Does anyone have any good resources on where to look for information on tweaks and themes for the Google Edition ROMs for the HTC One?
As far as I understand it the Xposed mods will work if you use the ones labeled for the Nexus devices. Are there any downsides to using Xposed?
And for themes I guess AOSP themes would work? Not even sure where to find those. How easy is it to update themes and how often do they break (i.e. every time you flash to update your ROM version)?
Thanks!

Have a look through the Themes and Apps section
Thanks, but it seems most of these are for Sense ROMs. Do you know if there is a resource for AOSP themes, and if so, do they work on the GE?
atm i didn't see nothing.
You can check, but i think you will found anything...

So, I want a clean install of a stock Android rom for my Legend. I've had the Hero and I've had to wait for the updates. I like SENSE, but It's not a necessity for me. A lot of apps give same or better functionality to the phone than SENSE does.
I just want to be able to install the latest greatest straight from Google.
What you want. ISN'T POSSIBLE ON THIS PHONE!
em Yes it is,
Lots of sense free G1 and Hero Roms can be ported to the Legend. It just hasn't been done yet.
I am in the process of porting G1 Froyo Beta, but it isn't ready yet.
OR you can turn the Sense UI off!!!
and u will get the basic android 2.1 UI.
goto settings then applications and turn it off there.
i hope that helps!
I've found that Sense is glossy-bloat ware and I don't want it on my phone anymore. I'll search around and if a solution isn't within reach, I'm getting the Nexus istead.......annoys the heck out of me that I didn't in the first place, seeing the experience I had with the Hero (getting 2.1 NOW).
hmm i prefer sense i see it as the best GUI over android!
I'm working on a clean build based on:
- MoDaCo Custom ROM for the HTC Legend online kitchen - r2
- LauncherPro (nice Home Screen)
- HTC Dialer
- HTC Camera
- Removing All other HTC apps (peep, stock..ecc.. since i we have better apps on market)
p.s. actually its working but i need to fix some. Anyone got the apk with original LockScreen?

I meant Google Eclair Lock Screen.
Ahah, sorry, missunderstood you
I've been looking into that problem with lockscreen, and the Eclair version is not kept in an apk. It is in the android.policy.jar.
Im working on getting it working with my senseless rom
Hi there,
I've tried practically every custom ROM out there, and ultimately, I've found myself preferring to install the stock ROMs + cfRoot.
When JVB came out, I used the excellent "5 lockscreen mod" from dhiru1602 to get various goodies that are the staple of custom ROMs such as choice of lockscreen, scroll, overglow, CRT sleep effect and extended power menu. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036859).
I'm now looking at installing JVO, which I don't think is supported by that mod. Does anyone know how else I can these goodies on their own, without having to install a new theme entirely, and keep as close-to-stock as possible?
Thanks in advance for any tips.
if you want to do it on your own you should know about compile and decompile of apk files and also know how to work with smali and baksmali moreover you should be familiar with xml and java perhaps. its a long way to go friend.
I have seen some mods for jvo at theme section which are close to the stock rom
Brotuck has created a mod which is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Eureka!

So, Im throwing together a rom from different sources (Nik's, Runnydroid, ARHD & CM7) to make a rom that is what i call AOSP (android open sense )
it will look like AOSP, but it will have sense core. why? because i want as AOSP as possible with a working camera. now that aside, I want to have a script running after the install finishes that makes certain settings on app's, system settings and also puts certain widgets and icons on home screens to have it as best setup as possible.
can this be done? and if yes, how?
any link to tutorial or so ...

I was thinking of the same thing and I guess it's doable after all its linux and when we have setup script for ubuntu we can certainly make it for android. However I am not a developer so will not be able to help much. I just hope some of linux or android geek might give attention to it and make it happen. Basically we need a command like apt-get in ubuntu for downloading it straight from market and some command to install from sd card. I will try myself but as said I have just little knowledge in linux (I am a mainframe developer) so i will not be of much help.
Just wait and Watch and hope for the best.

I don't know the answer to your question but your ROM is something I've wanted, I hope you release it soon Good luck!
/system/etc/init.d
Or if you want some other way, do tell me, I'll post it when by a computer

Exactly, and there isn't one like this, thats why i am making it
It's almost finished though, but i really need to be able to change some of the default settings otherwise stuff won't work (for example, in settings/connect to PC, ask me should be off, otherwise usb mount does not work ...)
I also need to take some stuff out (for example, after setting 'ask me' to off by default i wanna remove the 'connect to pc' completely from the settings menu)
so far i'm keeping only sense dialer/sms,sense ereader (because its a good one), sense music player (if removed it's impossible to set a mp3 as ringtone), sense calendar, sense camera, sense browser & sense radio. All other sense stuff and widgets are removed
it will have AOSP keyboard, mail, lockscreen, gallery & deskclock and some powerapps (like titanium backup, ES file explorer etc..) and also a lot of google bloat removed
The rom will be pretty light compatred to Stock Sense and you will be able to use any launcher etc.. you want. I will include a third party sense clock/weather widget, because there is nothing better
I'm still in doubt about wether to keep or toss the sense lockscreen ...
the sense lockscreen looks better than the default one but will be useless, go with the default android one.
btw what base are you using for this ? sense 3.5 ? and why not keep the gallery app ?

base is indeed 3.5 (Nik rom), good idea about the gallery, i'm gonna keep that (handy for going from in-cam to gallery)

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

I know making a rom is a lot of time. But my old dream is an aosp rom on my XZ, but my phone's bootloader is locked (Allowed: No) . So i cant flash aosp. But i seen a lot of mods what is creating "someting" aosp. (I hope you understand what i mean ) So if we put everything in a pack and port some aosp apps like settings,gallery,phone etc....
Is it possible? If it is someone can create it?
Thanks!
It's not easy as you think. ROM like that need to be themed (to look like AOSP) in framework and many other places. Porting apps is easiest thing. As now, i can only recommend you these mods:
AOSP themed SystemUI (available for XZ 5.1)
CyanogenMOD messaging app and
Google Dialer (i dunno that it'll work with XZ 5.1)
@ActorTheBest
The best we can do is replace some of the Sony apps with Google apps from Play Store and move some of the ported CM12.1 apps to system->app folder. I also changed some of the icons from AOSP. See attachment as I wanted the same thing.
Hope it helps. BTW, I have eXistenZ 3.1.0 installed on my XZ.
Is there specific Roms for the xperia that are also like? Or gpe?
