So what is happening regarding the 'Avatar has detected a crash' issue which continues endlessly until you remove the rom? It seems to be the android keyboard crashing but you can't do anything because you need a keyboard to report it etc.

Nice ROM

Hello,

I've been trying this ROM for two weeks now and I do like it. I came from cMIUI and the possibilities with this ROM are coming very close to that one.

I've a question about the theming though. normally in any MIUI ROM I would combine the icons from one theme with the UI (e.g. notification-bar) of another theme. But I seem unable to do this with the stable Avatar 3.0 ROM. Their both in the same category 'Resources'.

I guess this won't change but I still wanted to ask it just to be sure. :)

But overall I do like the speed of the ROM. I've had a few battery draining random reboots but I take that as part of the development progress.

I like how fast this ROM is and has the ability to theme everything like MIUI. Absolutely lovely! Keep the progress going.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bippi79:
When applying a theme, you will have an option to select which component has to be themed (Lockscreen, Boot animation etc).

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Blinkin89:
Yes I know that, thanks for the fast reaction. I meant you can't have the icons of theme A and use the Status-bar of theme B.

If you don't know what I mean see here around 5:24: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBeC5uMo6zw

Again, thanks for the fast reply. :good:

Hi

Using 3.1 Nightly. Great Rom. Battery life is OK. And feature list is awesome. Just wanna report some bugs. If it helps.

1. Weebo is still buggy. Crashed when tried to edit rules.

2. Circle with percentage battery icon is too small to be readable.

3. Center clock is not working.

Not tried all the apps yet. Hope they work fine.

Also wanted to compliment your boot animation. Its fabulous. But dont take it otherwise is there any working way to turn it off. As we flash so many things and with so many reboots it consumes a lot of battery to display such a rich animation. I tried turning it off from stweaks but didnt work. I have latest dorimanx.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bippi79:
There is no way to turn off boot animation. You can use boot animation from a different theme so it will override the rich animation (Eg: Simpsons)

Find out about which apps can run in ART (Android Run Time), the easy way

A quick little post for something we have been working on lately.

Quite a few of you people would have heard about Android Kitkat and the bag of goodies that it brings along with it. One of those important changes though, is very much under the hood. It is called ART or Android Runtime. So what is it, and why is it important to us?

As described by Google, ART is a new Android runtime being introduced experimentally in the 4.4 release. This is a preview of work in progress in KitKat that can be turned on in Settings > developer options. Before this, all these days, every Android application used to run in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine. Dalvik has been written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently. The Dalvik VM executed files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format which is optimized for minimal memory footprint. Now, with Android 4.4, Google has revealed that the Dalvik replacement, called Android Runtime (ART), should improve the performance of Android apps by a huge margin. The early version of ART in Android 4.4 already has been reported to have sped up apps by around 100%, though it is too early to know the whole truth. It might as well be a placebo till then.

ART straddles an interesting mid-ground between compiled and interpreted code, called ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation. Currently with Android apps, they are interpreted at runtime every time you open them up. This is slow. (iOS apps, by comparison, are compiled in native code, which is much faster.) With ART enabled, each Android app is compiled to native code when you install it. Then, when it’s time to run the app, it performs with all the speed and responsiveness of a native app.

Now, a lot of developers as well as enthusiasts will be really interested in this thing. It allows Android developers to continue writing the exact same code, and having their apps work across a wide range of hardware specs and form factors — but now their apps will now run significantly faster, feel more responsive, and your device’s battery life should improve.

And this is where our new website, www.androidruntime.com comes in. Right now, in these initial stages, people are still confused as to which apps can run in ART and which cannot. Our website solves this tiny issue by letting you search for any app, and see if ART supports it or not. Missing an app but you know the answer to the question? You can even contribute and add to the supported app list. We will do a quick verification and update the search results.

Now the website is still in its infancy, but we are sure that a lot of people might be interested in it. So spread the word and do what you guys really do best.

Oh, and have a great weekend!

dead link?

Hi there,

is the link dead? or...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bippi79:
Explanations and facts. Our status as of now.

Lately there has been a lot of confusion as to our approach to AvatarROM and the support scenario for all the various devices. We have had a lot of negative, and must I say, important feedback, and we have also seen a slight wane in our download numbers.

First off the bat, let us lay it out there in front of you that AvatarROM is still up and running and very much alive. There have been a few problems lately, but more about that later. We would like to ensure to our users that our development pattern is still chugging like a well oiled machinery and soon things will be right back on track.

We received a lot of flak for the last 4.3 build that we came out with, which actually had a major flaw in the lockscreen, putting devices into continuous bootloops. Our immediate solution was to advice users not to upgrade at all, and to those who had, to downgrade to the previous build. Although we ended up promising users that we will soon release a new build, unfortunately it never ended up happening. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have not been able to push out a new build to our users, nor have we released any update for all those devices still on 4.2.2. The good news though, is that we will soon have a new build up and running. We are working on it and it should see the light of day soon.

The second problem, and in a way, a more grievous one was that a lot of older builds and in some cases, all the builds for specific device models got erased from our servers, as a result of which new users were never able to download our ROM. This lead to a lot of confusion, and in some cases, agitation that we might be wrapping up, which as we cleared up, is not the problem. We were trying to tweak the back- end servers and in the process, lost a lot of those older images. By the time we could salvage them, it was too late. Currently we are in the process of tweaking the servers (really carefully) and make sure that most of those missing builds are available.

So yes, in a nutshell, we really dropped the ball this time. We will like to thank all our users who stood valiantly alongside us, even though aware of the issues. We are looking into solving all these problems and should be able to alleviate them altogether in the coming days. So please be patient, just for a few more days.

Thanks
