Hey guys I just rooted my galaxy nexus with the stock rom. I am wondering what I can do now, and specifically how I can begin theming my gn with custom icons and stuff. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? I'm very new at this.
Start with jrummys "rom toolbox" you can easily change fonts, icons like battery, WiFi and stuff. Then to customize it a bit more head over to rootzwiki and get some boot animations designed for the nexus. I'd start there nice and easy so you don't screw anything up.

Thanks for your help. I seem to have a good direction to follow now.
You can't modify your ROM's looks without using a deodexed version of the ROM.
Look around the dev forums and browse for what you'd like to be using.
There are also exceptional themes for specific ROMs.
Best tip is just to browse the forums and look
any suggestions? I would like to have as few bugs as possible.
Personally I am a big fan of AOKP as there are a lot of themes available for it, constant development, and great controls built into the settings menu. That's not mentioning the exceptional battery life I get.
I am now running this on my gnex and gtab
I work download cache apps...it will ckear cache through the systems...

also make a nanbackup before making changes to themes and installing roms.

Just flashed cm10 and loving it but missing a couple of apps that were on the stock Rom
Anyone have the apk for these apps or know where I can get them?
- rotating live wallpaper (where you can select your own photos)
- smart alarm with gradual wake-up
- battery percentage apk
I really miss those apps but otherwise love cm 10
Thanks!

I believe that most, if not all, Samsung Touchwiz apps have a different framework than that of AOSP so they're not compatible on AOKP/CM10 (other way around still works, you can use AOSP apps on any Sammy ROM). There are most likely similar apps to the ones you're currently searching on the Play Store.
They are Touchwiz specific apps made by Samsung.. not just missing from cm 10.. they wont work without TW.. there are some ROMs on here that blend aokp look/feel with TW, try one of those. On a side note, this is really a Q&A thread, Apps/themes section is for posting actual apps and themes.. not just asking about them. I know our forum is blended and not like that but it is supposwd to be.

First, I take no responsibility for the creation or management of this mod. All credit goes to madphone and his various helpers/testers. I just wanted to point some of you in the right direction should you want to try this mod out.
Secondly, I don't have much experience with the SPH-D710. My girlfriend has a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II that I recently rooted and loaded [JB:CM10:HYBRD][E4GT] PARANOIDANDROID [2.16, True HybridMode][09/29/12] onto. She asked about the TW overlay I have running on my Galaxy Nexus and I thought to give it a try on her S2 (being that PA is based off same source). It loaded quite nicely and she feels more 'At Home' with it.
As always, please make a nandroid backup before flashing this mod as it doesn't appear that it was originally intended for this device. I would assume support for your phone will be quite limited, if there's any at all.
Without further ado, you can find madphone's mod here:
S3 TouchWiz Jelly Bean Addon (Update 1.3.3) (Launcher Update LIB)
**Edit**
Please use CWM Recovery when flashing this mod.
Looks nice, thanks! FYI, there's also an S3 TouchWiz that comes with Pimp My ROM, but I haven't tried it yet. I wonder if it's the same thing.
works good on aokp oct1 build..

I didn't see this mentioned on the linked thread or in the demo video. Does this have the Desk Dock mode when plugged into the OEM desk dock? If the Clock app has the DeskClock page to the right of the Timer tab, it most likely does. TIA.
supports Cyanogenmod 9 on Samsung Epic 4G touch?

I'm not sure about this one. I'm running CM10 nightlies. My clock application is built from source. If there's a particular Desk Dock mode within the S3's clock app, it's unknown to me as that app likely has other settings than AOSP. As far as I can tell, you're only gaining themed icons and additional apps. I do not believe any apps have been replaced, thus no additional added functionality to existing system apps from the particular ROM you're running.

The Desk Dock mode is from Gingerbread TouchWiz. (Screen shot attached.) The Jelly Bean dock mode doesn't have the icons at the bottom, and I don't care for the color, shape or size of the clock font.
Will this work on Rootbox 3.0 jb 4.1.2. Im on international s2 which is i9100
Ps. Does anyone have any link for apk because the links at madmans thread are all dead.
Im dying to get working touchwiz5 on jellybean s2

Hello, can anyone direct me to some boot animations or other cool mods that will work on 4.1.2? Rooted with Galaxy Note Toolbox 3.0 with the stock rom. Relatively new to rooting, all I have done so far is added lightsaber sounds for when I add/remove my S-Pen and also installed Google Wallet. Just looking for some advice, I'm more about aesthetics than tampering with anything on the phone lol Thanks!

So has development of TW ROMs stopped? Is there not any mods or tweaks left to make a unique TW ROM? I'm kind of getting bored of having the same styled ROMs because honestly all CM based ROMs are pretty much the same because of the fact that they are all CM based obviously. It was nice having TW and CM7. Then getting CM9 and CM10 and now CM10.1 but it seems that all the ROMs have the same basic settings and themes.
Avatar ROM was a little different and I liked it but not too much different since its also CM10.1 based. What I'm really looking for is a TW ROM with all the mods that they're used to be like the lockscreens and clock position in status bar and all the little things that made TW ROMs better. Do any of those even exist anymore for any phone?

You not so satisfied with The People's and Legacy? I don't use them but they still seem popular after all this time.
And why not take time to theme and mod CM ROMs yourself? Themes, lockscreen mods, launchers and widgets are scattered around for you to revamp the experience. Personally I don't like non-AOSP style, but to imitate a GS3 I downloaded a "GS3-Addon", did a bit modification to it and flashed upon a CM10 nightly, which in the end turned out to be REALLY, REALLY similar experience to the real TouchWiz 5!
Just saying, you can try similar tricks yourself, though it takes some time

Could you post a screenshot of your TW 5? I'd like to see how close you've gotten. And your right about all that but I'm honestly just missing the good old TW ROMs that had amazing battery life and many tweaks and themes and stuff. I used to theme TW ROMs and worked on a few mods and I was doing pretty good but that was last summer. Since I started college I haven't really had much free time to work on that kind of stuff.

Not SO close actually TW-specific apps are mostly missing. But apps like S Note, Super Video (floating video player on S3), TW5 launcher and widgets are all there. More I can't remember.
I'll post screenshots 2 days later as we're having tests these days and my E4G is currently on CM10.1 so I have to restore the nandroid backup.

Its cool don't worry about the screenshots.
Do you know a way to get the lockscreen on cm10.1 to be like it was on 10 and 9? I mean to have the rings with the shortcuts before the actual unlock pattern? Is there a way to change that? I wanna start working on my ROM to make it the way I actually want.

It's not there in CM10.1, I checked.

@lilajrestnom Hey I have an idea. Settings - Lockscreen - check "Maximize widgets". In this way you'll have to long press the lock icon on the bottom of the screen to bring up the lock security, which I think is just what you want. This is tested to work with "pattern" lock security.

Ya I've done that and that's the closest I can get to what I actually want. I really just wanted the real rings before the pattern lock but it seems like that's the best I can do for now thanks tho.

For those of you who've tried the Google edition Roms for the M919, you know that these are some of the best ways to enjoy a stable 4.3 Nexus-like experience on our phone. I personally enjoy the VirginRom, thanks to it's stability and also the patience and kindness of its developer, Mr. Virginia (check out his thread in Dev section).
My question is, what apps or mods do people use to enhance the Nexus experience on these Roms. For example, what app is good for adding notification toggles? Is there a mod for changing quick settings? Etc. Thanks.

For quick toggles, get widgetsoid, change it to black and put notification icon to none and you have a touchwiz/jb like status bar

Cool, I'll check widgetsoid out. Haven't used it since Froyo. I was using Settings Extended, simple and nice looking. But maybe Widgetsoid allows for larger toggles.
Too bad stock Android doesn't allow for Quick Settings customization, like CM 10.1 and CM 10.2. It just makes sense.
