You dont like the eyepiercingly bright white icons in KitKat's system status area? You don't like them either in quicksetting and you hate the new pale orange that can be seen there? You want back some good old Android Holo Blue?

Here's the solution:

This Theme Chooser theme brings back some of our beloved Holo Blue to CM11 (should also work for the other major KitKat Custom ROMs as far as they implement Theme Chooser. The specific icons are already included in my theme!).

It's a minimalistic theme. It only themes the system status area and the quicksettings and doesn't disturb the pure AOSP look.

Back to holo blue are:

Signal, WiFi, Bluetooth (when connected), Clock and Battery icon in system status area. Here I use the brightest possible version #39CAFF for better contrast on the transparent status bar and because the icons get reduced in brightness by the system when displayed on a black status bar.

BringBackSomeHoloBlue.apk: Signal, WiFi, Bluetooth and Cast in Quicksettings. Here they turn to standard Holo Blue #33B5E5, when fully connected.

BringBackMoreHoloBlue.apk: Everything that was blue in Quicksettings on 4.3 Jellybean is blue again.

All bright white icons in these areas where reduced in brightness to the standard Jellybean level #CCCCCC.

All icons stay original KitKat. They only got carefully color and alpha channel tuned by me.

The new scheme in quicksettings with outlined dark grey icons when inactive and bright filled icons when active stays untouched.

"Plus" versions also revert the overscroll glow back to JB holo blue color and style.

Contains icon sets for MDPI, HDPI, XHDPI and XXHDPI devices.

Icons for RTL languages (Hebrew, Arabic etc.) are also included.

Knowns issues:

This doesn't install on devices running ART instead of Dalvik. ART doesn't accept modded APKs that are not buillt from source. Any help on this topic will be much appreciated.

Edit: I got a report that it keeps working when you install under Dalvik and then switch back to ART.

Battery and clock color only get changed in newer nighlies of cm11. There is a bug in CM11 regarding the circle battery. The grey (in fact it's translucent white) full ring is actually drawn over the indicator ring segment instead as an underlay. This makes the color of the ring look brighter and less saturated. I already opened an issue on CM11 bugtracker. Hope they fix it soon.

Installation: Download and install the APK. Go to Settings/Themes and activate it - voilà - you get back some Holo Blue. :cool:

Tools used for creating this theme:

- Virtuous Ten Studio (includes APKtool)

- ImageMagick (command line image manipulation)

- win-bash (GNU Bash Shell for Windows)

- Greenfish Icon Editor Pro

- WinMerge

- Notepad++

Update 13th Feb 14: Added the new CM11 Quicksettings Volume Control Icons.

Update 28th Feb 14: Added "Plus" versions that also revert the overscroll glow to holo blue JB style

Changed the the touch highlight color of the dropdowns (notifications and quicksettings) from #AAAAAA to #CCCCCC too.
[Android Themes] hypophysis:
Update 28 Jan:

Added MDPI and HDPI iconsets to avoid blurring on lower resolution devices. All icons carefully handtuned and not resized from higher resolutions.

Hi,

Couldn´t install it on 25th Nightly on my Sony lt22i with using ART runtime :(

When using dalvik it is working and I can add the theme ................ could you add direct ART support??

All in all it´s awesome, that you made this App :D ........... I don´t like the light white KK icons .. terrible :D

Thank you, and hope you will continue your work on this app :)

Regards, Dennis

Edit:

It seems like working after I installed in dalvik and after finished installation I switched back to ART and it looks good :D
[Android Themes] SomeWelshGuy:
This is exactly what I wanted, thank you! I miss the holo blue status bar but could only find themes that overhauled everything to a shade of blue.

Is there any possibility of theming the pulldown bar on the notification drawer to holo blue like in jelly bean?
[Android Themes] Un|mAtr|XzEr0:
I like it like it is, coz in the pull down menu the orange is changed in blue.... Thats better than before and better than in jelly bean :D

ART doesn't accept APKs like this that are not compiled from source, but are made from a precompiled template with apktool.

I tried to sign it with a private key instead of the android test key, but doesn't work either.

Sorry about that. No solution at the moment. :(
[Android Themes] hypophysis:
I made a second version called "Bring back more Holo Blue" that reverts everything in the Quicksettings back to blue that was blue in 4.3 Jellybean.

Download on first post.
[Android Themes] don_kamil:
It doesn't work for me. I can't install it (Nexus 4, ROM Nexus 5 Experience based on CM11, android 4.4.2, dalvik).

Installs without problems in my Nexus 7 2013.

Maybe again a problem with signing the APK. I signed the second one with a private key.

I will sign it with Android test keys an post it later today.

[Android Themes] Link2811:
Hey ! Thank you for this amazing theme ! But I have a few questions

-Why is there an alert message saying my phone resolution isn't compatible with this theme ? (with Nexus 5)

-Are you planning to do a "Bring back full holo blue" ? In jelly bean, the light when we "overscrolled" (I don't know how to say it) was blue, but now, with Kitkat,, it's white... I know there are many other things, but I can't remember what...

-And, the "3G, H+, etc..." icon next to the signal bars was white in JB, and you make it blue :p

That's all, :D
[Android Themes] hypophysis:
I have no idea. This alert message is also popping up when installing other themes.

Maybe, when I have time and leisure. But what is full holo blue? They reduced it on every iteration since ICS.

No, they were not. They were white when you activated GSM/UMTS data connection. When the phone established a connection to the Google servers they also turned blue. Google removed the color change in KatKat on the system status icons and kept it only in the quicksettings (remember: ugly pale orange -> white).
[Android Themes] Link2811:
- Ok, it's the first theme I use.

- It's just a way to say a new theme with more Holo blue element than the "More Holo Blue" theme :p

- Definitely not, I got an "old" Nexus 4 4.3 with me, and yes, the signal bars are blue, but E, 3G, H+.. logo is always white !
[Android Themes] hypophysis:
Interesting. On my Nexus 7 2013 LTE they do turn blue on JB 4.3 stock and CM10.2.

By the way: I'm glad you like my theme and I didn't want to offend you :)
[Android Themes] Link2811:
No problem, man ! :)

We are facing a strange problem :eek: Look here, on a Nexus 4 ht tp://m.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Google-Nexus-4-Review-screenshot-home-screen.jpg (I cannot post link because i'm a "new" member, just remove the space)

The only reason I see is that LTE logo turned blue, but not the 2G/3G logos.
[Android Themes] hypophysis:
There you go.

I added "Plus" versions that also revert the overscroll glow back to JB style.
[Android Themes] Link2811:
Yes ! Thank you, I installed it, it's perfect ! :D

Just, for your information, I had an "error" when I installed it, saying that the theme wasn't compiled correctly, but anyway, it works ;)

[Android Themes] dlsygaco:
Any way to get holo blue lines and buttons? Im on roms that has all white or anyone know something like this but full?
[Android Themes] :
Request/ Suggestion

With the new theme engine do you think you could make the blue lines and stuff in menu's blue to counteract Roms where they completely get rid of HOLO Blue? Also, could you include the old Jellybean stock wallpaper? Thanks! :laugh:

[MENTION=2083071]hypophysis[/MENTION] any plans to update this for the new CM11 Theme Engine?
[Android Themes] Luther Blissett:
I guess this will not bring us back the tiny arrows that flash as data exchange happens?

Update: disregard, the arrows are there, at least in CM 11... I had read something to the effect of, in KK there's no way of knowing if data exchange is going on by looking at the status bar.

So now I have my holo blue back, cool! thanks!

So, if you were following my other thread (which I doubt anyone was since no-one offered help), I managed to fix my incredibly hard soft brick :P

Everything's running great now, except the menu key isn't functioning. This would be fine, except the 3dot menu xposed module is causing other problems when installed and I'm not running a CM ROM so I can't simply make it double press the home button for menu or anything like that.

So I actually need to get the menu button working, not find an alternative. I can't seem to find the number of the button tho. I know you can check with CWM but I don't have it and don't want to risk stuffing up my phone again right now because I will be relying on it pretty heavily for the next week or so. How can I remap the menu button so it can be used as the menu button if I don't know the hard key number? International S4 Active, thanks.

Just an update, I followed all the instructions, couldn't get this working. It's possible that the button just happened to physically break when I flashed the ROM but it doesn't matter, because I found All in one Gestures (link below) which I used to replace the menu button... and then every other button, plus some. It's really good, I recommend it to anyone who has trouble reaching certain button, has a broken button or would just wants to have a go at increasing speed:

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5s:
Hi folks

Can someone explain the differences between the new 3.xx kernels being developed atm?

There are roms with 3.0 and 3.4 kernels and I am curious as to the differences between them.

Cheers
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charleypick:
Early builds of CM11 for Touchpad were able to be built on the 2.x kernels. KitKat however is designed to run on a 3.4 kernel. For Cyanogenomod 11 to be officially released for touchpad, it will require the 3.4 kernel and Bluetooth and Wifi drivers working. Two new features I know of supported by the newer kernel are multiuser support and the new ART java runtime compiler.

C
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5s:
Thanks for the reply. I was meaning the difference between 3.0 (milaq) and 3.4 (flintman/invisiblek) kernels, not with the earlier 2.x

Peace
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavyt:
From experience the 3.0 has a lower drain on my battery than the 3.4. Also the WiFi will disconnect when my touchpad sleeps with the 3.4 kernel and you will not be able to change the CPU fq. All of these things in due time will be corrected, I hope.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavyt:
Flintman's latest 3.4 kernel nightly 0210 seems to have fixed the WiFi problem. I been using it for a day now and have not had any drops in connection while in sleep mode.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5s:
Yep, I noticed these behaviours too, have stuck with milaq's so far because of this.

May be time to give flintman's rom another whirl!

Anal yes I guess. But its more of the principal I guess.

I wear it everyday yes. Which is only since Christmas day. I work in a office nothing labor intensive...I understand it will have scratches and so on. But this being non stainless means this will continue until the whole thing looks like crap. I mean this is the same sht you get in a 10.00 drugstore watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] undrwater:
I wonder if there were different clasps made with different materials. I have a few deep scratches on my clasp, and nothing showing through but more SS (maybe not true SS, but it's not plated). I'm around salt water a lot (scuba diver), and this been chrome plated brass (or some other metal?), I would have seen some oxidation.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] chuko303:
Yea I have 0 sign of anything just scratches happen ed when working but nothing serious
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] edwmsjr:
Forgive me for asking what may seem like a silly question, but did you remove the protective plastic from the clasp when you unboxed it? I only ask because I remember not even being able to tell if there was a protective covering on mine until I really tried to peel it off. I was just thinking that if you missed that, maybe it's just the plastic peeling off. Just a thought.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ronfurro:
That clearly looks like corrosive reaction. Either your presperation or something that you regularly apply to your hands, like soaps, lotions or perfumes can amplify the natural corrosive nature of human sweat. I have seen pictures (Google it) where stainless steel diving watches had the whole back of the case eaten away by some peoples, natural, reactivity to metals, particularly when dissimilar metals are in contact with each other.

This is huge. Salt water and dissimilar metals can set up some crazy reactions. Do you wear a bracelet, cufflinks, home arrest bracelet?

Chemicals too. Good luck.

I know exactly how you feel. My gold Seiko started losing all of it's plating on the band and to replace it was $75.00. I have the rose gold gear and I'm waiting to see how long the plating lasts on it. The gear always has the correct time and date so I feel like I'm already ahead. Getting it for half price at Best Buy didn't hurt either.
[Xperia Z1 General] stealthj:
.....

A few weeks ago, i misplaced my Z1 in a public shopping mall table... i think...

...anyways, I'm on T-Mobile USA.

When I first got the phone in September, T-Mobile offered me insurance on the phone.

I went ahead and did a claim, and they said they couldn't get me the z1, and that the closest thing they have ( in price and what not) would be a Note 3.

They sent that to me, they unlocked it, and i sold it...

Dilemma began.... buy another z1? wait for Z1s? Could not do that because their bootloaders are not unlock-able

So what did I do? I saved some money and went ahead with a white 32gb nexus 5 while a friend of mine went ahead and actually bought the Z1s yesterday , and HERE are my first impressions of the differences between the two....

Nexus 5 over the Z1(c6903 and z1s):

Brighter, better screen with better viewing angles

Stock android software

Smaller size, fits easier in hand

Optical image stabilization (opinion)

Easier to root, hack etc.but then again its a nexus and it SHOULD have that

Lighter than the Z1

Messaging app on Z1 STILL does not implement group MMS, but you could always use hangouts ( not a big deal for some)

Sony Z1 over Nexus 5:

Z1 Has a premium feel to it, it feels like you are holding an expensive phone, at least when compared to the nexus 5

Z1 has a bigger battery, I was able to go through a full day of HEAVY usage with it, cannot do this with the Nexus

Z1 is waterproof, dustproof and you can use the camera underwater

Z1 has a microSD card slot in addition to the 16GB (or 32gb for the Z1s) of internal storage

the Z1s has a STRONGER ANTENNA THAN THE NEXUS 5, therefore allowing for better and faster data coverage and better voice quality (On T-Mobile USA)

the Z1 is faster even though the NExus is clocked at a higher speed, tested this with browser tests, game load times etc...

How do i know this? I placed the Z1S side by side with my Nexus 5, verified that they were connected to the same tower on LTE, and di some tests...

the Nexus 5 gave me 2 bars of signal, while the Z1s had Full bars, speedtest.net San Jose,CA gave Z1 ~23megabits down , Nexus 5 around 12 megabits down. Same server, phones side by side.

That part made me think about the decision I made. I Knew about all the other pros and cons of getting the Nexus, and I knew the Z1 kills it in benchmarks and what not but that does not really matter to me

The cellular reception part bothers me. I've always considered the nexus 5 to be a "different" phone, not worse than the Z1.

I can now say that the Z1 is overall a better phone.

Its faster, snappier, and feeds more power to its antenna I'm guessing?

Now i Will stick with my Nexus until the next sony flagship

Don't lose your Z1. If you do, buy another one.

Well the thing is I'm building a new computer and would like to get into development and theming myself. I know the nexus 5 is a great phone for developers but I would also like the phone to be practical for everyday use. I wish I could just get both...
