To start with, this guide assumes that your phone is rooted and has Clockwork Recovery Mod (CWM) installed. If this is not the case, please see any of the below links to get started:

Now lets get started. First, how does one install mods on Android? Lets do a NANDroid backup to begin:
1) Turn your phone off.
2) While holding the Volume Up button press the power button until the screen turns on and you will see a black screen with an Android on it and a lot of numbers and words that will mean nothing to you. This is called the Bootloader. In both the bootloader and the recovery mod you will use the volume buttons to navigate between options and the power button to select one.
3) Navigate down to Recovery option and select it.
4) Navigate down to backup and restore
5) Navigate down to backup and select it and let it run.
ROMs:
Stock 2.3.3 Full ROM
This is just for those looking for the complete bone stock, full 2.3.3 ROM. Use it to return to stock but remember it will remove your root.
Here is the update for GRH78C!
Here is the update for GRH78 Only!
Finally, here is just the radio for 2.3.3:
For GRI54 (XXKB3)
For GRI40 (XXKB1)
Master's Stock 2.3.3 Deodexed
2.3.3
This ROM is no longer being updated. It will be removed from this list once it is no longer up-to-date with Google's OTA updates!
There's not going to be a lot you can see different here from stock, but trust me there is one very important change under-the-hood; its deodexed. For those not on the up-and-up of Android terminology let me explain: Android uses these files called odexes which make it so that things boot and load a little bit faster however these files also make it pretty darn difficult to theme anything. For this ROM, Master has gone through each and every one of those files and done the meticulous job of getting rid of all of those little files so now you're free to theme your stock ROM to your hearts content! Its available in four delicious vanilla gingerbread 2.3.3 flavors: Stock kernel rooted, Stock kernel unrooted, Voodoo Sound/Color enchanced Kernel rooted, and Voodoo Sound/Color enchanced Kernel unrooted. Yummy!
CyanogenMod 7 Nightlies:
2.3.3
Most Stable Release: RC3
CyanogenMod is the powerhouse of ROMs for Android. It is based on Android Open Source Platform (AOSP) and adds some nice tweaks like power controls in the notification drop down panel and some nice lockscreen tweaks among many others. Its a fast and powerful ROM that also tends to have pretty decent battery life, however if you're looking for constant stability remember this ROM is no where near a final release. Its pretty stable for a nightly release, but its definitely not as stable as some of the others available.
Unlike any other ROM, when you flash CyanogenMod you must also flash a zip file called gapps which includes standard google apps. This should be done before rebooting the device but after flashing the ROM.

MIUI
2.3.3
Most Stable Release: 1.3.18
MIUI is probably one of the most different ROMs available. Its sort of a love it or hate it ROM as it has a lot of the look of iOS while also bringing a lot of interesting features to Android. The stock MIUI launcher doesn't have an app drawer but instead stores all of your apps on homescreens, much like iOS. You can make folders to store apps (and these can be placed on the dock to simulate an app drawer, and then you can sort that folder by most used or alphabetically) or you can chose to go with a 3rd party launcher. Either way, MIUI is definitely worth a flash if you're looking for a completely different take on Android.
Since MIUI is developed by a team in China, their releases are in chinese but don't fret; Markhuk over at miui-dev.com releases a language pack. This works exactly like the gapps for CM7. First you flash the ROM then flash the language pack. Its generally available in a number of languages though as of now I'm only aware of it being available in Chinese, English, Spanish, and Italian.
▽▲AXURA Nexus Edition▲▽
2.3.3
This ROM is no longer being updated. It will be removed from this list once it is no longer up-to-date with Google's OTA updates!
Master has ported his much loved Axura ROM to the Nexus and after some initial hiccups all seems to be running smoothly. This ROM is based on 2.3.3 GRI54 but is deodexed and mostly themed for your pleasure. It also includes Netarchy's extremely stable 1.2.5 stock CFS kernel out of the box so you get an extremely quick ROM mixed with a more colorful stock experience. All and all a beautiful ROM with a solid core is what you get here! Now featuring j0hnZ accurate battery mod baked right in!
Paul O'Brien's MoDaCo:
2.3.3
Paul's ROM is definitely one of the most stable I've used and has probably the best battery life. Its very basic and is available for download in a few flavors of lightness which include either all of his tweaks, some, or none. The one annoyance I have with his ROM is the inclusion of security software that runs every boot much akin to the Windows Security center popups, something I definitely don't want on my phone. Overall though if you want a fast, stable, and basic ROM this is a great choice.
GingerS v0.8 Small:
2.3.3
GingerS is all about being lightweight and fast. Currently it packs Netarchy's 1.2.7 CFS kernel as well as a few awesome tweaks like SIP calls over 3G. If you're looking for a very stock experience with a bit more speed, give this one a flash!
NSCollab
2.3.3
You love the awesome features of CyangenMod but you want a rom that feels a little more stock? Frank707 has you covered! This cool new ROM comes out of the box with Netarchy's 1.2.8 CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) Kernel baked right in which means you're also getting Voodoo sound and color! Unlike regular CyanogenMod this comes with all your google apps already inside, no extra flash required. Also, this hot little number is now available to download through ROM Manager premium!
ZeroXS
2.3.3
This ROM is all about the little things that truly differentiate it. On first boot you won't be shocked by a fancy boot animation, or blown away by a completely themed look, but you will find your eye drawn to the niceties included. For one, Titanium backup is pre-installed making setting this ROM up one of the easiest I've used by far. Other small theming choices include a custom themed launcher and a change to cool blue from the stock Gingerbread green. This fun ROM is for those of you looking for a very stock ROM but that has a just a hint of the flair that is running under the hood.
[email protected]'s SuperAOSP for Nexus S
2.3.3
Much like CyanogenMod, this is based directly off of the AOSP code Google pushes out but its compiled by [email protected] rather than Team Douche. Also, much like Axura this little honey has some very nice theming touches built right in as well as a few special themes in the Theme Chooser. Many of you may know it from back on the Nexus S and now we've got a stable version here. On top of the myriad cool features in this ROM, you also get SUPsetup which among many other things, lets you do a lot of heavy customizations that would otherwise had to have been done in Root Explorer or via ADB neither of which is a fun process. Those of you who are fans of AOSP but are unfamiliar with this ROM should definitely give it a shot. Heck, everyone should try it out!
Honeycomb 3.0 Full sdk port
3.0
THIS IS VERY MUCH AN IN-DEVELOPMENT ROM AND SHOULD ONLY BE FLASHED WITH A LOT OF CAUTION AND A DASH OF BOLDNESS. IF YOU DOUBT YOUR ABILITY TO DEAL WITH POSSIBLE DISASTER DO NOT FLASH THIS. I REPEAT: DO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE CONSEQUENCES. Now that I've gotten the warning out of the way, this is something I'm personally very excited about; this is Android 3.0 Honeycomb (sort-of) working on the Nexus S! Now, remember, this is no where near finished and there is a lot of stuff not functioning including a few essentials like a phone/dialer app or the fact that the screen seems to flicker on and off. Don't even bother with this if you're new to flashing ROMs and are worried about your warranty, this bad boy is for experienced flashers ONLY!
Now that you've chosen a rom, how do you install it?
1) Download the ROM of your choice and place it on the root of your SD Card.
2) Boot back into your bootloader and get into recovery.
3) Navigate down to mounts and storage and select it.
4) Navigate down to format data and select it.
5) Navigate down to format cache and select it.
6) Navigate down to +++++Go Back+++++ and select it.
7) Navigate down to advanced and select it.
8) Navigate down to Wipe Dalvik Cache and select it.
9) Navigate down to +++++Go Back+++++ and select it.
10) Navigate down to install zip from sdcard and select it.
11) Navigate down to choose zip from sdcard
12) Navigate down to the ROM zip on your SD card and select it.
13) Navigate down to Yes, select it and let it run.
14) Once its done reboot your phone!
You have now installed a custom ROM!
Oh no! I'm bricked!
If you've modified your phone and have either majorly screwed something up or just want to get everything back to stock there are a few ways to do that and you can find guides here:
Stock 2.3.1 NANDroid: Use this with CWM to restore an image of the stock rom and go back to square one.
Odin back to stock: Odin is a program used by Samsung to install firmware onto handsets and this is the last ditch method for getting things working again. It will wipe all of your programs and return you to bone stock, no root no nothing.
Themes:
You've got a custom ROM but now you want to make it look a little bit more like something that matches your style. You have a few choices and here they are:
Jabbawalkee's MattedBlues
Available For: CM7 RC1, CM7 Nightly #8, CM7 Nightly #11, CM7 RC2
Jabbawalkee has ported his stunningly pretty MattedBlues theme over to the Nexus S. Unlike some of the other themes available this one adds not just a splash of color to the stock gingerbread look but also adds some more gradient paired with a nice custom font. This one's only currently available for CyanogenMod7 RC1, nightlies #8 and #11. If you're looking for some nice cool blues but don't want the stark blacks of stock gingerbread this theme is absolutely one of the best available! You can also find some alternate versions of Jabbawalkee's theme here: MattedBlues V2.1 Alternate Status Bar Colors.
Stock-Ish Axura
Available For: Axura NSE
Master has now released a theme to take his heavily themed Axura ROM back to a more stock feeling. If you like the power, stability, and other amazing tweaks in Axura but want your phone to retain that stock Gingerbread feel this ones for you!
Sonnysekhon's myriad of themes!
Available For: CM7 RC2, CM7 Latest Nightly, MoDaCo r14
Sonnysekhon is an amazing theme dev who has worked on themes for more devices than most people have owned. He has released a total of eight (count 'em, EIGHT) amazing themes and a modification pack to change the color of one of them to any of of eight other colors and these are available for all ROMs except GingerS Small and Kimera. Below you'll find a list of his themes with a short description of each:
Lucid:
Lucid is a basic black and white theme with a lot of other cool modifications. It includes a full makeover and Sonny has replaced a lot of the apps with modded ones. You'll find a lot of transparency in this theme but the only modification to the lockscreen is a change of the icon colors.
Sublime, Sublime Cyan, and Sublime Extra Colors:
Sublime is Sonny's take on the stock Gingerbread look. He took the basic color and applied it across the board to make everything look clean and it looks great. He added a Cyan version and later a lot of other colors so now if you want to keep the stock look of Gingerbread but change the color, Sonny has you covered.
Onyx:
Onyx is Sonny's newest release and at first glance might seem to be a lot like Lucid, but once you look closer you see that the transparency has been replaced with stark black and white. Also, he has added a black&white version of his tangerine lockscreen.
Frost:
The best description for Sonny's Frost theme is just think of the inverse of Onyx. If you like simple but want something a little brighter than Onyx then Frost is for you.
Tangerine:
Tangerine is a simple black and orange theme that looks quite slick. It is simple but with a touch of flair and a bit of deviation from the stock look of gingerbread.
Monochrome:
Monochrome is slick, silver, and sleek.
Vivid:
Vivid is Sonny's newest theme and its exactly what its name claims it is: Vivid. Beautiful and colorful, this is a great theme to show off just how wonderfully your SAMOLED display shows colors.
DjDarkKnight's DarkGinger:
Available For: CM7 RC2, CM7 Nightly#19
DjDarkKnight has created a beautifully dark theme for CyanogenMod7 that makes over everything look dark but accessible. I've been a fan of his themes for awhile and if you're looking for a great theme that is dark, check this out. Also, DJ has made a flashable zip of themed google apps (like Gmail, maps, etc) so you get even more dark goodness!
Jonathon Grigg's Unity:
Available For: CM7 RC2, Stock ROMs
Jonanthon's goal with this theme is simple: Unite hardware and software to give you the most continuity in your Nexus S experience. There are still some feature being added but for now, he's got an amazing base for his goals of a unified Nexus visual experience. This baby is currently available in two ROM flavors; CM7 RC2 and more stock ROMs including MoDaCo, Axura, and Stock deodexed.
Mythamp's AMPED! Theme:
Available For: Stock ROMs
Imagine a world where instead of stock Gingerbread looking matte and uninteresting, every things is sleak, smooth and colorful. Well, imagine no more; Mythamp (the original creator of the theme Bliss which SonnySekhon had been maintaining) has updated and ported his beautifully slick theme to the Nexus S and given it a more suitable name! AMPED is all about keeping that stock feel while making everything look just better and if that is something you're into give this sexy theme a flash. You can get it on Axura, Stock deodexed, and MoDaCo!
How do I flash a theme?

2) Boot into your recovery.
3) Navigate down to install zip from sdcard and select it.

Kernels:
Below you'll find a list of kernels along with a short description of each!
Netarchy's Kernels:
2.3.2, 2.3.3
Netarchy started releasing kernels for the Evo 4G and has recently started releasing his amazing kernels for the Nexus S!
His kernels come in a few flavors but they're not really that different from each other. Netarchy always has a stable release and an experimental one but I can say from experience that the experimental is just as stable and they both incorporate the Voodoo sound enhancements as well as the ext4 hack however the newest version also incorporates the new Voodoo Color enhancements which I must say are pretty awesome. Also, his newest experimental version also includes BLN support! They are pretty much compatible with everything including stock however there is a specific download of each flavor for CyanogenMod7 so just remember to download the right one. As to choosing between the brain **** scheduler (BFS) or completely fair scheduler (CFS) just try them both and see which one you prefer.
Morfic's Honity12 and Honity14
2.3.2, 2.3.3
This kernel is just a 1.2GHz (Honity12) or a 1.4GHz (Honity14) overclock with no other fancification; it will boot and run at which either 1.2GHz or 1.4GHz. It now includes the most up-to-date Voodoo sound and color modifications as well as BLN! Also, it includes a snazzy boot animation!
(Also available as a test version at 1.5GHz here)
Ogdobber's ☆Jame Bond☆ Kernel:
2.3.2, 2.3.3
This is a modified CyanogenMod7 kernel that includes the ext4 and voodoo sound enhancements as well as BLN! If you want to add those but don't want to deal with other tweaks or overclocking this baby is for you.
How to flash a kernel:
1) Download the kernel of your choice and put it on the root of your SD card.
2) Boot into your recovery.
3) Navigate down to install zip from sdcard and select it.
4) Navigate down to choose zip from sdcard and select it
5) Navigate down to your kernel zip and select it.
6) Navigate down to Yes, select it and let it run.
7) Reboot and enjoy!
*Note about overclocking*
For those looking to overclock a lot of the kernels boot to 1GHz and then require the use of a program like SetCPU to clock it up from there. That link will take you to the developers thread on XDA where he offers his app for free to the XDA community but if you like it and plan to use it, you might consider going to the market and getting his paid version.
*Note about Voodoo Enchancements!*
First of all, much props to SuperCurio for his wonderful work! If you are using a Kernel that implements Voodoo Sound and/or Color enhancements make sure you download his Voodoo Control App from the market and or using his Donate Version as his work is absolutely phenomenal!
*Note about BLN!*
In order to make use of the BLN functions you must first have a kernel that supports it and then download the BLN control app to actually use the functionality. As usual, if you enjoy using this mod I urge you to consider buying the paid BLN control - Pro app, you'll find it has a few more features and its always good to support the devs who work hard to provide us with great new functionality from out devices!

Thank you! excellent guide

looking forward to see much more cool stuff in the future
Great guide. Im sure alot of ppl will find it useful
Great! This is what I've been looking for! Thank you very much!

Well, not really. I mean, you have everything covered. It would be great to keep it updated, although that is going to be hard when more people start to theme. Maybe you can tell a little bit more about the Custom ROMs, like what they do exactly. Now it just says: 'it is fast', or 'good battery life'. I would like to see some information about the extra features every ROM has, if that's possible of course.
By the way, I have a question: I know it isn't necessary anymore to unlock the bootloader, because you can root and install recovery without it. But after you've done that, can you just install any ROM or Kernel here through the normal way? Or do you have to do it through a special way?
I know flashing a Custom ROM wipes your data, but it doesn't wipe ALL your data like unlocking the bootloader does. I just think it will be too complicated for me if you have to flash Custom ROMs with a special way when you've rooted and installed recovery without unlocking the bootloader.

My instructions for installing ROMs, kernels and themes will work for any method of rooting. Flashing a new custom ROM requires that you wipe your device however going from one release of a ROM to the next does not require that and its not quite the same as unlocking the bootloader. When you unlock the bootloader it wipes EVERYTHING; data, cache, dalvik, and SDcard. You lose it all whereas when you install a custom ROM you just lose Apps, account info and settings which can be mostly restored with the use of Titanium Backup.
As for being more specific about what differentiates ROMs, there isn't a lot to say to be honest. Right now there are really not a lot of aesthetic changes in any of them. Most of the differences are going to be in specific tweaks and a lot of times those are not things that Devs release specific information about (heck the CyanogenMod Team doesn't even release changelogs!). I tried to represent each ROM for what it does best IE speed, stability, battery life, etc as those are the things that really differ between each ROM.

Thanks for clearing that up!
I probably shouldn't ask this here, but the themes you mention, what do they change? Do they also change native google apps, and the dialer and icons?
I've always been wondering what the differences between theming through a homescreen replacement and theming through a Custom ROM was. And you can also change icons with BetterCut, which makes three methods to theme...

A theme will change a lot of things depending on how much the themer changed. Of the themes I listed they pretty much all theme everything from google apps to the color of the highlights when you click on a list. You can view screen shots of what all is changed on the threads for each theme.
Thank you
Thank you.
Perhaps you could add a note somewhere in your first posts about flashing sequences (ROM, then kernel, then theme or whatever) and also more specifics on cache clearing after ROM/theme installations?

Just follow the step by step instructions and you'll be fine. If wiping is listed in the steps wipe, if not then don't.
Themes require a rom to be deodexed which stock is not. There are are a few bone stock choices listed in my rom list if you want a theme.

Oh I wasn't really asking for instructions I was just suggesting some additions, but thanks anyway.
Thank you for the guide, helped me in my questions.
Just one more question. Is there any way to uninstall themes and kernels apart from restoring to Nandroid backup?
squattingb said:
you mean ROMs that don't deviate much from stock? I just don't want to flash another ROM because I don't like to having to reorganize all of my widgets and homescreens....
Click to expand...

that only happens if you use stock launcher or LauncherPro
if you use Go Launcher all the settings and widgets remains even after changing ROMs
just restore the backup and you're set

Alright thanks for that tip, I'll check out Go Launcher

The one issue I had with GO launcher was that it always makes my icons look pixelated. I've tried every launcher replacement I can find (ADW, ADWex, Zeam, GO, LauncherPro, and LauncherPro Plus) and I always come back to LauncherPro Plus. Its the one that lets me customize what I want and customize it without any trouble.

INSTALLATION:
1. Download the ROM in the Download Section below.
2. While awaiting download, make a backup of your current rom and data.
3. When download finished, check md5 checksum.
4. Install a SAFE kernel (Philz kernel v4.35 and up or coh Hello World kernel) or if you are already using a custom JB ROM, it's more likely that you are already in a SAFE kernel.
5. Reboot into recovery and make a factory reset, full wipe and format system, preload and data partitions.
6. Flash the ROM and reboot when finished.
7. Setup as needed and enjoy the rom. Don't forget to grant supersu permissions to integrated apps as it is important for the ROM to work fully.
8. I suggest not to restore your data and apps for the meantime. Play with the rom for a while and feel its vibes to make sure everything is working. Then you can restore whatever you need/want.
9. Use Xposed Multiwindow Apps Manager to enable/disable multiwindow apps and also set the default window WIDTH and HEIGHT that you like.
10. Use XTweakbox to set various settings like dual pane Settings, statusbar color and transparency, clock color, scrolling wallpaper, etc. More will be added in the next XTweakbox versions and also you may want to check out my XBackground app to change backgrounds for various system resources. New version coming very soon.
11. Most stock apps dpi are already set but you can use App Settings module to choose your preference.
12. I used mostly stock Note1 apps (except Dialer, Contacts, Calendar & Email - ported Note 8 apps) so if you prefer the Note 8 apps or Note 10.1 apps, I will provide addons as we go along.
13. This ROM includes an Expanded Desktop mode which can be activated from the bottom traybar (button beside the window layout buttons). Use it during times you need to hide the navigation or systembar like when you use the Camera or play some fullscreen games. Turning the Screen OFF then ON again restores the navigation/systembar.
14. Although the ROM will save and restore your TW Launcher workspace when moving from one UI to another there may be times when TW Launcher may FC but you can reset it using Floating MW Control app in Restart Options menu.
15. DON'T FORGET. ENJOY. I highly appreciate FEEDBACK and SUGGESTIONS.
NOTE: When using the Multiwindow Manager app, NEVER allow it to patch anything. THis is important or you will lose the NEXT Floating Multiwindows mod.

I would like to call it X8, X presenting developer's title and 8 for Note 8 features.
Also for the theme part you can count on me.
Here is a Torrent Link. Hope it works. I am just new with this.
Since it focuses on floating multiwindow I suggest X Rom or Win Rom. If can please dont name the rom name as your name cause it will make the rom as if it has xperia apps and theme but I leave it to you since your the creator of the mod/ rom
Bring it on! :d
Thanks for your work!
Eagerly waiting for the rom
I would prefer "Windows Android" or "Windows Jelly Bean"

Welcome Dear Users.
They are Team Touchwiz-Resurection.
In these past 3/4 months they have
been working on bringing a new
version of our old Resurection
Rom.
During this process we have made
some amazing work and
optimizations/theming, thanks to
this we came on an idea that I
( SpaceCaker ) saw earlier on xda.
That we would make a new thread.
This is done due to
1. Old touchwiz resurection rom was
Bringing S4 Ui and such to galaxy
ace that was the Resurection .
2.this version is very heavily
changed between these 2 Roms, so
we came to the idea to make new
thread as some users love S4 Ui
and some love S5 Ui, we only came
on this idea due to the amount of
work and time we have spent in
this new S5 version.
So please dont complain or yell
from "Dude you could have made a
new post" etc.
We wont. We wanted a sort of New
Start but keep the old rom intact
so that users could still use those
versions, so they can easily change
roms.
Kind Regards, [email protected]
So?

Sume Faqs
1 . Why Some settings need reboot
to apply?
A . This is done because we needed
to bypass the settings, system
options and to put our own values
inside by using "CUSTOM_VALUE"
for making custom java functions.
2 . Why the 'Lockscreen Wallpaper
Chooser' in display/lockscreen
FCs?
A . This is due to removal of old
wallpaper chooser. This is on our
to do in V2, but due to limited
time, we haven't had enough time
to fix this. BTW, Gallery option
works though

Post written on 16/10/16
As you know, rovo89 has released version 3.1 of his Xposed Installer. It's based on my fork, so it contains the improvements that I and @-BioHaZard- added in this version of the installer.
However, you cannot find some features: color picker, installation module with root, and other unofficial stuffs are been removed; features like bookmark manager, download module button are been hidden and these features can come back in future.
This version is marked as UNOFFICIAL now and it will be maintained.
Thanks to all who downloaded this app! :good:
Source code available here
----
Why this version is still maintained? Why are there different APKs that do the same things?
- Since Xposed Installer app is open source, I think that anyone could make an own version and customize it as you want, like Telegram app. I want to keep updated my app also for a personal satisfaction.
- There aren't different APKs that do the same things.
Devo7v said:
rovo89 developed the original Xposed installer. DVDandroid then took his original installer and materialized it and added a ton of new features because rovo89 didn't have the time or just didn't want to work on the installer. Once rovo89 took notice of DVDandroid's materialized installer, he cherry-picked various features and theming and re-incorporated them back into the original Xposed installer. rovo89 credited DVDandroid with the work he had done, but they are not necessarily working together as a team in the traditional sense.
The two versions of the Xposed installer are developed by two different people and provide a different set of features. One is not necessarily better than the other, they are just different and intended for two different audiences.
If you really want the two apps to merge and become one, you really should be posting and talking to rovo89, because he is the only one that has the power to do that.

Its something on your phone..
Maybe your bandwidth is very low or other apps may be wasting it..
THIS INSTALLER IS COMPLETELY FINE AND TESTED VERY WELL BEFORE POSTING HERE
It must have been server side because I found other posts saying they got the same thing even with the regular installer, and its working fine now and I did nothing on my end.
oh i see
if its server side then rovo may fix it soon
I was getting that download error on my moto e, because of a rom I installed was missing a system/file. I added the file and it's now working perfectly, thanks for the beautiful installer update
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Just updated installer apk
Changes:-
Updated image resources for different resolutions
New resolutions are hdpi, mdpi , xhdpi, xxhdpi , xxxhdpi
Removed :- ldpi resolution (so done by Google)
Its will resize icons and other image resources from mdpi.
And added xxxhdpi for larger screens.
I love the look, if it would have a "hamburger" swipe menu, it would rock a lot

Lollipop ?
Is it compatible with 5.1.1 gs6?????
This is a Magisk module that ports Pixel theme and some Pixel features to AOSP Android 11 (it should be compatible with all AOSP 11, and close to it, ROMs and devices).
Don't have Magisk running yet? No problem, just follow THESE instructions. If you're running stock Android 11 ROM 12.0.7.0 for Mi A3, then you just need to follow from step 7 onwards and use THIS Magisk patched boot.img. You can also use TWRP to patch your current boot.img, just check THESE INSTRUCTIONS to understand how to do it.
In case you're worried about OTAs, and you should since this will most likely break OTA installation, please just read THIS.
Includes:
Pixel Theme Overlay
Styles & wallpapers
Google Wallpapers ( 2019; 2020 & 2020a ) -> credits to @Pranav Pandey for his work with Google Pixel/2/3/4/a/5 Live Wallpapers
Sound Picker
Sound Amplifier
Markup Google
Device Personalization Services
Settings shortcuts for all Pixel goodies
Google Settings Intelligence
Pixel Launcher
Quick Access Wallet
Google Photos portrait effects
Google Recorder
Safety Hub
Pixel exclusive UI sounds
Bonus features:
Google Sans applied system wide
Blur background effect
Several extra fonts
More accent colors
Several icon shapes
9 more dark styles besides the default black (use Rom Control App to choose your desired theme, if running stock Mi A3 ROM, or MacroDroid App, if using other)
2 Button bar Navigation (it was missing on Android 11 and I think some people like to use it)
Themed boot animation (Requires MacroDroid App and the macro I've shared here to work)
Pixel Theme specific Downloads (for stock Mi A3 Android 11 and/or other ROMs/devices running AOSP ROMs):
Typhus_Pixel_for_Android11_V18.zip <- Pixel Theme with all features mentioned above
The theme should be compatible with all AOSP 11 (or close to it) ROMs. I've decided to split things regarding Pixel Theme and fixes for stock Android 11 since there were users who wanted to use the Theme on other ROMs, rather than stock, and since the fixes were merged on the Theme it would cause some visual conflicts on other ROMs.
Typhus_auto_dark_mode_and_styles.zip <- Extract the mdr file inside this zip and import it to MacroDroid App.
You really need this for the boot animation to work.
Notes regarding the Pixel Theme:
Don't forget to give all permissions to all apps included on the theme (Pixel Launcher, Sound Picker, Pixel Live Wallpaper Picker, Device Personalization Services, Markup, etc.)
Regarding the themed boot animation, I recommend you to, before using the "Auto Dark Based On Daylight" macro, create a backup of your current bootanimation.zip file (just rename it to bootanimation_BKP.zip or something like that, the original file is on /system/media/). If you don't do this, you will lose it!
Since Android 11 already has the feature to automatically change the theme based on daylight, you can edit the macro and remove the enable/disable dark theme. Leave only the script that changes the boot animation.
If you're not being able to download live wallpapers, please read THIS POST.

Pixel colors as default instead of default AOSP colors (Pixel Blue instead of Teal, as main accent color, and Black instead of material dark gray, as default dark)
Notes about Mi A3 Mods:
All features that you see on Mi A3 MODs Magisk Module were reverse engineered from Evolution X ROM source code. The source code is available on the link bellow shown on the credits. This means that I've been practicing some hard core "old school" Android smali edition in order to get this working. So, yes, I have some credits about this but, if it weren't for the orginal devs and it's public source code, none of this would be possible. Thank them for this!
Smali edit is not enough to get this working. After decompiling, changing/adapt the code and recompiling everything again, I had to find a way to make it bootable without messing with the original apk signature. And here is were VR Theme logic came in handy. So thanks for the original dev who brought us this feature.
As for ROM Control app....this was/is a project created by daxgirl and wubydax back in 2015! So yeah, I'm not bringing anything new here, I just followed their instructions in order to get the features working after editing smali with the source code taken from Evolution X. The app source code is also available on the link shared on the credits.
I've combined all of the above into a Magisk Module and shared here so that we can get the best of both worlds....a stock ROM with custom features included.

is there anyway to just have blur backgrounds from this module?

On Android 11? If so, sure, just add:
XML:
ro.surface_flinger.supports_background_blur=1
Into build.prop or system.prop (at vendor or system partition).
OR,
Flash this module but first open the zip and delete everything inside system folder.

Uh... Thanks so much!
I am very sad you are leaving the mi A3 community even I understand the reasons... Tell me does this module work with your overlay manager I use in stock 10? And is there any hope to complete this module development in the near future?
Just an information, it does work with offical A11.

I'm creating a new version. Just wait for stable new version. A "beta" version as already been shared on Telegram Mi A3 groups.
OP has been updated with a new version of the theme.
The theme has been tested on stock Android 11 ROM and it's looking good.
Can I install this on Android 11 Stock Rom ?
Which recovery should I use to flash Magisk on Android 11 ?

Of course you can install on stock Android 11. That's exactly the purpose of this theme.
As for recovery, for the time being there's no working recovery for stock Android 11 firmware. You need to root the device by flashing the magisk patched boot image that I've shared HERE. The flashing instructions are HERE.
Cheers!
Hello!
I've decided to split things regarding Pixel Theme and fixes for stock Android 11.
Since there are users who want to use the Theme on other ROMs, rather than stock or even on other devices, and since the fixes were merged on the Theme, that stuff was causing some visual conflicts on other ROMs.
Having this in mind, today I've updated the OP with a new Pixel Theme version that has everything that v9 had but with no stock Android 11 fixes.
Aside from that, I've release a simple module that only adds the stock Android 11 fixes (status bar padding/height and bottom round corners) and, as well, a new Mi A3 Mods for stock Android 11 (for the time being with few features since I didn't had the time to add all goodies I've added on 10).
Hope you may enjoy this.
Cheers!
OP has been uptaded.
New Pixel Theme version. It fixes the text being cutout on the notifications.
Cheers!
Hello!
OP has been updated.
What changed?
Typhus_Pixel_for_Android11_V12.zip -> Added Pixel Live Wallpapers 20a (no one noticed it was missing...LOL...but it was) and hopefully corrected live wallpapers downloads. They were bugged sometimes.
Typhus_Fixes_for_MiA3_Stock_Android11_V2.zip -> Minor fix regarding status bar height on Android 11 stock ROM. Now it has the exact same values as on stock Android 10.
Typhus_MiA3_Mods_Android11_V2.zip -> Added Battery Styles (YES!) and Rounded Corners options.
Hope you enjoy these changes.
Cheers!

Sorry where are the accent colors and icon shapes in mi A3 Mods zip?

In Mi A3 Mods Zip they're not there, they're only inside the Pixel Theme Zip.
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear on the OP.
It's like this:
If your device is on stock Xiaomi Mi A3 Android 11 ROM then you should install:
Typhus_Fixes_for_MiA3_Stock_Android11 zip
Typhus_MiA3_Mods_Android11 zip
Typhus_Pixel_for_Android11 zip
If your device is on another AOSP ROM (or close to AOSP), or if you're not even using a Xiaomi Mi A3 but using a AOSP ROM, then you should just flash the Typhus_Pixel_for_Android11 zip.
Cheers!
Hi thank you for this amazing project. I was waiting for a magisk module like this. And the best part is that it is working unlike others like Pixelarity or Pix3lify. It's working very well on Motorola One Vision running latest @phhusson Android R GSI. Only thing I had to do was deleting system/system_ext/etc/permissions/com.android.systemui.xml since it was causing a bootloop. Don't know if this issue happened only on my device. Also enabling "Now Playing" breaks audio playback: audio keeps coming and disappearing; disabling it solves the issue. I hope this will help to keep this module universal and up-to-date. Thank you

Thanks for your feedback.
I'll try to make the changes needed in order to fix the bugs you've mentioned.
Now Playing does not work without SystemUI.apk AndroidManifest.xml changes, so I guess I'll just remove it for good from the Theme.
As for the com.android.systemui.xml permission, sorry, I've accidentally added that to the theme causing issues on other ROMs rather then Android 11 stock ROM for Xiaomi Mi A3.
Cheers!
Hello!
OP has been updated.
What changed?
Typhus_Pixel_for_Android11_V13.zip -> Removed Now Playing since it didn't not work and, worse than that, was causing sound conflicts. Also, fixed the theme for other ROMs / devices (I'm sorry, on last version I've made a mistake which caused bootloops on other ROMs/devices).
Typhus_Fixes_for_MiA3_Stock_Android11_V4.zip -> Minor fix regarding some text being cutout on notifications
Cheers!
Hello!
OP has been updated.
What changed?
Typhus_Pixel_for_Android11_V14.zip <- Removed the navbar gestural overlays since, not only they're already present on stock Android 11 ROMs but also, the ones provided on the theme previous versions were disabling other gestural mods, like Fullscreen Immersive gestures mod. Also, I've added Portrait effects for Google Photos app. It runs without the need for Pixel props...which is cool.
Cheers!
