will try to fix on next update mate. i don't use this so i had no idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmulla718:
Thanks boss
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PseudoChris:
Great Rom! Virgin Theme just needs a few tweaks.

Love the rom, great job on the debloat, leaving mostly just bare essentials so customization is easy. I haven't had any problems with it thus far and it's quick and efficient; I'll let you know how it goes as I have more time to play around on it.

A couple things I noticed:

- I definitely appreciate that you removed the audio files on startup/shutdown. (Stock oggs are SO loud..) I'd definitely be interested in seeing some custom animations for this rom in the future. :)

- As others have mentioned, the settings menu on my stock e-mail app was white on white and gVoice messages are difficult to read with a lot of black text on dark grey background.

If future versions of the theme come out I'd be happy to try them. And I'll try out some more apps on the theme to see if there are any other compatibility issues.

Thanks for all your work and for the solid rom!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
are you running just Apollyon and Virgin Theme? you should not have issues with GVoice. i have none with this app.

i did, however, confirm email app problems and will try to fix in next Theme update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PseudoChris:
I am, sorry I forgot to update my sig after flashing these. This is what it looks like for me.(see attachment) I'm not sure what I'd be doing wrong.. I initially restored voice from backup on TB, but I also re-installed the app from the market (after clearing cache and dalvik) with the same results. If you really don't have the problem with the voice app then I'll try a few more things, if you have an idea let me know. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i really have no idea as to why some are having this problem. i really am not. mine looks just like the screen shot i posted as proof. i'm running Apollyon v1 from a fresh install. then Virgin Theme v1.1 on top of it. no other mods or anything. my GVoice came from the market. not sure if Titanium Backup is part of the problem or not. but i can tell you that i never use that app. i like starting nice and fresh every single time i change a setup because it keeps issues to a minimum and enables me to pinpoint fixes when an issue pops up.

but i can't fix things that i can't reproduce unfortunately.

edit: i have done some more framework changes for the next update. whenever i get maps completely fixed when searching for a location, i'll know i've fixed all text issues regardless. and i'm pretty sure next update will do this since i've gone in and changed a bunch of values that were on the darker side. i haven't pushed these changes to my own device yet but should get a chance this weekend i hope.

edit: SecContacts bug is also part of the ROM but was not broken by me. it was originally broken with our firmware. currently trying to get the fix for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crt60:
Now you have a theme with some experience. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
alright, i have managed to fix the dark background. i had to "finagle" a workaround. turns out that some apps point directly to background_holo_dark.xml while some others point to a call in within styles.xml under windowBackground - all within framework-res. i just created a second background_holo_dark2.xml and will point the necessary apps to that as windowBackground. you're welcome ;)

this will fix things like Maps search and for those that seem to be having issues with GVoice, it will fix this as well. if it doesn't then start fresh, guys.

i'm also going to try and fix the create contact dark text and drop down when editing a contact while i'm in SecContacts but no promises ;)

MMS attach will come another day for another update since it's no big deal with the icons there.

edit: and i just found create contact text :)

looking for dropdown now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
06.20.13

-another update to Virgin Theme, v1.2

-themed volume adjust to AOSP

-fixed Maps dark background after searching and getting info for venue (hopefully fixed for GVoice for those having issues)

-fixed create/update existing contact text color

-fixed dropdown text color when editing a contact

i will finalize MMS on the next update. there were only two things here that i know need fixing. that may be the last update. i've fixed just about everything that everyone has brought to my attention. enjoy.

edit: Superuser dark theme is no longer legible. i'll try to fix this on the next update as well. in the mean time, the Light Theme works just fine :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] B3L13V3:
Hey man I really appreciate what you're doing with this ROM, the theme is tasteful but this last update really ****ed up allot of my app backgrounds from black or gradient to white. Root explorer is one, I'm running inverted apps also and some of those got white backgrounds now...email, Google voice...not sure what I can do to help and not sure why this is happening. I had a GS3 before this and it wasn't a problem, hoping this can get straightened out. Thanks for all you do!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
don't run inverted apps...

this is the same thing with Superuser. that's why the dark theme no longer works correctly. i'll try to explain...

inverted apps are doing a call in to background_dark_holo. to fix the backgrounds in apps like Maps, GVoice, etc i had to go into the background_dark_holo and change this so it's white. so now, when apps look for that xml, like an inverted app, it's still going to be white. so, don't use an inverted app because it's going to invert your text but not the background. that's the only way i could fix non-stock apps.

GVoice is supposed to have a white background. do you not see the posts above of some complaining that they had a dark background even though i didn't? thanks for confirming that i did indeed fix GVoice for others.

whomever did the inverted apps needs to re-do them. they are not stock apps and therefor not mine to fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] B3L13V3:
Hey thanks for the response! Can you point to where the background dark holo is hiding...I want to try something, maybe a grayish background might not make it look so funky? I'm sorry don't understand this as well as you and will also try to get in contact with team blackout see if there's any feedback about what I can do. I enjoy your Rom for the theming, I wouldn't want to leave but I also enjoy inverted apps...just wish I could find a balance...

Edit; upon further usage I found more and more apps that are not inverted that now have white backgrounds...is smali editing out of your league, I understand some devs invert this way, maybe it's too avoid these problems...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i will PM you

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] B3L13V3:
Patiently waiting:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
what you're waiting on is actually complete :)

i'm having a lot of trouble finalizing the Samsung Email app so it's more legible. it's a huge pain because a lot of things are pulled from framework and i don't have it with me to tweak. those who use this [email app] better love me for it, because i don't use this app at all and thus am only fixing it for them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] B3L13V3:
We all love you not for the email app, but for giving us a great rom with a great theme to go along with it!...aaand the email app lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
haha thanks mate :D

i apologize for it taking a while to get up. this update was done, i was just trying hardcore to finish up the Samsung Email app but it needs more work so it was not included in this release. i'm actually going to have to either start over with it or figure out a way to port the AOSP Email. it's better anyway as it goes back further than a month iirc.

06.25.13

-another update to Virgin Theme, v1.3

-more fixes to Contacts (account header color)

-reverted some changes introduced with v1.2 (backgrounds)

-fixed bacgrounds correctly

-SecMMS fixes (attach text, link color, phone# actionbar press color)

-font sizes reduced, most noticeable in Settings

enjoy

edit: ooo think i have finalized Contacts. just had to fix viewing of G+ profile updates and the account header when in edit mode

also think i have Email done. i need to do a framework edit for the menu text color and we'll be good to go. theme finalized? quite possibly!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
so, i've fixed the Email app so it's at least readable. i also fixed some more Contacts issues where i just happened to see things. with that being said, i believe the theme will be done after the next update. i should have it up later today if time permits. i have to do a framework compile still at home and merge the Contacts changes.

now i'm moving on to actual AOSP, which means AOSP ROMs. GE system dump is out and i'm about to give my own build of that a whirl.

new AOSP ROM sooooooon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
06.29.13

-another update to Virgin Theme, v1.4

-even moar fixes to Contacts (account header background in edit mode, G+ profile update viewing text colors)

-Samsung Email hopefully taken care of

-theme done?

sooo pretty sure VTheme is done :)

if you see anything else, please let me know. i will be theming blind since i'm now running my own GE ROM which i'm about to begin uploading for consumption. it's a very good base with some tweaking to actual apps that i know none of the other ROMs have [in our threads or i9505]. look out for that, should be up in a few hours, give or take.

oh, one more thing. i have to re-up a new "revert theme" zip. it's just to include the SecEmail app for reverting should anyone want to.. i'll do this after my GE build is up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mgbotoe:
Going to try out your theme ^.^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
awesome. you'll notice some subtle differences from the GE look, but it was never meant to be a full fledged look-alike of aosp :silly:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BlackGURU:
Awesome Rom & Theme, But In the Next Update, Can you pls add default bubble colors and type in message APK
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
in the thread i've mentioned why i had to change all of these colors (text, which needed bubble color change)

when you click in the text field and then hit menu>insert, the text colors you see there, next to smilies and etc, is controlled throughout the MMS app. so, if this remained black, it would be very difficult to see. it took me forever to figure out how to change this text color from black. and because the text color changed to a light color, it meant that the bubbles had to be changed.

TL;DR Virgin Theme is in a completed state until Apollyon becomes v2 (our next firmware update). then i will attempt to split those colors as well as do other misc updates to the theme :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BlackGURU:
Oh okay, Still Thanks for this beautiful Theme.

you're welcome!

Hi. Im loving this theme.

But there is a small issue. I cant switch to a different keyboard in the drop down menu after i installed this theme. any ideas what can be wrong?

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
the theme, and all of my ROMs, have this disabled. it's a personal annoyance of mine to see it in the status bar when I'm typing. the functionality of being able to switch keyboards is still there via your settings menu

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DroidOnRoids:
This kind of isn't related but it is so I may as well ask it. Why are a lot of these rom threads, including this one, getting 4 and 3 stars? Trolling? It kind of angers me as these roms have quality and hard work written all over them and to get only those kind of ratings lead me to believe it's trolling.

Btw, this rom is awesome! Love the theme!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:

Hello,

I can easyly syncronize with USB or Bluetooth.

I've set a WiFi connection to my ADSL router, it works fine, I can scan the LAN (with ScanIP) and see my PC, but no way to sync...

Though Active Sync 3.8 is installed.

Some of you succeeded, what's the magic ? ? ?

I struggled with this for awhile and could not get it working. The issue was I had was in the PC WINS setting I had left the LMHOSTS Lookup enabled. As soon as I unchecked that and had the Netbios tab checked it synced up. Thanks for the link. Now I can wifi sync. :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dtidmore:
another gotcha

I read every thread I could find on several forums regarding activesync via wifi and yet I could not get it to work. Then I finally read on a thread that the PPC network card "My network card connects to:"should be set to connect to WORK not The INTERNET. I changed that one setting and bingo, activesync instantly connected via wifi (I already had a partnership created while connected via USB). Of course to have the PPC connect to the Internet via wifi, you have to set it back but that is easy enough to accomplish.

Re: another gotcha

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dtidmore:
New problem...activesync connects but

Well, I had everything working, now I have a new issue. I can successfully sync via usb and BT connects. When turn off BT and then tell activesync running on the BA to sync, activesync on both the PC and the BA indicate that they are connected (as BT is off and the BA is out of the cradle, it is obvious that they are connected via WiFi at this point). Then the "looking for changes" meter starts advancing and when it gets about 1/3 of the way finished, it just stops. Both the PC and the BA still show connected and activesync still indicates that it is trying. After several minutes of the no more progress, the PC side activesync indicates that there was a synchronization error.

Any ideas. I have uninstalled activesync 3.8 and reinstalled. I have run the outlook repair utility just in case there was something weird with my outlook pst file (it was clean).

Thanks

I have this problem too - I find if i soft reset the unit (and sometimes my computer too) then it works fine. anyone got any ideas?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dtidmore:
Tried the soft reset ....

I tried the soft reset on the PPC as well as rebooting the PC and still activesync stops progressing during the sync process about 1/3 of the way thru and eventually reports the synchronization error. I have noted that during BT or usb syncing, the process pauses at the same place for just a split second and then zooms thru the remaining 2/3s of the process. It is like activesync is waiting for somekind of a handshake or acknowledgement from the PPC. I hope someone can shed some light on this.

:(

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] sgmanohar:
Re: Tried the soft reset ....

Have you tried turning off synchronise 'Files' in the activesync options? sometimes funny files can cause this problem?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dtidmore:
Only syncing...

The only things I am trying to sync are my contacts, tasks and calendar. I even tried unchecking even those items so that I was essentially NOT syncing anything but activesync via WiFi still stalls at about 1/3 complete. As I did have WiFi/ActiveSync working for a day or so with NO issues and nothing has changed (or I guess I should say, I changed nothing), this is a real mystery. :(

I apologize ahead of time if this is the wrong location or if the question has been answered before, but even after searching the forums here I still can't seem to find answers anywhere else.

I'm running Sentinel ROM 4.70 on an international Galaxy S3 (installed it last week, upgraded from the TouchWiz that came when I originally bought the S3), and I've spent the last week trying to figure out how to set the speed dial numbers I had before I installed Sentinel. Any advice on how to get this done?

Some tips for the install process
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
Downloading Gimli Firmware....:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
[MENTION=4555448]Yokav[/MENTION]

Gimli firmware is same as Stock firmware.

Feels like I wasted my time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yokav:
No no, don't be afraid, just read carefully the "How to install" please. ;)

You need two files, the "Gimli Firmware" in fact it's just the sony stock firmware which was deodex + zipalign + root + cwm. You can only install this file if you want but you will get the same thing as the sony stock firmware, no more, no less.

The second file is the "Gimli Rom" itself, that you need to install directly after the firmware, the "Gimli Rom" contains all the stuff, like mods, apps, ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
342 + 525 MB It wiil take 3 h more to download ROM. I will give review after Downloading ROM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yokav:
Yes, it's big... I'm waiting some feedback from users to known what should I do. :p

The file of the rom is big because it contains a lot of things, that you will install or not. For example, there is 8 themes. One theme will use ~25mg, so there is ~175mg only for themes.

So I can start to remove some things, to have a light rom but it's a little a the opposition of the incredible feature of the Aroma installer which let us select exactly what we want or not. :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gagan91:
Rom looks really promising ,, :D

Just one question . Can we flash sony stock firmware through flashtool and then flash a custom kernel to get cwm and then boot into recovery and flash the Rom file?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yokav:
No, you still have to install the Gimli Firmware before the Gimli Rom. You've to do this, because the sony stock firmware (ftf file) that you will install through flashtool is odexed when my firmware is deodexed. ;)

So you doesn't have to flash a ftf file if you use a custom kernel. Do like this, flash new kernel, boot directly into CWM, wipe system/data, then install Gimli Firmware & Rom. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theokoukoulis:
I am using cm9,1 ... can I flash the gilmi firmware without flash the stock ftf first ??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yokav:
No, the kernel of CM is not compatible... In fact, i'm not sure of this so you can try if you want ;) But generaly, it's like this CM kernel only works on CM.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ovan febriawan:

will review after 12 hours using :highfive:

===============================

i dont know why but in tweak menu aroma installer freeze.

so when i repeat instalation. i just click next in tweak menu :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yokav:
I make many many fresh install on my Sola and yes, that happen one time, it freezes during the install (when it copied the files).

Who's responsible... Aroma I suppose. It's an uncommon bug, so I will not warn the users about this.

It's an annoying bug, that's true, because the install process doesn't finish so you've to restart from start. :( But, when I discover this, I changed the install process to start the copy by the CWM & Root, which are the most important things. So if the install process bug during the copy, you should still use your phone. :)

Did you use the touchscreen or the manual keys? With the touchscreen, it could happen that Aroma freeze (but it could freeze in any menu). With the manual keys, it will never freeze. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ovan febriawan:
owh i didnt notice that :p sorry. i am to rush to try your rom :o

i can't copy APK to /system/app
