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.

The new update fixed everything for me. Runs great. Fast and smooth and best of all no fc at all.

Nice work.

Sent from the other side!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Anybody know what's going on with this theme creator link for windows. Like no one has said anything about it at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Swipe isn't working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bippi79:
It was a busy week with lot of releases. Next week we will release the video about weebo and theme creator as promised.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Ok cool. With this update swipe isn't working. How can I fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Swipe is working. Didn't realize I had to install the gapps my mistake.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Ok like heres a update on this weebo situation. Finally got it to recognize this WiFi on rule. But when I stepped out the house it didn't turn off. It did the normal "no WiFi connection" thing instead of just shutting off. This is for those who actually having the same issue as I'm having.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Seems like no one is leaving posts on this thread so I will. A update on this weebo situation I'm having. So when I got home WiFi didn't come on as expected even though I set the rule for it to. So I had to fool around with the weebo settings for it to actually recognize the command. I'm better of just putting the WiFi on and off manually. Not knocking the guys who developed the weebo app but its just not working for me and no one has commented on it to fix the problem so its just a no go for me :thumbdown:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chucky80:
Great ROM, only issue is weebo keeps crashing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Is weebo working for you as far as following the rules you command it to do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bippi79:
Some info on weebo - http://avatarrom.com/introducing-weebo-one-automation-app-to-rule-them-all/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
I have a question though. How come I have to go into settings to reset my location for weebo to recognize it? When I was testing the WiFi on when I reach home rule I noticed I had to fool around with the settings in order for it to automatically put it on, I didn't automatically go on when I reach home. Nor did it turn off automatically when I left, had to do it manually. Just curious.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chucky80:
Nope.

Do we need to wipe for 2.8b or can we just flash over the last update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
2.8 isn't stable at the moment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xeonbuilder:
Been good for me so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
I've been getting a lot of force closing with the Bazooka launcher. I don't know why.

I always used apex. but I havent gotten any FCs yet.

If you are moving from an old Avatar build to 2.8b without a wipe

Try clearing data of Bazooka

Drag down Status bar -> Toggles page -> Settings -> Apps -> All -> Bazooka -> Clear data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Schnadam:
I ran the update off the update launcher in avatar. Bazooka raped me repeatedly with FCS. Had to wipe everything and start from scratch. Everything seems good now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Wow had to start from scratch!!!! Downloaded it from the OTA in settings and I'm getting the same thing. Really don't want to start from scratch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Tried it and Google play store force closes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Had to go back to 2.7 more stable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chucky80:
This update is stable but you have to do a fresh install to avoid fc. I flashed over last version and got fcs. After I wiped data factory reset, and flashed clean, everything is fine. Might want to put in the op to do a clean install for this version. Great work and awesome update. Battery so far is great too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
I did a clean install and still getting bazooka fc before I even hit the main screen.

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 AM ----------

My mistake. When I did a clean install Google play store would fc and when I tried installing it over 2.7 bazooka launcher would fc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Here's a update. Did a clean install and works fine so far. Must've been a bad download.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chucky80:
Awesome ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
It is an awesome ROM. I guess everyone is doing just great with it (even Shakim24) because no-one has posted anything for about a week now.

Unfortunately, I cannot use this nice ROM because I was unable to use my Wi-Fi Tether, but I like to keep up with it in case someone comes up with a news/workaround.

Meanwhile, enjoy!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtwconsulting:
Installed this yesterday and it looks like it will be a great ROM so kudos to everyone that put this together.

I am seeing one problem though, it's not recognising my SD card :( When I am in recovery it's fine, no problems, but once I am into the ROM itself it's not being recognised. Unmounting the SD card can sometimes cause the phone to crash and reboot.

My photos and music is on the SD card so that means no music, no photos :( :(

Noticed there is another update, no mention of any SD card fixes but I will give 2.13b a try now.

Great work.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Tried 2.13b and still having the same issues with the SD card. Every now and then it tells me that the SD card has been unexpectedly unmounted! Card was working perfectly fine prior to installing this rom. Anyone else having issues with SD cards? I went back into recovery and I was able to browse the card to no problem at all. Very weird.

Also, how does one do a sprint profile update? I was looking in settings but couldn't seem to find that option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lopezpm:
Back up. Go back to a tw Rom for profile updates. Then come back. You can't do profile updates, Prl updates, etc. on non touch wiz roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtwconsulting:
Ok, thanks...didn't realise that! My profile was up to date prior to flashing this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lopezpm:

I have also noticed that my bluetooth devices (car and headphones) are not connecting automatically after being paired. I have to manually connect them via system settings.

Anyone else seeing this issue? A minor annoyance but once a bluetooth device is paried it should connect automatically when turned on.
