Im pretty new to all this but I keep seeing all these custom themes. I just now downloaded launcher pro and im at the basic starting point. where do you I go to get all the custom widgets and especially the custom docs??
If you go to launcherpro.com they have a forum that has tons of docs you can look in there. Try reading through the post your screen sticky and there are lots of cool customizations that people post links too!

Hello everyone.. I was just looking for some info on customizing my rom or maybe getting a new rom i am running myns two point two and I LOVE IT... it runs great but i would like to customize it just looking for walk through info links and just some info.. Thanks for helping out a noob..
Well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471 is a good place to start. he has some mods in the post that you can flash for the desired effect. Also in themes and apps, they do custom rosies and things like that.

This isn't a best ROM thread so please don't close it.
What I am looking for is recommendations of ROMs to try that meet certain criteria.
That's different from best ROM right? I couldn't find a good feature comparison matrix to get this info. I just want a list of ROMs to try out
I want a ROM with the following:
Based On 4.3
Skinned/Themed e.g. Custom wallpaper/homescreen setup, maybe custom icon set etc
Best of breed applications
Another way of describing what I am looking for is that when I look at friends with Samsung Galaxy S4 or LG G2 the feel of android on their phones is very different.
Their homescreens are well setup and the cameras have extra features and the galleries look fancy etc.
Mod Edit
I know I could probably get this by searching out all sorts of widgets and launchers and applications to just put on stock myself but I would like to see if there is a ROM that has already done it.
So far I have only tried PAC-Man ROM and was a bit disappointed with it.

Are there ROMs that get close to what I am looking for?
Try CM10TOUCHWIZ for the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. You can flash it to whichever galaxy nexus by using Zittoro's script. It should be here under general discussion.
Touchwiz is Samsung's skin.
Mod Edit
Keep reading through the first pages of the ROMS listed in the dev section.
If it's there,then ,you will see it.
If not, start looking in the Play store for ways to personalize it.

Helllooo all!
I've been in the community long enough and I wanted to eventually push a ROM out on XDA, but before I do that, i wanted to learn from some of the experts as to how i can do certain things on AOSP ROMs for customization. Like ie. Adding additional tabs/menus to the Settings, Clock/battery mod,etc.
I'm no noob to Android and dev, but im a noob to customizing stock as its a bit different than roms with overlays such as TouchWiz or Sense,etc.
If someone could shine some light on me, that'd be great! thanks!
I would suppose they add extra features, but nowhere in which they are mentioned do features seem to be mentioned as well. Consequently, I'm left very much confused. What sorts of things do custom ROMs add, specifically, and perhaps in more general terms, what are they?
(Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I wasn't quite sure where to post.)

The rom I'm on (MOAR) allows me to customize a lot of things that I couldn't change on a stock phone (notification panel, status bar, colors, battery style, etc). Some roms have themes that can be used to customize. Some roms don't allow for a lot of customization, but offer a debloated stock experience (with a lot of samsung/sprint bloat ware removed. Roms offer customized kernels.
My rom allows me to customize to my heart's content, and at the same time is built to make my phone run better.
Hope this helps...

If you browse the XDA threads you will see there are a lot of benefits! One in particular is the hacked HOT SPOT!
I'm sure this looks like I'm asking to be spoonfed (I'm really just having trouble sorting through the overwhelming chaos of this forum), but could someone(s) post a recommendation(s) with a list of features and a link to a thread with install instructions?

All ROMS under original Android development section or android development section have full instructions to install. You must read carefully, instructions vary from ROM to ROM. There is a big difference between AOSP and TW based ROMs. If your not ready for the issues that may arise from running AOSP, I suggest modified TW ROMs. Most TW based ROMs are in Android development section. Any ROM that says 4.4 or above in either section is AOSP, because there is no official KitKat Samsung ROM yet.

And the OP (original or first post) should show almost all the mods...
