[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Slightly Better Gingerbread for Bionix-v (1.2.1)

​

​

For a more authentic Gingerbread experience (or not) in Bionix-v. Plus addons!

As seen on Androidspin (2.1 beta). Thanks Stormy! :D​

To be honest, you can hardly call these themes. There were just a few small things about the Nero/Bionix-v series that bugged me, so I fixed them and decided to share them with you! All I did was modify the Bionix-v framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk to do the following, nothing else has been changed.

Disclaimer:

I do my best to thoroughly test and make sure my themes and updates as universal as possible. That being said, not every flash is perfect. Issues with my themes/updates in the past have been rare, and easily recoverable, but that may not always be the case. Just as with any other updates you apply to your device, you're taking a small risk; That risk can grow when negative factors are added, e.g. human error/misjudgment, bad downloads, bad flashes, etc. I make these updates in my spare time, and offer them to anyone interested, however I am not responsible for damaged software, hardware, or any lives that brutally fall apart after flashing my updates. Please make sure you fully understand what you're doing, and the steps to reverse it if necessary, before applying these updates. XDA is a valuable source of information, simple searching/reading threads will often help you find a solution.

Apply SBG:

Unless you'd like to test compatibility with another ROM, please make sure you're running Bionix-v 1.2.1.

If you've applied any other themes or Metamorphs to your ROM in the past: Download Theme Restore, and flash with ClockworkMod Recovery. (Be patient, it will take several minutes to reboot.) Otherwise you may skip this step.

Chose your preferred version of SBG below. Download and flash with ClockworkMod Recovery. (Be patient, it will take several minutes to reboot.)

Just as with all my updates, it is unnecessary to disable Voodoo before flashing.

Addons/Older Versions/More Customization:

From now on I'll be using birgertime's ACS Java application for all addons, older versions, and eventually more ways to customize your experience. I'll also include betas, requests and minor updates. I'm still in the process of getting everything I'd like on there, but it's starting to look pretty good! If there's anything you'd like to see on there, or if you have any contributions, please don't hesitate to ask/share in this thread. I feel this application has a lot of potential! Don't forget to thank birgertime, and leave him feedback! :D

Thanks/Credz:

sombionix and Team Whiskey for the base of all my themes (so far).

jocelynmallon of Team Whiskey for her accurate battery graphics.

birgertime for his ACS application, and for providing me a repo, plus server space!

My loyal crew for answering questions in my thread, and keeping me sane. :)

Anyone else who's helped me out along the way, feel free to PM me if you think I've forgotten you!

If you enjoy, appreciate, or find anything I (or anyone else for that matter) posted helpful, please don't forget to click thanks. I know I'm not developing ROMs, but it does take some effort to make these, and to share everything. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

If you really wanna make me happy you can set up a Dropbox if you don't already have one by clicking the link. You'll love it anyway, I promise.

(Not to mention you can wirelessly transfer files between your phone and computer from anywhere if you download the Android client.)

Thanks to the following for downloading and installing:

(Note: you must sign up from the link I provided, and install the application on your computer for both of us to be credited with extra space.)
