Colored task bar and themes.

I'd just like to begin by apologizing for my noob-ness. Is the 2.2 Froyo with Sense ROM able to be
themed at all? I was wondering because I like the Sense UI and all, but it just doesn't feel like 2.2 for some reason. This also makes me question switching to CM6... Thanks to any answers given.

Get ADW launcher and some Adw themes from the market. Both are free.
Hope that helps.

there are skins available for sense, but none of them look like the standard aosp android.
if you want the aosp android look, i would definitely recommend flashing to CM7, which is 2.3 based.

Ah, okay thanks. I know its off topic, but since CM7 was brought up, how stable is the ROM? Ik its still in relatively early stages, but how is it problem-wise? I've been debating between my current 2.2 w/ sense vs. CM7.

It's pretty stable, if using the latest nightly. The RC1 has its issues.

Everything you need to work works. Its a stable fully functional rom for daily use. I highly recommend the latest nightly. And the theme Chooser built into the rom along with either adw (comes with the rom) or launcherpro (free in market) make it very customizable. in the visual department.

I am a big fan of MIUI and I posted on the MIUI-dev forums but I have more faith in XDA developers... I love my nook and MIUI would make me love it more. MIUI is the perfect tablet os IMO

While the miui launcher is definitely ipad like, i wouldn't write off the entire rom that way... if you run adw or lpp on it you will find the benefit of the roms streamlined transitions in menus and the custom built miui apps kick ass... its an awesome rom as soon as you get past the crappy launcher. Please port to nook color

I love options! gimme moar rom!

MIUI is not open source....No thanks

While we're waiting for HC's source..

Like it or not, I'm having it HC style .
Sorry for the poor quality of the pic.
Once CM reaches a stable build, I'll work on a rom.

The notification window animation still needs some work, if that's what you mean..

Is there a reason the HC launcher is not being used ?

Probably because of the missing dependencies.. You can't simply copy/paste the apk.. I wish it were that simple...

I really like this thinking. I only have limited experience with Honeycomb, but there's some question in my mind whether 7" is too small for Honeycomb and Gingerbread will be a nicer experience. Honeycomb clearly rocks on 10".

Looks awesome. I assume you went crazy with the framework to do a lot of this. Any suggestions for someone just starting out with framework editing? Ive looked a bit at the code, and its a bit intimidating, probably because im not sure where to start. have any advice or resources for us mortals? Thanks for what you do!

Read The code is explicit and commented. You can use a search tool to find string instances, depending on what you wish to change..

Do you have a flashable zip? I would love to try this out! Awesome work!

How did you get the bar on the bottom? Can't wait for your rom
Nook Color via Xda App

There's an app called Plug In Launcher that I find might be useful to combine with your nookcolorUmS app for those having problems mounting sd card. it launches an app when you plug in a usb or head phone Jack. If you devs can find a way to activate a microphone in the head phone Jack it might activate a telephony program also. And yes, waiting for your rom anxiously

very exciting, I am enjoying CM7 right now but if I could get the 'back' button on the bottom that would be awesome. Love your work sam and I can't wait to see more of this.

am i reading this right?
When cm7 hits stable your going to make a heavily styled cm rom with hc features? Or you're going to work on the hc rom?
I guess what im asking is should i look more forward to cm7 stable or hc asop?

I think sam is saying that he'll build a more tablet friendly rom using CM7 once they get it stable..
I know I'll switch to HC when they release an AOSP rom for the Nook Color..

you should just check out HC on the nook if possible. i really do not think 7" is too small for HC, especially since the nook has such a high resolution display.

I'm not sure there's a point in making a flashable zip of this right now. This would require an update every time a new version of cm is released.
If there's such an need for it, I could release a RC1 version. But nightlies I doubt it. Sorry.
Moreover, the notification panel is everything but slick. It needs some coding still.
And this thread is only CM related. Nothing to do with HC.

Can this possibly work on Froyo?

Well its always doable. But the framework has changed since 2.3. So the changes will have to be done differently. Haven't looked into it. To be honest, I don't see much interest in working on froyo when a stable version of GB is one the way..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

While I'm at it, is there any other feature someone can think of that they would like to see added/modified in CM7's UI?

Hmm.. A sense 4 theme would be amazing! I'm obsessed with how it looks and if it were possible that would be amazing But I'm sure whatever you bring will be great!

I have a quick question for you sir. Are ROMS like MUIU and CM9(neither of which are adapted yet to Jellybean) going to be able to run JellyBean on our Tabs? I am positive there will CM9 and MUIU for these tabs but will they be GB or ICS versions? Will we have to wait a good long while before the established current crop or ROMS run JB?

I have a question. What is the difference between a GB or ICS version of miui? Or the difference between that and JB. Miui always seems exactly the same, ever since I first started flashing. Would miui get Google now? Or project butter?

There will probably never be a CM9 for nexus 7.
There might be a CM10 though.

What do you guys think of the MIUI v5 for our N4 ?

I'm currently satisfied with Stock, after trying 99% of the roms out there.
Now I want to flash MIUI v5 (3.9.13 is the latest as far as i know) and see if it is any good.
I see that MIUI isn't very popular here as it is on the Gnex forums or other devices such as sony and samsung forums.
What do you guys think about it - Good or bad ? please state why

Used it, was good but definitely not as slick and fast as stock. Also the recent task manager makes your widgets freeze I'd you clear all.

Looking forward for their new work with Hugo Barra - Other than that, they have always been an iOS-Wanna-Be to me, even though they have nice features - Just another experience built on top of Android

They are trying to create their own Android experience. I tried it for a week and return to cm10.1. The reason is because it uses more ram tham cm when i cleared everything. Im not very font of having all apps in my homepage...and the animations make everything slow down a bit. Besides this i like it very much. Waiting for offical rom...

I just reverted to stock also. I did not experience lag at all, but the overall experience was slow. Ios and EVEN Ubuntu touch feels faster and snappier that that.

I use MIUI as my daily driver and I've got to say it is AMAZING!
BTW to get the Gallery and other devices to recognize your SD data you need a media scanner app
I use the Trinity Kernel and it rocks with great performance and battery life that fits my needs :3
I don't OC the CPU on this Kernel but I do have the GPU OC'd to 480 MHz
All in all it may not be stock android
But its worth a try :3

Why this is not popular here? Cuz there is no official rom for n4. All the versions you see here are ports. Miui experience is thus not the best, but its not too bad. Personally i am hooked to more features like pie and halo etc thus making miui a little less attractive.

What about the Miui roms you see on miui.com and xiaomi.eu/, are there any differences? Both are 3.9.13 and JB...

It's a great rom I'm till using it and love it. I mean it doesn't have that buttery smooth scrolling as the stock vanilla, but it's barley noticeable . Thanks goes to Datsun.510 for porting this rom onto the nexus 4

Looks pretty sweet...I've used the v5 theme, but the experience itself looks compelling, as do the themes:
http://en.miui.com/features.php

Not a big fan of MIUI, kinda reminds me of iOS.
The themes look nice tho but I rather stick to the vanilla android like experience.

Not the best rom out there. Then again that very sentence is subjective. I prefer a less skinned aosp type of rom.

looks good but it works bad in my opinion and since i'm not a big fan of chinese mobile, no offence but let's stick with the identity of pure google! :cyclops:

I fell in love with miui with my Galaxy SL i9003 then with my xperia arc s lt18i and now with my nexus, where battery life, interface and smoothness is incredible... Now I am not using it, but I allways come back

Ehhhhh its OK pretty simple and elegant but it has negatives also...in my opinion its mainly extra useless apps and no app drawer
