I've updated my versions of z31s1g's themes... With v2, I made TBO, TBO Multirom, and TBO Play for 1440. Enjoy!

TWRP 3.0 and theme compatibility

Regarding the upcoming release of TWRP 3.0 and theme compatibility

In the not so distant future, TWRP will receive a major version bump to 3.0.

Amongst many other things, the changes will also include a new stock theme. It'll be a blend of the old stock theme and the Materialised theme.

During the last half year, there have been many changes to the theme engine that I'd like to (and need to) take advantage of.

The one that affects Materialised the most, is the introduction of multi language support: currently, all button labels are part of the button PNGs. I went down this road at a time when TWRP was using a rather ugly looking proprietary font format. But ever since we have True Type Font support, ugly looking fonts no longer are a nuissance. So far, I've refrained from making the required changes to make full use of TTF support, because it's quite an effort. Now, with multi language support on the horizon, I will have to make these changes to maintain full compatibility with TWRP.

There have been other changes, like the new terminal. It requires to use a software drawn keyboard to accomodate for additional keys (the current keyboard also consists of PNGs).

Other changes to the theme engine allow to significantly strip down the XML, so far Materialised doesn't take advantage of these possibilities.

The splash screen will no longer consist of a single static JPG, but will be an XML based page (like the rest of the ui).

This means the AIK integration of Materialised (to change the splash) will break as well and needs to be adapted.

So, point being:

Materialised will loose its compatibility once TWRP 3.0 will be released. I'll not have an updated version ready in time.

To prevent any harm to the device (and user confusion), a newly implemented theme version check will prevent Materialised from loading, so TWRP will automatically default back to the stock theme.

While it would be easy to trick the theme version check, I will not do this.

Sacrificing functionality for the looks was never the intention for this theme.

Instead, I'll be revising the XML and build it from scratch.

The result will be a much leaner version of Materialised (in terms of file size), but still with the looks and functionality that make it a worthwhile addition to TWRP.

As for an ETA: I'm aiming for end of march.

In the meantime, please help looking for potential bugs in the new stock theme, or consider to participate in translating the ui (I assume there will be an additional call to arms for that in the twrp threads).

Thank you for using Materialised.

I inverted the new Shamu Multirom TWRP ?

Here is the repack 02-10 https://app.box.com/s/y19eamieulxqfiw33ijae2hkfvwsjdvp

Updated my repack for Multirom ?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SysWiz:
Could you briefly describe how you did this? I'd like to take a look at the IMG file and modify the colors. Is there an official theme template or readme for v3.0.0? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] thereal_bigjake:
I used AIK to unpack the image http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2073775

In ramdisk/twres/ you'll find ui.xml and splash.xml open them and find the color codes, change them to what you want.

In ramdisk/twres/images/ you'll find all the pngs to modify

When you're done repack the image ?

You rock! Thanks for taking the time to explain.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] mwebb34:
I found a app in the play store called TWRP theme I downloaded it and looked at some of the themes and they are kick ass. The app was made for the nexus S Nexus 4 and 5. The screen res only goes up to 1920x 1080p. I wonder if the theme would work if I changed my screen res and download a older version of TWRP? It would be awesome if someone would make themes like what's in the app.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Yes, a 1920x1080 theme would also work on other resolutions (preferably of the same aspect ratio).

But:

The theme manager app doesn't link to themes, but redistributes them. It hasn't been updated since November 2014, so the themes it contains are not compatible with the recoveries released since 2015. A compatibility check doesn't exist.

The themes in the app were either made by [MENTION=5262581]NorthLight[/MENTION] (the more colorful ones) or me (the holo design ones). Both can still be found at XDA. The Holofied themes were replaced by Materialised starting with twrp 2800. At the same time Northlight stopped updating his themes.

Will they be resurrected? No for Holofied, and I suspect Northlight has moved on for good as well.

It's the only one I'm updating and monitoring.

Here are the photos.

They're not very good. The blurry one represents the colours accurately.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
That looks perfectly fine to me. How does it look different from viewing the splash in your gallery app?

Only difference could come from the screen brightness. The twrp splash is shown at max possible screen brightness, only after loading the ui the brightness is set to the value you've set in twrp settings.

The dark / light color used on the splashes are the exact same as the ones used in the theme.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] danarama:
The photos don't quite do it justice. In the gallery, on full brightness (manual not adaptive) the top part of the image is light grey like the second picture. When booting into recovery that grey part is brilliant white and the dark grey bottom is light grey. Also I notice some alias artifacts and banding in the now "white" section inside the arrow.

Anyway its not a big deal. Just not sure why its doing that. Would be interesting to see if anyone else can reproduce it
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
The images aren't rendered in their full quality, but that's a twrp issue.

If you compare the quality between hammerhead and shamu, you'll see the difference. If you then use the 1080 theme from hammerhead on shamu, it also gets displayed in lower quality. Vise versa the 1440 theme looks perfect on hammerhead. Was hoping they would fix this with the 2840 update. The banding displayed instead of gradients doesn't do justice to the screen of the Nexus 6...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] danarama:
No worries. Thanks for your input. :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Lesser Version:
In regards to themes, can you only have one theme at a time in the the theme folder? I am aware of renaming the theme to ui.zip, but that only allows you to keep onein the folder at a time. Is there a way to name theme so I can keep multiple themes and choose between them at will? Thanks for any help
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Have you tried the built-in theme switcher? It can be found in the theme settings. There you can simply choose a theme zip, regardless of it's naming or the folder it's in, and a script will do the renaming and copying.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
All themes updated

All themes updated for 2840

The main challenge for this update was to integrate the native image flashing support while keeping the "old" flashify script as an option.

If you haven't used either of the two yet, here's what differentiates them:

Native image flashing

new in TWRP 2840

can flash boot and recovery images (as of yet, support for other partitions might come)

image size is checked before attempting to flash the respective partition: if the image doesn't fit the partition, flashing will be canceled

currently can't be fully integrated into the image repacking process: after the repack has been created, you'll be taken to the "install image" page, where you have to manually select the target partition and confirm the flash

flashing takes the blink of an eye (it's fast)

Flashify script

has been around since [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] created it

can flash boot, recovery and radio partitions

is fully integrated into the image repacking process: after the repack has been created, the image will automatically be flashed

flashing takes multiple blinks of an eye (the old fast is the new slow)

How to switch between zip and image flashing:

on the "install" page, tab on "install zip" (app bar)

select "install image"

proceed

By default, the theme is set to use the (more secure / faster) native method.

To use the (more versatile / better integrated with the theme) flashify method, enable the option in theme settings.

If in doubt, better use default. (I've learned that while trying to "tweak" kernel settings...)

Full changelog:

added support for native image flashing

added option to use the "old" flashify script (instead of the native image flashing) to theme settings

added a warning dialog to the "include theme in repack" option

changed font on app bar from Roboto Regular to Medium

built-in theme changer now sets ownership of the ui.zip to media_rw:media_rw (should solve the problem of an "undeletable" ui.zip)

removed "back" functionality from arrow icon on "installing zip" page

removed "show full multirom version number" option from theme settings (MultiRom themes only: had to drop one option for another, but the info is still present on the "about" page)

added recovery / theme version info to the about page (tab on the TWRP logo on main menu...)

changed the highlight color on the message window from holo blue to some material green (Play themes only)

removed the degree sign from cpu temperature, as it's not being displayed correctly (1080 and 1440 still have it, as Nexus 5 and 6 do show it correctly)

1536 themes released, Nexus 9 is now officially part of the family...

This version 284X_v1 replaces the 2840 version I silently uploaded two days ago!

Download from the 284X_v1.

So the option to change splash screen is very cool. However, the new splash screen is not full screen. It's like up in the top left corner of the screen. What did I do wrong here? I used a splash screen from the slash set (dark-lightblue).

To simplify post 2...

-Flash aik zip

-Download a splash screen

-use "change splash" button.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] michmeister:
There's 4 different aik zips . which one for nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] danarama:
AIK mobile installer.

Flashed that and the splash screens. Choose change theme and nothing.

No I read I choose the recovery image then I click on pick jpg file and there are none. No choices I have the slash screens downloaded and I flashed the installer
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Have you unpacked the splash zip? You just need to browse to the folder and pick one.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] michmeister:
In recovery.?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] danarama:
No. Its just a normal zip full of splashes. You unzip them on your sdcard in android.

OK splash screen fits now. But material design is gone it's the old twrp
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Did you check the option to include the theme on an earlier attempt to change the splash? If yes, you now need a ui.zip again.

z31s1g do you know if i could use a different resolution for the splash screen.. i cant find a good Jpeg in 1440x2560
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
You can, but it will look fugly as the splash is always aligned to the top left corner of the screen. So you'll have black bars on the right side / bottom if the image is too small, or the image won't be centered ( if it's bigger than the screens resolution).
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Lw00d:
Ok . thanks for the heads up.

After changing my twrp slash screen I got stuck in recovery. Every time I rebooted system it brought me back to recovery. Not sure what I did wrong but I was able to theme both the splash and theme. Does it matter if you flash image to boot or recovery partition?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] danarama:
Boot is your kernel partition. On the N6, our recovery is on the recovery partition - so yes it does matter. If you flash to boot, you replace your kernel and phone will be unable to boot
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
All themes updated

All themes updated for TWRP 2850:

changed the script used to change the splash screen to work with new recovery file structure

added "cancel backup" button

during backups, the file progress is now shown on the appbar (next to the partition that is currently beeing backed up, as it's a partition specific value)

Do not use the 285X themes on a 284X recovery. This combination will result in a never ending backup process, that can only be interrupted by a hard reboot.

Download from the 285X_v1 folder for your resolution.

EDIT:

I've just been made aware that the toggle to change the font size is broken.

Using it will make the file list disappear, and it'll only come back after a reboot to recovery.

While the code in my theme hasn't changed, something in TWRP has.

So before I'm going to remove the toggle, I'll wait for the TWRP devs to investigate the issue.

So please do not use the font size toggle for now.

Hey [MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION]-

Thanks again for your awesome work, been using your themes since my N5 and love them on my N6 now.

I successfully applied your updated theme for 2.8.5 TWRP after upgrading it. However, when I try to change splash screen, I can choose the file I want just fine-but there is no slider bar to swipe for applying. Do I need to re-install AIK since the recovery image has been updated?

Thanks!

And your comment about same nature as yours threw me off, until I realized what you were referring to. I had added that donate button ages ago whilst messing with my profile settings and totally forgot to remove it (I only offer help in forums when I can, I'm not a dev or contributor so got no reason to expect any beer money for me, LOL). I rarely am on XDA web (usually only on XDA apk), and never see it. Gone now!

The materials are killer! I spent the better part of the weekend dabbling in RRO layers for my custom ROM and then I saw this! The designs totally put twrp recovery in lollipop attire. And I dig it! Now that I "themed" twrp my Nexus 6 is now complete. Much obliged for sharing the materials! Have a nice day :)
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] my95z34:
Just a quick bug I just found. I attempted to flash a radio image using the recovery, and it acted like it flashed properly, but afterwords it kept saying that it couldn't mount /firmware. Also, device refused to boot at all beyond the splash screen. I had to flash the radio in fastboot to recover my device. Not sure what happened, or anything, but if you need me to test any specific actions, let me know!

Other than that, I absolutely love this theme. It's amazing!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] SirRastusBear:
Doubt that's an issue with the theme. Sounds more of an issue with TWRP itself, or the file you flashed is corrupt. Did you check the MD5 on the file when you downloaded?
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
Can you link me to the images you tried to flash? Never tried flashing radios on shamu, last time on hammerhead it was working flawlessly.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] my95z34:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2969380

And the images shouldn't be corrupt. I flashed the exact same ones via fastboot to recover it. Transferred them from the phone to my laptop.

For the record, I didn't realize that TWRP offered the image flashing functionality at all, I had assumed it was coming from the theme. I just updated my girlfriends N6 recovery using the standard TWRP image flashing and it worked just fine. So I wonder if it's the flashify script.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] Smallsmx3:
How do you flash the radio? Are you supposed to flash to recovery partition? Or not select a partition at all
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stumpy352:
This is a good question. There seems to be no option for radio. AFAIK flashify doesn't support flashing radios.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] danarama:
Not sure if you wanted confirmation but in case you do, that is correct
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] stumpy352:
Yeah, I was aware that the flashify app didn't, but [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] says we can use this theme's flashify script to flash radio images in twrp. But there is no option for it.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] micmars:
My guess is that the option is selectable at the top from within the install submenu of TWRP...

Sent from my Nexus 6 Shamu
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] danarama:
Go a bit further than that...
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] z31s1g:
The native image flashing doesn't support radio images. The flashify script by [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] does.

To use the script, go to materialised settings and check "use flashify script".

Now you'll see an additional partition to select when flashing images.

But be warned: while this worked flawlessly on my nexus 5, someone reported it doesn't on the nexus 6. I still haven't tried it myself, so if you do, have fastboot ready to flash manually in case it doesn't work.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] micmars:
Thank you very much, for both the guidance on getting there, and the warning.
