To be honest, I don't like the shutdown animations. I usually get rid of them all together so I can watch the old school shutting down pop-up frame with the wheel spinning (G1 style). I just hate starting at a black screen after the animation, not knowing if it's off until it vibrates.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
SBG 2.2.2 alone had 400 downloads on it's first day. I think that's a new record for me. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
Wait until you have the dark themed twiz mms, it's going to be big. What colors are you thinking for it? Surprised that black froyo doesn't do anything to fix it. Blacks out everything except it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ziondreams:
This looks so great that I'm totally going to flash it when I'm at work today. :)

2 quick questions though:

- I'm sure this has already been answered but I could not find it: what are the flying animations exactly? Trying to decide which version I want.

- Do you think there would be any way to include the GB "screen off" animation? Where it looks like an old CRT TV turning off? That's one little thing that still bugs me about my wife's Nexus S that my phone can't do. ;)

Thanks for all your awesome work! Can't wait.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I'm planning on doing a green and black/gray GB style one first to match my theme, but then I was gonna try a blacked out version. TWiz MMS is tricky though, so I've been putting it off. I'll try it again soon though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Bl4ckpheniX:
Hey great stuff in here. Thanks for the hard work. I installed the camera and mms files. Cause let's face it imho its way better features.

When I installed the zip it flashed out everything that was previously installed in nero v3 ie... car home, desk home. There are the old versions on the market but not these new ones. Easy sollutuon to get them back?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
The flying animations change the way popup frames and menus transition into the screen. Instead of the usual zoom in/out slide up/ down, this makes them a little more exciting and unique. Some ROM developers including Eugene_373 and sombionix tried them out in a build or two, but switched back to the default ones. I just include them for the people who miss them. You'll have to try it out yourself to see what I mean, you can always switch to another version if you don't like them. They are slower however, so I recommend changing the speed to fast in Spare Parts.

As for the CRT TV animation, it's impossible at this time to do it on this phone. We need at least a modified kernel, if not a 2.3 kernel to do it. However, I was thinking of making it into a shutdown animation... But I'm not even sure I can yet, do get to excited. Just something else on my list of things to try. :P But I'll do my best not to let your wife have a cooler phone than you! I bet she's already jealous of your quick settings in the notification drawer, and oh yeah, your external SD card! Not to mention your Super AMOLED screen with Gorilla Glass.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
1: These were used in Nero beta 3. The pop-ups spin in at you, and when moving through apps they will fly in from the left or right.

Hope that didn't sound too confusing...haha

2: I think jellette may have had a beta of a simulation of that in one of his earlier roms, but I could be wrong.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
EDIT: Beat me to it haha

EDIT2: Im terrible with the xda app haha, meant to just edit.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
None of my files remove anything. They either install something new, or they overwrite whatever they're supposed to replace. I'm not sure what went wrong for you, but you can always use adb or Root Explorer/similar file explorer to copy the missing files from the Nero v3 update.zip.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Akareem81:
NeroRemix Bar

Not to sound picky but i really love the Nero Remix bar transparency, makes it quite unique. I wonder why TW took it off.

Btw link is here, was wondering if you could incorporate it with your themes. Just the transparency and the drop down icon. Thanks

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I'm planing a couple transparent notification drawer addons.

I have a couple ideas I might play around with later today. A lot of people have been requesting something similar.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ziondreams:
Haha yeah her phone is pretty sweet but I am just giddy over Nero and my upcoming SBG changes. ;) Her phone does have the same screen as the Vibrant, though, AFAIK.

Anyway, thanks!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
It's probably super AMOLED (not 100% on that one though), but I know for a fact she doesn't have the Gorilla Glass on that funky contour display. Your screen is far more damage resistant. Hope you end up likin' SBG. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] krntehknik303:
Hey, I downloaded the latest update and tried to flash it through clockwork recovery and noticed after the flash the phone freaked out on me and had multiple force closes and I had to do a battery pull and get it into recovery mode by force. I was wondering what I might have done wrong. My only guess might be that I had a different battery accuracy and signal mod. Could that be why?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
That's likely why, yes. Try flashing my Theme Restore in the OP. Everyone else that's had your problem has reported that they could flash SBG with no issues after flashing that and rebooting once first.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
I think the problem is that your directions don't say to flash the theme restore first if on another mod it says to flash away. I got jammed up using a different restore method that had themes on it before the nandroid was made. A quick update to the directions to instruct newcomers to flash the restore first would save you some responds to the boot loops. Just a suggestion
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Yeah thanks, I do plan on doing that. I'm makin' a couple goodies now to get them out of the way and give me an excuse to update the OP.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tgerbracht:
Another idea that might not be consistent with your theme though: I once came across a rom that had the gmail notification icon look exactly like the home screen icon (white envelope with red trim). It looked real cool, what do your think?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] krntehknik303:
Thanks for the help guys... glad I didn't get bashed for asking a question in this thread. Lol! Anyways, I'm off to flashing this! Thanks, once again!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
As much as I like that gmail icon, I believe it's from the older AOSP set. Seeing as this is a Gingerbread theme, that might not be appropriate. Maybe I'll do one with the GB icon, but I'll give it the red accents from the old icon.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] krntehknik303:
How lame.. my phone won't lemme download the restore theme directly to my phone so that way I can flash it as I do not have the usb cable... wtf..!!!

EDIT: FIGURED OUT A WAY!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
No problem. I encourage asking, and helping answer questions in this thread. Just remember to check at least few pages back to make sure it hasn't been asked yet. And make sure it's pertaining to this thread. There's also a wonderful search tool. I'm not pointing a finger at you, I'm just saying in general.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Dude, you should never flash anything without your USB cable and a decent computer close by. But please try to read the thread a little bit, I haven't been able to update the OP yet, my apologies.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
Well if you have access to a PC but no USB cable, you could try AwesomeDrop from the Market.

You just go to their website, where they give you a unique PIN each time, enter it in the app, and then you can drop any file onto your phone wirelessly. They will be saved in a folder called "drop" on your phone. I use it all the time, cause its dead simple.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] krntehknik303:
Sorry man.. just figured out a way to download it onto my phone. Hey no worries, if I mess up, its my fault... that's what your disclaimer said!! hahaha. Sorry for the hassle man.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] krntehknik303:
I use Astro File Manager to manage all my files from external/internal sd card. I also, have app saver to save all my apps and I use Clockwork Mod Recovery to flash roms/themes, etc. The only time I used the laptop/pc with the usb cable is if I have bugs and issues after flashing a rom, so I can go back and Odin back to JFD and start off with a clean start. I also, use the usb plug to organize the internal sd card.. if necessary. I noticed a lot of people tend to use Titanium Backup ($5.99 I think?) Why pay that when there are free apps out there that you can use to utilize your internal and external sd card.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
How are you backing up apps and settings without titanium?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] krntehknik303:
Oh, the only down side that I forgot to mention is I can't save the settings for the apps, like the games and settings such as ringtone display, etc.

What I usually do is.. Odin back to JFD, Flash the "custom" rom, fully charge, wipe battery stats, and back it up with Clockwork Mod Recovery than I go about and flash different roms and play around with the settings. and if I want to go back, I just restore. That's what I have been doing.. seems like a lot of work, but its not all that bad.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Don Juan De La Nooge:
More noob questions ...

Gonna flash a couple of the add on GB theme stuff .. if i drop them all on the internal sd do i need to reboot everytime from CWM or can i just "install" them one after another without jacking something up ?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
With the addons you can probably get away with flashing a bunch at once. If it was a theme, I'd recommend flashing my Theme Restore, and rebooting once before installing it by itself.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Would anyone be interested in a Crimson Swype? Cause I'm about it test it, but I think it's finished.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Don Juan De La Nooge:
If youre willing to put it together ill give it a try .. and this phone is retard fast now .. only issue im having is deleting one clik lag fix ..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
How about a black one, not even sure what color crimson is!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
SBGinger

I already have the accurate swype, it's just that over on Houey's site it was unclear as to what files were metamorphs and what was not since he posted those text selection themes and trail lines right after the explanation on how to flash the metamorph. I thought the file I dowmloaded was part of what he said was only flashable with CWM. It just a little visually confusing.:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
Dumbest question ever. When I download stuff, rom manager wants to install it. I always cancel and reboot to recovery. Is this needed? Our van I just do it even though it says rom and isn't one
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
Uninstall through Titanium Backup.

Crimson is red.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
You can use adb, Titanium, Root Explorer, or various other methods to remove it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
It's dark red:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
It will ask you to do that with every .zip you download. It's supposed to install any flash-able ones, but it never works for me. However you can go into ROM Manager and select Install ROM from SD Card, and that works fine.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
SBGinger

Thanks a lot! Red is my favorite color and now I need to decide if I'm going to install that Naked Green metamorph or this!:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I think it looks pretty sexy so far. Gotta fix a couple of things, but it won't take me long.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:

O

And what will the text selector look like? I may have to toss up a coin. Red or Black and Green?:D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Don Juan De La Nooge:
Just let me know when and where itll post when or if you decidee to toss it out there
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
omg yes!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
What text selector? Here's Crimson Swype. I'll add it to the OP later, but you can have it now. Also, here's a preview of Green Swype:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
Worked perfect first time. This is exactly what I had in mind.

Thanks again!

I will say that green will go awesome with the rest of the theme

Thanks dude! Here's Green Swype. And a preview of Blue Swype:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
After flashing the whole package my notification curtain is all grayed out now, when before the top part was pitch black and the bottom gray. Now the whole thing is gray...is that what it's supposed to look like?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
If you get 2.2.2 it will go back to black :)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
I did get that version....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
Flash the theme restore and try again.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Sounds like you flashed 2.2 instead of 2.2.2. That minor update brings back the black bar.

EDIT: Didn't see you get that one for me, thanks z3NN9.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Don Juan De La Nooge:
Flashed and looks nice ... ever thought about changing the colors on the GB themed keyboard for those of us that have huge hands and are swype challenged ?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I thought about that, but I figured that keyboard was part of the GB feel. Would anyone else be interested in this?

In the meantime here's Blue Swype. And a preview of GB Swype:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] secretseven:
Kinda hard on the eyes, I'm ok with something new though. By the way, my swype doesn't have emoticons but does have mic, I flashed to your version of swype twice, no fix
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Which MMS are you using? It only works on one of them, it's not Swype, it's your MMS.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I like this one: GB Swype.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Don Juan De La Nooge:
Looks like ill have to learn how to swype now
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
I've used lots of the free available apps for backup and nothing compares to titanium backup pro..donate version.....its fast...works great... Uploads to drop box so my backup is stored online so even if I lose phone I restore back up to replacement...and also freezes annoying apps that will restart even when you kill them with a task killer and trend to hog resources and drain battery(wifi calling...hate that app and loved it due to crappy signal in my own home)....there are a lot of features that make it stand out from the crowd and make it worth the 5 bucks...I've paid for quite a few apps and this one was my favorite purchase...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] harpocrates:
Btw...did theme restore today at work....but theme restore doesn't clear dalvik cache (you might want to add that option jdan)...left it for 15 minutes and rebooted.....still some lag...tried another theme restore...this time I wiped cache first...let it stay for 15 minutes after boot...rebooted waited a while...been using it and I get an occasional lag with apps...still not back to 100% I think I may need to reflash nero v3 then restore titanium...then once I am sure its stable and fast...nandroid and flash 2.2.2 again....or new version if that's out by the time I'm up and running again :p....what do you guys think?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] secretseven:
i'm using your TWiz MMS w/ GB Themed Icons
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
Dude, I'm a tard....I was thinking it was the whole notification curtain that was supposed to be black....I didn't realize that is was just a fix from the gray of an earlier version...forgive my stupidity of this.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
SBGinger

This is the code I'm using to apply that metamorph by using Terminal Emulator. It won't install. Houey suggests installing twice, but that means replacing Swype.apk back in System/app because, of course, the first time it is moved. Did that and after another reboot, still no Naked Green theme. It also will not install through the app called Metamorph, although it says 'Install completed'. I'm sorry I ever heard the words Metamorph and don't think to much about it.:(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
SBGinger

The text selector is the funky box with the options that shows up when swype is uncertain of what word you want.:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
SBGinger

I like it! It's almost like that Naked Green theme that won't install no matter what.:)

Why do these thumbnails you posted lack the Microphone and I notice they are of a slightly different configuration from standard "QUERTY" keyboard?:confused:

Segmented Battery Indicator

Hi I just have a quick question if I Mod my Nero V3 ROM with the Team Whisky Segmented Battery Indicator (Circle that counts down the Battery Life) is there a way for me to added back on on top of this MOD Theme? I really wanna be able to keep both on my Vibrant.

Thanks in advance!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Sounds like a solid plan, I already had to it it once, and it worked wonders. You should try a system restore in CWM, and format boot/cache/system/data before you flash Nero again too. And I will add a dalvik wipe to Theme Restore, that too is a good idea.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Must only work in the AOSP one then. I always forget which, sorry bout that.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
No worries, at least you figured it out. There is v1Bar Final if you want the rest black. I'm also going to work on a transparent notification drawer for future versions.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Do do you mean the TWiz text selection included in the framework, or Swype correction boxes? That's what I was asking, they're separate entities working together.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Don't worry about the thumbnails. That's one of like 20 keyboards I have to edit for each version. I could have shown you the Korean layout too, I just grabbed the first one with letters on it. You're not losing any buttons out getting a new layout by flashing these themed Swypes, I promise.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Is it an update.zip or a Metamorph? Metamorph = probably, update.zip = probably not.

EDIT: Can you include a link?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
Could this be changed? I kinda liked

The TWiz MMS :)

Plus I am pretty sure the stock touchwiz has it...

Nero v3 / voodoo504

sbg 2.2 +
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I'll check it out. But if I have to choose between working picture messages or a smiley face button, I think you know which one I'm gonna choose.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
Stock twiz doesn't have the smiley face, but this version of twiz mms has clear pictures.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] secretseven:
When I first got my vibrant, it was 2.1-update1. It had emoticon button, pics seemed pretty clear to me, out would be nice to be able to zoom in on a pic through mms and screen rotation, if possible
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MeximCivic:
I'm not sure if I got the link but this is basically what I did to the nero Rom.

I installed segmented battery indicator as a .zip file then when I extracted it and rebooted the phone the indicator was as described im not sure if that helps. I basically want the slightly better animations and "h" indicator along with my already installed battery indicator :-)

Let me know if I need to restore theme first before adding the slightly better gingerbread.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sebmw:
Can I download and flash SBG 2.2.2 + Flying Transition Animations & v1Bar Final in one .zip file instead of doing them separately.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
I'll be looking forward to the transparent version....:) I like the black theme, but not TOO much black. I like the mix of transparent, glossy, balcks etc...

Thanks for all the work! Prett:Dy soon you'll be releasing full flashable ROMs...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
I had the same stock twiz you did, but I don't remember the smiley button
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
Ya my stock mms had emoticon as well. I found a stock mms from tw forums. Will try and post again.

Nero v3 / voodoo504

sbg 2.2 +
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I think the TWiz	MMS has some compatibility issues with most custom ROMS. For whatever reason picture messages were always blurry. Can someone test the JL5 version to see if it has the emoticon button, and receives pictures that aren't blurry? If that's the case, I'll use it, but to my understanding it still doesn't. I'm not going to compromise functionality just to save people from tapping 2 extra characters in Swype.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
My theme would replace your current battery mod, they aren't going to coexist naturally, sorry. If you still want to flash my theme, then yes, I would recommend flashing theme restore and rebooting once first. Some other themes/mods aren't compatible, so in your case, I would to be on the safe side.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
No, sorry. It would too much work to release 8 different versions of SBG, especially for minor updates.

Plus I'm done working on it. It was a requested feature, and isn't really part of my theme anyway. I compromise by making it an addon. If you can't flash 2 updates, totaling in 20 seconds of CWM menu navigation, maybe this isn't the thread for you.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Thanks for the kind words! It will definitely be in the next release, but probably not for a couple days cause I've been a little busier, and have been working on side projects like my themed Swypes in my spare time.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
I honestly don't remember, it's been so long since I've run stock TWiz. :P
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Yeah, throw me that link if you can.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Merry Christmas to you too! Thank you for reporting this, I will most certainly look into it. Was this my original theme or one of the requested ones? Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I tested this myself and I'm not having the same issue. Unless anyone else reports the same, I'm going to conclude that there is nothing wrong with my theme. Are you possibly running a different version of Nero (e.g. beta3 instead of v3)? Did it work before you flashed the theme? Try re-downloading and flashing my theme. The file could have been corrupt or you could have had a bad flash, it happens. If that doesn't help you may want to re-download/flash the ROM, possibly from a different mirror. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Ste11a:
Thank you! I love it. And Merry Christmas to you, too. :D

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] adamboyd83:
Thank you for your work. Used the Nexus boot and wifi calling zips and they worked great. Will be using the animation zip shortly. Would love to see something changing the theme of the Google search and news and News and Weather widgets back to stock. They are the only thing I dont like about the Nero ROM. If you could do anything about it, that would be awesome.

Merry Christmas!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdanisevich:
Good idea! I'll do that after my nap. Expect it to be under goodies sometime tonight. I'd do it now but I'm exhausted for some reason.

Merry Christmas to you too!

That would be awesome.

Done. Sorry it's a bit later than expected. Hope that's what you were lookin' for!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LovellKid:
Hey man just threw this on 3 vibrants, I love it. Just throwing this out for a potential project. How about exactly what you have here (better battery mod, no animations, etc.) but instead of GB green, use cyan instead. Yeah?
