Ok, I decided to start this thread in order for these roms to get better. It's not just a question of who's the best but this thread aims to provide both groups with users expreriences in order for their roms to get better. In order for us to do that we need to state our:
** likes for each rom
** dislikes
** battery life
** other bugs
** suggestions
If you ask why I choose those to roms, it's just because they're my two favorites. Respect to all devs here us their work is simly amazing. Thread starts while AOKP is on build 3 and CNA on 3.6 release.
The only thing that I hate about aokp is their notification toggles. It doesnt fit at all!! (In the JB statusbar) while the power widget from cm10 fits like google put it in. So if aokp redisigns their toggles it would be nice.

CNA has an unroot option in the menu. Personally I prefer to have an unrooted device, but I like the customization of the ROM. It can be the best of both worlds.

See the toggles are what I love about aokp. I know I'm in the minority. Those toggles are stock jelly bean toggles just FYI.

same here, those toggles are my favorite, that power widget is the first thing i get rid of - i think it's an eyesore.
I was on CNA and its good but missing some features that I like in AOKP & CM10. Like the cm10 percentage battery and Led options like in aokp Also the navbar soft key customization. The main thing I noticed about CNA that I didn't like was, receiving text messages is slow, it takes a long time to get a text from the person. The only other ROM to be slow with receiving SMS was MIUI jellybean.

I just flashed TeamBAMF and coming from AOKP I am missing a couple features and was curious if there is a way to mod these things myself or if youre only able to change what features the ROM has been developed to allow. The thinkgs I want to do aree:
change the soft key layoutshrink
the size of the softkey icons
move the clock to the center
replace battery icon with just a number
Just realized i posted this in wrong place, can a mod please move to Q&A?
The first 2 are extremely easy to do, the second 2 not so much. I can't really help you with the latter but I can help you with the first 2. I'm on BAMF now and have already made a couple navmods for it.
so for the first 2 how did you do it?

Can you hide navigation bar in this rom? I have battery issues in AOKP but my problem is with customization in AOKP. I can't find them in other roms. Codename is best rom for battery and performance. I just want navbar hide option and I will move back to Codename rom.

I'm looking for a lockscreen with more options like what's available in some roms. Basically looking for more shortcuts and battery percentage. I know about widgetlocker but it doesn't work as nicely as a built in lockscreen .
Also looking for notification toggles. Again I know some roms have them but I want to try something different.

For Lockscreens the best option is a Custom ROM (AOKP) it has battery %, Octo Screen with 8 customisable shortcuts and icons.
for Notification toggles try Widgetsoid from the market. Can be customised a lot.
Thanks but I've tried aokp and it hasn't been totally stable for me, plus some lag. I want to try a lighter rom like redemption but I think I'd miss out on the lockscreen and toggles.

Can someone please help me out with how to get an authentic ICS looking status bar... I am also looking to get the wifi arrows to show inside the wifi icon. When i try to replace the pics myself, for some reason, the arrows are pushed off to the side of the wifi icon, and again I am trying to get them in the middle. Can someone please point me to the best resource? thanks in advance.
What ROM you using? If its Darkside, try Phoenix6's theme.
Also this thread is for themes and apps, not Q&A of themes,

The Aosp theme is what you're looking for. Foreverloco has added versions for infamous and he also posted a version for chicago in the thread.

True, but for those that would like to use tw roms because of wifi calling which is the only reason I might go back or any other reasons that aokp or cm9 just doesn't do it for them this theme makes it look just right. And even though I'm on aokp at the moment I have to admit the toggles and pull down menu on this theme did look a lot better.
So has development of TW ROMs stopped? Is there not any mods or tweaks left to make a unique TW ROM? I'm kind of getting bored of having the same styled ROMs because honestly all CM based ROMs are pretty much the same because of the fact that they are all CM based obviously. It was nice having TW and CM7. Then getting CM9 and CM10 and now CM10.1 but it seems that all the ROMs have the same basic settings and themes.
Avatar ROM was a little different and I liked it but not too much different since its also CM10.1 based. What I'm really looking for is a TW ROM with all the mods that they're used to be like the lockscreens and clock position in status bar and all the little things that made TW ROMs better. Do any of those even exist anymore for any phone?

You not so satisfied with The People's and Legacy? I don't use them but they still seem popular after all this time.
And why not take time to theme and mod CM ROMs yourself? Themes, lockscreen mods, launchers and widgets are scattered around for you to revamp the experience. Personally I don't like non-AOSP style, but to imitate a GS3 I downloaded a "GS3-Addon", did a bit modification to it and flashed upon a CM10 nightly, which in the end turned out to be REALLY, REALLY similar experience to the real TouchWiz 5!
Just saying, you can try similar tricks yourself, though it takes some time

Could you post a screenshot of your TW 5? I'd like to see how close you've gotten. And your right about all that but I'm honestly just missing the good old TW ROMs that had amazing battery life and many tweaks and themes and stuff. I used to theme TW ROMs and worked on a few mods and I was doing pretty good but that was last summer. Since I started college I haven't really had much free time to work on that kind of stuff.

Not SO close actually TW-specific apps are mostly missing. But apps like S Note, Super Video (floating video player on S3), TW5 launcher and widgets are all there. More I can't remember.
I'll post screenshots 2 days later as we're having tests these days and my E4G is currently on CM10.1 so I have to restore the nandroid backup.

Its cool don't worry about the screenshots.
Do you know a way to get the lockscreen on cm10.1 to be like it was on 10 and 9? I mean to have the rings with the shortcuts before the actual unlock pattern? Is there a way to change that? I wanna start working on my ROM to make it the way I actually want.

It's not there in CM10.1, I checked.

@lilajrestnom Hey I have an idea. Settings - Lockscreen - check "Maximize widgets". In this way you'll have to long press the lock icon on the bottom of the screen to bring up the lock security, which I think is just what you want. This is tested to work with "pattern" lock security.

Ya I've done that and that's the closest I can get to what I actually want. I really just wanted the real rings before the pattern lock but it seems like that's the best I can do for now thanks tho.

For those of you who've tried the Google edition Roms for the M919, you know that these are some of the best ways to enjoy a stable 4.3 Nexus-like experience on our phone. I personally enjoy the VirginRom, thanks to it's stability and also the patience and kindness of its developer, Mr. Virginia (check out his thread in Dev section).
My question is, what apps or mods do people use to enhance the Nexus experience on these Roms. For example, what app is good for adding notification toggles? Is there a mod for changing quick settings? Etc. Thanks.

For quick toggles, get widgetsoid, change it to black and put notification icon to none and you have a touchwiz/jb like status bar

Cool, I'll check widgetsoid out. Haven't used it since Froyo. I was using Settings Extended, simple and nice looking. But maybe Widgetsoid allows for larger toggles.
Too bad stock Android doesn't allow for Quick Settings customization, like CM 10.1 and CM 10.2. It just makes sense.
