Safe to say that next update will have a system ui change.

I have changed the settings a few times with the clock Mod and it is still flawless. Kind of nice to make that change without having to flash a mod ....... And it be odexed!!

So far the clock mod works flawlessly. :)

I have mixed feelings on the status bar.

I have to say though, the messaging icon sticks out because I don't think it matches the rest of the icons. Am I the only one who thinks about it?

Re: [ROM][Team VeNuM][Odexed Blue][2/3][LJ7][Holy Grail][2.4]

With an ota being official now, I will update my op one more time in the next few days with all the new changes I have been working on. I will continue to keep updates to gapps in post 2. I wont be doing MA6. Also for anyone staying with me after OTA, I will offer a modified build prop to prevent the update nag. Thanks to everyone that supported me and donated. My next phone will be GS4.

i'm staying, this rom works too well for me to consider anything else


just out of curiosity though, what does this new ota bring to the table?

• Misc bug fixes
• Voicemail application update
• SMS 3-digit support

per sprint website.

Steve already did the voicemail and someone will release an updated sms. I'm not sure what 3-digit support is anyway.

Not enough for an ota, but that's just my opinion.

I've been on your rom since I first got my SGS3 back last summer. I've tried other roms, TW, ASOP & CM10 but I always find my way back "home". I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you have put in on quite frankly THE BEST ROM I've ever used (Had the Hero, Evo & Evo 3D) Its looking like in a few months I'll be selling my SGS3 cause whatever rom your developing for, I'm going to have, LOL Once again thanks!!!!!!

Re: [ROM][Team VeNuM][Odexed Blue][2/13][LJ7][Holy Grail][2.5]

I will work on my battery mods in a bit if anyone still uses any of them.. if I don't get replies here I might not bother, as ive become accustomed to the default set of icons/pull down/toggles

Not being cynical, just asking if anyone wants them lol

I use the alternate toggles in post #2 and nothing else. I have grown to love everything else. :)


Steve, if you have time, are you going to adjust the home menu icon? Just curious...... Not being pushy. :D

Very Nice Update Steve! Really like the clock mod. Thanks!

My Dropbox has version 2.5 in it now...

My battery mods are updated for version 2.5.... (not sure if they are still being used)

If Steve adds future updated apps, I will keep them in my Dropbox link in my signature also. I plan on staying on my SGS3 for now.

    Directions:

    1. Nand
    2. Full Wipe!
    3. Flash Rom

    Recommendations:

    1. Nova Users go to settings/look and feel/color theme and set a nice solid blue theme color
    2. Go to developer options and set all three animation scales to 0.5x. See if checking "Force GPU rendering" gives you a better experience
    3. Open SuperSU, go to settings/theme and set theme to device default
    4. For brightness slider in your pulldown - Go to settings/Display/Display brightness slider
    5. Go to Settings/Date and Time. Set all your clock options. Center, AM/PM, day or no day.
    6. For name customization on pulldown - edit data/eri.xml with text editor. Change Odexed Blue to whatever you want
    7. Never let the market update Nova, Gmail, Gplus, YouTube, Dropbox, Hangouts, Gmusic, Play Store, Gnow, Maps, Sprint Voicemail, SuperSU. Wait for me to post a flashable update.
    8. Go to settings, applications extras/toggle settings and choose which toggles you want to use and which order you want them to show in your pulldown. There are 23 choices.
    9. Keep on eye on post 2 for any new developments
    10. Use Titanium backup to freeze/disable those apps you dont like or use. That way, if something goes awry, you can easily unfreeze/re-enable. You have more than enough space. Dont worry about freeing the space by deleting apps blindly.
    11. Download Screen Off and Lock by Katecca from the market. It has the old CRT animation shut off. Program a Nova gesture to your Screen Off and Lock and that way you dont have to use a hard button to turn off your phone.


    BEFORE REPORTING ANY ISSUES:
    1. Make sure you are on LATEST version
    2. Make sure you did not dirty flash and performed a FULL wipe prior to flash
    3. Make sure you are on the ORIGINAL stock kernel included with the rom

    DOWNLOAD

    Closing Thread

    I am going to close this thread now as I am will be focusing on the Note III. To best stay in touch with my future work on the new device, be sure and join the Odexed Blue Hangout by PMing me your gmail address.

    I would like to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed this project and the excellent people that have helped keep it going. From my assistants, benefactors, and team members that have supported me, I send you a heartfelt thank you and God bless.

    I can say that my future projects will always stay true to my basic ideals. Remaining odexed, a good solid blue color scheme, inverted, and attention to detail. I invite you to join me on the Note III device but if you cant, I understand.

    Also, please remember that this rom does not expire. It will work on your SIII forever. Do not think that it no longer is a valid rom. You can stay odexed and Blue for as long as you own your SIII. This has been an amazing rom and I too will miss it dearly.

    Stay in touch and as always, Stay Odexed, my friends..

    I am just wondering how much interest there would be in a MAJOR odexed blue update...

    would include..
    Fully themed and inverted Calendar Widget
    Fully functional Multi Window
    Insane Clock Mod

    Just saying.. maybe
    31
    At this point, I still have not started on MD4. I am pretty happy with MB1 as is and I am hoping that it is finished for good. I do tentatively plan on starting MD4 at some point but this is a busy time of year for me at work. I will soon have the summer off, however. I am waiting a bit to see if the prices fall on the GS4 so that is up in the air right now too. Anyways, I hope that the few of you left still enjoy my MB1. For now.. I am just going to take it easy. Thanks to everyone that continues to support this project.
