(if you get stuck at installing, please read the how to install ad the end of the post)

If you like my work, feel free to press the THANKS button ;)

________________________________________________________________________

Dear XDA-members,

Today I release my first theme ever. And the lucky winner is whatsapp. For all those of you that want the good clean holo looks on their phone :).

I hope you like it, please leave your feedback in the description.

(I'm still not too sure about the color scheme either)

All feedback and color suggestions are welcome!

CHANGELOG v1.1.1

- Fixed Force closes in contact list.

CHANGELOG v1.1

- Updated to playstore version 2.9.1547

- SQUARE CONTACT IMAGES (Thanks to Rafalense)

- date divider now has the correct width

- removed italics on date

- alignment of groups

- alignment of contact image

- updated layout of broadcasts

- stopped the popup from resizing when entering text

- more minor fixes...

HOW TO INSTALL

- make sure you are on android 3.0+ (or else the theme will probably fail)

- backup your messages

-> settings

-> chat settings

-> backup conversations

- UNINSTALL YOUR CURRENT WHATSAPP VERSION

- download WhatsAppHolo

- Install

and you're good to go!

ISSUES

If you run into trouble verifying your account, your subscription (yeah that's new stuff with whatsapp) has probably come to an end.

The fix should be:

1. Delete whatsapp Holo and install the original whatsapp.

2. You have to buy the "one year license"

3. Reinstall WhatsApp Holo and enjoy (of course you have to unistall the previous original one...).

...if it doesn't work, god may help you.

(Thanks to Sgnao)

TO DO LIST

- dark theme

- edit the media bubbles (sent images)

- edit the media grid

- get rid of the thick lines in group chats

- make something pretty out fo the buttons.

- some minor issues

THANKS TO

- Maximilian Salomon for the great inspiration!

- Rafalense for the square images!

OLDER VERSIONS

- WhatsApp Holo v1.0

Re: [THEMED APP] WhatsApp Holo v1.0

Beautiful theme. Makes it look so much nicer with a stock feel to it. Very nice!

P.S will whatsapp still be updatable via play? I'm assuming not?
[Android Themes] maurico0o:
Soon, First i need to polish this one. Just give me the colors you think will look great and I'll look into it ;)!

Thank you!

Nope, it's not. But i will keep it updated when major changes get released. Don't worry about that.

This theme looks great. Thats how official whatsapp should look like...

[Android Themes] untweetless:
ideas

Simply great how all of your mods of whatsapp +

If u allow me to give you feedback xD

1. Yes the square pictures is something really important to feel more holo

2. The bubbles will be great if they look more to google now cards (and i miss the option to put the contact picture in them)

3. At the bottom the white background looks ugly, a transparent one and the ability to select white or black font (depending of your own background)

i think is better

4. A black theme... well i think dark grey (like notification area in jelly bean) is better for some not-great-batteries, not for all the app but yes for the main screen and contacts

Well done!

Follow by this way

Edit: Maybe you should share your creation in google+ comunity of android desing, they will give you better advices than me

Edit2: The way how smiles bubble is display isn't useful

If you have the icon for open it at the down, why the bubble is set at top?

Fantastic work, love the new contact images!

So far this is brilliant, it has actually led me to use WhatsApp more! Is there any possible way to get the menu button away from soft keys and onto the top bar like proper holo? Also in my eyes the new massage/contact icon is slightly misaligned. Otherwise top work, please do continue.

And pls have a look at your heading

Its 2013 going :P

THANKS anyways :)
[Android Themes] maurico0o:
Thanks! great to hear it!

I guess v1.1 fixed it. The read/ sent message icon is still severely misaligned though. I'm aware of it. fixing it soon.

Please do post the images with some red borders. I cannot see how my theme looks on other resolutions ;)

Moving the button away from there will be a hard one because this theme has just a fake action bar haha. I will need the sources for implementing the real deal. When I'm completely satisfied with this build i might send the WhatsApp team a kind letter and politely ask for the sources:p.

Hi, first of all tnx for this great theme!! This is what whatsapp should be!

I have a little question. In the first page you say that this mod is based on the version 2.9.1547 of whatsapp, but why the info page of the app says 2.9.1036?
[Android Themes] hotnikkelz:
Love it so far. Think I'm having an issue with the message status icons. Sometimes successfully sent messages still have the orange marker on them. It's a bit iffy for me.
[Android Themes] NeXuS|93:

just waiting for dark version. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Themes] hh10101010:
Seriously this is the most good looking whatsapp mod I have ever seen,

would you mind sharing the trick of making square contact pictures? :D
[Android Themes] maurico0o:
Thank you very much!

Correct! But this really is version 2.9.1547. The dev's have hardcoded the version in "strings.xml" so when merging to 2.9.1547 i have copied the old string.

Which is now, indeed displaying the wrong version.

Could you be a little more specific. Post a screen for example.

I guess it's about verifying either your phone number or your whatsapp version. Try reinstalling the play store version, delete the play store version and then install mine.

If that doesn't work, god may help you.

This is an issue to the group chats. It should work properly in the single contact conversations.

Group chats always remain with the orange icon untill forever. The normal WhatsApp has this issue aswell. I cannot fix this for you.
[Android Themes] maurico0o:
With or without green accents?

As you can see in the image, the problem is related to the verification passage. Sorry for the Italian language but I think that you are able to understand. May it be related to the fact that I still have 10 days of service and after that I have to pay the 79 cents?

suggestion from my side

1- can u add option to change bubbles like in whatsapp+ (just the bubble changer)

2- if u made dark theme, make an option for normal light theme also

because sometimes it looks great ;)

3- fix smilleys button becaus when we click on bottom smileys option appear on top

[Android Themes] derPianist:
AW: [THEMED APP] WhatsApp Holo v1.1.1 [04-02-2013]

A hint for the dev.

There are several apps out there, using Holo UI but not the ICS blue color scheme.

It may be a inspiration for you in how to design the dark version with nice polished whatsapp color scheme.

-Songkick

There you go. I hope it's that one.

1. Maybe someday somewhere. Well, you can send me the desired bubble and I might put it in there for you ;).

2. Yup will do. I'll look for possibilities next week. quite buzy at the moment.

3. I think i'll leave it this way unless i find a easy solution. 99% of the time the keyboard is already opened when you add a smily so it is not bothering too much.

The main reason behind it is to avoid too much finger movement while typing. Stretching to the far right top on a 5" phone just isn't done that easily.

Thanks a lot, If anyone comes by some green themed app feel free to post it. Evernote for example, was a great inspiration for the light theme.

Thanks a lot for the solution, will add it to the OP.

You could try to send the WhatsApp devs a kind letter or e-mail

I am not a whatsapp developer, just making it pretty. All coding stuff is their job.
