How? File Manager shows nothing
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
You say ES can't delete the old ui.zip and TWRP file manager doesn't see it?

I assume you have tried using a PC?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] haelmchen:
doesnt work either
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
That's too bad, because I have no idea what would cause the zip to become undeletable...

Maybe other users can help?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] haelmchen:
I installed now CWM. I thought maybe an "active" version of TWRP is blocking it. But even now i can't replace the file.

edit: I managed it! Just put your ui.zip into another flashable zip, flashed it and it worked.

Thanks for your help and fast reaction on this

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bombadier:
Try with another file manager,the ui.zip is on the sdcard partition so why is root relevant?can you see/manipulate other files on the sdcard?When you say it cannot replace it what is the error? Can assure you the problem is your end because I use ES File Explorer and it works fine

Can you make MultiROM play store theme?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Each of these themes for itself is already more complex than the normal versions. It's more than the color of the buttons, the XML behind them differs too much . To be honest, I already fail at thinking about how to combine them.

So no, unfortunately I can't. :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yoavst:
:(

Multi ROM is great, but your themes also great.

What about add multirom in the advance section?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Theming TWRP doesn't work like that. These things are skins, literally. I could add a button saying "backup" to it - and make it wipe the device. Adding a MR button under advanced doesn't mean it will take you anywhere. Basically every "page" of the recovery has to be hardcoded, there are no dynamic elements whatsoever.

And certain optical illusions like the the sort buttons for file lists (which for me are the highlight of the theme) or the colored headers of the play theme are only made possible by bloating the code. Play theme bloats in one direction, MR into another.

If you have five minutes, install Notepad++ and just look at the ui.xml in the zip. I'm sure you'll understand my jibberish then... ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] dk0108:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mariotme:
Sir is there any chance you could please upload the repacked twrp KitKat images?

One minor request if possible is to add N5/N5/N7 to the corresponding thread titles?

I ask because it's so confusing when browsing all your threads in tapatalk and xda app ?

Thanks bro! Much appreciated
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] LordwinOfficial:
Quick Question, would this work for my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (i8190)) Since it's got the same screen size as the Nexus 4, or wouldn't it work simply because you haven't made it compatible for the S3 Mini yet? If it's the second one, could you please make it compatible for my phone because my cousin's got the play version and it looks so cool and clean!

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Thanks, glad you like them.

If I'm not mistaken, S3 mini has a screen resolution of 800x480, which is why it won't work. Themes are only available for 720x1280 and up. Sorry to say, but I won't port them to lower resolutions.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] lu270bro:
great work. I am on the G2 VS980 for verizon, and TWRP 2.6.3.4. I loaded the Lime up and when I boot to recovery, the theme does not fill all of my screen. Not sure why this is, unless it is because my screen is 1080p and this theme is 720p? anyways, outstanding work and thanks for any insight!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
That's the reason. Use a theme for a 1080p device like the Nexus 5 and all is good.

And happy new year to all...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] lu270bro:
Thanks for the help. Kinda figured that was the case. Happy New Year, and watch out for the amateurs tonight!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] LordwinOfficial:
Oh, that's upsetting for me...

I know! How about you teach me how to port and I'll do it myself?

Then maybe I can help myself and help anybody else sitting behind the computer waiting for this to get ported to S3 Minis
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DumF0rGaming:
I'm trying to port it on HTC HD2, which is 800x480 too. But it's not working yet :(

MR recovery repack with monochrome curtain added to dropbox folder in 3rd post.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] millomonk:
Really nice, but I can't set a radio image with this theme...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Is the button missing (should be 3rd to last option in "manage roms") or does the process fail at some point?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] millomonk:
The button exists and opens file selection. Then it only highlights the selected img file. That's all. No slider to confirm the process...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Thanks, will fix it when I'm back home (4 hours from now).
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Could you please test this version and give feedback?

Sounds like a bad download to me. Please download again using another browser and try again.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] _artem_:
Why are you using 2.6.3.0 when there is a 2.6.3.3?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Dark Fear:
is it possible to use other themes like "play" with multi rom TWRP ?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
No, they're not compatible.

Each of these themes for itself is already more complex than the normal versions. It's more than the color of the buttons, the XML behind them differs too much . To be honest, I already fail at thinking about how to combine them.

So no, unfortunately I can't.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] aldyu:
Very great theme. This should be the default :D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Nikki1993:
This is awesome! Thank you!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bombadier:
Great effort dude :good: only comment is that the text is a bit teary on my Nexus 7(2012),looks good on the phone though.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Text on main buttons and tabs or rendered text? As for the rendered text, yes, it's ugly. That is why I'm still creating more and more pngs to remove all uglyness from the recovery. ;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] aldyu:
2 minor things i notice though, first, am/pm will be cut-off, i suggest to center the clock, version to the right since it is of fix width and the battery on the left. 2nd, no value for 'Brightness:' ? Overall thumbs up.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
Amazing twrp theme. Best I've seen. +99999999
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
How to use AM/PM

Thanks for the input.

While creating the theme I considered exactly what you suggested for the same reasons, but didn't like the result. :silly:

However, the xml in the zip already contains the correct values for using AM/PM:

pull ui.xml out of zip

open in text editor (I use Notepad++ for the job)

first section is resources, nothing to do there

second comes variables, that's the right place

there are two variables determining the position of battery and time, next to them are comments containing the values you need to make AM/PM work

change values, save file and drop it back to the zip, replacing the old one

done

Maybe you can change statusbar to work with AM/PM, or center the clock the way you suggested, for all three themes and provide download links for the user contribution section?

As for the brightness slider, as already mentioned in an earlier post, TWRP 2600 doesn't seem to support changing brightness on N4. The stock theme doesn't have the slider either.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Man, this TWRP theme is perfect! Thank you so much! :) :good:

Black matches TRDS from SlimBean - which is awesome!

And, if I'm on another ROM, Dark does the job.

Now, my TWRP theme matches my ROM! :D

Now, two issues:

*When you select time zone, the stock theme shows the currently chosen time zone, but that seems to be out of frame/missing here.

*Brightness slider is non-existent, and as you said, even stock doesn't have it. So, is it possible to remove that option entirely?

Side-note:

Also, if you're upto it, you could compile TWRP from source and integrate the theme, along with fixes(like the backups-to-PC copy permissions fix) and a themed TWRP curtain (stock is ugly).

I'd do it, but apparently, according to the TWRP compile help thread, I would need to download CyanogenMod sources, and that is a total of 13GB, which my internet can't handle. :(

It would be pretty awesome, if you could. *hint*

Thanks for the epic theme! XD
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
No, not yet, but thanks for the flowers. As mentioned earlier I made the brightness text conditional before yesterdays update - and then forgot to put it in the version with the keyboard fix. :cyclops:

The current time zone information is deliberately dismissed, as the selection list shows it. Also I didn't know where to put it.

Theme will be updated again soon, to what I hope will be as perfect as it can get. Then the XXHDPI versions are next.

So I'm not up to learn how to compile from source anytime soon - but winter is coming...;)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] aldyu:
I actually in fact edited your theme before i read this comment of yours to my liking, i just exchanged version and clock location. Did not center the clock since emulation text is there if enabled. Perfect for me now. For the brightness, i discovered also that it's not working for n4 so i just commented it out. Thanks again for the wonderful theme.

@arvindh u can actually just unpack and repack the recovery image. Dont like also the default curtain, so Im making my own by just replacing the curtain.jpg.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] :
Weird how I never thought of that.... Thanks, I'll try that out! :)

Wait, now I remember, someone stated I would have to build from source to change the curtain.jpg, since 2.6 removed that option from the theming engine, and I never really thought it about it that much... I should have. :( EDIT: Maybe not...

Do you have a nice, holo-ish curtain.jpg? Could you share it? Please? :)

EDIT: Apparently, the twrp .img file isn't an actual archive (and refuses to extract), according to 7-zip(on Windows 7). Hmm?

Haha, well it IS near perfect. :)

You've done a great job! :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Use this marvelous tool to unpack and repack the image. Tried earlier for the One X and the repacked recovery not only had a new curtain but the whole theme replaced. Have not tested for N7 or N4 yet, but compatibility list says it's confirmed working.

Thanks to aldyu for the advice. :good:

I'm just using white CID's head as curtain image, as simple as google's boot logo ;)

For editing the image file, I used what z31s1g recommended, very easy to use on windows.

Best twrp theme I have ever seen! Just

Noticed some .zip files have really long titles and I can't seem to figure out how to read the whole thing.... Like flashing a radio, the Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(xx.86.zip) <-- can't been seen. But a simple rename can fix that I guess lol I'm a little elevated , sorry for the rant !!! Great work!!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] occtec:
Is the latest Holofied Black theme meant to have a different curtain from the stock blue one? If so it didn't work for me :confused:

Am I misunderstanding or doing something wrong?

Cheers.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
No, it does'nt have a custom curtain. The curtain is part of the recovery.img. I'm not shure if it's allowed to offer the repacked image with a customized curtain. But you can unpack and repack the image yourself with the tool I linked a few posts earlier.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] klvnhng:

Loving your theme work from day one!

Question: I'm using the latest multirom modified recovery and your theme, how can i change the default curtain ?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
MultiROM recovery repack added to download folder in 3rd post.

Added the repacked recovery to the folder in 3rd post. Flash it with flashify from play store.

Please note that the MultiROM app will not recognise the repacked recovery and will ask you to update.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Tasssadar:
Got an e-mail asking me to add support for these repacks into the MultiROM Manager app. I'm afraid you'll have to add something to the repacks if you want the app to detect them.

MultiROM stores the recovery's version in the "name" field in the boot image header. The versioning schema is like this: "mromYYYYMMDD-PP", with PP being "patch", if I need to release more than one a day. Some examples of how version displayed in the app converts to the name field value:

2014-03-08 (0) -> mrom20140308-00

2014-03-07 (1) -> mrom20140307-01

If you're repacking the recovery with mkbootimg, use --board argument: "mkbootimg .... --board mrom20140308-00 ....". Don't ask me why is it called board in that program.

[MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION]: by the way, I started making changes to how those persistent variables behave, then I realized that it would require much more than those 4 lines of code that I initially thought it would, and then I kinda...stopped. Sorry for false hopes or whatever :/
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fishears:
.. and I was that emailer ;)

Hope this can be added to the repacks - otherwise I'll have to go back to the old curtains :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Oh yeah, that works. MultiROM app on Nexus 5 successfully cheated. :victory:

Don't you worry, the monster lives. This way the users have more time to enjoy the recovery splash. ;)

No need to go anywhere if this works.

Please lemme know if it does.

On the XDA theme for 2.7 it still reads 2.6.3.3 in the top left.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
The version number is not hardcoded into the theme, but read from the recovery.

If it shows 2633, that's the recovery version you have installed.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
XDA, Black, Dark and Light updated

XDA theme:

Progress bar position now below action bar

Font size of tab labels reduced

[*]Complete rework of Holofied Black, Dark and Light:

NOTE: The size of the XMLs for these themes has quadrupled, thus the themes need longer to load when entering the recovery.

Progress bar position now below action bar

Font size of tab labels reduced

Font color of main buttons changed from white to a light grey - BLACK, DARK

Lighter colors for actionbar and background - LIGHT

Added theme settings:

Added option to choose between nine highlight colors

Added options to independently apply chosen highlight color to statusbar, navbar buttons and actionbar

Added option to switch position of back button in navbar

More info:

One of the problems when making the current themes was to decide which colors to use for the highlighting.

Not everybody likes the classic holo blue or the newer whitish look. I also didn't want to maintain seperate themes to cover all colors of the rainbow.

So from 2.7 on, the Black, Dark and Light theme give you nine highlight colors to choose from - in one skin that is.

Besides white, the colors are a mixture the darker shades of android colors (blue, green, orange, red), the google colors (dark blue, greener green, yellow) and AOKPink:

The theme settings are accessible from the main menu. The selected color will be applied to the basic stuff, like the tabs, file and folder icons, checkboxes and radio buttons.

But for some users, that might not be colorful enough. So you can go ahead, and apply the highlight colors to other parts of the UI as well:

Of course these options also include the actionbar.

In the end, users are able to choose a color - and have as much of it as they like.

Misc settings now include the option for centering the clock, switching the position of the navbar buttons around (apply samsung layout) and to use the Aroma File Manager instead of the TWRP file manager.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] beskalL:
Can these be used with the latest Multirom 22a?

thank you
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
No, only MultiROM theme is for MultiROM.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] BYTeXperience:
[MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION] nice work, thanks a lot for your hard work. Your theme is a piece of art, keep it in this way :)

This new options are superbs, the only thing that is missing is the customization for the size of navigation buttons as it is on SlimKat (24, 30, 36, 40, 42, 44. 48 dp) so we can have a similar aspect of the Recovery with the ROM.

P.S. one small thing, the hour when it's set on 24h is displayed as 2:30 not 02:30, maybe you can correct it or add an option to fill with a leading zero.

One more time, thaks a lot for all your hard work!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Glad you like the themes.

As for the navar buttons: Won't happen. The theme currently contains 54 images for the navbar buttons alone (6 for each color, out of 388 total).

I won't multiply this number by adding any different size, it would also have a substatial impact on the size of the xml (and thus the boot time) and it doesn't really add screen real estate. There are limits to the theming capabilities of the recovery.

Speaking of which, the time is provided by the recovery, nothing I can do to change the displayed value.

But maybe the TWRP devs could...:confused:

Anyways, happy flashing...:)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] fishears:
[MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION] Will you be making an equally glorious version of the MultiROM theme? (Please)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
I'd rather not. Boot time would increase to over 15 seconds. Maybe with less colors to choose from, that might work.

But if it's color for multirom you crave for, I have something else up my sleeve for the weekend...

Sounds promising. I'll stay tuned. :D
