The Avatar Team is proud to present the first beta release of weebo app. It is a Tasker like application which can automate tasks for your phone.

The application comes with pre-defined set of 20 common rules but you can add your own rules in sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/weebo) and it will be automatically picked up by the application. To activate a rule, click on the corresponding rule (rule will get highlighted)

The rules are simple XML files and you can find more info here.

Download link - Here (Push the apk as system app)

Example:

<rules>

<rule name=”Office enter settings” desc=”When you enter office, Switch on my WiFi”>

<conditions>

<wifi state=”off”/>

<location state=”enter” name=”work” />

</conditions>

<actions>

<wifi state=”on”/>

</actions>

</rule>

There is lot of work going on to make the app better and your feedback will help us a lot.

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.

This looks nice. Going to give this a try. Props to the devs. =-}
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 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.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shaboobla:
I was anxious to try this out, but your updater script won't allow it to install on my Canadian device. The Canadian S3 devices aren't d2att, they are d2can, and your ROM won't install. I tried to manually edit/remove that and repack and install, but it still wasn't working for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spooner2007:

WarmSpring Theme

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kyrue:
After reading all the positive reviews, I believe that my problem must be my own doing. I'm currently having some pretty major freezing issues switching from app to app. The screen is also remaining black after pushing the power button but the buttons are illuminated and have touch feedback. This happens roughly 33% of the time and a hard reset fixes it temporarily. I'm also getting SD card reading errors, constantly saying blank SD card, then a few minutes later it can read the SD just fine. I must have done something wrong, but not sure what.

my install looked like this:

Wipe cache --> dalvik --> factory reset --> system --> install ROM.

Installed 3 times now with same results, so obviously I'm making an error with something.

How do I install this on my Canadian s3? Since my build prop doesn't say d2att, it fails to install. The Rom has a script that prevents non att devices from installing it. Can the Rom developer allow Canadian s3s as well? Or is there a workaround?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5qcnVtbXkuYXBwcy5idWlsZC5wcm9wLmVkaXRvciJd

find your d2can build prop in there, change it to d2att?

then maybe after, change it back to d2can

Just a suggestion

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Just flashed this rom this morning. Very nice. The one issue I've had so far is that, while docked, by device rebooted on its own a couple of times. Not sure why.

One issue I've found: If I use an alternate theme (e.g. MiBADGE) and then set the Lock screen => Screen security => Screen lock to "Slide" (in order to keep the regular 4.2 lock screen appearance and function), it gets lost upon reboot, changing the setting back to "Theme" and thus using the theme's lock screen. Since one of the greatest features of this rom is the variety of themes, I'd like to see it corrected so the lock screen settings "stick".

I've also requested, on the feature page, the ability for the Bazooka launcher to include apps in its gestures options, like Nova does, so that it can be used to invoke apps like Screen Off and Quick Boot.

Great all around app. Thanks.

I'm having a problem with the stock sms message bubbles. If the theme uses white text for the sms body, I can't see my messages when I open up the text thread.
