I wouldn't mind jumba with just three battery icon but only if it isn't too much work
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Glad you like it........:)

Im using insane kernel...overclocked and undervolted..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
I will make one and get it uploaded in both insanity and non insanity versions soon :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dlegric2:
Xan's kernel?! Using DamianGTO 1.2 kernel also OC and UV but battery drain is quite high. When using on Darky's 9.2 it was good drain. Dunno just gotta get my combo's right methinks.

The default kernel in Insanity seems good too. Stefano's??? What is that based off?? do you know? Voodoo?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Yeah...Xan kernel...my battery life is great...never used stock for long....its based on speedmod....another downside is it uses version 1 of the sound fix....I like version 4 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dlegric2:
Cheers thanks for that...Yip definately want voodoo 4 sound!!

Your theme rocks btw!! (Ok I mean your mix and match repackaged thingy) Thks. on my phone already.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Both versions now up in post 1 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
hahaha.....I know what you mean...glad you like it and its working ok :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nizno:
could u post a picture with the difference between your battery en bezke's battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] hacksome:
Thanks. Good looking theme.

Any mirrors Pls?

MegaUpload is a bad bad place to share ;) - esp when you have Mediafire which always works + free + nowait + multiple downloads!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nizno:
Megaupload goes badly slow with only 20 kb/s :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Take a look at their threads to compare...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Mirrors up

Strange experience, fruitloop on first reboot then booted fine.... weird android goblins.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jcc332006:
Is this JS5 or JS7 rom compatible? Looks Great! Thanks.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
If your using the normal theme,which you must be if your on Ultimate 8.0 then only things that I changed were the icons...

Weird :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] morphjk:
Thanks very much Rista
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Your Welcome....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nizno:
Hey there,

Thanks alot for your awesome upgrade of this theme!

Hope to see u change the other icons soon also to make it even more perfect!

One question, will this work on the upcoming darky update to gingerbread?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
No it wont work on gingerbread..

What other icons are you talking about?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nizno:
U only changed 3 notification bar icons so i am talking about the others ;)

silent mode, bluetooth etc
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bristolian:
Nope, just hadn't updated my sig to insanity rom.

All seems to be fine now, have done a few more reboots and no more probs, just that initial 1st reboot with the dreaded 3 vibrates!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mr Woolf:
Hi rixta,

Looks great, looking forward to updates.

Appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dlegric2:
Hey Rixta. you don't by any chance have a neon gt green contacts that works with insanity?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nizno:
Could u make it work for darky 9.5?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DamianGto:
No neon boobies? ?

**DamianGTO ultimate kernel v1.3 * 600Hz * 345MB RAM * OC/UV * 1200MHZ**
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] raistlin74:
Hi rixsta,

great work.

Just one question, how can I make a new icons for the homescreen?

Do you have the original psd?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nizno:
So does it work on XWJS8 ( darky 9.5 ) or is it only my phone where its crashing on ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] raistlin74:
It works for me on Juwe 1.9 (xwjs8)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 22vlaja:
hy, can u help me how to get these icons like u i have mark that, anyway im on darky 9.5 rom, and theme work's fine exepct that, need help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jolvin:
no it doesn't work with darky 9.5 .. cos i am having the same problem too ...

right now .. i got problems with changing my fonts....

as the fonts will always remain as default fonts... no matter what i change .. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dobranszky:
nice work

just what i needed
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
Just use launcher pro or adw launcher of any launcher where you can change the rows and columns on the homescreen and change the icons....everything on the homescreen is done through the launcher settings ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vadersbane:
Hey Rix

Hope you are well.

Is it possible to get this working on Darky 9.5 please??

Cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] All Day On XDA:
Excellent contribution to Insanity. The first theme to really tempt me away from BAT and to possibly reinstall widgetlocker

I purchased it a while ago but stopped using it as it was quite heavy.

Since we're on the same rom and I assume you use widget locker, could you tell me if its optimized better now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
To be honest Ive had no problems with it...so I'm not sure if its better or not..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nesquix:
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

absolutly NICE, smooth, incredible, and everything you want!!!!!!!!

thankssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aayyaanna:
from where can i get that analog clock?! the rom is working flawlessly on js8(romkitchen) but i want that wallpaper and analog clock!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] robm1911:
Great work big thanks for the green theme. Btw what file did you edit for the green clock in the status bar and does it also include the date when you show the notifications
[Epic 4G General] JMMusic:
Based on my own experience, as well as many requests in various ROM release threads, as well as many other comments in various ROM release threads...

RFS please.

Any speed gain from EXT4 with no journaling is made moot the first time one has to wipe and re-flash, even with backups (maybe especially with backups, which seem to cause some issues as well).

I like speed, I overclock my computer, my video card, and even my phone, but I need stability in my phone. I need the dependability that if my phone crashes it isn't going to force me to do a wipe and re-flash half the time. So... suppress your inner flash-happy geek enough to realize that stability and dependability are important aspects of a phone and at least give the option of an RFS file system.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
You are in the minority my friend,90% or more that use EXT4 have no problems at all,,,I don't trust no journaling 100%,but I havnt had 1 problem running it for almost 3 months; And you can enable journaling...
[Epic 4G General] caspertodd:
Same here... I haven't had a single problem on any of the ROMs I have run here. I have been enjoying speed + reliability.

I understand what JMMusic is saying though...the whole premise of having a custom ROM is that you can modify it how you want. Maybe RFS should be an option for those that want it. I do think that EXT4 with journaling enabled is the best route though.
[Epic 4G General] gdbassett:
I personally agree with OP. I'd rather have stability over speed in my phone. I? Ok with just ext4 journalling over rfs, but I would rather have journalling on.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
Epic experience is rfs
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
I cosigned OP, this is the reason I'm not flashing anymore custom roms now. Everybody is on this ext4 banwagon. I'm good, they can miss me with that. I've never had problems out of the ordinary from RFS. I can go on for days about ext4. When I do flash a rom it will be CM7 before anything now.

I hate "Top Flight Security Mods"
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
Add me to the jouraling ON list. I need stability more than I need the highest quadrant score.. Re-flashing gets old when your supposedly great ROM decides to bork itself every couple days.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
Lucky you. I flashed a certain popular ROM. Everything was amazing...for a few days. Then it screwed up. Flashed it again. Everything cool. Couple days later it's crashing again. This process happened over and over. I NEVER had this problem with stock or stock minus bloat or stock minus bloat plus OC kernel. Only when using an EXT4 ROM with journaling turned off.

Coincidence? Not.
[Epic 4G General] jeffyv2:
Guess one of u guys that want RFS better learn how to cook

ExT4 > RFS
[Epic 4G General] caspertodd:
Why not just stay stock?
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
Well, that's my plan now that I've learned my lesson the hard way.
[Epic 4G General] caspertodd:
Stock ran very well for me. The only reason I went with a custom rom is just because I could. If I do start having issues such as data corruption, then I probably would go back to stock. So far though I guess I am lucky...I just hope I stay lucky for another 15 months or so when I'm eligible for my next upgrade.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
That's why I gave it a go too. I didn't fare so well. Performance was amazing, but it never lasted. You could almost set your clock to the system failure. I'm not the only one, either.
[Epic 4G General] tenaciousj:
No RFS for me but EXT4 with journaling enabled would be nice.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Anyone saying they want RFS after all the test we have done for stability is like saying Id rather not upgrade to FROYO, Eclair works just fine even though its gimped compared to it.
[Epic 4G General] insanity213:
I have to respectfully disagree here - apples and oranges. Huge differences between an OS and FS here. Yes RFS is older and slower but does seem to be less prone to corruption. Luckily I have 2 phones, the epic being for personal use so I don't mind the risk. But if this was my business use phone Id want the functionality of custom roms, and the slow but sturdy filesystem. Just my .02....
[Epic 4G General] f0xblade:
I don't know if I'd go that far. RFS is compatible with FAT so it can be read in windows. Not having to connect a USB cable to copy files from/to your SDCard is an advantage over EXT4.

Of course, while writing this post, I got curious, searched and found ext2fsd. Which might provide a solution to the ext4 'disadvantage'. Haven't tried it though.
[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
I don't understand. How could you transfer files on RFS without a USB cable? I did then, and now, with an FTP server. Was there another way?
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
I need stability over performance. That is why I've stayed with stock. I would be using SRF 1.0.1 right now if it had journaling enabled. Then again, I haven't had the time to do the research yet on how to enable it after the fact.

Sure it's nice to frequently backup to have a snapshot handy, but that should never be a requirement to maintain stability of a custom rom, IMO.

The lack of journaling still doesn't detract from the good job the ACS crew has done thus far with CIQ removal and whatnot. :)
[Epic 4G General] poit:
EXT4 with no journaling is plenty stable.......until you remove the battery without a normal shutdown. I've read multiple stories of having to reflash after yanking the battery on an EXT4 system because the file system gets corrupted.

Add me to the folks who are sticking with RFS, or at least a journaling system. Right now I'm on the stock ROM with the genocide kernel, and it's pretty good. It's got the camera fix and UV/OC on it. I get over 20 hours battery with moderate use and the phone is plenty fast. I'm sure it doesn't win any benchmark awards, but really who cares. Video plays smoothly and the UI is responsive. What else do you need?
[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
In advance, I acknowledge this is a very YMMV topic, since few people, whatever they prefer, have a solid grasp on everything their phone is doing behind the scenes based on their apps, and what is or isn't the file system's fault can really only be left up to unreliable benchmarking systems.

Personally I've noticed no real speed increase by switching to ext. I don't really think the file system is a the bottleneck at this point. It may be some day, but now? Nah.

If RFS is more reliable, I'll prolly stick with it in the long run. I remember from my Moment days getting tired of a LOT of hack hype when I realized simply rooting stock and removing unwanted apps was giving me more responsiveness and battery life than ANY of the custom ROMs. I have to say that gives me a crapload of reasons to be skeptical of what gives hackers a hardon, so don't be ashamed to speak up when you think some of the "lighning speed' people talk about might just be entirely in their heads.
[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
I've been on ext4 since Dameon first released Clockword Mod Recovery v3.0.0.x and I have yet to encounter a single problem.

Being a developer, I yank my battery prematurely and without proper shutdown frequently. It's a quicker way to turn off, plus it's the only way to restart when you've done something that has frozen the phone.

To the OP: Aside from saying "Hey, I switched to ext4, now stuff on my custom ROM is broken" do you have any solid proof of what is causing the problems? I've stated this before, and I'll state it again: ROMs are all betas. I don't care if the build release is "final". There's a reason everything you flash comes with the disclaimer "I am not responsible for whatever happens to your phone." Because developers inadvertently break things or cause things to crash.

There is also a huge problem with bug collection in a community like this (not the Epic community specifically). Because users are doing so much to their systems, bugs can be caused by anything. Apps, themes, tweaks, scripts, everything can cause every problem I've read in this thread. Let's take my phone for example:

ROM: Bonsai 3.0.1

Kernal: Bonsai kernel

Theme: Amosher's Gingerbread

Others:

98 apps installed

SetCPU set to .1-1.2GHz, Smartass Governor, set on boot

Custom boot animation

Several custom scripts and tweaks of my own

See that? I get WiFi tether force closes occasionally... and I never use WiFi tether. (I've actually ended up just removing the app) I didn't before I did a lot of that. I've ran into several problems with Amosher's theme (most because it conflicts with stuff I've done), but I've got it working now. But the fact of the matter is, if I went into Bonsai's thread right now and said "Hey, this feature no longer works" it doesn't prove anything. My system is so fragmented from the base Bonsai that my bug report should almost be completely ignored. It's why I've asked in the CM7 thread that people only report bugs if they haven't messed too much with their system. They can install apps and such, but any major changes, and the bug report doesn't matter.

So what am I trying to say? It all amounts to user-error. Something the user is doing is causing the problem. Be it bad flashing, bad tweaks, bad apps, or whatever... ext4 is not to blame.

Now, I'll be on my way. This argument has been had and buried. You can search for it and find the posts about it.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Well I also had a Moment and can first hand tell you all the advances on that phone were just that,advances,period,I ended up having 2 times the battery life.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
EXT4 may not be to blame but having journaling off definitely is.

I know this because I have my phone set up with exactly the same apps, settings, and data regardless of the ROM and kernel. There are no variables in what I'm doing as the user, so it can't be user error.
[Epic 4G General] JMMusic:
I actually have nothing broken. I avoid pulling my battery and seldom use the common culprits for causing sudden reboots like wireless tethering. I don't flash themes and don't restore from backups created on another ROM. I have had my phone suddenly reboot before, though, and I'm sure it will again at some point. I've read enough of the posts I am about to quote that I dread what I might run into when that occurs.

Anecdotal proof will never satisfy your desire for solid proof. But just in case...

Now back to your comments...

Notice the common word that is in every one of the above quotes. "Rebooted" (well, ok, the first guy just says "booted"). The problems a sudden reboot seem to create with some frequency cannot be blamed on user error.

And from theimpaler747, a modder himself:

It is a known issue and a known cause.

As I mentioned in my original post, I would prefer to not have to worry about backups or re-flashing or anything of the sort. Simple stability is my preference. I do want some of the benefits that show up in the ROMs (such as the Sprint spy software removal), so though I could run stock, I would like to have the option to run a custom ROM with somewhere close to the stability of stock.

Obviously I did... my opinion is that it should not be buried because daily backups to deal with possible file system corruption is not something I want to be forced to deal with in order to gain all of the other benefits of a custom ROM.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I agree with.what Devin said. I've been running ext4 since the say it came out on dk28 and u have had no problems at all. Yes I've had to pull my battery and such. But for.someone to start getting.g force closes and blame it on the rom it.filing system is just an excuse. If this was possible than alot.more people would have the.problem. bonsai has had over 2,000 downloads and I've seen a hanndful complain of the issue. What does that tell you. User error, apps, themes conflicting?

[Epic 4G General] nullghost:
1. EXT4 is open source.

2. EXT4 is handled natively in Gingerbread.

As for all these custom froyo roms? meh.

I don't know about you, but I'd like to be able to port new versions of the kernel without worrying about reverse engineering the RFS module.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
Be thankful yours is okay so far, but don't assume everyone with the problem (a known problem at that) is a complete idiot doing stuff that messes up the phone.

The reason we complain is that we DO want stability. Those of us who want stability are not doing risky stuff. We're simply using the phone.

The fact that these same issues don't occur with stock are sufficient evidence that the custom ROM is to blame.
[Epic 4G General] prodigyplace:
In my experience, that's not true at all. I upgraded to stock Froyo & rooted. It appeared that I lost battery life.

Since others were praising the battery life on ACS with EXT4, I tried it. the next day, I had to reflash even with clean shutdown & no battery pull. I reflashed & tried further. Nothing I tried (Airplane toggle, kill drm, etc.) gave me better battery life, possible worse that Froyo.

I am now on epic Experience (back on RFS) with *much* better battery life.

I need stability for my work phone. Reading the ROM threads, the Devs like to compete on speed while saying benchmarks are not everything. If EXT4 + journaling may kill OneNAND flash, perhaps Samsung knew what they were doing when they chose RFS. Thier driver couls probably be optimized better, but they have chosen to not let us do that. (closed source)

You cannot equate wanting RFS with not wanting Froyo.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Devinextreme from my experience is correct and I have made threads stating this. The only time I bork the rom I'm running is either with bad data or doing some weird changes somewhere. I agree with nullghost too. Its the latest fs and is the most supported and why make more work for the devs to bring the community a rom.
[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
JMMusic, and all of those sound much more like bad flashes or user screw ups than file system corruption. And again, is not proof. fsck isn't working on my phone right now, but next time you come across someone with the problem, have them do this from an adb shell:

fsck /dev/block/stl9
fsck /dev/block/stl10

I'm positive it's not going to show any corruption.

the fact of the matter is that so many people are on ext4 without any kind of "corruption" issues, as you state, that it is impossible say that's the cause. Even your fix of restoring working backups or reflashing the ROM are fixes that would work on every user error I mentioned.

Journaling is not that big of deal on our system. We are not constantly writing to files on our phones and abruptly turning the phone off before the process can finish. If you reboot properly, the phone doesn't shut down while it's busy. It's smart enough to end transfers.

You might not see marginal speed transfers from ext4, but it is no less stable than rfs (Which, for those who don't know, is Robust FAT System, which is just FAT32 with journaling enabled and 'optimized' for NAND chips).

Here's some reading material:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_system
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
To re-enable journaling simple do a nandroid restore...

Ive had corrupted data mainly when using wifi tether forcing the phone to reboot,

someone told me removing the battery or inproper shut down (vibrate then reboot) is like playing russian roulette with the journaling disabled mod, so u have to be lucky, ive done 3 battery pulls and have been lucky.. and no corruption,

whenever i boot directly in to clockwork with 4 button salute someone told me thats bad ive been doing that since dk28 journaling disabled and never had issues as well as the three finger reboot and never had issues,

the issues are unexpected reboots like the vibrate reboot and battery pull..

Well Put devin ;)
[Epic 4G General] prodigyplace:
This "latest" fs was release as stable in October 2008, long before the Epic was released. Samsung could have chosen Ext4.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4

It is only the "most supported" because the Devs are competing for the coolest ROM.

Unfortunately, for some of us the Epic is a necessary tool, not a new shiny toy.

A posted workaround to schedule backups every 30 minutes is not a reasonable solution when there are other choices.
[Epic 4G General] nullghost:
If your phone is a necessary tool, then why are you even here, flashing things? We're here to have our fun and prove we can do things beyond manufacturer intentions.

Again, this argument has been had before. If you don't like Ext4, then don't use it.

Can we get a moderator lock in here? This thread is pointless flamebait.
[Epic 4G General] theimpaler747:
Thread closed. This is a duplicate topic, and 4 pages is enough to vent at ext4 ;) Thank you.

So I know that the Citrix server is available in webtop, but is there a way for me to VNC over VPN into my work box over webtop, because that would be the bees knees.
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
It depends on what your VPN method is. There's currently no TUN/TAP support in the webtop, so vpnc or openvpn is out.
[Atrix 4G General] Raindance:
Yeah it stinks. I tried VPN on the phone with it's emulated window maxed. Nope, just not that great an experience. A true WebTop VPN app would rock. We'll just have to wait and see if someone writes one.
