Thats what im saying buying it
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
looks sick, Mark. release it up
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well the impossible theme has been pushed to google play.

You asked for it......

It likely isn't live yet but will be in a bit.

I say impossible because for a long time i said a light pixel style theme could not be done. That being said there are areas where i had to compromise and in which case what i did was stick to the primary pixel colors and do the best i can. Really the only issues are having a light action bar which isn't a big deal tbh. And a light notification panel. Those two things simply cannot be done with a light theme unless i went with blue text throughout the entire theme. I did that originally and after about an hour of using it i decided it was juat too much and changed it up. I found doing that gave a better look and albeit i do still utilize blue text here and there, it's not too much and does give a nice contrast. All colors used in the theme are that from the pixel itself so i hope you guys like it

I am amazed at how difficult this one was to do. Like for real this one was hard. Especially the keyboard. You will get the first and only legit material style LG keyboard. Others have attempted it but none have nailed it yet. I am quite oroud of this alone! It required a lot of outside the box thinking to do it!

In the meantime here is a little preview for you guys

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Is there any chance you'll do any Substratum themes? I'll miss Dark Material when AOSP is finished.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well i will eventually. If there was a way to root the 915 and not lose cell signal you would have one already!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
I could be your tester :p
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragion:
Pixel UI owner!

Thanks... :)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
great theme Mark! just curious, howcome the notification bar goes blue in like, settings or battery, but not in apps like phone, contacts etc? would be cool if it always went blue ?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I believe this is an LG bug actually. I noticed this with my first theme. According to LG's theme system it should work but something is preventing it from working. It annoys me that it does that but it is out of my hands. Unless of course I'm wrong and other themes have it. Have you come across any theme it works on?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hatman41:
Hi Mark,

All your screenshots are the same one?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
No they're all different.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
haven't noticed it working on any theme really mark, so you're right, must be an LG bug!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hatman41:
I just went to post 10 and refreshed the screen and to me all your screenshots are the same one.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Ok go check again. No idea what happened. Should be fine now
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hatman41:
Much better! Great looking theme!!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fclifton:
The Pixel theme looks really sweet. So I bought it :) A nice contrast to the LG UI Dark that I also use. One thing I noticed is that on the LG keyboard, on the "." key or the mic key, the menu that comes up when holding the key is white on light grey. Any way to change that?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
well I could I guess. I didn't think it was a big deal though but I can take a look again. The cursor that moves around in said box is dark which is a nice contrast. I'm surprised anyone uses that symbol box since we have them as secondary on the keys themselves
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fclifton:
I wear contacts but for close vision they are not so good (old eyes). I have a hard time making out the secondary items on the keys because they are small. The ones in the box are larger, easier to pick out. I actually never even notice the cursor since I just tap a key, don't move around usually. Thanks for looking!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Kinda off topic, but can you make a paid app that will throw music visualization on lockscreen? The same way CM does it? So no matter what lock screen wallpaper you have, you will see visualization bars jumping up and down.

This has been bugging me ever since I stopped using a custom ROM.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Here is an example.

I disable music notifications because I can't stand album art on lock screen.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
What exactly did you disable? I also hate the art!

I'm surprised there isnt a good visualizer already.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
For root there is an option. I don't want to root. There are 2 apps that put visualization in the nav bar. I just want it for lock screen and to only show when I play music. The apps I've tried changes the wallpaper and keeps it like that.

Just a heads up, if you disable the notifications, you are forced to pause ,skip forward ,skip back in the second screen. I don't mind that since to me, that's what the second screen is designed for.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Might be able to play with something one day. There are some cool things on github that are similar
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
I would be willing to pay $10 for it. I'm sure you know how CM looks, but I'll post a SS of it. Maybe you can make it do different colors.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
hahahaha Bush. brings me back to 1995.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
For what ever reason, this guy used my SS in his post.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37105306/lock-screen-visualizer-cyanogenmod

Yep, love Bush.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
So I'm thinking green needs to happen. Thoughts?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Yes! But can it be dark? I know that can be tricky.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mcobasjr41:
Definitely need another dark theme.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Dark is much easier to do i think. Less compromising.

Yeah i prefer dark too. Just need to decide on the hex to use.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Do #0f0 and #000 :p

Easier? Huh. I could never get green and dark to blend well unless I used black.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mcobasjr41:
Something cyan? Kinda Tron like?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] EROMITLAB:
Playstore Green would be good.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I have a soft spot for cyan! It should happen too
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
That does fit the Material Design.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Can't go wrong with that. I'm gonna experiment with a few ideas tonight.

On a side note does anyone think a light material theme/light aosp would be a good one? Pixel primarily uses blue tones while aosp uses teal. Thoughts on that idea?

And for the dark material/aosp users do you guys want me to redo the keyboard to a true material style now that I've finally managed to pull the look off or keep them as is?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ryano89:
I'm in the minority I guess, but I love the light themes.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I do too. I want to make a few more!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
So are most of you guys rooted in here? I might be making something unrelated to this thread that requires root but is directed towards our phone.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] EROMITLAB:
I'm not rooted. Have no desire as of now.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Same. I don't care too much about root. Maybe partly because there is no root method for my phone.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
not rooted only bc im lazy. I'm the us996 so I can unlock bootloader etc. just don't feel like doing all the crap. don't understand why even though there's unlock able bootloader, you still gotta jump through hoops for root. annoying.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Rooted here. Would be interested to play around with some mods and themes and such.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well if all goes well you will have something to play with in the not too distant future
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
You guys who haven't rooted yet are missing out. idk, I've rooted every smartphone I've owned starting with the Samsung Droid Charge in 2011, then the LG spectrum in 2012, then the G2 in 2012, then the G3 (still going strong and tethered with it as I type this) then the V10 (now my mom's phone :D ) and now the V20. I'm rocking Resurrection Remix atm but even if you want to stay on a stock based ROM WETA is amazing. In a few months time, I imagine the V20 is going to be loaded with ROMs, Kernels, mods, etc. It's already doing pretty good in that department.

Anyway, sorry for going off topic, just trying to push you guys into rooting and joining the cool crowd :cool:
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mcobasjr41:
I've got the T-Mobile version of the V20 and seems like quite a bit can wrong in the process and lots of hoops to jump through from what I've been able to gather.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Compared to the Verizon Note 4, it's a piece of cake. Took me half an hour to root and ROM.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I can't root! 915 is a no go!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Still no developments in getting data back? Have you thought about using a 918?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Ive had bud luck with buying tmobile devices and getting them unlocked ever since they made the device unlock app. Not wanting to experience that nightmare again
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
I rooted, seen no point in it. Also Android Pay is awesome.

I'm pure stock not rooted.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
I want to root badly but I'm too lazy to factory reset and start over. but I want ad away. that's pretty much it. hahah
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
There are non root ad blockers. I know of three. Block this, ad guard, and seven ad clear. They all suck battery though.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Seven never worked for me all that well
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ryano89:
Also Blokada works well.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fclifton:
Not I and no plans to.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
haha exactly why I don't use them. I don't get great battery life so I don't wanna deal with even worse.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] axaman943:
Hi Mark, I love your work and purchased LG UI dark, Dark AOSP and Dark Material, i like the pixel themes you've developed but not really a fan of the blue color. Do you think you would be able (or willing) to develop the pixel ui in black accents instead of blue?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well that isn't out of the realm of possibilities. I was however thinking of doing one simar but using the stock aosp teal accents.

But right now I'm working on a top secret root only project... blind! So as cool as i believe it will be, I will never get to use it! But i think this will be a big hit for everyone who has root!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
nice! Can't wait to see what you're cooking up :D
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Me too!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Just an update guys

New project is working exactly how i was hoping it would. So far every feature is working. Now to add a bunch of stuff and more tweaks for you guys. I may need to buy another rooted v20 or cheap g5 so i can test and use ehat im doing! I made remix blind which is both cool and frustrating. But st least i finally got to try it!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mkpcxxl:
Great to hear, success with projects is somethong great.

Hopefully soon we will see it here.

Best regards

mkpcxxl
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
I would highly recommend you getting another v20 to root with. Not just to use to build your rooted themes with, but to be able to run WETA ROM! That ROM is turning into something amazing. We can now use the second screen as the status bar 100% of the time and theme the battery and clock within the second screen. It also has its own substratum app which allows for quite a few neat customisation options. Mentalmuso is really doing an outstanding job on that ROM and has made owning the v20 a much more enjoyable experience.

Oh, and thanks for the updates. I'm currently at my thanks limit so couldn't use the button :/
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
No worries man. Hmm never heard of the rom but thats because there is no point in looking through the development section. I'll have to check swappa for a deal
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
been quiet here for a few days so I'm just leaving a useless comment to make sure everyone is alive :p
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
It has been. My root project is not going so well. Well not that it isn't going well but not quickly. Testwrs aren't always available and that slows me down. I need a rooted phone for this. So i think im gonna make another theme in the meantime. I underestimated the time on the other project. Time for some darkness.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Addiso:
I can be of hand if you need a tester with root?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
I'm here to test and maybe even help. Finally figured out Smali.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well i won't need to touch smali but its more so the frustration of not being able to use what i need. It really slows down the process.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mkpcxxl:
Hi markbencze,

only a wish, I am dreaming of your crush theme in a gray-blue or iceblue.

I really like the view of your theme but orange is not my colour.

Would be nice if you could think about it.

Thanks and best regards

mkpcxxl
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
It's something i will ponder. I'm in the middle of a couple things right now. One i had hoped to finish last week but doing it blind just takes all thr fun out of doing it.

Next theme people will love it, hate it or secretly love it and not want to say they like it! It's somethig a lot of people have asked for.

But hopefully people like Mi Theme!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mkpcxxl:
Nice that you will think about it.

And again I would like to thank you.

Without people like you our community would be poor.

Best regards

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rudbwoy:
Bought the "Dark Material them for LG V20" from the Play Store. Looks great! Thank you markbencze!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragion:
I have also thought that the "CRUSH" theme would be nice in a similar "MAGENTA" or "HOT PINK"...something that will bring some sort of "PoP" with an inky Black background.

I have purchased all your themes and enjoy them immensely.

Thanks Mark! :good:
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Thanks man i appreciate the support. Everyone here has been great. My new one should be good too!

Funny you guys mention doing different flavors of crush. My wife says the same thing. I can't believe i haven't done cyan yet! Honestly it is one of my favorites to do. And my buddy Darryl whom crush is inspired by gives me crap for it too!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Thanks man. Dark material is my dark horse theme. Believe it or not when i staryed making it I almost scrapped it half way through it. I wasn't sure if people would even like it. It slowly gained traction and is now my most popular theme passing Remix about a week ago!

There is one thing i have been wanting to do to both DM and Aosp, which is update them both to have a true material flat and minimal keyboard. I would have released both that way but it took me 3 months to figure out a way to pull off that style and I didn't think it was even doable. The issue with doing that is that there are a crap ton of people using those two themes and have likely gotten used to it and happy with how it is. Doing drastic overhauls like that always create a huge stir both positive and negative. From my experience I'll get a bunch of new reviews or emails showing their appreciation for the new and more true material look and then the other half changes their 5 star reviews to 1 star, demands refunds and refuses to use anything else from me. So that's the dilemma with that. But moving forward I'll likely stick to a true mininal material style.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mkpcxxl:
Yes, in cyan it would be also great. it's a nice color.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well I'm part way done a new theme. Doing some green because well i wanted a bit of green. Really just need to finalize a few things regarding the direction and then make icons which takes me longer than a couple other guys because well i don't just take them from "other sources" for every theme and package them out and call it my own!

Post on google plus if ya wanna take a peak and voice your opinion. Keep in mind that even the hex of the green is not set in stone either so feedback on that is also welcome.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] EROMITLAB:
Perfect ??
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hybrid Divide:
Love it! I agree, though, that the neon green is a bit much. One suggestion though, have the text of the highlighted item in green. like the Dialer text in the top menu of your first screenshot. Thanks. Will buy this one.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
well I ran with the bright green all day yesterday and it was just too much. I even used the version with the dark action bar and it's still just too bright. Michael harmon posted a screenshot in the comments of my thread showing his keyboard. That green is quite nice so I may try changing everything and see how it goes. I'll keep your idea in mind and see how it works.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] suhridkhan:
amazing themes. Thanks.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] emmanuelw:
Hi is there a theme with black and pink? Also is it possible to change the look of the icons in the theme dark material to something either aosp icon set or minimalistic unified looking icons?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
If you wanna change icons you need to use a different launcher. The theme flow snd indigo flow have some pink in them
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
that green is really nice.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] astonmartin214:
okay how I go about buying one of the themes I'm really loving the Dark UI theme
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
go check the party store. Mark can't provide any links because it's against xda rules.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Go follow me on google plus for additional information!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Anyone get Google Assistant on their LG V20 yet?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Maybe make a new thread....
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Why? We all have the V20.....Also it's nice to just bump the thread every now and then.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
If we're being that technical, some of us have the G5.

But it's just kind of rude to ask a random question in a thread. It's sort of like asking for ETAs. As for being good to bump the thread, I know Mark is a quality over quantity person.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
I think you are making a big deal over nothing dude. It was a simple yes or no if a person wanted to respond to my question.

If Mark thinks it's inappropriate he would tell me I'm sure.

Also he let it be known he has no issues asking for ETA's.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] astonmartin214:
found it then bought the theme
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
It's all good guys. I don't mind. The only thing that really bugs me besides trolling is linking to or recommending other people's themes for obvious reasons. Well i guess chris, Charles and hitens doesn't bug me so much beacause we're friends but the other 3 guys is a big no no because i can't stand when people take other people's work without permission and package them up and sell them.

Oh and I'll be resuming work on the green theme shortly guys. I've been tied up all week doing ither secret projects lol and tonight is taco night followed by walking dead so no theming for me!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Haha!!! I'm making tacos tonight as well!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Lol
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lingo2012:
Lmao had tacos last night
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Mark!!!!!! Wake up!!!!! LMAO what are you cooking up for us?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
tacos, obviously.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Lol!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fryingpan0613:
I just got the vector theme and it's beautiful!!! I see why cbucz24 raves about you so much now. Well worth it if anyone is hesitating on it they should buy it or not.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Thanks man. That theme was probably the hardest one to do. Yeah chris was really good to help me last night with some android studio issues. I was updating it and it borked absolutely everything i had and i lost (well thought i lost everything) and was in full panic mode. All it took was some fresh eyes for about 5 minutes from someone calm and i was back up and running. We've all been a good team helping each other out
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] RMXO:
I had a taco salad today, does that count? :laugh:
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Absolutely
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
I really love your work. I bought crush I think yesterday.

Trying to rate the theme was odd. I hope I did it right. It asked me if the theme had ringtones, lock screen and other things.

I do like crush but that solid orange bar seems to really stand out. Not really my thing. I was hoping you can do another theme simular to crush. Same drop down notification shade but revamped settings. I miss the newer style type toggles.

I was never a fan of dark themes till you started making them.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vagelis:
I have 4 or 5 of your themes now, including crush, Pixel, vector and material. Small little pet peeve if I may request, for any future updates: the stock theme had ellipses in the above screenshot, for WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile data. That clearly indicated a sub panel for additional settings. Would it be possible to have these ellipses return to the appropriate settings screens in a future update? Not a big deal, but for an attention to detail guy like you, I'm sure you understand. Thank you for your consideration, and all the excellent theming!

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
Those weren't functional. Have you ever click on them before? This came up a couple months ago in this thread and I personally tested them on the Verizon stock theme and they didn't do anything. So have you actually clicked on them? If I remember correctly the color of those are tied to other elements so basically they are hidden but not removed. So if they are actually functional you should still be able to use them.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
You are spot on. They're just for show. They don't offer an additional functionality over clicking anywhere on them. I removed them and the divider lines in some themes for a cleaner an minimal look. You may have found I set a trend among some designers lol!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Oh and for those that mau have wondered what the status of the green theme i was playing with is.

Well in all honesty i am just not happy with it and for now I'm scrapping it although in the future it will probably get a revisit. But my material series (dark material and dark aosp) are what people seem to really enjoy so i have another one for the material series coming next. I'm quite certain this will turn out great as well.
