[MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION] just replaced the dark ui over old one & I have this wired problem it doesn't remember last position where I flashed the files last time everytime it's start from my sdcard download folder. Am I missing or something? I haven't had this problem before.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
That's because of *see changelog position #1*.

On some devices, the "remeber function" doesn't work properly, so I implemented a bookmark function.

The default start folder for a list is indicated by the star icon in the actionbar. After changing to another folder, the star looses it's fill, indicating you're not in your default folder.

Tapping on the empty star gives you the option to use the current folder per default.

You can set bookmarks idependently for "install" and "add file" list.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnCorleone:
I have a quick question. I have the black and white themed curtains but where do you add them to? I flashed a firmware that included TWRP 2.6.3.3 and I have the new look but in holo. Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Not sure if I understand you correctly, but if you are trying to add a curtain to a recovery yourself, 2nd post contains all information on how to do this.

And what do you mean by new look BUT in holo?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] JohnCorleone:
It has the TWIRP splash screen in gray and holo. I am way behind on the new changes! I actually saved alll 5 partitions on my last nandroid so restoring that fixed me up but I need to check out the new updated version! Thanks!

I try to do the repack for AT&T S4 TWRP using black kk 1080 and when i hit repack all i get is a file called ramdisk-new

What could i be doing wrong
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Nothing, as the tool is straight forward.

I could not even unpack the image properly, the ramdisk folder created during unpacking remains empty.

Looks like osm0sis can add another entry to his "confirmed not working (samsumg) devices list" over here.

I suggest you make him aware in his thread and link him to the image you want to use, so he can have a look at why the tool fails to un/-repack.

OP links to the themes, which are up to 2.something MB just for the ui.

3rd post links to the repacked 2701 recoveries as flashable zips. The repacks only contain a custom splash screen, you still need the theme zip from OP.

All themes updated / minimal version released

All themes updated

Added actionbar button for changing font size of file lists

Fixed "refresh sizes" function on backup page

Fixed layout for "partition sd card" page

Fixed typo for "chmod 755" button and added "chmod 644" button

Fixed keyboard layout on 1200_multirom

A lot more fixes and improvements to the xml that I forgot to write down...

Black / Dark minimal released

The minimal themes only have one highlight color (dark holo blue).

The main advantage of the minimal themes is their reduced boot time compared to the multicolor versions.

They're meant to be used as base for porting or creating other single color versions.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Aroma FM updated

Small update to the flashable Aroma FM package:

The new Aroma FM version has an additional option in settings to select the colorspace.

This fixes issues with colors being displayed wrong (e. g. yellow instead of holo blue).

Just download the zip and flash it in recovery. Then tick the option to use Aroma FM in the themes settings and you're good to go.

Updated Aroma FM flashable zip

What is MultiROM recovery? Is it for the DualBoot?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Yes, but MultiROM is only available for Nexus devices and the M7 (afaik). As the theme requires the a modified version of twrp, it won't work properly on the S4.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] chuson1220:
Thanks for your quick reply!

I tried to create new folder "theme" under TWRP but i kept getting "Operation failed"; tried both on ES File Explorer and PC, any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
You say you can't manually create the folder on the internal storage?

When do you see "operation failed"?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] chuson1220:
Yes. I tried to create a "theme" folder and also tried to move a "theme" folder from external SD card to TWRP folder and both method don't work.

Create/Move a folder works in any other folder under SDCard tho. :confused:

See the error message whenever I create a folder under TWRP folder.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Also don't know why it doesn't work. Which theme would you like to try first? I could prepare a flashable zip, that should work in any case...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] chuson1220:
Did a quick (or rather long) google search and pin down the problem on unable to create folder; it seems like a common problem with the ES File Explorer. Switched to Root Explorer and problem fixed!!! Your "play" theme looks modern and beautiful! Thanks. :good:

Glad you got it sorted. [emoji2]

If I want to make a black minimal theme KK style (change the dark holo blue highlight color)

What would I need to replace in the ui.xml?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
In the variables section of the xml, replace all blue color definitions with the value for white (which would be #FFFFFF, but i'm using a very light grey (#EEEEEE) instead).

Example:

<variable name="*color_name_here*" value="#0099CCFF" />

needs to be replaced with

<variable name="*color_name_here*" value="#EEEEEEFF" />

Leave alone the last two characters (FF or 33), they define transparency.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
Thanks that worked perfect :good:

And as a bonus repacking the zip using 7-zip reduced the files size about 20% (from 1.01MB to 779KB) so hopefully it will load even faster now.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
I don't use compression, so it's quite easy to reduce the zip file size ;)

But the loading time solely depends on the length of the xml file. Number or size of images or the size of the zip don't matter.

Care to share your work?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
That had been to easy ;)

Sure, it's attached
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
Is it possible to embed the image in theme rather than in recovery file?

Let me explain here, hanspampel made a pack for different recoveries, and rather than integrating all TWRP recoveries, which have their own splash screen, I wonder if it is possible to put in their themes, for to gain space.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Al Asmi:
I would like to thank you for offering help but I went and decided to play a little with the Android image kitchen as described in the first post.

I followed the instructions and it was a success. I have created an image with the black curtain 1080 for the klte-G900F and it worked like a charm.

Thank you z31s1g for the guide and the most beautiful recovery themes ever.

Thank you AL_IRAQI for offering help and for the repacks you provided all the way for the i9500. I've been using them since released.

Finally I would like to offer to provide working repacked images for the klte-G900F, please let me know if I have the permission to do so.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Of course, just prepare a post other users can download from and I'll link to your post from 3rd post.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
If that was possible, it would be the preferred way of doing it. Twrp devs changed that some time ago to prevent users from removing their "branding" to easily.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] franzyroy:
OK

Thanks!

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Which theme are you trying to use?

Judging by the file size, there's something wrong with that ui.zip.

The largest themes (black/dark/light) are only around 2.5 mb in size. Your ui zip is 7.something, it's way to large to be the correct file...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
I have my modified black minimal KK theme installed but the line below the header text is still holo blue.

I have been going through the xml but haven't been able to find the offending colour code. Can you give me a clue what to change for this to match the rest of the kk theme.

Sorry but I'm so bored with holo blue :D
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
The line is an image. Same as folder and file icons, tab highlights etc.

Best is to have a look at all images, and to replace all blue ones with the ones from the KK theme.

The stripe you're referring to didn't exist as a separate image back then, so you'll have to replace it with the image from the normal black theme (actionbar_stripe_white is the one you want...).
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
Thanks,

I wil have a look later this weekend.

I will upload my version again when its done.

Have a nice weekend.

Minimal kk theme

I replaced all blue .png files with white ones giving this minimal theme a full KK look.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AllSeeyinEye:
Will the repacked (i9505) versions still be updated? The current versions are two months old.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
There is no newer TWRP version for the I9505, so no need to repack.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
EDIT

What kantjer says...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AllSeeyinEye:
What about the updates dating April 24th and May 4th, then? Two posts stating themes have been adjusted / updated, but this wasn't done to the repacked versions.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
Themes aren't included in the repack.

The repack is the stock TWRP with themed start screen (curtains).

For the full themed experience you need both the repack and the theme.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AllSeeyinEye:
Ahhh now I understand. I thought the repack was the themed TWRP version + the themed splash screen!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
All themes updated

All themes updated

added theme chooser to holofied settings

moved holofied settings into seperate menu (play, xda)

fixed position of progress bar on wipe pages (play)

How to use the theme chooser:

copy all themes to your device (use internal storage if you have a device with micro sd)

in holofied settings, go to "swap theme" page, browse to the theme.zip and select it

confirm your selection (recovery will now copy the zip to the correct folder, rename it to ui.zip, then reload the theme)

NOTE 1: Reloading the theme will set all theme settings to default. Recovery settings will persist.

NOTE 2: Reloading the theme will sometimes trigger a recovery reboot (appeared randomly on Galaxy S3).
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AllSeeyinEye:
What happened to the Kitkat versions?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
White is the default highlight color for the black and dark theme.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
So I only need to replace the png files if I want the full KK theme?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Well, Black theme looks in default settings like the old KitKat theme.

But the naming of the PNGs is different between Black / Black minimal. So you'd have to rename them first, from *pngname*_white.png to *pngname*.png for the minimal theme.

I'm aware it's quite a hassle to do this after each upgrade. But next I'll be reworking the color changing mechanism in order to get the xml back to a more reasonable size. If everything works out, there won't be any minimal themes in the future, as the size of the minimal xml will become the default again.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kantjer:
Thanks, No hassle, I did the renaming part last time I changed the png files and luckily kept the renamed files in a separate folder.

So now it's just a replace.

BTW an other thing I found out. In my first minimal KK build I used zip compression and had quite a few instances I needed multiple attempts to boot in to recovery. After changing the png's I made the zip without any compressions and the not booting in to recovery seems to be solved.

EDIT: minimal_kk_theme with all blue .png files replaced for white added.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:

All themes updated for compatibility with TWRP 2.7.1.0

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Netuser:
Nice themes, I wish there were themes like this for Philz recovery, or maybe they do i missed them ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
TWRP is designed to allow for this type of skins. From what I've seen, philz gives you the option to change the colors and font sizes and the like, but it does not allow you to completely alter the look by applying a skin.

No worries, the requests for the repacked recoveries are popping up in all threads. Haven't had the time yet. Also, for some devices there is already a bugfix update available, and I don't like to do the work twice.

As said, everything needed is in third post, it's easy enough and takes only 3 minutes to do. Making 100 repacks takes some motivation though...

Feedback needed

Okay, so here are two new versions to test. If you do, please give feedback.

The only change is the way the color changing is handled. So please change the colors back and forth and report any oddities (or if it's working).

To change the color, the ui.zip will be unpacked, the image set with the selected highlight color will be copied to the folder that is used by the recovery, and a search and replace operation will alter color definitions in the xml file. Then everythig is zipped again and copied to the theme folder.

This means:

The color change will no longer happen "on the fly". The recovery needs to reboot for the change to take effect.

The xml file is no longer 25k lines long, but 10k lines (like current minimal themes). Once you have set up the theme, the time to boot to recovery should decrease significantly (compared with the current multicolor versions).

If this works on all devices, there will be no more need for the minimal themes (good for me).

The shortened xml gives room for new features without pushing boot time above 10 seconds (good for all).
