Hey guys, quite some time ago I remember downloading a custom AOSP kitkat ROM that featured a different recent apps theme, one that looked like ios 7, do any of you know it's name? It's been a long time since I downloaded it and I don't have the file in my computer, so if any of you could help me that would be great.

don't know how ios7 recent looks like but the ROMs which provide a different one then the stock recents are:
- slimrom and temasek rom: both have selectable slim recents (looks like a sidebar)
- omnirom: it has omniswitch which can be selected as recents
there are probably also other ROMs which have the above recents alternatives.

Maybe do you mean MIUI ROM?

New owner of an SG2, which I'm liking so far. Am coming from N1 Cyanogenmod.
At present I've rooted my phone and am running the stock rom with Launcher Pro.
I'm liking a bunch of the features of the stock rom (well trying them out) and am deciding whether I keep the stock rom or move to a custom rom.
I do have a few questions about the stock rom, which I wonder can be answered here:
- With the pull down menu you have the options of wifi, bluetooth etc in the status bar. Is there anyway of changing these options (for example want to remove bluetooth).
- With the dialler, once I make a call it goes into a screen with a bunch of options, like, save contact, etc. Is there anyway of avoiding this screen and going straight to home? (incidentally you are given the option of "voice call". Is this something provided by your network or another service?)
- Autorotate. Is it possible to NOT have it working on the homescreen, but available in your apps?
In relation to custom rom, what do you guys reckon is as close to stock as possible, but with a bit more customisation. I'm guessing a custom rom would be able to deal with most of my queries.
1) majority of roms have that bar modified where you can slide it across and have upto 12 triggers, although you can't really remove them. However with cm7 and miui you can customize that bar to your hearts content.
2) no idea
3) look in the launcher pro settings, you should be able to set it there so it doesn't auto rotate
Give cm7 a try.

Cheers mate. Was using CM7 fine with my N1, guess just wanted to mix it up a bit. There are a bunch of features I do like about the stock rom though.
I'll run it for another week and then may give MIUI a go.
Checkout jkay mods and themes for stock roms in the theme section.
Can do basically what you want Plus more.
Also many launchers (home screens) can set whether to auto rotate. Set it to off in launcher and leave the system auto rotate on.

Thanks, will have a play with the custom themes.
Also, I presume, if I install MIUI or Cyanogenmod, I could still install the Samsung specific apks?

No, you can not install any Samsung apps on CM. (May be you're thinking you like the stock browser so you want to use it on CM, but you can not).

Sorry for the newb qustions, but is this because of the ROM itself?

Cheers mate. I note you are using GingerMod, may give that a try as it seems to be the AOSP, with the ability to add certain TW apps.

Yes. CM7 and MIUI are build from scratch and doesn't contain anything related to Samsung. So unlike stcok based custom roms, these two roms doesn't support Samsung apps.

Well, the reason you wanted to try is exactly the reason why so many users love GingerMod rom. It has some good apps from Samsung, like the gpu accelerated browser, camera app, fm radio. Rest 95 % is aosp.
So it's pure google experience,no Samsung bloatware, and we can still enjoy some of the real good apps Samsung made.

heh, would love a cyan-samsung bastard child port. If only I had the skills to do that.
Love the ability with Cyan to tweak a whole bunch of settings, but am liking quite a few of the Samsung apps.
Will look into GingerMod as it may be a good compromise.

There is one more reason why i personally like GingerMod.
It is 99% (or 100%) bug free. Infact, i find it more stable than any official firmware.
I had a rom installed on my Tab which allowed it to run multiple apps at the same time in a kind of split screen mode. (up to 3 apps if i remember correctly). I want to install this rom but totally forgot its name and can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know the name of this rom/mod?
I don't want to hear answers like "Use overskreen"... It was true multitasking with every app supported.

Are you talking about running multiple apps side by side? There aren't any ROMs for ICS or JB that I am aware of that permit this function. I know the new Galaxy Tab Note 10.1 has this functionality and it looks wicked cool!
On the factory-based ROMs for ICS you can use widgets from the Navigation Bar that will overlay email, calendar and notes widgets on top of the app that you are in, but I'm guessing you are talking about something else.

Yes, there really was a ROM which allowes running 3 apps side by side but I don't rember if it was Gingerbread or ICS. I think it was a AOKP based ROM. I had it installed on my tablet and it worked.
Found it. It's name is Onskreen Cornerstone. And the ROM I tested was AOKP based. I think it was a build by Roman the AOKP guy.(http://onskreen.com/cornerstone/index.php)
But I sill haven't found the ROM again.

hello i know cm7 has a few lockscreens and many options but i dont like any of them! and the ones i do like give a really laggy slow animation when the icons zoom in at you...
im just wondering if theres any mods around that give me a few better options? i do like the MIUI lockscreen where you drag from the centre to either up down left or right to a different app each time, id love this if i could find it! iv tried it on MIlocker but its laggy and buggy as hell lol
can anyone link me to some new lockscreens that will work on my atrix? (cm 7.2 MROM)
thanks! :fingers-crossed:
There are many lockscreen apps available on Google Play. I've also seen some non-MIUI ROMs (can't remember which ones though) that have MIUI lockscreen added, so clearly that's possible too.

yeah iv tried a few and they all seem very laggy mainly because there apps and not built into the software, im guessing anyway :silly:
the only one iv tried that fast is holo locker, but im just really looking for one thats not an app and is flashable so its intergrated into the actuall rom

You can't do that. The default system lockscreen is deeply integrated with the core framework. That means not only you'd need a different flashable ZIP for each and every ROM out there, you'd need a different ZIP even for different versions of the same ROM.

okay i understand thank you.
Holo Locker is a good lockscreen replacement. You can also disable de built-in lockscreen from CM7.
Go to Cyanogenmod Configs > Tablet > Disable lockscreen

well, as ravilov stated, we cant "flash" a different lockscreen since its buried inside the framework, but i did once use a beautifull and FULLY customisable lockscreen that was and actually have an options to stick in memory, so triggering the 3rd party lockscreen is flawless and fluid as hell ! only cons : its a payable app !
Its called Widget locker -> go take a look on the market (every slider style is customisable from MIUI style to Sense to IOS
Google play store link to widget locker
[Paranoid android ROM is missingtons of features.. What happened to u guys? You guys were awesome. You guys were adding nice and unique functionalities to android like halo, pie, hover . but what happened now. Now the current paranoid android ROM has only theme engine. Why you guys removed all those nice features. Please add some xblast tools features and the floating windows features. And you guys did a great job. Good work. Always liked paranoid android Roms they have very unique and good functionalities.
Somebody hasn't tried it obviously.
We have hover, we have pie, we have floating window, quick settings, etc etc.

I like your rom and CyanogenMod function more!
Lock Screen
High Guys does this Rom have lock screen notifications ?
USB host
Add USB host mode.
The only thing keeping me back from upgrading from 3.99 to 4.4 is the fact it doesn't have the one feature which I heavily use... The Hybrid engine, that has to be my favorite mod to Android.
I hope you guys release it soon.
Keep up the good work!

The new paranoid android rom which i used doesnt have hover or floating apps. The one with CM theme engine integrated. The main thing which i am missing a lot is the hybrid engine.

If you are running official paranoid android then you definitely have hover and floating apps. Sounds like you didn't turn hover on....

I've been looking for a way to replace the lollipop notification pulldown with the one from the old holo systemui (the one with the toggles on a separate page, e.g. on jellybean). I'm currently running rooted CM13 on this phone.
I know some people prefer the new design, but I like the old one better. Would it be possible to do this, short of using CM11? I haven't seen anything anywhere similar to this.
Thanks

Uh, this is quite improbable. Worth's more downgrading to some ROM which uses Holo. You can also dual boot your phone xD
