New Theme for seeARMS JL2 v0.3 REVISED ROM...

Hi All,

I have a new theme for us seeARMS JL2 users that was ported for me to share as we dont have many themes for our ROM.

It is the D3StRoY & R64 Generation X Blue Theme. Download from the link below...

http://www.multiupload.com/ZTVDOVAWWH

This theme can be seen in the D3StRoY Theme Thread and all standard install instructions are there as well... See link below...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898892

This theme does NOT have the 4 lockscreens or the extended power menu as advertised in the theme thread as our ROM does not have these options built in but this is a NICE theme!!!

All theme credit goes to D3StRoY and R64... I only asked to have it ported for our JL2 ROM.

Enjoy it!!! :D:D:D

EDIT: seeARMS, can you please move this info to the first page / post so everyone can see it instead of it sitting on one of the last pages? Thanks man!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Ok. First of all, I would like to say thank you for taking the time to give us Bell Vibrant users some custom ROM love. :D

I just installed your ROM (I was running stock JL2 w/OCLF v2.x before), and this is my first attempt at running a custom ROM.

Good job man! It's soo much faster. It's funny. My Quadrant scores are LOWER on your ROM than they were before on stock JL2 w/lagfix, but the actual PERFORMANCE is much faster. Smooth as butter and no lag at all. My pic gallery issue (SLOOOOW to show thumbnails) is fixed now too.

I will test it for a few days and wait for it to stabilize, but battery life seems to be better now too.

*EDIT* Wow. GPS is wicked fast now. I can get a lock on 6 birds with an accuracy of 5 meters in 10 seconds or less.

If all goes well and it runs stable, I will gladly shoot you a donation. :)

Nice work great improvement from stock rom

I found a bug in contacts menu. I cant use the back button. It works fine everywhere else except when im looking at my contacts
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pileot:
any chance you could add support for juicedefender / ultimatejuice? esp the cpu clocking abilities, slow down the processer when not used and speed up when needed.

also, ability to turn off 3g / wifi when not being used or when the screen is off. This saves a LOT of power
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
I may be wrong but I believe the options you are requesting would need to be built into the kernel and not the rom.

speedmod kernel k13a 500mhz

Hi

i need to downgrad my e3 to e2.

is it fine to flash the speedmod k13a 500mhz kernel?

is this kernel going to install for me the e2 recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bdking2:
You can flash k13a directly. It will install clockworkmod recovery for you. Then you can flash a rom from that.

I installed my original speedmod kernel via Odin. But you may be able to install from recovery if you rename the file to update.zip

Of course it will all depend which version you download. I hope I haven't toally confused you. Good Luck and have fun.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
That is a known bug with Launcher Pro. It's not the fault of the rom. You will notice that if you pick any of the other two launchers, it doesn't happen.

Long press the contacts button in the dock in Launcher Pro and when it brings up the menu to select which app it opens, pick contacts. That should solve the issue. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
If you would like to handle CPU speed, try "SetCPU" from the Market. That works. I am using it to set my CPU to 200MHz when idle and 1.2GHz full speed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Is anyone here familiar with an app called Anim Mod? It is an animation changing app for all menu transitions.

I have seen many vids of other roms where the animations for menus have been changed and "pimped" out and this app will do this as well but it zipaligns the framework and I'm not sure if this will mess up the rom in any way?...

Is there anyone here that can advise on this?

Thanks...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Sure. I'll make a flashable zip within the next few days.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaman:
Hate to tell you guys this, but I got a phone dated 10.12 with JL2 preloaded and the SD card failed within 24 hrs... It was after flashing Doc's v7.5 with JL2 modem... don't know if the SBL.bin got overwritten though.

On my second SGS, I got it repaired from Samsung and it's preloaded with JL2... I've decided to buy an external SD to keep my media files and load my backups from... and not to flash any custom ROMs... I have flashed hardcore's latest kernel...

Let's hope!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fieldop:
Sorry I'm quite new to this. I know this is probably a noob question but, I've followed the instructions and tried to unzip the zip file from recovery mode but it keeps saying something about installation being aborted. Can anyone please let me know what I'm doing wrong? And yes, the zip file is in the root of the internal storage. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
What ROM are you running? If you're running any of the stock Froyo ROMs (JL2, JK3, etc) then you're going to need to go back to recovery 2e before it'll work. Follow the steps in the FAQ to do so.

Or, if you're sure everything is right, then sometimes the file can get corrupted when transferring it over to your phone. Delete the file, and try transferring it over again.

Let's just hope you were one of the unfortunate ones regarding JL2... There have been a lot less reports about people running JL2 with their internal SD dying, so yours could have just been unlucky.

Also, just an update: switched over to Super Optimized Kernel, and the phone is much, much faster. I'll be bundling this in the next version, along with a bunch of other fixes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fieldop:
Oh I see, I bought it second hand and I think its already running a custom rom. Recovery mode show 3e, so I gotta go back to 2e. Correct? Thanks for the reply!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Yep. Just follow the steps in the FAQ to revert back to 2e and you should be good. I guess it's running a custom ROM that doesn't have ClockworkMod or another alternative recovery, that's odd. Typically custom roms have a kernel which contains a different recovery.

seeARMS' Bell UGJL2 ROM. Steam Recovery, SpeedMod Kernel. with Gingerbread theme?

Hey seeARMS,

Was wondering if you will release a version of seeARMS' Bell UGJL2 ROM. Steam Recovery, SpeedMod Kernel. Which includes the Gingerbread Theme?

I see you have the JPY + Gingerbread.. but I've been reading that might cause an internal SD failure.. which I don't want since I just got my phone back and i've been out it for over a month :)

Also should I back up my stock Bell JL2 rom? Or is that available to download so I have it handy in b case I need it.

-Turok
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Sure. Eventually I'd like to get a selection of ported themes which are available for download. However, it's a bit more difficult than that, because currently there are no themes designed for JL2; mostly JPX, JPY, etc, because those are the most popular ROMs.

I'll start working on the themes after I release v0.2.

Also, your stock Bell ROM is available for download on samfirmware.com. In case anything happens, its simply a quick flash in Download Mode and it's as good as new.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
I figured it wasn't something yes to do, just wanted to ask. Thanks all the info. I'm so clueless to the firmware versions. I tried googling about them but to no avail or at least that I could see.

So from what I get for our Bell Galaxy phones we should probably run JL2 custom firmware.. Will JPX and JPY cause internal SD failures? Is JL2 only from Bell.. and what about JPX and JPY are they from other cellular providers or just different versions of the rom/firmware?

I apologize ahead of time if I sound stupid.. I'm trying to get up to speed on the cellphone scene specifically SG from Bell

Turok
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fieldop:
I'm trying the Odin as stated in the FAQ, all is well right up to the point where i click the start button, nothing happens. It just says "All threads completed (succeed 0 / failed 0)" Am I missing something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
A section of the JL2 firmware (the secondary boot loader) apparently fixes the internal SD card issue, but not much is known, and some reports have come in from phones running JL2 dying. After installing the stock JL2 firmware using Kies, it automatically installs the secondary boot loader, and you're free to flash to whatever other firmware you wish, now that you have the SBL. (except other stock firmwares which contain an SBL, because then it'd overwrite it.

JL2 is only from Bell, and I believe JPX and JPY are unofficial firmwares from Samsung.

Is your phone connected properly and in download mode? This typically happens if your phone isn't fully connected. Try restarting Odin, changing to a different USB port, restarting download mode, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Thanks for answering everything you rock!! Im sucking all this info in :)

Another stupid questions.. about the 850mhz band.. can you either point to a FAQ or doc with more information on it. Or can you tell me why this is so important to Canadian (Bell) phones? Why do we need to use it? What is it exactly.. is it the 3G network we connect too?

Sorry about these newb questions.. bare with me please this learning curve is way steeper then with the icrap stuff :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jordiharrison:
I've been out of the flashing scene for awhile (Terrified of getting my 5th SD death :( ) but I will try out your rom.

Thing is though, I want to put the Super Optimized Kernel on. If I do everything right should it work no problem?

My phone, after being fast since xmas, is really starting to hit the wall. So I am very excited to get back into flashing :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
The 850MHz band is a 3G band which apparently has better range and reliability (as opposed to the higher frequency 1900MHz band). It basically only used in Canada (and I guess Australia?) but cell carriors like AT&T are trying to make it the standard band. Because of this, the i9000 (ie: not Bell Galaxy S) doesn't have the functionality to connect to the 850MHz band.

Basically every single custom ROM is running a US/European ROM (ie XXJPY, XXJPX, etc) which lacks the Canadian modem which provides the 850MHz functionality. I decided to create a fully Canadian ROM with this modem and everything based entirely off the stock firmware by Bell.

(Alternatively, you're able to flash any different ROM, then flash the JL2 modem on top of it. This will give you the 850MHz band back.)

Just finished v0.2 of this ROM and it actually uses Super Optimized Kernel instead of SpeedMod. (I've noticed a huge increase in speed by using this kernel.)

So, I'd just wait until tomorrow (takes a while to upload...) and just flash that ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Hi seeARMS,

Does the super optimized kernel contain all the same goodies as hardcores?

I ask cause since i flashed hardxores kernel (thanks to your help) i have not really seen much of an increase in speed.

I enabled the tweaks but not the lagfix as im scared the lagfix will kill my internal sd.

Is the super opt kernal really faster and what settings do u have it set to?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I don't think you'd really notice that much of a speed increase from only installing a kernel; it's basically a bridge between the applications and the actual data processing. Now, installing a fully de-odexed, zipaligned custom ROM with a bunch of Samsung crap removed, you'd find a increase in speed.

However, a lagfix does really increase the speed. The EXT4 file system is simply faster than RFS; that's the fact. If your phone feels a bit sluggish, I'd recommend turning on the lagfix. (However, I just installed v0.2 and the phone flies without it.)

For the settings, I just enabled all the tweaks in the Super Opt kernel, and enabled the basic EXT4 lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Thanks seeARMS... Is 0.2 up yet? I will try it. Any word on themes at this time? I wish i knew what i was doing so i could be of assistance to you...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Not up yet. Should be roughly another few hours or so. Best bet would just be check tomorrow.

No word on themes yet, I wanted to get v0.2 out before working on 'em. I'll start porting themes over tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
You da man dude. Tell me... If I flash v0.2 before a theme is added then do i kust flash a theme over top or will i have to flash the complete "themed" rom all over again?

Sorry if i asked this before but i dont remember if i did... Lol...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jordiharrison:
I'll be up till 2-ish AM probably, I've got loads of time. Its only 6pm! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I haven't heard of that one myself.

I just noticed by your signature that you are running the X Blue 2.0 theme.

How do you like it? Does it run ok with seeARMS' rom?

I was looking into it, but I haven't been able to figure out how to install themes yet. Also, is the theme removable after in case I don't end up liking it?

THx.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Hey dude...

Thanks for the reply. Ya... I had D3StRoY port the blue theme for this rom and it works great!!!

Check a few posts back and u will see my post about it. The link to OUR roms download is in my post. DONT download any of the themes from the original thread cause they won't work. Only the one I posted the download for here will work for us.

If you don't like it after its installed, SEEARMS posted the original theme on the first page and you can flash it back using that.

I LOVE this theme!!!

I hope someone can tell me about that anim mod app though. I'd love to change up the menu transitions like I've seen in other roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Nice! Thanks dude. I'll give it a try. The install instructions that are in the original theme thread apply though, right? I will check out your post again when I am back on my comp in a while.

Doh. I saw your theme post when you put it up and pulled a stupid and didn't put two and two together when I asked you about the theme...hahaha
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Yup. Take a peek at my post, dl the theme from my post and check the install instructions in the original theme post which I provided the link for in my post... lol.

Instructions are pretty simple... much like flashing the rom itself from recovery. I don't think you will have any problems... :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Thanks dude!

I just downloaded the theme. So I just flash the zip file from recovery to install the theme? It's that simple? heh.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I'm back. :)

Sorry about the inactivity for the past week or so.

Currently working on the new version - should have multiple kernels, modems, etc which you'd be able to choose before installation. Expect it to get released by this weekend.

Also, I'm trying to get a new JS5-based ROM released relatively soon as well.

Thanks a lot Yiannis, added the theme to the first page. :)

See the FAQ question 8.

Yep, it's that simple. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Yup... its that simple. Just make sure u choose zip from SD card and scroll to the file and flash away...

Hope you enjoy it... :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Nice to see you back seeARMS ... I was getting worried... lol!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Thanks! Thanks for the great rom. I love it! I can't wait for the next one.

I just fired a donation your way. :)

OK! Installed and rebooting. Let's see how much this theme rocks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Didn't see this post, sorry:

I haven't heard of such a theme, however you'd be able to (relatively) easily change the animations in certain themes. The Gingermix theme contains some pretty awesome custom animations, and it'd be as easy as replacing a folder to get the animations transferred over. I'll look at getting the Gingermix animations transferred to the Generation X theme.

Thanks a ton Gib, I really appreciate it. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
No problem!

Ok. I installed the theme .zip file from recovery and booted. It looks.............exactly the same. lol Am I missing something here? It didn't seem to do anything lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
It should look like the screenshots here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898892

Yiannis has even provided a screenshot of his phone running this ROM and that theme: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11212421&postcount=992

Are you sure you installed the right zip? Did you see the text in recovery stating the theme was installing?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I installed the "Generation_X_v2.20B_seeARMS_v.03_NOBOOT.zip" that was in the download link from Clockwork recovery. It showed the install went fine and told me to reboot. I did and it's exactly the same. Wierd.

It shouldn't matter which launcher I am running would it? I am using the Gingerbread launcher.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Well, that's quite odd.

I just took a look at the theme and it does include the themed files and everything, so it should really work. I'll try flashing it tomorrow and try to see why it's not working for you.

Edit: No, it wouldn't matter what launcher you're running, you should still see the themed battery icon, pulldown menu, notification bar, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I just flashed back to stock theme and then flashed the Gingermix theme to test it. Same result. No change. Odd.

Do you think it could be because I did a full restore (including settings) from Titanium backup AFTER I did a factory reset after installing your rom? Maybe the restore screwed something up. I may try another factory reset and NOT restore settings, just apps.

*EDIT* I just did a factory reset and we'll try that again. I restored everything and then tried installing the theme again for the hell of it. It worked this time! It looks awesome!!

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] klau1:
seeARMS, thanks for your efforts in making this fabulous ROM for us, very much appreciated!

I have one question, why is swype's information bubbles and help file in french?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
No problem, glad it worked.

Seems to be a bug. It happened when I was trying to get French Canadian supported... I probably just renamed a certain file by accident. I'll try to get it fixed in the next version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Hmmm... tell me what u did.

For me... I dl'd the file directly on my phone and then in astro I moved the file to my "internal" SD card.

From there I entered recovery, chose the option to chose zip from SD card, scrolled to the theme zip and installed.

From there you should see text scroll on the screen saying that it is installing the Gen x theme and then it should say install complete.

Then go to reboot device and when it boots you should be good to go.

Are you sure you downloaded the right file? The one from my original post?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Lol... nevermind. I diddnt read far enough before I answered.

Glad it worked for you. Do you like it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
Yea, I'm not sure why it suddenly worked after not working for several tries. Oh well lol.

I do like it! It looks awesome! The notification bar icons look like the ones I had in the theme on my jailbroken iPhone 4 I had before this.

Ah the iPhone 4. I sure don't miss it......hehehe
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
SeeARMS. Can I make a small request for the next release? I'm not sure if its even possible to do, but is there a way to disable the annoying haptic vibration when you slide the unlock or mute button on the lock screen? It seems to always vibrate even if you have haptic feedback etc disabled in the settings. I know the default Samsung lock screen didn't do it when you disabled it in settings, but this lock screen (which I like much better than the Samsung "glass" one), does.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Im glad you like it!!! :-)

@seeARMS,

Please advise people that the Gen X theme that has been ported for us is ONLY the BLUE theme so that people dont accidentally go and start downloading other colors from D3StRoY's thread.

I have asked D3StRoY to port me some other colors as well... Red, HARD BLUE, etc but they are not done yet.

Once they are done, ported and tested I will get them posted... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I love the theme in blue.

After using seeARMS' rom for a few days now I can't believe how fast and smooth it is. Everything is like butter. No lag or hiccups anywhere. Even something as simple as typing on the keyboard is now instant with no delay when typing quickly.

Its now on par with the iPhone 4 as far as OS responsiveness. I hate iOS, but it always runs like butter. Well this phone does too now! :)

GPS is insanely fast now too. Wow. If I open Google Maps I get a lock of 10m in about 5 seconds. This is IN MY HOUSE!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turokk:
Yiannis is the blue theme 100% complete.. no bugs or issues.. etc??

Is there a download link for it? I'm interested in checking it out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grokon:
seeARMS add it in the first post...

for me, it works flawlessly...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Hi Turrokk,

Yes. The dl link is either in my original post or as mentioned it has been moved to the first page for easier access.

This theme works fantastically!!! The only thing missing is the 4 lockscreens and the extended power menu as our rom curently does NOT have them built in. I hope that seeARMS will be adding them in the next release of the rom.

Hope this answers your question and I hope you enjoy it!!! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I had a few hiccups installing it (didn't work the first few times), but now it works beautifully and has no issues. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
This just means we have to keep bugging seeARMS until he adds them.......hehehehe :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Yup... You know it... LOL!!! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I just noticed a weird issue after I updated to the latest Super Optimized Kernel (I wanted the latest Voodoo Sound with the DAC tweaks). My screen can't seem to decide what brightness it wants. It goes brighter and dimmer randomly like it is on auto brightness, but it's not. It's set to 3/4. Maybe the newest Voodoo Color (also included in the kernel) is screwy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
That is a feature of the SOK... That is why I flashed hardcores kernel... I hate that vsf feature in the super optimized kernel...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GibMcFragger:
I just flashed with Speedmod k13a 500Hz Kernel myself and the issue seems to be fixed. Too bad I can't overclock with this kernel though. Not that the extra 200MHz does anything but suck more battery. Hardcore=win.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yiannisthegreek:
Yup... I agree with you on that. I much prefer hardcores kernel...
