Hello all! I recently rooted my Samsung Epic 4G Touch and installed PhantomHacker's Blazer ROM v3.5 and ran into some small appearance issues. It seems that everything has installed properly other than some of the visual elements (Unless qbking77 themed his ROM in his video and I missed him mentioning it). I have the proper boot and power off animations and I have the all the proper status bar icons. However, I am missing all the other things such as all of the altered icons, the pull down notification bar, and the messaging app. I've noticed it's all stock basically, other than the few things I mentioned. Any mistakes on my part? I hope there's an easy fix for this! Thanks in advance!
It's been pretty much stock themed for a while now, he's got a few themes for it, but its been a while since he's had the time to update them to the newer versions. If you check out the e4gt section, there are several compatible themes in the them section you can flash on it, or wait until PhantomHacker gets his fixed up.
So qbking77's video is of an older version of Blazer when it was themed? Thanks for the answer!

I installed the VillainROM 1.1, but I deeply miss the awesome gingerbread look I had when I installed Darky's ROM 10.1 on my old SGS 1.
I would like the:
- Gingerbread Overscroll Glow Effect
- Gingerbread Screen OFF animation
Is there any simple way to get it?

Pretty sure you can add CRT via VR Tweaks and if not there are some modded frameworks in the Dev section but have you tried Lite'ning ROM? It has all the effects you want plus a nice blue theme. I switched from VR and after coming from CM7 with Honeybread theme it is almost as good to look at!
Regards.
Thanks! I'll check that out. I also tried to cook a theme @ UOT. Still gotta wait till it's done though.
@Light'ning ROM: Well I personally really don't like the blue theme within Lite'ning ROM. I'd love to have the one from my old SGS1 (Darky 10.1).
Would it be possible to just take the framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk and that everything will be the same as Darky 10.1?
I would not use the framework from another phone. Also files would need to be resigned for VR
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I got the zip file and flashed my phone with it. Works nice. I have the overscroll efect now, and through VR Tweaks I managed to get the CRT animation. However.... it comes with a very very ugly battery icon.
Might it be possible that if I install that mod, get the latest framework and systemUI from my phone, and then cook with it, that I would have the CRT-animation in it?
Because when I install the mod, and then apply the cooked theme, the CRT animation is gone.
Btw, the CRT animation is WHITE, normally it uses a sort of screenshot. Plus that animation starts you see 1 frame of black. Any notes on both of that?
When I do what I proposed, I actually do get the CRT-animation in de cook. However... it shows many artifacts when the animation plays. I am missing something probably...? It wants to use a screenshot I think, but instead it uses an image that is white with colorful dots and artifacts.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
EDIT:
Found out I had to download Chainfire 3D and install the driver in there.
EDIT2:
No luck.. Doesn't matter how I try: first apply zip, then install driver, or other way around. Always artifacts..
So right now I'm running CM7.1 nightly, and I'm in love with it. I went to UnNamed for about 2 hours a week ago, and I couldn't deal with the lack of customization. Now, this is my first android phone in a while, so I was still learning the new apps and tricks.
Now I realize I can change the lock screen using WidgetLocker. The stock lock screen is the MAIN reason why I'm not on a stock rom such as S8. I've heard nothing but great things about Mikey, and I really want to try out his rom.
So now that I know I can change my lockscreen (from the tacky and rather stupid looking stock, to a more customizable sophisticated one) I just want to know a few things.
Flashing Themes. In CM7, it uses it's own Theme engine and I can download themes from the market and flash em via the Theme Chooser App. For these stock themes, I have to download from a dev thread on here, or is there a "database" of themes?
CM7 I can customize the status bar to display The Full carrier name, wifi signal strength in dB or bars, etc. Can I do that with stock roms? How about Battery Percentage? I read that the circle percentage app/mod didn't work with S8. Is that true?
Finally, How is the battery life in S8 compared to CM7?
Thanks for your help guys.
Hey guys,
I recently installed the Bionix-V FishmanMod 1.3.1 version and am having some issues with the Notification pulldown option. When I pull down the top bar to show the notifications, there is a lag, and it is VERY choppy as it opens. However, closing the notifications is relatively smooth. I tried turning off the animations in the Display menu, but that did not change anything.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Fixed
I installed the latest update -FISHMANMOD and the BlueMyst Theme and now everything is SMOOOOTTTHHH as butter. I love this.
Also installed the ICS fonts, and it's amazing how something that simple changes the whole UI feel.
The Bionix developers and Fishman are awesome.
that's good, I didnt have that issue and im testing it with the stock theme from the rom, you might wanna update your post title and write (fixed) at the end of it
Sorry to hijack your thread here but I'm running V1.3.1 with the ICS theme and i find it running really well, is this fishmanmod that much better than stock 131 to make it worth the hassle of resetting everything on my phone? Perhaps i should ask in that thread as well. Thanks

I personally think it is, much more stable if anything, and the slight speed increased helps too, bionix is already a great rom but fishman just makes it even better and more stable, havent had a force close yet and battery life is great
My notification pull-down is choppy sometimes (not a lot), but I don't think it's the rom as much as it is the crap running on my phone. It's nothing that worries me.
Ive got two SGS2 phones one running the stock XXLPQ rom ( which has been rooted and had CWM installed ) and the other running the Omega_ICS_v4.0_ICS_XXLPH ROM.
I'm looking for a customizable 14 statusbar toggle buttons with QuickPanel Settings app type of deal that i can install via APK or even flash through CWM if possible.
I did look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289896 but didnt know if I would have to mess around coding etc to get it to work
Im wondering if anyone has made a stand alone version of the status bar that is ion the omega version so I can install that on the Stock ROM phone along with Go Launcher EX.....I will be driving down to spain later this year and I want to use the stock phone with Sygic sat nav for stability as my main phone and the omega Rom'd phone as my media player plugged into the stereo in the car.
Just to clarify im looking for a status bar tweak / mod for the standard ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ rom n
I know for a fact that FOXHOUND 0.5 is using the customizable 14 status bar tweak.

But whether or not you can get a standalone installer for it i'm not really sure.
Looks like you might need to follow lidroid's guide if you want it on your custom rom
Im not wanting it on my custom rom I would like to have it on the standard ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ rom if possible
Ah, my apologies.
It would seem you would most certainly have to follow lidroid's guide.
Seems like a hand full of mucking around to do but if it is something you really want, then I guess it's worth it?
EDIT:
Just a quick look on the market place and I found this application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en
This could be exactly what you're after?
Hmm working phone v bricked phone.....knowing my luck ill wait until someone else who is more experienced than me is able to do something like this.
excellent thank you very much bud....ill give it a whirl when i get back home this afternoon.....top dude
I have been playing around with themes quite a bit over the past few days. Before deciding on a theme I enjoyed, I installed another theme and flashed it's add-on zip to make the package complete.
It turns out I didn't enjoy what it did, and has made some of my phone apps (messaging, email, etc) unreadable due to poor colour choices.
Now, I know that any smart person would have created a backup of their ROM before flashing anything... however it seems I am not the brightest light bulb out there. My closest backup is 3 days ago, and I would be losing quite a bit of custom work that I've done on my phone for the past two days.
Does anyone know of a stock app package that I could flash to reverse the effects of the theme? Or any way I would be able to remove the themed apps without returning my phone to it's 3 day old state?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. If this helps any, I'm on an HTC Incredible S running Codename Android ViVo 3.5.0 (JB 4.1), stock kernel.
