That's not really iPhone like Guys, You don't have to download such a ROM if you have the ability to take a Hackdroid ROM (Or another ROM) and put some other stuff on it which are more styled like an iPhone.
I don't think that an Android device was made to be an iPhone. If you want to have such a look you simply have to buy an Apple device

He modified a ROM, He wanted to share it, and that's cool. There is no need to spam. That's why we are here, to share, learn, help and make everyone have a big funny smiley face. And I have a big one.
EDIT: Somebody maybe have not the skills to modify a ROM to make it looks good so other who can share that ROMs for the others.

Yeah, really agreed with you
Sorry My post wasn't supposed to be a spam. But in my opinion there are enough devices which want to be like an iPhone and that is very ridiculous.
The ROM for itself seems to be a cool one but everytime i read something like "iPhone Theme for [...]" i'm going crazy
LOL
just added few programs
and NO ONE © to devs, whoose work u use
looks like.. hm.. STEALING OTHER'S WORK

Hi,
I'm maybe new here, but I've made a big project in a Dutch forum.
I've made 'FerhatMod V2.1'. It is running on Android 4.0.3 and I used the kernel of Wayland. The rest is of me!
Download: ferhatremory.be -> Portfolio -> Ferhatmod -> Download.
Will be later in English etc, is my new site znd will be soon multilanguage.
What I've made extra:
Music player is been restyled;
Launcher, contacts, phone, messaging etc has been fasted.
Video lagging fixed.
New bootanimation, if u want to have the ICS boot, tell me.
All app's (not system app's) can be replaced to SD-card.
Keyboard fixed.
System lag fixed
What I'll add:
Themechooser
Overclock functions
Choosable launchers
Make ur own lockscreen (like Lockbot)
What doesn't work:
Camera, but I'll try to compile the camera of GB
FM-Radio, same
Clock, but now I've Wakeupvoice.
Thanks and sorry for my badly English
Do u like, THANKS!
sounds good

currently we have 2 cm9 roms (both in alpha) one is by Maclaw, other is by Wayland......
is this based on Wayland?
or you have built from source ??
As you can read I've used the alpha 9 of him (for his kernel), and updated a lot in the time. Already two months busy with it.

Placeholder for Fixes
Sharing Knowledge
Do you have a Github, i.e. are you sharing your fixes. The GalaxyICS team is hard at work, and you can see all of their changes here:
https://github.com/GalaxyICS
Perhaps you should share your fixes to their work. The idea of open-source is many people working to a common goal for the benefit of us all, instead of lots of incompatible projects, each fixing the same things over and over again
Anyway, good luck!
I'll see for it. Because if I update, it is updated automaticly on my site.
so we first install waylands rom and then install your mod ??
No, U can install mine without installing Waylands ROM .
This is a Rom, but the name is Mod
may be i got it wrong ... the thing i am downloading is only 18.5 mb... how can it be rom ?
it is 130 MB
can u send direct link to that page ??
i am downloading this :
http://www.ferhatremory.be/portfolio/
Then u have Ferhatmod and then Download in a black submit link.
Edit: I see that Filezilla absorbed zip, I'll upload again!
have you tried the link itself ? .. the download link is giving an 18.5 MB zip file .. can you please double check it ? ..
How long uploading 130mb can take? lol...

Blue_View for android_5.1.1 N5_roms
This is really that what I want for my Note 4. Does it only work on Exynos Note 4? I have an N910F Snapdragon.
@claude96 so glad to see you here, still have your theme on my old note2. Can't wait for you to do the snapdragon as well, hit me up anytime if you want any help/testing for the 910f
download link please I'm on sweet rom v3
☆SAGITTARIUS☆
If the theme runs on N910F is it possible to make it for XNote Rom?
Please make it compatible with snapdragon 910f. This is the awesome theme so far for note 4 users and itsnot fair to be only for exynos.

It's not about unfair, Claude has the exynos so will make for his own device first. If you have followed his work on the note 2 he did make his theme for the other variants and I'm sure when he gets the time will make it for us as well
@claude96 I am ready for testing. I am using sweet ROM V3. Maybe you could port over to newer base.
Im using ketan rom.

@sawdoctor glad to see you here too, Thanks a million for your test offer, I'll give you a link for your phone model to test as soon as it's done, again thanks a bunch.
@Urban pendu & @samaxen working on sweet rom version 3 know, hopefully I'll upload it later today.
@huborge I'll try to work on it later as well hopefully.

I was hoping you would do Blue View for N4 I had it on my N2 and miss it. By the way I think it should for the most part work on all variants of N4 the apk on the left is from a exynos and the right is stock 910W8 both have the same version numbers
It would be possible for you to share your awesome work
Good afternoon Mr. claude96, I'm using sweet rom v5, please be possible that you share with me the issue.
I would appreciate strongly, I am a faithful follower of the topics blue.
I like a lot.
Thank you very much for your work.
A greeting.

Thank You Soooo Mucchhh For Making A AOSP Based Rom For SM-G900H....Finally Found It...So Happy....Work Will Be Truely Appreciated.... Again Thanx It Means A Lot To Us.
Not what I was expecting
I was expecting actual CM system.ui files/code. Right now, only apps are themed to look like CM. Also, apps are included that could be downloaded from the Internet and do not require a rom (ie, the aosp browser and the CM file manager). Hopefully you will theme the system.ui soon, as that is very difficult. I've been trying to do this for 4+ months and I can only manage to change the holo light and dark colors and some of the icons. You can also download "all backs black" from XDA and that makes it look more AOSP. The annoying blue touchwiz bar at the top of the settings and call apps seem to be persistent in the screenshots. If you could find a way to remove this, I would up vote and even donate to you. Good luck dude

Guys Please leave your Feedback
I can share with you a simple and minimal Android rom that could make the ace completely usable in 2018... Would you be interested?
I think that the best idea is to use Android 2.3 as base (no bloatware, no TouchWiz, and no Android 4.4 that just crazily drains battery)
I' ve tested less known apps that can still run on 2.3 (and found them very fast too). I will replace old system apps with them
I also thought that a good way to push the Ace beyond it's limit is to take a look at the Sony Xperia Play threads on xda. This phone has the same cpu/gpu and it has been supported a lot through the years (being a gaming phone, Devs has done their best to optimize performance instead of themes and useless functions)
Let me know what you want to see in this rom and I'll try to do it!
Just leave a comment with an advice :fingers-crossed:
----------UPDATE--------------------------
I'm creating a NEW/Better thread for my Rom, subscribe to this one to stay tuned!

Mich-C ROM v0.5 is out!

Hello. I just found my old Galaxy Ace on drawer and tried to use it - hard landing from Oreo I'll be interested and I have one friend who is still using it as a daily phone so there are two of us.

Hi tiger! Thank you!
Would you also be interested in testing the first release of the rom?
If the project will be appreciated I' ll work on next releases even more (I could recompile the rom from source, we could change the kernel, choose more in depth oprimizations ecc)
P.S. Which are the best and last roms you installed on your ace?
New rom? Great!
Would you be interested?

Hello.
I'm interested too. I recover from dust my old Galaxy Ace II (GT-S5839i), but it is very limited in memory right now. There is no easy way to extend memory with an SD card.
Some apps are not supported on the old Gigerbread 2.3.6 (Whatsapp will not have any update anymore). I was not aware of the "4.4 draining battery probelm"

Hi jaymor,
Regarding 4.4 :
the 4.4. battery consuption problem is caused by Jellybean itself. Devs that made 4,4 roms made a wonderful job, but the the ace hardware doesn't have enough power to work on a so new new/heavy os.
Regarding Whatsapp :
I don't see any reason to don't use WA on Android 2.3
1) they stopped updating it just 4 months ago (I don't know if you have the latest version)
2) they aren't adding new features, and the most important one that is messages criptografy is supported on 2.3
3) WA does nothing else that increasing in size with each version, and you just tell us how limited storage could be annoying on old devices
Regarding GT-S5839i
I checked its specs, it seems to have 158mb of rom and support for micro-sds up to 32gb. Using a custom rom you shouldn't worry about memory.
Unfortunately you can't flash my rom (it's for s5830) I'll surely make a rom also for this device if I had a device for testing it, but first of all I have to complete this rom
Hi Mich-C.
I agree with you : Whatsapp work for now on 2.3, but they announced (I cant post link in XDA, but search Google for "WhatsApp-support-for-mobile-devices" ) it will not work anymore in 2020. Same for Symbian and iOS 6 (and old dino-smartphone).
Not a big deal, but if I could refurb this phone to my kids for free, it will be cool.

Hi jaymor,
Regarding Whatsapp :
I don't see any reason to don't use WA on Android 2.3
1) they stopped updating it just 4 months ago (I don't know if you have the latest version)
2) they aren't adding new features, and the most important one that is messages criptografy is supported on 2.3
3) WA does nothing else that increasing in size with each version, and you just tell us how limited storage could be annoying on old devices
Regarding GT-S5839i
I checked its specs, it seems to have 158mb of rom and support for micro-sds up to 32gb. Using a custom rom you shouldn't worry about memory.

ok thanks
but did you know that this is not an actual Lollipop rom? It's a rom themed to look like lollipop. It was posted here on the forum, if I'm not wrong it's based on cm7.1 (so Android 2.3)

Ok, anyway we still have almost 2 year to keep using whatsapp. I hope that until then it will be replaced by something else.
I would also recompile those apks to make them working on 2.3, but apps like Whatsapp (or even Telegram) are not opensource...

Mmhh, not sure... "About Phone" shows 'Android 5.0' . I never used lollipop so I cannot verify whether it is a lookalike or a ROM. Here in the forums I did not find it, maybe you had " conceptL' in mind? That one was posted here indeed as far as I remember. And that one is a CM 7.1

The showed android version can be modified by the dev.
The name of the author is probably hidden in settings or in the easter egg (touch 7 times "about phone")
Last "actual" android version that was developed fo ace is kitkat

Thank you! So I was right
Did you download the rom just to check this? Great XD

Do you know that ROM : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=utQNDtWdQDo? No lollipop-lookalike ?

It's the first time I see this rom.
Do you mean that you like its non-lollipop look? Or that it's a real lollipop rom?

Ah ok I just finished watching the video, the guy said a lot of shareable things about planned obsolence and privacy!
Thanks for your opinion about the theme

What do you think about the ROM?

Well, it's a very nice rom but I find useless to fuse both the look of iOS and LineageOS on a CyanogenMod rom, it would be better If he just made a pure iOS or LineageOS looklike rom.
I like the fact that he didn't install GApps and the full Facebook app, I won't include them too in my rom too! (I'll try to do it without losing features)
My rom should also be faster than this one, or at the least I hope so
@Mich-C haven't you shared your ROM eventually? I'd be interested too.
Hi @Erpinoob
I'm sorry for making you and other users wait, the reasons are
1)I'm busy for the university
2)Recently I got a boot-loop I'm going to fix
3)I don't want to release 99999 versions of the rom
4)I'm including several "old" tools for android 2.3, often links are not working and so I'm still waiting for developers to provide me new links
4)I'm learning how to develop apps in Android Studio at the university, and I'm taking advantage of this creating 2-3 exclusive apps for my rom
I hope to finish the rom after christmas holidays, anyway I'll tag in the post all those who left a comment in this thread
Greetings
