Happy happy birthday to you superstrongsteve!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
This is my favorite ROM officially. Thanks Steve and belated happy birthday. You share the same birthday as my phone now, FYI.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Happy bday bro. Thanks for tthe awesome rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Happy belated bday!!!

Sent from an Epic 4G Touch on BOosT Mobile !!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Thanks!!

I have been working on decompiling framework-res and changing the status bar text color to a nice light blue.. however, when I recompile and push back, it keeps force closing.

I have Madoggins permission to assimilate his TSM mod, however, it is for EL29.

So, for right now.. I am sorta floundering.. haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Happy belated Birthday Steve!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Decisions decisions huh? Stick with el13 or make the jump to 29? We still love you Steve, and your Odex goodness. And happy late bday!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
The thing is that my phone is running so great now.. speed is great, stability is great, color is great.. we have download option now.. all is right with the world..

but.. for the brief moment before the force closes when I changed the clock and status bar text color to a sky blue.. it looked freakin amazing..

so now.. I am obsessed with getting that working.. but I dont know what I am doing wrong. I know that the TSM mod would make all that customizable but it is a huge mod and if I use it, I might as well start all over. There are three jar files to it and odexing and assimilating them into this framework would be more difficult then starting over and odexing all of them together as a brand new framework.. anyways.. I am blabbing..

---------

Edit.. I have the MLK holiday coming up.. I may just sit down and crank out a whole new EL29 with TSM and all the goodies.. crud..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
:) Just do what you want Steve, I. Think I can safely speak for the rest of us, by saying we are very happy with it as it now stands. We know it would be a lot of work for you to start again. If I knew what to do I would help with the green to blue swap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Google Search

This app has updated. The good news is that there is no fugly orange frame to replace but the bad news is that it now resides deodexed in data/app. I am going to odex mine and replace the redundant copy in system/app.

Edit.. I take that back.. when you long press on the search box, it turns orange.. that is unexceptable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Someone call 911, Steve hasn't updated in 48 hours! Something must be wrong! lol :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Oh.. I definitely have some things in the works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ashevillemike:
+ 1 on this.

Also happy belated birthday Steve. Heck I haven't updated in a couple of weeks because mine is running so well!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Ok.. I have successfully changed status text and clock color..

COMING SOON
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Changelog 1/11

Blue status bar text/clock

Updated Google Search with orange box now blue

fixed dialer green

updated go launcher

ok.. Google search has to be added to data/app.. somehow they link together and you need both.. I will provide the data/app separate for that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erislover:
Steve,

Happy belated, bud! I'm sure it's just me, but I don't see the download link in the OP or anywhere else. Sorry I'm an idiot...but seriously, where is it???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
It says updating be back soon in the OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Google Search Box

The way this is going to work is that you just need to simply push to data/app

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47814275/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk

Orange colors have been made Blue

New link will be up soon.. I need all new screen shots in the OP since status bar text colors have changed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uofajac:
I can't seem to make the wallpaper on the home screen and lock screen look right. It looks stretched out. Is there a way to fix that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
That has been discussed. It is an EL13 bug. Change resolution to 1440x800
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uofajac:
Cool. Thx SS. What app does everyone use to change their screen resolution?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
send me a wallpaper you want to use as a lockscreen and I will stretch it for you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] uofajac:
Nevermind Steve. Figured it out. Thanks again man!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Feedback

ok.. I really need feedback..

Liking the blue status bar text or not??

Tell me when it gets to be too much.. I feel I have really learned the art of XML editing now and can really attack that green and more.. so let me know when this blue has gone to my brain and its too much.. haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
@Steve - Run with it man, lets see what you got cooking

Also, check your PM's :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OrygunGal:
Everything looks great as usual. Can the Google Search apk be installed via the package installer since it is going to data rather than system?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
not trying to give the transparent status bar a try yet ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cardenas5810:
First time the rom messes up on me....installed the new release and got a force close upon reboot. Then i couldn't make any phone calls.....what could be the problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Anyone else having glitches with YouTube app? It wont show my subscriptions and crashes when I play a video by qbking77. Odd....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Screen shot looks great. I just got home a bit a go and am going to download and flash. Sure I will love it.

Not sure if you can have too much blue. Blue (and black) all the way.

Edit: on a side note, the last few times I have had to restore from a nandroid I have been getting a md5 checksum error. I would have to go back to a eariler nandroid backup. I am not sure what is causing this. I had the Rogue Recovery on, not sure if that was it. Last night my sdcard died, so maybe it was corrupting it. Not sure. I am going to make my next nandroid backup with the CWM5 Recovery and hopefully will be good. Anyone else had this problem or heard of people having this problem? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I am seeing a problem with YouTube. I am going to revert back to a different version that is supposed to be compatible with our phone

Edit. YouTube.. I am seeing problems with it no matter what I do.. I need to try to nand back and see what could be causing it..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Ok Steve I've just had fc's with YouTube video with the YouTube app and trying to view it with the web browser also. The status bar changes look great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Its hot to be a YouTube issue. I have tried nands where it worked before and it still crashes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Same problem with youtube as everyone else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I did a fresh install of a stock rom and still had the YouTube problem so I doubt that it is the rom at this point..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I had an issue with youtube on calks ROM last night as well. Subscriptions were gone and it fc on any video I tried to play. Definitely an issue with YouTube and not your ROM.

It burns when I tapatalk...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tahde:
I'm running 1/8 and YouTube is running fine for me. Shall I flash the newest (planned on it anyway) and see if it works then nand back to 1/8 to see if I get same results?

Update: Just flashed 1/11. Soon as I got booted up I got FC on Google Map. Went into maps and it worked fine. Had me a street off tho (LOL), but I'm sure thats just nothing but getting my calibration right. Went to YouTube and played a random video. Worked with no problems at all. Picked a qbking77 video and I got a FC. Grabbed another video and it played just fine. Every other video I get a FC. lol.

Another update: I agree with the others on it being YouTube. I just went to YouTube on my NS4G and my Evo 3D to get the same results. Worked on random videos no problem. Went to qbking77 video again and got FC. Weird.........lol. Going back to 1/8 and see if it still works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Yeah YouTube is messed up on my nexus ad well as my epic touch. Definitely a YouTube issue and not the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
works fine on my phone

version 2.16, running Blend Rom right now..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Nexus S with the official ICS rom also fc's youtube (ICS) with *some* videos.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
The measure of fine would be if you can play the video in my op from the xda app on your phone.. if that works without a FC, then you are fine.. good luck with that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
why would you play it through the xda app?

I was able to play your video fine, in the native youtube app, with no fc's...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I can play some videos fine but trying to watch a video from the xda app fails every time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
sounds like the xda app has some issues with some video codecs...but, its weird that you can see some videos but not others...

Maybe it has to do with how they were natively recorded..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Well.. as long as its nothing that I need to fix, I dont care.. haha ! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkuehn10:
I just tried this using the xda premium app and it worked fine. Opened right up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
YouTube is officially fixed.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lbcary:
Im running the 1-8 release with the stock EL26 kernel repacked w/ CWM,and the EL29 modem. With this setup,and no overclocking, my quads,using Quadrant Standard,are usually between 3800-4200. I then tried going back to the stock EL13 kernel w CWM for a day and my quads dropped down to around 3000-3400. Next i tried the new EL29 kernel w/CWM for a day it had almost identical results as the EL26 kernel did with an average of about 4000.

After flashing a new kernel do i need to let it settle in for a day or two to get the best performance out of it? Ive noticed that after flashing roms their best performance is attained after a day or two. Which is why i was wondering if the same is true for kernels.

Bcuz i thought that the EL13 kernel gave me better quad results when i used it in the past. Is anyone currently using the EL13 kernel w/CWM getting quads around 3800-4200 using Quadrant Standard? Or do the EL26 and EL29 kernels give that much of a gain over EL13 when using Quadrant Standard?

I know that quads arent necessarily the best or only way to judge/test the performance of a device,but i just want to know what kind of results other users are getting. Again i never OC'd when running quad tests. Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Did Chris release an EL29 with cwm?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Can you send me a link to EL29/cwm kernel?

Looking real nice SteveStrong!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
no not yet. It doesn't look like he is. He usually releases it pretty fast.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
Steve I check Chris's site a couple times a day and he has yet to put anything up with EL29, no mention of its existance on his site. I'm running his ACS version of EL26 just because the ACS version does the advanced restore from internal correctly. He told me that was a bug with CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Yooooo!! Where in the hell is Corleone??!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I think we lost John to the DE-OPTIMIZED dalvik executable roms! haha..

Some people just get tired of blue.. hehe :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Think he is on Calk ROM, with Minimal Black & White theme.

I never get tired of blue :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
3g and 4g lettering is now gonna be light blue in status bar also
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Video player numbers are now light blue!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Nice.......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I will update this weekend with some more blue goodness.. I am digging into the XMLs right now.. those pesky numbers and such like that are on the video player
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Video Player

I am almost about done putting the finishing touches on the video player..

check it out..

I just gotta get the green out of that volume number
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iorecki:
Very nice...:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
StrongSteve..

I have a request if it is possible. I use the Clock app on the Epic Touch because I actually like the Dock Clock portion of it.

Would it be possible to change the white font text to a light blue and also when it goes into screen saver mode change the yellow text to a light blue?

I have been looking for dock clocks on the Market that would be able to change the colors, but actually like the one included with the phone better.

Could you look at doing this or give me some tips as to what I need to do?

Think I found the png files that need changed, just not sure what I have to do to change them and put the .apk back together and have it work again....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Ill take a look for this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Hows everything going steve? Just wanted to drop a line and say hi. Still loving your awesome rom. John said you are a weightlifter to so we would get along. That's awesome. Do you compete at all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yes! Add me on Facebook. I have a ton of gym pictures.. haha. Also, a video of me doing a bodybuilding show MANY years ago.. probably way before most of you guys were born.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Update 1-14

Link is posted in OP but I am not going to advertise other than this..

changes are big to video player (still green volume number) couldnt find

Status bar 3g and 4g icons blue

minor stuff in framework res and twframework res

backed off on the darkness for status bar text color.. clock is still same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cardenas5810:
nicee

did this update fix the isuuse off googlemaps foreclosing at reboot??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
That has never happened to me so probably no.. in your case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cardenas5810:
I rebooted my phone and that issue went away. Hopefully everything else is working great like your older releases!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
I think it was probably an isolated issue. SS is rock solid...and thanks for the update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
On my way back from Vegas....its my birthday today...is there a new update out? I did a weeks worth of theme testing for my friends (which has to be on Deodexed) . I will be home this evening and I will be flashing back to blue...or should I just restore my nandroid? Anything new? Probably a stupid question. Also, I finally finished moving...had no help. All solo...what a PITA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
Thanks Steve. you def belong here!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
That is also developing

Please don't say that you are not a developer. You are odexing apps that are not odexed and that is development as well. Do not let others opinion bother you.

How are you tunning yours?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
Using interactive and got it oc'd to 1. 4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I guess I will bite and test 1.6 on demand.....I always use on demand myself. It only uses the highest frequency when its,needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Here we go...SetCPU, on demand 1.6....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Damn that looks smooth
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Forgive me guys since you two helped me so much I have to post a few..thanks. any arrows or icons like in G-Talk are dark and light blue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nyflyguy:
I really like this rom. The only thing I would change is the boot animation. Does anyone know what folder it is located in so I can attempt to change it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I believe its system/media.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
This is why I like "on demand" it only grabs the power when needed and settles at lower state. I believe "interactive" is a bit more aggressive
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
We were worried about you Corleone :D thought we lost you to the bad people. Considering the topic JUST changed to 1/14 you just have to wait a bit and new version up!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Looks like he pulled a fast one on us. The update is already uploaded, and I was JUST getting ready to flash 11. I'm slow lol. 8 to 14 should be a nice changeup :D

So where's our changelog steve?!?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
That looks like thw WIFI icon...

Nevermind until I clicked on it only showed WIFI icon..

Looks good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
What is that toggle widget thing? And the SDcard/ram/battery widget thing? They look very nifty and useful!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You guys have to understand, I tested for everyone in the OG Epic community. Some of my themer friends wanted me to take a look at their work and I was happy to. As far as Deodexed, I think things peaked a few versions back. Its just a new tweak here, a new mod there. Battery seems to be going south on the new leaks unfortunately. I just got in, going to get my new SD card ready and DL. the strongsteve 1/14 JC BDAY edition. ...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Nothing wrong with helping others. Matter fact nothing wrong with playing with the other ROMs and Themes. I have been checking them out myself. Some very nice ones out there. I keep coming back to Odexed Blue. The speed is great, comparable to other ROMs I have tried running at 1.2Ghz. But more importantly I have not issues with this and IT IS BLUE BLUE BLUE. LOL, The more blue the better.

But anyhow, welcome back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Welcome back John ;D and happy bday lol.

Steve could you tell me what that widget up at the top with the picture is called? Or is that just a contact?

It'd called frame me.

I'm at In N Out Burger twice a week.. haha. Love that sh*t.

Thanks Steve and btw I noticed the 4g icon doesn't show in status bar on latest rom XD

EDIT: Never mind I rebooted and its back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
By the way steve, you left the stock swype lib in system/lib
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Ok.. I deleted it from future releases.. thanks for pointing that out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Not sure if I already posted this but here's the blue transparent XDA app. I believe you change view to light for transparent look

http://db.tt/n91lP4rZ
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
And the regular transparent XDA app. This one set to dark for transparent. Highlights are gray rather than blue....

http://db.tt/izE89rCz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Alarm Clock

I know this is trivial but which clock do you like better? The one in the current release or this one in the screenshot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Looks like the same blue that I have already. I like it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Status bar

How about this one.. status bar, clock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Final

Ok.. this is what I did! I combined the two!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
That looks good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Update coming

Pretty minor.. take it or leave it

Changes..

-removed unneeded lib .so file from previous swype

-new vibrate status bar icon

-changed to simpler voice mail status bar icon but blue

-sharpened up dropdown clear button both normal and pressed

-made status bar alarm clock image nicer

-made lockscreen numbers a very light shade of blue

-changed loading circles to standard gingerbread circles but BLUE

-minor image hue changes in both SystemUI and Framework-res
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mpcdata:
You don't happen to have a blue premium do ya?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks Steve.

Sorry I misunderstood stood you earlier. When you said clock, I was thinking the actual time not the clock icon. But the color you have chosen looks great.

Hi, I am stuck at splash screen after flashing a different rom, and can't get into recovery. I can get into the power/vol down screen which I think might be odin, but I have no idea what to do from there. I auto rooted so I am not familiar with Odin. Any Help would be appreciated. Thank You, Jen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
Basically, you put your phone into download mode (odin mode), hook it up to your pc, and run odin.

In odin, you download a known good Rom and go from there.

Unfortunately, I'm out and away from my pc, so I can't link to the relevant threads with more specifics.

That should, however, give you a starting point...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Use download mode to flash a stock rom tar. Look for threads by Sfhub. He has all the Odin stock roms. I would probably Odin ek02 or el13 then root and flash the rom again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Do what musclehead said. You will get a fresh clean system anyway
