I searched the net and quite here at XDA and have not found a satisfactory answer.
I would change the blue color of the Touchwiz menus, settings, dialer, etc.
Is there any way? Thank U ...

Probably not...That is why people are installing third party launchers because TouchWiz is very very limited in its customization.

Hi all!
So I'm fairly sure that there isn't another topic like this one, I did a couple searches. But I'm sorry if that's incorrect.
I just flashed MIUI 2.8.10 today and have been messing around with the options on it. Very cool ROM, I like it a lot, I just have a couple questions about it.
1. Is there a way I can speed up the lockscreen? As of right now my actual homescreen and phone interaction is very snappy and fast, but the lockscreen is sluggish. Is there any way to get the lockscreen up to par with the homescreen?
2. Are there any lockscreen options (e.g. customizing the lockscreen apps, etc.)? I've been searching around the system settings, etc. and I can't find any. When I get a text, I can't navigate right to it from the lockscreen (I can navigate to the messaging app from the lockscreen, but not right to the actual text message. I know that's picky, it's just a question.
I appreciate any help I can get! Thank you, there are still a lot of aspects of this ROM that I do not know about.

Glad you are liking the Rom!!!
Unfortunately, the lockscreen speed is due to the limitations of our device's CM9. Once Dragonzkiller has kexec working a lot of Roms (including this one) will see a huge performance increase. Also, the only way to really customize the lockscreen is by themes. Unfortunately some of the things you are asking are just impossible with the current set up. You may be able to try WidgetLocker for a lockscreen with a lot of customization.

Gotcha, that's cool. Thanks anyways! I'm definitely enjoying the ROM so far, Supercharging as I type this. It's a little weird getting used to all the MIUI apps that are on here, so I've renamed a lot to .bak. Another slightly beginner question, can I rename the MIUIHome.apk to .bak assuming I already have set Apex as my default launcher?

Yes and I actually recommend it if you are using another Launcher. If not, it will still load in the background and eat away precious RAM.

Hello, I searched but didn't find an answer to this one. So here goes.
I'm not a fan of the TouchWiz dialer app in the standard ICS ROM. I've tried out some dialers from the Play Store and find that I can use them... but once a number is dialed the ancient 2.x-looking dialer reappears for the duration. Any solution?

Is your phone rooted? If it is you could probably flash a .zip for a different dialer.
Hope this helps
Thanks!

Thanks for the response, I haven't rooted yet; I'm not a total newbie when it comes to rooting as I've done it for some previous phones. I haven't taken the leap because I'm wary of losing the ability to upgrade when the official JB ROM arrives (fingers crossed).
That being said.... Perhaps I'll go for it and permanently lose the 2009-looking dialer once and for all!
Thanks again!
Hey
I would re-commend using, dialer one. It's a great surprisingly for a third party app
the dialer and the phone are two seperate things. no matter what dialer you use after dialing it is always going to go back to stock phone. third party apps take the place of contacts.apk but calls are handled by phone.apk. you will have to flash a rom with a themed phone.apk or aosp based to get the change you want.
Good to know. I'm really puzzled by how dated parts of the UI are. When my Note arrived back in August I had to do a double take. From the dark background behind shortcut names on the homescreen to the green and grey dialer I thought Gingerbread was still lurking about somewhere. I use Nova Launcher pro to make most things look like ICS but it looks like I'll have to root and flash to finish the job. For some reason it really me.
Thanks to all for the help.

Hello,
I am fairy new to android scene and I really enjoyed personalizing my jail broken iPhone. I switched to android cause of the ability to personalize it however I am a little confused I am looking for a way to change some text strings. For instance on the iPhone I was able to change the message that appeared when you entered the wrong passcode. Same as the power off message saying "never" instead. I would like to know how to do this as well as change the icons on the phone I due know how to do this on the iPhone but am really lost on android any help would be great sorry that I don't know a lot of the correct terms.
Well I'm not particularly sure how to change the text on the things you described because I believe you would have to change the framework of the ROM...
As for theme... That's easy, you just need to install an alternative launcher as golauncher, nova or apex... These ha e separate theme packs you can download which will theme the icons and give you ability to change them yourself... But the icons packs won't work with stock launcher if that's what you are using
I use go launcher and what I would like to do is make my own compete theme is there software out there that I could use and I would like to learn how to possible write or understand the code but don't know where to start any suggestions would be great thanks again for the reply

Hello, as the title states the One is my first HTC phone, I technically had the HTC One X+, but only for about 12 hours before my son accidentally dropped it down the stairs. Other than that I have had all Samsung phones. I am loving the One and its working great so far, however there are two things that I am trying to change and have had no luck so far. First off I have tried multiple ROMs but I am currently running Android Revolution 10.1 with no mods other than what comes with the ROM. The two issue I am having are
1) The stock status bar transition from the solid grey to transparent, there is a noticeable delay when exiting an application and returning to the home screen where it takes a few seconds for the status bar to change from the solid grey to the transparent of the home/lock screen, also when unlocking the phone the status bar blinks from transparent to grey and then back, I was wondering if there was a way to make this change instant, or at least make it the solid grey all the time. I have done extensive searching in both the AT&T forums and the international ones, the only threads I could find are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297043 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291078 and I tried them both but with no luck, the first one just makes it black when it would normally be transparent and the second one I couldn't get to do anything. If someone could point me in the right direction here I would greatly appreciate it.
2) Is there any way to add app closing animations to a ROM? It seems with Sense when exiting an application it just closes back to the home screen with no animation at all, and that kind of kills the smoothness of the phone for me.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
try trickdroid it has a tweaks and themes package. one of the options is to choose animations

I tried that one and flashed the mods package and couldn't find the option anywhere, from what I understand from reading the forum, since v6 and the update to 4.2.2 a lot of the mods are not compatible and have been removed from the mods package until they are.

yes but themes and tweaks have been updated. idk how much has been implemented but i was running 7.0 and it had the animations
The status bar is like that because of the transparency feature, it did it on some of the aosp Roms I used on my old gs2sr. And I would like some good transitions to/from apps. I agree that it makes opening and closing apps seem smoother.

I flashed 7.0 along with the tweaks and themes packages, but my app open/close animations do not change, I have tried all the animations in the installer, but not matter what I choose the animations stay the same.
One way to get a solid notification bar is to install a 3rd party launcher like Nova/Apex/etc. That will make it solid at all times (the lockscreen will remain transparent unless you use something like Widgetlocker or holo locker), plus give you more customization options (like editing icons, text labels, animations, etc.). Seems like that's what you're looking for to answer your concerns.

Yeah that's a great suggestion, I just tried it and not only does it make the status bar solid but also adds animations to the closing of apps. Only issue I can see is none of the third party launchers allow the adding of the stock widgets yet, but I'm sure that will be sorted out in time. Thank you so much!

In the Google Store.
It is a Pay App
At least post a link then. I don't seem to be able to find it.
I would love a black theme too, at least a theme where the settings are also black (like the walkman settings). Can't find it anywhere.. Also tried modifying the stock themes but i'm a complete noob..
I recommend Existenz. You're into some heavy modding here, it's not something a little theme can do.
Not heavy modding, just change the background of the settings menu's. Seems a little bit silly, but I would really like it. Most themes are beautiful but the settings page is just so ugly. On Sony devices, this should just be a jpg or png file change in the theme apk. It won't work because I don't know where to get framework-res
