Hey man, so just flashed the newest update..Google play store doesn't open, Google Now search bar has changed to where there isn't an option to press in order to do voice input..maybe that's a new layout, I'm not sure and after applying the update without wiping data/cache/deval couple of my apps did not load,

Stable release is 4.1.2...

There was never official devil kernel released,,, but i think people used 1.6.1 with least problems...

How to install ROM

Hey guys it's been a while since I kept up with my fascinate. I am coming from MIUI 2.3.7 (Old I know, but it works). I followed steps to get unoficial CM10 from JT but now find myself not able to install this rom or any updates through CWM. I can always revert back, but why would I do that? Anyway I have on my phone right now CWM 6.0.1.2, Android 4.1.1, build 10-20120819-Unofficial-fascinatemtd.

Can someone please point me in right direction to install this ROM? I am missing a step in upgrading CWM I beleive (could be wrong though). Tells me "This ROM uses and incompatible partition layout...blah blah blah"

yep...

safety step build in and adopted by ROM developers

new partition layout since around end of september 2012 I think...

You cannot upgrade to the new partition layout without performing a data wipe.

If however you're on the new partition layout all you have to do is wipe cache and davlik cache in recovery before you flash a newer nightly.

Avatar Theme Creator Tool

Avatar Team is proud to present the first beta release of Theme creator tool. It is a QT based desktop application to edit themes.

Themes created using this tool are compatible with Avatar ROM and Cyanogen ROM. Similarly you can edit both Avatar Themes and Cyanogen themes.

Download the theme apk and open it using the theme creator tool. You will see a screen to edit the resources. After editing the resources, save the apk and install on the device.

What you can do with this tool ?

1. There are 1000's of resources that can be themed in Android. We change only a small set of them and if you want to theme more resources you can use this tool.

2. We make some mistakes when creating a theme. Eg: SMS time stamp color was not proper in some of our themes. You can now use this tool to fix it.

3. We cannot satify all the users with a theme. Eg: If you want to have a darker orange shade in denim theme you can now do it using this tool.

4. You can import an existing theme, change some of the resources we modified and you have a brand new theme.

Upcoming features:

1. Ability to create a new theme from scratch.

2. Import MiUi mtz theme file and convert it to theme apk which is compatible with AvatarROM and CyanogenROM.

3. Upload your new themes to our server so it can be used by other AvatarROM users.

04/19/2013 - AvatarROM 2.7b Release

Merged with CM 10.1 M3 build( 14th April )

Changed Error Reporter to send requests to server instead of a google document

New Theme Chooser fixes

Weebo fixes

Support for layout theming

Existing AvatarROM users can update via OTA. Go to Settings-> About Phone-> Avatar updates and hit the refresh button.
[Fascinate Android Development] bippi79:
Avatar Team is proud to present the first beta release of Layout Themeing.

We all have seen how themes change images, icons, drawables, colors etc. But this is the first time you will see how a theme can change the position of UI elements (buttons, labels, etc). Never before an attempt like this was made in the history of Android.

Eg: "Close all apps" button in the recent apps list is on the top-right corner. If you are a left handed user, reaching the top-right corner on a 5 inch phone is not easy. With layout theming, you can move the position from top-right to left-bottom.

Demo:

Lets take up a simple example. We have seen different version of dialer in different operating system. By applying a theme, we can now have the exact same dialer in Android. Not only the buttons look the same, it is also positioned at the exact location.

System UI (System app) - Link

Iphone style (Theme) - Link

Circular dialer (Theme) - Link

Blackberry dialer (Theme) - Link

Recent apps (Theme)- Link

Install Instructions:

1. Push the systemUI.apk to /system/app (Eg: "adb push systemUI.apk /system/app")

2. Install the themes as any normal android application (Eg: "adb install -r iphone.apk")

3. Go to theme chooser and apply your preferred theme

4. Open the dialer and check out how look and feel changes which each theme.

Some Surprises

1. Check out the clock position on the status bar. Yes it is centered. We can move anything to anywhere.

2. In the recent apps theme, we have moved "Close all apps " in the recent apps list from top-right to bottom-left

Layout themeing will be part of AvatarROM soon and we are working on some cool concepts. We would love to hear what you want to see in layout theming. Post your ideas in our feature request page.
