posted v1.4 on the Team Site for those that want a go at it, might work on it some more in a few days, but I've been running what I got and lovin it. only work I'd do from here on out would be a few apps, like clock package etc. kernel, tweaks and theming are done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jrdoctor:
I'm for sure going to give this a go. Looks good.

Should work just fine. Will give it a go in a min(haven't tried yet), I'll eventually update the framework part of it to fh13, but I didn't really see any dif between ff18 and fh13 for that...

Yes I should work. I like the teal better but I tried it out on 1.3 and it worked perfect.

Ok maybe out don't on 1.4, i have a mix of teal and red. But it's all good

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Yes you will have both. As sleshepic said in 2nd post that is wasn't completely themed red.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jrdoctor:
Thanks for that. I didn't see that. But still looks good so I'm not worried.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Yeah no problem. :) I does look awesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Yeah I didn't have the same amount of time to spend on the red theme to overwrite the themed app icons. So there will be some teal icons still, all the apps are themed however so you shouldn't see any teal apps. The apps that remain teal after the theme flash are the ones I only did the icons for, if that makes sense.

Also, think I mentioned before, the red and blue colors are exact hex compliments of each other so I think they go nicely in the meantime

I'm on teal right now, always miss the little radioactive spinner thingys :)

Finally have some time tonight to play around a little. Not sure if I even wanted to spend it updating to FI03, anyone have a much better experience with it over FH13 to make it worth it? I've heard about the 4G fix. Anyway, might just amp up the FH13 build...

If you happen to be theming icons, could you please do up a few by request? I would love to have roam control, xda premium, google authenticator icons.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Good job slesh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
next time I'm working on it I'll try to get those done. For a paid app the best way for me to do that would be just get the icon to you and you could push it to the proper location. Sometimes they are in drawable-hdpi, other times in mipmap-hdpi(or even sometimes in drawable). If/when I get em done I'll tell ya where.

I just found it funny you said awesome signal and your picture showed you were roaming lol

Nice, I was just thinking I wanted to try something little more green.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zero Night:
How do we get live wallpapers back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
There are a few live wallpaper apk's included in the stock rom, you'd just have to push them back to your phone. I'm at work so I cant post right now, but you could prob just pull em out of any of the ff18 deodexed roms.

Can't wait for my next day off, will def get some add-ons up in the OP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nuenjin:
Yeah . . . I'm gonna need you to go ahead and quit your 'other' job so you can get some more work done around here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingcaliyone:
Does it let u download all the apps from tha market
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Here are the two live wallpaper apks. Push to system/app and set permissions

I've noticed the new market has issues with random apps downloading. To make it work unmount SD card, download app, then once its done installing re-mount SD card.

Been having this issue for a while now, but I can't get my Bluetooth to connect to anything. Most times it doesn't even find nearby devices. Sometimes it will work but I have to shut my bt down and switch it back on repeatedly. Not sure how I can help you help me, so any suggestions are welcome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
can take a look at it later, its possible I took something out during debloat(I never use Bluetooth so it may have slipped my mind). Thought I left it in but I'll check.

made a mod for that, just tested it in ##3282# and it's working. right now it only works if your running my new pulldown animation (classes.dex in the systemui is dif from release apk). Will make another soon, but I can post the 1x/3x mod if anyone wants it in the meantime and is running pulldown animation, or just shoot me a pm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdss:
That is a sweet pulldown,how do I make it transparent?

Thanks sleshepic
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
to make the black areas transparent would take ALOT of work, and would prob more like require the intial image sequence to be built for it. I looked around for something like that, cus it's actually what I wanted to do, but it ended up being too much for the day :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdss:
Thanks sleshepic, maybe I was asking the wrong question, before I flashed the animation zip, when I did a pulldown I could still see the home screen, now I can't
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
That's because the animation images don't have transparancy in them like the original pulldown background did. Maybe instead I'm not explaining myself right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdss:
That makes sense, I understand and thanks for explaining, really enjoying this rom :beer:

I just re-installed your rom and the battery icon came back but when I added the animated pull down, the icon disappeared. I didn't notice this before but it probably was already missing when I tried to install googlenow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AG1983:
I have no battery icon :(:( I flashed the animated pull down zip. I don't know what happen but if anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated tia
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
You can prolly blame me, it might be the 1x/3g mod he added for me. :( I tried adding the mod to Agat's rom and every time I got it working I borked up the theming or lost the battery.

do a reboot or two, should be just fine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
So I didn't need to fall on the sword after all?? LOL

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pimpcasso:
This rom is nasty. I love your work. Team Venum wins every time. But I would like a battery icon. I rebooted multiple times. Should I reflash?

---------- Post added at 02:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

I see the zip is on the way, I will be patient. It's like driving a Bugatti with a broken gas gauge
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
The battery issue is something I haven't seen since like the FE22 builds, but I've also never had it be a prob past a reboot or shutdown. Perhaps a reflash might help? Its a stumper cus I wrote all the battery xml's and public entries right, an I got it fine on mine. Next time I have a chance I'll try doing a recompile with a dif tool and see if it helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Is everyone having the battery issue or just some? Under what conditions? I'll flash it fresh and do whatever is needed and see if I get it too. If you can even throw a quicky together with the mods baked in I can test that stuff too. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pimpcasso:
I think it only happens when you flash the notification drop down animation mod. I believe it was fine before that. It has come back now though. My battery drained dead and I rebooted again, and it's there now. I'll let you know if I have any more issues. Thanks for the response.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Yeah its not happening to people flashing the rom, just the pull down animation add on. And as far as the modded one for 1x/3x, cyberpods2, I'll upload it tonight after work. Have it on my phone but don't have good enough service to DB it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lsmosdef:
i just recently installed this rom today, and in this order.... rom, hotspot hack, pulldown animation mod and then kernel and no battery icon here either...roms running great but sucks not being able to see battery icon... hopefully its the pulldown mod...using beautiful widgets witha battery icon for now but its not the same lol.... great work non the less
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Hotspots hack is built in already, should put that in OP....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lsmosdef:
yeah i didnt know if it was or not which is why i installed it either way its all good ....but on a good note i just rebooted three times in a row and i got my battery gauge back..very weird but a relief..just giving you a heads up..

can anyone verify that voicemail is working for them...doesnt seem to be working for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Voicemail working fine here. If you continue having issues I wonder if it would have something to do with the hotspot hack you flashed. It was built for a previous version.

And yeah its weird how reboots help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lsmosdef:
yeah it could be, u never know...when i get a chance , imma odin back to el26 and re flash all over without the hotspot hack to see if that could be it... thanks for the responses man, quick question, do i have to flash the newest kernel or does it come pre installed on ur rom just so i know what steps i should take..and is recovery safe???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Recovery is safe, and newest version of kernel comes with rom. So you could just flash rom over again just wiping dalvik and cache, or if you want a full fresh install just wipe from included recovery. Been using it for weeks for all my stuff. Should do it for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdss:
I flashed rom then pulldown mod twice now and still have battery icon, just saying, don't know why some are having problems

The 4g snooze is something you can fix by changing your own wimax settings. I'm only really able to mess with wifi a bit with the rom. If you want your wimax settigs changed there's a thread for it in general. Can change scan intervals, disconnects etc.
