Handcent SMS has a similar theme if I believe correctly. Maybe you can give it a try.

Tried it, but it's more iPhone style and it's ****ty because the text box is brown??? Though I didn't download any themes, none seemed to look that good.
I'm using Handcent right now btw

How about Go SMS Pro? It has a Theme Maker plugin too.

The Textbox color is white in their screenshots in Play Store. Maybe it have an option to change the text box color but I'm not sure though, as I haven't used that app much. But there is an option to change colors, maybe you have to tinker with it more.

Replacing Icons ?

Hello all,
I am running Check Rom V6 right now. I have 5 icons, dialer, contacts, messaging, home, and apps. I was wondering if someone could guide me on how to use these icons. They are all in a .png format. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

What launcher are you using? Most allow you to replace icons with ones of your choosing, you'll just have to put them on your sdcard.
If you're wanting to theme icons at the system level, or your launcher doesn't allow you to select a custom icon, then you'll have to modify apks.

Send me the icons and I'll make a flashable .zip for you that will change them, hassle free ( plus a recovery one so you can revert them if you don't like them ).
It's 2 minutes of work
Edit : I figure you want to change them while using Touchwiz, because replacement launchers do it easily anyway
Thank You Sir!!!!
I have uploaded the contacts messaing apps and all icons i dont need the dialer as it is stock look in the newest 2.3.6 builds

Ok , I'm onto it now
Edit : K, it's done

CWM -> Install update from sdcard ( don't worry about "enter the Vertumus world" text, I just edited Vert's zip a bit )
tested on my phone and works like a charm
Now I just need to wait till my CheckROM v6 finishes downloading so I can make a restore zip for you.
I'm not sure what the default icons are in new version and I need it anyway
Check this post later on. Post a screenshot when you flash it
Sir dont worry about the the restore packages i have a backup. I will post a screen shot thank you soo much though

Not strictly true - although it is an app drawer replacement.
Can change icons and names with this, my favourite ever app ever of all time ever.
As I've posted before, if there's an easier way to edit icons/text and retain functionality, I have yet to find it.
Especially because I couldn't modify an apk if my life was at stake...

Actually, the easiest way is using vrtheme, no need to modify apks or use anything else than the Touchwiz launcher itself

Thanks, I'll take your word for it. But I don't use TW launcher, and the app I refer to gives me a list view - a dealbreaker for me, was looking for a listview forever and a day, and I'll never go back

Mate are you serious ?
You have the list view in touchwiz too
Open appdrawer -> options button ( the one to the left of the home button ) -> List View...
I just hope you were joking

Not joking, sorry. Haven't used nor installed TW launcher for about 7 months.
Live and learn - glad to be corrected, and not worried about my ignorance being on public display. Can hardly backtrack now can I?
Can you edit icons and app names there too?

Nah, Touchwiz basically sucks for everything I checked out that alternate app drawer app, it looks cool, pretty customizable I'm sure MIUI users adore it XD

[Q] Hills Theme

Hi there,
New to Themer, and liking the idea so far.
I have downloaded the theme Hills (screenshot attached). Love it because it's very simple.
To make it even more simple, I have removed the background, and am loving the idea of a simple lack screen with clean look.
I am hoping to be able to ask the developer to create another version similar to my other screenshot. It would be really handy to have unread email, text and calls, maybe in a neat box just like the time, or better still just a small black and white icon, that a number gets superimposed on, a bit like the stock samsung S2 can do.
Also, would love to have another three, customizable, icons on the seconds apps home screen. I like having an icon on homescreen to turn on a flashlight etc
If anyone can get me in touch with developer, or tell me how to modify this theme the way i'd like, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Steve
Hi
You can make the change by yourself. Thats one of the best parts of Themer.
Is it a app or what? Meaning themer?

We recommend trying out the widget - Everything Widget. It's very easy to use and you can always export your theme (via the advanced settings) if you want to keep it for later

I have a similar problem. I created another screen and i want to replicate the app drawer icon on the bottom but I can't find where the picture of the icon is saved to. Is there any way to access the icon pic?

You must use the download as if you just save the PIC you can see it will lose its transparency

Stock sms themes

Is it possible to get different themes in the stock sms app? I'm rooted with xposed module and tweaksbox. I actually like the stock app, function wise, but lord it's ugly as sin.
There's no themes, but in tweakbox you can change the color scheme.

I don't see the option to change the color scheme of the messaging app. I know devs can now include it in their themes, but to my knowledge none have so far.
Edit.. I stand corrected, my apologies.
It's not the stock one, but Chomp SMS allows for all sorts of customization.

Unless i am doing something wrong, the only thing you can change is the top bar color. I'd really like to black out the whole apk, if possible.

I use the verizon Message+ and you can change the color of almost everything.
I made mine dark/holo colors and I'm actually perfectly happy with a verizon app which is weird, but works and looks great

I'm having issues with the VZW apk; everytime i enable it as the primary, it starts downloading ALL of my past text messages. I had to put it in airplane mode to kill off the 30 conversations that i THOUGHT i had deleted that it was busy recovering.
any idea on HOW to turn that function off? I don't normally save text messages, so don't want it saying i have 300+ new messages and going thru all of them.
thanks,

Try QKSMS from the Play Store. Fairly new app but plenty of theme customizations without straying too far from the stock SMS feel. I was hooked immediately! Just what I'd been looking for in a messaging app for a long time.

Anyone found a really good black theme compatible with EMUI 9?

You mean change the icons? There are pixel/aosp themes just Google them... Also dark themes available... Emui8 themes work just fine with emui9. Also you can edit those icons with the EMUI theme editor from the play store

Looking forward to your themes, mark. The LG themes, especially the G7 ones, were amazing.
Basically the whole phone go "dark" after we enabled dark mode in battery settings.
And yes, including the toggles.
However, for messaging app. You will need to switch it to dark mode manually in the top right setting icon.
Don't think we will need a dark theme for this one.
Tried the dark mode. However, anyone still getting a white 'light' navigation bar even when using dark mode? Especially when using apps, etc.
Yup, just waiting for a decent dark theme like everyone else.
I wake in the early hours, so need a theme that doesn't burn my retinas.

Yes its quite annoying. However there is a free app called Navbar Apps that can fix that although not ideal.

Tried Navbar Apps. However, I'm guessing the task manager keeps killing the app.
Did realise for some apps, after an update, the task bar stays dark. So it might be individual apps having to update.

Is anyone currently using a theme besides the in house dark mode right now? Specifically not one that just does icons. Before I start tinkering I wouldn't mind trying something out to tide me over. And I guess I want to get confirmation that themes even work and that Huawei didn't block them or something ridiculous.
Themes do work and Theme Editor for EMUI works, too, kind off, doesn't support EMUI 9 yet, you have to make do with 8.
I'm just using Theme Editor for Icons and Fonts and KLWP to get my Homescreen to look like I want it.

Hmmm I hadn't been able to get any full themes to work at all. But I'm thinking maybe it's because I had a crappy themes app installed by default. Once I installed app gallery it updated the themes app and it has way more options now. That might be why. But the ones I tried last night from Google Play prior to this only changed the icons. They were for emui8 which I understand likely won't work in everything but none of them did anything. May have to try again with new themes app
Ok so for fun I did try a couple emui 8 themes and it looks we can theme everything. Mind you none of them worked well. So I'm hoping to start making something. But first I gotta figure out why I can't decompile any system apps. Everything errors out so that's a bit of an issue

Does anyone know how to change the accent color from Orange?

Is it possible to pick a new color other than the default orange? I probably want a blue or something, but I don't really want to mess with framework apks. Is this yet possible? I did check the asus theme app but I did not see an option for that.
Yeah. Use the themes app, go to my themes, and then find the create button. If you can't find it I'll reply with more info
Put a blue picture as background and make the theme, change your wallpaper back after.

thanks I found the create button under my creations. I can now change the colour settings and icon shape, wallpaper, etc. I'm just playing around with it now. I think I can get it the way I like from here on my own. thanks again man!
EDIT: Actually, it looks better now, but it kicked me out of dark mode in settings and such. I actually prefer it this way, but its also interesting. I wonder if any of the mods I tried initially may not have worked because of the default theme's dark mode. hmmm...
I wanted to make my status bar always black with white icons. used to work on my old phone, but it was old. so yea doesn't work
