That will be nice! It irritates the hell out of me when updates change my icons. Lol

Ad Mortem Fidelis
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freekers1337:
Just flashed this ROM.

First thoughts:

All the animations. It's overkill. I'm currently on as stock as it can be (no button animations and stock theme) but still the animations... is it possible to get back the stock/normal ones?

Is it possible to get back the normal stock icons?

How to turn off in CyanogenMod settings that I see my wallpaper? It makes it unreadable.

All these small things...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GhostZini:
Atomic animations are my friend. Loving this rom

Sent from my G2 powered by meXdroid Atomic rom, booyah!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
here is a quick and dirty tester theme for the theme chooser that will disable the button animations...for the two people who are actually still running it. lol

it will also set the system apps icons. So when they update via market you will not lose the icons.

I also finally have a new series of button anims that i think people might like better.

So i will update another theme you can try with it when i finish the .9.png work that needs to be done when you make a new .9.png from scratch. hopefully tomorrow..........................

PS. be nice its my first app. :) and please send any comments about probs to my PM... I dont want to divert the thread to much just yet... this is still in the beta stages.. thanks

*EDIT* I uploaded a new theme that has some new button animations... Should be closer to what people are wanting... Still pretty quick and dirty, but check it out anyway and let me know.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ditchmagnet:
Do I need to wipe to install the new version?

I have Ghost Chili AIO with girl theme right now.

If I don't need to wipe, do I need to use girl theme switch on the zip when I upgrade?

EDIT:

Ok, I have upgraded. It fixed some issues for me. I just used -girl, but did not wipe anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
I forgot to mention in my previous post that the new theme for the theme chooser with the new button anims should work on either atomic version.....the orig version with the button anims included....and the version mj released without the button anims included.... so you can just apply it in the theme chooser and check it out... it will also set the system icons.. so you won't lose the icons when an app updates.

Also the theme chooser will give an error saying it is missing assets for your device when you apply it....just apply it anyway...it still works...I will fix that later. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] guardian1969:
Very Nice I like the look of these buttons much more and they work in Root Explorer. Looking forward to other theme improvements.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
loving the new buttons very slick! Can't wait to see what you guys make next, but I do hope its soon! On a side note how is the development of implimenting your changes into source code so you could essentially make nightlies of your rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ATech:
I've tried to get this working to no avail. Feeling kinda dumb about it now. Will someone point me in the right direction? Is there a specific place from which I need to install and run from?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Not so good..... I had everything added to the source code, and then discovered that I didn't do it right when it came time to repo sync the latest commits.. and tbh I don't really know what went wrong. However, it doesn't really matter because now that I figured out how to change the anims with the theme chooser I would prefer to do all the theme changes with theme chooser.. that way it will be able to be used by lots of different phones, and different roms..

So.....we are changing direction a bit....

My new vision now is to have a "stock" rom, with a few additions like tweakr and custom kernel. And an updater service like tweakr has.. so when there is a new meXdroidMod rom you just update it with our own service that will automaticaly change what needs to be changed...including installing new themes for the theme chooser.. then the user can install whatever theme they want from the theme chooser, and have whatever level of theme-ness they want...like just icons...or just screen anims....or as many combinations of themes that I can stand to make for people...lol....so we will see..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
I'm sorry.. I don't understand...are you talking about the theme.apk ? If so just install it like any app...then open the tmobile theme chooser and apply the theme you want. If this doesn't help give us some more info and we will get you sorted...

So I can still play in this forum and with mexdroid rom! Yippie!

I'm pretty sure all that jazz with the icon animations and futuristic app icons will scare her.... so I'm going to revert to an older tamed down version. Possibly the girl themed

I went through the same thing with my wife's phone. You need to downgrade, afaik there isn't a way to root gb.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
if the phone somehow happens to be S-OFF, you can take a shortcut and just flash ClockworkMod thru the bootloader(there is a thread with the needed file). otherwise yeah, you'll have to go thru the temp-root/downgrade process i believe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
@lazy 361

You should learn ADB as soon as possible, it is pretty simple once you get the basics down and is very handy especially if you make some major goofs while flashing etc.

And there us a wiki in the general thread, or maybe the Dev thread with loads of guides for downgrading, if required, as well as all rooting guides.

And there is a method to root the G2 that does not have GB pre-installed, you just need terminal emulator. If you do have GB then you will need to downgrade and if I remember correctly that does require ADB.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ATech:
My best advice for you sir. Is to find AmazingLarry's EFS Data wipe .zip file. It'll erase all GPS data and may just clear up your problem. Or you can get the SuperwipeG2+ .zip from the same author. Difference in this one is that it'll wipe everything including the EFS Data. But naturally you'll have to re-install the ROM.

There's something that's been bugging me a lot lately. When getting calls, the screen remains blank for a few seconds while the phone rings, and it takes that few seconds for the phone to "wake up" before it shows who is calling. Would increasing my minimum clock frequency fix this? Was on 245+ and just upped it to 368+.

Yes, there will be ICS meXdroidMod rom. Right now my phone is not a good phone to dev on...due to, too many visits to the cell phone repair shops. The guys that tried fixing my ear speaker, broke a lot more of my phone than fixing the one issue. Which now means my phone is hanging on by a thread. Once I get a new phone....I will continue testing on my G2. Sorry for no updates lately.

We have the same upgrade month:-) . I am hoping HTC gets smart and continues the "G" series like Samsung does with "galaxy."

They should market a G3 by mentioning as 3rd generation of the original android phone running stock android.

HTC G3 with some up to date specs would make lots of money.

Yes it is but in this fast moving phone tech it is already yesterdays model. I know there will always be a better phone but why not upgrade to latest and greatest since you will be in a contract for 2 years?

Here is a link to rumored new HTC phone. Its like the HTC version of G-Nex but better specs ( minus screen but no sure thing). Again to each his own but with the MWC happening soon I would wait.

No worries, but ya I still have another year in my current contract, and the amaze will be getting an Android 4.0 upgrade soon, I'm not too concerned with having the latest device.

great job! Beautiful

liked it so much, I meryed it up to this weeks cyanogen, and then ported your rom to the sgt7.

With your permission, and full credits given, I'd like to merge most of the atomic animations into my next BOCA release.

Its come very far this last year or so.

I am still kinda wanting to take a back seat for now.. i will help when I can but I don't expect to be very dependable for others... So a "new" team needs to be formed.... amazinglarry said he was interested in pitching in... and if WDS is still interested, then you can't get better team member then him! And maybe the mexdroid Muiu guys can help out too...

I propose the Amazinglarry, WDS, and MJ team start back deving on CM7.... untill CM9 gets extended rotation control merged from CM7.... i cant live without that!

I personally am excited by the prospect of a ROM that has been built with more hands on from WDS, He is GOOD! WAY BETTER THEN I EVER WAS!

Well I finally got tired of using an ICS beta on my G2. Tired of not having everything working as it should. I have ICS running awesome on my HPtouchpad so really no need on my phone. Went back to Mexdroid Atomic no theme version with ICS theme installed. WOW! WTF was I thinking...MeXdroid Atomic is running so F'n AWESOME! My phone is once again flying and everything working as it should.

If you like mexdroid but like the ICS themes here is my setup...

-Install Atomic no button animation, no theme.

-ADW EX launcher(paid)

-APW Widgets(paid) Use ICS themes(my fave"modern ics dark")

-ICS theme by Sonny Sekhon in Market(install with theme chooser)

-Go SMS messaging app with ICS theme ( I use Alefox version)

-Beautiful Widgets(choose roboto font clocks)

Enjoy the Atomic speed with the good looks of ICS!

I have been using the last 3 versions of Mexdroid ROMs, for the past few months, and kinda got tired of the button animations & phone seemed to be slowing down. Tried out Andromadus 12, but everything's not working. So installed CM7.1 for the 1st time. Its cool, but missing meX & tweakr. How do I get rid of the buttom animations? Think I'm gonna come back to this ROM?

Try downloading the atomic build without button animations is what i believe you are looking for. As well as a framework with it disabled floating around. Either method should do the trick.
