[Q][noob] advice on UI customization? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all.
I recently bought a Galaxy S2 and am in search for a custom ROM (or even a good App) that will allow me as much UI customization as possible..
For instance I want to be able to control which icons to hide on the status bar, which buttons (and in which order) appear in notification tray, how long the "long press" should be.. and other little tweaks like that.
Most of the stuff I'm looking for were part of the Cyanogen Mod 7 i used to have on my Nexus One. But I was unable to flash it on my Galaxy.
Suggestions?

GB roms something like JKay mods in the Themes section .
jje

could you link me to where I can get CM9 or said Guide please?..

[Q] Zeus Mod

I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, but i can't really find any information on it, so i hope someone can help me.
Zeus Mod is a feature in Synergy ROMs, which enables you to click on the carrier name in the notification dropdown menu, which then shows the extended quick options, and long pressing on the carrier name shows/hides the "recent apps" section.
1. Is this correct? Or is there more to this feature than what i've listed?
2. Is this only available for Synergy ROMs (or other ROMs where it is specifically made for) ?
2.1. (If the answer to number 2 is "no"), Could i get Zeus Mod on my stock HTC ROM (ofc got root, S-OFF etc) ?
- Moon
Can't anyone help me?
What device are you using?
Oh, i totally forgot that i wasn't on my own devices forum here on XDA, so didn't bother to add that.
My device is a HTC EVO 3D GSM.
I saw your post about Zeus Mod on GSM devices, but it's only usable on deoxed roms, and my stock rom is odex :/

Basic Customisation Questions

Hello to I9100 section,
first of all i'm not complete new in customise android smartphons, but in a few days i get my first i9100 and the section is really big and confusing so i want to ask some questions.
My previous smartphones were: i9003 and i9070.
At the i9100 i want to use a stock rom as far as possible, but i want to customise some things.
The things i want to change are:
- rooting with cwm
- 14 toggle mod
- extended power menu
- percentage battery
- custom boot animation
- crt mod
- maybe if possible with stock rom a battery bar
- some tweaks like center clock and other status bar notifications.
At my search in the section i found a lot of stuff (mostly from resurrection remix), my question:
Can i use this mods on a stock rooted sansung rom with 4.1.2?
I think things like percentage battery can be done by me using uot but most of the mods i have to install,
i'm a little but unsure if the work on "stock" rotted samsung rom.
Maybe someone can giv me some tips?
I dont want to use a custom rom again cause my experiences with them weren't always good unfortunatly :/

I agree. I understand your (OP) point about custom roms that 'don't always work', but if you install a rom based on official Samsung roms, it's almost the same as stock, but with some modifications. However, I would go for Neatrom, as its development is more active than Wanamlite, but that's up to yourself.

If you want stock ICS use Alliance Rom V4.1 or if you want stock JB use Neatrom lite V4
Neatromlite + http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999623
Almost all mods you mentioned are in AOI-X-TremeXD
Or may be you can have all these mods and more mods here: ALL IN ONE MOD by ICS_XD.:good:

[Q] Stock theme for custom rom

Hi, I am new to android world, i used apple before and was quite good at jailbreaking and stuff, but it has a lot less options than android. so i switched to samsung galaxy s3 gt- I9300
I rooted my phone, and made a clockworkmod recovery... i think its a backup.. and then i installed custom roms liquidsmooth, and paranoidandroid. both havinig base firmware as 4.1.2... But then again i switched back to Stock because i dint like the all black and blue stuff in all the custom roms, though i appreciate the options that have been added, its like having a feeling of me controlling my cell rather than the company who made it. but i dont really liked the blue wifi icon and battery icon and all the other radio buttons in blue... so
my question is
1. Can i have the custom rom i.e liquid smooth or any other with the UI as the stock one?
2. or is there a package or a theme that would change the layout of my custom rom to the stock layout ( by layout i mean all the colours and the stuff) but wont affect the options that developers have put in the custom roms.??
I would really appreciate your help.. and really sorry if i said something wrong. coz i am new to android. thnx alot in advance
Sorry, but wrong section mate! This is the correct section for ur device:

Yes if you change the relevant files .
2. or is there a package or a theme that would change the layout of my custom rom to the stock layout ( by layout i mean all the colours and the stuff) but wont affect the options that developers have put in the custom roms.??
Themes and apps is where you look .
You would be far better off reading the faqs and guides first
Its not new and its only relevant to you .

the answer to it is ... CM10.1!
That my friend is something called "stock android layout", HTC modifies the official Google layout and changes it to something called "Sense Ui", so there are not much ways to accomplish this, the only way I know is you either need cyanogen mod, 10/10.1, aokp/aosp, or any ROM which has the stock Google layout.
From my findings I'd suggest you wait for CyanogenMod 10.1, its on a good start.

Yep that's probably the best advice. Changes to the status bar are at a reasonably low level on the phone, so a new launcher etc won't change it at all. You need a rooted device and a custom ROM to achieve it. CyanogenMod 10.1 would be an ideal one as it is pretty much stock 4.2.2 and has the features you want! Obviously with the DX there isn't many AOKP roms at present but work is underway!
If you want to keep up with updates to Android and stay completely stock a Nexus device is the way to go!
Thanx Guys..
I will now wait for CM 10.1 ... Hope it cums asap
Cant wait..

[Q] 4.2.2 status bar for samsung 4.1.2

Can someone pls make a stock systemui with live tiles ... i don't know anything about compiling/decompiling etc... .. Can someone make it..on stock system ui.apk :fingers-crossed:.....i saw this in roms like trans-k and trans-win rom....The procedure is described in the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567736
P.S If possible make it systemui.apk of build number JZO54K.I8552XXANJ1
If it was possible, it would've been done already, sorry.
It was already done in roms like trans-k and transwin rom
That is merely an edit, notice how it does not behave like 4.2+ at all, most of the time i had to touch it two or three times to actually get to the tiles settings panel.
