Hi all,

I just wanted to post up a quick note to let you know that I always check this thread and I always take everyone's recommendations seriously (and thank you for them!). There are a few issues with v1.0.4 (the current version) of the theme, mainly with the Tablet UI notification popup area (blue glitch), and I hope to fix those for the next update.

Life is a struggle for me (as I'm sure it is with many), but as I am a freelancer and work for myself (mainly doing web design/hosting), it is tough for me to dedicate a huge amount of hours to the theme. That said though, it is truly a passion of mine as I also use the PCB theme myself. I will always continue to work on improving it, but please please be patient.

Understandably, website design + hosting is a bit more lucrative than my theme in the Market, BUT I sincerely want to thank everyone who has purchased it, as it really means a lot to me. Please help me by rating the theme and also tweeting/spreading the word about it. I've still got some nice plans for the future, and I will surely work them into the theme over time.

Thanks again for reading this, I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up as to why I haven't been as active as I was over the past few weeks (although I hope that will change!).

Cheers!

Great theme. Found a bug with the usb debugging icon in the notification pull down.

Found a couple more bugs with the battery style. The battery bar in the status bar style doesn't work. It's blank instead of showing it. And here's a couple of glitches with different battery styles. And wouldn't it look better if the battery was blue to match the theme, unless perhaps it's charging or close to dying? That's my opinion at least. This is an hdpi device, by the way. Also, not too fond of it changing the wallpaper. Sorry for the long list
[Android Themes] scar45:
Thanks PonsAsinorem, I know the battery icons are a bit messed up, so I will fix that for the next version (revert the other 'non-circle mod' icons back to stock), although I'm not too sure I'll make them blue just yet (other priorities and fixes to be done first).

In terms of that USB Debugging Icon background within the pulldown list, I have seen it before with other apps too, but I still cannot find where that image is located. It has eluded me for the longest time, but I'll go on another hunt soon ;)

Otherwise, I hope these can be considered minor issues, but I'll definitely try to fix them quickly too.

The new version doesn't theme the battery icon on CM9
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hi Spyr0s, I can confirm this, and my goal was to fix Pons' issues (via that screenshot previously) with the Battery Text Mode. Looks like another thing I cannot fully solve, so it's going to be one way (no CM9 circle battery icon) or the other (battery text modes will be borked).

Please leave your thoughts as to what you might prefer, because my goal is to always take feedback that would help make PCB better.

On a side note, the Tablet UI issues have been fixed, and a few other change log items have been added to v1.0.5 of PCB Blue. Here's the Google Play change log:

• Fixed incorrect battery icons being shown on anything other than "CircleMOD" option

• Improved keyboard background scaling on different DPIs / tablets

• Colourized soft keys/navbar icons to match theme colour

• Optimized resource XMLs

• [TABLET UI] Fixed display issues with Notification Area

• [TABLET UI] Created a new status bar background

• [TABLET UI] Improved spacing of notification buttons / softkeys

► Please remember to (re)rate to help our listing r0ank!

Hope you're still enjoying it...Cheersch!
[Android Themes] Spyr0s:
The issue you are trying to fix is an AOKP bug, not a theme issue. Theme Manager was created by CM9 team for CM9 ROMs, if themes are not working correct then AOKP must find a way to fix it rather than just copy the CM9 code.

With your solution in 1.0.5 every CM9 user is being left with unthemed battery icon. I've used Blue Infinitum theme with AOKP and "Icon only" gives you themed icon, "text only" gives you themed text and "Circle Mod" gives you stock battery icon and of course CM9 works fine.
[Android Themes] Pons:
If it's borked due to improper aokp implementation, I'd switch it back. Don't want to short change other users because of it. And I don't use those modes anyways, I was just testing and looking for bugs. Apparently the status bar battery bar does work, you just have to go back in and reset your option and reset the color, even though it's selected. Perhaps we need to get with aokp about their implementation of the theme engine to figure out how best to solve this, for completeness sake. Thanks for working on this.
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hey guys, thanks for the follow up, and helping me understand what exactly is going on here. Keep in mind, I never want to deprive anyone from features/functionality in my theme, however as we know, all ROMs are not created equal (that would be pretty boring wouldn't it?!).

I'll run some more tests, etc., and try to come to a happy solution that doesn't screw with anyone too much ;) Will update with more as I make progress.

Have a great weekend in the meantime all!

I tried installing on LG GT540,but doesn't work, bad compilation error. :(
[Android Themes] scar45:
Try switching to the System Theme first, then Reboot immediately. Once you're back into Android, try applying PCB Blue again. The theme doesn't have any 'device-specific' resources, so it should work provided your ROM with Theme Chooser support is built properly.

Please let me know what happens.
[Android Themes] TMinh:
On GT540, after apply system theme and reboot, the error still happens. But change dpi to 140 the theme work fine. :D
[Android Themes] Pneuma1985:
Hey scar? howd you make that pattern? I know its a pattern which is how you apply it everywhere now my ? is how? I guess it could just be giant image you originally made and then overlay but i doubt that Im guessing its a pattern?

Damn this theme is sexy, one of two themes I have paid for, it's that good

weirdness

Sheck this out. How come?
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hi Everyone!

After a long break...well, not really a break, but intense work in hibernation, I have finally completed my goal of producing 8 new PCB colours for the Theme Chooser. I really took everyone's feedback into consideration, and I wanted to make as many people happy as I could (I know, a lofty goal), so I went a bit nuts and just pushed hard to get a bunch of variants done.

Anyways, I will post more details when I get a chance, likely tomorrow, but until then, check out the PCB Mini-site page that's been updated here:

PCB Series for Theme Chooser :: PCB Mini-site

I hope everyone likes how the new colours came out, and if you do purchase them, first, THANK YOU SO MUCH, and second, please don't forget to leave feedback/ratings if you can too.

Cheers all!
[Android Themes] master reiki:
awesome colors but some weirdness on my dhd.

Also bat shows wrong percent.

Anyways grate work!!
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hi master reiki,

Thanks for grabbing the purple version. The reason for the 'weirdness' is because you changed the DPI level to tablet mode. This seems to throw the theme for a loop, and I'm not sure how to fix it, since changing the DPI often has many adverse effects. Funny thing is, when on an actual tablet (I have a TF101) using the tablet UI, it works properly for me. If I can figure out a fix for changing DPI on phones, I will surely implement it though.

In terms of the battery, I've heard this, however I am sure my XML files are 100% correct. To verify the battery percentage, compare what you see with the readings from SETTINGS --> BATTERY and see if they match. Otherwise, I'll surely look into this again, but as I said, my battery image replacements match perfectly (i.e. battery_49 --> 49% level).

Cheers!
[Android Themes] master reiki:
Now i get it! Guess i switch back then. I like the softkeys in tablet thats why i use it.. battery dont match. Might be only in tablet veiw. It would be amazing if it can be fixed. Else i love it! Good luck With all! Peace.
[Android Themes] oddspec:
Love this theme but after last update all the battery icons r the same i m sorry I don't really dig the battery icon of the theme if this was gingerbread I'd swap em out myself but on ics I have yet to find a thread telling me how without making a full theme which I have no time or skills to do

On that note further suggestion wouldn't digital LCD style numbers battery icons go great with this theme
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hey all, just a quick note to let you know that I will be working on the battery accuracy issue as soon as I get a chance. If possible, can you guys post up as many details as you can about what you're noticing about the battery icons? I usually go to SETTINGS --> BATTERY to check, and it matches on my device. I'm just a bit confused still, but the more info I have to troubleshoot, the (hopefully) quicker I can get all 9 versions sorted.

I hope to correct it ASAP, however my real life work has been piling up since creating the 8 themes took a lot out of me, but I won't rest until these themes are perfect :D

Thanks for your help and support with this!
[Android Themes] oddspec:
Found the issue aokp has 4 or 5 battery Choices cm9 has only 2
[Android Themes] scar45:
Just a quick FYI here everyone.

Since the release of Theme Chooser into CM10 yesterday, I have begun updating my PCB Series of Themes to support the missing Jelly Bean resources. I am currently testing and hope to release them soon.

Good news is that if you've already bought one of the current PCB Themes, you won't have to pay for another "Jelly Bean" version, as the one package will be updated to support both.

I'll also do my best to figure out what is going on with the battery icon too.

Stay tuned, and huge thanks out to anyone who has supported me by purchasing a PCB Theme (or more)!
[Android Themes] scar45:
Minor update today to let everyone know that I am working on fixing a few issues with the current versions of the theme (battery icon accuracy, mms display issues, etc.), and also adding support for Jelly Bean. I hope to update the Play Store apps by the end of the night.

Will post another note when I'm finished.
[Android Themes] G8351427:
Hey man. I just updated the three PCB themes I have on my phone to the 7/30 release and I am not seeing any custom battery icons at all. I am only able to select between the two CM9 choices.

Any ideas on why this might be the case?

I went to your website as instructed on the Google Play page and I am not finding any info about this issue. I did read through the XDA forum though, and I see that there have been some problems with the battery icons; I did have the accuracy issue on the previous build, too.
[Android Themes] Pons:
This theme doesn't give you any extra battery theme choices (you're on CM9, so you're limited to the two CM9 selections that CM9 provides), it just themes the ones you have...maybe. I'm not running CM9, so I can't tell you for sure that it will theme them or not. I'm running aokp with the batter bar mod, and I manually select the color of the battery bar.
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hi G8351427, I apologize for not having something on the website. It was my plan, then my ISP decided to have big issues with routing, so I was offline until now. Anyways, I will post something on the website soon. Until then, see my reply below Pons'

You're right Pons, CM9 only has battery icon, and # percentage. The custom battery icons that I had been using are meant to work with ROMs that have a 1% battery mod, or CircleMOD. This is also the reason why people were saying that the battery reporting was inaccurate with my old custom icons.

I looked into it more and figured it out. The CM9/10 battery icon only changes at the following levels:

15%

28%

43%

57%

71%

85%

100%

This means that until your battery level hit one of those percentages above, it would remain the same, so if you booted your phone with 84% power left, my custom icons (as they used to be), would display 84%, but it would not change from 84% until it hit the next level of 71% (or 85% if you were charging). This is why I removed the circle battery icons unless the ROM supports it, like AOKP, etc.

I hope I have explained myself well, and I also hope that others who noticed the battery icon 'inaccuracy' will see this post, because it really does explain everything. There's not much of a way to work around this with the standard CM9/10 way of displaying battery status, so I had to just remove it. Note that for ROMs with 1% battery icon / CircleMOD, the custom icons will still appear and work perfectly.

Thanks for your post, and to everyone for your support by purchasing these themes!
[Android Themes] G8351427:
Hi guys. Thanks for the explanation. I think I understand what you are saying in regards to the battery icon issues. And Scar, thanks for filling me in; I wasn't aware of the ISP issues you were having, so that helped.

Granted, I have no real understanding of what is involved with creating a theme, or the differences between AOKP and CM9 with regard to the different themable components. But what confuses me about the limited levels in CM9 is that I had been using the Black Infinitum theme prior to yours and this had a circle battery icon that worked on 1% increments. I am not sure what the difference is, but that one did work as I was accustomed in CM7.

Any thoughts on what might be different?
[Android Themes] scar45:
I'm not really sure, because to be honest, I've never really used CM7/9/10 as my daily driver, but rather AOKP. Seeing as though you've found a theme that did support it, I will have a look and see what I can possibly do to fix it.

I hope that you won't mind if I can't get to it right away however. It took me a very long time to update all 9 themes to support Jelly Bean, and since I am a freelancer, I really have to get back to the work that pays my bills. I will certainly not overlook this issue though, because I'd surely love to get the circle battery icons working for everyone, but I just need more time.

Hope that sounds alright!
[Android Themes] G8351427:
Hey man, no worries. I am just glad that you have a presence here and are open to feedback.

Thanks for taking the time to chat and offering to have a look!

Hey all,

Quick note to let you know that v1.3 of PCB Series (all colours) HAS BEEN RELEASED!

Here's the change log:

v1.3 (August 4, 2012)

• Created NEW custom battery icons for non-1% modes

• Styled the navbar in supported ROMs (AOKP)

• Added coloured toggle icons (new NFC)

• Semi-styled MMS / Messaging app again (limited by theme engine)

• Fixed keyboard 'hint' text colour (top right numbers on top row keys)

• Fixed keyboard background on tablet UIs

• New preview images in Theme Chooser

• Once again, please (re)rate and spread the word via Twitter/forums/etc.

• Thanks for your support!

Keep an eye on Google Play for the updates to hit!

PCB Series v1.3 has arrived! More goodies included! (from PCB Mini-site)
[Android Themes] krazie1:
Never mind
[Android Themes] ReelFiles:
I just bought PCB Red and I was wondering if the lockscreen circle and targets could be matched on AOKP for SGS4G? I see the corresponding .pngs are included in the .apk, when I extracted it, but it won't apply them to my system for some reason.
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hi ReelFiles, you're right, the PNGs are in there, but are you using ICS by any chance? I can't remember fully, but I don't believe the theme engine applies them on ICS. I am using JB right now, and I do have them applied on the main lockscreen (although the "Google" one does not get applied for some reason). In JB, when you use the AOKP navbar targets (tap, slide up), the original background is used.

I need to dig a bit more to find out what's up with that JB-specific issue, but let me know if you're on ICS. If so, that's probably why the lockscreen circle/target images aren't being applied :(
[Android Themes] ReelFiles:
Yes it's ICS based AOKP for SGS4G. The thread is right here. Is it a problem with it being an .apk? Maybe a flashable .zip could circumvent the ICS limitations? I am not a dev, just taking a wild guess. And I assume the same applies for the USB Mount screen, or is it not supposed to match the color theme?
[Android Themes] Pons:
I haven't been on ICS in awhile, but from what I remember, the USB Mount screen/icon should be themed, but the USB debugging should/can not be (a limit of the Theme Chooser). And yes, a flashable zip could circumvent it.
[Android Themes] ReelFiles:
Ok, cool. The USB mount screen seems to be partially themed; the background is correctly applied but the android icon is still that fugly stock green. :/ I am not worried about the debugging icon, I don't usually enable it.

I do not know how to create a flashable .zip from the .apk. I take it that it's a lot more involved than just simply renaming the file extension.
[Android Themes] scar45:
You're right Pons, it's a limitation of Theme Chooser :(

Hey ReelFiles, to be honest, I don't have the time to package a flashable .zip, which would need modified system APK files that are *exactly* the same as the ROM you're running. This is why I went with the Theme Chooser route, as it's device-independant, provided your ROM has the Theme Chooser Engine. I know its few limitations kind of suck, but it's still the far better choice for theming and providing updates.

Hope that's cool, but once again, thank you big time for using PCB!
[Android Themes] ReelFiles:
Yeah I understand, I am fine with the way it is and went from using red icons to white so now it matches the lockscreen anyway :p
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hi everyone!

I know it's been a long time coming, but I am happy to announce that I've updated ALL PCB Themes to v1.4 which includes support for Jelly Bean 4.2! I had hoped to complete this sooner, but there is a LOT of work involved with updating 10 colours! On top of it all though, I've also updated the PCB Wallpapers app, which now downloads images (there's tons!) from the web. This makes the app MUCH smaller, plus allows for easier wallpaper updates (no app update needed).

Here's a quick excerpt of the latest Change Log entry:

v1.4 (December 8, 2012)

Updated for JB 4.2!

Fixed expanded notification item background

Added missing AOKP / Settings icons

Added new, custom Quick Settings icons + tile

Changed nav-ring trail colour to match theme

Fixed 4.2 notification clock + icon BG shading/presses

See "PCB Carrot" (FREE theme) and "PCB Wallpapers" (FREE app), to compliment this release! (check "more from developer")

Please (re)rate + comment! Thanks for your support!

I've even made a fancy promo image. Hoping you can Tweet and help to spread the word if you like the work that I've done. It's not a full time job of mine, but it surely takes up a lot of time! Otherwise, I just hope you enjoy the theme!

FREE PCB Carrot Theme

FREE PCB Wallpapers App

Thanks everyone, hope you are still enjoying PCB!

(P.S. - Please Tweet/Share/Post this if you're willing to help me out!)

THX for the update ! :highfive:
[Android Themes] scar45:
Has anyone tried the update with a 4.2 ROM? If I missed any icons in Settings from other custom ROMs I haven't tested, let me know, or even better, attach the PNG from source/APK.
[Android Themes] oddspec:
It runs great dude don't have 4.2 on my ROM yet but have some 4.2 apps all looks good this was the first theme I ever bought back when there was only one color and is still the best love the themed Nav bar ( just started using nav bar ) as far as settings I have 2 that are not themed but that's cuz I run tasks aokp sgs2 included a screenshot it the best I could do don't really mind they r not themed since its only his ROM that has these icons I don't expect u to take the time to theme just thought ID post since u asked

The background image of the keyboard isn't good too :banghead:
[Android Themes] scar45:
What's the problem exactly? I've really had nothing but positive feedback on the LatinIME styles...
[Android Themes] GabrielSousa:
heres a image,

has you can see is Stretched :(
[Android Themes] scar45:
Ah yes, and this could be related to the same issue of Theme Chooser not respecting the draw9patch (.9.png) images, however I will surely look into it for the next release. Thanks!
[Android Themes] GabrielSousa:
i crop the com_android_inputmethod_latin_keyboard_background_holo.9.png

to 720x444, and bingo ;) problem solved ;)
[Android Themes] scar45:
Great! BUT, do you mind posting a screenie of the keyboard in both portrait and landscape modes? I want to see how it looks in both. If all is well, I will incorporate your fix into the next update release.

Thanks vladnosferatu!
[Android Themes] GabrielSousa:
yeah, thats the problem :( in landscape is Stretched

but you can use the "drawable-land-xhdpi" dir, right ?

put the images for landscape ;)
[Android Themes] scar45:
I hope so! I'll give it a shot the next time I work on updates and hopefully that will please both device orientations :) Thanks for the help with testing vladnosferatu. Cheers!
[Android Themes] DaniGalaxy:
Just purchased the blue one. Spectacular to say the least!

Working good with Paranoid Android 2.54 on Galaxy S3 and soon i'll test it on PA for Nexus 7.

Will you ever release a different green version like the green on touchwiz launchers? Thanks!

Bump up for PCB Carrot, theme is so awesome and unique.
[Android Themes] scar45:
Hi folks! Just a super-quick update to let everyone know that I certainly plan to continue updating/developing the PCB Themes! It seems that a bit of attention has been brought forth due to PCB Carrot being the 'featured'/demo theme in the Official OPPO N1 CM Edition video (!!!) (skip to 50s if you can't wait):

[youtube]VV-BPYgWDqc[/youtube]

Also, due to the fact that I have a Note 3 now, and it JUST got AOSP, I haven't been able to really work on the theme. Not to mention life happening at the same time...

Anyway, I am very happy that my theme which has been around for quite a while, still has a following, and interaction from the community. To be honest, it really does help to motivate me to continue pushing on!
[Android Themes] TexasLTE:
that's good news to hear ... I still have the 4 versions I purchased ( and they still work fairly well even without any recent updates )
[Android Themes] GabrielSousa:
any news ?
[Android Themes] scar45:
It's killing me that I haven't had the time to update the themes, but it's still in my TODO for sure. With Android L just around the corner (hopefully), I may just update the theme based on that, since there's surely no time to do KitKat + L updates. :(

I'll be sure to update this thread when I do though! Cheers.
[Android Themes] TexasLTE:
Looking forward to the updates...I believe I've purchased most of the various PCB Themes last year
