Yeah it could be :D I could just do like a neon blue or something
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
yeah, just imagine how tron neon icons and whatnot would look on our samoled screens. :eek:
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Hmmm.... you may just be onto something ;) :D
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Sounds good
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
I think he is
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I think I may just do that indeed :)
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
so get off of xda and get to work lol. Shot me a pm and I'll start on the xml editing if framework-res.apk and the twframework.apk
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
I'm going to start this tomorrow with the deodex Froyo leak ;) :D
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
Chime in time lol. Mystery is the best themer I know, he taught me the ropes and I still have much to learn, but I would be glad to help you guys in any way possible. Get my gtalk from mystery and we can all have a collab session sometime.
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Cools sounds great :D Looks like we'll be able to have a theme up tomorrow!
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
I hate to ask but sine you're accepting requests, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who'd love a 2. 1 gbread theme... I am holding out for official froyo but love the gbread look
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Are those out there? Or not yet?
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Not for the epic me and the rest if the devs thought this would be pointless as frito is around the corner
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Yeah, and also 2.3 may be as well, we have to see what the devs/Samsung can put together :)
[Epic 4G General] bigmcq77:
I'd love to see any theme that isn't a one color theme, ie, no "lol red theme." Sure colors are nice, but its not that good looking imo. Any "themer" can batch apply masks of color to images.

What I really want to see is a well done, thought out theme. Take Miui for example. It looks nice, isn't overwhelming, and seems pretty well thought out.

I'm not saying go and port Miui. But I do like cleaner, less overwhelming UIs and themes.

So my real request would be something, maybe white based, clean theme. Not all white. But simple. Color where needed. Beautiful.

Also, maybe try throwing up some quick tuts on theming, as helping others get better is always a great thing to do.

Thanks, welcome to the epic community. Btw, join the irc for more chat.

Edit: Of course I'd be glad to help, with ideas and design. I dabble with PS so I can be atleast of some assistance. Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Miui is a full rom and not a theme. As a themer we can only re create images that are already there. I would love to see miui ported to the epic.

Guides already exist here in the epic theme section and in other parts of xda and the web.
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Cool cool, what do you think of a black, white, and neon blue? Clean and elegant of course ;) :D
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Here's a great guide for any who'd want it :)
[Epic 4G General] bigmcq77:
I could like that. I'm thinking maybe 2 versions of the theme.

1) White base. Then the neon and black accents for it. Like cyan (neon blue) neon green, pink. Tronish it seems? (I still need to see the movie.

2) Same, just black base.

Btw: I wasn't saying port Miui, I just meant I liked how it looked. :P Sorry. Happy theming.
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Awesome :D Thanks for the input!
[Epic 4G General] OperationMove:
I had requested it myself, and got some decent interest out of it, but I'd like to have a Darkstar port come to Froyo. The black and green theme looked great on the old G1 as well as many devices it was ported to, and I think it would look extra awesome on the sleek black Epic. Just my 2 cents of course. If you do decide to take over this type of project I would be glad to help do some images.
[Epic 4G General] thomasskull666:
There it is, I remember the request thread just was too lazy to look back; I love the Darkstar theme as well and would love to see it on the Epic. I had a tough decision between it and BlackFroyo when I was pondering the base for Mysterious Beast, the latter of course being the one I chose for port-ability(sic, lol) reasons. But the Darktar port can be done, and I for one would be happy to contrbute if someone were to take this on. Green and black is what's up btw ;-)
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
We'll see we'll see :D

[Epic 4G General] Gagstr:
I have a HUGE request from you pimps out there helping nooblets like me :)

I saw Tron yesterday and I would love to see a good Tron theme, one that would let users change colors and would have backgrounds of the HOT girls in the movie or even the house on the grid where the main char's father lived...or both... i just think that there was lots of amazing decor and visuals in that movie and would love seeing them on my phone in as HD as possiible on our beautifull displays :). The existing themes are lacking and if you guys can pull this off, i will donate and buy the theme and donate some more OHHH YEAAAA!!!! (sorry for spelling, i isnt goods in thats sujects lol)
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Where working on it. Pushing got a release tonight.
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
:) Yup it's coming :D
[Epic 4G General] Gagstr:
Nice!! good to hear!! If you guys can somehow include code that would automatically convert exisiting icons into monochromatic ones (set by the user in color selection), that way it would convert any and all icons to Tron themed ones and users wont have to hunt for each icons tron conversion.?? Do you guys think this is possible?
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Anything is possable
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Hmmm.... not sure, it'd be cool though!

Sent from a truly Epic phone!
[Epic 4G General] Gagstr:

[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Any word? Was checking this and the theme section furiously last night. Though I assume its dk28
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
well since your talking about it , and since someone said ignore all the noobs which im in that group. coming from long time windows phone user, a lot of things I'm still learning.

what do you use to put the themes on the phone, and why cant we use just the regular touchwiz and install themes like what you guys make?

and from what I hear since the epic does black so well I dont see why we can't have a black theme that also helps in battery life.
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Today :o I had to run out yesterday and didn't get back until about 12 :(

Sent from a truly Epic phone!
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
You flash a theme threw cwm like you would a rom or kernel. You can use the touchwiz launcher if you like but you can't install themes the it. Like I said above you can only install themes threw cwm (clockwork mod).

There already is a couple black themes. I got the emotionless beast that had allot of black but colorfull icons. I helped thomasskull666 with the mysterious beast witch is all black and gray scale.
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Update: We are finalizing the theme currently, can't promise a release today but it's possible :D
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Good news theimpaler747... take your time on themeing guys and don't let the impatient noobs pressure you into releasing it before you guys feel it's ready. I understand it's the holiday season and im also greatfull you are kind enough to take on request.

Happy Holidays and God Bless :)
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Not a problem, and best wishes and Happy Holidays to you and your family as well :)
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Enjoy your holidays. I don't see any reason we can't have it out tonight.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
this is the semi tron one right? And themes don't mess with ota, do they?
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Correct, this is the "Tron" styled one :D
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
no they don't the rom, kernel do. In order to use the theme your gonna have to be on a deodexed rom so you wouldn't be getting ota anyways
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Yeah, deodex will be needed for themes, which takes away any OTA updates..... but who needs those anyway when you have XDA? :p :D
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
uhg that sucks that you have to have it rooted and cant install themes in touchwiz. I dont really want to root mine or change roms, just the themes.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Theres stock rons thsy are deodexed
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
huh? not sure what you mean please explain.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
There us a stock rom that is deodexed
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I assume the new theme will be compatible with the ACS DK28 stock (ish) deodexed rom, eh?
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Yes, it will be compatible :) We are debugging some issues currently, the theme is actually "ready" though so to say :D
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Well, if you need it tested, I'm just sitting around :)
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Cool cool :D I'll probably send you a build soon to try out
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
Right now tge issue is the phone wont boot. I got the logcat this morning and i havent had a chance to go threw it yet. I know the probkem is with one of tge xml edits i dud to tge franeworks.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
woohoo! I'm at my in-laws house so I have 3 win machines with odin sitting within a few feet from me in case of issues ;)
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Take your time. No need to rush over the holidays to theme :)

Hmm.... sounds fun :p :D
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Oh ya, I've been flashing all day. And if you mean my in-laws, its great I love em!
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Well then I guess it's all ok :)
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
It is indeed. If you need my email t send me a beta to test let me know and ill pm it to you
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:

Well, the holidays have killed theme development for now, but see my sig for a treat ;) Check out the battery modification thread, and feel free to make a request! :D
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Aww saw this update and thought maybe there was a beta =( oh well can't blame you guys for taking a holiday break. I just can't wait to see the finish product. Right now I'm running the gingerbread theme and its nice but I'd love a tron blue-ish one =D
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:

Dont forget to add the turn **** into gold capabilities.... im trying to get out of this bull**** middle class and i was promised a theme that would help me .... now got to go back to wasting time....30 more min to go ****ing taking forever.
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Darn.... I forgot that feature.... I'll add it in the next version of the app :p :)
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
So any chance you can give us...well...me... a SS of a notification bar, a cell strength indicator, or even a color swatch so I know what kind of icons to make to go along with it =D like I said...impatient bastard
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
the theme is done. Its causing boot problems. I got the logcat but haven't had a chance to look threw it. The holidays is what's slowing me down. Just remember patience is your friend
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Oh I understand, I just like making icons for launcher pro to go with themes so if I knew what colors were in or something I could try to match them. I'm just bored and sitting on my ass hehe
[Epic 4G General] StevenInSTL:
ok..totally N00b questions...how in the hell do you make themes for this device?

I was a theme maker and website owner, for blackberry themes, and I want to get into theming the Epic. My hat is off to all that have mastered theming...but I want to leanr how to do it. Is there a stand alone program like BlackBerry uses?

TIA..

Steve
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
A lot of ripping apart apks, making mew images, and editing XMLs :)
[Epic 4G General] StevenInSTL:
nice..not the answer I wanted to hear/see. I know there is a "program" pandahome, but its web based...and it looks like a pain to upload icons 1 at a time..
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Hmmm... not sure, I don't use programs except for photoshop, apk manager, and UOT kitchen. Here's a great theming guide for you though if you want to get some more info :)

wow...that is awesome. Its bookmarked for a rainy day read.

[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Hey guys, I was just curious if mystery's departure would have a negative effect on the releasing of your upcoming theme. As I've said before, I am very aware you both have lives that do not revolve around releasing themes for people I'm just worried that the drama surrounding everything might cause things to be delayed indefinitely which is something I would greatly regret. Thank you!
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
His departure? :confused: What happened?
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
o.o "I'm Leaving"
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
No clue.... I'll ask him
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I do really hope it doesn't. I for one can say that I really appreciate all the work you devs put in and both you and he have offered me personally a great deal of support. However, I do understand his sentiment.
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I'll find out from him :o I hope not though
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Are we still close to an update?
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Mystery is still looking at it :o He's not giving me much info, I'm sorry I don't know much

Its not your phone that does it, its the senders phone that breaks them up. And no, there is nothing you can do about it. Sms stands for short message service. If you want longer ones you'll have to communicate via email.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaul305:
I've seen maybe one thread here or there, about porting MIUI to Vibrant.

I've been on the MIUI Devs forum, and asked, a poster gave me the obvious "need someone to port over and dedicate that time"

So for starters, I will never program (one because I'm horrible and two I'll leave it to the pros).

My question isn't "when will someone port it over? plz plz plz"

I want to understand the why it hasn't been done yet.

Is it due to the whole (again an assumption from bits and pieces I've read here n there) Samsung never officially releasing all their "source code" ( :confused: ) or the fact that an official 2.2 release isn't out for Galaxy S phones OTA?

sigh. I wish I knew.

I'm pretty jealous of the other phones with it, my only bragging right (aside from the Vibrant hardware nearly blowin most other Android phones out the water) being a nearly Gingerbread-esque experience (appearance, sounds, etc.) which they (other phones) sorta lack, all in all a little MIUI flavor would be great.

Any insight (that's gonna make things clearer, and not just GOOGLE IT) is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sha'ul

Guys... I´m in trouble... I´m on JPM and flashed CF-Root-JPM-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1 but my phone was taking too long, like more than 20min at Galaxy S boot. I knew something did go wrong, removed the battery and I entered download mode again and re-flashed... Same thing! My phone is not getting past Galaxy S boot up picture!! I can't enter recovery mode but can enter download mode! Is there anything I can do to bring my phone back to life?! PLEASE HELP ME!

I already tried to flash new roms in odin. My device is recognized but odin hangs and does nothing...

I need some advice on this, did I kill a new phone?! I´m scared
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Un Loko:
Please Help!

- UPDATE: SOLVED!

Hi there, I'm having the same problem on my I9000B. Please help me.

This is my story, I had upgraded my 2.1 firmware to VIVO's 2.2 Froyo via KIES with the Kies Registry Patcher (used ZVV). Everything worked perfectly, but I wanted to root my I9000B so I made the terrible mistake of using CF-Root via Odin, (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108) following the exact instructions. The kernel replacement (zImage file) was for the I9000 so I had the touchscreen problems. When the phone booted showed Samsung galaxy S GT-I9000B and then inmeadeatly the "B" dissapeared.

Because of my n000bness I tried to use the zImage file from this ROM (VIVO's) (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858483), by downloading my own .tar created file (with 7-zip) of the zImage file. Here is were things went down. I got the android - USB cable boot icon. I could not go into recovery mode but I could do download mode, so I re-flashed VIVO's ROM (the one published here) with Odin:

I used the 803 .pit file, Odin 1.3

I did not check re-partition

I selected the ROM as the PDA file and I left PHONE and CSC blank.

the ROM was downloaded to the phone and Odin did not gave me problems.

My problem here is that I get the black screen with vibrations from time to time on boot. This is exactly what happens:

The phone starts showing "Samsung galaxy S.... GT I9000B (at least shows "B")

I can get into recovery mode but the following appears:

update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

your storage not prepared yet, please us UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.

Then I did a factory reset, succesfully completed, tried again flashing the ROM but with Re-partition box checked (as instructed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596) but the same stuff happens.

Please tell me what to do! I know it was a stupid mistake trying to fix ony the zImage file, and stupider was using CF-Root on my non-compatible device.

PS: I can get into download mode with no problems

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Margaliini:
Have you done JUST like this:

1. Enter your phone in dl-mode, but don't connect yet.

2. Open Odin, tag re-partition, auto reboot and f.reset time, make sure efs clear and bootloader -fields are NOT checked. select CORRECT PIT-file (2.1 ROMS usually 512, 2.2 ROMs many times 803, samfirmware always tells which one to use next to the dl-link of a ROM-file), enter your phone in dl-mode, plug, wait it to be recognized by Odin.

3. Click start, wait until Odin shows PASSED, unplug your phone, remove the battery for 30 seconds, enter dl-mode again, don't plug just yet.

4. In Odin, click Reset. Then select PDA, Modem and CSC files compatible with the PIT-file used in re-partition, plug your phone, make sure re-partition NOT checked and no PIT-file selected (once again, make sure you use correct PDA for the PIT you flashed). auto-reboot and f.res.time should be selected. Make sure efs clear and bootloader -fields are NOT checked.

4- Plug your phone and when recognized, click start. Wait to be passed. Now your phone will boot (or if not, boot manually) and should work just fine.

Edit: Try to put Eclair ROM, for example JM2, not jpa, and see if it works better.
