Keeps on getting on better and better.....

craigtut, you are amazing, ICS Fourth Bar is making me foam just thinking about it :D

I'm hoping you add FLAC support in the next release if possible though. ;)

I'm planning on making a very aosp like version based of the Ics leak. I'm going to be using the stock launcher from aosp and let people customize from there. I have a good number of the applications from aosp running on my phone at the moment but I've spent all day trying to deodex the stupid thing with no success whatsoever. I can do theming and basic things well but when it comes to more complicated code work, I have to turn to other people.

So unfortunately I'll probably have to wait until someone with more experience does the deodexing (required for the theming). I have a working very stock zip and that is about it. It shouldn't take to incredibly long though to port the theme I already have. The system image files look decently similar.

Where did you get the AOSP apks? Just pull them from a build?

Also, really looking forward to this! Maybe ask mike1986 for the de-odex?

I have to say, I've stuck with energy because I've always loved his theming (since my fuze/touch pro days), but this is one seriously slick rom... I wish you the best in your endeavors and hope you get the deodexing bit figured out, I would definitely lend a hand if I thought it would be of any use... depending on my check this week I might toss a few pennies in your paypal jar =)

P.S. that Aroma launcher is TITS!

Thanks! :D

Look forward to seeing the ICS release. Was my favorite GB ROM for the Amaze.

I can't wait to get it done so I can use it! ;)

A rough beta should be ready soon. It will probably take a while to work all the bugs out though. Gb version was something I started back in December so it definitely takes a while.

Should still be working... Just to be sure though, this is the android 2.3 version. You want the gingerbread version?

I wouldn't mind it. Even an updated final GB to rule them all unroll cm10 gets finished.

I have to respectfully disagree! I haven't run GB on this phone, but I'm frustratedly back to GB on my SGTab and our AOSP ICS ROMs (built on Sense) blow away any reason to go back to anything GB on the Amaze.

Try JB Fusion 3.2.2, or SpeedRom first. Both are great ROMs!

Peace!

I like speedrom but there are bugs. And some slightly unruley ones on my phone. And fourthbar is good but not 100%.

I have had most of my best rims on most phones being gb, even since ics and jb have dropped.

I'm sorry but I'm done working on this version, consider this Rom finished. I barely have time to work on the Ics version as it is. If I remember right, unless you require wifi calling this version was incredibly stable and worked very well.

I'm glad though that someone is still using it! :) It took a lot of time to make!

    Fourth Bar is a highly themed and slimmed down Sense 3.0 Rom that is one of the few Roms to use the Aroma custom installer. This installer lets you decide what boot animation you would like, whether you want the led button lights on or off, and even which apps you would like installed. Now your phone modifications can be molded easily to your liking.

    Please read about the known issues before posting. During testing some issues came up that have not been fixed yet and I am currently incredibly busy with school and can't finish fixing the issues until summer break rolls around. I figured instead of making you all wait 3 more weeks you might want it now with a few issues that are all listed below. Also, the download is larger than the previous version because of all the customization options. The default install is still only about 190mb.

    Downloads

    Installation:

    1. Always Backup First!

    3. Flash in Recovery just like a normal Zip
    4. Then follow the instructions on screen to finish installation.
    5. If you aren't S-off or using Ext4 Smartflash, you need to download the Kernels Zip and flash the one you selected in the custom installer using Xboarders flashing utility. If you selected Default Installation or Minimal Installation then you will pick the Faux Kernel to flash.
    6. If using Ext4 SmartFlash do not use reboot option at the end or it won't flash the kernel
    7. Turn off facebook live feed sync or else nothing else will sync and it will waste your battery

    Known Issues in 3.0:
    • Wifi Calling doesn't work yet
    • Battery info is missing
    • Black text on Account Settings buttons
    • If using Ext4 SmartFlash do not use reboot option at the end or it won't flash the kernel

    An update on whats going on with Fourth Bar

    Its been a slow process of finding small little things and tweaking the code but its coming along. I would say that its about 70% finished and I'm hoping to get the rest done by next week. This will be the final major update (small bug fixes will still get addressed). Its looking amazing so far!

    O, and there's a bit of a surprise with the next update :)
    I have to say I'm pretty excited about it! Hopefully S-off gets released soon so I can use it to its full potential!

    Well now that there is an Ics Ruu... My better judgement is telling me to focus on my classes.

    I don't think I'm going to listen. Gonna work on getting fourth bar theming onto real Ics.
