Hi all, i'm using Froydvillian, and have applied both the Samsung Galaxy and Mininmal Matt ports which have been ported over for this specific ROM, and for some reason, on both, the drop down notification menu and the taskbar at the top are staying standard.
Both work when i wipe the device from recovery then flash, but once i restart the phone the problem occurs again!!!! why is this happening!! please reply asap as i'm going on holiday in 3 days and wish for this to be resolved.
Thanks in advance,

Not sure what you mean here. Did you flash one theme over another? Also, to undo themes, a wipe isn't enough. You need to fully reflash the stock ROM to get rid of themes.
Also, after installing a theme, don't install another over it unless you fully reflash the ROM again.
Thanks for the quick reply what i mean is, i flashed The latest Froydvillian ROM, and have been using it for a few days. However, when i downloaded and flashed the Samsung Galaxy theme for it, certain aspects of the theme didn't work, such as the notification pull down menu, and the taskbar at the top. They both stayed standard with the later text or symbols, but the colours and design was not the them.
I found out if i boot into recovery and wipe all settings, then flash the theme it works correctly, however if i reboot the phone it reverts back to the mismatched and ugly theme!
I have encountered this problem many times *zeik* it's so stupid! Anyways for my themes it worked for me to modify the update-script so it deletes the files before copying (since you probably have no idea what i'm talking about copy/paste it and PM the developer xD). I am very bussy right now so I can't do it but I'm sure the themer will do it for you (it's a very simple task)

Ever since I downloaded this one theme and it didn work, My phone cannot install themes. Every time I install a theme, I will boot up, get force closes that I dont even know what force closes because im stuck on a black screen, and I always have to restore back to my last save. What is up with this.
What rom are you using? That would help out things a lot better
We need more info. We need to know what ROM you are using, what theme you tried flashing, and any other info you can provide. Otherwise, you just have a story for a first post that no one is going to do anything with but read over and move on.
Sounds like dbdata issue. Try adrynalyne's 2.7 fix. He has a tar/odin file in there that will fix your phone.

I have stock eb01 deodexed. Some themes work once I install a theme that gives me force closes, then install another theme over that. I really have gaven up and Dont care anymore. I guess the fix is the re-flash stock eb01 with odin, but im way to lazy
As much as I loath asking questions I feel I need to ask one. You don't learn anything having all the answers givin' to you.
Well I have been working with a stock Optimus P509TN the Wi-Fi update one, I have switched Kernals, I have Deodexed it and applied the Dalvick to ram. All works well it seems. But then I install a Gingerbread theme as i much prefer the darker color, using ADB, However on restart i am immediately greeted with the lock screen and a lot of force close. I wipe the data partition and restart and it hangs and i have to restore the nand back up from before applying the theme.
Can anybody explain what happened between point a and point b that I missed, did i forget something when i deodexed, is the theme perhaps not compatible, maybe i should find a theme that is flashable with clockwork?'
edit-used the rom kitchen to edit joemomrom to be flashable in clockwork, made many tweaks for stability but the rom was already almost like i wanted it anyway. Moot point now, but I believe that it was the stock launcher causing it to keep looping at the second boot animation.
not sure what to call it exactly, but i just recently purchased my 10.1 tab (few days ago)... then i went camping and found out that my tablet does not or cannot located ad-hoc for wifi tethering off my samsung galaxy 4g!!! so i came home today and tried to root it.... then i installed the task650 rom.... i noticed my numbers on the home screens disappeared at the top...there should be maybe like 3-4 screens where i can switch left and right...but the bubbles at the top are gone..i even went back to stock, but it seems that they still didnt come back!!! i also noticed the clocks and bars at the bottom doesnt seem the same as when i first got it stock?? the settings colors still looks different too...maybe my tablet didnt have a new version of the kernels or updates etc...not sure...please help!

Task's launcher in V5 and V6 is different than stock TW KME. It has the bubbles removed on top.
When you went back to stock, did you do a full wipe of your system first? Let us know what steps you took to get back to stock to figure this out.
thanks for the quick reply, i just followed the first thread of i think in the development section that tells u how to root,unroot,roms...etc...
there was pretty much just 3 sentences.. i downloaded the filesfordummies.zip.... went to cwm and loaded up the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip, then i unrooted after that with odin.... but i did notice i get a force close after i booted up..so i redid the process again and wiped the cache, wiped and resetted the data, and wiped the dalvic thing... then i reloaded up the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip again... then i unrooted again (i rerooted earlier in the step again so i could unroot)....i see the stock stuff, but it seems the bubbles are still not there, the menu is still dark (unlike what i had in the stock one, and the widgets like the clock and weather that appears when i first purchased it is not at the homescreen)...so i know something is wrong..

Your on the original stock honeycomb. I can't remember if the bubbles were on vanilla honeycomb. Upgrade your Tab to Touchwiz to get the other features back.
If you need to upgrade link, here is KMB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205816
It was the first official Touchwiz update in the US. You can upgrade to KME from there to be at the latest and greatest.
hmm..ok ill try that out... do i have to get back the cwm to use it?? thanks!!!

Yes, you can use the filesfordummies to
1. flash cwm on ODIN
2. install zip via CWM
3. flash stocky recovery on ODIN
4. factory reset in stock recovery
5. go to settings>about and upgrade to KME
This method and the KMB link I posted will keep you unrooted and stay within warranty. This is what I do if I want a completely clean ROM.
Another medthod and possibily the easiest is found on this site from Overcome. (Started yesterday so I forgot to mention)
They have a download called restock and it will ODIN KME on your Tab and give you the chance to wipe clean.
http://p7510.teamovercome.net/
http://p7510.teamovercome.net/?page_id=18 goes to the guide.
i think im trying out the overcome way...im dling it right as im typing..ill update you...i think either way im going back to stock then returning this one (its only been like 5 days from best buys) and getting the white one
btw, i noticed youre from the bay area..maybe ill just drop it by your house so you can help me root my new one and install adhoc lol jk
alright i got the stock rom back in there now. all the widgets and bubble things are back too...i appreciate it!
now im wondering..is that task650 rom with the newer software, or is the factory one the newest?? thanks

Both are KME which is the latest US official release.
Other than that, tasks is themed and has enhancements that make it much much smoother than stock.

ah ok, so its just the theme that made the menus/task look different in colors. i have it all fixed now. i will PM you if you dont mind regarding adhoc tether. thanks again.
Hi guys!
I have changed rom from cm7 to miui today.
First thing i noticed is its not that much attractive or user friendly as cm7.
Im still wondering where is the app drawer???If anyone knows let me know!
Found a bug:
1-In brightness setting when i clicked custom brightness levels, phone went in loop mode.Had to reinstall the rom from cwm to get thing sorted.
2-I have kept time on "automatic" mode but rom doesnt take time from my sim operator.I have enabled all options but i think i will have to enter time manually.
The contacts menu is not as cutomizable as cm7.I dont get direct call button beside contacts names as i used to get in cm7.
It has good set of themes but theme download takes a lot of time.Server seems to be slow from where it downloads themes.
Will be posting more reviews as i use it.Dont think so i will tolerate this for more than a week!
The default MIUI launcher has no concept of an app drawer, it's like iOS in that they're all dumped on the home screen. You'll need a different launcher if you want an app drawer.
Some of the brightness issues might be caused by the fact that the original CM7/MIUI ports for the S5/V are hackports, those specific issues are expected.

Seems this ROM is bit buggy?
I installed miui rom at 8am morning and removed it at 11! thats all!
System time changed automatically. and when i called or received calls all the time it ran directly on speakerphone.(defauly option should be ear speaker).
I found it really a headache.
As we say in India, China is "CHINA"!!
Its a chinese rom and upgrade option given there to update the rom but it works in chinese language and asks for mobile verification code to register with miui.us!bUT I NEVER GOT THE CODE IN MY SMS INBOX!
Also miui rom has same ussb codes problems.google app is available though.Ididnt try ussd fix via cwm coz i really didnt like the rom.
Back to cm7...its the best and i thank the cm team for providing such a great rom.
USSD codes are broken on ALL S5/V GB roms if you dont apply the USSD fix, which apparently wasnt included in this rom.
It's due to all GB based roms reusing the dell stock drivers (which the USSD handling code lives in)
CM7 is also affected by it, I dont remember offhand if the V one has the fix included, but the original S5 one definitely didnt.
i used MIUI rom and i could reduce brightness in settings and it didnt FC...the only problem i found in CM7 and MIUI is the clock...even after i set the time it goes faster than it should go...those r the only problems i faced...now cant do anything with phone as it doesnt boot after showing dell logo...the logo disappears and dont know what happens...need help pls
I have been using MIUI on my Venue for two weeks now. Had stock Froyo rom before.
I have not experienced any of the issues reported in this thread.. not even the time creep.
Here's how I updated to MIUI.
1. Install Olleh 408 recovery (available here)
2. Install Olleh 408 update package (available here)
Note: rename this file to update.pkg and copy to your SD card's root.
3. install CWM recovery
4. wipe cache, user data, dalvik cache & Battery stats
5. install miui zip
reboot.
By the way, folks here using CM7... can you mute your phone during a call? also, do you experience any calls made or received where the other party could not hear you?

Yes we cant mute the calls,
Even if we mute the other party can hear us.
And the second issue is 1/10 where the other party cant hear you clearly or atall. But second time call solves the problem.
We need a workaround on the above two issues.

Mute issue is only with CM7...Mute works in miui. Other party can't hear you issue is on all miui and cm roms for streak 5 as well. Since They share kernel base...(kang/dsc/olleh)..I am pretty sure its kernel related.

Is there any better kernel that we can use?
any workaround?
guys try the new roms posted in the CM7 and MIUI for dell venue thread...it is posted towards the end of the thread...better updates than what is originally posted...i tried both the roms it works fine for me...
OK guys I got a question and I hope that someone can help me out here. I've been google-ing, looking for a similar issue and asking this question in couple of threads and after not getting an usable answer I decided to make a thread about my issue. My S3 emmc is the unfamous SDS affected one and I've been experiencing some lag and freezing so here's what I did with my phone at first:Flashed 4.1.2 XXELLA firmware, Rooted with-CF-Autoroot, flashed PhilZ Recovery v.4.35, Stock kernel.To get a clean installation I flashed the 4 file rescue firmware including PIT file and everything was working perfectly fine...no more freezes or random reboots just EVERY 2-3 days my notification bar used to get totally stuck/gone. Doing no matter what-restarting systemUI...etc,etc I couldn't pull the status bar down anymore until reboot.Tried stopping touchwiz home, clearing cache and dalvik, fixing permissions but it happens again in 2 days of mild-moderate use(web, games, texting, voice calls) Flashed again the XXELLA 4.1.2 firm.from sammobile.com.Changed the kernel as suggested by someone here on xda and it was ok for a while when using Siyah kernel v1.8.9+ until the next day when it happened again. It comes out of the blue just after doing whatever...at first I thought that is somehow related with the Triangle Away app that I used to reset the flash counter but it happened again even after I deinstalled the app. 2 days ago I wiped cache and dalvik, factory reseted the phone and updated it with the new I9300XXEMB1 uk firmware. It was running flawless until today when I faced the same frustrating issue. Out of nowhere after unlocking the screen I tried to pull down the notification bar to turn on wi-fi when..whoa!-there is no notification bar!again. I contacted Samsung U.S since there I got the phone this summer but they told me they don't have any tech support fot the I9300. It is driving me insane...what else should I try..tried hard resetting the device couple of times, tried different roms, different kernels all that is within my range of knowledge and this is my only hope that someone out there will give me an answer or suggestion. Any help will do good, thanks in advance.
Anyone?
Anyone out there please?
I experienced a similar issue, but it haa an explanation, Iwanted a black status bar, not the std dark gray one, then flashed a themed statusbar, when I rebooted, the status bar was gone, Ihad to reflash the rom (crdroid v 11), to recover the statusbar, finally found a theme with black background and white not light gray indicators, (LLC_XXEMA1_2_Jkay_framework_14_9blk statbar), and this one runs perfect, I now our problem is differnt, but give it a try, flash a statusbar theme, maybe, it will work for you, Im not giving you links, because it depends of your rom an framework, luck
Thanks I'll give it a try if I cannot stick to stock as close as possible then I'll try another custom rom like CM 10.1 or a themed status bar...For now the only "solution" to get back the notification bar is to use ROM Toolbox and with the rebooter to restart SystemUI-then it comes back. Uninstalled Dolphin Browser since I noticed that is the only app that I use prior losing the status bar (I might be just guessing idk for sure)
Finally I found a solution for my issue with the phone - SOLD IT! It was driving me insane with the constant status bar loss, no matter what stock firmware after the 4.1.2 jb update or kernel it used to run. Here on the forum I got no answer addressing the exact issue and I think that was the only solution. Bought a Nexus 4 and I really like it. Faster, smoother, better build quality, and I think I can live without the expandable memory and removable battery. Probably that was the last Samsung device I`ll ever buy until they start to manufacture a real quality products and start acknowledging and fixing the issues that follow them. Thanks to everybody here on this site for the help....
I think
I think it's the Custom ROM's SystemUI.apk problem reflashing with the same ROM would not help, i suggest to reflash the device to it's stock ROM and flash it again to your Desired ROM.

Tried everything my friend...reflashed to stock million times, flashed recovery firmware with pit file. Reverted back to stock with kies, downgraded, upgraded, changed different stock ROMs - nothing helped, felt disappointed and started to hate the phone cause it was driving me nuts so I sold the device and got myself a Nexus 4. I never regret of doing so, much happier, more satisfied overall with this beautiful device. Faster, no bugs,no lag, more quality materials used...now what is left is to convince my girlfriend to follow my steps as she started to experience the very same issue on the newest XXEMB5 firmware on her SGS3.
