[VRT][THEME/MOD] Advance Galaxy V5a [I9070/I9070P][10/05/2013] - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps

Hello community!
--------------------Intro:
This is a theme/mod that aims to make your smartphone look a little more like Samsung's new design currently existing in Samsung Galaxy S4. Most of the icons and colors have been ported from Samsung Galaxy S4 firmware.
It's name is "Advance Galaxy" because, "Advance" means moving forward, so, with this design we are moving forward towards the next "Galaxy" design from Samsung.
That's it, I hope you like it!
Please read the "Notes" section at the end of this post.
For those of you people who are lazy enough to ready the notes, I'm writing it here. [VRT] files will work on every firmware on both devices, I9070/I9070p. Look for the [VRT] in front of files or lists of files.
Check the second post for file compatibility on different firmwares.

--------------------Uninstall:
There is no simple way to do this. Since the mod is Universal and it is going to be installed on different firmwares I can't provide a single file to uninstall this.
The easier way to do this is by flashing your firmware over again via Odin. This way the whole Theme/Mod is going to disappear.
Another way is to go to your external or internal storage, and find a folder called "vrtheme-backup". Open it and find a "system" folder, copy and paste it in your root directory, make sure you press "Merge Folder" NOT "Overwrite", the reboot. This way you will have back your stock Settings, Phone, Framework, Camera and SystemUI. The themed Sounds, Wallpaper Chooser and Digital Clock will stay in your ROM.
Another way to do it, is by flashing the deodexed system for your firmware again. This way you will have everything back to stock, except Sounds.
--------------------Notes:
If you find an icon or text that looks bad, pixelized, barely visible or not visible at all, please post a screenshot. It will help me fix the error and make my mod better.
I'm always trying to make this post better and easily readable. If you have any suggestion, let me know. :good:
"[VRT]" stands for "VillainROM Theme", if you see that [VRT] in front of a file here, it means that this file is going to work properly on every Samsung's Jelly Bean firmware or ROM based on it!(That means NOT for AOSP/CyanogenMOD/Paranoid Android/AOKP/MIUI e.t.c.)

I guess you are looking for Solid Explorer. It's the most beautiful out there, in my opinion, and with many, many features.

Hmmm, i can make one version with stock grey icons i guess. But the status bar background will either be the Samsung Grey or Samsung Grey 50%, otherwise it will look ugly with. Choose one.

No it does not, if it's what I think. And that's why I created those different versions. Because some apps have white backgrounds and the status bar icons are white too, so they are not visible and/or they look bad. In newest phones such as HTC One and Galaxy S4, the status bar background is fully transparent while on Launcher and they turn black or grey when you are in an application. I don't know if that is possible to do it on my own.
The light blue versions are actually gradients. It's #ff3a4d5a on bottom edge and turns into #ff526573 towards to top edge. It keeps it beautiful by giving it some style. By the way, here is the gradient file, you can load it in Photoshop. I'm not sure about GIMP, you can try. http://d-h.st/938
The colour codes above have not any transparency, if you apply one of those colour codes you will get a full opaque result. The 50% transparent ones are here: Bottom #7f3a4d5a Top #7f526573

I was talking about this one... doesn't really look like a gradient...

Yeah I know what you mean. It was just the default Samsung Light Blue(which is gradient), but 50% transparent. I use image for the status bar background, not color codes. You can find how to do it on joehanh88's tutorial.
