I've got CM7 pretty well set up the way I like it but the only thing that bugs me is the actual phone app, I don't like the rotary accept/decline (prefer the sense swipe action) and the contact icons are pretty ugly no matter what I try. Can you replace the actual phone, not just the dialer, or at least theme it to be a little less ugly?
You can actually do both I recommend trying diff cm7 rims and finding the phone apk you like and replacing it on the rom you use

i was wondering now with numerous galaxy s phones out if its possible to get a galaxy s rom? I know their are themes such as this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769840
and you can always install the touchwiz launcher, but id love the galaxy s rom for things such as the drop down bar with all the toggles, the look (the theme does a decent job covering that)
and a fully working bottom dock, that rip sometimes doesnt work perfectly.
idk if its possible or if it ever will be?
also (I havent tried it yet, looking for a epic 4g dump, but is it possible to install the galaxy s camera apk on an evo?)
The TouchWiz UI is what you're looking for but I don't think the widgets or notification bar have been ported yet.
well is the touchwiz UI the apk file?
because the key things im looking for are of course the look (like the theme) but the main functionalities im wanting are the notification bar, bottom dock bar and camera rip if it can support the 8mp cam

The touchwiz apk will give you the bottom bar.
Nothing has the notification toggles yet, but I know someone on team douche is planning to implement it.
Camera will probably be too different, and at best we might see a theme.

camera apk would be fantastic...and the lock screen too...serious improvment over evo there
Camera would be nice itll be more than just an apk I'm sure...
Touch wiz is pretty ugly imo..

+1 I have both phones and compared side by side Sense is much nicer imo
comparing both side by side touch wiz comes out a loser to sense.
However, the task bar drop down with 4 radio control buttons is something I anxiously await!
Sense and Touchwiz are a no no... Launcher Pro is where its at IMO. I immediately installed LP on my buddy's Epic and he couldn't be happier.
I'm just pissed the super amoled does 16MILLION colors and we only get 65,000. Boo. Did i mention it also requires no power for black color? damn battery life, got me again.
What i want from the Epic? I want the ability to change the brightness by dragging left/right at the top of the screen by the notifications bar. BOOM, that would be clutch!
I dont like the look of the icons, reminds me too much of the iphone which i hated. is there a theme or icon change to make it look different or like a sense look icon?
NEVERMIND!!!!! i didnt know they had theme downloaded. but they are some crappy themes no offense!!!!!! but better than a iphone look.
Check out elite HD 2.5. Its sick, best theme I've tried out of the dozen or so I downloaded.

well i would but im going back to a sense rom fast. i cant even find any apps at all except for whats on the home screen and sides. i can get to widgets. but i cant pull open a list of my apps. so for that not being easy i hate the MIUI other than that its a decent rom
Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to change the lockscreen to something like htc's theme : sense - slate
and I'd also like to change my answer screen to the same style
drag down the slider to answer, or up to decline
I'm using litening rom 1.4 and I avoided the market lockscreens, I feel like they don't integrate that well with the system.
thanks
Try widgetlocker.hI
WidgetLocker worked perfectly for me. Big THANKS! Even let me remove the default lockscreen completely. As result it runs actively all the time so that it can activate the widget locker when needed but it has barely made use of the battery which is good.
The only issue I've seen is a slight flicker when unlocking (hardware key) the phone where you see a frame or two of the screen for a split second after which the lockscreen comes up but this issue has also been on and off.
Definitely recommend it.

Please move if I posted in wrong section. Was unsure where to request some help.
Background: rooted since feb, have had my share of experience with flashing, odin and rerooting, also some minor bricks needing a battery pull. Im also deaf, and I use my phone for everything but music and calls. Still need phone to use with hamilton app if emergency. Main big one, my vision isnt perfect.
I plan to start from scratch. Odic back to stock, reroot, flash it ei22. I have my eyes set for the mostlystock rom by xbtx unless just flashing themes and mods would work better for what im after? Keep reading to find out what. The less clutter the better. And ill delete whatever I may not need. Like the voodoo sound apk or voice record and dialer. I will use titanium backup to restore my apps.
I can just delete anything related to sound or voice controls but im having a hard time when it comes to font size and resolution. I have font an app to change resolution size along with other apps to change just font size. Yeah ok they work but not exactly clearly. When I tried it with roms it seems like the rom is set to a spacific size so when I try to enlarge font or resolution, certain menues dont configure correctly. The text would be half hiding under the icon above it for that menu or id personaly love to be able to make the app drawer 3x4 so the names of the apps or folders are on one line and not cut in half and shown on two lines.
It also helps when when all the menus are black with white text, same for the signal bar. White bars not blue. Blue is hard to see. I think I seen mods for this but if anyone can revamend the rom and maybe create a theme/mod I can flash to correct these problems. Please let me know.
Im sure im not the only person who has bad eyes. I just wish I could enlarge things or have a better app or menu to really customize font size. I dont care for fancy font. I prefer arial bold if I had a choice lol or the stock font just bold. Anyone up to help me out? Thanks so much!
Ok
So if i read that correctly "
You want a mod or something to make something bigger?
What exactly do u want to make bigger?
yeah the font. there are apps out there that do this but the main problem comes with the app drawer labels or when in actual apps that has a menu that comes up from the bottom of screen.
spare parts doesnt save the enlarged app size. is it possible to make a type of menu baked into a theme that changes font size? and a 3x4 app drawer option?
ok as i think about this. basically its a theme and has these spacific things baked into it.
--3x4, 3x5 app drawer option
--change font size 12-20pt (i use 16-18 but know others who would prefer bigger or if my eyes get blurry id like the option)
--black background white text for ALL menus
--circle battery mod (green is easier to see then the blue)
--keep signal strength bars white
--the brighter green ive seen used can be the secondary color for the other various things, like wifi, 4g, or bluetooth is activated. or as something downloads. whatever
i use golauncher bc i like the folder setup. so no need to add a launcher. is this possible? anything else i may need to make more clear or change?
i appreciate any help! i wish i knew how to do what you devs and themers do! im a graphic designer so thats as close as i get to creating things
Bigger density? That would appear to make everything bigger.

Changing denstiy will make everything bigger but I do not know how to do this... I am sure there is a thread somewhere on here about doing that just search how to increase density and I'm sure you will find something
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
An app from the market called lcd resolution does this. But when u change the density, it makes EVERYTHING huge and then ur screen gets very smushed and u can't view as much at one time. I use this but only increase the density a tad. Then I use another app for font. Looking around ill just find the black menu theme I'm after. I've seen it somewhere. I flashed the cleangb rom and so far its got what I was after.
Is it possible to make a 3x4 and 3x5 app drawer tweak? Id like 3 colums to beable to read the app/folder title on one line. Thanks for ur guys feedback!

Which font to you want to make larger?
If the font was white wouldn't that work. I think if you make the font larger it would not work in some of the menus. If you still want this done p.m. me.
My wife's sgs2 nav bar died. So I flashed slimbean which has a softkey nav bar capability and that rom kicks ass. Problem is that its her phone and she misses touchwiz. Specifically the calendar. So is the anyone out there that can point me to a rom with touchwiz and softkey nav bar, or even better, guide me to a thread that helps me install softkey nav in the Jedi mind trick ROM? Please help guys.

Thanks man, but those are a no go. Tried the first one and its just a pain (it does work in a pinch, just not suitable for daily use). The second one doesn't install nav softkeys, it just allows you to change their properties if the phone already has nav softkeys, which slimbean already has that customization ability baked in.
oo ok scratch that an maybe try this but not promissed but staying on slim but giving her the Touch wiz 5 launcher that way she can still use the stocky look but still have the navbar maybe ???? if not i hate to say it here but you can try out JellyBam on goo.im and in there settings you can download the TW launcher for her or even paranoid since they have the most customization out there and or stable jelly milestone 6 was the stable and true just a thought to try and help
Use whatever rom you like, with the navigation bars you want. Then pay a couple bucks for pure grid calendar widget. Its pretty much the same as the touchwiz Calender widget....plus themes for it.

I would open the phone and see if the ribbon did not pop out. Replacing is expensive( not the keypad, but the screen) as you have to get the screen out and good chance for damaging. Keypad is cheap.
Thanks for the replies. I have actually taken the phone apart and the ribbon cable was in place. Not really interested in a widget either, but it is a nice widget. I did however find this:
