[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbtrucking:
Ya thats what I figured, Honestly I really had absoluetly no idea how to get out of the situation I was in. If it wasnt for you guys I would have never been able to get back up and running! The only thing so far I know how to do is flash roms and root that is when everything is running as it should:) I have a big problem when it comes to this stuff. I get overly excited and I skip steps. This isnt the first time I messed up but it was the most severe. Last mess up was when I flashed a rom and thought I could get away with no factory reset/full wipe and I got nothing but system errors and reboots. One thing I have learned from all this is listen to the instructions and follow them to a T. One missed step can lead to disaster! Again thank you all for helping me out! I am SOO glad I found this forum!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Indeed, this forum has gotten me out of multiple jams as well, thanks to all the nice and experienced people here.

FYI, It is good policy that if you are updating your ROM (same ROM, but newer version - e.g. MIUI to a newer version of MIUI), a full wipe will be usually be unnecessary. (I would still wipe cache and dalvik cache, however) That said, sometimes a wipe is STILL necessary - just pay attention to what the ROM author says.

On the other hand, if you are going from one ROM to a

different

ROM (e.g. MIUI to CM7, or stock to whatever), then a full wipe is nearly ALWAYS necessary.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbtrucking:
Ya I couldnt agree more. A full wipe doesnt even really bother me because it doesnt get rid of anything on your sd card so you dont need to reload all your media. But even if ya did with Kies Air it is a walk in the park! Damn do I love my phone and soo glad it is ok! Its funny because today was the first time I actually really used Kies Air and it is soo amazing! You can text and everything from your computer! Damn, to think I could have lost all that if it wasnt for you fine people!!!

A Review of Theme ALIEN GLOW v.51 for Eclipse 2.0 + By Android.Ninja

First off let me say that there are alot of developers / themers out there and this in no way discredits anyones work. It is simply my review. ;)

ALIEN GLOW v.51 for Eclipse 2.0 + is a remarkable theme and once installed you can tell that time, care, and planning were put into place when this theme was born. The structure of the theme is evident right after a sucessfull install. Seeing the glowing green backgrounds, corners, borders, & dramatically glowing unlock screen icons almost illuminate an aroura of 3D effect.

The precision animations of "Flying Windows" give my X2 a new feeling , bringing every transistion and animation to life. The Framework, Moto, Blur, & System UI were themed immaculately giving the backbone of the structure a new lift.

The Keyboard is perfectly themed making it easily visible in all possible lighting situations.A perfect amount of aroura was supplied arround each character on the keyboard map, as not to distrurb the subtleness of the keys. This with the black background and green text, giver each character a clear neon glow.

The Contacts, Launcher, Calculator, and other various icons also deliver the same richness in the theme. Elegently delivering each tone of shade a radiant green glowing effect.

The font of choice is the Zerg system custom font. All I can say is "Well Done." This font is perfect for this theme. It gives you the alien type feel but delivers the crisp and raxor sharp image in each character and number displayed, that is sure to be the envy. It makes your X2 stand out, and that's no joke. :p

The dialer I think is my sencon favorite part of this well put together masterpiece. When incoming calls come, you get the full effect of the "glowing green on black" imaging this phone really deserves.

The Transistions of windows animitaions are just enought to bring new life to the X2. It doesn't overcome the phone or drown out the rest of the awesomeness this theme delivers. It's just enough to give a smooth transistion from the boring non animiation look of stock to the Area 51 precision that you will expect.

As for the install, It's the same as with any install. Pretty straight forward and to the point.

Screenshots are below. I give this theme a Android.Ninja Swords Up!

Much appreciated... u a writer or something .... that could of been written in the newspaper man

Quick heads up also... the RootzWiki apk is not working will fix asap
[Motorola Droid X2] Lubencw:
Hey Kevin..one quick question..I dont have the glowing keyboard///should I uninstall go keyboard flash eclipse again for fresh then the theme again?>
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
LoL Thanks

Nope, not a writer, (unless XDA needs one) :D A developer. But thanks!

It's a honest review of your theme. I have been developing for many years and while this is only my thoughts on the theme, I have a feeling that others will feel the same. Your theme work is excellent. Some of the best I have seen. Keep bringing it here, and I'll be glad to give it a review!

Truly good work!

I you are running the Keyboard supplied in Eclipse 2.0 + when you flash this theme it should overwrite and replace the keyboard.apk file. It wouldn't hurt to reflash. He also mentioned that you can wipe cache and Dalvik as an option. I would suggest this for sure. No need to wipe data, just the cache and Dalvik. Remember when you do this it may take a few seconds longer on the first boot however that will only happen once.

I installed this theme on the fisrt try, wiping cache and Dalvik and have had no problems at all. :)

[Motorola Droid X2] Lubencw:
Thanks...I'll try it in the am when I get to work...living what it is so far.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
Man guys, this looks unbelievable, any idea what will happen if I flash it over eclipse 1.3? Looks sooooo good I've been considering it. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Hi Mr_GreenJeans;

I wouldn't flash this over Eclipse 1.3.

You need to be on 2.3.5 running Eclipse 2.0 or above. If you flash on top of 1.3 you will get undesired results ending in a syncronus boot loop and will have to sbf to correct. The structure of 1.3. vs 2.0 and above will not match. This theme is designed only to run supported by Eclipse 2.0 or above.

When properly flashed on the correct version of Eclipse, this theme is fluid and impeccable. It will transform your X2 into a lean green alien machine with razor sharp imagery and astounding graphics.

Trust me.

[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
Honestly don't know if it would work. I do know that there some differences in the parts that we themed between Eclipse versions. Rotary lock screen is one of them. And i'm pretty sure nitro used the system apps from the 2.3.5 base rather than using the same exact apps. So I can't recommend flashing over 1.3. ( if you try it anyway let is know what happens).
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
+1

It will loop. The apk's build will not sync with the lower build. If it does it wont be stable and may produce unwanted results.

By the way. Excellent work you two.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
Thanks guys, after Christmas I will give it a go. Can't before then, need the phone for work and don't have the energy to mess with resting everything if it loops.
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
U will def.. loop all the apks are the same except,..... the 2 major ones framework res and system ui.... I know this because when I updated my other themes the only apks I needed to change were those 2

Sorry moto and blur res also
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Yep. Those two would definitely make a mix of things, lol.

I just can't get over the smoothness of the theme.

Hey guys......great job it looks freaking awesome...downloading now
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
Lol. I just realized that font is actually NOT called zerg. It's name is something totally different. I must have been half asleep when I told Kevin the name.

Zerg sounds cool though. (Must have been thinking about the zerg rush root script )
[Motorola Droid X2] roze658:
Nice work, great theme, what is up with rootz wiki not working.
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
Originally I thought it was something I did but come to find out RootzWiki is down.. it should work when the mobile app gets fixed
[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
lol. No problem. I listed it as Zerg font in my review but I think the name fits the style of the font perfectly. :)

In the Contacts if you choose a contact that has multiple numbers the location ie. work, home, etc. The lettering is white and hard to read. Is there anyway to adjust that?
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
I'm sure there is. I'll take s look at it.
[Motorola Droid X2] dkahs23:
It only happens if your contact is in your Favorites and instead of touching there name you touch the phone symbol and brings up a list of additional numbers.
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
Ok I made some changes that have made that text and most text in this theme to alien green... it will b in the next update
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
I'm testing Kevin's text updates right now. It easy to read now that its green.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
This would be cool in blue.....with no alien faces lol

Great looking theme! I really like everything but the text. How could I get the roboto font back?

[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
Overmind has flashable font pack for roboto. Check here. Maybe you can try that.

Or install Rom toolbox from the market. You can install fonts with that.

I don't know if I need to reflash stock 2.0.2, which is what I'm running, because I'm using all of zeppelinrox' scripts along with balltongue's build.prop mashup that I flashed because I have flashed themes without doing that before and had no problems. I'd rather wait for an answer than try it and find out for myself the hard way.

[Motorola Droid X2] Android.Ninja:
Maybe we can help. What is your question you referring to?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Hey buddy

Just make a nandroid before flashing the theme

You don't wipe data before flashing this so if it doesn't work correctly just power off and plug in an restore your nandroid
[Motorola Droid X2] Infantry667:
Well I know not to wipe data, that's if I'm flashing a rom, but I could just uninstall the scripts first. I would rather do that than reflashing rom, I've already for a recent backup to restore in BSR so I'm gonna try it. Hopefully it will be fine, it worked fine before with poison green on eclipse 1.3

I love this theme! There are mods a couple things I would like to see changed and/or fixed but overall its amazing. I will try a couple other themes but I think I'm going to stick with this one for a while.

What would you like to see fixed? And what would you like to see changed? We're open to suggestions.
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
I second that
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
And I vouch for their awesome support and use of suggestions :)

U guys rule. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] Lubencw:
Maybe more themed icons is all or the ability to remove the toggles. Other than that this is the sickest theme out there. Awesome works guys.
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
Which icons
[Motorola Droid X2] Lubencw:
Camera and Camcorder and xda would be sweet not to be greedy lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Infantry667:
Yeah I was gonna say camera as well, I would also like to see the power the power control widget themes so that the indicators are the glowing green instead of blue. Im using extended controls app right now but the widget it not as responsive as the stock one. Someone is making me an alienware boot animation with neon green real flames in its eyes, I'll send you the link to the original one so you can have an idea of what it'll look like and I'm gonna add a sound to it as well, its gonna be pretty sick. My sister does 3d art is also working on some sweet neon green boot logos/ splash screens for me so if you could include those with a new version of alien glow with instructions on how to flash boot logos/ splash screens that would be pretty awesome.

SBF'd (sent blazingly fast) from my Alienated X2
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yo thanks for reminding me

finally I can change my splash screen since I have a borrowed laptop...

This is gonna be awesome lol

I KNEW there was something else I wanted to change while I had this computer lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
Camera and camcorder 99% done
[Motorola Droid X2] Lubencw:
SWEET!!!! cant wait to start flashing ...the phone that is.
[Motorola Droid X2] mrf582:
How do I switch the font back to the stock Eclipse font?
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
Gotta check with Hedwig there is a font pack in the zip... maybe on our next release we will have a stock font pack
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
I'm finishing up a couple things and will probably post version 1.0 shortly.

I was planning on making a flashable zip available that will put the stock font back int.

And another zip that will remove the toggles. I saw that somebody was asking about a no-toggle version.
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
Bump for:

Alien Glow v1.0

Get it here in post #4 of this thread.

Also included are extra flashable mods to:

Restore the original Eclipse font

Remove the pulldown toggles

So let us know what you think.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lubencw:
Going to try this later today..thanks guys
[Motorola Droid X2] Lubencw:
No toggles ...love it! Thanks guys!

Just my opinion...Hell...I think sbf is fun...and.I've done.it a LOT lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Infantry667:
Oh its fun and I.probably need to do it to start fresh but I just got my phone set up the way I want it. I'll probably do it tomorrow once I get tibu to work right. I'm having issues because of the build.prop mashup and such so I wanna start from scratch but we'll see.

SBF'd (sent blazingly fast) from my Alienated X2
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
For tit backup issue

Try moving the titanium folder from one sdcard to the other...reboot and try again

Also...if set up how you want...just nandroid backup...then you will have that exact set up to be able to restore if u want it back....

And you don't wipe data when flashing a theme.

Just flash it.

U won't lose anything.

If u already have alien theme running just flash new one on top.

Make a nandroid backup first in case you want to go back...but you won't lose any apps or data...
[Motorola Droid X2] Infantry667:
Well OP said you have to be on stock eclipse and a couple comments down I believe he also said that flashing it on top can cause bootloops. Last time I tried using tibu was before I flashed eclipse 2.0.2 and the sd card flip flop that 2.0.2 uses messed up my tibu files and I couldn't recover my apps. I'll just android now and try flashing it on top of alien glow v .5. Can't hurt to try as long as I have a android I guess.

SBF'd (sent blazingly fast) from my Alienated X2
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
U can def. Flash on top of. 5
[Motorola Droid X2] Infantry667:
Muy bueno, thanks for the quick reply :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Infantry667:
Just flashed 1.0 and no camera, did I not read something?
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
Infantry try reflashing stock eclipse then 1.0 alien... when I or Hedwig get time we will find the problem
[Motorola Droid X2] Infantry667:
I made a nandroid when I was on stock eclipse, can I just restore that?
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
I actually had this exact issue that you are having but at the time thought it was because I was flashing over the aosp camera. I also had a stock eclipse nandroid backup. I flashed back to that eclipse nandroid then installed alien glow 1.0 and the camera worked. I've have an idea or two of what the issue may be but haven't had time to test anything out yet. I hope this method will work for you.
[Motorola Droid X2] Infantry667:
Trying it now :)
[Motorola Droid X2] mountainmanxl:
looks so good im about to revert back to Eclipse (currently running Molten); cant wait to try it!
[Motorola Droid X2] Goondan9:
Don't do what I did LOL
