I wonder if metemorphing the images into a dta that you have working would do the trick, maddoggin, put just the two folders with only edits in dropbox I'll work on the metamorph script for him. We gonna do our best just hang in there bro we trying
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
Absolutely no worries or rush, I'm glad I have most of the theme working and I am enjoying it. I appreciate the effort from both of you and also that you're both very responsive.

Happy to continue to test anything you throw my way.

Just installed over Bonsai 4.0.1. And all works EXCEPT for market. It crashes when trying to open. Even after clearing cache and data... :( about to flash a backup, hoping to re flash this theme when market bug is worked out.
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Just remove the market.apk from the theme before flashing again if you still want to use the theme
[Epic 4G Themes] stormglove:
Sorry to point things out. I too have tried clearing all, google data and cache as well as fix permissions with v2 but I am getting the dialertab app error.when trying to make a call from a google maps search. V1worked but not v2. Not a big deal for me since the theme is so sweet but just thought I'd share, sorry. Have a great fam weekend maddogin.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
Well, running Midnight 5 w/journal. Wiped cache and dalvik 3x and flashed...perfection! Just like with Bionix Black. Only contacts icon is orange but that's minor. Fantastic job once again! This and Bionix are my only two themes. This just became number one!
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
The more I explore, the more I see how much you put into this theme. I hope style remains simple yet classy with the touches of color in all the right places!!!! I swear on the Midnight 5 ROM, everything I throw at it works. Dialer is fine, SetCPU good, Contacts there, no apps gone...glad I chose to browse the "Themes" section tonight! Maddoggin and dreams, you have the professional classy themes on lock down!
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
What rom are you using? Have you tried another not themed dialer tab activity to see if that works? If you fin.d one that works drop me a pm.
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
Ok sorry for your troubles! Get the dialer that works for you and pm me!
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
Sorry for your troubles! Try to start fresh like wipe3x install rom reboot but don't sign in and don't update the market, Go back into recovery flash theme! Then sign in, and update market!
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
No apology necessary. PM'd you as requested.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] gpeterson:
Midnight 5.2 Journaled. Had the same problem with FC on dialer, I pulled the apk from the Midnight ROM zip and dropped it in the theme zip and reflashed. Works fine...Just not sexy like the rest of the theme.

Real nice job here Dev. You're attention to detail is impeccable. I dropped a different font in the zip before I flashed the last time, and that put the icing on the cake for me. Will be driving this one for a long time.
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
try v2 download again i changed the dialer tab activity
[Epic 4G Themes] Slow5Ohh:
Appears to be fixed!
[Epic 4G Themes] socalsfinest93:
My market worked after I used root explorer and pushed the market from SRF and rebooted then used root explorer again and pushed the themed market back then rebooted
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
alright! cool!
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
So is anyone else still having issues with this theme? Please let me know! I'm working on some updates and also different theme color and need to know of any issues! Thanks again for everyones support and feedback! HAPPY EASTER!
[Epic 4G Themes] stormglove:
I just saw the update and all seems well no issues at all. Thanks again. Have a great easter.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnnyEpic:
I myself just re-read my post and I may have been off my rocker too. I want to apologize to the forum moderator and op/dev & friends. It won't happen again thank you for your contributions and your work on this & other themes.
[Epic 4G Themes] husher:
I'll give this theme a go. looks very slick and simple. the icons don't look like something from object dock.
[Epic 4G Themes] gpeterson:
Re-downloaded per your instruction, and the dialer works fine now. I had initially pulled the vending.apk out of the zip so I wouldn't have trouble. Forgot to pull it this time, and was attacked by the FC bug, but I just pushed another vending.apk to apps and all is good. So, I would say that apk isn't perfect, but everything else seems to be spot on. Good job Dev.
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Market is the hugest pain in the ass some roms name it vending.apk in the system folder some name it vending-x.x.x for the version number there are different reasons as to why it don't work. Also market updater plays a role as well the best chance you got is before theming roll back any market updates and delete market updater completely and you should increase your success rate by a small percent
[Epic 4G Themes] gpeterson:
Good idea, hadn't thought of getting rid of the updater. Thanks
[Epic 4G Themes] skyward01:
Just wanted to say, this its my favorite theme yet. Which is saying a lot, because w have some great themes for the epic.
[Epic 4G Themes] GRK4G63:
Nice!

This looks really clean. I love the way the Market looks in the preview pic. Downloaded the .zip and will NAND backup before installing.

major props to all the devs for their time and efforts! You guys make it happen :)
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
thanks for all the positive feedback im working on another market, will update soon! dont forget the thank you btn!!
[Epic 4G Themes] Jez2cool:
NICE WORK!!!!!

Loving the look of this! Is there anyway the fly in animation could be added? If so I am absolutely sold :)
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnCorleone:
For those adding this theme, flash your rom, then the theme, then log into Google through the market. If you log in first then flash the theme, that's where you may have issues
[Epic 4G Themes] Xhyperion:
Completely broke my phone. Had to do a restore. Do not download.
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
I run and love this theme... don't take one person's experience as universal.
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
how did it break your phone? before you go telling people not to download you should read through the thread first? any issues you may have encountered have both been discussed and fixed or worked around! and since at the moment your the only one having issues ill assume its user error and not the theme itself.
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
thanks don corleone,;) i have been running this theme for months. as i stated in the op! first with syndicate for a long while, tried it with bonsai for a day or two, and been running it on stock deodex for the last two weeks and i have had not one issue described in this thread. and its because of the steps mr. corleone here described. i have been telling people to do this since day one! so thanks again sir. if you're having any issues at all follow these steps! 1. wipe 3x 2. flash rom and reboot 3. go back to cwm and flash theme! then sign in to google!
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
I apologize to everyone seeing this ahead of time. To have to read through more bickering on the threads. Xhyperion no apology I mean what I say to you now and well into the future. Its assholes like you that hender the progression of the Epic forums. Assholes like you that make devs and themers ask themselves why do I even bother anymore. This general statement it broke my phone do not download. All you have to do is read all the other post in this thread to see your full of ****. You probably have no idea wtf your doing in the first place and generally when you do "corrupt a rom not "break your phone" you post in the thread and the op works with you to get it up and going for you. So when you say it broke your phone, do you care to elaborate? Did your ****ing screen crack when you flashed it? Did you cpu short out and release a puff of smoke? Did your speaker blow out you arrogant p.o.s. let's see how the instructions go for flashing a theme. Step 1 nandroid. Step 2 flash. Step 3 boot. Something went wrong? Then follow these instructions: step 1 boot cwm. Step to select restore. Step 3 boot. So by the theme not working for you it cost you precious seconds without a booted phone? To everyone else remember his user name and know for future references not to listen to a word from his mouth. Devs refuse to help him should he have trouble anything in the future and back to you asshole eat a bag of dicks. Keep up the good work madoggin.

Prick!
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
lmfao! +1

thanks dreams! couldnt have said it better myself!
[Epic 4G Themes] skyward01:
Works just fine for me, never had any problems at all. Maybe you did something wrong...
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnnyEpic:
To be honest. Three days ago, I didnt know what deodexed? meant. Last week I figured out what 'flash rom' meant. I rooted w\ one click method and since everything was so automated, I really didn't learn from it. Shortly after i rooted, i loaded up the rom manager, saw the downloads, and downloaded and installed google apps.. no idea why. Anyhow, no google apps would load. So, i used google to find a solution. It required me to download some windows application, and boot into this mode, change some parameters to 000 or somthing crazy like that. Somethin to do w\ that deodexdthingy again. Anyhow..

Here we are about a week later, extensive reading, and watching issues and problems others have, following up on the forums (here) and learning it, one restore at a time.

Im happy to say, this was my first successful theme i've ever installed SUCCESSFULLY and it was primarily cause i paid attention, and asked for help. If i can do it... then.. well... you should be able to also... but instead...

You xhyperion, are a douschebag. Period, end of story.

Devs, keep up the great work.
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
EXACTLY!! thats exactly what XDA is about my friend! well put! some people just lazy!
[Epic 4G Themes] running_the_dream:
I apologize in advance as I am sure this question has been answered somewhere along the line in the past in another theme thread. I love this theme, like I loved Bionix (truly great theme in my opinion). I want to change the font in swype though. The letters just don't look quite right to me. Could someone tell me how to or point me in the right direction?

edit: perhaps Metamorph?
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Font on the actual keyboard or that appears in the text box?
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
Lol! I will put a seperate dl for swype with regular text give me a little while and search for it on front page! Thanks for pos. Feedback! Glad you liked the theme!
[Epic 4G Themes] running_the_dream:
Thx. Font on the actual keyboard.
[Epic 4G Themes] running_the_dream:
I appreciate the great themes! Always happy to leave feedback. Positive or negative. It all helps. I'll wait for your swype dl but I'll post back if I get the instruction before then so I can edit myself. Thx.
[Epic 4G Themes] h0st1le:
found a small inconsistency on the dialer screen. the contacts icon/button doesnt seem to match the style of the rest of the theme. screen shot included
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
hey bro im sorry to tell you i feel bad that you have to do this but you will have to follow the instructions listed in the op! thats not my contacts.apk for some reason it didnt theme or something went wrong when you flashed theme!
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
heres a swype without sony sketch font as promised my friend! enjoy the theme!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9847580/Swype.apk
[Epic 4G Themes] running_the_dream:
Awesome! Thank you!
[Epic 4G Themes] h0st1le:
well that's exactly what i thought the problem was when i first noticed the variation. as such i have flashed it three time now over fresh syndicate 1.1 installs. using the established procedure:

wipe (data factory reset) (data cache) (dalvik cache) X 3

flash syndicate 1.1 from cwm

flash aosp lockscreen syndicate add-on

reboot

(wait)

shutdown and reboot into cwm again

flash theme.

and i can assure you that this exact same graphic flaw is there every time. Are you sure that the correct apk was included in the version 2? i dont recall if i ever noticed it in the version 1. if im the only one getting this i would sure like some ideas on how i can fix it??
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
Massive thread cleaning. please do not troll, and don't respond to trolls; only report then and let me deal with it please. Thank you,

-theimpaler747
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
That's actually the dialer tab activity.apk not contacts. Try pulling it from v1 and overwriting the one in v2. What rom are you running? The different roms arent the same bonsai has a call log I believe not sure on the others. If there is an inconsistency in the apks android will not let it flash. But try the v1 version first since you know it to work and let us know well figure it out for you
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
ok let me fix this then give me a few minutes and ill send you a link to dialertabactivity.apk

edit: here try this one! its the one im using i got it from syndicate rom! >>>>http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9847580/DialerTabActivity.apk

sorry for the trouble! let me know how this works for you
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
thank you sir! thread looks allot better! :D
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
i apologize you know what looking at the screenshot again i must have put the wrong dialer in v2. sorrry about that but it has been fixed!
[Epic 4G Themes] flyers2114:
Yea I apologize for getting involved in that....but sometimes I cannot resist when I see the craziness!
[Epic 4G Themes] h0st1le:
well thanks for the help, unfortunately I am still having some issues...

I went ahead and pushed this DialerTabActivity.apk you linked in the previous post onto my system. After a reboot this resulted in the phone force closing.

Attempted to reflash the theme again over this but that just made the phone icon disappear completely. :(

Alright, so next i removed the apk from the simplybluev2.zip and replaced it with the apk that you linked to me in the previous post. Odinded back to stock, OTA updated to EC05, CWM and then flashed fresh copy of syndicate 1.1. Flashed the simplybluev2_mod.zip over that and again resulted in force closes. At this point i just ripped the DialerTabActivity.apk out of the stock syndicate rom and replaced it with root explorer. reboot and back to stock dialer screen.

I would snatch the one out of the simplyblue.v1.zip but unfortunately it looks like i deleted when i downloaded the second version. If you got another apk i would be willing to give it a go... hope can get this worked out.

thanks
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
Damn! Is the dialer you using now working? If you have a working dialer that isn't fc shoot it to me in pm and I will fix this for you! Again sorry for this. Someone else had this same issue and I had to theme his dialer and that worked for him! But I don't understand why this is happenning cause I don't have these issues and I been using this theme for last 2 months! Its my personal everyday theme! So idk! :-(
[Epic 4G Themes] running_the_dream:
Well, I downloaded your swype.apk and moved it to /system/app. Swype didn't come up at all. Like, I press the text box from mms to bring up swype, but nothing comes up. It just asks me to slide the phone to use the physical keyboard. And I couldn't long press to activate any other onscreen keyboards. So, I deleted the .apk then moved the swype.apk from SRF back into /system/app. Still no dice. I deleted it, then moved the stock swype from here into /system/app. I got back the old ugly swype.

After that failure, I tried to move your swype.apk into the Simply Blue zip and reflash the theme. Got the same result; no swype at all.

Do you have any ideas on what I did wrong or what could be wrong?
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Dont be pushing these system apps to the phone always flash them in clockwork mod if nothing else take the theme and delete everything except swype.apk and flash. Your replacing system apps while the phone is running is asking for trouble. I bet if you use root explorer and check out swype, the permissions won't even be the same as the rest of the system apps. Once you loose an apps (btw you loose it because android sinced a change in the apk, theres no getting it back) you gotta wipe and start over. The problem is the system apps all have the same signature. The phone associated the signature with the current md5sum which is how big the app is. You pushed another apk with the same signature, but different md5 sum telling the os something is wrong. Always flash system apps! ! What works on a stock rom and a heavily modded rom are two different scenerios.
[Epic 4G Themes] running_the_dream:
Good stuff. I will flash it when I get home today. I pushed other things like the stock clock before, so I never thought anything of it. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
No prob pushing apk not already installed or pushing one matching sig and size (even then touchy) is different than replacing a system app with one themed. Trying to save you some headache ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
thanks for the help dog! i never pushed any apks myself always flashed in a zip so i dont know anything about how that works! lol! apreaciate your help though!
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
im using the swype i themed for you since yesterday bud! works fine but as dreams suggested its better to flash in a zip instead of trying to push! i suggest adding the swype into the themed zip and following the directions posted in the op just to get everything working correctly and get the full benefits of this theme!
[Epic 4G Themes] running_the_dream:
Well it turns out that a fresh flash of rom and theme was all I had to do. :o

Thanks again for the great help.
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Good deal, glad its working. Once you loose a system app a flash its the only fix.

Maddoggin, no prob you know it
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
Lmao! We don't put the install instructions in front page for no reason bud! Glad you finally got it working! I guess for some themes you can just flash and everything works good. Unfortunately its not the case with this theme and everyone who has had issues like you and try everything eventually end up going back to basics (which is what's posted on op) and get it working when if they would have just done that to begin with..... you know the rules! Lol! Anyways enjoy the theme friend! And any other suggestions or thoughts about the theme are welcomed!
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
Hey maddoggin,

No rush or anything, I love the theme. Just curious if v3 is in the works to address minor issues like notification pull-down text, some of the buttons in Contacts, and some of the paging buttons (in multiple apps, like Tapatalk) where you cannot really tell the difference between available and not available.

Again, all minor, no rush, just wondering.

Thanks again dude!
[Epic 4G Themes] h0st1le:
hey man... thanks for the apk u sent in the PM, this one works great and looks great as well :)

thanks for the support. keep up the great work :)
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
I am working on a v3 will be posting in a day or two, I am moving from one place to another and have little time on my hands right now so but yeah thanks for everyones support and feedback
[Epic 4G Themes] dmarden:
Nice, hope your move goes smoothly. I always seem to lose a couple boxes.

Thanks again for your time and effort.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnnyEpic:
Sry, couldn't resist @ time time. The troll hit home with me. Wish there was an easier way to block/delete trolls with xda app.
[Epic 4G Themes] running_the_dream:
Do I need to delete marketupdate.apk to make sure three market remains themed?
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
Yes
[Epic 4G Themes] maddoggin:
idk man i use to do that but not anymore im not sure why? if it doesnt stay themed check in settings\applications\all apps and search for the market and see what version it is maybe they updated the market again. it should be 4.3.6! like i said on my phone the only reason it wouldnt be themed is if the market updates itself! are you using the market from this theme?
[Epic 4G Themes] running_the_dream:
Thanks Dreams & Madd. @Maddoggin- I am not sure so I will answer by saying that flashed SRF 1.1.0, then your theme on top. My market is themed with Simply Blue. I just wondered whether the theme would be overwritten when the market eventually updates. I'll delete marketupdate.apk.
[Epic 4G Themes] dreamsforgotten:
You're welcome

Can you help me getting the toggle buttons on the notification bar? I can't get them work :(
[LG Optimus 2x] JJnJ:
Looks good, will try it out! Can only say good luck and keep up the good work.

Only transparent menu is a bit difficult to watch. Boot logo is amazing
[LG Optimus 2x] Driftkikker:
Hey Guys,

I got my 2x now and i want to know how to enable/put this theme on my phone can someone give me a tut / link tut ?

regards
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Very nice theme, I think I might install.

I can help with the toggle buttons... :)

I suspect you started with a framework-res.apk with hidden toggles? PM me if you don't want the conversation in this thread.
[LG Optimus 2x] Gilg@mesh:
looks nice, but would be good to tell which ROMs it works with.

edit: works great with my own Custom ROM :) thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] tiwiz:
Yes, I started with the apk I'll put in the attachment :9 I'd say speaking in the thread could help more people :)

Thanks for your help!

Framework-res.apk
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Cool, you'll need to make two version though because the frameworks are slightly different.

In /res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml you will find:

RelativeLayout android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/quick_setting_layout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0.0px">

And you need to change android:layout_height="0.0px" to android:layout_height="x.xdip"

I can't remember what the stock height is (close to 78dip I think) but you can simply take that entire file (/res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml) and copy it between frameworks - i.e. grab a framework that has the toggles visible and use the file from that version.

Again, you'll need two version though... and then somebody will ask for with/without music controls... lol. Same principle applies here, same file too.
[LG Optimus 2x] tiwiz:
There's something wrong in this file, then, try and open this XML I'm posting, I can't read anything, like it was cripted :-S
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Correct.

You need to decode the apk using apktool to read/edit the file.

You do not however need to do this if you just want to copy the file between two apks...
