[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
My wife injured her thumb recently and I took two pictures of her hand. One with the Stock ROM and another using CM9 and UCAM, which gave me the best results overall on any custom ROM. I thought I'd share the two pics so you could see the difference that the Stock ROM and Camera combination actually makes.

Both shots have identical lighting and background, etc. You can clearly see the distinction in the two images in terms of quality.

https://picasaweb.google.com/110532...authkey=Gv1sRgCNvT65ykjcnmpwE&feat=directlink

Flash and exposure etc. set to AUTO on both cameras and neither image has been retouched.
[Galaxy S II General] yahyoh:
i have no problem with cm9 stock cam
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
Take the same photo in the same lighting, etc. using the stock camera. Otherwise, there's no way to judge it. I had good shots with the CM9 camera on occasion, but I found that, overall the stock camera beat it nearly every time, and this direct comparison was just an example, so I thought I'd share.

I'd be interested in a comparison shot in the same lighting, etc. using the stock camera on the same SII if you can do it. That's how I did mine. Same device. Different ROM/Camera. This isn't my way of slamming CM9 or custom ROMs, because I loved CM9 while I was running it, and I may go back to it again, but the camera issue is a big one for many, so I thought I'd share the pics to give people a good comparison.
[Galaxy S II General] yahyoh:
ok i will inastall wannam rom just for testing camera :fingers-crossed: :D
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
Cool. I look forward to seeing your results.
[Galaxy S II General] yahyoh:
here we go stock cm camera app :

sammy rom UHLPS :

as i said before there is no deference or maybe i'm blind :p :o
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
I don't see much difference either. The only thing I wonder is if maybe we have different camera hardware modules, because mine does seem to make more of a difference than yours, as my pictures illustrate, particularly in situations where the flash must fill in for shadows, etc. The stock camera does a better job of not blowing them out, as you can see.
[Galaxy S II General] yahyoh:
aha i found it u have old camera firmware

latest one is SCEF02 for our camera module u have SCEE09
[Galaxy S II General] philippe734:
We can see differences, but with only one sample it’s hard to conclude. Me too i really want to see pictures samples between stock and custom rom.

Where we can see another samples of this comparison ?

Have you tried just pushing it to /system/apps/? I remember seeing someone who gave that a shot with Samsung's Memo.apk and it worked fine.

Thanks, I'll try that and report back, but for some reason I assumed it wouldn't be that easy haha.

I hear that LG1 update has removed universal phone search and that is keeping me to upgrade it to LG1.

Can someone please direct me to changelog between LEM (came with the phone) and the new LG1 update? Is it worth upgrading to LG1 at a cost of losing universal phone search?

Hi all guyz.tomorrow i will buy Gnex over my galaxy sl i9003... do you think it is still worth to buy Gnex as its a little older?.. what should i check on it before buying it? I mean i dont want a defect phone.please give some advice....thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brettofamerica:
Honestly, there isn't much you can check except for making sure that the few pieces of hardware work like the earpiece, speakerphone, and microphone.

Here is a link to what the screen should and shouldn't look like: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1394358

Also, make sure you buy from a place where if you do discover a bug that you wouldn't notice until you have used it for a while like a loose wire in the headphone jack, you can swap it out for a new one easily.

Reserved #2 just in case
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Wow....dropped to halfway down page two in a matter of hours. This device needs a separate forum for themes. There's just way too many "app" threads. I've never understood why we need app threads for a specific device anyway.

At any rate, this is my one and only bump. I'm not desperate for attention, just figured it dropped out of sight so quick, hardly anyone even got to see it :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] redmonke255:
Looks good, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] brizey:
Any chance for a CM10 variant?

Is Jr5 and EOS close enough to stock for this to work?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] matrix0886:
n00b here, lol.

A.) this won't cause any issues with an un-themed launcher will it?

B.) you have to be rooted for this, right?

Sorry, i'm a PC themer, so i'm kind of new to the smartphone/tablet themeing thing.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] dadoc04:
+1 on the CM10 build..... this looks awesome
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
A. Nope. Only way you should have the possibility of issues is if you've flashed something else over stock (different rom, mods, possibly a theme). A launcher, or any other app should never affect the theme or vice versa.

You'll notice I used the word "should" a lot there. That's because I make no guarantees. You should ALWAYS make a backup before flashing anything. Flukes happen and you don't want to be the guy having to scramble to find a way to fix their unresponsive phone.

B. Yup, have to be rooted and have CWM or some other custom recovery to flash anything. Rooting really isn't a big deal and can be easily reversed if you need to.

I'll say keeping even one custom rom up to date can be a pain, depending on how often the maintainer updates it. It's very likely I'll be switching from stock pretty soon, I just haven't seen much from the custom roms yet to give me a good reason (my tablet is already "buttery smooth" :D). CM10 will be my most likely choice, but from looking from the commits, it's more AOSP and less CM right now.

As for i working on the other roms, this is an Odexed theme for not. I believe Jr5 allows you to reOdex using an app, so possibly for that one, but if the other one isn't Odexed it definitively won't work.

Thanks, always happy to see people enjoying the theme ;)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] artvandelay440:
Glad to see some original work being added here. Tip O' me hat.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Thanks, and I appreciate you making a theme compilation thread. Seems like we're definitively going to need it for this device.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Xi2wiked:
Transparent & blue.....

Definitely going to flash this! Thanks OP.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mslatter:
Wow, very nice! I noticed when downloading apps, instead of an arrow or something in the upper left corner, it bounces between some weird icon and the voice mail notification icon. Just an FYI, but the theme rocks! Very subtle and clean....great job!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I'd definitely like to fix this, but I'm not sure what you're describing and I don't see it myself. It sounds like this may be the voicemail notification, and since I use youmail I haven't seen it myself. I'll take a look at this possibility, but in the meantime if you could give me a screenshot or something, I'd appreciate it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
So I cant flash this over SGT7?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I'll probably make a deodexed version soon. SGT7 would probably be able to use that until he decides to make the UI selectable in Settings.apk. Then I'd have to make a special version for that rom.

The way I see it we have 3 basic rom types right now. CM10 based, stock odexed, and stock deodexed based. I may try to accommodate all three, but don't be disappointed if I can't support any further branching. Right now I have a few more things I'm looking to tweak before I start to support more roms.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
Isn't SGT7 CM10 based?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mslatter:
Interesting... I went to download a ROM just to be able to take these screen shots. You can see the two icons that flash back and forth as the download progresses. I've included the full versions below just in case the 30Kb versions don't show well. Hope this helps! Either way, it's not a big deal at all!! Just thought I'd let you know =) Great job!

Thank you, I can reproduce it now, but can't explain it :D Seems like JB has changed something that doesn't make sense. Gives me a chance to isolate some image calls that have annoyed me anyway. This may take some time....
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] JimmyHACK:
Nice.. Could we get the bottom nav bar icons blue too?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Yup, that's mostly the kind of stuff I need to work on. I've never themed for a tablet before so that never was an issue. I spent most of my time making all the apps transparent (since tablets use a whole different set of layouts and styles than phones), next is tablet exclusive images.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mrRobinson:

Sorry, haven't tracked it down still. Went ahead and updated the theme since I'm going to be working the next 4 nights.

Added Nav Bar, Lockscreen, and some Status Bar changes. I also need to track down the Google Now images. I have a good guess of where to look, but haven't gotten a chance to mess with it yet.

Anyone know where I can get the stock ROM but rooted ? Every ROM available ,besides bamf, has been slower and laggy then stock. Really want this theme tho
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. One of the perks of having a Google branded phone ;) You'll have to root it yourself afterwards, but that's not a big deal. FYI, I'm hoping to release a deodexed version for most other roms around Wed or Thurs (after I get off night shift).

To everyone else, I've uploaded 1.2.1 with the corrected update_script. Should have Google Now & Play Music working correctly now without any extra effort. I'm really surprised no one complained about it :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] camaro1173:
Hi all first I would like to say that I love the theme and appreciate all the work.

This theme is amazing. I'm new to Android so I'm slowly reading up and watching videos but, when I do unlock and flash something, it's definitely going to be this theme. You did an amazing job.

+1 I have the same problem how do we fix?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MATTHEWLONG:
I would suggest not to use until fixed.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
It obviously isn't an issue for everyone, otherwise I wouldn't have 80+ downloads and only 2 people with an issue after a week.

Anyway, I'll be happy to work with you on this. My guess is that you have some unique signatures on your devices, which I was concerned could become an issue with an odexed rom somewhere down the road.

If you're absolutely certain that you're on stock odexed rom and have not committed any user error, try copying these *.odex files to your /system/app/ folder (Velvet.odex for Google Now and Gmail.odex for Gmail) and set permissions to rw-r--r--. Looks like the following in Root Explorer:

X X O

X O O

X O O

Then reboot.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] camaro1173:
Thank you for getting back to us on this small problem

to answer your question I am running the stock Rom the only thing I have done to it was unlock and root then I found the theme and liked it so I thought I would give it a go. So getting to the point of my response I have gone and installed the odex file for Google now fixed the permissions the good news is that that app starts up now but it FC right away.. Just to let you all so know the Odex file was not in the system apps folder at all I looked for it before pasting yours in.

Any Ideas how to fix FC?

I have gone and checked the permissions just to make sure they are correct and they are. I am at this moment wiping the cache in the search app and rebooting to see if that helps. up date to clearing cache did not help just the same Unfortunately Google Search has stopped

On a good note I never had a problem with Gmail

Thank you once again
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] EnVoYCoOkiE:
My Google Search(Now) also instantly crashes upon opening it just like the above poster. I have the permissions set correctly and everything as well.

I am also on the stock rom with just a root/unlock with Trinity Kernel installed.

Same as camaro1173 when I checked system/app folder there was no velvet.odex file only a velvet.apk file.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MATTHEWLONG:
I am completely stock, just rooted.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Try this deodexed Velvet.apk. You'll need to delete the Velvet.odex from /system/app/ some copy and set permissions method, and definitely reboot.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] EnVoYCoOkiE:
That actually worked TC! Thanks and NICE THEME :eek:.

gmail text issue while composing mail

In gmail, inbox is transparent as expected, but when reading a mail/composing mail, background becomes white. That's not a problem for me though. My problem is when I compose a mail, the characters are so light on the white background that they are not visible at all.

Please let me know of a possible solution.

Thanks for the nice theme by the way.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MATTHEWLONG:
Many thanks for fixing and all your hard work.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kwarner666:
Absolutely stunning!

I do have one minor thing though. I was able to get Google Now working with your deodexed velvet.apk, but I didn't see one for Gmail, and when I installed the one from the Play Store it's not transparent.

Again, this is absolutely stunning - thank you.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
I'm sure the compose email page is something I overlooked. I'll have to find a way to adjust either the background or the text. Google is kinda weird about their layouts. As for the reading email, it's meant to be white. Unfortunately even if it were possible to make the emails transparent, which I don't believe it is since it's html based, anything I changed would be potentially over-ridden by the html code in individual emails. This could easily result in emails that are entirely unreadable, which I'd prefer to avoid. Even making it inverted, which I generally like the look of, is problematic with certain emails that put in code for shades of black text, but don't specify background or vice versa.

If there's an updated version of Gmail, I'll have to update mine as well. Always a pain when google gets on an update kick (for me, not for the community ;)). I just got working a long stretch of 12 hour shifts, but I just slept 14 hours, so I should be good to go now :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] artvandelay440:
Its possible to make the emails transparent- I made one for ICS that was, but it was ugly when you get anything other than plaintext in the email. Its a smali edit.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] htrednek:
Missing Google Now

I'm having the same issue with the missing Google now, unfortunately the links in previous posts (to the goo.im hosted files) are all broken. Can someone post a new link to the velvet.apk (or update the theme as a whole... hint hint... jk)?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Ya...I got an email from goo.im. Apparently when updating their servers there was an incident that caused it to get wiped. I uploaded v1.2.2 (it includes the Google Now Fix). I was hoping to get to the gmail issue as well, but haven't had the time unfortunately.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] TahrirSquare:
I wish it could be applied via theme chooser.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] wmoore:
This is a great theme. I do have the Gmail compose issue though, where you are writing very light grey text on a white background - near impossible to see. Is this a theme problem or a Gapps problem? I'm running the latest Gapps on stock ROM.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MWBehr:
Thanks guys, I'm glad you all enjoy it. To somewhat answer everyone at once, i still plan to work on this, I've just been working a lot of overtime lately. Eventually, I want to make a hybrid theme chooser version like i did with cm9 (in my sig). Basically it would be theme chooser for framework and flashable for some of the apks. That way it should still be universal for cm10 based roms, just a little less convenient.

Unfortunately, that's the best I'll be able to do since theme chooser doesn't support layout edits. When will this happen? When i stop working 8 12s most likely ;)

I love this theme!!

Sadly, now it won't work. Let me explain...

I installed the latest OTA update (4.1.2) with root. Then when I re-apply this theme, it shuts down my System UI. I keep getting an error message that says, System UI has stopped. I've tried going in and clearing data again and reapplying the theme, no luck.

It probably has something to do with missing theme elements since the 4.1.2 update give us landscape mode and the theme didn't have to worry about that before, but I am not sure.

I hope the developer updates this pretty quickly. I'm jones'in for some Glasstopia on my Nexus 7. The stock theme is lackluster and driving me crazy.

WARNING: Do not install this theme if you have updated to the latest 4.1.2 version of Jelly Bean. :(
