Thanks for this mod.

Many roms provide the "Real dark" option, but often it affects several apps, like the message app, the Play Store, etc.

I only need a black menu background. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sick1:
Maybe wrong thread to ask, but it looks you know how to turn things black :) . I would need help with callscreen, i use xposed module to change callscreen pictures to full screen and the black themes turn the highlighted area seen on the attachement to black so its on top of the caller picture, and i would like to turn it transparent to see the picture underneath it. In system theme that section is transparent with some stripes.

Thanks.

THANK YOU

THANK YOU .....

Anybody figured out how to fix this frustrating little bug yet? I'm using the latest black background v10.5 on cm10.2 and no matter what I try I can't seem to fix this.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrcooter:
I could be wrong but I think it is one of the ic_ xml files in the drawable folder that's pointing to the wrong icon. I say this because i was having issues with this and the proper png is in there so deleted all the xmls in the dialer's drawable folder in the zip that started with ic_ and zipped it back up. Reverted to the stock dialer. Reapplied this mod and then the issue disappeared...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxSAKISxx:
Just a quick question guys. i recently upgraded to 4.3 and i am stock rooted. The v10.5 works on stock rom? And i can use this mod zip to update edify for zipthemer

?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Hi sakkis. I tried it on stock image and had no problems. Just make a backup to be on the safe site!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pandanomic:
Just thought I'd drop by and mention that this works great on my HTC One with a GE 4.3 ROM installed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] charlie95113:
I was just wondering if you take requests ...I really like this mod its so badass but I also like a lil I was wondering if you can do the full black background with the blue glow outline around the frame like on the HUE theme under themes and apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fedelamb:
There will be an update for 4.4.X rom ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fakeandroid:
Awesome theme.

Nice work, keep it up! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Jesco-:
If no one does it I can upload a test package tomorrow

Someone try this for me https://www.dropbox.com/s/viex8nk7lue6p4p/KitkatToast.zip?m=
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
Someone did all the work of decompiling, reworking, and recompiling the background_holo_dark.xml for me? NICE

All I want is the settings background so I removed the system/app folder, removed everything from system/framework/res except for drawable and nodpi, and replaced the .png in nodpi with my own background image.

Currently creating a nandroid before I flash it and see if it works :D

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

So after doing everything listed above, I have a black settings background instead of the .png I added to /nodpi (using v10.5)

Anyone know why this is? I'm almost certain it has to do with the background_holo_dark.xml file

I can live with the all black. It's MUCH better than the stock gradient. However, I'd love to use my own image. It was so easy to do with with 4.2.2 and below but with 4.3 we need to decompile the XML file.. I tried doing it once and just kept getting FC's haha

I don't mind decompiling it myself if someone wants to tell me what I need to change to get the image to show?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
Okay so I decompiled it and the XML reads

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="@color/black" />
</shape>

What do I need to change in order to have the PNG in /drawable-nodpi show up? I take it I'd have to remove the <solid android:color.....> line and replace it with something directing to the PNG but I have no idea what it would be..

<image android:source="@drawable-nodpi/background_holo_dark.png" /> obviously that's not it but I'm guessing it's something like that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maximh23:
thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Yes. Its now V4(same as the one u used with a couple of changes). I just had to change the number to keep continuity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Hi guys.

Can someone confirm that the CWM version is working properly!:fingers-crossed:

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
It is. I flashed the CWM V4 zip as a quick fix when I was trying out ROMs a few days ago, and it blacked out everything. Thanks for sharing this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Did you notice the changes when you are making a phone call (dark numbers & red end call).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Unfortunately I didn't check for that that. I only noticed the fully black (with no texture) background when in the dialer, along with blacked out pop up menus and Settings background. I'll flash the zip again later and see if those changes you mentioned were applied and let you know.

EDIT: Tried just now. Both of the changes you mentioned worked. So I can confirm that the CWM V4 zip is fully working!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
In the newest version, is everything as black as the dialer? Like true black?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sean-El:
Thank you Original, everything worked fine on CNA on my Toroplus. I was going to make a post tonight or tomorrow with all the inverted apps in a zip, would it be okay to include your zip in there as well so people can flash 1 zip? Proper credit would be given and a link you to your thread. Want to make sure everything is okay before I posted it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
Half of the status bar in the drop down is a different shape of black. A lighter shade, almost gray even. There's also a tiny border in settings at the top separating the status bar that looks to be the same shade. Would look better without it IMO since the border doesn't show up in any of the other modified apps.

Sent from my AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Thanks for the feedback. Which version did u use. V4 should be all black.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Yes sure.:) As long as we keep this threat separate since i am not really a fun of inverted gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
V4. Looks like the tiny border shows in other apps as well, so I'm assuming it's in the framework. I think I "might" have tracked down the off-black/gray thing I was talking about in the drop down. About to test now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandroid13:
Tried it twice and it didn't pass the Nexus "X" screen. :(

Using latest CWM and ARHD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Which zip file (V3 or V4, TWRP or CWM) did you use? ICS or JB ROM?

To be honest this is the 1st report i had for problems. I have reports from people that both version are working!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandroid13:
Latest CWM... and it's JB obviously. When you released V3 I tried and it didn't work, now the same with V4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
I will try something tomorrow and let u know! Thanks for the feedback
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandroid13:
Yeah, sure. Hope it's not related to the other mods I use, so I can use yours as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
What kind of mods?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandroid13:
M+ CircleMod here and RotationLock here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MunkySpunk:
I meant a mod that changes the pull down background to black and that's all. I am using a theme right now that I like all the other elements of, but the pull down background for it doesn't do it for me.

Sent from my rotary dial phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sean-El:
I made a thread for the apps but when I repacked the zip I don't think it flashed correctly. I was trying to find out why the calender won't sync so I haven't put your zip in yet. I may try tomorrow and see if It works now with the correct app. I will let you know. I am thinking the zips may have to remain separate but I like experimenting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
You can change out the PNGs in SystemUI for that yourself. It's super easy to do and wouldn't require original21 to make another zip just for that. Just copy SystemUI.apk to your computer, and extract and edit notification_header_bg.9.png and notification_panel_bg.9.png (both in res/drawable-xhdpi) to all-black. Replace those PNGs back into the apk (just direct copy-paste, no need for decompiling or anything), place SystemUI.apk back into system/apps, set permissions, reboot, and you're all good.

Why don't you make one flashable zip file with all the mods you like.

Tried once and got stuck too...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
One of the other mods you use overrides my file. Did you try flashing my file last?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandroid13:
Well, I install all mods before I start a new setup after a wipe... Then I tried yours and got stuck, had to reinstall all the apps. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandroid13:
Also, why can't I extract the files from your zip? 7-zip returns a lot of errors. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
You can also try to copy all the folders from my zip file, add them to a zip file and then use zipthemer to make a flashable zip file. As i said i am not a developer. I just posted the files i use to theme my phone. I used this file with CNA, Slim Bean, Rascream, and a couple of more roms and everything is working fine. I also have a few more version with other modifications (they also included navbar buttons) and again everything works fine.

What i do is to open the zipfile with windows explorer and add the icons i want.

I am realy sorry i can help you more. I hope you find a solution really soon.:fingers-crossed:

P.S. I only flash this mod on my phone so maybe this is the reason i don't have any of these problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandroid13:
I was trying this but I can't extract the files... 7-zip says something about "unsupported compression method" :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Amazing job, Original. Just flashed TWRP4 and it's FANTASTIC!!! EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! :):D:laugh::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Its the best solution for all those people that need black backgrounds only. I used it with many custom roms!

Yes v.good, thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
Hi,

the problem is your mod. Injection can't work and will break systemui and framework-res for sure if apk wasn't standard compliant compiled. And they aren't. So fault is not on original21 side ;)

@all ( I hope it is ok original21) a bit extended version of originals (also black notification bar, and some hdpi issues fixed). Also working on all roms and on all recoverys. Just flash and reboot. Don't be irritated that the file name has slimbean in it ;)

Amazing job! Using TWRP4 on AndroidMe CM10 version, just flawless!

Hope th other friend can make MMS, Calendar, etc in black, just 24k golden work mates :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
you can try this. I guess the gapps should work on AndroidMe.....but please do backup before. I'm not sure and have no time to check it myself.

EDIT: Wasn't a goog idea. But a better one:

edit: the extra package and the googleNOW package should work on AnroidMe. (but not slimgapps and aio!!!!!)

No problem my friend! :) We are all here to learn from each other. Just note that my file includes some mods in the contacts, phone & mms apk. These apks are not fully inverted, i have just included some black backgrounds in the dialer and also changed a few icons that i like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandroid13:
So what can I do? Zipthemer only? Had a hard time extracting the images, only worked on Ubuntu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kufikugel:
upload the original rom apks (systemui and framework-res) and the modded on please (be sure that the come from the same rom version). I will correct the mod for you. Just two minutes.

Just noticed that default keyboard has a grey gradient background, could this be made black too on v5? Just the background, not the keys ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
You can just replace the PNGs in LatinIME.apk. Extract keyboard_background.9.png, keyboard_background_holo.9.png, and also keyboard_suggest_strip_holo.9.png (if you want the autocorrect suggestion part blacked out as well) from res/drawable-xhdpi, change them to black images, and you'll get a blacked out keyboard background. Take a look at the pic I attached to see if that matches what you want.

this is an awesome mod, just the right amount of black in all the right places, thanks!

since i get bored easily, i like to change things around every now and then - it would be nice if this were bundled in a CM/AOKP (T-mobile) theme APK or in zipthemer format (so its easy to undo). I'm going to play around with the latter and see what I can do.

thanks again for making this available, appreciate it!

No one asked for your negative comments... So don't give them... Thanx... ;) well I like the dialer mod... :D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dp917:
If I wanted to add some more images to this (soft keys...), would all I have to do is place the images in the right folders and everything be set? I know with theme chooser themes xml needs to be edited and such but I don't see any xml files in this zip. Just wondering because right now I have a set of images for settings, systemui, and framework that I drag into the ROM I want to flash with 7zip and your MOD already has most of these set, this would make my whole process a lot easier!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eng.stk:
I'm following this thread since the beginning and helping original21 and he stated already this is about Universal Black Backgrounds, not full on apps MODs... go see my other "negative" comments"...

As averyone has different tastes, maybe you can get what you want on another App MOD thread, maybe someone can help.

And yes, that dialer is rubbish. And I'm not being negtive, if I wad negative the comment would be something like " It's looks like s*** ".

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilDX:
so, umm, this theme is perfect as is but i was thinking about making a couple of tiny little edits to the ZipThemer file to match my personal preferences... but i'm sort of stuck on something. i want to change the color of the dialog borders and the dividers in the menus to ICS blue. i have a galaxy nexus so i'm looking in the framework-res.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi folder and i see a couple of candidates:

can anyone tell me if either of these PNGs control the menu dividers (i.e., horizontal dividers in settings menu)?

dialog_divider_horizontal_holo_dark.9.png or menu_separator.9.png

can anyone tell me if the border color in these guys control the border color of the dialog boxes (i.e., power off menu)?

dialog_[top/middle/bottom]_holo_dark.9.png

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
If I remember correctly list_divider_holo_dark.9.png is what controls those faint grey lines in Settings/other apps and in popup dialog boxes as well. When I changed it to a black image it got rid of the lines.

I have no idea about the border color though. Looking at an edited framework-res.apk for Slim Bean that I'm currently using, it looks like there are a whole bunch that need to be edited. You could try dl-ing the Slim mod I mentioned and using it as a reference: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...s/385-slimbean-theme-framework-dark-blue-glow. Look for any .9.pngs in the drawable-xhdpi folder that are black with a blue glow, those are all involved in popup dialog boxes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilDX:
thanks very much for pointing me towards the divider png, and the tip for researching the border colors, I will download the Slim mod you linked and do a little experimenting, thanks!

How do you get the notification to become black as well? The status bar is black, the notification bar background is black, yet, my notifications still sit on a gray background. How can I change this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natezire71:
Is it SystemUI related? or maybe framework related? I haven't a clue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilDX:
hey Original, is there any reason why you didn't include the keyboard mod in your zipthemer file?

it's referenced in the XML but the files aren't in the Zip...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Hi. The only change in the keyboard is the background. Its now black instead of grey. Unless i made some thing wrong.i will check it later when i am home.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eng.stk:
What version are you using? flashable or zipthemer? Wipe cache and dalvik on recovery, it should help. And don't use any theme, this is for stock theme only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natezire71:
I used V5. Wiping caches has nothing to do with this. I don't use any themes. Is the one you're using have black backgrounds for incoming notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
There are no black backgrounds for incoming notifications. The notification only background should be black. You could add the relevant image (i don' t know which one) on your zip file and that will do the job. ;)

I say incoming, I mean just any notification in the notification bar. Want me to post a screenshot?
