[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Sorry to the people who say the batter mod is not working. It's ONLY for the Playground ROM and has only been tested on my IncS. I was thinking that all playground roms would be the same so it should work.. Anyone else try it and not get the battery??

@max I have a few more tweaks to do and that is on my list :)

For IceColdSandwich users, only use the mods in the OP they are specifically listed for IceCold, Playground users have their own mods because the ROM slightly differ.

Severely Beaten mod was just something I got working for Playground and I thought I would share, similar mods coming for the IceCold Users.

I would love soe more feedback from the Playground users who tried the Severely Beaten mod and new apps, is everything working for most of you guys??

When importing contact from v card ... Contacts app crashes using stripper apps mod.
[HTC Incredible S] ragz:
I am embarased to admit this John,but my failure to get new battery mod was because i was only flashing the new 2.2 app mod because i was not seeing where to get the Severely Beaten mod ui which is obviously right above it[click on the banner],i also had to change my battery status style back to default in system-status bar-battery status style option.

Hope this may help because mine works great now.:o
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Awesome brother! Glad it worked :)

Try these:

Just flashed the Blackened PlaygroundUI Severely Beaten Edition V2.3, but my sms background is white, not black?

I was on 7.4 (DHD). Also everytime System UI stopped working.

Does it work fully on 7.3 build?, because I went back on the 7.3.

Update added to the second post. Battery Mod requests all fully animated and charging animations for the first time on Playground ROM's.
[HTC Incredible S] bobbybow:
Wow!!! Awesome!!!! Thanks for responding to our request. Love you so much XD

But.. I get a systemui force close after flashing the full circle blue -evilkal and I lost my status bar. I'm using ice cold 7.4 from Lord.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
That's because these mods are for playground. Ice cold battery mods are in rom control.

How to get back to the previous lock sound?

I installed the severely_beaten v2.3 for Playground rom. I am finding the lock screen sound too loud and long-ish :D

Is there a way I can get that "click" sound back without uninstalling the rest of the mods.

thanks in advance.

Update:

Used the Root mode in ES File explorer and replaced lock.ogg and unlock.ogg from the playground ics zip.

Strange, I am on IceColdSandwich 7.3 on DHD.

Could it be because I flashed it over the Digital Frost theme?

Because I used my nandroid backup of 7.3 because 7.4 was laggy for me, but I had the Digital Frost theme flashed on my 7.3...
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Shoot me a link to the exact rom your using and I'll try to fix it for you, must be something that changed after 7.2 that stops my mod from applying.
[HTC Incredible S] Jeurum_92:

As far as I can see everything is themed, in settings and so on.

Only background SMS is not.
[HTC Incredible S] vladabiber:
Hi John, I really admire your work, so first thing I did when I switched to playground ROM is to blundonize it. But, tbh, I really don't dig that fancy animations in blackened playground, so I wanted to ask is it possible to turn that animations off or is there some non-animated UI mod? One more thing: when I flashed BlackenedPlayGround, minimalistic text widgets stopped working, very odd. No problems with blackened Icecold versions. Thanks very much, and keep up good work, it is you who really gives fine touch to this fantastic ROMs.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Thanks dude glad you like it :D

I have a bunch of mods done that are not released, I'm in the process of moving and it's really taking up a bunch of my time, thankfully a few new animations and a stock are ready to apply:

BlackenedFrost_animation_STOCK.zip

BlackenedFrost_animation_PsynShift.zip

BlackenedFrost_animation_PsynFlip.zip My current new animation :)

Apply the STOCK mod and you will be back to ICS stock animations :)

Created by zeitgeist181 for his Infowars 3.5 ROM I just tweaked them a bit to work better for us.
[HTC Incredible S] vladabiber:
What can I say, your answer is fast & effective!

No problem brother, glad I could help :)
[HTC Incredible S] Rapier:
John if you didn't find out yet, latest AOKP based ROMs, including the test version of IceColdSandwich, have the CM9 Theme Chooser added to the ROM and is working. You might have wider spread of this awesome mod across devices and ROMs if you will make it Theme Chooser compatible.

John, I would like to let you know, that I just updated to the new playground ICS (05-15) and i tested MMS, they were working... until I put on Blackened S.B. Playground edition, I don't know if you could check the settings/icons/something on the SMS section of your theme.

1.Sent a MMS(picture) to my GF's phone with normal Playground ICS(05-15), It sent very fast, she received it no problem.

2.Installed blackened theme, couldn't send MMS(picture) anymore, it just hangs there and after 5 mins it's still there trying to send.

I hope you can fix :)

Only trying to help you bro :D

I have noticed that myself man.... not sure really how to fix it but as soon as I get my computer and suff set up at my new place I'll be all over trying to fix it... if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them :D

Thanks Dragon, I just updated myself and noticed a few things I have to adjust for the update in my theme. I should be back on the go very soon and hopefully I'll solve everyones issues.

[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I'm Back!

Hey Everyone, Thanks for all of the love and kind messages in my absence, makes a guy feel special :)

Just getting back into the groove but I thought I would post an update ASAP as a kinda apology for being away so long. Not a whole lot new, some tweaked icons and colors and versions of the latest GAPPS (except for g+ because they keep updating it) anyway here is a updated version of Blackened Frost for both the UI and Apps on Twisted's latest Playground ROM. IceColdSandwich is next and then I may give a sense ROM a shot... not sure because I'm not a fan of sense but I may try for something new. I'm very happy with Blackened frost right now and not sure where to go next so maybe I'll try sense to mix it up a bit. Regardless here is an updated version for the changes since I have been gone.

BLACKENED PLAYGROUND UI 3.5

Blackened Playground UI V3.5

BLACKENED PLAYGROUND APPS 3.5

Blackened Playground Apps V3.5

Enjoy :D
[HTC Incredible S] Ichabond:
Hey man, thanks for all the work you put into this, but with the current version of the IceColdSandwich theme pack, the ability to sync calendars is removed, which is a major pain.

I appreciate the work!

John sense is an acquired taste that I'm sure would be much improved with your talents,my vote goes for you broadening your horizons ,it just makes sense.lol (I am just suggesting and not demanding )
[HTC Incredible S] aawillma:
Wow how awesome that you are still so dedicated to this labor of love. Have you thought of making a theme for the AOKP/CM9 theme engine? It seems like a lot of custom roms are implementing that now and it would probably be a lot simpler than customizing your theme packs to all new roms. You could reach so many devices that way! And I would bet a donate version would be quite successful and well deservedly so.

Thanks again for all your hard work. Rockin your icons and blackened apps on my doubleshot.

Theme chooser is my next thing to look into, I know nothing about it at this point but I'm hoping to quickly learn :)
