It's called MIUI. Now, next time post your questions in the Questions and Answers section, here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1569
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang2012:
Why would you want your s3 look like it's?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] break1:
maybe cause he likes iOS but wants galaxy S3 hardware (display size,nice screen,quadcore...)?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexteral:
Just get the espire launcher from play store
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
The launcher doesn't replace the entire framework. What is it with people and thinking a launcher does everything?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
Because for most people what matters is what the device looks like, and not really what is underneath. Most users don't even know what a framework is.

So the launcher suggestion is valid if all the user wants is something that resembles iOS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Why would you want a ROM, that is like iOS? The only ROM that nears iOS is MIUI..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
The style of the settings, does that not matter? No launcher can replace the ugliness of the Samsung settings. That goes way down in the systemui or framework.

Does anyone know if it's possible to install the normal messaging app found in the galaxy nexus to the samsung galaxy s3? If not, what is a good alternative for a messaging app for the s3? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] brenogbi:
Search at the theme area, there is a thread with a aosp MMS apk modded. Works on Sammy ROM. PS.sorry my english
[Galaxy S III General] Galactus:
Be weary. Not sure if the one in the theme area is the same as the AOSP messaging app found in the foxhound rom which has an issue with phone numbers. You'll get a new thread for each message you receive if your numbers don't have international codes.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
So there you have it. If you like the theme or you found my information useful, and you would like to, then give that big ol’ Thanks button a little click. If you don’t want to, then no worries. I would like to know your thoughts and feedback and also any suggestions on how to improve it too. Also if anyone has any questions about how I did anything, please feel free to ask.

A few thanks are needed:

Spannaa – Without you, I wouldn’t even know how to edit an xml file, let alone do all of this. Thanks for all of your patience and help and support through this. Go and have a look at Spannaa’s awesome theme threads:

martintspedersen - Thanks for testing some of the zips for me mate, much appreciated. Have a look at martin’s high quality lockring collection:ICS/JELLYBEAN Lockrings(162x162)[5/10]

_JKay_ - First and foremost for making his awesome Deluxe framework and Deluxe Settings App. After using these, I would not want to use my phone again if it did not have JKay supported framework, and this will also decide any future phone upgrades that I am considering. And also a huge thanks for helping me change the ‘Swipe screen to unlock’ text colour!

AOSP Blue Project - JB 4.1.2 XWLS*

Howdy folks,

Below are a number of screenshots (just click on them to download the zip) to some new zips that I made before I got rid of my beloved SGSII. Please download and flash through custom recovery. Don't forget to make a Nandroid backup before testing!

[SIZE=+2]DEVICE OPTIONS

AUDIO ICONS

ACCUWEATHER WIDGET

AOSP LOCKSCREEN

AOSP LOCKSCREEN ADD EXTRA TARGETS[/SIZE]

CAUTION!!! This will ADD extra targets to a stock AOSP Lockscreen. If you already have the AOSP lockscreen with the extra targets, I will try to make another zip for that at a later date

[SIZE=+2]LAUNCHER

MMS

PHONE & CONTACTS

SYSTEM UI[/SIZE]

Inside the folder you will find some zip files which will change the background of the notification shade in increments of 25 so there is 0% transparency, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% transparency. If you want to flash one of them, be sure to do so AFTER the main zips for SystemUI.

Ok there you have it. Please test and report. Also requests are welcomed and encouraged! I can't promise I'll be able to do them as I don't own this device anymore, but I'll do my best!

Cheers all,

Dave

Nice work daveyannihilation! Its really blueish ;)

One question: I have NeatRom Lite v3.0.1 UHLPS Themed with JKAY and Domination Theme integrated installed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569686. One thing i want is the blue notification icons for ringer, vibration, mute etc.

but when is flash your "Framework Icons Only ICS Blue" they stay in gray color as before.

Is it because your mods are incompatible with this ROM or i have to flash something different?

Hope you can help me.

greets
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Thanks cleomane!

I believe that you will find the icons that you are looking for in SystemUI Icons Only ICS Blue.zip, and they should be compatible with most ROMs.

I hope this helped,

Dave
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Ok XDA,

I just updated the OP with some more photos so that you can see exactly what I've done.

I'm currently working on Google Play Music so I will add that as soon as it's done.

It's funny that I've had over 100 downloads for these but only a few likes and no comments. Anything is better than nothing. Come on XDA, tell me what you really think!

Hope you've all had a great weekend.

Dave
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
G'Day XDA,

I just updated the first post by add Google Play Music to it as an apk that needs to be pushed to /system, change permissions and then installed like a normal apk. Check the first post for details.

On a side note, if anyone has any requests for any apps that they would like themed, please let me know. Even if it's not in the ICS Blue colour, I am happy to try and do that for you. I am going to have to change all of the items in my phone to pink when I give it to my fiancee after I upgrade so I don't mind doing other colours.

Still puzzled as to why no one has commented or said whether they like the theme or not, considering it's had over 150 downloads now. Very strange.

Have a great day XDA,

Dave

How can i change the background of the following picture so that it could be an opaque background?Thanks in advance :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Hi Fzee,

There is an xml file in SystemUI.apk that needs to be edited and I believe that it is \res\values\drawables.xml but as soon as I get home from work (which is in about 6 hours) I will have a look for you and let you know if that's ok?

Thanks mate,

Dave
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Ok Fzee,

I was very wrong. The thing that needs to be changed is an icon which I have attached to this post. This needs to be installed into SystemUI.apk into the \res\drawable-hdpi folder. Now if you don't know how to do that, I would be happy to give you a quick run down, or if you attach a copy of your SystemUI.apk then I can do it for you.

If you need any help then just ask,

Dave :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Fzee:
Thanks.I'll try it later as im not at home right now :D

Edit:I tried it but it didnt work probably bcause im using a differnt phone model.Srry,i should have told you earlier.I found out what the problem was in lidroid-res.apk.

But since you have explained so much in an easy-to-understand answer,i will click the like button for you:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
No worries Fzee,

As long as you got there in the end, all is good.

Oh yeah,how can i change the missed message icon in the statusbar(the one you get when someone messages you).Do i have to edit mms apk?Correct me if im wrong:D

How can i also edit the colour of the words in systemui?

Oh yeah how can i also edit the theme and colours of the messaging app?

How can also edit the colour of 'swipe to unlock screen' to cyan colour

Srry for all the questions.I really want to be a themer just like you.But like everyone i have to start small and slowly make my way up to the top:thumbup:If you cant answer all the questions,dont sweat.I know its alot of questions so you don't need to answer all of them if you can't

So my man,tell me something,did i answer your question?If i did,click the thanks button.If i didn't,im probably trollin ya =O
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Ok the icon that you need to change is indeed in Mms.apk in /res/drawable-hdpi and it's called stat_notify_message.png so you need to change that icon.

Do you mean the text in the notification shade that you pull down from the status bar?

Which particular themes and colours are you talking about? The bubbles or the text or what? There are many different things that control many different aspects of Mms.apk

For the 'Swipe screen to unlock' text, if you look at the How To Guide which is in the second post, you will see what you need to do to change that.

I can indeed answer them all, but I need you to elaborate a little bit more to what you would like to do.

Thanks mate,

Dave
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Fzee:
Yes i meant to change the text in the notification shade.I also wanted to change the bubbles and colours of text in mms.apk

BTW,what is smali and baksmali?What tool do i need to use to do it

So my man,tell me something,did i answer your question?If i did,click the thanks button.If i didn't,im probably trollin ya =O

This is an excellent theme thread. Very useful indeed. Good job man. I know how long this stuff takes and to document it is outstanding :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Namoi:
Nice thread indeed.

I always wanted to tweak a little more my ROM, but i missed the infos.

I have a question :

I'm using Neat Rom UHLPS with Vertumus theme and Jkay Framework but there's something not properly themed (i think Vertums know about it but couldn't or didn't had time to find a solution).

It is the wifi setting. When one clicks on a network the text is white which is ok by Vert standard but the background is also white...which is kind of tricky to see the text.

Do you have an idea how to fix this ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Sorry mate, I only just got home and it's 11pm so I'll have to check the answers in the morning for you.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:

Hi Namoi,

Could you please attach a screenshot for me of the problem you're having??

Sent from my ICS Blue SGSII
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Namoi:
Here it is
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Ok mate, now depending on what text in the notification shade you are talking about, some of it is controlled by the xml files in SystemUI.apk and some of it is controlled by some xml files in framework-res.apk in the /res/colour folder. I don't know how to change the text colour of the Quick Settings icons but you may be able to change yours, because they're from lidroid-res.apk and I don't have that.

To change things like the 'No notifications' or the 'Ongoing' text, you need to edit files in SystemUI.apk/res/layout such as status_bar_expanded.xml and tw_status_bar_expanded.xml .

If you download my SystemUI ICS Blue zip file then that should be able to change it for you. If it doesn't, then you might need to download and install my Everything ICS Blue zip file.

Now with the text bubbles in Mms,apk, there are a 19.9.pngs which you need to edit in the /res/drawable-hdpi folder. They are:

message_bubble_animation.9.png
message_bubble_failedmessage.9.png
message_bubble_failedmessage_focus.9.png
message_bubble_failedmessage_press.9.png
message_bubble_newmessage.9.png
message_bubble_newmessage_focus.9.png
message_bubble_newmessage_press.9.png
message_bubble_readmessage.9.png
message_bubble_readmessage_focus.9.png
message_bubble_readmessage_press.9.png
message_bubble_scheduledmessage.9.png
message_bubble_scheduledmessage_focus.9.png
message_bubble_scheduledmessage_press.9.png
message_bubble_sendingmessage.9.png
message_bubble_sendingmessage_focus.9.png
message_bubble_sendingmessage_press.9.png
message_bubble_sentmessage.9.png
message_bubble_sentmessage_focus.9.png
message_bubble_sentmessage_press.9.png

If you want to change them, I suggest having a look at Spannaa's awesome thread [THEME][ICS][Mms.apk][VRT] Messaging text bubbles & emoticons which has a number of different styled message bubbles that you can flash.

Now as for the text side of things, there are a lot of xml documents in Mms.apk/res/layout and in /res/values that will change different things within the app, depending on what you want to change. You could try to flash my MMS ICS Blue zip file first, and if you're not happy with that then you could try MMS Full ICS Blue. Now the only thing that neither of them will change is the actual text within each message bubble, which needs to be changed in twframework-res.apk/res/values/colors and change tw_color002 to whatever colour you want the text to be.

Now smali and baksmali can be found here. Give it a try and see how you go. If you're having trouble then just ask and I'll see if I can help you.

I hope all of this was useful to you and if you have any more questions, please ask.

Thanks mate,

Dave
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Ok I think I used to have that problem too before I did all of this to my phone. I suspect that the xml document you need to edit is in Settings.apk/res/layout and it's going to be one or all of the following:

wifi_ap_dialog
wifi_config_info
wifi_config_preference
wifi_config_ui_for_setup_wizard
wifi_dialog
wifi_dialog_row
wifi_p2p_connect_button
wifi_p2p_connect_end_button
wifi_p2p_deviceinfo_dialog
wifi_p2p_devicename_dialog
wifi_p2p_dialog
wifi_p2p_more_dialog
wifi_setup_custom_list_item_1
wifi_status_test

Have you tried to flash my Settings ICS Blue zip? If you don't want the text to be the blue colour, then you will need to edit the above xml documents. If you need help doing it then I am happy give you that.

Let me know how you go,

Dave
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Namoi:
Can i install your setting.apk on my UHLPS Rom ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Look you should be OK if you install Settings ICS Blue (not the Full one) but before you do, please PLEASE make a Android backup.

If something goes wrong then restore the backup, make a copy of your Settings.apk and attach it here and I will try to do the mods for you.

I will try mms.apk too as the one in UHLPS is buggy.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
No worries, give it a try. Just don't use the zip files with Full in the file name. Make sure you make a Nandroid backup before you do it.

If you have any problems, let me know and I'll see if I can help you out.

Have a great weekend,

I've tried to wipe cache, wipe dalvik and fix permissions, but no way : direct FCs every time.

Do you think you will have time to look to my settings.apk ?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Haha spewin. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Look attach your Settings.apk and I'll give it a look ok? All I ask is that you be patient.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Namoi:
No problem, i'm really not in a hurry, but I'll need to wait to send you the file : wife is squatting the PC and tapatalk won't let me upload anything except images.

Buy i would like to ask you some questions regarding theming as i want to learn doing it by myself, more because I'm sure we'll have to wait sometime if we want new JB + Vertumus theme + jkay, if it happen...

So first :

How do you test your mods. Using the sdk emulator, or directly in the phone... cause it must be a lot of trials and errors?

Another question is : if i want to mod an app from play store, a paid one i bought, do the decompiling, recompiling and signing will break the app and/or the market link.

Thanks again
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
Every mod that I do, I test on my phone after making a Nandroid backup. Yes, there are a few times where I have had bootloops. Actually, this one time, I was trying to turn all of the backgrounds transparent. I wanted Settings and Phone and everything to have a transparent background so I could see the live wallpaper within the app. After editing the files I thought I needed to and recompiling with no errors, I flashed the zip with the mods in it.

When the phone restarted, I had actually somehow managed to make everything in the foreground transparent, so all I could see was the live wallpaper and nothing else. Even holding down the power button to get the menu up resulted in not being able to see anything.

For about 20 mins I was panicing because I couldn't get the phone into recovery mode, and that night I was supposed to lock up at work and they were calling me to say 'come and lock up so we can go home' but I couldn't answer because everything was transparent.

So there will be times when everything goes haywire but as long as you make a Nandroid backup before you do anything, you should be ok.

As for modding Play Store apps, most of them are in /data/app instead of /system/app so when recompiling you have to type 'n' when it asks if its a system app and then you need to sign it, put it into the /data folder on your phone, then change its permissions to (I suspect) rw- r-- r-- and then push it to /data/app.

If there's a particular app you're talking about, I'm happy to give it a look for you or offer any other advice I can if you need any. Just ask.

Thanks mate,

Dave

Hey XDA,

I just updated the OP with my ICS Blue themed version of Vlingo (the app that opens when you double click the home button) which has to be pushed to /system, change permissions to rw- r-- r-- , pushed to /system/app and then restart the phone.

If anyone has any requests for any apks that they would like themed, please feel free to ask and I will take them all into consideration.

Have a great day XDA,

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SteveMurphy:
Dave, I have to say I am loving this super-blue theme. Just applied most of it (minus the Android gallery and Google Music), and my phone has been transformed!

I had to "downgrade" (really no such thing in the post GB world) to an LPI ROM in order to try these out, because I wanted to get as close to your screenshots as possible, and with JKay and Vertimus running I've achieved exactly that! Just put Vlingo in a few minutes ago and it's working perfectly.

I know there are others who've done the same but haven't replied, so I wanted to say thank you for sharing your work and for the extremely clear instructions. Looking forward to the upcoming app mods you've already teased!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
My good man,

You have just made my Xmas. Thank you so very much for your kind words, I'm really glad you like my theme (by the sounds of things, almost as much as I do!!).

It's great to have some feedback, as you can see there aren't many comments or likes even after more than 200 downloads.

I am towards the end of doing Google Play Store... and my laptop has died. Wahh! So I need to either figure out how to fix the damn thing (its about 6 years old!) or save up to buy a new one.

So I'm at a little bit of a standstill just now unfortunately. I will keep you updated on how I'm going with it though.

Thanks again for your kind words. Merry Xmas to you & your family.
