So you want to make your phone ugly and non-open source? I would have given you a hatefull answer, but I have been warned before. So I will only say this- get an iphone and leave this heaven. You don't even want to learn... When I registered in XDA I was already reading and using the forum for a few months. I knew all the terms, flashed roms and I didn't create useless threads with stupid questions.
get a theme

how can theming android like ios make it not open source? the reason you see people wanting the ios or windows look is because they believe they can get it. they believe in the power of android. I don't know why some people hate the ios look like its an abomination but if it was there wouldn't be so many companies trying to emulate that look. ios does look pretty (for a while anyways) and there's nothing wrong in somebody wanting to emulate it on their android. the only stupid thing here is your useless comment that doesn't help at all.

I have two requests for some people :

2. If there is a thumb down button here at XDA, someone would probably get a most thumb down record in Z2 forum.
Really wish mod could close the thread.

FOR loCKED & UNLOCKED bOOTLOADER:
You can Flash MIUI 7 which have a look pretty close to IOS but it is based on 4.4.4
If you prefer to stay with Sony Stock you can flash Mr. SL Rom in the link below or you can just use layer theming on Stock MM and use Ilayers RRO Theme.

well nice try but no.
android is a open source operating system AND WE ARE PROUD OF THAT FACT
this gives many developers and other people the option to make wonderfull things for android phones like kernels, mods or roms to improve performance, battery life, sound output, camera quality, and a bettter looking UI. Apple doesnt give us the opptunity to modify any things. thats why there is no IOS for Android and hardly no ROMs for IOS. I only know Grayed00r and Whited00r for iPhone/iPad/iPod wich give the user the feeling of a newer IOS on a old device like a ipad 1 (2010) with a IOS 5.1.1 based system wich looks like IOS 8 and has some IOS 8 features like the control thing after swiping up. as I said before, its only a UI change and is very hard to make. the IOS 8 apps wont work even on a IOS 8 looking os....
Apple gives a **** on individuality and wants that every single person on our planet uses an apple device, wich is more a status symbol and not a VERY VERY usefull device for 800$

I read it again-same thing.
1. Don't make me quote your first coment and the thread name. Is it just me or the word "theme" is invisible?
2.You are requesting someone else to make the thing YOU want. And a very specific thing on top of that.
3. We all know that if an iOS-themed ROM(not iOS directly, that would be super hard and probably illegal) comes out it will be used by 0,1% of users.

Hatin' on Microsoft because you think it's cool now that you're an Android fanboy is incredibly stupid.
At first, I didn't like the WP7 interface but the more I've seen it, the more useful it seems. Don't be surprised if you see a bunch of Android fanboys go back to WP7. It already has advantages over Android out of the box - like Exchange support that doesn't suck.
I'd love to see a WP7 launcher.

Also the other windows based theme is based off of Win7 for the desktop,

And to the OP this may need to be in the themes section,

I thanked your post, not because it was in any way useful but absolutely hilarious!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that will most likely never happen. I'll trade my wife's iPhone 4 for your Note though, I'll even throw in a dead iPad!
Well, truth be told, there is not a solution yet.
BUT, if you wait a bit, a rom called MIUI will likely be developed.
Let me explain...
Cyanogen is a team that develops 'clean' Android roms for many devices. This means, no bloat and has ALL of the features that Android has to offer, enabled (with exception to features that would not be applicable because the phone simply does not have the hardware - for example, if your phone does not have NFC, Cyanogen wont support it for your device and they simply remove all of the code related to this). The result is, the most feature rich version of Android (and most up to date as they do keep up with Google's releases) with the least amount of crap. This keeps the phone lean and clean.
Now, since Cyanogen is open source, they make the source code available for other rom developers to modify what they have done to create different experiences. This allows developers to start with a feature rich rom and develop on top of that to add their own 'flavor' to their work.
One such 'flavor' is MIUI which strives to make your Android device as Iphone like as possible. While it isnt perfectly matched to the Iphone, its moderately close.
Dont get me wrong, I for the life of me am baffled as to why someone would want their Android phone to look like an Iphone but that is what MIUI is there for.
(BTW, if I am wrong about MIUI, feel free to mention it, based on everything I have read about it however, the impression I got was to theme an Android OS to look like IOS).
However, we have a long way before this happens. Rom developers have barely figured out how to do anything with this phone.
To my knowledge, there is only 1 custom rom (Saurom) and it isnt really all that custom from what I can see. All it seems to have is enhancements from the stock rom (overclocking, cwm, att bloat removed?) but in essence is just a more efficient streamlined stock rom.
There is also only one custom kernel that I can see that again, is the same as the stock kernel but allows for overclocking (and I think I read that the davlik cache size was increased).
Once Samsung releases the source code for the Note, we will start seeing alot more rom development, at which time Cyanogen will jump on board and start making roms (using the source that Samsung releases for things like drivers) and once Cyanogen has a relatively stable rom, MIUI will likely take the Cyanogen source and tweak it.
Very convoluted I know but probably wont be seeing anything earth shattering until the source code is released from Samsung.

Hey folks,
Do you know if there are any developers working on porting Android L Developers Preview to our G2?
It's just that the Nexus 5 and the LG G2 are very similar on hardware, it seems like it's not that complicated.
Thanks.
Please don't move the thread to Q&A, it's less a question and more a discussion.

Well, depends on how difficult it is to port it to the G2. If it's difficult and could take a lot of time I agree with you, start developing a ROM would be a waste of time.
But if it's an easy work (as I said earlier, the Nexus 5 and the G2 are similar) then making a ROM that matches the exact one running on the Nexus without any more features, would be very nice and something to play with until the full version comes out. And my guess is that the full L will be close (in the way of how it works) to the preview, so it might help developing later.
I think will be develop L port for our device after will be published official L sources by google

I agree with you. It would be fun to play with. I don't see why it's such a pain to do seeing that the devices are so close in specs.
Giga they are close in specs with chipset and screen but they have lots of differences regarding hardware. Its also hard to port an android version what your phone doesn't have yet and also taking the risk to do it the biggest problems are the kerne i guess. It would be theoritically possible to just flash the android l from the nexus 5 on the g2 and it might boot but its highly risky and things like wifi etc probably don't work and it could cause screen problems like the stripes issue since we don't know yet what it causes to get like that.

todo a more gently reply, of course you can get themes that makes you feel like using a samsung phone
just install one of the LOS Roms and use the themes you like
Samsung software on android devices is one of the most hated things in the android world (my opinion)
They destroyed very often the straight forward menu structure from android and its a pain in the ass.
Grow up, enjoy EUI (that is compared to samsungs crapp nice and usable without a knot in the brain^^ )
or use on of the LOS or other customs roms... and if you like samsungs icons...my girlfriend also needs them ^^
..just use the themes from play store .
Have fun ! Enjoy life!
The answer to this question would probably be no as there is not much of a reason to port over Touchwiz to this phone, as well as the fact that Touchwiz is closed source software and therefore can be very tricky to port over. This is the fact that can be said about many of these "custom skins" made by manufacturers that changes too much of the core framework of Android and unless they provide a porting kit "a la miui patchrom", it's next to impossible or not very worthwhile to spend time porting it.
Also guys, please be friendly to each other because this a forum and not a sandbox. It's pretty unnecessary to start with personal attacks when not being able to agree about a certain question and it's better just to provide a good answer to the question in this case. It just leads to a negative atmosphere here and it does only harm everyone in the long term.

The answer to this question would probably be no as there is not much of a reason to port over Touchwiz to this phone, as well as the fact that Touchwiz is closed source software and therefore can be very tricky to port over. This is the fact that can be said about many of these "custom skins" made by manufacturers that changes too much of the core framework of Android and unless they provide a porting kit "a la miui patchrom", it's next to impossible or not very worthwhile to spend time porting it.
Also guys, please be friendly to each other because this a forum and not a sandbox. It's pretty unnecessary to start with personal attacks when not being able to agree about a certain question and it's better just to provide a good answer to the question in this case. It just leads to a negative atmosphere here and it does only harm everyone in the long term.

Yeah look at Aurel's Small EUI..
It's really absurd to see people happy with the arrive of GSI roms that doesn't feature Moto mod support. I've tried some roms and the obvious result is that non of it let you use any mod so, ¿Is there any chance that developers build a ron or a module that let Moto mods work in GSI?
I agree, it's very annoying, there is even a super detailed guide on how to implement it on XDA somewhere. It has been accomplished already for all main mods, including JBL. (Maybe version 2)?
I tried bringing this guide to the attention of devs and got in **** for posting it in the development section so devs could see it lol
At least the battery mod will still charge the phone in recovery mode our little secret lol.
Well, at least we have Pie ROMs. And I don't know how compatible the Mods framework is with GSI. @MusicAlleyInc and you where already told that most devs wont do that since that can break too much stuff on the way and none are willing to go through the hassels just to satisfy a hand full of people actually using modules

Many people use Turbopower, and JBL.
Those are referenced over and over.
Most times, Turbopower works but efficiency mode does not.
JBL often works without volume control.
These Roms are all using the same basic foundation.

As I said: there is a tutorial which describes how to do this PROPERLY, without breaking anything, maybe a few things in the mods not working yet, but not breaking other things.
> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72601804&postcount=2 <
It has been done, can be done, and obviously can be done if Motorola can do it in the first place.
And as noted, many people do use mods. That is why any intelligent person would have bought this phone. It's not to satisfy a handful of people, it's to have our phones work as they are meant to work.

Well, there is quite a big difference between being Motorola, getting paid for it and having access to all necessary source code and being a dev doing that in your free time a having only limited access to necessary source codes

There is also a difference between competence and incompetence. The main mods used >already< work without issues except for the JBL mod, which is only an issue because of some proprietary code or driver or something.
But who the hell cares, that is what Bluetooth speakers are for.
All most people really care about is the battery mod and projector. Exclusive features like that without any simple/efficient alternatives.
These mods have worked stable in many custom ROMS when a little extra effort was made to make something competent. The only reason they are not working in Pie ROMS is because GSI's are universal and don't have them implemented in their base as they have been in past custom ROMS which were made FOR THIS PHONE...

While you call every ROM developer incompetent, when you know oh so much about that and how it had to be done, why haven't you just made your own ROM supporting every Moto mod?

What's your problem? I didn't call every ROM developer incompetent, I was actually highlighting the competence of ones who achieved mod compatibility.

You complain most ROMs do not (fully) support mods, that means in your words those ROM developers are all incompetent

Neither did I claim to know so much, I simply shared what I found.. an observation, do you gather?
It's not cool twisting peoples words to try to make them look bad.
Why would I build a ROM that supports most mods: when it has been done, that makes no sense...
Neither does the attitude I have received while trying to relay this information to devs for the benefit of the entire Moto Z2 play community.
I am not a DEV, perhaps that is another reason why I don't build my own ROM.

By the very definition of competence, building something that doesn't fully work is technically incompetence IN REGARDS TO THIS SUBJECT MATTER.
Especially when it has been already achieved to some degree. I am not complaining, nor did i say "fully" either. I am highlighting this fact and this fact only, do you have an issue with facts, or just a problem with pretense?

Then, just maybe, you should leave those topics to people who actually are instead of whining in several threads about devs deciding not to support it. You simply have no right to complain.

Maybe you need to understand the concept of progress and a constructive attitude.
Calling it whining is literally just making things personal, and totally unnecessary.
You insist on trying to dictate my intention as negative, your problem, not mine.
The thing is that GSI roms are generic, I know. But I have not seen any developments in Android P working around the mod support, ¿There's no possible way to build a module that let the users use turbo power mod in GSI? We have a great phone with a great power mod and we can't use it. For me is absurd to use GSI if I cannot get the most out of it
"Then, just maybe, you should leave those topics to people who actually ARE implementing this the same way the guy in the link I posted did....?"
But yet everyone is so fast to tell me nobody is and that nobody IS or has much interested in replicating his work, hmmm.

Then just read the thread you opened on that topic. That's basically the definition of whining. And you are surprised that it wasn't taken very well when you don't stick to the forum rules about what belongs in which section and write it with such an attitude basically telling anyone that reads it that you think most ROM devs are just lazy and don't care about their users interests

Be happy that at least you can get something out of it for now using recovery mode.
I say just be patient, Stock Pie shouldn't be that far off. And if you want CUSTOM PIE and mod support, well chances look good that it can be done when dev's have access to stock pie firmware?

Dude, please cease and desist and stop twisting things out of context. You are pretentiously whining about me sharing important information and expecting ROMS made for this phone to make use of something that allows mods to work for this phone. Give it a rest.
And that post was totally soiled by someone with an attitude similar to your own, the reason I broke forum rules was for citing blatent ignorance as ignorance. Yeah, ask me how bad I feel about that.

That very developer removed mods support to improve the stability and performance of the Rom. And don't try to teach the developers how to create a ROM , we have only one left.

So the same guy who claims he got these mods working stable and was promoting other people used what he learned, removes his work from his ROM because it makes it perform worse?
How does it impact performance? I have run at least 3 or 4 ROM with projector and turbo pack support that were absolutely fine and stable.
Also: it's fairly obvious this dude was the one trying to teach developers how to integrate mod support into their ROM, not me.
