Hi there, after we've got root, we can finally customize our devices!
I've started creating a new (or better to say, editting default) theme. I'm not going to create a fully custom shiny theme with custom widgets design and so on. I just want to get rid of that ugly SE clinic-blue.
I don't have much free time, but i'm going to keep moving to the end )
Now it's about 40-50% ready. There are still a lot of blue, but it's usable. You can try it (as always, at your own risk )) ).
Just put the framework-res.apk into /system/framework/
P.S. I had to recover my device after i've putted framework-res.apk on it for the first time. I think, permissions must be changed to 755 before rebooting. After recover I always change permissions and have no problems )
(one more time: root is needed).

Theme updated. I have mixed it with this one:

Some less blue:
Phone.apk - Incomming call slider, mobile internet on/off icon
DownloadProvider.apk - Download icon
Blue Level = min )))
It's looking pretty nice man, although I'm not confident enough to install it
great job dude goodluck
Yes !
Keep on dude, you'll be the first one to make us a mini framework and so stay in our hearts...forever ;-)
Thx
I'm waiting for it! This blue makes me crazy.. (;
yay, gonna use it when it's 100% finished !
Yay, the blue theme it comes with is disgusting. It'd be even more awesome if you could make it look like the default android theme
Good work mate, well done! Its good to see some people are starting to get somewhere with these phones.
Thats a great improvement, but what about rest of icons ?
I'm sure many others will pickup this idea and make new themes, why not share info on what is where and how you've done this?
Thanks mate!
P.S. I really like new status bar icons, but background should be black like on SENSE-enabled
Could you port this theme please :

Yeah telling us how you're making the theme would be great, or even a link to where you learnt how to make themes.

Is it possibile to have an .apk "grey theme" file with blu original color as background of notification bar? (only this).
So, I like grey, but in this upper bar I think blu is better
Thanks!
PS: great the battery icons that change its colors depending of battery status
Hi dopeless, have you finish this grey theme. I love this grey theme but could you use the icon set with transparent background. It's must be more beautiful with transparent background icons.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, guys, I was really busy all this time.
Now I have mixed my theme with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759320
It seems to be ok now. There is minimum of blue, but it comes not from framework-res file. I'll try to fix it later.

Ignore me, I've done it!

Awesome
But I'm personally a red-colored guy, and this orange theme is closest to red, so I think I might like this. I'm not nearly dedicated enough to make it myself, this should be pretty good though I'll report back after I flash it, probably tomorrow. Still at school now

Reverts are just useful, has nothing to do with disliking the theme.
This is a great theme. Very nice shade of orange.
-I really like the pull down notification bar: perfect tinting and crisply colored icons.
-The circle on the pulldown looks a little pixelated. I'm a big fan of CM7's "Basic Orange" pulldown with 3 crisp lines.
https://lh5.ggpht.com/Y20P9I2aLyRD_QXfFodFg1QJe9ofgScfpkkRN_-Ykxs7zT4OZ8nbgUlG-1uyZ9R1zw=h230
-There might be a little too much orange on the top status bar: I like orange icons, but the time and the date should just remain a light grey.
- The Wifi icon also has a pixelated look to it when it's not at full signal-- it makes it look a little cartoony, as if it's bold or something.
- menu button pop up on the main screen has a very nice crisp orange line along the top. This is really slick. I like it.
-Themed settings icons are very nice
-Orange 'g' on the google search bar looks a little goofy. I'd leave this unthemed. Although it's a moot point with the updated search bar...
-The one thing I really don't like is that the settings sections of many apps have buttons that are turned completely orange and this rarely looks good. Even the orange checkboxes look bad more often than good in this fashion. I recommend turning this off unless people really like it. A good orange theme can be nuanced.
This orange theme is one of the best considering it doesn't try to go nuts turning all the app icons orange.
Thanks for the feedback. This is helping me alot for the next release. It is ALOT better than the older versions and is way more discrete. I hope to have it out by sometime tomorrow.

Update fixed the overly orange boxes and checkboxes within apps.
However, there are two things I miss:
1. the crisp orange outline of the menu screen when on the homepage and pressing menu (using ADW or launcherpro).
2. Also the orange wifi and signal bars, bluetooth icon. The orange was good here but it just looked cartoony at some points but great when full bars. Can you add these back?
The new notification pulldown handle with orange rectangle is better than the pixelated circle, but what do you think about doing 3 crisp glowing lines like basic orange?
Or what about a glowing rectangle outline-- that might be pretty cool. Let me know what you think.

It seems like such a simple thing...it can be done system-wide by editing the framework file, but it seems like using the CM Theme Engine would be much nicer.
Is there any such theme, which is just Holo Light (or Holo Light with Dark Action Bar)?
I second that request. I have a feeling Key Lime Pie will put a huge emphasis on Holo Light and I want to be a part of that.

How do you do this on a system wide level by editing the framework file? I tested a couple of CM holo light themes but they dont work to well on the S4 due to the screen resolution I think but I would really like to enable it...

There's a thread on XDA about it (I think in this forum, or in the SW Development forum), but the answer is effectively changing "theme=holo" to "theme=holo.light" in one of the framework XML files. Since Holo, Holo Light, and Holo Light with Dark Action Bar are in-built Android themes, this change lets all OS rendered screens (preferences, etc.) change theme. It doesn't affect applications (since that's an application preference setting for Holo based applications), but it's a pretty elegant solution nonetheless.

I tried the first one, but the notifications and the tiles in the quick settings panel are dark and it looks very inconsistent.
The theme engine will. Other be able to make a complete light theme as it is limited in what it can do.

So I see that the icons are not fitting entirelly. This is related to screen DPI you have. Your ROM - is is a stock one or some custom ROM from this forum? I never used stock ROMs, reflashed to custom one almost immediately. Most custom ROMs have setting for screen DPI, not sure if that's true for stock ROMs. I'd suggest you to play with the DPI, just raising it for a minor value should help.
But what do you mean when you say "the background is completely black"? On your photos, the background looks like it should.
The ROM is here on the forum.
Thanks a lot for your help. I will try it with changing the DPI.
With the black background that was my mistake.
EDIT:
I've changed the build.prop
ro.sf.lcd_density=240 --> 225
Now it looks good. Thanks a lot for your help.

You wrote that you had DPI set to 240 - this is normal setting for the 1024x600 screens as far as I know.
For 800x480 it should be something like 160 or 180, don't remember exactly.
Anyways, it's just for your information, and it is up to you to choose what is better for you.
Okay thanks
I installed this in my RK3188 1024x600 unit and while I get the cool new volume bar when I use the volume slider from the notification panel, it doesn't display when I use my volume knob. Any ideas?

can you make an option to move the volume bar from the bottom to the middle? I have the one knob unit on the left and when you turn the volume rocker your hand blocks the first 30% of it.

Maybe check to make sure you don't have anything conflicting installed, I mean any modding Xposed plugins.

I don't like an idea of adding options screen for such a simple plugin.
I'll think, maybe I better compile a separate version centered vertically, it seems to be simpler a lot.

Unfortunately, no. All the graphics in this mod are the PNG images. To become green, they need to be redrawn and replaced in resources.
I'm afraid I don't have any motivation to do that, you need to understand: this was only a simple mod for myself, that I decided to share.
Also, the white is the color that fits any color scheme, this way it will satisfy the most audience (unlike green, red or whatever else)
For instance, I have a Volkswagen with all the buttons and gauges on the dashboard highlighted in red.
Still, I didn't choose this bar to be red, because white is good enough. But green would be a total crap for me.
By the way: in the xposed repository, there is a link to my github with all the source code of this mod. Anybody may feel free to fork it and make any changes they want.

In the Xposed repository, there is a link to full source code of that mod (Github). It is free source, everyone can fork it and do whatever he want.
You can install the Android Studio and compile these sources in it.
Or, you may take an approach with the software like APKTool which allows you to unpack APK files, change resources and repack it back.
Anyway, you'll need to learn how to do either, on your own.
Sharing my little work, I didn't take any responsibility as to provide any further support or even teaching people programming At least, I don't have time for that.
Those little tips are worth it . I.m going to work at this. Learning is a process
Credit goes to @xpirt for his idea!

Well i have one theme working on thr G6 right now and I have a thread open in the themes and apps section for support and feedback.
Now this is slightly tricky because there are some obstacles I am facing with porting some of these over. I cannot port over them all due to some extreme ui differences in a few apps. The main issue (but not the only one ) is because with the G6 there are a few apps where the text is hard coded white and thr same apps the trxt is hard coded black. So in short one device will get screwed with either dark text on a dark background or white text on a light background which creates readability issues. I most certainly cannot have that happen. And also the G6 has a lot of different elements that can be themed. So if i were to add those to an exisiting v20 theme it will cause the v20 to no longer work because it's telling the theme engine to theme xxx icon or xxx color which isn't supported. Thus the theme doesn't function. So that's an issue.
So what the plan is, is to port over a few themes that I can get it to function properly on both devices and the ones that can't will have to be a new theme.
Off the top of my head the ones that can expect to work on all devices are: Dark Nougat (already updated and live), Flow, Indigo flow and crush.
Remix, Vector, Dark Material, Dark AOSP, Pixel Ui are not going to work and will have to be new themes that will only work with the G6.
I'm not sure about Dark Ui theme yet. It may or may not work.
