im thinking of going back to touchwiz, but i absolutely can't stand the notification drawer.. are there any roms that are close to AOSP in that sense?
what i wish were gone are:
1. the thin clear button (the least important factor, don't really mind too much if this can't be changed)
2. ugly gray lines between the each of the notifications
3. how some notifications don't show an icon (ie: in AOSP, no icon notifications usually show up with as a blank square with turquoise color)
thanks!
also, does anyone know where i can get a touchwiz launcher for AOSP? (including the stock samsung icons just for the dock?

At the end of your post you said you were looking for a touchwiz launcher

I really like my first impressions with this new ROM.
1. After the initial install I switched over to launcher pro and lost the transparency
in the notification bar. Is there any way to get this back?
2. I am running the Koush test kernel. I have done quite a bit of research to try and find the perfect kernel combination, but there seems to be a lot of debate. I am obviously looking for speed and battery life coupled with the ability to listen to music while the screen is off without any skipping.
3. This is probably just a matter of time until this happens, but is there an alternate theme that changes all the menu's from white to black?
4. Are there any known battery notification skins that are compatible with MIUI? Looking for a circle battery icon.
Sorry for the list.

Warning: I'm a complete noob... so someone should confirm.
But from what I read on launcher pro's forums, LP doesn't extend the wallpaper through the area where the notification bar is. Is your bar black when you set to completely transparent?

I couldn't even find a setting for transparency of the notification bar.
If you are running launcher Pro... menu to prefs to appearance settings to dock background

that changes the dock and not the notification bar
From what I've seen of ICS, it doesn't look like the power bar is part of the notification tray, which is something most oems are doing. Do I honestly need a custom ics rom just to have this essential feature?
huh? the battery indicator is right where its always been...

At a guess, I'd say he's talking about the Power Control widget thing, which, for example, Samsung have incorporated into the notification shade in touchwiz.

There is a shortcut to the settings but no individual toggles. You'll need to do an additional screen press I'm affraid.

I dont understand why they dont include it in the notification bar.....and dont forget that in Nexus we did not have the option to delete homescreens...there are 5 screens by default.

Im sure the cyanogenmod team will fix that rather quickly.
there are apps that add those toggles in the notification bar like elixer2 and widgetsoid if not mistaken

There are, but they're not quite the same.
Nevertheless. Either Cyanogenmod or a modified Framework.apk should be able to fix this easily once you have unlocked/rooted your phone.
There are several good notification toggle apps in the market that behave just like CM7 style. I even have one running on my stock android Honeycomb tablet.
Those Samsung toggles aren't stock thus wont be included, but there will be workarounds pretty quickly.

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
I just wanted to know if there were any ROMs like MIUI in the aspect of customizability, I love the way MIUI changes absolutely everything about everything, such as the settings menu and lockscreen, pretty much ever menu out there, I just want my sgs3 to stand out you know? I want to know if there are any other ROMs similar that change the phone completely, I would use MIUI but it is too similar with IOS, no app drawer and such, thanks in advance! Please no trolling, I have looked around and couldn't seem to find any. Cheers!

Might I suggest giving this one a try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684
[ROM] AOKP(Jellybean)Task & Ktoonsez (10/9) (AT&T/Rogers)
Options - lock screen mods
- notification pull down mods including background
- custom led colors ( you choose )
- customs vibration patterns ( you make )
Many many more. Add in a theme using built in theme chooser and away you go.

Haha I'm currently using this ROM, and I didn't even know those options! I feel kinda dumb right now lol, thanks!
But I was kind of thinking along the lines of completely changing how android looks, apart from JB and ICS I was looking for something that doesn't look too much like "android".
In that case I would suggest you have a look at some of the home screen threads or the theme threads to get a completely different look. You most likely going to need a theme and/or icon packs and spend quite a bit of time customizing how your phone looks. Oh, and the options in the ROM your running are in settings, ROM control. Here for working led colors

Might be just a silly question, but where do I find the themes? Are they connected to the AOKP ROM itself?

you can install Apex launcher or any other launcher on top of MIUI to make it look and behave like any other rooms with the options and functionality of MIUI

I'm currently on android 4.1 with an AOKP-based rom. I've been looking at several android 4.2 roms and while some of them look like they've got a lot of great features, I really don't want to give up my current toggles. I don't like there being a separate pane/tab for toggles in the notification menu (along with having an extra step to switch back and forth). I don't need a lot of toggles and currently only have 4 at the top of my notification pane (with a brightness slider above them). Does anyone know of a rom that supports the old AOKP toggles in android 4.2 or a mod that can add them? Failing that, is there any mod/rom that can at least show toggles and notifications in the same pane without having to switch back and forth?
Thanks in advance.
I currently use CM10.1, and you can have Quick Settings, the power widget, both, or neither.

Ditto for any CM10.1 based rom. Which is a lot of them.
There's even a handy toggle for right swipe to quick Settings and left for normal notification bar. Made power widget obsolete for me.

Do you recommend any particular CM10 based roms? I've been using mostly AOKP based roms (pre 4.2) but none of the 4.2 AOKP roms seem to have this feature.
Just curious if anyone knows if there is, or if there are plans for, a sense ROM with aosp theming?
When I was on the note 2, there was a couple TW roms that had this. It would be my ideal ROM.

coming from the sg3/sg4, where all I ran was my ROM with AOSP themed TW.
I have been wanting to make an AOSP theme, but would be very difficult. Best theme out there is for EclipticOne Hawks dark inverted theme.
I have plans to kang that basically and make it gray inversion, basically the same but instead of all black backgrounds they will be the HTC Sense gray color that some of the backgrounds already are, for ex. favorites in the dialer.

Cool! Would like to see this! Really, what I want is aosp style notification icons. I'll give EclipticOne a try.

That actually is the easiest part..
That is just replacing the .png images in the SystemUI.apk
Matching the pop ups, and the rest of the .png images in the hard part, then finding all the colors in all the different .xml files it's ridiculous how much time these things take. I worked with the best themer on the sg4 he was working blind with me to get the aosp theme and we got it about 90% done, but WOW, what a PITA..
I will work on a SystemUI.apk for you as that's easy and actually usually the first thing that can be worked on.
No idea when I'll get to this, not sure if I'll wait for 4.3 to drop or not either, cos an android upgrade like 4.2.2 to 4.3 should be quite different.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a full blown aosp theme!! But those are some of the things that initially bug me.
Thanks for offering to do this!! Whenever you get to it is cool. This is the main reason I love the Android community!
