[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] davidwilson83:
What a lovely post :) It is quite easy to see that you have written it in anger, which is why I am replying in this calm way instead of how I originally intended to reply when I saw this string of tirades. Let me break this down for you...

The 'majority' ? Version 2.1 has had more than 350 downloads now. How many users have had SystemUI force closes? And how many of those users run a custom ROM with mods?

What does the 2nd post state about installing the theme and mods?

I had a look at Hassan ROM and funnily enough... it has mods! So I'm sorry but you can't possibly expect Domination to work properly.

So.... you're suggesting that I build the theme primarily for a device that I don't own and try to rely on other users to test it for me? I'm sorry but that would take months and months to do one update! When I make Domination I flash different zips probably 150 - 200 times. I did that just with the camera app in the latest version. So of course I have to build it for I9505 because that it what I own. Then once I get that right, I then port it to I9500 and my mate [MENTION=5217960]abym[/MENTION] tests it for me, checks everything and reports back. If something doesn't work, I fix it, send him the zip and he flashes it again and we repeat until it is right. And with the zip that is available for download, he tested everything and confirmed that everything worked so that is why it was released.

That's funny, I seem to remember things like Email force closing and various other issues due to the fact that Domination was built on an older firmware when users had flashed newer firmwares twice over. And then someone had to fix that... it wasn't the Master because he was on I9505XXUBMF4 for a longgg time before he updated the base that Domination was built on. And looking at Hassan ROM, I am using the exact same ROM base for I9500 users which you are actually using, NC1. Funny that :)

A thousand thank yous for 'letting it go' and sparing me your wrath. Heaven forbid I should release something that isn't compatible with every ROM base available. If it's that much of a hassle then it might be a good idea not to use the theme? I'd hate to be the cause for your anger.

Thanks for the suggestion, but Domination is built on a stock deodexed ROM. Always has been, always will be. I'm not about to change that. If it doesn't work for you on a custom ROM then perhaps try a stock ROM?

It worked for my mate [MENTION=5217960]abym[/MENTION] ... so yes, it does work. Thanks for asking :)

Not that you care (or that I want you to) but I have been busy doing things in my real life like making dinner for my family, reading my daughters a story, putting them to bed and cleaning up my house a bit. I haven't had time to reply to this until now and it took me a while because you wrote quite a lot that you were unhappy with so I only had time before to thank a few people who stuck up for me. And of course I know that I9500 users don't have NC9 base yet. I actually PMed buggerritt thanking him for sticking up for me and informed him that I9500 users have only been given up to XXUFNC1 firmware base so far. And I don't 'lurk and let the users take the bullet' thank you. I always do my best to reply to the thread as quickly and as helpfully as I can. Unfortunately sometimes certain users don't have the patience to wait for me to reply.

How nice of you to say :) Unfortunately when I released Version 2.0 of the theme I thought that both devices' firmwares would be compatible with each other. Yes I made a mistake, and they weren't. Heaven forbid that I would be a human being and made a mistake. Did I fix it? As soon as I possibly could. I don't believe that this is 'leaving I9500 in the dark'. If 'it irks you' that I'm 'biased'... DON'T USE THE THEME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIMPLE! Vert was fortunate in the fact that both devices had similar enough firmwares at the time that the one zip would work on both. The same happened when I first took over and even when JB 4.3 was released. But as soon as KitKat was released for I9505 that is when both devices branched out and had separate firmware versions which meant that the one zip wasn't compatible with both.

Anyway I am not going to waste any more of my time replying to you. I don't have to justify myself or my actions to you. Do what you want, use the theme, don't, it's your call. I'm always here and I will always try to help when there are issues. If I don't own a device that someone is having issues on then it is hard for me to help, and it is also hard for me to make the theme compatible with every ROM available because there are so many different configurations. I know that I have done my best and Vert has told me that he was proud of me, and that is really all that matters to me. If you want to discuss it further or yell and swear at me (you obviously have a problem with me), then send me a PM. Don't clutter the thread.

Thanks and all the best to you in all your future endeavours.
