Exactly
Even I ported avatar rom and had same issue.


@ op
Copy all avatar rom related lines from port to base in build.prop

Or contact the original developer

Edit: @bippi79 please look into this issue

Can themes be changed??
And do avatar themes work?

Nope. I think its because the Avatar Rom is a Nightly build and all the stable builds are based on Android 4.2.2. If Avatar Rom comes in a stable 4.3 I think then the themes will work.

I don't think that is the issue
I asked ppl who have used 4.3 version and themes can be switched

Either the rom isn't recognizing itself top b an avatar rom or it's not recognizing i9500 as a device supported

No dude. Same issue. Themes cannot be changed due to old avatar rom. But it boots up with the Coral blue theme which you have given in the build.prop

What version of avatar is this ported from? Looks like you're missing a couple of lines in the build.prop. Add ro.themeengine.version=101 to the build.prop and this should start working for you.

The formatting on that line seems to be a little off. Also there is a change in the frameworks.jar that is required for this to work correctly as well. That might have broken something. If CM or some other ROM has support for i9500, I would be more than happy to compile a version for you guys here!

Yeah there is a working CM for 9500. But I replaced the app and framework folder from avatar rom to CM 10.2 and I got NFC errors. So I replaced all NFC related files from Avatar to CM 10.2 and was able to boot without any problems. For the CM 10.2 download please refer this link CM 10.2 discussion
