Was running the blue theme and wanted to try the red. Flashed it and it broke my System UI. Running the GoldenEye ROM.

This is made for the AT&T BASE. Not the International base. Why are you using it on something not compatible then complain it doesn't work? Just saying....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Since GoldenEye is not an AT&T base rom,

I have created a different download for those who want to use this with non At&T based roms

Please see the main page and let me know that it is working for you.

Thanks for your hard work and support man. New link worked perfect. I'll be sending you something soon.

EDIT: 4A795862HA040644S Thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] shoman94:
Gotcha, that is likely due to the XML changes that had to be done for blue that wasn't done in red. Usually PNG changes are compatible but once you start changing more then that thing her hairy.

Looks like he hooked you up though.. :thumbup:

Have a good one.

Reflash whatever ROM you are running.... With no wipe off course....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
If you are running SHOstock there is a Revert theme on the first page,

Otherwise, as SHOman pointed out, you will just need to reflash the rom you are using without clearing things as stated on the first page.

My wallpapers are at the bottom of the first post,

since wallpapers are really a personal choice, they are not hard coded into the vrtheme

If the keyboard is themed it will be the samsung keyboard, you are wanting a red tinge to it?

check the thread a little later today for the black theme, there will be a picture of a themed keyboard in it, and let me know what you are thinking.

Battery icon

Love the red, but I noticed after I installed it that the battery icon doesn't change with the value of the battery. I'm running rooted stock and downloaded the NoXML files. Prior to installing the Red, I had already selected for the Stock theme to show the battery percentage next to the battery icon. I have 2 questions, with that in mind: 1- is it possible having the battery percentage showing when I installed the red caused the battery icon to not work? 2- Or, is something wrong with the icon itself? Has anyone else noticed this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] PuffinNugz:
any way to make it so the status bar is black rather than gray in apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Without a rom with the percentage battery mod, or the 1% battery mod applied to what you are using, the Battery does not show 100 images, it only changes every so often, so you will not see the number count down, it will only show you the same number for a while until it hits the next plateau.

All the images are there, but your rom doesn' support it.

I recommned installing the SHOstock Rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
There is a Thread with the information on how to do that in this or the european Galaxy S 4 thread.

It requires an XML update and therefore might need to be customized to the individual rom you chose to install.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263664&highlight=status+bar
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Taguiera:
Is there a way, then, to remove the icon and use only the 1% battery notification that comes with Stock itself? It's a specific setting that has to be checked to apply and applies a 1% text battery mod beside the standard battery icon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Actually that would have been a nice option, but it is not included.

What you can do...

Unzip the theme you installed

locate the directory:

vrtheme\system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxhdpi

option 1)

Delete all the battery stat_sys_battery pngs

zip the theme back up using the store method (0% compression)

reinstall your rom then flash the theme, the original batteries will be there now

option 2)

modify all the usa stat_sys_battery pngs to remove the number

zip the theme back up using the store method (0% compression)

reflash the theme

option 3)

delete all the stat_sys_battery pngs from the theme

unzip your original rom go to the comperable directory, unzip the systmui.apk in the unzipped rom, go to the comperable directory, copy all the usa battery icons over to the vrtheme,

zip the theme back up using the store method (0% compression)

reflash the theme

option 4) May eliminate the icon altogether (haven't tried)

modify all the usa stat_sys_battery pngs to be 1 pixel wide, make it transparrent

zip the theme back up using the store method (0% compression)

reflash the theme

I noticed when I type in a contact name in stock msg app that it's black on black when I drop down to key board.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Yes, when the field does not have focus because you are typing in a different field it is black text with a grayed out background.

I could make the graying a little lighter, but I don't really see an issue with this.

It works the same way from the text box if you highlight the contact box.

Google Edition

Having read through this subforum, I found myself curious if this would work on the deodex'ed version of Google Edition S4, so I tried it. It looked like everything installed just fine using OUDHS CWM recovery, but nothing changed in the ROM. My first question is: does this specifically require installation by TWRP? My second question is: if the answer to the first question is no, is there something else to try to get this to work on the GE S4 ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
These themes update the TouchWiz/ Samsung\Sec files, I suspect the Google Edition does not use these.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Taguiera:
The GE base uses TW files. Even the kernel has to be TW.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Unzip the DeoDexed version and check to see if these apk/s are in there,

these are the apk/s that are modified with the theme.

framework-res

FlashBarService

SamsungCamera2 (icon)

SBrowser (icon)

SecContacts (ATT dialer background changed to black)

SecLauncher3 (icon)

SecMms

SecPhone

SecSettings

SystemUI

But the TouchWiz based roms heavily replace the png's with png's with the tw_ prefix on them, I doubt a gooble based rom would use those...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
The oldest version I have is from June 16, and

These are the icons that have been in my Johns Blue Theme,

perhaps you installed the TBlue theme before, the icons you show in a couple posts above are closer to the TBlue in the Tangerine thread.

Otherwise you had a much older pre-final version of Johns Blue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnMcW:
Depends on how the person implemented the transparent status bar mod, if all they did is send an update for to the one xml file that is affected then you won't have any problem. If they replaced the whole apk, then you are at their mercy.

Flash the Transparent status bar mod, then flash the theme, it should be ok.

Most all the themes around are not for the unmodified stock rom, If you find some that say they are for Odex roms, they might work, but it is a tricky match up

If your phone is still working then the blue theme might function. I was thinking that your phone was getting errors.

Or one of the the NOXML themes, although the keyboard might give you issues.

If you want to keep Nova go to Playstore and download one clock free you'll find the same basic clock style thats very customizable too plus there's many other clocks to choose from.

Super cool great work but the dialers are hideous and Photoshop skills a bit outdated. You can Google design blogs for modern UI design trends. They're way easier to pull off than using all those heavy effects and look a thousand times better. Also files end up being less bulky. Less is more. Amazing work getting all that done though, the community and I thank you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Pixelcreativ:
Tough love isn't for everyone but it's how I learned and down the road I appreciated it greatly. Without my friend piping in with his honest professional feedback I'd be thousands of dollars poorer and have outdated skills with which I couldn't get a job in the design industry. And he was way harsher than I just was. He would make vomiting noises and call me names. I'm just trying to help. I doubt John needs little kiss asses chiming in to defend him. He's a grown man and if he had a problem he'd say something. Instead he thanked my post on his other thread. He clearly isn't a sensitive sally like you. Bet you 100 bucks within the next year John comes out with some ridiculously sick work. It only took me 6 months to master ui design after I was pointed in the right direction. We'll see.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Also without honest feedback in this line of work there is no progress. My old boss when i was interning would rip my mock ups in half and say do it again and proceed to list what was wrong with them. For he who doesn't appreciate the truth is a fool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mbc663:
I guess you owe your whole career to your friend then. Give him the hundred instead of betting a random stranger on the internet. Small difference with this scenario though...you and John aren't friends and this isn't his profession. Why are you using his outdated theme if your the one with all the skills? Make your own then and share all of your awesomeness with the community instead of being a critic.

Thanks again John.
