I am having trouble installing custom Themes

How can I install MTZ files manually. There are no options in the official Theme app or menu in system settings.

Thanks for the great rom!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bippi79:
You cannot install mtz files directly. It is a proprietary format for MiUi.

We use tools to convert mtz to apk and then install it on CM.

We are facing some problems in merging 4.2.1 source code. So was not able to release it. We did a fallback to 4.1.2 with support for font theming, new themes etc

Will release the update to 4.2.1 soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] croftmx:
Thank you for the response but I was hoping for something more along the lines why im having issues flashing 4.1.2 even. From the limited amount I can do on the rom I like it ALOT. It just keeps saying it has detected a crash and the keyboard wont open at all and it says it crashed also. Over and over. Ive tried flashing siyah 4 before flashing avatar. The wiping before boot even and rebooting recovery with the rom kernal installed and flashing again. No dice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bippi79:
Not sure what is the problem. We have tested on SGH-i777 and never faced this problem. Are you using any custom kernel ?

SGH-i777 is not my primary device. So i don't know much about the configurations. I will wait for someone from XDA to answer your query.

This Rom is sweet. I had to install a very old version of clockwork recovery to get this installed without the error.

The time is always changing, and when it's set to automatically set the time it is incorrect.

Video camera

I have been using the heck out of this mod and so far it is pretty solid. Any issues I have had so far have been all from settings and options, not with the mod itself.

One thing that has come up, and I wanted to check if anyone else has seen it, is the Video Camera. When I switch to Video mode the camera looks like it will work, but when you press the record (red circle) it just is outlined in red, and then goes back to normal. No video is recorded and it doesn't seem there is any adjustment or changes I can make.

Can someone confirm if the Video function works in this mod? I am not yet on the 3/15 version yet, if someone knows if it was changed then I will update.

This appears to be related to the 4.2.2 location finder. Change the setting for auto time zone in the Time and Date section, un check that and then it stays accurate.

I was reading on another ROM that they figured out how to change the destination of the camera, rather then automatically going to the Internal storage. Any idea how to change this, or is this something that is not possible on this build?

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.

4. Html5 based new theme creator tool which is more elegant and user friendly.

As always we love to hear your feedbacks and comments. You might feel little lost with all the resources that are in Android world and we are on standby to help.

If you create a new theme and want to upload to our server, send us a PM and we will give access for you to upload the theme.

Please add a New Theme option, as well as package the app with at least the stock theme. I would love to help, but if I have to download a theme to my phone, then figure out where it stored it, and then transfer it to my computer, I have already spent more time that I really would like.

In the next version, the apk files will be hosted online so you don't need to hunt for it on the phone. The apk file for themes are stored in /data/app and you can extract using "adb pull" command. After that you need to open the apk using the tool and modify the resources.

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.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 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.
