Pele, first of all, thanks for this new release, it works great here. I'm too with the ones that request to go back to the "all black" keyboard, I think it just works better. I like the new settings menu with icons, it looks much more intuitive now than the previous one. Also, I wanted to ask you if it's possible to add the Romanian dictionary to the Gingerbread keyboard. Romanian is in the list, but the dictionary isn't there. Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
did you try a re-flash ? thats odd the only main thing i tampered with was gb kybd..

as above pls.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] WhiteHartMart:
Hi Pele

Yes I did try a reflash but problems persisted.

Will have another go later and report back :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kasper_h:
YEEY!

I really like almost all theme improvements!!!

-The settings icons make the settings page look much better

-Readability of messages in the notification area is clearly improved due to the grey background. For me, the grey can be a notch (or two) darker, but I understand that you have to balance darkness vs readability. This is for sure a much better compromise that the unreadable notification in v4.1.1

Only thing I prefered in v4.1.1 (like some of the others) is the full black GB-keyboard. Although I couldn't see the keys, typing worked flawlass and it looked very cool the full black area without individual keys.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
Update :

Next Update might be delayed or I might just update on monday regardless.

Just working on few things i.e. GB KYBD - its not pure black but darker than yesterdays release.

If there are any MAIN issues can you get them in asap and not a day before the update as I will not this time round cram everything in, in a short space of time - and will implement it in the following update.

p.s. thank you to those who donated, many thanks and much appreciated.

One suggestion could be to mod the mms that shows the real sent time of the msg:

It could be really useful.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] runedrune:
Actually that was a part of the theme before. But many people (like me) didn't like it because some of my friends had an earlier time set on their phone than mine. So because of that their messages used to appear above mine even though I had sent mine first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cba1986:
Oh. ok. I didn't know that. Thanks anyways.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I admit I've reverted to the all-black GB keyboard. I had grown fond of it. The settings menu icons are nice, and in general the theme seems cleaner. The only step backward is the GB Keyboard IMO.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Le Brun:
I kinda like the new keyboard, all a matter of personal taste ofcourse :)

That's why it's great that Pele is going to develop other editions!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] All Day On XDA:
i personally prefer the black background on the ongoing notifications like in 4.1.1 but great work. donated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MPKO:
Hi all,my first post in xda,but reasonably familial with the topics what you are tackeling here so don't kill me right a way :)

Black theme is the best one what I have seen up to know, so thanks Pele for that and keep up the briljant work :)

One thing what I have found from the last version : missing numbers on GB main keyboard.don't know if others are having this issue or is it only me

And last, I have to say that overlal layout of 4.1 was better for my eyes than the last one :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] GeobMcFly:
Where can I find information to hack your theme to enable this? I use a phone cover so it is not prone to random unlocking, it's faster and handier for my use :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
the problem with the black background for ongoing notifications is that third party apps that have black text is not visible, so therefore it was important to implement the grey shaded ongoing not. so that it does not affect users apps/visibilty.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
Hi in the first post lower down the page there is a section called quick links - keep an eye on the updates etc to see the real-time progress and what is to be expected in the next update.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SpyderHead:
Thanks pele78 for this great theme. I really like the elegant and clean look.

The only thing I've changed is the battery style in the notification bar ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
looks nice ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jaya7:
Pele has done Black and White theme for minimalism. What i meant is, it'll be nice if he does a Black and Grey theme. I suppose it'll more subtle. In my opinion white is kinda striking on the whole black theme. Then again, it's just my opinion and wish. :) Thanx Pele. This is theme is still my fav.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] WhiteHartMart:
@pele

Further to my posts this morning, tried flashing for a third time and happy to report all working fine.

Thanks very much for your work :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SpyderHead:
Thanks. It's basically based on the one from the Generation X theme by D3StRoY & R64. But I completely reworked it - new color to fit the Black Android theme, thicker bars, another font and a changed charging animation (with icons instead of a text).

It was my first redesign and I was little bit suprised that it's so much work even for such a "small" thing like the battery icon. So big respect for you and your work and keep on going :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
phew you had me worried then.. :D

you telling me hahah, imagine what i go through lol, sometimes i find myself themeing till 3am in morning then waking up before work to theme some more LOL

And i thought flashing was bad...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DvTonder:
I know what you mean. I used to do themes for Windows Mobile a few years back and made them available here on XDA. Was a lot of fun and quite challenging but took over my life - especially when everyone started making suggestions for changes/enhancements :-)

I tip my hat to you sir.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
Just got back.. I have no idea about that i think you have to some xda searching about Menu Button Unlock.

It comes as standard but now themes have disabled that feature because of the reason i stated. This is going back about 5 months now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
That would be a separate feature but wont be integrated - im very close to stable/solid Black Android Theme Standard Edition.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bigmo7:
I'm glad you changed the background on the notification bar because I could never see what Poweramp was playing, although I could hear it but you know :p

I'm on Gingermix atm cos I flashed ZSJPG and I was waiting for the update for yours so I'll do it as soon as get a chance. Just noticed JS8 is available on Doc's rom...don't think I can bring myself to flash again so soon! :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Catch22-:
I'm not really a themes kinda guy, but I happen to like this one. When will you be supporting JS8? Just got the new FW from the Kitchen and I'd like to pimp it with your theme.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] zurchpet:
It works with JS8 from the kitchen. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mr Woolf:
Hi Pele,

Great work again mate, is there any chance you can add a link for previous version with full black notification drop down (I went a bit delete happy after downloading latest rom kitchen base)?

I appreciate the need for the new drop down, I just prefer the old one.

Thanks again.

I actually like the new tint on the GB keyboard. Before I was mistyping all the time because you couldnt see the dividers..far better now!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
UPDATE :

Ok judging by the feedback of v4.4.2 :

GB UI Keyboard mainly....

am i safe to say that the base is stable ? not including apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SamHaLeKe:
Your bat icon is cleaner...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SamHaLeKe:
Hmm
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
tempting i know...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SamHaLeKe:
Stable yes but still some colors are inconsistent

f.e.

Contacts: while pressing a contact (text, not icon) the selected bar becomes grey (should be like pressing a contact in the MMS app), the icon itself gets a Orange border around which is fine (could be white), while I'm in a contact the "new call" and video call button becomes Blue when pressing (should be grey/white)

MMS: while pressing "new message" the selected bar becomes Blue

Settings: Wireless and network/Wi-Fi settings/Wi-Fi networks => active connected network is Blue lighted text (could be white)

Contacts: the name alphabet deviders are gray and not dark shaded like some area's in settings menu => this is visual the most important to do!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SamHaLeKe:
Nice work pele, almost there!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cba1986:
Could be this skin based on JS8?

Just asking you know...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
yes compatible with JS8

Added it to compatible roms list in OP.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
LOL

ok the base is stable, what you stated are app related which is np.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cba1986:
Sorry. What i mean is that the theme could be done from JS8 files.

Another thing that i noticed is the size of browser's "favourite" button in the address bar.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
ok..

Contacts name alphabet was tested with black/dark bar, but visibility was poor so left as is as no majority feedback came of it.

Settings: Wireless and network/Wi-Fi settings/Wi-Fi networks => active connected network is Blue lighted text (could be white) - I will look into this but dont hold me to it - involves xml zzzzz

MMS: while pressing "new message" the selected bar becomes Blue - where is this ??????????

check progress post...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
yes it can, but i am holding off going down that path until GB 2.3, then ill port Black Android Theme (BAT) straight over from 2.2.1 to 2.3
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SamHaLeKe:
Ic

How come visuality is poor when the rest of the theme is looking just fine with dark ones ( some area's in settings f.e) just feel it should be like the rest of the base theme

Mms; just start mms apk and click on new message (compose new message) it becomes blue

I will check progress post... :)

THX for this great project!

Clean and empty is good, very consistent with other setting places in the rom and apps.

Still, the white icons look good ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] B3311:
Icons in settings menu - no thanks.

GB keyboard - don't care, using the Samsung one, has my language suppport.

Dialpad - prefer the previous version, but no biggie.

Notifications - prefer the new one for the same reasons as bigmo7 - can see Poweramp.

Just my $0.02. Otherwise perfect.

Can't understand for the life of me why so many like their phones' colour scheme to look like a psychedelic trip when themes like this exist. Must be a Young Persons Thing... But each to their own.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] All Day On XDA:
PowerAMP allows the notification text to be inverted (Look and Feel > Inverse Status Text Color) so that its perfectly visible on a pure black background.

I accept Pele's point about text visibility - when updating from the market it can be impossible to read the app name in the notification bar sometimes. However is it possible to change the text color on those items rather than the background?

no can do on third party apps that have black text in ongoing notifications, or it will just lead to mass requests... and probably result in modifying all the apps out there that carry black font.

any issues relating to the BASE (NOT APPS) of the Theme ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] utsmaster18:
I thought Pele said that this is compatible with with JS8? Also what benefits would have been lost?

Should i reflash and just select one of the themes from the kitchen?

Thanks, didn't know this
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Logseman:
You didn't know this because it's false. If a theme is not compatible with a firmware it will not boot, and you'll have to flash a working theme or a full ROM (which DOES change the firmware if it was a different one from the starting one). You can't substitute a firmware flashing a theme, as a theme just deals with the graphics part.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] utsmaster18:
Hey thanks but this is what the other guy said so now I'm kind of confused as I'm getting two sides that are saying the opposite thing :p

""Originally Posted by Daneshm90

Yes you are loosing any framework optimizations that the firmware brings with it. The binaries are still js8, but android's core,framework...etc is js7.

I think u misunderstand the concept of theme. Its not just pictures, they distribute the whole packaged apk. If you really want a theme that is framework independant, then look into metamorph.""
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SamHaLeKe:
I always flash only 5 files from pele78 framework subdir, the rest I keep from the new ROM. Black android is not based on js7 framework files nor js8...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
You know....

If this was such a big issue then no body would be flashing themes and there would be one theme per rom.....

And port every couple of weeks..... or when a rom is released.

Pretty strong statement to make which is directly aimed right across the xda theme community.

Sigh.....

P.s. users can see what apks are packed with the available editions of black android
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kasper_h:
Of all files contained in the theme, the only ones you could maybe expect an influence on from the "downgrade" are the framework files. The other files I wouldn't worry about...

Sent from my galaxy using the OLD xda app
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
true true..

The key to my framework and the theme as a whole, is that the majority of my images are 000000 Black = very very small in size... hence the high performance of the theme it has on the users phone. Therefore BAT does not as stated in the OP, does not degrade the users device.

Hi Pele!

Thank you for this great theme, it looks great! I do wanted to point out two things I find a little annoying.

- The grey buttons on the lock screen look a little washed out/blurry, this is ugly. Also, because there the color doesn't change it is hard to see straight away if the phone's on silent or not.

- The light grey numeric numbers on the GB keyboard look blurry, this goes for both the llittle numeric keys above the letters in the top line of the text keyboard as well as the actual numeric keyboard that pops up when you need to punch in a pin code.

Thanks for your continued effort!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tonysac:
I managed to solve the dialer problems I had and now theme is fully working for me!

The futured "Animated transitions" cwm I see in the first post is for a flashable zip which gives animations on this theme or am I dreaming?

Tomorrows update is on schedule and will be spread out through the day.
