Octane 3.0 or Valhalla Final? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

So just like the title says, which of these two do you guys prefer? I'm currently running octane, I just wanted to see some other opinions!

Just try them both and decide for yourself. There pretty painless to flash between.

I have tried both, i just want to see other peoples opinions.

Cool. I'm running Valhalla right now. Just gonna wait till Raver does the themed version. But for me octaine is the way to go.

They are both great roms - I also have tried them both
The devs are really putting a foot into what we are seeing
don't forget about ICBINB and AOSP

It'd only be fair to wait till the themed version of octaine is released to make an accurate judgement

Well, bout is good, my favorite is octane, for Better video, an audio.

IMO, Octane is superior to Valhalla if you only look at multimedia functions (games, video, music, etc.) I've noticed that games lag much less on Octane and Quadrant tests during the graphics portion show significant FPS differences.
However, the reason I prefer Valhalla over Octane is because it has less FCs. Octane seems to FC on me a lot, despite flashing from a clean slate.

Awesome, I agree that they're both awesome, and they both are very different.

Hey. First post, but have been reading this site for over a month.
Both ROMs are great, however I prefer Octane due to the smoothness. No FC issues.
Does anyone know how I can add quickpanel toggles to the notification menu? Since Octane 3.0 is still un-themed, I no longer have the quick toggle for Data ON/OFF. I've come to depend on this from Octane 2.0.
Valhalla also has similar toggles, however the data toggle is scrolled to the right. Any way to change the order?
Thanks

There's a way but it requires a lot of editing of many things... Unless you know your way around xml and Java...
I'm sure when raver makes his tricked out octane it'll have nice toggles

Quickpanel toggles are the primary reason I'm still on octane 2.0, I'm happy with it so I'll wait for the themed version before updating

If I'm building on my build server at work, it's flubber (the absent minded professor's invention), and if it's on my linux vm on my mac, it's boxy.

Any idea if we can remove the clock from the status bar with Valhalla final?

[theme] [cwm] [feeling blue] -updated 1-5-2012

Feeling Blue Final
FOR DEODEXED KG6, KH1, and KH2 and VALHALLA ROMs ONLY
theme with blue over scroll glow, glowing pop ups, crt on/off, new status bar, and some other changes.
I have flashed it over and over with no issues.
That said... I'm not responsible for any bricks or damage. Don't forget to backup you original frameworks and status bar.
Includes:
CRT on/off animation
Flying window/transition animation
Blue Glowing pop-ups/scroll bar
Themed Status Icons
Themed Status/Notification bar
Accurate Battery mod
Loading animation
Calendar
Contacts
Stock Dialer Rethemed
In Call window themed
Media Scanner Icon changed
Calculator Themed.
V1.1 A few changes to some icons and colors for the battery to better match. If you already have the theme installed, then just flash the update file. Delete Caches first.
Note: if your launcher will hide the status bar (like Go Launcher EX) the animation will show it stretch out to hide and shrink back in to be visible again.
Flash through CWM....

I'm working on overscroll as well myself (dex, smali etc.). So I have it recognizing it, you see it when you scroll on anything, only issue it's not picking up the PNGs from framework-res.apk.
It references them via resourceID so I'm trying to figure out what their resourceID's are. Right now it's just a grey bar, and grey shadow on the overscroll. It should be orange etc. for the test I'm doing.
Lemme know what you find.
Will do... So far I have only found that it will irritate you to no end. LOL

One issue tho, after flashing it in cwm. I rebooted and i was at 35% battery life. From there it went to 5% in like less than 20 mins. Well i was also playing music from tune-in radio. That couldn't have drained my battery life that quick right? Cuz i use tune-in alot and it never drains that fast... Just curious
But i love your hard work!

shouldn't do anything or have anything to do with the battery life. I would make sure that you charge your battery and calibrate.
I have had something strange happen after a reboot with GB and going in looking at the battery stats. the time running dropped a couple of hours.

I am sure you all must know me<I MADE GBTHEME for kg4/kd1
I am trying to make a full KG6 version. Unlike all my previous betas, I just want to release a stable version at once. And that is the only problem I am having, over scroll. The Color isn't hard as the resources are there. The problem is that Now matter what I have tried, I end up in an unrepairable soft brick boot loop. Luckily, I have an old CWM backup of KG6 with a lot of data to depend on.
it's there on mine as well... just not working.

I have it working on mine for KG4 but it's not linking up to the resource PNG's in framework-res.apk.
Overscroll works, is slight, and all grey right now which I'm trying to change. When I do I can send you the framework.jar.
thanks shotchacokov. which launcher did you use when getting the screen shots for v1.2? it matches your theme very well

How long until we see a stable CM7 ROM

Anyone know approximately how much longer until a stable CM7 is released for the G2X?
Don't get me wrong, I like the current nightly version and I appreaciate the work the guys are doing on this project, but it is a bit buggy, so I was just wondering if anyone knew when a stable CM7 would be released.

Are you using the stock cm7 launcher? It's well worth the 3 bucks to get the ADW EX launcher! Also, go launcher is a great snappy launcher... Both will help with the lag...
And i always do a clean install when I change roms even nightly to nightly, just incase there is an issue...

In my experiences on other devices it has never been stable. Even when a so-called stable mod is released there are many problems. If you want a bug free rom then don't install CM or any other hacker community roms. Stick with stock. I'm not knocking them; just saying they are not for people that expect a smooth, seamless, bug free experience.

I took your advice and got ADWLauncher EX and I must say I'm glad I did. The menu is much faster and there is more customization.
I just have a question, do you know if you are able to make the background transparent while in the menu? Right now the background black.
Does CM7 use the default internal storage or does it skips over the extra 5 gigs all together and installs apps in the sd card?
It gives you a choice where to install.
As for the other question... remember, asking for CM ETAs causes baldness and impotence (or frigidity in case you are female).

THANK YOU for actually responding. To be completely honest I am using eaglesblood which is based off the cm7 builds. In the cyanogen Mod settings and applications, there are choices for internal and sd card, either of which still makes my apps and music go to the sd card.

I would have to disagree with this. How long did you use stock GB, one minute. The stock GB rom is as stable as any other Android device I have ever had, if not more. I have had zero problems with the stock rom. It is rock solid.
I agree, solid, but inefficient

From home screen
Press menu
Select more
Select adw settings
Tap UI settings
Pick Drawer preferences
Scroll to background color
Have your phone in portrait because if it is in landscape you can't see the slider bar.
Move the slider the left, then hit the center circle.
Poof! Transparent app drawer!

I wouldn't recommend this since it replaces all of the framework, not just the battery images. Unless you wanted to run a hybrid of both themes I guess.

Yup unfortunately that is the trade off for having the clock centered. There will be overlapping of the clock with icons if there are ever too many icons at once. It sucks but I think it's worth it lol. You could also go into Settings -> Display and check the box for "Move status bar clock" which moves the clock next to the date.

While the effect may be minimal (pun somewhat intended), the images/xmls/etc in the framework-res.apk of the circular battery extra are based on the original theme for tweakstock - while you may not notice differences, any edits made to framework-res.apk in the mnmltweak theme are overwritten when you flash that extra over the theme. That being said, if that's the way you want it then by all means, as I am pretty sure there will be no changes in functionality.

[Tweaked]Ice Cream Alchemy for the Droid Charge

Hello folks,
I developed a theme for the Stratosphere that was my take on Droidblaze's TweakedICS. I used Tweaked ICS as a base, but kept some of my own touches and integrated in XML layout changes that helped to improve the ICS-like experience. Given the fact that Droidblaze stopped theming for the Droid Charge, I felt that porting over Ice Cream Alchemy to the Charge would be a good idea.
It's available exclusively through Tweaktools, so install it and have fun.

Made a quick update - put the wrong calendarprovider in there at first. It now includes a more appropriately themed one
great looking theme, thanks for the effort!
What's the difference between this and SolidICS? I'm too lazy to flash and find out

LOL - well tweaktools takes out about 99% of the lazy excuse
It's a different take/mix on ICS - I'm not an aesthetics sorta guy so I'm sure there are lots of little differences throughout, but one that pops out at me right off the bat are the ics-style notifications in the pulldown. There are some slight differences in Settings as well - and a different take on an accurate battery mod. The Mms.apk is AOSP-based too I believe... and I'm sure there are other differences that I'm missing. And now for my lazy response - to really know you'll have to flash it and see! Not like it's too hard to flash back if it's not your bag
right, the differences are very subtle when compared to Blackness' ICS themes.
pros:
- I do like the drop-down notifications
- no white text on white background in tapatalk
cons:
- e-mail app not themed (still stock brown/orange)
- wifi signal icon still the one from black/blue theme
- accurate battery mod does NOT change color as it gets lower
but this all just a personal preference, I think this is a very nice, well thought out theme. personally, I think Blackness has more stuff themed, but both are very good, and you really cannot go wrong with either.
My only complaint here is that the Messaging app isn't themed very much (just b&w).
Then again, there is more readability in certain situations compared to TransparentICS.

I'm digging this theme. I like how readable everything is compared to all the other ICS themes I've tried.

I'd like to consider it to be a minimalist take on an Ice Cream Sandwich style theme. The general idea is to keep it simple, stick to the black-blue-white color scheme and integrate in as many cool little tweaks as possible. If it made it harder to read things, I'd be fixing that as it would bug me too
I can't seem to not tinker...
Ok, so I made one or two minor changes. The first - the mms should now default to the black theme - which I think fits better with the overall feel. The second - accurate battery stuff now changes color - at 20 and at 5. Enjoy!

Any changes dwitherell makes are pre-approved by me! Gogo dwitherell magic! Plus these improvements do help a nice bit in adding to the overall effect of the theme. Also, I'd like to quickly mention that I probably won't be theming OzMail (Email). This is mostly because it'd be a good deal of work to do the custom image work and I don't even use OzMail. Heck, I don't even have any spare accounts I could throw in it atm. So, I wouldn't be able to properly test it on my Stratosphere and then port that over to the Charge.
just noticed under settings -> Display, it reads "Posavings mode" rather than "Power Savings Mode".
not a big deal.... but just FYI....
been using the theme a couple of days and seems very slick i just love it great job op
Any way that this can be ported to Eclipse 2.0?

Geez, this thread had fallen so far down the list it had to hide on the second page.
Since Dwitherell updated this theme it's become my favorite. I try others but keep coming back to it. I really like the Battery icon in the status bar. It's nice and big. They say they will make us a nice big 4g/3g icon for ICS themes. I'll be glad when that happens. I can't stand that tiny little icon that's there now. The up/down arrows are so small I can't even make out the shape of them.
But it's ok. I can wait til they have time for this. The new rom just came out and there's a lot going on around it. Keep up the good work guys. You're all awesome.
