That's actually either a hardware issue or CM issue. I used to encounter it during CM 4.0.4 or whenever that Google Apps fiasco started. I ended up switching to a Hero ROM, and never got it again. I switched back to CM whatever it was back in early January and didn't encounter it again. If it is a software issue, then somewhere along the way of getting my phone set up for Hero, whatever data existed back then was wiped away too.

So I suggest you do a complete wipe(ext, swap, dalvik, basically a full wipe) if possible, then either reinstall CM or try a new ROM. If you still encounter the issue, then it's definitely a hardware issue.

Anyway, awesome job on the font fix! I'll definitely wait for the fix before flashing SuperD and the theme.
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Hey all!

Darkstar V1.0.2 is out, With a fix for the font issue on dwang and Super D, and also a fix for SMS bug in Dwang

Get it in OP

New font files are in CM version, but you wont notice a difference, So feel free to skip this one if you like.

if anyother theme devs or anyone else for that matter, is interested in how i fixed the font issue, then just ask.

Cache
[Android Themes] eessel:
can you please enlighten us on the new font that can be found in the CM version? What's it called? Thanks for the great work, btw! Lovin' this theme! Can't say that enough! :)
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
its not a new font, is a new version of the same font, its called Coconut for Android, i made it myself today, its not jusy in the CM version, its in all versions, and it simply fixes the ugly boxes that were present in Super D and Dwang Roms,.

This problem is not present in CM, but i have added the new font anyways, just to keep things as similar as posible.
[Android Themes] takumi2k4:
Woow, just flashed this along with SuperD and I must say, this is way way way faster than CM, and it still does look really pretty lol.

One thing though, is it just me or is the music widget a little bit off? I mean it fully works, but for some reason there's some kind of a gradient issue going on behind the song title and playlist area, some visible white lines in between the play and next buttons who are also a little bit too aliased.

Could this be a bug or something?
[Android Themes] Temporarily:
Fingers crossed for Open Eclair! :)
[Android Themes] law_ren_ce:
This theme allready works with open eclair 1.0.1. just download the intension version of the theme and flash it... tested this last night and it works perfect... i just added the deskclock app and the new music app from the super d version of this theme and it all works good. i can make an update.zip with the new font and those 2 apps if you would like???
[Android Themes] mark0:
are the cm updates offline? i am unable to download them
[Android Themes] icolinirie:
So I'm really a noob about this stuff. I have successfully installed themes on my MyTouch 32b before with cyanogenmod. I have updated to the latest 4.2.14 . So I went into cm updater and went to install the theme. It went through the usual reboot and install. But afterwards when it went to reboot it didn't install the theme at all? After it loaded to my home screen, I did another reboot and nothing changed at all. It's weird. The zip file doesn't show up at all on my sd card. It's really weird. Don't really know what I should do. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] Pfeffernuss:
It really looks ***incredibly*** sharp, my fave theme so far, by miles!

One small niggle (on SuperD 1.8 at least...): the name of the provider is dark grey, and is hard to read on the black background of the notification slider.

Otherwise all is perfect! Love the font, love the colors, love ALL! :D (well, the gradient appdrawer pull thingy I'm not very fond of but that's no biggie :cool:).

Oh and one other thing, when applying theme all the "Settings" entries are in English instead of the language selected in Locale... :confused:
[Android Themes] Lloir:
there's ALWAYS some sort of problem with this theme trying to download it from CM-UPDATER but yea it's not downloading at all this time
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Sorry, for the Music widget, you could say that it is currently in beta, we have ah to make a new one for teh new music.apk, but dont fret, we will be fixing this issue fairly soon.

They are not off line, but im hearing a number of issues about CM updater, i will be looking into what can be done.

Wierd, Looks like classes.dex in services.jar hasnt changed, id say flash back to stock Super D then flash Darkstar again over the top, then any optional extras you want.

For settings problem, that will be sorted in the next version, we are currently using a slightly older version of settings.apk, but its on the list to update for the next version.

Yeah, ill look into the CM Upadter Issues asap

[Android Themes] :
Cache,

The dark grey text has always been an issue no matter how many times you try to flash and reflash, I just learned to live with it lol

And as I've given up flashing just as well too :D
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
mines white, im on super D.

attached is a screen.
[Android Themes] Pfeffernuss:
Reflashed SuperD 1.8, on top your theme, still dark grey text ;)

I pushed Settings.apk from the original SuperD Rom back onto the phone, it's now in Dutch again. This won't do any harm otherwise I assume? :cool:

(only thing I noticed is that the Power Control widget is now back to it's SuperD-state, after pushing Settings.apk :confused:)
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Yup power widget is part of settings.apk, that is y we have an old version atm, as i havnt gotten around to skinning the new power widget, i believe that dan has almsot done that now though, so expect it in the next release.

Wierd about the grey text, ill work it out and post a fix for ya.
[Android Themes] HeroMeng:
I wish I could use this on AOSP 1.6. I have a dull theme.
[Android Themes] djosiah:
ok guys darkstar for kings eclair 1.4 rom is almost done. just need to adjust the power widget a bit and it should be ready for release.
[Android Themes] jdedeaux:
is the fix in for this for Dwang 17. where you could not send texts?
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Yeah that should be fixed in v.1.0.2
[Android Themes] LupinDaThird:
For whatever reason I don't have the keyboard that comes with this theme. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

p.s. I'm running Cyan
[Android Themes] mackster248:
It's not included in the actual theme. It's an additional option on the OP. Just DL it and install through Astro.
[Android Themes] codito:
Just flashed this theme from stock Dwang, and my battery is dropping REALLY fast. About 1 percent a minute. It was fine before on stock. I'm monitoring it via battery indicator which works so it's not some sort of misreporting.

*edit* it seems to have stopped. But it dropped to like 85 first for some reason from a full charge really fast.
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
codito: hmmm, if it happens again, can you use a power profiler to find out what app is doing it?
[Android Themes] law_ren_ce:
where is the power widget images located?
[Android Themes] takumi2k4:
Hey, can anybody on SuperD(and maybe other roms) confirm that installing the theme disables multi-touch in the gallery?

I recently installed the GMaps update from the market, and I thought that killed off the multi-touch in the gallery. I then wiped, then reinstalled the rom and MT works on stock SuperD, then I flashed the theme, then MT doesn't work anymore. MT in the browser and GMaps update(found here in XDA as the new update in the market doesn't do anything) is still fully functional, but MT in the gallery is pretty much dead.

Not sure why this is happening on SuperD though, as I'm pretty sure CM 4.2.13 and DS 1.0 had MT in the gallery...

@codito: That's actually quite normal. What happens is that the battery stats also gets restarted every time you turn on/off your phone. Quick example, look at the battery percentage right now, remember it and turn off/restart your phone and look at the battery percentage. It's most likely not the same, and it's probably a little bit higher than the number before. And if the issue still occurs, try conditioning your battery, that should fix it.
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
ripled in the other thread.

I think we are using an old version of camera.apk, will fox for next version.
[Android Themes] TheInfekted:
Just bringing up an idead that I brought up long ago that was ignored about the lockscreen for it I

thought about taking the eclair stericson lockscree and making the bar a translucent black bar or

have it be made with the same background that you'll see if you hold home long enough (not sure

what to call it) and making the icons on them green and where we are supposed to tap under it put

in small green letters 'tap'
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
stupid xda, made me double post!
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
@TheInfekted: i dont get it.
[Android Themes] TheInfekted:
I don't think I can explain it and idk howto make a mockup of it so ill drust draw and get the pic to u
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
sounds good to me
[Android Themes] insanedrunk:
why are all the greens in the theme different shades of green?
[Android Themes] kugelfish:
After having flashed this theme I noticed two things:

1.) using the google search widget forces a reboot (right after clicking the text field).

2.) if you open Gallery and click any "folder" it force closes.

I had to uninstall it. Other than that, it's pretty sweet.

I'm using a G1 with Super D 1.8.
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Cos we havnt really spent much time making usre everything is the same yet, we are trying to get the main parts of the theme how we want them, then we can go and clean stuff up and make everything uniform.

i am unable to reproduce the bug, so i would say flash back to Stock Super D, then boot into phone, then reboot in to recovery, delete cache, install darkstar, then fix uid mismaches (fix_permissions).

then boot. hopefully that will sort out your probs.

Hey guys so heres a screenshot for the next version:

Remind you of anything?

this is the original mockup:
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Darkstar V1.0.5 is Out get it whilst its hot

Currently for Super D and CM dwang to follow.

Enjoy, if people dont like the new launcher tab, ill put it back to how it used to be.
[Android Themes] Pfeffernuss:
I ***love*** the new launcher tab! Way more stylish than the previous one!

You cannot believe how thrilled I am with this theme... Everytime I use my phone I'm so happy, not kidding. :D

Great job!!! :)

P.S. Provider name is still dark grey though :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] beanboi:
1.0.5 is awesome. love the new music widget and the launcher. great work
[Android Themes] takumi2k4:
1.0.5 is really nice!

I'm digging the launcher tab, and the music widget... that's something else. I don't think anybody has been able to do that to the music widget(CMIIW though).

Oh yeah, MT is working in the gallery again, so thanks for the fix!

Anyway, great update! Keep up the good work.
[Android Themes] luffyd:
Awesome theme but the only thing I don't like is the black borders on the pages on ur browser anyway to get rid of it...its so ugly lol
[Android Themes] kugelfish:
Strange, I fully wiped my phone and flashed it over a clean (and running) Super D. I'll give the new version a shot tho.

I'm new to this, so I have a few questions as to your statement.

By delete cache you mean dalvik?

What does uid mismatches (fix_permissions) mean and how do I go about this?

Sorry if these questions may sound stupid.
[Android Themes] bunu:
Love 1.0.5

The launcher is so much better now and you fixed MT in the gallery!!!

v1.0.1 messed up flashing other themes for me because I get FC's all the time but I hope you fixed that with v1.0.5 (or did you do that on purpose so people will stick with your theme.:p)
[Android Themes] yeabryant:
should i just flash this by placing it on the root of my sd card an use amon ra recovery..or is there something else i should do before it?
[Android Themes] plugged_in_now:
I'm assuming that you are using a Cyanogen Rom, like 4.2.14.1 which you need to use this. But all you need to do is, yes you were correct,place it on the root of your SD and then flash this on top of the Cyanogen rom using Amon Ra. If you want, you could back up your phone, I like BART, but Nandroid is just as good. But really you'll be good and won't need to be wiping and flashing everything over again. Then after you flash Darkstar v1.0.5, you can then flash Stericson Lockscreen, and Alt Boot screen, Advanced launcher, etc if you want. Any other questions, just ask.
[Android Themes] SD2691:
Perfect!

I've always loved the look of this theme, but never used it because of all of those ugly squares, now they're gone!

I don't see myself using a different theme for a long time...this one is near perfect.

Thanks for all of your hard work!
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
do you mean the squished rounded corner things? that the next thing on my list to fix, i have been editing the XML of the browser furiously to no avail to get those to look right, however i have now got a new idea.

will try it and hopefully will bo sorted for next release.

na man, those questions are perfectly normal, you just never know how seasoned people are on android.

anyways, yeah i meant daliv cache.

and in for fix_permissions, if you have amons recovery, just go to other and click on fix uid mismaches, otherwise, go into the consol in recovery and type fix_permissions.

Hopefully that will sort out your problem.

Yeah i did that so our theme could rule all android phones, and creat some wierd android phone botnet.

Glad to see more people jumping over to the dark(star) side as the theme gets closer and closer to perfection.

In other news, has anyone else noticed, that the latest version of digital clock widget works with the theme fine now, dont know if it was what they cahnged or what i changed for the font, im guessing them.

but as you can see for my screen shots, looks very nice now.

[Android Themes] KingSkeme:
Is there anyway to get the stericson lockscreen withouth changing the original look of the theme? If I use it everything changes to orange and I really like the green with the transparent app drawer tab...can anyone help me out?
[Android Themes] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Can you fix the borders on twidroid as well? Or better yet just get rid of them? I always thought your theme looked better without anyway.
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
sorry there is nothing i can do about twidroid, as there source isnt avaliable to edit etc.

also, i really like the rouded edges, so they will stay in the theme, i believe that many people enjoy the rounded edges.

sorry

On the OP you will find links to the optional Stericson Lockscreen update for both super D and CM, if you install them, the theme will remain exactly the same, but you will have Stericson lockscreen.

Enjoy

[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
this doesnt changed you launcher.apk, therefore can not change the number of home screens you have. this ony changes famework-res.apk and settings.apk

it must be something else.

what apk? launcher? you cant really, but its opensource you can look at and downlaod the source code here: http://github.com/cyanogen/android_packages_apps_Launcher

[Android Themes] mr_deimos:
It's been a while since i last used Darkstar, and i must say it keeps getting better and better. Great work :)

I especially like the selected item highlight in the launcher and the music widget - i didn't even know it was possible to do a text glow like that :) It's still a bit harder to read outdoor on dark-ish wallpapers that the music widget from darkstar 0.4x, but much better than the previous version :) Maybe a little shadow under the entire widget could help? Something like in the search widget, just more transparent. The same goes for power control. Indoor looks amazing, but outdoor it tends to blend into the background, especially on dark grey wallpapers. Making disabled items a bit more transparent should help. Or maybe i just need to change my wallpaper :P

And another suggestion: how about changing the landscape launcher handle to one like this:

I just added a rounded upper edge and made it one pixel wider so that the round edge doesn't overlap the top bar rounding (if it did, the rounding antialiasing wouldn't look as it was supposed to). This way you will keep both top screen corners rounded when the app tray is extended in landscape mode. Not a big deal but it always bugged me ;) I attached the modified files just in case.

And another weird issue i noticed: the button glow in music app (and on app tray handle) still has some artifacts visible on bright wallpapers (left picture). While you probably saw this yourself, i don't know if you noticed that this artifacts disappear when you slide between screens (right picture)

Maybe this would be a clue on how to fix the issue?

Anyway, it's still one of the best themes around. Keep up the good work. I can't wait for advanced launcher update to 1.05 :)
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
Thanks for the launcher tab thing, ill add it into the next version of the theme, good idea.

as for the wierd artifacts, hadn't noticed the sliding thing, but yeah, unfortunatley, the way android handles PNG transparencies is less than stellar. no much we can do about it really. but it interesting that they look nice when sliding. wierd

I need help.

I was using the lastest CM build and I flashed the latest DarkStar theme. As you know some people don't like staying on one theme too long so I wanted to try out Enoch Theme.

I flashed the defang base, the latest cm build, and tried to flash enoch. I get forecloses the moment it boots up.

I been having this problem ever since DarkStar 1.0.1

If anyone can point me to a solution on:

1) restoring my ext partition so if I have to do a complete wipe I can

2) WTF am I doing wrong.

Since I'm not subbed to this thread (yet) I would appreciate it if you can PM me.
[Android Themes] mr_deimos:
I don't know what might cause the problem, but if you want to try a full-wipe solution, just flash what you need and eject the sd card before rebooting. Your ext3 won't be modified if it's not there so no need to back it up and nandroid will be enough ;) When you finish testing, turn the phone off, put the sd back in and go straight to recovery to restore a nandroid backup. Again, the rom itself won't boot so ext3 won't be modified.

If you want to back your ext3 up anyway, i guess the easiest way would be to use a PC with linux for that. Copying all the files from sd's ext3 partition to a local drive as root should do the trick (using root will give you access to all files and copying should preserve file owner and permissions). Note that you'll need to copy these files to a linux filesystem (like ext2/ext3/ext4) - attempting to put them on a FAT partition won't do the trick since FAT doesn't support file permissions. NTFS theoretically has support for security options but i don't think they're totally compatible with linux permissions system so i wouldn't risk it.
[Android Themes] Docavelli:
Cache. You killin' me man! I know you're a busy man but when you gonna show some love to some more eclairs? I was in love with this theme on dwang but I think eclair has become good enough where I might switch. I would love to have this on OpenEclair(1.1.5) again.

Pleeeeease!!!!!! :D

Alright cache,

I know you use Super D 1.8 and was wondering if you have run into any problems with mms? I can send them no problem but I can't receive them?!

Just wondering is this something similar to the problem that Dwangs had possibly?

Im having the same problem :(
[Android Themes] cacheinjection:
ill look into it mna, ill ask ben if he knows anything too.

@Docavelli eclair releases are coming soon. (mainly due to DJ's hard work)

Cheers cache,

I've asked ben in the thread too to see if there is a problem rom side, just maximising my chances of a fix asking in both :D
[Android Themes] KingSkeme:
Hmm...I just reflashed Super D back on my phone with no themes and I get MMS just fine...but they are labeled wrong. Whoever that sends it shows up as the first thing in the conversation.

Before I had Darkstar on and everything was working fine except for what I just mentioned. I did do a nandroid restore earlier after testing some things out and after that was when I started to not receive mms...so maybe its because of that?
[Android Themes] parker81:
which one do i use for TheOfficial roms?
[Android Themes] mark0:
Is there anyway to change from 5 main screens to 3
[Android Themes] takumi2k4:
I for one 2nd, 3rd, or whatever the MMS issue as well. I don't use it as much, but it kinda gets really annoying when somebody starts nagging on you coz you didn't reply back at the MMS lol.

Aside from that, the other bug I've encountered are with SMS: the messages get mixed around about 24 hours later or whenever Android decides to switch from the specific time you sent/got the text to whatever day it was.

Short example if you don't get what I mean: Text A was sent at 9PM, Text B 10PM and Text C at 11PM. Once Android decides to switch the timestamps to just the date itself it becomes something like this: Text A sent at 2/10, Text C sent at 2/10, Text B sent at 2/10.

It's not really a major bug IMO, but it's just something I thought I should mention before you release the next update.
