Webstar:

One thing I would really like to see when/if you feel so inclined is a Dark Blue/Silver Themed release with a business/professional font. Sort of similar to the 9th of 13 screenshots taken here:

http://www.engadget.com/photos/android-3-0-honeycomb-preview-emulator-hands-on/#3821345

It would be cool if it was similar to Blue Steel Theme, but a couple of shades darker. It would then be really cool if someone could do a dark blue/black/silver looking boot animation, and if the swype/dialer was themed that way too, it would be wicked!

Not sure if anyone else would find that of interest.

Also whilst I am making requests, and again only if you feel inclined, it would be awesome if the camera had an option to upload directly to a picture sharing facitility like imageshack.us and could email the direct link afterward.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AsgardCurse:
I fully agree, I usually try to "back up" my feature requests with a link or something to where the feature is, as in Call Recording or as in the T9 "problem" where I understand that we're not that many that use it, tell others how to fix it for themselves.

I also understand why not always a "deadline" can be held. However, I have to agree with some complains that if something is said "tomorrow" and "tomorrow" comes, it's said to be "tomorrow" again and going on for a few days, some "might" start to ask themselves: Will this ever come? Am I just having my hopes up for nothing?

I've tried a few diff ROMs on the Galaxy, but it seems I'm always coming back to Ultimate ROM, simply, because it's the best. Well done Webstar1
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] networkn:
Yup I would agree on this, if deadlines are repeatedly missed then it gets to be frustrating especially as this is such a cool toy and as a result we all look forward to these updates a fair amount. I think the take home message here is.. Set a deadline far enough away to give yourself breathing space so you have some time left over. You can always release early (Though only ROMS!), and then look like you underpromised and over delivered!

@webstar

The most popular rom out there have some type of building options for end user - insanity has a lot of optional filers to download and install separately, darkyy has semi kitchen script, doc has got full scale script, Jim provides a lot of alternative themes for different users as well as his rom famous for stability. Well, maybe you can come up with some options for your rom? Maybe the way insanity has? What do you think?

However, as far as I can see, your rom gaining very quickly, I believe because it's stable and you are very quick responder.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
I like to get feedback from users.

And I agree my deadlines are appauling and I can be a bit more motivated, will add more themes but the majority of themes in the theme section are comparable with my rom even if they don't say so.

EDIT: My rom is special because I don't need a kitchen to make everyone happy, I have created one zip that impresses everyone ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
I will add those AsgardCurse ;) , thanks.

@webstar

What do you mean about your screen?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] networkn:
Webstar, can I recommend that you find someone to help you with your project? It will probably assist with the workload, and a second opinion when working might be a good experience for both parties. Ideally find someone else who likes the parts of making a rom that you don't or that has experience in areas you might find difficult.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] paarry:
I was very much disappointed by flashing it. at d start I m using his MIUI clone port even nw. I was vry much disappointed wen I flashed all his ROMs frm d beginning starting wit his 1st ultimate ROM v1. in every ROM till this v7.0 he is using this ugly notification icons n no improvements. I flashed this ROM got upset seeing the notification icons n had lose all d data I had n flash back 2 MIUI port.

I was a bit tensed while while writing d previous post. sorry fr d words. but he really could keep d stock notifications or provide a better theme so tat d icons of wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, silent, auto rotation blend well. The notification control icons presently in v7.0 is d power control widget in android. it looks d same. it was better in v6.5 as he was using d midnight theme as default in his ROM.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] paarry:
yes. its available fr JPY. i found tat theme on darkyrom.com. he was using it. i used ultimate ROM v6.5 fr a week.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brack11:
Some things are not configurable by themes, e.g. app icons
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mrnikt:
networkn, webstar

Please, don't get me wrong... I undestand that making that ROM is not Webstar's job. I appreciate deeply that he spends his free time to create ROM.. but... If you want to have a dedicated users please give them a little bit more support. I love you ROM and there is only one thing that stops me from flashin my SGS with it again. I asked twice how to restore stock clock. NO ANSWER. I think that it's quite easy to make. But if I dont have your or any other more experienced ROM user answer, I'm forced to go back to other ROM. As someone said in this thread. A little bit dedication :)

But , not to make you A BIG BAD DEVELOPER who is not listening to user :) I have problem with MMS on Darky's ROM ... and again no support :).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
Theres so many post, I couldnt read it, I will sure add as a addon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AsgardCurse:
True, most apps use their own icons.

Some launchers can change some icons, as the "quick link" icons at the bottom to browser, messages, contacts, etc.. but besides those, I've never seen any app icon being configurable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AsgardCurse:
I think one of the problems is the tread subscriptions, I have it set to email me every new post, but far from all posts comes as email, so I check the thread manually from time to time, when it comes to an insane thread as Darkys with hundreds of posts with people who ask how to install, or ask why Darky bricked their phone(people don't even seems to read the first post on how to install). It's hard to filter out the interesting posts, it's a bit better here, but still, all posts don't come as email.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ionutz6:
My personal feedback about Ultimate 7.0:

- it feels a bit slower/lagish than 6.5 with no lagfix and the same amount of apps installed. It is either the new kernel, or just my feeling, but i doubt it is only a feeling.

- it feels a bit more power-consuming than 6.5. again might be the kernel or just a feeling.

- in the incoming call screen the answer/reject buttons are not ok (mentioned by others as well)

- in Gingerbread keyboard settings, pressing Input language does FC.

Apart from these points, it really looks to me as the best SGS ROM around. And I've been to several others, including darkys and docs...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mrnikt:
Webstar1 :) Thanks, but please tell me just how to remowe DeskClock and make ClockPackage.apk default clock.

I deleted DeskClock.apk from /system/app and copied ClockPackage.apk and ClockPackage.odex to this folder... but after reboot ... no success. Missing Clock icon and no clock at all.

I simply don't understand the way you are making ROM so I don't know how to "switch" application.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rumble6059:
just a quick question, which version of SpeedMod's Kernel were you using in V6.5? i tried flashing the latest Kernels [Q and today R] and they keep causing my phone to freeze so i want to flash back to the one that you used in 6.5.

currently i have flashed back to K12L as thats the latest one on his site [apartform K12Q] but i dont think thats the one that you used.

can you let me know so i can try and re-flash that one?

thanks Matt
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
U need deodex version, don't worry ill do it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
Just upgrade to v7.0
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bartoszradka:
Webstar when are you planning to post download link to miui rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rumble6059:
i did,but it kept freezing my phone [think it was the Kernel], so i re-installed V6.5.

since then flashing the new speedmods have froze it again, so thats the reason i wanted to know which speedmod was in v 6.5.

thanks Matt

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
Another question to my users, is my rom stable?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
I disagree with u, the tabs in the notifications are slim, making ur notifications more neater the default ones or in most themes they just take up toooooo much space, I like stuff nice, simple and easy to use whilst maintaining quality speed and feautures, that's what ULTIMATE is all about.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AsgardCurse:
In my opinion, yes, I've never noticed any FC or something on Ultimate.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kiralina:
Webstar,

From my point of view the rom is stable. The only FC that I noticed was in gingerbread keyboard(changing input languages) and it was already mentioned. I used the fix suggested some pages back(installed the gingerbread keyboard from the Insanity rom thread).

Best rom on the "market" for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
A request from you lot. Can someone make an app which will provide download addons for my rom, very simple but anyone?

Anyone willing to? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
Why is it that when I request a thing, no posts........... nobody really wants to contribute something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AsgardCurse:
I would if I could. I've planned to look in to Android coding, but my Java is rustier then my xml is bad..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James.q:
what everybody has said here is mostly true but there is one more thing that is very important to mostly everybody out there and that is the opportunity to choose (mostly concerning the interface).

the people like the kind of thing darky introduced in his new 9.0.1/2 and that is the freedom to choose just before the installation of ROM itself what to install and what to not (or so to speak).

Also what is really appealing is different set of icons (personaly to me O:) , for example insanity offers his ROM with stock icons and than offers gigerbread icons download) or the whole skins availible.

to sum it up, people like to think they're in control and they feel like it when they can choose from something even if those options are basicaly the same (people are easy to fool :)).

customisation of your ROM would be nice - the other aspects are very good as they are -> its SILKY smooth and blazing fast without lag fix and there are almast no bugs (and no major one). You're at the point where you offer something amazing and what you can add are mostly the little things that will make it sparkle and shine :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bartoszradka:
Anyone knows where can I find download link to the miui rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James.q:
as for the second question the rom is VERY stable and again VERY smooth and fast

btw I would help but I have no coding knowledge, however I do have two friends that form a team with me and other guy who we are looking for to develop some apps/games. As we had a period of testing lately in our schools we couldnt get together but we have some time now so I could ask them if you want.

the issue is that so far we havent done much so it would depend on what you need from the app :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] networkn:
Hi There!

I think the problem is that most people here including me don't have a clue about android/coding, so we aren't in a position to assist. Perhaps you should consider approaching one of the smaller rom makers and suggesting a collaboration as earlier recommended to assist?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James.q:
oh the very last thing !!!

if you want to appeal to more people the first impression counts !!! therefore the first post should contain some screenshots rather than just link + the download link should state the version and maybe offer DL for older versions, by doing so you will create a very good first impression and people will try it:

rather than:

Download:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wcg707:
Are you referring to apk or something along Doc's kitchen? Can't you use ROM Manager for this?

Anyway, please elaborate a bit what do you need to be done.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
My rom as a base then have addons to download toeet your needs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
Nice recommendations but the app will give that freedom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rumble6059:
the problem i have with that is that i dont want to loose all my apps and settings [like game scores, messages Etc]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ionutz6:
indeed, this would make your rom a lot more popular...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] networkn:
Another point would be, and don't get me wrong here is.. what if your ROM was wildly more popular, it would need more support, require more time, need more attention etc, do you have the time on your own for something of that magnitude? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AyeGee:
Is there any way to flash this without Clockwork? I can't find a guide of how to flash with Clockwork anywhere. I just end up in Android Recovery everytime I try.

EDIT: Because I was a little cranky in the first post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mrnikt:
I have solved clock problem. Just copied deodexed apk from other ROM.

But there is a little more.

1. Settings ->Wireless and network -> Synchronise makes FC. Other options in this menu are OK.

2. Battery is 80% but when connected to charger shows FULL.

P.S. Webstar1 - I have you ROM again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
1) new problem, confirmed

2)known, fixed in v7.2

Thanks forvusing my rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AyeGee:
I would love to try out your SGS rom, but please post a quick guide of how to install your rom. Ive only used Odin for flashing until now.

What Ive tried.

1. My phone was allready rooted, so I installed Rom Manager.

2. Install Rom from SD

3. Chose Ultimate.zip downloaded from this thread

4. Phone reboots into Android Recovery

5. Nothing more happens.

What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
Go to rom manager flash clockwork, reboot into recovery, if it goes to sanding recovery then click apply sd card update.zip, then in clockwork choose zip from sd card, choose ultimate and click yes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AyeGee:
It went into Android system recovery 3e and i hit apply sdcard:update.zip, but i get

E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] islandboy_2000:
Thanks for the update. Gonna stick with 6.5 though as I like the default theme with the futuristic look better than the default Launcher pro one that comes with 7.0.

Thanks for the hard work again!:cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James.q:
if you already have the clockworkmod recovery than you should do this:

scroll down to "install file from zip (or something like that)" -> choose zip from SD card and than locate the zip file that you want to install (ex. Ultimate 7.0.zip)

you cant do what you just did simply because you dont have a file named update.zip but file called Ultimate(something)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James.q:
btw webstar, if it would be possible it would be nice to have the themes from your older releases availible (not sure if its easy to extract but if it was, it would be nice) as many people here liked different one from the last three you used.

so for example:

Themes:

ultimate 6.5 - tw advanced

ultimate 5.5 - simple

etc
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AyeGee:
Tried renaming it to update.zip now, but still get E:signature verification failed
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ionutz6:
u should get to ClockWork Mod recovery 2e, which allows you to apply untrusted files. google xda forum for this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AyeGee:
I will try that. Currently I get 3e.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
You say you've used Odin before. So here's what you should do (assuming you're currently on XXJPY or any other 2.2.1 firmware) -

1. Get into download mode, and flash the Speedmod K12R kernel using Odin (direct download, thread)

2. Now, reboot into recovery, you will have Clockwork Mod recovery.

3. Install zip from sd card -> choose zip from sd card -> Locate this ROM's zip and apply it.

That should be it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AyeGee:
This seems to have fixed it! Thank you so much!

I'm ultimate 6.5 and it really lag :(

I had to apply a lagfix to stop the lag

Is Do I have to go in 7.0?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
That is the weridest thing, go back to stock rom and try everything again, flashing ultimate v7.0
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
Another addition to Ultimate:

I just loved the simple Iphone Default sounds of the ui and notifications etc.

So i added them :)

Also, Have Multilanguage Gingerbread Keyboard working with iphone keypad sound :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James.q:
from what I experienced the UI in 6.5 was "slowest" from the last tree versions, but only by a very small margin. If you're having these kind of problems you might want to do this:

- backup everything you have on your computer + some settings if you dont want to loose them

- in recovery wipe everything (all the options + dalvik cache just to be on the safe side)

- disable the lagfix as it could cause problems during flashing (usualy it doesnt but sometimes it does)

- flash stock ROM

- flash Clockworkmod either through ROManager or download it here on XDA and just flash it as update.zip (twice on the first time it doesnt take it)

- flash Ultimate 7.0 :)

this will give you truly a clean install and if you have lags than without lagfix something is wrong.

Note: some live wallpepers (ex. beach) caused my phone to lag in app-drawer menu without the lagfix so that might be a problem :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
I'm not sure if this is a ROM specific problem, but my 2G connection has been very buggy ever since I flashed 7.0. I download songs and files (in the range of 10mb) using 2G a lot, and I've never had this problem before. Download fails after 0.6 - 2 mb no matter how many times I try downloading. And it's not the problem with the webhosts because it downloads just fine on my desktop. I'm going to switch to a different ROM and see if the problem persists. Is anyone else having similar problems?

(We are here at XDA to improve these ROMs, right?) ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] James.q:
never happened to me here, in fact, this is the first custom ROM without having problems with connecting USB mass storage :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
Its actually an error of the user. It happened to me once. Basically if you connect the USB halfway inside the USB, it recognises the computer as a power supply and saves it into its cache. Then next time u try again it will do the same so u have to reboot.

Hey Webstar and Co.

Sorry I've been so quite.

Daughter "Madison Paige" was born Tuesday.

And I came down with a throat infection which over the week has turned into tonsillitis and now an abscess.

Slowly getting better. But still sleeping as much as baby and the twins will allow.

Keep up the great work (love v7)

Looking forward to 7.2
