Haptic feedback???

Is there a way that one (or in THIS case... ME) can ADD or ENABLE haptic feedback in Avatar 422 (yes I am aware there is a haptic feedback setting), either by way of app or system/settings modification where the phone actually vibrates on touches beyond the capacitive keys (for which the haptic feedback setting does support)??? Perhaps most don't need or miss it but some do... And I happen to need it and cant really use a ROM that does not have it and the stronger the better for me... THANKS IN ADVANCED!!!

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.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 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.

Try clearing data of Bazooka

Drag down Status bar -> Toggles page -> Settings -> Apps -> All -> Bazooka -> Clear data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nomad10002:
I did the update and bazooka kept on crashing my phone. Got it running had to wipe everything again, then apply the new update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] williambs:
Update crashes

Got the same when I tried to run the update. Going back to prior rom for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nomad10002:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] williambs:

thank you. I was perplexed on why that was happening
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] StepanLevin:
Not really proficient with custom ROMs but I am enjoying this one a lot, the combination of CM and MIUI was a great way to advertise it. The biggest pluses though is this one actually allows me to use mobile data and doesn't make my mic quality terrible for phone calls!

Anyway I've noticed in goomanager that it says there is an update available but it appears to be a nightly for CM, I assume I shouldn't be updating through goomanager for this ROM correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 01010001:
Wi-Fi hotspot tethering doesn't appear to be working for me, it gets stuck on "Turning hotspot on..." Also, I can't find the USB Tethering notification widget in the list (not referring to the tiled quick settings widgets).

Randomly freezes up?

I really like this ROM but I seem to be having some random freeze-ups happening where the phone is asleep, and when I press the power button to wake it back up... nothing happens. I hear nothing, nothing appears on the screen, none of the LED keys light up. I have to hold the power button down to force a reboot to bring it back to life. Anyone else having this problem? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2 T-Mobile edition with the latest ROM version.

MiStyle Theme release

Releasing one more new theme MiStyle in our Avatar theme stores, check below screenshots. The same is available in our new theme chooser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] StepanLevin:
I was having trouble updating Bazooka Launcher so I did a full wipe and reinstall then updated to the latest builds but I still get the following error message: "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall Previous copy of the app and try again." However I can't find a way to uninstall like it suggests.

edit: Not sure if this is appropriate place to ask but is there a way to have my play store apps automatically install when switching ROMs?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nomad10002:
All you have to do before you update is that you need to wipe bazooka launcher data from settings. Then go to, about phone, cyanogenmod updates, update rom from there and let it reboot on its own. That should fix all the problems. Hope that works for you. p.s. had same issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] StepanLevin:
I'm not sure what you mean by wipe bazooka launcher data from settings, there is no option to do so in the bazooka or system settings, also my rom has avatar updates not cyanogenmod updates if that makes any difference. I went into apps and cleared then tried updating the rom but it is already up to date. I have also tried clearing the app data then restarting the device then updating Bazooka launcher with no success.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nomad10002:
Go to were you manage apps in your settings.Its were you can uninstall, or stop an app when its not running right. You can clear caches and data.\ from there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] StepanLevin:
So I go to Settings->Apps, select Bazooka Launcher and choose Clear Data then try updating and get the same error. It's worth noting for some reason Bazooka Launcher does not appear in my Apps folder and I have used GO launcher. However as I mentioned a clear wipe and install without GO launcher has the same problem.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] obutto:
I don't know if it's just me but my phone is very unstable with this ROM. Been running approximately 3 days.

1. There's something wrong with calling. When I try to call people sometimes it just hangs up immediately.

2. Phone keeps rebooting a lot randomly.

3. Lots of troubles with apps that use the camera, especially SnapChat.

Might be a bad flash. No idea, gonna have to reflash later when I got time. It has some nice features though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bippi79:
Should be a bad flash. Please do a complete wipe and flash again.

Don't know if you're still looking for an answer, but don't use infamous darkside wipes on AOSP based roms (like avatar, cm, aokp, pa, pac, beanstalk . . .). The wipes are only for stock touchwiz based roms. That could very well be your problem.

If you are using thederekjay's original darkside wipes, you must be using CWM 5 recovery (the old, non-touch clockwork recovery). Do not use in any other recovery (though some people have been using them in TWRP with success, it still isn't recommended, especially as recoveries march further away from CWM 5).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuzzuy:
Thanks for the reply here yes i am using Darkside super wipe ext4 wipe and i am also using CWM ver 5.0.2.6 .

can you please direct me to the correct wipe and also the new recovery an i will ask you here also that if i install the new recovery what ever it will be would i will be able to restore from the backups which i made using CWM 5.0.2.6 ?? please let me know and thank you.
