Hoy, great job :)

Thanks for getting those icons a little more clear, it's great now :)

And as a side note, I find that the theme is best used at 50% brightness, matter of tast prolly.

Going to try and do a Frankenstein job for the soft buttons, will report if success.

Again, thanks!

***EDIT***

Success :) Got my reflective buttons!

Quite easy, ty for the tips

I would love to see the status bar and navbar be kept black. Otherwise I would flash this right now.

Keep at it bud. It looks great! I'd love to see what else you come up with!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Heya dvirf, actually, thanks to superstargoddess, there is a Live Wallpaper that goes GREAT with my theme (and thanks superstargoddess for the link-age!). It is here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.io.wallpaper.circuitry

Hey oman, you don't have to wait man! Just grab the "non-Swagger" version, as it has everything the Swagger does, but WITH black status/navigation bars. Looks like my decision to create 2 versions is paying off already ;)

Let me know how it works for you.

Oh, and to oman and everyone, have you used my theme on devices other than the Galaxy Nexus, but with AOKP ROMs? Excuse my ignorance and poorness, but I only have this one phone and I'm wondering if the theme will work on other AOKP devices. If so, I should start publicizing more!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zman6900:
this is Great! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Treatcon:
If these images are up to your standards feel free to use them. Just trying to add a little consistency to the flow of your theme :cool: If you don't want me posting them because I used your themed buttons than I'll delete them, and I apologize. I'm only posting them here and no where else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davey1694:
What do you think about removing these blue lines.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I agree
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big-A-Rob:
Such a fantastic theme. I have loved the PCB themes and this goes great with the ICS color scheme.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] srimay:
I tried this theme with axiom b27, but it didn't work. Could it be because axiom uses 4.04 gapps. On some other themes the thing to do was remove the gtalk and gmail apks from the theme and flash. I am learning as I go with this stuff. I couldn't remove said apks from this theme as I was able to with black exodus by Nitroz. /system/apk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farfetch:
can you make a 65% transparent statusbar one, pls?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Treatcon, thanks very much for these. They look great and I'll incorporate them into the next release.

I think you guys are right about this, but rather than removing the lines, I have still kept a solid 1px 'dark blue/same blue as pcb' just to sort of cap-off the pcb traces (so they don't just 'end'). The above screenshot shows what it would look like, and this will be in the next release.

I'll also optimize the .9. PNGs for better compatibility with non-320dpi resolutions, as I see your screenshot showed different than stock 320dpi.

Hi srimay, I don't believe that Gapps would have any effect on my theme, or vice-versa. The files in my .zip are only 'framework-res.apk' and 'SystemUI.apk', which are core resource files. I don't skin different apps/APKs, so they aren't included.

I can't really comment on Axiom running AOKP, but I would think that the device setup would be different, possibly with different 'framework-res.apk' and 'SystemUI.apk' files. This is most likely why it doesn't work, and I can't really test it as I only have a GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davey1694:
Yeah I've got a 241 dpi set (if only default wasn't so big :mad: ) also I was wondering. If you could make your theme a little bit darker. Like etoys theme here as much as I like his/her theme (I'm using it the now) it just doesn't have that PCB greatness and yours just doesn't have they lovely blacks.

Hope your not offended just hate looking at greys on the Galaxy Nexus screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big-A-Rob:
I agree with others about changing the color to cap the pcb. I would also like to see the gray changed to black for the notifications. Only other thing I would do is a different loading spinner. Not a big fan of the current one being used. I might work some up and post them to see if you like them. Other than that this theme is gorgeous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Hi farfetch, I actually just tried this, and I don't believe it's easily accomplished. I was able to make the PNG transparent, but Android doesn't draw anything behind the status bar (i.e. wallpaper), so this caused corruption (such as when the icons change/animate).

I then found a thread here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409540, which does describe how to do it, but it's quite a complicated mod. I don't build from AOSP either, so not sure how I could get it done at this point. If the AOKP team incorporated it (or a toggle), that would be great though!

I hear ya davey1694, and I've done my best to make the blacks/darks even darker.

Thanks Big-A-Rob! I agree with the spinner. I was trying to experiment a bit and ended up leaving what I had. I'll try to look for better ones, but if you find some, please feel free to PM me a link.

Also, to everyone, I've made more changes to the navigation dropdown, including the PRESSED state for each (which was a bit tough). I've also recreated them as I used a slightly difference PCB pattern by accident (scale was off/too small). Oh yes, and I've also fixed the SILENT + AIRPLANE MODE icons in the status bar (changed them to ICS blue).

It's VERY hard to please absolutely everyone, so please don't beg for (what you think is) perfection. No offense, and I will always listen to feedback, as proven with the recent changes I've made.

That said, take a look at what's coming in the next SWAGGER version:

Again, thanks for all of your feedback and thanks, and I hope you like how it's coming along!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] srimay:
Im using a GNex also. I don't want to post the link to the rom here, but if you would like to investigate it further, the rom is featured on droidhive dot com.

i would if i knew how to do any of that. ive only self taught to root and flash roms/mods.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Hi srimay, I was actually mistaken before, as I thought AXIOM ROMs were for another device. I now know more, and even though they are for the GNex, you're right, they are a different build/distro/etc.. Unfortunately I have no extra time to spend on modding (and quality-testing) another ROM :( As it is now, I am sacrificing quite a bit, but I guess that's what I gotta do to get this theme looking perfect.

In other things, I have just uploaded v1.3.0 with the addition of notification item backgrounds (+ pressed states), and some minor fixes. Both versions are now @ v1.3.0, with the Change Log + Screenshot in the first post being updated.

Sorry for the frequent updates, but I'll be posting new stuff as I create it! Just be sure to wipe Dalvik-Cache before flashing, and you shouldn't have any problems a'tall.

Cheers all!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kipue:
Yo Scar,

really good, it's getting better and better with each updates :)

Now with the thinner blue lines on top and bottom, it does look great at high brightness too :)

Thanks again!

I have a Galaxy S that I could use to install AOKP 27 + your theme if you need some feedback on another device. Let me know and I ll see if I can get the time to try this out

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3bs11:
Thanks for this theme! It's my first one. I'm new to android and rooting etc. When you release an update for this, how would I install it? Should I just put it on my phone and wipe dalvik again and flash it?

Edit: Can someone explain in details how I would go about changing only the status bar icons to the ones used in this theme? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Sorry salym, but I've specified that this is only built from and for AOKP maguro ROMs...

saywhaaaaat? :)

Glad you like it 3bs11! Stick with reading, learning, etc., and before you know it, you'll be very familiar with Android. In terms of your update question, yep, when I release a new version and you download it, you just flash it normally through Recovery, wiping the Dalvik-Cache before you do. I do this when testing (so I'm actually doing it many times for each test build), and I have never had a problem. Of course, it's not a bad idea to do a NANDROID backup before, as it only takes a few minutes.

In terms of changing the icons, that's a whole other topic of modding themes/resource files yourself, but if you hunt/search the XDA forums, you'll find answers. I would rather not have people ripping apart my theme, BUT if they only want to do it for personal use (and not re-release mutated versions of my theme/images), then that's fine with me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3bs11:
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah this is just for me. I've been looking around but haven't found anything useful yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Magoggles:
New version is great. Really like the swagger version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Thanks Magoggles (for some reason, I get a real kick out of your name :)), glad you like where I'm going with it.

Anyways, just a quick note as well to say that I'll be working on an M4 version very soon and hope to have a new release up within a few hours. Again, I know I've had some frequent releases, but that's what having ORD (obsessive rom disorder) is all about right?! ;) Stay tuned!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
OK everyone, I have just finished merging, building, testing, and uploading PCB Blue for AOKP Milestone 4. Check the OP for new links and MD5 checksums. I also have a request, if anyone out there installs the NON-swagger version of 1.4.0, please post back your results on how it's working. I use the swagger myself, so I didn't fully fully test the non-swagger version. The changes are MUCH simpler than the swagger version, so I'm sure it will be fine, but I'm just looking for confirmation.

Otherwise, if anyone is using the amazing TSF Shell, keep your eyes peeled on the Market as I am planning on releasing a PCB theme for that (already testing it now). Sure TSF Shell is expensive, but I bit the bullet and am VERY happy with it. It is still early (although stable), so more and more features will be added as time goes on. The fluidity of this Shell/Launcher is just incredible though, 60fps and runs like butter!

Cheers, and enjoy M4!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wemsinho:
Hey!! Just installed your theme! Very awesome!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Awesome! I'm very happy you like it, and thanks for taking the time to give your feedback wemsinho :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] energie:
Im so waiting for your TSF shell!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleeepy2:
Installed swagger edition, looking good. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
I'm using/testing it now and just ensuring it's definitely worthy of a release, but I promise it should be here soon! :D

To all, I am thinking of putting it in the Market for $1 (the TSF Shell theme). Do you think this is fair?

I have released many versions of my PCB Theme across mainly 3 devices, and it has without a doubt taken a LOT of my time. I have a donate link in my XDA profile setup, but I really hate asking for them. I'm self-employed (web designer/I.T.) and it's definitely tough to get a stable income (want to buy a ring for m'lady of 8 years). I'm hoping that at $1/pop for the TSF theme, people would still download it and help support.

BTW, to prove this isn't vapourware, I've attached some screenies of the TSF theme. It was a bit of a ***** to build, as there is pretty much ZERO documentation, but I will always be improving it over time, and as the TSFUI team adds more features. Click for a Dropbox gallery, OH and please don't spread this link just yet, as it's pre-release stuff for the existing users of my theme ;):

Just looking to hear some of your thoughts, and would appreciate any responses!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sothebad:
Hi TS, can i use this on galaxy s i9000 AOKP M4 too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
I've had another user try it on the Nexus S with AOKP m4, and he said that it works fine.

Please give it a shot and let me know your results (posting a screenshot or more if possible), but also take a Nandroid backup first before anything. Just to be on the safe side ;)

Looking forward to hearing how it may work on other devices running AOKP (I don't have anything other than my GNex)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ozonenetwork:
My Status Bar was missing after update zip on AOKP-MI4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Did you choose any "Transparent Status Bar" option in ROM Control? This doesn't work (yet), so you must choose "No Transparency".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ozonenetwork:
It's "No Transparency" but still missing both status bar and nav bar.

I fixed by copy xhdpi folder from systemUI.apk file to original systemUI.apk , and it's worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Hrm that's very odd indeed, I can't picture the theme only selectively skinning certain elements and not others. Are you sure you got the "swagger" version? The non-swagger one doesn't skin the navigation or status bars. Also, maybe you didn't wipe the Dalvik-Cache?

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Sorry for the Q's, but this is the first time I've heard of this issue.

Thanks for letting me know ozonenetwork.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msg04:
I also had the same issue too. Not sure if this is related, but when I held Power button down, it automatically go to the Team Kang startup screen. Reinstalled M4 without theme and issue went away

Thanks for swaggin-out my ns4g. If gapps get themed also, this would be perfect.

You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nachtschicht:
Unfortunately I also can't use your theme. I end up without status bar and nav bar. As soon as I press and hold the power button my Nexus reboots.

I wiped data, cache and dalvik cache, flashed AOKP MS4 and latest Gapps, Franco's kernel and your theme. So it is a fresh install, but still I run into this problem. What could it be? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Hey guys, I am not 100% sure, but I think I may know what's going on here. Did you by any chance flash my theme IMMEDIATELY after flashing the ROM? I.E. without rebooting first?

I should have put a note in the OP (which I will if this is confirmed to be the issue), but if you could confirm by trying again and letting me know, that would be great. Since my theme replaces SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk which are obviously both core system resource files, you'll need to complete a full boot after flashing a ROM/gapps package. Let the ROM boot for the first time, then reboot back into recovery, wipe Dalvik, and flash my theme alone.

I've never had a problem myself, but I always flash the theme by itself after a full boot if I've just flashed a ROM. Hopefully the same guys who've had this problem can try again, and please post up your results! :)

Thanks ya Bruce lee roy! I'll look into theming the gapps packages too, however I know that would be a big undertaking (which is why I didn't theme other APKs). Gapps is a neat package itself though, so if I was to theme another set of APKs, it would be those ones. I'll keep everyone updated.

Cheers, and once again, thanks for the feedback!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crabbler:
Had that Problem too, with the last Build.

For me it works when I flash in this order:

AOKP

Kernel

Theme

GAPPS

I hope it help you too ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nachtschicht:
@scar45: That's exactly what it was, thank you for your help and this awesome theme! :)

Although this does not explain why I couldn't flash this theme on my fully set up installation (with lots of reboots since 1st setup). But now it works :)

hi! thx. now i can flash theme. But i have some issue about setting button on nav bar,it's disappear but i can press it. Anyone same with me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Hey all, thanks for helping me with troubleshooting that issue. I have just edited the OP with a note to flash my theme all by itself, so hopefully no one else will experience this (provided they read the OP carefully ;))

ozonenetwork, I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but maybe check the Navigation Bar Transparency Setting in ROM Control? Everything works fine for me (as I keep saying :)), but if anyone else does experience the same thing as ozonenetwork, pls respond.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ymDroid:
Service Tag

Flashed AOKP M4, and PCB theme.

For some reason my service tag now reads "T-CDMA 64" instead of Verizon.

Is this Normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Hi ymDroid, I'm not fully sure, but this could be because I have based my theme on the GSM/maguro build of AOKP. No one else has had such an issue (that I am aware of at least), but did it not change back to "Verizon" after waiting a bit?

If not, you could always use ROM Control to change the carrier text to be whatever you want, but read the little note they provide first ;) I hope it's not a big deal to you, but I'm also curious to see if other CDMA GNex users have the same minor issue...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ymDroid:
I posted up on AndroidForums.com to see if any of the guys are experiencing the same issues.

It's not a big deal. Your theme looks awesome. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ymDroid:
network t-cdma 64

So, others aren't seeing the same issue.

I did change it in the ROM manager, but it still shows in the "about phone" network section.

I did find this thread, which shows that others have this issue with other themes.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399815

I wonder if I should just reflash M4?

Would I lose the PCB theme and have to reflash that as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wemsinho:
Hey Scar45, i made a introducing thread in a huge german Android Forum. I think it´s a good way to make your theme much more popular :)

http://www.android-hilfe.de/themes-...-4-0-fuer-aokp-milestone-4-a.html#post2836188
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Hi ymDroid, you will lose the PCB Theme if you reflash M4, but it's no big deal because you can always flash it again (AFTER doing a full boot from the fresh ROM flash of course ;)). Try that again and let me know how you make out. It is quite strange that only your setup was affected, but maybe after a reflash of both M4 + PCB, things will settle themselves ;)

Thanks very much wemsinho!! I really appreciate this! I am just a Canuck from the Great White North, so I only speak English (and a bit of French), so I'd appreciate it if you could be my "German Ambassador" for the PCB theme ;)

Just 1 minor things, you missed the picture/image. I think it just gives more incentive for downloading. I'm not being picky, as I really do appreciate your kindness still!

Many thanks again!

While I much prefer the stock status bar/loading icons, I would LOVE to see a bare-bones version of this theme that just styled the navigation and status bars, as well as the lock ring.

Those mods look exceptional, if you have the time and inclination, of course :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r29:
any plans for other roms?

Would love to see cm9 version.

BTW awesome theme.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noel_leon:
Just wanted to add a real thank you to this thread.

Thank you for making this. Donation is on it's way!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scar45:
Hey r29, after getting a good base built on AOKP, I will surely look into porting my theme to other ROMs, however I'm not so sure I would be able to keep up with the CM9 nightlies. If I stuck to a milestone/stable release for these, then I think it could happen sooner. I always have a lot on my plate though, but I'll try to look into this soon, and I'll surely post news when there's anything to be said.

Also, thanks very much for the comment, glad you think it's awesome! :D

Thank YOU noel_leon! (I also sent you a personalized e-mail reply) You're the first (and so far only) person who has donated to me for this theme. It's greatly GREATLY appreciated, and it surely helps me to keep going.

Maintaining a theme is hard work (as I'm sure the other theme devs know), as we're always having to keep up with frequent ROM releases, looking for changes, and re-building our themes so no new functionality is lost.

Users like you who donate are very respectable, and once again, I thank you very much! :)

That said, I am prepping something new in my theme kitchen, and I'll post up a reply when it's ready...cheers all!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noel_leon:
You are very welcome. It came as a shock to read that I am the only one to donate for this theme. I really enjoy giving back to themers, developers and modders if I like what they create, and it's been like that ever since I joined XDA in 2006.

I am looking forward to any future updates. I am in utter love with the swagger edition. I was hoping for a background that would join the notification and navigation bars, but I really don't care.

Keep up the great work, and be sure I will be lurking around =) I don't usually post on forums (as you can see from my post count since 2006)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CyberPunk7t9:
Woah! Awesome theme! I tried number of GNEX themes but I find myself going back to stock after everytime, but this one is to keep!

It's missing one thing IMO. A static wallpaper that matches the status and navigation bars, like the wallpaper is covering the whole screen.

Dear Sir,

I love your theme very much , but I start to use http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20429-aospliquidsmooth-v11-maguro/ this rom recently . May I have a request if you could give some love on LiQUIDSMOOTH ? Thanks in advance .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jthomas123:
loving the progress so far on the theme. great job.

one question though, would it be possible to theme the widget picker background from the default white to same gray bg when long-pressing from the home screen?

the white background is jarring since all the other ui elements have largely been skinned in dark colors.

do you have any plans to skin any of the gapps packages with the same design elements? I've seen a few that could benefit from a collaboration.
