the s4 themes are just terrible... what is with the white? lol. anyways i posted the AOSP Gmusic the other day and here is a red and blue themed if anybody is interested...

red gmusic- https://www.dropbox.com/s/eqggo9508acd705/RedGoogleMusic (2).apk

blue gmusic- https://www.dropbox.com/s/neigu9pepnzhyym/BlueMusic2.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
What theme is that .. it looks good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
If anyone wants to know that already didn't.

Samsung has 2 framework apk's that need to be installed.

I haven't recompiled anything since the OG Razr days. Samsung is a little different. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emarietta:
I don't know if this has been addressed yet but my screen randomly turns on and it stays on until I lock the screen again. Has anyone seen that ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I don't think it has been mentioned yet.

Are you running v1.6 or v2.0?

Also, what firmware do you have installed?

Sorry you're having this issue :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emarietta:
1.6 and the mb1 firmware. Everything is stock too only thing ive done is download apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Checked the screen timeout settings and there isn't a "never" option. 10 minutes is the longest... How long have you let it sit ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emarietta:
Just 30 seconds. I'll probably just do a reflash after work today
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
If anyone has problems with icons or pictures having color blotches on them, it's a kernel issue. KT kernel especially. Just wanted to point that out if it comes up later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Have you thought anymore about a grey theme instead of black?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Too bad the MMS app doesn't have a compress function like for pictures....

I'm thinking a) the developers feel texting is the wrong method for sharing video; b) you never know what the other providers limit is (could work for ATT but not T-Mo).

As for setting the video quality really low (MMS mode), you can never get the lost quality back - your video will always be low quality / resolution. Isn't the setting like 176x? ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Sorry again about this issue, hopefully a full clean wipe and install will fix the issue, keep us posted, :)

This stuff should be posted in the kernel thread for which you are using. I can't support work that isn't mine, so I only support stock kernel and ask in the OP to not post any custom kernel related issues in the thread and keep that stuff in the kernels thread.

No. I haven't. I am not looking to do any more theming for the ROM I just don't have the time to keep porting themes for each base every update, AOSP is tough enough with the middle clock .zips (4 of those). I kept v2.0 basically completely stock theme wise and v1.6 doesn't have much more themed, so it leaves open for users to create themes easier. Please feel free to work on a theme yourself or maybe asking another themer. All user themes made for this ROM will be posted in the OP add-on section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oneway2k:
Brightness finger slide

I may be getting confused here and am actually asking for a feature.

Is there an option like Cyanogenmod to hold the notifcation area until it does that short popdown and then slide your finger left or right to control brightness (not the actual builtin slider)? Sometimes when my screen is too low and I'm outside I can't see to actually use the brightness slider widget so that would be really handy.

If not is there an apk that anyone can suggest.

I tried "Display Brightness" but it interferes with the notification area as it is only an overlay about the notification area so when I try to use the notification pull down, it changes the brightness depending on where my finger is.

The Cyanogen partial pop-down thing is perfect but it CM 10.1 doesn't work on my Galaxy S3 Verizon (using a network extender shows as roaming). Probably TMI but anyway there you go!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
No.. That is an AOSP feature.. This ROM is touch wiz..

What's wrung with using the brightness slider in the pull down..?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
I know, that's why I put this here so no one thinks it's a ROM issue. Just trying to keep the thread clean. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] madhacker7:
I kinda like the light theme. Is it difficult to implement? Any chance I can humbly request it be added as a feature? Please forgive my entitlement. No disrespect intended. I'm just not comfortable with the procedure involved to make the change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I know. You're good, brother.

Didn't mean to say it like that, just kinda preaching to the new users that see the post. :)

It's incredibly easy to implement, and I gave it a try, but it didn't look good at all, basically what you're doing is just adding the word "Light" to the styles.xml in each .apk and calling to all the light icons that are in the .apk it oddly comes with light and dark images.

Settings.apk looked fine, but I then did contacts/phone, and there were too many graphical errors, meaning it was incredibly buggy, you couldn't see the numbers when entering into the phone.. stuff like that.. white on white lettering and background.

Sorry to get hopes up, just thought it was a neat thread, and figured it would work, but unfortunately isn't the case.

You can request to a themer to make a sg4/light theme, but I personally am not doing any other themes besides AOSP.

----------------------------------------

On a side note, I gave the battery bar a try, and it was just wayyy too hard to implement without having the ROM Control..

I don't really think I want to add ROM Control, although I am considering it.

I could put the lock screen vibration toggle, in there along with the long press and sound toggles. and then the battery bar, most likely lock screen MOD..

but I am not so sure, I kind of like it the way it is, and would rather just include the third party battery bar .apk in Aroma, and just add the lock screen MOD into the ROM later on.

what is your guys input?

I could add a "BoneStock Control" basically ROM Control re-named. but I was trying to keep this ROM a little different than the rest.

Although it would make things a lot more easy to implement into the ROM.

I feel this would then take away from the feel I was trying to do with this ROM.

I don't want to over bloat it..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] madhacker7:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll take your word for it then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DerDerBrown:
I say don't put it in, I like the ROM the way it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Hey Andy! Hope all is well. Was wondering, if u have some free time in the near future, if u could take a look into the Sense 5 HTC rom thats in alpha build in this same forum. It might be a fun project and I would love to have a Sense rom to try out on our s3's. I know u have plenty on ur plate already no worries if u can't just asking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
I like not having the ROM Control because it is easier for me to remember where the options are located. When I've use a ROM with ROM Control I'm always trying to remember which settings are in ROM Control and which are under Display, etc. However it isn't that much of an issue and if it would make your life easier I could certainly live with a BoneStock Control section. The only option that I can think of that would be better in ROM Control than as an Aroma option would be the transitions since it would be much quicker and easier to switch when I get bored with one and want to change it. If you do a Control section though I would definitely not like to see it become like some others I've seen with a huge number of options and settings. That would definitely change the character of this ROM and, for me, it wouldn't be a good change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Yea I saw that thread and was highly impressed with what the DEV over on the Sprint forums was able to accomplish so far.

I am definitely going to try tinkering with that to see if I can participate at all.

Would love to have a fully functional Sense ROM for the SG3!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] capt730:
Bone 1.6 with faux kernel. Zero Lemon 2300 battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Andy, is it possible to add ROM Control or BoneStock control as an option in aroma? So if the user wants that in the ROM, they can have it. If not, they can choose not to insert ROM control and keep it as is. Not sure if something like that is possible or not. Would be able to fill a range or preferences. Those who prefer to have as many on the fly mods as possible, or those who rather keep it more basic and stock like. I haven't seen that on any rom yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] QBall45:
Andy please add in your rendition of Rom control. Maybe have it as an available option in aroma? I vote Yes... Include it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
ROM Control can't be aroma.

Not sure if I'm going to add it yet. Really the only benefit is the stand alone battery bar. I may just aromatize the battery bar third part app and built lock screen mod into ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SpyroDazee:
I personally feel that the battery bar should be a standalone apk.

I like the fact that all the customizations in this ROM are where they're supposed to be.

Like the clock positions in the clock menu, etc.

btw Andy, what would I need to edit in the systemui.apk to get the clock white?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
just wanted to point out this great little tool by OlliG that is fantastic at creating battery icons, toggles, and some other cool stuff for themeing... go here to check it out- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1918500. [MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION], i started piecing together a royal blue theme for 2.0 and was just wondering if maybe you could check it out for me, see how it is... i'll pm you what i have so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Wow. This makes a lot of sense now. I've always wondered how my phone got unlocked when pulling it outta my pocket. I've actually thought it was a bug with TW itself, as it has seems to happen on every TW ROM I use (and I use aosp lock on every rom...). Would love to see that disabled if it's possible. Good find though.

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

I've used T.E.A.M. battery bar since it became a standalone app. So much easier to just restore app/data when setting up a fresh ROM install. I actually run it on top of built in battery bars (TW and AOSP alike), as it has more options. I would agree with the majority on ROM control. I like how mods are setup in your ROM... Makes it unique and it also makes sense for the mods to be in there respective sub-menu. I say keep it out if you can; but I'll be using your ROM either way :thumbup:

Re-running Aroma ...

When re-running Aroma, do I have to remember the apps that I were on the phone before.. Does Aroma delete them if I don't re-select them? Does this apply to widgets and wallpapers also? If re-run Aroma and don't re-select the same widget/wallpaper do I loss my previously selected widget/wallpaper?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yes. Yes.Yes and Yes. If dirty flash only thing that remains is apps added after Aroma the first time unless they are in Aroma and you lose those also. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
I've never used the T.E.A.M battery bar before, how does it compare to pvyMods battery bar?

Tapatalked from my VZW Galaxy S III.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Works same but also works on all screens including game screens. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Yup, this is why I prefer TEAM. Its nice to watch that bar shrink as I crush me some candy's :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
I've never even noticed if I've had a bar while playing games or not. I tend to keep the bar as thin as possible so it's unobtrusive unless I'm looking for it. As long as it's thin, I probably wouldn't notice it, though might be annoying when watching Netflix, be a bit more noticeable there when in dark scenes and such. But otherwise, if it's pretty much the same but on all screens and is easier to implement as an option, then hey, I've got no problem with it. (Think I'll go do a search for it now and give it a whirl.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
Yeah... If you don't like it, you can change that behavior in the app's settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorgarath:
Sounds like a winner.

On a side note, I noticed an oddity one night over the weekend. I'm currently using no battery icon but when my phone got down to 1%, it showed a red battery icon. Not sure if this is something that is inevitable or if it was something that was just missed when doing the battery mod.

No big deal as I try not to let my phone run at 1% very often, but just thought I'd let you know in case you wanted to fix it for the next version, if it's something easily fixed. If not, not a big deal as I mentioned. Just kinda threw me for a minute. It may be I have a bad flash on my hands where it just didn't delete that one PNG for all I know. :)

(At least, I think it's only the 1% battery icon, I've not gone in to look for the PNGs (not sure how or where they'd be) nor have I sat and watched every % from 100 to 0 to make sure there's no other icons that show up, it's not a big enough deal for me to worry about it.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ufjay5:
I choose no battery in aroma and then just text from battery in settings but it is stock color. Any way to have that blue? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Does the volume hack only apply to the external speakers or headsets as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I believe only internal. Viper works great for external.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Yea I believe so , I will start coloring the battery text to the same color as the clock color when you pick in Aroma in the future .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Okay. But Ive also noticed that there isn't Music Effects under Settings>Sound

I want to be able to choose my equalizer but I don't see it. Or does TW not have it? Cause I could have sworn it did...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
No everything is stock + add-ons.. So if it came stock it's in the ROM.

I don't use an equalizer hopefully someone who does well chime in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] viskey:
I have music fx, in settings, under sound
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I don't..? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
It's in system/apps but I've only seen it within sound settings if I have another option like dsp manager or viper installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] coled91:
Sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't find anything on it. When I try to use mobile hotspot it says I need a subscription. Any fix for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
You have to enable it with the toggle. Not in settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I've been working with Aroma, trying to add a way to re-flash the ROM.zip without having to re-install the ROM, and only pick what you want.

This requires completely re-writing my Aroma script..

I can not guarantee that I can accomplish this. But I am trying my best to get this done for us for the next release. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] coled91:
I had gone to to mobile hotspot app and tried the toggle from there and it said checking subscription then said I wasn't subscribed. I never even tried it from settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
I was thinking about something along these lines but didn't want to "bug" you, but here's my thought....

Can you have the install script fork-able ? By that, I mean, when the install starts, give the user the option of just installing a "bare" ROM (and skip Aroma) or go the current route (go straight into Aroma). Not sure what you would consider a "bare" ROM though...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Yeah I mean the toggle in settings, you can't do it that way. Enable it using the pull down toggles. Then when its turned on, click on it hotspot in the notification pulldown to edit any settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cynikalJ:
I think this would open the door for more issues. I personally feel it's fine the way it is. Make more sense to reflash the whole thing with whatever changes be it dirty or clean. That way there is less room for issues....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It is not a problem. We have a rom that will swap kernels only and a theme that will flash extra mods only. It is just how you write the script. Saves a lot of time on reflash if just want to change an option or miss something when flash the first time. Also keeps you from actually dirty flashing the whole thing. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Yea if I can get the scripting correct then won't be any problems, we will have option to either install ROM fully, or to choose a custom installation meaning it won't re-install the entire ROM so say you want to change animations, just unchrvk everything that is uncheckable (that you don't want) and for the ones you have to choose like either AOSP or stock messaging application choose the one you want. Hope this makes sense. In theory it should be fine, but I am not the best at scripts, this is the first time I've ever edited one. It will take some time but once/if I get it I'll release next version. Still need to decide on lock screen MOD to include it or not. I personally don't want it and wouldn't use it but if enough people really want it and is a deal breaker, I'll change my mind. Battery bar I need to know what the best third party application is so I can include that into Aroma for the next versions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ballisticevo:
This Rom has been super solid for some time now. Loving it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I would have to look at how script is set up. Some you would have to double the update script only. My theme zip is set up different and only needs a 2nd mods only script at beginning and skips the full install part. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
What's involved in the user adding or installing this lock screen mod on their own ? Is it simple, i.e. a flashable ZIP, complicated, etc ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdog94:
has anyone made any different tw launcher sizes???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Extremely difficult MOD to incorporate. Take a look at the tutorial. It involves painstakingly looking up multiple IDs. Very annoying. But, I wouldnt mind adding it if it is requested :).

Once I add it, its as simple as changing the toggle like the battery on the fly MOD works

I know there's a few different ways to ho about adding it. If you are able yo help that'd be awesome, I'll hit you up on gtalk. Thanks brotha.

These are ones I use. Will not rotate. If doesn't flash on TWRP may need to change to a different update zip or swap the zipalign from one of our zips. Or pull apk and install manually with root explorer. :cool:

Have been on V2.0 for a while now and I am extremely happy with it. Great ROM. thank you Andy!

There's one thing I can't figure out why. When I installed this ROM, I selected inverted AOSP messageing in AROMA. No problem. Then a few days ago I decided to have the normal AOSP messaging (non-inverted), so I stripped the Mms.apk file from BoneStock_v2.0 under \aroma\message\aospmms\normal\app folder. Installed without problem. My messaging app became normal AOSP. Nice. But something strange happened the following day. My messaging app went back to the inverted AOSP! I thought it must be something I didn't do right so I installed the non-inverted again yesterday. Well, again I found it going back to the inverted AOSP messaging today !?

No big deal though, since the inverted app looks pretty sharp. I am just very curious what I was missing here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ty07allstar:
Hey Andy, using 1.6 and the aosp theme with the middle clock fix the middle clock is not cyan but gray and when the down arrow for data is showing it is white instead of cyan. Other then that it's great. Thanks

Nice rom dude. Great actually. One question. I see that the accuweather widget is installed in my apps but doesn't show up on my widget options. I have always used nova launcher with accuweather. Do I need to have touchwiz launcher installed for it to work?

Yeah, the TW accuweather widget (and most other TW widgets) require secLauncher.
