---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

Thank you! Is my pleasure..... I've always used/liked your work.

I have a question... is there anything you can do to theme the messaging app? It looks like this right now .

During a conversation can't even see the text .

This has been happening lately on PA. Ever since Halo came out.

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with your theme but maybe is something you can look into .

Thanks man! Keep up the good work...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
What you can do is replace MMS.Apk from Pa with the CM or AOKP one.. I used to like pa when it was cm based but once they went to do their own thing I went back to cm and AOKP. I am tired of fixing the issues they (pa) introduce to is themers. First the per app color stuff now halo.. So yes we could uncompile the pa MMS.Apk and fix it but I am sure that the next update brings new issues. I know pa is popular with the guys but I don't really need halo and all these features :)I don't even need ribbon from pa :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] buster041284:
any cm mms or aokp apk u put in PA u get FC one of the reason i dont use PA anymore
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jassycliq:
Any chance of making a version of this theme that's compatible with stock? Using Cydia Substrate and Winterboard to apply the theme and it looks great with the quick setting tiles and the power menu but things like Play Music, Mms (even the cm one), and Google Now are messed up. I'm using it either way but it's just a bit hard to read certain things. =) TIA
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Devo7v:
Two things, the "Update" and "Uninstall" buttons are white as shown in your screenshot. Second, after clicking the update button the permissions window that pops up in still white. Other than that it looks amazing.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Devo7v:
For beta testing, have you considered using the alpha and beta testing options available to developers in the Google Play Store?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
I have, but then again, there will only be 1-4 usual beta testers so hardly worth the effort I think ;) thanks for the suggestion though.

I fixed a couple of issues with the theme (PlayMusic)

regarding your findings:

the white background in permissions when downloading app and white install/uninstall buttons are - unfortunately hardcoded AGAIN in the app as white....:(

I have to say, looking at the apps in that detail as I am right now, I cannot help but feel that google "rushed" a lot of these apps. Went through all the trouble of defining colors in styles and colors.xml, and then go to the layout and rather than refering to these defined colors -> they simply hardcode it as #ffffffff (which is white)... ::(

ah well :)

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] that did the testing -> thanks guys your feedback is appreciated. I think I fixed most issues I can (other where google has hardcoded something, there I had to find compromised) :) please UNINSTALL your beta I sent you via PM and install the market version of V.7 :) thanks
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
right then, about done with keep app. not sure whether the default color should be light or dark. Given the note colors you can chose are pretty light I tend to think i need a dark/black color font, but white is also pretty ok.

feedback?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
right then, giving the new gmail 4.5 apk a try to see whether it can be properly themed

AND

of course, Google defined lots of colors in the right sections we can attack with theme-chooser..

like this nice selector in colors.xml in the gmail 4.5 apk.

<color name="compose_background_color">#xxxxx</item>

So for those of you "not-in-the-know" -> theme chooser can redirect almost anything in colors.xml, styles and drawables. So you would think, google developed the app properly, as they defined the colors CORRECTLY in the colors.xml/styles.xmls. The name clearly defined this as "background color of compose view...."

BUT then i find this....

compose.xml in layout -> and layout hardcoding means "no go".

<LinearLayout android:id="@id/compose" [COLOR="Red"]android:background="@*android:color/white"[/COLOR]

Correct should have been

<LinearLayout android:id="@id/compose" [COLOR="Red"]android:background="@color/compose_background_color"[/COLOR]

what that means you ask? same as before.. nogo for themeing Gmail via theme chooser
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 350d:
I downloaded and installed successfully Thyrus holo black theme from Google play, but failed to apply my nexus 4 of CM RC4! --- "Complied error, please contact..." (In fact I could use it on my nexus 7 of CM Nightly - May 18,2013).

So...??
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Did you check what I wrote in the description about this error?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 350d:
Done! Sorry, lazy to check description near the bottom…… Cheers.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 350d:
OP, Holo icon in QSP is better than present transparent bg,looks a little bit dazed. (personal opinion).

You do a great theme!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Not sure what you mean??

At all others: fixed an issue with the new google keyboard on play store. Had to un-theme a lot from the keyboard theming to ensure both (aosp and store version) work fine with theme installed. 7.5 incoming to market.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Added version 7.6 on market (enhancements to Google Play Theme)

- Color fonts on review subtitle text fixed (such as which device etc)

- Background fixed on review summary bars (average ratings etc)

- Minor changes to card background (a bit darker).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
since justin bugged me about theming swype.. any of my users use swype (paid) and want to test?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] - need input:

When theming swype (which has simliar issues when themeing as new Google Market Keyboard) I created a gradient keyset. For fun, I actually ported these to the ASOP and Market Keyboards from Google.

Which do you prefer?

Stock Google:

Based on gradient keys to ensure the black small numbers can be seen
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tsatomas:
Certainly I prefer gradient. It has a look of 3d!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] damngood98:
gradient for sure...gives it more depth....and excellent work btw, my favorite theme
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
LOOOL.. in my galaxy nexus thread the verdict is "no gradient" so far...it is a tie for now...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tsatomas:
I am afraid you got a problem! You should make two themes !!!:p
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
lllol. not for a simple keyboard theme I am afraid :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Added a new theme to the market - with UI only no apps themed

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.template.theme.ThyrusHoloUIonly
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] users:

I will no longer theme the Google Keyboards in any of my themes. I have explained many times in this threat and in developer comments as well as directly in the description of my themes that certain issues with the Google Keyboard that was launched at the Play Store prevent the Google Keyboards (AOSP and Play Version) to be properly themed without negative effects.

This caused implications - in order to be able to read the small numbers in black font the only way to solve was to use was a gradient background which now everyone refers to as glossy - or keep the google flat grey keys. I also went through the trouble of asking for feedback here in the threat and the overwhelming response of 5(!!) users (out of more than 10.000) caused this change.

However since I apparently cannot please everyone, I have decided no longer to theme Google keyboard. I will update my themes now.

If you want a black themed Google keyboard, download one from somewhere else and flash. I have spend enough time trying to explain and I am really tired of it.

I will keep Swype themed though.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] evonc:
Great work on the theme Thyrus. However, would it be possible to port the dark/holo/flat theme from the stock keyboard over to Swype as a replacement for one of the other presets?

Pushed a small update - fixing some issues in contacts.apk that went unnoticed for 12 months now :)

How to get back to your default wallpaper?:)

Tapatalk via nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
great idea and already done :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
I do love talking to myself in this thread I guess....

Some slight enhancements to market:

- Modified text color (brighter) for readability enhancements in app details

- Changed ratingbar colors to holo blue

- Changed some colors for review device and "edited" text for reviews

- Changed rating star colors for all apps: default: Set by type (app/books/music etc) -> now is always holo blue no matter what type (looked like gingerbread leftovers before in apps/music) when an app was rated...

left: before - right new
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tsatomas:
Even not answering I read your talking and your job. Only, for me at mom I am in baked ROM which is already black!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] evonc:
Very nice! I like the little changes. Really refines things!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ceejay83:
Noticed a minor bug on CM. The network mode tile should have a big 2G icon instead of the aokp style 2G icon when in 2G mode
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Hi all,

Just to let you know I will be taking a break from theming for a while. I will not be looking at Android or working on my themes for the next couple of weeks.

Cheers

Playing around with the dialer in Android 4.3 - the very black version I posted on the market is - well very black :)

So I reintroduced the texture (but darkened it) and added a blue divider line...

So which do you guys prefer.

Superblack or "new style"
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] damngood98:
superblack :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] evonc:
Definitely superblack.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Whilst waiting for a AOKP Version of Android 4.3, I am using CM10.2 unofficial builds. However there is something missing... :)

So I created a mod for CM10.2 unofficial for the Nexus 4 to allow:

- Center clock in Status Bar

- Enable semi-transparency for NAV and StatusBar - (you may want to apply my theme also on the market - thyrusholo black)

NOTE: If you want the nav bar semi-transparent, use NOVA launcher instead of trebuchet - trebuchet doesnt support transparency of the navbar

Tested and works on the Aug1 and Aug2 unofficial CM10.2 builds for MAKO

DOWNLOAD fixed version
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Guys,

I am so sorry - the mod I uploaded had some leftover items in the script that deleted GoogleNow in system/app and /data - I totally forgot that I had that in my script. Sorry for any inconvenience caused...:crying:

I uploaded a FIXED version - please download GoogleNow from the market.

DOWNLOAD fixed version.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
It has been almost 1 year - and I finally(!!!) managed to fix a bug that annoyed me for a long time.

In the contacts.apk -> when you select my theme and try to edit a contact, the date events (such as birthday etc) always where whitish on white. Now, with a lot of redirects of many framework parts I was able to finally fix it - without the need for a modified contacts.apk!

However, this change was very heavy and i need some of you guys to run a couple of tests for me -> using your apps, editing contacts etc just like you would do it normally. the change is mostly affecting apps with the "holo.light" framework used.

testers needed - please PM and I will send you the link.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Right then, I think I tackled MOST of these issues

Redid the black popups/panel redirects and changed the way the holo.light popups appear. This should solve a number of issues with these popups

I now need a broader audience to test - most apps that I have never even heard about MAY have issues -> some devs still use a theme color (light or holo), and then hardcode text colors into their app so that may cause issues with the black popups/dialogues. Please report these as you find them please.

Why did I do all that:

1. This way I can edit backgrounds (example: pop-ups in playstore, in-app purchases, Settings Background in Music etc) and many other items I cannot theme in the app directly.

2. System popups are now all transparent black (example: long press homescreen to select apps/wallpapers)

Issues:

- I had to change the popups to "semi transparent" -> some apps, like hangout, have black font hardcoded -> at least they are visible on the semitransparent popups

DOWNLOAD Version 48 TEST
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] orihuri:
The only issue that I find is when editing a contact the titles are white on white.. Im running euroskank cm 10.2 the last nightly. I attached a screen shot
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
that is a contacts.apk issue - CM10.2 have not yet merged the old theme chooser edits (like the account container background) ..

I can send you a version that I did for contacts.apk if you want
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Going forward - i will use the beta user feature of the play store. This is the community for you to join. once accepted you wil get the beta updates automatically via the play store

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tsatomas:
OK, I join, waiting for approval. I had not create a public profile, it is a little complicate (mostly due to translation in native language of the page).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Starymari:
Thank you, I've started testing the theme now. I love the Simple Elegance of it. I will let you know if I find any bugs. :o
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] BYTeXperience:
Superblack for sure is way better then new style, so please if it's possible return to superblack...

A little bug, when the right 3 dots are pressed on the Phone Dialer the popup menu is grey not black (using SlimBean-A3 4.3 JSS15J based ROM).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tsatomas:
For the popup menu, two screenshots the first from nstools where you can see that it is somehow confusing because of the transparency, the sec from xda app it seems that brightness in popup is reduced .

( In case that I should post these in Google+ or elsewhere let me know)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Thanks. I am playing around with the transparency at the moment, that should resolve item 1. Item 2 I will have a look at.

This really is a huge undertaking I started here apparently. I think I may have to rethink my approach...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Here is whats fixed/new:

- Changed some of the color redirects to holo.light instead of grey -> should help visibility I hope in some apps (I hope)

- Toned down transparency, so now a little less transparent on the popups

- Themed Email and Gmail, this way I can actually overwrite the colors better

coming soon to beta update
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ca110475:
ciao Thyrus

I'm a happy user of your theme (complete version) since a long time.

Since a few updates, i noticed a strange behaviour of the status bar, which appears grey instead of black as supposed.

See pic.

This happens with most of, but not all, the apps. Google apps anyway seem to be not affected.

Currently on latest uXylon 4.2.2 rom.

Any way of fixing this? Tia
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tsatomas:
Have you tried the last version? Seems to be black with it not grey( for me at least)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ca110475:
yep same behaviour with today's update, even rebooted.

I can assure you is grey, big difference if switching to default system ui theme where it stays black.

Sometimes it also contains kind of reflections with the text which is supposed to be above the one shown in the app, so basically out of the screen, hidden by the status bar itself.

At first i thought it was related with transparency of the status bar you can set in rom' preferences but no, same behaviour with transparency completely off :/

Tapatalked via Nexus ⁴
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
In my beta testing community I have taken off the translucency of the status bar.

Have you tried to do a cache/dalvik wipe? I've had some trouble with themes not being applied properly before. Could be worth a try..

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Nope it clearly is theme related. If you are a beta user the status bar will be solid black. Only the current market theme has it enabled.

Hi,

I'm using cm 10.2 unofficial build. I hv downloaded the theme from play store. When I'm trying to use it.. It says theme is improperly compiled. Am I missing something or doing something wrong??
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] damngood98:
sounds like you need to go to the default theme that comes with your rom. reboot after applying it and it should take afterwards

PS just for the record, I am still themeing - but most of my stuff will be directly in the Google + beta community I have opened a couple of months ago.

Like this one for example - ThyrusHolo kitkat edition

I deleted the system, and all the caches/internal,I restored with "odin SPH-L900_L900VPALJ1_L900VPALJ1_L900SPTALJ1.tar.md5" but now there is only 5 toggles in the drop down and multiscreen is gone. Does anyone now what can be done?

Reflash your rom. Don't wipe data before doing so and odds are you will be fine. Make Nandroids!

I just reflashed again with odin and it's the same, plus i made a nandroid but I didn't put on the computer and ended up deleting it. I'll just try something other than a odin flashable image..

Hey guys, I'm using these great apps to replace my launcher and lockscreen.

The problem is: Eventually, when I push the home button and unlock my device, all icons are gone for a few seconds (as if the launcher was restarting). I don't know what is going on and didn't found anything on google.

Does anyone know what is causing this? Any tips?

I know it's probably Holo Locker's fault, but it would be nice to fix that without having to remove it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] chrismast:
Sounds like a launcher redraw, I don't know holo locker but in apex you got an option to keep it in memory to reduce those redraws. Maybe try it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fndpena:
I have found the option, I'll give a try.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Dmwitz:
It definitly sounds like launcher redraw. It happened to me very often on my SGSI. Normally after using an app the steals lots of ram or one that stores alot in the cache memory.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] zodiaxe66:
U should spend 4$$ on the go launcher holiday special,its a lightweight version of normal go launcher ex witch also includes go locker integrated and it is only 4.7 mb.

A lot of the additional crap from go launcher is gone,but still customizable with themes-text color-icon size-etc..it is so fast,smooth and stable..really a joy to use IMO..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fndpena:
Problem fixed. Thanks.

The reason for I never got Go Launcher is because imo it's way customized. And I like the look and feel of the stock android from nexus. But thanks for the tip, I'll watch some videos to see how it is...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] zodiaxe66:
It is slimmed down about 40%.I personally think that to much crap is filled in free go launcher ex,but the holiday edition is so fast and stable.the reviews on play store is amazing,I mean ppl can't/ won't read OP and also don't uninstall their free go launcher and go locker before installing the paid one.go locker is integrated in the paid version.and ofcause u can not restore your settings from free launcher as this is a completely different launcher,but so what it takes max 30 min to set up your app/widgets on homescreen,if u really have cramped up your homescreens..

Refund it within 15min,I do that quite often if I don't like the apps I just purchased.

Who among you have tried both a wet- and dry-installation screen protector? Which do you prefer?

In searching through these threads, the only wet-installation I've seen mentioned by name is the skinomi. Are there others?

I *think* I want a wet-installation, plus matte, glare-reducing protector, but I will be waiting to see the results of this survey...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
I haven't tried the dry type on the Flyer, but had plenty of them on my past phones. Now its all wet apply for me. They are much easier to apply. You can "slide" the protector around a bit to get the position just right before you squeegee it in place. With dry type, you pretty much have to stick it on the correct location right off the bat, otherwise you have to take it off and try again.

Also, not sure why, but for some reason I've had much better success getting a flawless install with no dust under the protector with The wet type. With the dry type (and I tried a few) it took quite a bit of practice and care before I could get a decent installation. Even then, there was usually a speck of dust or 2 under the protector, that I decided to live with. With the wet type, the first one I ever did was effortless and dust free, as were the couple subsequent installations on other devices. No idea why the wet apply method makes a difference on this, but it seems to.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freworld:
Applying these screen-protectors is such a PITA.

Darn i never ever got a fully clean PERFECT application. (some lint or air bubble always gets in). Its more difficult for applying to large size screens.

I bought 4 screenguards (some 4$ each) alongside my flyer..as i knew i would never be able to do a clean install.

1st application was a bummer. As of now, i am on 2nd one and looking to replace it(has artifacts beneath & is worn out now) with 3rd

Can anyone point to some good instructional videos or guides?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dbugs777:
i'm using dry method... haven't seen the wet method but i think it makes easier to install
