Layout Themeing

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.

Couldn't get these to work......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] fraughtsigewulf:
Couldn't figure out how to turn on the navigation bar so I edited the build prop. Pretty cool how the nav bar keys change color based on the different themes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] bippi79:
We also theme hardware nav buttons in devices like maguro :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Do we know why the "touch to focus" has never worked in the camera?

WarmSpring Theme

Releasing one more new theme in our Avatar theme stores, check below screenshots. The same is available in our new theme chooser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] fraughtsigewulf:
Wasn't sure how to get this theme. I just started using the stable 4.1.2 release again which has the old theme chooser.

I ended up installing the newer 4.0 version of theme chooser from Titanium backup and then was able to get this new one.

It's very nice. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
My Themes do not update with the newest themes......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] fraughtsigewulf:
Try sideloading these three APKs. I ended up with two different theme choosers (one with limited themes and one with access to all the themes).

Sorry for the confusion. We are removing the old theme chooser in this weeks release and going forward there will be only one theme chooser.

if you are updating from an older version of Avatar to 2.8b without a wipe. You will have to clear data of Bazooka Launcher

Under settings, Apps -> all apps -> bazooka -> clear data...

If you are moving from an old Avatar build to 2.8b without a wipe

Try clearing data of Bazooka

Drag down Status bar -> Toggles page -> Settings -> Apps -> All -> Bazooka -> Clear data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
2.8b Totally crashed my phone! Bazooka not working at all. Tried to put 2.7b back on phone and syill Bazooka crashing every 3 seconds....

Auto rotate all whacked out as well. Does opposite of what it is suppose to do

No Matter what I do I get

"UNFORTUNATELY BAZOOKA HAS STOPPED"

Any Help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] bippi79:
Try clearing data of Bazooka

Under Settings, Apps -> all apps -> bazooka -> clear data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Ok let me see if I can get there

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

I think this may have worked.... :fingers-crossed:

Just so I understand, what exactly was causing this and why did clearing the data fix it? :confused:

:silly:

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

FYI:

- I still have old Theme Chooser

- Did we lose the transition effect?? Seems to be gone or I just can't find it. Lol (FOUND TRANSITION EFFECT - NOW UNDER SETTINGS>LAUNCHER >HOMESCREEN)

- Back to saying CyanogenMod Updates opposed to saying Avatar Updates (No big deal, just an FYI)

- Auto Rotation is screwy on my phone. Seems to be opposite when 270 degrees is checked. Had to disable Auto Rotate.

- Camera Auto focus seems to work with some themes and not with others. Weird?

- When Changing themes, screen goes black, and status bar up top is flashing, have to hit power button once to go to lock screen to get it to change themes

- The Dock on the home screen (Bottom row of 5 ) scrolls to the left with no apparent functionality. Why do the scroll to the left? (ANSWER: Bazooka settings/dock you can change the size of the 5 icons at the bottom of home screen. and you change the number of pages on the dock)

- When you change the grid size to anything other than 4 x 4 you lose the icon text
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Screen gets all scratchy and squirrely coming out of sleep mode on the lock screen, real fuzzy and scratchy.

But I love the changes keep up the great work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
FYI:

Noticed that when you change the Grid to anything bigger than 4 x 4 the icon labels are gone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Auto rotate is wacky for me. Anyone else?

It does the opposite
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] ATLDON:
Yes I have the same issue....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Thanks.... :good:

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.

Rebooting

Anybody else having random reboots? Phone will reboot then screen flashes blue, after that it reboots. Very buggy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Yep, same here, bright blue screen then reboot.....

---------- Post added at 04:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 AM ----------

Mine just did it again. Seems to happen when a text comes in...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] blackice156742:
Been running it for a couple days, I disabled auto rotation because it was having its way. Then today the blue screen. Happen once when I was in the stock music player, then a couple times when I was at work. It was just sitting on the charger
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
I can never find the new Themes when they are released..... Strange.:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] bippi79:
Go to settings -> apps -> Theme chooser and do a clear data/cache. Now open the theme chooser, go to avatar store and latest themes sections.

New Theme Chooser is a heavily cached application.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Worked like a charm! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] adbshell:
Can you explained what you tried? So you applied these themes and the dialers didn't show up as in the preview?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
When new Themes are released they don't come in automatically, they don't update. I had to Go to settings -> apps -> Theme chooser and do a clear data/cache. The Update tab I would think was there for new updates but just doesnt seem to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] blackice156742:
Updated awhile ago, running smoother. But just encountered the phone vibrating for about 10sec then reboot to blue screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Did the 2.9b Update as well..... My MAJOR Issue is STILL the fact that I can not attach to a PC as a Mass Media Storage device and transfer files. As soon as I try it locks up. then can shut it off or disconnect without the device freezing up and having to power down....

:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] bippi79:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] ATLDON:
Never had the random reboots and blue screen. Is the auto rotation fixed?

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

Thought I only had this issue....was thinking my mico usb cord was bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Auto Rotation seems to be fixed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] ATLDON:
Updating now....

As for the random reboots and blue screens, do you completely wipe your Note and do a factory reset when you update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
No, just flash the latest 2.9b update, then flash the gapps, then clear the cache/dalvik, reboot and enjoy! (I fix the permissions as well, but that's just me) Using TWRP for the 879
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] ATLDON:
You might want to do a full wipe. I completely wipe my Note and I don't have the random reboot/blue screen issues....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] chipspencer:
I did I full wipe (factory, cache and davik) and I still get the random reboots and blue screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
just to let everyone know I change my daily driver from the Samsung Galaxy Note 1 to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and now I'm having far less issues with any of the updates on my samsung galaxy note 2 opposed to what I had on the note 1. I hated to see my new one go it has been my favorite phone forever and I hate the physical button on the bottom of the screen on the note 2. Moving over to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 thread for Avatar. Keep up the great work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] ATLDON:
Very strange, never had a random reboot or blue screen and ive been using this Rom since the 2.7 update

I love this ROM, but last night the evilness of it came about. I was filming my sisters wedding ceremony, got the whole thing and right as I went to hit stop, the phone froze went to that blue screen then reset. I was so mad, I mean I would probably never watch that footage again anyway, but the fact that I absolutely can't now kinda sucks. Other than that this ROM is amazing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] bippi79:
We apologize for the crash. We have started to work on the stable version of the ROM. Camera module involves drivers and lot of native code (C++, C) which sometimes is very difficult to work on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] drumbum131:
Anyone?

I've tried all the roms available for my t879..this is by far the best! I was wondering though, why I seem to be getting the "Blue Screen of death" very often? It happens 3-4 times a day, and I have to do a battery pull each time. Anyone else with this problem? Is there a fix? Any help would be appreciated! BTW.. Thanks to the dev. for this great rom!
