Thanks but what i do pales in comparison to what guys like DJ, Tony6669, Train from tbo, dafoxs, archangel, and a bunch of others go through. DJ has like 3 or 4 full themes on the playstore for aosp, themes every update to just about every google app when they update which has been weekly it seems. On top of fixing apps that google fudges so other themers can modify them, helps out countless devs, themers, noobies, etc. at all times of day or night, takes control of threads like this 1 when original dev gets too busy, contributes to CM github, and not to get into his personal life as he has mentioned this many times, but has had to be a superman to his family and especially his son who was sick for a while. That dude never sleeps. Lol Guess it comes from being a DJ and partying all night in his youth. Lol.

But once you start theming you can't stop. You always try to do better and top whatever it is you last did. You always feel like you can fix something just a little bit more.

Doing 120 plowing over mailboxes. Radar detector to tell me where the cops is.
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
I think that the 'condition' he was referring to was in regards to the bowl... ?

But yes, DJ's theming apps/ don't sleep is a disease and I am afflicted by that also I think - hehehe.

When I did redid those spacebars it wasnt enough, so I also finally added my SSK UI changes to my main theme and also finally added a slight filter to the poker app I use so that the cards themselves are not so shinny when I play a few hands at 3 in the morning....

and @ lucasUruguay (sorry if misspelled): I understand that you can't wait to get this fixed and can't blame you for trying. But please if you can't figure it out after the 3 PMs I've sent you, just wait like DJ suggested you already.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
I'll work on this again tonight...Hopefully tester 2 release. Adding Xperia and DJ's SuperNova new themes. No preview yet.
[Android Themes] tonyafc:
Have a got a stable version in the pipeline or are you just dping testers?
[Android Themes] sahil kaul:
You got that right.

Cheers guys.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
They're stable, just some themes don't load on lower dpi devices. Can't have s full on stable release until all the little bugs are ironed out. Just to put it in perpective, if 1 spacebar image in each theme breaks the theme on lower dpi devices, you need to fix and rebuild that 1 image for each folder in every theme that doesn't work. It could be around 100 images or it could be 400 images. Even if you did each image in 5 minutes it could take up to 2500 minutes just to get the next test release out. No telling if everything works, may havr to redo some images after you personally test every theme, release that beta to a few trusty testers, then if all is good, release a tester/stable on the thread to keep users happy who neeed updates no matter what the cost, then after a few days of no complaints and hopefully no updates from swiftkey, you can release a final stable release. Believe me, if you need to use the last official stable for a few more days, it won't be the end of existence, nor are you missing anything of great importance besides some new themes that wouldn't work anyway if you didn't release a few test builds to amuse the users. Lol

Your morals are WRONG!! Your ideas are WRONG!! You're too far GONE... and god punishes you for your sins.
[Android Themes] sahil kaul:
Hey could you add Jaggyjags themes from his v13.1 to your tester 2 whenever you release it? If there's no problem ofcourse.
[Android Themes] LucasUruguay:
Yes, better I wait. Thanks a lot
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
I think he's still working on fixing his but yeah I'll add them.
[Android Themes] sahil kaul:
I am Grateful for your Efforts and time. We all, especially the Long time subscribers of this thread, can't thank you guys enough for Everything you do. Keep rocking. Thank you once again.

That was fast!

[Android Themes] JoeFCaputo113:
Ummm.... Question.. Why doesn't SwiftKey employ you guys?!?! You guys care more Swiftkey and the customization than the actual Swiftkeys Devs!! Keep up your AMAZING work people. You guys do wonders. I wish ya'll were able to upload this to G-Play!! :good:
[Android Themes] scoobyjenkins:
I'd buy these Swiftkey themes if they were on their store, way better than what's available!

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Android Themes] JoeFCaputo113:
EXACTLY man! These guys deserve some sort of employment from Swiftkey... deadass!! :good::D
[Android Themes] LucasUruguay:
If you have employment from SwiftKey, I think I bought this themes :D
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Very good looking theme man. Now that will push me to revisit a thing or two or mine... I like the composing bg and your high gradient bgs. I see that the language text is well aligned vertically on your spacebar, so I'll have to try another font family to verify mine and then chase down the issue if that doesn't fix it.

...

But very nice job - especially from the guy that doesn't like colors.

[emoji12]

Btw, your horizontal text patching/padding a little too narrow and upper chars go off keys (but I realize those ss might not be final state yet anyway..)

You know how JJ fix his spacebars?

- -

O-T part:

I've had a couple rants at corporations recently, so that's why I thought this could be shared here...

Here's why I like theming so much:

Old and trusted TBO app of Yahoo Mail (~v2.5.2) stops working - need a replacement... Latest Y! Mail app(v4.9.2): not inverted but has themes, does the job well, but full of crapware - which half of doesn't work without a VPN from my location anyway. 15MB and after a few times using it, get this in the face:

A nice ad banner right on top of my Inbox message list. Note that the pic has been edited and the banner usally has the identical look as the other emails (+ that nice "$" icon... and in a nice mix of 2 languages might I add...)

Searched what available for older versions that still work, found v3.1.3; same UI as latest app minus a lot of stuff like the useless extra tabs - only 6MB - same ad banners...

[emoji30]

Spent 20 minutes digging the decompiled app, another 20 to do tge coding/pics work and - given limitations of the theme engine- this made my day:

I'll sleep better now..
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Yes I need to tweak it a bit but I'm finding cool things making a non minimal one finally lol.

JJ hasn't fixed them yet I didn't think. Those I added were made before the new ui.
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Keyboard came out great DJ. A few things 1. It isn't clear nor blacked out. (for shame... ?) 2. I have just realized how really awful swiftkey's emojis are. I rarely use them but i just went through them all and i couldn't even tell you whar 95% of them are supposed to be. Surprised since with the mostly crap themes they have in their store they seem to be aiming for the 9-16 emoji loving kids. They are justvpitiful. And are you making a whole theme called supernova for cm12 or just the kb? Only reason why i ask is i just saw a guy release a supernova theme for next launcher and been seeing a lot of kanging going on and a lot of stupid accusations of kanging. Saw someone a few weeks ago cause a huge uproar on an xda thread as he was claiming everyone stole his soft key buttons. The stock, square, circle, and triangle. It was ptetty funny but it got ugly and petty. That's 1 of my biggest gripes with material design, and especially it's guidelines. How many round drop shadow icon packs are out? How many are in the works? How many times in the past 2 weeks has someone blatantly been busted for stealing someone else's stuff? I've seen icon packs with like 100,000 dl's in the play store at a 1$ a pop that was exact with same wallpapers, #of icons, in the pack and the vector template used in the assets folder. Only difference was package name and icon for the icon pack apk. OG dev found out when he saw an icon pack on the play store with an exact same # of icons he had in his and it was a ridiculius amount that's why he was suspicuous. He did some investigating and totally busted him. Anyway just trying to be cautious as i can see a guy flipping out that you are doing a super nova theme and he just did 1. Also what is the red cube in your nav bar in your screens? Is that your recents button? Any how sorry for long post.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Lol, yep I'm updating Supernova CM11 to CM12 with a little more added.

Yeah I don't use SwiftKey because I'm a Swype addict...lol

Next launcher one is Kevin Beegan's but he retired so someone asked me to update it and Kevin sent me everything.

Kangers gonna kang, let's see if they can get it kanged with my code added...they'll be lost...I don't use common folder much, they need to know what they are doing to kang it correctly lol.

Red cube? Oh the input method button? It's in my code red theme but CM12 option.
[Android Themes] sahil kaul:
The Red box is the Keyboard Switcher. Also, just wished to add something here, stealing someone else's work is a Skill in itself [emoji12] and Somehow it's a Positive thing for the Actual Creator (Think Deeply, Keyword: Evolution)...

People Please STEAL every work of every Person you ever come across, stealing is the best thing ever!!!

PS: Reverse Psychology, helps sometimes. You see what I did there [emoji6]
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
You're not a fan of emojis nor one of the return key I see-hehehe.

Regarding emojis from SwiftKey specifically: I doubt that they're any different than the ones from Swype or pretty much any other Android keyboard as they are "regulated" by a "governing body": the unicode consortium:

www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/tr51-2.html

For my part, I'm glad that the emoji organization exits and that there is a "control" on how they look: imagine what it would be all over the Internet if large size animated gif would be used for emoji. It would be like reading a freak horror show of cartoons everywhere....

[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Ok I think it's ready

Super pink theme added W. I. P. With super nova

Great job :)
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
TESTER 2!!!!!!

ok here is hopefully my final tester unless I need to fix jaggyjaggs themes too and I will before going stable if need be.

SuperSwiftkey-5.3.2.67-Tester2.apk:

Gimmie Gimme Gimmie

Hopefully all dpi's fixed with []AL[] spacebar fixes. "if not might be time to upgrade your device yo...lol" Getting tired of messing with it honestly.

Hope it all works, I zipaligned this one too as I seen speed improvements in last tester so hopefully it wasn't just a fluke...lol

Enjoy

DJ
[Android Themes] [] AL []:
Thanks,

Oh! on first read, I thought you were suggesting me upgrade my PC - lol- it's not even 2yrs old and I usually upgrade just about every part in it before, 6 or 8 years later, moving on with a new rig. My i7-4th gen was still the 2nd fastest cpu available on the market just a few months ago

[emoji12]

I've honestly never used the "optmiize pics" and zip align functions on any of the stuff I've done, but from what you wrote, maybe I should give that under used cpu something more to do... Thx for the tip/reminder.

OK fingers crossed on spacebars users feedback.

[emoji120]

Oh! btw, if you look at my last batch of sb at the ldpi size, it is pretty obvious that the patch 9s are changing during the resizing and that there is even overlapping going on over lines that sould not be streched (very top & bottom 1 pixel lines of sb). So no surprise that those ridiculously small pics must look blurry and funny. As I'm sure you know, I'd gladly vote yes in a "get rid of ldpi + mdpi SSK folders" referendum. That data probably accounts for ¼-⅓ of the themes folder also...

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

What his your brother's trolling about? [I have no G+ thingy] and btw, who's Yogy and who's Bubu?

I've missed that TBD alert in isle 4 as well... dang! I've called the previous cleanup before almost anyone sees it last time though...

Thank you very much for your hard work.

Sonny's themes work perfectly all together with space bars.

I don't wanna to tell this, but the W. I. P With violet color doesn't charge :(
[Android Themes] scoobyjenkins:
That's just a place holder, the theme is a work in progress but not available to apply to your keyboard yet.

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Android Themes] tonyafc:
Have you thought about making these themes with the numbers & characters?
[Android Themes] syverman:
But Xperia keyboard has no characters
[Android Themes] tonyafc:
Out of the box no but there is an option within the keyboard at least the one thats floating around xda has lol don't get me wrong thou these are gorgeous themes
[Android Themes] syverman:
I can put them, but there will be 6 of those theme, if you wanna see the character on, you can edit the style.json find this line

{

"id": "text_base_top",

"color": "#00bdbdbd"

},

And remove the 00 at the beginning of the code, you can edit the file using zarchiver and turbo editor. Do it in every folder of the theme you want, hdpi,ldpi, mdpi and xhdpi. Save and reinstall.
[Android Themes] tonyafc:
Great ill give it a go this weekend have a good day
[Android Themes] syverman:
Is really easy , that's the way I learned, use zarchiver and turbo editor and in case you start making your own themes, use zipsigner for sign those themes. Is really easy whit those apps
[Android Themes] eREKTileDysfunktion:
Thanks guys it works now but I ran into another problem... What theme is gonna be my daily driver D:! They're all so great thanks for your hard work everyone :)
[Android Themes] Phrodini:
Thanks for the newest tester
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Lol, I know. I forgot to resize the supernova theme on lower dpi but I did on superpink so both are W. I. P.

I gotta say making superpink is my very first one made from scratch. The keys I created but supernova was images from CM11 Theme so I'll have to fix it up. I learned a lot creating the images and adding styles and such. I've been using whatever is there already in themes. Fun times. [emoji4]
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Yes, I mentioned Jaggyjaggs was working on his. I might fix them if he's to busy but I'll get in touch with him for the final release.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Some guy thought because he donated be gets special treatment. He got educated quickly then he attacked the developers trying to help him. Quick way to piss me off... Disrespect my team mates. I become DeadlyKnight lol

Darth the man Vader cleaned it up and re-educated the troll.

All for a white flash before he opens a browser. He wants it black... Seriously stupid request and when told to use the guide he wanted to at like a baby crying he donates and deserves more respect. I almost want full throttle but the mod saved him... Lol

EDIT.. NOT AWAKE YET

Oh WAIT GOOGLE PLUS?

Dude said one of the themes was, "fing ugly" like a troll and Bear went off on him.
[Android Themes] jesssiii:
I've been using TouchPal keyboard but just tried this. Love the animation in the Ice theme! Are there any other themes with animations like that?

[Android Themes] eREKTileDysfunktion:
Hey guys sorry to bother but the other thread is locked so I thought I'd give it a shot and post this here. I'm trying to delete themes to slim down the apk(But my PC died about a month a go so I have to do this all on mobile ?) I made a folder named Super SwiftKey and place the base apk there and extract the themes folder from another apk (same version as the base) and I deleted all of the themes I do not want to include and everything goes great ? except I go on Turbo editor to edit the .json file and I do so but as I get to the end of this file I see that it did not read all of it because it didn't have all the themes... Hmm strange after an hour of thought I can't come up with anything so here I am I don't know what to do since I have no PC :( also once I edit that file I would delete the theme folder from my base and replace it with my modified theme folder plus the .json file then I just sign it with apk tool and install, right?

Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance I appreciate everyone's hard work here! :)
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
When was the last time this worked for you? There is a whole new ui and new base kb that needs to be kept. I'm thinking the instructions need to be updated to show the new changes made by swiftkey. I had to rework my themes will a few xml edits and renaming some pngs. Just what i am guessing...
[Android Themes] eREKTileDysfunktion:
I've never tried this on mobile which is why I'm having trouble... I've got it all down except this .json file doesn't all of the themes it cuts half way through a line where it's stating the name of the theme I tried buying pro version of this maybe there's a limit on the free version but that wasn't it... Oh well at least I'm supporting devs lol.

PS: I LOVE YOUR THEMES DUDE!
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
Thanks. I had to fix the shift keys. Sent them to dj late last night so won't be in til final release. I'm not too sure about trimming down the theme size. I do know the main kb you couldn't delete was nickel, now it's something else. Not sure if that is the issue or if if i'm way out in left field. Doing stuff like that on your phone has to be tough. I make 100 errors when i theme an app on my pc, couldn't imagine how bad i'd be on my phone. Lol
[Android Themes] LucasUruguay:
Ok, so I wait the next update :)
[Android Themes] syverman:
Make a copy of the original super swiftkey you download, then work on that copy, open it with zarchiver as compressed, delete all the themes you don't want but remember the name or write them some where, don't remove the default ones(the ones made by swiftkey) after you remove all the themes you don't want, edit the json file and delete the themes from there, when your done, save and close turbo editor, if you have the pro version of zarchiver and active the option of save edited file on zip, it will ask you to save the file, do it and close zarchiver, if not you need to add the edited json file, click on the + sing and add file, navigate to Android data and from there fine ru.zdevs.zarchiver.pro, inside are 2 folders open temp and click on the json file you edited, click OK and follow the pop up instructions. Close zarchiver and sign the edited apk, if all is OK your done.

I have a samsung galaxy nexus with a 1280 x 720 screen...is the extra "space" next to the letters A + L, and the shift + return keys normal for this phone? or did I not follow the instructions correctly? thanks

EDIT: forgot to mention that I'm running SwiftKey 3, not 4, 3 is just more accurate for me...
[Android Themes] cajunflavoredbob:
You could try changing the dpi to 240 or so. This is mine on my Note 2 with the same resolution as you, but running 241 DPI.
[Android Themes] PhilDX:
thanks, but I can barely read the text now at the native 320 :)

I forget to mention that I'm still running SwiftKey 3. I'll have to check if grabbed the resources for the right version... assuming that matters
[Android Themes] cajunflavoredbob:
Xposed mod allows you to change the DPI of individual apps. Otherwise, updating to SwiftKey 4 might fix the spacing issue for you.
[Android Themes] PhilDX:
you're probably right, I'll give the latest version of SwiftKey 4 a shot and see what happens

EDIT: i downloaded Swiftkey v4 from the play store and themed it following the instructions in the OP, all looks good with the dark theme now
[Android Themes] migueldbr:
sonnysekhon does this happen on your phone?(using your themed mms apk)
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
That apk was for xhdpi devices, that is why it's causing this issue on a hdpi device.

[Android Themes] open1your1eyes0:
Any chance you can make a quick theme of the "classic" version of Swype that works with the new Swype from the Play Store. :)

Link to example

The Play Store version has a theme called "Cloud" with blue line but not dark keys. :/

Really love/miss the classic Swype look, cannot get used to that orange line.
[Android Themes] sonnysekhon:
I can change the orange to blue without a problem but creating the exact same look will be very tedious.

I am working on a metro theme for the new Swype (Play Store). Will post it here as soon as I'm done.
[Android Themes] open1your1eyes0:
Oh no. Don't need the exact look. Keep the keyboard the same, I actually prefer the new one. Just for the "Holo" theme to make the line blue. :)
