yawn....its really hard to want to use any of your stuff, no matter how good it looks when you discontinue support and move onto other things so often.....same on SGS2, and now here.

I understand you have some family stuff going on right now, and everyone should be putting family and friends ahead of bits and bytes but I'd urge you that when you do come back you stop wasting your own time, and the time of many people who might like your work by being more thoughtful and selective about what projects you want to work on, and have the time to work on.

Your efforts and output are appreciated, it's just the way you go about it all is less than ideal. I say all this as the way you're doing things now, it doesn't actually seem like you enjoy it.

Sorry to hear this mate :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ttav:
What a shame..was looking forward to more from this theme :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Nitroz:
I'm sorry, why don't you create a theme for the theme chooser, then go onto theming touchwiz for no apparent reason before an AOSP ROM comes along. Tell you what, why don't you theme it for me? It seems you already know it all. Did you not read the Google+ post? Theres no point doing the work when noone will use it after a month, it was alright when I themed AOSP because, well, its AOSP.

I might come back to this project if it takes longer to port the AOSP ROM's. But you've got to see this from a themers perspective, if I already have a theme that may work in the future with this phone, its a win/win.

Back in the SGS2 days I had no idea what the theme engine was, and had no idea how to even use it and thats why the easier option was to just port a theme over which I did and theme TouchWiz, but now I'm a more experienced themer, I've learn the theme engine is the best route to go down.

One last note, if I didn't enjoy theming, I wouldn't do it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] B3311:
I see your point, and as always, it's your work, your choice what to do with it.

I'm not convinced that I'll be going down the AOKP road this time. There's a lot of good Sammy stuff on this device, it'll be interesting to see what the devs can do with it. I'm in no rush to try anything else anyway, FWIW.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kickassdave:
Exactly this. As soon as you create a theme of a Samsung rom another base/rom comes out and you have to update the whole thing again. Some form of theme engine is indeed the only way forward and unfortunately that means cm9/AOKP roms are the way to go.

I agree though, too many features are going to be lost in getting cm9 on this phone.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Hooolm:
Maintaining a theme for a non-theme-engine firmware pulls at least half the themer's effort away from his creative work - tying him up building, building, adapting to undocumented firmware changes, rebuilding...rinse and repeat.

I've maintained CirclesMod for shorter or longer periods of time on HTC Desire, LG Optimus 2X, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Tab 10.1 and lately the Galaxy Nexus, and before the Theme Chooser for CM9 dropped, I spent an annoying amount of time hammering away at inconsistent and incompatible build tools trying to keep up with nightly 0.0.0.0.1 changes, and mine was just a basic SystemUI mod. Multiply that by the complexity of Kurt's theme and drop your jaw in awe :-)

Essentially, theming stock kang ROMs (or whatever you want to call them) turns a themer into a "bookkeeper" instead of a "creative director", and that's not why I do it. I imagine Kurt feels the same way.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] subvertbeats:
Theres no need for Nitroz to be defensive, or for others to defend him. My post was intended to be constructive criticism.

I understand and appreciate the effort required to do development of any kind, from theming to kernel development, and when theming, I understand that certain implementations allow for a greater percentage of time being creative, which is what themers are good at, and want to do.

I am truly grateful for - and thank - others for what they do.

However, these things are known - its not like they were discovered in the 24 hour period between releasing this theme and subsequently issuing a statement to say that development won't continue.

My point is - think about what you really want to work on, and put your effort into those things.

same, this is the first time Ive really enjoyed using a stock rom
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
I really can't believe this conversation is happening! We developers do this in or free time FOR FREE! To have any complaints that a project was dropped or delayed means You are selfish and Don't understand the laws of life. I became the very first theme developer that did nightly builds on CM6 for 11 devices and the whole community of theme developers complained that I was taking their followers away. I told them I'm only sharing my daily work cause I can't bare to see the stock colors and just wanted to share. The theme chooser was heaven sent helping us be more creative and gave some of our free time back for family. I started making themes because I understood that and wanted to help the community. If you really think he willingly just dropped the project just because he doesn't enjoy this then try doing it yourself and surely you will be thanking him for this time spent up to this point and move on to something else. As you can saw with all of the replies to this topic that it struck a nerve with us and should just drop this subject now! He's a great guy and even Better friend! So chill out!

Sorry bro I just had to reply to this!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] B3311:
Darkknight, chill. Subvert clarified his point, I wasn't criticising Nitroz at all. So who is your post aimed at?

I''ve said it before, and I'll say it again - all devs can do whatever they like with their work. I have nothing but the deepest respect for all of you.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kristofpetho:
Darn, really a shame, I have always likes black/white WAY more than the stock blue... :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
Not towards anyone specific, just making a statement that's why I didn't quote anyone! I do understand the blow of hearing your favorite theme is going away. That's what made me start doing it myself...but I never said anything to the developer about it. That's what hurt from that post...it's painful for us to leave a project because we know how it hurts our followers but we must move on to other things sometimes. Hope you understand I wasn't bashing your comment, just trying to lighten the blow. Sorry if I came across hostile.

Sent from my DarkICE Skanky CM9 Gnex using the app!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] subvertbeats:
And likewise, apologies if my comments came across the wrong way too.

My comments were written after reading Kurts post on G+ and subsequent replies eg

What this really means is 'too much of the shi**y non-creative work to do'/

I get that, totally.

I was trying to offer some friendly advice that allowed Kurt to be more productive with his time, and hopefully make for less project churn for users.

I bet, it is neccessary to rewrite the mod, isnt it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] v01rider:
i rooted my og evo and lost my keys. should this be a concern when rooting the ltevo?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
good luck getting that wimax key
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
The eLTEvo does not use WiMax, so it's not a concern. Not sure if/how LTE works with any similarity, but LTE isn't in NYC yet, so I can't check ('cause I rooted yesterday :D).

HTH,

-Jerry
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aikeru:
I'd like to know too

I'd also like to know if this is a potential issue ... but I suspect that it isn't since LTE would be a different technology. I would hope it would function the same as, say, 3G vs. EDGE or something like that, where it's just a difference in radio.

AFAIK: For anyone that doesn't know, the original EVO required encrypted keys to join the WiMax network, and some methods of rooting/flashing the EVO didn't preserve these keys early on. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] killakarl:
This probably will not be an issue as lte is using a sim card that is embedded in the phone. You also might want to pm a modern and ask them to move this to q&a.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] v01rider:
thanks, wasnt sure were to put this. lol...thought rooting would be the best place.

anywho, thanks all. not that i used 4g all that much after rooting. i sure missed the wow factor when i was not in a wifi area. :)

just wanted to put the topic out there for devs to check into.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Edit: Misread the OP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jgalan14:
No it you don't loose the keys from personal experience from my og evo and the thi thunderbolt, Lte works in a different way kind of like cdma, they will be radios to flash like the OG evo tho
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
I don't believe that there would be potential issues. If you notice the LTE / EVDO radios coexist seamlessly and I don't believe that it requires a second level of authentication as WiMax did. I have no way of testing and I could be wrong but unless you do something drastic that may affect the radio portion, then I believe that rooting alone should be OK.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I've had this same concern, as I remember all the people who forever bricked their wimax keys on Evo 4g using one if the root methods, and there was no way to know initially because wimax wasn't up and running yet. Just like now.

But, as stated, the LTE radio resides in the SoC, and shouldn't be subject to compromise. From what I understand.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
I'm rooted, dev unlocked and I flashed another rom while wiping every partition on the phone and can still connect to lte
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] donatom3:
Doesn't the Evo LTE have a non removable sim that handles LTE registration?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Yes.

I'm wondering whether I need to fix up the line xx: lines or if its some offset I need to clean up.

I reverse an android .apk file using baksmali, then modified the code. (See below). I then recompiled the code using smali, signed the new apk and then install it to an AVD and tested.

I get an error with the app that was never seen before. It gives me a "Force close" error and in the logcat I get this:

[General Questions and Answers] mikpel:
Do you have the original source files also?

It says that there is something wrong with the onCreate() method of A

ctivityCapture class. That error is on 162. row of that source file.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
You're corrupting v3 and v4.

v0 is being used, p0 (implied argument) is v1.

That's the two registers mentioned at the top.

(My apktool 1.4.3 doesnt use ".registers", it uses ".locals" and ".parameter".)

Instead of using v3 & v4, use v1 & v2 and put .registers 4 at the top.

You have to be careful with register allocation when editing smali.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Yeah the company is called Liquipel and they sell this spray that coats all the components with this thin coating of whatever it is, but still don't know if S3 has it, but since Samsung isn't shouting about it I'm guessing not.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trentors:
Of course there is. Xperia active to name one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
This liquipel technology might not work that well.

Leo Laporte of the twit network (www.twit.tv) threw an iphone that was given this liquipel coating into a glass of water and it stopped working.

The s3 might be ok with a splash of water or even a short dip into it, but only if you are lucky. I'm sure its not waterproof and you would likely loose your warranty if it got wet and you wanted a repair.

That video was clearly a fake (or at the least so poorly done that you can't actually ever see the phone near any water), as are most of them. But this one looks pretty genuine:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] MarkyG82:
Hi guys, I'm really confused. I understand the differences between gsm and cdma. What I dont get is how we can have safestrap for cdma but not gsm. Surely this is the better solution for recoveries?

Am I missing something or are we (gsm owners) missing out? I really want to try some custom roms but can't help but think I'm in the poo if something goes wrong.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Its just a naming differ. To GSM razr CWM is called bootstrap.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MarkyG82:
But what I have read is that safestrap and bootstrap are different setups.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
Its not just a name difference.

Safestrap works very differently than Razr Bootstrap even though both are based on Koush's CWM recovery.

Safestrap loads a "Safe" system to the /preinstall partition so that the "unsafe" stock system remains untouched by any modifications.

The reason that it is not compatible with the XT910 is because the /preinstall partition is much smaller than the XT912 and there is not room to put the safe system on it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MarkyG82:
That explains it alot better.

So, the only option we have is bootstrap. In that case, how reliable is the boot to cwm script? I just feel a touch nervous coming from htc and samsung devices where the recovery partition was very reliable and hard to mess the phone up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
It's pretty decent I guess. I've had a ton of times where I've entered bootloop, and CWM on boot really helped. It only doesn't work when you do stupid stuff (like format /system :eek:), but there's always fastbooting.

Just make sure you READ through the posts properly, and you should be fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MarkyG82:
Thanks. I feel alot better now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
A safer bootstrap for GSM/CDMA is coming soon.

I'm working on it right now. I'll try to make it available as soon as ICS is official.
