I know making a rom is a lot of time. But my old dream is an aosp rom on my XZ, but my phone's bootloader is locked (Allowed: No) . So i cant flash aosp. But i seen a lot of mods what is creating "someting" aosp. (I hope you understand what i mean ) So if we put everything in a pack and port some aosp apps like settings,gallery,phone etc....
Is it possible? If it is someone can create it?
Thanks!
It's not easy as you think. ROM like that need to be themed (to look like AOSP) in framework and many other places. Porting apps is easiest thing. As now, i can only recommend you these mods:
AOSP themed SystemUI (available for XZ 5.1)
CyanogenMOD messaging app and
Google Dialer (i dunno that it'll work with XZ 5.1)
@ActorTheBest
The best we can do is replace some of the Sony apps with Google apps from Play Store and move some of the ported CM12.1 apps to system->app folder. I also changed some of the icons from AOSP. See attachment as I wanted the same thing.
Hope it helps. BTW, I have eXistenZ 3.1.0 installed on my XZ.
Is there specific Roms for the xperia that are also like? Or gpe?

Does anyone have a functional touchwiz calendar on miui?
i hate the miui one.. i looks so much confusing and the graphics looks ugly
the miui calendar is the only app with a bad ui but much options...
I tried to push the touchwizcalender apk to system/app but somehow i killed
the miui calender and after an calender recovery my calender disappeared
any solutions for this?
TouchWiz apps make use of the TW framework, which is part of the stock Samsung ROMs. If you want to use a TW app on a ROM that isn't based on the stock Samsung ROM, you will need the framework to be built into the ROM. MIUI is based on AOSP, and as such does not contain the TW framework, so unless some devs are able to port TW apps over with the framework, I'm afraid you can't use the TouchWiz calender on your MIUI ROM.
Hello!
I am getting a little into flashing my N7000 and so far I have travelled from rooting, to upgrading to the latest official Note ROM that was released in another country than mine, to SuperNExus to most recently Slim Bean
I am missing a couple of the original apps from the stock ROM (latest one I used was "XXLSZ_Stock_deodexed_rooted_eybee1970")
Apparently, just copying them out from the ZIP file and trying to install them isn't the right way to do.
Among others, I need
* S Note
* The app/function that knows when I plug in my headset and it shows that whole new page
* Dialer
* Keyboard with the digits on top
* Clock / Alarm clock
* S Planner Calendar
Most important is that I want to learn more and understand the main problem.
So copying wasn't the right way.
I have a feeling (based on fragments that I read here and there) that flashing might be the right way, file-permissions and stuff.
If I am on the right track - is there any software/tool that creates a flashable file for me? I have been rooting around inside the ZIP files and I understand some of the ideas, the update-script and so. But trying to make one own from scratch is too hard right now.
Another problem I had once, was the pointer image. Previously, it was a nice little circle. Then at some point (maybe the Nexus ROM) it became a classical window-arrow. I managed to understand how to open an APK, switch out the PNG file and so on. But since I didn't know how to flash in just that APK, I had to flash in the whole ROM from scratch.
I assume that such tool I am asking about previously would have been the solution.
Beside that, I would like to know if anyone knows if there is an original-app-pack for Note already. I need to know the answer for above as well though
Thanks in advance!
[Q] Need some information about the lockscreen in SlimBean/SuperNexus ROM
I installed SuperNexus ROM and after that Slim Bean.
They both had that nice lock screen where you could swipe to bring forth the camera.
What is this lock screen called? I need that so that I can search for info about it.
Among the questions I have now are
* If I change to pattern instead of slide, I loose the ability to have shortcuts. Is there any other way to have shortcuts and pattern?
* When I swipe to the left, I see a + and I can add widgets. However, I can only add one widget and no ability to rescale the widget or anything. Is there a way to add more widgets per page or modifying the widget that is there already, like rescaling it?
Thanks!
The Samsung apps like Snote and Splanner will not work on the non-touchwiz custom roms like supernexus or slimbean. So if you want those apps you will have to flash a TW (touchwiz based) ROM like the alliance ROM. The other features like pagebuddy and the keyboard with digits on top will also be available only in the TW ROMs (you can search apps for the keyboard and pagebuddy and you may find them)

The lockscreen you are talking about is the 4.2 lock screen with lock screen shortcuts. It is a feature of Android 4.2 only. And no u do not have an option for shortcuts on the pattern lock or any of the other secure ways. But you may add a widget for the app on the lock screen clicking on the '+' symbol. And i had read about adding multiple widgets on one page of the lock screen but didn't come across with anything useful then. You can give it a try now.

What does it mean, "touchwiz based ROM". I have seen other terms, "X"-based ROM (maybe CM-based or other terms).
Is touchwiz so much more than just a launcher?

Thank you - this led me to the right direction. Sometimes you just don't know what is a native Android feature and what is a custom one
Well TW ROMs are touchwiz based ROMs. If you look out for the ROMs repository for the note, you'll notice the categories are TW based JB ROM etc. When u see the name of a rom, if there is [TW] written before it's name, it is a touchwiz based ROM. And touchwiz is not just a launcher. Touchwiz is the samsung customised version of Android like the sense UI by htc.

Okay, I understand better now.
I am assuming that you are a Note user. Can you give me your opinion on the difference, if there are any, between a TW based, or others, beside compatibility of a selection of apps and so. Is there any real, big, important difference?
And one more thing. When the term "custom ROM" is used, is that what is meant by it? A custom ROM is per automatic not the original TW in the Galaxy Note case? Or does it mean something else?
The difference between a TW ROM and a non TW ROM like a CM based ROM is in the features. TW ROMs use the stock Samsung created touchwiz roms as a base and build up on that. So u can find the stock apps and everything else with some customisations. Whereas the CM based ROMs are built upon the CyanogenMod which is in many ways similar to the original Android os available on the Google nexus. A custom ROM is a customised ROM developed by a developer. The other type of ROM is the stock ROM which you get preinstalled on your note. So all the ROMs you'll get on xda are custom ROMs developed by certain developer.

Hi,
I see a Rom by ios7 style in Xperia L forum
It was interesting and beautiful
Can any developer create ios 7 by base CM 251 and android 4.4.2 for XSP?
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk
This ROM is not ios 7. It only has ios skinned apps. There's no purpose in making a ROM with these elements as you can install them on any ROM.
If you want ios7 skinned cm look for an ios7 theme for cm on play store. There's probably something there.
If you want ios7 apps, search for inoty and/or ilauncher on Google. You should find a website where there are many ios7 apps for android.

A simple port won't work with that IOS7 ROM as it is based on the xperia l's stock android 4.2.2 ROM and since we are still stuck with ****ty android 4.1.2 you won't be able to port it
lol, how dare you suggest such a dirty crime!

Well a CM based port can work to.
If the OP can find a ROM with an CM base like CM10.2/11 (like we have here at the moment) it can be possible, dont say it is easy but hey.. It is XDA-Developers..
Hi there guys!
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 with lollipop. Instead of touchwiz, iIhave the Google Now Launcher which gives the device a stock lollipop appearance. Now I wanted to know if if could get a stock lollipop look on my whole device like the one on nexus devices. The Google now launcher doesn't change my notification panel or my other apps.
So can anyone tell me how to get the default look on my whole device?

Checkout this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-alpha/help/galaxy-a3-a5-a7-themes-apk-theme-store-t3131852
Google Now Launcher is just a launcher. It will only replace TouchWiz's launcher - not the entire UI. To get the looks of stock Lollipop, you'll need to install an AOSP based ROM that is available for your phone or install a theme (or stock firmware based ROM) that looks similar to the theme and UI of stock Lollipop.
Simple TWRP recovery script that uninstall the following default CM apps (nothing wrong with this apps just personal pref):
1) AudioFX (makes my speaker's volume really low)
2) CMFileManager ( i prefer root explorer)
3) DownloadProviderUi (app that just show download folder)
4) Eleven (default music app)
5) Gello (default browser)
6) Stk (SIM info app)
All apps are safe to remove.
Just install .zip via TWRP recovery and reboot.
Every time i installed a new cm build, i had to manually removed this apps, so i made a automation script.
Hope its useful to somebody else!
I'm trying to make this script interactive, asking the user for confirmation at every app before deleting, but i cant find the documentation to do this. Can someone give me a hint?
thx!
Pogui
EDIT: Added new cleaner script for LineageOS 14.1
this is what I was looking for, cause i'm too lazy to delete them 1 by 1 from system.
but hey dude could you make it as installer too, i means I want to replace stock cm14.1 app with google app with zip.
(e.g replace:
stock calendar with google calendar
stock clock with google clock
stock calculator with google calculator
stock dialer with google dialer
stock contact with google contacts
stock keyboard with google keyboard
remove trebuchet & add pixel launcher
) could you make it dude?

Sure, working on it. I think i can make it interactive too (select which apps to remove/replace). It's there a problem if i use openGapps builds binaries to make this?

Hi, Ive been using this since release. THANKS!
With unofficial Lineage OS builds rolling out, can we expect a version for it?
Id love a version that removes the default launcher as well.
Ive never did any coding myself, but Id like to know how to maintenance a script like that. Is there a decent tutorial normal folks can understand?
