strongsteve, i want to ask if i could use mobile oden to flash your rom to my phone? I currently dont own a pc & most of my friends that have 1 live to far for me to use they're pc so im stuck doing flashes from my phone. I am rooted with cwm installed on my phone using EL29 firmware.

thank you in advance for any response i receive back on this.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
OK, finally I can get back home on this ROM. Here's a few more pics of the XDA I just posted...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
You could download the Rom straight to your phone. Perhaps you already know this, but the risk of doing that is if you get a bad download and/or a bad flash, you could brick your phone and be unable to boot into recovery to restore with a Nandroid. I've done it and had to Odin back to stock/rooted on my pc to get up and running again. I haven't tried Mobil Odin. There's a few posts about it on sfhub's auto root thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Nice work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
Nice :D thanks for the wallpaper as well. Oh... And for the future icons ;) lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Gmail

alright... here is where I am finishing with gmail..

push both apk and odex to system/app and give me feedback
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Icons may be in the morning. Part of the problem of testing on 2 phones.. may have another modified wallpaper or 2 to share as well. ;). Can someone PLEASE see if the BinaryBlue icons show in Market? I swear they aren't showing again for me. Here's a funny named one though.... edit...do have a couple of more customized wallpapers to share. Tonight or tomorrow? Hmmmmm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Pretty sure you meant quiet in here. Yes it is. Nobody is posting to ask for help to fix something broken like on most of the other Rom threads because this one just flat out works. All the tweaking we do is to make our phones look purdy instead of fixing stuff that doesn't work right. Never thought I would love a phone this much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
John, starting to think you have a dirty mind...

First a sexy chick with blue hair. (like that, by the way)

Then a theme made by a company called BigDX

Now a theme called Blue Balls.

Hmmm LOL .. Just kidding of course :)

Yes I meant quite. hehe.

Yes, you are right, StrongSteve has given a solid ROM, so we can just have fun with it instead of fighting to fix things

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

You guys worked hard today, thanks for the goodies!

John C

Do you mind if I borrow your flash screen you have in XDA app, for my themed version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Anything I put in here can be used by anyone. I wish I could contribute more but I waste too much time flashing basically the same ICS ROMs on my Nexus and not enough time learning. Help yourself to anything I post. I put things here for all to enjoy. Tomorrow the icons, a few couple of customized wallpapers and then more learning and less Nexus flashing! Edit...as for the theme names...all while hunting for my BinaryBlue pack I paid for that constantly disappears on me. If anyone sees it, please post a Market link. Can't help but try to provide some humor around here as well..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
thanks, John

Yes, it is hard to find the time, to learn.. Good luck..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Oh, and she was feeling left out of the fun...and the other girl always keeps an eye on this thread too...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
LOL, funny... :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Updated my themed XDA Premium. Added few more blue icons, etc and also switched out my splash screen with John C's. Looks good.

I am not going to post the actual apk as it is a paid app. But I will post the icons that I themed.

If you have bought the XDA Premium app and want the themed icons, you need to use Root Explorer to copy the XDA apk from \data\app folder to your SDCard and from there to your computer. Then you can just take the linked icons in this post and push the icons into the XDA apk using 7Zip on your computer. The icons in the zip are in folders with the same name as they will need to be pushed in the apk. Then put the updated XDA apk to your SDCard and then push to \system\app. Might need to then reboot your phone. (UNINSTALL the existing XDA, before pushing the new one.) As an alternative to pushing it to \system\app you could just put it in StrongSteves ROM and flash the ROM.

Sorry, to make it difficult, but I don't want to create any issues, posting a paid app.

Posting a zip of Icon.zip and some screenshots of the app icons, spash screen and app screen.

PS: I would imagine most of these icons could be added to the free version also... Maybe I will download that version soon and theme it, so it can be posted.

Edit: As SS, pointed out to me the icons to the left of the stars, were 9png files and editing them messed them up a bit, I will try to learn how to properly edit them and fix them as soon as I have time to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
There's a new version of gmail in the Market
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
They must be looking for a couple devs with BIGDX and Blue Balls.

Well played sir! The strongsteve crew never sleeps!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Gmail.apk

Sorry.. Earlier, I had themed an older version of Gmail

This is the latest Gmail themed to my liking

Extract and push both apk and odex to system/app

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47814275/Gmail.zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tlc08071:
Thank you for the answer. I think I will wait for the mobile Oden flash then. I would assume you have much more knowlege with flash and if you had some trouble then ill wait till I learn more. Crappy part is I paid for the full version of mobile oden and still have a lot to learn about how to use it.

Lots of studying coming my way using my phone.

Thank you again,

TC
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Ok, here's a darkened up version of one of my favorite wallpapers the blue sphere as well as a modified cubes wallpaper with one blue cube leaving more black on the screen. Both help dock icons and Widgets pop a little more on the screen. Now to the icons...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
What are you using for those text icons?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Its an app called Simple Text. Its free and its uh...simple to do if you have the color code to match with. If you use the sliding color scale, its tough trying to eyeball it. You can customize top color as well as other things but I keep it Minimal....as usual
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Thank you kind sir!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
No problem. I guess you saved me some work by asking so thanks back you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
So far.. for the next update, I have..

Gmail - Many changes (give me feeback on how the colors look)

Galary - Some changes

YouTube - Some changes

framework-res.apk - some changes (pjjohn.. would you do the icons?)

Calculator - icons.. (pjjohn would you do those icons?)

Calendar - some changes

Framework-res - small changes

Planned.. make swype more contrasting

Anything else?

Make sure you guys download AdFree by BigTinCan to manage your adfree host file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Yes, I will do the icons for calc and YouTube.

Actually for YouTube I did the icons the other night (posted 5 or 6 pages back), but I will look it over more.

The latest Gmail, you posted... Is that based off the newest in the Market, which is asking me to update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yes.. the one that I posted this morning is themed Gmail 2.3.5.2 the latest version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Pushed the latest Gmail this morning and it looks terrific. Love the light blue showing on read items. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks Strongsteve. I think I will be staying home from work, so I will look at the calculator and fine tune YouTube
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Love this effin Rom whays really wierd is this is the only rom i dont have radio/signal issues..all the other roms i loose my signal or the radio just shuts off...very wierd..gettin my replacment in the mail tomorrow..and Yes im putting this rom on that phone....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Gmail looks very Nice StrongSteve
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Hmmm I'm still not using gmail app but i just might have all my e-mails forward to g-mail just to try it out =o. I'm flying back to NYC tomorrow so i'll just wait for the update it's packing time ;D!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
StrongSteve.

Emailed you updated Caclulator (Just icons), and YouTube I updated a lot, review and use what you want, if you like it, If not disregard it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Flying back to the cold and rain huh? Lol. Gotta add the Gmail myself. Edit...added YouTube and Gmail. Am I current now? I think I have everything here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
StrongSteve, here are the final edits, unless you want to change something.

I incorporated a lot from your and my version of YouTube, I think you will like it.

If anyone sees something they don't like, let StrongSteve or me know, asap and I am sure we can fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Paul.. outstanding job! I just got to make that red text blue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Almost done with YouTube

Edit..

I am attaching a FLASHABLE.. YES FLASHABLE ZIP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
So YouTube will be a seperate update from the ROM Update (gmail, clock, etc)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I just wanted to get the YouTube out there for testing before another full rom release.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carbajal3009:
thats looks nice strongsteve! :D keep up with that blue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Oh, that's cool, was just curious.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Lol yeah I<3NY although ive been up in edmonton, Canada so just flying back to rain. I might just move up here =D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Hey SS, I just realized that you wanted me to look at framework-res, sorry I missed that, or misread and thought you meant YouTube.

I will look at it if not too late

EDIT: I updated a crud load of icons in the Framework StrongSteve. They are emailed to you. Not sure if you want them all or not..... might want to look at them

EDIT: what apk is the Task Manager?

EDIT: TWframework also emailed Steve
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If you are using the blue and black XDA app and have green bars on left side, back out to forums, then enter ET4G forum and long press each favorite and select "mark as read" and green bars on left are gone..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks John
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah it works but as soon as someone posts again I believe they come back. I hope someone finds that to make blue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Yes I noticed that, I will look into it, but probably not tonight. Because when I do that I would also like to fix that 9.png icon to the left of the Star. Also I am looking at trying to do one more thing for Steve's update yet to night. But soon.. (If I can find it)

---------- Post added at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 AM ----------

Steve, I am going to be updating the JobManager.apk also, will have to you soon

EDIT: Emailed JobManager to you Steve
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
the calc with the dial-er look would be saweeet!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Not sure what you mean, you have a link?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
No link. I just think the calculator would look sweet with the same look as the numbers on the dialer. I'm in the middle of rom testing so I'm not on strongsteve right now or I would post a screen shot. I think you might understand what I'm saying now, though?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I agree. That would be nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donnyespo:
Looking forward to this next update, with all the new blue...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Everything is just about done that is going into this weekends update. Huge thanks to pjjohn73 for all his help once again! I just need to fix the contrast issue for word selection in Swype. I am going to be really busy today and tomorrow. Pjjohn.. do you want to see if you can do it? It should just be a straight up png hue change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I'm understanding what you mean now. That would be up to Strongsteve.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Well, strongsteve?? ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Sure will
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
I might try poking around with this guide, but pjj will probably beat me to it

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16492-how-to-theme-swype-beta-326-djdarkknights-way/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Strongsteve, why are you not a 'Recognized Developer'?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
That is an outstanding guide. I use all of these tools myself and would be glad to advise on their use. I want to update Saturday or Sunday as I will be busy tonight.. so if someone wants to take on the swype contrast issue, I can get this update done. I think this may be the final since rumors of an ICS leak are about.. plus, there aint much green left ;)

Make the calculator have smokey glass type buttons? Do you really want to do this..?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Haha.. I dont think I am a recognized anything. I used to be a recognized odexer before that script made childsplay of my work.. sigh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Psh now your a recognized odex/png optimizer =D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Don't be cutting you self short!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I'm good with Calc the way it is..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I do like the buttons on the dialer but I'm ok with the calculator as is, too. Sorry about the requests for last minute changes before a Rom update. I suspect an ICS leak from Samsung soon, too, but I doubt if I will leave this Rom behind. No doubt it will be buggy for awhile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Probably will be, I expect to be on this for awhile.

Still digging into swype for contrast issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Updating soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
I'm good with it as well. I'm just saying it would be pretty sweet...

There may be a script for odexing but there isn't a script for themeing or hard work and dedication
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Upate 2/17/12

Update is posted in OP

Updated 2/17/12:

Update includes aesthetic changes to the following:

TWframework-res, framework-res, Gmail, YouTube, Job Manager, Swype,

Calculator, Gallery3D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
It would be pretty sweet, lot in this update already
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Sure, you caught my typo in that pic hehe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
The lovely being.... since a new Swype beta just posted..... DJDarknight will be updating soon..... ish
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Figures there would be an updated version
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Glad I made a nandroid yesterday. Updating will be quick and easy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zeau2004:
I loving this new update...I love the way Gmail and YouTube looks!

Sent from a Galaxy far far away...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
Same here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
So coming from the previous version all i would need to do is wipe cache and delvic before flashing this right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yessir. Quick and painless. Edit .. A lot of people must be downloading right now because one hour on Fios? I downloaded that borked ICS v1 in 5 min with the masses trying at the same time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
Hey I got the new update but my messaging app doesnt look like that. Am I missing something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkuehn10:
I think that is Handcent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
LoL, thanks! I knew I wasn't crazy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
That's what my daughters mom says all the time. I wouldn't trust it :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am not sure why anyone uses the native sms over handcent ..?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Can the native sms be removed while installing handcent and are you moving handcent to system/app?

Edit: By the way what keyboard is that? It looks sweet!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You wouldn't want to disable or uninstall the native sms app.. just shut down all its notifications and set handcent as default. The keyboard is smart keyboard pro with the blue glow key skin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkuehn10:
I have Messaging frozen using TB and I use Handcent with no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallblazer124:
Since Steve recommended me to use handscent I have never gone back to the native messages. Handcent is much better. Steve have you ever tried thumb keyboard? If u did why do you prefer smart keyboard pro? My experience is that thumb keyboard with this rom has the best response no lag at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
What I love about smart keyboard pro is the you can set up frequently used phrases or sentences to just a character or two. For example .. In N Out Burger is "ino" I love you! Is just "zz"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallblazer124:
Lol. I am in Las Vegas right now and I am actually eating in and out burger for the first time in life. What a coincidence. Double cheeseburger animal style. This is the best burger I ever had in my life. Anyway can't wait to update to 2/17 version. No auto script can top your masterpiece.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
I just installed the newest version (I had been living on the january 8th one due to lack of time to update).

I love it, but I have one slight problem/question...

For some reason, the search button is not working in Go Launcher EX...

It works fine in Launcher Pro, ADW, and TW, just not Go.

I can hold it down and get the voice prompt, but a press doesn't bring up the search as it should.

Any thoughts?

Am I the only one this happens to?

Sent from me and my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] random45:
it works fine for me....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
So, apparently, removing the Google widget fixed it somehow...

:-P

Sent from me and my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Didn't think my phone could possibly get any better but it did again today. Then again, I've been saying that for about 4 updates now. Can't live without the pop-up with Hancent that turns the screen on when you get a text message. I've been using Flex T9 keyboard for awhile and I like it. It's like swype with better voice recognition. I'm going to check out the one SS recommended, though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Playing with that a bit. I like it a lot, but I love the word prediction with SwiftKey.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Its just not fair that everyone doesn't get to have In & Out Burgers. I still don't know why they don't expand. I have only been back east for 2 weeks and I am missing it already....lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Remove the google search widget from your home page. You can always put it back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
I ate Fat Burger up in edmonton, canada and it was amazing =} Kingburger with everything. =D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Steve could you teach me/point me to some good tutorials for making a rom/odexing? I want to take a stab at it for my mother's LG Esteem. =D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Well.. what are your goals for the rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Gtalk Users

Here is a better looking Gtalk for my rom..

It is flashable and you will like it a lot better.

feel free to add me sjkieffer at gmail.com

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47814275/GTALK_flashable_strongsteve-signed.zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
First to odex the framework and system/app folder. Then opt pngs. (Also to theme it to what she wants).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Steve you plan on moving up to ics when its fully working? I dont think i can move to ics if you dont put your magic on it man. =D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Here is what I am all about..

Everything has to work.. I mean EVERYTHING! I dont give a rats ass if you are not in a 4G area. 4G better work! I won't use CM, ASOP, or any of that crap unless EVERYTHING works. One singe force close throws it in the trash. One single strange anomaly throws it in the trash. I may never use GPS but once in a blue moon.. (and I do mean BLUE moon) but G** DAMMIT.. it better work perfect when I do go to use it. I think you guys get the idea :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Thats exactlly what i meant =D. (I just used GPS yesterday for the first time). Glad it was working. =D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lee714:
How should I flash this if I'm on calkulins 2.8.1 with el29, and Rogue Et Recovery 1.1.2?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Some make a nandroid backup, full wipe, flash ROM, then do an advanced nandroid restore of data.

I usually make nandroid backup and then use calkulins modified format (Modified_Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT_NODATA.zip) and then just flash ROM. The modified format leaves data intact.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Havent used modded format all but ill try it next release =D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tonio88:
Change path of the recovery option

Is there a way to change which recovery opens when using the recovery option from the power menu ? I am curions because I got the touch recovery through ROM manager and I really liked it, only problem is when I go to recovery from the power menu it goes back to the standard recovery. If not no big deal but if I could change it that would be awesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
U have to flash the kernel that has the touch recovery baked into it. It is the hitman kernel. Once u flash that then u will have the touch recovery but it will also change your kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Yeah ICS leaks won't work then. I flashed the fb17 today and its kinda buggy. No GPS, phone gets hot, LOS, can't send out more than two SMS at one time, etc. I could keep going. I restored my nand back to here. This rom is to stable to leave. ICS just isn't stable enough yet. I'll still keep it on my NS4G though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Correct. To elaborate a little more, you can't flash a new recovery with Rom manager on this phone therefore making RM pretty much useless. I used to use it to put labels on my Nandroid backups to keep them organized but couldn't get that feature to work on this phone either so I uninstalled it.The recovery has to be baked into the kernel like musclehead84 said.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tonio88:
I did notice that as well. I need to uninstall that since none of the main features work on the phone. Thanks for the elaboration.

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------

That worked. Only downside was it scrapped the start up animation but not the shutdown one. Ah well. Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
Has anyone flashed FB17 using mobile Odin? And what have been the results?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
I took your rom for a test drive a few revs ago. The theming isn't exactly to my personal preference, but I definitely saw the quality of your work.

Many can add hacks and mods to a rom; few can make everything work seemlessly as you have. I look forward to seeing your odexed work on the next os when the time comes. Thanks for representing perfection. :)
