Help with a theme please?

Hi! I am new to the DInc but am loving it rooted. (Huge step up from the Eris...LOL) I am loving the MIUI ROM so far but there are some aspects of a 100% Vanilla ROM that I'd really like. I have downloaded/installed CM6 (which I understand is the only true Vanilla ROM available - dialer specifically) but I'm wondering if there is a theme available that looks like the MUIU ROM - you know, the rounded iPhone type icons.
If no themes are available is there a way to change my current icons to the MIUI-type icons?
Thanks in advance.

You could always use LauncherPro. It allows for replacing the icons on your screens with a custom icon.

Good idea. Any suggestions on where to find custom icons?

I know if no other way... you cannot make a theme to automatically change different icons... it is all done in the framework... I am actually trying to develop a cross breed of miui and skyraider.. it is not working out so well.. anybody else on this?

The market is a great place to start If I'm not mistaken, adw.launcher has a variety of ipod/ipad-espue icons, which is what MIUI is based off of hope this info helps!
EDIT*
Whoops left out the fact that the icons for adw.launcher are classified as themes in the market

Can notification toggles be installed in asop?

Hey. I just love to have the toggles on a line in the notification drawer. Is it possible to install that in any asop roms?

AOSP roms are built from source...
I.E. Practically every Nexus rom is AOSP.
The only ones that weren't were from the JellyBean nandroid rips that were going 'round after the Google IO.
Assuming you mean "stock" then no, there aren't any such roms with only toggles built in that I've seen.
You should try CM10 if you're into the "stock" feel...
They build their roms slowly with stability and a rock solid base...and minimal customization.
You'll be happy with 'em.

There's several apps that will put toggles in the notifications. I'm using Widgetsoid...

I've never found those apps to satisfy me. I really like the ones in CM10, but i would love them to be in eg. AndroidME AOSP

Well Widgetsoid allow toggling more things than both AOKP and CM so I'm happy enough with it. I set the widget to be hidden and appear on the notification bar.

You could easily just copy the toggle code from one of the ROMs into stock source and compile your own ROM. Or just flash one of the ROMs and be done with it.

Personally, I actually prefer the app "Notification Toggle" (Play Store link) over CM10's. It has good functionality as just an app, but if you're rooted and can install it as a system app, it has great functionality. For instance, if using it as a system app, you can have direct GPS toggle rather than having the GPS icon open location settings.
There are a great number of items that can be put on the toggle bar, it's fully customizable, it can use multiple notification rows, and all icons can be re-ordered. The only "drawback" that I found was that the flashlight option required a specific flashlight app, TeslaLED, but that wasn't too big of a deal for me.

ROMS like MIUI for d2att?

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!

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

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

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..

ROMs with Transparent Status Bar Option

Status bar transparency is the latest Android craze. Many people want it but aren't sure where to get it. This guide is here to help you find ROM's that have the transparent status bar mod enabled out of the box.
(If I've missed any ROM's that include transparency please don't hessitate to let me know in this thread and I'll add it to the first post. I am trying to build a complete list. If I leave a ROM off it's just an oversite or I didn't realize the missing ROM had the feature)
Touch Wiz ROM's
All TouchWiz ROM's should have status bar transparency as the stock ROM includes is all all variants of TW ROMs are based on the stock ROMs. (I never use TW ROMs so I can't verify this. If it's wrong please let me know)
Should you find a TW ROM that doesn't include transparency options, akapaul26 has a mod for so you can try to add it yourself. Click here.
AOSP ROM's
All Android 4.2 based ROMs should theoretically be able to add status bar transparency by using the XPosed Framework and TweakBox mods found here. Make a nandroid backup first then give it a try. I've tried it on multiple devices with mixed results. When I did get it to work the status bar is ALWAYS transparent, not just on the home screen. So this might not be the ideal option for some, and it might be the greatest thing in the world for others. It all depends on your use.
This does not work on Android 4.3 ROMs just yet though as the XPosed framework isn't compatible yet.
The following AOSP based ROMs have status bar transparency preinstalled and ready to go. (I haven't tried every one of these. So If I say one has it and it doesn't let me know. )
- Paranoid Android
- Carbon ROM
- PACman ROM
- Liquid Smooth
- Slim Bean
- BeanStalk
- AOKP
- JellyBro??? (I'm not sure about this one. The developer was talking about it very briefly last month but I don't know if the transparency was every actually added. Can someone let me know?)
- CyanogenMod ROM's do NOT have transparency built in. However there are a bunch of CM kangs floating around. Some of them may have added transparency options but I'm not aware of any.

I have Xposed working on CM10.2. I haven't tried the Tweakbox module, though. I'll give it a shot and report back.

SystemUI kept force closing after applying transparency in Tweakbox on CM10.2.
Xposed modules are kind of hit or miss since 4.3 isn't fully supported yet. The Greenify (donate) module works flawlessly.

For any ROM, it's a very simple XML edit inside systemui.apk. heck you can even make it any color you want!

Yeah I know. But this guide was more aimed at people looking for transparent functionality out of the box.
Remember, even on xda with all the modders we have here, editing an apk is above the heads of most people. The vast majority of people here, even root users, are just flashing what is pre compiled. And there is nothing wrong with that! That's how we all started!
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

Just remember to enable it depending on the launcher. Nova, for example, needs to have it enabled in the settings before it takes affect regardless of the other settings. That said, 3minit roms make changing the transparency very, very simple.

This is all true information, but it applies to TouchWiz roms exclusively.
3minit is only on TW to my knowledge (please correct me if Im wrong)
And for AOSP roms that have transparency options built it it will force launchers like Apex and Nova to have transparency and you not only do not have to activate it in the launcher settings but you cannot activate it in the launcher settings. Those launchers only give the transparency options if they are installed on a TouchWiz rom. On aosp roms that option is deleted from the launcher settings.
The launchers search for the transparency options built into TouchWiz, which does it differently than aosp roms. So when the launcher doesn't find the TouchWiz transparency files it removes the transparency option from the settings menu.
