Flashing F1 Blue right now, thanks for the Theme Mez its awesome
[Android Themes] hotsammysliz:
This theme is just so awesome man. Your the first person this college student has ever donated to your theme is that great!. BTW im using f2 :)

OTHER THEMERS PLEASE DONT USE HIS DROID BOOT...id be so upset if he left (even though im still following on twitter lol)
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
Thanks for the motivation. Thank you for taking the time and donating. Very much appreciated.
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Very nice, i like the fact that you kept the skateboarding guy in.

Yesterday i've created a similar boot anim for my theme from the droid images but without the skateboarding guy and in red. I could skip it for next release if you like so than it won't be in for another 1.5-2 weeks.

And maybe by that time we get the real droid animation to work on AOSP so i can skip it altogether.

Let me know if that's ok with you.
[Android Themes] ggrant3876:
Awesome work as usual. The only thing, doesn't have any of your wallpapers in it.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
ahhh shiet, i forgot, im on it right now!!!
[Android Themes] lazzy81:
I keep getting corrupt file. setting.apk

Nevermind. Re Downloaded
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
are you negotiating with me, for my own work?? after 2-3 weeks you guys can use it, i just want something that will make M_Blend unique for at least 2-3 weeks. Like you, you have a great lock screen but i havent touched it cause its your exclusivity.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
which one are you downloading?

EDIT: ok no problem saw you re-downloaded.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
UPDATE: ok for the people who dont have wallpapers on Blue f1 please re-download. i have reuploaded the theme.
[Android Themes] crizznaig:
quick question, why isn't advanced launcher included in the actual theme anymore? why does it have to be flashed separately? code changes or something.. I just remember it used to come w/ them, and now it's provided separately and was curious ...
[Android Themes] djengizz:
Lol, no. I'm not negotiating anything.

I'm just noticing we had kind of the same idea and i've implemented this already before you announced it. It's not the same anyway and i didn't used anything from anyone except for the publicly available DUMPs. Nothing in my theme comes from other themes. Check this (and the timestamp): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4908024&postcount=499

I was trying to show some courtesy by offering to release it later so there would be no confusion about who made this and since i'm looking into porting the real thing (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582167)

And by the way: have you looked around? My lockscreen isn't exactly exclusive anymore is it?
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
oh no...!!! its your work use it, you dont need my go ahead. Im talking about my work, that i dont want someone else using atm... Dude, sorry i was confused, lol. its looks good, i like it. you made it look more modern if anything, I made it look like the stock G1 version.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
theres a warning about it in the first post. some people dont like the advanced launcher. also if it causes problems then its not apon me. advanced launcher is an option remember, i dont want to force anyone to use advanced launcher if they dont like it. life is about options.
[Android Themes] ggrant3876:
It was the red I downloaded without wallpapers, not blue.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
i hit you up on twitter.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Wow, this update is so nice. I love having the lockscreen, and the new icons (especially the red music icon). This was worth the wait, thank you so much.
[Android Themes] SickOfItAll:
Curious, on the blue theme, are the YouTube and Gmail icons still supposed to be red? Not sure how far you are going with the icon color changes so I just wanted to check first, since those logos originally have red in them.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
Yep, those are going to stay red like the originals.
[Android Themes] Chedderknight:
was just wondering, is there any difference in the milestones maps as compared to eclair 3.2.0 maps other than size of apk?
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
its suppose to come with google navigation, but you have to do more in order to get the navigation to work. Plus its an update.
[Android Themes] Chedderknight:
awesome thanks, went through the procedure for the navigaion, works awesome but uses up alot of resources, love the droid opening btw with the skater android, lol.
[Android Themes] rdriese:
Where is the post on getting the navigation to work? Is it in that jumbled up messy thread titled "Think Tank"?
[Android Themes] houseonfire:
It sure isn't in this thread.
[Android Themes] SickOfItAll:
You might want to hold off on that. It breaks some apps (like ChompSMS and HandCent) and makes stuff disappear from the market, since it makes your phone appear to be running 2.0. I'm reverting mine right now :(
[Android Themes] rdriese:
Thats fine...I dont use Chomp or Handcent....Id trade navigation for most of the useless apps in the market. My friend's Droid runs almost every app I have anyways soooo..... Help me to get this going.
[Android Themes] SickOfItAll:

I suggest reading everything before jumping in, because there are quite a few issues that you might encounter along the way.
[Android Themes] xidominicanoix:
if you only change the essential part of the build.trout.prop it won't break everything else .. i.e. don't rely on a build.trout.prop or build.prop that someone else uploaded .. read what it is you have to change and make the changes yourself and everything will work fine .. my handcent is working perfect nothings gone from my market and my phone is reading itself as 1.6 :D
[Android Themes] 3Shirts:
It broke Chomp for me but I just uninstalled and reinstalled it and its fine now
[Android Themes] kusotare:
Handcent is not compatable with 2.0 yet. The forum administrators on the handcent site have said theyre working on it.
[Android Themes] 3Shirts:
Just a quick update for those who don't follow SirMez on twitter. He replied to a tweet I posted saying "update is coming today. im working on it right now. getting ready it to work on cyan 4.2.4"

Yay
[Android Themes] houseonfire:
Awesome. Thanks for the info.

I can't wait
[Android Themes] 3Shirts:
Another twitter update:

4 mins ago "Red is done. Flash testing both and then uploading."
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
UPDATE a1

M_Blendv2.4.a1 Red & Blue

***Made compatible with cm-4.2.4.

UPDATE 2: Stericson Lock-screen will be added once i get the files for it. it wont take me that long.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
aawww crap new update will be out in 10 mins. progress bar is orange.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
M_Blendv2.4.a1.1 Red & Blue

*Fixes Progress bar color. No more orange.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
Question:

To save more space and really optimize your launcher, would you want me to remove wallpapers so that the launcher isnt heavy? I will make a seperate download for all wallpapers.
[Android Themes] 3Shirts:
Yeah, I have a few of my own wallpapers that I normally use anyway
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
This is a good idea, and I really love the new lockscreen you posted on twitter.
[Android Themes] 3Shirts:
I don't like that style of lockscreen becasue the icons aren't where you actually have to press. If you could actually press the icons in the dock then great but having to press the little dots at the bottom just isn't very slick
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
M_Blendv2.4.a2 Red & Blue

**New style Stericson-lockscreen.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Thank you for the quick update, now I can update to cm4.2.4 ;-)
[Android Themes] 3Shirts:
Lockscreen looks nice. As I said before, I'm not a massive fan of that style because of the way you have to press the little buttons at the bottom instead of the actual icons on the dock thing.

It's a personal taste thing though and you have made it optional so I'll just shut up complaining :)
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
do you have another download link? im not able to download the red or blue theme
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
Script For Google Map Voice Navigation

It was quite easy to get navigation enabled on google maps for anyone using this theme. I made a script that follows the same process I did, and though it should work, I have not tested it, so please let me know if it needs any fixes. It will back-up any necessary files to the sdcard, so there are no real worries in giving it a try.

1. Install Google Voice From the Market.

2. Unzip the file, and make sure the two files, build.trout.prop, and mapsnavmez.sh are on the sdcard.

3. Open the terminal and enter

su
sh sdcard/mapsnavmez.sh

This will do its work then reboot the. When it is back up, you should be set.
[Android Themes] hotsammysliz:
no prob dude keep up the awesome work!

oh btw could you request to follow me on twitter cause mine is protected from all those spam twitters and im always @ tweeting and RT to you but im sure you never see it lol. its hotsammysliz
[Android Themes] SickOfItAll:
Looking through the script, it appears the Maps.apk also needs to be present the SD card root, so you might want to add that to the list just for completeness. I'll give it a shot and let you know if I run into any issues. :cool:

ETA: It worked great! Handcent still works too. Thanks!
[Android Themes] thisoneguy:
Thanks for another outstanding upadate the new lock screen is sharp, but just needs to be polished a little more for my taste, main think the ICE screen laps over the button bar and makes it hard to read. Quick flash of the F2 update fixed that...thanks brother.
[Android Themes] icegad:
confirmed.. this works just had to uninstall google voice and install a couple times

and then i shed a tear of joy when i saw the word "Navigate"

great work
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
great work im going to be providing the the files needed in the upcoming updates so you sont have to keep doing this. it should be automatic.

yea im not feeling the lock-screen either. i think im going to revert to the previous one.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
The lack of maps in the zip is because mez has already included it in the theme, so the script just borrows the apk from system/app, then copies it back.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
UPDATE: i got many surprises coming on the next release. like i said im taking my time and release something big than small little chunks.
[Android Themes] cloverdale:
I am not sure the reason for this, but I am unable to run this theme (red) now without the phone locking up to the point of needing a three finger salute. I have wiped the phone, reformatted the sdcard, reinstalled the rom from the beginning, then after a clean boot up, installed the theme. I have tried with and without the lockscreen, with and without the advanced launcher, and it still happens. The phone seems to freeze after notifications of any type occur, and if the screen goes dark, it will not awake without a forced reboot. When running cm4.2.4 without the theme, these problems are non-existent. Though it is my favorite theme ever made for this phone (no hyperbole), after flashing, my phone is unusable. I do know what I am doing, and was sure to try everything, and isolate the problem before posting.

Edit: After some work, I have narrowed it down to an issue with my notifications, and believe the theme had nothing to do with it.
[Android Themes] monkey804:
hahah...I thought the new buttons on the new lock screen are broken..I kept touching them but nothing happened until I read a few pages back. I thought I did something wrong so I wiped and flashed and wiped and flashed 5 times.
[Android Themes] smithfb3:
New Lock screen

I love your themes, but I hate the new lock screen.

I'm staying with CM 4.2.3.1 and the f2 Theme you made for it.

I really want the new Cyanogen ROM, but I love your f2 theme with the pervious lock screen too much to part with it.

Just my 2 cents.

Revision: I broke down, reading the Thread for Cyanogen-4.2.5. I need it. So long SiR_Mez_Blend_b-2.3-f2 I'll miss you.

Sir*Mez, take your time, your themes are well worth the wait.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
ATM i dont have any of these issues. Thank you for taking your time to narrow it down. If i could fix that i would, but thats out of my hands.

no lockscreen if a bust, im going back to the other styled lockscreen. I dont like this one at all.

dont worry im going back to the lockscreen your writing about.
[Android Themes] kusotare:
Good thing you took the day off Mez, now you get to theme 4.2.5! :D
[Android Themes] aaron8301:
Vote for Green

Another vote for a green version. I'm currently rocking the blue version because, well, it rocks. But if you put out a green theme for CM 4.2.5, I'll buy you a sixer, my man.

I flashed CM 4.2.5, then re-flashed your blue theme, and it undid the contact list mods that CM 4.2.5 implemented. But I like your theme so much, I left it on anyway.

I'll be stoked if I get a green 4.2.5 theme!
[Android Themes] houseonfire:
Heh. Problem.

Your bandwidth is up on your image host.

You could try using your own computer as the host or try tinypic, or imageshack is nice. I like it.
[Android Themes] kusotare:
Yeah, photobucket sucks for that. This is why I pay 5 bucks a month to have my own hosting.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
pics are back. i use donation money for monthly payment on photobucket or anything else the theme needs. so thank you once again for all that donated!!!

photobucket owns tinypic.

**Google Navigation installed.

*Blur and 2.0 Animations.

*Awaiting Stericson Lockscreen for a2 update.
[Android Themes] detox702:
Hey. Sorry to be a bother. I have been all over google trying to figure this out. I had DarkDream, and it had a lockscreen with settings, then battery, then music controls, then ICE information. Is this the old screen that everyone seems to have liked and you are going back to, the new one that no one seems to have liked, or something that is not Stericson at all? I've looked in his thread, and on google etc and can't figure it out...

Edit: After searching through his thread, it seems that I do have a Stericson lockscreen. However, I'm still unsure if it is the 'new' or 'old' version.

Edit 2: After looking through pages and pages of different themes, it seems that the Stericson with the icons on the bottom is the 'old' version, which I had. And the one that looks more like Eclair with the rocker/arch/convex shape is the 'new' one. Is this correct?
[Android Themes] MasterBunnyFu:
Did you do anything other than just deleting the wallpaper files? I did that for the Advanced Launcher and it works, but I get acore force-closes when I open the Wallpaper Gallery (kind of dumb, but yeah).

Wondering if we'll get a proper stripped-down version of the Advanced Launcher?
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
Answers

idk if it old or not you havent provided me with what you flashed. plus if you flash another theme you should be asking the originator of the theme since he/she knows more about it then i do. I know about my theme/themes and no one elses. im nt trying to be harsh cause i know you need help, but help me by understanding what you have.

I didnt delete any wallpapers. I cleared them. your getting a force close because something is missing. you have to have all files present. im making a stripped and optimized launcher right now. i will upload in a few.
[Android Themes] kusotare:
Mez, looking spectacular as always. My only criticism (if you can even call it that) is that your little signature on the boot animation is all but invisible. I had to really squint hard to even see it. Might I suggest adding a touch of color to it so people can show off your name? :D
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
Updated advanced launcher.

M_Blend Advanced LauncherV3 Red & Blue

*Cleared Launcher of heavy wallpapers and fully optimized. Launcher went from 2.5Mb to 365Kb. If you want the wallpapers you have to download them from the first post.

*Changed some Icons.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
oh no that was the point, lol. i didnt want people to see it, i wanted it like that. its suppose to be low key. but thank you for wanting my name out there. i dont want that much fame. ;)
[Android Themes] kusotare:
You're too modest mez. A man who does great works should be recognized every time someone boots up their phone! :D
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
yea i know but i like things to look close to stock.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:

It will only show up after you apply the 4.2.5 cyanogen update.
[Android Themes] thisoneguy:
Hey Mez, thanks for another beautiful release - Now waiting on the lockscreen (i know its not you), flashing the F2 sends me into a boot loop...

This may be more of a personal annoyance than anything, but on the lockscreen (stericson or no), when you have an alarm set there is the rust colored alarm icon - just doesnt flow with the rest of the theme, again maybe a personal annoyance... I should get smart so I can fix it myself huh...lol. Thanks.
[Android Themes] cleveland danner:
I noticed the same thing but the theme flashed fine. Been running it for a few hours and haven't had any issues. I'm running red by the way
[Android Themes] Mi|enko:
It does the same exact thing if you've run the 1.6 Nav update. I'm thinking it loads the 2.0 build.prop just to get nav working and then deletes it (unconfirmed). But, since Nav works after installing this theme, that'd be my guess.
[Android Themes] dead2hill:
Makes lotza sense, ty for reply. I hung on boot, maybe I was too impatient, ill let it run a bit longer.

Going for blue*
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
You got questions, statement... I got Answers!!

I had to do that so i can delete certain files to make Google Nav work. Dont panic its OK, LOL.

Thank you!!

Ill check that out. thank you for pointing this out.

no it deletes stuff in the dalvik-cache and other places thats the old maps would save stuff on.

[Android Themes] _zygo_:
Great theme.

Hey SirMez. My first post on XDA! Nice theme. Runs perfectly on cyan 4.2.5, of course. I do the bare bones blue. It's understated and subtle. The effects are worthy and not there just for flash. The dialer mod is excellent. Makes my phone very cool. Good job.
[Android Themes] Mi|enko:
Hey Mez,

Hit you up on Twitter, but it's probably mixed in with everything else. Do you have a dedicated icon pack for this? Been using it for awhile, and it looks okay with the ProdSun icon pack that BetterAndroid released, but it's just not the same. Was hoping for a collection of the Black/Grey/Red icons dedicated to this theme.
[Android Themes] s15274n:
So, I watched the video. Don't you guys just normally d/load directly to your phone?

Also, you guys know you can release the home and power buttons when the g1 screen comes up right?

Curious, what are everyones settings in spare parts?
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
You got questions, statements... I got Answers!!

V3 is for the advanced launcher. below is the change log for M_Blend-v2.5a1.

sir i can add an icon pack for this. i did one yesterday but deleted it thinking no1 would use it, lol... DOH!! Ill do it again and ill post it up.

Question

When i flash the themesi flashed from red to blue. my market and youtube icons are still red?
[Android Themes] ggrant3876:
Awesome job as usual and the wallpaper download is great too.
[Android Themes] detox702:
I am having this problem as well. I flashed a stock cm 4.2.5, then a DarkDream theme, but my icons are still the M_Blend icons. Is there a way to get them back to normal?
[Android Themes] immyh:
on 4.2.5 and i flashed a1 and that worked fine but when i flash a2 for the lockscreen it hangs on g1 screen.
[Android Themes] detox702:
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but based on what I've read so far, a1 is built to work with 4.2.5, but a2 is only for up to 4.2.4. sir*mez has not yet released an a2 compatible with 4.2.5.
[Android Themes] dmm0816:
a2 isn't for 4.2.5 its for 4.2.4. he still has to update the lockscreen for 4.2.5, just flash a1 and you'll be good
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
Youtube stays red, so does gmail. These icons are red as original icons. Market should change color tho.

If you noticed, it reads v(2.4)a2=4.(2.4). No stericson lockscreen for cm4.2.5 has been released.

Stericson hasnt released the update to his lockscreen for 4.2.5. I will update as soon as he does. If there was an update it would of been up.
[Android Themes] SickOfItAll:
I posted about this on twitter but never got a response. I didn't download the wallpapers, because I don't use them, but I did go into the "Wallpaper Gallery" to see what happens (cuz I'm curious like that) and it shows a bunch of different shaped white squares where the thumbnails usually show up. Have you noticed this? Does something need to be cleared out?
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
You shouldn't have to worry about this. I can remove them so you have a force close if you'd like. Its there for a purpose whether its bigger or smaller it saves a force close. Wallpapers are seperate for download. Why would you worry about something that you or no one will use anymore?? lol
[Android Themes] djtoonjr:

Where can i get that wallapaer of the Android half blue and half red together?:confused:

[Android Themes] ChrisAC84:
I am running CM 4.2.5, flashed the Blue theme with the normal lockscreen. Can I flash the one with the other lockscreen or will that cause an issue since it isn't updated?

[Android Themes] SickOfItAll:
Never said I was worried, just thought you might be interested in polishing up something that makes your theme look sloppy ;)
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
i mean if white wallpapers need reshaping then i guess i will will reshaping. something else to add to the release.

UPDATE: Flashing testing **New COLOR** and testing it for a while, then releasing it.
