Maybe I'm being misleading in saying Google Music, it's the name of the APK and it's the player from google music but it's not the online streaming thing, just so you know. There are 2 players on this ROM and the one I use is the googleMusic one. Sorry to disappoint anyone but being Canadian I don't have it myself.
[HTC Incredible S] DragonDios:
He's right, the new Music player for Android 4.x is called 'Google Music Play'
[HTC Incredible S] slym84:
Just started playing with this ROM. Working flawless till now.

Edit: Sh*t, wrong forum, lol. Meant for IceColdSandwich 6.1.1. But hey, I've installed this too. Great work johnblundon..Been using your mods since Niks ROM..
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I think it's the language barrier, I think he means so far it's perfect for him ;)
[HTC Incredible S] semdoc:
Excellent work john !!

Keep up your work :))

Btw the latest (1.3) workin very nice with ICS 6.2 test 4 AOKP on my DHD....
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
wow john. i've not been here for quite some time and when i came back, saw your thread and i was like. damn, you're awesome. keep up the good work man!
[HTC Incredible S] TheCrow1372:
@John, thanks for everything but I've jumped over to the Samsung Galaxy S2X so keep up the great work buddy!:thumbup::)
[HTC Incredible S] Nezbert:
I'm having the same problem. I installed using apps first, then UI and also tried installing them the other way round. I can't use this theme without calendar sync, so I'm gonna have to go back to stock ICS until this is fixed. Lovely theme, BTW.
[HTC Incredible S] semdoc:
Waiting for com.johnblundon.blackened.frost.theme-1.apk ....

LOL ;)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I been trying to get it going man but I have not had much time, I have a totally updated theme if anyone wants it, I just never released it because I was hoping to release a theme chooser version as well :(

If anyone wants the updated theme let me know and Ill post it when I get home.

@semdoc I'm working on it bro :)
[HTC Incredible S] semdoc:
No rush :)

Take your time as you need it :)
[HTC Incredible S] Rapier:
If it's possible an update for Lord ClockaN's IceColdSandwich latest version as well , will be great. It has reached version 8.1 test 12. I'm still using on it your last version "Severly Beaten" but I think it's outdated, especially the apps. MMS.apk in latest test 12 is new and if I use the last darkened app package from you, it'll replace mms.apk with an older version

Till you get a Theme Chooser version, is ok to post a flash able zip as well
[HTC Incredible S] Juventus1897:
I keep getting SystemUI force close and status bar disappears.
[HTC Incredible S] Vessarius:
Is there any version of this theme which can work with the newest ice cold sandwich 8,0 ROM?

Thanks.

John your work is awesome as always. I still have the incredible s. So still can test it. Thanks for your great work :)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Just got the new IceCold 8.1 and 8.2 from Kaijura so I'll install test and mod the theme for these updates ASAP. This is what I have been waiting on, so all you IceCold users should have something very soon :)
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Glad to see you are back John. You could look into making your work as a CM9 theme on the market, you'd earn some $$ with all that talent and it'd go to other devices!

Will this work with IceColdSandwich - 8.1.1? Just Flashed it now and I don't have Notification Bar and always comes up with System UI has been stopped. I am using Desire HD.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I'm looking into it man, been short of time doing up the new house but I'm hoping to have more time now and really look into getting this working. If someone wants to help me and point me in the right direction I would LOVE to get this working, especially now that I'll have a version with Theme Chooser.

Updates are coming, thanks for all the love and support :)

R.I.P. my favorite Joker :(

p.s. will make an inquisition from Virtuous Vivo myself to have an complete working ICS
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:

[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Sorry guys I'll address the button issue asap. Canada day weekend so I'm kinda busy :)
[HTC Incredible S] ragz:
Happy Canada Day weekend to you John and all my fellow Canadian xdaers.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I will add it back in, it's been hard to keep up with the gaap updates lately :)
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
There should be no need to replace anything with the latest update. System UI is only slightly touched and only the modded files. So there should be no issues :)
[HTC Incredible S] husky69:
Just ditched Sense and came back to IceColdSandwich 8.1.1 which ran fine - but since installing BlackenedApps and BlackenedUI v3.7 I get loads of messages "SystemUI crashed" (ok, that's what I think it is in english). Restoring backup now.

Any hints why this happens? Did I make a mistake? Installed the files through ClockWorkMod and wiped cache and dalvik...
[HTC Incredible S] scorpwy:
System UI has stopped

I've got the same popped up notification, repeatedly, despite flashing BlackenedUI_IceCold_V3.7 over ICS8.2 with Blackened_Apps_IceCold_V3.7.

Is there a way to solved this ? Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I'm not sure what is causing this for you guys, I tested a bunch of things last night and even updated to 8.2 and everything seems to be working fine for me... can you give me some more details like what your running when you get these messages??
[HTC Incredible S] Rapier:
I'm using the latest 3.7 on IceColdSandwich 8.2 stable without any issues. The only bad thing is the black text over dark buttons, it's hard to read anything on them, but I saw that's a known issue, was already reported and hope to be solved soon

[HTC Incredible S] bobbybow:
Are you all set as tablet mode?? 128 dpi
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
Holy damn how do you use that on a 4" screen?:eek:

Edit: When I first installed IceColdSandwich 8.2, I did a full wipe, then installed the blackened UI theme and got the systemUI crash. I'll try it again since I reinstalled the rom without installing the themes at the same time. Maybe not rebooting before installing the themes caused that issue, I'll give it a try and report back.
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
yeah I can't really account for anyone who changes their DPI and stuff, your on your own there becasue I leave mine stock :) I can only testify that I have no issues personally and I can't seem to replicate anyone else's issues, so without a little more info not sure I can help.

Anyone else having issues or does it work for most users??
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
To anyone having the SystemUI crash, do a full wipe, install the rom, reboot, let the rom settle, reboot into recovery and install the Blackened UI mods.

Using these steps I have successfully installed the Blackened UI mods. Hope this helps the people having issues.:)
[HTC Incredible S] Me4oKyX:
Did a full wipe, installed clean ICS 8.2, all programs installed without a glitch, restarted the phone at least 7-8 times, then tried to install the theme and after the restart I also constantly get the System UI FC .... cleaned the System UI through Root Uninstaller but nothing changed - the same System UI FC error all the time.... Something's not quite right here.... Don't know why. used all the previous versions, using the same programs as before with previous theme versions...... Something's wrong with the theme IMO .... No offense to the DEV - BIG UP to him, he's doing a great job but too much of us get the FC error.... after full wipes and the cleanest install possible. Let us know how we can help up so this great theme can be usable for all of us again :D :good:
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Very weird man, I will have a look at all of the files make a few updates and recreate the theme again to see if that helps. I have some things I'm checking out so I'll be making an update soon. Really sorry for any inconvenience this has caused I'm still a real noob to this stuff so I'm lucky to have not had many issues up until now :)

I'll see what I can do for you all ASAP. Everyone else I hope your enjoying the theme.
[HTC Incredible S] yvibes:
I have flashed the theme with only a wipe of cache and dalvik cache... No errors for me :) only problem is the black text on some buttons and backgrounds (screen shot posted couple pages back) other than that great job

Same problem here, did full clean install and SystemUI crashes all the time, also I've noticed that the quick settings pull down menu isn't working, hope you can fix it thx
[HTC Incredible S] mohitgalaxy3:
Is there anyway, I can use it on Gingerbread ROM: I am on NIk' Trinity Sensation XL.???
[HTC Incredible S] Z0R:
no way mate. :D
[HTC Incredible S] Burtrum57:
I haven't had any problems either! I installed 8.2 and San it for several days then installed 3.7 and the only issue is the previously mentioned one.

Nothing to do with this upgrade but I can't use ICS Camera+, starts but I have a black screen.
[HTC Incredible S] BigPickle80:
Absolutely love this theme! Only issues for me is i cant get the boot audio to work :(

& the other is very minor and thats the lockscreen audio is a second behind the action, the unlockscreen audio is bang on time.

*Disire S*
[HTC Incredible S] vampire36:
Try this...

After flashing the theme...reboot...SystemUI will be fcing...

Replace the orginal SystemUI.apk from the icecoldsandwich rom in /system/app/ using some explorer like root explorer and should be fine...

A fantastic MOD for the IceColdSandwitch ROM. I have used it on a port for Desire S and everything working ok.

This makes me wonder are there more MODs like this? if yes, please let me know. I'm waiting for someone to do a similar White/Bright MOD as everything in ICS is always a little too dark IMO.
[HTC Incredible S] batjuh:
Its looks like the most users with an Incredible s don't experience systemui FC messages. Probably because it is written officially for the Incredible s

i myself have an desire hd and also experience FC messages from systemui. So i stick with 8.2 and your BlackenedFrost UI V2.0.zip and BlackenedFrost Apps v2.0.zip

Think i will flash 8.3 also with the 2.0 apps and frost ui and see how that works out.

The most awsome about it is its all black. Other roms ive tried lately were okay aswell. But missing out on your black frost theme! So thanks for all the effort you put in so far.
[HTC Incredible S] beggar23:
Any plans for developing a CM9 theme chooser variant? :beer:

I dropped and broke my incs... this is the second one in less than a year so I don't think I'll be getting one back anytime soon... you don't need to tell me how much this sucks... I'm trying to see if I can find a second hand one to buy or something but until then I'm stuck on a borrowed HD2... don't fret to much because I love the Incredible S and I am going to do whatever I can to get another one...

Hopefully I can figure out this HD2 and get ICS on it... My theme may work on both?? Hopefully if so I'll keep developing it. I'll keep you posted.
[HTC Incredible S] ragz:
Nooooooo,now sense will never be blackened.lol Good luck brother and hope to read of your new exploits soon.
[HTC Incredible S] sinosuke:
I flashed your UI and APP. But after the "Android is upgrading" process,my phone keep showing a msg "Unfortunate: The system UI has stopped"

Before flashing,i using the default system theme came with IceColdSandwich 88.3 Rossie. With this error msg,i lost my status bar.

So i try to change from system theme to another theme and it work normal.

But i think i lost many awesome feature of your UI MOD.

Pls help me to fix this.Thank a lot!!!!
[HTC Incredible S] Rapier:
Not my intention to be rude, but have you read the threads you download/install things from at least once? Only couple of pages back there are people having the same issue and it was answered. Let's show a minimal respect to all people here on XDA by not reporting same issue again and again, especially when it was answered just because we are too lazy to read few pages back...

Now back to your problem...replace SystemUI.apk with the one from the ROM ZIP using a file explorer with root access and set the permissions to rw- r- r after that. Yes, you might loose some things but till John will sort this out this is the only solution. Good luck

[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I have just grabbed this and I'm learning how to install and modify the HD2 so I can get as close to the Incs as I can, that way I can continue working on my theme... I'll keep you guys posted :)
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
@john-

this is a two part post :)

a- came back to ICS after a looong time & of course, flashed your mods and MAN, they are just so awesome!

i can't thank you enough... brilliant work..really

b- i flashed the same mods on my friend's Inc S, but he is having the SystemUI FC'ing.

quite strange?
[HTC Incredible S] FatRocker666:
Can I ask a really dump question, where do i find the SystemUI.apk and the one form ICS ROM?
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Which version are you guys using?? I'll remove the systemUI APK and upload a new version without for you guys, that should solve all of the problems...
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
Using the latest ICS & latest mods here...

funnily to add, 3 of us have IncS at work & it's working with no issues on 2 (including mine), but on the other we wiped, flashed and installed the mods 3 times over, but the UI mod still FCs.

No issues with the app mod.

PS: is there any problem with the email app for anyone? cos occasionally the emails don't show up..

the inbox shows fine, but opening an email, its a blank page...

exiting and reopening after a while, its back to normal
[HTC Incredible S] Tjee:
Anxiously waiting for version without system apk!

Any chance you'd find the time to upload it anytime soon?
[HTC Incredible S] Rapier:
It's happening from time to time, don't think it's theme related, I had this also with clean ROM. I just long press back key (to kill email app) and reopen, then it's fine
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
I'm hoping to get another IncS by next week :) I am really sick of the HD2 and how damn touchy it is to get anything to work... Gotta get a IncS back :)

I'll keep you posted on my progress and let when I get one an updated theme will be coming :)

The Blackened Return

Hey Everyone, Sorry I have been away for a while, if you didn't know I broke my IncS and had to go to a HD2 for a while, didn't really like it, really missed the Incredible S and my own theme :(

Anyway I'm getting very close to getting another one, been saving up and I'm a little over a hundred bucks away! Get's paid again next week so hopefully I can pick up a new one and rejoin the community (I missed you guys).

So I have been looking at the forum and seeing that some people are having SystemUI.apk issues, that sucks. So I had a buddy over a few mins with an Incredible S so I made some quick changes and used him for a test dummy :)

In preparation for hopefully getting a new Phone I have been prepping an updated apps package containing the latest updates and a new FIXED UI for those having issues. I couldn't really extensively test it because it's not my phone (I was lucky he let me do it) but if you guys would like to try it out here are the links:

BlackenedUI_IceCold_V4.0.zip

Blackened_Apps_IceCold_V4.0.zip (Removed according to my buddy it breaks YouTube, I'll fix ASAP)

Hopefully this is the start of my Blackened Return :D

Please let me know how it works for you guys so I can get it perfect for when I hopefully get a new phone soon. Created to work with the latest IceColdSandwich ROM 8.3 - ROSSI [AOKP] By: kaijura, sorry playground people this was the phone I had to test on and it was only IceCold :(

Hopefully phone and updates for all soon :D

Congratz dude, for a new baby :)
[HTC Incredible S] Burtrum57:
Hey John! A word from one who has been there.

Volunteer to get up for the 2am feed. Even if all you do is change the nappy, put it on mum to feed them take it after and burp it etc! You'll score plenty points from mum and he's friends!

What happens is mum is up for the 10pm feed, you do the 2am feed and mum's turn for 6am. After 2 or so months the 2am feed goes. Mum is still up at 10pm as is your new routine, you get to sleep through the 2 coz it's not needed any more and mum again at 6.

Lots of sleep for dad!
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
HAHHAHAHA THanks guys! I expected more comments on the theme attempt but instead I'm getting awesome parenting advice from all over XDA, you guys are awesome!! Thanks for all of the tips and advice, this is my first baby so I could sure use it :D

So John, when's the eta? Not talking about the theme either :)

Congrats mate, you're deserving of a lot after your contributions to this forum and our phone :)

Great mod man!! :good: Glad to see it again! :)

Just tested it with my ICS Buttons mod and they work great together!! Great job!
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:

[HTC Incredible S] IncredibleSandwich:
Just don't forget to flash ICS Buttons Mod first, then your awesome Blackened UI mod :)
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
So I flashed black apps, then black ui on ice cold 8.3. When my phone booted up, it shows system ui not responding. Am I missing something?
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
flash the one at the top of the previous page not the OP, there are no mods to the SystemUI file. If you having issues it may be something else that I'll have to look into soon, but as fas as I know the new one should work perfectly.
[HTC Incredible S] Tjee:
Should we use 4.0 ui with 3.0 apps? And can we update it later on by installing 4.0 apps?
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
You can use both, the apps will not be the latest ones but I'm hoping to have fully updated apps very soon, thought I had them done but they broke YouTube so I removed the link... Hopefully new apps very very soon.
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
Ah... The Blackened UI feels good...
[HTC Incredible S] Tjee:
How do you get that awesome snowflake background?
[HTC Incredible S] beggar23:
I'm certainly aware this question has been asked, but are there currently any plans towards a theme chooser version?

Thank you.
[HTC Incredible S] Tjee:

Also: My google search bar is not transparent. And stock camera and gmail, google play still have the old icon. I'm wondering if something went wrong during install.

Anyway thanks for this great theme man ;) good luck with the upcoming baby. When is it due?

P.S. You play some badass guitar :p
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
That is the next step hoping to get a new phone this weel and get back on top of things. If anyone has any resources or tutorials that you think would help I would be very interested :)

You must have installed before I removed the new apps pack, or your apps have updated since the last one. I'm working on a new one that should be out this week... and thanks for the guitar comment... I'm trying :)
[HTC Incredible S] Tjee:
Well i just reinstalled from scratch: loaded a pre blackened backup and flashed apps 3.7 and then the 4.0 ui. Problems so far: non of the gapps nor widgets are themed and the keyboard doesnt light up when pressed. When holding a keyboard button to get an accent on the letter, it looks really weird (black pops next to the letter). Did I do something wrong? Loving everything so far but I've been dying to get your awesome wallpaper from the video.

Also, do i need to uninstall the former version if i were to update? Or do i need to load a pre blackened backup?
[HTC Incredible S] johnblundon:
Not sure whats happening there man... I'm working on theme chooser and a new Apps pack, hopefully in the next day or 2... please be patient and I'll try to fix everything for everyone :)

In the meantime and as a kinda "I'm sorry" for your issues here is the wallpaper you requested. I made this just for the promo videos and never did post it anywhere. I have tons of awesome wallpaper that I custom make... maybe I'll have to post a few in the OP.

and it's a ninja start not a snow flake :D Enjoy!
[HTC Incredible S] Tjee:
Awesome! I should make you apologise more often! (jk :p)

Take all the time you need.
