New test version of black play following the change [MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION]. It's good!

I took the opportunity to correct the same problems on the original.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
@z31s1g

Hi,

New versions of your themes are OK for me, I had the opportunity to test a bit in all directions. I did not see anything abnormal. I think you can update, this is just my opinion! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Thanks for the feedback. [emoji106]

I'll have to port the changes to all resolutions before the official update, and I'm still working on an idea for another theme. Unfortunately, in some threads users haven't commented on the new version, so I'll give it a little more time.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
No problem, I thought you had others before updater. Otherwise, you're talking about a new theme, but minimum, black minimal and dark minimal shouldn't be necessary now!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
Removed... latest version is available here. It's based on the last work of z31s1g.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
A bit info on your new theme idea? Like the style by example.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Well, I like the look of apps that use "cards" for the ui. But it requires extensive changes to the layout, so this won't come with the next update.

But I just finished to integrate a script that allows for flashing boot and recovery images directly from the install list, so on most devices one won't need an app or flashable zip to install these images. Once this feature is ported to all resolutions, I'll release the update (most likely on upcoming Sunday).
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
OK.

Your project sounds interesting, it is true that sometimes we find ourselves without zip for these files. Therefore useful.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
what did you mean?

Like that?

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

A displacement effect card? Like the apps now, the panel sliding to right.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
No, think G+ app or play store. With cards I'm reffering to the background.

All themes updated

03.07.2014

All themes updated

Implemented ability to flash .img files directly from the install page (thanks to [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] for the Flashify script and his help polishing this feature)

Reworked color changing mechanism on black/dark/light (thanks to [MENTION=3359381]DSM_[/MENTION] for the idea and the zip binary)

Added 3 more highlight colors to black/dark/light

Restored default file list behaviour, bookmark function is now optional (enable it in Holofied Settings > Misc)

Fixed overlapping text on wipe page (occured on M8 and Skyrocket)

Fixed overlapping actionbar buttons on black/dark/light for some resolutions

About image flashing

The feature is tested on Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (grouper and flo)

It allows to flash .img files from recovery without the need for a flashable zip

Supported types are "boot", "recovery" and "radio / modem"

The install page now has a toggle to switch between zip files and images (see screenshots)

Simply choose the image, then select the image type and flash away

Also read the "about" text box before flashing :good:

The script works only on devices with standard "by-name" partition naming, thus it will not work on all devices the themes are available for

If your device is among the unsupported ones, the script will bail and wont flash the image - instead it will tell you you need to continue to use zips or apps
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
Thanks for the update. I'm not convinced the ability to flash images directly from recovery is such a good idea on the S4. The only way to flash radio/modem and boot images is via Odin. The idea of doing this directly from recovery sounds very scary to me.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Well, as the themes are not device specific and I don't have an S4 to test, I can just suggest to ignore the feature.

So there's no way on sansung devices to install images with a flashable zip? Apart from the recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
No many have tried to make flashable modems for the i9505 and failed, it can be done on the i9500. AFAIK flashing a boot loader trough recovery is a no go on both i9500 and i9505.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Bummer, so no cake for S4 users then.

But even if someone should try, the script will most likely stop with a warning before flashing stuff where it doesn't belong.

Have you tried flashing a repacked recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
Yep recovery flash works
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
All themes updated

New black play theme. Made from this one. just above...

Available here!

Thanks [MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION] for his awesome work!!!

Few screens. Sorry for the quality!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] brizey:
Interesting. It works just fine on I-545 (Verizon). I guess its related to the fact that you guys update bootloaders, while we are sitting back on the as-shipped MDK.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] oran3e1:
Themes never stick, not even once, i followed instructions perfectly
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
You must have done something wrong. Give us a detailed step-by-step of what you have done I'm sure we will find the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] oran3e1:
I downloaded the latest version of the theme posted in 2nd post, downloaded play edition, 2.7.10 version for my 2.7.10 version TWRP, renamed to ui.zip (not ui.zip.zip) place on SD Card, folder TWRP, in "theme" folder, restarted imto recovery, nothing changed, i tried older version of the theme and different themes, and newer version, absolutily nothing, im using wanamlite 2.9 latest updated firmwhere stock ROM no bugs at all, and latest TWRP

:eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
In case you're using the internal storage of your device (not the SD card slot), that sounds about right. No idea why it wouldn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
I tried all the themes, they works fine! Try with this mod, you have nothing to do, this zip made all for you.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] oran3e1:
Ill check it out now im on my computer, cheers again bro [ i dont want to flash a recovery since i already have one, plus they might be outdated
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
Look the update date of latest version, I don't believe it's not updated. It's me who updates it. ;) :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
Now with my mod, you can only install/ remove aromafm or/ and the themes like I said you. And only if they correspond with your recovery. Like that, no risk to error.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] remorema:
Hey guys! Any chance to have a theme with password protection?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
Ask to [MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION] , You want it directly at the starting of recovery? Like the PWD in a PC bios.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] remorema:
Exactly! The twrp team talk about password protect makes no sense. I live in an area where stolen phones pop out every now and then and most thieves don't even know how to boot into recovery. Odin?!?!? Lolol they never heard of such wizardry. Password protect makes all the sense in the world to me because if we have cerberus or something like that installed we don't want it to be as simple as booting into recovery and full erase the phone. OK! They can still get the phone to someone who knows a little bit more and erase it but that would give us precious time to track our phone. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
I understand! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] remorema:
The thing is. Why doesn't twrp team understand this? My guess is that they just don't want to go trough all the work to make it work.

Let's hope it's possible to make it via theme, even if you have to set the password manually in /TWRP/.twrps
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
I don't know, maybe if you lose your pwd! On PC BIOS, you can avoid this problem, just removing battery, but on the phone, it could be binding. You'll say me, you can do a way to remove it via TWRP on internal SD. They will say you, if you also lose you pwd (or PIN) of the starting! It will not be really fortunate but it's possible... maybe, they don't want complaints... I don't really know why?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
In theory it should be possible to implement an optional password promt.

The chosen password could be stored as a persistent variable (in .twrps settings file).

But by removing the ui.zip from the theme folder, this protection mechanism could be easily bypassed.

On the other hand, if the system is secured with a pin or pattern, only adb and fastboot (or ODIN) are left to reset the phone...

I'll look into it.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] remorema:
Yep. I tought about that. It would be useless if theme were on the extSdCard it could be easely bypassed just by removing extSdCard. But since it's on the internal there is no way to bypass it. Only download mode would do the trick ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
Yes, it's true, there is the download mode which can enable to remove it.

But if the thief knows to go into the recovery mode, so I think it must also know the download mode, right?

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Hi,

Are you still on this project?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] remorema:
Even if it does. Wich in my experience they don't. You gain precious time to track your device. Thieves don't carry a laptop with Samsung driver, odin installed and the rom ready to be flashed ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
He can turn off the phone until it is PC and ODIN. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] remorema:
Believe me. thiefs don't do this things themselves. They try with minimal knowledge to unlock the phone but most of the times they end up paying some IT guy to do the job for them.

Even if it would only give me an extra 5m to track my phone it was allready job well done.

In that 5m I can track it's location, erase external SD card personal stuff, take pictures and videos of the thieves or record their conversation. because most of them doesn't know that's even possible so they are unaware of what we could be doing to recover our phone.

and a picture of the thieve could make the difference between the cops retrieving the phone or not.

It's not 100% secure but at least it's one more layer they have to bypass. And I would take that advantage any day.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
OK
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
Hi,

I modified a bit "black play Google" in "black play Google Android L"... the navbar more precisely... What do you think about of this modification?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] remorema:
Any word on pass protect ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
Personnaly, I've not the knowledge, regarding z31s1g, I don't know if he will make it.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
@z31s1g

Recently, I was in the TWRP recovery with a theme, I wanted to take a file from my PC to put it on my phone. So I plugged my phone to the PC and then made ​​"Mount USB storage" but nothing, I had no access to my phone from my PC.

Can you see if you have the same problem, please?

Or tell me what to do if sometimes I don't use the right one?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Mount as USB storage doesn't work on Nexus devices. If I enable it, I see a page that says "USB storage not supported for your device".

Do you also see this page? If not, I'm certain the problem is not theme related (even more so if it appears only sporadically).

Because I found the whole mounting business unnerving, I started to use Total Commander with ADB Plugin on my PC to transfer files.

Works on root level, regardless if booted to system or recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
No, I don't see this page. I'll try with or without theme to better see.

Total Commander is good if you're on your PC! ;) Not always the case. :(

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

I was wrong, it works, I don't know why it didn't work last time.

Sorry!:eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Okay, I thought I had figured it out, but I can't make it work via the theme.

The problem is that when the recovery starts, the theme needs to set a persistent variable.

While I can change the value of said variable, the new value won't survive a reboot as it becomes overwritten as soon as the theme starts.

This "simple" solution I was aiming at already added 1k lines of code to the xml.

While there might be a way to make it work by manipulating the xml file (same way as color changing works), I'm reluctant to put any more effort into this possible feature. Period.

In a nutshell: No password protection in next update. Sorry.

Materialised BETA themes updated

Materialised Play now deserves the name.

Play theme colors changed according to android L play store leaks

Added an option to theme settings to use buttons instead of the transparent list for main menu navigation (all)

Fixed USB storage button on mount page (all)

Added storage selection to mount page (all)

Fixed light keyboard

Only MultiROM version left to do. And some curtains. And a new OP. And...

Again:

Consider this theme a beta version. Things are still likely to change here and there.

Please do not port this beta version to any other devices yet.

If you can test it on an other 1080p device than the N5, please do so - but don't open threads in other devices sections yet.

If you find anything wrong, odd looking or not working, please report it here.

If you find everything working, please also report it here.

If you want to suggest changes, feel free to do so.

Materialised BETA
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] claytonjn:
Material Dark looks great, but changing colors doesn't seem to be working on my Galaxy S5.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
But it does work on the Holofied theme?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] claytonjn:
Yup. I should have mentioned, TWRP version 2.8.0.1. Also, after choosing a color and agreeing to the recovery reboot, under "Select Color" it shows the color I select but the UI isn't actually changed.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Does the highlight color for text change?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] claytonjn:
As far as I can tell nothing changes. I tried a few colors to see if it was an isolated issue, but the one I want is Red. Going through all of the various menus and opening they keyboard, the only thing I see in red is the FORMAT DATA button, which is also red with default theme settings.

I'm assuming by highlight color you mean the color the text turns when touched in places like the File Manager? If so, that color also remains blue. Is there somewhere else specifically I should be looking for highlight color?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
I'm refering to all text bits that have the same color as the app bar.

So it looks like the copying of the image files and the search and replace on the xml are failing, which is weird becaus it works on my Nexus 5.

I'll have alook at the script again to hopefully find the culprit.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] claytonjn:
Another thing I noticed is that if I select a color and let it reboot recovery (so it shows the correct color under "Select Color" but the colors aren't actually changed) and then I go into the reboot menu and select Theme, Light Blue is shown under "Select Color" and the other theme settings are reverted. It seems that with Holofied rebooting theme didn't exhibit this behavior. It doesn't look like there's anything being logged to the recovery.log when changing the theme color, is this correct? If it would help, you could PM me a version with additional logging.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

@z31s1g

I tried Materialized Light and changing colors worked, so it seems to be an issue just with the dark version. Hopefully that will help narrow things down significantly for you.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
I compaired the xml files. Let alone the some variables, they are identical. The scripts used to change the color are the same. So there isn't really anything for me to fix. Have vou tried downloading the dark theme again? Also, you could try and delete the TWRP settings file (.twrps file in twrp directory) when switching from from holo to material.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] claytonjn:
I had already tried downloading again, and I verified the MD5 checksum both times.

I deleted ui.zip and .twrps powered off the device and booted into recovery. I then rebooted into system and copied 1080_material_dark.zip to the theme folder and renamed to ui.zip, and deleted .twrps again. Then I powered off and booted into recovery, tapped the pallet icon, selected CHANGE COLOR, selected red, and pressed OK to reboot recovery. This time the red color was applied. My guess is that deleting the .twrps file fixed the issue. Thanks!

It looks beautiful, by the way. I made an app over the summer that followed all Material Design guidelines, so I can appreciate the work that goes into all the little details.
