I would like to try some stock-based ROM on the G3, but I just cannot stand white/bright spaces in stock-based roms. There is a so called "dark" theme for Fulmics, but I think calling dark a theme where 80% of screen is blinding white is a joke. Is there something else or do I have to stick to CM-based roms?

Did you find a dark theme? I am after one but can only see themes dark at the top with white everywhere else like you mentioned. I'm guessing it isn't as popular on this device as it has not got amoled screen which benefits from black themes but I much prefer dark UI.

Nope. I moved to LineageOS-based roms for many reasons.

Can I also ask, what is the camera like? The only reason I'm still on stock is because the stock camera is the best and couldn't get it to work on any other rom for some reason, the auto focus was terrible but tried this about a year ago so may be different now.

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.

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

Is there a ROM that has a white/light theme for Nexus 4? Stock Google is black-ish UI but I prefer something that is light. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
Best option is to find a theme that is light, and use on a custom ROM with theme chooser.
Here's a thread with a bunch of themes
Search in that thread for chromium, santoyu, and miui v5 concept. There's not many light themes and also the ones that are available can have black text on black background issues.
U can also checkout the Gnex themes they have nice ones also that i have used on my N4
NEXUSâ´
Thanks guys- will definitely check out both

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!
Hello guys, i want to swap my MIUI for a another rom but all roms that ive looked into doesnt seems to have a full black theme, its a kinda of dark grey or smt.
Do you guys know any rom that actually have a pitch black for take advantage of the amoled display?
There are some AOSP ROMs with Theme Support, they also have Black (Black Settings & Black Notification-quicktiles)
You can also theme apps with Substratum (Root required).

Most of them have a pitch black option. crDroid, AICP, Syberia, AncientOS, ColtOS, Nusantara, Havoc are some of them. (Only on Android 11 currently)

IMHO, the best rom in performance, smoothness and stability is the Arrow 11 rom that offer an option to choose from different dark theme colors, I am currently on Arrow 12 and I am really satisfied with 0 bugs but most of the additional arrow features are no yet implemented, like this dark theme customization for example, but it does not matter for me
