I want to try flashing a rom with an ICS theme. I'm rooted with CWM5 installed.
Thinking about flashing that ASOP looking ROM then the ICS theme to go with it.
Is there any reason I shouldn't do this? My phone doesn't seem to suffer LOS at all. Can I flash the ROM then flash a stock kernel?
Most of the roms available support most kernels. There are at least 3 custom "stock" kernels available that would be your best bet at avoiding Los. Bubbys stock w/cwm, rogue stock, chris41g's new stock kernel...all would be fine to flash in cwm after you've installed a rom, I would suggest calks rom, or starburst as they are both compatible with ICS theme and are updated regularly

Better yet, just wait on the real ICS port being worked on. I tried the themed launchers and they were ok, but there's nothing like the real thing baby.
HI, I have a rooted EL29 version Epic 4g Touch, I like the touchwiz stock rom but wanted ICS theme is there any way to get it without actually putting on a custom rom ?
The ROM has to be deodexed for the theme to work or else it would be bootloop of hell. Might as well flash a custom ROM to avoid problems.

Try posting in the correct section next time http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1300
You could always flash a stock rooted custom ROM, such as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429243 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
Stock EL29 Kernel with CWM to flash the theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24014670&postcount=2
Is this what you're looking for, it's for builds EL13-EL29 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528063
Hey guys. It would be nice if someone can make this. I kinda got tired of aosp roms. Would be nice if somebody can make a stock tw 4.0.4 rom with the Skyrocket icons and 4g icon. (which looks a lot better than the tw tmobile one) With Beats app included, S3 TW launcher as a optional. V6 script. And a lot of goodies like Build.prop tweaks. etc etc. Its been a while since somebody comes with a TW rom and even with a SK port rom.
Take a look at Jedi Knight V3.....

:good:
i am working on a 4.0.4 stock ROM (UVLH1). I will keep you updated on the progress.
I wanted to know if I accept the stock jb update do I need to unroot? If I dont need to unroot can I flash a jb rom on top of the stock jb from sprint? Also if im not feeling jb too much would it be hard to go back to ics? I was on jb before with cm10 but it had alot of bugs. So I flashed an ics rom (strong steve odexed blue rom) to get back to 4.0. Since ill be on the stock jb would it be that easy to go back to ics from stock jb?
show me something worth my attention
Why not fash the JellyBean iteration of Odexed Blue, v1.2? It's an excellent JB ROM, and it's based on stock.
ROM - strongsteve's Odexed Blue LJ7 JB 1.2 Holy Grail
Baseband - LJ7
Kernel - Agat's custom TW JB v0.3.2

If you want stock, yes, you'll need to unroot, as the OTA requires stock recovery. Additionally, you'd be better off flashing a jellybean tw rom; as they're all based off official stock now. Just make a backup and flash.

I know it can be confusing, so it is best to flash kernel recommended by rom owner.
But, i can try to explain:
There are two (2) type of roms:
-Stock (based on sony's firmware)
-Aosp (or aokp, cm or miui)
So, you have Stock gb and ics, but no Stock jb.
For Aosp based roms, you have cm7 as gb based, cm9 as ics based and cm10 as jb based (i don't know what is miui based on)
To be able to boot rom, you need kernel that match type of rom you want to install.
Some version of kernels can boot dual type roms:
Example:
1: ics/gb Stock - can boot ics and gb roms based on Stock firmware
2: ics/gb cm - can boot ics and gb based on aosp ics gb roms
3:lupus v8 jb can boot Aosp jb and Aosp ics roms, and MAYBE that's the
kernel you are searching.
The best way is to search in kernels thread based on rom you want to install

I didn't flash recently any miui roms, do they have kernel inside the rom's zip file? Or was it inside cm roms?

dude, that makes a lot of sense, ever since i installed the kernel that i mentioned earlier i have been having random issues with some custom roms
usun lupus ics v12 720 on verizon xperia play
Gin2jelly bean rom is not recognized by my computer and wom was amazing but i dont like when developers put too much apps in it . i guess the problem was the kernel i am using
ICE CREAM PURENESS : laggiest thing ever, dont know why
[ROM][GSM] Gamer 4 [Ultimate Sony experience], this rom i wanted to install because it has on screen softkey buttons. so i could use those instead of the hardware one, but have to uninstall because the didnt appear on screen and has lots of apps.
SLIMBEAN: WELL I COULDNT INSTALL IT AND KERNEL KEPT ON BOOTING LIKE CRAZY.
NOW I AM BACK WITH THE BEST ICS ROM IN MY OPINION THE TRUE ANCESTOR FINAL EDITION, WHICH I LOVE BUT IT DOESNT HAVE THE SOFTKEY BUTTONS
but now that you clarify this i might try to flash a jelly bean kernel since google claims that jellybean is the one to beat lag.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR REPLYING.
greetings from a real newbie
Well, just to add, if you want gaming perfomance, use gb roms. Ics is stable these days, but little slower then gb in gaming. Jb is only Aosp based, it's good in gaming, but some things are still "work in progress".
Ps: we where all noobs at some point
Ask whatever you want (just do not ask for ETA)

what does ETA mean? see i am a noob xD
ICSNEO2PLAY thats what i read at the end of all your posts, i assume you use that rom
TELL ME ABOUT THAT ROM, IT SEEMS THAT I CAN ALREADY INSTALL IT SINCE I HAVE AN ICS KERNEL.
DOES IT HAVE ON SCREEN BACK HOME AND TASK BUTTONS?

Eta is asking when something will come out. Neo2play is the Rom that he made and its in his Signature that's why you see it in all his posts. That rom doesn't haven't screen buttons but it does give you lots of choice in what you use to fully customize your phone through aroma installer. It should work if you have an ics kernel but it has to be a stock ics kernel not aosp. If your using true ancestor then that means neo2play should work on the sane kernel
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
True ancestor rom, as my rom also, is based on Stock ics for Neo L (since that phone have exactly same hardware as play, minus touchpafs). My rom came out later, but i modded it more, and put aroma installer with bunch of rom options (gamers like less things installed, casual gamers sacrifice ram for the sake of extra stuff).
Some roms have osb (on screen buttons), but you'll have to search for it.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
If you really want osb then you can use markphytons nxt ics revolution rom. He removed it from xda but you can probably find a link for it somewhere in q&a section
