Thanks Andy! I now have a nice ICS blue clock. Things work so much better when you don't leave out crucial steps. I obviously didn't do enough reading first since I didn't realize the part about the META-INF and the Original AndroidManifest.xml files needing to be added before I copied the apk back to my system/app folder. Its so nice when there is someone like you to help educate the rest of us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ufjay5:
Dude..you are a God
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Nono. Just a simple, kind man, who is sometimes judged the wrong way, but I do really care for everyone out there and esp. to my loyal users.

I like helping out, but I also like watching others get the excitement and joy that you feel when you accomplish the task you put at hand. I wouldn't ever want to take that away from anyone, which is why I love to help out. When I first started out I was promised by a VERY well know DEV that he would show me the ropes. As he quickly learned, I am a VERY quite learner. You tell me how to do something, it sticks and then I can learn and expand from that. So, basically he used me for fixig things, but never helped me learn. He is a selfish prick that only cares about himself and his donations. Anyone who is a loyal follower of this jerk is LOST. I won't tell you guys who this person is out of respect. So, as much as I really do love helping the community out and getting these MODs out, I totally respect anyone trying to learn and will do my best to help you guys learn, BUT I WILL NOT TELL you how to do something, or just tell you what how and were to find/edit things. This is the hardest part of the Android editing, and for someone to spend 10-20 hours to figure something out, they don't really want to part with the goods, I sure as hell wouldn't.. but like I do tell those that ask I WILL do it for you, so I get the credit deserved.

but truth be told.

Google is MY BEST friend in this Android game. If it's not on Google then it's a pretty hard MOD, and no one else has tried it, usually. There's a VERY good chance that someone else has gotten stuck in the same place you did, and they posted a solution on Google, it's VERY helpful.

If you can't find it on Google, that's when you know you are either going into a project that will bang your head against the wall, or just work on something else because unless you are prepared for about 30 hours of one single MOD, do something easier, and then move up.

for me I WON'T stop until I get that MOD done, as you've seen.. - I fixed call/message block and blocking mode 100% for VZW using ALL VZW .apks, I'm pretty proud of myself for this, it was by far the hardest thing and most satisfying MODs I have achieved to date.

I do this for the community, but also for myself, this stuff is very interesting to me, and it's a challenge, that once I finish it gives great feelings of joy, and accomplishment. I didn't find that in my other field or work (business). Hence why I'm slowing down and getting myself into a field that I am happy with and good at.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
But that's why you enjoy it. It's not work or a job, it's something you enjoy doing and lucky for us you share. And I agree, I love google just as a true open source company. It's amazing what you can find when you search. And there are even tons of tutorials on youtube as well that have helped me tremendously.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
See man, you truly do understand me. :)

I just want to take a Second here, since XDA likes to limit the amount one can hit their "Thanks" button, I am always out, so I wanted to just officially say

Thank You

for being around when I'm not, answering questions, helping people out, supporting me in every way and just generally being an awesome person to have around and as a friend. I know it means a whole hell of a lot to me and I know the users truly do appreciate it as well. :good: :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
When you flashed that, did you lose the battery icon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
I just try to help out people that have helped me. I'm new at this and I myself just like tearing into new new stuff so I learn what was done. I try to help out on your threads here because obviously you can't always be here to answer every question because then 0 mods would get done. Lol. Glad I can help out when I can and your appreciation makes it all worthwhile. :D

I am just a simple ol flasher (that sounds bad) but wanted to give it a whirl. I am going to try again before I flash your zip. thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
it should work on all the AOSP themes since I did it in a VR Theme but I can't promise it'll work on anything except what I tested it on, and that is v1.8.3

I am assuming that anything with the Multi-Mod ROM control may need a diff one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
I got ya. I'm on your 2.1 so maybe that was the issue. I only tried it once, wiped the caches first and the battery icon went away. I just nandroid a back up so maybe I'll give it one more go just to make sure if flashed right. Thanks, Andy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cynikalJ:
Is there any possible way you can add the Xperia Z lockscreen to this mod. That lockscreen is awesome and I love this mod on cleanrom.

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zhp pilot:
Nice work andy. Don't make it around here very often any more but threw on cleanrom just to try the theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ufjay5:
I am 2.1 and yes I did loose the battery icon. Now what do I do to get it back? I am going to pull my hair out for a blue clock!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nsaechao:
I just reflash the 2.1 theme to get the battery back. But loose the blue clock. Maybe if we cried softly somehow and if Andy have the time he could put it all in one zip for us.. 2.1, blue bat and signal. I really like this mod as well

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
If I was at my comp. I could get it done faster than i type this post.

I'll make a new .zip for people on v1.9 and +
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
Andy, thank you again for the assist on rebuilding apk's correctly. I have been able to change my clock color, change the transparency of my status bar, and add the Bubble Clock option to the battery list (I even found the right place to change the name so it is listed correctly). Just about the only "missing" link for me is removing the Brightness Slider. I've looked at some examples but they seem to be slightly beyond my current beginner status. I know you are concentrating on other things in your life but if you ever decide you just need to do a little more with this theme I would really appreciate you either updating the remove slider to work with 2.1 or, even better, porting loserskate's mod to provide a switch in settings to toggle it on or off. There is obviously no rush, what you are doing with your life at the moment is much more important.

Thanks again for the help and I hope things are going well with your new plans.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
That'll only take me dew mins. simple add-on, I'll get it updated soon.

Thank you. You are truly one of the most responsive devs as well as being very talented. Its easy to tell you care about what you do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kujayhawks77:
You're awesome. I didn't even pay attention to the 1.8.3 comment and poof went my battery icon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DCThunder:
If you want to remove the brightness slider yourself, in SystemUI, res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml, change layout_height of brightness_controller to 00.0dip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ufjay5:
I can't figure out this blue clock mod. I am going to be bald soonfrom ripping my hair out!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
If you want to PM me I will be happy to walk you through what I did to change the clock color.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Thank you, this is just what I needed. I never thought to look for the layout height as a solution. A very simple change once you know where to look, I was trying it make it much harder and having no luck.

I appreciate the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Will be adding some add-ons tonight.

1) blue clock for v2.0 and + (needs to be tested, VR theme)

2) Patch for Settings.apk to show "Normal" rather than "Unknown" in Status (make sure you download the correct .zip)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nsaechao:
Would the blue signals be included too :)

I flashed the 2.0+ ICS Clock and lost the battery icon again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
that's strange, thank you for testing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I thught that one worked on both, not sure tho
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
I am on 2.1 and those blue icons do work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
The device status to normal mod works fine on 2.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
I have done a forum search and can't find what I'm looking for. Is there a mod that will allow you to select the apps that are on the AOSP lockscreen like you can with the TW lockscreen that will work with this theme?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
no.. do you mean the "shortcuts"..?

if so that's an entirely different MOD.

the stock lockscreen has the shortcuts built in, for AOSP it either, just unlock + Camera, or what I added, unlock, Camera, Phone, SMS..

I suppose one could change the phone and SMS and even Camera, but that's not something I know how to do really.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nsaechao:
Just curious..

Just wanted to follow up if there was a fix for this

Clean Rom 6 R2 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
next release will have AROMA :)

this will have options for like

menu2kill

blue clock

brightnesss slider,

stuff like that.

should make things a bit more easier for us.

hopefully I can get it down to just 2 .zips, maybe even 1

(for those that want ROM Control, and those that don't)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
Yes I meant shortcuts. I figured out they were built in but thought someone might have done a mod to let you choose what shortcuts you have like in the settings for the TW lockscreen. Not a problem, I was just curious. Thanks for the clarification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nsaechao:
Ur the man.. :thumbup:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
This next release will include Aroma thanks to the help from 24ky

this is only for those on v1.8 (this does not include ROM Control, that will be in next release, v2.3.)

this will have the options for:

Menu2kill/Volume mod/volume mod + menu2kill/stock

100% True VZW Blocking Mode:

either the 4.1.1 .apks or stock 4.1.2 .apks

brightness slider:

keep it/remove it

clock color:

stock/blue

signal icons:

stock/blue

lidroid toggles:

5/6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sob372:
Flashed the new release and signal color won't change to blue. Flashed and reflashed and did wipes every time anything else I should try?

The aroma is awesome BTW thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Think of this as a beta release for Aroma, I'm still perfecting the code, unfortunately right now, if u choose say, blue clock, and then try blue signals, it will pick signals and overwrite blue clock. fix will be coming soon hopefully :)

EDIT: OK, now that I have AROMA working 100%, new v2.2 is uploading now, and v2.3 I am working on :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
If you downloaded v2.2 please re-download it.

also v2.3 is uploading.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Anyone get this for the alarm widget or can anyone test it for me? I'm on 2.2. I will try 2.3 when uploaded an see if it still does it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
umm, it works for me, so I am going to say that it's because you aren't using the stock Launcher?

and 2.2 and 2.3 are identical besides the ROM Control.. choose lockscreen, battery on fly..

so nothing in 2.3 will fix your issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Now Stock launcher....maybe I'll try flashing again. Idk. I'll wait for 2.3 I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
weird.. not it's not working for me, nice find man. not sure why it's doing that :(

must be something from me editing the clockpackage.apk I'm guessing. If u really need it u can flash a stock clockpackage.apk, it won't be themed, but the widget *ShoulD* work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I pushed the clock apk to system/apps(overwrite the current one) and fixed permissions an rebooted. Its now fixed. No idea what happened but in case anyone has the same odd issue, that fix works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
v2.3 is HOT
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
yea like I said it will fix it.., but the clock.apk will not longer be themed, so it's either, widget or themed .apk right now.

what happened is I edited the .apk to theme it and it is causing issue with the widget, so unfortunately nothing I can do, so take your pick. I'll make it an Aroma option maybe for those who really want this widget if enough people request it.

Id like some more ideas for Aroma, if you have anything you would like added let me know :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Oh yeah didn't realize that. Oh well lol I'm guessing not many people use the widget so I'd just leave it themed. I could be wrong but idk.

I will definitely try an think of some things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ufjay5:
I just flashed 2.3 Avs then reflashed aosp mms Avs now messaging is fc as well as com.android.phone.

I did blue clock blue signals..6 lidroid mod...so frustrating
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
This question is actually frustrating. I am sorry but I can only support what I made... I have nothing to do with that MOD. And fwiw, it worked for me, and I've posted how numerous times and I would again but I don't remember how and on my phone and not searching for it. Please only post problems with the theme, feel free to PM me about things outside the theme. Maybe I can work the mod into Aroma option in next release..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I was just gonna say, what about the aosp MMS? I've had my issues using it with this theme but I've ditched it because this theme is irreplaceable. But, if you got theme working nicely together with aosp mms, that would be a huge step. Just a suggestion. Then possibly an inverted version as well. Just ideas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay Evans:
You probably missed the flashing back to stock TW mms step.

Backup messages

Nandroid

Flash back to TW mms & reboot

Flash 2.3 & reboot

Flash AOSP mms & reboot

Restore messages
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ufjay5:
I'm try that..thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
ok guys one last update coming that should hold over for a bit, unless you guys come up with more requests to add into Aroma,

adding the option to choose AOSP SMS, or stock TW SMS.

picking AOSP SMS will delete your messages so back them up first.

Just tried v 2.3 and removing brightness slider does not work for me. I tried selecting both 'yes' and 'no' and either way it didn't do for me. Anyone else have this problem or is this user error on my part?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
awesome. thanks man. Will keep an eye out for the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
nice find, will be fixed for v2.5 :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I wouldn't know where to start :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
What is nice about having Aroma, is if you want to say put blue clock on and stock signals and remove the slider, just re flash the theme, and select the options you want. The only thing you can't do, well you can do it, just not through a single flash, you need to delete some files, I could add it into the Aroma script but I don't like how it would work..

Once you choose AOSP Messaging, if you want to then go to Inverted AOSP Messaging that is NO problem, BUT if you want to go back to stock TW Messaging, then you would need to before flashing the theme again, delete the same thing you would need to do as if adding the AOSP messaging, like it says in this thread here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086834

On your device, navigate to

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

and delete the three files:

mmssms.db
mmssms.db-shm
mmssms.db-wal

They completely removed the code for it in Smali even adding the code back like I have done on note2 doesn't work.. Works on n2 but not s3 I mean I can get it to say call recording on s3 but the actual recording functionality never works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Thanks man. you always come thru like that. if you get a chance can you PM Scott with that info, he was looking for someone to do it for CR. And with the info you provided, it's obviously out of the question. thanks man.

Can you guys think of anything else to put into Aroma, I hate having to upload the files (they're getting big!) and making you guys have to re-download like every other day. Aroma is starting to make MUCH more sense to me and it's fun learning it. I would like any ideas for requests to be added.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
v2.6/v2.7 will be out soon

added options in Aroma:

added a logo and changelog

option for transparent status bar,

white/stock cyan toggle color

number of toggles show up to 7

option to remove/ keep toggle text.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DCThunder:
Transparent status bar.

I have been doing this myself but adding it via the Aroma install would be a lot quicker.

Oops...you're a step ahead of me! Just keeps getting better....thanks!

Hey andybones, thanks for this update but there's an issue with the background and hyperlink in the blue dialogue box. Is there any way to change the colors?

thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
thats an AOSP app , sorry but i dont support those. never edited them

I can really only edit whats I've done, I just added that into Aroma cos i was sick of everyone complaining they cant get it to work.

I'll dig in, but no promises :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
sorry guys looks like I got ahead of myself with the trans pull down, I'll keep working on it.

but as of now I think the Aroma covers all the basic things needed that were just clogging the thread with add-ons and confusions.

Once I get better at scripting I'll be able to do more, but keep in mind I just learned this about 2 days ago, and I had ZERO experience with scripting, it's not too ahrd, just very time consuming, and unfortunately, time is not what I have
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hmoobguy:
Oh ok, that's fine. thanks for the clarification:good:.

any other requests?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
It personally doesn't bother me but possibly an option for removing the text under the toggles so its just the icon? Maybe some people would like that. I may give it a shot if you do it but just an idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
oh yea I added that in too :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
This next release should be pretty neat, I've been putting in a lot of work getting the dimens correct for the transparent pulldown.

so it doesn't look like this

I was so sick of that spot above the toggles being trans too, so that is fixed :)

you can now choose toggle button color, cyan or white, or choose to remove the button, as well as remove the text if you so please. Aroma is amazing, the options are endless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:

I posted instructions on AOSP messaging in the FAQ in post #3... please follow that, I CANT STAND the AOSP messaging questions, I don't use it, I didn't make it, and so I CAN'T support it.
