ktb83 for some brand new editing to the system and framework to give the rom a more overall ice cream sandwich appearance..and much more actually..im to tired to remember it all but there was a fair bit of editing by ktb that will make for a better rom overall. thanks ktb :)

Lol, yeah I'm still up. Downloading now. I'll flash it, test it out, then get back to you.

EDIT: Tested it, and it works out good. Had no problems with it, and it worked right from the get go. Looks like this one has potential Curtis, nice job :)

Just use the link that Curtis posted above, flash it, and you're done.

just noticed that the status bar has lost its ICS coloring for the clock and it would appear so has the 3G icons and signal bars. did drop down menus and phone theme properly?


edit: I think I know why the coloring,etc isn't there. I'll check it and upload a fix for it in a day or so. still ok to use until then.


edit 2: temp fix is to flash this theme right after installing ROM then reboot. everything should be properly themed. http://androidforums.com/elite-all-things-root/623326-ics-elite-theme-harmonia.html

From seeing the ICS theme that you made, the drop down menu and some other stuff were not themed. But, themeing of messaging, browser, and the dialer look awesome!

Things that need to be fixed:
Notification dropdown
3g and signal icons

That's all I saw wrong, I'm pretty sure Hashtag pointed out some more in his screenshots. I wont post the link because this still needs a little work.

Great job Curtis, keep at it :D

I overlooked my systemui.apk of all things. all anyone has to do to get the full effect of the theming is to flash my theme above right after flashing the ROM,then reboot. it will restore proper systemui.apk. I'll upload an update with some other things done in a few days.


edit: working on the changes now plus some additional stuff. will hopefully have the fixed download up by this evening. adding in k-9 mail and a few other things.

the dialer should be themed in this rom. its not themed in the theme. which systemui/framework which are the only things in the theme that are themed. im updating the rom now. browser is now fully themed along with all other theme elements fixed that were not and added k-9 mail client. should have it up in about two hours,want to finish one last thing on it. then you can just download the rom and get all theming and extras without using the theme.

Right, I understand that, but I want to stay on Harmonia.
No offense, but I don't see a reason to switch to anything else except a higher Android Version.
Thanks dude.

glad you clarified that. I thought he meant the theme issues.

I've tried some smali editing of our current SystemUI.apk to add back the 1x icon. I've also tried adding in a SystemUI.apk from an AOSP 2.3.7 build I've been working on. That SystemUI.apk definitely has the 1x code still in it. Neither has worked and I'm guessing there is something in /framework responsible for it.

I also threw in a Settings.apk from my AOSP build which makes tethering options, manual time/date settings show up as well as some other things. As expected the native tethering feature produces a temporary error 67. Setting the date/time manually works only momentarily, until something behind the scenes takes over timekeeping again.

Is that ASOP build for the elite?
