That's odd, no one else has reported this. In fact, most people reported it's more functional than most of the TWiz MMS they've used. Try clearing it's data under manage applications in settings and rebooting. If that doesn't work I dunno what to tell you. You can always restore it with the AOSP one I have posted.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
How hard do you think it would be to have the app drawer open and close faster? I like the way it looks and all, I just feel like if it would have a little more spike it would be that much better...i'm not requesting, just an idea...:-)

Also, can you explain this: "Changed to TWiz toast frames" - what does it mean (excuse my ignorance)

And, is TWiz MMS the one with the bubbles?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
Sounds like a bad download, twiz works perfect, I've flashed it a few times trying to decide between a aosp and twiz, twiz always wins
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
Ok....first bad flash in ages...at 2.1 with nero v3...did a titanium backup...even uploaded to drop box...backed up adw settings and desktop..........and flashed....it was obvious dalvik got wiped cause I was starting at R2D2 shake his head at me for about 5 minutes compared to the usual 30 or so seconds(you would think after 100+ flashes I would just leave it and go back later...but no....tradition dictates to hold breath for whole duration of flash...have to keep those traditions..since the old days of flashing in dos (....booted up....waited 15 minutes ...rebooted....left for 5 minutes...now I know that wait period is for rom flashing..but traditions.....remember..then started to play around with it...

Well here is where things were wrong:

1) I suddenly have a wake lag of up to 5 secs....sometimes it resins just when I press lock button again thinking nothing happened..just to cause it to go back to sleep.

2) swype will have write a few times where there is a lag for the trace (2 second)....word still goes through...number 2 sentence for example had 4 occurrences...correction 5...6...occurrences was 5...was was 7...anyway you probably get the picture.

3) while receiving a call there was a3 second lag till I could see who it was calling.

4) when making a call..it dropped and I couldn't call backup...looked like it was dialing but no ring...would Hang up, try again..same result.tried switching to airplane mode and back (thought reregistering on network might fix it)..nothing...had to reboot before I could call again.

So generally lots of lag...no fc though..and need to reboot a bit to make calls..

Do my question to everyone is..had anyone else had this..has anyone fixed this..does anyone know what could be causing it.

I mean there are several ways to approach this..but maybe we can look into it for others..what do you think jdan. Will wait till 9ish eastern time and then I might reflash nero v3 and theme 2.1 which is the one that was stable for me...unless I end up needing odin..but I think a simple reflash of v3 and titanium respite will do the trick...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
By the way...you would have thought I would have done a nandroid...but somehow I skipped that...darn murphy...if I had done that everything would have been fine...!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
I'd flash the theme restore then download and try again, bad download and install for sure. I had a cache issue, but I've had a bad dl do that on other themes.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
Theme restore works flawlessly, I could have avoided my last nandroid if it was on my internal storage and not my stupid sd card
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
Has anyone used the speed settings in the spare parts settings included in v3?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
So suggestion one use theme restore from beginning of thread..redownload 2.2.2 reflash...

Sounds like a good option...with theme restore I would see if performance was restored..then a new flash..

Thanks for input..ill make my final decision after jdan replies too...want to see what he thinks...and if I'm lucky raymond might pop in..he and I tend to follow all the same topics :p
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
It will work, I've tried them all. Actually I just ran a theme restore even though it said I didn't have to, also make sure your speed is on fast in the spare parts settings
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] greeneyes513:
If I open and attach it sends. If I open a pic and share using messaging it says server error response
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
The app drawer wouldn't be hard for someone who was good with XML, I'm just learning this crap as I go. I understand it alright, but there are some things I wouldn't be comfortable editing yet. I'm sure there are people that could help you more with that, but I might not figure that out for a while.

Toast frames are the frames for the little pop-up notification messages that flash for a second or two and fade out. I know this is a Gingerbread theme, but I just didn't like the same ugly gray frame that was on rc-29 on my HTC Dream (aka G1) Back when it firsttttt came out and wasn't polished yet, and a while before Donut. I got mine 2 weeks early cause T-Mo messed up my pre-order and shipped a small batch of phones a couple weeks early. They were supposed to have 2 more updates before they made it outta the box but it's the one they "forgot" to lock. But, sorry, that's a story for another day, I guess what I'm trying to say is that those frames just look old and dated to me; As much as I miss 2008 already. I preferred the TWiz clean transparent look better. My excuse is not only am I trying to copy GB, I'm trying to improve upon it too (accurate battery, 5 bar signal, etc.). I just feel it's a visual improvement.

And yes, TWiz MMS is in fact the one with the bubbles.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] secretseven:
hats off, i haven't been upset one bit with the advances you've made

and you posting the TWiz MMS saved this rom for me, i couldn't send audio after flashing to v3 which is vital for me in the music industry, having the contacts and recent buttons makes it less of a chore aswell

thanks again, keep up the good work
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I've definitely had bad flashes like that on all kinds of ROMs. What I'd recommend for your next flash is to go into CWM before you flash it, do a system restore from there, then to into mounts and storage format boot/cache/system/data, then flash your new ROM. To be on the safe side, if it's the same ROM, download the ROM again too. Maybe from another mirror. Also, on the first boot, don't even touch it for like 10-15 minutes, tempting though it may be. (It just makes it that much more exciting anyway.) And then, before you get too excited, reboot, and just let it start up it's apps, and scan it's SDs. Then, you can be play with it all you want. That should help a lot. But in the meantime, I think kcp877 pretty much has you covered.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
This is a good idea.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I haven't tried it out, but if it's anything other than a bad flash, it's probably something still broken in the MMS .apk I used (sombionix's fixed version that was supposed to fix the fuzzy messages). Can anyone else confirm it? If so I can always try to find a better version and theme, I'd appreciate help finding it though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Dude, I didn't know there was a THANKS button limit. 5 times a day? They should let OPs thank people as much as they want in their own thread. Especially when people help me out or answer questions for me so I don't have to. I appreciate that stuff cause I can't watch this thread 24/7. You guys are big help, my unofficial SBG crew.

-JDan
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
it was just the theme that was flashed..not the rom...so probably just going to do a theme restore...re download 2.2.2 and try again...

And don't worry about the no touchy rule...street 100+ flashes you pretty much learn the drill by heart :)

Weird thing is now after 1 more reboot it is responding a bit better...still I think a restore is in order..

Just wanted to make sure jdan didn't want me to test anything :)

Will update what I did..probably tmr cause tonight I wanna play rappelz
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Thanks man, no problem. I'm glad I could help save you from a Job getting in the way of fun. I would never wish that upon anyone.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I definitely appreciate it. I think that's your best bet right now though. By they way, as much as I hate hearing about when my stuff gives people trouble, your description cracked me up the whole time I was reading it. Glad to have you aboard my thread.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
Been using this theme for a couple days now and its great. Id like to throw out a couple suggestions.

Would it be possible to change the icons for the quick settings in the notification pane to match their GB counterparts?

Also would it be possible to have a transparent background for the notification pane?

Love this theme, but those two things would make it absolutely perfect. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] serban954:
Sorry if i didnt read everything correctly, but whats the difference between SBG 2.2.2 "H" Edition + Flying Transition Animations & v1Bar Final ?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
Reading it again...i see those swypos....it looks even funnier :p

Like I said..tonight rappelz...maybe tmr during work I'll reflash :p

Are you working on a version 3 (i could always go to first page but that's too much work on the phone...and I'm lazy....but to show you why that's not a bad thing I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes "progress is made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do things...")
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:

I'll be so happy if you can find out what's wrong with this zip file.:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
SBGinger

Yeah, I think I remember making a comment somewhere. I look at too many sites, it's all a blur.:D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
Thanks alot man for taking the time to explain....:-)

Sounds like I'll have to flash both of those...lol!

I'm glad you added the twiz mms, the current one is kind of sad looking....and I can confirm as well that the audio message does not work, I tried sending a clip of my 2 year old singing to my wife today....and lost the chance.

It's good that you're taking your time to post all these tweeks and mods for us, most of the time these type of request go unanswered. :-)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
SBGinger

I'm nowhere near ready to admitting I have a flashing addiction. I only flash something on days that end in 'y'. LOL!:D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I actually had the quick settings icons planed for the next release, so obviously it was a good suggestion. :) You just gave me a couple good ideas for possibly releasing a transparent notification pull-down. Thanks for the suggestions.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
SBGinger

The TW site in Themes stated it needs to be flashed with this swype version only: 2.11.53.13846

You can double check your version by navigating to Swype in Titanium Backup. It is listed there. I'm the other person and two of his zips would not install.:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
If you're looking for inspiration, Ive always liked the quasi-carbon fiber look of the Cyanogen pulldown. (Im not usually a fan of carbon fiber, but I like the subtlety of this one, its not INYOURFACEXTREME!)

A darker version of something like that would look great with this theme, but if youve got an original creation bouncing around in your head, Im sure wed all love to see that. ;)

Keep up the great work, always awesome to see someone here who has such a community-spirit about them.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
v1Bar Final is optional, it just makes the notification drawer look like Nero v1.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I'm always thinking and looking for the next thing to do with SBG, I have a couple of Ideas, but I think we're gonna be on the 2 series for a while. I'm gonna make a couple color themed versions first, then a more unique theme after. Always open for ideas. That's an awesome quote by the way, very true in my opinion.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:

"

LMAO! Sorry I had no input on your theme-flashing problem, but lately I'm on here late in 'Left-Coast' time and probably would have had nothing useful to say. Cold as HE double hockey sticks too!:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Just peeked at it real quick, it's not exactly what I expected, it's a little worse. It it's just part of the files inside the Swype.apk. Literally just a part of them, so you'd have to merge them with the right version of Swype. Kind of a pain. Plus there's a random .xml file that I have no idea what it does or where it should go. That dude wasn't even close to being finished, but I might be able to integrate it into my Swype later.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ThC23:
Not sure if its been asked, but can you incorporate the Nero Remix colors into your themes?

I like the red remix, but does not have the modify battery icon on top with the number display!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Well I saw a lot of people asking for the stuff so I figured I'd try to make it as easy as possible to find/use since so many people wanted these things.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Or you can check it at the bottom of Swype settings in Swype under Locale and text if you don't have titanium.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
Will I be able to metamorph the swype with one from the same guy "hoey2011" in the tw forums...the one I'm talking about doesn't require a specific version, as long as the "swype.apk" is in system app. My question is, will using metamorph actually replace the version, or just skin the existing?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Thanks, I might give a darker version a shot too.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Portland Maine probably would be too. ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I was planing on doing something similar, but I'd like to take my own crack at it. The Team Whiskey ones weren't bad, but I'd like to make my own colors/twist. Plus the screenshots threw me off a little after obsessing over my framework so much I noticed a couple tiny little things that bugged me.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Metamorph should just theme it without chaning anything. Should. You can probably apply that with no issues. If anything does go wrong just flash my swipe again, and maybe clear data in application settings, and you're good.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tgerbracht:
Ok, another comment: is there any way for the battery icon to be color coded in a little more fine tuned way? For example, yellow at 50%, orange at 25%, red at 10%, etc? I find it weird that it goes from green to orange at 50% and that's it. Anyhow, I know jocelyn did the original mod, but figured I'd ask.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
Thanks! Been using the one you posted and it's very accurate.

Thanks again

BTW- the TWiz MMS works with no problem, photos look great.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Yeah someday I do intend to tweak it to go to red at 15% instead of 21% and orange at maybe 25 like you said. I didn't think about the yellow at 50% though, thats a good idea, maybe blue 100-90%. The only thing is it's gonna be kind of a pain so I'm putting it off for now to do more fun stuff.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tgerbracht:
Sweet! Maybe jocelyn will do it first and give you some hints about how to integrate it. Love your work, but especially your support, cheers!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I figured out how to integrate it, that's easy now. If she used her talents to make the images it would look great and save me a lot of time/effort though. I love her work.

Polling Question: Y/N?

Have any of you ever flashed ROMs/updated your phone instead of paying attention to your girlfriend/boyfriend?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
hmmm just saw what happens when you edit your sig in a hurry to play online....ill fix that tomorrow
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
hmmm...does now count?

She is behind me complaining as we speak and i'm trying to download your theme restore through pc to put on to phone in case download was corrupt through phone..in the mean time im trying to figure out why phone is not mounting through pc with Nero v3...and im thinking i have to go through that thread to see if there were any mounting issues i need to address... (unless any of you can reply here so i dont go to that thread....and hoping your theme restore fixes it since im too lazy for titanium restores right now!!!)

edit: forgot to disable usb debugging before connecting..doh...so yeah..she is watching americas funniest home videos now...better than bridalplasty she watches other times (I dont feel guilty then though :P)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] nraudigy2:
Is the notification bar black in lastest one? I have gray if upgraded to SBG 2.2
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
Applied metamorph to your accurate swype , and all is well. Had to reboot for it to show.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
she is now yelling at me cause i read out what you posted :P...

she says she wants to kill me cause i keep flashing my phone..posting on forums, flashed my sisters phone and worst of all flashed hers (she has a g1 with no apps2sd..what was I supposed to do..??? CM 5.08 stable..although lately..after almost a year of great performance... it has random reboots and she is blaming me..)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
That's hilarious. You sound almost as bad as me. She watches/reads/does her stupid stuff too, and we both have a scheduled stupid stuff we like to do alone/together time. How awesome is that?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
last post for tonight..

I will flash theme restore in morning then 2.2.2

in the mean time jdan..loved your r2d2 bootanimation you linked...was wondering what shutdown sequence you have since I like your taste :)...maybe add your custom bootanimation and shutdowns to your themes..personalize them more...

Any changes to poweron.wav and shutdown.ogg?

Like your taste so thought id try what you have :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
It's black again in 2.2.2 yes, sorry about that. :p
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Good, that sound about right. Sometimes they do flash different parts of applications though, so you can never be sure unless you take it apart first. That's rare though. Thanks for sharing in case others would like to know.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
Nero V3

I triple checked and definitely have the proper version. No one else on that site indicates a problem. I'll check again to see if someone responded to what I reported.:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
Nero V3

What! How'd you know! Really, I just wasn't into that movie!:D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
This is the single funniest thing I've ever read in my life. Thank you for sharing that. Mine's asking for an apology right now cause I spend even more time now tending this thread. It's okay though, she loves me. ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
Nero V3

Made me LMAO! Too much!:D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I thought about about doing that, but I figured I'd just let people choose what they like. Maybe I'll look into doing a couple shutdown animations later.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] nraudigy2:
It's not black when you pulled down the status bar.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
The sole thing I despise about my girl, is her secret addiction to MTV shows like Jersey Shore (and it's at whole other level to her cause her family is from Jersey), and 16 and pregnant. I always get the "Her boyfriend reminds me of you." line. Other than that though she's perfect. ;);)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I think the notification drawer is supposed to look like that, but I'm thinking of tweaking it a little in the next release.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Oh dude, I didn't know that was a Metamorph. You can't flash those in CWM. Well that explains a lot.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
Nero V3

But it says right there to flash those and not to use Metamorph. The first themes and the Trail lines I think are Metamorphs. Down in the section where I downloaded that file (Naked Green), it says to flash in CWR. What gives?:confused:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
Nero V3

I think it makes sense now. He put those text selection themes under the instructions for appyling the metamorphs, then stuck in the Trail Lines which are only flashable, then stuck in the actual themes under that. I don't like to say negative stuff, but what a mess. Terrible organization and definitely not clear at all. It's no wonder someone new to this would get confused. Guess I'd better learn to do a metamorph.:eek:

Edit: Plus it's making me miss the Closer!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
If you don't have a DVR there's always torrents! Yeah dude when I pulled apart the .zip I was thinking that guy must have uploaded the wrong file cause it wasn't even close to right for an update.zip.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
Nero V3

It's no problem, I'm somewhat used to using a terminal in Linux, so I can figure it out. A person with no terminal experience should be warned away in big red letters. I wish I could put big red letters on it just because it's such an organizational mess! LOL!:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:

I'll go over the Metamorph instructions tomorrow. I gotta catch the second show of the Closer! Goodnight!:D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I'm not pro with linux terminal, but I have a pretty basic understanding of them, I used to take LAN and WAN classes so we had to use terminal to configure routers and bridges etc. Pretty simple, powerful stuff. And I've been using bits and pieces of DOS my whole live, so that helps too.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
Hey raymond, just flash the accurate version of swype from here, then apply the theme with metamorph. (it that's even what you're looking to do ) :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
Is there a way you can post the "Toast frames" and the "quick setting" menu on a separate zip? I like a lot of the changes, but don't care for the accurate battery mod, I think it looks sleeker without the little numbers inside.

If this is a problem...I totally understand! :);)

Also, as anyone reported issues with the 5 bar icon creating problems? Some people reported problems on the TW forums after flashing it.

Edit: never mind, I flashed the whole thing.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
I fixed the sig now :P...someday when I am less lazy (always some lazy in there) I may post links to roms and stuff like jdan :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
Well even if you dont, let me know what you use since I like your taste...rather than search through tons of posts to see what I would like..Ill leach of your research for shutdowns, sounds etc :P
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Maybe in the future I'll release a "Pure GB" version that doesn't have the additions of accurate battery and 5 bar signal mod, or anything TWiz whatsoever. No promises, and no E.T.A., but I'll consider it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
That would be awesome.
