Hi stangdriver44, I've noticed that after flashing The Missing Link V2.4, it puts SecContacts, SecPhone and SecSettings.apk in system apps. These were previously symlinked in JellyVerse V4.

After having been properly educated by Stryke, I believe that having two versions of each could lead to undesirable outcomes over the long term. This can be quickly fixed with root explorer and TD's symlink tool. Thought it might be a good idea to let folks know.

That stated, it's just good sense to do a full backup anytime one modifies his or her device.

Thanks for the awesome Aroma installer. I and many others are thankful to have it.

hey micmars, did you get the sec's figured out ? I'm on jd's ROM and it has sec contacts and phone in preload and in system - sec settings is only in system - the contact and phone in system have a size of 0.00B so that means they are already symlinked correct ? I haven't reflashed Missing Link yet and just wondered if there is something I should do or check for before or after I flash it ?? man I can't grasp preload/system and symlink for some reason - lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Yup. Back up from recovery, run 2.4 The Missing Link, reboot, enjoy the look, open root explorer, move contacts and phone back to preload, then flash TD's symlink tool, reboot again, right as rain. Since you have settings in system apps, you can leave that where it resides.

Good luck.

This is only if you flash one of the dialer mods
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
oh OK - so since I usually use WOR's dialer mod I shouldnt have to worry about it then -

Tapped in from my rooted, O/C'd by pio_masaki Thrive
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Bill is right, your contacts and phone apps should be untouched if you do not pick the dialer mods.

That stated, if you want to have a look at permissions in system apps with root explorer before after running The Missing Link, it could do no harm.

Thank you for the info ans helping with the questions. I'm not sure of the problems this can create long term. I have been running Recaulked for quite some time now without any issues. I just loaded Project X 3.5 to give that a run and test a few more things I've added to the next update.Will check back later. Thanks again.

Oh yeah, White WiFi added. Always taking suggestions and recommendations

White WiFi, nice thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Hi, stangdriver44, thanks again for this Aroma installer, and the additional features.

As to having two versions of an app residing in the two places, preload and system, I believe some of the undesirable outcomes are more prevalent with apps that regularly update, like play store, Google search, &c. Either way, the premise being that these two apps could be competing for the same ground when running the phone. I'm unclear if one or the other takes precedence by default, but remotehugger and I had a bit of a dialog about it, which I ended up throwing into the noob thread out of the desire to open it up to a wider group (from an eyeballs standpoint).

TD weighed in with a bit more specificity on the matter, but I believe Stryke and TD threw the same advice to the both of us, that being it's something you don't want. Outcomes could include crashes, random reboots, and the like.

I'll update this with the post location, and correct for any misrepresentations if need be.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
I believe most of us devs have moved both SecContacts and SecPhone to Preload, but then there are the stock ROMs that still have it in system...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
So if Missing Link puts those two apps in system, could that cause a conflict?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using inverted blue xda premium
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes, what I did was delete the apps in Preload, moved the new SecContacts and SecPhone back to Preload and flashed TD's symlink tool.

We did the same basic steps. Cool.

Updated the OP

This update is getting deeper into framework theming and adding more option to what we already have. The new spinners are pretty cool, definitely will set your style apart. I have been running Project X since the last update with n problems. I have even left the apk files that get moved out of preload to system alone. Haven't seen any issues. Let me know of any issues or requests. Thank you as always

Ready for downloading!

Version 2.6 is ready for downloading here as well as the OP. Getting into the frameworks better in the new "Purple Kush" theme. Working on new ones as well as putting more into the existing options. Enjoy

there may see a couple minor sizing of a box or text. Let me know of any other bugs. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Outstanding work again, stangdriver44.

Love the themed top row when in the dialer. The boxes across the top are wider, so you have to slide over to contacts. I don't mind one jot, but figured I'd mention it. Love the new options.

A few other thoughts for those whom might like to play with this toy on multiple occasions.

I believe that it's been duly noted that multiple theming of the same mod could lead to it not sticking. Say you want to switch the dialer and digits combos. I've found that if you stuff the original apks from your rom of choice back into system apps (just unzip the rom and harvest those), reboot, you'll have an unthemed slate from which to start over. If this is a longer route than necessary, please correct me on this.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
That's excellent news.

Something I've noticed is that when you run the same mod from the newer version (in my case, framework) over a previous version, you do get some minor changes, like the wider top row in the dialer to which I referred above. See screen capture.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriver44:
That's funny you ask this because I have ported this to my girls Droid RAZR HD, which she helps me test and come up with new ideas. We were just talking tonight about this. I'm looking into adding thumbnail previews in Aroma (not sure if its possible) or the other option is posting screenshots. I would like to do that, there are just do many options that would take a very long time. Your request is on my drawing board though.

Update ready for download

Updated the OP for v3.0. Added more options to theme things the way you want. Sorry for the trial and error method of getting things the way you want. Aroma doesn't have the ability to show previews and there are so many variations to choose from screen shots would take long time to get in to place. It is WIP though. Let me know what you think. Are there too many options? Is it better to just get a pre-picked theme or is this better picking what you want and don't want? Enjoy

*****Download v3.0 here *****
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriver44:
These show an example of Divider Lines and the Themed Icons for power menu, also Themed missing icons in settings menu. Also shows the fixed top section of phone fitting on one page, no scrolling.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriver44:
Flashback for fresh start.

I posted two flashback zips in the OP to take you back to before Missing Link modified the apps. I've used them and they work very well! Faster that a restore or a dirty flash for sure. I also flash Missing Link right after in the same recovery session. Haven't had any issues so far. Let me know if you have any issues. Thanks

Flashback ReCaulked v1.4

Flashback Project X v3.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buckwildpimp101:
Total awesomeness!! This with project x = best thing ever!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriver44:
Project X is a great ROMs and with the options in Missing Link we can all make it our own.

Here's a shot of

"Touched by S4 Dailer Pad" with

"Dark Red numbers" you can also see

"Lonely Emo Background " in at work,

" Teal Signalbars" and

"Orange Data Icons".Then we have

"Green Glass Lockscreen Clock"

"Divider Lines are Purple Primary" and "

Green Secondary"

The other shot shows a little bit more of the more complete Theming of the icons.

The last one shows

"HD Orange Toggles",

"Samsung S Slider" with the

"Chrome Wheel Animated Pull-down". Hope the pics help. I will try and put something together to show previews so you can choose ahead of time.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
It's easier if everybody makes a nandroid before they flash a mod... But hey that's just me, I like having a working phone. I learned my lesson on my EVO Shift which is seemingly unbrickable but dang did I do some stupid stuff that took all day to recover from.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
It's like this, remotehugger. The Missing Link will send your phone to a very unfortunate bootloop if you haven't enough space in your system memory. Barebones probably trumps that issue, but I still don't flash anything without backing up.

If I'm changing roms, I backup and throw the entire contents of both storages before any major migration. This way, I have my contacts, mms logs, etc, and don't care if I have to do a one-click rooted restore.

Stangdriver44 doesn't know what cell provider you use, the themed SecPhone app you might like, and so it goes.

Things get even dicier with things like audio mods (going into Google play music with Ryan's audio mod causes a force close, but I don't care, because I like his mod over that setting), blended battery saving mods, etc. One person's delight is another's horror.

Plus, it themes stuff that's very important, like the Framework-res.apk, and SecSettings.apk. Trust me, you don't want to theme those like three different ways with this. Instead, just backup your current setup and flash away. If you don't like what it gave you, restore and start over.

Just backup and rip the shiz out of it.

Do you have to reselect glass mod once changing framework choice? Seems like it took it away and I had chosen leave alone? BareBonesPX...or did I do something wrong??? Prob the latter
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No4g4Me:
Can you add stock framework tw please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes, because it is part of the framework theming, so if you changed the framework you lose the glass mod and have to re-add it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No4g4Me:
And also stock pop up backgrounds

Sometimes id flash a framework and it would look to over glowed like a smudge instead of a clean shape icon. So I would like to go to stock if that happens. Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Yup. Rerun the mod and skip everything but the penultimate.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriver44:
This is true. All the framework themes have matching colored popup backgrounds with the exception of Orange(which is dark transparent). The option for Glass Mod in the installer is placed that way to install after Framework therefore overriding that part of framework.

In the OP I do mention the visual bug of the Glass Mods. This is caused by the variations in a patch 9.png vs .png files. My suggestion right now would be either flash option 1 or 2, they are the originals or just leave skip the mod leaving the Framework work its magic. They look great as is. That being said if anyone knows how and can guide me to the right place where I can change the original Jellyverse Glass Mod and maintain patch 9.png format that would be awesome!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
I wholeheartedly agree. I skipped the glass and transparency mods this go around, and must say that the blue framework looks even better without them. Thanks for this, stangdriver44. Outstanding work here.

Possible preview examples?

I know there are a lot of different choices and unless you flash it and view it and flash again to see another one there is no way to see what you're going to get. I was thinking something like I posted below might help? I only worked up a small example because that's all I had time for. Let me know if something like that would help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Visual Bug in 3.0

Thanks, stangdriver44!

I found a fairly significant visual bug in V3.0; when choosing the framework mod, when you try to install apps from unknown sources, the options to install/not install get chopped off, and I was unable to get the options to appear. I just noticed it a minute ago, and was able to avoid it by flashing V2.6.

Thanks again for all of your efforts in making this amazing tool.

Happy Monday!

Hi guys I'm having a strange problem with my sister's galaxy s2. For the second time she lost her IMEI without any reason (no flash ecc just turned off the phone and no IMEI when turned on). The last time I've been able to restore it and I made all the backups using efs pro, But this time when I try to restore it the procedure goes well but the imei is still missing. I tried to restore it manually and I discovered that for some reason the EFS folder is blocked on READ ONLY and I can't switch it in R/W. This problem is preventing me to restore the IMEI and I can't find any similar case on google. Can someone helps me with it?
