Hey guys, can I get some feedback on a website I'm working on for hologlass? I wanted a place I can put up a faq for more self help

http://hologlass.webflow.com/

The banner images will change (temporary for now, and will be slower), so don't worry about that.

Any other faq items I might be missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Looks amazing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakTomas:
hey man ,, any luck with the dialer on CM11 fully transparent ?? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Hopefully this will let me use this theme again

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/57190/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Guess what everyone? Just pushed an update to make 4.4 usable :)

Got rid of the ugly grey action bar, and reverted the dialer and contacts for now. Also made a custom adb icon, because the kitKat one really bothered me. Let me know your thoughts! (I know it's a little thin, I'm going to change that soon)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Dying to try...care to post here while the store is updating?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Wish granted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Still got overlap issue dude.... Dude email you with this issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Carbon rom with an S4? I don't know what is up with your phone, since I installed teh latest Carbon nightly on my Toro and had no problems with it. I didnt see an S4 carbon rom for the VZW, otherwise I'd test that...

Have you tried other roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
4.4,all AOSP 4.4 roms, im on mahidi rom atm, flashing pro bam tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
did you have that problem with 4.3 roms?

This is a really odd one O.o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Nope not once
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jensiehh:
Tested the beta on 4.4, looks amazing. Might need some work in some places though. I'll definitely consider donating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakTomas:
can someone post a screenshot of the dialer using the latest version of the theme ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
It doesn't theme the dialer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
I reverted the dialer for the time being, so it's stock (only on 4.4). This makes it useable at least, while I work on theming the new dialer.

Older roms are still translucent
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Any news in the overlapping issue... Staring to get annoying, having to change themes just to change some xposed settings....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Have you tried removing xposed? Just want to rule that out, since as far as I know you're the only person I've heard with that problem :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
xposed is the problem yes, it only happens with xposed modules
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Hey dude, replied to your email :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ham1do:
waiting for xtheme version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannyc93:
Hey,

Just wanted to let you know that this is the best theme I have found and Ive been looking for ages trying to find the right one!

One tiny request to make this perfect for me (except the dialler) is in the notification pull down/tiles the bar that you drag down I would love the area around the white bar that you drag be transparent. (Hard to explain but if you look at the attached picture the black rectangle around the white bar is what I mean)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
It *should* be transparent... what phone /Rom?

There's an unofficial one someone made (Google for it), that I don't support, but I was under the impression that it wasn't possible.... So there you go. Ideally I'll have time to unpack it and understand how it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannyc93:
After a reboot it did indeed become transparent...sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kickassdave:
On 4.4 version, when navigating between settings screens, some screens seem to be designed to overlap in which case you get a transparent screen on top of another transparent theme. Resulting in an awkward overlap of white text.

Otherwise loving the theme. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtcdk:
Love it , but seems laggy some times

hammerhead/yuga ! beanstalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kustaa:
How did you get that blurred effect and no tiles? Thanks!

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

Try to set animation scales to 0x on developer settings ;)

Being all translucid makes the animations look slower, also when opening apps like sms or any app themed, if they're on the homscreen, the background blinks for a sec while opening. Disabling animations fix this too. Give it a try :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtcdk:
That did the trick ;) cheers

hammerhead/yuga ! beanstalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Can you email me a screenshot of the overlap? I don't know if there's anything I can do, but I'd like to look into it if I can
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
The blurred effect is probably that new blur wallpaper app, that blurs any image and sets it as the wallpaper. The tile-free qs is probably PA where you can set the background of the tiles via settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkylerWallace:
Themed Apps

I'm not sure if anyone's brought this up yet, but gapps haven't been themed. Gapps like G+, Hangouts, and the Play apps. I've seen theme devs that were able to theme apps like Hangouts but they required you to flash a zip. I'm guessing you can't use a theme on some apps? Anyway, I've found an app called "Blackout Updater" which lets you download zips that are themed like Touchwiz (ew), Blackedout, and Clearedout. The ClearedOut zips I downloaded and installed with the app are transparent and blend great with your theme!!

I was wondering what you plan on working on next also. I hope we get some changes to the Kitkat Dialer and the Notification Panel. Once I get the money, you're getting a new donator! Overall, great theme :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schluger:
I love it and he's working on it

SusieQ
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Yeah...I hate themed apps. Many of my favorite themes have been ruined by spreading the theme into apps where it doesn't work well. I think this theme is nearly perfect as is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
If I can do it well, and it is stable in a wide variety of roms, that's something I can release. I'm not about to make a ton of things transparent if it doesn't look very good :/

I appreciate all your support in the meantime!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grimmyreapzky:
It's kinda weird since it should glass background... do you know what happen about your theme in my device? I am using Liquid Smooth 4.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNOE:
Amazing look!

It makes my nexus so classy :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
He reverted the dialer and contacts, because the theme caused issues on 4.4, and if I remember correctly he didn't have the time to fix it so he just reverted the glass look on the dialer and contacts for the mean time so it's usable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redbull320:
I have often Problems like Teil. I can See the latest settings and the actual settings

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KreNtal:
You should improve your app more frequently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Ive only just had this start happening for me as well.... but I do not know where to begin fixing it - according to the Android attributes list, it technically shouldnt be able to overlay. I'm only seeing this on KitKat though... so I'm not sure what that means.

I haven't died, and I know you're all hoping for an update... I just am having a lot of hard times getting kitkat to play nicely :/

I heard rumors of some developers working on a new theming engine though, so I'm looking forward to seeing what new functionality might be available :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Here's the G+ community for the new theme engine. Top post is how to use/test. Most of the top themers are already in alpha/beta test mode, so you're missing out on some nice new functionality if you're not jumping on board

https://plus.google.com/communities/102878569352950531397
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Thanks! This helps a lot. Hopefully this will let me eventually add manual settings for transparency :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
So I've been doing testing, and can't find any issues on the new theme engine, but would love any additional testing now that it's incorporated in the CM nightlies
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Can we expect a new build? With dialer maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
The NTE should be fully backward compatible, but there are many new enhancements that would make your theme really great. You can theme elements that were not possible before, change fonts, apply lockscreen wallpapers and boot animations...I know Thyrus Holo has been updated and he has been able to get rid of a lot of little bugs that were not possible in the old engine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Please please please say that your going to fix the over lapping issues within xposed apps and some other apps, I did email you before
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
*Should be*, but it's still a possibility. Doesn't hurt to check.

I've been active on the alpha channel and playing with the new style. I haven't seen anything that would allow for some of the stuff I'm hoping for, but switching over seems relatively easy. I'll have new builds for testing in the coming months - my focus is temporarily distracted while I both handle some family stuff and train to climb Mt Rainier at the end of the month. O.o

One cool thing though, is it also allows for the theme to have an actual app built in, so this should give me the option to have wallpapers and a simple in-app check if the user can install it or not.

More to come :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 22sl22:
Any chance of any beta releases? I would be willing to beta test. I have the new theme engine running on Nexus 4, AICP nightlies (based off AOKP)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Once I have real builds, yeah :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
So I bought a nexus 10, to encourage myself to keep theming, and my god, I never realized just how beautiful this theme is on a large screen! Wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vergilbt:
Great theme...love this transparent style.

one question: is it possible to set notification also more transparent than actual style?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Interesting, what Rom and phone do you have? What would you like it to be like? It's supposed to look like this:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vergilbt:
I'm on Mahdi ROM at nexus5...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billsky83:
is only me have this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
No, that's a known issue I have not been able to figure out yet :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Can you email me your systemui.apk from your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vergilbt:
U got pm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
So it seems like PA beta is having problems with hologlass. Mahdi Rom was also having issues for a short while, but Rom updates fixed the problem, so I anticipate that being the case here as well, but we'll see
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Been on mahidi for over 6 months with this theme and I have never came across an issue apart from xposed modules over lapping text.... That you are already aware of
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
I had a couple users email me about really messed up QC icons. It was really weird. Now PA has a similar problem. Who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommolo:
On PA quick settings icons are messed up, is it a known issue? How do I resolve?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Literally just posted about this. Look three posts up :)

As a beta, things often get changed on a regular basis; is hard to hit a moving target. Once things settle down, I can make adjustments as needed.

Speaking of which, have any other themes had issues with PA beta?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeekMcLeod:
Gotta say I love this theme. Been using it with Xthemeengine for quite some time. Now that PA has the theme chooser it's even better.

I know in the PA thread, close to right after release when a few themes were posted some said they had the quick tiles issue. Not that big of a deal for me, I usually only reboot kernel or rom updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommolo:
Actually yes. Lucid Holo, for example, has the same problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shponglized:
Any rom with transparent QS tiles has this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Hey Mix... I love your theme, and rotate back to it often, but I always switch away when I get tired of the blue highlights. Have you thought about updating it to kitkat white?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
I have, there's just a few things i haven't figured out how to do well when working with just black and white. more to come as I slowly work on the new cm format
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Plenty of beta testers right here ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Good news fans! Here's a sneak peak at something I think you'll love. Imagine a transparent nav bar too :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
I get this effect with your theme already with force translucent xposed module ;)

Can you please share your wallpaper?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neerajvd:
Looking gorgeous :good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Wow, way to take the wind out of my sails :P

Wallpaper was posted on G+ somewhere. I'll find the link.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Any chance of taking the Jellybean blue out of those toggles and replacing it with KitKat white?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
It's in the plan :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Any luck finding it dude?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
been at work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Thank you, hope you had a good day at work and I can't wait for the full 4.4 release! Love your work been following it since the first time you posted it!

Really hope you can fix the xposed module issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
So I put the cm 11 work on hold for a short bit, to finally give you guys the dialer you've been waiting for.

I was wading through the new format, when I realized that this is just more time wasted without providing any benefit.

Will have a test app for you tomorrow, to help find all the niggles.

What I'm NOT looking forward to is remastering all the image assets for xxhdpi >.<
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Cm11 has hooks for theming dialer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Right, but nothing more special than doing it with tmobile. my point was this gets the dialer to you guys faster instead of spending the whole time just converting, to give you what you already have.

:P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Here is a fancy dancy (still tmobile) first pass at 4.4.3 dialer. The IN-CALL is messed up, but everything else works.

Let me know if you find anything totally weird that isnt related to the in-call menus :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shponglized:
for me it's all white on white.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Stole your background haha but we'll done!!! Looks insane!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Rom? It's for 4.4.3 dialer only
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Mix3d will contacts be next? Looking forward to that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shponglized:
PA 4.4 Rc2 - so I'm on the 4.4.3 dialer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Downloading PA to see if I can find the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Took a look at this using the latest CM11 nightly. Wonder if the 4.4.3 dialer isn't just unthemeable due to some layering issues. When I go to the dialpad and start typing, a full list of contacts appears...I assume in most themes, the lower part is hidden behind the dialpad, but in a transparent theme, it's just a mess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
probably. I haven't tested it well enough yet with real data yet... it's only on my test device. screenshot?

That being said, is terrible design and waste of overdraw to have it draw behind the dialer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Yup... May have to black out the dialer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
going to try mostly dark before full dark
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Once you go black...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
so the major difference with PA basically makes it super annoying to try and theme both cm AND pa. What needs to happen is someone conjuring a styles change to match CM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
They already discussed that, PA will merge the CM Theme engine commits that affect dialer, mms, etc.

If I can find the link discussing this, I will post it.

EDIT, here you go http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53372172&postcount=50376
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
I figured it was just a matter of time. I've seen a lot of theme incompatibilities from them, and there's a big push to sync up with CM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Mix3d can you make the buttons at the bottom grey on the 4.4.3 dialer please or transparent makes ruins the dialer in my opinion on your them :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
yes, I can change them. blue was never my intention, it's actually an artifact of trying to make it transparent - there's blue hardcoded behind it. If you read my notes, it mentions that the in call screen is messed up ;)

The black is also hardcoded... nothing I can do except submit a patch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Ah remember you saying that now, what colour you planning if you can't get transparent?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billsky83:
hi mix3d, can you make those switches in setting more flat pleases?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Volume control would be nice white too :) but like you've said before your already working on the white version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
didn't get that far :X

probably just black.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
I'm happy with black grey or white :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Going camping this weekend, so there likely won't be an update till next week, fyi. Just wanted to let you guys know I'm still here :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Have a good time :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
I'ma leave this here :D

Only real problem with it is that the background isnt darkened. Cant figure it out.

Enjoy, and let me know if anything in CONTACTS looks funny ;)

(Dialer in call is still messy)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
I must be doing something wrong, but in not noticing any difference between this and the old theme engine theme. Blue toggles, broken dialer (as you noted). Contacts looking good, but starting to wish the transparency was a little more opaque. With the theme chooser allowing font theming, I can barely read dialer numbers using helvetica neue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Transparent contacts in 4.4

Its actually still T-Mobile, but I wanted to get this part finally fixed before going back to the cm conversion work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_smurfo:
Ah, OK. Looks good, but as I noted in my edited comment, with many fonts, it's very hard to read the numbers with total transparency.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Yeah, I'm still working on making it nicer. Its definitely not release ready
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Krokot:
Hello mix3d, love your theme, but unfortunately there's this one bug that ruins it for me. I'm running CM9 on huawei g300 and this is how the default SMS app looks. The messages are visible only when I press on them. The conversation itself is fine, because it has black font. Any idea how to fix this? Maybe just how to change the font color in the app or something? Please help because this theme is literally perfect except for this,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Email me your mms.apk.... I'm not sure if there's much I can do, but if I can find the differences I might be able to make a fix. It was designed for cm10 initially, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Hey Mix3d you still working on the contacts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
I fixed the background, FINALLY! :D

But why do you ask? Is there something you think hasn't been done yet? or wondering if I'm back to focusing on something else?

I released the update to the donate version, and am including it here... (will do the free one by the end of the week)

View attachment hologlass.donate.apk

EDIT:

Pushed another update to donate, and matched the free one too. Fixed the tons of green when you get a call, and turn off the mode that does a popup over your existing app when getting a call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
I got the donate version since you're very first release of it! I guess I just haven't used it for so long so didn't see I'm afraid! Going to start using it again now because it was the thing I was waiting in!

One thing I do wonder though, did you manage to look into xposed modules? The text on text stuff?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Still no dice on the overlay... I've found a few non-xposed things that also overlay.

I really don't get it, because it goes against androids underlying view attributes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Dam well back using the theme now! And until you figure it out which I know you will, I shall switch between theme until then! :) good luck pal!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pretorian187:
stock rom question

There is no way this would work on a stock rom? Cuz when I tap on the screen I have the option to choose "Set theme" - so your glass theme should appear in that list no? Only problem is that for some strange reasons I cant set themes anymore (used to work a couple of days ago). I only get this stupid unfortunately, touchwiz home has stopped. Any ideas? I really want this theme and I dont want to install something as bloated as the nova launcher
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Nope, this is not for themes on touchwiz, it requires a custom Rom with the theme chooser built in, which is very different than a launcher theme. Sorry man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirtyDroidX:
Been using this theme ever since the Alpha :) Absolutely love it, how close are you to incorporating the new theme engine compatibility? Honesty this is the best clear/transparent theme on the market. I would pay 10$ for it no joke!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Electroalek:
Suggestions

First of all i want to say that this is by far my favorite theme. As far as i can see, there are 0 bugs. I like this theme because it shows your one background across all of the apps. I like to have that simple, unified look. Plus I'm a huge fan of the Holo design. This theme is the perfect combo for me. Now, for suggestions. The most important, support Holo Light, not only Holo Dark. That will customize a lot of apps by ut self. Another suggeation is, make the keyboard transparent, while keeping the holo design. And finally support Apollo player, now I'm not sure if you can customize it with this theme, or you need an Apollo theme, but still, a suggestion. Again thank you for this amazing theme.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Glad you like it! I'm still a ways out... for some reason several areas were not a direct port, or they caused weird issues when I tried. I do plan to get in the showcase though!

Apparently I tried to over simplify my theming, so it's a bit unconventional in my approach.

Transparent keyboard used to work, but changes to the default keyboard broke compatibility. Swype keyboard still has two transparent themes I override, however :)

I do plan to take another stab at it.

I've tried to theme holo.light, but ran into numerous compatibility issues. At best we might get a slightly translucent white, instead a full holo conversion.

Additional apps, like Apollo, is mostly a matter of time, which I'm unfortunately still a bit short on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Does anyone have a 7" device they can test contacts on? Some people have reported bad colors / white on white, so I need someone who can reproduce and also test changes for me. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I have a Nexus 7 at home so I can give it a test, but I'm at work right now so it will have to wait.

By the way, I'm the one that commented in the Play Store that the theme looked weird (contacts) in my tablet. Thanks for the fast response.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
You're not the only one. What Rom and gapps are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Mahdi Rom, with full PA Gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mix3d:
Ah, that's probably why. PA gapps tend to make adjustments that aren't always compatible. I'll see if I can't find a work around though
