Are there any Lollipop TW ROMs that currently have inverted AOSP apps (dialer, contacts, clock etc) as an optional Aroma install? I'm looking to update my old install of Project Chaos but would really miss all the majestic blackened apps I've grown to love.
Also are there any black/blue or holo themes for Lollipop? I find Material Design and the sheer amount of white incredibly power wasteful and horrid to look at since it doesn't take advantage of OLED at all.
As far as I know, I was the only other person doing this, and I stopped a while ago as moved to CM
Best bet is to do you it yourself dude

Hi guys,
Like many of you, I've tested lots of different ROMs. After all, that's the beauty of owning a Google Phone.
However, I can't seem to find ONE ROM that fits all my needs. I was wondering how many of you would like something like this:
- Stock-based
- MIUI notification bar toggles (Cyanogen's would also be fine though)
- Battery Percentage Icon
- Themable (AOSP)
- Compatible with most kernels out there (so that we can choose whichever we want)
- No copyrighted things from other devices (ie. ringtones, apps, etc.)
I've yet to find a ROM that suits all these needs. Cyanogen is not stable or smooth enough to my liking, when compared to the stock experience. MUIU is beautiful, but a bit heavy and not really optimized for SAMOLED (even the darker theme uses very little pure black). Most of the other ROMs don't have notification bar toggles. The ones that do are based on Cyanogen or MUIU, so it's not much different from using one or the other.
The closest ROM I've seen to this is Amethyst, but it's been discontinued by the developer, and it's a bit limited on the notification toggle options. Heck, MIUI is perfect with so many toggles all easily accessible from the notification bar.
Does anyone else feel that way? Maybe if enough people would be into this, perhaps a developer could feel it's worth doing something like that. Or am I alone in my wishes?
Regards!
I too have went through a ton of roms on this phone, and the one that i keep coming back too is the NSCollab series of roms (currently on 1.0.43). it has the stock launcher so it is really smooth and has the app drawer that i love, also has notification buttons and other settings from cyanogen. You can also flash the theme chooser to have a few different looks to the rom, but the best thing i have like about it is that its really stable and fluid
Zuluzulu might be what you are looking for. Its really cool looking and stable. The batterylife is incredible, and it is clockable to 1.4 ghz since it use the netarchy kernel.
CM even the latest RC 1 consumes all my battery in less than 24 hours.

You can flash the systemui.apk that I made over a stock rom and get the notification toggles and still be able to theme the phone but be ware if you flash a theme copy the drawables to your system ui or loose the toggles. Its in nexus a themes and apps

Guys I found this new ROM for Galaxy S fascinate and it is absolutely fantastic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1085298&highlight=galaxy+s
It combines the MIUI launcher with the touchwiz framework. Can this somehow be ported to Galaxy S 2 also? The githib source for this rom with all the smali code is given below:
https://github.com/teamsbrissenmod
Sadly I am a real noob when it comes to coding and porting. I think this is revolutionary and requires porting. What do you think guys? If anyone can help/teach me then I would gladly do it.
What it will be nice to see is a MIUI theme over a stock ROM.
ATM for my needs CM7 is just below any stock SGS/SGS2 ROM (see: native support for divx/xvid, battery life, touchwizz features, other features). I just like the MIUI theme (status bar, menus, etc). Actually I like brighter colors instead black colors (white instead black)
That is what thos rom is. It is miui theme over stock touchwiz rom. So we are not sacrificing on any functionality from the stock rom.

Anyone? I'm tired of black/dark themes.. And the dark status bar on the AMOLED displays makes the screen degradation to be so damn visible on fullscreen apps/videos..

I currently use AOKP, before was on CM9. I really dislike Samsung's ROMS. I even took it away 1 hour apart from my purchase to the note.
Then thinking? When would I ever use Samsungs? Well only if a Dev was able to port the :
1) Stock AOSP ICS Phone, Messaging & Contacts app Maybe Camera App too. Include all ICS Gapps and remove Samsung's old ****.
2) Total and clear theming for Samsung's TW look, turn it perfectly to an ICS look ( Pretty possible by theming ) ( AOSP ICS Lockscreen ) ( Editable Power Widgets, ICS look )
3) On top of all, optimize the TW Rom as most devs in the Development thread do for Samsung's Roms, of course.
By then we won't lose the functionality of the S-Pen or the S-Apps, get the Stock AOSP look with its Apps. Would pretty much feel like you're on a mock-up CM9 or so heh ! Just an idea
Any Dev willing to work on a such project?
So I got my (almost) perfect setup on my N9005 with X-Note 7 (4.3 based), Custom N3 Kernel v8, Holo Theme, lots of xposed modules to tweak visuals etc. even more, lightning launcher and appsi sidebar.
I currently can't really think of much that is missing still that made me fall in love with aosp based all-in-one roms like bam in the first place.
Even halo and floating windows (well we got pen-window anyway on the note 3) can be enabled with xposed modules.
Is there anything I am forgetting? Don't get me wrong, I love aosp and really hate the touchwiz crap (at least if you dont theme it) and all that bloatware, but the advanced spen functionalities require the touchwiz framework.
On my note 1 I eventually ended up using JellyBam (thats bam-android now, all in one type aosp rom) because it offered so much more options, and with the "forbidden" kernel which was also cm based the thing ran like a beast.
But now that xposed got so big and theres a modules for all the nice features that get added to the aosp all in one type roms, this changes the game a bit...
---
I already asked people about benchmarks to see if there is any performance differnce between the touchwiz and aosp builds, but it was basically the same. (cm reported benchmarks were a bit lower than my benchmark results, but only tiny amount, and this could have also been caused by me using slight oc, and cm ppl not...)
So are there any hot features that is offered by the CM-based roms that would outweight missing out on the spen functionalities?
---
This thread is a bit silly I know.. but I'd just like to hear some opinions.
I remember a few years back a Dev in the HTC forums managed to strip all Sense UI parts from the ROM leaving just the Camera running on the original framework. He then put in all AOSP counterparts including the SystemUI, so everything looked and pretty much was AOSP, but you also got the Sense Camera. I was wondering if anyone had seen anything like that or had any ideas if that could be be accomplished on the S5 as I love the S5 Camera and battery life but prefer the AOSP apps.
I know it could partly be achieved with debloating and theming, but wonder if there was a cleaner way of doing it?
Would like to see something happen on this front. I allways custom after unboxing and now realising im missing quite a bit without original stock cam.
