In fact I've applied a few themes that use vrtheme architecture from i9300 and it works on i9305.

Doesnt' hurt to try. make sure you have a nandroid backup, so that you can restore it if it fails
+1 note: check the file in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and make sure it mounts the proper partitions when it installs the theme (i.e. not using mmcblk#p#).

Thats what youll have to explain to me.... i what partitions should it be installing too?
If it uses busybox to mount system or it uses mmcblk0p13 , then it should be fine.
By the way I've flecked his script. Its safe to experiment with it.

Yes, that's what they do for JB to make it fit... but the parameters are baked into CWM, so I'm not sure how to do it manually.

[Q] Miscellaneous Questions Please Help!!

Hello Everybody on XDA,
I'm New here and new to android So if you please try to educate me
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III I9305
I have some Questions:
1) If I Flash a Ported Apps like For Example (Note 3 Launcher, GS4 Video Player, GS4 Camera...etc) ... Will it replace/wipe my Original Video Player Or Launcher etc....?
2) Will Ported Apps Work on If i install/flash/push them in normal root without having to flash a custom ROM? (I mean Original GS3 Touchwiz)
3) Please Provide a way to INCREASE Home Screen Page Number instead of 7 (the place where you put widgets) Without using Other launchers like Nova, Apex..etc
4) Please Provide a way for changing UI Sounds and a collection to download If Available ^^
5) Please provide a way to make my folders look organized every app creates a folder and it looks messy
6) Can I Make more apps compatible with multi window in touchwiz?? If not, is there a same app like multi window ??
Thank you and i'm looking forward for your Help!! )
If you flash something that has the same name as something that already exists, it will be replaced. It's best to have a de-odexed rom.

Correct it will not replace the original if it doesn't have the same name. However, neither will work so it MUST have the same name.

[Q] Two Android folders in Storage?

I'm running CM11 M9 on my Galaxy S3 and I was clearing up my storage when I noticed I had two Android files, with a data file in each? Does anyone know why that's happening? You can see what I mean here: http://imgur.com/LbcxTxo
