Unable to apply Zenyth Keys after applying this. Can someone help?
[Android Themes] xflowy:
nice changes!

is there any chance to make the status bar icons for wifi and mobile signal white if google connected?
[Android Themes] osahitzelgsngar:
i'll have a look

you can flash zenyth keys but the modified images will be overwritten by the theme included ones. you would have to delete or modify them in the theme apk file

these icons actually get brighter when connected.
[Android Themes] TheMysteriousOne:
How do I do that?

unable to apply icon in parandroid 3 on jb 4.2.2

Love the theme great work donated for this theme since its just so cool. Thanks. The problem I'm having is first time I applied the theme via setting >themes> choose theme and apply and then went to nova launcher and applied the the theme icons all great and icons changed but I reinstalled the OS paranoidandroid 3 and installed these every thing works except the icons. I'm clueless on what to do about it also using nova launcher it does not pick up the icons. So when I apply the theme the icons would not change last time I had to go into nova icon settings and apply themes icons so it picked up those icons last time the but its not doing that now. Help is appreciated. Using note 2 here

Thanks.

@blackout1911: tapatalk is unbelievable ... THANKS, looking forward to seeing more from your work !
[Android Themes] maxamus007:
Firstly, BRILLIANT THEME!

I have noticed an issue im having.

On latest Paranoid Android ROM with latest GApps.

As you can see from the attached screenshot bits of the wallpaper are showing up on the quick settings [grey bits].

Secondly, is it possible to use stock battery/wifi/signal icons on the status bar?

I find the themed ones too small and the battery does not reflect the real percentage of the battery.

Cant attach screenshot so will email you it and this message.
[Android Themes] minhajlk:
Speed dial on the phone dialer is missing, Is this by design of CM10.1 ROM or specific to your theme.
[Android Themes] osahitzelgsngar:
reapply stock theme and look if its still missing then you know.

the wallpaper showing up is because quick settings background is a little transparent.

the screenshot you sent to me has white statusbar icons... blackedout theme icons are gray so i would say that are not mine. maybe you had an other theme installed before and after applying blackedout you didnt reboot?!
[Android Themes] maxamus007:
I've rebooted several times.

Ive had had any themes installed previously apart from your free version of the same theme.

The status bar icons you can see in the screenshot are static and do not change with the system values. Somehow i need to try to get the ones you have on the theme or the default system ones back.

PS. When i go back to stock theme the default icons show up again. Just not when i apply this theme....

And, the grey background only appears on the lockscreen- not on the homescreen or any where else.

just checked this. everything ok here and with the images. you are on latest version? wich rom do you use? maybe rom issue?

if youre on cm9 you have to replace mms.apk with one from cm10.

if you have the option in settings -> system -> status bar -> battery status style -> set to "percentage" it should work

dont know if that rom has that option

if you could provide me systemui.apk from that rom i can check that
