[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] clonednull:
Hi guys,

Inspired by the stunning ICS Domination Theme created by Vertumus and addicted to the Blood Mode i started theming my every-day-use Apps to Red.

As first App i have chosen ES File Explorer (by EStrongs Inc.), its a free app and a pretty handy explorer.

(Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop)

Maybe someone else also likes the Red Touch so im happy to share the modded APK with the community.

Installation Notice:

Uninstall your previous version of the ES File Explorer before installing this one!

Have Fun and keep on modding! :cool:

2012-02-28 - Updated to Version 1.6.1.2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SPACE ALIEN:
WoooooooooooooooooW

WoooooooooooooooooW man !!!!

Exactly what i was lookin' for !!!

Just have to install the apk, or have to push it in system/app?

THANX BUTTON PUSHED :D

Waitin' for your answer, thanx again my friend ! Great work !!!

:):):)

EDIT

DONE ! just installed the apk. JUST SPLENDIIIIIIIID !!! I love it man!

Pretty pretty pretty job!!!

Would you be agree for me to share YOUR link in my thread, please...?

Thanx in advance,

PS: Works perfectly on ICS 4.0.3 !!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] clonednull:
Just install it as usual. (remember to uninstall your previous version of es file explorer)

Edit:

Nice to hear you like it mate. Share it wherever you like :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck:
the mistake you made here is a big one. You themed the apk instead of making a flashable themed .zip.

so now people have to delete their app to install yours... and when a new version of that app comes out and they update, it will all get back to default, and you will have to edit a new apk on and on and on... waste of time :D

instead make a vrtheme zip that people can flash , that will be universal, i.e you won't have to theme it for each update, just once :)

hope i made sense :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] clonednull:
You are right about the VRTheme script mate and its the "common theming procedure" but how can someone without cwm install the theme?

With a fully apk file you are able to install it on a stock phone.

(as side note i have noticed that some png sizes changed from the last es file explorer version to the newest so the cwm zip would also needs to be readjusted when this happens or am i wrong?)

anyway thanks a lot for all advices, allways learning here :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck:
I get what you mean mate but see it this way :D

If a person doesn't have CWM, then they can't flash Vert's theme anyway,especially not the Blood Mode.

And I doubt anyone would want a red app that stands out from the rest of the theme for that matter :) ( though I may be wrong :D )

Anyway, it was just an advice mate :D

PS. File sizes are not important, changing a .png name or something would make it unusable. So once a new version comes out, you just have to check if the file structure is the same, if it is, then you have nothing to do, if it is not, you just add new edited pngs to the zip, make it a new version and upload :) Fast and reliable :)

Great job on theming the app there :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] clonednull:
Youre again right with CWM and Verts theme + Blood Mode but as you allready mentioned maybe someone wants a red explorer anyway :)

I appreciative your advice about VRTheming and will try to get more knowlegde about it (thx for pm).

As for file size, i think i have used the wrong words.

I didnt meant the "file size on storage", i meant the image dimensions. When they change i will for sure have to addopt the VRTheme flash file or otherwise the app page layout can get deformed..?

Thanks and regards
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck:
Oh yes, that can be a serious problem, didn't quite understand you the first time :D

But again, it's just a few edits, shouldn't be too hard to fix if it comes to that :D

Happy theming :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] fatjivi:
nice job mate!!like i already said its great and going well with master verts blood theme!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] clonednull:
happy you like it mate and thanks for your testing support!

ps: hope you will get your toy back soon! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ivandelrosario:
thanks! i love red themes!

but i think grandmaster is right, i think it would be easier for you to just create a cwm-flashable theme and just edit that if future versions of es explorer comes, instead of editing an entire apk.

and for the user's point of view, it would be easier for them as they wont have to uninstall and reinstall, and then again configure their own settings for the app.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheshnag:
I have been using MIUI-XJ for a short period of time. I got notification that the ROM has an update and I tried to do so using the inbuilt updater. However the update gets blocked by Clockwork Recovery - Signature not verified? What is this issue about? Is there a way to get around it or am I better off not doing the update?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
just go into recovery an flash the update manualy. install zip from sd card -choose the update from the downloaded_rom folder. and if he gives the same error just toggle signature verification OFF in recovery and flash again.

hope this helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheshnag:
Thank you - will try this out.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheshnag:
It works!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Offcourse ;-)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FaintPuppet:
I was trying to flash 3e recovery or whatever and ClockWork Mod and seemed to have almost no luck until I finally decided I'd plug my phone in to the computer after shutting it off. I then held the volume keys and power button to try to get into recovery, but then I got taken to a warning screen I guess telling me about flashing custom OS and it said to press the volume up key to continue or volume down to reboot, so I pressed volume up and now my screen says "downloading..." with a droid shoveling stuff and the bottom says "Do not turn off Target!!!" It's been like this for a while... what is it trying to do? Did I do something wrong or what?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerrycoffman45:
you put your phone in download mode if you are not trying to odin back to stock or hemdaling one of the leaks just unplug your phone from your computer hold the volume up button and power button till your phone reboots
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FaintPuppet:
Alright I got out of that, but now my phone just says "Samsung". If I hold the volume up + down + power buttons, the screen will black out and "Samsung" will pop up again, but nothing happens. Am I bricked or something? I'm new to this. I just got my Infuse like two hours ago.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerrycoffman45:
just hold the volume up button and power button once the phone goes black release them if it is stuck on the samsung screen you are soft bricked go to the infuse super thread and look for gtg ultimate unbrick download it and read instructions in the op

edit: i use the first one in the thread that will also give you root plus mod 3e recovery if you want to do custom roms there are some good posts just do a search
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FaintPuppet:
Yeah I found that thread in case something like this happened before-hand and got it to work again. Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerrycoffman45:
your welcome there is a very good guide right below this post it is very hard to brick this phone for roms i would recomend zeus it is quick and stable
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FaintPuppet:
That's what I'm going for. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerrycoffman45:
glad i could help i remember that panicy feeling the first time i soft bricked my phone you will like zues there are alot of themes for it too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nutzzer:
I had to take my case off today and held the phone naked and forgot how freakin awesome it feels without a case.

I might just go raw dogs on this phone for a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nfrederick:
Good screen protector is all that's needed unless you work outside for a living.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrNineties:
Agreed. SGP is working well for me.

- 90's
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I agree. I have a screen protector on the front and I will be getting a vinyl skin soon to protect the back. I always thought cases personally made the phone look uglier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nutzzer:
I understand the purpose of it, since the phone is at least a 2yr commitment, but damn, I can't stop touching this phone again after taking the cover off. And I had a thin drizonic tpu case too....

Fack it, no case for you...thats y I have insurance right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] True2TheGame:
i've gone caseless and haven't looked back, now i have 2 useless TPU cases just laying around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aridon:
I like my phone like I like my wife. Naked. No case, except for my belt one and no screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NICEGYPT:
The thing is cases will be effect on the future, I mean when u try to sell ur phone and get a good price. So I believe on the screen protector and cases. My phone on the way and already have the case and the screen protector ready :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dev/null/:
I've been going around without protection since I got it. It feels better and imo looks better. I don't even have a screen protector and I haven't suffered a single scratch (knock on wood). I haven't been overly careful with the phone either I keep it in my pocket allot I fall asleep with it and roll around all night and I leave the thing just about everywhere and it's dropped a few times onto hard surfaces.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] test4echo:
Yea I agree with all the above except that all its takes is one fumble and your phone is toast....

I don't care much about scratches or looks. I want my GNEX to last. I've already dropped it once and can't image what would have happened without my otterbox.

I don't feel like treating my 700 gnex like a baby so I feel much better when using my case even if it is uglier and more bulky.

Test,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big samm:
I knoowwww!! I took of my Gnex out of the case to clean it , and god this phone is soo slim and sexy. if Samsung could just use less plastic on their phones

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LocoTSX:
I know what you mean. So sexy naked but I just can't afford to rock it that way. I have the incipio dual case and I love it. Very slim. The one thing I do not like about the case is all of the lint it contracts on a daily basis.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shayes784:
True. At least with my DX I could drop it and it would still be OK.

But alas, I hate cases, so no case or screen protector for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] test4echo:
Hey believe me, I'd much rather use it without the case!

I just don't trust that it could take a fall from 3 feet without one.

The screen may not crack or break or even get scratched but the innards are my concern.

To me its like traveling with a Gibson Les Paul without a case...lol

Test,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Get a Ringke Slim Metallic case, it's the same color as the body and it's really subtle so you won't notice the phone has a case.

I do agree though that the phone is plain sexy naked, had a TPU for a bit but couldn't stand how it uglified this piece of art. The Ringke case is a good compromise (got a few minor scratches on the case - which would of been on the phone if not for the case).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] falconeight:
Screw that the phone feels good but its damn slippery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dadsterflip:
Yes every time I take my phone off my case it feels soooooo sexy and I always think about running nekkid but then the nicks and dings sets in my head hahahah

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] republitarian:
No case, no screen protector, rockin it fully naked. Had it on for the first month when I received the phone in November and love the way it feels without it. One other thing if you get extended battery the phone actually feels heavier yet more solid when held in the hand. When I had my i9250 out the box the thing was like a feather and I was afraid it was going to fly out my hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
There are times where having a case are good, and other times when it's pointless.

I have a TPU case that I use when I go to bars/sports/etc. generally places where I know that pulling my phone out is more likely for it being dropped (due to intoxication on my part or others)

But when I go to work, am at home, go out to restaurants for dinner, friend's houses, etc. I'll take the case off and let it's naked body caress my tight pockets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] K.D.M.:
I just use a leather sleeve. Fits great. Still looks sexy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
I would like the leather pouch case for my Gnex.. Silicon case, bumpers, etc, they make phone bulky... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FinancialWar:
I am reading threads from the latest tab, so it does not show the name of threads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Well. Duh?

I thought only iPhone4-users were actually using those silly phone-protectors anyway.

I see resell-value mentioned as a reason for having one, but if I'm going to be annoyed by my now extra big and ugly phone for my entire period owning it, that doesn't even come close to justifying a slight increase in resell-value.

I buy a phone to have it, to enjoy it, to use it. If it breaks along the way, the law provides me with an unlimited 2 year warranty, simply because of the price-range the phone is in.

And I wont be having this phone for more than 2 years.

I see no reason to have extra rubber-garbage covering up my very good looking phone :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nycebo:
Yeah, except it doesn't cover LTE devices properly up top. The SGN sort of spills out of her bra, if you will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Just took mine outta case and wow it is so nice. Maybe it is time to go case less its beautiful
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ARod111:
I always rock my phones naked, feels good!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zakth:
I prefer bare...er.. Case less too. But it sells better in the future scratch and scuff free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xclusiv8:
I don't use a case. The phone is huge and it would get to big with a case. Only use screen protector. Never really understood why people get those huge ugly cases. In my opinion they ruin the phone. Usually I go without a screen protector as well but the gnex is an exception.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn707:
I just signed up for Squaretrade for a year, so that should make me a bit more relaxed and use my phone bare more often. It ended up being $55 and change for a year. I used the code WIZZARD25 at checkout and got $14 off. Funny thing is if I keep this phone for a year it would be a miracle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Screw cases and screen protectors, that's what insurance is for!

Covering up this phone in any way is sacrilege! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] story:
I kept it in a SGP hard case. It feels about the same on and off since it's so thin and light weight.

I drop mine way too many times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Using cases and protective screen thingies does not really have a point, it's like using a condom: it's nice, but just never ever as good.

I've never had protective screens or cases on any of my devices and I am not OCD about everything that happens to the phone after first month (or so) of use. I know I am only using the device for up to two years at best before wanting to upgrade, so it's not like it's a lifetime device for me. And I rarely drop the phone and screens have stayed scratch free with the exception of few micro-scratches only visible under certain light when screen is turned off.

It's just so much better to use a device the way it was built and not protecting it from myself of all people.

If it drops or gets noticeably scratched? Sure, it would suck. But that's a freak accident, I would rather get an insurance of sorts than pad it with all sorts of materials that take away from my experience with the phone.

I will only have it for two years after all, it's best if I maximize my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bazzawhite:
Just on that comment alone I'll consider ditching my case. Haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] automaddux:
I've been using the standard case that Verizon was selling for it. then I broke the clip-stand on the back so I've been going commando and ended up modifying a Clingo car mount with the shell. I just glued the two pieces together with gorilla glue and voila! Now I have a pretty sturdy car mount. I'll probably stick with it until we find out whether the Samsung mount is cmpatble with the Verizon GNex. either way loving it naked!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArtnerC:
I have found for most of my electronics, I normally drop or otherwise damage the things within a time period after first getting the device. After I get used to it only extremely rarely have issues. So with this knowledge, I use a case at first then free-ball it all the way to contract renewal. Took it off the other day (a bit earlier than normal), but I can't stop touching it. So sexy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
I had my sgs2 for 10 days before micro grit scratched a deep scratch onto my screen. They're only strong against keys and such.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frying_fish:
I've never been one for cases on phones. They've always changed how the feel and look. Now a slip pouch (I've got a custom one from Fitbag, look in the accessories section for details) is a different question. I quite like keeping it in there to protect from general dust and things, but I can hold it in my hands to use as normal, rather than with some bulky case on it.

I have however bought a cheap case, but only to use in my home made car mount, for gps navigation use. Much like I did with my desire before it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spielnicht:
The genuine Samsung case keeps the phone looking and feeling sexy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
Can you link that case please :) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackattack:
I took my Diztronic case off for the last 12 hours and the phone has slipped out of my hands about 8 times. It looks good bare but feels way better with a case.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] kojam:
I've been trying diff ROM's on my Samsung Gio ...but every ROM i try i have the same issue with my data connection...data won't work until i toggle it.

I tried 2 versions of "Particle ROM". It's a GREAT one! I would have to toggle airplane mode ON, then OFF to get the data to work. If the screen timed out, I had to do it again.

I just installed GioPro 1.4 ROM and my data is also wonky. I have to toggle it still..

I had NO issue with the stock ROM. I didn't back it up before flashing. I didn't want it any way..it was practically useless. Install one or 2 apps and you were out of memory. Useless!

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LegoGabi:
Stock rom useless ?

I have stock rom and has a very good performance and battery life. Why are you saying this ?

BTW, those 2 roms you tried i think they have that data bug, it's not your fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] kojam:
I know those 2 are in developement (in fact, are there any ROM's for the Gio that aren't? :D) ...i don't have time to fully investigate each thoroughly, however, skimming through the forums, i don't recall seeing anyone with this issue. Maybe I'm wrong?

The stock ROM was terrible on battery, and I ran out of memory after installing a few essential apps. I didn't even have room for the upgrades when they were available. I found myself having to install apps, use them, the uninstall them so I could install others that I needed, then uninstall those to re-install the ones I previously uninstalled, and so on and so on and so on....

Are there any complete ROM's?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bromhexine:
rom

have you tried using a stock rom with phiezx custom kernel? I'm using [Kernel]Custom kernel for stockrom with alot of feature [Update: January 31, 2012] and a2sd works as well as swap and cpu toggle. so far i'm happy with it perhaps its what you're looking for. make sure to flash clockwork mod so you can make backups and restore at any time to the previous rom if unhappy.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] 1Jonathan1:
Use gio general topic please, this is subforum only for devs. Mod please close thread
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] samydroid:
If you root your device then you can easily overcome this problem on stock rom. You'll have to make an ext partition on your sd card and then download link2sd from market. Then using link2sd, just keep system files on internal and move all apps and their lib/dex files to your sdcard's ext.

On my stock 2.3.3 I had 75+ apps installed with still 100MB free on internal. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] kojam:
Bumping!

Really need some help on this...

Tried many diff ROM's now, with same result. Data only works intermittently. Some ROMs have required my intervention to get data to work (temporarily work), while other ROMs require no intervention; data goes on and off by itself.

Do i need to flash a new radio? Where would I get a radio for the Canadian BELL variant of the Gio. Upon bootup, the screen says it's S5660, no M, or L, or V, etc.

Today I installed the ICS from here:

http://www.blogotechblog.com/2012/01/how-to-install-ice-cream-sandwich-on-samsung-galaxy-gio-s5660/

Still same thing is happening. This ROM is one the one's in which the data turns itself off and on. It happens to frequent to be useable.

I've tried several of the more popular Gio ROM's.

I REALLY NEED SOME HELP HERE PLEASE.

I'm stumped!

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] kojam:
So, just reverted back to STOCK and there have been no issues with data connection.

Why won't this thing work with any other ROM?

I've used popular ROM's that have NOT been known to have issues with the data connection.

I don't understand.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] nifterific:
Check your model number against the base rom used to make the custom. For example, I have an SHW-M290K, so GT-S5560 roms cause bluetooth, wifi and sensors to not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] kojam:
Ok.

Thanks for the advice. Will check...

Not sure...do they often list that info? Will check tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] kojam:
Up and running now...

Here's what I done (sounds like a real Redneck?)

Had to flash the original ROM back on it. Make sure that data connection worked...and it was ROCK SOLID...

WIPE EVERYTHING! Factory reset code *2767*3855#,

Flashed CWM for KANG's ICS ROM, flashed KANG's ICS ROM, wipe everything, (factory reset code doesn't seem to work in ICS).

Data was flakey for the 1st few minutes, but now seems to be ROCK SOLID.
