To actually integrate it into the apk..

You need to pull the apk to your PC

Open archive using 7zip or equivilant (do not extract)

replace the image (usually located in res/drawable-hdpi)

push the apk back to system/app

If you have one you want me to do.. let me know
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Steve here is the latest Golauncher. Extract push to system/app. http://db.tt/PFklXUSO

Great work Steve.

Friday night beers on me. On another note Steve I found something disturbing. The picture will show the little green goblin. Get him ghost buster.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yeah.. I'm going after him!

I'm not thrilled about that red in that calendar. Is that a native widget or did you add it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallblazer124:
Its a free widget I downloaded thinking when i added it to the home screen it would have been blue. Its called smooth calendar. It switches color after u add it to the home screen. The switch in color is not that smooth to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Hulk Smash that green!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Updating

Got it..

- Blue Lock Pattern Circles

- Blue TW notification bubble

- Other blue added to TW

- EL26 Phone Icon

- Calendar landscape made more blue

- Updated GoLauncher

***TW Blue extras only added to 5x5 version

Link is up..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Can you add some blue please? Muahahahahahaha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
DL now, Thanks Steve - did that app work out for you??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
naw.. no help at all.. it pretty much just sets up google dns servers..

I am resolved to Sprint's terrible network speeds for the time being. I get 4G most of the time anyway if I am not on WiFi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
thanks for looking at it and thank you for the ROM--flashing as I type
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
steve...

is xda the only forum you post your rom ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yes.. I was thinking about talking to Mik about posting exclusively on http://themikmik.com but I think his team is exclusively HTC devices for now.. not sure. I still talk to Cho sometimes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
yeah...i think the mik team is specific to htc.

mik just release his own 3d rom.

cho hasnt really had much action on his thread since you switched over to the epic touch 4g.

just wondering....

there are a a couple of sites that would really benefit from this rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Thanks.. I appreciate that. I know that some sites are still so "it has to be deodexed" minded. After the whole "moving my rom to the themes section fiasco", I really haven't had much balls to post a rom anywhere. I mean.. I admit it. I am not a linux coder. I mean, I fiddle around in the code sometimes and compile, decompile, edit XMLs and such but overall.. I am no dev. At least not by XDA mantra so I just enjoy hunting green and proving how much better odexed is..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
i could be wrong but i dont think the other sites are as strict as xda.

whats the worst that can happen..? your thread gets taken down ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
That would be a blow to his ego!:-P But in my opinion the awesomeness of Odex needs to be spread to the heathen masses!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I would love to see MIK get a et4g and start making roms for this phone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I think the loyal users would go to Rootz. Its much more civil and lighthearted but for shear mass of development, XDA is still the place to be
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuatillo1:
can i flash the 1/4 over 1/3 version or i need to wipe dalvik, cache..??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
wiping the caches won't ever be detrimental. You could wipe every morning of you felt like it. But when flashing a new ROM version, needs to be done.don't need to write anything else though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuatillo1:
got it thanks bro..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
My copy of LauncherPro is getting a facelift ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I use Cache Cleaner NG...wipes while I am sleeping....another leak already??? Strongsteve looks like a genius for waiting!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
And unless major niftiness, he'll stick with 13, which is fine by me! Love the smoothness of a mature ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I'm not changing until ICS fellas. Most people are on calk anyways nowadays.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
anyone mess around with any led notification apps ?

ive been messing with light flow-led control to change all of the red notifications to blue. Its actually kinda fun to play with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 321321:
kernel

I installed kernel el26 and modem 29 will it work OK?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
You will be fine....thats what im running. Loving the new modem by the way!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Most people don't know the awesomeness of Odex then :D

However steve, lets say there is an official non-ICS OTA update instead of these leaks..... would you update your rom then?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yes.. official for sure or ICS either way.. leak or official
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Guys.. remember that the modem and rom/kernel are completely independent of each other.. you can have any of the modems with any of the rom/kernel combinations.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Exactly. I have the el26 kernel and the el29 modem.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Thank you so much!! Very much appreciated!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
I'm not a developer by any means, so I am unable to accomplish (what sounds like) a relatively simple task...

I have very poor reception at work, and the near constant 2G/3G switching is killing my battery life.

I

think

that this plugin would help:

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

Unfortunately, the APK needs to be signed with the same certs as the phone.apk... I have no idea how to either re-sign the toggle APK with the certs used for this ROM or to re-sign the phone.apk with the Cyanogen Cert (which is apparently what this toggle is currently signed with).

Any chance of getting the toggle re-signed (and possibly ODEXed), if I say pretty please? ;)

Thank you very much!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Sure thing. I will take a look at it. I probably wont be able to get to it until this weekend but I will see what I can do. There is a way that you can manually put your phone in 1x mode.. if you want, I will post instructions
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
This is kind of along the same lines, but check out the Roam Control app. It provides a way to switch your phone from Sprint's network to another network (Verizon...) when you're in an area of weak Sprint coverage. My oldest's high school is in a horrible area for Sprint so when I'm there watching football/basketball/etc I switch to Roam mode and i get both better signal and better battery life since my phone isn't searching constantly.

http://www.roamctrl.com/

EDIT: Disclaimer...it has been mentioned many times across many different forums that you shouldn't roam all of the time as Sprint is likely to cancel your contract. Take that for whatever you think its worth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Good idea. Unless we see some MAJOR change

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

Will the fancy animation zip messing any thing up on your latest update as far as the stuff you added and colors you changed to blue? I know it can cause the upside down screen, but I really did not have a problem with that.

So StrongSteve, you were asked to put this ROM under Themes? Been keeping up on the thread and that is what it sounded like. I think it belongs under ROMs, as it provides a different ROM experience with the ODEX.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
No.. you can flash that without any confliction. The only issue is combined with crt, it can sometimes make things upside down
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
This weekend is close enough that I can wait. ;)

Does switching to the 1X mode involve the ## codes? I have those instructions floating around somewhere, but I was looking for something slightly more automated. ;)

This looks extremely promising! From what I can find, it supports Tasker, so that is pretty excellent. Now, I just need to figure out if I can roam to something with a better signal at work. ;)

Thanks!

Attention Go Launcher / Go Locker Users !!!

Hey folks,

A lot of people using this ROM are also Go Launcher and Go Locker (including myself). I found a security vulnerability today and figured out a relatively easy remedy.

If you are using both of these products AND make use of security PIN/Pattern locks, check out the post in the General thread:

Go Locker Security Vulnernability

The rest of you can return to analyzing your phones for remaining non-blue elements to send to StrongSteve ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Just wanted to let everyone know that this Rom is running extremely smooth with the El29 kernel and Modem Im getting some great speeds and everything is as smooth as butter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ashevillemike:
That's good to know. I've not updated simply because this rom is already so smooth and fast that I don't feel the need. I just can't imagine that it can get much better than it is now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nyflyguy:
Any way to get the Galaxy S boot animation back after switching to rouge EL29 kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You can go flash the animations for custom kernels with init.d support.. its in that thread.

I personally am waiting for chris to pack stock with cwm. Always works best for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Found some green within the camera. Its in the flash options...green indicator dot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Post a screen and I will go get it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Ok.. I'm on it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Die green!!!!!! Muhaha!

I'm adding a little more color to this cam!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
That's more like it!!

Edit.. pimpin this camera
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:

Awesome sauce....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I have to work on the gallery next!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Funny...I'm in gallery everyday and I just noticed the green in there -_-
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
Maybe google maps is updated too often too bother with degreening it. I noticed these green checkmarks... And the arrow for get directions.

And maybe the 'update' label in the market list of 'my apps'
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
I think there is a blue market. I believe Cho had a custom made one.

Google maps would prolly be a biaaatch cause of the updates
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am gonna look in to those right after the gallery!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
I wonder...

Do people actually like other launchers over TW? I mean, TW is not perfect, but it seems to be gpu accelerated. Which means smoother scrolling and less battery usage (like Videos app vs. some other third-party movie app).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tommytomatoe:
How's it going over here Steve! Good work my friend!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
He's doing great. He made an awesome rom. I don't think he knows how good it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Especially thanks to you Tommy for teaching me so much. Seems things are always changing over here with the Epic Touch and completion impossible .. haha. I need to PM you about some smali code syntax. What phone is Mik developing for these days?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
So just use root explorer and drop in? Change permissions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I like the extra options in the 3rd party launchers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
I change mypixel density, so tw just doesn't work for me. I love being able to have 6x6 drawer and home screen.looks so sexy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Everytime I change my pixel density my screen feels like it is running hot...**** scares me so I change it back asap.

Steve anyway to attack the progress bar in manage applications?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] runner77:
What app do you use to change the density?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I haven't found exactly where that is... I will go hunting this weekend as I plan to update several things
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
I've have varying results w/ apps to do that. I think the easiest way is to edit the build.prop file in /system yourself. I use Root Explorer, but you can use any file manager that gives you R/W access. Navigate to /system and edit the build.prop file looking for ro.sf.lcd_density and change it. Larger numbers makes things on your screen larger, smaller makes things smaller. Default is 240. I use 195 generally. Then reboot.

Keep in mind that making this change may/will cause problems w/ the Market app thinking your phone isn't compatible w/ some apps. If you run into this, simply change it back to 240, reboot and download the app you are looking for, then go back to the settings you had before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am hoping to update with some more blue and some other things this weekend..

What is the consensus on the new dialer? Do we want to add it or not? basically, you scroll a ring instead of slide a bar.. the ring doesn't look as good but may be easier to use.. I dont know because I havent used any of those builds..

Thoughts from anyone still using this rom?

Edit.. also, I was thinking about filling in the white checkmarks in the gallery yellow because the white on dark blue seems harder to read for some reason than the green did.. so it will be a yellow checkmark inside of a dark blue box when checked..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] viper786:
Just out of curiosity, how come this ROM hasn't been updated to EL26 or EL29?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
To be perfectly honest, there has not been enough significant change. I upgraded to EK02 because it was official and a change in Android version. I upgraded to EL13 because of the COMPLETE removal of CIQ.

It is more difficult for me to redo the entire rom because of the extensive odexing process and image swapping that is required.

My official stance is that I will upgrade with anything official from Sprint or a leak with a change of substantial significance.

Plus, I think of all the ROMs nowadays mine falls near the bottom of users and therefore, if I personally don't see a need to change, I most likely wont update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
Stay true man! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tommytomatoe:
Mik is on the 3d nowadays. But he still jas his evo og. Pm me any queations man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Well they dont know what they are missing. It would take a hell of a rom to pull me off this one. I keep a good nandroid and try all the roms....2hrs later im back lol.

By the way Strongsteve +1 on the new dialer and the yellow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Same here. I've tried the other roms with themes and I always come back to this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I tried the dialer from the new build and find that it has the same functionality but really looks fugly. So I think I'm gonna leave the dialer alone for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Word......sounds good. We got a good thing goin anywho
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donnyespo:
Ive tried a few newer releases also and find myself back here when its all said and done.

Another note I tried out EL26 on top of this ROM and I really didnt think Id see much of a difference but Its does seem to download and upload faster compared to EL13 im gonna stick with it for a little and see if I have any issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Gallery with yellow check marks in blue box???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Looks good. You've done a bangup job on this rom Steve
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
yellow checks, hell yea - but yellow and blue make the bad color.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Somebody help me find the location of that green at the bottom of settings/applications
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallblazer124:
Green!:confused: lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I know about those numbers.. I changed the progress bar but those numbers are deep in the code and I will have to dig into that next time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Updating..

Instead of telling you what I changed, I am going to tell you what I failed to change...

-installed applications graph at the bottom of settings / applications

** Just gave up on finding it

-Swype highlighted text color

** APK was not recompiling without errors for me so I gave up

Will continue those objectives later.. I think you will enjoy the little things though. As always.. don't feel like you have to update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Odd Queston for knowledgeable people... I remove APK, that I think I won't need before I flash the ROM. I cannot create new calendar events, regardless of the application I use. Any thoughts on which system style APK I might need to push back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
definitely anything with the word "Calendar" or "Google" in it :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am thinking that this XML in settings.apk has something to do with that device memory graph in settings

settings.apk/res/xml/device_info_memory

Anyone want to volunteer to decompile and play around with it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killhr:
I have to agree with that too EVEN THOUGH I HATE BLUE but the rom works so well for me so i deal with the heavily blue themed rom lol great work though Strong
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
Try CalendarProvider.apk (and .odex if applicable). The friendly name for it is Calendar Storage 1.1. You can remove the calendar app if you want to use something else, but you need to leave Calendar Storage in place.

Or better yet, instead of removing system apps, just freeze them using Titanium. That way if you discover three weeks later that you shouldn't have removed something, usually you can just unfreeze. And these devices have so much memory these days, that it will be a long time before I need to remove frozen Alps to 'make room'

Cheers!

Ok.. send me a PM.. that other link was no good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Will be updating this today
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
Steve, what do you think about modifying the bars when it's roaming as well? Like keeping a symbol above the bars to notify it is roaming but change the bars from the gray that is default to what you have going on in the theme?

Also... If golauncher updated automatically after I had flashed it, if I uninstall the update I should be back to the regular odexed go launcher I flashed, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
crud.. its uploading now.. I can make you a separate flash with themed roaming
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
Any reason why the google nav has no 'speak destination'? It also is not showing any map its just black. ?

Good to have you back in the Dev section!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrpickem:
Glad to see you back where you belong.

I may have to switch back to your rom soon, I've had 3 LOS in 4 days running calks rom. I never had one in a week on your rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Check your PM.. still havent had a LoS on my rom yet..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rde34:
Have reboot and recovery options been added to long press power options on this ROM? By the way, glad to see it's considerably more easy going tonight in here. Also, will the download links be back in the OP soon? This and Calk's ROM are on a completely different level of stability. Thanks Steve.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Link is back up

I want to thank everyone for your support. I hope I can help make your phone more enjoyable.

Please understand that I never claimed to be a developer. I just simply prefer an odexed system and I took upon it myself to learn how to do it with the help of several people. Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jgonza34:
Hey steve any new updates? Cause I love your rom if u do have an update can u pm me a link please? No los and awesome battery life.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grsz06:
I see green!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lbcary:
I think that the blue with yellow checks would be a great addition to this already amazing rom. I too have flashed and tested virtually every rom i can find for the Epic Touch 4G and after a few hours im always nandroiding back to strongsteves latest blue rom.

I have one simple question tho. Before i update this rom i always wipe cache,dalvik cache,and then I use Calkulins Format/Wipe All,Except Data.zip before i flash the updated rom. My question is if the roms build changes from,for instance,EK02 to EL13,should i use Calkulins Wipe/Format all.zip,and or,the Wipe Data/Factory Reset option on CWM recovery and then completely setup the rom from scratch the way i like it. I just want to make sure that when flashing/updating im doing everything right so i dont cause any problems/issues. I used to wipe everything every time i flashed/updated roms but that takes a while to setup the rom again. Ive only used Calkulins Wipe/Format All,Except Data.zip on the same rom builds and only when updating the same rom i was running. I would think that after the build changes i should wipe/format everything,including data,but i want to hear it from someone with more knowledge than me. Thanks for the info.

One last thing. Ive been using the EL26 modem and the EL26 stock kernel repacked with CWM and i dont seem to notice much of a difference from EL13. Both the EL13 modem and EL13 kernel seem to give me very close results and the quad tests are virtually identical. So i want to know what other ppl think about the EL13 and EL26 modems and kernels and which modem/kernel they like to use.

Thanks steve for sharing what has become my favorite rom,for both the incredible performance and the amazing blue theme. Keep up the excellent work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I cant find those... very frustrating. I personally so not use TouchWiz so I dont see it :D
