[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
The man himself that made the keyboard for me :)

Your a star mate ... I may just take you up on that offer one day ..

Laters :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
Wonderful theme, the best android theme in my opinion. I just wonder why is there only 3 icons on TW homescreen not 4 or 5 (TW 4.5) also if you themed contacts etc tabs on phone.apk not dialler pad only it would be immaculate.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rvdj:
just for youre theme gona try the rom see how that runs here very wel done :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
@yay1974

Yes I agree..

Remeber this is the first release...

It takes weeks to perfect a theme and I have much more to do..

Thankyou for your kind words :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SweSarah:
Just installed the "BLACK Chrome EDITION" awesome work mate =)

Works perfect on VR 2.4.2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Weste90:
I have just a question ... which might be dumb ^^

does a theme has any effect on battery life (except for colors maybe...) ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
No...its just diiferent png images ...It has no effect ..

You may gain a little more with a darker theme colour but not much..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Hey hun..

Must be good to pull you away from neongt :) ...

Glad you like it x
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Thankyou ..

May even be a small update tomorrow.

The arrow on the keyboard is still blue for starters...

1000's of png files...some always slip the net ..

I will be supporting this theme for the rest of the year...

Watch this space hehe
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mattisfaction:

---------- Post added at 01:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

Is that Launcher Pro? or another launcher also is it resource heavy?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SweSarah:
dragon546 : I use "Go Launcher", it works well for me :)

Nothing but great comments again....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Hey Sarah...

Lookin sexy babes hehe x
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
Yes I know that, those were my first impressions and I don't make compliments I tell the truths :D By the way I asked you why is there 3 icons on TW home screen I mean at the dock, why not 4 or more. I also have some little issue phone and contacts icon names are in native language beneath the icons but applications icon name is in English
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Yeah feedback like this is always helpful, I understand that and without this feedback I cant improve on it ...

Im not running chrome atm ..as I working on the honeycomb theme now...another reason why this kind of feedback is helpful ..

Regarding the Touchwiz Launcher ..I have no idea why there is only three icons ..

I just themed the background behind the icons and changed the app icon to match...thats all I did with it ..I'll compare it to stock 30 launcher and see if I can find out why and change it to four again ..( I actually liked three icons...looks kinda cool)

For the native language and the other issue where it needed to be themed can you post some screens ..its much easier for me to see and then I know exactly what png needs to be changed ...after doing so many themes Ive got to know almost every png files located and what goes where ..

Thank you again ..

Rixsta :)

check rom v2 compatibility

Guys,

Just a quick question , do these themes are compatible with checkrom v2. Can any one kindly answer , as I dont want to reload the OS again as I have got some corporate apps on my device ?

regards

VJ
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
Well I am on Batista again and since it has TW 4.5 your theme caused tw FC so I made launcher pro default to resolve the issue, so i can't send you screenshot now.

But let me explain you again Rixsta, in TW homescreen the bottom icons or dock icons, whatever you call it, are 3 in number not 4 as in default tw homescreen. Language issue is about the labels of those dock icons applications icon labeled in English "Applications" and rest two are in native language (ie, phone=telefon, contacts=rehber). Thanx in advance, take care :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DenLarik:
Hey Rix.. Tell me how to change icons in TW?

p.s. it's very annoying
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] D108:
dude, dude, dude :)

this chrome theme is the best.

after yesterdays drama i had, i just had to wipe everything and start fresh, so flashed with DK , and installed the theme i initially downloaded, worked like a charm.

Only issue i had was, like yay1974 mentioned, i too had missing icons, infact, i had only 2, somehow he managed to get 3, lol....

wasn't a real prob, as i had wiped everything anyways... so yeh, i just had to "add" those other 2 icons back and now going to sort my screens out and my app drawer.... :)

now, 1 thing i did notice, i don't know if its the theme or DK rom, but everytime i have to choose the input method (keyboard), i unlike others, love the swype keyboard, and it defaults to the samsung keyboard... thats the only gripe i have atm, will see where and why its causing that...

thx again for a great theme :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
@rixsta i was talking about this, i have three icons not 4 in either checkrom or batista and i am talking about those icon labels..

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

After resolving those small issues I suggest this theme should be SGS2 official theme :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] D108:
yay1974, lol, as mentioned in mypost above, i only had 2 icons...

its easy to "fix", go into your app drawer, press menu --> edit, then just press and hold the icon you want from drawer and drag it onto the dock(i think thats what its called, ie. the bottom section ;) ) and you sorted...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Yes it will work for v2 :)

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

True ..

To have matching icons though Id have to theme all the apks and change the icons to chrome ones ...

Its just not practial ..

What is the most comman forth app that people would use and Ill theme it ? ..

As for the language I have no idea whats causing that :( ..

Really no idea at all ..

As I said I only themed the icon background and changed the icon to chrome ..I never messed with anything else regarding the launcher ...

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

OK ...Maybe I should theme touchwiz 4.5 ? ..

I just heard this one runs smoother ?

What do you think ..

It may also fix the issue ..

Ill flash it as stock first to see if there are 4 icons ..

Dam touchwiz is a pain ..why cant we have a feature where we can use custom icons like most launchers ...problem solved ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
touchwiz 4.5 is superb and u don't need any other launcher except changing the icons it would be really cool if you themed that :)

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

You got TW 4.5? I could do that too but my tw 4.5 crashes, FC :confused:

OK. after recovery and wiping Dalvik cache TW is now fixed but i guess it works as TW4 not 4.5

Oh no way it crashes again, i will try to implement your res png into the rom and try that way
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Your welcome ...

Thats not theme related ..I just themed a few pngs for the keyboard ..

Glad you like it ..

Like I do :)

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

Honeycomb once again has had to take a back seat because of black chrome ..

Ive got 9 themes to attend to WFT OH...No ...10 themes ..

I have snukems pink theme to do as well ..

wow ..

Black chrome has to come first though ..

Touhwiz will have to stay as it is for now ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
so if i was to download black chrome is that updated now?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Randall Flagg78:
I love the Chrome Style!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ghostami:
Hi Rixsta,

I love this theme, I like it better over Nitroz Black theme, used to be on that. Maybe after this Nitroz might come up with another one better :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
@rixsta

i have implemented your png res into batista rom and changed pngs for tw4.5 too i can use it with tw 4.5 without problem, thanx again for this great theme
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Cool

Check this out !!!!!!

OMG ..Im good :)

A little teaser ...

Touchwiz

Completely themed the dialer now ...Awesome :)

Rixsta's on fire ....

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

No ...see above :)

This update will 100% come tonight :)

I promise ......

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

Nice mate ...

To save me time ...can you send it me and I'll pack it into the theme ...

Screen above is still touchwiz 4 but I themed gmail ..(not just the icon like some do :) ) .....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
@rixsta

sure it will be a pleasure for me :) but there is one small problem with me with dialer pad here is the screen capture, i even flashed your theme after deleting TouchWiz30Launcher.apk inside and it didn't fix the problem maybe i should have deleted some pngs in some apks but i am not an android themer :D also the dock icon label language problem is resolved with TW 4.5

By the way I am looking forward to your update. I wish you had made an icon pack for the apps too so that we could change any icon in the app drawer. take care mr genius :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JLowe:
Really awesome. I like the orange theme.

Encountered some minor problems with kh3.

battery symbol only changes in 5% steps and if you activate Bluetooth then the bt-icon didn't change like the stock one, it stays like it is.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Its because its a full apk file ...you just copied and pasted the 9s and you need to compile them ...thats why its messed up ...

Can you please send me the original one ...sorry for being a pain but Im so busy with the theme ..

Im theming almost every single app in checks rom ...doesn't matter if your on a different rom ..its just folders and will still flash ...if you have the app of course ..

Theming all these apps is going to take a long time ..when its done you will have all the icons you need to put in the dock from touchwiz ...

Ive done gmail and browser so far ...

Im not just changing the icon either ..Im theming parts of it too to look nice

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

mmm your the second person to have this with a different rom and different theme ..

Strange ...

Man I need an extra team mate....someone that is willing to work everyday like I do :) hahahaha ....

Whos idea was it to have so many themes ...Im nuts
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
@rixsta

awesome news from you buddy. well i didn't understand which original apk did you ask? contacts or phone apk?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Sorry I wasnt clear ..

No the original touchwiz 4.5 so I can theme it ..

Glad you like the new dialer icons at the top ..

Thanks ..

Went to theme the camera but I can see why people dont bother ..I changed the button and button press and the icon ...changing the rest would look silly lol ..

Well at least the camera can be added to the touchwiz dock if needed :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
Here is both TW 4.5 and TW4 for Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4G, I haven't tried it yet but people say it is smoother than TW 4.5 and has similar extra functions as TW 4.5. I wish you could theme both versions. Thanx in advance :)

As I tried TW epic Touch i can say that tw 4.5 is more customizable so i think you should just theme tw 4.5
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JLowe:
Concerning the 5% battery issue:

If I first install jkay 9.2 and after this your theme... I don't have this issue.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sashavegas:

Well actually I sent it from Batista 3.7.7 ROM link it may be tweaked
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
LOL ...

More to come yet...

This was the major update though and thanks to everyone for your amazing comments...

Really makes the phone look great doesn't it :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Yeah maybe...anyway its awesome...thanks for sharing...

Love how its more custom now...much better..

Did the re-flash work?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
You are always welcome :) Yes you don't need a third party launcher with this one. I wasn't satisfied with Batista about battery life and reverted back to Criskelo again.

Oh no the same problems and more :( Also has quickpanel problems too. I'll give extra details tomorrow. Well I should sleep now it is 2:35 and I should get up early for work. Take care buddy
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Mmm...

Try to backup with titanium and do a full wipe...this is the problem now...the more i theme it the more its likely to only fully work on checks rom as thats what its based on...

Nothing i can do about it and im not going down the porting route as i just dont have the time...and tbh im ****e at porting lol

Will put credits up in post 2 tomorrow

Must sleep...ive got a theming headache too :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nutmegy:
NEON GT red theme... market place goes to the old one and transparent

Hey Rixsta..

unsure with this was meant to be the case but for some reason the vending.apk goes to the old version and is transparent... makes it a nightmare to read lol..

any chance on theming the NEW vending.apk?

much appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Yep I use the old markets in all my themes ..

I hate the new one ..

Only option is to put the original one back in using something like root explorer....

system/app
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nutmegy:
no probs sir!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
@rixsta

hi there :) i couldn't solve the dialpad problem, it occurs in criskelo too, i tried to flash matted blue theme first to resolve quickpanel buttons problem it worked for them but dialpad problem is still out there after I flashed your theme. What is the png file I should change?

by the what about the credits for the theme :D i would be very proud of that actually, even mine is small feedback for you

PS: screenshot belongs to before black chrome update so top icons are stock not black chrome but my problem is with the background
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Bad news for some I'm afraid ..

There is a new awesome feature in the up and coming V4 Check rom which means I have to re theme Black Chrome ...

This has unfortunately made it check rom exclusive ...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
@rixsta, I guess you are busy there to answer me ;) anyway i found a temporary solution for other roms to make it work: to take settings.apk systemui.apk and contacts.apk from checkrom and insert them into the rom i am going to use then i'll flash your theme. but i flashed checkrom again to see if your theme is working well and there is still a bug in your theme in settings.apk i guess. here is the screen from checkrom ( it was already there before the update and you can see it in other roms too). can you please fix it or at least tell me how to fix it.

PS: i would appreciate your themeing experience with me for android. i have a deviantart page and a few original ideas and windows themes there.. i could make my android theme...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
I will help you when things calm down ..

I looked at your screenshot but wheres the bug ? ...

Im lost ....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
well look at the choice buttons right and look at the chosen one, i think it should not look like that as if something overlapped there
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Nope thats not a bug ....

Thats how it is meant to look ..

Here is the PNG taken out the framework ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
:D :D :D oh my God since it is small in the screen it looks as a bug one side dark and one side light

I am using every feature in Criskelo in the way as I told you. But I want to ask why are icon labels not shown only here? What am I missing?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Thats strange ...have you turned them off ..there is an option in preferences I think to turn the labels off ...maybe im wrong ..

:confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yay1974:
well something more strange is when i checked my apps eg. cpu spy, antutu benchmark when i checked their options menu as in tw launcher they were not labeled ??? :confused: :confused: i don't what to change as an apk in Criskelo. By the way tw launcher options turns off only homescreen dock and app icons labels off
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
I have no idea then ...

Must be a conflict somewhere ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
one thing that i just noticed..on stock messaging you was able to choose how many contacts you want to send the same message...dont have that option with the theme..anyway to change that or shall i just wait when the new release comes with checkrom
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
THANK YOU ...!!!

Im using the old mms.apk ..

I will pack the theme into the new one from V4 ..

Anyway ..thats why its not working ..Im posting some update screens on checks thread (xda) soon ...

Cheers ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
was that kinda a sarcastic thank you?:mad:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
OMG ...No it wasn't ...

I meant it ..

If you hadn't of told me then I would of released it ..found out after and had to pull the link down..change it and upload it again quoting why ..

I wasn't being sarcastic at all ..I even pressed the thanks button, you saved me alot of trouble ..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
Sorry fella my bad..Glad that i came to some good use for you then. Anything to help out you guys for all the hard work you put in for us.

Listen i have a couple of questions.

I managed to get Jkay v10 working with the check rom. Problem is the theme of yours gets a bit messed up with the jkay theme. for example i flashed your theme on to checkrom. then i have to flash jkays theme first and then install the settings to be able to get it work..now once i get it to work the drop down menu ie notification bar all the toggles like wifi, data background stay into jkays one...any ideas as to why?

cheers bud and sorry again if i thought you was being sarcy.

:D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
That's becoz jkays mod overwrites the SystemUI.apk which has the notification icons/ data icons / wifi icons etc.
