[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DraconicSeed:
So let me see if I have this now. Andy has a 100% working block mode as well as Surge. Andy hasn't released his particular method for the S4 to public access yet and Surge I think you said (in layman's terms) that the complex process you went through you didn't write it down and obviously if you had it would not be at the level i would understand it anyway. That all being said, if I am to see Enabled/Added Blocking mode on a Dev's rom, for instance sbreen's Hyperdrive since that's the one I'm most considering when I do get my GS4, what should I expect to see? Just blocks for sms, email and app notifications but not for phone or Alarm clock? Because quite honestly if that's the case that works perfectly for me because being in the military I can't afford to have my phone not recieve calls or have an alarm go off but I'm dreaming of being able to shut off the rest when I want. Also, does your blocking mode allow to pick and choose what is and isn't blocked or is an all or nothing kind of deal?

EDIT: I take that back. sbreen's Hyperdrive only says Call Block Menu. I'm assuming that means it'll only block calls from whomever you want it to as opposed to blocking all the other things as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I do have 100% blocking mode, it was always availble to anyone to use since I released it publicly for the SG3, out of respect I asked that DEVs wait for me to re-fine the MOD, ALTHOUGH, they still could have used it with credit..

as for Surge, I mis-read his post saying he had it working except for contacts (to which he may have it working now)

I am still going to release it publicly, just been busy, so that it can be a flashable.zip for those on stock ROM, and make it easier for DEVs to incorporate.

My post came out wrong, I wasn't trying to say that my way was the only way possible, just that it wasn't ready for public.

I hope this all makes sense to everyone.

Call/message block is found in settings, I also ported this to Verizon as they took it away from us..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
You know its replies like these that shows how great the development community can be. I was fully expecting a condescending response, Im glad you proved me wrong. I might have misunderstood a little of what you meant as well so sorry about that. But yeah contacts was definately the hard one. When I select contacts to block for phone calls theres no issues but when I select contacts to block to messaging it force closes really quick but reopens and when it reopens the contact that i was attempting to block for messaging is added to the list. ill pm you after I my phone gets done restoring itself from a back up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thank you for this post.

It's so hard trying to understand what people are trying to say through keyboard.

I am glad we are good, and we can work together!

Sorry again about my mis-reading

I am uploading the ME7/MDK blocking mode stock ROM .zips now :)

Im still on CleanROM 165. It is running so well I have not been motivated to switch even though development has stopped.

I hated the stock Touchwiz ROM until I tried Jelly Beans. Its buttery smooth and my battery lasts me atleast 24 hours before it starts asking to be plugged in.

I'm on eclipse tw 1.5 jb themed. On it for 2 weeks now and its awesome. Super fast no issues what so ever. Theming is legendary being that its somehow still touchwiz haha. Top ROM right now hands down. At least if you want jb theming and touchwiz with everything working.

^^^^+1 for me. Hyperdrive on my Vzw Developer Edition. Very Stable, dependable. Have not really explored many of the tons of tweaks. & mods yet. Looking like enough to keep me busy til Christmas unless someone ports Sourcery to GS4.

ROM Vote List

How can I vote for my daily driver it it wasn't included in the list. Bonestock should be at the top but it is nowhere to be found. What's up with this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cubarican84:
I second this motion. Bonestock gives us ME7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
Agreed. The ROMs listed in the poll are super dated, some hadn't been updated in 2 months at the time this thread was created while newer, more popular and currently supported ROMs are not listed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
So where is the actual link to vote? Only link I see in OP takes me to a list but didn't see any way to vote.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
+1 Doesn't the OP read the comments? I've been waiting for Andy's rom to be included; it's probably the best ME7 custom rom running right now. Andy has commented enough in this thread and still no mention for his hard work........

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

Either the OP should update the thread or have a Mod close it.

Make sure you are logged into XDA. If you are not the OP will show the poll results via bar graph. Once logged in you will see the option to vote.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
OK I have been watching and tallying the thread votes as well as the POLL...

Once created the POLL is locked even to me. I asked a few of the Moderators and they didn't answer on how to add more to the POLL...

I believe once it started I can't edit it to add more later. Might have to close it and start a new one... The problem is that who has the time search this whole forum under "Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 General" to see which ROMs are current and which ones are STABLE?

Like I stated in the OP post; I made the POLL off of the only list of ROMS created for our phones in the forum and I saw it was updated less than a week before I made the POLL.

I see now that theidoctor has now updated his list...

Ok I have the Note 2 GT-N7100 on O2 UK.

I previously had the S2 and rooted the phone fine.

I have never installed a custom rom on any phones before.

What I need is advice on what I need to do for me to get rid of bloat ware, free up loads of space and customize my phone with a different look.

I'm aware a custom rom is personal preference but I just need anyone to guide me or give me advice on what needs to be done to get my phone working faster and better with more space.

Thanks,

Aaron.
[Galaxy Note II General] sawdoctor:
If your happy with your rom you could just use titanium back up to uninstall any unwanted bloatware. For customisation there are lots of xposed mods that can really customise your phone
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
You don't have to do anything, really. Just always do a full wipe that's all.

To get rid of bloatware, I suggest ROM Cleaner :) head over to the Original Android Development section.

Will I be able to remove all the apps that come with the phone?

I need root also don't I?
[Galaxy Note II General] ashanub:
Well of course you need to root. If you need any help with that you could hit that root info tab on the note 2 main forum page. Also, if you are considering on flashing a ROM, I highly recommend Hawkish extreme ROM mainly due to the great battery life it gives and in your case, you can get rid of all the bloatware through the AROMA installer. But you could always get rid of bloat without flashing any ROMs by using those apps 'sawdoctor' & 'Simone' suggested. :)

[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
I'd suggest to root it and then use Titanium, not to REMOVE the apps you don't need but to FREEZE them. Then use the phone for a couple of days and if you don't experience any problems, you can remove the frozen apps. Much safer that way.
[Galaxy Note II General] aaronjunited:
Thank you for the suggestions and advice.
[Galaxy Note II General] coolkratos:
If u like the stock rom, then go for AliianceRom. Its similar to the stock Samsung ROM with some extra features

Or else there are many other custom ROMs if u wanna try new stuffs and experiment.
[Galaxy Note II General] Grant Barker:
I second this opinion. :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] amueedqazi:
Go for omega rom it's good
[Galaxy Note II General] kdogguk:
Please please please, once rooted, before flashing anything, backup the EFS.

Then as stated, use titanium to freeze apps before deleting them just in case.
[Galaxy Note II General] aliasretro:
I recommend Wanamlite.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.m0x:
I recommend rooted stock. More reliable than any custom rom or kernel.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] alirezaafkar:
same here ! i thought it is just me !
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
I'm sorry to hear the heavy themes (black, dark, light) appearently have stoppen working on the S3.

For now, I can only ask you guys to use the minimal versions or the play and xda theme. I'll add a warning to the download link.

I'm planning to rework the multicolor themes to get the xml back to a more reasonable size, but this won't happen within the next few days...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
So here is the reworked multicolor black theme. Please test the s**t out of it and

leave feedback

, so I now I can port the changes to other themes well.

The main difference is in how changing the color is handled. Recent version was an "all-in-one", meaning all 460 images where in one folder and the xml contained all code for every color (25k lines).

This test version is basically a single color theme, with one "live" images folder and additional folders for the pngs of each color.

The xml only contains the code for one color (brings it down to 10k lines).

When you pick another color in holofied settings, the ui.zip gets unpacked, the pngs of the desired color will becopied to the "live images" folder and a search and replace operation modifies the color values in the xml.

Afterwards the whole lot is being zipped again and copied to the theme folder.

In order to have the new color applied,

a reboot to recovery is performed

automatically. I'll add a dialog box for the final version, but currently this will happen right after choosing another color.

EDIT

Almost forgot, three more colors are added as well...

Does anybody have the dark theme of 2.6.3.1? The 2.7.x series doesn't seem to work at all on my device.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Have you tried the black version from my previous post? If that works, I'll now how to fix the dark theme as well.

Also, using the 2630 theme on a 2710 recovery is not recommended, as you won't have access to new features (eg vibration settings).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] k-semler:
I think you misunderstand. 2.7.0.0, and 2.7.1.0, (stock) do not work on my device at all, (well the recovery works fine, but I can't flash anything other than stock derived TW ROMS). Only with 2.6.3.1 can I get everything to work, (including flashing OTA updates of OmniROM). I'm not updating TWRP to the 2.7.x.x series until at least 2.7.2.x. I'm running the old themes because I *might* someday want to flash a Aroma based ROM. So, I need a Dark themed 2.6.3.1 so I can have my TWRP how I like it, (since the 2.7.x.x series does not work for me).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Thanks for clarification.

The 263X versions are still available in the download folder.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] alirezaafkar:
My problem is solved ! Thanks

All themes updated

03.07.2014

All themes updated

Implemented ability to flash .img files directly from the install page (thanks to [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] for the flashify script and his help polishing this feature)

Reworked color changing mechanism on black/dark/light (thanks to [MENTION=3359381]DSM_[/MENTION] for the idea and the zip binary)

Added 3 more highlight colors to black/dark/light

Restored default file list behaviour, bookmark function is now optional (enable it in Holofied Settings > Misc)

Fixed overlapping text on wipe page (occured on M8 and Skyrocket)

Fixed overlapping actionbar buttons on black/dark/light for some resolutions

About image flashing

The feature is tested on Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (grouper and flo)

It allows to flash .img files from recovery without the need for a flashable zip

Supported types are "boot", "recovery" and "radio / modem"

The install page now has a toggle to switch between zip files and images (see screenshots)

Simply choose the image, then select the image type and flash away

Also read the "about" text box before flashing :good:

The script works only on devices with standard "by-name" partition naming, thus it will not work on all devices the themes are available for

If your device is among the unsupported ones, the script will bail and wont flash the image - instead it will tell you you need to continue to use zips or apps

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] unhappybirthday:
Thanks for the time you've spent making these great themes. Is the new multicolor method now lightweight enough to support aroma installs on the S3?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
The xml is almost equal in size to the old minimal versions. If they worked for you, the new multicolor versions should too.

You can test with the aroma file manager. Using it was also impossible on the previous multicolor versions.

EDIT:

But then there have always been problems with huge installers (1 gig and more). They didn't work from the start, or at least not on all devices.

I remember a case where I could use a 1.5 gig Aroma installer on my girlfriends S3 no problem, but the dev of the rom (kryten2k I believe) had the installer crashing on his S3.

In a nutshell: bite the bullet and let us know.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Adam3Sixty:
Totally gutted, but totally understand.

No worries at all, thanx for making such an amazing theme, to cover up a god awful standard ui, on a great recovery.

You don't need to repack the recovery yourself. In case you want to use the splash images shown in op, just download one of the repacks from this link (repacked recoveries as flashable zips):

Any hints of fixing those aroma issues? I noticed the previous version I have doesn't have the fancy colour stuff, just a static colour. What would I need ti simply port over the changes to a static theme?

Still using your theme after all this time, on my S3 and S4 ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
I can't remember which version you're using. Send me a link and I'll update it for latest TWRP version and add the aroma fix.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Ditamae:
This may seem like overkill, but thanks so much for linking that .img editing tool. I was able to repackage one of your custom splash screens - and it looks great. I do have one quick question - is there a version of the curtain/splash that is only black/white (or grey)? My theme is black and white, with no blue, and I'd love the curtain to match, but I wasn't able to find one. In the preview it appears like there is one, but it may be a glitch in the slide show. Just curious. Again, thanks so much. :good:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
The previews are outdated. But the old b/w splash should still be available from the link in the how to.

I haven't gotten to uploading the new ones yet...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Ditamae:
Ah, okay. No worries. I pulled your curtain/splash screen from one of the repacked recovery zip files for the i9300 because the original source (Inkspace) link wasn't working.
