Hi all
So I have an interesting aesthetics / theme question. Here's the background: I have a S5 Dev Edition phone with TWRP. My first custom ROM was Team UBs 24jun version. I really liked the look of it (especially the small fonts and icons) but thought it was a bit unstable so I then installed the unofficial CM 10jun version. That worked well but some apps said they weren't compatible with it. So today I experimented with the new UB 13jul ROM. Unfortunately that wasn't too stable so I went back to the CM one. However after I reinstalled CM it looked quite different, with much larger icons and fonts.
Now in hindsight it looks like I didn't do a complete wipe in between UB and CM the first time around so CM must have picked up the system settings including fonts and icons that UB had installed. This time around after a full wipe CM installed its own defaults, which are much bigger. [I have CM on my Nexus 5 and it looks a lot more like that]. The apps that didn't work by the way do work now.
So my question to you all is do you know what UB's settings are for fonts and icons? I would like to replicate them under CM. Is there a theme setting that contains all of UB's presets?
I should also mention I have the full version of Nova launcher which I installed on CM, and UB had it as well. If it can be changed in Nova setting somewhere please let me now.
thx
PS - I tried to post this in the dev section under UB but it didn't let me, so posted it here.

Well, the easiest thing you could do is under nova launcher settings, go to look and feel, you can change the font and icon size there. I believe it only applies to launcher settings, so it won't change any of the system fonts or sizes. For those you just go to settings, display and there's a font section there... as far as I know themed roms occasionally change the DPI of the entire system, to give everything a cohesive feeling, but there are also a lot of things that need to also be modified when you change the DPI, so exactly copying the look of a particular ROM is not quite as simple as it sounds.
Hope this helps.
DPI question solved
Hi
So I figured out the best way to set the DPI is to download texdroider from the play store. It handles it across the board for the device and everything looks great. I set my DPI to 370 btw.
Thx
Hi all, as the subject states does anyone know of a custom rom (slimmed preferably) that has black system UI (toggles, settings, dialer etc) running 5.1.1 for the n910f?
Anyone, anyway possible?
I'd recommend SimplRom v5.
It has a built in themer called SimplTool- it lets you colour everything to whatever you want so I'm sure you could colour different elements to make a black theme of your liking!
Plus it's super fast and highly reliable!
Just read the thread a little as some people have had issues- also backup your apps using Titanium as your google apps may not re-download when you install the ROM (this happened to me but it's a minor bug and the ROM is more than worth it).
Enjoy!
Hope it helps!
For apps definitely try Team Black Out if you haven't heard of them...I LOVE to black out my phones....lol
Can You please share your experience here ?
Havoc Latest build here
MI 9T Global , Latest Stock android 9 Miui 11 tested havoc / bootleggers / AOSIP
OK, in the past i tried almost all the roms that are available for the Redmi Note 5 PRO...
For the 9T all this 3 ROMS ( havoc / bootleggers / AOSIP ) are the same PIE version as my Redmi Note 5 pro....
-Same default apps each rom has, custommization, menus, options, sounds, boot animations... so if you are familiar ... it's the same thing
This 3 ones doesn't mess with the "mac adress" i don´t know what it is, but if you flash for example Lineage OS (mi 9t) and try to move to another rom you'll lose wifi in your phone , can re enable it by doing a not very complicated process... but even if you use miflash and flash Stock Firmware and Relock the bootloader that "mac adress thing" is going to stay and your wifi isnt going to work, you have to do the solution they provide to have wifi back, so i never flashed lineage... It's weird how flashing via Miflash all to stock cant solve that thing... I NEVER TESTED LINEAGE THIS IS WHAT I KNOW....
For the others ... all those 3 have same Mi 9t base funcionallity, they took the "base implemetation from Havok Dev" so ... , same issues for all this 3, double tap to wake doesn't work.... there is a module for magisk that force it but never tried , i use "raise to wake" then fingerprint, yes, fingerprint doesnt work with the screen off, you have to wake it...
OTG USB detection is random... not always, i have to reboot 1 or 2 times, until it can read it...
Hardware:
Actually in havoc, camera hardware retraction works well, no issues, no rare sounds... some times pop up camera opens randomly, maybe some incompatibility with 3rd apps using it and not closing it, but if that happens i open the camera, switch to selfie cam then to primary and it retracts again, then i reboot...for... just in case
GPS, proximity, all hardware working... led light ... all as far as i know....
There isnt a OTA working on custom Roms... y'know just click the button and automatic update happens, maybe because we dont have a official 100% functional TWRP or Mantainers need to pay some online storage.... for example if you do a factory reset in system options (any of this 3 roms) it only sends you to TWRP and dont wipe anything....
I was tired not having double tap to wake... so used mi flash and went Full Stock android 9 miui 11 Global.... my mistake, i relocked the ****ing bootloader, for my surprise it was instant this second time, i didnt have to wait a week or month, was just instantly...
And here i am again, in havoc...
This momment devs are almost jumping to Android 10 in all AOSP roms...
This roms are stable, my MI 9T is my main phone for work ... i need it working 100% and this ROMS are good to go.... i dont play too much, just clash royale....
battery depends on your use...
I want to try Paranoid Quartz, but there isn't a tutorial to "move safely between android 9 and 10 roms) , i want to make a step by step guide how to move, in what order, what TWRP, what firmware....etc
well thats my impression, sorry for my poor english im lazy to use translator.....
Rigth now i have the knowledge to unlock bootloader, install pie TWRP, install pie aosp roms, go back to stock.... not more....
Im staying in pie havoc for now, Dev is a good guy , good group in telegram....
And remember..... NEVER WIPE VENDOR, IT´S A ****ING LAW.... LOL
have a nice day
Hey guys,
I'll soon be getting the Poco F2 Pro and like I've done for previous devices with an active rom development community, just wondering what is your current rom of choice and for what reasons.
This can be a place just to share your experience of the various roms available to us and provide a summary of what you like about it, frequency of updates, battery, features, bugs etc.
Looking forward to hearing back...
oneOS until they didnt having some crazy idea to charge weekly updates 2e,so they stop to developing it because a lot of people didnt like this idea.
xiaomi.eu is also good. I am using it instead of oneOS

Thanks for the reply.
What do you like about it, in comparison to stock rom etc?
Anyone any other suggestions? I see there's over 15 custom roms for this , which is great, though would be keen to hear people's experience with some of them.
I'm currently tempted by Havoc, just because I've enjoyed that rom on previous devices. Just I wish to avoid any bugs and just want a feature-rich stable rom, no background drain or significant things broken...
Xiaomi.eu is a good rom. I am on weekly. Every friday I got updates, also you have stable. On weekly ,you get first the latest updates from china ROM. Battery is also good too. No bugs or any bug problems with this ROM

Nice, stable roms are always a winner.
Have you tried any of the custom roms?
I used to love custom roms in general but then found myself just valuing stable stock much better these days. I do miss some features from custom roms though, but stock does just seem the best in some ways.
Unless someone can suggest a custom feature-packed rom that doesn't sacrifice performance...
Only OneOS that eas the best rom after bootleggers that I have on 8pro
for aosp like custom rom ,i'll choose crdroid ,because its stable enough , lots of customization , up t0 date .
for miui based = xiaomi.eu, im using it now , had to switch to xiaomi.eu from crdroid because of the camera .
and for android 10 will choose evolution rom.

Is it possible to use banking apps and payment apps with xiaomi.eu rom? Does it have any contraindications to use xiaomi.eu instead of stock? Thank you.

Thanks for the response.
When you say the camera, is that because you missed miui camera and prefer it over gcam? That's my thoughts too.... Will try crdroid on Tues when I can unlock, but I almost sense I'll go to stock miui eu but rooted and debloated

Last stable and weekly EU rom pass safety net and have the playstore certified whitout root.
xiaomi.eu is the best one for me.
Since end of January, the weekly builds are good, they pass safetynet, play store is certified, google pay works, all my bank apps work, even enterprise office365 is fine (without root of course, I haven't found any hack for this with magisk activated).
MIUI 12.5, Xiaomi phone app, no add, various tweaks included, more responsive and better battery life than stock.
A no brainer if you want a MIUI based ROM!
This is now my daily driver for my work phone!
Just missing an android 11 fully compatible TWRP (impossible to remove these xiaomi.eu icons with the current version) for Nirvana

Does call recording work too?
Is dual sim active with a 5G sim?
Xiaomi.eu automatically updates itself via OTA when there are new builds?
Then I unlock the bootloader, install the TWRP, install the weekly xiaomi.eu and all the banking apps, playstore, etc. do they work or do I have to do something else?
Thank you.

I'm on Xiaomi.eu too and I can confirm that call recording works well because of Xiaomi dialer in this ROM, there is even an option for automatic recording.
As for the 5G and dual sim - from what I know this is technically unpossible. There probably are no phones at the moment which support dual sim with 5G.

As for the dual sim with 5G, I mean one sim in 5G and one in 4G. If you read in the instruction manual it says that they would have activated this function with an update ...

Do you have a link to the TWRP you used to install xiaomi.eu?
I think I want to try it, especially if you say there are no problems with banking apps...
But you say root doesn't work?
I am currently using ANCIENTOS, a lot of customization and options and especially a brightness control for AOD.
The autonomy is very good and the FOD is fast.
The play store is not certified, but my banking application is working.
I tested many oreo roms but quick tile doesn't work, on some camera too and on few of them, bluetooth address was 00:00:00:00:5A:AD and it enables after 6 or 7 seconds
I also tested the stock oreo rom but if you delete chrome or modify it, many Google apps stops working
Well, after trying many times stock oreo rom and other roms, i finally decided to go to stock oreo, but i feel kinda limited on things like dark theme and some few things, substratum didn't help
