Can the dialer in this ROM be replaced? For some reason I have gotten way too used to the MIUI dialer, the nice clean button look instead of the huge number look found in other ROMS. I believe I can just get another dialer from the market but then migrating call log data probably would work so well.

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.

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.

Upcoming features:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 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.

With the latest 2.8b, has the camera issue get fixed on video calling (when using voip apps like skype , gtalk, vonage e.t.c)?

Did the new version take away the option to boot into recovery from the power menu? Now, all I see is "Reboot" and choosing it reboots the phone straight away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] askpcguy:
Press build version in Settings > About Phone six times to enable developer options then enable extended reboot menu. Read back I forgot how many pages, it was discussed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Eyedoctor2:
When you first load the ROM after the update, Bazooka constantly crashes. Once you clear the data the crashes resolve.

Restoring the data using Titanium just makes the crashes of Bazooka return.

It will be a moderate amount of work to restore all my folders, icons and home page organization so I will stay at 2.7b for now.

Thanks!

Issues with this Rom since I've updated it.

I'm having issues with this Rom since I've updated, this Rom is just acting up. For one it constantly resets itself for no reason. First the phone would freeze and then it would reset itself. It's been doing that to the point where it'll reset itself but the phone won't even reboot I have to constantly take out the battery and put it back in for it to reboot since it's not rebooting properly. Btw the way I loaded the rom was that I did a Factory Reset and wipe cache and everything as if I loaded the rom for the first time. I'm only doing this because of the fact the when I try to actually update the rom itself I constantly get error messages about the Bazooka app not working and it constantly pops up to the point I can't even get passed the first screen. I am highly disappointed at the moment as I've using this rom for about a good month and I loved up up until this point.

Really awesome ROM. Slick with great battery life. Thank you so much for your efforts.

Did want to let you know that since upgrading to 2.9 I have had the phone turn off by itself on two occasions. I don't remember the circumstance for one but the second occurred when I was on hold on a phone call. Each time the phone simply powers down without restarting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] projectvirtue:
I was wondering if there was anything i need to turn on in order to send MMS like before. in the 4.1 avatar release (amazing) i was able to leave data off, but still be able to send MMS to my SO. I imagine it turned itself on briefly and off again. On the now 2.9 release, this doesn't seem to work anymore?

On another note, I've had a number of crashes on 2.9 now, not doing anything in particular but it would freeze, go black, and i'd need to force reboot. It's happened in the messaging app, while on reddit, and otherwise regular operation.
