[THEME][EI22]Special midNIGHT ROM Autism Awareness Theme+LP+ Icons +Boot Animation

I’m sure most of you in here are familiar with the midNIGHT rom. I hope most of you are also familiar with ptfdmedic and his blog on lostandtired.com. If you’re not, I would recommend it.
Johnny and I were talking about a week ago about doing some icon set’s and making skinned Launcher Pros to match. We started working on the icons in the development thread I started about 2 weeks ago here. Now when you get people working together on a project, ideas just seem to start flowing. One of the ideas was to do some sets based on an Autism theme to try and do our small part to help spread Autism awareness. We both did a set using very different ideas, so the end result is sets that don’t look at all alike.
Our thanks go to:
ptfdmedic – midNIGHT rom
Timberwolf – Taking the time to answer questions
darren.wlsn1 – Just because he’s DW.
I would also like to thank Johnny Bravo. I couldn’t ask for someone better to work with on something like this.
ZiggSVO for providing the puzzle lockscreen, and talking me into updating this
Sbrissen & Maddoggin for the lockscreen mod
qbking77 for the new base
All of the midNIGHT rom beta testers: chadit, megabiteg, Science Guy, dnathan13, d/\sh, wudstock54, capitaltpt, flyers2114, jmkasperek1

Autism Awareness Theme:
Here is what's included:
Themed framework-res.apk
Themed twframework-res.apk
Settings, TSMParts & androidpolicy.jar for the lockscreen mod
There are also 4 sets of Icons that can be used with desktop visualizer.
The instruction for the icon sets are further down in the OP.
Just so everyone knows, this is my first publicly released theme for an android device.
I hope you like my work.

The icons in the set work very well with Desktop Visualizer which you can download from the market. Just unzip the files somewhere on your SD card.
To install Launcher Pro you must uninstall any previous version. These have been resigned so you cannot install over what you have. You can backup your setting then restore then after install. Everything except widgets will be right where you left it.
These icon sets and launcher pro can obviously be installed on other devices besides the Epic.
Here’s our first version.
Here’s the second version.
Give us some feedback and let us know what you think. And please, go give Johnny Bravo some love by clicking the thank button on the next post.
Johnny's wallpapers and boot animation coan be found on post #2 here.

I read ptfdmedic's blog www.lostandtired.com almost every day, and one of the things that I have learned is that many children with Autism never really grow up mentally. A 12 year old child with Autism might have the mental state of a 3 or 4 year old. So when Shane mentioned his idea to me about creating Autism Awareness themed Launcher Pro icons an idea just flashed into my head. What is more reminiscent of a child than crayon drawings? I have two daughters, one is 7 and one is 8, and I asked them to help me with this. After trying to explain Autism to them (which I'm not sure I did a very good job, but I will keep trying) I asked them to help me draw a set of icons for my phone. They both love playing games on my Epic, so both of the jumped up and down and said "YES!" I grabbed a big bucket of crayons, several sheets of paper and opened the laptop and showed them all the icons the Shane had made and asked them to draw them. The three of us spent all afternoon drawing icons and they had a great time. Then I scanned them and used Photoshop to build a frame and put a set of LP icons together. When I loaded them on my phone my kids thought it was the coolest thing in the world that something they had drawn was now on my phone.
I could never come close to understanding the struggles that parents of autistic children go through, but Rob's blog helps me see through his eyes. I urge everyone to that installs these icon sets to please share the story of where you got them. If someone says "cool icons", don't just let it end there. Explain to them why its made up of puzzle pieces, and what it stands for, and then give them Rob's website www.lostandtired.com. If we can explain to just one more person what autism is and how it affect the lives of the families it touches, we will have helped out.
***Update 3/20/11*** Added custom boot animation. Thanks soooo much to optmsprim2 for helping me with the format.

Reserved for updates

Amazing job guys. I'm going to download now. This is a perfect accent to go along with a perfect rom. Thanks for all of the hard work that you all put in to make people like me happy with their phones and also getting some info out to people about a very important cause. Thanks.

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks to you guys for doing this and helping to spread Autism awareness (which I will also do with "Thanks" button). It's nice to see people do something on here like this. A project that actually means something to alot of people, not just a specific phone community/forum. They are a little too colorful for my style of themes I usually run, but regardless I am going to download them anyways, just so I can show all my other real life android nerds at work and such. Very nice concept and they came out great!
P.S I bet you had a blast with your daughters on that project! Not only were you helping others, but I'm sure they enjoyed the time spent with you just as much. Great post overall. I Love hearing things like this.

Johnny and I both thank you for that. I hope anyone in this community that has had any interactions with ptfdmedic or knows of his story is as moved by the guy as we are. Helping him get the word out about autism in this way was the least we could do.

I must say I will probably use some of those icons in my next ROM in tribute,looks good...

Thanks for the kind words and the support.

Theme added to the OP.

I fully support Autism awareness and what not, but let's please stop referring to this as (direct quote) an "Autism theme". Sounds like a theme based on Autism.

I'll respond on here even after replying to your pm; I meant no disrespect at all and I appologize if I have offended anyone or caused a ruckus of sorts. Just from a grammatical point of view, referring to the theme as an "Autism theme" is nonsensical and doesn't convey the message that this theme is intended to put across. Once again, my appologies to anyone I may have offended, I know plenty of people with Autism and I fully support spreading awareness by any means necessary. It is most certainly a serious subject and not to be taken lightly. I was simply pointing out the incorrect usage and connotation of the term "Autism theme".
Please disregard my statement if you wish, and I would be more than willing to delete my post if you, OP, feels it is necessary.

Our thoughts when putting these pieces together for every thing on the OP was that most people know what the ribbons, puzzle pieces and hearts stand for. Johnny and I were just trying to do something nice and give back at little for all of the time and energy ptfdmedic gives in all aspects of his life.
I have a couple friends that have childeren diagnosed with Autism. The daily battles they go through are something I don't know if I could deal with.
While doing this I got to make myself more aware by reading the information on the pages I would visit while gathering ideas for the theme.
In no way was it our goal to make light of Autsim in any way, shape, or form.
If anyone takes offence to anything in the thread, I appologize. Feel free to pm me so we can discuss it.
Thanks.

Funny little story

Ok, so I had put on Craigslist a few weeks that I needed my phone rooted, I would have done it but didn't have a laptop, anyways some guy emailed me charged me $15, whatever. So today I get an email from some guy who wanted to charge me $35. So I decided to troll him a little
Him: U still looking to root ur phone?? I charge 35$ to root or Jailbreak any android or iphone...i can also add free hotspot on ur phone to get internet on ur laptop/ipad. . Know any1 wanting their phone rooted or jailbroken
Me: Whoa, so you can root my phone and give me a hotspot for $35. That's awesome! But will tmobile charge me? Also is there anything else you could do to my phone to make it faster or cooler? Please let me know and how much you would charge me. Thanks
Him: No, u can use hotspot as much as u want and tmobile wont know (LIAR) , and yes I can also get rid of all those annoying ads on apps for $10. and I can also install whats called a rom on ur phone and it will make it way faster and smoother, with longee battery life and ull even get faster internet for $25. It will be like having a new phone Let me know if ur interested
Me:So all that for $70!! Sweet. My friend has the same phone and he is gonna be hating lol( I then asked him if he could meet me all the way across town and if from there we could go to his house, he said sure and if I brought my friend he would do both for $120. I told him its a deal, and told him that I would meet him there in an hour so if anything to email me back.
So an hour and a half passed and he emailed me asking where I was and that he was waiting for mwle. I then proceeded to tell him that just as me and my friend were gonna take off, I suddenly remembered I was a member of this little website called xda developers and that I no longer needed his assistance. And also to not be trying to rip off people because karma is a biatch.
He then sent me an email telling me off, calling me a bunch of names and that gas wasn't cheap,
I then sent him this pic

OP said the guy email'd him, so he didnt deliberately message the guy to troll him.
edit: Pretty damn hilarious, like you said its karma, but like others have said you kinda went too far lol should've stopped it before the guy actually went out to meet ya. Hilarious story and the Trolol pic made my day.

I don't generally post much in these threads, but you are a dbag for wasting his time and gas. How would you like it if that was done to you? He may have been way overpriced but that doesn't give you the right to be super douche.

I got a T989 as a present for my dad and gave him all the good stuff and he asked me how I was so good at this, I replied "hmm, im not. I'm just part of an awesome community."
This guy is not ripping people off. He's offering an opportunity to those who aren't on xda all day..

Question, ripping u off? Please tell me what the "non rip off" price would of been? Exactly u can't set a price cuz its not determined the honest price he should charge.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I didn't really find it funny. Everyone has their price and that just happened to be his. Inexperienced people would rather pay someone to do it for them for a sense of security. Much like you mentioned the oil change, instructions are all over the internet but people still rather pay someone to do it. People shouldn't get disrespected for their prices. If someone was willing to pay that amount, that's the price they pay for not doing their own research. Everyone is just out to make a buck somehow and you just ruined his day for your own selfishness.

I agree, paying that much just for rooting a t989 with those extra things is way too much, this phone is so easy to root your can basically do it at a library and be finished in about 5mins literally, you can even YouTube how to do it, this phone is very noob friendly.. It's cost 50bucks to debrick a phone on the jtag Site plus shipping, add root/ rom and it's 80bucks and that process is way harder.
Paying 70bucks means you'd be paying for features that already comes in most roms.
Though making him travel is a bit though.

and how does one who does not visit XDA know how to do this let alone what "rooting your device" means?
The guy on CL was providing a service, the OP did a **** move. Why in the world would the OP elicit a fake business exchange other than getting his jollies? Rip off is relative; if you know how to change your own oil, then every Jiffy Lube is a criminal operation and they should be out of business cause everyone changes his own oil.

While I'm not a VET myself, I volunteer for the US Department of Veteran's Affairs as an activities coordinator, where I create activities and companionship for WWII, Korean, Vietnam, and Desert Storm VETS. Most of them are elderly, and facing mortality, suffering from moderate to severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Most of them are lonely, so I create activities that cater to their specific wants and needs, which in turn stimulates happiness, and an improved quality of life in their latter years. My wife also works there as a Medical Support Assistant, where she works in the urgent care dept. assisting VETS by addressing health issues, and providing them with the care they so desperately need. We both are very proud of what we do, because it's our way of giving back to those who have lost so much...

Former Marine SGT. servedmy tour of duty as a reservist dployed to Iraq in 2007-2008. all in all it was an awesome experience. Deployed with some very amazing people. Everyone i left with came home happy and healthy. I understand some others are not as lucky and my heart goes out to them and thier families.
One thing i have never asked for and never will ask for is a thank you. But to anyone feeling as if they need to do so, i will tell you it was a pleasure and if things in my life hadnt changed significantly for me after my return home I would still be humbly serving our nation.
Semper Fi
Yeah its a Marine thing but its also a life thing.
Also another note. I was a weather observer a profession which is now phased out. Now they only have weather forcasters and I was an air wing Marine on Al Asad air base. So my experiences may vary greatly from the larger group of my brothers and sisters who also served.

ODS Vet here.
Hats off to all of the other vets here and the OP!!
The war I was in was nothing compared to what other vets have endured.

Well what do we have here....
First, OP thx for this thread....as a Marine who served 20+ yrs on active duty. Always finding a fellow jarhead in these XDA threads is Good to Go! Been retired now for 5 yrs...
Keep in mind, in today's military it is a purple world. Meaning joint services and even with the UN peace keepers.
I have had the Honor of serving and spilling the same blood with almost all branches of the Military.
Semper Fi and my deepest respect to all who have and still wearing the uniform. Those individuals know what it takes...
I get asked would I go back to active duty if the USMC asked....in a heart beat, without hesitation.
Thx again Danny for your support to us Veterans and as always Good to Go!

Advice about beating speeding tickets

So in the past week I got two speeding tickets. Coincidentally, both were exactly the same speed with the same limit. In New York I hear there about 8 points each of you're 20 over the limit. Also I heard I may possibly get my license suspended which I need for work. So any suggestions on how to beat the tickets or points is most welcome. Thanks

This is a huge forum and who's to say there isn't anyone who is a lawyer or something of that nature? Ooo yea "best answer Lmao/thread". Very useful,I agree.
And guess what, there are little loop holes to beat the points on tickets like these. But since yous are a bunch of kiddies, you want to post non sense instead of something that will help. I have a lead foot? Great, thanks mom. Doesn't help

You absolutely are blind, because I posted twice. Look again for my real answer. We actually abide by the law, so yes, lead foot is appropriate for you. On top of that, you apparently "haven't gotten a ticket in a decade" which you must also be suspended or near suspended for not taking care of it much sooner. To sum it all up for you, you came to a development site for legal advice & you're the one acting like a child not getting the answers you want. You're welcome, son.

Anything else you have to say? I gave you legit advice. Get a lawyer or talk to the prosecutor. You need to get your eyes & head checked. You don't even know what you say. Pretend to know what we're talking about? That's cute. Welcome to XDA.

I post thread. Receive nothing but negative and random comments about my driving but I need my head checked. And I believe you still need to learn to read because nothing you quoted had anything to do with my license being suspended or near suspended YET. Try again though

You need to learn, because you don't edit your own previous post & you quote yourself to add more (within the quote). You're ignorance level is ridiculous. You either posted a bunch of bs or don't even know what you're talking about, anymore. I mentioned the suspension thing, because you said you got two speeding tickets in two weeks, but you also said you haven't received a ticket in a decade. That is all. Get your head checked & call a damn attorney. Nobody really can answer your question because all states, counties, cities are different. Judges, clerks & prosecutors all think differently & will appoint you differently. One will give a slap on the wrist or somebody else will charge you for 100% profit with points without seeing a judge. This is a development site, not a legal advisory (800) hotline. Meanwhile you're stomping your little feet not getting any answers you want, you could've googled or called an attorney by now for real legal advice.

Lol hit a nerve I see that you're going over board about hitting the quote button instead of edit lol. And what I posted that was bull****? I received two tickets this week? I believe my picture proves other wise.
And lastly, this is general discussion where you get to talk about things aside from phones and development. Can you read "general discussion"? You know what that means right? But enjoy your temper tantrum you mighty keyboard warrior. And here's an idea, if you don't want to partake in conversations outside of development, don't reply to threads in the general discussion section

The Furry Thread

This thread is for furries, or anyone else to just post, have fun, and hang out. :3
No trolling please...
What is a furry? Well, Urban Dictionary defines it as...
There is no one single definition of what a furry is. Even within the furry fandom, people cannot always agree on just what makes a person a furry or not.
Some would argue that to be a furry, you must think and talk like one (i.e. use furry specific words and phrases). Even if you go to conventions, wear a fursuit, draw the art, writes the stories etc but don't talk using furry lingo, you're not a furry. Basically, someone that may walk the walk but doesn’t talk the talk.
Others would argue that even liking anthropomorphic creatures makes you a furry. You may have no idea the furry fandom exists or have ever heard of a furry convention, let alone any of the websites; simply liking 'anthro' critters makes you a furry.
The way I see it, if or if you don’t consider yourself a furry is a matter of personal opinion.
As with any hobby, most furries are normal people just like anyone you'll meet at work/school or going to/from work/school or anywhere. Then there is the small percent that are hard core fans and have taken what for most is a hobby and perverted it (sometimes in an all to literal sense).
As is with so many other things in life, the few that take it too far tend to be the loudest. The silent majority are often forced into silence by the loud majority for fear that people will label them as being in the same class as the minority that have perverted it.
One unfortunate side effect of the internet and the relative anonymity that some sites grant their users is people are able to engage in activities (even if only on a virtual level) that they would never even consider doing in real life. An example of this is trolls of message boards that say things to people they’d never say to them in person. I think a lot of the stereotypes associated with furries are because of this.
In conclusion, as with any hobby, there are some furries that have taken it too far and/or perverted what for many is a fun harmless hobby.
If only the silent majority were not so silent, people would realise there is more to furries then perversion.
Any questions, feel free to ask.

Reserved...
Gonna take this spot, just in case.

I'd recommend the definition from WikiFur, it's a lot more comprehensive. Give it a read: http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/What_is_Furry

It depends on your point of view. In a way, ponies are anthropomorphic animals, which some consider to be the definition of what a furry is. However, they're also different, and the furry fandom is gigantic compared to the brony fandom.
If you search it, I'm sure you'll find many people discussing the subject better than I can.
I was a furry though before I became a brony, which is why I'm here.

Also, I'm guessing XDA guidelines don't allow for saucy/suggestive imagery? No rule 34 here, I don't keep that stuff on any of my devices.

Alright, all right, lol.
Hmm... Let's see here... There wasn't really a specific day I could just mark on my calendar and say "this is the day I became a furry".
All I know is that Krystal from Star Fox eventually led me to the fandom. Prior to that my favourite furry character was Sonic the Hedgehog, I used to play as many games (though never finished them) as I could, watched Sonic X every Saturday morning (on Fox Box and then 4Kids TV) and read the comic as much as possible. Sadly I've fallen out of all that, though I still love the Sonic franchise. I see his latest games as more of a desperate push by Sega to try and stay alive though.
So, yeah. No specific date here. I'd say that I was between 13 and 15 when I discovered the furry fandom and decided I was a part of it.

Sorry Everyone,
But too much spamming is too much spamming. I removed the posts that I considered trolling of the thread.
Sorry especially to the OP.
Thanks and thread closed.
