Everyone using the MIUI roms, have you guys found a theme that DOESN"T have the rounded square icons (or the squared icons)?
I like the way the icons look on regular android, with all different shapes. I really like the look of MIUI roms but hate the fact they all have the icons either the rounded square or the whole square, I really think it looks ugly.
I'm not making this thread to bash android users trying to make their phone slook like iOS. To each their own. I just want the MIUI rom with the regular android icons and haven't found any themes that make this happen.
Thanks guys!
Check Meizu M9 theme.
is there a miui theme? I have found a few miui roms that can have a theme applied, but have not found a theme that would make the stock dhd look a bit like miui.
dont even know if it is possible. I have a new dhd don't want to invalidate the warranty just yet so don't want to start flashing roms can anybody point me in the right direction.
I think I am on about skins rather than themes
If you're on CM7, try looking for a theme called ElegantSteel. I was using that along with GO Launcher and the Classic theme for it on my Wildfire. It's not MIUI, but it's not Sense or Vanilla and not a far cry from MIUI either.
Haven't tried seeing if they work on the DHD yet though but my guess is that it should considering the theme was originally hdpi.
Good thinking batman
This is probably a silly question, but... I feel the need to ask it anyway. After recently switching back to a gb (for battery life reasons) rom XquiziT_SGH-T679_v6.1 to be exact, the only thing I noticed is the lacking "theme chooser" ability. What I wanted to know was is it possible to theme a rom that doesn't have theme chooser already built in? Or is there a way to apply it to a rom without it?
I've tried pretty much all the gb roms available and they all had some sort of issue that made my phone try and implode. This xquizit one seems quite stable and performs as I want it to, just... missing a little personalization. Basically what I want to do is change the ui "blue" to a purple. something like cm7 purple punch theme.
Thanks for any info/advice!
Theme chooser is in AOSP based roms only. Examples, cm, pa, PAC, aokp, etc. The only gb rom we have with that feature is cm7.

I've been trying different ROM and each one seems to have their own unique hiccups. I'm looking for a ROM that stable and have all the features as a stock ROM. So far the closest to that is Aurora Full Note7 by Lanc-City. The only issues I'm having is that it sometimes it lag, mms group text doesn't work, and charging does not charge right.
[ROM] Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1 MM V3.2 (8/24/16) [910T/910W8/910T3] has been good, however, the dev has moved on so there is no continued development on it.

If you want everything working then go stock, root, install xposed with your favorite modules and get a good launcher.
I go back and forth between stock and project L ROM by Lanc-City.

I was using EPJ2 for a while and it's the best stock update so far. Had no issues with barely any lag. But I rooted I am now using Aurora 3.1 since I miss my note 7 lol. I had to use Textra since group messaging isn't working and no wifi calling. It's so far filling that void. I'm sure a lot of ex note 7 users can relate.
AICP and Broken are amazing
My daily driver, seemingly forever, will remain Emporia ROM (AKA Rapture ROM) on 5.1.1 Lollipop
I don't have an explanation why, but this ROM is WAY more fluid in every single aspect of the UI than any other ROM on marshmallow or Lollipop, and I have tried them all. Yes I am aware you can set animation speeds to be faster, etc. But even with them set to the default speed of 1x (I default use .5x for most), the entire ROM is more FLUID. Each transition is more smooth, every app opens faster and without lag, scrolling in every single app is WAY more fluid, etc. I actually noticed a huge visual difference between this ROM and stock or custom MM. The user experience is just way better in every way than Maximum Overdrive, Stock MM, Stock LL, etc.
Battery life is approximately the same for me on both MM and LL using Greenify on both. Doze doesn't seem to make a difference at all for me, when using greenify on both versions of Android. I get within 15 minutes of SOT on either one, so battery life is practically the same.
Finally, Lollipop still has all the features that Samsung so foolishly removed in MM! Namely, Smart Select is still amazing, it still has the engine for optical character recognition that is missing in MM, it still can select multiple things, and it can still open apps if it detects and address/phone number/etc!
So, basically, Emporia is the best ROM for me, and I have literally tried all of them. I do miss the full screen action memo's of Lollipop, but the extreme speed and fluidity throughout the system, never encountering a single bug, and the amazing features still present in Smart Select beat out all the insignificant improvements of MM.
Plus, I ported an AOSP theme for the notification area to Emporia ROM, that makes it a much more lovely experience.

Is this the stock that you used?

My daily driver is the N5/N7_6.0.1_port V1 and I use Nova launcher, a dark icon pack, dark wallpaper and (Google-inspired) Material Design dark from the samsung theme store. Basically looks like clean, dark AOSP on top and has all the Samsung features underneath.
Everything from the font and theming is smaller and more refined in the Note 5 which makes a huge difference to me and really is a big reason why the Note 5's screen looks more nicer than the Note 4 screen imo (they're both 1440p!).
Everything is quite stable but the stock camera app doesnt work (for me, I dont know abt others) (I use a third party app) and I also use a third party app for video playback (I cant find the stock video app). Keep in mind this is a chinese n5 port and there is some chinese characters next to the time and date. Time to brush up on some chinese I guess. (I havent seen any other chinese on it thou lolz)
Its pretty good for a port though based on fluidness. And yes I tried the Emporia ROM recommended earlier. I loved it and everything WaterMan said was true but the Note 4 default theming and fonts are too big imo for a quad HD screen. Also that's where I got my inspiration to get the Material Design dark theme so my notification bar and settings look like stock aosp (Thanks WaterMan!).
I also use a snapdragon-optimized chromium browser so its more snappier.
And that's my daily driver, for now. Lolz
PS: be sure to upgrade to EPE3 (6.0.1) before flashing.

The stock camera was working fine for me...the sports shot, food shot, etc. extensions weren't.
Can you post some screenshots of your setup? ?

I've never used those features before Now I want them!
Here you go!
The red icons are purposely not coherent (egg).
For a minimalistic dark setup, simplistic dark black and/or grey icons maybe some sophistication but very minimal and clean.
I took pics of Material design dark and Material design black themes. (Disclaimar: black theme is $1)

Material design black
I'm using CM-Remix but it's giving me mad problems. Mainly, the Google app keeps crashing and it locks up when rebooting, sometimes requiring 2 or 3 reboots or wiping cache. It's godawful annoying but my hatred for TouchWiz is the only reason I torture myself with this ROM.
I'm looking for a new ROM myself. Looks like a new build of DirtyUnicorns is coming very soon. I may give that another shot.

Weird because I'm using it and I don't have any problems!!
I've been on AICP for several months, very stable. Resurrection Remix is getting close to being pretty stable, it crashes the phone when uninstalling apps - only problem I found that prevented me from dailying it.
Gonna try going back to TW for a while for better camera usage, will be flashing Overdrive 6.0.1 for the first time.

Looks like it but mine was done via OTA before I decided to root.

I have no clue what's going on with my phone as every ROM I tried is either lagging, freeze, or randomly reboot. I'm thinking about going back to stock. When I was on stock it would lag as well but not as bad as what I'm experiencing now. I'm currently using my phone without my microsd card to see if that is the culprit.
Not the stock wallpaper IMAGES, but the Infinity EFFECT which if I'm not wrong, come as a theme and not just a wallpaper. Or if someone could teach me how to rip it from an image of the stock firmware, I'd really appreciate it. I moved to a custom ROM w/Oreo base and I don't like the Oreo infinity wallpapers at all.
Specifically, I used to have the one with stars sprinkled across the background and I really want it back.
I'd like this myself.
People have been trying to port the infinity wallpapers since day 1 (4.21.2017). Nothing is impossible but its extremely doubtful at this point. They're deeply intergrated into system.ui and the only option is flashing a fully ported rom.
