[Android Themes] Quinny899:
[THEME][4.0+][17/3/13] Holo Fixer - Fix "leftover" Gingerbread styled apps on ICS+

PLEASE GRANT THE APP ROOT, IT NEEDS IT TO DO SOME FUNCTIONS

Annoyed by those apps that use a Gingerbread UI?

You need...

What does it do then?

In Android 4.0 and above the old "orange" Gingerbread UI was depreciated, being replaced with the new Holo style. However, some apps never updated and still use the old style, which doesn't fit and therefore doesn't look right. This theme forces all the old themed apps to use the new UI by redirecting their old theme link to the new theme, on the highest level.​

Still lost on what I mean? Screenshots might help

​

Here is "Notepad", one of the Play Store's oldest apps, from 2008, before and after applying the theme:

Neat isn't it? You'll also notice the action bar is now there and includes the newer menu UI for devices without a hardware menu button

Bugs / Downsides

There's a couple of bugs:

- Tapatalk and apps based off it force close, including the xda and RootzWiki apps (Sorry!) - Solution, use Tapatalk HD

- On some really old apps, the menu dropdown in the action bar will go off the screen. This is a device with on screen keys only issue I believe, I haven't got one without to test

Having trouble with the QR Codes? Tap the focus right in the middle of them in the app and they should open. I recommend using Barcode Scanner by Zebra Xing for reading them​
