I seen these absolutely amazing lockscreens
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288096
but ive been informed they will only work with MIUI which is a real shame, does anyone know where i can get some of these lockscreens for our Galaxy S2, some amazing work there.
Thanks
No one knows how we can get these lockscreens for non MIUI?
i dont think they would be compatible with any of our roms...Cause its build for the MIUI and CM7 only i think..I think i have asked that before to GC and he said also it would be hard to get them over to us...I might be wrong but thats what i remember..

such a shame, CM7 and MIUI always seem to get the best themes and lockscreens, some of these lockscreens are stunning.
Can some themer or dev not manage to get these to work on non CM7 or MIUI ROM's?
check out the latest version of QQlauncher Pro.(free app). it has a beta locker screen setting which brings default MIUI style lockscreen.pretty decent. you can also switch to other launchers and lockscreen works. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tencent.qqlauncher&feature=search_result

under preferences >Lock screen on-off . Tick it to see the lockscreen.
you should try widgetlocker it works very well with the sgs2 you can have miui - iphone or stock android style lockscreens loads of themes for it on this forum and others.
If the miui guts release that on normal android phone they woulda get richz

u can try magiclocker on the market. there are a couple of miui like lockscreen themes available
I asked this request a long time ago mate. I would be willing to pay $100 for someone to successfully have MTZ zips flashable on Samsung based firmware. That way we could have MIUI themes and screens
Ok, I know there are a lot of threads with TW4.5 themes in the international GSII forums but I haven't been able to get any of them to work on our version...I was wondering if anybody had a link to something that has worked or the desire to port some of them.
I love this launcher, it's still got all of the functionality of stock TW but some cool features..so I'm trying to avoid going back to golauncher or LP to get a full theme...Really I just want to get rid of the darn Touchwiz icons in the dock, but one of the only things TW4.5 doesn't let you do is choose custom Icons. Anybody offer some help?

I'm not sure about the launcher.apk he linked, but for me all I did was install the manager.apk file and then find it in your app drawer "TW4 Manager", open then look under "check for updates & uninstall" then click latest stable version to get the newest one they have for release. Then you have to get to the launcher through the traditional channels (press home soft key, then if you're using a 3rd party launcher it will tell you to clear defaults (found in applications -> manage applications in main settings menu), or if using stock TW I believe it will just open up the typical window when there are multiple programs to complete the command, then click on the one you want)

Yeah, it's not perfect...but ultimately I'm surprised it's as good as it is considering the other options (LP, Go, ADW, etc.) that are probably a team of people doing full-time dev. I switched back to Golauncher EX because it's what I'm comfortable and it just used the screen better...smaller dock icons and better customization. I would love to keep some of the TW features though, and if there comes some nice themes for TW4.5 I'll be back.
FC on search soft key with 4.5 anyone?

Are you using Starburst Rom? If so, you may need to define which app is supposed to be opened with that button. If you are on starburst, go to menu, settings, lockscreen settings (at very bottom), overall ui settings, then click "long press search button app" and choose what you want to happen. Hope that's all that's wrong...I never had any unusual fc's on tw4.5 while I was using it.

Sorry about not responding sooner...been focused on the development threads and completely forgot about my own
I'm using LoStKernel Experimental and it has worked pretty well. I've been without a Loss of service since it's been installed (KNOCK ON WOOD). It's pretty quick and from what I can tell it does allow for overclocking. I'm not sure on this...but my SetCPU app says my phone has been at 1.4 GHz for a good amount of time and it must allow under clocking because it says I've been at 500 GHz for most of the time (that's my "screen off" setting).
Ultimately the under/over clocking would appeal to you for both speed & battery life. Stability might suffer a bit from this kind of thing BUT I haven't experienced any stability issues with the LoStKernel exp....that's not to say you won't because each piece of hardware is different and each persons app load and usage is completely different.
I have used the stock kernel, Zedo's 1.6 OC'd kernel, and most recently the LoStKernel, just for info.
Hope this helps!
PS - I switched to GoLauncher because I couldn't get themes to work either...so, yeah, I would suppose this thread is dead for the time being - but feel free to ask any other questions you might have for me & I'll try to get to 'em sooner. Subscribed now, so I'll notice.

Strange, on my phone, after installer a couple of kitkat apps (google services, hangout, camera, keep, search, clock) there is no more "contacts" nor "phone calls" (the dialler) to be seen in my apps panel. Can't call anybody anymore :/
and hangout is always slow as hell to launch and work with (tends to kind of "freeze" on an empty screen page while loading / waiting for god knows what). Was used to this lagggggy UI with hangout, but it can't be so sluggish for SMS.

Try greenify from the play store. Your phone might be running out of memory or over loading the CPU. I don't have a single problem. The hangout app actually works faster than the SMS app for me!
Really weird that the phone and contacts apps disappeared though. Something went wrong somewhere. If you don't want to wipe then you can probably dirty flash your ROM to get them back.

No. It doesn't work yet. It FC's. Something is required somewhere. If we figure out what it is then I or someone will post it for you.
I've gotten all the Kitkat apps on my phone and I have no problems at all. I'm glad to see they finally updated their ugly email app. And the camera rotates a lot faster than before. Google Now is awesome. I had mixed feelings about the new launcher at first but its growing on me. The keyboard seems more responsive too. Also, the hangouts app isnt all that laggy for me. It does take a second to load everything when forst opened but after that, its fine. SMS works great with it in my case. Overall, they are great updates. I can't wait to try out the Kitkat OS.

This is just a thought. But when I installed most of these, I was installing them over system apps or I was moving them to system/app to make them system apps. Maybe that makes a difference.
Anyone using the new Google Keyboard? I found out you can type a whole sentence now with the swipe guesture without raising your finger. The space bar is recognized as a swipe input now. I think the developer(s) of the Swype keyboard did that not that long ago but now its in the stock keyboard. Just thought I'd share.
When you were running on jelly bean, did you had any problems receiving or sending any MMS on hangouts?

It looks really fake...
No..it's a fake..when you try to download the rom from the link in the description, you will find surveys..anywhere, umeaboy was working on a cyano for edge plus..but anything yet.
I'm tired of touchwiz roms..i really want to try aosp!
I think it's a fake
They got cm13 booting up over in the note 5 forums... it works on edge plus but the navbar and capacitive buttons don't work with our s6 edge plus
Yes..i've found a build on the note 5 forum, it may works on edge plus, the bugs are:
No camera
Youtube videos not works
Text messages causes reboot
I can't live without camera, so i'll flash this rom as a secondary rom, with the dual boot app..now i'm not at home...later i'm going to download it and try it..
I'll keep you updated!
Bye
If we can get a proper kernel working on it with our device it should be a decent tester
Ok..installed as a primary rom..dual boot is not working.
The rom seems to be working, but..there are a lot of bugs..of course.
Not a daily drive, but just this, it's another step.
I forgot that you can't play your music..if you try to riproduce a song with a music player, or simply a file manager, your phone will reboot.
Remember, if you want to try it..you have to flash cm and then, without reboot the system, flash the gapps, wipe cache e dalvik, and reboot.
Keep it in mind, you can't use it as a daily drive.
Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian.

I honestly can't grasp why we do not have the availability of Ubuntu Touch on these devices.
The Meizu Pro 5 came with an Ubuntu Touch model on the idenical Soc/Specs.
I agree all too well about one sidedness, especially putting up with samsung >.<
honestly, samsungs are nice devices but they start to be like apple , i mean locked on every aspect, no mods, people give up on these devices of samsng bcuz the stupid xynos cpu or w/e since samsung dont release the codes to make a custom rom like s3 with archidroid/debian , seriously samsungis gonna lose its custommers if they keep this up

But obviously they released enough to Meizu for them to release a slew of AOSP on the Exynos7420 SoC, like literally
Stock decisions of; Ubuntu Touch or FlymeOS,
CM13/14 was available for download, not sure how that's going currently.
But i just can't grasp why we aren't seeing any love on the other side?

Agreed, its just so sad to realize if I want anything actually custom on this thing I either have to put in some hrs of work, & have a wicked internet connection.
Or purchase from Asia for the same SoC from a different manufacturer :/
What do u think guys Lineage OS will continue to use Stock android UI or they will bring a new refreshed ui with new icons??
icons are ok, maybe a a tone darker shade is welcome.
i think new ui is better than stock android
Stability should always be paramount. If your phone crashes constantly then the only pretty it will be is pretty useless. Keeping closer to stock theme and killing bugs should be priority.
Stock ui would be best. Let theming deal with anyone's desire for a different look
Why not shipping with a stock and a original themes?
I mean, the stock theme and theme engines are already there, right?
I think doesnt matter how good the new theme is, whatever is made different than stock will make some happy and other mad, this way you guys have more creative freedom to try wildly different things if you want, haters just use the stock theme and shut up.
Can even be chosen at the initial setup (or Aroma, not sure why CM never used it)

But why new icons and different graphics would impact stability?
Im pretty sure there are some guys with graphic design but no programming skills that could not help otherwise.

Stability should always be paramount. If your phone crashes constantly then the only pretty it will be is pretty useless. Keeping closer to stock theme and killing bugs should be priority.

It depends on what new UI we are talking about... take MIUI for example, its a pretty decent ROM but I personally dont lik its Iphone-y UI.
That said, it doesnt matter if we have a theme engine and the option to use a stock(ish) UI

Correct, stock android consumes less ram compared to sense ui touchwiz ui etc
I think stock look! Honestly stock is better in most cases, and if you don't like stock then you can always add a theme on it
Also beauty is on the eye of the beholder, so no one can complain with stock

I don't really care about the big icons and all that stuff, because as i said, i like my phone to be as stock as possible. That the reason i moved out of sense ui in the first place
I am running LinageOS prebuilt and I could not notice any change in UI except for the boot animation, its like moto devices now, cool...
But I didn't found LATER (Linage Android Theme Engine Reborn)
