[Q] New to flashing roms! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed the new ARHD 10.2 today and it works flawlessly... I have a couple of questions about where to go from here.
I would really like to find some themes/mods for this ROM. I had one for the battery but i guess it broke when I updated from 10.1. Does anyone know a good place to go to find battery indicator mods (like 1% and colorization mods) for de-odexed 4.2.2 ROMs?
Secondly, I have been flashing several different zips over the last 48 hours... first time, have gone a little overboard . What would be "safe" for me to remove from my virtual SD? If I dirty flashed 10.2 can I remove 10.1? Do the Zips actually do anything after they've been installed in recovery?
Thanks!

Yea you can just delete them all if you really wanted to but I always like to keep one (typically the newest one) on the phone if I have the space. This is just incase something goes wrong but if its stable then it usually doesn't need to stay there.

For themes it would be better to flash trickdroid 7 because that rom has a dedicate themes package zip witch has the battery percentage mod, 5x6 app drawer and if you want, you can make the appdrawer, status bar and sense weather widgets transparent or semi transparent. I think it has it has other themes like holo status bar and other themes for the sense weather widgets. It has also a lot of battery mods like asop and others too.

If I flash trickdroid will I need to wipe phone again? I hate doing that... Using Helium to backup stuff but I still end up having to do so many customizations and options.

very new to this!

so i just flashed enomthers rom i like the little tweaks on it! but im not sure there are still some things missing i am wanting like a black notification bar and a clear drop down notification bar so when i pull it down i see what on my screen instead of the gray...is there any way to keep this rom and have those things?
Yes, look in the themes section.
Or you can go back to enomthers thread and flash the new ROM pre themed with Nextheme.
Hey I don't know which version of Enom's ROM you are using...but in the theme and app section, there's a theme for black status bar...
You can try to nandroid backup first and then flash that them and check it out

[Q] Transparent Status Bar?

So, I've been looking around, and it seems the only way to get a transparent status bar for the Galaxy Ace is to flash a custom rom. Is this true? Or have I not looked into this properly?
I'd really like to be able to use one, preferably without having to switch to a different rom. I have stock...
Check the SGA themes and apps section there are couple of mods for transparent status bar I bet there'll be one for stock
------------
May The Force Be With You
is it real
check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452118 there are a lot like this one, check out the themes and apps section
The only transparent theme for stock is MEIZU ported by Seilent. But it's only for 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 stock roms.

App to change battery icon?

Is there any possibility to change the stock icon battery like the Battery Icon Mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892297) can do for several devices?
I tried in several ways.
When I tried with Room Toolbox Pro, but it shows that the ROM is not deodexed.
I am using the [JZ054K.I9190.XXAMA1][4.1.2-Jelly-bean] [18.01.2013] V4.
I would like to have only the percentage, like the options of AOKP Rom!
Many thanks for your kind help!!

[Q] How to get standard lockscreen in the Stock+GE rom (among other things)

I loaded up the ROM I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356512&page=1
I didn't get an Aroma installer (I expected as much because the first post says "No Aroma") but now that the ROM is running, I'm not seeing any option to switch to the standard lockscreen or app launcher.
Is there a menu item I'm supposed to be seeing, or is it buried in settings someplace? The ROM itself is running fine, I was just looking to sprinkle a little AOSP goodness into the Sense mix
If you will flash this rom, you can't restore the stock lockscreen or app launcher

Looks like I didn't specify - when I said standard, I meant the AOSP lockscreen, NOT the sense lockscreen.
When I installed the ROM, I didn't see any place to switch to the AOSP lockscreen (what's showing is the normal Sense lockscreen).

Anh, no, wait.
The rom didn't have the AOSP lockscreen as i see and read.
You have to do other thing for this

My impression was that a google edition ROM with a number of features available from the standard Sense ROM. As a GE ROM I would have expected it to have the standard google edition lockscreen available in some way or shape.
Am I right?
The other ROM (GE on Sense) has exactly what I want for the most part, but it's being discontinued (no more updates) - so I hesitate to run it for the future. Additionally, some of the comments on both threads made it look like it was possible to switch between GE/Sense versions for certain components.
Again, I'm thinking it might be something simple I missed. What's the word?
GE roms have the AOSP lockscreen.
The "mix" rom like GE+Sense, have some and some thing of the two roms.
So, you have to do a choise or wait for the MoDaCo Switch

Lockscreen Widgets?

Will we be able to get lock screen widgets with any of the ROMs? Or since the ROMs have to be based on TouchWiz, does that mean we're stuck with basically just themed roms? None of the ones out yet seem interesting, they all just look stock. I'm looking for a rom with custom battery icons, new features, lockscreen widgets, etc. Really missing my Samsung Galaxy S3 with the lack of customization available for the S5.

Check out ninjamorph(in the playstore). I just found it a few days ago u can theme the heck out of your phone with it. Once you get the hang of it it's a breeze. However you do have to have your own icons to swap out or just edit the ones that are there. Here's my power menu themed with ninjamorph

ok, tested and working on my device based off of G900F OEM, this mod should work for all variants. let me know how it goes
copy to sdcard, reboot to SS Recovery and flash, then reboot.
to add or change widgets swipe left or right on the lockscreen

Very much appreciate that you took the time to do this - I'm assuming I need the ROM as well, correct? Or will this work with the stock ROM just by following your steps?

This "Should" work with stock as well as any custom ROM, (I say should because as a mod it is independant of any other requirements) but make sure you flash through SafeStrap recovery make a backup first just to be safe.

Gave it a try but no bueno with the stock ROM. After flashing the zip and rebooting, I lost the lockscreen and hardware menu and home buttons entirely, only the back button was working. Restoring my backup now -- tonight I'll try flashing your ROM and then install the lockscreen widgets.
Wanted to update this thread in case anyone else wanted Lockscreen Widgets back - I installed SafeStrap and the KoolKit ROM then flashed the zip file and I have LockScreen widgets again. Huge thank you to @cstayton for coming up with a solution so quickly!
You can also use Xposed instead of flashing SafeStrap to get Lockscreen Widgets...

xPosed has lots of modules for all sorts of different things HOWEVER, xPosed also causes some very abhorent behavior in custom roms and can cause bad behavior even in stock rooted devices most devs shy away from xPosed in favor of hard coded mods. if the module works fine for then great but if you have issues like private mode not working serious lag on your device or other problems try using the hard coded mods with a custom rom
