I really like gio's stock rom and I want to make it look like ICS. Is there any way to make it look like that just flashing zip? I could use maclaws ICS but its not very stable.
i am using XXKQ6 rom
Use holo launcher, its look like ics
Check in google play

but you see, when I kill apps with stock task manager it kills and holo louncher :/
Why don't you use adrenaline rom + ics theme (the theme is in adrenaline rom thread from ace). Is stock based and much better also

The stock task manager gives you the option of which apps to kill, just dont use the global kill. As a general rule, killing apps doesn't help the phone, so consider not using it at all.
Also, make sure holo is the default app, that way even if it is killed it just comes back.
use the ics theme from aurora rom, its flashble patch

I just flashed salvage-mod 1.4 the other day and I extremely love this rom but I have a few issues with it such as the black messaging (i like white) and there is no silent state for the volume..
So what I really love about this rom is the launcher it has. Its the AOSP GB Launcher with settings to where you can change the number of screens (i prefer just 3) and has the 3D drawer and it runs so smooth and flawlessly.
I really want this launcher, but to be able to put it on CM7. I love CM7 but i dont like the adw launcher at all or any other launcher in the market. ADW Ex is great but the quality isnt great compared to the AOSP Launcher...
My question is... is there a way to get salvage-mod's launcher on to CM7? Like an apk? Or any other close alternative?
Or if someone could help me with the black messaging and silent state
Thanks!
I could be wrong but I believe that is the stock gingerbread launcher that comes with salvage mod. I think you can get it from the market. It could be Launcher Pro also. I prefer GO Launcher on AOSP roms for it's customization characteristics. ADW is good if you but the paid version. I don't know if there is a dark and light theme for the messaging app. If not you would have to theme it yourself or look in the themes section to see if someone else has already done it.

Just saying that it should be in the market. You said you really want that launcher on CM7. Look up gingerbread launcher or try GO Launcher. It has lots of options from number of screens to animations and many themes. Just trying to help.
Oh yes, sorry but all the GB launchers in the market dont have the options that the savage launcher has.

I'm sure those customizations are built into the framework. You're not likely going to find it for CM7. You can check the Themes and Apps section for the gingerbread launcher. There may be a modified version there. Kinda doubt it. Sorry
You can try using titanium backup back up the launcher and restore it to cm7 if the launcher apk was modified it will work if its a framework mod it wont work properly but its worth a shot

Not sure if it'll help at all, but I've done a similar thing with ICS when I wanted to use the Trebuchet Launcher instead of the source ics launcher. I extracted the Launcher2.apk from within the zip of the rom, and used it as a replacement in the exisiting rom. Just a matter of messing with the files within the flashable zip. Not sure if this will help you but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Hm interesting, I may give this a try
Your awesome!!!! It worked! Ima hit the thanks button!
Edit: For some reason it wasnt sticking after reboots so i took a flashable zip that was meant for one app, replace the apk with my launcher2.apk and its working. I did that so it could install under system
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Try ADW Launcher EX
Glad it worked, if you have anymore questions/issues about making it stick just lemme know

Hello everybody, just a quick question...im not sure if themes would work on strongsteve's ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Im on strongsteves also. Its stable. I love it.
Anyway,yup! Looking for a theme yall! Do we have one!
Themes won't work on strongsteve's from because its odexed. You could theme it to your liking but it would have to be manual the way he did it. (I don't know how to yet but ill be learning). Personally I love the blue plus the from is so fast and super stable. 0 force closes or hat reboots. HIGHLY recommended. =D
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
There are no themes for the Rom, since its odexed...
Argh! Beat me to it, lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
....unless, of course you're using a different launcher. You can use themes for that launcher...
Oh ya I run the ROM myself. I always have a nandroid of it ony sdcard.. its honestly one of the best ROMs out there. Love how 99.9% of the ROM is themed the missing .1% goes to misc. Apps SS doesnt use And I love blue as well! But Some days I just feel like seeing something new you know? If only SS could make his ROM but with a .zip that would change the ROMs color.

Use StrongSteve's ROM for its speed and stability. If you'd like to make customizations, you can do it in a variety of ways, including apps like Beautiful Widgets, launchers like GoLauncher, etc.
Notwithstanding, there are some items that you may wish to change that you simply cannot, so if customization is super-important to you, then you should probably try one of the de-odexed ROMs
!!
i agree,strongsteves rom is great. ive tried every rom out there and got force close this and unexpected that...this rom not only looks great but its stable as all get out. and yes,go launcher is the way to go.imo.....i do like the blu kuban though...got a forced close tho... great rom tho
Worth repeating ..I have his last 14 updates. I have never had a reboot, freeze, or force close on any of them. Absolutely fast and stable. If you like blue, give it a try

Is it possible to "transplant" an ICS lockscreen (ie from juggernaut 5.0) and install on another ROM?
I'm using MALICE now, with Eugene's new kernel. I'm tech savvy with some things but a noob with this stuff.

my lockscreen is transparent. I'm not exactly sure what's the process, but I had a picture from my gallery on there, and I flashed another ROM or something along those lines and the screen is transparent, probably because I don't have that picture anymore? not sure? You can try deleting the picture after you set it?
Sorry I don't know the exact way to do it, but it is possible.
What I did was download go launcher
Then I downloaded go locker then found the ics theme lockscreen then I set the default launcher for whichever rom I was running(don't pick go launcher). And boom ics lockscreen on the rom and you don't even have to run go luncher you just have to download it for the locker to work....probably not the way you wanted but that's probably the easiest way...ha

@teo032
I think he meant transplant not transparent. As far as making your lockscreen "transparent" goes, all you need to do is go to cwm and fix permissions, then reboot. It will remove the assigned lockscreen .jpeg file to none.
@evanladoux
Implementing a lockscreen to be built in to a rom is very long process and it requires that you understand programming fairly well.
Yea lockscreens never used to be hard, but in GB witb samsung, its a pain.
M&S
Thank you everybody for your replies.
I was looking to get a built in lockscreen rather than Go Locker, which is what I just went with.
I was hoping it might be as easy as unzipping a ROM, & rename/copy/paste a few files into the DD folders.
Its fine until we have a fully functional TMO ICS. I use Wifi Calling a LOT, so, the current batch of ICS ROMs won't work for me as a DD, though I appreciate all the dev's work to provide (ie M&S .. too many to list)

And how do I go about installing SGS3 TW Launcher on Darkside ROM
I would ask thederekjay before you go flashing anything on his ICS rom to make sure its compatible first. Wouldnt want to end up with a soft brick.
I use teslacoils Nova launcher instead of Apex, and the battery life is phenomenal and i find the UI much more customizable and fluid.
Been using apex for the first time ever and let me tell you. Its way better than stock launcher on stock ics.
