Rom's will come out based on the latest updates. That's not going to be an issue at all. Plus, eventually returning to stock will be possible.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Returning to Stock already is possible.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
Not for all devices. I'm aware it is for some now.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Right. I have the T-Mobile version, so I don't need to worry at all. That's why I'm confused at the "you can't restore" message. I mentioned my model.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
I would be careful, many users messed up going back to stock.

Oddly enough I can't even update my V20. T-Mobile is not giving me the OTA. Using LG bridge, the update fails.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
I honestly don't plan on it unless I absolutely have to. I don't care about not getting the update as soon as it comes out (I hadn't seen it a day after it was supposed to have been released anyway), and I like having my DPI actually set to the proper 515. I can also get my custom boot animation back instead of the horrendous bright white T-Mobile logo.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] antonio86:
I hope u can get it thru because that theme is ?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Thanks man and merry Christmas to all here! You guys have helped me enjoy xda again and make it fun!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
After years of making themes and other projects on Google play I've finally hit number 1

Thanks to all of you guys in here for the support.

On Christmas of all days too!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
Where's my Christmas present Mark? Lol..

Congratulations!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
That's awesome man! Congrats. I know that must make you feel really good. Glad you never agreed to my idea of starting a fundraiser to get you a V20 because I noticed the download numbers for your themes are pretty decent. The extra income must be nice! :D
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
woooo! good job :D
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] smuvman:
Waiting for this theme as purple is my favorite color. Just bought the glass theme icon pack. Great work.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Skripka:
Happy holidays y'all

Depends on which handset variant you are on..

The Sprint LS997 is still impossible to return to stock....and the dev who came up with the root hard-bricked his phone trying to come up with a way to undo it a few days ago.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
I was arguing my specific case. I said I rooted my T-Mobile, someone said it's impossible to return to Stock, I said it was.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Is the Decepticon theme ready yet?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Nah it's on hold again. Just not satisfied with it yet. Often I take breaks from things if I'm not happy with it and then out of nowhere an idea pops into my head and bam!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Further to my last reply what I'm working on now are a few different variations of my dark material theme. Doing a dark mode style which is basically the color pallet of dark mode in aosp. I've had a lot of emails asking for that and i myself like that color too. And I'm going to then incorporate a dark LG ui into it after that.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
Did you say dark Lg Ui?? Don't lift me up to bring me down..
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Yes sir i did. I have it started already. Hoping to have one of these done tonight and the dark LG ui done by end of week
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
I heart you. I'm sorry I was ever mean.. Lol
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Ok Guys go check post 5.

[MENTION=5619709]Swizzle82[/MENTION] you're up next bro! Then a few more dark material styles and maybe a light style too! (not pixel but light!)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
Very nice. Thanks for your contribution to making the V20 an awesome device.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
Music to my ears. Will you be my boyfriend?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
AOSP Dark is live ladies! I think I was first to buy it :D

Very well done mark. This is basically the theme I was asking for all this time :) You finally came around ;)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] antonio86:
I can't wait for that and the Decepticon theme as well excellent work yall do
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nymikey:
The link brings me to dark material not AOSP.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hatman41:
If you read the link it says to not click on it yet.

Updated post 5 google plus information and discussion link. Now safe to click!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ryano89:
Bought..nice job
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] inkdaddy66:
I just grabbed your dark material theme. Thank you for your work. But I don't have the pixel themed icons... That's what it's supposed to have, right?

Sent from my VS995
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Not anymore. They were removed because they really don't fit with the theme.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
I was checking his google play store page directly and not using that link.

You know that only makes people want to click it :p I had an overwhelming urge to click on it just because it said not to :D

There is a theme in the play store called pixel dark that may be in line with what you're looking for.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] inkdaddy66:
I seen it but I like the support that markbencze gives us. Id rather give him my money

Sent from my VS995
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
"legally" obtain the Dark Pixel theme and then donate $1.50 to Mark. Problem solved! :D

(/s of course)
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nymikey:
Yeah i saw that but someone had already posted before me that they already had purchased it. All good tho!!!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
If you use Nova Launcher, just get Pixel icon pack. It's free.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] inkdaddy66:
Yeah. I know there is that option. But for once, I'm actually happy with the LG launcher. I wouldn't mind using nova but I can't get the LG weather widget onto it.

Sent from my VS995
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I also really like using stock launcher. I've used nova religiously for years but it's nice to change it up every now and then
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
For me, i lije to use as much stock as I can. It just runs more smoothly these days. I only root to change font and block ads nowadays.. Oh and to disable the mytmobile app cause it's a battery and location hog. Can't wait for this dark lg ui you speak of.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
I just switched from Action to Nova. Action is fun, but like you, I wanted to try something new (and Nova was discounted to $.99).
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Agreed. Except I'm not rooted and don't think i could if i wanted to either. My whole outlook on custom roms that aren't aosp based is that imo it's not really needed anymore. These phones are great now and it's not like the old days where a rom was the first thing I went for. Plus everyone it seems is fixated on having the most "debloated" rom ever which usually breaks stuff. I like LG health and the other stuff and don't want to have to flash an add on zip to get them back.

Probably tinker with dark LG a bit tonight if time permits. Still hoping for a end of week release
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
I like AOSP-based ROMs because they're just so much faster than Stock ROMs. I know LG's is relatively light, but it still has some weird customizations and additions, and I know CM (or LOS I guess) would make it a lot faster than it already is. I also just really like how AOSP behaves, like with the notification area: how swiping from the right brings everything down, while everywhere else just gives you notifications and a few quickshortcuts in Nougat. LG needs two swipes no matter what. Stock also has no Adaptive Brightness (only Auto, at least on TMO), and I really enjoyed that.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
You can two finger swipe to bring it all down fyi
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Yeah, but that's somewhat tricky when I'm holding it in one hand.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] inkdaddy66:
I'm using the dark material theme. The message bubbles in the stock messaging app are different sizes. Incoming messages have a thinner look than that of the messages I send out

there's a shot of messages

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I think that's just completely random. The way they stretch are called on by system. The incoming and outgoing are the exact same bubbles just with a different color.

Can you go into settings/apps and click on dark material and take a screen shot for me. I need to check something
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] inkdaddy66:
Sent from my VS995
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Something does seem off but it's not the bubble stretching. That's not something I'm really worried about as it's just random how the stretch......ish . But what is a concern is your sms screenshot shows the incorrect action bar color which was from an older version. I changed that on the last update. Can you go to google play when you get a chance and uninstall and then reinstall the theme. Your action bar color shows me 212121 when in fact it should actually be 607d8b

I'm just wondering if something may have happened during the installation of your update or if something is borked and need to rule a few things out. Also which carrier is the vs995? I'm hoping that doesn't affect anything but a common thing I've taken note of is that many carriers do make a few slight differences on some apps. Most notably contacts/dialer which due to this has caused me to compromise my dialer designs removing the fab on the call button.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lingo2012:

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Ok cool. I'm just throwing out ideas. Anyone else on vzw that sms action bar when in an open conversation is black? But hey at least you have the stock sms app. poor sprint users. idk why sprint removed it from them. i get at least 3 emails every day from sprint users asking why i can't theme google messenger. I wonder if you could flash the sms app if you're rooted on sprint. it might work because albeit you can't install it like a normal apk (which is normal since it is a system app) you might be able to flash it. But that's a whole new topic right there!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Oh I'm just redoing my banners and such for Remix Light guys for the 3 people that use it lol! I totally forgot to push out the update last week and while checking my stuff realized this. Sorry guys. New update coming shortly. Just a refresh, I've updated to a cleaner font, changed action bar to solid and a few other minor things that I forget but it does look better now. Kept divider lines in play as it actually adds to this particular theme. I'll do another light theme down the road without them.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] inkdaddy66:
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It didn't help. Just so you're aware. I'm not complaining, only informing you.

Sent from my VS995
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
ok well I'm interested in hearing from other vzw users to see if this is an isolated vzw thing or not. tough to say until any of them comment.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Btw guys Remix Light update is live, also post 3 has updated banners for it as well.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Darn. I just left Verizon :p
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
thanks man. remix light looks so much better now ??
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
I hope you don't mind, I extracted the APK of remix light. That way if I need to factory reset I'll have the old version. Making the action bar solid blue I think killed the theme.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Logantbrown:
Lol can't please everyone. Sorry your hobby/second job is so hard [MENTION=6877274]marcbe[/MENTION]ncze
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
I only ask since some devs are not OK with backing up paid apk. If the dev is not happy that I did so, I'll delete the apk.

Some people back up, then share it. I would never do that. Even though I bought it, it's still not really mine.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Logantbrown:
Oh yeah yeah, I bet you're totally fine. I just thought it was funny that he had so many complaints to change it then you, a frequent poster in this thread, were super dissatisfied. He can't totally win! At least you can save the apk though.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
I went wrong with saying it killed the theme. I should have worded it differently.

I just wanted to make sure it was cool with him saving it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hatman41:
I am a fan of blue. I own his first theme Remix. I am not however making it my daily driver. Since Chaz187 made the Classic Blue I have been using that theme. That is more my style of blue. I love Marc's work and would buy another one from him if he made one dark blue / black.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Is it possible on Vector if you can redo the icons?

For contacts, make the background white and fill in with red.

Messages, background white and fill in the lines red.

Also for music icon, instead of it being black, maybe it would look better with the headphone icon red?

I'm thinking that might mesh better with the phone icon.

Side note, really loving LG's screenshot fiction.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Yeah just obviously don't share that. I had to do it man. I can't see any other reason the theme has such poor downloads aside from that action bar. I personally like it but I've received too many complaints to ignore and albeit light themes are never as popular as dark ones I needed to do something to try and jump start the project.

Who knows maybe it's just never gonna pick up and is a bust. Sometimes we strike out. I'll make a new light theme in the near future and see what happens.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Oh no, I would never share it. You and every other dev works too hard on something just for some jerk to host it for others.

As you said, you needed to change it based on the majority of what people want. Also to make it have a higher chance to sell. I'm in no way complaining. I should have worded it differently. The change looks nice. To be honest I like them both.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I tend to not do pure black any more. Too many elements are lost by doing that. Material relies on shadows a lot and with pure black that can't be captured. It's ok though because as you mentioned there are some options out there. And I'm happy for those guys. I'm close with every other theme designer for the v20 except the genysis guy. In fact i helped every single one of theme extensively to make their themes and get their developer accounts set up for google play. Also gave them a lot of tough love help which forces them to learn a different way but in the end I know it makes them better. So it's nice to see them have success too.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well maybe I could revist a few things. There are a few things i want to do with that theme anyway. No promises though
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
No worries man. Piracy is the number one reason people quit making themes and apps.

Nothing like seeing a paid theme you've spent a year making thats selling for 1.99 on google play with only 100 downloads and then seeing shady af pirating sites hosting it and having 20k downloads of it. That feeling is absolutely devastating.

I've seen some amazing people quit because of the epidemic and it's a contributing factor in why i stopped making cm themes. Until people experience that feeling they never truly understand how much of an issue piracy really is.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dodgem2012:
Installing these themes?

I purchased the Dark Material theme, and I do not see it, went to settings and do not see a themes setting and in the play store it shows refund not open or anything like that.

So how do I install it after buying and downloading it?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Hatman41:
Settings/home screen/ theme
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dodgem2012:
Thank you, I do not know why I didn't see that before.

OK so next question, i see on the pics for the themes home screen the way that the weather and clock is, how can I get that layout, is it in the widgets?

Nevermind, got it figured out.....
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Glad you got it. All of my theme screenshots shluld aleays reflect the theme layout using stock ekements. Not one of those guys who trick people posting 3rd party setups to make the theme look better than it is.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdmsohc22:
Oh ok cool.. I remember back in the Touch Pro days when HTC was the hot android phone, PPCGEEKS and this site had a slough of diff dev's who'd create theme based setups from sports teams, genre's, etc.. Just an idea :)

The problem with doing offical team or stuff like even decepticon for that matter is the copyright and trademark stuff. Playing with fire on that one.

It's a great way to make a fast buck for some on google play but usually followed by a quick ban as well. Right now the only option for things like that is xda labs. However i found a major flaw with labs app hosting today and as such removed all my themes (for now at least) from it as I found a major vulnerability with it that affects me negatively. Can't go into details on that right now as I'll have to report it to the labs team and see if they can address it or not.

But yeah that's my take in that

Is it possible to get a license for official team logos etc? I wonder how reasonable is their pricing
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I mean you can ask fir permission but they likely wont do it. I asked hasbro inc a while back if i could publish decepticon when i originally made it a cm theme and they said no.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] yobert33:

A bit late for the game, but added the Dark AOSP to my V20 theme collection... :good:
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Almost done lol!

Gotta do some more testing to decide on a few things too. Probably post a few screens later to get some feedback before i finalize a few things
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Here's one sample for what im working on. Basically the whole idea is to actually have the same style as stock but in a dark ui. Not wuite black because as I've mentioned before going pitch black you lose all the material elements like shadows etc. Anyway this may or may not stick. I'm gonna try a few different ideas and see whats best
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Logantbrown:
Nice. I think it's a good idea
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:

Where's [MENTION=5619709]Swizzle82[/MENTION] at?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
I'm here, just got off work. I think I can dig it. I understand what you mean on material element to it... Is there a way to have a dark grey header like you have and the rest be black without effecting the material flow?

Also interested in how you'll do messaging and dialer/contacts..

Edit: The more I look at it, the more I like it.

One request.. On the quick tile panel, could you make the icons white and keep the sliders as is? I think too much green would over kill it and look too much like your aosp..
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
And here is it with the action bar and status bar using the accent. Honestly i can't say it works very well. The other way was much better
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
Oh this is great. I like this so much more.

Edit.. Actually I see what you're saying. Just looked at the stock ui again and yeah, the other is probably better..

How does it look on tab view? I kind of like just the minimal accents of green..
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Heres it in green. I'll show another test shortly
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Meh
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
Yeah the dark header is better..

---------- Post added at 05:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ----------

I thik the white would look more fluid..

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

I think the green accent would look good in messaging and the dialer but not so much in the settings or system ui..
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Dialer:

Green just wasn't as good

In fact the lg shade of green just doesn't seem to work as an action bar I'm finding. Seems using it as a subtle accent throughout is looking better

Edit: I just noticed that the LG calendar on stock theme is dynamic! Damn how didn't I notice that before. Now to see why it's not maintaining that with a theme...or is there a way to do so ??? Probably isn't but we'll see!

nope it's not. Well that's stupid!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
I agree there. The only thing about ot being dark is you lose the color element in the notifications. Like this.. Could we make the header green and the dialer buttons white? How would that look? I like the quick tiles like that..

Or what if you just kept the dialer the original green but dark where there's white?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I can play around some more. I'll find something that works best that makes the most sense. nothing finalized just yet but it really doesn't seem to work going with the green action bar in any app I've tried so far. Just seems off every time I try it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
A little thing i just made!
