Well, the long awaited theme competition ends very soon. So, what are the themes you guys are looking forward to trying out?
My favorite and most interested themes so far are
GlossSuite by MOONSSPOON and Stericson
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480432
and
*Aero* by ultra spikey
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482799
I plan on trying out GlossSuite first followed by Aero. Based on the preview pictures, they both have things I like - and don't like, but they all seem very interesting and I'm sure hours of work were put into them, so I simply cannot wait.
those two are the best ive seen
I don't know what all themes are there.
Only seen 2 or 3 that said competition. I am thinking some are under wraps until then.
i dont know how many people are actually competing but those 2 made my jimmy dance.
also waiting for gloss and aero
also gloss and aero and dark knight and moon dust
Aero, Gloss, and Manups.
The theme contest should've ended by now. I'm waiting on Moon Dust.
hmmm....I suppose I will put up shots of mine tomorrow....
Moon Dust and GlossSuite.
Ive been wondering where in the world the themes are! Contest over, shouldn't the themes be out by now? Anyway, I'm off for now, hope to see them when i wake up tomorrow haha. Good night everyone!
I believe they must wait for the judging to be over (I heard it might be up to 2 more weeks?) before the themes can be released.

By that time, we'd only have a couple more weeks until T-Mobile releases the official Cupcake.

I wouldn't hold your breath, if I were you..... Just because the alleged G2 might be released soon (at CTIA) and certain bloggers are assuming a cupcake release should follow. The G2 is different hardware and doesn't have anything to do with us and our Dreams. I hope I'm wrong, of course, and I do see your point. Two weeks is a little long for judging. I wonder how many entries there are?! The more the better! And if cupcake is released, that doesn't mean most developers won't update their current lastest and greatest themes.
It's 10 am and theres no moon dust on my phone
and i was waiting for stericsons gloss suite till i saw moon dust. But both are going to be excellant im sure, and that dark night one looked really nice as well, just never been a batman fan
I'm waiting for Ultra spikey to finish the aero theme so that he can get back to work on his orb theme. that one really caught my eye.
i've been waiting for the ghost black theme for a while now.
First theme I ever used and I had to ditch it when rc 33 came out, luckily the dev said he'll be releasing it soon.
all the themes I've seen so far are looking really good, it's going to be a good week when these get released to the public.
hope i don't burn out my sd card with all the swapping I'll be doing lol
I am awaiting dthadamaja's theme as BUUF is theme I've used them most. Moon Dust, Aero, Dark Knight and Gloss Suite look very nice.
Bah, woke up this morning feeling like christmas, didn't read the competition thread, till i realized none of the pimp theme links had been posted. Got to wait another week for this theme ah well it will be worth the wait, just impatient to see how good it really looks
All the COMP themes look amazing. I thought I would have a clear favorite but I don't. Each one has it pluses but non have a minus. I look at one and say wow that one is the best then look at another and say oh wow he changed that and it looks sweet. GAH I can't decide.
Hey Dev's I have a request for you. My girlfriend has been with me for 2 years and now can flash roms and themes all on her own. Even odin! She keeps putting themes on her phone but there's only male oriented themes. I know many users and even some Dev's have gf's wih this phone and I'm sure any of them would love a pink or purple theme. Imagine the browie points you would score with your girl for flashing a cute theme for them! If any one like overstew or the dev's that made honey glow or blue glass or anything would do this. me, my gf and many other guys and gf's would be very happy. If any one can try please respond and let me know! As of right now there arnt any and the first one to make one would be very popular and have a big fallowing since we don't have any. Mahalo bradahs!
Hey all! Just rooted my new TMo GSII, coming over from an Evo4G. Im still reading and such, but Wanted to get a quick overview on this phone Is there a generally accepted best ROM or most stable, etc? Anyone know of a blue themed ROM? I did find THIS ICS ROM, not sure if sompatible with the TMo SG2?
What say you!
First of there are many threads about ROMS, but I will answer your questions before someone comes and flames you.
Look in the themes and apps section for themes you would like with screenshots. Juggernaut is probably one of the top 3 most stable ROMS with pretty much all themes that work for it. So go with juggernaut and ICS theme from Alexia and you should be fine.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

You beat me to the flame, but honestly don't we have a reason to do so when the answers are obvious? The ROM with the most views is more times than not the most popular and its not hard at all to visit the Themes and Apps section to notice the ICS theme being one of the most popular....then when people don't know how to thank you correctly for giving them a good answer (just saying)
Try the phone candy theme for juggernaut its blue and the one I use

BeastMod 4.3 has a nice ICS theme built into it. I'm running it and I like it.
darkside rom w sensation theme is what I'm rocking atm
Hercules was here
۞ PHONE CANDY FOR JUGGERNAUT V5.0 & MACNUT & WARFARE & SlickMOD۞
IMHO the sleekest blue theme I've seen. Clean, simple, & tasteful! Doesn't have anything too dramatic or tacky things that screams nerd LOL
Choose a rom based on your personal needs and use; whether it be longer battery life, best performance, or features.

Lol i didnt like the theme tbh, felt the icons were "out of place" some parts i liked but mainly the theme was abit 2 much..
Jugs is a good rom but cant expect it to fit everyones taste..
@OP: best possible recommendation, simply either try a few roms, find 1 you like, or what works best for you, and if u cant find a theme, either put in a request or build your own its rather simple xD
Anyone else BORED?! I wanted this phone so bad, and I was extremely excited when I first got it in December. Its still a beast of a phone, but the flashaholic in me is BORED! (Especially coming from an EVO 4G) Am I alone in this?! When AOKP/CM9 first arrived it was exciting, but the TW ICS leaks got old pretty fast. And who wants ICS anymore with the arrival of Jelly Bean! It just seems as if everything has slowed down CONSIDERABLY....and I get why....it just sucks!

If you're bored then you aren't taking full advantage of all the incredible ICS ROMs available.
Take a walk on the wild side and flash a new one each week until someone ports Jelly Bean, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm sure if it can be done one of our Devs will do it but most of them are focused on getting source for ICS right now so they can improve on their existing ROMs and build new ones.

if you want things that fast get a nexus
I found myself to be "bored" as well, but then I realized that the reason was because of the stability I was getting on Blazer 4.0 (four months of use!).
Still looking for my fix, I started testing out all the new offerings on here. I ruined one GS2, "unbricked" it, bought a white one, then stopped in the GS3 forum to see that PH was making a Blazer rom for that too.
So I picked up a GS3 to keep me busy in my down time.
You could probably go back to your Evo and start having fun again since our work is so boring over here.

+1 why not create your own ROM instead of insulting all our devs here, why do you need to complain for something that you didnt even developed or created

Bored seems to be a strong word. I don't think it's that the devs stopped working because there's still plenty going on. They are working hard with what they have but that's just the thing - they don't have a lot to work with. No source, nothing.
Things might be a bit more "exciting" for you if we had real access to Cyanogen or just AOSP in general but we don't. No offense to the devs involved in AOSP roms and the AOKP rom, but they are highly hacked in order to make them work decently on this phone.
For one we're dealing with the Exynos processor - not the S4. Also, Samsung sucked on their source release, from what I understand it was incomplete and will probably be the same with ICS. There's also the emergency call issue the CM team found which is why our phones not supported. Again, that's because of the incomplete source Samsung gave us citing 'proprietary code' being the reason it was incomplete.
So if you'd like to tell someone how bored your experience is with this phone - tell Samsung. Otherwise it's falling on deaf ears around here.
I stopped coming back because way too many people complain about everything...oh well

I'm only bored because I have found a stable daily driver.
Yes, it's exciting to have the latest, but ****s got to work.
Major props to chris41G and crew. I throw money at these guys as much as I can because without them, you would truly know what it is to be bored with your phone... Amazing stuff these guys are doing without source! :highfive:
i am still on aokp 37, even tho 40 is out i'm holding out for source. it's just sort of a pain to backup and reflash and set everything when i feel like it's so close to being "next level". 37 does have a few hiccups but it's been my daily driver since the day it was released.
with the gsiii out and jellybean as the new hotness, i really hope sammy doesn't hold out on us too much longer.
all that said, i don't think it's fair to criticize the scene here at xda (not that "being bored" is major criticism at that) as it's really samsung holding everything up.

Come on dazed don't put on your sensitive hat. Dude didn't mean it as an insult we all love your work. And appreciate just like all the other devs. I think a lot of his point is really contributed to how the leaks have just slowed down. And how jb is basically out now and we still don't have the official ics update and source for our phone. I feel the same way and I am a flashaholic too. But I am confident once we do get out update plus source we are really gonna see a whole new world open for our device. It's just patients

I don't have my "sensative hat" on, I was just stating that if he's not happy go elsewhere. I don't put my stuff on the level as other devs here anyway. I dont consider myself a dev. The things they do are amazing. I would've never released anything without them and their work. So at least so some consideration to them and word it more to Samsung if that's what he's complaining about.

Ok first a thank you goes out to all the developers before I go on my rant and question. I started rooting awhile back but got real serious with my s2. This site and people here taught me a lot just by reading and following instructions. Now I was away for awhile playing around with iPhones ( I know I know don't kill me) anyway I went back to my android with a s3 and my wife a one x. I ran stock for a few months but as you all know once you go custom it's hard to stay stock. So I rooted a week ago but can't find a Rom I want to run. Now this not for the lack of roms that sound and look good but things have changed so much on this site I don't know what to run. With my s2 I would look at a Rom read through comments about what was working, not working, or problems the Rom has and fixs. So on to my question. Pardon me but wth is going on with dev.forum. I look at a Rom and have to sift through pages and pages of crap that should be else where. People talking trash about developers, people fighting cause one person says yes but didn't read another's question. I wanted to learn how to make mods and work my way up to roms but I can't even find what Rom I want to use through all the crap. What happened to all that stuff being removed and such? Anyway enough of the soap box if there is anyone that really knows what their talking about like a mod. A developer or such that when they have time help me find a Rom that works for me. I asked before and got 2 roms recommended and of course the just try one till you like it but again I can't get through the crap on here. Sorry people who wasn't to talk trash about what a Rom did to your phone but if you would read through post without all the crap you can tell if you want to try it just by responses. Anyway any help would be helpful. Thanks for reading.

Just some advice, not trying to be rude or anything, but most people won't read a big wall of text like that. Break up your post into a few paragraphs so that it's readable and you'll get a lot better response.
I get what your saying, but that's also my point I have read long blocks of text about roms and problems. Give the reason why I didn't have to join till middle of this year to ask questions because answers where there. Not reading even if it's a wall of text seams to be part of the problem.

I can only speak for myself but as a long time user of Android this Dev is one of many top notch working on the SGSIII.
This rom is Solid, stable and my DD.
YMMV

Story of every devs life, they should up the post count to 30 to keep noobs out of development with their useless questions. Although that wouldn't deter them much. What were you running previously on your s2(aokp,cm,what was the base)? That would help with pointing you in the right direction ROM wise

I was running blazer as my daily driver. I thought out was a great Rom for the s2. I'm not big on the nexus look. Which most roms do but I guess I could also theme one away from that look.

Blazer ROM on sprint for s3, you could flash that if you get sprint modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746184
Or there are ways of porting it. Supposed to be a script someewhere around here. Gonna have to search for that though if you want blazer. Oh wait I found it:

On the at&t side I would recommend frosty jellybean or dragon origins 3.0, both are touch wiz based.
Aosp, I'd recommend tasks aokp, paranoid android, or paranoidkangdroid. Hope this helps.

I know this gets a little into the problem you commented on in the OP, but a lot depends on a couple of things. Do you like TouchWiz? If you do there a few options, a few of them will be ICS(LH1) and a few are Jelly Bean. Personally the best one out there is Triune(Not that any others are bad), there are also a couple of TW JellyBean ROM's too, Serenity 1.2 is a AT&T Rom ported from the Note II, which I have great luck with. If you are not interested in a "stock" ROM, then we're talking CM or AOSP, and obviously CM10(JB) is a huge name out there, but in the AOSP world there is Task's, The Collective, and Liquidsmooth. I haven't run Liquids yet, but my phone REALLY liked The Collective's ROM. For me, the only JB Roms that dont crush my battery is The Collective's AOCP, and with the Stock TW Roms, it doesnt get any better than Triune II
I know it's kind of a pain to wade through, but unfortunately, you need to try them for yourself. It really is the only way

You are the second one to lead me towards that rom,i tried a few jb roms today and had some issues, same as when i had the s2, before ics all the ics roms had problems. Which is probley why i stuck with blazer since it was a gb based rom with upgrades. Thanks for all the help to es veryone who has responded also. I understand you have to play around with the roms some i guess my bigger question was how did xda dev. forums get so childish. Seams to be alot of arguments that dont need to be there. I couldnt belive it when i seen people telling devolpers to hurry up,and if they dont update there rom every 2 weeks they should be shut down?? It just crawled all over me because they dont have to be doing any of this. I mean my kids dont yell at the people that dont GIVE them the good candy during trick or treat.

Yeah, some of the users can get a bit childish in their expectations and their responses. It can be a little trying sometimes, and I've seen more than one dev step out because of it. It's too bad. But, people have also started stepping up and reporting bad posts to the mods, which seem to help some. With the amount of users here now, it's a little to be expected. You have to have the good with the bad
