I believe when I flashed this theme, it took a little over 5 minutes,
patience is a virtue,
when it is complete, it has a message that states is is complete.
wow....it takes over 5 min. to install?!?! damn...i didn't know...the progress bar would go all the way to the right off the screen and i felt like i waited for a long time but it didn't complete so i would shut it off and try again....i'll give it another try if I gain the courage....:good:

It takes a looooong time to replace all the files in the theme of this magnitude. Kinda gives you an idea how much work goes into themeing an entire ROM ! ;)

Updated to latest rom and kernel. Reinstalled Holowiz 1.5, still looking great...

Any way to fix browsers top search bar, it is not blending right when you scroll.

I guess I'm understanding the issue.... what exactly are you refering to? Do you have a screenshot?

New to shostock! Love it so far but was missing some of my customizing with Aokp and ran across this. After installing my notification bar has vanished and every time I attempt to go into settings in go launcher it crashes and goes back to the home screen. Any ideas?

I've had zero issues using this. But I'm also not using Go Launcher. I've used touchwiz and now using Nova with no issues

Foe some reason this isn't working for me. I flash, get a normal bootup, and nothing themed. Any ideas? I'm on 3.0.2 by the way.

I think it may only be compatible with versions 2.5.x and lower. I'm about to try it on 2.5.9 from February. I haven't updated since then for whatever reason

Update: at first flashing this theme didn't do anything for me either, but I flashed the revert, and then the theme and it works great.

I like the theme! It gives an interesting change while retaining the TW functionality. I still like a lot of what Sho originally had, but there are cool things too like the Nexus dialer look and small dots for the lock screen and so on. Its cool to have a visual change and getting to stay on Shostock3. Thanks, awesome theme, great job.

If his theme includes xml's that could be why and using his revert first creates a mismatched Rom. Probably not a good idea but your choice.

I hope it doesn't cause any issues but I'll redo some app backups and if it goes wrong I'll use that as an opportunity to flash to your latest SS3 ROM.

great theme!thanks you so much

Incredible.

This is honestly the best theme I've come across yet. Not too light, not too dark, and the icons, menus, etc are very tastefully designed.

Thank you for sharing this, OP. My phone has never looked this great.

Thanks for the PM Teknodad1974.

Sorry Folks... I've been out of pocket for a bit (on the road with work). I'm on the SGS 4 now and no longer have my SGS 2. There is no reason why I can't keep up the theme though. ;)

No XML's are in this theme it contains only PNG's. The theme is a major overhaul to TouchWiz and takes about 10 min to flash (it is huge!). I'm downloading the full SHOStock 3.0.2 and will check everything over. Hopefully I can have the OP updated in the next few days.

I won't be able to test it though. Once I update the OP, I'll be looking for your feedback to ensure it is working.

Thanks for your patience and understanding...

Is there any way to make the phone keys standard sound and not the water sound? Also everything else is working flawlessly... Great Job..! :D
