Dang, I have a boot loop. I installed AOKP RC1, gapps addon, then this, without booting in between. Should I have let it boot between?

Of course :D

Just trying once more, but letting it boot before I apply your theme, will let you know how I go. Thanks for the reply

Ah crap i think i might know why. I used the old 3/19 AOKP Files and maybe jermaine changed some stuff in the framework-res causing a bootloop.

lemme install the new RC1 and see if i get a bootloop, if so ill just whip up a updated version.

It boots fine for me so idk whats the problem =/

Just finished Framework-res.apk, and camera.apk Sadly camera.apk is being a lil *****, everything is themed BUT video recording using the rear camera does not work for some reason... Well im on to Browser then music and it should be ready soon as i checked out the images in both of em and there isnt really much to edit.

Anyway this could be put into a System UI?
Havent unlocked yet

What do you mean? Of course you can't its based off of AOKP which you aren't running and pushing framework-res.apk could brick your device without CWM. Also as stated its AOKP-Exclusive meaning i will not port it to any other rom.

Update: Browser is done, Music2.apk left =)

Couple of things I noticed with the theme...The mouse cursor is the gesture mode(circle) and when the screen is shut off and turned back on the back button changes into a down facing arrow.

Thats a AOKP bug not my theme bud. And a quick fix to the facing arrow nav button press the home button on your keyboard dock.

Music2.apk wont recompile... i think its because i grab a old one off my dropbox... w.e ill release 2.0 in abit without music2.apk

Updated OP with Lightless Ascension V2.0 =)

Hit that thank buttons please! =)

Cheers.

Hey, reNeglect wasn't trying to sound mean/angry, he was just saying it wasn't a problem with his theme.

Thanks for the theme reNeglect, looks great... btw, what's the story with your name? It sounds like it could have a good origin story.

Just installed the new theme. This is not related to this tread but do you know why my YouTube app won't recognize my device. Only way I can get it to install is to restore it but its not the tablet version. I really want that themed YouTube! Looks so SICK!

    Completely understandable bro. I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to put all this effort into something for others to enjoy for free only to get **** in return. Not to sound selfish or anything, I really hope you decide to get back on the horse again because the only thing I am missing from 1.12 is a little Lightless Despair! Love that ****...

    Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 3 Beta-1

    Updated OP with new build support v1.12 AOKP , even though i didn't want to release, i guess I'll give it one more go.

    Also Lightless -> Endless.

    Also there are also new instructions please make sure to follow them.

    If youtube.apk isn't themed, you might have to go into system/app and delete youtube.apk and if there isn't one that looks like YouTube.apk reflash my theme again.

    Bump~

    Updated OP with updated Theme for V1.20 AOKP with some minor changes.

    New V4.8 Build to fix some minor things.
