Not sure if it is just mine, however the reasonwhy the GVoice is listedthat way because on mine it tries to set up Gmail and when skip is hit it freezes. It will allow you to text, however only through contacts and will not let you read them for some reason.
Been looking into it all night.

Sounds good im going to donate on 15th to em this makes it so easy to theme I love it I hope gets fixed
Sounds cool, can't wait till I can give it a try during class tonight!
i have been talking to him, however when you theme does it make you sign into your account again when you go to the market or is this just me?
I went to extract the file and it notified me that there are duplicate files, name wise, in the \New folder\RedAndBlue\3g\stock area both labeled framework-res.apk. How exactly you got it to name two files the exact same i dont know, but this may be an issue that is causing troubles that some are having with the particular theme
Hmm found a bug I believe. In the sounds area when I click Get Installed Sounds it starts CMD , starts the daemon wityhout really doing anything aparant. If you try to click it again I get an error saying "Error; The same variable cannot be used for more than one control. The current thread will exit. Specifically vDevSounds Line#162: GUI,Add,ListBox, x600, y113, w260, h500 vDevSounds, %formated%"
Also the application is not work AT ALL for me. I have my Xoom in debug mode but whenever I click a button in pimp it flashes a few CMD windows real fast then sits there. I reboot and nothing has changed.

Hmmmmm, thievish odd. The siund thing is the bug I found too but was fixed with the update to the program.
Try deleting it and really downloading the program.
just thought i would post this up in case anyone doesnt know....
Got my SGS2 this morning... and instead of connecting to the games hub and getting some games from there... i just opened my internet browser on the phone and put gameloft in the search box...
It took me to a gameloft wap site where it recognised my phone and offerd around 10 games for a quid each..
So far i grabbed Sparta , spiderman mayhem, dungeon hunter , modern combat 2 black pegasus,
Had to get lets golf 2 though through the game hub as that wasnt listed... paid £3 for that :0(
hope this saves a few quid for someone
yes got some too lol nice ty mate
great find!
Could someone post a link? Wap.gameloft.com doesn't work for me. Opens some desktop site.
n1 ordered 3 anymore good ones
Good find I got Modern Combat 2 but when i try and play it i get a force close message? Any one else got this? Any ideas why?
could not pay with paypal... anyone paid via PP?
LE: Refreshed and works now! Bought modern combat 2 as well, will see if it works.

OK this is rather annoying!!!
For those who can't get Modern Combat 2 to work.. Try holding the Home button and selecting the game from the pop up window...
Its the only way the game seems to work for me..!! If I select it from anywhere else including home screen,, then I get 'force close'..
WTF!
Nice find mate.. Thanks a lot..

Yeah I only got the game because it was only £1...
but you should ask for a refund if the game does not work for you at all.. drop Gameloft an email.. they will get back to you.
hey don't say it's garbage, gameloft games are the best out there for android (in terms of graphics), so yes, they should work, I have 8 Gameloft Games on mine, all working. I don't know, reboot and try again. Or maybe reinstall, I don't know.
If still doesnt work, ask for a refund. Cheers
Thanks for the heads up Just got an S2 and wanted golf and uno, with the saving I got a few others as well. Nice find, again thx

Pulled my new galaxy s 2 out of my pocket and noticed a thin horizontal white line about 1 inch from the top of the screen, Only on the lock screen. I changed lock screen background and reset the phone but it s still there in the same location (edge to edge). There is no physical damage to the screen and the line is not visible any other time (home screen, pictures, games all fine so far). Anyone else seeing this? Screen shots soon. Maybe normal and i never noticed it?

My vibrant did that after I dropped it. :-( the glass cracked and broke the digitalizer.

Can anyone confirm that they do not have a horizontal line under the clock on the stock lock screen like the picture attached?. (not my lock screen btw) after looking around on google it seems this may be normal, but it's hard to find pictures of just the lock screen for the stock rom...thanks for the replies...Not sure how i missed it if it is normal...

not normal. Seems like stuck pixel. Since its an led screen each pixel is an led basically. I would return it if you could if not try to run a test. you can find one from the market just dont remember the name.

noooo. he took a screenshot...that means that a picture of the image being sent to screen for display to the user. Screenshots do not show hardware defects. I believe this to be a bug in the system. I would odin back to stock and post back with results. Not factory reset...odin
edit: if it IS a hardware defect, then it is probably the graphics chip that renders the image that is going bad...not the actual screen
Picture i posted is not my screenshot, gound that with google and added the arrow...i can confirm the line is not visible on any other screen just lock..i really just dont recall seeing it before. Used a screen test app and all screens look ok to me...

then it is most probably just a bug. Are you updated to latest Kl1 firmware? If not, you can update through odin without losing your data. If you are on tha latest firmware and dont want to go through the hassle of odining stock again and setting up everything again then i would just not worry about it as its only on the lock screen
Screen
I do believe that's a design element. I have the exact same thing on the lock screen and I have a brand new phone made January 20th.
I had that when i updated to kl1 or when i used one of the first versions of juggernaut. Just do a fresh install or odin/factory reset from phone.

Yes that's normal. Its suppose to be there. Ive gone through 3 sgs2 and always set up a screen lock and have always noticed it on all 3 phones. Its not a hardware or software issue, its part of the design element for the lockscreen as I'mDan2 also mentioned.

Yes, it's definitely a graphic design element. Most telling is that the same line on my phone, running GingerSnap, is a reddish-orange color - in accordance with the rest of the reddish-orange theme for that ROM. Lol

Yep im running jugs with ics theme so that line is blue. I only see it on pattern lock screen and custom jugs lock screen. It not on stock samsung lock screen
So I downloaded a lock screen app to double tap my screen to put the phone to sleep. It puts the phone to sleep for a sec and then the phone wakes back up.
Is there a setting I need to change?? I've tried a few and they all act the same.

it's just how the .apks like these have been working since like sense 4.1
it works about 9/10 times from my experience.
Andy, it was working on ur ROM but then I flashed another and its not.

yea like I said those .apks have been flaky on newer Android systems.
I personally stopped using them and have been finding alternate methods,
such as this for Samsung.
With time I will be trying to see if this lock button works on HTC as it does Samsung seen here (the lock button) - presss to act as power button, long press to act as power button long press.
Very cool actually, and you get used to pulling down the status bar to turn phone off.

Works really well and best part it's quite simple to add.
Will be testing today to see if it works.
If so, you can send me your SystemUI.apk and I'll hook you up with it,
unless you use my ROM in which case I'll have a patch made for it as it'll be included into the next release.

I actually flashed back to your ROM cause I really missed that feature. I'll be looking forward to the next release!! Can't wait cause the current version is running better than most Roms I've used. Even on other phones!!!

Sorry, with all these phones I get confused who uses which of my ROMs on what phone.
So yea you know how that button works, I think it would look great to the left of the clear all button in header.

Yeah but Andromeda is an add-on to make substratum work. I have to stay plugged into my comp for it to work though. Once I set theme I'm good to go though.

Well I guess having to plug in to set the theme isnt so bad...
I ran into this problem yesterday and all I did was just ran the Andromeda script two times in a row and waited about 10 seconds and it was fine. Both Substratum and Andromeda have been updated since then so it may have just been a bug. The substratum app works great although there are some themes that apparently still require root to use (status bar changes like moving the clock to center). Over all im very happy with the results. Using Sai's Oreo black/teal theme and love it. Big thanks to those who made this possible
Yeah, it's still on the XDA Portal front page.
Is this just for unrooted? Substratum works fine rooted

yeah, this is for unrooted devices.
Yeah been using it since release, works like a dream for me. Don't have to stay plugged in myself either, only a reboot requires a re-run of the andromeda desktop client.
I started using it today but having the same issue with it only working while plugged to the PC. I tried it at least 5-6 times and ran it back to back, still goes to not authorized once I unplugged. But I like the theme so far and everything seems ok for now after I rebooted.

I've been trying it out.
Which black theme hasn't the fewest unintended UI issues? Black themes are nice, but it bugs me when I get white on white text, or my Keep note colors are messed up. I haven't yet tried Swift Black as everyone seems to love it, but I want one that just works. I don't have a ton of time for experimentation.
I'm also not interested in changing the look too much outside of coloring, like Substratum DAN does with all it's fonts and ugly (imo) color themes.
Swift black is the best black theme I found so far. Pitch black seems to be actively worked on but Google now home had black on black issue. Only issue with Swift black was inbox shows a white background once opening an email but it might not be the app's fault.
