White settings and other stuff on Stock KK ROM - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, have seen a ROM for Nexus 5 i.e "Pure white"
would like to know if porting the settings.apk is possible?
love the white UI of that ROM
I know as we're having an Amoled display it'll eat battery but still it could be a good thing to look different then all other Black or HOLO UI

Best Themeable ROM

What is the best ROM for themeing? I don't really enjoy Sense and want an as close to stock ROM for the 3D. Any ideas of which one to look into?

i don't know what you mean by stock but if you mean a world without sense
CyanogenMod 7 is your best choice it also has a built in theme chooser so you can make a theme that stays persistent even as the rom gets updated
Also, if you're looking for something that is stock with ICS, Miui looks pretty badass with their ICS theme and launcher pro. That's what I'm on now and have been loving it so far.

The main reason I ask is I did a theme using UOT Kitchen and wanna check it out, I'm currently on Warm TwoPointThree and don't think it will flash completely with all the Sense nonsense going on
MIUI is by far the most themed IMO...there are hundreds of ready made themes and the built in theme manager allows you to mix and match lock screen type with icons with drawer type, font etc....

There are tons of options for MIUI

White CM9

Hi! Can anyone make CM9 white? Design of anroid is very good now. Minimal. But too dark for me.
I know that themes are turned off now, but...
It is dark because most modern smart phones have OLED screens that use considerably less power when displaying black than any other colour. The phone screen is the largest user of power.
If you want a light colored CM9, use MIUI
Cheers!

I agree. MIUI will provide a much lighter base them with additional theme options. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383721 this ROM has been great for me.

You can flash CM9 Reloaded on top of your CM9 ROM and it opens up a lot of options including the ability to theme (color wise anyway)

Also am attaching screenshots of how while would look for you. I'm on Photon CM9.
Yeah cm9 reloaded is great, allows you to theme the status bar and dropdown completely to your specification. The base rom itself remains unchanged, but aside from MIUI there's really not much theming options yet.
I think that blue-black hue cool ah!

Good AMOLED friendly CM10 Theme/JB ROM?

I'm looking for either a theme chooser theme(if those can theme apps as well like MMS) or ROM that is predominantly black in all apps and UI to save screen battery. Is there one like that for CM10 or another JB rom yet?

CM/AOSP Theme request - anyone able to help?

Hi, I'm currently using Project AOSP and really love the theme B&B Black&Blue Fusion, but does anyone know of a theme like this that can be used on an AOSP rom, like SlimBean? I love the icon design, as pictured in the attached image, but can't seem to find one similiar (black and blue mix, with big toggle icons with text).
Anyone able to help? I have seen Cobalt but didn't like the traslucent settings menu, or JellyBeanX, for example, but again can't find one more similiar to the one pictured.
Anyone any good black/blue themes to suggest?
I spent many hours on xda trying to find a theme like this for my stock rom.
finally I flashed Alliance Rom and I'm thrilled with it.
p.s. I know simplistic framework may do the job, but I just don't like it.

[Q] ROMs all look the same....

Although many ROM's have different features and add-on's, it seems like most have the same old theme... the ugly cyan blue writing on a black background in all of the menus and settings screens. Are there any ROM's that break from this same old theme?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing anyone or any ROM, I just don't like the dismal blue on black look.
Can anyone suggest a ROM that has a different feel?

go through the dev. section and you will see. Another option is to install a theme (from dev. section as well, there are a few, or Play Store).
and that's why we have the themes section. that's also why there are hundreds of CM themes on the play store.
PS Holo is beautiful

And blue is the worst colour for screen burn in
Yes, I find that every rom that comes out with 4.2 or 4.3 look the same. I don't see any difference so thats why it makes it hard to pick a rom because they look a like, but with different rom names. Is this really 4.3 or is it someones version how 4.3 would look like? I ask because of everyone's vision of how so called "key lime pie" supposed to look like and everyone was fooled into thinking this was the new name. Now, its out and its called "KitKat" and no one knows how its supposed to look like.
I like the AOSP or AOKP but at times it does get a bit boring. I do download themes but most of them aren't fully themed. I'm not a big fan of launchers so I just like the rom for what it is, not because of adding a launcher to make it look different.

The "same theme" is stock Android theme, developed by Google, which exists in stock Android phones (Nexus), and also all clean Android forks, f.e. AOSP (CM) or AOKP.
Personally I love cobalt theme -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt and I have little plans to implement it to my ArchiDroid in near future. You know, theme isn't really a problem, because it's a matter of taste. You have a GIANT list of themes working on CM for example, you just need to take a look at themes section.
I agree with you , i also liked it at first because it was new you know have to change to make it look nicer
so all u have to do is just search for themes over the Internet or here in
the Galaxy S III Themes and Apps
PS: they have really good ones .
**don't forget too to download icon packs because it's the real complete for the theme .
But believe me it will be tough to decide which ROM according to the theme of the ROM .
Cobalt is a nice theme. I've been using the "Simplicity" themes which is nice too. I like the flexibility of altering your phone with these themes. I hope that when the 4.3 comes out for us that it'll be different enough to keep on our phones. I just hope that samsung changes TW a bit maybe even making it flat. I hope that more themes get developed so I can play around with them. I like "Lunar, Flatron, and Gem" those are pretty cool.
