Sorry to break it to you guys, but it isn't my rhyme. It's from the opening of a Hip-Hop classic, "Pitch Black - It's All Real". DJ Premier beat.
haha, your comments were good though, I enjoyed reading them. :)

Then he can´t rhyme either.
should report him to rapperswhocantrhyme.com

expected new nightly to be released today but nothing. It is supposed to have the 4.2.2 fingerprint merged in. Anyway... the delay is mostly caused by me. Trying to theme some apps/add entries to current theme. I want to make it perfect as I am going to use the rom for myself also and as my permanent driver/work in progress.

Gosh! my flash nerve is starting to be very annoying :D

not much free time during week days. I'll try to finish the theme the soonest possible. After that you'll start receiving the regular weekly updates. After all, waiting at this point (after 4.2.2 is released and till some things are fixed/settled down) is good. As I see, major devs/dev teams still haven't release their 4.2.2 updates so I quess I'm ok for now.

Ok! I like the idea of weekly updates.
once a week is perfect. nightly is too often and monthly too long.

my 3G speed is not going any higher than 380kbps, I am observing this on 4.2.2, before i could get 10Mbps... can anyone suggest any solution?? is it rom related? or I need some tweak to uncap the 3G? or is it same observation on 4.2.2 for other users??

Re: [ROM] [CM10.1] PitchBlack v1.2 // Feb 12, 2013 //

Is there really not an option to change the background or am I the only one with this problem? I tried this rom, but it hangs everywhere. I did everything, wiping data and cache, full format, but no it is not working properly. I can choose the background but it is not saving.

Installing PitchBlack For The First Time
wipe cache / dalvik / factory reset / format system
flash rom & reboot
complete setup & press home key
reboot once more for Wallpaper to show
done
(read notes for first time installation @ 2nd post)

changing wallpapers works fine. It's just you.

Thank you!

OK, HERE'S THE PLAN...
## no more overdrive updates. My attention now focuses on pitchblack
## sorry for delaying the upcoming update for pitchblack. I am working crazy hours to make pitchblack theme nice. This is going to be a blend of thyrusholoblack and betterbean theme plus things from other themes. Minimal still but inverts most system apps and some gapps.
## due to limited time I WILL NOT CONTINUE WORK ON TORO AND TORO PLUS. Sorry guys but this already is too much for me. With two kids at home and working, is not the best deal.
## update will eventually come Monday or Tuesday. Weekly updates after that
## will continue to evolve the PitchBlack Theme. No more search for inverted apps

As @schukje said private life comes first;) I'm waiting for new release because that project look very promising. The only thing i wish is a loud speaker for being my permanent rom.

Gonna test it again, I did exaclty what is written there before :good:

Edit: Tested and it is working properly now, normaly when I always install a ROM, I don't need the reboot step. But in this case it worked after a second boot. Now I need the new update and it is done. Thank you and good work :good::good:

franco kernel give problems if it used as the rom's default kernel. Will stick to cm kernel for the upcoming update. Theme is done and will continue to evolve it. Will test audio in my car on my way to work (but on speaker sounds powerful and rich). Merged awesome's beats and xloud, misledz's mod is come to past. Right now I am like a freakin zombie. UPDATE tomorrow morning! :good:

IMHO I think CM kernel is more smooth than franco.
CM kernel on CM roms works best. But you dont get the candy with it.

UPLOADING PITCHBLACK 1.3 - CHECK LINK @ 1st POST SHORTLY

Changelog released @ 2nd post along with guide of how to use Xposed App Settings
## This version introduces pitchblack theme chooser theme. Will constantly developing this and add new entries.*
## Per-App-DPI is also added via Xposed framework.
## Also...until 4.2.2 code is fully merged by CM Team, I will use CM Kernel and return to franco when all is ready. So rom is not at full potential yet.

* Theme is a blend of thyrusholoblack and betterbean theme with minor additions from other themes. Will also feature my changes which are already seen in 1.2 and 1.3 (eg, will add systemui and torch since i did this seperately till now) and also fix some visual elements. Theme will stay minimal. Will not add entries for other user apps.

TO AVOID BUGS, AND SINCE LOT OF THINGS CHANGED SINCE 1.2, I SUGGEST A FULL WIPE

    Concerns old and new users. DO NOT DIRTY FLASH!!!
    01. Before flashing do a full wipe (clean install)
    - wipe cache
    - wipe dalvik
    - wipe data/factory reset
    - wipe system
    02. Flash PitchBlack ROM
    03. Reboot your device
    04. When setup wizard is complete, press the HOME KEY
    05. Open up Settings>Security, simply press on "SMS message limit" and close
    06. Open ViPER4Android FX, select to install the "CortexA9/15 with NEON" driver and close
    07.
    OpenViPER4Android XHiFi, select to install the "CortexAx with NEON" driver and close
    08. Reboot into recovery and flash PB_Settings_2.2L.zip provided in 2nd post without wiping anything
    09. Installation is complete.
    10. Optional: Check Nova Launcher Fine Tuning Guide at 2nd Post

    Notes:
    *
    Process looks long but doing this actually is a 5 minutes game.
    * You do every step cause there's a reason for it. DO NOT SKIP NONE FROM 1-9
    * PB_Settings_2.2L.zip contains the Settings.apk This is the modded Beanstalk settings and is mandatory !!! Without it you actually don't have PitchBlack
    * My job is to provide the best possible outcome. Yours is to first search and read for what you don't understand and then ask me or other experienced users
    * For the record, I always format SD Card after a clean install. It helped me overcome some unwanted issues in the past with various roms
    * I have provided some basic info at 2nd post for 2.2L release called "PB 2.2 LEGACY GUIDE" to get you familiar with some of the new apps like ViPER
    * Please note that the full screen contact picture when receiving a call is now selectable as an option in Phone.apk By default is off so you just need to check that on

    Xposed Installer/ App Settings

    a. Open Xposed Installer, press Install/Update. It will ask you to reboot but don't do it yet
    b. Go to MODULES Tab and select "Xposed App Settings"
    b. Now reboot your device...DONE
    You can now configure Per-DPI- App via Xposed App Settings. To get tabletUI look on settings, email, gmail and other apps, you may use a 220dpi (or a value close to this) and 800x1280 screen dpi.

    Nova Launcher Fine Tuning Guide
    a. First check if there is a "data" folder on your sd-card
    b. If not, extract the "data" folder as it is on your sd-card
    c. If you already have a "data" folder on your sd-card, then simply extract the "com.teslacoilsw.launcher" folder in there
    d. When rom's first boot completes, simply press the red "Restore previous nova backup" message. It will automatically recognize the backup file
    e. The name of the backup, in case you already have others, is "Nova_Tweaked_2.2L". Select it, done. No need to reboot
    f. This procedure will auto adjust launcher preferences to the best possible for speed and stability. It will also hide the apps that are accessible via settings menu. You can still adjust preferences to your taste but to show the hidden apps you need to buy nova prime.

    gps.conf edit for non-European Users
    a. Go to system/etc/gps.conf
    b. First line and replace "europe" with the continent you live in as listed below...DON'T USE COUNTRY NAMES
    "africa"
    "asia"
    "north-america"
    "south-america"
    "oceania"
    c. Save file, reboot and that's about it!
    d. It's is strongly suggested at first run, to have data enabled in order for a-gps servers to update data. And of course you need to be in open air with your gps on

    NOTE:
    The gps.conf file provided in PB, is universal. It shouldn't by any means create issues for you. It should work fast and reliable for everyone. This was done after excesive studies. If you find other gps mods, with numerous lines added, which actually make things worse, please have a look at this first http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28989-the-end-all-be-all-guide-to-your-gps/

    What is the difference between BeanStalk and PitchBlack?
    - BeanStalk is used as a base for PitchBlack. So basically PB is a modded BS rom
    - BeanStalk is a clean rom while PitchBlack is a full rom, containing gapps, various mods and selected pre-installed apps
    - PitchBlack takes the name from its signature theme which offers inverted/darker colors throught the whole system.
    - BeanStalk or PitchBlack? Want a clean rom? Choose the first! Like PitchBlack theme and additions? Choose the second. Either way it's a win-win situatiom

    PB 2.2 LEGACY GUIDE
    1. About ViPER4Android
    - FX is your main effects app for headset, speaker and bluetooth
    - XHiFi is mainly used to restore audio quality for bad sounding files. You won't be using this much
    - FX and XHiFi can work as standalone apps or together. To work together, simply choose "Compatible" mod from both apps through settings and reboot
    - All available information is located at original thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
    2. Beanstalk HALO and PA HALO)))
    - Beanstalk HALO is actually HALO itself. It's code is already merged into rom
    - PA HALO))) is an extra that can work with the above and gives you the ability to configure any app to have persistent floating notifications
    3. Beanstalk PIE and LMT
    - You have 2 PIES. Choose the one that suits you better
    4. Nexus Louder
    - I have deleted some of it's components. This should not interfere with ViPER. This should provide the louder volume on certain areas such as in-call volume. All audio effects are provided by ViPER
    5. What is "Dark Stalk"?
    This feature is included in all Beanstalk builds and I decided to include it this time. It inverts framework. Note that this cannot be applied simultaneously with pitchblack theme. I include it for those who like only a black framework while keeping apps unthemed in contrast with pitchblack that applies to various apps. So in order to use dark stalk, you need first to revert to system theme and then apply it

    Suggested Color Settings for AK Kernel
    Screens are attached below. You can use it as a reference and define your own. Also, set "Content Adaptive Brightness" to OFF.

    @itasoulas a 4.3 build is up in skyo's thread :)

    Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

    nice. The problem is that my free time after the birth of my 3rd child is so limited that I don't know if I can do this anymore. Plus the fact that I am on Cataclysm for quite some time now which feels stable and fast enough for me. Plus that if I update this rom, I also need to work on PB theme to merge changes for latest app updates. So don't want to keep you waiting. The possibilities of working again soon on anything are quite limited. Sorry guys. I want to (and makes me sad that I cannot develop in any way these days) but I simply don't have the time right now.
