I am getting down and dirty with .9 PNGs..

Do you guys like this header better than just the line?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Looking good!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Looks good! I wondered how long ya was gonna be able to go without a update. LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
i think the line that we have now looks cleaner...

the thick bar reminds me of windows :p

now im going to tackle those green progress bars in video player
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallblazer124:
+1. great work Steve.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Damn Steve, more and more green eradicated, your awesome!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compudizzal:
Keep the line... looks classy.. the full color look catoonish.. IMO also if ya want to ..place a light blue transparent back drop on the calendar.. its a little hard to see with a dark background.

************

PS.. Steve this is the best ROM dude it ROCKS... I'm very picky this is the first ROM I've flashed since release day. been rooted the entire time. But loven your work!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Video player now has blue progress and volume bars.. dont ask about the numbers
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
So...

About those numbers...

;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
What if.. instead of a solid bar, we do a double line with blue line on top too..?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
That looks nice man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
LOL, your funny.

But yes that looks nice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
Winning!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I have decided to go with a deep dark blue...

If you want the double line above, download and push to system / framework

http://db.tt/5p5Dl3gH
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
This is what I am going with for now.. link above is for double line..

I will be updating tomorrow with some goodies..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The darker blue looks really good!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddmatt02:
ok, so if I had the 12/25 update, to install the new one can I only wipe cache/dalvik and leave data alone, then flash the 12/28? I have titanium backup so I can get my stuff back that way but in rock the vegas and paradise island I always have to spend 10 gold coins to change my name so that I can get the game to connect every time I flash another rom. or if anyone knows a better way to get into the slot machine or other peoples islands/towns without changing my name.

also, how do I get the visual voicemail to work, I have updated prl/profile but I just keep getting the text from 9016 to call in for my voicemail. I am about to go search through this thread for that answer but I figuered since I was asking the first two why not throw in this question since it may be answered before I can find my own answer. I am on version T.5.2.0.24 of VVM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compudizzal:
Yes.....that's why you da Man... I like it better than the single line. Don't forget the calendar back drop. Like your notification pull down. Its just a little hard to see the numbers with one if your beautiful dark blue wallpapers ...

Still the number ROM ... I went ahead and flashed EL26 kernel and modem along with CWM recovery. I needed the extra 4g signal help at the office to stream Netflix ..

Wow the ROM rocks... every now and then I get botched video though... Don't know why. I look forward to that issue being ironed out.... That's my only eyebrow mover I have... Lol

Thanks STRONG STEVE!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R2D2 631:
I would keep it how it wuz with one single skinny line..looks nice and elegant...thats wat i think..:-)

UPDATING
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Looking Good :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Uamore6:
I tried the update and get fc on both voice and camera. Wentback to previous update working fine but had to flash Odin to get it to flash. I think and i'm a noob so correct me if wrong update on 12/28 you must have a kernel with cwm but update 12/31 has it in ROM? Or could this be the reason getting fc with update 12/31?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
It always comes with a kernel plus cwm. Did u wipe when flashing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grsz06:
I have same issue...force close on camera and voice. Did full wipe before update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Uamore6:
I flashed whipped everything... I even wentas far as doing Calkins format. It has something to do with ROM. It doesnt not booth by itself. (this is talking about update 12/28) update 12/31 does but has fc issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Did u ever format you SD as suggested before?

Are you wiping everything 3 times?

Even caulking wipe 3x. I would think something strange is happening if only a couple of people are having these issues. I came off a stock setup and haven't had one issue with this rom...and I stay updating. I would say to backup internal/external SD...and literally wipe everything 3x
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I took the link down to fix issues.. sorry.. it was late.

will get fixed

Edit.. I have fixed those issues and new link will be available within the hour.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jnuts5423:
do you need to do a full wipe when updating? and should you do the ##data step as well? thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
found something else...

Updating again.. apparently, a few things did not like the PNG optimization process.. back soon..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Link is back up.. Let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Going to check it out in a few minutes ...thanks strongsteve!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
coming from 12/28 did a modified wipe---all is good. Speeds are freaking amazing, smooth and stable. Love what you're doing Steve, the green eradication is looking very, very good. Just wondering if there's a way to put this biotch on a diet and get her around 280mb installed? maybe drop all the launchers??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
There is definitely some bloat that I rid on my own setup but there is someone that would want it out there I am sure..

I get rid of all touchwiz stuff, sns stuff, extra walpapers, clocks, widgets.. and what not.

I would rather leave it so that it is compatible with my rom structure and then the user can choose to delete it.

Thanks for the feedback.

I am going to start working on the music app.. even tho I use poweramp and now that I have mastered the .9 PNGs, green needs to fear me.. haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tahde:
Very nice and quick. You've done it again Steve!

If one wants to go back to the Standard TW Launcher, we just need to flash the zip in the OP again? Only thing I want back (I'm too use to it. lol).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
too true, what app are you using to uninstall?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I use Root Explorer. Just mke sure to click the box on the top,right so it shows "R/O"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I use titanium. It will delete both the apk and the odex. If you do it manually, make sure you get both files. Oh yeah.. I forgot to mention .. odex rules.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
Prepping to install the update...

I'm guessing I should install the EL26 modem first, if I desire, correct?

I'm planning on doing a full wipe to eliminate any possible points of errors.

Is there any problem with or reason not to go ahead and delete any of the .APK and .ODEX files from the ROM prior to flashing it?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Sure.. you can yank anything out of the zip that you don't want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Looks good so far.

Loving this ROM!

I'm working on ripping out all the things that I'm never going to use (tremendously useful lists for this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1279545 ).

I am going to be throwing some better (more useful, to me) things in the space freed on /system. :)

A couple of quick questions for anyone in the know... I don't want to screw up the speed I have now, so I figured I'd be better off asking before doing. ;)

Odex + zip-aligning. Any particular order these should be done in? I'm guessing Odex first, but what do I know.

Is there any reason to

not

set a script to run at boot that will odex/zip-align everything? (I know that some ROMs have an aligning script built in already.)

I would love to integrate this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739530

into the ROM so as to avoid an additional flash step. Is there a "recommended" method to accomplish this? The post mentions that it signs with the CM key, that shouldn't break anything, from what I can tell, but I'm not a developer. :P

Thanks for any input/suggestions/answers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I personally don't recommend any scripts, undervolting, or profiles that cripple performance in any way, shape, or form. The beauty of odex means.. just let it run :)

However .. feel free to experiment to your hearts content!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
steve, just wanted to say thank you for a great rom and hope you and yours have a safe and happy new years.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Would you guys teach me to use the odex thing thats in the rom to be used with the terminal? Ive read the link everyone posts when this question is asked but i dont quite understand it ={

Thanks for all the hard work on this rom Steve, ive said it before but this rom is the best looking and fastest of them all (ive flashed them all XD)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Absolutely. Have a happy and healthy 2012. Thanks for all of the hard work and timely updates strongsteve!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I will look into that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I have the dark blue with black Nexus Swype but I haven't had luck pushing it. I will email it to strongsteve so he can take a look at it. I was probably doing something wrong
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
OH, you sexy blue biotch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
http://jbthemes.com/djdarkknight/darkswype-morph/

I use the blue swype there, but it's the full languages. I have tried to strip out the excess, and also tried to just move over the blued parts, but didn't have any luck. However this was also when I was trying to odex on ek02, and use the files on el13. So maybe I'll try again.

Thanks for the reply.

I honestly was asking about the zip-align & odex more as a way to increase performance on the apps I'm installing after the ROM is up and running.

The 2g/3g toggle is of interest to me because I can't keep a 3g signal at work, and the constant searching is killing my battery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
Having lot's of trouble after installing latest update. (probably no fault of the ROM)

I had the 12/25 or 12/28 version installed with desperado kernel. Downloaded and installed the latest this morning (12/31) and forgot to wipe cache/dalvik. After reboot, was stuck at Samsung Logo screen.

Could not get into CWM, so had to odin StockCWM. Then tried to wipe cache/dalvik. Still stuck at samsung logo. wiped data. Still stuck at logo. Tried to restore my nandroid from this morning. Md5 mismatch. Restored my previous nandriod back (Venem) and it booted fine. Fixed the nandroid.md5 (mismatch was on system.ext4.tar) on today's and restored it. Stuck at Samsung logo.

Did Calk's Format All and installed 12/31 and stuck at samsung logo. Can't get into CWM.

Starting over with Odin. I must have a bad download.

EDIT:

After Odin again, I installed the 12/28 version along with my data and I'm back to where I was this morning (minus my boot anim).

Looks like I did get a bad download of the 12/31 script. First time I've gotten a bad download on the phone that reported "download successful". My fault for not checking the MD5 before flashing.

EDIT2:

Redownloaded and isntalled 12/31 and wiped cache/dalvik. All is working fine.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I have been changing a bunch of little things.. such as the sliders in battery settings, and other .9 pngs that I avoided before. Once I get a lot of them done, I will do another update. Nobody has convinced me that EL26 is worth the effort. Its harder for me because I have to decompile jars, make the mods, recompile jars, go in and replace the certain images with my blue ones, then go through the odexing process, and then optimize. I did it for EK02 because it was an android version upgrade.. I did it for EL13 because of the total removal of CIQ. I just dont see anything that significant here. Feel free to go try out all the other guys EL26 and see whats better.. In the meantime, I will focus here on green hunting and opting further.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Found some green within the touchwiz/stock clock and its tools such as stopwatch, timer, alarm and world clock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:

EDIT:::

DIE GREEN.. DIE!

EDIT number 2:::

Adding toggles
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Toggles... coming soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Awesome Steve. Thanks been waiting for that. Will wait until then to reflash.

Man I love the blue!!

Will it be part of ROM or a MOD?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benherman:
Steve, when I flash from the 12/28 release to the 12/31 the calendar guess from the slick black and blue to the stock white. Just a heads up. Fantastic ROM!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Toggles looking good!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
I couldnt agree more Strongsteve! I keep a good nandroid and have tried many EL26 builds. Deodexed or not I just cant find anything to persuade you to make the move to an EL26. Plus I'm all about the latest and greatest, so I run the EL26 kernel and modem. I have been flashing phones for quite awhile and this rom rules! You have come so far with this already so why switch. Keep up the good work....Im anticipating the new update....sounds promising!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
The last remaining item to make this perfect. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
4g toggle too! Last remaining item is right but I'm sure strongsteve will find something to improve. He's a .9 PNG master now so he can change pretty much whatever he wants

Found some green for ya, located in two places in the calendar

1: create reminder +

2: reminders + inside create an event.

Hope that helps out, your ROM is fantastic and fast.

Earlier I posted about the default touch wiz calendar widget. In the 12/28 release it was black and blue, now it seems back to normal (white). Any way to get that back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am not sure if I shared this but I have an inverted Go Calendar widget if anyone wants it. I also have several inverted apps..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Is there a way to change the order of the toggles or is that a no go?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That is not an option on this version but I am happy to have the 4g toggle instead. I know that doesn't help everyone though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Is that the issue with 4g that if it is included you cant modify the order? Wish I had 4g in my area
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benherman:
That would be great if you don't mind sharing john.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Right, you cant change the order but the toggle scrolling is butter smooth and the extra toggles are very useful

Not a problem. Here you go...

http://db.tt/7Vm2QABy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I will odex that widget for my system and make it into a flashable. I thought people wanted that widget more stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
John thanks for the calendar widget. Steve do you want the betas of Golauncher odexed or the stables? I didnt realize they were doing betas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Feel free to odex them and post as you do a great job with that. When I update, I will look for your latest post to include in the package.

Is it the consensus then to go back to the other calendar widget?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
Steve.. Were you able to get ahold if the "blueness"? Swype is pretty much all I use, and, honestly, would complete your build for me. i'm pretty sure I've said it before...but thank you for all your hard work and dedication. It is appreciated. :):D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am definitely working on that.. should be soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
OK Ii'm going to try the beta today and see if it is stable. Yea the inverted calendar looks better to me but thats just a old hillbillys take on it. LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
ok.. I have a VERY nice blue swype curtesy of DJDarkKnight. I am going to try to strip out all the extra languages and make it English only.. stay tuned.

EDIT.. I have stripped out all the languages except English and we will have a very nice blue swype soon! Crap.. its force closing.. still working
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
I'm on boost so the 4g toggle is useless to me. But they are butter smooth. Nice to have the option anyway.

Everytime I update I delete anything that has to do with wimax just cause I can't use it -_-

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uofajac:
I'm on rooted stock EK02 with CWM. Can I flash this ROM even though it has a different base? Anyone reporting issues with that?

Sorry if this is a noob question. I left the S2 back in November (LoS issues) for the iphone 4s. I hated it. Came back as soon as I heard the new base fixed the LoS issues. So far so good. Anyway, I used Strongsteve before and loved it. Would like to flash again. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Steve thought I'd mention this not sure if anyone would be interested but I do have the AOSPEmail.apk odexed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Correct.. EL13 rom and EL26 kernel.. no problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Kernel and rom are two seperate things. If you read back a few pages you will see where some of us Steve included are running el26 kernels & modems with the el13 rom works just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Wow Steve these toggles really complete your rom. I love them. Its so nice tone able to turn 3g off to save battery in bad reception area without going into settings it having a widget on the homescreen. Thanks again bro.

Just flashed. No problems to report. Looks fantastic Strongsteve. Thanks for the ROM!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Just a quick update...almost 48 hours and no LOS :).

Steve--how did you do it (cut down/practically eliminate LOS)? Samsung/Sprint should ping you for your secret...I seriously was getting LOS (even with LOStKernel) once or twice a day prior to switching to your ROM.

Thanks!
