Noticed a new build on the OTA updater. After install, the theme chooser engine is much different. The layout makes previewing a bit harder, but overall a nice polished interface. Sadly, no sign of new themes, but I'm sure they are coming. :)

Weebo still refuses to work without FC, but since I'm a tasker junky, it's not a big deal.

Thanks for the continued work on this ROM! :)

Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Notes II (i605) - Updated [Mar 24,2013]

How did the OTA work ? We kept for next week release but you uncovered it. Also the new theme chooser is in beta and it will be improved going forward.

Weebo is working fine for me. I will get it checked.

Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Notes II (i605) - Updated [Mar 24,2013]

When I woke up this morning I had the updated rom icon in my notification bar. Being the crack flasher that I am, I immediately downloaded it. :)

Weebo has never worked for me; it always FC when I search for signal. However, since I use Tasker a lot, I haven't bothered to investigate. I have sent the error report on the few occasions that I played with it, but maybe a logcat would be better?

Thanks again for the awesome work, and sorry if I spoiled any surprises! ^_^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bippi79:
Glad that OTA is working on the field. You are the first user to test and confirm it.

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.

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.

Download the theme apk and open it using the theme creator tool. You will see a screen to edit the resources. After editing the resources, save the apk and install on the device.

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.

2. We make some mistakes when creating a theme. Eg: SMS time stamp color was not proper in some of our themes. You can now use this tool to fix it.

3. We cannot satify all the users with a theme. Eg: If you want to have a darker orange shade in denim theme you can now do it using this tool.

4. You can import an existing theme, change some of the resources we modified and you have a brand new theme.

Upcoming features:

1. Ability to create a new theme from scratch.

2. Import MiUi mtz theme file and convert it to theme apk which is compatible with AvatarROM and CyanogenROM.

3. Upload your new themes to our server so it can be used by other AvatarROM users.

4. Html5 based new theme creator tool which is more elegant and user friendly.

Download links

Windows - Link

Linux - Link

Mac - Link

As always we love to hear your feedbacks and comments. You might feel little lost with all the resources that are in Android world and we are on standby to help.

If you create a new theme and want to upload to our server, send us a PM and we will give access for you to upload the theme.

Sample theme apks

As per the requests we received for sample themes, we have uploaded some theme apks in below link.

Now you can try using Theme creator tool, customize your Avatar ROM theme and make your own Avatar :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Currentweb:
I find the only thing I miss on Avatar after using MIUI is the ability to mix and match parts of a theme. The way you could select which aspects of a theme was awesome, I would have a WP8 lockscreen with the system status bar and Sense 5 framework. I hope to see that ability in the future, but this is an amazing ROM right now. Definitely a daily driver, with the best theme engine yet and great battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 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.

Is there a way to change it so when I pull down the notification bar it shows my notifications instead of my quick settings panel?

Dragging status bar on the right of the screen will bring quick settings panel and left will bring the notifications.

You can disable it from settings, system, quick settings panel, quick pull down.

Anyone else having GPS issues? I clean flashed and GPS is sketchy. It locks on for a couple seconds then unlocks. And searches for me again. I've gone back to jellybeans rom and acquires lock and flashed back but same thing happens. Love how customizable this rom is and would love to use it! Great work nonetheless!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] godrik1210:
Same here locks then searches lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psyanide:
Odd. Tried to dirty flash 2.8b over 2.7b, and Bazooka FC now. Flashed back to 2.7b and same thing, so assume I'm going to have to wipe everything and install from scratch.

Ouch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psyanide:
So I clean flashed 2.8b and all is well with one exception; I can't get my home screen icon labels to show. I have checked and unchecked the new bazooka settings and it makes no difference if labels are on or not.

Other than that, gps locks are fast, bluetooth audio and calls are great, etc.

EDIT: My bad. I had played with grid size. All labels present and accounted for when I toned it back down to a 4x4 grid. /sheepish

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psyanide:
I have advanced reboot menu as long as the phone is unlocked. From lock screen only the reboot option is available. No FC on settings but I don't use jrummy toolbox.

Dirty flash from 2.8b, if that matters.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chance77:
I tried dirty from 2.7b and full wipe/ format, it shows advanced power menu, but when rebooting, no recovery option. It does have advanced menu ( power off, reboot, airplane, screen shot, expanded desktop ) but no reboot to recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psyanide:
Maybe a silly question, but you do have advanced reboot enabled in developer options?
