To begin... make a backup 1st.... not responsible for damages while left in the parking garage.. enjoy the game!
This theme was made with permission of "thebowers". It's his creation. I brought it into GB land for the X2. I don't know if I did everything he did but I can tell you that I have made image edits galore for resizing purposes and to get all the new GB images not yet themed. I have also edited the crap out of a lot of xml's so things should work 100% smoothly out of the box. I have also incorporated some inverted apps which, I had nothing to do with. Credit there goes to thebowers, ecsnead and B-Boy. I also made a few apps myself because once I got going on 0.2.2, I got carried away. Three of those apps incorporate to make the X2's first (that I know of anyway) Fully Functional and fully inverted Dialer. 0.4 had issues so, I started over at 0 and made the entire thing myself this time to make sure it all worked.
Also, I changed the boot animation. It matches the theme oh so well. Credit there goes to Versatile1 because he made it (on droidforums.net).
Before we begin, I will list all the apps I have included. For ease of use, I highly recommend getting rid of any app on the list from your phones data folder first. For example, if you downloaded Facebook from the market, remove it from your data folder. Not saying you HAVE TO, just putting it out there if you run into issues, you know how to fix them.
Also for the market... this one you do HAVE to do... First, verify that you DO NOT have a vending app in \data\app!!!!! If you do this will not install!!! You will need to uninstall updates before flashing... Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>"ALL" tab>Market>Uninstall Updates
Will it break your phone if you don't do that? No, it just won't install a market... at all!
Lastly, I have taken the time to guide every .9.png file in the framework and in every app I touched. What this means to you.... If you want to make other changes, everything will decompile and recompile without error. Of course you need to add the dependencies if your editing systemui or settings but thats a blur thing. Not something I did.
Now.. onto the part anyone actually cares about..
The theme is located at the bottom of the deepest cave, surrounded by guardian flying pigs who crave bacon and eggs.
Ive also included a BNB style Icon Pack because, if you are crafty enough to figure out how to install them, I'm crafy enough to share them It's not a huge list, it just covers the basic ones most people stick on the main homescreen.
You can get that here.. but you have to go through the cave first.
If you see any issues please let me know.
Heres the cool list that got into the party....
Framework
SystemUI
Calculator (everyones favorite)
Contacts (Inverted)
Dialer (Inverted)
Phone (Inverted)
Facebook (Inverted)
Gallery 3D
Gmail (Inverted)
Google Quick Search (Inverted)
Keyboard (Black) .. whichever one is in 0.5.. hard to keep up...lol
Gtalk (Inverted)
Market (Inverted)
Google Voice (Inverted)
Music (Black) ##This is NOT the music app that came with Eclipse and it will erase that one##
Notes:
Music app worked on my phone without skips or pops when multitasking.. hope yours does the same.
Battery icons are stock Eclipse.. 200 images to make from scratch takes time.
Settings (Manage Applications is white BG with Black text).. will fix that when I figure it out.
This theme is basically a complete inversion of stock (with different images too). It is dark. On the D1, it was a bit hard to see but with this glare resistant screen or the display quality or something, its quite easy. Plus is doesnt burn your eyeballs when using the phone in the dark.
The screens are from 0.4.... the unselected tabs in the screens now have black text
SCREENSHOTS
Lastly... if you like what I do.. hit the thanks button please. If you have issues, questions, trouble installing, suggestions for a new app to invert.. POST UP!!
I like it cannibal pigs lmao ;-)
Great update btw hahaha

My phone is stuck on installing update with this zip. I will have to do a battery pull in order to recover. I tried again and same thing this isn't installing properly or even coming close.
I will need some confirmation from someone else to see if they can or cannot instal it. In the meantime, I will reinstall Eclipse 0.5, download the file from the internet like everyone else has to, and, try installing it on my phone. Give me a few for the results.
Yeah I don't know man. Worked fine for me.
Tell me exactly how you are going about installing it. I will troubleshoot it with you.
I have .5 eclipse installed i reboot into recovery and flash zip from sd card it hangs on installing. Everytime I have tried it gives me the same thing. I haven't had any problems with any other themes either.
I installed fine had to dl twice the first was a "bad" zip but the second dl was fine

Ok I can't purchase anything from market replaced the black one with a regular version from xda and still no go not sure if its theme or rom
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
My understanding on that issue is the stock one is jacked up in that way as well. I have heard (but not tried) that there is a .dex file you can install and all will be well. It has something to do with the signature of the app and it not agreeing with Google purchasing market thing whatever it it is.
wdenker.. maybe try downloading the file again like xheavy did. You could have just gotten a bad d/l. I have this on XDA and DF and no ones having the issue. Also, did you try using this theme on 0.4 or 2.2?
Currently updating this theme some more. Nothing has been posted by me yet but.. I have settings now fully inverted no matter what you click on.. i.e. "Manage Applications". I am about 50% done theming Go Launcher, I have the power widget on status away from green and, lastly, (for now anyway), I will be making new battery images.
Also, I plan on pulling all of my apps and redoing their icons to match. If you have request for app shortcut icons, please let me know.
Thanks for the info bro but after searching I haven't been able to find anything. Would you be able to point me in the direction of that .dex file or thread that contains it? Lol I hate the search function on the xda app lol I miss my poor dr pepper soaked laptop lmfao
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I asked about it... heres the info I got from a buddy,,, (the user names mentioned, except for the obvious are on DF)
there's no real fix... the certs files are an issue I think.. even the stock version is giving that error on some roms.. and my market works on most but some roms have the error.. bgill and BIGxie are both trying to figure it out also.. there's a user on XDA rujelus (I think) that has an inverted market also and his zip file worked on one of my roms that hadn't previously but then when I tried his again during testing, it wouldn't work anymore...
Ive themed every market since probably October of 2010. Best I can do is go backwards till one works, if any.. if you want.
Damn didn't even know there was this kind of problem lol its all good man it'll just force me to save money lmao

Don't feel bad. I didn't either til I started working on an orange theme and went to the market to buy a theme to see what orange would look like. FC and WTF! Checked around, apparently its hit or miss and no one can figure it out. Works on some ROMs, doesnt on others.

Was just going to update to v0.5 but I'll wait for your next release since i read your doing alot to it. I hope its not like first one was on my bad phone just kidding my old phone was just messed up read about a guy sending 7 DX2s back

Gingerbread Notification Icons(MetaMorph including Market, Gmail, and TWiz Email notifications.)
PLEASE READ:
This is just a little MetaMorph I threw together to change the notification icons of your favorite Vibrant ROM to the AOSP Gingerbread style icons. I pulled the icons from the Galaxy S and the leaked Gingerbread I9000 ROM. This is currently a BETA release to iron out any problems, and to take suggestions for more icons I may have missed, or icons from other apps I may have forgot about. Feedback is highly appreciated. This should work on all 2.1 through 2.2.1 ROMs, but I've currently only tested it on my current driver, that's where you come in!
NOTE: This may also work on other Galaxy S devices, but please, if you're going to test it, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!! Or at least know how to restore your current framework.)
Disclaimer:
I do my best to thoroughly test and make sure my themes and updates as universal as possible. That being said, not every flash is perfect. Issues with my themes/updates in the past have been rare, and easily recoverable, but that may not always be the case. Just as with any other updates you apply to your device, you're taking a small risk; That risk can grow when negative factors are added, e.g. human error/misjudgment, bad downloads, bad flashes, etc. I make these updates in my spare time, and offer them to anyone interested, however I am not responsible for damaged software, hardware, or any lives that brutally fall apart after flashing my updates. Please make sure you fully understand what you're doing, and the steps to reverse it if necessary, before applying these updates. XDA is a valuable source of information, simple searching/reading threads will often help you find a solution.
Instructions:
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP if you don't know how to restore your framework if anything goes wrong.
If you don't already have it, install the MetaMorph app by Stericson from the Market.
Download the attached .zip, and place it somewhere you'll remember on your sdcard.
Make sure USB storage is unmounted, and for best results, activate Flight Mode.
Run the MetaMorph app, Start Checks, and Unzip/Extract the .zip you previously placed on your sdcard.
Close the description. You can now install the different sub themes individually if you so chose (it's scrollable) , or you can select Apply all!
If you chose apply all and didn't encounter a forced reboot, it will prompt you to reboot, do so. Otherwise try again if it was unsuccessful, and reboot when it's done.
Deactivate Flight Mode and enjoy!
NOTE: You will have to reapply the sub themes for Market and Gmail every time they update.

THANKS JDAN! I've only tested Gmail and Market notifications, but its working great!
The Market icons seem to have reverted back somehow. Ill try to apply it again and see how long it lasts.
Your Market probably just auto updated. Every time Market and Gmail are updated they will "revert" back to the standard notification icons.

Metamorph is rarely successful for me on the first attempt when modifying framework-res. It usually takes me at least two attempts, sometimes with it force rebooting on me. Did Gmail, Email, and Market work for you at least?
On a side note, I might hit you up on Gtalk later with a couple questions.
I would post this under the eclipse section but in development but i dont have rights yet.
Is it okay to install a different launcher, email, calendar etc apps on ROMS like this. I hate to do that and destroy the whole idea behind the ROM but i love some of the preloaded apps that you cant get from the market.
Also has anyone noticed anything strange with how accurate the battery meter is? I was at 85% and when i rebooted the phone it said i was at %99 when it came back up.

There's a lot more to a ROM than the surface. Feel free to install whatever you want. Most ROMS though they have themed elements are modifying a lot of what you don't see. Removing unwanted involvement from Motorola, for example. Changing memory settings, wifi refresh rates, all sorts of things.
The battery meter issues are with 2.3.4 base, and no one has gotten a handle on how to fix it quite yet. It doesn't seem to affect battery life and within a little while, the percentage will get closer to accurate.
Thanks
Thank you.
I also noticed that the camcorder is missing. Oh well. This ROM is still pretty awesome. Thanks again.

Yes it is ok, I run launcher pro and have a different calender. As for the battery issue did you recalibrate the battery after flashing the new rom onto the phone?
---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------
You can switch to the camcorder once you start the camera app, also you could side load the blur camera if it bugs you that much.
No i didnt do the battery calabration. i think i might start over and give that a try. I actually really like the camera and the gallery i just happen to notice that there wasnt a camcorder icon in the menu. Trust me thats not a big deal.
As said earlier, the camcorder is in the camera app.
As for installing other apps, if you mean installing apps from the market, that is ok and they will work correctly. However, if you mean installing the original preloaded blur apps, most of those will have some functionality missing with Eclipse, if they even work at all. Posting exactly what apps you want to install will get a clearer answer.

If u want a direct button to camcorder GO TO MARKET.
Download app named CAMCORDER SHORTCUT.
Presto. Camcorder direct app button.
Anything else u need?
I used the battery fixer zip that's been floating around. I'm also using eclipse and since flashing the fix, Ive reboot my phone 4 or 5 times, all at different intervals of my battery's charge and its been minus 1% after every reboot. Way better than before. I'd have to say it works. Here the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350336&page=6

I use different launcher and music applications on my and have no issues at all. i dont see why you would have any issues, give it a shot whats the worst that can happen you reflash it.
My advice is to make a Nandroid backup before you make any changes you may later regret. Then, if you find that after installing an application your phone starts to have weird anomalies, you can simply restore from your backup when you know it was working well.
I also hate that I cant post in the dev threads yet. Not everyone that creates an account here is a n00b. lol. Oh well. I gotta get my 10 posts in.
The eclipse rom is just like the stock rom in the sense that you can install anything from the market and use it as normal, such as launchers, email apps, messaging apps, etc. They will work fine.
As far as the battery problem, that was something introduced with 2.3.4. Blame that on Motorola. There is a battery fix that was mentioned above that works well. I have been using it for about a week and have seen no problems with my battery jumping after reboots.
Hey xda. Okay so I'm here yet again asking for help, both in general and directly from Finlessbob or Dochoppy. So I have finally determined what I want in my new ROM "SOSA-Tab 1.0 Apricot" (or for Phones, SOSA 1.0 Apricot). Here are some of the features:
For the Nextbook Premium 7 and Velocity Micro Cruz T408:
1. Beats Audio 2. Increased GraphicsQuality 3. Speed Tweaks 4. Settings Tweaks Integration (Hoping to integrate bottom status bar BEFORE release, If anyone can help me with that it would be much appreciated) 5. (NP7 only) Cover Flow Music Player
And the list goes on and on. I am not going to tell about the phone because that is not my mission at the moment. Right now I need some help building the ROM for the Velocity. I have rooted it, but I cannot integrate the root into a custom rom, or anything else for that matter. The tablet comes stock with a recovery image that allows you to flash thefirmwaredownloaded offof the velocity cruz website in it. Here is my problem. I took out and added some stuff (namely superuser, an ereader app, etc.) and flashed in the recovery. My tablet is then sent into a bootloop and it wont work until I wipe the device via recovery and non of the stuff I added is integrated. The link provided to the site directly links you to the place where you download the firmware, for those that want to take a crack at looking at the rom, have fun. Its not in some funny file format like a cramfs or ext3 system image, its just in a ".tgz" (fancy zip file,use7zip)and insidethatisa ".tar" file(again justanotherfancyform of a zip file, use 7zip also).
For the sake of time I am not going to go too deep into the directories of the system folders, as anyone who has taken a crack at deving for android knows whats insideof them. Hopethatdoesn't look like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, and likeI said if you want to take a crack at it, just download the firmware from the website linked above. I also want to know (from anyone with experience in this like dochoppy or finlessbob) can I convert something to expand the apps space like you all did for the Nextbook Premium 7, because 523mb of space is cool and all, but (hating to sound oh so greedy) I want MORE lol, so if there is a possibility for that I would love some assistance. And one last thing, how do I change the splash image for it, there is no ".rle" file like there was for the nextbook, so help would be appreciated for that also.
Thanks, Ognimnella

I have a Cruz T410, and I hear they are releasing a new line with the exact same hardware but ICS. I'm pretty good at this modding stuff, but a novice in ROM or kernel cooking, so I will be little to no help most likely. I figure that if we can extract the ROM from the new one and modify it to update our T4XXs.
I have a friend who works retail that should have one I can play with soon, so if you know how I might extract it and get it to you to mod lemme know.
As for what I've done successfully to my Cruz is:
Full Root via Gingerbreak
LCD Density to 140
Removed Status Bar (Root Explorer to remove from system folder after titanium back up)
Remapped buttons, Vol up = Menu, Vol down = Back, Power = End
I used blade buddy to change end behavior to home then screen off so holding it down still brings the shutdown menu up as normal. Made a "Sound" shortcut on homepage.
ADW EX with ICS theme
Android PRO widgets with Lucid theme.
Latest Modded Google Play
(Was tricky but got it!)
Wave Launcher
(Awesome WebOS like gesture bar of shortcuts, with sound and screen off shortcut.)
SwiftKey Keyboard
(Best for tablets!)
Every Emulator Running Smooth
System Tuner
(Adjust SD Cache to 3 or 6MB, it gives a big performance boost. Also change the auto kill to aggressive, and clean cache)
All GAPPS (Lots of trial and error to get newest possible versions of everything)
Dolphin HD ofcourse
Fully functional remote desktop (Awesome without the ugly taskbar!)
Removed Bloatware
Once again, I'm noobish, but I make much better tablets jealous.
I got the tablet as a gift and really wish it was more popular because of its potential. I'm poor so this is going to be my tab until it dies.
I don't post much and I feel kind of silly, but it feels like there isn't much good information out there for how to make it cool. I'll explain how I did everything in detail for those who ask. And would love suggestions.
Also!
I have an adapter for USB in, is it possible to add a host controller for keyboards or gamepads?
Thanks in advance..
Well damn ur a hell of a let further than I am, I rooted it, and installed hcl launcher to give me a honeycomb feel. I modified the build prop to view me as a nexus s tablet and installed the play store too, took a lot of combination experiments but I have a zip with the needed files to install. I think rather than REMOVE the status bar, I just wanna move it to the bottom of the screen. I have Nova 3 and modern combat 2 black Pegasus installed, but the calibration is misaligned due to the persist ant and horribly placed status bar. If I could find the place in the code where I can move the status bar to the bottom of the screen rather than the top, this alone would make the thing a keeper.
Oh and Google host controller for android and report back whether or not we have USB hosting, if we do, I smell a game pad purchase in the future

Right on, we are on the same page with the taskbar. I have tried installing the default gingerbnread statusbar to make it where it can hide at least, but it still showed up as the crummy stock bar even after removing the SystemUI.APK from System folder. Another option:
Copy systemUI.APK to your SD. Remove it from system folder, uninstall, re install.
This makes it show up in services so you can disable it when you want to play games or watch videos.
I think you can do this with Titanium by converting it to a user app aswell.
I too have a back up of all the latest GAPPS and my modded bulid.prop if anyone needs em.
I'll keep working on it, glad I'm no longer alone, lol.

I've been using the Themer beta since the actual limited beta release. For the past 2 weeks I've been running into an issue, and was wondering if anyone else has had the problem. Just to start off, I'm running a Samsung Note 2, rooted on official firmware. Lately whenever I add a theme to export from the themer friendly themes from mycolorscreen.com and load it up, it would crash my phone and causes a weird boot loop. It would restart my phone and go through all the boot screens, 10-15 seconds in to loading up themer it restarts again and goes through the same cycle. The only way for me to get out of this is to quickly go into settings and reset the homescreen to another launcher. Every theme from the actual themer app runs fine, and all of my personally made themes load fine as well. I have deleted the themer app and reinstalled it and I'm still running into the same issue. I've been sending all the crash reports. The last 2 themes I downloaded were RND UX and Flards 2 from mycolorscreen.com. They would load up for about 20 seconds and then my phone would crash and go through the boot loop.
Anyone have any solutions or insight into this problem? I consider myself pretty tech savy, and I'm comfortable getting my hands dirty using Zooper and UCCW, so I know

Hi there,
Unfortunately because your device is rooted, there's not much we can do on our side, as we test Themer on non-rooted devices. Sorry about that.
So you think it might be the root access that is causing the issues? That's unfortunate, I need the root access so I can use my external SD to do the heavy lifting for my storage (stupid Samsung using almost 5gb of my 16gb for their shovelware apps...) Any chance themer will be optimized for rooted devices next, since a lot of people with androids like to load alternative ROMs. I'm willing to be a guinea pig. I guess I'm already a guinea pig now since I'm using the beta. But in the mean time it's back to lighting launcher for me.

Are you sure your resolution matches the Themer .zip file? We've now implemented a new sorting feature whereby you can filter the themes according to your phone's resolution. Any theme that doesn't meet your resolution won't work, and might be causing this issue, else the uploader might have made an error.

Amazing yes I did check. Most of the themes I have been exporting have been the same resolution on my phone. One of the themes (ultra-minimal 3, sorry I can't post links since I have posted a lot yet.) the author said it was designed on a Note 2, that one just recently crashed my phone and caused a bootloop. I do a lot of theme changing, especially when I working on my own theme. Could it be that. Maybe I'm just bogging the system down. When I'm working on my theme, I save, export back, work on it, save, repeat... alot. (Unless that problem has been fixed) I'm paranoid I would lose my progress.
btw, thanks for your replies.

It might also be an internal bug within Themer. Try this:
-Uninstall Themer
-Delete the /MyColorscreen folder make sure your backup any of your work if you have any in this folder
-Delete the /android/data/com.mycolorscreen.themer folder.
-Reinstall Themer.
Then try again and see if the problem resolves itself, if not let us know.

It's been 2 days since I did what you told me, and no crashing, and no bootloops. It could also be a coincidence, but there was an update for themer yesterday. Either way, it looks like I'm finally in the clear. Thank you very much.
Are you?
Is the resolution of the theme is meeting your device resolution.

That's great to hear kaleonfire! If it happens again to you (or someone you know) then that method usually is the best, but updating also doesn't hurt.
Have a great day!
Interesting
#1 Thank you to all devs contributing to modifications for this phone.
I've tested most every Rom, and there's things I like and dislike about each one. So all the good has been thrown together in this legendary thing, an anthology of sorts.
A breath of fresh air, comin atcha.
If this is your first Rom flash, please don't use this, there's a little work into getting it going, but I'll go through it in detail.
Thanks to
xdakmanx- base Rom
jcfunk- kernel
ModdingMyMind- help
pacattack- themes/skins
xteknikal- systemUI/themes
team d3rp- base framework n resources
nega team- sparking my interest, framework
zeppelinrox- V6 Supercharger
idcrisis/fivefour- CrossBreeder
rizal lovins- Sony ports
I have 'forgotten' to thank many folks here, I've used the work of many, will gladly add names or remove work. With such an old device, I hope no one minds. I do not accept donations. I will not profit from other's work.
Features
No dullness- colorful
Many dark themed apps(with a base Rom named Midnightrom, it should be dark, right?)- stock based 4.0.3ics
5MB MMS
Call Recording
Working Weather Sounds
Several major languages added to Settings
Beats/Viper/Bravia,Xloud audio drivers
V6 Supercharger
CrossBreeder tuned for 3vo(w/ working init.d)
Dual Turbo Swap
All logging disabled
Security measures apps included
Modified flash player
Books, games, sounds, and wallpapers
270 degree rotation, turn it upside down
A whole whole bunch more
What's wrong
-White(ish) text on white in a couple menus
-As with many custom roms, this comes with Nova Launcher. Note- it's nice to have a weather and clock widget. I've included Android Weather in the zip, but it gets deleted with updater script in recovery, because it acts like a 'rogue' app and cpu will run full blast until it's deleted. But, it won't do that if you copy/paste it to /system/app manually. Or, if you'd like Sense, that's included too, more on that later.
How to
-Flash the base Rom
-Let boot, reboot into recovery
-Dirty Flash the Bada$$ Rom right over it
-Boot, WAIT for Reader to import books, then open SuperSU, install binary normally.
-Open SManager, grant su, open settings, Advanced, Configuration, Home Directory- /system/bin. Then navigate to /system/etc. Run Zsysctl.sh as su on boot. Navigate to /system/etc/init.d. Run these as su on boot: 08oomtweaks, 92vac, 99buttered, MoreIOTweaks, sqliteDbs, and zzzz. Before running zzzsqliteDbs, make sure you've had an internet connection so that you have a gservices.db. Run it on boot also.
Sense
If you want Sense Launcher, go into Titanium Backup, Backup/Restore, scroll to bottom and restore Htc Sense(app only, restore data later if you want). Then flash Sense zip provided.
Downloads
I might add Sprint stuff later

-FYI, starting Kernel Tuner app will mount /sys/kernel/debug
-If ya use Android Firewall, media server needs internet for YouTube to work. And when using DroidVpn, the kernel needs internet perm's along with 'all apps running as root'
-If using Sense, whichever apps are put in dock will be on the lockscreen. With Nova launcher, Lockscreen Shortcuts app is used to set them.
-If having tether or 3g problems, go into CrossBreeder app and disable Bypass ISP. If getting network error with YouTube, disable dnsmasq.
-Quietly Brilliant ringtone is in tribute to Negalite
-Let me know if you don't like the battery icons, and I'll pm ya a fix
-Navigation bar can be activated in ReliveSOL module, double tap status bar to sleep and long press back to kill applications are also working with that
Glad to see your rom, congrats on getting it together
Thanks for everything @jcfunk, my brother

For users downloading Rom before Jan. 16, please flash this to fix Beats Audio and ringtones/notifications. My apologies
https://db.tt/bIhWWCwq
And if the friggin notification sounds still won't work, go into es file explorer, long press on the sound in the /sdcard/media/audio folder, sub menu appears, hit 'more', press 'compress'. Delete original sound. Then long press on the zip file that it makes, press 'more' again, press 'extract', hit 'current path', delete the zip, and now the sound will show in sound picker. When flashed to sd, the id3 tags are screwed up for some reason....? This generic method creates them.
Edit, also I rebuilt the kernel wrong, it was only at 1.35GHz max, and no gpu oc, here is the fix- https://db.tt/vITkrXLP

I have a new test kernel, if you can test. That would be great.

Any work on adding Sprint?
hi all, this is my thread from a long time ago, so if you've subscribed, you're in luck! since the coromavirus hit, and even longer, I've been working on putting together the ultimate package for adblocking, tracker crushing, just, a pure web experience where your device isn't downloading garbage that eats up data, especially useful for 4g/5g connections!
Way back in 2013 I rooted my first device, the Evo 3D. then ensued an almost compulsive urge to use my devices the way I want, from theming (I love dark themed apps) to adblocking. I haven't found an allin-one solution for my adblocking, etc. needs, and so I imagine there's others out there looking for the same. The ultimate one stop shop for android needs. I've found it thru a little app called Adguard. An extremely powerful app, with options to run extensions that further the android experience. Such as video downloaders, which may be considered warez here on XDA. YT dl'ers, vimeo, fb, p*rn, e.g.
Also offered is theming options to websites. One important one you'll find is filterlists.com. I've included filter lists in this package that I've found useful and helpful. I could go on and on about all the features, I'll stick to a select few I'm most excited about. so when you install this, check out how I took a modification, a filter, called DarkFilterLists, n made it better, @ www.filterlists.com/lists Check out reddit n imgur n xda n pinterest n facebook n twitter n YouTube n Google n music streaming sites n video streaming sites and the list goes on. like I said, it's a much cleaner browsing experience! PLEASE! Test my work, n it's not all on me, I've found so much help online plus with tampermonkey's modules this is a kickass mod. but the down side is that it costs. U get 2 weeks free n after that u can pay monthly, yearly, or like $70 last time I checked for a lifetime.
I need help with this, because I can't host it from Dropbox because once it catches on, they would suspend my account for so many downloads, same with the other sites. will someone please help me with this. I'm thinking about asking Adguard because this thing is goina make them $$$$!!!!
Now for the instructions or directions on how to install this. Adguard is in the Play Store. 2 weeks fully featured, during this period, you'll notice a bulge or wetness in your undies. don't worry, it's common. this is a judgement free zone here. so install, go to settings-
General-Import settings.json I supply here. Then settings- Content Blocking- user rules- import adguard_cb_user_filter...then go into your wifi settings and type in the settings in the pics included with my zip file you download.
And you're all set, ENJOY!! Don't thank me for this, thank others involved responsible for Adguard
I will host it from my dropbox til I get help-
https://www.dropbox.com/s/v67i2hrxqgd2rum/ZBadassAdguard3.zip?dl=0
Or try this- https://db.tt/BlQOuyKQGA
you can flash it in recovery, but I don't see the point
please share this with your closest friend(s)

I'll do what I can for ya, I don't understand what happened exactly. You S-off'd n it started bootlooping, is that it? Do you have s-off, if so, flash the eng. H-boot, I never came across a rom it wouldn't boot. Have you tried restoring a backup, I'm familiar with twrp and I can't remember what the touch recovery was called. It's been a long time since I've had this device. I'll check back here, gimme more info on what's going on
