What are you looking to do I managed to do a number of things to my odex rom, mainly circle bat mod, but in the process I also changed the notification screen and some of the icons

did you manage to integrate PCW into the notification?

No, I really like that and I might explore that next, although I am hoping the next release of warm z will be my new rom.

Have you tried this:

It may boot loop, but staying with odex that is what we get, the only thing I found that bootloops every time is removing clock, but that changes the servicies.jar so I would suspect this might boot loop, but that is why there is nandroid, unfortunatly I am oncall this week so my rule is not to fool around with my phone until I am off call
Let me know if you try it

I'm having an issue with Mine as well. It keeps telling me that the theme is missing assets for my device's screen size. I'm not sure why.....
HTC Evo
CM7.0.3.1

I was having similar issues, until I read on the site that clockwork recovery is the default. Try that recovery when flashing.

Did that fix it? I've been trying to change the battery indicator 5 different times now, and have had compiling errors. I've tried ClockworkMod and Ra. Ugh...

I have tried many of the leaked gingerbreads just to find that this or that doesn't work. The best that I have found for battery life and everything works is this rom.

All the info you need "should" be in the OP for the ROM. For instance SRF 1.2 requires you to also flash a kernel of your choice. Most ROMs are EXT4 these days but there are a few RFS ROMs out there. And almost all include a kernel. So if you want to try someone's recommended ROM for battery life, just remember to run several backups first, a nand and something like Titanium Backup.

thanks ..im just bein a litttle more cautious cause its not my phone and i dony want to get yelled at if i mess it up

I liked simply aosp, it was a good ROM. I ran the revolted kernel with it and got good battery life and performance. if u did triple wipes in cwm like u were supposed to, then it would be like starting a new ROM with nothing on it. Are u sure u flashed it right?
Edit: flashing roms on the epic is very similar to flashing them on the evo, minus the cool amon-ra recovery

When modding someone else's phone that it the kind of ROM you want. The one that makes some new graphics and keeps everything else the same. What launcher is on her phone? If it is still Touchwiz, get her to start using another launcher since a lot of ROMs remove twlauncher as bloat. I got ADW for my GF and I use Zeam. It will save you a homescreen nightmare.

well, as long as it works, then you're good to go. i always found that flashing without wiping data or restoring data from a previous flash has a tendency to cause issues with the rom later on. if u do have any problems, u may have to go back into cwm and wipe data as well as the cache and dalvik (3x/ea) then reflash your rom. but again, if it ain't broke... also, kenny said something about the touchwiz launcher... that launcher is included in the simply aosp rom under the "simply settings" app, as are the gingerbread launcher and the froyo launcher. i like touchwiz ok, i prefer the gingerbread launcher over that tho.

Help, Screen view problem!!

Ok, I really don't know what happened. I charged the phone last night, and it froze overnight( not a normal occurrence). So this morning I did a battery pull and restart. It had some issues restarting, it took 3 tries to get it to work. Then when it did start, the display was odd. Everything is very small. The display still stretches the entire screen, just very small. Almost like the phone thinks it is a tablet. I was running cm9, but I flashed back to stock FTF about a month ago. Only thing done since is root (to retrieve titanium backups) and install cwm. I know that I could probably flash again and solve problems, but I just don't want to mess with rooting and restoring again. I tried clearing cache and dalvic cache, but no luck. I have attached screenshots of the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not sure what is up with the notification bar, but it goes away when in landscape mode. (shown in pic)

Mybe u should refer this to the rom thread or read through the rom thread 1st. Coz mybe sm1 already suffers the same issues with the rom..

...That looks pretty sweet actually, garbled notification text aside XD

My big question is what could cause this even? I've nevrr even heard of this happening

No, no custom themes or any build.prop edits. But, could this be caused or fixed by a build.prop edit?

>that's your phone trolling you..

It looks like your pixel density is messed up all the small icons I remember messing around with it before and thats what it use to happen when I set it to high... I remember there is an app that can do that if ur rooted but the blurry notification don't know what could cause that

It was the lcd density. I went into rom toolbox and checked it. The slider was at the minimum. I raised it to half and rebooted. Problem solved. It also fixed the notification bar. Does anyone know the correct density to use?

Actually, the default density for the Play is 240.

[Q] Rom Toolbox Themes and Icons

I noticed I could potentially change my icons and themes from RT, but attempting that on my DX caused bad results. Has anyone tried it with this S3 rom, or any others? GS3 SGH-T999 with Root66 4.1.1 T-Mobile rom with flashed boot animation enabler and CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 (I think)
Thanks!

For most part RT Pro works. Some Status Bar icons can be changed will others dont do anything. Ive noticed that some work like a battery icon change works visually but the percentage of the battery level was always off. I know boot animation can be used but on a CM10 based rom it does not store the boot ani in the right folder but I do believe it does store it correctly on a stock rom.
Never fails to try just do a Nandroid backup. I do it all the time.

Okay, I'll give it a go after my next backup. I got the boot animations to work after flashing an enabler I found on another post. It still does the T-Mobile chime, but that's fine.
Thanks for the feedback!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Tried RT Pro icons and it didn't do anything, other than bugger my accounts up. I just restored the backup from TouchWin to get it back. I'm curious if It's just where Samsung stored the icons, since some came up not found on system, or if Samsung has them blocked, and it requires an enabler, like the custom boot animations do. I'll have to finger walk a bit more and see if there's an enabler, or another app that can change icons. I looked into UOTKitchen, I think it was called, and It's got some neat icons I'd like to use, but I'm worried about using it to mod Root66, and totally screwing up the rom, or worse, fouling my phone up.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
