Supernova in comparison to Phoenix 4.5 - Captivate General

I'm currently on Phoenix 4.5 and thinking about flashing to Supernova.
Anyone care to comment on their comparison between Phoenix 4.5 and Supernova?

I have used Phoenix 4.5, Firefly 2.1, and now SuperNova 2.02 and I can honestly say (for myself at least) that SuperNova 2.02 seems to be my choice out of all three. For me the boot time is much quicker than the other two although all three ROMs are awesome. The smoothness and snappiness of the two ROMs are still much there in SuperNova but it depends on your preference. Personally my strong points for SuperNova are the color scheme, fast boot time, and battery life (which I get slightly better than Phoenix 4.5 and Firefly 2.1)

Any comparison on gps between Phoenix and SuperNova? Especially while driving?

Actually I have not been able to test the GPS while driving yet mainly because I haven't had a chance to. The GPS itself locks in about 9 satellites within about 10-15 seconds which is nice but I don't know if it constantly locks while driving. When I do try it I will let you guys know. So far this ROM kicks major ass.

Running Firefly myself and thinking of trying Phoenix or Supernova.. leaning towards Supernova for the JS3 experience. Any other observations are appreciated.

I ran 4.5 for a while and flashed to SN last night. Haven't had much time to test out the gps but LBS mode gives me locks in about 10-15, relatively the same as phoenix for me.
I personally love the theme coloring as well.

I run phx 4.5, I flashed to SN and I liked alot of the enhancements made, but the purple and icons just weren't my cup of tea. I liked the wp7 keyboard and look of the menu background. But just a personal preferences I like the green on black. So I flashed back. But later I might flash back. Adam and company put work into their ROM's! They do good!

You can flash VA Green V11 theme onto SuperNova and it'll have your green on black theme.

Yeah I've looked into that, but (I know it sounds crazy) I don't like the icons on that theme. Like with the notification drop down, settings, and advanceded power menu. But yeah haha

I know what your talking about. I like the Firefly notification power buttons and wish it was used on VA Green. Lol, the colors are right but the details aren't as we wished.

launcher pro = custom icons custom docks, can be set to froyo or ginger look
any color any icon ect... look in my android folder

What would you guys like Jonnybueno to theme next?

Many of you have been very generous, so I'd like to get some input on what you guys want me to work on next...
I'm not really to excited about porting other peoples work... but if you guys really want something, i can.
To-Do
CM6 Red Theme - framework
-Themed apps, stock icons​-Themed apps, themed icons​
Make more red sense icons
sense sucks(except for some of the widgets) so dont worry about doing anything w/ sense...as much red as we can get for cm6 would be great...i would try to do some stuff w/ the status bar like changing the 3g/wifi icons, the time, also i like that battery icon that was on your other red customization (the circular red one)...just a few suggestions, i will try to think of some more...thanks dude, your stuff is badass!
I'd like to see red or maybe even yellow for the sky raider rom. I actually like sense just don't like how the launcher looks on it. Anything would be appreciated though. Thanks for the themes and keep up the good work

You Rock!
jb you are theming everything. I want to thank you for everything. What about putting together a sense 2.2 theme (red)?

I'm kinda leaning toward theming that Rom... 2.2 with sense is pretty nice, plus I don't see issues with cm6 getting fixed anytime soon. Im so torn between the two roms, cm has trackball wake and customization for long pressing the home button but the new 2.2 rom has internal storage and may have a working camera soon.
I should've put a little more thought into that poll... opinions anyone?
I think you should work on the most functional roms first. That way your time won't go to waste, you'd be theming a Rom that no ones going to be using. Thinking you should really go with sky raider for now.
And I agree about the launcher on sense its the main reason I don't use sense ui. Wait till a real stable cm 6 comes out then make a bada** theme for it.. ill get your kid some nice power rangers if u do!
Thanks for your hard work, Great themes!
Definitely Blue/Red for CM 6.
I think as the bugs are worked out over the next couple (few?) weeks, a lot of people will be moving over to Cyanogen.
Also, thanks for your hard work.
DarchDroid
I would love a DarchDroid like theme, black/silver.
How about a pink or purple theme, similar to your red/blue themes?
My room?
I'll be getting CM6 as soon as the bugs are worked out and it would be great to have a red theme for that.
+1 to red CM6...Cyanogenmod's gonna be HOTTT!! Verizon made the highlights red, so its only fitting...Dark status bar with a transparent window!
Sorry for my absence, I am finally feeling healthy. Looks like it's gonna be red for CM-6. I'm starting a to-do list on the op so i can prioritize, so if you want any of those custom icons please remind me...
I recall that someone asked about handcent and pandora...
Also, I need three testers who can thoroughly test these cm themes... I need people who have great attention to detail and a lot of time. PM me if you can meet those qualifications.
Cm red theme is coming along nicely....

What are the chances you could package a red themed NexusMod live wallpaper with your red theme? In particular the wallpaper from the droid. That would be sick, and I can't find the damn wallpaper anyway.
Yeah id like neural network too. Or maybe ask koush to port it? He's the one that got the nexus wallpaper working on the Droid months ago, it never loaded until he came along.
My girlfriend would freak if you could make an all purple theme and I told her I would but it wouldn't get done until the next major android update comes out. She saw this thread and begged me to post to ask you. Thanks.

Chances are slim, unless you can get me the source code for it... then i may be able to hack it, but that would take me forever since i have no skills
Of course, if you use CM roms nexus mod is included.

Nexus Live Wallpaper

So I know there are a bunch of Nexus Live Wallpapers out there and i have tried a few, bu i absolutely love the one in CM6. So here's the question(s):
A) Has anyone pulled the Nexus Live Wallpaper from the CM6 build at all yet, and if so can you either send it to me or post a link.
Or​
B) Can someone instruct me on how to pull it out of CM6 myself so i don't have to bother anyone for it
just use cm6. it is basically complete, minus camcorder. its great.

While i agree that it is great, it is vastly slower than skyraider, specifically noted when opening the launcher for your programs. So until it's speed can match skyraider, i want to continue with it.
Hence why i want to pull the wallpaper from it. I would love to come back to CM6 but it's just so noticeably slower than skyraider.
Go to the market and buy
Nexus Revamped Pro
Its only $1 I believe and is very customizable. You can change background to custom image or solid color, they have several variants of the nexus pyramid background, you can customize the color of the dots, up too 4 colors including blacks, whites, and grays. You can also change physics and other things too, such as speed, tail length, etc. They have a free version of it too so you can try before you buy, its just missing a few features. Its just good to support the dev and its only $1.
I dont know what the CM6 one looks like, but if you wanted you could get the app I mentioned above and do a custom background. Pull the livewallpapers.apk from CM6, then rename it to zip, extract it, then go to the res folder and find the background image and use it as a custom image with the app I mentioned.
Skyraider has the Nexus live wallpaper. Only difference is its not just blue, its multiple colors.

What phone or rom do you want the theme for ? .
I have a black theme with a blue that is a little darker than the CM blue, but it sounds kind of close to what you are asking. I haven't been able to update it for EVO yet to cm7rc2, but will do so when I get back home and have a better internet connection.

You can download it from your phone, and it'd go to the downloads folder or the sdcard, but probably faster to download on pc, then transfer to your phone.
Mikes 1.0 has some blue in it or alot, depends on how you look at life ; )

ok first of all...i love this site, i get so many answers...QUICK. so thank u for that. i am actually tethering my 3g to my computer right now...im downloading it on both comp and phone. i figured out i had to download safari and it downloaded just fine. for some reason i got the error 404 on IE and google chrome. odd. whichever finishes first, im on it. cannot wait to try it. heard its great.
anyway.. i did download a few of the themes for kings, how would i go about flashing it. do i just flash the kings rom and then get back into recovery and hit upload file from zip, locate the file and hit ok?
i really like the customization of cm7 but kings is luring me in with its clean look. i hope the battery is as good.
which rom is everyone using, and how is ur battery
u know what.. i found a cyan theme for kings unleashed. im surprised, its all on the actual rom page. you were right, he did have themes mixed in. there are actually a few cyan themes for different roms. what themes are you guys using,,,can u show me some screen shots for ideas.
are you refering to miksfroyo rom?
Correct, you flash a kernel like a rom, wipe dalvik and cache and flash
Try miui with the honey comb theme its pretty cool.

And I'm using CM7 honeybread....I can show a screenie if you want still.
Cyanogen 7 with Mattedblues is about the most attractive theme I've ever used. I dunno what constitutes a "girls'" theme but I would imagine that if you like blue, it is the best one out there and you can put whatever wallpaper suits you.
Can I see your screen shot with honeybread?! I finally installed kings...I love it but I can't use the lock screen settings. Anyone know why? It let's me customize the lock screen but doesn't actually install...same thing happens with vaelpak! I am sick of the slide down to unlock...to plain.
Yeah I guess ur right..hard to understand what constitutes as a girl theme...especially when I hate PINK. I should have said need a CYAN blue theme that's highly customizable l..has 4g working...gives lots of room on internal storage...great battery life...no fc ..not concern with how fast the phone can go...just my battery.. I have a 2yr old with disabilities and im always stuck without a phone unless I carry my charger and plug it in wherever I go
..thars not always an option for me. Umm im not picky for the most part but those are my must haves

Looking for Dragon theme.

I've pretty much got everything the way I like it. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a good dragon theme. I use mostly red, black, and white on my phone. So I would like something that doesn't have too many crazy colors. The main thing that I haven't touched is the lockscreen so if anyone knows where I can find just that, that works too.
Running Senseless revolution 2.0 with ADWLauncherEX. With REDemptive 2.2.8.

There are a couple of people who have done dragon themes (Inc and EVO).

I really would love to try and work on my own theme. Unfortunately I only have my Wife's laptop to work with right now. And once April comes around, I will be a full time student. Really the only thing i am looking for is to change the tabs on the lock screen for unlock and vibrate/sound.

I love this theme! Great work again Bill. Here's a screenshot of it in action(with a different wp). I would like to request a different look for the vibrate/silent icon, it looks out of place.
you're right..it does.. guess i missed one. i'll run back through it again and make a quick update. Nice looking out. And glad you like it.
Great work as always Bill, looks fantastic. Thanks for all you do!
Not trying to be ocd or anything, but I noticed on the clock/weather widget the top of some letters for day/month are cut off. Not a big deal to me, just thought you should know. Thanks again for your great work.
That one I did catch, but I like the look of the clock with the larger panels more than I do the day and month. On another note, after tip toeing through the theme, several things caught my eye that I thought could be better..so, putting something new out in just a little bit..sometimEd you have to step away from it..after looking at thousands of graphics, you trend to miss things.

Okay gang, made a few adjustments to the theme, so the OP link has been updated with the new version. The only changes were cosmetic. I fixed a few things and decided that I had used the same buttons on the last 2 themes, so I changed them and the pop up windows a bit. And, reluctantly, adjusted the clock panels. A few other minor things were altered as well. Anyhoo, I hope you like it. And thank you.
Quiet today..can I assume that everything is working well, and everyone is happy with the theme?
Everything's working perfect for me. Its my favorite do far. Thanks for all the hard work.

Here are a few test splash screens - let me know if you like these or want something different.
NST_American_Metal_-_PC36IMG.zip
NST_American_Metal_-_Masika_-_PC36IMG.zip
NST_American_Metal_-_Challenger_-_PC36IMG.zip
To use these splash screens:
1.) download to root of your sd card,
2.) change name to "PC36IMG" (without the quotes),
3.) boot into boot loader (turn off, volume down + power)
4.) The phone should recognize the zip and ask if you want to update
5.) select up to apply.​

Is anyone else having issues with the notification pull down? Mine will not work most of the time. It was fine for the first day, then it just stopped working. I also had a few twitches where the clock app would open up as if I touched the widget, the phone screen had not been touched for several minutes before it happened. I currently run OTA rls5 w/chopsuey, a2sd and at that time V6. I have rebooted, without luck, then used GW's wipeall, reflashed fresh downloads of rls5/chopsuey/a2sd and American Metal. Still can't pull down the notification bar. I can access by using menu/notifications, but that's it. I have not added any apps or changed anything since flashing this theme, and came from using CIWYW.
Wow...no I've never had that issue...but I will flash back to stock and try to recreate it to see if I can find the issue. Sorry that's happening to you.
Don't be sorry, I still love this theme. The best way I can explain it is, its like the touchscreen feature doesn't work, but only in the notification bar, the rest of my homescreen works fine. Thanks for looking into it, like I said, it didn't start right away, took about 24 hours for first problem to show up. Not even sure its the theme, that's why I reflashed everything just in case.
dude this is awsome, been using it since the relase no prb what so ever... great work.
can't wait to see what you cook up next... and your splash screens are awsome aswell
thanks for the great work.
