Love it! Thanks [MENTION=5230774]asdfasdfvful[/MENTION]

I hope you could make one for Slim :fingers-crossed: :angel:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Do you have any knowledge in decompiling and compiling apps? You can win merge my changes. But as of now until I make the theme the way I want I won't be supporting other roms
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Has it worked? I'll look into the newer gapps later
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] razrlover:
Unfortunately not. Same result flash fine, reboot, optimizing apps,

System starts 2 apps force close, then system reboots into boot loop
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Well unfortunately, I'm on multi boot, so I'm not sure what the difference is. I've looked at the files from other flashable zips and I don't know what else to add
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] pSyCh¤_O_O:
I have but i havent got a working PC anymore...or time. I have two jobs now lol

Wish someone else had the time...

Slim should have notification panel transparency settings back sooner or later but not system ui or settings :(

Thanks anyway...great job buddy ;)

Version 9 is uploading now. I'm sure you'll all like the changes. One issue I've noticed was that pressing language and input causes a crash. Not sure if that was present before or if it is just me. If someone else does get this error, and sees anything odd in a logcat, do let me know.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] xevildoerxx:
minor graphical glitch..will reflash again and see if it goes away.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] pSyCh¤_O_O:
Hey Dev

Ive just noticed i cant flash theme without flashing Thyrus theme first otherwise I end up in a bootloop.

Apps finish rebuilding ART and once it finishes i see keyboard FC and bootloop all of the sudden.

The only way to flash is flashing Thyrus theme first, Rebooting and then flashing pitch black theme.

I can also flash Thyrus Theme back to recover from bootloop.

You might want to have a look.

Its been driving me crazy since last night untill i found solution. Ive nandroid restored like 8 times before i found out lol
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
I have that too. That's just another issue with making things clear. Lots of layers to watch out. Ill try to fix
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
That makes a lot of sense, as I had thyrus's on already before I flashed... I'll see what I'm missing
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] pSyCh¤_O_O:
I cant reproduce crash in language and input... Anywhere in particular? or just language and input?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Citizen_Snips:
I know [MENTION=853495]Mix3d[/MENTION] had similar issues with his awesome hologlass theme. Not sure if it got resolved. Don't use a ROM with theme manager anymore. Kinda stopped following closely.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] acultr:
it's working on SlimLP?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Unlikely. Different roms have different strings and everything. You can try and dirty flash the rom over the theme after if you want, but note that this is in beta and things might mess up
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Simply in settings. If it's just me then that's good. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] razrlover:
So all is good now. Since I never could get this theme to work first time, figured i could come back and check if it was just me.

I believe it was v9 i tried last but could be mistaken. ;) maybe v5 ? Oh well. How you doing over here
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Still fixing stuff but couldn't fix that part yet. I made a new boot animation though
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] razrlover:
I will wait till ready thanks for your work!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] pSyCh¤_O_O:
Hey! Has anybody got it working on latest 5.0.2 Terminus ROM?

Or does it need updating? [MENTION=5230774]asdfasdfvful[/MENTION]

Thanks for your time..i hope you continue with this theme as i love it...i can be your ginnea pig if you need any help testing ;)

Thanks again
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
I don't recommend you ever flash themes for older Rom builds, unless it's like purely bug fixes with no new features or strings. Yes this will continue, but it'll take some time. Thank you for your support
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Dougfresh:
Is it possible in the future to perhaps make a Zip Themer or VR theme mod so it can work on various ROMs and updates instead of the present way? Thanks
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Could you give me more info on that? I'll be happy to do so if I know how and if it works well. Zips don't seem to be my thing at all with lollipop
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Dougfresh:
Heres a start https://sites.google.com/site/zipthemer/creating-themes I remember in the Gingerbread days that they were popular. We used Metamorph app or Zipthemer app to install. Thanks for the interest.Might be outlated...Edit: VR theme info http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2652475
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Had a skim through both. It seems as though this is mainly useful for drawables, but there isn't much documentation on changing XML (not just the XML for the zip, but like XML files of the apps). Lollipop has converted a lot of its stuff into XML, and I'm actually not modifying a single png file. If there is more info on that or even an example, I'd like to see it. Hopefully, I will eventually move on to that, or even cm themes once it is implemented. It'll be a lot less work for me and a lot more support to you. Again, any info from anyone else is welcomed.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Dougfresh:
Any ideas on this VR template. Seems updated recently in post#2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2774436

Looking forward to some future goodness from you. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Looks nice. I'll see later. Just so you guys know I've themed the new terminus. I just can't seem to make proper zips and it won't even boot. I'll upload when it is fixed
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
v1 is up for the dec 20 build.

There are probably more bugs than before, but it's still decently usable. I also made a pretty nice boot animation for you guys :).

In terms of the zip, I had to test it lots of times, so I'm still not sure if it works straight from the rom flash. Please report back and let me know. To quote the OP,

I highly recommend that you have another theme zip that is deemed working on your phone. You should not need a clean flash when flashing themes, but if mine messes up, just flash the theme of someone else's. Thyrus' Dark Material one is a good backup.

My apologies if basketbuild is not working as well. They've introduced a new Peer5 thing which sucks for those who are not on Chrome. Once I get ftp for androidfilehost, I might upload there.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] razrlover:
Great theme, applied on Thyrus theme as advised. Latest Terminus, Material, Pitched.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
[MENTION=3500440]Dougfresh[/MENTION], I tried the zip there, but it didn't work. It's still in beta anyways so I'll just wait and see.

Btw new version is up. It contains some notable changes.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] setiawanjimmy:
Hello.. Umm.. I need help in compiling framework-res. Even when i just decompile it and compiling it back without editing it. I had install framework-res. I can compile systemui, settings and other apps. Its just this framework-res. Is there any tricks? Im using latest apktool 2.0.0 rc3.. Here is the error pic..
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Just so we're sure, use this

https://www.dropbox.com/s/g0e8otn2jywdutu/Material-apktool-tools.zip?dl=0

And make sure you are compiling against a lollipop framework.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] setiawanjimmy:
Helo. It seems that deleting folder values-watch works for me.. Thanks..
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] wonderdroid87:
Yo guys! Its possible for slimlp?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Feel free to decompile and win merge the changes, but as of now I don't have time nor the resources to support many roms. My laptop is old and building one is already slow enough :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] setiawanjimmy:
Helo, might not the place to ask this but ill just ask you. Do you know which line/files is this white background? I cant seem to theme it dark..
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Most of the system apps run purely on styles. If you switch the base to theme material rather than theme material light , almost everything will change. That goes with most parents
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] setiawanjimmy:
Yea I'm trying to re do it again and i think ive got it.. Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Dougfresh:
Merry Christmas asdfasdfvful and to everyone! Asdfasdfvful I see your getting your feet wet over in the Evil VRTheme thread. How's it coming out? Have a safe and happy one people.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Thanks haha. I haven't tried a second time yet, but as of now I still don't see a guaranteed benefit of using it. I will try again though, as I like the concept. Just hope an actual theme chooser can be made soon so I can learn to use that.

Merry Christmas to all! ?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
[MENTION=3500440]Dougfresh[/MENTION], it has been done.

New beta is out, which just switches everything to a VrTheme. I guess it shouldn't even be called a beta, as it's more stable than the previous zips. There should no longer be issues with f/c in the future with this theme.

Also switched to AndroidFileHost to get away from the Peer5 thing

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Dougfresh:
Holy Smokes thats great! I think you're the only one doing VR. Congrats and excellent work brother. Im DLing now

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------

This should be compatible with more than one ROM, am I correct on this Asdfasdfvful? Imma try it on Cataclysm to test it out. BRB ;)

---------- Post added at 02:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

Didn't work on cataclysm but for everyone's knowledge, VRthemes make a restore.zip found in your Data root folder. Just flash the restore zip if you run into issues
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Yeah, unfortunately, strings are still embedded in the file. I'm not sure if that's the only issue though
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dustinraditya:
bootlooped! maybe i miss something? i flashed this over terminus, and i used gapps from n5x :confused:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Hm weird. You used the beta zip right? Gapps shouldn't matter, but if you want to revert there is a backup zip under data/vrtheme-backup
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Dougfresh:
Maybe updating the thread would be helpful to indicate V3 VRTheme so it's not confusing
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
It's under the changelog already. It will be clearer in future builds
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
v1 for Dec 27 is here
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
v3 uploaded

Enjoy a clear documents ui
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] SteveMurphy:
Wow, really loving the clear UI - thank you very much for this! Running perfect on Terminus (12/27),
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dustinraditya:
Or am I undergone wrong instructions? I installed the theme this way:

1. Terminus

2. N5x gapps

3. SuperSU

4. Reboot, restored apps from titanium backup

5. Back to recovery, flashed the theme, then bootloop

Why i suspect gapps? Because when it is still in boot animation the screen flicker and a couple of dialog box with "*google apps* (forgot the app name) has stopped working" and then the boot animation reappear

What could go wrong?

And no, I don't see any backup .zip in the directory you mentioned before
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Weird, that looks right. Maybe try banked gapps
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
I used the Grogg88 full gapps without any problems.

Btw awesome theme!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Citizen_Snips:
Same. Latest update, Grogg gapps. Working and looking great.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Dougfresh:
Found some blacked out gapps that will make this theme complete: https://plus.google.com/115196531525424202673/posts/9zFY8N2Jc3p
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] astrovale:
Hello,

is it only me or is it normal to get a darker home screen? I get a very dark wallpaper and I can't understand why! Everything else looks fine: flashed it OK, but then I got this thing, so I tried reflashing, but no better!

Great job. Still I really like the dark app drawer that I don't get here (unless I screwed up somewhere: quite possible).

Went back to 20th Terminus and Thyrus.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Darker home screen? Screenshot? Thyrus themed the google now launcher, which I presume you are using. I use Nova, so my app drawer is controlled by the app itself. If you want, you can flash my theme over thyrus's. All my components will change and everything I didn't theme will remain untouched
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] SteveMurphy:
For the record I don't have the "dark" homescreen issue - all perfect here.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
I noticed a dark transparent overlay on the google launcher but I used Thyrus's Google Search app with this theme and figured that was the cause.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Screenshot?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
First is google launcher and the second is action launcher.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Lol nice wall. I know the issue
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] astrovale:
Thanks for the tip, I'll flash thyrus 20-12 and then your theme and report back. I'll try to post also a screen shot of the home screen problem, but I doubt it will be helpful since you don't know how it looks in "normal" conditions. Perhaps 2 screen shots:D

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

Great wall! That is exactly what I meant. Any way to solve it? I like Google launcher!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] TrOjAnUK:
Tried all the dark themes.. still think this is the best :) keep up the good work please :D

TrOjAn
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Well I don't recommend flashing themes not built for the same rom version. Wait for the update or use the taintless one.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] astrovale:
That's what I thought. I'll wait for a possible, future update. Thyrus must be on vacations :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
I hear he is done for now.. I just removed everything from his zip that's included in this one then flashed them both ?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Sad to hear that he's taking a break. Hopefully it'll be temporary. As for flashing over, you won't need to remove his stuff. Well it shouldn't make a difference at least. Might save you a few seconds
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Hm. Thought I knew what was causing the black background issue, but looking at it I'm not as sure. Since when has this been happening? I can put a test build up to see if it fixes the problem, but if it does, it's going to cause issues elsewhere

Test Zip for the dark background
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Well this failed.... Some things just can't be cleared out with lollipop yet. Contacts will be available in black soon
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] astrovale:
Interesting approach! Wouldn't probably be able to pull it off!

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------

Sorry, how would one go about flashing both themes with one version that is relative to an earlier release? If I flash first the "old" and then the updated one, would that work? Still would like to be able to select the stuff I want from different themes and combine it (for my own personal use, of course!). It is sure much easier than building from scratch, something that I wouldn't be able to do anyhow!

Happy new year!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
By merging, I mean using different apps from different themes. What each zip essentially does is it replaces an apk with a themed one. If one zip does not have an apk that another one has, flashing it will not modify that apk. Mine takes it a step further as it is a vrtheme, so every file that I don't change is untouched. That means that if there were XML s or png s that were modified in a different theme and I didn't change it, those would stick even if I modified that app.

As for mix and matching your own theme, using different components from one app, that'll basically involve you actually theming. It's pretty straight forward though, and you can always learn by using win merge to see what other themer have changed. Note that some changes may be redundant and not necessary; different devs have different styles.

Doing anything for your personal use is fine, but again remember to ask the respective themes for permission before you upload anything that is based off of their work. For me, I'm happy with new users learning, so as long as I am mentioned in the op with a link to this thread, I encourage anyone to make variants of what I have done. Obviously, I hope you will learn throughout the process, and advance on to making original works of your own :).

If you still need some more info on theming, I have a link to a site I made a while back detailing certain steps. It's still generally correct today. In the future, I might consider updating it.

This marks the end of my very long post.

And of course, happy new year to all!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] hocruxx:
Love this themes running great in terminus. But 1 think issue in play store

.hope you can fix this and take your time

Happy new year
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Since you're using my theme, I'll assume you like dark apps. So feel free to download and flash team blackout's play store. It'll make your phone a lot nicer :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] hocruxx:
If i want install all the dark apps. I should uninstall all the original app right?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
If you download apps like the play store from the Tbo app, it comes as a flashable zip with a script to remove the original app, so there is no need for you to do it. You can do it if you want though.

For apps requiring direct installation, you will need to as the signature will be different
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
I ported your theme to my Nexus 7 on SimpleAOSP this evening with DiffMerge (for personal use only) and everything is working great except when I pull down the notifications they are all the way to the left side of the screen instead of centered.

Do you have any ideas on why? I've rethemed the systemui several times trying to figure out what is causing it and it comes out the same for me each time.

If I can figure it out I would love to share because there are no themes for the Nexus 7 yet. With your permission of course.

Happy New Years!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
I can almost be certain that you accidentally copied am alignment somewhere when theming the system ui. Take the original apk and compare it again. Look closely at the changes and don't copy entire blocks of text with keyboard shortcuts when you are seeing things that aren't colors or drawables being changed. God luck and you have my permission as long as you give credits :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] hocruxx:
I search in tbo website that the link has been remove also i see in tbo threat was closed in 21 desember
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
Yeah you need the downloader app from the tbo thread and the thread is locked because the tbo team is taking the holidays off.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

I was really careful the last three times I themed Systemui ? I either made a mistake or maybe there is something else I'm missing because this device is xhdpi.

Thanks for the permission to share and of course I will give you credit.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Dougfresh:
TBO apk: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rcyvzyaldulcfxx/NEW-BlackOutUpdater-v5.0.0.apk?dl=0
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Try theming only framework and settings and see if your notification panel is in the right position. It could be influenced in a different app. Using an xhdpi shouldn't have an effect. You should only be changing certain color values or styles, not the actual layout or dimensions of anything
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
The first apk l themed was the systemui and it was to the left but I will double check that tomorrow by pushing the original systemui. I just used diffmerge to compare my edits with the original apk and don't see any mistakes or edits that would cause this.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] gagitrix:
awesome

this is freaking awesome.. is this for all android devices ?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
I pushed the original systemui and it's in the center as it should be.

Edit: On a hunch I made one single edit to colors.xml and the notifications are on the left. I wonder if this is an apktool error causing this.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Do you have a nexus 5 as well? Make sure the framework you are using to compile and decompile is for your tablet
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Unfortunately not. It's not even compatible with other roms. You'll have to wait until the cm theme chooser comes out. You may choose to test this on another xxhdpi device with terminus (if that exists) but I wouldn't recommend doing it anywhere else. The zip makes a backup file though, if you wish to test just in case
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
Oh wow you know what I think I did use the Nexus 5 framework for apktool ?

Edit: I fixed it with some edits in layouts but next time I will use the correct framework in apktool to see if that's where the issue came from. Thank you for your theme and your time helping me [MENTION=5230774]asdfasdfvful[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] gagitrix:
my device dont have devs, unfortunately.. heres the specs

Cherry Mobile Magnum S Specs

1.7 Ghz Octa Core procesor, Mali 450MP, 1GB RAM

5 inch HD IPS Screen, Corning Gorilla Glass 3

Android KitKat 4.4

18MP BSI rear cam + 8 MP front camera with flash

16 GB internal storage

2300 mAh non-removable battery

can you theme it with this one? by the way Happy new year :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Those specs don't affect the app haha. It depends only on your resolution and dimensions really. It's hard for me to maintain themes for devices I can't test, but as another user has already done, you can learn the decompile and recompile apps (it's literally a few clicks) then win merging the differences (basically copy over the color changes I made). If you are on aosp, the apps should be surprisingly similar, and you shouldn't have much trouble with it. You don't need any coding knowledge
