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!

These are worth considering http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037157
Since we do have some progress on CM7 for our device, why don't we start the development on MIUI as well?
Just to give you an idea of what MIUI is:
http://en.miui.com/
Developers are welcome! I am really new in porting builds in kitchens, but I am ready to get my hands dirty on this one
I have knowledge on working in linux environments, compiling kernel/modules, scripting, but lack of android kitchen knowledge, any pointers where to start will be great!
With jerpela/blagus and other developer's permission, perhaps if I have any questions and or needed files/drivers/etc for building MIUI up, I can ask?
I'll start a git hub or cvs for this project as well - let me know if you wanna get involved too!
this might be a good place to start...
[TUTORIAL] porting miui nexus rom to x10
BTW... Arc is using MSM8255 chip... so u can look at all compatible devices... like HTC Desire HD, HTC Desire Z, others....
u will mostly have to uses/mix files from SE stock libs + other places...
just one request... whenever u use files from someone else kindly give them credit for it, cause they have worked hard to make those fles working... a link to their ROM/patch/etc would be also be a good idea...
best of luck!
Well that's a good news.
Start over with your project. We can give help @ some problems, but not at all now
BTW: I cannot understand why you like MIUI, but that's quite personal I hate Iphone noobish layout.

Bin4ry: one of the few reasons is that it has a fully customizable theming engine in the back where u can just customize quite a lot of things like status bar, fonts, icons, etc, instead of using a third party launcher. Anyway like you said, it's a personal taste thing
Thanks everyone for the heads up, will spend the long weekend to work on this!

CM7 theme engine is great.
BTW, I'm not a dev and don't understand about porting FW right now. but I'm really interested about this android world and custom FW. Maybe I'll start with reading thread you provided
i would like it lean please
god news for us as development for arc is very limited and slow

CM7 theme management is great, mind you, but again it's personal taste I guess. Been living on CM7 since G2 Hero, HD Mini, X10, HD2, Desire Z, SGS, got tired I guess I like the fact that MIUI allows customization based on components instead of a full theme overhaul, and notifications are top-to-bottom toast popups, built in ftp, fonts, etc. Perhaps these can all be replaced by updating framework-res, or installing customized fonts, etc. But ease of use is also my concern...
Aaaaanyway before i go full throttle and brag on about its good vs bad, I shall stop and thank DooMLoRD for the X10 guide!

Miui its not about themes, its a full android custom rom. Own file manager, music , camera, gallery, and mucho more.
I don like iphone style too but you can custumize miui like hell

you have to use precompiled miui because there is no source released and this is like porting any other rom from any device,you can do the same with htc sense
in our opinion this mixing of libs should not be done,take an source and build your own rom then theme it as you like
mixing libs is not desired, even if filename is the same there are many things to be considered!
Main thing for miui
Ramdisk
.sh etc files
Libgsl
Hw and hw config files
I don't know arc files so may need other core files not in miui rom
Then you make sure media and system server work correct and should at least boot
Then backsmali service jar and configure power and native daemon are correct
Sent from my X10 X10projectMiUI using XDA App
i seriously cannot wait for this! Really hope Muiu comes for the Arc! I think its more needed than wanted. SE's android interface is aweful!

Thought it was just me, just bought the arc because I was impatient waiting for GB on the X10.. trips miui cam works well but i hate the layout.
The Arc has GB, a great cam & an unlocked BL.. so bring on the AOSP 2.3.4 & CM7 roms..
i'm just curious about the lockscreen rdannar demonstrated in x10 miui rom, the rest i distaste a bit ^^
would be much more excited to see this lockscreen in other roms.
still - keep going & develop this rom, if not use this one, one might take parts of the work for use it elsewhere. dont think effort will be lost here
I can't wait for this, i'd love to see Miui running on my Arc.
i would love this aswell, if there is anything i can help or try please let me know!
very noob question : do we need custom kernel to make miui rom works on arc? case like in CM7, stock kernel can't work with CM.

Im pretty sure will need a new kernel yes.
this might be a noob question
most of love the different thems that are present in cyanogen mod or aokp
since we do not have a FULLY BUG FREE cyanogen mod or aokp is there a way to run install the cm7 theams without the cyanogen mod
as we know we have a working cm 7 with bugs but the thems work without any problem in it. so is there any chance that the them chooser
integreated into other roms or just make them work without cm7

You cant do that
It is impossible
Because the themes integrate values and pngs in framework
Which will be incompatible on other devices
Theme engine is needed for proper working of themes which can run on supported framework-res.apk and systemui.apk.
For you, Simple answer is NO.
I don know HOW, but, it IS possible.
Not only by installing themechooser.apk and the themes (cyanbread.apk and androidian.apk), but modding a few system files.
CyanogenMod also has the capability ! !

Yes, but it would take a really long time, like six months of development. I guess no one would work on that.
I read somewhere that Theme Chooser is taken based on T-Mobile's rom source and CM team bring it for their source. Not sure if it is correct.
Hello out there!
For my first thread I want to share to you the dark version of the BlackBerry10 Lockscreen!
A known bug is that if you pull the hw keyboard out there will be the original cm10 lockscreen, if i've got some time beside university I will fix that but it's not on my priority list...
Big thanks to Evilisto who brought this to the android world and especially to ldiomedi who ported it to the Defy which made it possible for me to adapt it to our Milestone2!
To get this lockscreen you just have to install the BB10_CM10_28.12.DARK.zip file in your custom recovery and if you want to revert the changes install the BB10_CM10_28.12.Original.zip file.
So, what should I say more - go on and start hit the Download and Thanks Button

how about Eagle's CM10.1?

Until now nobody has managed to port this lockscreen to any CM10.1 - as soon as anyone finds a solution for this I will try to make this work for our Milestone :fingers-crossed:
Good job,i played it allday,haha .
