[One (M7) Android Development] pklunavat:
i categorically disagree with almost all of your observations. no tweaks were set when i started using the first theme. the second one was an immediate replacement without getting into tweaks.

my tweaks are to the following menus (almost all done after i stopped theming):

status bar > battery options > battery icon replaced via hub (after i stopped with the themes)

prism launcher > icon pack > candid (after 2nd theme, i think, or 3rd)

colors > background color in app (after i stopped the themes)

colors > header bar > header background color (after i stopped with the themes)

keyboard... > volume wake (after i stopped with the themes)

keyboard... > volume down screen off (after i stopped with the themes)

keyboard... > long-press actions > home long-press (after i stopped with the themes)

keyboard... > long-press actions > back long-press (after i stopped with the themes)

misc > led control > flash while charging (after i stopped with the themes)

let me get back to the reason for my initial participation: somebody wrote that they suspected that themes might be the reason for their issues. i stepped in and relayed my experience. so, i am NOT the only one having issues.

i do not have the same issues with all of these themes. i had DIFFERENT issues at different moments with these various themes.

yes!!! the themes are PERHAPS conflicting with something i set in my tweaks. but isn't that the point of testing them before launch? that any permutation of settings will NOT cause a crash? or do you know something about programming QC and rigor that i do not?

i did try to troubleshoot the issue myself. look it, it is harder, riskier and more time consuming to root our fones than it is to install a theme (or five!!!) and it is easier to see what might or might not work. guess what worked? no themes... that was me trouble-shooting my own mess.

i do not find it (consistently) useful to come out here and post my problems. it is hit or miss. sometimes someone steps up and sometimes no one does. now, what should i do with my US$500 fone in the meantime? paperweight it? so, it is neither feasible, nor practical to troubleshoot a theme. an OS is a different issue. i MIGHT have patience in troubleshooting a rom issue. but even then, i would bail and move to a stable rom. my work demands that i be reachable.

also, there is a fine line between communal spirit and charitable contribution abuse. i mean, these people put in hard work to allow us to enjoy our devices with far greater freedom than other operating systems allow. getting on the boards every time i have a problem is asking for too much help, and asking to be ignored. i prefer to avoid both.

i digress. getting back on topic, there are two possibilities for conflict:

1. at some point in the beginning of my viper experience, i lost the ability to mount my fone as a usb drive. that might be a kernel issue. but i did replace the kernel and it did not help.

2. i started to use nova launcher almost immediately. and maybe there is a conflict between nova launcher and these themes on my set-up.

anyway, i am ranting. i just wanted to say, i disagree with your premise of a lack of effort or interest on my part. basta! :good:
