[Q] Can you only apply themes that are specifically built for the galaxy s?

Sorry Im a bit of a noob at this, but I've been wanting to apply the BuuF theme to my galaxy s. I know there is an ADW version of it but I want the full theme with status bar, notification bar etc to be replaced as well.
This theme is found in the Themes Android XDA forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574139
It seems this theme can be applied to a few different ROMs and phones, but none that I know are available for this phone.
Just wondering can you only apply themes that have been built specifically for the phone / mod specified? I was reading up on this app called Metamorph which sounds like the app to do it, but sounds risky.
Thanks!

i didnt check if it was suited for galaxy S but i am pretty sure it is.. but..
u have to root your phone and since u state it yourself that u are a noob i suggest u better read in first on how to do that .
goodluck

thanks. yeah my phone is rooted already. i'll probably give this a go on the weekend then...

hey... this theme is created around oct 2009.. when samsung galaxy was yet to born.. and in that theme the menu style looks old style when u needed to drag the arrow to the top to open the menu... i am afraid this theme is not for samsung galaxy s..
and the procedure to apply the theme also doesn't looks like its for galaxy s.
anyways ... if you feel like giving it a try .. its totally your call
best of luck buddy

hehe yeah i had a feeling as such. thanks for the advice mate if I get any luck putting it successfuly on the galaxy s, I'll share it with everyone. perhaps I'll only use some of the theme and skip all the parts that dont fit with the style of this phone.
cheers

Call Screen Question

is there any call screens other than the original epic drag up or down screen? thanks in advance.

There are... but none have been ported for use on the Epic. You can use CM7 and it will give you all the options for different lock screens which in turn will change your incoming call screen.
Other than that, I don't know of any that will work for the Epic.

yea im using midnight rom atm. thanks though. hopefully something will come about.

not sure if this is what you meant, but there are a few dialer replacements on the android market.
The ones that come to mind are:
Go Contacts (seems to be popular lately)
TakephONE
Dialer One
EDIT: I just actually read your post.. and sure these don't have any affect on (during) call screen. but, fwiw.

yea not actually what im looking for but those programs are nice. go contacts i think im actually gonna use just cause i like it. thx

[REQ]/[PORT] MIUI Themes/Lockscreens/Theme Manager

Searched if there already was this kinda topic here, and it wasn't.
Is it possible to get the MIUI Lockscreens ported to our beloved SGS2?
Please take a look at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134657
They look REALLY AWESOME and I would die for this on my SGS2.
Anyone who can do some magic?
Would gladly donate to the person who can/will port this, if possible
Thanks in advance

Thats the first ever bit of miui that I actually like. Nice find, hope someone ports them over.

It would be very cool if someone could make that

Just download the mtz file and install(open) it. It will ask to install the theme.
To change/edit go to apps->themes->edit-theme->lockscreen
Works on my i9100 with MIUI 1.7.1 test31

No worries. This is a bit OT for this thread, sorry. But can you tell me short about the rom? Like are the battery times good? And can you chose danish language in the rom as well? Are the shortcuts in the lockscreens configurable?
Thank you

Widgetlocker is a good alternative, its on the market and there are loads of miui slider down themes here on xda.
I will say it isnt free but well worth the money and works a dream on the sgs2
Hope this helps

These locksccreen couldn't be ported. They havent been ported to any stock rom phone. They work for any MIUI port but not on stock.
Use widgetlocker if you want but I don't like having another apps running in background and thus consuming battery only to have a lockscreen. Plus wl could be incompatible with apps tracking the screen unlocked as so it isn't a real lockscreen (embedded in system) but an app that SIMULATES a lockscreen

Battery times seem alot better then stock (though i didnt charge > 8 times on stock, installed roms straight away. Batt. live seems to improve after first few charges)
The shortcuts are configurable only by changing its path in the xml of the lockscreen, not by MIUI interface.
For me, MIUI is the best rom for SGS2 atm...still waiting for CM tho

+1 for the MIUI lockscreen. Great lockscreen, I too am using it as my lockscreen on Widgetlocker.

Gonna bump this thread...

I know that it is possible to get a default lockscreen changed on the SGS II. Nitr8 SGSII ROM has the stock android lockscreen instead of Samsung, he advised me that you can use this old SGS thread and it works. As I'm a ROM cooker and not a themer and don't deal with frameworks, somebody else (Maybe a themer) can try it? thread on how to do it is here

Thanks for the tip, mate

Thanks for the info. I do the odd bit of xml changing for my themes. If its to do with xml maybe I stand a chance but if its smali I wouldn't know where to start, I think its time to do some reading and try and learn.
I would love to change this lockscreen. I'm going to try next week.
I don't like miui but I installed it on my desire just to try these lock screens and they are really nice.

yup thats it .. i like it alot

Love the lockscreen. I'm just looking at the LG files, there in a .kdz format which I've no clue how to port. Maybe lockbot might have an LG version or something. In any case, this launcher is zippy.

yea good find i like this launcher better than the new tw ... sounds dumb but i love the no lines google search bar up top . if we can get a lock screen port we are good to go .. anybody know where i can get more themes for this ? i dont really like the ones in the link

Damn, LG's UI is so identical to Samsung's Touchwiz, I'm surprised they're not suing each other with all this patents nonsense flying around. That lock screen though is definitely dope. Wish Samsung adds more eye candy to their skin overlay or maybe just leave the original ICS look alone.

[REQ] MultiDPI Phone dialer

Hey guys, Attempted to modify the stock DPI last night and noticed the phone dialer like in all Samsung based roms becomes warped..
I was hoping someone with the skillset could make a modified version of the dialer so its multiDPI compatible.. Would love to use a slightly lower DPI for more screen real estate.
Its tempting to move over to CM9/AOKP but I cant pull myself away from TouchWiz at the moment.
Cheers guys, look forward to your responses.

You could use a modified touchwiz launcher to increase the room that way. Otherwise you could use a different dialer from the marketplace...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Both valid work arounds, although not a solution.. default dialer is the best in my opinion.

Looking for stock mdpi dialer.. This stock dialer is too good to omit . Searching for a good guide, couldn't find one.

Great, if you find one please do share.
I remember seeing a guide on how to convert the dialer to mdpi on some other model phone in the past, the methodologies could be applied just the same.. although it was quite outdated.
When I get a chance ill see if I can find it, ill post a link on here may help someone with a little more skillset then myself.

+1
Would love to see a 240 dpi touchwiz phone dialler for the S3
Please let me know if you guys find one that works =)

There was manual on this forum how to make a multi dpi dialer, but a cant find yet. when i find, give link to this thread.
