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.

Anyone using this Rom with cyancore kernel? If not, I'm still gonna give it a shot lol. The theming of this Rom is just crazy.
[Captivate Android Development] BTRL30NTM:
One thing I don't know if its a bug or not but like if I get any notifications and I pulled down the status bar it shows the quick tiles menu not the actual notification. Like I use what's up and I Get a text then If I pull the status bar I see the quick tiles menu not my notification. Thanks besides that this room ROM has come a long way, so smooth and no lag and bad a** themes. Thanks guys.

[Captivate Android Development] They Drew First Blood:
Re: 2.12b

Thanks so much. I've been running the last few versions for a few weeks now, and have been fooling around with the theme editor since it was initially released. I am liking this rom more and more with each release. I wish I had more time to play with the theme editor, but the available themes with the rom are great, and now the ability to mix and match portions of them are a home run. I run the rom with Cyancore kernel, and Nova launcher likes 182dpi better than the stock launcher- I just edit the build.prop to get that resolution. Excellent work! Thanks again :highfive:

Weebo release - 26/06/2013

WEEBO​

What is it?

Weebo is your very own googly eyed personal assistant, but with a twist. He does more than just take care of your reminders, he is able to automate your phone to a whole new level. He remembers your location, be it work or home, and is able to perform various tasks assigned to it without you having to do a single thing.

Weebo lets you go about your life and focus on the more important things while silently and efficiently taking care of the tedious ones.

What is new?

Although Weebo does sport a brand new look, the changes do not remain skin deep. Weebo features many in depth changes so as to facilitate daily user interactions. After collating data and feedback from numerous users, we have finally been able to put forward a compelling and easy to user automation app for your android phones.

Some of the essentials –

Rule Editing

Now simpler and more nuanced, the rule editor screen is a joy to use, both for old users as well as new. Focusing on simplicity and ease of use, the new Rule editor allows you to do the following easily and without any hassle-​

Edit the type of rule, and set a name for it

Icons for both adding conditions as well as actions, thus giving you easy visual cues while setting up a rule

Easier to make creative rules by mixing and matching different icons, and come up with new combinations

Broken Rule Indicators

As simple but useful feature, which as the name suggests, allows you to understand much more easily as to which rules are not functioning properly. In the screenshot, you will see this visual cue depicted as a broken arrow, thus letting you know that something might be wrong with that particular rule.​

UI changes to Locations and Rules list screens

The locations screen now features an option to selectively see what rules are available for you to use. You can choose to see rules based on their particular conditions/usage functions. Initially we have provided the following – Al/Enabled/Disabled/Battery/Location/Sensor/Utility. Also featuring minor improvements is the Locations page, where you can track various different locations depending on your choice.​

Features Coming Soon-

A move towards even more simplicity and ease of use by providing several UI/UX changes.

A brand new update to the location tracker using Google fused location provider.

Many more interesting features in the pipeline.

Please take latest Weebo
