Any chance of an update on this ROM please ? Since flashing latest I can't get theme chooser to work (FC's every time) & I'm also getting a few more crashes than on previous release. I flashed this latest release through the dev download option in the ROM if that makes any difference ?

Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J 3 M:
Problem solved. Latest build doesn't have the theme installer & manager apk's in system folder so simply took them from an earlier build & installed them

Everything working fine.

BTW can anyone recommend a good kernel for this ROM just to see if I can squeeze some more battery life out of it ?

Cheers

Sir do you have a mirror for the latest build? avatar website is down for too long now :(

Thank you

Sir thank you so much for the MIRROR..

anyway this is the very first time i will flash an MiUi theme ROM, is there any issues that i should prepare of, i just want to know so i can somehow find a fix or condition myself to deal with it :) thank you so much again sir
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J 3 M:
Hey you're welcome. Mabuhay ;)

Best thing I can suggest is just to install it & play with it for a few days. It obviously wasn't a final or stable but I found it very stable (except for theme chooser tweaks) Is a very good rom & such a shame to have ground to a halt :(

I flashed MacKay kernel on it & got damn good battery life & performance.

Hope it helps! :good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bloodyrose:
Uhm sorry for bothering again sir, but how can i use miui theme ive downloaded on my sdcard? ive seen some write ups on other blog that its now prohibited to share themes on miui? does it affect this rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J 3 M:
I have no idea about that issue but if you go into your usual phone settings you'll see the themes option. Open it & it should take you to the theme manager - or open the drawer & you'll find it. From there you can download themes directly to the phone. You should also be able to install that theme by running installing the apk if that theme is compatible.

However if you have a theme manager issue such as I had then I can only suggest you open the rom file on your pc or ext sd card & look in apps for the theme manager apk & the theme chooser apk. Install both of these with the file explorer & you should be good to go. If the app force closes at any time then re installing these apk's each time seems to correct the issue.

Hope that helps. Mabuhay! ;)

Wifi problem anyone?

Hi,

I installed the latest version but couldnt get the Wifi to work. Anybody else facing this problem?

I didnt try flashing the ROM twice.

Also any feedback about speed from those who are using the latest version?

I have tried the older stable version from 2013 and it was very fast, stable. Just that online themes were not working and had to stick to the default Denim one.

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] J 3 M:
No I had no issues with WIFI after flashing latest version but back up any personal data - wipe cache - wipe dalvik - wipe factory/restore & reflash.

I found Avatar rom very fast & fluid & loved the theming but have since jumped to C-rom on my 19000 & Neat rom on my 19100 both excellent & feature rich roms.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vipulsachdev:

ChangeLog (Feb 24, 2013)

02/24/2013

50 new themes

OTA Fixes

Lockscreen fix - time not coming along with unlocker

Launcher updated with profiles

Weebo app (Tasker like application - Beta). Currently supported only in 4.1.2.

Latest merge with CM code base

Bug fixes, Performace improvements and many more

Issues: (only in 4.2.2)

When lockscreen is set to slide and if the phone goes to landscape mode, the graphics are distorted and sometimes phone cannot be unlocked. We are working on the FIX.

Work around

1. If the issue occurs, pull down the statusbar, go to settings and you will have access to you phone.

2. Don't set lockscreen to slide and instead choose any other security mechanism.

3. Disable phone rotation.

Flashed the rom... I loved it... The themes have improved and yes the boot animation feature at last! Loving it!!!

No noticeable bugs till now...

I am just thinking, such an amazing rom, why is there such a lukewarm reception to it?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bippi79:
Although the forum is quite we had lot of installs for galaxysmtd. When we upgraded the ROM to 4.2.2, galaxysmtd was in the first batch to get an update.

We would love to get feedback so we can improve upon the ROM. What you guys like, what features you want, what themes you prefer etc. We cannot guarantee it will happen overnight but we will implement in future updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bippi79:
Which version of ROM are using. If you using 4.1.2 version, please let us know your feedback on weebo app. Its not available in 4.2.2 but we will add it in next release.

Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy S(galaxysmtd) - Updated[Feb 24, 2

I have been using 4.2.2 for a day now... The battery is good and everything works...

one feature that i am seriously looking forward to is mixing theme elements... Lock screen from one theme, fonts from some other and so on... Will You guys do something about it in the next builds?

Another thing... I love the avatar boot logo but the sense theme changes it, could you upload a zip file for the original or steps to get it back...

And the last thing, is. 4. 1.2 faster and stabler than 4.2.2?

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bippi79:
Customized theming for different components is in works but it will be in future updates. No ETA as of now. We have introduced theming boot animation in this release so as you apply the theme the boot animation changes. Reapply the old theme to get boot animation back.

We know 4.1.2 is faster and stabler than 4.2.2. As CM10.1 matures, avatarrom will also be stable.

In power menu just "reboot" without options. Otherwise great ROM! Battery life is quite good. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bippi79:
Go to settings -> About phone. Tap on the build number for 7 times to get developer options. You have to enable it from there. Its the new CM feature.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trollitito:
I have a couple of questions.

I'm quite newbie on this, but in the past, i already tried several roms (only once ICS) and i'm on 2.3.6 for quite long (over 1 year). Even though i uninstalled lots of apps, i still feel my phone laggy and slow, so, i'm looking forward to format it or install a new rom.

This rom got my attention, but i'm wondering about a few things:

1- With lots of time and use, won't the rom get slow or lag at all like what happens in GB?

2- GB has 3 things that ICS/JB don't: RadioFM, Samsung Contacts (which is the one i prefer most over all others), Voodoo Control; Will i be able to have any of this on this rom?

I think these things are the ones that are making me wondering if i should change or not the rom of my Galaxy. If somebody could help me, i appreciate. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bambam1978:
Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy S(galaxysmtd) - Updated[Feb 25, 2

1.If you add your Samsung account to the accounts in settings you should then be able to sync with Samsung.

2.Radio there is plenty of free radio apps out there.

3.Go for it! Just be sure to back everything up first.

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trollitito:
Thank you for the help, but the "problem" goes a little furder from what you said:

1- The thing isn't the backup/sync, the thing is the samsung contacts are in Touchwiz which there isn't any on ICS/JB. I know there are another contact apps, but i prefer the samsung most because it's simple and i like to have my contacts divided by groups;

2- Plenty of free radio apps? RadioFM apps and not internet Radio apps? Because i only know the original from samsung and SpiritFM (which i don't like and i read people with problems on it);

3- Still missing the voodoo app, it gives me plenty of useful options that i would really like to keep.

But again, thanks for the help! I'm really tempting to try this rom out, but i don't want to miss the things i pointed out either. :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chickoo.t90:
Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy S(galaxysmtd) - Updated[Feb 25, 2

Well for your points 1 and 2, with every evolution, you win some and you lose some... So when you lose contacts, you get a much better ui along with more support for more recent apps...

And as for point 3, voodoo control.... Ummm afaik, you have all the options and more in the present jb roms...

Whatever the case, we have an amazing phone with us and :highfive: for that :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trollitito:
Hmm, i understand your point. It's just because i didn't want to abandon the things i mentioned, except that, i'm still really ready to try this rom because it seems promissing. I thing i will give it a shot anyway, i'm sure i'll find out another alternatives.

Just one last question to help me decide which one should i try: what does the Weebo app, specifically? I mean, i'm wondering if i should try the 4.1.2 version (from 24 Feb) or if i should try the 4.2.2 version (from 25 Feb) and the main difference between both, as far as i read, is the Weebo app. So, any advices to which one should i use? Are both identical (visual and performance)?

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bippi79:
4.1.2 is very stable because CM10 is very mature. 4.2.2 is a development branch where there are lot of changes everyday. It could crash sometimes.

Weebo is a tasker like application. We will release the apk tomorrow for 4.2.2 version and you will not miss it. Also from next update, weebo will be part of 4.2.2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trollitito:
Thanks for the faster answer.

Well, i like it stable, but i like to got new features or minor changes either, so, i'm still wondering which one i should try.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adbshell:
I wonder why no one has noticed the font themeing. This is awesome guys :good: Can you add an option like in samsung stock roms, in settings -> you can select from a set of pre installed fonts. Or better yet, allow to select any ttf file from sdcard :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bippi79:
Personally font theming is one of my favourite. I like the buuf and simpsons theme. Direct ttf file selection should be possible. We will have a look into it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trollitito:
Well, i just installed 4.2.2 yesterday and besides one or another thing, i'm enjoying it.

I'm the kind of person that likes to make backups offline and not on cloud, never knows what can happen to that data. Anyway, i couldn't restore my contact numbers from the previous android, it gave me an error. I'm sure it has something to be with android itself and not with this rom in specific, it just gave me a headache of trying to get a way to import the contacts instead of having to add 1 by 1, which was what i ended doing so. Besides this and still in contacts, i don't like the way the contact app manages the contact, i mean, is there any way to add an contact offline and not on my google account? I can't even do that (in old android i could), whatever i do, i end up adding the contact linked to the google account... But again, android "problem", not the rom itself.

Except that, i didn't found any bug yet and i fully changed all the options of it, including removing system apps (calculator, browser, gallery, etc) and adding the ones i prefer most. I already have what i had before and for now i can say the rom is still blazing fast compared to what it was. I'm really enjoying it, but i'm still adapting to the different menus, etc. The only thing which i didn't tested yet, are the themes, but for sure i will try a few to see how it is.

So far, my conclusion about this rom is very good. It's very costumizable, beauty and great performance. I'll keep adapting to all the new stuff and test as much as i can, but i can already say it's an awesome work of a rom. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] adbshell:
Yea it seems google doesn't want you to have any contacts that it doesn't know about :confused: Because when you haven't registered your google account, it allows you to 'Keep Local' new contact, but once you add a google account, there is no going back.

If you are really paranoid, you could do: use the import/export option in People app, and turn off sync for contacts under the registered Google account. Hope this helps :cowboy:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TIGER 123:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trollitito:
Exactly! I deleted the google account and then i was able to add contacts, but even if i would add all contacts like that, then i need to add the google account to use Play Store, etc., and at any moment if i would need to add a contact... Well, it would be much trouble deleting the google account every time.

And yes, i turned off the sync, although i think it will sync at some point. An option from google to have them offline, would simplify everything. Thanks for the help.:good:

Battery life is good now but I'm having a bit of an issue with some apps overriding the disabled gps and location share.
