Your optimism and support is appreciated.

I appoligize, I honeslty thought we were SOL.

I am sorry ChevyCam , I was one of the first 25 to install your first version for the D3!

is there any chance you might be open to creating a couple different themed versions of the next release?

You might be in for a nice surprise! I am nearning completion of my v5.0 update! Its still based on 5.7.906. The new version contains a Jellybean 4.2.x hybrid theme (still a WIP), better compression, smaller apk sizes, and HOPEFULLY, better performance!

 

[chevycam94]

Here are three screenshots of my work so far. Im going to just breeze it over, and see if there are any last minute adjustments before I make the next release. No, it wont be 100% accurate, but I think there is more to theme than I have the ability to. But its certainly a HUGE improvement!

And NO, in the third screenshot, the quicksettings are actually VERY easy to see. Its not a grey checkered background, but more of soft grey solid. Screenshot app didnt do a very good job there.

Well, the final v5.0 is uploading right now. It will be available sometime tonight. I have to get some things done around town, and will finish up the post this evening.

Hi, wanted to install 5.0 and the first thing I did was install Safestrap 3.05. I had old version 1.08 of Safestrap on the phone and when I installed the apk and launched it, it said "Old version of recovery installed" I pressed install recovery, but after I rebooted the phone, I'm stuck in the old stock boot loop.
I can get to the stock recovery menu. How can I use it to get the phone to boot again?
Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind. Had to go through SBF-ing it back to OTA .890, updating to .906 and using motofail to root.

I had the same issue, and didnt find any better a way to do it than this:

1: Download the FXZ (SBF) file in the OP, and flash back to complete stock using RSD Lite 5.5
2: Root and all using Pete's Root Tools (link in the OP as well)
3: From there, install Hashcodes 3.05 SafeStrap
4: Reboot, go into SafeStrap, and switch to ROM SLOT 1 (so we leave the stock system alone, just in case)
5: Create the slot with whatever stats you want, and then Activate it
6: Just to be safe, wipe; CACHE, DALVIK CACHE, FACTORY RESET, and SYSTEM
7: Go back and install the ROM
8: Dont need to wipe CACHE/DALVIK before you reboot (at least I didnt when testing)
9: ENJOY!
