It seems that this zip breaks the phone application on aokp 12/4 build.

I also use the one from the OP and got the same result "phone.apk isn't installed"

Maybe because it's for xylon and pa and not aokp?

Any chance of recreating these autobrightness mods for the Dec 6th build? Cant wait till the auto brightness adjustments are added back in.

http://goo.im/devs/roman/aokp_mako/aokp_mako_unofficial_Dec-06-12.zip
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Thyrus:
yes and yes

I just added 2 mods that increase the auto-brightness settings for the AOKP Dec 6th build ROM for the Nexus 4.

Medium - auto-brightness settings were enhanced with 20 levels instead of the stock 10. All levels up to 100 lux were enhanced SLIGHTLY

HIGH - auto-brightness settings were enhanced with 20 levels instead of the stock 10. All levels up to 400 lux were increased significantly

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MiG123:
hmm im a little confused here, does this mean each aokp build would require a different brightness mod file? I'm hesitant to flash this cuz im on dec5 unofficial and dunno if its safe to flash either file.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Thyrus:
The modifications are applied to the framework–res. So yes I need to redo them every build and you need to flash the applicable one...

Flashed first the contact mms mod AOKP to my sgs(Hellybean 4.2- based on cm10) but it didnt work(looks like stock). Then I installed your holoblack theme and is working fine and contact mms black too. I keep it for alternate because I like to have a litlle color here and there!

Thank you

You've always done such cohesive, mature and beautiful themes. I ran yours on my EVO 3D.

Looks great on here, too.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Thyrus:
thanks rlaw :) appreciate the feedback.

To all:

I know it is a little hit and miss nowadays for us themers with many 4.2.1 roms coming out with their own little adaptations, some implement the themable contacts/MMS, others dont.

Best in class are still xylon ROM and AOKP when it comes to enabling us themers to do our job with CM trailing a little behind and other ROM chefs totally ignoring this. Most other ASOP based ROMS still just the same crappy hand-coded values/colors into the apps as google "envisioned" which makes it impossible for us to use the theme-engine.

I never liked to modify apps directly for many reasons, so theming via the theme choser is the right way forward (across roms/accross android versions/across devices)

Hey Thyrus,

Hate to keep asking but can you provide your autobrightness mod for AOKP December 10th (http://goo.im/devs/roman/aokp_mako/aokp_mako_unofficial_Dec-10-12.zip)? Wish there was a quick script we could assemble to do this automatically until they add back the autobrightness tweaks options in AOKP. Your work is MUCH appreciated!

Just one small graphic problem. Using xylon 11, if I use the quick reply option for texts, once you start to type, you can barely see the send key. It looks fine if you reply from messaging. Only when you use the quick reply option since it still uses a white background. Everything else works great!

Go to settings in MMS, select "use dark theme" and it will work

So, today i want to try AOKP on my N4, is the MMS Theming Mod from the OP Post working on the latest AOKP nightlies, or do I even need it, since your Auto Brightness Mod got also merged in? I would love to use your Theme on AOKP so im just checking :)

I am running the Muzzy rom, just got my Nexus 4 and I love it except coming from a One S with super amoled the brightness on this screen is horrendus. I downloaded the zip file for the auto brightness high and am trying to install it but it just loops in the boot screen. Am I doing something wrong? do you need to have a certain rom to run this? I was assuming it was just a MOD and it can run on any rom?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ceejay83:
Where did you get that info from? Its only for aokp. Says in the op and the file name says for aokp. One would believe it's only for aokp

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Shadow-Nexus:
Since when does the one s have a super amoled screen?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ceejay83:
No, you need aokp rom. But the op hasn't updated that auto brightness in a long time so it's outdated. I recommend lux app in play store. You can modify the brightness settings

Anyone can help me get the "background_holo_dark" actually black like in this theme? for those who dont know i mean like in settings, you have a greyish bg which was black in other android versions but changed to greyish from ICS and on! on ICS it was a PNG and was located on Drawable-nodpi but now seems like they removed it on 4.2 so im not being able to find it!... If anyone can help me i really gonna appreciate it !... Im not a noob so get to the point and save me and you some time :)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Hi guys,

I will need some testers.

Whilst there are some limitations when it comes to theming of certain apps (calendar.apk and email.apk), I have spent around 20 hours on modifying my theme to enable some more blackness.

The biggest change will be related to email.apk -> but I also, in the process, redefined the "holo-light" theme (so the whiteish/greyish submenus, menus, lists etc) so that I have de-facto tricked it into applying the "holo.dark" theme. This change is applied across the entire system, meaning that all apps that use the "holo-light" theme will, to degree, now use black headers, black lists and selectors etc.

However, as this is a pretty heavy change (and could affect many apps I dont use), can you please test this theme for me before I launch it on the market? All apps use either holo.dark or holo.light (i.e email/calendar use holo.light) as well as most market apps.

if you are up for it...

- reset your theme (ie. select system theme from theme chooser, then reboot)

- download and install the attached apk, it will replace my theme if you use the one from the market

- apply my theme, then reboot

- and test away and provide me with as much feedback as you can.

Cheers

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ridearoundsolo:
This is a good theme on phones, but my nexus 7 has jagged volume sliders and brightness sliders its on all Roms with theme manager and is fixed with a lower DPI changed
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Hi kind testers,

Thanks to the feedback provided so far.

The most common issues reported are:

- Grey font in menus and submenus as well as in the apps itself (gmail/email composing for example)

Reason:

I have, in my redirects, redirected most of the action bars/submenus to "thinking" they are indeed using the holo black style instead of the holo white. As a consequence, I have used grey to ensure that I do not get any white-on-white or black-on-black in the hundreds of apps/menus.

Can I fix it?

I do agree that this is not ideal, in my newest test version I have changed this, and it probably will work with the majority of menus and apps -> but there are some cases where this does not work - examples are some apps have hardcoded "modifications" of font colors etc that differ from the style settings in the layout of holo dark and holo light, and I would have to amend these on a case-by-case basis and I will never be able to ensure ALL apps are ok.

- Hard-to-see menu/send icons

Reason:

Android has mutliple icons, most for use when using "holo light" or "holo dark" style -> so in fact most icons are duplicated, one lighter and one darker in the framework-res.apk.

Now, given I have had to work around this when applying this universal theming trick, I have redirected some of these icons to use the "dark" even when the system calls for a light theme to be applied. The issue reels its ugly head when an app uses the dark and light action bars (the top action bar should be fine, but the lower one may have the wrong icons used.

Can I fix it?

I have made some modifications but more work is needed but I do not think this will work 100% all the time.

Tablet dual pane windows (one dark, other pane white)

Reason:

In the calendar app and the email app, as well as in other google apps, the "light" theme is hardcoded in an area of the app that we themers cannot touch using theme chooser (example: hardcoded in manifest of app). Now as far as the email app is concerned I was able to fix some of that (i.e. on phone the list is black, the email individually still have a black background as this hardcoded in an area we cannot alter.) On a tablet, this obviously looks wrong and I am afraid there is nothing I can do about that.

Conclusion:

Given that this attempt will, ultimately, lead to a compromise one way or the other and may affect many different apps, I will continue to toy around with the idea of a universal theme trick for blacked out apps. However, I do not think I will publish this version on the market, the majority of the approx. 50.000 users of my theme will not read xda threads to understand why some apps may look out of place.

So, in conclusion, if you are up for "what we can do" and live with compromises, you will find the latest versions of my theme in this thread and they will be enhanced compared to the one on the market.

Latest version is attached for perusal.

AFAIK this is customisable in CM10s messaging settings (use dark or light theme)

FYi - just pushed a new update to the market should be available in 2-3 hrs
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tsatomas:
The new update in market will be for v60?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
nope. V60 is XDA only - but quite frankly I have (sorta) given up theming the "non-themable" apps such as email.apk and others that i attempted in the XDA/V60 version. The google original apps are so unfriendly when it comes to themeing via theme choosers (by hardcoding some stuff in androidmanifest and other areas) that whatever I can do it looks "incomplete" and I am really not fond of it for now.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tsatomas:
Well , don't give up. Here in xda I think we can understand and make compromise.

Keep going!

Will the themeable contacts and MMS mods work on the latest xylon roms ? 4.2.2?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
sound icon: grey is stock and it is supposed to be that way, only icons that differentiate states "connected" and "fully connected" are ics blue. so works as designed :)

Quick settings:"off" is indicated as "grey". "On" or activated is indicated as "white"

example: sound mode "silent" -> off is grey, means silent mode is not active. "Silent on" means activated and is white

There are too many roms out there with many devs who do their own thing... My advice is to use AOKP or CM10 based roms. There is a reason why cm10 and aokp add cherry picks to make these apps themeable...i would love to help but I am unable to ensure that the devs do it properly...

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Guys,

As of today (yesterday to be precise), CM has merged and accepted a handful of changes with theming contacts.apk in landscape/tablet mode. I am happy to report that with these changes merged, we (meaning the themers) now have flushed out the last remaining issues with contacts.apk.

My themes will work without any changes once you use the nightly/updated from CM-based ROMS that include these merges. Again, and I repeat - you will see these changes on CM10 nightlys on/after April 5 2013 builds and on CM10 BASED roms that merge these changes to their ROM.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/34469/

I got fed up waiting so I integrated the changes into my AOKP Contacts.apk (attached for your convenience), but you can just wait for your ROM to merge these changes if you are not in a hurry.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Hi guys,

after a couple of days with limited sleep, a handful of themers have now worked together on enabling the new play music app to be themed.

Together we have made some progress and now can update our themes.... :)

It does have some limitations due to Google's ongoing - for lack of a better reason - sloppyness to hardcode certain font colors/backgrounds in the app we cannot theme (such as the dropdown lists being white, settings font color being black etc), but overall I am pleased with it. The grey background is a compromise to be able to read the text in settings....

Have a look yourself and let me know what issues you may have, the theme has been updated in the market.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Just pushed an update to adress the play controls being too "in your face" and the new account setup font issues :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Devo7v:
I just wanted to say that the latest update for the Music app looks great. It sucks about the settings screen having to be grey, but I don't think people will be accessing that screen enough for it to matter. I'm always amazed at the work you do. My only suggestion would be to either color the headphones icon and menu bars in the top left as white to match the font color right next to it, or to have it be colorized to match the app icon (I don't know if this is possible).

This is by far the best inverted theme I've used and I appreciate all your hard work. Hopefully you and other "handful of themers" can figure out how to invert some of the other Google apps (Google Voice hint hint).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
to be up-to-speed you can read our themer's talk HERE. This way you see which themer is working on what. At the moment most of us are theming music :)

As for me, given google voice is US only (at least here in Europe) and I cannot theme something I cannot even test I am afraid.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Devo7v:
Thanks for the link, I've subscribed to the topic so I can see what's going on. From what I've read in the topic it looks like Google Voice cannot be themed via theme chooser, same with Hangouts, Gmail, and Google+. It really is a shame, I wish Google would write the app in such a way that they could be themed so that I could install the market versions of their apps and get the updates when they come out.

Anyways, thank you for all your work on this and if you ever need a beta tester for anything I'm more than happy to help.

EDIT: Just in case anybody else is looking here is the post that basically says that Google Voice cannot be themed via theme chooser.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Guys - I need a handful of beta besters (or people that would like to) to test the Google Play Store theme I now added to my theme. Given that not all TABS (magazines/Books/Movies) exist in Europe I cannot test all of these - please let me know and I will send you the new theme
