Hi,
Is there such a thing as a very streamlined, unified look & style ROM for the gnex which doesn't have a billion options and removes some Android redundancy to do everything? besides MIUI? More in the direction of Windows Phone and iOS... There are many launchers but their look doesn't tend to match the android/dialer/settings/apps etc...
Its called stock. If you aren't competent enough to compare features that's what you should be using.

My best advice is to run aosp and put together a look that works for you. The odds of a developer doing exactly what you want are slim.

Yeah thats what I went back to. Still think the clock with its grey background and red fonts doesn't belong there. Maybe Google cleans that up for Key Lime Pie.
Thanks for the arrogant forum senior response btw.

Thread Closed since this is turning into what we don't want and also is close to being considered a "best ROM" thread.
Look at features and options of things and see what is best for you.
EDIT:
On second look I wanted to say that when I said this is turning into what we don't want I meant the replies of the thread going downhill.

Hello all I'm sorry to inform u that I will no longer be developing for the evo. I will be upgrading to the HTC evo shift and yes as soon as its rooted miui will be booted on it and ill b right back here providing updates for the shift.

I saw this over in the MIUI forum and seeing as I have been back and forth with MIUI and Myns ROMS I decided that I would post this here for all developers to see in an attempt to have someone take over the porting and maintenance of MIUI. Original thread can be found here:

upgrade to the shift lol that's a downgrade .. sucks cause miui was pretty good
Manup is going to be picking up some of it, saw his twitter this morning.
Yeah its a great rom. So different from everything else!
Completely agree man. The whole rom is just so unique compared to everything else available. The launcher that miui uses is hands down the best.

I own both and it does feel similar but at the same time its more of a fusion than a straight up copy. Definitely deserves to live on, better than have thousands of Sense ROMs that only differ in how ugly they are.

LOL... Well... I don't know. I like MIUI... And I like Sense... I just like things that are functional. Both of them are. I hope someone picks up MIUI development here because my most favorite thing to do is take aspects of all the different versions (Sense, MIUI, AOSP) est.. and blend them together to create the ROM I want for myself.
Just got my wm7 device... wow, if I wanted an I-phone, or an android, I would have bought one... Yes I have had both and neither one was HALF the phone that my last windows 6.5 was!!!!
WM7??? wtf? yeah I know I am considered a noob on here, just because I haven't posted a bunch of bs questions. I am on here reading... and searching... and doing... but unless I post I cant ask questions in the development forum.
So here it is, Not flamin.. just opinion:
Microsoft... totally missed the mark! This phone has infinitely more ability out of the box than ANY Android or I-phone ever released! PERIOD! and then what do they do? cover all that ability with a "app" overlay and limit EVERYTHING.... So here we go again. Hack time...
I wanted a windows device that I can use... customize any way I want, change to meet my needs, expand into something so much more than a pretty "OH looky here!"
Just my thoughts.
... now I will go search for the infamous "Sticky on How to Hack wm7"
That's how it is. In your case better take Android and forget those problems.
Its Windows Phone 7 (WP7).
Do you normally buy things that you've never looked into before?
You are noob, with common noob's senseless complains.
P.S. I know the rule: "Don't feed troll"... But it should be some kind of policy here on XDA to prevent posts like OP!
It's a bit of a mixed bag imho. The core OS itself is a huge leap forward over WM6.x and I greatly prefer it to iOS and Android as well. The fact that it's so locked down is a bit of a pain, I'd love the old WM style customisability/hackability back, and maybe we'll get it at some point, but tbh I find myself not really missing it as much as expected. So far it does everything I need.
Go troll elsewhere, thnx

Both of these.
Obvious troll is obvious.
"Windows 7" is a completely different product, and "Windows Mobile 7" does not exist.
Are posts like this really still taking place? I don't understand exactly what you need to "hack" about the UI... I mean, if you want a phone that crashes, is unstable, a headache to use, and useless 90% of the time, then you should probably go back to your WM device... The reason we used to mod the hell out of our older devices was not necessarily because we WANTED to, it was because we HAD to... Why did we all go to the newest versions of Sense? Because nobody was developing apps for our Windows Mobile to cover most of those features... I have to disrespectfully disagree with this stupid post

Except that there are already multiple Launchers that can make the phone act like it has Sense on it, and there are plenty of topics *just* like this one.
Also, Sense is crap.

Wow some of you guys are being really moronic. Perhaps he likes Sense but wanted a phone with a 720p screen and Google Wallet, or no hardware buttons, or countless other reasons.
Fair enough for telling him he should have searched before posting but just because you don't like Sense it doesn't mean everyone else doesn't.

Well I want a ZR1 Corvette that gets great gas mileage. Doesn't mean I'm gonna go out and buy one based on the assumption that I heard one time someone was able to optimize the motor and it boosted gas mileage by 50% without sacrificing power.

Hey the Nexus One had sense roms.. and they was every day friendly..
But i agree with what other users have said and i say it all the time.. What do you people be thinking about when you buy phones?
If i like Sense ima buy a sense phone.. but if i cant live without my AOSP than im going to stay on a AOSP phone. or buy both..
i say always check a phone "hackabillty" before buying it.. i always wait a few weeks or so before buying a new hot product..
I don't get why people even post on a thread if all they're gonna do is complain, call others assholes or "bright crayons". If you DONT like it, DONT post. Others might be up for a port, just because you aren't you shouldn't feel the need to be rude about it.
Although I might add also that you should have searched the rest of the generals page b4 posting, there should be about 3-4 other threads about this
When there's a developer who is ready to try the port, he will; we won't need to ask for it. There have been attempts already (for both Touchwiz and Sense) but there are problems.
Check the CDMA section of the GNex on Rootswiki and youll know what Im talking about
Seriously if you don't want Sense on your phone ignore the thread, some of us have never owned an HTC Phone and wish to try out Sense, no reason to be assholes over our curiosity.
I loved sense on my Incredible 2. Sure it wasn't as good as aosp in many ways, but I always kept a sense 3.5 backup on my SD card.

If the thread is a repost than by all means point them towards the original one and report it so we can clean it up. But, flaming someone for talking about porting a ROM is completely out of line. It doesn't matter if they want to port the software from a speak & spell, either contribute something to the conversation or keep your thoughts to yourself.
Hi, I'm Gabe and I'm new as you can see... So I just rooted my device and I'm looking for a very stable and very customization rom.
My ex used to handle this stuff.. But we aren't together anymore so I'm doing it myself.
I want
Good battery life
Customization ability like lots of themes!
Stability
Cool SMS themes and stuff I hate my galaxy sms layout agh.
I hate touchwiz sorry.
Ps. I'm a girl btw everyone just calls me gabe
Gabe first thing first. Questions go in the Q&A section not in the General section. As far as asking which the best rom is also like a pointless question as they all are. It's user preference what's going to make the rom perfect for you. All these types of which is best threads end up locked. Maybe you should start with this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38172219 there is lots of useful information. Then just try which ones appeal to you and choose which is best for you.

Actually I think I just miss my iphone thats why I'm selling it. I been using my blackberry because it actually is faster when i'm texting and stuff. I liked CM10 but it just wasn't what I thought. I love my android I wish I could keep both but I won't be able. I just have to find a buyer which has been very hard.
I'm considering finding a good trade or something either iphone or blackberry torch but probably iphone. But it's still rooted and I'm not very sure about unrooting and stuff things like this requires lots of thought and I don't like thinking a lot lol.
I really do appreciate your response though =]

Mmm, I see, well that's respectable. Personally, not a fan either but we all have choices.
If you're trying to sell your GS III, you might want to try listing it on swappa.com ; they sell androids and if you price it 'reasonably' you should get a buyer probably easily. Doing ^, you can list it as root, and the buyer will probably want it like that, saying you trouble. Though if you really need help unrooting, I can help you with that.

I'm a nursing student an a Iphone would suit me better because it last awhile for me and I would defiantly need a stable device. I posted a ad on swappa I'm hoping I did it correctly and for a reasonably price I saw a Iphone 5 on their pretty cheap I hope I get enough for the galaxy to buy it.

Alas, Cataclysm has "died" before in the days of the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. Atl4ntis disappeared for a year or more then and reappeared magically for the N5 and gained a large number of users. However, if he can't hack the stress, it was hardly fair to build up an even larger keen collection of users on FOUR different devices. I'm bitterly disappointed, but sadly not surprised. At least he gave his reasons on Pushbullet.
This is a sad day...... for me and the rest of Cataclysm users.

Anyway, it's too bad they couldn't solve the problems without going ballistic. Hope it turns out to do something positive.

Yes, and there is a fact. His method 'cata-mod' is and was very original. So I am confused too, and do not understand the moderators concerned. Especially because a thread with discussions about the 'why' is also closed.
This is not a simple 'not following the rules question'. Apparently we are dispirited to talk further.
I'm very sorry for Atl4ntis and Cataclysm.
He's been a very kind guy, always keen to answer help and fix bugs,
His ROM has been the best I've ever seen so far: a lot a customization, great features, great stability. A great balance.
I hope he will eventually be back, but he will be always remembered as one of the best guys and modder here!
