Holo theme (officially) removed? - General AOKP Discussion

I'm currently in the latest nightly for M7UL, running KitKat 4.4.2 and noticed that the progress bar as well as several other (if not all) holo styles are gone. Is that just a change on AOKP or is it an official change in KitKat?
Why I ask? I miss the futuristic holo style.

According to the corresponding merge (http://gerrit.aokp.co/#/c/14221/) it was done to make the theme more consistent. Make sure to read the comments at gerrit for the ideas and thoughts behind this.

Is there any comparison matrix available comparing features of different ROM's?

Is there any thread around comparing different ROM's available feature wise? Kind of a matrix? With so many ROM featuring several common features and many unique ones it will be helpful if you are trying to find a ROM with similar feature if you are having trouble with what you are on.

Don't think there are any at the moment..Maybe you should start a thread like that in the General section.
Good idea, but it could be huge and very time consuming keeping it up to date.
I saw something like this, I think in the Nexus 7 forums. It was just an Google Drive spreadsheet
My exams are just over, I might have the time to do that.
Any list of a few ROMs I should definitely try out?

Try them all for a good comparison
There is something like.. 60-70 ROMs o_o
And I'd most likely make it into a Google spreadsheet, based on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006616
Btw, would you guys want a detailed comparison, like for example
Nav Bar Height | Nav Bar Colour | Nav Bar Transparency
--------Yes-------------------No---------------------Yes---------------
or Customizable Navbar
------------- Yes

May be it can be started with ROM's from Original Android Development Forums with basic feature comparison like default Kernel, Navbar Customization (Yes, No, CM, AOKP), Pie (CM or PA), PA Colours, Center clock etc., per App DPI, ribbon etc.

Yup, I've made a rough draft but I don't have much support from the members, might just consider abandoning the project.. BRB while I find my thread.

That looks great. Maybe we can start with a simpler (smaller?) format and smaller set of feature and make the spreadsheet shared so everyone can update it with their experience. Also instead of 60 something ROM, ROM's in original android development could be starting point.

Sorry, it's my first time messing with Google Docs, is there any way to moderate edits before they are saved? I think if I open the doc, some jokers will definitely delete the entire doc or something.
Thanks for the suggestions ^_^
Its a good project for someone.

Well I see a shared google doc for Nexus colors or something, we can make something similar. I'll try to dig something today to figure out what we can do.

[Q] Custom tiles to be added to SlimLP ?

Hey folks,
Slim is my favorite base ROM, ever.
I used it quite a lot on my TMO Note 3 SlimKat and LOVED that you had an option to add custom quick toggles that pointed to any app we wanted.
Like, I could add a Tasker quick toggle, or a Pandora quick toggle.
Will this feature be added to SlimLP anytime in the future?
I'm not asking for an ETA.
I'm just wondering if it has been discussed, or if maybe you already tried and found it would not work, or something else?
I knew there would be someone with this same question! I just got back on Slim from a small hiatus and wanted to add a quick tile for Hotspot. If adding this in hasn't been discussed yet, should we post it as a feature request in the appropriate area?

The Xposed module GravityBox has custom tiles. But they are terrible in comparison to how well Slim had theirs setup. I really miss the Slim custom tiles. Hope it gets added to Marshmallow soon.
But Slim development overall has been slow the last year for most devices. I think they had a team shake-up or something.

They have had several change. Hit up their site for more information: http://slimroms.org - They had some member turnover, some legal stuff to deal with, a new website, etc... I have been away for about a year now and went to their website with a "Woah. Holy crap?" reaction. Like the OP, I am definitely not pushing this for an ETA or to drive dev immediately. Just looking to see if it's been discussed to get them back, and if not, if we should log a feature request.
Right now, I am just really happy to be back on slim.

Sony RRO layers

Just a question, is there any OnePlus X rom that is compatible with RRO Layers ? If yes, wich ones ?
Most i can find use/support the CM Theme Engine, wich means they aren't compatible if i understood it properly.
In case you didn't notice, Layers is Depreciated now, Substratum has taken its Place. Some Google-fu will get you better results.
And yes, many ROMs use(d) Layers, a lot of them have now moved up from RRO to OMS, you can check my Index for a list of all available ROMS.

Thanx for the info.

The death of CMTE and possibilities for a new one

We all probably remember CMTE (CyanogenMod Theme Engine) and how it was killed in LineageOS. I had an idea of what could be added. In Paranoid Android 7, there is a new setting called "Color Engine" and what it allows you to do is change the accent color and other things to fix your needs. What if this was added to LineageOS? I feel it could be a good idea and it makes sense. Some people may prefer to just change the accent color. Now, I know, you'll say "Just get Substratum!" but so people don't want root. There are themes that let you do things like that but having this baked into the system would be awesome! :good: What would you like? Post your ideas in the comments!
substratum
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
The LineageOS team has been actively working on a Theme Engine.
It looks, to me, that they can't port the old CMTE as a whole but, they are trying to salvage what they can of the old CMTE and rework the it into LineageOS as a whole new Theme Engine.
If you want to see, just a portion of their work, then you can see it on the following Gerrit link.
https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/theme_engine
Just because it's been a while doesn't mean that it won't happen.
Yes, Substratum and a few others are out there that individuals can use in the meantime but, it'll come.
Patience is a virtue...
