[Q] GB rom with customisation tweaks - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I like Sense, be it 3, 3,5 or 4.0. I guess it's all down to preference.
I really like the smoothness of Ice Cold Sandwich but I miss not having Sense there. Annoying I know.
I appreciate Sense is a bloat, probably means any ICS (or even JB) release with Sense is going to end up being pretty sluggish pushing the ram usage to the limits.
Gingerbread with Sense runs super smooth, the Revolution rom is awesome. However I'm looking for a Sense based rom that has tweaks such as customizing the status bar along the top. I appreciate there are mods that can change the overall looks of a rom, but I really feel daunted and feel like I would be pushing my luck flashing mods, changing themes etc.
Is there a GB/Sense rom that has a tweaks package that changes certains parts of the framework such as the status bar? I prefer the % battery look rather than the generic HTC look.

One of the Virtuous Roms like Virtuous Affinity.

[Q] any way to make a franken rom?

what i mean is, take bits of different roms into 1?
e.g the miui drop down menu (shortcuts to data/wifi etc etc) as well as it's awesome lock screen, the recently used program shortcuts in the sense HD roms and mix it together with a fast rom like oxygen?
i always miss 1 aspect of another rom. right now i use miui simply cos it has 2 of my fav rom unique features although i want to go back to oxygen as it's faster imo.

it is possible, but problem is alot of the roms you want to take bits out of have very diffrent frameworks. miui although aosp, is very diffent to other aosp roms like oxygen, and sence elements like the shortcuts on the drop down menu are near impossible to implement on aosp roms because they require the htc framework. maybe if you learnt to use one of the excellent android kitchens you may be able to get close to the type of rom you want
i use the UOT to get the bootanim changed and my preferred power icons etc, but there's no option in it to get stuff like the miui features added to oxygen

[Q] Will someone..

Make a sense 2.1 based rom or theme, that has the gingerbread notification bar instead of the lame sense one?
A theme would be easier and nice, this is the only thing keeping me from going back to sense.
PLEASSSSSE

[Q] themes to use with unnamed ROM?

I recently installed the unnamed ROM on my phone, and I really do like it. However, i'm not a fan of the default touch wiz interface. I flashed an ice cream sandwich theme over it and I lost the extended toggles that came with the ROM...I really liked those toggles I was wondering if there's a mod I could get so I could flash the toggles over the theme to get them back.I've searched for one but to no avail. Also, this is a long shot but the transitions with the unnamed ROM are a lot nicer then the transitions with over stews Ics theme (ironically the ROM is using Ics transitions) . Is there a way to flash the theme and keep the Rom transition.
A completely ddifferent choice would be to flash blazers rom which comes with an ice theme packaged in. Is blazers rom comparable to unnamed? From what ive heard it has a lot of bugs and isn't the greatest on battery. what's everyone's opinion?

It's ok I have done a few things in there - I have a ICS theme that I run on my phone. Pics are up in the thread... This mod also have
Code:
ICS animations
AutoBrightness reduction
NoClock in Taskbar Mod
Themed Original UnNamed Quick Menu
5 Row Launcher with ICS theme
ICS 2.0 Camera Mod
ICS Dialer and Contacts
CRT off Animation
Link Is Here
If you want anything let me know just post in that thread and I will respond...

The missing link ROM..

Tried all of these ROMs, still have a few more to try for any not listed..
AOKP
CM10.1
PAC man
Paranoid Android
Hyperdrive
Chemistry
Goodness
TN Superior
AOSPA
TW stock/rooted slightly modded
Haven't tried;
Carbon
Helly Bean
JellyBomb (don't like the dark theming)
Liquid Smooth
Avatar (link broken as of this post)
MIUI (never been a fan)
Blackbean
Slim
fre3 (seems promising, just not gotten to it yet)
Anything I missed (man there are a ton of ROMs for SIII, I love it and hate it at the same time)
Now to the point; I feel like there's a gap in the ROMs, I like CM10.1 and AOKP, but I miss the TW launcher..and on TW ROMS I miss the ROM control/quickpanel style settings/notification menu. Also, would love to have the Hybrid settings and the multiview setup, NoteII camera..so far I have liked Goodness the best because it does have the TW style settings menu with some tweaks, but it is missing the AOSP style notifications window.
Ideal ROM, at least for me would include-
TW launcher with modded notifications/settings menu (or AOSP launcher with TW abilities added in, probably easier, like touching and rotating the device from lockscreen to access camera, auto-call when viewing contacts and putting the phone to your ear, Stay awake with eye-awareness, flip to mute, tilt-to-zoom and tilt-to-scroll function when dragging icons among others)
Quickpanel notifications menu and CM-style alarm clock/calender in notifications window with CM-style quick toggles
AOSP JB/ICS theme, don't like TW theme and most third-party themes are tacky to my eye
NoteII apps like SNote and Camera/gallery
S Voice
ROM Control/Navbar/Advanced options (clock location, battery bar, navigation, touchkey backlight toggle, home-button wake toggle)
Added lockscreens from other devices (particularly like the Optimus G lockscreen)
Status bar brightness (not the slider/toggle but the sweep motion)
SBeam and other NFC apps/options
MULTIVIEW
Hybrid options (Tablet UI, Phablet, etc)
Volume button music control
Ability to put folders in the dockbar, create multiple docks\
Screen transitions
Then you could add other things as needed, sound fixes/mods (AC!D or Xloud, VOODOO WOULD BE GREAT I MISS IT, I know Supercurio was working on it last I checked), Kernel tweaks, OC/UV/GOV, theming options, Xperia engine if desired, anything I can't think of now.
In my eyes, if this could be done, that would be the ideal ROM..right now, as of all the ones I have tried, I like half of it and dislike the other half- I feel things are missing. GB touchwiz on the Epic4G never did much for me, but I really like the newer TW options and miss them in AOSP ROMs, likewise, I dislike the lack of options in TW ROMs and miss my CM10.1 on the Epic when I can't do something simple like change the LED color/action, go straight to my alarms from the quickpanel, slide over the status bar to adjust brightness, etc.
Any ideas/questions/comments?

And you missed TPR on the list...very insulted. J/K
Basically from what I read, you want all the touchwiz functions with the AOSP software looks and such. Its not impossible, but it would take a lot of work to port touchwiz to AOSP.

I know nothing about developing or anything like that so maybe someone can answer this: Then how come it's so easy (there are a million off em) for devs to make ROMs with a combo of any of: CM10.1 features, AOSP features, AOKP features, Paranoid Android features... why do we see so many ROMs like that then?! But no TouchWiz features+AOSP features ROM... confuses me what the diff is lol..
I am using Goodness right now. I cannot remember exactly what the AOSP notification window looks like but there is an AOSP theme for Goodness under the Goodness Updater -> Themes -> AOSP Theme
It changes many of the app icons as well as skins on things like the Phone. There are also many other themes and mods under the updater.

This is because TouchWiz, Sense, and all those proprietary rom types are customized by the manufacturers and rely on specific frameworks files for each (HTC roms have the Sense framework, Samsung has the Touchwiz framework, etcetera)
First let me clarify something, CM (all versions) and ParanoidAndroid (its built off of CM) are both AOSP
Now AOSP, AOKP, and ParanoidAndroid (AOSP w/ a DPI engine) are all similar in that they dont have frameworks files that are super specific to their rom type, or not AS specific and specialized that it takes a lot of work to combine them, so its easier to get features from one working on another because theres no need for any (or not a lot of) intermediate frameworks
Lol Kenny my bad..but there's only one question mark in my thread haha I thought it was general discussion since I don't really need help with anything..
But I'm using goodness right now which has most of what I want, I do miss the chronus app and I imported the sounds from cyan, and I do miss the led controls..goodness with nova launcher and the right combination of mods works quite well for me at the moment. Sorry I missed TPR, BTW that should be added to the list of ROMs I have tried
I made a splash screen for that ROM on the epic remember? Lol

Yeah, pretty much...best of both worlds?
Too good to be true...
Sounds like Avatar ROM is pretty much what you're looking for.
Miui toggles, Touch wiz launcher and minor Tw features, aosp based ROM. Give it a shot. Was just updated yesterday.
I would try it, but the download links seem to be broken still..

Implementing extra features

Hello,
First of all i would like to thank the developers of the roms mentioned in this post for their work, all three roms are awesome and i do not mean to offend anybody by this post.
I have an idea to combine three of my favorite roms, as every one of them has something that the other two are missing, my question to the community is : how to do it?
All these roms run on android 4.0.4 so i hope that it is doable
Namely I would like to have
-camera and especially camcoder functionality from andromeda, <since camcoders are usually broken in most roms i suppose this one will be too difficult to do>
-overall look, especially the low profile cancel/confirm buttons and status bar with drop down menu and settings widget from andromeda,
-automatic brightness control from aokp ics milestone v6(the one where you can adjust your own settings for each lux value),
-trackpad2wake from nikez lente ics
-long press back to kill app
I would like to implement these features into milestone or nikez lente rom since they are more stable than andromeda.
I do not need a complete solution just some pointers on where to look for files responsible for these features and how to apply them into the rom zip file so that it would all work together.
