I did S-OFF/Root earlier today, but haven't really flashed any new ROM. Stock ROM works good for me now.
Well, the only things I ( and maybe some of you) would like to add to this ROM are the following:
Battery %
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and that dialer...
This is pulled from:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915159
Hopefully this can be done by someone.
Thanks!
All of the ROMs out now ARE just the stock ROM with the enhancements you want. I don't understand all of this "oh, I rooted, but I want to keep my ****ty stock ROM."

To make more room, I've moved the files that were here to its own post.
Please go HERE to get the mods that were listed here, and some new ones.

Hey... I didn't really want to get into moding the phone.apk app (maybe I'll look into it this weekend), but i did the battery percentage one for my own use. Attached are two versions, the Sense battery with Percentages that you requested, and the Circular Battery with percentages (See attached images).
Copy to your SD card and flash in clockwork recovery.
I tried them both on my phone, and they worked fine, but I'm not responsible if they cause problems on your phone. Make sure you nandroid before trying these, just in case.
Enjoy!
Edit: If anyone has any particular requests and you can let me know where to get the necessary image files, I can compile different versions for you. I just hate doing the image work on these mods, that's what takes longer than anything else.
Thanks to Fightspit for the circular icons and xml mods, and CM for ideas on the update script.

I applied it, and upon reboot it works, but a wifi error pops up and the whole phone locks up. I had to use recovery to restore my phone.

Usually, if it's going to lock up your phone, you'll just see a completely black screen. What do you see when "the whole phone locks up"?
Are you on the stock rom or did you install any other rom or mod prior to this?

Yeah...I had installed the Sense version (which you now removed), and the screen just turned black right before getting into the home screen. I'll try the other version now. Stock ROM

Hmmm... Can you try something for me? Install the Stock Version to revert, but clear Cache and Dalvik Cache after you flash it and before you reboot.
If you can boot up fine after this, then try flashing one of the other mods and clear Cache and Dalvik after flashing again.
Let me know what the results are.
BTW, the Sense Style version wasn't removed, when I uploaded the Stock version, XDA screwed something up and removed the Sense Version from my post, so I just re-uploaded it.
Thanks.
P.S. - I've just tried all three again to test, from a stock installation, and I've not had any issues. Hopefully we can figure out what your issues are.
Works well on mine with no problems. Had Crystal Pyramid ROM flashed on mine.

Circle battery ulitmatly ended up working for me, I flashed it cleared dalvik-cache and booted the first time I booted it got stuck on the HTC screen.

I just flashed your Sense mod to my stock ROM. The 1st time, I got black screened, flashed your stock zip, which worked. Then I followed your advice and wiped cache and dalvik after reflashing your sense battery, and it worked perfectly. Maybe you should edit your post to recommend wiping.

The only reason I didn't add it originally is because it shouldn't be necessary, but I guess it is for some, and is not for others. Oh well.

It does go black, then no response from it until I pull the battery. I will try the clear cache, and try again.

Right, once you get the black screen, you need a battery pull to restart.
Try clearing cache and try again, but I've found that once you get the black screen, the most reliable way to fix the issue is this:
1. Install the Stock Battery Mod.
2. Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache.
3. Boot up... Should boot fine.
4. Install whatever mod you want.
5. Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache.
6. Boot up... should work now.
If you just try clearing cache after you already get the black screen, then for some reason I've found that it might not fix the issue and the above steps might be necessary.
Good luck, let me know what works.
Can someone create a flashable zip to incorporate these? Animated icons!

It took a a few extra days to update this for CM 7 because I am not using a regular black notification bar like the other themes. There were a few changes to the themes for CM 7. Please remember that Project Bliss HD was based of sonnsekohn's original theme and a majority of the credit goes to him. I kind of went back to some old updates for it as well but it still looks great. I'll be making a few more changes to Metallic Glass over the next few days as well. After that, I'm out for a bit. Also, everything should be working for both Amon_RA and the newest ClockworkMOD recoveries as well
UPDATE: For anyone who flashes these themes and nothing changes follow the steps below. This is another minor problem found with the Edify scripting and recoveries.
1. reboot into recovery
2. manually mount /system and /data from recovery menu
3. flash THEME file
ChangeLog
03-29-11 --- updated Project Bliss to v2.7 for CM7 RC3 - Metallic Glass is is updated to v2.3, notification tray is now white text not black. added a few apps as well.
03-11-11 --- updated both themes for CM7 RC 2
02-26-11 --- updated Project Bliss HD to v2.5 for CM7 RC1 w/ CWMR support
02-24-11 --- updated Metallic Glass to v2.0 for CM7 RC1 w/ CWMR support

Wow dude! This looks great and I love the liquid battery look!
I dig this theme a lot. I was actually perusing themes to get some ideas for a theme I'm working on and stumbled on this. I'm betting I'll be running this for a bit. We seem to have similar taste in UI look/feel.
I know it says "for CM 6.1.1" specifically in the title of the thread, but it might be good to mention this won't work for 6.1. I got boot loops when I flashed this on top of 6.1. Flashing 6.1.1 fixed it.
I really like the animation when you unlock the screen. Very cool! I really appreciate your work on this theme, mad props brutha!

Wow, i don't know what happened but after flashing, my phone went crazy. When it booted up my apps started fc. I had even flashed a fresh 6.1.1 right before flashing this. Then I tried to restore my nand backup and same thing. WTF is that about. Really weird. In the process of going all the way to my 1st nand backup when I 1st rooted and then I will flash 6.1.1, gapps, and then this. Hopefully that will get it.

The best way to install this if you are gonna upgrade to cm6.1.1 is to do a full wipe. Flash cm6.1.1 then flash gapps. Boot the rom. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and then flash the theme.
Sometimes if you don't wipe cache/dalvik it will not work properly.
I like the theme very much but is there a way to get the circle back for the battery because the liquid one is hard to read. Thanks

That's exactly what I did. I already had 6.1.1 but I run it with another theme so I got rid of it by wiping cache and dalvik then flashing 6.1.1 over. I then booted into recovery wiped cache and dalvik again, flashed the theme and ran into problems. I just now restored a nandroid from when I first rooted the phone. Then wiped everything, data, cache, dalvik flashed 6.1.1, booted up, recovery, flashed gapps, booted, recovery, wiped cache and dalvik, booted and got bootloops. I then tried with wiping data, cache, and dalvik and still bootloops. Oh well it looks nice but I just can't use it.
Hmm, that's strange. I'm running it now as well as a few other people and haven't heard of any major problems like this. Of course thats why I left it in beta. I will look into it for ya though.
I did have a similar problem with another modified framework I was working on. Are you positive you are flashing 6.1.1 instead of 6.1?
I'll stick it back in there when I get a chance.

When you say wiping data, cache, and dalvik, do you mean Factory Reset, cache, and dalvik cache? Are you using AmonRA recovery or Clockwork? I've read many times that Clockwork doesn't wipe quite properly.

I'm assuming you didn't get around to posting the framework anims yet. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have come up with or collected. Have you found the Gingerbread Screen off animation? It looks like an old school tube TV shutting off. It's pretty awesome looking. I'd read somewhere that it has in fact been ported/implemented on the EVO but I've yet to find it.
Anyhow, I'm definitely going to be checking back often to see if you've posted any updates. I really enjoy your work brotha.

Instructions
Before installing Black Lightning, make sure your system is deodexed; e.g. you have installed at least one deodexed ROM in the past. If you aren't sure, please at least install this before continuing.
Pre-installation
If you don't have custom recovery on your phone, please install it first.
If your system is not deodexed, please install this ROM first. It will completely deodex your phone and guarantee this ROM will install smoothly.
Installation
Download Black Lightning here.
Put it somewhere easy to find on your phone's SD card (I made a folder called "0roms" because it goes to the top of the list).
Power off your phone.
Boot your phone into Recovery Mode (While holding Volume Down and Volume Up, hold Power until you feel a vibration.)
Navigate to "Install ZIP from SD Card" (volume keys to go up/down, power key to select).
Navigate to Black Lightning, choose it.
The install should take around 1-2 minutes.
Press the Menu key to return to the main menu, then choose Reboot.

I'm always open to suggestions too.

Updated OP. You guys are awesome.
...and I'm now an expert on making bootanimations...
Updated OP with proven wifi tethering (Barnacle), reboot and recovery options, etc.
Opdated OP. Black Lightning 3.2 uses a different architecture in its build.prop for a wider market and better front camera compatibility.
Apparently any Triumph I get is extremely incompatible with anything, regardless of how nicely I treat it.
I don't have the triumph but I've been messing with my girlfriends and I was wondering if
the kernel gets backed up when you do a full system backup. I'm one of those people that likes to be able to make everything stock of I need to and I haven't put a kernel on a phone before. Sorry for the dumb question...

You know, I believe it does (it takes a minute or so to back up "boot"). But the post here about the Umph Kernel also provides a stock kernel zip, should you ever need to revert.

To fix this, try installing b_randon14's stock deodex'ed ROM, which should get your phone up and out of the boot loop. From there, Black Lightning should run.
If and when that finishes, please answer these two questions so I can better write flashing instructions...
Did you wipe /data before/when you installed this ROM? (Don't wipe it now, doing any wiping, ever, may increase the chance of bootloops.)
Is this the first ROM you installed on this phone, ever? (E.g. I might be wrong about it being flash-able over anything...)

Then I restored the backup that I had and the phone booted back normal. But instead of going back to stock rom, the phone went back to the Deodexed rom (I'm assuming since there was Adroid logo instead of VM logo on Boot Animation)
Then I flashed your rom and the boot loop showed up again.
What do you think? Lemme know man.

Right now, clearing /data is NOT advised... DON'T wipe /data when installing any of these ROMs. Otherwise, well... bad things have been known to happen. If you did a full system restore, your system probably isn't de-odexed anymore.
What happens if you install a ROM (like b_randon14's deodexed one) and then restore just /data (via Backup&Restore > Advanced Restore)?

When I restore the data, I'm back to normal system except for all the VM bloatware and FB. I'm assuming that's b_randon14's deodexed stock rom? My phone says this--- Android-2.2.2, Kernel version- Apps_2.6.32.9-perf, baseband PR5, Software version- 1010_2_039 under about phone tab.
EDIT---- Alright I just tried flashing b_randon's DEODEXED rom and then restoring just data and the phone is stuck at MOTO logo.
Now I just flashed the back-up that I had through ClockworkMod and the phone seems to be back to normal without any VMBloatWare with "ANDROID" written Boot animation.
"When I restore the data, I'm back to normal system except for all the VM bloatware and FB. I'm assuming that's b_randon14's deodexed stock rom?"
Deodexed shouldn't actually mean decrapped, but I can accept this. The only thing that changes in a deodexed rom is it becomes theme-able.
"---- Alright I just tried flashing b_randon's DEODEXED rom and then restoring just data and the phone is stuck at MOTO logo."
Don't restore data next time and see what happens? Last I checked, his rom doesn't erase it.
"Now I just flashed the back-up that I had through ClockworkMod and the phone seems to be back to normal without any VMBloatWare with "ANDROID" written Boot animation."
Sounds reasonable. I'm still not sure where the boot logo goes, except it might have been Virgin Mobile's custom one...either way it shouldn't be an issue which is shown.
Sorry flashing a ROM is such a pain in the butt... after you get one, all of them should be okay ;_;

Ok I tried without restoring the data, but still no result. The MOTO boot logo is still there and stuck at bootloop. Any idea why this is happening? I mean I had no problem flashing ROMs on G1, MyTouch, Samsung Intercept. This is the first time I'm having this issue. Could it be the phone?

It... could be the phone. But then again you've also been able to back up and restore the device itself...
Did no ROM at all work, even the deodexed one? That is very strange indeed...
Does the stock ROM (odex'ed) work?
More and more people keep having this problem. Your phone suddenly has tons of force closes, and becomes unfunctional. Well we seem to have a problem with our recovery, possibly causing a corrupt partition. There is a solution .......use odin to flash the stock recovery tar found in development. Boot into stock recovery.. wipe data, and cache 3 times each ,and boot the rom back up. Then use rom manager to flash the tmobile gs2 cwm recovery. This does work. And has been proven numerous times.
Here is the stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360943.
If for some reason you still have this issue after following my advice. Use odin to flash the stock firmware tar found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348. After your done. Let it boot. If u get the force closes. Then proceed to power off, boot into stock recovery, and then wipe your data/cache, and reboot

Excellent post... Thx
another good one Silver Thanks....im curious as well to see how many are really having this issue<<<
Is there a difference between the TMobile GS2 CWM recovery and the CWM recovery flashed using this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526)?
I had the described problem, but wiping and reloading the intended ROM in CWM recovery fixed it.
That is good but alot of times that does not work. It can actually get to the point where it will not read the internal sd card
How are you guys flashing....and what are you flashing that is giving you these issues.
I have yet to experience these issues on T-Mobile or skyrocket roms.
What are the exact steps you follow when flashing a from to begin with?

I have experienced this on stock, and custom roms. And im not the only one. Alot of people have had this issue
Lets put it this way enough people have had this problem, and more will to the point where i made this thread, and asked a mod (jayharper08) to sticky it.
yes ALOT have......they may not have known it was a known issue and solved it. but it is there.
I am not saying you guys are not having issues...there has to be a reason I am not which is why I ask.....What steps exactly do you guys use to flash a rom and what roms. The process to fix it is great but if we could prevent it in the first place wouldn't that be better????.

Silver,
Question...based on several of your other posts in threads, if we have 2.3.6 and use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526 to root/install recovery, are things ok?
Or should we still follow this thread to update CWM via ROM Manager?
Thanks.
^^^
That was my question too. What's the difference between the two recovery's?
I was having the issue too. I had the issue on stock(pure from store) as well as stock rooted, skyrocketeer, and cm7.
One thing I have tied it to, which I am not sure is the true reason but I was too impatient to test it thoroughly, is excessive SMS messages.
I have over 32k messages currently stored on my HTC Inspire. These have been moved from my G1, to Nexus One, to Inspire with no issue at all. When importing to my Skyrocket, the messages will import fine for a while. Afterwards, I would get random FCs, screen freezes up(can't do anything, not even turn off the screen), and network disconnects. I can force a reboot by holding the power button and it will work for about 5 minutes and then repeat the issues as before.
At first I thought it was the specific device having radio issues so I exchanged it for a new unit at Best Buy. I was still having the same issues with the new unit so I just figured I could cut my losses (on screen protectors and phone case) by just returning the until outright. I figure I will wait for the ICS update for this phone, hoping it will be more stable. Maybe at that point I can compare with other phones available as well.
I have had this problem repeating several times even after flashing the Rom and repeating steps as mentioned. I think it does it with a certain number of apps that downloaded from the market.

Is this a problem that develops as you start flashing more and more ROMs? Is there a known cause?
I'm new at this stuff - just rooted and tried my first ROM this week. I'm tempted to try others but if chances are good that I'll run into problems/issues even if I'm going about things the right way - I might hold off on making a change given that the phone is stable right now.
Thoughts?
NO rom does not cauz this issues. What causes issue is when you restore data from ur backups. Plus there is problem with cwm it does not fully wipe data because cwm was not particularly made for our phone. That being said you do not have to worry about a thing. I am flashaholic and i used to flash every other day since i m with Sky ice cream rom by Sean i don't flash a lot. Don't worry just try out all the roms you won't have problem by roms at all. There was only one rom that had problem Alien the first or second build.

Thank for the reply.
BTW, I'm using Sean's Sky IC too. Sooo nice.
Do you need to go into download mode to flash the recovery in ODIN? Or do you do it when the phone is just turned on regularly?
You have to go to dload mode in order to flash recovery. and use odin.

I tried this process and I wanted to flash a new ROM. But in recovery mode it wouldn't read my SD card, and when I transferred the .zip to my internal memory and I tried to install it said I had no space.
Any ideas?

Is TiBu working yet?

Thank you bro. Can I just reinstall TiBu from GP? And thanks for all your hard work..You rock..
no it wont work. i accidentally put the preload preconfg app back in wasnt paying attention coppying apps. lol it happens
but thats what causes force closes and tibu to not work
its fixed now
new link will be in op in about an hour
how do you take your screen captures? The app i normally use ShootMe takes pictures that appear to be red washed.
Never mind. Figured it out.
Good idea on the Q&A thread! Of course most people will glaze over that and post questions in the other thread, but it's a good idea.
Only problem might be that the post count will go down for the thread in the dev section if people come here instead, and you may get moved down the list onto page two--behind inferior roms...
What does the Silver Rom flashable theme consist of exactly? Is that what is in the preview pictures or does it look different?
Thank you silver

i flashed ICS3 but i cant seem to download anything no links work anywhere to download. says download starting then when i check on it says it failed. is there anything i can do?
Got collectiveics3 working
I had been having boot loop problems, and when I finally got it running the acore FC was killing me because it ground everything to a halt over and over again.
I flashed Superlite 4.5, which wiped and then ran OK but I got ambitious and flashed the UCALC5 modem and it turned into a nightmare... every touch of the screen would freeze me up for a minute or more.
I reflashed the romracer kernal and the UCALC4 modem, then reflashed collectiveics3 and that gave me a working ics, but the apex crashes were making life difficult (trying to log on to the market took me over an hour because the keyboard kept dissapearing, but I finally got there and updated Apex and TiBu and reinstalled the TiBu key... that let me restore the stuff I lost to the superlite flash... but something didn't play nice with the ROM.
Reflashed superlite, reflashed collectiveics3, re-updated Apex and TiBu, and then rloaded most of my apps from the maeket, restored data ONLY from user apps (and was picky about which ones I chose) and I can hapily say everything seems to be working properly for me...
In the interest complying with the Q&A for this thread... here's a question.
I was in a strong LTE area for a couple hours but couldn't find where to tell the phone to use it... The settings on the Rogers GB ROM are self evident... where do I find them on this one?
I am anxiously awaiting the updated link, but headed to a cottage that's off the grid and nowhere near cellular service in an hour or so, so I guess I'm in no hurry until Monday now... may as well take the pressure off so he can make it absolutely perfect.
Jamie
@Silver
Does this ROM have the option in the settings menu to turn off LTE? I think that option in your GB ROM saved me some battery life, and I would love to see it in this ROM. This ICS kernel or radio seems to really suck battery, I'm glad I have the 15 toggle to turn off data completely when I'm at work.
another Q what's the difference between the theme link on Post #4 of DEV Thread and the ROM that will be posted in OP?
Here http://www.theandroidcollective.org/i727/SilverRom/silverics.zip
Some thing i have have concluded about the ics leak. And my rom instructions
Use cwm 5.0.2.6 and only this version. It is in the dev section in a cwm recovery.tar
Works everytime for me on this cwm version
Do not use rom manager to install it. Our device is very similar to the t989 but there is something different to where the skyrockrt will always have recovery issues. Unless we get our own specific for us.
Do not wipe anything....just flash no wipes.
Wipes cause bootloops in my rom.
If u abide by these directions. You will be all good.
Enjoy
Still not finished the rom but it is a work in progress as this was built from a leak eith many bugs.
Its fast and smooth. New apex version...new live wallpapers.
Included usefull apps.

Boot back into cwm manualy and reflash the zip again. Did you wipe anything in cwm before you flashed?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
i think it did. honestly this is my first time flashing my phone so im not surprised i screwed it up.
i just tried installing the zip again and it says it will fully wipe. it didnt give me an option to choose to wipe or not. how can i install it without wiping?

dont wipe anything manually. Just flash silvers ics rom. It will wipe what it needs to. Do that and if it bootloops again let us know.
Did tou ever get to the bootanimation during the first boot after flash?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
ok then i did it right the first time. i didnt manually wipe anything. i just went to install zip from sd card and installed it. after it was installed it went to the bootanimation and maybe completed half of it. then it restarted and started looping and then the bootanimation would not come back. just the samsung logo looping. i ended up going back to stock so at least i got my phone working again
for this rom to work do i need to be running 4.0.3? when i tried to install it i was running 2.3.5. could that have been the problem?

You should be able to come from gingerbread no problem. Get a fresh download of the rom and try again.

Give us some more info.
What rom are you currently using?
Did you follow the directions and do a factory reset before/after flashing the rom?
What else are you flashing or doing?

CM9 with KJ6 padded modem
I followed all the instructions and now I flashed CM7 everything
work well even the wifi but I would like to have ICS thanks
Jeffsf did help you in your other post he gave you all the info needed.
That's pretty rude to say you weren't helped.
jeffsf said:
CM9 works just fine for WiFi. It is only the T-Mobile WiFi Calling feature that does not work on any ICS ROM for the SGS4G.
Changing the modem has nothing to do with the Wifi driver. It sounds like a bad flash or the way data was restored.
I'd read the Q&A thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729121 and post any unanswered questions there.

I think it is interesting that you say you have tried everything, but I don't know what everything means, because wifi works for me on every rom. So you did not try everything, you are doing one thing wrong that no one else is having a problem with.

Considering we are here on XDA, and this is a forum, we usually write text (you know... this stuff) and you have to read it. If I or any other developers for this phone took the time to make a video on how to do something that is better explained in text format, we would never get time to dev anything (and you would hear my wife constantly yelling at me while I'm making a video... I don't need to expose you to that world!).

How about instead, you do things one step at a time. At each step, write down what you did and the results. Be as detailed as you can. Use correct english, so we understand what you are saying. (you instead of u, because instead of bcoz, etc...)
When you get all done, post to this thread and we will help!

thank you i really apreciate
ok i was running CM7(which is smooth and work great, thanks to team acid) but decided to try again...and here is what i'm doing:
- i returned to stock 2.3.6 via Odin and CWM is 3.0.2.8 in Red (don't know why, but you probably do)
- to have CWM 5.0.2.8 i flashed a kernel (Basic with a Twist SGS4G KJ6 1.1.3)
- then after rebooting twice i get into cwm 5.0.2.8 and i did wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache
- then install zip from SD card...then flash "cm-9-20120830-UNOFFICIAL-galaxys4gmtd" (that i downloaded twice to make sure the package is good)
- reboot and flashed Gapps and reboot again and flashed the "kj6_padded_modem"
- i rebooted twice and entered cwm and did wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions
after a reboot when i turn on wifi it tells me "wifi turning on" and didn't detect any signal but all other stuff work.
hope its clear than before
Tried getting closer to the router? Your wifi is accessible with other devices? You HAVE wifi?
Sorry if that sounded mean, but like Bryan said, there are no problems with wifi an any rom I have used either.

I think you might be missing a key step.
Go back to stock.
Flash basic with a twist to get the right recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe cache.
Wipe dalvik cache
Go to mounts "WIPE SYSTEM"
Flash rom.
Let it do is thing and reboot you into cm9.
Then reboot into recovery flash gapps.
you shouldn't need to flash the radio if you already had kj6 before, I never do. But what I like to do is repeat the wipes and fresh install of cm9 after the initial install from gb just to be on the safe side though I'm sure it's over kill, then flash the gapps. restart and let the phone settle in before I mess with it. Works for me every time.
