Yeah i was uploading again....Sorry

Just tried it and it wont boot at all.

Is this a full ROM? because if so, I have figured out how to fix WiFI thanks to tickerguy.It was due to permission set in the updater-script. Pwn had left some out in his ROM's so wifi would not work. I haven't got my stock ROM's uploaded yet but i can share with you the permissions that need to be set!

Also what about a gingerbread theme port to this phone? I would love me some of that! Nice work though it looks awesome!

i've just flashed it about 30x times in the last few hours im sure it boots; make sure to clear your partitions in cwm and then flash ROM. Also maybe try to re download; it might be corrupt because i was uploading so often while you were downloading.

Yeah this is a full ROM using my edited update script peace-mealed from tickerguy's & austrie's scripts so WiFi does Work.

Yes i can do a gingerbread Theme port i will work on it tomorrow.

I did what you said. Wiped data/Factory reset then wiped dalvik cache and installed the black.zip. Rebooted and it was stuck at the M logo.

 

[AtticTRON]

I think the problem is that the umph kernel also did no boot on my device because mine was one of the oddballs so i had to use the umph oddball kernel. Maybe if you made the rom with the oddball kernel it would boot?

Are you one of the oddball phones? Because i have Umph Kernel v1 in this ROM so try flashing stock kernel or oddball kernel after flashing ROM.
I am sure this boots with or without any issues just flashed it again after a complete wipe while i was replying to this message and it just booted fine.

I'll Have an oddball version up in a few minutes......

Ok thanks. I'm still going to try and flash the oddball kernel on top of your rom to see if it works.

Edit: Yay it works!!!

Oddball version is up but you should be good now........ Glad to hear its working Thanks for testing.

So far I love it! The icons and the status bar look great. The only thing that bugs me is the color of the time and the carrier logo is barely visible. Is there a way that I can change the clock color to maybe blue so that it goes with the rest of the theme?

I'll Recompile the framework some time tomorrow and upload an alternate version with a blue clock; as far as the carrier logo i was trying to make it as invisible as possible so i probably won't change that right away. This is still just a work in progress so there will be more changes soon.....

Sounds good.The red just feels out of place but Ill still be using your Rom from now on instead of the stock. It looks so much better than the stock one.

Haha Nice. Hey, I also noticed that when I update one of the apps that have the new icons it changes them back to the original one.

Dude if you could get a gingerbread theme out i would thank you so much! Im no good a going from a light theme to a dark theme mainly cause I don't know which all text colors I have to edit, and like I dont know how to get the menu to go from white background to black! I can decompile .dex files and i know how to use smali and baksmali I just dont know what I'm looking for!

I'm right there with you on knowledge of code locations but i'm gonna try to get all the kinks worked out i just have to keep trolling forums to piece together the information i need. I keep a linux box running all the time for coding and testing so i just need to get all the right framework files together and then i can get the text configured correctly. I'll have a download ready within the next 24hrs no problem. Wheee gingerbread time!!!
