Lololol....I was hoping you might say that...Ninjamorph finally failed me once and I need another lesson on changing images. Inverted VVM looks great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ARH2001:
Steve, I have an all blue home screen with the exception of the market app. I like the TW launcher. Is there anyway to make the market app blue? Is it fairly easy for a noob like myself?? Also a big thank you for sharing this ROM, im loving the blue and running 1.4 ghz.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yes.. changing that will be easy.. I will do it for you tomorrow.. gotta call it a night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ARH2001:
Thanks again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Thanks strongsteve. I can see in my head what the next update will look like already. Inverted VVM icon, blue and white Market icon and the blue swipe sliders in Contacts ...perfection
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OrygunGal:
strongsteve, the AIO mod has been updated in the themes forum and crawrj now includes oxed versions. If one were to flash the odexed AIO with NoCIQ over this ROM, what might change on your cool looking theme and already included mods? TIA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Damn, I must have been really behind checking my PMs. I was supposed to test this for crawrj and he already released it? I owe someone an apology.

GPS

How fast does the gps connect after the update? Mine was taking a little longer than usual and I travel a lot so I switched roms. Other than that, it's a great rom and I just need the gps to find me quicker.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Interesting, things seem to be getting faster with time. 1st pic is not overclocked at all and 2nd pic is Ninjamorphed a little bit...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
NICE!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrpickem:
Any plans to Odex the EK02 release anytime soon?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Been giving that some thought .. can ciq be removed yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrpickem:
I haven't seen anything with it removed yet, but I'm sure it will be soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I think I am going to wait until the big three mods are compatible with it first..

In the meantime, I am working on fully theming the Sprint Visual Voicemail and Market apps. Also, I am definitely going to add the additional power options. I need to trick out the phone/contacts a little more too. Also, some of the menu images need some tweaking..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sturmie:
Killer...I'd really like to have the option to boot into Recovery :).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Sounds like a great plan. It took quite a bit of trial and error just for me to change one icon much less the inside of the app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I have so many framwork-res.apk both compiled and decompiled as well as SystemUI.apks and framework.jars compiled and decompiled on my desktop that I have lost track of what is what...

Time to throw everything in the rycycle bin and start over :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I have been there (but with test versions of ROMs and kernels) and that's frustrating but its better to play it safe. Thanks for keeping us updated though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
What is the consensus on the lock mod? It might be kind of neat but I understand there may be stability issues.. opionions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
My vote would be a flashable add-on or not have it. I have been using Widget Locker myself and I wouldn't want to sacrifice stability but that's just my opinion ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I have been trying to blend in the framework jars that go with that mod by odexing them and copying over the bootpathclass signatures..

getting bootloops so I might abandon that for now anyway.. sigh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jase1783:
Hey Steve, again great work on all ya have done. Quick question though. The zimage located in the lasted themed rom you have uploaded.

Is this a ...

1.Kernel?

2.Rom?

3.Modem?

Or all the above. Basicy what does your setting/about phone screen show.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gene_Bailey:
Umm.. holy crap. I just experienced a minor LOS for the second time today...

If you look at the bars.. they were like that for about five minutes. Then it turned into a red circle with a slash through it and then showed two bars. It wouldn't refresh gmail or anything tho. Texts wouldn't send and neither would emails. I had to reboot to get signal back. That makes me sad face .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Holy crap! We may need to go back to the other zImage. You should upgrade your modem if you havent done so before.. Damn it all!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wait, that's what I get when I go to my known dead spot and mine instantly reconnects...EG31 modem and included kernel. I can reproduce it at will and it doesn't require a reboot here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gene_Bailey:
The thing is, I have a steady three bars in my house, and an easy four to five outside it. There are no dead spots, and I've been home all day. And yes Strongsteve I'm using the latest update that has everythjng packaged in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yeah.. same here. I made that damn red circle big and obvious.. haha..

EG31 modem and EK02 stock kernel and I have gotten the red circle in dead zones and then reconected. Hopefully, it wont happen again to Gene. I would upgrade the modem for sure tho..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I believe you for sure.. The rom doesnt have the modem "packaged" in. I would Odin the EK02 modem if I were you for sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Which modem are you on Gene? I just tested mine in the dead spot and instant reconnection. Maybe it has to do with the length of time without signal. Your post actually encouraged me that I am on the right modem because I have never had to reboot after my dead spot tests.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Gene - Odin the EK02 modem. Its in one of the stickies. I believe that it is supposed to be the holy grail of LoS fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
The zImage is the kernel w/recovery. The modem is completely independent of the ROM package. This ROM is 2.3.4 and the current kernel is stock EK02. I, personally, am on baseband EG31, however.. if you personally never flashed to that baseband, you should be on baseband EG30

I hope that helps..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, if you are on EG30 Gene, try EK02 first because you can always go back to EG31 but I can definitely say mine reconnects without a reboot on EG31
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] distantneighbor:
what if I do not have the eko2 modem? can i still use this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yessir. I don't have that modem. I don't think strongsteve does either
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Updating.. back soon..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OrygunGal:
I didn't see an answer to this...please and thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
It would actually change just about everything..

The blue would be gone and that theme would be in place.

On a side note..

I successfully transferred android.policy.jar with the reboot options.. odexed it.. and transferred signatures for this framework..

Also, the images are in place in framework-res

The menu shows the options, however reboot and reboot recovery just hot restart the phone in a panic state..

What have I not done?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
Steve sorry to hijack this thread for a second but a question for you. I saw you did a odexed version of the blazer rom. would you be up for doing one on caulks rom? or is there some kind of walk through you could point me to that would show me how to do it myself. dont want to make extra work for you but seeing as how odexed is faster i thought it would be great to try. still waiting on the ics theme to be ported over but if doing the odexing myself i could or i think i can get the rom to where i want i want it run the odex program right? sorry if this makes no sense.

thanks a lot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Yeah.. I have been wanting to odex calks rom and give it a try..

just a few things he does that I dont care for tho but I would be glad to do it if it was ok with him. He moves dalvik and does a few other things, however..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gene_Bailey:
Will do. I'll try and find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
Sweet thanks. I'll check with him and report back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gene_Bailey:
Sorry to ask a stupid question but I don't see it in the OP, what modem are we using currently. The EG30? Or 31?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
That's a tough question. But is irrelevant to using this rom. Could be anything. eg12 eg30 eg31 or ek02
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Go into settings/about phone and check your baseband version. This ROM came with EK02 kernel and (I believe) is based off original build. Only a full stock tar would change your modem unless you flashed one in Odin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
Linky no work for me already.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The inverted app pack fits this ROM's theme perfectly strongsteve and makes your job easier. I did change the icons in G-Talk to dark blue for online and light blue for away...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
No update tonight.. sorry guys.. I hit a brick wall on something.

Also, I think I am gonna start working on the EK02
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
John.. I like that.. gonna odex them
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
v3 was released 2 days ago if you don't have it already. Please let me know when you odex them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gene_Bailey:
No disrespect intended but to my knowledge from the reading I've done it does make a difference cause, from what I've read, the only way to go to EK02 is if you're on EG30 and or EG12. If you're on 31 you're out of luck. That's the only reason I was curious. I assumed EG30 as Strongsteve himself said that he updated his modem, but I wanted to verify before doing something potentially risky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
just did it and loving it.. that market will be in my next update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kostov22:
hey guys...is it just me or the download link isnt working...i know i am waiting till it's active..cause i want to try it...thanks Dev..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
not working for me either with google chrome

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

this is what I'm directed to "Oops! Google Chrome could not find i need your help.. i am trying to add the extended power options (reboot, reboot recovery) i swapped out android.policy.jar and have the necessary images in framework-res the options then show up in the power menu but reboot and reboot recovery both just hot restart the phone.. what else can i try"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The update is temporarily on hold because strongsteve wants to add a few more goodies. The last version is not working? 11/29? If not, it wont be available until most likely tomorrow. I don't have a site to upload to myself
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kostov22:
Thanks man.. yeah. I'll definitely check.. I want to try it bad... I'm kinda missing my miui on my evo 4g but the e4gt is another beast entirely.. thank you guys for your work...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
This is all strongsteve here. I just tossed out a few theme add on ideas. I know it will be back up tomorrow. Strongsteve is really on top of things with updates and thread support
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gene_Bailey:
this is true. He answers every question. Period. By the way Strongsteve I flashed that new modem and when I rebooted I had bars but no 3G service. So I rebooted back into recovery, flashed again, and voila, great service! Thanks man!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
My plan was to update with the power options, themed VVM, and blue inverted market and gtalk. A few other things too.. I ran into a snag adding the power options so it will be tomorrow before I get it done.

ciq checker

has any1 tried running Voodoo Carrier IQ detector(by supercurio - Project Voodoo) on this rom?

i know the app is pretty new and the scores are not reliable atm, but my detection score is 270.

what kinda scores are you guys getting?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Can you post a link to that app.. I want to see what I get..

That damn CIQ has parts everywhere I am afraid. I do know this tho.. nothing is being sent out to them from my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
I've got a 70.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
Sure. I was going to include the link in the initial post but wasn't sure if i'd get in trouble for linking stuff

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.simplecarrieriqdetector

there is also an app called "Logging TestApp"

i got this info from a post in the general forums by HaiKaiDo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
:( dagger you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
I'm assuming that's good?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Huh, I got a 70 as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I got a 70 too..

70 is actually a great score. The thing is that libiq_client.so is located in system/lib. Without it, the phone won't boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I tried running the paid version of TrevE's Logging Test App on my stock rom. It said it successfully removed CIQ and told me to reboot. When I did, it wouldn't boot past the black GS2 screen. It must have also deleted the file you referred to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I don't think one person has gotten the phone to successfully reboot after running that on this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I have safely deleted that other bin file.. so now there is just that one lib file that has to remain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I thought it was something along lines. I knew 70 was a great score though. Edit....nice strongsteve!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Do you guys like this inverted blue market?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
got a mirror steve? download link still isn't working for me :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You know my thoughts on it already. Question though..if you search for an app that's not in "My Apps" and try to install it, is it freezing on you at all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
No freezing at all.. working great! of course.. mine is odexed ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Crap.. there is a mirror on Multiupload but my work blocks it.. can someone find a link to the 11-29 multiupload mirror?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
in re: reversed Market: I'm generally a fan of anything with dark background as it's easier on the eyes and uses less battery. But for some reason, in some apps (like e.g., email) I prefer the lighter background. Not sure why, I think it has more to do with how the non 'black/white' objects display (i.e., everything that's NOT in the background). In this case, at least for the screen shown, Market looks fine inverted.

Anyway, stop wasting time reading my response and get back to work! ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Link down for update.. back soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
ok guys.. go to

SystemUI.apk to res/drawable-hdpi and swap in the following icons
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
This is great work Steve.

This will probably sound totally newb but I have too ask. I have been totally stock with this phone since I got it as I worried I would somehow run into LoS if I tried anything and I have never run into this issue.

So I'm wondering... is this a safe route to go? I really just want root and to be able to use tether and customize some aesthetics as you have done so well. I do not want other kernels just the stock I am currently using as this seems to be the source for most LoS...

Am I right in my thinking with this ROM as a good option to my use and staying "stock" kernel?

Thanks for anyone's time. It is much appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
That is exactly why I repackaged the rom with a "pulled" kernel. I personally never have experienced LOS with a pulled kernel, however, I have many times with a "source" kernel. YMMV.. however.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
See, it was driving me nuts that I couldn't flash the theme then put the pulled stock kernel on it. I bought pro version of Ninjamorph so I can change apk colors too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You should reflash, John.. the dialer change is exactly what you wanted. ;)

Also, I find it safer and almost as easy to just manually change images.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Also.. its fun to use paint.net to manipulate PNG graphics!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
Awesome. Thanks a lot for the input and hard work steve. I appreciate it!

I will be trying this out later this AM.

Also another newbish queston... So there is no real way to backup/save my phone exactly as it is now in case of disaster? (as I mentioned completely stock with just GO EX launcher installed) Although it doesn't sound as if I should anticipate it.

Thanks again for everything. Appreciate you taking the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
If you do not have CWM already running, then no.. you can't back up.

There are, however, threads that show you how to return to completely stock again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] the rhyno:
Yes Post 69!!!!!!!!!

This looks promising. Can't wait to get mine. 5 days and counting!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
I love the rom. But I just couldn't stand having the rom lag during what looked like internal storage access.

I think all custom kernels have this, including lostkernel and "stock" with cwm.

I tried flashing stock pulled from bubby, but that broke wifi.

So, I'm back to stock rom until it's possible to run a completely stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Do a factory reset in recovery, redownload, and reflash. I repacked it with a stock pulled kernel. ("pulled" being the key term here)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Thanks, but can I avoid using factory reset? I really like the theme, but it's not worth it for me to lose all my settings and spend another hour to set up stuff just to get the hotspot hack functionality (I have pretty much everything else, including your own remove ciq hack, thanks). And I never even use hotspot (would be nice to have it though.)

I flashed the very first version of this rom right on top of my stock+root+mods, and it was working great. Except for those occasional lags I mentioned in an earlier post...

Also, can I just push necessary files from /system or something?

I imagine I will need at least framework-res.apk, framework.jar, systemui.apk, and probably some other themed apks...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
umm.. I would definitely recommend a full wipe and reflash. With titanium backup, it takes me about 30 minutes to reset things. The problem with framework jars is that the signitures have to match the bootpath so its tough thing to just swap odexed jar files..

My rom is running amazingly smooth on my phone but if you need to go back to your other rom, you will not be able to swap jar files from this rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
which CWM

Hi Steve,

Which CWM would you suggest we use for flashing this? I understand that your rom will replace which ever one I install, but to begin I will need one to wipe very thing right? Also I generally format cache,system,data and then Wipe Data and Factory Reset and Wipe Cache and then Wipe Dalvik cache. Let me know if I should change the method in any way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
You can flash from any version of CWM but some of the early versions only let you flash from SD card so you may need to put it there. Full wipe is definitely recommended.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
This is the dilemma I mentioned earlier. If you go to any kernel with CWM then back to stock, it borks Wifi and my 4G will not reconnect at all. I tried all of the versions but I had to Odin crawrj's Odexed with Busybox and root every time to fix my 4G. I tried CWM4 and the versions including CWM5 if I flash something I can't go back to stock kernel. I was able to use the CWM4 version to flash the battery mod + 1% battery mod then back to stock. Tried every way with with this theme and plan on trying again here shortly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I just added directions for kernel issues in the OP.. Let me know..?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stayfitted:
Best Rom out IMO

Giving you mad props as I had tried a couple of roms. With this being Odex it's definitely snappier and quicker. No lag, freezing or any of that mess. Wiped everything, used Titanium backup and everything is back the way it was. I have not seen LOS one time knock on wood.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Updating status bar 4G icons to more blue..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
You should make a version closer to stock theme, just my preference but nice work definitely like the odexed part.

I just updated the rom and thought... he can't make it any better. I will run with this until I get rid of the phone when a quadcore phone comes out... Oh well...

At this rate, I'll have to check with Steve to see what phone he gets next to follow him to that phone to get his rom for that phone too... LOL

Rock on man!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallblazer124:
What does this have to do with his ROM? Sounds like a Hijack. Anyway the answer is your are missing something. Hit Applications/ settings/view type/ customizable Grid/ and from there you can drag and replace the botom icons with any app you want. Have fun.
