[Android Themes] :
LOL. I noticed when I looked at your app code some of the names and xmls etc looked very familiar and I couldnt stop thinking "i know this from somewhere". but hey, especially with our themes being free there is nothing wrong with that given we themers dont have to reinvent the wheel. If I see themers making money of "our bases" thats a different subject, but I trust the laws of supply and demand mixed with skills takes care of these bad apples over time :) I deliberately do not charge for my themes anyhow...

PS Handouts is a "*****" due to the packet.manifest double-name (Orignal package name to replace "talk") just like the new play store Google keyboard is. TC just cannot handle that ... you would be the first to theme it properly... I dont even use hangouts/talk ever so thats one app i couldnt care less about :)

EDIT:

Dont bother. Thanks to google launching latinime also on the market this causes LOTS of issues also with the dual package names. I tried to solve the issues with these badly coded apps for the last 5-7 days, and finally after me trying to find a compromise for my users and them asking for it to change, i took an executive decision.

just look at the latinime from google play store, decompile and you will see. the minute users install the google keyboard from market, they will cry/yell/complain as your "AOSP" style for com.android.latinime will also "theme" (somewhat) the google market keyboard (keys work fine, background doesnt), so the only way to keep both groups happy (aosp keyboard users and the ones that download from market hoping "its newer hence must be better) is to flash a modified APK instead of using theme chooser
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
Ok, as I am testing now, you can create an attrs.xml in values folder and specify keyboard styles. Of course that would do only for AOSP keyboard. Anyway, as I see now, keyboard shows up with that method, but certain characters are missing. So either I am in a good truck or this is the best it can get. I will deal with this a bit more and see.
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
preparing 3.2 with some fixes. Maybe late tonight or tomorrow
[Android Themes] TheMysteriousOne:
I don't see tapatalk 2 in the list of themed apps but it's still partially themed.

1. Header icons background is black.

2. Blue on blue icons when viewing images.
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
working on that actually :D
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
haha... I improved xda premium and messed up the free version on 3.1 :D Will fix that too.

I also noticed I got a 1/5 vote on play store. Whatever.
[Android Themes] CreepyE:
Just sent a review. Hope it helps. And thx for this theme, I love it
[Android Themes] billsky83:
1/5 star? Maybe that guy lost his mind.

Can you theme Swype in next version?
[Android Themes] tdonnelly0987:
Not working on Tmobile GS3 running PA 3.57.

[Android Themes] itasoulas:
Some pics of the new tapatalk 2. All issues fixed (I hope). About the tab selector...you like it or you want a color overlay? Going to bed...:)
[Android Themes] goast:
Looks good as is going to make me switch from 4 to 2 lol

Will you be theming the icon for tapatalk 2 has well?
[Android Themes] TheMysteriousOne:
Black overlay, please! :)

Thanks for such quick work!

EDIT: no more additions for some time, just fixes. someone asked for swype keyboard. I am not using this and not in my plans of theming it. I also need to take time to update PB ROM.
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
checking stats on google's developer console, I see plenty of SIII installations and good reviews. So theme works fine on that device. Maybe you can provide me with details about your current setup. Theme also works fine with PA and the majority of installs come from T-Mobile USA. You shouldn't have that kind of trouble
[Android Themes] :
I remember when i got the first one star review on play I was like whaaaaaaaaat?

Now, 12 months later, I wont lose any sleep over it. happens and users are sheep sometimes. Dont sweat it.

Over time, you get used to these guys. Also love it when users downgrade to one star because a newer version of a google app was launched and i dont support it 10 mins later... and then give me an "incentive" of upping back to 5 once I fixed it :)
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
I will definately upload 3.2 late tonight, when kids go to sleep. So far what is done...nice update guys!

[Android Themes] kjaved373:
Great theme, loving it! Is "text coloring improvements on Gmail" the text when writing an email? When I tried writing one, it was black on black.

Only improvement I can think of is having semi-transparent outlines around items in some apps. For example, when searching apps in play store, it gets a little confusing distinguishing which app the free/price label is on (it might be me only though).
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
I don't have black-on-black text on gmail when composing a new mail. The back color is white and text is black. About dividers that were deleted not only on playstore, but all over android, it was done in purpose to achieve a minimalistic look. So about that I am sorry friend but that's the way I like it. About the first one, I really don't know as noone has reported that and I don't face that also. Maybe you can provide me info about your phone... rom, android version...
[Android Themes] kjaved373:
No problem, that's how I was thinking it was, it shouldn't take long to get used to.

I've attached a screenshot of gmail. I thought it was because I flashed an inverted gmail but the regular gmail is the same. Using HTC one, revolt ROM, 4.2.2.
[Android Themes] kjaved373:
Edit: forgot screenshot

You can see the blue underline where the text is supposed to be.
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
you have a black background when it's white actually as I checked mine. Don't know why you get that. Unfortunately I don't have time to look at it now as update is about to be uploaded in a while. Maybe switch to system theme, reboot, apply PB Theme and reboot again? Does you rom has a black framework by default or something similar? I think it's just you buddy :(:confused:

EDIT: Even on previous gmail versions, that issue you describe was never there. The background on composing section was always themed white
[Android Themes] kjaved373:
Turns out when I tried putting the normal gmail back on, it didn't overwrite the inverted one. I uninstalled it and then installed normal and now its good! Thanks! :)

[Android Themes] goast:
After update everything looks great posting a screen shot with my set up could you possibly theme es file explorer icon in a future update? Anyway thanks for your continued great work!!! I don't rate many apps but I will be giving this one 5 stars!!
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
yeah, sure man. Will do it for next update
[Android Themes] goast:
Thanks big guy... You're class act all the way has I just spoke very highly of you in the play store review :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Android Themes] Rookycolt:
Hellow my friend i have problems to see the text In Xda? Here is a example--->

Is it because of the Colour?
[Android Themes] goast:
Go to setting in that app and use dark mode
[Android Themes] Rookycolt:
Thanx Mate ;) Btw this theme Rocks loves pitchblack thank you Itasoulas:D i really appreciate you ;)
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
it's quite here after last night's update. I guess no critical issues are present now hence the silence... that's good. Anyway, I will be focusing on the following things on next update:

1. fix hangouts issue with black-on-black icons

(definately a framework issue here)

2. Improve gmail

3. Theme ES File Explorer

(just the app icon as a user asked. Not willing to theme the app since I don't use it)

4. Maybe work on call screen's blue end call texture

(probably add some gradient here)

5. I'll check if I can get popup windows back to black without having the issues with black-on-black text

(not very important but I will definately check on that)
[Android Themes] goast:
When its quiet like this that let's you know your work is superb, usually busy threads come from fixes needed and requests... I happened to have the latter lol ... Again man great work...top dev in my book
[Android Themes] kjaved373:
Can't really find anything wrong with this. Great job!

Only thing that I get sometimes is that the WiFi and signal bars go blank in different apps. The first one shows like that when viewing recent apps. The second one is fine when using launcher. I'm not sure which apps it goes black in but I'll get back to you once I find them.
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
that is 100% a rom issue. Does your rom use coloring status bar icons, cause that kind of issues normally happen on PA roms or similar. Theming does not affect how signal shows on status bar since the png files are specific
[Android Themes] goast:
That's just the hybrid settings not switching back to current app settings like it should pa plans to overhaul that in the future from what I read, usually hitting back or home send it to correct settings
[Android Themes] dems86:
Any plans to theme Swype? That is the one thing I can think it missing for me, wonderful job with everything though
[Android Themes] aadiflesher:
Yes, please do something to the end call button because I really don't like it! :p don't get me wrong, I like the whole black and blue stuff, but if there is gonna be just blue everywhere I will go crazy!!

Me personally, I really liked the red end call button ;) Red and black also nice and it was a little different than the rest. But maybe if you do some work on it, some texture as you said and chance the shade of blue, it might look cool.
[Android Themes] bartolinio:
yea

I have exactly the same impression

I was persevering, really I like this theme

but the amount of blue overwhelms me, I need a break from this :eek:

Of course I wish persistent work on the development of this project, I will continue to follow this thread
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
OK OK... I will think of something for the call screen :D
[Android Themes] aadiflesher:
Exactly! ;)

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

OK, thanks John! ;)
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
ok, i think this is a very cool solution for the call screen...agree?
[Android Themes] aadiflesher:
Yes, I agree! :D I like it like this. Thanks John!
[Android Themes] leftis69:
Just beautiful John :good:
[Android Themes] TheMysteriousOne:
4 things to make this a perfect theme:

1. Theme Facebook

2. Theme Twitter

3. Ability to use custom softkeys

4. A little less blue.

That might have sounded demanding. If so, I apologize.

And once again, thanks for solving tapatalk issues.
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
1. I don't have a facebook account and probably never create one, so this is off

2. Yes but not for next update

3. Some custom roms have the ability to do. Not in my plans

4. Hmmm... guys, I like this that way but I promise not to make things more blue. By the way, there are themes that have way more blue throughout entire system :D Sometimes myself I get bored of dark themes or too much blue and I switch to a touchwiz theme for a few days. Then switch back.... No matter how a theme can be perfect, you always need a change of scenery.
[Android Themes] aadiflesher:
1. :)) Good!

4. That is exactly what I was thinking, I used dark themes with blue or other colors in the past and got tired and bored of them really fast and went back to stock. That is why I prefer the end call button red for example and not even more blue on other things.

The good thing here is that we can all communicate and get the theme done as we all like it - even though you do all the hard work :)) I did not have the same possibility with other developers in the past.

Sometimes I wish I knew more about Android development and help you or other people and even do some of my own stuff...
[Android Themes] TheMysteriousOne:
1. Ok. No problem. I'll just use the blacked out fb app itself.

2. Awesome.

3. But your theme overrides the soft keys.

4. I understand. Fair enough.
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
3. crap :D I don't know if that's possible then or I am not familiar with this :o
[Android Themes] aadiflesher:
John, can you please tell me what you use to decompile, modify, compile, sign, zipalign the app? I used Android-Kitchen in the past and I think you do the same. But maybe tell me the version or some details like that.

P.S.

One more thing from before...don`t get me wrong, I like the theme with all the blue as is, I have been using it from day one. I don`t want excessive blue but I think you understand :)

Thanks! :)
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
oh boy...where to I start... I will make it very simple for now as I am theming.

1. I used JB apk tools for long time. Lately I use only APK Multi Tools. This for decompile, recompile, sign, optimise .pngs, zipalign. I use this for testing purposes and modding. I do all modding here. Then...

2. ... For playstore release, you need to sign apps with your own key. Needs Java JDK to create key (which is the one you will always use...FOREVER). I use version 6. Then with jarsigner you sign your app with the key you have created. Then signed app needs to be verified to see if any errors

3. Android SDK/Tools for zipalign app and app is ready to publish

4. Smali/Backsmali manager. This for modifyin classes. I use this for rom modding

5. Eclipse also

6. lint for cleaning unused files. actually it gives me errors so i don't trust it

In the passt I used fjapk tools, android kitchen (this for stock roms, used this for my outdated OVERDRIVE ROM)...

I made this really really quick, maybe I writte a guide. Back to theming guys!

EDIT: thanks to aadiflesher for donating. Very much appreciated man!
[Android Themes] aadiflesher:
Really, really good information here and thank you!

I have some of them ready installed on my computer, but for the others I will see.

I also have been just reading about Smali/Backsmali manager here on XDA Portal Posts, great stuff.

A guide will also be really nice, but this when you have the time to make it.

Thanks again! :)

P.S. Let you get back to theming but first check your PM.

EDIT: Just saw your edit. Thanks!
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
hi, would you like a black sliding panel on Gmail or you want me to leave it white :confused:
[Android Themes] goast:

[Android Themes] GnexusPro:
Loving this theme so much. Could you possible theme Drippler? it's a nice news app I use allot. And maybe add a paid version of the theme? I'll post a screen shot of dripper. Thanks
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
It's not in my plans for now. As I said earlier, I will focus on improvements. And here are some of my plans:

1. improve google music

2. make aosp calendar fully black and beautiful without having those vivid divider lines as I see in other themes

3. theme twitter

4. probably dropbox

Great theme. Thank you!
[Android Themes] therealrayzzor:
Just wanted to stop by and say this is a nice theme...looked like I'm one of the few who liked the blue in the call screen lol so bummed to see it gone in the new version (got a backup of the previous version solely because of that) but still this is great work...can't wait to see what comes in the future

...just to remind you that I am busy with PB ROM this week. I will only release a very minor update soon to theme app icons for V4A which I will inlcude in ROM. So officially, I will start working on theme in about a week's time
[Android Themes] leftis69:
John must be very annoying to be sick with 35 degrees. Get well soon buddy, i hope to not pass the flu to the rest of your family.

If it's possible, on your next update, please theme the 3 dots on nova drawer to match the 3 dots on playstore as an example. I believe it's more nice that way.
[Android Themes] A2Trip:
Gave a 5 star rating and comment on play store. Thanks again dev! :thumbup:
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
ok man. I don't know if it's the flu but or the third baby coming in 1,5 month, but these days I feel very stressed. ROM and theme at the same time is killing me. After this rom update I will focus on theme and maybe provide monthly rom updates :)
[Android Themes] Rookycolt:
Take care of your family and your health because that is much more important that the Rom i really love all your work and i also think that you should consentrate with pitchblack theme and thats it i really miss the blue Call screen but you decide what is the best for your theme take care my friend ;)

It would be nice if you theme great podcasts apps like Pocket casts and doggcatcher (doggcatcher if already blue, maybe just a dark tint) . They already have dark themes, just need the blueish touch (pocket casts have a lot of red) . Just suggesting, not demanding.

[Android Themes] bartolinio:
yes, I want to also ;)
[Android Themes] Rookycolt:
Dont remove the Ring it's Cool ;)
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
Most people don't like it... I think I don't like it either. It is one of those bad dev moments. Plus the fact that most like to have their own custom ring. I will remove it tonight but thanks for your kind words.
[Android Themes] Rookycolt:
But what if i want the ring and the blue call Screen ;)
[Android Themes] itasoulas:
Ring is in res/drawable-xhdpi/ic_locksreen_handle_normal

About blue call screen I'm afraid it is not possible, not because i dont have the files, but if i do the favor to you then someone else will ask for another thing.That's why there is so much discussed here...to satisfy the majority of users but sadly not all (and myself also :D )

thanks! sometime though I need to do some clean up which will reduce size dramatically but only the thought of it gives me a headache. But has to be done.

EDIT: Yeap...next update will give you a reduced sized app and optimised code. It's important for you and for me to have a clean theme. That means lots of redirections on xmls, especially with pngs like search, share, preferences/settings.....
[Android Themes] itasoulas:

sorry brother but no time to check the issues you mentioned as I am cleaning theme and didn't want to get distructed as this requires lots of attention. Will check them when clean up is complete
[Android Themes] leftis69:
Thank you John for your reply. You 're very polite but there is no need to ask me to forgive you. :p When i have a suggestion, i don't expect from you to make something immediately or at all if you don't like something.

Don't stress, i believe that this project will never end, always you 'll find something to theme.
