Explanations and facts. Our status as of now.

Lately there has been a lot of confusion as to our approach to AvatarROM and the support scenario for all the various devices. We have had a lot of negative, and must I say, important feedback, and we have also seen a slight wane in our download numbers.

First off the bat, let us lay it out there in front of you that AvatarROM is still up and running and very much alive. There have been a few problems lately, but more about that later. We would like to ensure to our users that our development pattern is still chugging like a well oiled machinery and soon things will be right back on track.

We received a lot of flak for the last 4.3 build that we came out with, which actually had a major flaw in the lockscreen, putting devices into continuous bootloops. Our immediate solution was to advice users not to upgrade at all, and to those who had, to downgrade to the previous build. Although we ended up promising users that we will soon release a new build, unfortunately it never ended up happening. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have not been able to push out a new build to our users, nor have we released any update for all those devices still on 4.2.2. The good news though, is that we will soon have a new build up and running. We are working on it and it should see the light of day soon.

The second problem, and in a way, a more grievous one was that a lot of older builds and in some cases, all the builds for specific device models got erased from our servers, as a result of which new users were never able to download our ROM. This lead to a lot of confusion, and in some cases, agitation that we might be wrapping up, which as we cleared up, is not the problem. We were trying to tweak the back- end servers and in the process, lost a lot of those older images. By the time we could salvage them, it was too late. Currently we are in the process of tweaking the servers (really carefully) and make sure that most of those missing builds are available.

So yes, in a nutshell, we really dropped the ball this time. We will like to thank all our users who stood valiantly alongside us, even though aware of the issues. We are looking into solving all these problems and should be able to alleviate them altogether in the coming days. So please be patient, just for a few more days.

Thanks

I know it's been quite some time since you asked but could you tell us some details on the steps you did. Giving no info would mean no help at all. I suspect you're comming from a stock rom which means you're running Philz kernel, right? If so, flash RAW kernel (for instance), reboot your recovery (not device) and perform your full wipe and then rom flash. Full wipe would mean to manually format your /system besides factory resetting (it wipes data and cache). Good luck.

Hi, I have some serious issue regarding my galaxy note.

I have my phone standby this afternoon and out of nowhere, it died on it's own. I tried to bring it back on but it always die after boot. I plugged in my charger and it can work like normal. When I plugged my charger out, it turn off on it's own after several minutes. I tried to boot into CWM and it not died on its own. I tried to reflash the ROM, full wipe, restore, but no use. It always dies after galaxy note wording screen. I'm desperate for any other explanation possible, since I know it's not dying in CWM mode, so it shouldn't be a battery problem?

I use avatar ROM 3.13 nightly by the way. I have tried reflashing and full wipe.

Thank you for the help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] NoteboyTech:
Maybe your battery died.. you stated that your device runs perfect when plugged in and dies when charger is removed.. so battery problem brother

. Get a new battery

But it's alright when in CWM mode. Is it though? Thanks for the answer. Will consider. :)

R: [ROM][JB] [4.1.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note (N7000) - Updated [Feb 2, 201

I just tried....no problems for me. Did you try to reflash the ROM?

Anyway,instead of pull off the battery,try to hold vol up + power button for a while, the mobile should reboot itself. But I repeat,I don't have this issue with flash
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] 32dave:
Ya i tried holding the button down to reboot just stayed at a black screen. It seems to be working now but when i take a picture with the flash the screen has wide lines come through it after i take the picture i believe as it saves to my external SD card then is fine again. It doesn't do it without the flash and takes a good picture

Dude, some post ago I asked you if I could use miui themes that I already downloaded on my sd long time ago. I checked and they are MTZ files, instead of the APK files of your rom's themes. I tried, with no special hope, to put those mtz files on my mobile, but theme chooser doesn't recognize them ofcourse. Is there a way to convert MTZ to APK in order to use every miui theme with bazooka launcher?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nokiamodeln91:
looks amazing bippi79
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bippi79:
We have some python scripts to do the conversion. We are writing a tool in QT and also in html5 for a user friendly conversion of mtz to apk file.

Its still in progress and will released in few weeks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] anubis1126:
Quick question in the file manager i look in external sd and it see,s nothing but this is where i have all my apk,s backup for install after a rom flash is there anything i can do to get this working as i do like your rom thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Ravensysteam:
MTZ into apk? This is madness! :D In the meanwhile, maybe we could have a vote for the best mtz-themes to be converted? The Micrease theme e.g. is by far the best one imho...

Looking forward to it!

I would be grateful :)

R: [ROM][JB] [4.1.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note (N7000) - Updated [Feb 10, 20

Bippi, I downloaded some of new themes, but there is some layout error. For example,if you use Irongate theme with its proper lockscreen, you can easily see the problem. I guess it's caused by note resolution, while themes are for lower res, but I'm not sure.

Note: I didn't update my ROM to your latest...

EDIT: I read now the changelog for the new ROM version, so maybe you fixed that layout problem already. I will update the ROM tomorrow and I will check it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bippi79:

Bippi, any news about the program to convert mtz theme files (original miui theme file) into apk, in order to use them with your rom?

Regards!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bippi79:
We are still working on the tool. We have a beta version planned for this week release.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bippi79:
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 feeddback will help us a lot.
