Updated version (no notch) Looks great on S4
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...er-borderlightv2-amoled-t3851383#post77818352
Another user release
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../live-wallpaper-borderlightv2-amoled-t3851383
While it looks really cool, it's not really optimized for S4. Corners especially. It would be great if someone could make a Tab S4 equivalent to that. With and without notch thing as I kind of like it being there around the clock but it won't be everyones favourite feature.
Thanks for sharing even though I've installed it prior to seeing your post.
Also, have a look at the live wallpaper I've posted in this section.
And here's screenshot of op wallpaper with unmatched corners to Tab S4 display, uneven thickness and interference with status bar icons. Shame as I'm really digging it.

Wait... developer is working on a no notch version and many other options... this is the first release...
Yeah I hope we get a versions optimized for Tab S4 and other devices. I will definitely keep an eye on it.
Also, it bothers me in its current state but some may still like and enjoy it as it is.
Search for "Shiney" live wallpaper. It Is the same black background with rainbow outline, but it adds radius and thickness adjustments without a notch.
Yeah, I have that one on my Op6..I like it and will try to reach out to the guy who built this one ...

Like to customize your Atrix on the daily? Looking for some nice icons that look crisp and clean without being small like the stock icons? Lets devote this thread to some awesome icon finds that work well with the atrix. I've seen some larger icons, but the quality never turns out very well with the resolution of this screen. As soon as I find some nice icons I'll put them up...Until then...POST!

Hello everyone
I was almost sure that a thread like this would exist already, but after doing some searches, i did not find any.
Regarding the visual elements (not the transitions, those are fine) of the newly released official Jellybean ROM for the Xperia P, is there anyone else around here who thinks that the ICS graphics (for apps like settings, messaging, browser) looked MUCH better than the ones they used for the new update? I mean, ICS had beautiful transparent borders, JB has embossed matte grey borders. A lot of icons look like they were drawn in a hurry and poorly rendered (check the toggle switches, the I and O's are not even properly centered as they were in ICS), and that quick toggle widget ! It looks absolutely terrible. In ICS it was a big transparent block with simple buttons on it. Now it looks like it was drawn by a 12 year old who found out that photoshop can apply effects to layers.
In the last 2 years or such, UI designers have started simplifying the graphics, making them look very nice. That was the case with ICS on the xperia P, it looked gorgeous. This thing looks like crap. It looks like a 3rd party theme you would download in 2004 on your sony ericsson K310i.
"But there is more than one theme that comes with the new ROM!". Yes, but they all have the same flaws. After all, only the color scheme differs. The graphical elements are the same.
Does anyone share my opinion?
If yes, then the more important question is : Since the themes that come preinstalled can be found in the Apps section (4.0KB being the minimum storage space one file can occupy, i am not sure if they contain anything at all in that "application"), is there any possibility that devs here could port the old themes to this ROM? This might be a stupid question, in which case, you are free to reply with the noob-on-xda youtube video.
Yeah !!
another one complain, tthat all is your Opinion be happy that Sony give us JB
all look waaaaay better now then ICS, but think that Sony is not Unicef they have also ther work todo.
P.s. here you go xD
k..sense 6 themes really suck. I hate to say it but keeping it REAL.
Sense <5.5 had a really DEEP black background that was like digital octopus ink.. I LOVED it.
What do we do about these crappy themes? I want my TMO ONE to look like it used to..
Custom Photo wallpaper does absolutely nothing for theme color modification.
and on a side note..the scrolling touch response is now borderline sketchy...enough already with the super hyper screen sensitivity.
radio performance thus far has been excellent.... A+:good:
Odd to be replying to my own post but as a follow up after installing the elemental x kernel the scrolling smoothness is now perfect like before the update..the improvements are perfect now..

HTC sense 6 themes wallpapers truly sucks. I specificity goggled: ,,HTC sense 6 themes wallpapers sucks ,,........
Green and deep purple! What a fukkk...I tried really hard to play around but my phone UI looks much uglier now then before. I can't believe HTC did it.....
did you try swapping to the black theme? makes all highlighted app colors black.
also, if you have root, you can install Sense 6 toolbox (from Xposed framework) and customize each app color.

I have to admit the themes for HTC sense 6 are horrible!!!!!, WTF htc?? and no way to customize unless I possibly root my phone, which scars me, I afraid something will screw up making my phone unusable. Htc should have put an easy way for users to customize the colors!!!! Even Microsoft gives the users the ability to customize windows!!! I should not have to root my phone to get a better color theme!!!! I love HTC but this is one thing that really frustrates me. Not everyone likes the same colors, giving only 4 choices is ridiculous, event the dark theme is not truly dark it uses and ugly green in some places(like the setting screen). COME ON htc give the use some native control over the UI!!!
Hello there!
Please, can anyone tell me if it is possible to change to look of my S5 device, to look like an S4 on KitKat?
My first Andorid phone was the Galaxy S3 because I was in love with TouchWiz. I dislike the way stock Android looks.
I was not a Samsung fan, previously I had a Samsung Omnia because I liked the design and being a Microsoft fan, I bought it, but never liked TouchWiz there... I imediately disabled it and left the default Windows Mobile look. When Microsoft went to Windows Phone 7 and so, I've cosidered going to Andorid. I don't like Apple because all icons follows the same square rounded pattern. I like the icons to be different like on Microsoft Windows, so not all icons to be in a circle or square, or other geometric form.
When I bought the S5 I was a little dissapointed because the TouchWiz was changing into bad lookings but with Lollipop... awwwww!
I dislike the new Contacts App with those small circles for pictures... Sincerelly I love my wife S4 i9506. I've decided not to upgrade her to Lollipop, to make her phone uglly like mine.
So, is there a possiblility to run a version of Lollipop or KitKat on S5 while having a look of an S4? Even if the menu and home keys will behave like they normaly do on S5.
Thank you!
Mods and cyanogen while using themes. There is not other way
Bad taste
A taste is a taste. Well, if it happens that you like Sotck Android, then, you may have a "bad taste" Come on! Every people I talked with, having a Galaxy S5, don't like the way Lollipop looks at all.

Are you more familiar or wanted to have Apple products? I dislike Lollopop becuase black used to look better on amoled displays. Other things that I'm not likeing on Lollipop are those bright colors, the white baground when opening calls, having no button delimiters on phonedialer and the most anyoing one for me... the Contacts app which have those small circled pictures. Oh... let's say being clircles, let's say ok, even if I still don't like the ideea, but they are too small on Samsung firmware. They are a little bigger on let's say LG G3s.
Anyway, no matter what you say... S4 on KitKat looks A LOT BETTER than the Lollipop UGLYNESS!
I'm on Lollipop from January but I cannot accept its stupid GUI. Well, I'm a graphic designer, I know that these days we've embraced this flat, simple ugly things that Microsoft started with Windows 8 and Google and others followed their stupidity with "Material Design"
Are you comfortable in your own skin? Is your phone comfortable in its skin? Rate this thread to express how you deem the skin on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it adds just the right amount of features, it's visually pleasing, and overall it's additive to the experience. If this is a Nexus phone (you didn't think we hand-wrote all of these prompts, did you?) then use this rating to indicate how the latest version of Android looks to you.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Icons are a bit boring, side panels need more work and you cannot create your own themes.
I'm a Nova user but so far I'm on board for TouchWiz. I applied some basic themes (Vanilla, Android 6.0) and those assuaged any issues I had with the skin/icons. I also realized you still keep Samsung Pay and Edge panels even using another launcher so for me that's another nod to TW/Samsung for not hiding killer features while using another launcher. The Settings UI is much better and easier to digest. All the gimmicky "s" modes are gone or buried away from the Quick Settings. So I could roll either way. Overall I'd give this high marks knowing if I get bored I can always go back Nova.
Tolerable after disabling bloat.
touchwiz is better, but still not as good as nova. putting nova prime on it, and a new darker theme, this thing is slick. i love it. but i absolutely HATE the new, so called security feature, that makes you put in your password after a reboot, instead of just allowing you to use fingerprints. i mean, that's why we setup fingerprints, and i'm yet to understand how typing in your password in front of strangers is more secure than just using your fingerprint?
ive never disliked tw and don't understand why prefer opted for vanilla android, i mean N is only now bringing features that samsung phones have had for literally, years.
design is mediocre
not much change from samsung n8010 ui
as soon as root possible without losing any abilities/priviledges including google pay, samsung pay & my knox
Its a lil boring but better than ios. Looking forward to N.
The only bad thing with this year's Samsung skin is that we will recieve android 7 later. But we already have android n features like split screen view,clear all...touchwiz is full of features and that's why i like it. I don't care if i will have a 5k boost in score on antutu if i only have my phone to call and message people. Touchwiz is awesome.
Again,the only bad thing is that the devs need a lot of time to skin newer versions of android
I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, but the emojis for the S7E are IMO hideous (not stock Android) and impossible to change without rooting and voiding your warranty.
I can't link to them, but you can easily find them yourself and see if they fit your style.
I use Nova Prime and bought a custom TW theme from the theme store to give me the look I want in SystemUI, Phone, Messages, and such. I use a Cobalt Icon set, and custom wallpapers. It's very tolerable with this setup.

That's an Android thing now not a Samsung or TW thing. It does that on both my S7E and Nexus 6P.

My post was back in March, I bought a Note 7 but after the recall I am now back with the S7 Edge and it's much better now, especially with theming
.
The camera features are very difficult to access, thanks to the tiny buttons which fail to register everytime unless you are a sharp 'shooter' with your thumb. I wish they increase the size of in-camera buttons such as that of Large Eyes, Manual Focus arrows, etc. What do you all think of this?
