No, I have not, but I appreciate you pointing it out, and I'll have a look.

I hit the international themes and apps forum daily looking for stuff, but they somehow theme maybe 50 percent of our devices. This is due to those phones having a native dark background for things like the dialpad. So...when applying them, only some stuff sticks. When certain items don't stick, you inevitably end up with black on black text, whiter (yes, whiter) number pad, and more. For things like the calculator, it's fine. For framework-res.apk, it's a bit nastier to roll back. Your options at that point are to restore a backup, or selectively restore apps. To singly restore framework-res.apk, one way to do this is from the TWRP builtin file explorer, then fix permissions on boot. Or create a flashable zip that does this for oneself.

The reason I was happy about the ice blue theme was that fewer of the negatives outcomes as described occurred, and it's for a US phone, so the colors came out a bit better. But T-Mobile theme still crushed the MMS app, so it was black text box...such a bummer.

I'll give it a go.

If on NAB rooted with recovery, you can flash any rom in the OP, though some have been encountering download problems with Goo.

The difference between NAB and NABD, as far as anyone can tell, is the letter D at the end of all of the apks in system that are native to this device.

Where is the fix for if flashing back from CM you have issues with you internal storage. I can't mess with files using other file explorers...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
The fix is in the form of a platform xml file edit, which you can do manually or get an app from the play store that does the exact same thing.

Put this file in system, etc, permissions, rename the platform.xml file to bak, fix permissions, reboot...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fw7rm75xl22mzvo/platform.xml.zip

Or, get the fantastic app from the play store that many swear works but the aforementioned platform manual fix does not, even though the app does the exact same thing...I tried linking to it but I can't find it on the play store.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
You can be on NABD or NAB and flash any of the 4 variants on this thread.

As to the difference, there's the letter D appended to the end of the build number of every apk native to the stock rom. From a feature standpoint, no one can discern the difference between the two of them.

You can clean flash this rom (default wipe option in TWRP, system, data, cache). No need to wipe your internal memory.

Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
The one thing I've noticed with the Kryon themes is dark on dark text in the native white mms app.

The temporary solution would be to grab an inverted mms prior to running a theme.

Also please note that the theme will leave behind a flashable undo zip, in a folder properly named (vrtheme undo).

If you flash a theme once and don't like it, you can always flash that from recovery and return back to stock (way easier than pushing each app separately and fixing permissions, or restoring a backup). Understand that if you flash a different theme, what's in that undo folder gets overwritten, so after first flashing, grab a copy of that folder and move it to a different location on your device.

Remember folks, this is a beta. It'll get improved with time. For a first cut, it's damn good.

Google Surprise...Gmail Crash and Fix...

Hitting a few threads today.

If you start getting Gmail force closes and you're using a themed app, it's not the themer...Google updated their settings apk on the 17th, and I discovered the hard way that reflashing makes it worse, as you'll lose Google settings entirely, meaning no Play Store, no Hangouts, nothing.

The solution I found on my own, and that others have also found independently, is to manually install the latest Google services. After furiously looking for a download that wasn't parked on that irritating Mega Upload place, where you have to have an app to use it, I installed it and I'm back in business.

Just an FYI.

The app in system priv-app was called that, but you may have to uninstall updates first before seeing it again. It may be there under a different name. Look for the puzzle piece logo.

Only solution is factory reset + absolutely no restoring any apps at all from Rom Toolbox or Titanium Backup, except xml call logs and mms.

If that doesn't work, start over with NAB tar. Backup your internal memory onto your PC, and wipe your internal. But you shouldn't have to do the latter.

Just the factory reset and no reinstalling apks with those aforementioned apps.
