Ok.. I have just started work on a rom that will be odexed, unthemed, and have the all in one AIO mod..

Look for it later in the general section.. I dont think I will be sleeping much more tonight.. haha.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] haxxorcist:
if you have them in your phone, it can be done quite easily using ES File Explorer (probably most file manager apps too). In ES you can just move all the files you want to include into a folder and long-press the folder. choose "compress(encrypt)" and click ok.

I do in fact have them all on my phone. I will make a blue folder and copy them there. Thanks for the tip. Oh and Nexus is **** on battery life.... just had to get that out. Sorry
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I have to say I have been happy with battery life on Epic Touch. Even with stock ROM I was happy. Compared to my original Epic 4G its great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
+1000. As I posted earlier I am on this phone a lot lately because I can flash strongsteve's and be perfect. OG Epic battery life was laughable compared to this phone. Well, at least I have the Epic to thank for my external charger and extra 2 stock Epic batteries to have so I can go days without a charger in a pinch. Scary part is the NS4G may be just as bad as first Epic on battery unless you luck into the right ROM/kernel combo. I am honestly getting burned out trying different setups on my Nexus...3 ICS ROMs a day. All virtually the same with one or 2 minor extra goodies Edit....I bet when we get a fully functional ICS ROM it will take a little while to get it to come close to matching this ROM. Its still at the eye candy stage IMO

I just tried to do an nandroid to a previous release, this has been done many times before. This time after reboot I got stuck in a bootloop as I pulled battery and manually tried to get into recovery with power/volume this time it went to odin mode and now says dowloading, do not turn off traget. Im afraid if i pull battery now ill be bricked. Has anyone experienced this? I have never used ODIN so no sure where this is comming from.

If someone just simply says "I don't care for your rom". That doesn't bother me in the least. However, when they make it sound like I haven't done much.. it pisses me off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
Hey SS,

Any word on the 'stock' status bar colors? I might be able to figure out how to recreate it myself if you'd like. I've been playing around with APK Multi-tool, which I've tested by extracting/expanding the framework-res.apk file.

Is it simply a replacement of the current images with the prior ones, recompile, re-sign, and push?

PS - I'm still using an older version of your Settings.apk/odex to preserve the lime-green power management widget; hopefuly that's ok (I haven't witnessed any issues yet).

Thx!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I feel for you buddy, but try to shrug it off. Not worth the stress. They don't understand. There is a reason we are on this ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I've been a long time ADW EX user but decided to give Go Launcher a whirl after the odexed version got posted before the 2/8 update. I remember it being more laggy than ADW but the odexed version runs pretty well. A few features I like a lot are the scrolling dock bar, the folder options, the Go Locker lockscreen options, and the Calendar widget. I applied the Steel Blue theme to the launcher which has custom blue icons for a crap load of apps and looks great on this Rom. There's a Steel Blue theme for the Go Widgets also. My phone is almost as pretty as my wife now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
The easiest way would be to decompile my custom framework-res and a stock framework-res.. swap out colors.xml and recompile.

Edit..

Don't swap.. manually change code for clock and status text since I changed all the other greens in there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If only they knew. I have tested at least 40 ROMs over the past year and you have spent more time tweaking and optimizing this ROM than any I have flashed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] haxxorcist:
vol up + power = clockwork

vol down + power = download mode

that warning is for when you have your phone plugged in via usb to a pc running odin. basically just saying not to unplug or power off while flashing. if you accidentally booted to download mode instead of cwm it should be safe to reboot by holding power button or pulling battery. if you can't get into cwm, you may have to use odin to flash a stock rom to get back up and running. qbking77 has great guides for how to do it, nothing to be scared of.

That would make sense with ODIN but when I try to reboot hold volume up and power I get the samsung boot over and over and over, never gets routed to recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
That looks pretty damn sweet!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You are holding volume up and power through 2 cycles of the "Galaxy S2" screen right? It flashes twice then goes to recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Agree...that's a good looking setup

So 185 leaves all the theming intact? Inverted market? The blue market iconon home screen? I love 160 and I use 6x6, but preventing evening issues might be worth me getting used to a new dpi.

I noticed Go seemed faster than ADW last time I tried. Might be worth the $.

No problem, glad you like the theming.

Not sure, about the pictures in contacts. Can look into later...

Sorry for the late reply but yes everything looks great at 185 and i am getting used to that density now after a few hours. My eyes are getting older and the 185 makes it a little easier to read.... and yes the blue market works also and the dialers look better too... at 190 it begins to degrade so i like where im at now. :D:D:D Not sure how you change it but I just edit build.prop in /system. the first time you change the line ro.sf.lcd_density=240 to your desired setting from 240 anywhere down to 160 using es file explorer and saving the file I then reboot the phone and the new density is set. When you go back into the /system folder there will be a backup file of your original build.prop. When i want stock setting i just rename the files so the one i want set is ran at the next reboot. Use caution when editing that file, and to be safe place a backup of the original file on your PC. There is also a Market app that will adjust the density and help with some other issues that arise from changing the setting...

---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 AM ----------

Downloaded and set up Go Launcher and even bought the blue steel theme (very nice). I really like how it feels a bit more snappy opening some apps with Go Launcher and it has all the themes, but it just does not seem to use the screen space as well for me as ADW. For example at first the widgets were a mess, but I found the check box to "make" the widgets fit. So after that it looked really good, except there is a bit of a dead space toward the top where the screen indicator is, that I don't like and I want the option to put 6 instead of 5 icons in the bottom tray.

Hmmm, probably just so used to ADW, that nothing else feels right now... so being very picky.

Its nice to have choices though. At any rate Go Launcher at this point is a close tie for me with ADW.

I used to use launcher Pro like a year ago. But it seems that they don't update it anymore.

.. and yes, I am rambling.. setting home bored... suppose I should go to bed

Have you tried out the LCD Resolution app?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am with you pjjohn. Go Launcher is so close now but since I stopped using LPP and went to ADW EX I still roll with it as my #1. There's a paid app pack that disappears and re-appears from Market (even though I paid for it) called BinaryBlue that looks great if you can find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks, I will have to try and find that pack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Its frustrating because i have to go to an older nandroid to find it. Somehow its not in my latest but looks like this...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I found it, its in the Market.

John, check this out. It don't look as nice, but look at the number of themed icons in the second screenshot. Wow

https://market.android.com/details?id=bigdx.adw.serenity.blue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Those both look good. The serenity theme comes with 40 blue wallpapers. I agree about the dead space at the top of the screen. I can't move my clock up as high on the homescreen as I would like. If you download themes you can rob individual icons out of them without applying the whole theme. I assume you already knew that but some might not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Steve,

I pushed to system/app and then rebooted the phone. My contacts app looks the same. Does it matter that i have like three different contact apps in that same folder from past updates?

EDIT: DISREGARD FIGURED IT OUT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Glad you figured it out.

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

I had the same problem, I put my clock/weather widget at the top of the page and that dead area kind of bothered me. I usually just keep one home page, so i was hoping to just disable the indicator and get back that screen space, but no luck.

Being able to gather the different icons from different themes is handy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I've dug up individual icon from the Internet for my home screen, so I don't need the themed one too much. And I'm pretty happy the ones Strongsteve has included.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
No I don't believe you. lol

Thank for changing that icon below the mail icon darker. I was going to maker darker also, when I had time.. Also the two arrows below probably could be. What you think?

Oh I like the line above toggles also. Edit: Actually when you have the toggles all the way right or left, then the "box" would not look complete, so I'm not sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
The line follows as the image is repeated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
I was thinking more about the blue overscroll would not be on one end or the other, making it look like a 3 sided box. Maybe I'm thinking wrong..

Looks good either way

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Was just playing around with the contacts icons (at the top of screen). Right now we have a dark shade of blue for the unselected icons and white for the selected. I tried a brighter blue for the selected icon that matched StrongSteves new android icon for contacts without a picture. Just curious what people thought. If they like the bright blue or more contrast with the white? What do you think StrongSteve?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That dark blue looks really good!! A nice blend of blues going on....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks..

Only bad thing is filling with the new color messes the icon up just slightly, probably not really noticable, but I would probably need to try and clean it up some. I think I like the bright blue a bit better than white also.

Was also thinking maybe keep the white for the selected one and make the unselected one that bright blue.. just so they all can be seen easier.

Anyhow just kind of messing around for my own personal use, and if StrongSteve likes any of it then I can send his way too.

Yes StrongSteve. Sure will. It will be later this afternoon though. I have to run out of town and help someone. So when I get home I will. I will also get in touch with you about Apk_Multi-Tool_Alpha_02 project.

Are you interested in the bright blue icons in place of the white for the icons at the top of contacts? The ones that are selected. I posted it a few posts back, at bottom of last page I think.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
The thing is that bucket filling tends to not look as good.. can we add some sepia and then adjust hue from there??

Edit: hmm forgot to copy odex, that must be it.

Also StrongSteve, do you mind if I change the deskclock time colors, much like you did the lockscreen, so that when on the cradle it will have a blue instead of yellow clock?

Edit all done StrongSteve. Unless you don't mind me doing the deskclock icons as mentioned, then I will need 10 more minutes

However you think it looks best. I still have to opt the new stuff so take your time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Will have very shortly, just need to test one more time. Added a few more items.

I might actually use it now. That yellow deskclock drove me nuts. Although might be to dark now (need to test yet). Hard to get the color/brightness you want with just sepia, saturation, etc.
