beastMOD 4.25 Remastered, rethemed...... BEST ROM EVER
I completed the theming on it (pics are outdated now, flash to see all the changes) that Melvin and M&S missed, such as theming all the icons and adding
ICS widgets (nexus clock, ics analog clock) added ICS boot animation, some TW launcher theming, and ICS themed Samsung keypad. I also did lots more can't remember it all.
If anyone still loves this ROM and wants an updated fully themed version, enjoy this ROM =D

-install the ROM, fix permissions
-Reboot phone, give ten minutes to settle.

What Did I Do??
=added ICS samsung keypad
=removed a bit of "bloat"
=added ICS wallpapers pack
=Added a better ICS google search widget
=re themed messaging app (text bubbles are cut at the corner instead of rectangle)
=added more blue to TouchWIZ launcher that was missing (Blue folders now, also the selections for widgets,wallpapers,shortcuts,etc are all themed blue now)
Icons I Edited (there is probably more, this is just a quick list off the top of my head lol..)
-Phone icon(removed border)
-SMS icon (changed to green, like real ICS)
-applications icon (removed blue border, looks way better.)
-google tags icon
-task manager icon
-voice dialer icon
-voice recorder icon
-videos icon
-tasks icon
-memo icon
-accounts & sync icon
-calculator icon
-camera icon
-clock icon
-email icon
-files icon
-gallery icon
-google search icon ( and widget (; )
-kies air icon
-photo editor icon
-spare parts icon
This will most likely be my last update, if people enjoy what i added thank me!!!
If i see enough demand for it, i don't mind updating for the time being. (with M&S and/or Melvin's permission of course)
it would be a side project though as i am also working on a ROM =D
I am in no way taking credit for, or kanging this ROM.this is not a release.Beast MOD is just a retired ROM and I still love it so i've caught it up with the other ROMS IMO.

Things you should know??
-The ROM comes with Touchwiz Launcher edited to match the colors of the THEME – Has some animations edits and others as well as some small theme change to make it slightly better. Launcher has 5 Rows.
-I Really broke my back working on this ROM> The theme took a lot of time, all the apps, even the zip align and optimization took me like a day, i haven’t sleep well, haven’t eat well, haven’t even shared time with my girlfriend because i was busy working on the ROM and now she’s mad at me because i lie her all the time telling her I’m going to sleep and it’s to work with no one bothering. You all should appreciate the effort i put into my work, you all should know this is not like counting 1.2.3 and done.
-The boot-time on this ROM after the first boot is less than 15 seconds including the splash screen (WOW), first boot might take around 40 seconds(Duh-first boot)
-This ROM has been tweaked for better network speed and signal also- Thanks to my man Master&Slave i now have over 18-MBPS download speed when here in NY the most i have had was around 4-MBPS on a good day - It’s a big city, lot of users so it’s not as fast as other places where you get around 10-MBPS. About the signal- Where i live, most of the time my 4 signal bars are full, also Wi-Fi works pretty fast, you don’t have to wait for long till it connects.
-By pressing Home and power buttons Or Also By Long pressing power and then choose screenshot, you can take a nice screenshot of the Beast and share it with your friends, or share it with us here on the Thread, Facebook Or Twitter.
-In this ROM, Pretty much all the apps have been edited to look good and match the theme, there are some apps missing to edit like the camera app and some others but they are coming on next release. You may want to report anything that needs to be changed so that it gets changed by me.

That is not correct, I talked to him a few weeks back on another forum and he said he might get back to the SGSII if he can get the phone again, otherwise he bought another phone, I think it was the Gnexus can't remember.

How you gone tell me thats incorrect when I talk to him everyday.
Hes not publicly developing until the SGSIII comes out, then me and him will work together again
I am just saying what I read from him on another forum. He might have changed his mind or something.
I think M&S would know dude lol they developed together for a while, and from what I hear, still talk like every day lol

been running the beast for awhile now, does this theme upgrade effect the old in any negative ways? still super smooth? data tweaks still in place?

No it doesn't man, still super smooth. i just modified a lot of the icons because they weren't ICS themed yet. so now almost all stock icons are ICS themed =D i'll add more later as well and update it again.
added ICS themed Samsung keypad
added ICS wallpaper pack
added ICS analog clock
added ICS analog clock (dotted white one)
added a better looking ICS themed google search widget
re themed the MMS app so that the text bubbles are cut on the bottom corner instead of just rectangular.
and of course, added tons of ICS icons.. check it out!
None of my changes will affect stability.. still smooth as hell i've loved this ROM since the day i flashed it lol (it was the first ROM i flashed to this phone) i always come back. even after trying Juggernaut 5.0 and MacnutRevenge.... i still come back to this =D
people may say its placebo, but the XLoud port does wonders on this rom, phone is so much louder.
only thing is that it's still android 2.3.5 if Wi-Fi calling is that big of a deal, i've heard it's very easy to add..
oh and this is not a theme upgrade. this is the entire rom with my modifications done to it. (not sure if this is what you meant to say, this is not a theme. it's a ROM)
the download link for the original beast mod is dead on XDA and the topic is frozen. so get your fix here. hahaa

Hello users!
I’ve been quite off these days but you know why? Well here you got it; I was working on this beast ROM since before I got the phone so it’s been some days on it. This is the result of long hours of work, short sleep and all the hard things you could think I went thru. It’s not done yet, but it’s something I can call releasable and since I hate releasing ROMs with bugs and half-done you could spec a lot from it. I want to take the time and thank all those who helped me get my SGSII buy donating in a record time. This is here because you guys wanted it here. Because you wanted me to work for you guys. I really hope you all enjoy this baby because I’m very happy with it and I’m enjoying it a lot since the first day, well even Sammydr enjoyed it since TEST3. Well with no more talking I Present you guys……….. BeastMOD II. Thanks

You Really need to come around man;
theme
does the theme also change the text messaging application, because i hate the touchwiz text messeging skin, and have to always use 3rd party apps, if it does can someone post a screenshot ?
Melvin I was wondering what took you so long! HAHA!
Tweaks?
Is it recommended that I flash other tweaks like the V6 supercharger over this rom?

PREZENTZ
THE ORIGINAL PORT OF
INTRO:
While browsing through the SGSII Theme & Apps section, I came across this little gem and thought I'd port it over for personal use. BUT once it was actually running on my phone, it looked even better in person than it did in the screenshots, so I decided I'd ask for permission to post my port, which vertumus gladly allowed me to proceed! His work on his ICS theme is so sick, that others have started using his work in their themes as well! So without further ado, I present to ya'll THE ORIGINAL PORT OF DOMINATION!!!!
INCLUDED:
APP & LAUNCHER ICONS:
Framework, SystemUI, TWFramrwork, Pulldown Screen, MyFiles, Calendar, Quick Google Search, Music, Settings, Power Options Mod, Extended QuickPanel Toggle Mod, CRT Animation, App Widget Picker, Phone, Contacts and Market!
****To retain Markets' theme - SETTINGS>APPLICATIONS>RUNNING SERVICES>click on the ALL tab>scroll down and select MARKET, and click on UNINSTALL UPDATES!
ANIMATIONS:
BOOT - Old PC Boot-up Screen Meets New ICS Boot Animation w/ Sounds; SCREEN TRANSITION - Motoblur; SCREEN ROTATION - ICS!!!
APP LAUNCHER ICONS ONLY:
Gallery, Internet, Videos, Talk, Voice Recorder, Voice Search, Gmail, Email, Camera, Calculator, Clock, Pattern Lock Screen
WIDGETS:
Digital Clock, AccuWeather, Email, Google Search, Program Monitor, Power Saving Options, News & Weather, TWCalendar(Month, Agenda, Today), Clock(Classic, Simple, Unique, Modern)
NOTIFICATION ICONS:
Email, MMS
INSTRUCTIONS:
1)Download theme from link below and copy it to your phone's storage(either internal or SDCard)
2)Reboot phone into Recovery
3)Select To Wipe Both Cache and Dalvik
4)Choose To Install zip, navigate To THEME and flash
5)reboot into phone and enjoy!
COMPATIBILITY:
This port has been built using crawrj's AIOMod, so it is compatible with both the Blazer ROM and Calk's ROM. For the AOSP ROM I've removed ALL TW elements, along with the phone, contacts and mms apps. And the TNz version is listed there as well, so there's a version for pretty much ALL EL26 ROM at the moment !

****Change Log & Screenies 2nd Post****
KNOWN BUGS:
1)Wallpaper scrolling bug in TW launcher only
2)Theme swype will not stick after a reboot
3)TO RESOLVE THE REVERSE SCREEN BUG WHEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE PHONE(WHICH IS AN ISSUE WITH BOTH THE CRT AND SCREEN ROTATION MOD BEING USED TOGETHER, AND NOT SPECIFIC TO THE THEME), DOWNLOAD SPARE PARTS, AND SET BOTH THE WINDOW AND TRANSITION ANIMATIONS TO FAST
13 LOCKSCREEN MOD BUGS:
1)EXTENDED TOGGLES
It is not included in this mod, BUT doing the following will get it working for you while on it ! Go into QUICKPANEL SETTINGS>WIDGET BUTTON ORDER, and just move ANY one of the toggles to a new position, and you should now be able to view all 12 toggles!!!
2)HOT BOOTS(big thanks to playya)
Prior to flashing the mod, backup the service.jar file of the ROM you're on. Copy it to your phone and then copy it to the \system\framework folder by using either Root Explorer or its free alternative, ES File Manager...OR if you don't feel comfortable doing this please post on here what ROM you are on and I'll post it up for you! I'll eventually start fixing all these bugs, so this is just a temporary fix for those who want the mod ASAP, which is definitely worth the extra 3-5mins or fixing it, IMHO!
TO-DO LIST:
-Will make entire pulldown screen background black, instead of grey.
-Will change horizontal progress bar back to ICS, instead of green.
-Theme Calks v2.6 ROM!

Lookin good King. Can't wait to try it out in a bit.
How can i get the folders looking like that? And can u skin the gingerbread keyboard like the one here i dont really like using the samsung keyboard. But great job on this theme best theme out so far

Looks awesome...gonna test it out on Calk's 2.5.1 and Blend 1.5. Will report back.
So I flashed the ICS v1.93 theme over unnamed ROM and it works ok, but I get some forced closures and lost some ROM functionality. If I want this theme, should I re-flash Unnamed ROM (to get toggles back) then flash this theme (to get ICS back)? Does that sound about right?

Where is the lock screen you have pictured?

Review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vjxgoSvvXU
Things you need to know:
I envisioned this as a greenish ICS/AOSP/TW (hence VeNuM's Consolidated System or V C S). The reason for this is I enjoy all 3, they all have certain parts I like and I'm trying to incorporate them all into a rom for the best pre-ICS rom experience we can have... So I will continue to update this rom with ICS/AOSP/TW elements to attempt to make a rom that is pleasing to the eye's, battery and serviceable to the user... I guess that's my mission statement lol...
Installation Instructions:
You must be running a kernel with CWM.
1) Place the V C S RL4 EL29 rom.zip on your SD card.
2) Power off your phone.
3) Boot into CWM.
4) Perform a wipe Cache, and Dalvik-cache. Now in Mounts and Storage perform format/system. Now wipe data (factory reset). You can also perform Calks wipe all zip if you want but not needed.
5) Select "install zip from file" and navigate to and select the zip.
6) When it finishes flashing, go back and select "reboot system now". The first boot will take a couple minutes. Subsequent boots will be much faster.
Warning: Do NOT restore system data with Titanium Backup. Do NOT restore ALL apps with data. If you absolutely must restore something with Titanium Backup, only restore MISSING apps with data.
The Touchwiz Wallpaper chooser has been removed (so if you try to change your lockscreen wallpaper it will force close. Choose Gallery instead)
TSMparts MAY cause your phone issues... beware...
If you encounter problems, send me a log so I can try to fix it.
EL29 themes will work on this although you will overwrite some mods... beware...

Background: When I fiirst talked about V C S I was going to do blue, like ICS. But heck, there's a lot of blue themes... So I did V C S in green, to give you the user something different... Well, I decided to go ahead and do the blue for fun. I used KingOfThaJungle's original port of ICS Domination Theme by VERTUMUS. So THEY deserve the credit for such a beautiful rom, NOT me...

7. Themes should work (just remember you can add, not take away)
8. Same kernel, nothings changed

Awesome work Venum!! However i'm not entirely familiar with VeNuM ROMs... How are they?
Downloading now.
Thought I'd mention a typo. In the OP it says this ROM is 225gb pretty much right at the end.
didnt see All share app listed as one the apps , can i just push the apk to system/app?
either way downloading
EDIT: Whats the difference between stock gallery and the one included in this rom?
In gallery i select a pix and when i hit send via it only gives me an option for bluetooth, gmail, wifi.. NO sms or mms?
No weather widget, was it to cut down the size of the rom or did it cause any issues. Im going to install it and see what happens
Finally a Green ICS ROM....JACKPOT!!! Thanks DLing now!
Runnin it and lovin it, thx again for a top notch rom.
Couple pics I found that work well as backgrounds/lock screens

I give you TSM Pool Party v2.0 ICS 4.0.4 for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus . Pool Party began with Sbrissen (xda/rootzwiki) a Samsung Fascinate developer that ported every single SGS style lockscreen into one convenient package. At the time, his work was called TeamSbrissenMod Lockscreens. After perfecting the control app TSMParts.apk and adding in some status bar GUI love and a few other system wide options, he packed it into what was called Pool Party. The rom was released on the Facsinate, ported to the Epic in GB by Maddoggin and ported to the NS4G as well as the Nexus S by myself (Dreamsforgotten). Since GB, Sbrissen has been churning out work (I believe for CM9 ICS) on the Fascinate and has stopped production of Pool Party. I put this together for everyone to continue to enjoy the Pool Party Line of Roms.
Code:
[color="blue"]
Android:Source = IMM76I ICS 4.0.4
Linux:Platform = Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS Lucid
Android:Kernel = NONE [Both Franco Kernel and James Bond work flawless, I use Franco]
[/color]
((I rather NOT flash a kernel, because kernels are a personal choice, each user uses a different kernel for different reasons. Being that this rom does NOT flash a kernel, if your on a stock kernel, your good. However, if you are NOT on a stock kernel, keep in mind any init.d folders, modified modules, etc that the kernel your using flashes, will be overwritten by the rom and you MUST reflash your kernel.))
Sbrissen's Official Thread can be found here: http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?2670-ROM-8-24-TSMPoolParty-V1.2-2.3.5&
Please stop by and thank Scott for everything without which this would never be possible.
The features in the ROM are a colaboration of TSMPool Party code via Sbrissen, CM9 source, and AOKP source. The control app is 100% work of Sbrissen and I re wrote the app to speak to the new variables in ICS that changed since GB (which was a **** ton!)

ChangeLog: Link coming soon to in dept changes
Here's the short and sweet
v1.2 Milestone 1, Finally looking how it's supposed to, stable code came in v1.0, theme and new features came in 1.2
Included Honey, and Ring LockScreen in addition to Stock, Tab, 4Tab Screens. Total 5 LockScreens
Lockscreens Themed for ICS from GB and Clock widget updated to ICS text.
Changed to the design of the new toggles via AOKP versus the classic ones
Added a submenu in Lockscreen Parts including the nav bar menu from Rom Control. You have all the nav bar features of AOKP in the SystemUI
Big menu softkey in nav bar is achieved by hiding the normal menu key and adding in another soft key that triggers the menu
Back is always Longpress to kill keeps it locked in by default.
Added in the code for Rotary, Rotary Revamped, and Lense LockScreen. Have to tweak the code and size the images to add the choices into TSMParts.apk
V1.0 Bugfix Rom / Still V1.0 Released May 21, 2012. (From here out version numbers change)
Fixed MMS failing to download Bug noticed by snoopy1e11
Native Tether included pointed out by radadev fix via jakdillard
Included LatinIMEGoogle and LatinIMEDictionaryPack.apk fix explained here [url="http
V1.0 - First Draft
This rom is AOSP goolge source, mods on top inlcude:
TSMParts.apk, Settings.apk mods for control app, 100% Sbrissen work, I rewrote the values that changed in settings.java and deleted features that are not relevant any longer. I also added in methods to speak with AOKP code in the status bar
SystemUI.apk-Kanged AOKP for the new toggles layout and used their code for carrier text in the status bar. I did not Kang the swagger toggle powersave code/toggle and the rest of thier added code, I only Kanged the features that were already in Pool Party from day 1
Frameworks Framework.apk/Framework.jar
I modded the lockscreens using the original lockscreens from TSM Pool Party 1.5 by Sbrissn. None of this code is from AOKP or CM9
I change the value to never use scrolling cache to default with no way to reach that setting in the control app. That means this rom runs with scrolling handled by the GPU not cached in android. I am not a fan of the scrolling cache at this point, lets see if it improves in future versions
Credits:
Maddoggin - I thank Maddoggin first and he didn't contribute directly to building the rom. He actually donated me the Galaxy Nexus which is the only reason I'm here to begin with. I would still be shelling out this rom only for the NS4G
Scott Brissenden - (Sbrissen aka Team Sbrissen Mods) for creating Pool Party for the fascinate in Ginger Bread. Before him there was CM7, OMFGB, and 1 or 2 othes that were using similar mods. Scott perfected all the galaxy S lockscreens into a package of his own with their own personal features. These are present in this rom as well. Also thank him for answering numerous questions
BigRushDog - My phone came in non working with no 3G so I had to leave it stock in case of a return. BRD stepped up and cracked the mms errors found in building with the device files that were available from the beginning. Brd supplied me with the stable device and vendor files.
k0nane - for being on Gtalk 24/7 fixing my java issues with ubuntu 12 (before I ditched it for 10.04 again ) helping me with troubleshooting in logcat. And for always supporting my work.
ShabbyPenguin - for his normal antics, his hosting space at holyling****.com so I can give you my releases with no ads, no delay, and no data limits. For giving me an ear to vent into when I'm pissed. Many many more reasons lol.
Parabola from ACS - always giving me pointers in Java and helping me with errors
QBking77 - Making the video that will surface later
Peter Alphonso - All his support and base for the NS4G version before I converted this to the Galaxy Nexus. He has also came to my aid when I've reached points I couldn't pass.
The testers and users who support my work. I build roms for myself and hosting them and supporting them takes just as much time as building them. Your support and appreciating make it worth while to release and constantly update instead of keeping this to myslef.
and last but not least I like to give a special thanks to Jason aka (JasonK75 on xda). He is a stand up guy. I can't say why I'm thanking him, but we both know.

Try flashing a kernel over after the rom and gapps usually stuck at Google is kernel. There is no kernel in this rom noted on the OP do it might be erasing pieces of your kernel you previously had before the rom formatted system, let me know!

Awesome! No worries it's easy to forget formatting system does delete kernel parts, there isn't enough consistency of a best kernel so I don't want to turn people away from the rom when the kernel doesn't agree with the phone I rather users use the kernel they are comfortable with.
please note if anything pops up that doesn't work, I'm guessing your the first Verizon tester I've had lol.

HOLOGLASS, super-minimal and totally classy!
Because a lot of people liked what I'm doing here, they wanted a donate version. That has now been released
Free Beta: right here!
--------------
Hey XDA, I have been working on this idea for a few days about a month at this point... one, because I don't like how the recent CM10/AOKP digital clock widget has been looking lately, but more importantly, because I wanted a thin and light UI that focused on the User, (primarily their background choices), and I haven't seen a good ROM or skin that did this well / the way I wanted. Sticking to the Holo theme was very important while designing this, and I think that is very clear in the result (No pun intended).
I've been taking it rather slow and steady, making sure I know exactly what each line of my theme does, where each image goes, etc. This is my first theme, so be patient
You will notice the theme doesn't match the images below; those were my ideal mockups and I had to make some compromises due to system limitations. A custom ROM might change that, and is in the works. Also, the lockscreen widget doesn't exist yet, that I know of. I'm designing that too.
UPDATES:
7/10: Donate Version updated with 4.4.3 dialer and contacts. Took WAY TOO LONG. Now to work on CM theme engine style.
2/5: Donate version updated with KitKat support, fixes ugly grey actionbar, but temporarily reverts the new dialer and contacts (only 4.4)
8/23: b1.9 - Big update!
First step to update to 4.3 roms. Had to revert the deskclock back to fat hours for now, and Contacts.apk is still off, but it's closer. More to come. Added support for the NEW paid Swype keyboard (trail is still orange, sorry), AOKP Circlemod battery, White CM Battery, and a lot of really minor tweaks while I fixed all the things I broke trying to organize code and stuff.
4/17: b1.7 with TRANSPARENT KEYBOARD wut wut
4/16: b1.6 with new notification tray background, merged donate and beta so everyone gets QS toggles, and some more surprises Also started work on some weather widget icons for the lockscreen ideas.
4/15: b1.4 with numerous statusbar and other fixes, and Donate Version with ALL the QS toggle's themed!
4/12: Beta v1.3 - Large update with more assets, properly themed colors, and a fix for the dialog issue!!!
4/11: Beta v1.2 ACTUALLY fixed the MMS issue after a couple tries.
4/10: Put out the themed MMS on the appstore; Thanks to Justin Bourne for jumpstarting it!
4/10: Still stuck on the dialog-as-a-new-page issue, so I'm looking to redo the styles.xml again.... joy! Removing the apk from the thread so everyone can recieve updates via Google Play.
UPDATE 4/9: One month later, HoloGlass emerges as a rather complete beta. The rest is history.
Literal History (of the alpha):
So I love you guys and this glass theme too much to sleep even; I stayed up all night to get this ready and out the door. I kept telling myself, oh, just one more asset, etc etc, and then it's 530am and I have to go to work soon. ANYWAYS. I redid my workflow to included an official signing key & zipalign, and JUST uploaded to the appstore, so the link probably wont be live for a little while. But because of the almost 800 alpha 2.1 users, I'm going to post it up here one last time so you can get it first (and with that shiney XDA version badge on it)
UPDATE 4/7: Started over, sort of; Rebuilding the styles.xml so everything is smoother, fixing most of the transition issues, fixed the notification clock/button issue, and themed the notifications, but the glass styles haven't been finished yet, so no new apk yet. Once I do that, however, I think we'll be graduating to BETA, and will post in the app store. COMING SOON!!!!
Another 4/5: Alpha 2.1 - Accidently had temp QS images in there, and fixed some more colors (like the status bar clock). I tried playing with the text sizes, (larger clock done in holo-thin/holo-light, etc), but... it wasn't HOLO, so even if I wanted to "YOLO", it was a big NO-GO.
GIANT UPDATE 4/5: I was sneaky and made an initial alpha available somewhere in the thread, but after doing so I fixed a few things (namely, the animation piece; by turning it off, lol), and am ready to make this an official alpha. OP updated to reflect that. Oh, and I made myself a signature too
UPDATE: 4/2: QS Toggles & systemUI icons done, see Post 116 for a sexy screenshot
UPDATE: 4/1: Halfway through making the new SystemUI icons, see Post 144 for more deets. Hoping to have an XDA alpha/beta out in the next few days.
UPDATE: 3/18: Updated OP Title to reflect that this is actually in development. Pretty good progress on basic apps and updated Holo theme, but needs refactoring and to redo most notification icons for proper transparency. Not bad for 10 days after-hours work.
UPDATE: 3/12: See Post 43 for screenshots of the first baby steps! sortof-holo-glass in a real theme!
UPDATE: 3/11: Any experienced Theme-ers want to give me a few tips? I'm starting to understand it but can't seem to get my head around the first steps; once I get in I will be fine. Thanks!
UPDATE 3/8: I've cracked open my first Theme template, and will be working from there. Starting with JB 4.1, and might work my way down.

Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
I really love this idea and wouldn't mind paying for it even.
The only issue I see is while the clear ui works well with the wallpapers you've chosen, it may not with every wallpaper, as far as text and icon readability. Luckily I use mostly darker toned backgrounds.
If the final product looks anything like your mockups, I'll be in minimalist heaven. Good luck!

Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
In theory it's a great idea. A problem that I see is in the transparent notification drawer because anything that you have on the home screen would be seen in the drawer and could potentially make it hard to read. But it's still a pretty awesome idea.

All the background designs have a ~20-40% black overlay, and that overlay would be included in the final ROM layout, so theoretically any background should work. (I played with a lot). I haven't tried ALL white yet though... maybe I should.
I've also considered learning how to make the BG darkening layer transparency a user-customizable setting, to adjust as needed.

I think this could be solved with the "Notification Background" option that I know at least AOKP has built, so it would just copy the system background and not have the icons show through.
Another Idea I'm playing with is a background rotator (probably exists), that would change the background every X minutes/hours.

That's an awesome idea.... I'd use it for sure

Do you have a personal preference for roms at the moment, or would you prefer it to be a skin on top of your normal rom? If I have to fork an entire codebase, I guess I'd probably choose between CM10 and AOKP, so people's preference helps!
Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
I think it would be nice as a theme. That way people could use it on any ROM with the built in theme chooser. Then you could release it here and put a donate version on the play store. I'd buy it. Then again I'd definitely give the ROM a try too! Hopefully we start to see this around more either way because I think that looks great

If anyone has information on how to build for theme choosers, and the extent they can modify the OS, please, PM it to me. My gut instinct tells me that without doing it in a ROM, you'll have to combine 3-4 different apps or mods to get the same thing, but I'll start looking in to it.
Looks awesome! Great Idea! :good:

THIS IS AWESOME!
i really like this style!
and i think that if you can cooperate with a developer you and the dev both can get benifit,and further more,do some UI framework mod
This is definitely theme chooser theme worthy. If you made it a rom and it was for GSM Nexus it would leave us CDMA users high and dry.
By making it a theme anyone using CM10-10.1or have theme chooser could use it, CDMA or GSM. I would also donate for a theme like this.
P.S. There is an app that rotates wallpapers whether it's on a timer or you select a different wallpaper for each of your home screens. It's called multi-picture live wallpaper
Love the look.
Question though. What lockscreen widget is that?
short answer: Yes
Long answer: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Please

I'm on a Toro myself, so don't worry
Besides, if I *DID* end up going the custom ROM route, (which I am still considering, since after playing around a little, with AOKP + Nova I have been able to get pretty close to the look I want, and my ideal scenario is a one-stop mod), the stuff I am changing would not affect the core ROM, and could automate builds through custom merging with each branch.
But you are right, a theme is the easier route, (plus easier to make a donate version of).
Thanks for all the support guys, I'll try to make this happen.
PS: As for the bg rotation piece, in order to get the notification pulldown to not show the app/homescreen icons underneath, I think some custom work will be needed; I don't know if there is an easy way to pull the same background used. We'll see. Maybe I'll figure that one out for v2.0
