Crossroads...

So i am at a real crossroads here... And i really need feedback from you! Help me in choosing a path... As i do this for YOU, and not myself...

I have ported two themes into one... I have added options for both... Added my own stuff... Broken theme elements down for more diversity... And made them work together pretty well... Its become a morphology in a sense... Lots of sub options that overlay the themes themselves... I can take this in many different directions... I have been asked to add actual S4 themed applications (meaning stock look with the white backgrounds and such)... Ask for different options as far as batteries and backgrounds... Blah blah on and on... Fact is i can go in so many directions with this, its not even funny... I am all about the community and giving back, but this could end up being a gig worth of theme elements tied together...

So i ask this... Right now i was trying to keep things so they tied back to either base themes... Look and feel wise... But since you can use this just as a morphology without having to select a base theme... Where is it you want this to go? Do you want it to all work together no matter what you select, or do you really want it to be a morphology type deal that you CAN make work together... But where you don't have to if you don't want to... Sort of deal...

This is a rather slippery slope... Everyone will have to deal with the sheer size of the download... The sheer number of optional selections... And the sheer number of theme elements that may or may not work all that well together... The more options i provide, the more options people will want... Its natural... Not a bad thing, just something to keep in mind...

I have blah blah'd long enough... So please feel free to give me your feedback... And remember, if you would please... That i am not a team of people... Just one person doing what she can, when she can... For the community that i love...I may not always have the time others do to work on android, but i will also do my best to give you all what you deserve...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rail205:
Alexia, I for one love the idea of choosing and the size of the file really does not matter to me. So my vote is for morphology. Great to basically make a unique theme on my phone every day...your an Amazing woman. Shhh dont tell my wife..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Im happy with what you gave us so far. I dont care if you stop now. So whatever is easier for you.

I personally like the setup how it is but if thinks get to much more crowded you could possibly put images of the icons or themes in the selection of the aroma itself. And possibly one day your theming selection can be in the phone settings itself like tsm parts... that would be amazing. Before you made this I was constantly checking for roms and themes but im good now thank you. I will flash whatever you got lol, flash me harder.! !!!

I have a 64GB microSDXC card for a reason in my Note 2. I dare you to challenge it with any humongous sized file that you could ever throw at it with all the goodness and glorious options your theme can possibly offer. lolol....

((I say that with compassion and kindess)) =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tiffany84:
Hey Alexia, just wanted to say you are doing an amazing job! I hope people realize how much time and effort this actually takes and at least hits your thanks button. Your theming and dwith

ROM building is like a match made in heaven. Your skills are out of this world but if your plate ever gets too full and you need a hand feel free to let me know. I don't know much but I'll do what I can. Keep up the great work.

Amazing work.. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Backup fixed.. I can post it in the morning or tomorrow night if you want more options with it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
So small update:

I have posted the download link for 1.0.6... Just to be clear this ONLY fixes the auto backup in aroma... I decided to post this now over waiting, because dwitherell is already working on Tweaked 2.5,,, Tweaked 2.5 will have a few things added, things that i will need to capture in my theme... So i thought id wait for Tweaked to release, and while doing so add as many options as i could between now and then... I went this rout so you wouldnt be downloading theme update after theme update...

So, i did test 1.0.6... And its making a backup zip again... This was completely my fault... Somewhere in 22000+ images, i mixed my aroma folders up and left some files that i shouldnt have... Took a second set of eyes to catch my error... I have since cleaned my system up in hopes of preventing such a stupid thing...

I do apologize... I felt REALLY stupid... And still do...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Don't feel stupid, it's probably that dwitherell's fault for trying to mess with everything he can get his hands on ;)

I suppose I should go work on that 2.5 now... It won't have all that much changed - my updates are beginning to decrease in scope/extent/number of changes as I run out of ideas (or ideas begin exceeding my capacities) lol :)

You beat me. :)

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 AM ----------

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe I may have misinterpreted. For some reason I understood that I could make a backup of the stock theme and be able to elect to restore this backed-up stock theme in the event I repent after flashing another theme and desire to revert back to stock before attempting another theme. I flashed the theme and didn't see any message making me aware such a backup could be done.

So I thought maybe it was automatic.

Then I re-flashed the theme to change the wallpaper. Upon re-flashing I thought I would now see an option asking me if I want to restore my backed-up stock theme, but I didn't see that.

Maybe I misunderstood and I take responsibility for that.

Please set me straight. =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
From my understanding, its a zip file that we can flash separately to get the stock theme back.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Dang. Did I miss that somewhere? I already flashed the theme and do not have a copy of my stock theme in a flashable zip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
Found it. Several pages back.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
The backup flashable thing is something I did that extended what the vrtheme process did on its own anyway. Before, flashing a vrtheme would leave pre-vrthemed apks in a vrtheme-backup directory on your /sdcard/ - handy to be sure, but for the average user not all that easy to use as an "undo". I just tweaked it a little to have everything get zipped up into a flashable instead. Furthermore it appends the zip name w/ a timestamp of sorts to offer some sort of way of keeping everything organized.

WHAT THIS IS

- a means to undo everything that was done ON THAT FLASH - all you need to do is flash the Undovrtheme-blahblahtimestamp.zip in the /sdcard/vrthemeundo directory

- NOTE: This basically pulls whatever apks the vrtheme will modify and throws them into a zip before modifying - so if the apk was themed BEFORE flashing the vrtheme, then it would follow that the backup "undo" flashable would contain that same-themed apk (so it's not just a back-to-stock sort of thing)

WHAT THIS IS NOT

- a flashable that will guarantee you back-to-stock-theme aesthetics. Sure, it will on the condition that you were in such a state prior to flashing the vrtheme zip, but that is the only case.

So the take home is this that the vrtheme creates a flashable UNDO WHAT I JUST DID zip. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Gotcha thats an awesome idea so you dont have to keep restoring if you want to try other themes. In my case I have to restore to a bare stock version of tweaked I have set up my way then theme it with the new zip. Gotcha thanks for this.

Alexia my maps icon is not themeing for some reason. I tryed all the correct steps to get it to theme. Any ideas. Also is Snote icon themed? I dont see it on the list but my snote icon is themed in the system/app folder somehow and not on homescreen.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
I am going to look at making a flash over theme for updates from the market with icons... Or, maybe just build what i need to into the current zip... I havent decided yet... The current method seems to be hit or miss... And annoying as hell...

I will for sure look into it... Sorry for the delay in my reply... I have been helping a few other people with themes of their own, so its cut into what time i have for my own work...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
On that note, I use Nova Launcher, which lets me swap out icons on any app to my heart's content. With that feature available, would it be possible to have a zip of all the icon images? This way we can apply the images as icon images and have it stick permanently. I currently do this with Superman images as icons. =)

Not sure if this is a good idea. Just a thought. =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Sure... I can do that for ya...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Thanks sounds awesome!

Wish I could break through the screen and give ya a big, Puerto Rican bear hug! :)

Thank you so much.

Really, this helps. Sometimes when an app with a themed icon updates like Chrome or something, said theme gets lost and stock image comes back. Then ya gotta do these few steps to get the themed icon image back again. But this way, with Nova, I can bypass that all together, long press an app, select 'Edit', tap on icon image, navigate to my library of images, replace default app image with one of my own (or your own) and BAM! So thank you so much. =)

Holly f*#k, Alexia from the old S2 AOKP team, theme'ing on the Note 2!!! wTf, epic moment. Good to see you over here, thought I saw you pop in, in the unofficial AOKP thread, sweat. Still shocked, and excited, Lol. Welcome...."bows forward". :thumbup::eek::thumbup::):thumbup: I still remember the work you did on the 2.3 Juggernaut rom, with Whitehawkx. Mmm....good times, goodtimes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Shhh... People will start to think I am old!

No but for real, thanks so much! Those were the days for sure... I was the only themer for AOKP back then... Carried that bish :)... Enjoy this theme... It's pretty good stuff...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mysticfrog:
Old!?! come on Alexia that was only like a year and a half ago.... I guess in phone years it would seem "forever ago" good stuff tho....

I cant wait until you get the icon thing done. I took the newest Tweaked update and had to retheme and of course the same couple icons i had themed before the update now wont theme.:banghead:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Myself and Dwitherell are looking at another option for the icons... It would (we hope) prevent having to select icon options... And (we hope) prevent me from having to manually catch market updates...

More to come of course, we are digging at it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
You use Nova? I can't wait, either....I'd like to use the icon images on other apps as well. Example: that sick video player icon image. I'd like to attach that icon image to "MX Player" instead, since it's my main video player over the built-in player. Or reusing the music player's themed icon image on another more preferred music player I'd use instead. Can't wait for the icon image pack so I can use them on apps I've downloaded. Contacts+, etc...

I lost my icon image for gmail.apk, talk.apk, also. But using the images on other apps of similar function would be great. One video app swapped out for another video app, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Icons for you... Icons for all...

Download me some icons!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Pending doing some magic.. I have create a zip full of icons for everyone to use...

They can be found in the download section, or right above this post...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] llCLasSickll:
Is there a certain method to use to flash this? I tried just flashing it failed then I wiped div/cash still failed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Its not a flash zip... People asked for just icons, so they could use them with Nova and such... Here you can do a manual swap of icons... So i just supplied a zip with images...

We will get something flash worthy as soon as possible... We are looking at all the best options to get icons working correctly, that way we dont have issues like "backup and delete, then restore and flash theme again"... Who knows, one day maybe we take TSM to a whole new level...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] llCLasSickll:

Sorry if this is a dumb request for this thead but is it possible you can put home and locked screen rotation? I would rather it be built into the system rather than an app draining my battery. Or if anyone knows where a flash for this is?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Rotation isn't a theme-based feature, thereby making this thread, as you stated, the wrong place to ask for your request. Please refer to opening up a separate thread with questions such as this. It's all gravy, though...I think I may be able to help. =)

Xposed Framework has mods for this. There's an Xposed toolkit released by MoDaCo that has 39 very unique Xposed mods to which rotation is also included (at the framework level and not 3rd party apps that drain battery). That can be found at this link:

http://www.modaco.com/topic/361634-xmod-modaco-toolkit-for-xposed-framework/

Hopefully this helps. Please PM me any question that's off-topic away from this thread's intention.

I, myself, was just playing with rotation just today before I noticed your inquiry, so I'm on the same path as you.

Let me know (in PM)

Update: got it working. PM me for details.
