Hello all,
First, I should say I'm a noob to the forums, so greetings! I have found lots of useful information on these forums, so hopefully someone can answer my question. I recently flashed eVoKINGS UNleashed Ultra Blakk R3 to my Evo. I added the mods from the Gravity on Ice mod. So far, all the mods work EXCEPT for the Gravity on Ice custom icons. Pardon me if this was a noob thing to do, but I tried flashing it first. But then, I read about Desktop Visualizer off the market. So, I downloaded that and tried replacing icons using that. However, even that is not working.
I'm a bit flustered here and am not sure what to do to get these awesome icons working on my phone.
Can anyone help me out here? Big thanks to whoever can!

1. Download an app from the market called folder organizer. They offer a free version that will allow you to change all the icons and folders you want.
2. Copy all the glass icons to a folder on your SD Card.
3. Unmount your phone from the computer
4. Open Folder Organizer
5. Click on apps.
6. To the right of the app will be a down arrow. Click it and choose Icon
7. Select 'Android Image Gallery'
8. Select 'Gallery'
9. Find the folder that contains the glass icons and select it
10. Select the icon you wish to use with this application.
11. Exit out of folder organizer
Now add it to your home screen:
1. Long press on home screen and select Shortcut
2. Select Folder Organizer item
3. Select Apps
4. Choose the application that you modified
Thats it! customized.
You can do this with labels and add your apps to the labels. Then on the second part of the instruction select Folder Organizer link instead and add the custom folder with your custom apps as well.
Folder Organizer kicks butt and has a tone of options. It also allows you to change the mail icon which used to change back to default with other apps like better cut.
hope this helps.

You can flash it through recovery, if you are using custom recovery like cwm, etc...
Please give it a try, hope you'll like it.
I've removed some apps from samsung that i thought were useless, but if you want, you can add them to the rom before flashing it (procedure given below).
It includes:
Kernel- Darkcore 4.1, which includes voodoo sound v10.
0Both latest Indian modem and CSC (from ddjv9)
overscroll glow (blue).
RAM Booster patches. and SD card Speed Fix.

Added some apps (latest Versions) - GO Launcher EX, File Expert, VooDoo Control, etc.
Stock browser with user-agent selection and unlimited tabs.
Heavily Themed Dialer, Phone, SMS app, Jog Tabs, etc. Transparent effect.
Statusbar icons from my previous rom, the "all circular" ones.
Pattern Unlock icons changed to FroYo, i liked the transparent froyo look better than the dull gingerbread look.
14 Customizable statusbar toggle buttons. ( use "QuickPanel Settings" app in the rom).
'Galaxy S - Bios Load' Boot animation.
SMS - No contact limit + No MMS convert after 3 sms.
Extended PowerMenu + CRTOff + Clear Glass Lock.
Dialog boxes and pop-up windows have black crystal-glass transparent look.
Lots more fixes, can't remember them all right now.
HOW TO INSTALL:
If u do not have CWM recovery, ie.-
if you are using "STOCK" rom, ie the official samsung rom, (or any rom that does not has CWM recovery), flash CWM Recovery first-
[If u have CWM recovery already, skip to STEP B.]
STEP A:
Flashing CWM Recovery....
**IMPORTANT NOTE** - Before flashing the CWM kernel, make sure you copy the rom zip file [ STEP C, Part 1 ].
CWM recovery kernel is a bit unstable and can sometimes give problems but its only role is to provide CWM recovery and when you complete step C, the kernel is replaced by DarkCore kernel which is very stable and the problem is solved.So if your phone goes into a boot-loop after step A, directly go to step C and complete the procedure.
Download "CWM recovery.zip" (link given below).
Extract the zip, there are two files- "odin" and "pda"....
Open odin, and in the window that appears, press 'PDA' button and browse for the 'pda' file from the zip.
Then put your phone in download mode as follows-
Turn phone off.
Hold Volume Down.
Now hold Home.(while still pressing the vol down key)
Now hold Power.(while still pressing both the previous keys)
Wait until you see samsung logo.
Release Power. (still holding onto others).
Wait until you see the download screen.
Release other buttons.
Then connect your Phone to pc, through usb,,,, odin window should show a yellow line now, after that, press 'start' on odin. When the flashing is complete, your phone will automatically reboot — and when you see the Samsung logo, you can safely unplug the cable. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
IMPORTANT Note: If ODIN gets stuck and doesn’t seem to be doing anything, or you get a FAIL message (with red background) in ODIN, do the following:
Disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery, re-insert it, turn phone on in Download mode again, and do the procedure again from Step 5.
STEP B (OPTIONAL):
Selecting which apps you want to install in the rom-
Download the System apps (link given below).
Extract the "Rom zip file" (link given below) {Latest is v2.0, but can also install older versions if u want.} to some folder,,, it should contain 5 folders- data, meta-inf,script,system,updates.
Go to folder 'system' -> 'app'.There u'll see some .apk files.samsung had many useless apps included in the stock rom, and i remove some of them to make the rom fast. but if you want them back, open the 'System apps.zip' file (link given below), and simple copy the ones you want back from that folder to the 'System' -> 'App' folder in your extracted rom files.
Now, for example, lets say, u don't like the Default samsung 'Music Player' and u use some other player from market. now, that default player is just a waste for you, cuz u don't need it and it's consuming precious space, so u can delete the "musicplayer.apk" file in 'System' -> 'app' folder in your extracted rom, so that it wont install.
After that, go back to the extracted rom files folder, and select all the five folders- data, meta-inf,script,system,updates. and right click-> send to -> compressed(zipped)folder.You'll get a new zip file, rename it to "Romv2.0", now when you flash it,,,, u'll have all the apps u wanted to (the ones you put in 'app' folder in system folder of your rom).So u can chose which apps you want and which not.
If u wanna know which .apk file corresponds to what app, search around on xda, or ask me....
Do not try to delete just any random apk from 'System' -> 'App' folder, as it might be some vital system app. Do it only for the ones you are sure about. ask me if any further queries.
STEP C:
Flashing the rom-
Copy the "Romv2.0.zip" to your phone (internal sd card {16GB}, not external)
Go to "recovery mode" as follows-
Turn phone off.
Hold Volume Up.
Now hold Home.(while still pressing the vol down key)
Now hold Power.(while still pressing both the previous keys)
Wait until you see samsung logo.
Release Power. (still holding onto others).
Wait until you see the Recovery screen.
Release other buttons.
In recovery mode, use volume keys to go Up or Down, and Power key to Select something.
Select 'Install zip from SD card'
Browse to "Romv2.0.zip" and select it.
Let the process finish.
And voila, you are done.!!!

Looks exciting... Please post some screenshots

@Ritesh, there are a lot of typos in your OP. Hope you find time to correct them. I can help you if you want.
PS : When you type in English, think English. BTW, I have given this thread a 5-star rating.
hm,hm....
Well,, I'm not very comfortable with laptop keyboard and my external keyboard was not working, so...
But I'll correct them soon enough.

I am already using your ROM since yesterday night & its really good. Yea, the All Circle notification idea looks good in your ROM.
Ritesh, I think you need to expand your Title to reflect the Base, the Modem, & the CSC. You need to make your thread more clear in the Title that this is the BEST ROM available for Indian user.
PS : I have some issues with your ROM. Sometimes randomly & at times when I start the phone, the graphics get corrupted & turn to a hue of green where you can't know what's what. Is this an issue with the theme? I have been using other ROMs & have never faced this problem.
thanx for the initiation !!
@ragin
i know what u're talking about, that issue is not with theme, it was never there till i was using other kernels, then i changed back to darkcore 2.9 and this problem was gone, check the first post, i've mentioned it there in the end, will upload the rom with new kernel and update the link soon.
apparently, galaxian v1.1 kernel doesn't likes the voodoo color fix too much.
the green color at startup is normal, its there till voodoo color fix initiates, just like u have 'media scanning' going on at startup, its normal.
but if u mess with voodoo control settings too much, it starts happening at random times too.
Guys, version 1.2 is out now...... you might wanna check it out.

Sense styled recent appsFor DARKSIDE UVLE1 v7
Simple SystemUI mod to change stock recent apps menu
(menu you get when you hold home button)
to Sense styled (horizontal scroll) with working horizontal
view.
InformationThis version is customized a little, with transparent background
& multiple colors available for the background.
Choosing optionsto install options, simply replace file in flashable zip
'vrtheme' is equivalent to root folder,
so 'vrtheme/system/' is system,
Backgroundsbackgrounds are in 'vrtheme/system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable'
replace:
status_bar_recents_background.xml
FILES ATTACHED ARE NOT .TXTs!!
Alternate resources.arscif you want full rotation (4-way) + lockscreen rotation,
replace
'vrtheme/system/framework/framework-res.apk/resources.arsc'=
with the one in
'*resources.rotation+lock.zip' attached ('*' being version used.. LE4 is comming)
*resources.stock.zip is stock with thumbnails resized, no other edits
Alternate versionfile tagged 'v1' is identical to alternate,
but icons are directly at the bottom of thumbnail,
similar to first screens
InstallationSimply download the version you want,
make the customizations you want (background/etc.) using root explorer/7zip
1.) move zip to sdcard
2.) reboot recovery
3.) select 'install zip from sdcard'
4.) select the zip & install
5.) reboot
to go back to stock:
(creation of the zip might be done on next release for now some user knowledge is needed)
1.) extract flashable & make folder 'system' in new folder
2.) move /sdcard/vrtheme-backup/system/[app & framework]
folders to system folder you created in step one
3.) delete vrtheme folder
4.) repack META-INF & system folders ONLY
5.) move new zip to sdcard
6.) flash via recovery again
Bblue is similar to ICS blue and 4a_darkblue is a dark blue that mixes well,
Just a few alternitaves to stock*Just some info..
Screnshot - File - Colorcode used
BG_green - ee_green - 00ee00
BG_grey - 4a_grey - 4a4a4a
BG_blue - C6_blue - 0000c6
BG_red - C5_red - c50000
BG_red_orange - FF20_orange - ff2000
BG_darkblue - 4a_Darkblue - 00004a
**Notes***reflection is not in this release, have to finish up the smali
*all attached screens are @ 190dpi
(with this mod all that might scale differently is the task button)
*only the last 2 screens are of current build
DARKSIDE TLLE4EditionMulti-DPI / Tweaked edition
[COLOR="red]Information:[/COLOR]
This version is for strictly for Darkside TLLE4 build, and lightly tweaked (not to much to say its not "stock" )
This version is geared for 100% true multi-dpi, meaning, no matter the dpi set by the user, the User Interface (UI)
Will remain consistant/proportional, this is achieved by simply setting corrected px (pixel) values rather then dip
Values when designing your layout (unless you want it scaled ofc).
[COLOR="red"]Installation:[/COLOR]
1.) Download zip & copy to /sdcard
2.) Reboot recovery
3.) Select "Install zip from sdcard" & select zip & install
4.) Reboot & enjoy
Notes:
> the xml's will work on ANY GSII TW based rom, but editing the smali is still a must & you MUST set fhe dimensions in values.xml
> nothing has changed smali wise yet sinse last release (no reflection yet, still determined but no time..)
> Installer is based on VRtheme flasher credits go to origional author, i just edited for proper mountpoints, etc..
> plz no comments like "this isnt like actual sense style", i wasnt going for 100%, its a customized version ofc
> this does replace resources.arsc in framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk, meaning it might break critical theme parts if you have one installed
Updated...
Wow.. 15dls on UVLE1 version & no comments?
i really need help here :- i am on lollipop 5.02 Lg g2 ls980 and flashed the vrtheme . Now i am totally stuck. i cannot delete / rename / cannot change my locker screen wall paper / cannot update PRL etc & cannot install any apk and my system UI is acting very strange .
Can you kindly help me to get back to the stock UI. I have so much data on my phone that i cannot afford to factory reset also. Please help me out here.
This mod will change default apps UI to look like G3:
Contact, Phone, Setting, Lockscreen, Home, Message, Camera
Little icon change for:
Internet, videos, calculator, gallery
How to:
1. You must have a file manager for editing Example.apk, X-PLORE file manager is always highly recommended:
2. Download zip from attachments, open mod & copy(replace) "res" folder in Example.apk.
3. Replace your new Example.apk with the original one in system/app.
4. You MUST always Restart your phone to get the right result! Possible Force closes before restart are normal
Done! Enjoy!
Flashable zip is here!please reply the result
----------editing apk files with X-plore file manager:
hold on an apk file & select "open as archive" & then you can modify APKs easily
----------how this mod works?
this mod will replace only some pictures in Example.apk
If you don't like a change, easily delete its picture from mod folder & copy pics again to the original copy of Example.apk.
!! remember to have the original STOCK APK files somewhere safe !!
I suggest to copy the system/"app" folder somewhere safe
If you want to have changeable status bar & navbar colors same as action bar(flat style like my screenshot, you can use FlatStyleColoredBars! Even on 4.1 like myself. All the credits goes to ibocharov, that's a great module & worthy to buy the pro if you like!
BUT IT'S ONLY FOR 4.3+! BUT NO PROBLEM, install Xinstaller Xposed module & disable checking sdk version & it will be installed & will work on 4.1 jellybean perfect!
NOTE: use the 0.63 or lower versions of flatstylecoloredbars on jellybean, the newer versions cause serious force closes! If you've already faced the problem, use Xposed recovery mode:
Restart the phone,once you see boot animation, press volume down four times or more!
That's how I solve the problem on my (locked bootloader-no custom recovery) device!
The 0.63 version that I'm already using it, is perfect for jellybean,I've attached it(edited,works with 4.1 without other modules )
If you want to have G3 style notification bar & lollipop Navigation bar on your Optimus G like the screenshot, here is the place:

The problem is my phone is not unlocked & I don't know how to make flashable zip!
But I make you sure even by deleting the apps above, phone will boot normally(tested) & you can replace or copy your original apps, they will be restored FOR SURE.
Also that's not that much hard to modify them! At most 10 minutes for all of them!
