Let me just explain before you guys start hating on me... I recently gave my mother my g note bc she like the screen size.. however Android Oscar seems a little difficult for her and I know ios is easy. So..Is there anyway I can get an iPhone theme for the note? For any easy theme for her?

An iphone theme won't make it operate like an iphone. It will only make the homepage and some graphics look like an iphone. If she wants an iphone then get her an iphone.
Or does anyone know a Rom that is simple like the iPhone?

What does she use the phone for?
With most launchers (I use Apex) you can hide many things. You can lock the desktop so she only has the homescreen with just the essential apps/icons on it.
Just like what rangercaptain said. You can get all different kind of launchers like apex, nova, golauncher etc and download the iphone theme and make the note looks like iphone. Put all the apps she will use on the desktop, take out all the widgets and lock it. There you go. Problem solved.
what about Miui, ROM? I know there is not a lot of support in the thread for MiUi, but it has the look, ??
there is an iphone like theme for miui, the thread links are in my signature, you can access the super GNote page via my sig picture.

That's JoyOS, don't know if that specific port is the one for your phone though. (I'm on Tapatalk, so I'm not getting the reverse directory links indicating device or carriers.)
Sounds like it might be the closest thing to what you're asking for on an Android device until someone manages an iOS port like OSX86...

Try Espier Launcher in the play store. It's a replacement launcher that replicates the look of iOS homescreens.

So... any of you guys tried this? I haven't been running it today, no need at this point with MikShift, but if/when I go back to AOSP-based roms, it will definitely be my launcher of choice, especially if they continue to develop and include matching widgets for each Launcher interface.
Thought I'd put the word out, it's quite a nifty home replacement. Find it on XDA or Market.

Yeah, seemed really boring. Just different docks, right? I think that's supposed to be part of the appeal but it wasn't for me.

If they do decide to include widgets to match the different docks, (sense, blur, touchwiz styled) then it'll be amazing.

Yes, it would. But, since its open source anyone can build and modify it to release with their roms.
If someone wantexd to do that and include widgets, I don't see the harm.

Alright I realize that 3.0 is made for tablets so I am not asking for a port or anything, but I was wondering if anyone has made a theme resembling it or if there is a rom that looks like it? I was checking out some videos of honeycomb and it looks really cool. And before posting this I did use the search feature and I didnt find anything..and I was a little confused by some thread titles lol
If you are running CyanogenMod Rom then you can use the honeycomb theme.
Well thres also simply galaxy 3.0 which is gingerbread witg a honeycomb thene... its a bit unstable but utherwise its pretty damn amazing

No prob. Just go to the market and search for the FREE "Honeycomb ADW Theme" by GFX Android. Out of all the themes that cost money, this one is ABSOLUTELY FREE and definitely the best. Wait till you see the mother load of icons it comes with along with the search bar you are asking for. And, you can always get as creative as you want with a little patience and Root Explorer, lol!

Just want to get a view of interest if this theme would be wanted by anyone. I loved it and built it right before the 3.5 craze.
Like stated in rader3bravos thread sense stuff cant be themed, but if your using an alt launcher it would work.
Please vote, and if you want reply with what rom you would like to see it on.

Ya bud, port it over. The more themes for this phone, the better. I could always use some help with finding new framework, so by all means, port away.
Thats a very nice theme you got there .
Looks amazing I like it simple

yup its nice, but i wish someone would make a rom and theme which make the phone really stand out tech wise. Would love things like the snapshot picture or video which shows on cover of album for pics or vids, or even ont he widget on desktop to actually play life preview as the snapshot your hovering over, or make everything all techy and extremely futuristic if you know what i mean

Meaning new png's from Sense 3.0. There are at least 50 +, png's that need to be resized. There's also entirely new png's I've never themed before. It's going to take some time to get it fully themed.

I would love to have it! I'm using ADW, but have used LP with other phones. I'm running the Senseless Rom from ScottsRoms.com and my rezound is running much more smoothly and quickly without Sense.
im looking for a launcher thats not like any others?
Examples
Launcher 7 = nice
SSLauncher = good
Sweeter Home = seems good but theres no tutorial how to customise it!!!!
i just want a nice launcher thats not like all the others
Edit: One page launchers like launcher 7 is great if there is any other launchers like this.... and launchers without an app drawer i really like such as the iphone launcher or SSLauncher.... if there are any smiler things that would be very great

Actually it's amazing. I thought it would destroy available RAM and cause slowdowns because its so feature/animation rich but not at all. It's homescreen transitions are smoother than any other launcher I've tried...except Launcher Pro but that was back inthe GB days (and for a while I've been in love with Apex and Nova).
When it first came out, yeah it sucked because it didn't have much. Nowadays, TSF shell is beast. I'm the type of guy who immediately has buyers remorse for anything that's frivolous and only for me...and it's been over a week with TSF and I'm still in love.
Once you fully customize it and have all the settings perfect...you might get punched in the face for annoying people since all you want to do is show them how cool your device is (I don't like tooting my own horn or showing off devices and yet I've done it multiple times after getting TSF)
Anyways, I'm not telling anyone this is the best for everyone...but had to throw in my 2 cents so TSF gets a fair rep.
I agree and the its terrible comment makes me wonder if he tried it for more than 30 seconds.

care to share a google play link? I can't find it
Simple Home is decent (though it doesn't support widgets).
I use Nemus Launcher just because of it's speed.
If you have a higher end device I'd say give SPB Shell 3D a go, it has some pretty sweet widgets
And if you have a tablet, Chameleon Launcher has some pretty cool features.
Maybe mihome launcher its like an iphone launcher

I loved this launcher but until they add the feature for you to customize the category names and move apps its not what im looking for
Just installed this launcher a few hours ago and I'm already convinced it's the best launcher available and I've tried them all. Just wondering what other's thoughts were on it. If you like trying new launchers definitely give this one a try.
Added a screenshot** This launcher has a feature that allows you to download, apply, and customize hundreds of different homescreens from other users as well as upload your own homescreen. I just spent a good 2 hours browsing through a bunch of the different homescreens without even realizing it. It's sort of addicting.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
checking it out. I saw the video and I hope applying themes is as easy as I want it to be.
---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------
I do have to say it's pretty innovative. Sure cuts down the time it takes to piece together themes you see online. Grant it, you still have customization but its pretty minimal. It's something that I'd use on my nexus 7 or 10 tablets.
It's pretty straight forward as far as downloading and applying the homescreens. If ur missing a widget or app that a particular homescreen requires, it notifies you and essentially downloads and applies the widget for u and even sizes it and configures it for u as well. I'm super impressed with it

Yeah if uv ever been to a site like mycolorscreen.com and tried to replicate those awesome homescreens u know what a time consuming process that can be. I'm seeing most of the homescreens from that site available for download in buzz launcher. All u gotta do is download and apply. Not sure how anyone can go back to a nova or apex after trying this one.
