Alright so I'm looking at flashing a new ROM, I'm currently using the ARHD latest, with the stock theme, however over the past few hours and after seeing it on the VillainRom kitchen, I'm really begninning to like the Galaxy S framework, I really want something that I can use this with, anyone got any ideas?
Try LeeDroid or CoreDroid, you wont regret it. Look for it on development page.. Cheers mate
Give cyanogenmod 7 a go. It gives you so much more options to play with and it not HTC's stock rom layout.

You cant use the galaxy framework on the DHD, unless someone ports it.

Dude, he probably meant 4.2.14.1 but I doubt that flashing a 4.2.14.1 theme on 4.2.14 will cause a problem.
Ok back on topic, Please use the search feature, it will keep the forum from being over crowded.
Hello,
First I wanna say that I'm a noob when it comes to this kinda stuff. I've managed to root my phone and flash a couple of ROMs but that's about it. I was thinking about trying LeeDroid or Revolution HD, but I don't like the Sense UI and have no idea how to get noSense. Some help would be much appreciated!

If you really want to stick Wii LD or ARHD then just flash the no-sense patch as shown in the Rom threads.
Otherwise, what Sergi said.

Hi all,
I flashed litening ROM 1.5 today because of all the cool features it has as it seems to be the easiest way to get them all working with KF2, but the one thing i'm not a big fan of is the themeing.
Please could someone direct me to a stock GSII theme (I searched the forum but couldnt find one) or a way of getting it back without losing the ROM.
Thanx
Aaron

Things like the CRT off screen, and the advanced power menu, and the fixed browser (basicly I decided it was easier to flash this then find all of these and intsll them seperately) and the fact that I could flash it without losing my apps

There are requirements every rom needs which are stated in the main post. If you download cm7 version you need cm7 hboot. Then you must decide if you want something built around newest official release or you want a port, a 2.1+3.0 hybrid etc.
But as you wrote in such fashion your first post, it seems you have some reading to do nevertheless as it seems you mix a rom and hboot. Sorry if I'm wrong.
Search before asking. If it's been asked before there is no need to ask again.

cheers matey i didnt mix them maybe i didnt explain to good, one of my probs lol
Try oxygen 2.2.1 which is fast, stable, fully functional, works with stock hboot and is running gb 2.3.5 - its what I'm using right now. Its not sense but its a great rom.
You wont find it on xda as the dev has started his own forum - search google for oxygen forum

Guys, cool it, there's no need to be hostile. XDA is all about helping others, and the Search function, as we all know, is far from perfect. It's not the most efficient way to get to the bottom of what msdl28712 was asking--which is user's feedback of different ROMs. Actually, this is the most efficient way of getting that info: by posting and letting users answer, then let the post sink into oblivion a few days afterwards. So you don't have to PMS over something so trivial.
As to which ROMs are fast, I find that Oxygen and InsertCoin are the fastest GingerBread ROMs. Oxygen is AOSP, built with minimal hacks, while InsertCoin has Sense 2.1 from HTC. They're both lean, as can be seen from the less than 60Mb-sized zip files (less half the size of other ROMs like LeeDroid or Stock ROoted GB). MIUI is pretty slim too, only 85Mb zipped, although that's because the English language pack is itself 25Mb. If you're Chinese, then MIUI is only 60Mb zipped, which makes it a lean, sexy ROM like Oxygen. Those 3 recommended ROMs I've used myself, and have had not one single bootloop (I always do full wipe before flashing, even if I'm flashing a newer version of the same ROM). I think those 3 are the cream of the crop.
I haven't tried your others yet, but that's because I've been so happy with InsertCoin.
I haven't had any issues at all and is nice and smooth. Also the tutorials on the Devs own site are really useful.
Hi all, my name is Mike and this my first post. I have recently rooted my S3 with Odin and CFA. I would like to choose a ROM and try out different themes, but don't really know where to start. Do you have to install a ROM to choose different themes? Sorry for the noob questions. Thanks in advance.
Hey there!

Welcome to XDA my friend!! Alright first off themes and ROMs are two completely different things. Themes are just skins you can swap in and out on your phone without changing any software. ROMs replace phone software with newer versions. If you would like to get a theme I suggest downloading this app called Themer by MyColorScreen. For ROMs you will need a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP. I am currently using CWM (ClockworkMod). Using the CWM recovery you can "flash" roms (basically installing them). I am currently running 4.4 QuantumROM by PwnCakes. It is beautiful!! If you would like to theme go with the Themer app but if you wanna go further than just reply here!!

If you want to start out with themes go to the Play Store and ckeck out Colbalt themes by dustinb. They come in many colors for cm 9 & 10. I also liked killer blue, has nice graphics. If you are going to flash roms use the CWM recovery. Not as pretty as TWP but TWP is not compatable with 4.4. Also i am currenty favor the PAC man rom. Nice, fast and stable. It is a 4.3 rom. I have tried a few 4.4 roms but a little unstable for a daily driver. Also.if you start with the PAC rom it is a hybrid and has several varieties built in and has tons of options to play with.
Thank you both for the help. I will probably just start out with different themes until I understand ROMs a little more. :good:
Rooted Need to get CWM
Hi everyone,
Complete Noob here. Just rooted my I747-M AFTER getting 4.3 OTA using Mr. Robinson's root method! Don't know what to do after this step.
How do I get CWM? Can I flash it through Odin?
Also is it possible for me to get CM 11? I really don't like the Samsung OS.
Thank you so much in advance,

Hey there, first off you are on 4.3 OTA. So if anything goes wrong you may not be able to revert back to stock, it comes down to your bootloaders. Also go on over and check out QuantumRom by PwnCakes. It is 4.4 and is just beautiful. To get CWM go to the play store and download the cwm recovery app.
Thanks for the Response

Hey,
Thanks for replying. So I can't get the Recovery App because it does not support my phone (AT&T). So I ended up using terminal and the .img file to get CWM onto my phone. So is it possible to get CM 10.2 then?
Will a release come out later allowing me to revert to stock? In the meantime can you walk me through CM?
Thanks so much from this hopeless noob.
First off, welcome to XDA. Like everyone else has said, Quantum is the way to go. For good themes, Mianogen and Gem Flat are my favorite. There's a free version of Mianogen and a paid, and for Gem Flat, it's $1.88, but well worth it. If you wanna give it a shot, custom icon packs are also really nice. Mianogen comes with its own icons, but hands down, Nox by Kovdev is the best with 1000s of really nice icons.

The app for CWM is called ROM Manager, for now, I don't know about the 4.3 update since I've been on Quantum for a few months. What would you like to know about CM? Its the easiest ROM to learn to use and is close to vanilla, while still being useful.

This post makes absolutely no sense. First you mention themes for a custom rom, which the op and question at hand obviously have no experience with. Secondly blindly stating that TWRP doesn't work with 4.4 is beyond ridiculous seeing as I just flashed Beanstalk 4.4 today just fine with TWRP 2.6.1.1. It is wonderful that you are trying to help someone with a problem or question, but i makes me sick when people casually throw out advice without any regard to the issue at hand or the ramifications of their words.

I Somewhat agree, IIRC, TWRP became compatible with 4.4 about a week or so after 4.4's release, right? As choosing one or the other, I've never even tried TWRP, but I've never had any issues with CWM, so I'm happy. And as for the ROM, I think the simpler it is, the easier it is to get used to. Sometimes having hundreds of customizations can be a bit overwhelming.

Personally i was using CWM recovery when it was the only option besides stock, and it always did a fine job at what it was intended to do. In the last year or so i started using TWRP solely for the purpose of its free touch based UI. Yes you can find CWM touch on the net for free, but they are asking for payment for it so i opted out. Both work great at what they do, and although one or the other may lag a bit from time to time keeping up with changes in the android world, as fast as things move these hiccups are to be expected.
