I posted on my other thread I don't have a computer right now, and it was my profession until last year. Even if he's not a friend as you say, the truth is the truth. I'd rather have a random stranger share the truth and spread their knowledge if its something that will benefit me and make me better at what I'm doing, whether it be a hobby or a profession. Stuff is more fun when you're good at it. Like I said before , he has the Photoshop skills for sure, just not the knowledge of modern trends. I know for a fact he'll use what I've shared with him and it will make him better. So I'll refer to my previous remark, he's a grown up and doesnt need someone kissing his ass to defend him. In fact there's no defense necessary. Honest feedback us honest feedback, you either use it or leave it be, no personal attacks were made. And as for me theming, it'll come in due time. I used to theme for the captivate. Also a long time ago I created many of the most popular fluxbox themes, if you know what that is. Anyways, let him stand up for himself if he's feels the need. The reason he hasn't is because he knows there is no need. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

Also I'm not using his theme, I run PAC ROM and uXlyon so I can't. And yes I do owe my career to my friend, I wouldn't have ever made a dollar without his direction. And like I said he didn't direct me nicely, or even point me at tutorials. He used insults and vague criticisms until I figured out what I was doing wrong on my own. ( the Linux elitist way ) I'm not that way fortunately, its unnecessary I feel. And just mean. Anyways, keep up the good work John, its ridiculously impressive that's youve done all this on your own without classes a lot of people take or direction from others. I'm guessing you learned Photoshop originally the same way I did, just poking around through trial and error. You've mastered that method, which is why I've spent my time sharing my help on your thread on my wife's old ass ****ty nexus S which takes a good 30-45 minutes per post. You're ready to graduate to professional status. Who knows it could end up being your career, at least in part. Good money is to be made freelancing and it doesn't take much time to do so. Wish you all the best and am excited to see what you release in the future. Thanks for your time.:):thumbup:

All Themes updated for SHOstock 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] daniel4653:
Hmmm I want to try this out on Sprint GS4. I really like the blue and red theme.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
I am not sure which rom you might be using, but if you are using a Touchwiz rom then you can try any of the NoXML or Blue themes. The worst that should happen would be that some of the icons won't be themed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] daniel4653:
I'm using Sprints latest stock odexed ROM. Which of course is Touchwiz

So I should try blue theme "safe for all Roms " ?.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
I can't really say what will happen if you try one of these themes.

The changes are based on a DEOdexed version of a modified stock Rom,

How much that affects the changes, I don't know.

The NoXML versions only replace graphics, so they don't mess with the system files at all, so they should be safe.

It would be better if you Flashed one of the Touchwiz based roms in the Sprint thread, because: if the results are not what you like with the theme, you can always just reflash the Rom.

You also should be able to make a backup copy of your current device and then restore that...However, the restores don't always work.

If you decide to try it, please let us know the outcome. Good Luck.

I've flashed back to stock but my dialer hasn't returned to normal. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Hmmm, apparently the Revert to stock download is missing the contacts updates, I will check on it in a couple of hours, please check back for an updated version. (At the moment I don't have access)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Revert VrTheme updated

Okay, the Revert VrTheme has been updated on post 1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AxAtAx:
Why don't you just manually push the stock one back into system/apps dir and set permissions? Be easier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Airtioteclint:

Is there a seperate area that has dialers? Like the keyboards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
no, sorry

No, sorry the dialers have shared components in Contacts and and the Phone Apk,

All-Inclusive Aroma Installer

NEW Aroma Installer with thanks to C13v3r0n3

Also thanks to AxeMan and his Vision X Rom

Johns Aroma Installer - ALL Themes - ALL S4 Roms

All of my themes with no XML updates are included in this installer!

This should work on all the touchwiz roms that are out there!

1st Post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AxAtAx:
I am confused, when I was running Omega, Wanam, and a couple other roms, I used these themes on them no issues, In fact the wife was running Omega rom for 6mo, and still is with the purple theme. Is someone having issues using these on the international roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
theme use

No idea actually, very few people comment on whether they use them or not,

in theory, they should not cause issues on any Roms that they are installed to, although there is a potential that some things won't be themed due to differences made to some roms.

Also, Dropbox does not give me statistics, so I have no idea if anyone is downloading them or not,, LOL

The new Aroma install actually has some updates that make more icons consistently themed with more roms.

I will also be updating that install in the future to allow people to choose to install XML updates during the installs....Truly all inclusive with all variations. My Dev Aroma install is working very well, I just want to update a couple of graphics to eliminate a couple of color anomalies that have always existed :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AxAtAx:
Yes..Clev was explaining alot about what you do...an somewhat what it takes and so on...I respect your good work. These themes really are good. We have plans. Hope it includes these themes. Hint
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Now XML and NOXML in one install

Comprehensive update one install for all themes with XML and NO XML options

:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AxAtAx:
So all of these are in aroma as a option? nice...I think we may be close to moving forward....thanks...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] bruceo:
On Vision X the revert to stock is not working. It just stops at extracting files with no progress bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
I just ran it without any issues,

did you hit the next button a couple of times, the aroma installer doesn't always continue with just one or two clicks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] bruceo:
It goes to mounting partitions, extracting files, then the progress bar comes up and it hangs for a second at zipalign and then progressbar disappears and nothing happens. I can click next to get out of it but no themeing is done. It would be nice if you could make it where user could select which elements of the theme they would like to install. I like the red dialer a lot but I dont like the 3D statusbar and toggle icons. Thanks for the work though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
How to change the install

I don't know why you might be having an issue, I installed the red theme, then I installed the revert, still no issues. I have the AT&T I337. It could also be something else that was installed after the theme, but if you can install the other themes, then you should be able to install the revert. Might also relate to the kernel, I am running Ktoonz.

Your best bet is to re-install the rom to revert to the original.

As far as splitting it out, there is way too many options for me to want to pursue that, however: You can do it pretty easy:

Just unzip the install,

go into the theme you want to change,

Delete the Framework folder

Go into the apk folder,

Delete the apk folders you don't want (or go into the folders and delete the particular icons you don't want to change)

For the dialer only, delete every folder except for SecContacts and SecPhone.

ReZip up the folder, make sure you zip the same way the original file was zipped,

And you're ready to go, it will only mod what you left in there.

Easy.

Running Vision1.1 and get Messaging has stopped about reboot. Tried cleaning cache and force stop but it's a no go. But I also choose Vision X XML tweaks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Oh, hmmm.

Couple of options:

1) replace the mms app with this one from mgc Download MMS.apk

or

2) reload 1.1 (dirty flash) and don't choose the xml tweaks.

or

3) When I get home later I will create a different xml update for 1.1 that should resolve the issue. It looks like 1.3 is not backward compatible after all.

Sorry about that.

Thanks bud, will try this out now and post back. :good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Updated Aroma Installer

Updated Aroma Installer to have separate XML updates for

Vision X 1.1 and Vision X 1.3

This is for initial installs,

If a problem occurred after installing XML update, then the Rom will need to be re-flashed before using the new XML update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AxAtAx:
Yes..the message crashed a few times on me today...could it be the rom? I can run everything else on here...np at all.

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Does this one work? When I go back to mgc? I am on the VisX tmo rom right now...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
I have had no problems running this one on MGC 1.3, (it is the one you sent me)

Don't know if if works on 1.1, I didn't hear back from the requestor.

Side note: due to the philosophy of morphology and the multiple requests I have received where people want the dialer but not other parts of the themes, I will be releasing an updated version of this aroma installer that will allow people to piecemeal the install of my themes ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mrtzong:
sorry for my ignorance, but will this work on international galaxy i9505? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Yes, to be safe, do not try to install the XML tweaks.

The standard no xml install will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Customize to your hearts Content

New Aroma Install-

8 themes to choose from or Stock icons,

install just keyboard or dialer if you want

17 choices to customize or just install the full theme!

Choose XML tweaks for specific roms.

Otherwise no XML tweaks are included making them safe for all Galaxy S 4's

I checked and that one is themed my friend so it must be a different one , Thanks for responding my reply tho.

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Do you mind if i upload it here and you can look at it see if i missed something if that's ok with you my friend!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
In that case it has to be

incall_keypad_bg_01

and/or

incall_keypad_bg_01_onehand

of course, depending on the rom, it might be using

call_keypad_bg_04

to build it one row at a time.

All of these are in the phone.apk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Venom0642:

SLight update as of now for keyboard symbols

If you are using VisionX 1.3 and want the samsung keyboard symbols enabled,

you can either use this mod:

Download Enable Keyboard Symbols for VisionX 1.3

or re-download my installer and use the VisX1.3 xml tweak

TIP (if you don't want to install any of the themes, just choose a theme color, choose custom, and don't check any of the components, then you can select the xml tweak and finish the install)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
VisionX 1.3 xml tweaks work with 1.4 also

you can use visonx 1.3 xml tweaks with visionx 1.4

Should be last update for a while

Howdy, if anyone has downloaded the installer before the time of this post,

might want to download it one more time,

I changed a graphic button that other apps might use that was a little dark,

Now it is using the default button which is a light grey.

The good news is, I don't anticipate making anymore changes for a while,

it is all working pretty good as far as I can tell.

say, you think these themes will work on MF3? I am having to do a MF3 att version, bunch of others are wanting it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Yes, All the themes, including the new one, will be compatible with MF3, that is the base that SHOstock uses and they have been tested with that rom.

My problem with MF3 is that it doesn't have the Auto adjust base adjustment slider, so I probably will stick with the current version.

Now, I just need to come up with a name for the new Theme:

Electric Blue, Blue Vision, .... hmmm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AxAtAx:
A name for the themes? Would not be wise to use Vision in the name, because it can work on other roms right?

Ice Blue! yeah....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AxAtAx:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interscrilla:
Hi, (I messed up)

First of I was watching a stupid video from Youtube of upgrading android 4.1 to 4.2. Unfortunately I was stupid enough to not to gather more information and went ahead to download odin, android 4.2 file as well as another stupid Samsung file as (suggested in the video). So I started the upgrade and eventually in odin message came up with Failed.

I tried following the video multiple times but eventually the results were the same. After several hours of failed trying to upgrade I ended up restarting my phone which resulted in error ( Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.)

The problem is that I never had any Kies installed on my computer or ever had any backup of my device. Luckily I had setup my MicroSd card for pics and video storage which I recover.

Please advice me if I can recover my phone and if so How?

Thank You in advance for reading and help!

How can I disable automatic System Updates on my Galaxy S4 GTi9505?

Yesterday I got this phone, and today once I was connected to my WIFI, it began downloading a System Update bundle.

How can I disable this function to STOP updating these automatically?

Now, I dont even know what System updates or device updates the phone was installing now, but when the phone rebooted, it just said Device Successfully Updated. What was updated, I dont even know. I just pressed Install.

Android version is 4.2.2 even before this update bundle which I dont mind. So I dont know what updates were these.

Please help. And also want to DISABLE this auto updating as well....

So, I want to know two things here:

1. What device or update bundle was the phone installing? I got the phone since yesterday with Android 4.2.2.

2. How can I DISABLE these updates automatically?

And is there a way to check which device updates were installed now? Is it under the Settings somewhere?

Thx

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolkodz:
You need to disable the automatic download function for ota updates through the About Phone settings and then use an autorun manager to disable the software update processes on phone boot and that way you won't have to keep pressing "Remind me in 3 hours"
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsonlyme999:
Ok, where is the autorun manager found on the phone?

Or is this an app?

Anyway, I managed to disable or uncheck the settings for Auto download via the About Phone settings.

There are various rooted apps that can manage the autorunning of apps on boot. But BE CAREFUL if you do use one of these as although changes are reversible, its not nice to mess around in this area :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsonlyme999:
Trust me!!!!!! I will NOT ever ROOT my phone...Or do any of the flashing of ROMs and stuff like that. I read many many steps to do this and its too too risky to do.

I will just disable the automatic updating, thats all is there to it.
