[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I believe it has to do with going from certain kernels to others and the order is strange. Someone wentvfrom the Rogue Gunslinger to Rogue Hitman by flashing in recovery and lost it each reboot. Then he flashed the tar in Odin and was fine. Others flashed right over the old one and were fine. Now, going from Chris's kernel to a Rogue kernel can be an adventure. I had a friend who couldn't get a Chris kernel working after using Rogue until he went back to full stock and flashed a Chris kernel in Odin. This shouldn't happen but for some reason switching between the 2 isn't always as easy as updating strongsteve's ROM when he updates
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rob97ss:
Yeah, that's what I had to do, Odin a Chris kernel.. Thanks..

Bobby O'S Epic Touch..

Thanks...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
nice! thanks a bunch strongsteve, your work is much appreciated here :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Also.. I have made it so there is a permenent blue outline around the google search box.. not sure if y'all want that too ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Try this (blue) live wallpaper to complement the theme of the rom. It's pretty nice and not very battery draining.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Steve that last gmail.apk I posted a page or so back has icons updated if you want to grab that too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
That is the one that is in there.

Hey.. if you have time, there are several needing done in email
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Oops, I'm blind, did not see the gmail listed, my bad.

Yes I will look into the email. Tonight after work if possible (at work now). Also have a computer I have to fix for someone tonight, so will see what happens :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks Strongsteve ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I swear, everyone helps each other out on this thread like no other. I am not sure if I shared this wallpaper before. I had Shane6374 change it from orange to blue. Its not the highest definition but it looks good and maybe someone can work some magic and clean it up a bit if necessary ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Here is one of my personal favorites
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Like that!

I see what you mean strongsteve, once you start updating icons, it never stops. Lol.

I see what you mean on the phone and contacts, will look into it tonight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Damn, I have that one too! I have so many blue wallpapers I forget which I shared and which I didn't! Strongsteve, will that dialer you made for me still work or no because it was from what EG31?! LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I like wallpapers, but with icons on the screen, things look too cluttered when I use wallpaper, so I usually just keep mine black.

Slow night at work so getting a lot of xda time in. (very unusual)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Thanks for all the help on changing my Tapatalk icon. I didn't know there was a themed blue inverted Tapatalk. I found it in the market thanks to haxxorcist and purchased it for $3.99. It looks fantastic. I not only have a blue icon now but the whole app is themed blue and black/ transparent. The new Voicemail looks fantastic, too, Steve.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] runner77:
Can you re-share a few of your favorites in your collection? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I was looking at that myself, very nice looking!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I'm hooked on the black and blue inverted apps. The price is a bit steep but it was worth it to me for the wow factor. Since its transparent I had to change wallpapers to black carbon fiber so I cloud read the blue text.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] haxxorcist:
in the settings you can choose between transparent or inverted. so no need to disable wallpapers.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If strongsteve doesn't still have the zips, I will email them all to him so he can zip them up for all to enjoy. I have been collecting blue and black wallpapers for over a year now. I have many more blue than black though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Should have the phone/contacts icons changed to blue soon, just need to test them on my phone.

I will work on email next. I need to put that on my phone so I know what icons to do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
After a few flashes I think I got all the phone/contact menu icons themed to blue, at least the ones that matter. I also themed the icons at the top of the screen a shade of blue when NOT selected. Let me know if that looks ok (not to hard to see).

I also looked at the Email as you asked StrongSteve. I don't ussually have that installed so I installed it and set up my gmail account, but it looked as if all the menu icons were blue already. Maybe it is using some from another app I themed? Let me know.....

So attached is the phone/contacts

StrongSteve, please check your PM for a list of what hue/saturation and sepia I have used for stuff incase you need it to match my work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Can I get a copy of this Wallpaper?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire118:
Steve can you add in odub303's network fix..that thing really does work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Sure will!

I just wanted to thank everyone for working together. This is the only thread u go into where no one is arguing and everyone is helpful. Thank you everyone for that. This Rom had the best developer and users. I wish I could help out more I just have alot going on with my health right now but thank you all again especially to Steve for the awesome Rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Got it.. I will be updating in a few days with all the new stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire118:
We just wanna see this rom prosper..amazing work went into this...and your right about this thread not be cluttered with bs..just a bunched of positive users doing whatever to lend an hand to Steve and extend the functionalities of this from to no bound :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You guys just let me know if the blue ever gets to be too much. I don't mind red to act as opposite of blue in some cases and black and white are always welcomed too. I never want to sacrifice contrast or functionality.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
...well, since you brought it up....a while back you provided some of us with a framework-res file that reverted the status bar clock and text back to the original off-white.

Would it be possible to get that again? I thought about re-applying the one you provided a few weeks ago, but it would seem that you've made other changes so I wasn't sure if it was still the most updated.

THX!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yes.. I will do that with the next update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Ok, I am not sure if i have all of the goodie add ons in place. To go back through the thread and check them all or wait for the update ....hmmmmm. Also, I think I will try to whip up another wallpaper zip. Strongsteve explained taking my wallpapers and zipping them but I am a serious computer nOOb. I do everything on my phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cardenas5810:
hey steve...dont know whats going on but i have flashed your latest update and i keep having GPS issues. it never wants to lock on . Ive never had this issue with any of your roms so thats why im sooo puzzled right now!! i need my navigation steve! i always try everything i can to fix the issue before i post in your thread,, but nothing seems to work :{
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Try grabbing GPS Status app and in settings clear a GPS stats. It may clear it right up for you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Dang.. I am not sure.. Mine locks spot on within a few seconds..

Anyone else having these problems?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Oh Tegrak and Mobile Odin have updates...go get them. Supposedly Tegrak added some sort of custom kernel support
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Also.. I am going to do some more things with Gmail.. just changing the yellow arrows and orange stars.. crap like that. I think its important to leave the text color and background colors alone to maintain readability.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Your changing the clock back to white or putting u a separate framework with it white?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I don't see yellow arrows..

Do you need me to do anything else before next update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
separate framwork-res..

I could offer up the color.xml if you guys feel comfortable with decompiling and recompiling/signing. That way you could do that with every new framwork.res-apk from now on..

otherwise.. I can do it.

I personally love the color of the clock and status text. It is sky blue #0099FF
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
These yellow thingymabobs.. there are several images like this that I plan to change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
YES! You could go through email.apk, settings.apk, vtt-sprint.apk (new one)

Check drawable, drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, drawable fingers..

these are still in email.apk..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cardenas5810:
That worked brahh! Thanks now I get locked on within 3 seconds
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Cool.

I would be willing to learn to decompile, recompile, sign. PM if you would like to show me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Ok, I forgot about them
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Ok, I will look into them. Are them the only icons in email I need to hit? If so I probably can do it without installing the app..

By "new" vvt-sprint.apk, you mean the one in the latest full ROM version you released?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Great.. you can handle that for me too.. :)

You will need a copy of APK Multi-tools found here

http://apkmultitool.com/?q=node/5

and Notepad ++

PM me a good time and I will contact you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Great! At least I am good for something around here. I need to step up my graphics skills...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
No.. the vtt-sprint included in my last post titled "new apps"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Strongsteve, so with "new apps" and 2/5 I have almost everything right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Yes it should, except a few posts back I added a contacts.apk that updates the phone/contacts, you could push that if you wanted

Ok, your talking about this post....?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22251648&postcount=3397

I only see 3 menu icons on my voicemail, but I don't have any voicemails saved to see if there are more menu options. Should I just theme ALL the icons in the vvt-sprint to be on safe side of getting what we need?

I have been picking through most the apps getting what we NEED, but am thinking when I have time I should just get them ALL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Ok.. I cleaned up all the yellow carrots and orange stars ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Ok StrongSteve, Here is the vvt-sprint update

I pretty much just themed EVERY icon, so hopefully this hits what you need.

I will still look into email and settings later....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Does anybody have messed up buttons in settings/applications/manage applications??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
No.. are you on my latest rom.. 2-5??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Mine seem ok
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
im on 2/3 with updated settings apk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
NO!!! If you are NOT on 2-5, you will have jacked up settings..

AGAIN.. please.. if you are not on my 2-5, do not complain about issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
My bad! If thats the case I dont know why you posted a seperate settings app? Either way I'll flash 2/5. Thanks for your help SS....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
That was prior to the update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] haxxorcist:
I'm loving the theming that you did on battery usage, but noticed the blue line seems to disappear (maybe it's just black) when battery is very low. also the phone signal bar...considering the others have been themed, I'm guessing it wasn't overlooked but hard to them to blue while still showing meaningful info, but the green really stands out.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Paul. I extracted the phone contracts zip and there are 4 files in it. Do I need to push all 4 to system/app or just the apk and odex file? Also I am curious about something. If I went into system/app with root explorer and moved the old contacts apk and odex files out, could the zip file then be flashed in recovery? Just wondering.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yeah .. I should try to find that. Digging through smali code is mind numbing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Guys, I was extremely hopeful of the el26 kernel but I'm consistently getting horrendous battery life. Its definitely snappier but battery life is suffering. Any ideas?

This is probably not the best example but trust me on always draining fast without much use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Didnt mean to piss you off. I read every post and didnt mean to clutter this with a question....just thougt the 2/5 update was the 2/3 update with updated settings apk and some blue icons....my bad? This rom is awsome and ive been rocking it for about 20 updates in a row lol. Guess I was trying to get out the lazy way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Sorry Error
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
If you are using Tegrak, try swithching governor to conservative. If the problem is deeper like excessive drainage we can try other things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You themed the wrong one.. I added the icons to the updated one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Just push apk and odex, probably really only need the apk. The rest of the files were for Steve.

I dont know how to make a zip to flash in recovery. Possibly you could use sone existing flashable zip and and put these files in it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
WHAT! lol, I did? So you used the icons I posted today though? I had two folders with icons, in the zip. (yes, your right I screwed a file up and grabbed the apk out of 2/5 to relace the apk, forgot it was not updated,,, sorry)

When I do the setting and email, the ones in 2/5, I can use to theme right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Which modem are you running? I tried EL29 modem on Calkulin's EL29 Rom with Chris's EL26 stock kernel and my battery life seemed to go down. I switched back to the EL26 modem and that's what I'm still using on this Rom. I know others are using EL29 and getting good battery life but it might be worth trying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I've taken pjjohn's icons and combined them with my new vvm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
i like that combo :D its nice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Now that's looking really nice!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Definitely worth trying. EL13 and EL26 gave me my best speed/battery combo. Also, these aren't the first few hours after flashing are they? I assume you gave it a day or two or a couple of battery cycles to settle in right? Edit..that was just me nitpicking. The EL29 numbers are great as well. I am talking a 1 or 2% difference over 8 idle hours
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Still wamt me to look at email and settings when I get home strongsteve?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yessir
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Ok, my first project is to fix a computer, so will be really late. Probably like 3am.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Ok, I just installed Tegrak and set to conservative. Ill charge again overnight and report back on how well it works.

I wanted to keep the new modem el29 but if this doesn't work perhaps ill try flashing El26 modem again.

Hopefully I can get this figured out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
No these aren't the first few hours. Unfortunately I've cycled battery a quite a few times thanks to the quick drain.

Are you referring to me trying the el13 or el26 modem or kernel? I just installed tegrak and set to conservative. Ill try charging overnight and see how that works first I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well, you can try EL26 modem. I never run anything other than on demand but that is just me. Maybe a rogue app. It could be several things. The constant in every strongsteve build has been speed/stability and battery life so its definitely odd for it to take a major dip. Grab BetterBatteryStats to get a more detailed breakdown of what's happening
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Sprint Voice Mail

ok.. this should be the final version of sprint VVM going in to my upcoming update.

Extract and PUSH to system/app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Here is the updated Email.

StrongSteve, the icons, apk, odex included.

Everyone else just push the apk and odex, ignore the icons.. Or just wait for StrongSteve to approve.....

FYI, a handy little app is SDX App Removal. It is used to backup and restore system files. Its save folder is "/sdcard/sdx/backup/app". I also use it for pushing these files.. I just place said file in the above folder. Then go into SDX, delete the existing application and "restore" the new one... As far as I understand this is a free to use app...

Edit: Here is the settings.apk also. StrongSteve, I only notice 6 files that look like they needed work in this, let me know if I missed something you wanted..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Ok.. all the android packages are where I want them to be so I just need to optimize them all again. I should be updating later..

Odub network fix

New sprint vvm

Lots more blue menu icons

More opting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
What color do we want these tabs to be?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
The same color blue as the status bar, ie the signal bars. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
pjjohn

Will you do the icons in clockpackage.apk?

I am redoing it for the update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Keep the red red and make the other blue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yes!???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrispyCritter:
Hmm.. I personally liked the burnt red / orange tabs.. Don't get me wrong, blue is indeed one of my favorite colors, but I like a bit of other colors mixed in (in small doses).. reds, oranges, greens.. of course, that's just my personal opinion.

I've been a graphic designer for 12 years, and I've found that when one color is used too much in a single layout, the entire thing seems to become "over-saturated".. kind of pushing a design layout which was originally intended to be new and fresh into the "bland zone".

So again, I'd say your blue theme is really awesome Steve.. and your ROM is by far the most rock-solid one out there as far as stability goes. -- But I'd keep some other colors in there in small doses.. Just make said "other colors" with a bit of gray mixed in there to tone them down, so they don't stick out like a sore thumb.

Just my 2 cents, anyways.

Keep up the fantastic work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I definitely see your point and agree mostly. Green and Orange are not allowed.. haha.. so I will maybe go with some other shade.. still open to ideas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lancair360:
I say YES, absolutely yes. I especially like the blue clock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrispyCritter:
No Greens / Oranges? That's cool, man. Those were just some of my other faves.

perhaps some browns / tans? Believe it or not, brown is actually a complimentary color to blue. But again, when you mix the colors, you could mix a bit of gray into them so they are muted, as not to detract from the blue awesomeness. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Sounds like you know your stuff.. can you give me some hex coded colors that you think would be good..?

http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
I would prefer red for the "X" and blue for the "zZ". That would be more consistant with the dialer and vvm icons.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
So blue means more sleep and red means get your ass up! I think I will go with that. So when pjjohn can get to the icons, I just need to reopt several packages and then I will update.. maybe final? haha.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
lmao.. that's pretty much what i was thinking..

Looking forward to your update. I'm actually still on 1/29.. Been too busy lately the play.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Yes, but not right now. I am supposed to be sleeping. Woke up for a second and being the xda addict that I am I checked the forum. I may call in a vacation day in which case I will get it soonish, if I go to work it will be late.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I can see CrispyCritters point for other colors for just a bit of contrast. So maybe Euclids idea of a red x, would work really well. Still mostly blue, with a bit of contrast.

I'm personally still for mostly all blue. But a little red is nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Same here or keep the off slider red and the other blue

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
the darker shade of blue on the RIGHT tab is good. i think it should be that color for both :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
White on white text... I could put back in the standard market. This one is regulis inverted.
