ok ... so i flashed this rom ... its smooth , no FCs , and no bugs that can be observed in the first go except one ... the limit background processes option in the dev options doesnt stick to max 3 or max 4 after a reboot... it goes back to standard ....
other than this , i feel this rom is worth using ...
a feature request that i can make here is allowing the user to choose the toggles to be displayed ... and a kill all button in the task manager ...
hope you keep it updated ;D

Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy S(galaxysmtd) - Updated[Feb 24, 2

Flashed the rom... I loved it... The themes have improved and yes the boot animation feature at last! Loving it!!!
No noticeable bugs till now...
I am just thinking, such an amazing rom, why is there such a lukewarm reception to it?

Although the forum is quite we had lot of installs for galaxysmtd. When we upgraded the ROM to 4.2.2, galaxysmtd was in the first batch to get an update.

We would love to get feedback so we can improve upon the ROM. What you guys like, what features you want, what themes you prefer etc. We cannot guarantee it will happen overnight but we will implement in future updates.

Which version of ROM are using. If you using 4.1.2 version, please let us know your feedback on weebo app. Its not available in 4.2.2 but we will add it in next release.

Weebo is a tasker like application with a better UI and easy to use.

Re: [ROM][JB] [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy S(galaxysmtd) - Updated[Feb 24, 2

I have been using 4.2.2 for a day now... The battery is good and everything works...
one feature that i am seriously looking forward to is mixing theme elements... Lock screen from one theme, fonts from some other and so on... Will You guys do something about it in the next builds?
Another thing... I love the avatar boot logo but the sense theme changes it, could you upload a zip file for the original or steps to get it back...
And the last thing, is. 4. 1.2 faster and stabler than 4.2.2?

Customized theming for different components is in works but it will be in future updates. No ETA as of now. We have introduced theming boot animation in this release so as you apply the theme the boot animation changes. Reapply the old theme to get boot animation back.

We know 4.1.2 is faster and stabler than 4.2.2. As CM10.1 matures, avatarrom will also be stable.

Hi! Downloaded and flashed new version. Everything seems to be ok. But where is "reboot to recovery"?
In power menu just "reboot" without options. Otherwise great ROM! Battery life is quite good. Thanks!

Go to settings -> About phone. Tap on the build number for 7 times to get developer options. You have to enable it from there. Its the new CM feature.

    Explanations and facts. Our status as of now.

    Lately there has been a lot of confusion as to our approach to AvatarROM and the support scenario for all the various devices. We have had a lot of negative, and must I say, important feedback, and we have also seen a slight wane in our download numbers.

    First off the bat, let us lay it out there in front of you that AvatarROM is still up and running and very much alive. There have been a few problems lately, but more about that later. We would like to ensure to our users that our development pattern is still chugging like a well oiled machinery and soon things will be right back on track.

    We received a lot of flak for the last 4.3 build that we came out with, which actually had a major flaw in the lockscreen, putting devices into continuous bootloops. Our immediate solution was to advice users not to upgrade at all, and to those who had, to downgrade to the previous build. Although we ended up promising users that we will soon release a new build, unfortunately it never ended up happening. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have not been able to push out a new build to our users, nor have we released any update for all those devices still on 4.2.2. The good news though, is that we will soon have a new build up and running. We are working on it and it should see the light of day soon.

    The second problem, and in a way, a more grievous one was that a lot of older builds and in some cases, all the builds for specific device models got erased from our servers, as a result of which new users were never able to download our ROM. This lead to a lot of confusion, and in some cases, agitation that we might be wrapping up, which as we cleared up, is not the problem. We were trying to tweak the back- end servers and in the process, lost a lot of those older images. By the time we could salvage them, it was too late. Currently we are in the process of tweaking the servers (really carefully) and make sure that most of those missing builds are available.

    So yes, in a nutshell, we really dropped the ball this time. We will like to thank all our users who stood valiantly alongside us, even though aware of the issues. We are looking into solving all these problems and should be able to alleviate them altogether in the coming days. So please be patient, just for a few more days.

    Thanks

    Avatar Theme Creator Tool

    Avatar Team is proud to present the first beta release of Theme creator tool. It is a QT based desktop application to edit themes.

    Themes created using this tool are compatible with Avatar ROM and Cyanogen ROM. Similarly you can edit both Avatar Themes and Cyanogen themes.

    Download the theme apk and open it using the theme creator tool. You will see a screen to edit the resources. After editing the resources, save the apk and install on the device.

    What you can do with this tool ?

    1. There are 1000's of resources that can be themed in Android. We change only a small set of them and if you want to theme more resources you can use this tool.

    2. We make some mistakes when creating a theme. Eg: SMS time stamp color was not proper in some of our themes. You can now use this tool to fix it.

    3. We cannot satify all the users with a theme. Eg: If you want to have a darker orange shade in denim theme you can now do it using this tool.

    4. You can import an existing theme, change some of the resources we modified and you have a brand new theme.

    Upcoming features:

    1. Ability to create a new theme from scratch.

    2. Import MiUi mtz theme file and convert it to theme apk which is compatible with AvatarROM and CyanogenROM.

    3. Upload your new themes to our server so it can be used by other AvatarROM users.

    4. Html5 based new theme creator tool which is more elegant and user friendly.

    Download links

    Windows - Link

    Linux - Link

    Mac - Link

    As always we love to hear your feedbacks and comments. You might feel little lost with all the resources that are in Android world and we are on standby to help.

    If you create a new theme and want to upload to our server, send us a PM and we will give access for you to upload the theme.
