hi guys
i was wondering if any of the most popular roms like villainrom or revolutionron have any kind of themes or skins that change the design of the rom like MIUI does, i really hate the contact screen from factory android and i also lile the white design from MIUI but wanted to ask first if i should stick to Miui, the only thing is that for galaxy s2 is still in early stages, not 100% working
thanks
Try Revolution Rom and install kitchen.apk to change boot animations theams, Baseband, widgets through it on the fly.

thanks man, that was the first rom i tried, but calling screen and most of the layout is android classic design. What i meant was, a theme that changes, contextual menus, the calling screen layout again, replaces the black background , etc
i dont even know if its possible to do this but ive seen similar results with jkay themes.

You could try to ask on neatrom thread, there are a lot good moders there.
I will from my side have a look in bitfor. It must not be very complicated to achieve.
Flash biftor rom

Kind of radical IMHO...
BTW, i just googled your request, and there are plenty of guide here on xda to do it. It is just one line to change in the statubar expanded xml in systemui.
If you are a little aventurous and curious you could do it yourself.
I 'm gonna try on monday on my rom.
Edit: on sammy rom, it seems that some smali mod are involved too.
Gonna try the first way, but i won't mess the smali code as it would break my theme.
actually i dont even knw abt codes....xml...editing... and all this stuff ....

I will try tomorrow. The way i will do it, if i am successfull, will be portable for you without coding.
In the meantime, look for xtheme engine thread. It is how i will try to do it.

Someone answered you on Neat thread (sometimes it can take time)
Here is the link to download the mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38318908&postcount=33885
It is for MS1 but should work on any post LSD rom too.
I highly encourage you to make a nandroid backup first though.

II checked the mod. There are a lot of differences in the systemui from that mod and the systemui from last neatrom. It could work on last neat but could also break other things, so i don't think it is a good idea to flash it other last neat.
And fot sure it won't work on Omega.
I am still trying to create a xposed theme for this.
For now i can compile it without errors but get FCs.
Two explanations : it isn't compatible with the theme i use (jb reloaded) as it involves lidroid, or the xtheme engine is "too much" limited for that kind of mods.
Tomorrow i will know.
EDIT: well i removed my theme and it works! The brightness bar is still on the upper part (but i think it is better, even removing it would be even better ) and i have to check the height of the quick panel...
Send me your systemui.apk, i will have a look to see if i can build one for you or switch to neatrom...
And if you could send me your systemui from your GS3 i could check how they did to have the glow effect when the panel reach the left or right of the screen as i don't have it right now.

Ok, let's see:
My mod is a complete mod that adds sense style manager to the ROM, also has transparency included in settings, removed brightness bar from dropdown menu (don't know why you say it's still there?) and send the toggles to the bottom of the dropdown bar. Also, I have removed notifications and ongoing title to get more room in the dropdown, got rid of letters and separator on toggles.
It won't work with other mods specially if that other mod has lidroid (23 toggles included) it can be applied to latest NeatROM 4.7 and it won't break anything, you can ask me about what I've done that I don't have problems helping people.
here is the attachments
hope u can do smthing
both have stock toggles
my s2 system ui also have stock toggles not that 23 toggles preloaded with omega rom

Hi Churapa,
Thanks for your answer, but there's a little misunderstanding here : I am not the OP, i just try to help by creating a xposed xtheme theme. I just pointed him on your mod as he gets an answer in NeatRom thread.
So my comments in the previous post was for my mod which only try to move the quick panel at the borrom - i don't touch the brightness bar code.
But concerning your mod, it looks like a complete replacement of sytemUI isn't it ? It doesn't seems to be a Vrtheme.
When i tried to decompile it, Apktool throw me a lot of errors but i could at least have a look at your moded tw_status_bar_expanded.xml. I just compared it with the original tw_status_bar_expanded from Neat 4.6.1 and (except the mod itself), the two xml diverge in some parts : it is why i said it could work, but could also break something (i didn't try it though).
Just a question : do you think it could be easy to make it works when using lidroid ?
Thanks again

I had a look at your systemUI. OMEGA is AOKP, but the touchwiz xml controlling the Quick Panel are implemented. I don't know if on your ROM they control the actual quicksetting, but we could try. If it doesn't work, well it will just FCs at worst.
So if you want to try my mod (not perfect yet, but at least we could see if it works for you), you will have to install Xposed Installer and the module which handle the theming : Xtheme Engine.
It's easy and safe, so no worries + you won't have to flash my mod : it will comes on top of your systemui.apk : so if it doesn't work, you just have to unload it and you will retrieve your original systemui.
Download and install Xposed Installer (it's an APK so don't flash this, just install):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1957219&d=1368387321
And copy the flashable Disabler zip at the root of your internal sdcard : It will allow you to disable The Framework trough recovery if something goes wrong :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1619566&d=1361912360
Now download the Xtheme module and install it (it's an APK so don't flash this, just install) :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ciz2clswmxa6i7/XThemeEngine_beta5.apk
Finally download and Install my theme in attachement (it's an APK so don't flash this, just install)
INSTRUCTIONS :
Install Xposed Framework (from the Xposed Installer app - just launch it and click on the relevant button)
Activate the Xtheme module in Xposed Installer app (in the module tab)
Choose sampletheme in the list, click apply then softreboot
Report if it works ! (in case of problems you can flash the disabler trough recovery)
Cheers
EDIT: my mod will also turn your clock blue and change your battery icons, but if it works i can remove those parts.
EDIT2 : I have replaced the attachement by a new one : this one works perfectly, it has the glow effect and the brightness bar on top of it.

I just recently upgraded s2 to miui v5 and its great. I've been using the ios 7 themes that have been released and they are hands down the best theme for miui (besides maybe MiCons project). Anyway, the lockscreen has the look, feel, etc of ios 7 and even a working control center. Only thing missing is a notification feature on the lockscreen. You can't access notifications directly from the lockscreen and thats the only feature im looking for. Can anyone modify the lockscreen to do so? or create a new theme that does it? It would be appreciated! I've added a few attachments for reference

I Dont experience any muffled calls Its hit and miss for each person i guess. But try re-flashing the rom. Wipe the data/cache then go to mounts and storage & format the system/cache. Then re flash the problem should go away. Are you using any radios?
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.

Greetings and good vibes to all readers! Here I bring you a simple configuration to have a launcher for floating applications in notifications drawer like the QSLIDE option of the Optimus series!
This works for ANDROID 4.4.1 KITKAT CM11 but should work in earlier versions that supports xposed framework, XHaloFloatingWindow, Halo Shortcut Creator and Notification Shortcuts.
Well let's start
Which is what you need:
A rom that supports Xposed Framework, XHaloFloatingWindows
Xposed Framwork installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401)
XHaloFloatingWindow Module Installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419287)
Halo Shortcut Creator App installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554118)
Notifications Shortcuts App Installed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.nicolai.buch.andersen.ns&hl=es)
After you have installed all apps, modules and other things, take the following steps of the video, and enjoy!
if someone could tell me about some shortcuts application in the notification drawer of that do not show the annoying icon (or hide it with transparent icon) and remaining free space icon(like google now notification or SRC Recorder notification!), please publish it here
Thanks to:
Xposed module, XHaloFloatingWindow, Halo Shortcut Creator, and Notification Shortcuts user, dev, team and members
I've been using this module for a while, and I've got to say that it is incredible! The occasional problems I come across are understandable, and every update makes it better and better. The only thing that bothers me is that I always end up moving the windows around when I want to press something in the action bar. I think it would be nice if we could move the window with the quadrant instead. Anyway, keep up the good work! :good:

You can also use with glove box or several floating button app instead of notifications shortcuts app. then you can launch apps without having to pull notification bar all the way down big plus if using for messaging while watching video.
