[REQ]Ginger Bread Based theme for EI22

Before I rooted the damn phone I had Ginger Bread on it, and quite frankly I enjoyed looking at the notification bar and seeing how basic it was. To me the whole concept of the stock theme was pretty sweet because it was just simple. I'm sure there's a theme that looks like this but I haven't been able to find one, so I decided to post here hoping for a few links from the people who know what I'm talking about. If you can't tell by reading this I am a n00b so id appreciate it if you guys weren't dicks about this... thanks!

EI22 IS Gingerbread. If u want a "stock Gingerbread look", why not just flash Toad's Clean GB ROM, its the closest thing to stock untouched GB with lots of little goodies/tweaks

??? Why would you want a crappy theme? Just flash cm7 and find cm7 themes on the market. There is one called cm7 galaxy s theme that is like our froyo. If you attempted at grammar and didn't swear I could probably help better. I don't even know what version/rom your phone is on...
1. What rom are you on
2. What is your android version (2.2/2.3/4.0)
3. What theme do you want (2.2/2.3)
4. If you are on gingerbread, just flash cleangb or stockish rom.

Yea I'm well aware my grammar was bad as it was 3 in the morning when I posted that and I was tired, but when I flash to cleangb my colors are, well they're just weird... they are way off from where they are when I'm marcusant rom... and I download voodoo controls but it says my kernel isn't support when it is (samurai). And the color thing is the same for cm7... I appreciate your help!

when you say colors, do you mean colors of the icons, and overall theme or do you mean hue/tint problems?

Yes, the hue and tint is very off. But I fixed it and put my magic to the works and got it working! All I did was open the zip on my pc and change the kernels lol but its fixed now. I'm on Clean GB 1.1.2 and is fitting me well. My only complain is that the notification bar is black, I'm not a themer do I don't know if that's the framework.apk or not so I'll just let it be until a theme I like is released!

People/Contacts App

I'm loving ICS on my SII. This is the only android phone that I haven't rooted and don't plan to unless absolutely necessary.
However, I would like to have the stock ICS people app and (dialer if possible). I've already stopped using the TWlauncher and have been using the android launcher...love it.
Is it possible to load either of these without rooting?
And yes I've searched the board but could not find a concrete answer. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

you have to be more specific are you on the ota ics or gb

Dude man if your not using the tw launcher ROOT dude! Aosp is so much better.

It does say hes 'Loving ICS on his S2'. That aside i think he wants the AOSP dialer and contacts apps. I dont believe you can do that without rooting as they are in /system i believe and you cant touch that without permission. If anyone knows better please correct me.

Been using exDialer with the ICS theme. Freakin' awesome!

Yes. I have OTA ICS. I know I should just root and load a custom ROM. I did that a lot with my original Epic but I don't want to root just for those 2 features. Thanks for all the replies. Looks like I'll have to settle for Samsung Dialers and contacts. No biggie.

I would also like to mention exDialer. Load up the ICS theme and you're good. Contacts isn't the same as ICS stock is, but it's good.
There is also an ICS Phone app in Play Store.

Easy-to-use ROM?

Hey everyone. My Mother-in-Law has the Sprint SGSII and.....she hates it! She needs the capabilities the phone offers for her business, but she is extremely frustrated with the UI of Android. She is currently running the most recent ICS update. I am curious to know, from experienced users of this phone, what the most user-friendly ROM is - considering the end user.

I recommend the Blu Kuban Rom, its pretty much drama free. Use Odin to install a rooted version of ICS, then install CWM Recovery. Once that is installed slap the Blu Kuban ROM onto your SD card. Boot into recovery and install the ROM.
You will want to read some FAQs and guides if you haven't done it before.

My vote goes for stock with Apex launcher, the feature to lock the desktop is amazing for newbie android users, grouping shortcuts, customize the bottom icons, slight theming, working good so far.

I've rooted my SGS3 & am running StrongSteve's Odexed Blue, but this is my first Android phone & rooting experience. I will definately read the stickies & FAQs before I do anything. Hopefully the Epic 4G Touch isn't too different from my SGS3.

Stock, let the mother in law deal with Sprint especially if she uses her phone for business. Next thing ya know you get blamed if she misses a call or gets a late text.
Try a different launcher like apex or nova first. Lots of ppl also like go launcher, many themes

I have Nova launcher and I like it. Or go to settings, apps, select all, go to twlauncher and clear defaults then hit the home key to switch to twlauncher and you can make it your default for a straight Android look.

Go gingerbread and run stock or a stock ROM with tweaks. I'd say go with either blazers 4.1 calks 3.0 or unofficial ICS gingerbread ROM. ICS is just poo.

Why GB over ICS? I'm new to Android and have only experienced ICS, so I am unaware of the differences in ease-of-use/system UI.

HA! She's already missing calls, butt-dialing china, mass deleting contacts, opening every installed app on her phone, etc. That's why I started his thread!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I got my tech retarded dad an evo 3d and put an AOSP ICS rom on it for him.It seems to be working well enough. As such I cannot recommend an AOSP rom enough for simplicity and ease of use. Google is like pretty good at what they do and IMHO AOSP is the cleanest, simplest to use option available. Keep the stock launcher and just put phone, browser, text and email in it...

No ROM is going to fix stupidity. No offense to your in laws.
That being said blu Kuban is a good choice for customizing to her specific needs. I usually refer to it as the "build your own ROM" ROM. However she may be a little daunted by the frequent updates and large amount of options. If you do choose that ROM I would highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the faq in my sig so you can send to any issues she may have with it. Also any ROM by team VeNuM, especially m'ICS or blue BOA would be a good choice as far as stability is concerned.

Hehe, none taken. She's not stupid, just "technologically challenged."
I can't remember where I saw the screen shot, perhaps an article on Android Authority, but I seem to recall seeing an initial setup screen shot from a GNex w/JB - shortly after Google launch party. That screen shot allowed two options, basically beginner or advanced mode. I believe I came away with the impression that was geared towards the UI too, not the setup method.
Now, I know JB ROMs are in alpha stage for the e4gt. Do you think I should wait for, what looks to be, an official JB release for the SGSII from Samsung?
Thoughts? Has anyone else seen, read, heard, or experienced this "beginner mode" on JB - or were the paint fumes at my office gettin' to me more than I thought they were that day?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

JB roms are not quite ready yet. There was some type of easy setup thing though. Honestly your best bet would probably be a simple launcher and lockscreen.

Keep it stock. Use a different launcher and remove all but one screen. Put the things she uses most on it as shortcuts, then lock it so she can't accidentally mess it up. Did that for my wife and it really helped!

no rom will fix this try Mihome miui launcher its as simple as it can get good luck

Ive been using the TeAm VeNuM cRaCk StOck[FH23] for the past couple of days and you cant get much more simple than that. Only change I made was switch to the Apex Launcher. The battery life is incredible!!!!

I find GB more stable then most ICS ROMs. Great battery life awesome signal and great GPS locks. Most GB ROMs are complete and done with updates due to ICS coming out. Currently ICS is still being updated and has many flaws. A lot of the devs like ruj and mijjz got their stuff in order but they update a lot and may irritate your mother in law.

You can just keep stock and go dead simple with i launcher. It will obviously have no bugs (its stock). its just an iphone launcher

[REQ] Replace TouchWIz Themed Apps on ICS

Hi there,
So after playing with vanilla ICS and then getting the ICS Leak for our cappys I've come to hate TW because it takes away from the beauty of ICS.
I found a few guides on how to replace the TW Stock Apks with Vanilla Apks however, due to TW frameworks you can't replace the dialer or contacts.
Is there anyone who would like to help me in fixing this? I've tried several things and none of them have worked thus far. Suggestions?
-Kyle

That seems to be a guide to replace dialer on 2.3.5 (which back in black is made on). I think on ICS its not worth even trying, too much dependencies

oh.

I say just install a custom ROM. That's what I did. Running Nardholio's right now but I'll probably switch to dman's CM9 or AOCP once some of the bugs are worked out.

I don't like TouchWiz look. I like some of the apps and features. If it were even possible I'd love to have the multi window feature on the AOSP or AOKP rom interface

Check out avatar ROM then. Its touch wiz but its aosp themed.

Unfortunately, that won't be possible. All the apps you just mentioned rely heavily on the TW framework, you must be on TW to use them. I highly recommend Axis ROM, I am a beta tester for it. Should you decide to venture back to TW, check it out!

I don't think I'll go back to it. I do like the HD icons. I just don't like most of the ui. It doesn't have that paranoid android type of feel to it where I can change the DPI and so fourth. When you use xposed the settings and things look bad from it.

Honestly, I'm not sure when it will be out, but there are videos of it on YouTube, seems pretty awesome. Inspired my Facebook Chat Heads

That to me is very fascinating. Now that they have that they should be capable of providing the multi window function as touchwiz does. That would be a great step for Paranoid Android. I have a question for you! Send a message to my inbox!
