[Acer Iconia A500] Powell730:
So I've been out of the game for a while.. I haven't checked the threads since before the offical OTA update.. in fact, i didnt even know it was out until tonight.

I have a rooted Acer A500 running a very early version of thor2002's version of ICS.. It's on a honeycomb bootloader and on an early version of CWM..

I generally am pretty decent about being able to read the dev section and find my answers throughout different threads but I am so totally lost on what I need to do to update to the offical ICS..

From what I'm gathering I need to update the bootloader and then install a rom.. if that's the case, what's the easiest way to update the bootloader? at that point do all roms work or only offical ICS roms? Sorry for the noob questions.. I've missed a few months and for some reason this is totaly jibberish to me.
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
I used Civato's guide here and went the manual way on three a500s so far. It is very easy, but a bit frightening until you've done it once or twice. APX mode is a pain to do manually, but there's a tool by blackthund3r included in the guide that is supposed to help if the manual method doesn't work for you. I have had great luck getting into APX by holding reset press and hold power for (exactly it seems) 3 seconds, then one more second before you release the reset button. Also blackthund3r posted in a different guide that he holds reset, then the power button until the power light comes on. Release the power button as soon as you see the light. One second more then release the reset. Also when it goes into APX the screen is blank and the power light is on.

From what I understand you can flash just about any rom that is using the ICS bootloader. Honeycomb stuff will mess you up... So none of that after the V4 bootloader. There are many smarter people here that can give you a better and more accurate explaination about the specifics than I can. But that should be pretty close.

Looking for this apk.
[TouchPad General] gaboury83:
Just wondering if there is access to the theme from aokpcb for the latest nightly. I loved the aokpcb theme though but I never liked the rom.
[TouchPad General] scar45:
Hi gaboury83, I am the original creator of the PCB Theme, and I can tell you that I am working on getting a CM9 Theme Chooser version ready for it. It's quite different than the current method, but bear with me until I get it sorted out :)

For more, and to keep informed of updates, visit the link in my signature which leads to the main AOKPCB page. Cheers and thanks for your interest!
[TouchPad General] scar45:
Quick FYI to let you know that it's on the Market now, and compatible with all ROMs that have the CM Theme Chooser built in:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teambroccoli.theme.pcbblue

(more work to still be done on the Tablet UI elements...but they are minor)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
I cannot view them on my XP workstation. They appear for a min and disappear. I might have accidentally formatted internal with CWM at some point. I restored to 198_7 in an attempt to fix but it did not fix. I would appreciate any help you guys got.

EDIT: after installing stock ROM I could only see one SD card with way too much space than I thought I had. I then installed AOKP and show two sd cards... only sd card is view able. internal EMMC does not work.

[HTC EVO 3D] J3STUR:
Looks nice!
[HTC EVO 3D] matrixmain78:
I like the effect of the flat Black! are you going to make one compatible with other ICS roms like the one from team 420?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] mutant13:
It should work with most deodex roms, try it and let me know !
[HTC EVO 3D] chuko303:
This dude is trying to profit from it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mutant13:
That dude is me .....I put it free here for xda...if you want to support the developer(me)you can buy it from the market...:D
[HTC EVO 3D] mutant13:

[HTC EVO 3D] shizkoff777:
That's pretty crappy thing to say. In another note how many have you sold.nor trying to be rude if it isn't a lot I was going to buy it just to say thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] chROMed:
God forbid someone get paid for there time. If I was mutant I would pull the free apk and close the thread. People like you kill motivation to develop anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jbb3393:
I bought it and love it thanks man! One question is the apk in th op the exact same as the one on the market? Here's my screenie :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] mutant13:
It is the exact same apk, if you add the theme to it, it will make the changes to the status bar, etc..
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevillarroel:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyefye:
update to this...

I pushed the app "Android Lost", and "Android Lost Jumpstarter".

I was able to

1) have the phone call me with this app,

2) get the phone number,

3) request a password reset on the t-mobile account

4) pull the texted password from the phone,

5) login to the tmo account

6) acquire owners name, address, lines

7) pulled GPS location, went to her work location.

8) Gave her a chance to return my phone. After refusing, had a police office retrieve my phone.

Wonderful app. Will be donating.

Plan B fell short. Way short.

[Epic 4G Themes] samep:
Saw this earlier; looks good. Downloading now to flash. Thanks, Nash!
[Epic 4G Themes] thomasskull666:
AMAZING! You sir are awesome, thank you much for taking the time to port this. I haven't tried it yet but I will tomorrow and I suspect it will look even better than it used to :-)

And I'd be more than happy to host those files for ya if you need it!
[Epic 4G Themes] mrcollpepper:
Dl'ing now. thank you for this:D

what did you say to me! oh, my mistake.
[Epic 4G Themes] orlzzt:
This is slick! On TPR 2.2, with "fast" animations and running great. Kudos to all involved...
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
Thank you all. This is why I love what I do. Glad everyone likes it.

I would appreciate that thomas. Shoot me a pm and let me know if you can do that. Hope you enjoy guys:D
[Epic 4G Themes] travmofosho:
Wow good job bro! I've become really good at digging up icons within old themes so if there is anything you need help with just let me know :)
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
I actually wanted to do the scrolling status bar with the origanal power menu icons but didn't know where to find ones that matched or how to make them. Your help is always appreciated trav:cool:

Ya I actually just figured out some bad news. I won't be able to develop anymore for xda :( I can still help and support others but with the new job I had to sign an agreement not to develop any type of software or else I could lose my job!
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
Sounds like a good idea. Plan on doing a second version with some changes. :D:p;)
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
Nooo, that's sucks dude. Gonna miss having you around. Now I need to apply what you have taught me and step it up a notch to keep your work alive through my own efforts.

If you have any themes you would like me to finish or if you teach me some things I will try to keep the cut and paste from alive and updated.

Sad to see you go man. Even though you can't release anything for xda, android and the epic community will always have the truly great work you have given us:):o:(
[Epic 4G Themes] flastnoles11:
That sucks! Your themes were my favs!!! Sad to see you go, but at least its for a good reason!!!
[Epic 4G Themes] orlzzt:
Trav, you can still hang out, flash roms, etc...right?
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
Yeah, his agreement just prohibits him from developing for xda. I'm sure we will still see him around, I hope:confused:
[Epic 4G Themes] mrcollpepper:
But does the agreement keep him fromdevolping for, say you, and you redistribute after "making some changes" to make it yours? Or should I say nashmofosho! :D:cool:

what did you say to me! oh, my mistake.
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
LMFAO:D I'm sure there are some loop holes that we could work around. Hopefully trav is up for it. I know he had a pink theme and one or two others he was working on that I would be willing to finish. And if trav or maybe Kenny could teach me a few things about rom building then maybe I could keep cut and paste alive:):D;):cool:
[Epic 4G Themes] flastnoles11:
Oh please do the pink one! I have been working on one, but had a pretty bad accident a couple hours ago (not in a car) and broke both wrists, displaced some bones in my hand and cracked my elbow. Scheduled for surgery on the wrists and hand Tuesday and doubt I will be able to do anything for awhile... gonna be doped up on painkillers and still trying to take care of my daughter with no hands = no time for themeing...
[Epic 4G Themes] mrcollpepper:
Yikes! Hope your okay. Sounds like you fell onto concrete. Either way, that is horrible what happened.

what did you say to me! oh, my mistake.
[Epic 4G Themes] flastnoles11:
Pretty close... basketball court... went in for an easy layup... and got fouled... HARD!! Fell straight back onto my arms... talk about painful... I'm good though... doped up and good...;)

what did you say to me! oh, my mistake.
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
Flast man, damn! You have some unfortunate luck. Hope you get better soon. :)
[Epic 4G Themes] travmofosho:
HAHA you guys crack me up! Ya ill still be around but im probibly gonna be hiding in dark corners and alleyways lol I actually have been so busy that i forgot what i was going to do next lol But i give nash permission to change, modify, or update any of my themes. I trust his work and if thats something he wants to maintain then im totally up for it. I can still give advice and recommendations but my agreement states that anything i develop (even if its not an apple product) is Apple property and if i share it professionally or for free on a public forum then its a conflict of interest. I am very stoked to work there but will miss giving back to this community. Also with Cut and Paste ROM. I did update the kernel and add some stock apps back but i havent finallized it yet and as of now i dont think ill have the time. I know nash is up for it but its gonna take some work. Anyone thats up for it just PM me
[Epic 4G Themes] mrcollpepper:
I prefer visual and flashable advice. Please and thank you.

And congrats on the new contract.:beer:

what did you say to me! oh, my mistake.
[Epic 4G Themes] mrcollpepper:
Okay back on topic, for now, will v2 have more black and white icons::: like xda, gallery, maybe the calender widget. It has a blue bar at the top.. I know that these are mostly my home screens, but they are the ones I see. Also on a side note, on blue bomber with the bubble battery icon, does that also come black and white? Thanks in advance.

what did you say to me! oh, my mistake.
[Epic 4G Themes] flastnoles11:
Tell me about it... only the second time in my life I've ever broken a bone... and I ended up breaking 7 at the same time! Lmao... being in two casts that go up past your elbows with your arms bent at a 45 degree angle is not fun nor comfortable!

The good news is, you probably won't be using your daughters laptop as much. Lol

Lol, you guys are too much. In case you all haven't heard, I will be taking over travmofoshos threads and trying to keep his work in the mix. I will be making updates when I can. Your work will be missed travis but you taught me everything I know so it will be kinda like you are here. Hopefully I can throw it down like you did. I will do my best. Thank you all for your support.:cool:
[Epic 4G Themes] mis3:
I hope this doesn't come off wrong, but I currently have minimalistic black installed. In looking at the screenshots, I can barely see any difference between that and this, orher than the battery icon.

Can anyone explain what else is different?
[Epic 4G Themes] flastnoles11:
This theme is a port of an earlier theme... plenty of differences flash and find out... if you would have read the op you'd have seen he used some pngs from minimalistic...
[Epic 4G Themes] mis3:
I did read the op, which is where I saw how similar the screenshots are, and am well aware that used the pngs and gave credit. I also am well aware that this is a port of the froyo build, as I had the theme on my phone for several months during froyo. I don't know why you assumed I don't know this from my question, but unfortunately, your post adds nothing useful. So, unless someone else tries to be helpful, I can either flash and find out, as you suggested, or just pass.

If the op had posted your comments , I wouldn't have responded, as I know he spent a lot of time resurrecting a long requested theme, and after re-reading my post, it could sound like I am questioning the value of the theme, which I am not. I was just trying to decide if it's worth it for me to try it out. I guess I'll just pass.
[Epic 4G Themes] flastnoles11:
I was just sayying it doesn't look to different because a lot of the same pngs are used... wasn't trying to be snotty... the way it sounded you wanted to know why a lot of the things looked the same, so I made the comment that some pngs from that theme were used here which is why they look the same... sorry if it came off different to you... on pain meds right now and my thoughts may not be quite coming out as I want...
[Epic 4G Themes] samep:
I wish you God's Speed to recovery and for caring for your daughter uninhibited and sober!

No problem, we're good. We just both took comments the wrong way. Hope you get to feeling better.
[Epic 4G Themes] flastnoles11:
Nope... bit of an insomniac though... the pills help to go to sleep if anything...
[Epic 4G Themes] thomasskull666:
Been rocking this for a few some time now and love it, thanks again for being so kind and porting it!

2 things I've noticed:

There's a .9.png issue in the focused background image of the Google search bar widget causing it to stretch. Not a big deal as I never use it, but figured I'd point it out anyway.

Also, the text box focus (such as the one I'm typing in on the XDA app lol) is black, so it is hard to see where exactly you have pressed on the screen if you were trying to, say, paste something. Again not too detrimental, but makes it hard to see the text you are trying to paste into.

Other than those 2 things everything looks amazing. I wonder, did I theme the in-call screen in the original Mysterious Beast? I can't remember if I did or not, but this one isn't themed so though I would point that out also.

Thanks again Nashdogg!!
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
Hmm, will have to take a look at that. The in call dialer, that's the phone.apk right thomas? I may have overlooked that. I do that sometimes, lol;)

Glad you like it and it was a pleasure working on it. Working on some things for emotionless beast as we speak but will take a look at those issues when I get a minute, thanks.
[Epic 4G Themes] thomasskull666:
Ya I believe it is Phone.apk, I honestly can't remember if I themed it or not originally lmao so no biggie. No rush whenever you get a chance :-)
[Epic 4G Themes] TexasLTE:
R we done here ? .......
[Epic 4G Themes] thomasskull666:
I hope not, but I can definitely understand if Nashdogg has bigger and better projects to devote his time to :-)
[Epic 4G Themes] ÜBER™:
He does.... children...
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
Down, but not out...yet;). Yeah ÜBER is right. Life been outta control lately and my computer got jacked up for a couple days but he has helped me tremendously to get things going again. Thanks ÜBER:cool:

I did get the in call dialer back in to this theme. The only issue I've seen is when you end the call directly after it force closes. I doesn't really cause any issues that I see except you just hit the close button and everything back to normal. I used the fc09 phone.apk so not sure what happened. But it does work. I will upload it anyway for you guys to try out;)
[Epic 4G Themes] thomasskull666:
Excellent, you the man! I've seen the force close issue before, not sure what causes it but it's really not a big nuissance. I'll see if I can take a look at it if I get time, I'm on a trip right now but when I get back home I'll bust out the theming tools (they've been gathering layers of virtual dust lol) and see if I can pinpoint the cause of the FC.
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
Thank you thomas. I can always use the help ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] TexasLTE:
Loving this SPURS-inspired theme ... :D :D :D :D​
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
should have update up soon guys. dev-host has been fighting me all day. anyone recomend an free file hosting? i need an alternative,lol:p
[Epic 4G Themes] ÜBER™:
Dropbox, Billonuploads, or Box. I use dropbox... cuz they have a nice neat app for phones... and i happen to have a themed one by Decalex... ill link to it here you want to make a Dropbox account. Themed Dropbox its in the One s forums.. but it should work just the same.
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
Yeah i have a dropbox account and like three themed versions Black and White Inverted, Black and Blue inverted and ICS inverted;). I Think i will do that cause dev-host is making me rip my hair out today:eek:lol
[Epic 4G Themes] tengengegas:
ICS compatibility please!

[Epic 4G Themes] mrcollpepper:

[Epic 4G Themes] JohnnyEpic:
Nashdog,

What does the Phone icon in the top status bar represent? It looks like it has a volume type meter under the earpiece...
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
What is that you are using. The only part of that that looks like my theme is the notification area. Looks like an in call icon or something. Honestly I'm not sure cause I haven't seen that yet:confused:
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnnyEpic:
Ah, thats my launcher. I can put it back to your themed one. I just don't know what that icon is.. I don't even know what it means. Most of my apps, if not all, put my notifications on the far left. I assumed that icons in the middle are from the OS. I'm going to put another theme and see if it disappears. When I reboot it goes away then eventually just shows up again. I'll try another theme and report back later today. Lol 'Mysterious Icon'.. :)

Here it is under your launcher not that it changes anything.
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
Hmm, I'll break open the theme when I get home and take a look around and will let you know what I find. Wish I had an answer for you. I just see so many different icons through different themes so its hard to tell.:o Will take a look though. Did you by any chance check running apps and see if something was running in the background?
[Epic 4G Themes] Nashdogg:
This gets me thinking though. Was talking to Thomasskull666 the origanal creator of this theme. And since I added the themed in call dialer ( phone.apk ) there is an issue where when you end a call it force closes. It doesn't really create a problem but I'm wondering if the two are related:confused:
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnnyEpic:
Just figured it out. I went to another theme, and it disappeared. (probably cause of the reboot) When I make an out going call with Mysterious theme installed, after I hit hang up, my phone dialer force closes, and the icon gets stuck. No biggie to much. I'll do a odin and start over and try to eliminate whereever I garbled something. Sorry to introduce you to my annoyances.. :) I seriously been uninstalling and reinstalling apps all morning trying to figure it out.

I feel stooopid now.

And by the way. This theme is dope. Thank you.

Take care,

J- Pre
[Epic 4G Themes] ÜBER™:
Is that's phone not indicate the phone is on vibrate?
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnnyEpic:
Its the speaker phone icon. When the dialer FC's it stays put if your on speaker. (which is how I dial almost all my calls until it rings..) I been saying 'Derp' to myself for the last hour. :)
[Epic 4G Themes] ÜBER™:
okay so just force stop the phone apk or clear data.
[Epic 4G Themes] JohnnyEpic:
Did it. Still FCs. Any other suggestions before I odin tonight?

I recall reading here that there was an error in the Phone.apk's somehow somewhere. Maybe I'll just pull one from elsewhere....?
[Epic 4G Themes] thomasskull666:
I still need to get you an FTP account for my site, I forgot to pm you the instructions so keep an eye out and I'll do that soon :-)
