N7105/N7100 Version! Seems like there was a few variations in the Int'l versions of these apk's as opposed to the US T-Mobile versions, so I extracted them from one of your Int'l ROMs here on this forum and decompiled and used those as a base for another version I compiled from them. This version will hopefully work for you guys!
Hey everyone! I've LONG hated the horrible brown colors that Samsung chose for the Snote app, QuickNote (popup note), and Calendar app. They clash miserably with everything and are really just unattractive to use, IMHO. To that end, I decided to dive into theming these mutha's! I've put mucho hours into trial and error and working the kinks out and am pretty much happy with them as they are now. That being said, I very well may still tinker with them or certainly try to fix anything that I may have missed...hence v1.0 :silly:
UPDATED v2.0: Change log is below, but essentially, I've added in the Calendar Widget (SPlannerAppWidget), and the VRTheme script will also now automatically make a FLASHABLE backup of your EXISTING version of all themed apk's in the /sdcard/vrthemeundo directory. Thanks to Dwitherell for that, and Alexia for showing me how to track down compilation errors and fix them!
I've opted for a pretty basic greyscale base and threw just dabs of color in here and there, but nothing overdone, still 90+% greyscale. For what its worth, VRtheme technique is used with these so you must have the apk's already installed, as it will not install them for you.
Special Thanks:
Alexia- General theming instruction and for teaching me VRtheme technique.
Dwitherell- General theming advice and kick-ass ROM.

3.if u mean by calendar (the s planner app) nothing changed

Hmm...I just backed up and reflashed a 4.1.2 based ROM (Tweaked v2.3) and it worked perfectly. As this just uses VRTheming approach to theming a handful of apk's I didn't foresee any issues on GN2's. Maybe double check your MD5 and try again? Dunno what else to suggest. I guess there could be issues with Simplistic framework, I don't know squat about that though....sorry it didn't turn out better for you though
cool!
and imo, the newest quick note looks better then this old version, but without the keyboard button 'T'. have to mod it to have the button back
edit: btw, snote has quite a lot of different versions, try to make sure the lib files are correct or else causes FCs. good luck

sorry, didnt read he uses vr theming. in this case, there should be no lib files affected, right OP?
Yes, VRTheme is the approach I took. It doesn't touch any libs, and it backs up you originals in a folder on the root of your sdcard. This uses the version that came from my T-Mobile GN2, like I mentioned at the bottom of the OP. I obviously have no idea about compatibility with other versions out there, but since this only touches a handful of apk's, thought it might work for others and would be worth trying to share on other GN2 threads. That being said... Has anyone had any luck with it working on these versions of the GN2,or is everyone experiencing similar issues? If everyone is experiencing the problem, I can look into maybe whipping up a version that users your specific version of the these apk's. Would just need someone to zip then up and upload somewhere for me to get my hands on. The 4 I themed are :IdeaSketch, QuickNote, SecCalendar_NAmerica_SPen, and SnoteT0. Just need your version of those 4 apk's and I'll see what I can do for you guys

OK gang...I've uploaded a new version that I compiled from apk's I extracted from one of the ROMs here on your forum. There seemed to be a small difference here and there between my original efforts on the T-Mobile (US) variants, and what you guys likely have installed. That being said...I decompiled your versions, and used those as a base...modded them, recompiled and prepared another VRTheme flashable zip that should work better for you guys.
Of course I don't have a N7100/N7500 so I can not test these, but the VRTheme script will make backups of all modified apks in a folder on the root of your internal sdcard. So should things still not quite be right, you can restore your previous versions just by copying them from the backup folder to system/app, overwrite whats there, and fix permissions if necessary. Reboot to recovery, wipe caches/Dalvik and reboot system and you should be back to what you had before attempting this themed version.
I would appreciate it if someone would drop a quick reply in here and let me know how this one goes.
Tx, and hope you enjoy!
Great news bro
Its working (without simplistic framework)
I will check it later with the simplistic framework
1.s note Icon changed to grey (no lags , no FC )
2.inside the s note almost everything is grey
3.the quick note is grey too
4.the calendar (s planner app) is grey from inside
5.the s planner icon is the original one
6.all functions work well with no lag or in another way (there is no bad things you dont want to see during using it)

Good to hear!! Tx for testing this out, and I'm sorry for the earlier trouble with the first attempt. As this just touches those 4 apk's, it really shouldn't be affected by simplistic framework, but feel free to test it if you want...certainly no harm in making absolutely sure
Looks like I'll have to do the same thing for the US Verizon gang too. T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T all seem to use the same apk's, or at least similar enough that the VRTheme works on them so far at least.
Does this wortk for Odex ROM's?

I don't know, I lack any way to test. But it does back up the 4 apk's that it Themes, so if you run into trouble, you can restore the files.

you're right I've just tested it with simplistic framework 3.6 and its working well with no problems or lags & FCs:good:
so the final result is :
1>its completely compatible with any N7100 (international version) stock rom :laugh:
2>deodexed & odexed rom friendly
3>its working with & without simplistic framework :highfive:
4>no lag , no FCs , no touchwiz problems . :victory:
I will upload some screenshots later
by the way...GREY FTW
Pervect work :thumbup: looks very nice on Omega V17 with Simplistic 3.6 .
No FC s or other problems!

That's not a widget. That's the Popup Note application. That will run automatically when you pull out your SPen, if you enable it in the SPen section under settings.

Not sure if this is a bug, the Splanner app icon is still stock and the splanner widget (4x4) is still brown?

This is his hard work, and it's very good looking, I'm just trying to help minimize the zip size and get it moved to an apk for Tmobiles Theme Chooser
this is a good start in the right direction, dueces
Awesome, thanks!
*sigh* - DON'T
Seriously, guys... The themeing engine was added to CM7 precisely to avoid this kind of messing up with the ROM, so *don't* do this. Themes can now be built and distributed as APKs, you can even market the damned things...
This comes from an installable APK, for example:
xttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/10355648/mau5-land.png
Check the vendor/tmobile/themes/Cyanbread and Androidian stuff for examples.
Awesome I love it thanks
So this is a .apk or theme? Could you explain a bit more why you say this is a bad idea?

Had some issues, working now on #15. I edited the link in post #1 for the working full colorized build #14
I dig this, but am not keen on flashing something on top of nightlies that could jack with the ROM that's already a WIP.
Once you convert to a theme I'll definitely give it a whirl (not much liking the current 3 themes, but love the functionality & options it will bring).

It's a theme, installed as an APK. Messing up with ROMs to change layout has always been a problem, it's _very_ easy to mess up something, especially when those changes are done by simply repacking the resources (unzip, replace, re-zip). It's a fairly frequent source of support problems for developers, and it's just an ugly way of themeing a phone.
CM7 includes a themeing engine developed by T-Mobile, and the main reason for it is to prevent these problems (and it is _very_ powerful, allows you to change almost anything from layout to animations, not just graphics). If you're running a recent build of CM7 (or any of the many CM kangs) , open the "Theme Chooser" application and choose one of the 2 samples: they are a very small example of what can be done. Note that even the window transitions are changed. Then search the market for "greybeard", and have fun installing your first market theme

well, no, its not a theme yet
its actually a kanged version of cm7
THE ONLY THINGS THAT ARE CHANGED ARE:
images in framework, SystemUI, Settings, Bluetooth, Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Contacts, Deskclock, Email, FM, MMS, Music and Phone
no layouts or xml files are changed, only images
the images changed have the exact same names, they have only been colorized so that the menu icons and notification bar icons that were grey/black and white before are now colored...some others that were colored before (like battery for instance) were changed to blue or some other design that i preferred (i personally cant stand the signal bars/wifi indicators in gingerbread)
this was originally just something i was doing for myself for a few months starting in july, 2010, but after i finally shared it in october over at cmforum, it took off as people liked it
there is nothing else changed in the ROM itself, so flashing this overtop of your current version of cm7.*** doesnt "break" anything else
so really its as simple as having both versions available on sdcard and flashing one or the other
honestly, its much to do about nothing, its just a different look
if someone can tell me how to "theme" the framework, and all those apk's listed above without doing it this way, i'd be glad to do it, it would save me alot of work, but i like doing it anyway

I was going to wait until I was completely finished to release this but it seems a red theme is in high demand and with ICS leaks starting I didn't know how long until it would be outdated.
This is my first released theme for android so go easy on me. Another reason I'm posting this is to get some feedback from the community as to what they are looking for in a theme. I realize there are some things that could use polishing so let me know what you think. I'm open to feedback so long as it's constructive!
Disclaimer:
Flash at your own risk, You are the only one responsible for your phone.
I'm sure everyone knows the deal by now.
Install Directions:
1) Download latest version of Redzound-v0.x-Ineffabilis.zip
2) Boot into recovery
3) Make a nandroid backup just in case.
4) Wipe Cache
5) Install Redzound-v0.x-Ineffabilis.zip
6) Reboot and Enjoy!
(for some having issues with statusbar foreclosing boot into recovery and fix permissions)

Mail
Browser
Music
Contacts
Settings
MMS
Dialer
Camera
Flashlight
BootAnimation
ICS window animations
Roboto Font
Animated Notifications - (Turn off by setting notifications to transparent in mik settings )
Clock is not themed it is Beautiful Widgets "brackated_Red" skin
Rosie and a lot of other HTC things are not able to be themed at the moment. (to my knowledge anyways)
Bugs:
I have not come across any major flaws or bugs. But then again I don't use everything on the phone so please post with as much detail as possible of the location of bad icons and text strings if you find any.
To Do List:
Version v1.0 will more than likely be the final update.
As for porting this to ICS.... I"m going to wait until there is a official ICS release or as close to official as the devs can get
plus I need a little break this theme has consumed a lot of my time lately!!!!!
Download in 2nd post
I do have 2 small requests for anyone reading this or downloading this theme.
1) If you want to use or port this theme as your own ask me first. I spent a lot of time editing these images and want to know where it's going and that proper credit is given.
2) I recently realized the lack of real feedback in the android community. I see tons of mods and themes with over 1,000's of downloads and only 10 people where able to take the second to hit the thanks button. Also multiple apps on the market with millions of downloads and only 10,000 comments that's a pretty low percentage!! I hate to sound demanding but come on people!!!! It only takes seconds to do this and it's gives us themers, modders, and hackers something to go off of and keep doing what we do.
Lastly I wanted to give thanks to all the members of the various Android forums that wrote guides for people like me to learn stuff like this. With out the community I would not be able to do the things I'm learning to do. And also a quick thanks to UOT kitchen for the battery icons and the animated background. I hate making those crazy xmls lol.

This is not a complete theme. You must flash the full theme first then this will remove the cubed animation in the notifications.
It also fixes the time stamp on notifications.

WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR GREAT JOB!
The Live picture on the notification is my
Favorite part.. i hope u keep working on this
cus your doin a GREAT job..it would be great
if more icon were themed too like market,people,
music, internet and ect. but i know its a work in progress
so im pretty sure you will but looks great..
I should be able to get a good update or 2 before ICS becomes stable. I was having some issues with the market but I think I have it figured out. I'll include more app icons in the next version too forgot about those. Thanks for the feedback!

I haven't looked at the ICS framework so I hope they didn't mocve too much around or it may take some figuring out. More than likely I'll port theme to an isc build.

Warning. Possible n00b question ahead (first smartphone so first time geeking out over my phone)...
Do you need root for this? I just grabbed a skin but it was an app I downloaded from the market. I've installed apps using adb before but based on the instructions it sounds like root is required.
I will be rooting but am studying up on Android OS and flashing ROMs/kernels before I do.
Also, once this is flashed, is it added to the skin/theme options on the phone so that it can be selected and deselected (blasphemy I know)? And is it all or nothing or can certain elements be changed, such as wallpaper or something like that.

Wait, you're a noob? You seem so seasoned in all your posts!
To answer your questions... yes you need to be rooted to flash this. This will not be a skin as it is a theme that you have to flash from recovery. It will not be added anywhere like the HTC skins. This will simply be applied to your phone. That means that you can continue to use that skin if you want to in order to add a little more to it. I'll be running this in a second and using one of the skins that was just released recently. And most of this should be all or nothing, in a sense. You will still be able to change things just like you could with the stock theme. Meaning that you will be able to change the wallpaper and stuff.
EDIT: You also need to realize that this is a theme for Ineffabilis. That means that you need to be running that ROM to use this theme. If you try to flash this theme on top of a different ROM or the stock ROM, you could have serious issues. Still can't get over that you're a noob haha
EDIT 2: You also don't need to use adb for this. You can just download it, put it on your sd card, boot into recovery, wipe your cache and dalvik, then select flash zip menu. You can then select it off your sd card. Much easier than doing it through adb, imo.
EDIT 3: Seriously, you're a noob????? Like, I hope you don't take this as an insult, but I just can't get over it. I consider you one of the select few who know what you're doing! I'm impressed

Yup, total n00b. Except that I've been reading almost every post in the Rezound forums studying up on what I need to know about the phone and rooting/flashing etc. I have to get my geek fix here cuz my girlfriends just wanna talk about pregnancy, adoption, etc...
Yeah, I plan on flashing Ineffabilis ROM and I think dsb kernel, or maybe Ziggy's.
Thanks for the help and the compliment!

Haha, no problem. I am thoroughly impressed. If only more would read everything before posting I would definitely recommend Ineffabilis, though it will be dead soon. It is the best ROM right now, imo, but there will be better to come with the ICS leak out. I would suggest using that ROM for now, though. I like Ziggy's kernel, too, but others have had their issues with it. I've been running it since I rooted and haven't had an issue yet. (Well, it does bootloop when I'm charging it and it hits a full charge). But it's pretty stable for me. I'm flashing this theme right now, but I'll be using the Red Beats Skin on top of it.
Edit: This is to the OP... I didn't want to flash this because I thought it kind of looked meh in the pictures. Just flashed it and holy crap it's gorgeous! Big props and hope you keep adding themes for all the ICS ROMs.
Thanks wasabi! I'll try and to add some better screenshots tomorrow.

Yeah, the only thing I was still unsure of after flashing it was the font. I read too much on my phone and it was starting to bother me. I just installed the Roboto font, though, and I love it again You should make other colors like blue and green You know, if you have time haha
I was hoping someone had or could make a set of ATT status bar icons in cyan (Alarm, BT, wireless, mobile. battery, airplane, sim,etc) with vilan theme system so it will not overwrite System UI. I'd be willing to donate $10 to someone who would share the complete set with us. $20 if you could make a complete set where the Mobile data in/out animations worked properly on roms based off of international firmware. As far as i know the international just shows that there is data activity, not whether its in or out. In case you are confused here is the ATT in-out 4g LTE icons.

These are based on the latest TrickDroid (5.2.1) and ARHD (7.1) SystemUI.apks. It will display the following animated ATT icons for the networks listed:
G for GSM
E for Edge
4G for UMTS, HSDPA, DC, HSPA+
4GLTE for LTE
Note: if you chose any other systemUI modifications while installing your ROM (batteries, etc), this will overwrite them. The first is just systemui modified to display the ATT animated data icons, rather than the boring H icons, etc. The second is the same, but the icons are cyan. I also, on top of the mobile data icons, made a bunch more of the notification icons cyan. Keep in mind that not all of the notification icons you see are in SystemUI.apk...so a complete cyan set would require changing a bunch of individual .apk's notification icons. It is possible that I missed an icon...just let me know if this is the case

Thanks man i appreciate it. Here's a $20 Unique Transaction ID #9V095629X11681330.
What about making this using vilian themeing (vrtheme) system so we wont lose our battery mods and centered clocks or anything else system ui related.. That way itll work with all of mikes releases..or torxx and many others. Any downside? isnt vrtheme theme the future? Thanks again!
Can't tell you how appreciated that is!
I've honestly never looked into this vrtheme you speak of.. lol I'll check it out this week and see what I can do.. I assume it's an on the fly mod kinda thing where it disassembles/reassembles the current apk with mods that are selected using an aroma installer? Im sure I could throw that together. Since I'm feeling lazy..and getting kids ready for bed..could you shoot me a link to a thread/forum with info?

You're welcome/. Vrtheme just inserts the changed files into an apk. http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/threads/about-villaintheme-system.4971/
I'm pretty sure this will make your life easier.!
A few Features:
Will modify APKs in a ROM, without changing signatures, and can be used on any ROM where the filenames of themed files is the same.
Should not need updated between versions of a ROM
Zipaligns all APKs before installation
Stores a backup of all files being modified in /cache/vrtheme-backup/
Requires no coding abilities or editing of files - just drag and drop
Can copy "raw" files, though at risk of not working on other devices (well, let's face it, it won't work on likely a slightly different ROM, so this feature is not recommended or encouraged)
Cool I'll look into it

What files were changed beside icons? Was there something changed to tell it to use the different up/down animations? If so could you tell me which files so i can try to learn this stuff? Thanks man!
I'm really familiar with it. I use another universal theme changer, but it works just as well (you can see the stuff i did for the nexus 4) so I can do it, but I don't even have the device yet. I'll see what i can do today to make a universal flasher. That is what you want right? I just want to get it right before i do something
EDIT: I made it but I need someone to test it. OP?
Will these work if I'm just rooted on the stock rom. I have not flashed any roms. Just rooted on stock.

you shouldn't need it as it already has the icons that are being added. are you just looking for the cyan icons?
Edit: or do you have an international device? if you do and you're on the same base as arhd/trickdroid then yes - use the arhd one as i saw he said his systemui was stock
@OP: I tried it on my Nexus 4 (not flashing it but just seeing if zipthemer recognized it and it didn't. I realized that macs create some stupid folder when zipping files so I'll have to do it on a PC. It will probably take a little longer to get the link to you.

I want the cyan icons. I'm using a rooted stock at&t htc one.
Here is what i've done. Tell me if it works. The instructions seem complicated, but if you're used zipthemer before, its easy.
This is universal...can be used on any rom as long as you're rooted.
(I took this from my other thread)
1. Download ZipThemer - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ipthemer&hl=en
2. Update edify - Menu>update edify>browse
3. Pick and flashable file that you have on your phone excluding mine
4. Click Configure
4. Tap "+Theme" and find the zip you downloaded
5. Then "Build It"
6. Reboot into recovery and flash the zip zipthemer created.
7. Enjoy!

(isn't that awesome...i got "/the"? )
The reason i used zipthemer instead of villain themer is because villain isn't compatible with TWRP and I like TWRP better than CWM

The Ultimate Real Icon Theme v5
Note, this is intended to be a Verizon Touch Wiz theme, any complaints from other carriers will be ignored.
It is finally here.... Thanks for waiting patiently.
The theme can work on most touchwiz roms. There are roms like Hyperdrive and Beans that have a lot of custom systemui that can end up breaking the system bar. The least mods you have, the better your chances of sucess.
The Aroma is still a little figidity. Sometimes you have to hit next a second time even after it has vibrated to indicate it was pressed
###Please Note, if your rom does not have a 1% Battery Mod, you can not install the % batteries because they won't be accurate. This is not the fault of the theme###

Thanks guys for all your hard work. I would also like to thank the Aroma Team and Villian Themers who make this possible. Without it, this wouldn't be a universal theme.
There is still tons to come so this is just for those that like to follow along.
Changelog:
v.03 - added about 50 new icons to Contacts (menus and tabs) and integrated my themed Google apps including the new Play Music.
v.04 - added MMS theming, systemui and framework-res theming.
v.05 - added theming for settings
v.06 - I updated gmail and google music but I have only themed the launchers on the new maps, its a bigger task than I have time for right now.
v1.0 - Pulled all files together and added Aroma Installer. Updated Play Store and Maps
v2.0 - fixed the 3d signal bars, i accidentally had the wide ones in place of the regular width.
V3.0 - Updated Google apps, Added eyes for Smart Stay. Everything works in ME7 except batteries, i will rename them soon.
v4.0 - Added 5 styles of dialers
v5.0 - Added new Play Music, Gmail, Google Voice. fixed aroma issue and updated aroma base. No double clicking needed now.
**notes on Google Apps. I moved them all to Data/App except the store. My script removes the old ones, well, i delete a large number of file names that I have seen them called in the past. But, if your current one is under a different file name that I don't delete, it won't show up. check in /data/app and system/app for two version of whichever one it is. If you delete the old one and reboot, it will come back.
***I do not provide Stock themes for you to go back, that's what Nandroid is for. So make a Nandroid and you wont have to fuss.***

Oh yeah!!... We're here!!
Awesome!!!
The bad thing is that you cant port this from the s3 or the note 2 because it has a bigger resolution, hence all bigger images. So unfortunately its starting from square one again, which is why there is so little done. And then again, it doesnt mean squat without the aroma installer working.

This is hardly our normal mass of work. Seeings we still don't have a working aroma, I decided that we would release all the status bar mods as individual installs (which you can find all over the s4 theme forums or just look in my beitel.us thread) and then start working on the core of the Real Icon Theme as a single install without choices (yet).
So far, all we have is most of phone apk themed, most of contacts apk themed and the Launcher apk themed. Of course you can always add the google apps theming from my other thread to give my theme a small amount of completeness.
There is still tons to come so this is just for those that like to follow along.

Actually, wth am I talking about. This should work for every I545VRUAMDK ROM but make a backup first and I'm waiting for a confirmation that it does work.
ALSO, if your dev made edits to the XMLS inside of SystemUI it could possible break those features. Such as transparent status bar and things along that line.
Every ones been warned!

Hi All,
Just a quick note to those that keep up with this thread, as you would have seen I haven't been very active of late.
Unfortunately, at this point in time I am too busy with "real life" to sink time into this project.
I am not abandoning this project, there are many things I have planned and am working on to extend and improve upon this theme. When time permits I will finish what I have started and release a new version.
In the meantime there are plenty of users that have used this theme for a while and can help you with any issues you may have.
If I haven't replied to your quote, mention or PM, I will endeavour to do so in the coming week.
Thanks.

S5 MMS & Settings
See further below for Download links, changelog and a list of ROM's All Backs Black has been reported working on.
I have added this thread here for those that don't venture into other Note 3 forums. Plus it will be easier to manage the enhanced ABB files.
Original thread here.
If you post in this thread please don't double post in other ABB threads.
Feast your eyes on All Backs Black for Note3 TW 4.4+ (Rooted) Odexed or Deodexed by the original creator @Kdio.
This is a tried and proven theme that has been implemented on both the S3 & S4. In saying that, this is not a port, this theme was made ground up by Kdio and myself for the Note3.
Some users install this theme for battery efficiency; I prefer to use it purely for aesthetics I find it more pleasing to the eye than the stock TouchWiz interface colours.
For those of you that prefer something simple and done right or would like a reported 20% more battery, this theme is probably for you.
Neither I nor the original creator of this theme are responsible for any damage you do to your device. Flash at your own risk.
A few words from the Man you should be grateful to if you decide to flash and use this theme.
Theme Creator Kdio said:
Objective:
As extensively researched by the community, the use of black backgrounds in OLED (AMOLED and Super AMOLED) devices may lead to a gain up to 20% more battery juice. As related information, you can find some maths here and this xda experiment.
If, as is mine, your main device concern is lifetime and not the looks, give this a try and share your experience. Mine has been fantastic!
What is themed:
- ClockPackage_OSup
- MultiWindowTrayService
- JobManager
- Keyguard
- MusicPlayerWT
- Popupcalculator

Thanks micmars.
You just reminded me I left some people out of the credits, thanks.
Wow, this theme is awesome, will this work on any other variant device ie, tmo note3? This is exactly the theme I would like to run. I will give it a try, should work, most of the file structure should be the same in both.....:fingers-crossed::good:
Very good work sir, looks real nice...

You Sir are just the person I have been looking for, let me what works and what doesn't. At worst, phone, contacts and MMS will probably either FC or simply not work. Once I have an idea of what's wrong I can fix it.
Make sure you back-up first.
Good Luck.

lol, thanks, I sure will flash this, give me a few, I am in the middle of a quick build for the s4 guys...umm, I can't wait actually. I love the look, the dark look has always been my favorite.
Hey, could I post your link in my Sprint thread, for the peeps to have quick access? I will credit properly, and we can get some people to run this bad boy....:good::good:
And if it works on my tmo roms, I would like to post the links there also.....
Great work my friend!!:good: When @micmars puts his stamp on something, it is something I need to check out for sure...

Yeah, go for it.
@coldmethod Thank you for supporting us sprint users. About to flash this on free3 with the 4/27 international all backs black theme already installed I'll report back if there's any issues.
Edit. Got it flashed on fre3 2.14b and no issues. Can't comment on dialer, contacts, mms theming due to already having flashed modified versions of those files that were pre themed to make this theme invert them properly. Can't find the link right now but they were posted in the fre3 thread by @micmars. 2 thinks are still not themed though. The notification bar and the wifi calling toggle.
Neither bother me that much as I usually have wifi calling disabled and it's mostly gray when disabled and I can use Wanam to make the notification bar black.
Really loving this theme keep up the great work.

Anybody know if this will flash on a sprint s4 running 4.4.2 tw? I will try it out and see, but I was just curious if anyone else had tested it yet. Looks great!

Hey GavinMazey,
I will fix the wifi calling toggle in the next update, as for the notification bar this is a per ROM mod, I didn't have it set out clearly enough in the OP (fixed now) but here it is.
Enhancements
* Semi-Transparent Notification/Status screen;
For the above enhancements please pull the below files from your device, upload to your favourite file sharing site then PM me the link.
system\framework\framework-res.apk
system\framework\twframework_res.apk
system\priv-app\SystemUI.apk
Please also include a link to the ROM.
If you do the above I will create a file specific to your ROM that will fix the notification bar.

Hey crevis24, this might better serve you. The thread is maintained by the creator of this theme @Kdio, be sure to thank him for his brilliant work.
Update
Hi All,
See the OP for an update.
This is untested as I'm flying blind, but it should be all good.
08/06/2014
- WiFi calling icon fixed
- Mms apk name corrected
- Removed themed XML's from email apk
- Call and S-Voice icons in dialer fixed
If there are any issues let me know asap.
@coldmethod new version is running great so far. I noticed that mms isn't being themed properly on newest update.
I will also upload the 3 files for the notification mods for fre3 in the next day or 2. He just posted that an update will be coming in that time frame so I'll give you the new files as soon as I get them. One question though does the theme need to be applied before I pull the files or can I just take them from the zip?

Yeah the MMS issue is bizarre considering nothing was changed on it except the name. I'm looking into it now.
The three files can be pulled from your device or the Zip, but from the Zip is easier.
Thanks for the report.

Just the man I'm after,
Mate would you mind testing the new MMS app for me please. I will send a PM.
Also, post the voicemail icon and I'll have a look.
Thanks.
@coldmethod
I've been messing around and in the op of fre3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671779 there is a inverted dialer, contacts, mms zip the apps aren't fully inverted b&w like yours. So I pulled the mms.apk from there and the mms.apk vrthemer folder from your International theme, unzipped the n900 theme and placed the files I'm their respective locations then zipped it back up and flashed. Here's the result.
edit...wrong image, fixed now
Also send me a pm if you'd like me to test your new mms fix. I have a fresh backup.
