Hey guys I just watched Ex Machina (was awesome I thought!), but I was really taken back by the phone they used, specifically the theme. Just wondering if anyone has seen something like that out there in the form of CM themes or ColourScreen etc. It looks to me like it's android although I could be wrong.
Here is a link to a screenshot I found of the phone in question:

Hey guys, Just been looking through the release forum and im just trying
to figure out why all the gingerbread Roms / Skins are looking like the IPHONE? .. Is there any reason why? or is it just the "look" At the moment? ..
Cause i don't like the Iphone but i want Gingerbread

you will be looking at the MIUI based roms. look instead for the AOSP or CyanogenMod based roms for a normal GB look. Try Wolfbreak or Jerpelea.....
Tim.
Ooo.. i probably didnt notice that! Thanks for quick reply..
is there a real difference in any of them?
Like you said MIUI? And AOSP? CyanogenMod ? just all have there own little tweaks about them?
they are all based on the same underlying system, but operate in different ways. Think of MIUI / AOSP / CyanogenMod as skins and it might make it a bit easier for you. They all do the same things, but look different doing them. AOSP is plain old vanilla Android, CyanogenMod is a highly customised version of AOSP and Miui is more of an iPhone clone. hope that helps
edit: the above is a very simplified view, but it gets the idea across
Thanks!
Last Question is.. some of these mods come with something called "spare parts, 1,2,3,4".. What are these? just Extra mods you can choose to install if you like?
spare parts is basically a pile of tweaks and mods that let you further customise your phone....see screenshots for examples. its got things like statusbar tweaks, launcher options and all sorts of little things. to be honest tho, ive never used them....
So as you know with the new motoblur ui there are these nifty (And in my opinion sexy ;3) turn animations. but what i want to know is, if i switch to a rom lets say cm7 or the soon to come miui, would there be any possible way to get these animations back or get any animation when i turn the screen at all? i hate the simple "Turn the screen the screen turns" its blocky and 8 bit to me. and please dont chop my head off if this was already asked :3 I looked through the forums and couldnt find anything like this.
-thanks in advance

If it's any help, I've flashed all sorts of gingerbread ROMs (currently running Nottach's Darkside vI.4 with his Evoluer theme) and it has remained present.
I'm with you, I like it as well. I don't think you have to worry about it disappearing.
Granted, don't quote me when it comes to CM7.
I'm not sure but if you use certain launchers, you could get those animations back. I haven't seen the motoblur ones but i saw a youtube review of some launcher which had a screen orientation animation which looked like the iOS one, just as smooth but about 1 second longer.
Alas the ONLY down side to rocking cm7 imo. That rotation animation is so sexy and was the only thing I felt android was missing. Someone would have to figure out how to take the animation from blur and make it compatible with cm7. Which I am fairly certain is much easier said than done. That being said maybe with the new version of android coming out soon, perhaps google will add it into ice cream sandwich. And if that happens then I expect we will see it in future cyanogen roms.
I've seen a video of someone using "ICS" on a Galaxy S2.
Although I know it's fake, I'd really like to know what launcher it is the person uses.
I've tried GO. I'll try and see what it looks like with ADW. and LP although I don't know if either will work.
www youtube com/watch? v=JTF5kFlefHU& feature=player_embedded#!
^There's the video. I can't post it as a link because this is my first post... :/
See if anyone can figure it out before I can.
-----------EDIT-----------
I think it might be LP the guy's using, he's just moved some icons about.
Search the market for ics launcher

I've already tried that. It only seems to come up with the theme for ADW/LP/GO. I'll have a look again, though.
---------------
I stand corrected. I just searched again and scrolled a little farther this time.
Found it quickly. Setting up now. Thanks a lot!
Anytime dude It's quite nice I guess
Yeah, I really like the App Menu. It looks a lot nicer than Stock 2.3.5
Hey Guys
It may be a silly question but I was wondering why the official release still looks like gingerbread I mean obviously some parts look like ICS but others dont, why is this ?
This can be fixed with a theme editor I guess but I was just wondering why, when O2 release this to customers will it still look as it does now ?
Yes it will as samsung are so in love with touchwiz that they should marry it.
I use spb shell so will stick to that.
But use any launcher to get the look you want. When Im not using spb use launcher pro as it gives you a wide scope to play with

Hey person from Telford! nice to see another.
This is the way ICS will look on the SGS2. Samsung wouldn't change from this look as it could potentially alienate a lot of their 20million customers.
Hey guys thanks for the answers, so whats the best way to make it look how its ment to is there a hack to get the look or is the best way via a theme ? the reason I ask is because I have come across this guy http://www.samsung-galaxy-s2-android.com/rom-android-403.html
that is the look I want and he seems to have got the look with earlier versions
The way to get the stock look is with a theme like my ICS RED
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535956
or with a custom ROM.
thats diffrent so if I look for that but im guessing th blue one im after that should do me thanks

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that is AOSP ICS version, so that's the default look of it.. It's not themed
means nothing to me mate so thats the original rom from google or a beta anyway, Im guessing this guy will update this soon then ?
I just want my SGS2 to look like how google inteneded mainly cause its better looking

The problem is that AOSP isn't 100% functional yet.. video recording, MTP and some other things don't work yet and they will remain that way until samsung releases sources or xplodwild finishes his kernel ^^
oooohhhhhh its all starting to make sense now, that makes sense so its just a waiting game really then we can install the google version and its then happy days, so thats what this guy is doing and the CM9 guys
I guess what they do now then is backwards engineer what Samsung has released and work from there
I'm also interested in this. Basically I want a change from always looking at the same menu after a year and i had hoped ics would give it but im hearing it all looks the same cause of touchwizz. So I'm hearing different things, some people say install a theme, others say install a launcher and yet others talk about installing a new rom?
The Ressurection Rom looks quite cool, is it really a bugfree experience? Do i have to reinstall all my programs, downloaded apps and stuff like battlenet authenticator?
Can I install the ressurection rom now or do i need to wait till my phone has ics installed trough kies?
What is the best way to go to get a smooth ICS type experience? Whats the main difference between these things? (sorry im a noob by the way and theres so much information on this site its hard to get a grip on it).
Have a look at the link i put up I think the best thing is to install that rom after its been updated again with the new version of the ics that was just leaked

Nova launcher will give you a stock ics like experience. Worth a try

Hi All,
Just got my GS3 32g on verizon today..Bought mine privately so I could keep my unlimited data!
Have a couple of general questions. I am upgrading from an HTC rezound..While I liked the sense overlay on my rezound (don't hate me for it)
I was wondering if there was a way to live weather screens that I had with HTC (ie: clock..)
I have been looking at "true weather" on the google play store, but was wondering what everyone else has been doing...
Also, my GS3 came with swype but I seem to have had a different (newer) beta version on my rezound that seemed better... Can I switch to that version without too much trouble?
Also, been thinking about rooting, but was gonna wait a bit.
Thanks in advance,
drumrjoe
Not sure about the weather thing, but Swype beta works fine, just go to the website and download the installer
Sense analog clock dark widget?

Hey,
Just wanted to give a sincere thanks for the help
I'm starting to get the hang of the phone, and I am extremely happy I switched to the GS3. I have been using the true weather LWP and some sense style widget for the clock.
I am attaching a screenshot of my main screen.
Also, I remember seeing posts about other phones where people have ripped sounds/wallpapers, etc...
Was wondering if I can possibly use a theme from another phone/ let's say an HTC on the GS3???
Rock on,
