Hey guys. I just flashed to the latest UnNamed ROM and I was wondering if there were any themes out there that are compatible with it. I really hate the default android green color.

If you try mine please let me know if they work??
Venum,
I have your minimal theme for the unnamed, mostly black and white, and loving it.
Thanks, some fine work.

green to blue
All I really want is to change the green system color to blue (or purple or pink lol). I hate that android green color. Would be nice to have a transparent notification dropdown too.
I love the icons in the power button menu and in the settings and that is my problem. Most themes are like super themes that change everything. I really just want to change the green stuff like the download bar, highlights in the extended notification...and so on.
Maybe this can be a challenge for someone. LOL I will keep hoping.
Hey venum, if I change my avatar to a chick's face will you help me with compiling?? Haha

Hahaha awesome.
If anyone has an update on some cool themes for the UnNamed Rom for the Epic 4g Touch please let me know, I've tried a couple but I want to change it up a bit more with different themes, though I haven't really seen many themes, around two.
Love this rom....and I don't want to ditch it for for some other rom bc of the lack of themes

Apparently, most of the current themes out there work on UnNamed.

You will loose most of the UnNamed custom edits if you flash any of the themes out there. None of them are made especially for UnNamed. Check the UnNamed Goodies thread in themes and apps for a few things you may like.
Like playya said... I have found that most of all the themes work. Sometimes causing modificaions of the rom itself... I WAS using Unnamed with a combination of the ICS theme made for Blazer and some add on made for another rom.. All worked fine. But i got tired of all the "blue" color, so i flashed back to regular unnamed with rogue " gunslinger "... Nice colors.. Great batt life and 5000+ quadrent score @1400-200 LAZY...

alright thank you for the replies!!
Eh, still kinda confused. I went to the themes section in the E4GT section. I see themes, but a lot of them say they work only on some specific roms. Should I still try them and see if they work? I'm worried about messing up my phone. :/
Okay, so I just themed my phone. Once it restarted, it said I had an update...so I restarted it like it told me to do. But the little android guy with the triangle and ! mark in the triangle came up....
what gives?
please help if no one is too busy :/

You are on a custom ROM, and Sprint was unable to update your phone because of that. Not that you want to update the stock ROM considering you installed a custom ROM in the 1st place...

Honestly every theme out there will work as long as it's not for a source the too different from yours (eg. EK02 rom using and EL29 theme). The worst that can happen with some themes, especially with UnNamed's rom, is that you'll lose certain functionalities. For instance, using suwu10's red or blue themes will cause you to lose the scrolling toggles in the drop down notification bar.
Other than that everything will be pretty much the same. Keep in mind that it will replace your rom's apk's with the themed apk's from whatever rom that theme was built for. So if you like say, the mms app from UnNamed, you'll want to delete it out of the theme's .zip before flashing.
Does anyone want to form a team for MIUI porting? The ROM I have is working almost flawlessly, missing just signal. Everything else works (as far as I know). Anyone willing to help?
By the way, for helping me progress thus far, I couldn't have done it without xboxfanj. I'm a noob and am just getting the hang of this, hence, xboxfanj helped with most of this stuff.
MIUI is an awesome ROM allowing customizable themes that can change literally everything. You can change the status bar, lockscreen, home screen, and more all in just one app called themes. Plus, the ROM is super fast and has a lot of toggles, and much more to come with the help needed. Please, this ROM is one of my favorites, if you guys can help, it is much appreciated.
I can't help, but I'm curious as to what base you're using..CM or TouchWiz?

You are incorrect in your answer, it's already been done. So, my question still stands to the OP. As far as I know, patchrom currently only works with ICS however. Maybe you have sources beyond mine. Here's something to look into though. https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom

i think patchrom is to build from the miui source and might use some things from say sense or tw to fix things like wifi camera etc.. idk but ive never heard of miui built with a tw base. When i had a Epic 4g touch they said we first needed a cm7 rom in order to begin making a miui rom.

ah i see actually he just bundled some apps from tw like back when i had a galaxy nexus they had a touchwiz theme that included the launcher and s voice and some widgets. he said that he wanted to add some sammy features to miui so he did lol see tw roms use a different framework and most apps wouldnt work on miui however some people have taken there time to port over launchers and apps and put them there roms.
its like the opposite of putting https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5taXVpLm1paG9tZTIiXQ.. on a touchwiz rom
They have touchwiz based miui on the international note 2, and the at&t note 2. I had it running on my sprint note 2 the other day, but was unable to get the radios to function properly. I had signal, but couldnt select the network I wanted it on and apns werent fuctioning properly. Miui v4 is supposed to be based on stock rom, not aosp, its just easier to port aosp than incorporate it into stock.

I used CM beta (before alpha 1). xboxfanj helped me get partial signal working. There was 3g at first, but then something about sim card activation came up, and then i pressed dismiss..and well.. that made me lose signal. After that I got signal but with emergency calls only.

(To reply to what you were saying in the post)
Indeed we do have a starting point. However, I used the updated version of MIUI for the int'l model to port. It's literally almost done. Only flaw is signal as far as I can see at the moment.
If I remember correctly, aren't all of the Note 2's basically the same thing with the exception of the modems and Networks? (GSM vs CDMA?) Isn't the International version using GSM?

I had that issue before, but I decided to undo the changes and just stick to emergency calls only at the moment. However, I didn't use the aosp version. It's not as easy as just changing stuff. Once you do so, another problem will occur. It's so annoying >.< That's why I've asked to form a team. I have 2 others so far. Xboxfanj and lbxmobbin & they do great work. We're literally almost done.. But don't ask for an ETA, just know that it's coming VERY VERY soon.

Alright, I am not saying that its bad. I have been flashing custom roms for last 3-4 yrs now but on my prevous phone it made sense since it was stuck on Gingerbread. The custom roms gave me 4.2.2 which was hell of a jump. But with note 2 .. all the custom features that are built in stock roms are pretty much gone with flashing custom roms. I see these as going backwards. The spen functionality is completely gone. Yes, you can install some custom apps but they dont have the same features as the stock. Also the sensor features, built in browser, multi window .. all are gone. I have been using paranoid 3.1 for about 2 months now and didnt really see any difference.. other than the tablet mode which is neat but nothing useful per se. pie controls were hard to use, and pretty buggy. Would disappear every now n then. Its fancy but not practical.
So now my question is.. whats are some of the key features that you are missing in stock and you get in custom that you are willing to let go of some useful features in stock? I am definitely missing something here and would like to learn from you..
I am thinking of going back to stock and rooting it ..

Sounds like you meant to ask why flash a AOSP rom not just a "custom rom" because most tw roms still have all the functionality you are saying is lost. To answer your question that is the great thing about Android. ..choice you have the choice to install it or not.

You can tell very easily first off by the screenshots aosp and tw do not look the same. Secondly with aosp you have to flash gapps. Third they are in two seperate forums. That is just a few of the many ways you can tell.

If you see mention of a firmware revision like ma7 or LJC, then you're dealing with a Twiz rom.
However with AOSP roms... The spen does work in its basic capability.

Because Paranoid Android & Tablet Mod are the best thing to happen to this Note! Also because "Whoomp" Rom is based on stock but much better because it gives you options. However I do understand your criticism, whats different this time is "Touch Jizz" doesn't suck as bad as previous versions and its actually becoming a bit of a highlight with its built in features.
However we will always want to flash roms because like beautiful women "there's always someone tired of F_____g them"! Something new even if isn't superior!:good:

Hi Guys,
Been an HTC guy, all my Android life. Thinking of picking up my first Sammy with the Sprint's version of Note 2. Just had a couple of questions about software and ROMs:
1. Are you guys expecting a Port or Updates from the new S4, coming to the Note 2? If so, when? Or if they've been ported already, can someone point me to the ROM or mods for those?
2. Been familiar with Sense and AOKP/CM10.1 for some time now. Never used TouchWiz. What are most of you driving with here? TouchWiz light and snappy enough with balance of pretty to be used as your Daily Driver, or are you guys AOKP kinda guys here as well? Either way, can you make some ROM recommendations for a new guy? I'd like to experience the Sammy experience, before moving on to AOKP, if possible?
Any other tips you can give me before I switch? I will be switching from an EVO LTE with CarbonROM running on it. Thank you for your time.
It's pretty much a 50/50 when it comes between TouchWiz or AOSP. There is already an s4 system dump.
For Rom recommendations I would suggest if you want TouchWiz stay on stock that's my opinion. And if you want AOSP is suggest CyanogenMod.
PAC rom is good too but for me I love simplicity. So that's why I'm currently on stock right now or CyanogenMod

I was an HTC guy before coming to Sammy. I can say I wasn't all that thrilled with Touchwiz, compared to Sense.
I ended up ditching Touchwiz for Nova Launcher and a couple extra widget paks (HD widgets for clock and Android Pro Widgets for Timeline aka Friendstream and Contact favorites).
I am very happy with this combination.

I was the same at first, but in the long run, I actually Prefer TW to Sense. By miles. Stock TW is (usually, with perhaps a small bit of configuring) faster, and makes more intuitive sense (haha).
AOSP is of course loverly, but TW has a few features w/o totally obscuring Android that I think are ok, even worth it.
Thank you everyone for the response guys!
Just was wondering that I should try out TW for a bit, since I have never used it daily before. The gimmicky features from Sammy on the S4 though... like the Camera app and gestures and eyes thing for scrolling... do you guys think those will be/can be ported to the N2?
Thanks again for everyone's input... getting excited! Just not sure if the N2 will be too much of a phone for me to hold LOL!

Those are coming to our device either this month or next month. And before this device, I as a big time rooter, but I say stay stock, it has everything you could ever need.

I too switched from HTC for 3 years.. And I can say I haven't been happier!!! Tw does take some getting used to after sense, but none the less its every bit as good as sense IMO... If I want a tweaked stock tw ROM, I suggest checking out the lab rats ROM.. Its pretty cartoonish stock, but the updater is chocked full of themes and different apps. Its been an amazing ROM. I used to be a flashaholic til the rats came my way. Not to mention they gotta be the friendliest, goofiest, most entertaining group of devs I've seen yet and as for requests, if its possible its usually pretty quick turnaround and they enjoy all they do probably even more than we do!!! Give it a shot and I can almost bet you will keep coming back to the lab!! Of course this is just my opinion, but there are many more who share it!! As well as, of course, some that don't..

Everyone,
Thank you for your wonderful responses. I just brought home the N2 and it's a MONSTER !!! LOL!
I do want to stay TW for a bit though... so can you guys recommend the most UP TO DATE, and MOST CUSTOMIZEABLE TW ROM with hopefully the LEAST about of bugs and MOST amount of speed? (LOL! I know, talk about Eutopian demands, right !?)
An example of that ^ from the EVO LTE world is Team Venom's ROM...
I will Root though,because I need apps like Titanium Backup to fully set me up on the new device...
Thank you again for all your help! Looking forward to loving the Sammy world !
And oh, for the folks saying that GS4 camera and other features are coming to N2... do you think there will be some features that will NOT work on the N2 for Hardware or Kernel (firmware) issues? Thanks again!

What ROM can you recommend that's kinda Stock, debloated, keeps the original spirit of Stock at it's heart, with performance enhancements?
Is Synergy a good one?
Also... what's the later build? M7 or something after that? I am forgetting the name right now ...

Hey sparytrainor,
Thank you for your response. Per your recommendation, I tried the Lab Rats ROM, but found a NUMBER of issues with them:
1. I didn't like the annoying PnB Bootanimation, and tried changing it via their built Customization app, but it just booted into Recovery and did nothing ...
2. The kept prompting an update, annoying
3. Flashlight toggle didn't work
Just seemed way too customized to me, without a whole lot of value for those changes.
I am now trying Stock MC2, Rooted and DeOdexed, but I can't seem to boot in. TWRP says, it needs to fix Root permissions at the end of the flash and in both cases (Fix or Not), the phone reboots and sits at the Samsung GN II screen...? Am I missing some firmware requirements here?
When I get that ROM going, I hope to debloat it with TB, and find ways to tweak it a bit, like find a Battery mod or something maybe...?
Thanks again for everyone reading my thread!

OK, in the updater, go into settings and select reboot type and select the recovery u use. This will fix the reboot and install not working.
Also there are fixes in the updater for all the other issue u mentioned with the ROM other than the flashligt , which I use one from the play store anyway..
Check out the updater website for previews of the mods and themes.
http://updater.team-nocturnal.com/labrats/
And as for the other issue, mine says it needs to fix root sometimes as well, but I swipe to fix and everything goes fine. If you didn't update to mc2, u may need to. Here's a link for that as well..

Good luck to u.. Happy flashing and enjoy your new favorite phone!!!

Thank you again, friend, that seems to have worked !
Couple of follow up questions:
1. In the LabRats ROM, if your Swipe to Capture function working?
2. Is there a "safe list" available for the apps I can uninstall to de-bloat?
3. If you run into a faster, less bulky ROM, please share with me , thanks!
Actually that goes for everyone else, as well. Please share your thoughts and inputs if you happen to have some cool ROM recommendations for TW ROMs that are the lightest and the fastest an least buggy !
Thanks guys!
You'd have to search around for a list of what can and can't be removed.. Or u can do like I did and make a backup so if u remove something that breaks the ROM, u can restore ur backup in twrp and be right back where u started..
Swipe to capture has to be turned on in settings. By default it is off.. I used it to take this screenshot for u..
As for a debloated ROM, you might do well with nowiz aosp in development section..can't get much more debloated than that..

Couple of questions bro:
1. What's the eye icon in your screen shot in the notification bar? I never get that...
2. What theme are you using? Link to that theme and other cool ones like it? (I love Red themes )
3. As for the swipe to screen, I've had the right settings enabled, but for the life of me, I cannot get that feature to work ... Even tried it on a friend's stock GS3, nothing. Saw videos on YouTube as well, mimicking the same thing, still no go ... wonder what's up?
As always, much appreciate your kindness and help !
We can help a lot more if you post in our lab rats thread.
I removed about as much as I could without complaints. I personally would remove more, but I wanted to keep the users happy. I would remove s voice, email, calender, Google search, Google now, voice recorder, and voice search. Themes are in the updater and screen shots are on our Web site. All PATB can be removed via the updater.
The eye is smart stay that you must turn on. Flashlight works perfectly fine for everyone else as well as swipe to capture.
Thank you sparytrainor!

So I tried out LiquidSmooth's ROM for the GN2. LIked it, but had some issues. The one feature I really really liked was the 4.2 Camera... it had some really nice (and a lot of) focusing features. Due to some issues and the wifi voip calling not working as I thought it would, I had to flash out and went to Tweaked 2.5 and really like it. I flashed the new 4.2 Camera, but it has almost NO functionality that the 4.2 camera with Liquid had...
So, are there two different 4.2 cameras? and where can I get the fully loaded one with all the nice options?

The one in the tweaked installer is the Google Edition one that people started posting a while back - not sure how that measures up to what gets put into custom aosp roms to be honest.

I did not use the Aroma installer... I did it exactly how the instructions and the video said to, but it was different on my phone -- I have CWM recovery and I installed the first zip, got the lil TWEAKED animation, then without anything else I flashed the ROM, asked for a few options but not the nice fancy screen, and that was that. Overall way easier than the video even made it sound... Can I get back INTO that to flash the camera or do I have to completely wipe and flash again?

DL the modificatinator - pretty much has all the options from the main install stuff but you can pick and choose which ones without reflashing everything.
