Can someone suggest a simple, clean theme using xtheme for TW Roms that actually work? Most themes either cause bootloop, don't implement fully, or 'too much' (no offense to anyone)? Would love to find something as close to holo glass as possible. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaanks.

Although many ROM's have different features and add-on's, it seems like most have the same old theme... the ugly cyan blue writing on a black background in all of the menus and settings screens. Are there any ROM's that break from this same old theme?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing anyone or any ROM, I just don't like the dismal blue on black look.

go through the dev. section and you will see. Another option is to install a theme (from dev. section as well, there are a few, or Play Store).
and that's why we have the themes section. that's also why there are hundreds of CM themes on the play store.

And blue is the worst colour for screen burn in
Yes, I find that every rom that comes out with 4.2 or 4.3 look the same. I don't see any difference so thats why it makes it hard to pick a rom because they look a like, but with different rom names. Is this really 4.3 or is it someones version how 4.3 would look like? I ask because of everyone's vision of how so called "key lime pie" supposed to look like and everyone was fooled into thinking this was the new name. Now, its out and its called "KitKat" and no one knows how its supposed to look like.
I like the AOSP or AOKP but at times it does get a bit boring. I do download themes but most of them aren't fully themed. I'm not a big fan of launchers so I just like the rom for what it is, not because of adding a launcher to make it look different.

The "same theme" is stock Android theme, developed by Google, which exists in stock Android phones (Nexus), and also all clean Android forks, f.e. AOSP (CM) or AOKP.
Personally I love cobalt theme -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt and I have little plans to implement it to my ArchiDroid in near future. You know, theme isn't really a problem, because it's a matter of taste. You have a GIANT list of themes working on CM for example, you just need to take a look at themes section.
I agree with you , i also liked it at first because it was new you know have to change to make it look nicer
so all u have to do is just search for themes over the Internet or here in
the Galaxy S III Themes and Apps
PS: they have really good ones .
**don't forget too to download icon packs because it's the real complete for the theme .
But believe me it will be tough to decide which ROM according to the theme of the ROM .
Cobalt is a nice theme. I've been using the "Simplicity" themes which is nice too. I like the flexibility of altering your phone with these themes. I hope that when the 4.3 comes out for us that it'll be different enough to keep on our phones. I just hope that samsung changes TW a bit maybe even making it flat. I hope that more themes get developed so I can play around with them. I like "Lunar, Flatron, and Gem" those are pretty cool.

Hi..you could try a program call Nova Launcher and is available at the play store..there is a free version and a paid version..and this program can change your theme and icons.

I just use wanam and xposed module...With wanam you can build practically any theme you want and is extremely easy to use. I always include it in my rom builds...I have one out for the i9205 and a v2 posting tomorrow in the dev forum for the mega. or just download xposed module from xda and wanam from the play store. Has tons of features with themes just being one of the many. As a dev wanam has been by far the easiest solution as it allows the user to make their own theme vs settling for whatever the rom creator wanted. so between wanam exposed and the already mentioned nova or apex launchers there is a nearly unlimited amount of mods to create any theme you want. below is a pic of a theme I built literally in 5 mins on a test build of my upcoming rom update...5 mins and 2 soft reboots...

if your'e not planning on rooting and installing custom roms, then you can use a third party launcher from the play store. and you can download icon packs and themes for the launcher. But if you are rooted and not planning about custom roms, you can install xposed framework.what it does is change some stuff for you..the best module for stock sammy roms is wanam xposed bacause you can able to change the battery icons and notification background etc.
Most of the xtheme themes aren't fully working on Touchwiz,
i.e. phone and sms didn't get themed as supposed to,
and as I understood, it resources need to be redirected to get fully themed.
I stumbled upon a thread, it have some fully working xthemes for Touchwiz,
Here's the link, just in case anyone is interested,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/themes-apps/xtheme-alphabluex-mixer-simplex-t2360755
So, can someone enlightened me as how to do redirections?
And if anyone have another fully working xthemes for touchwiz, please share,
I'd appreciate it, thanks
Well, hi! After some months in which i've done a lot of things to my stock rom (or testing other custom roms without enough satisfaction), i've decided to build my own, using the official samsung base. The thing is, i wanted it as something special and personal for me and my friend, we don't pretend to distribute it we just want it to be fast, reliable, debloat a bit, extend with xposed and mainly, to THEME it if possible.
We like stock because of all the samsung features but we miss the possibility to switch between themes as in CM and MIUI, so i wanted to know...
There is some modded systemui, framework-res, phone, settings, etc i can use to replace the stock ones? If so, would those new apk be able to show the interface themed elements CORRECT when i try to apply a theme using Xtheme Engine?
I've already tried Xtheme engine in our actual state and it just changes some icons in the app drawer and some icons in the notification bar..., the appearence of the expanded notification panel, Settings and background elements visible for example...in Root Explorer..., remain the same, but want the system apps to be able to accept xtheme engine, because that would be really handy instead of modding those apks each time we want a new look
And by the way, ehm, i also wanted to know...where is "lockscreen" located? it is part of systemui?
Well, thanks a lot in advance!:fingers-crossed:
I've switched over to cloudy g3. Was wondering if there's anyway to install cm 12.1 theme engine (or just the themes) on this which uses the stock launcher lg home?
I tried hktheme xposed module to no avail
Likely no, the cm theme engine, and upcoming layers, are deeply tied into the framework. Only way to get it would be on a cm or aosp rom. It isn't just an app that can be added unfortunately :/

Well, any other way to theme? Preferable on cloudy g3 stock launcher. Tried android theme engine xposed module.. But it mostly had options for just the status bar. I'm looking to theme the settings menu colors and other system ui thingies
If you want customization, AOSP is the way to go. The only thing you really give up is the stock camera, but you gain so much.
I've tried tons of roms. I really enjoy cm 12.1. I was just wanting to try out my initial settings and software and launcher that the phone came with. Guess I'll settle for stock theme for now.
Thanks a lot guys!
FYI, the default launcher on LG devices is called LG Home. You can do a search on Play Store "LG Home Theme" and you may find something to your liking that would work with a stock-based ROM.
Ah, i only tried the lgstore app, which experienced so many connection issues i couldn't get it to work. Thanks, I'll try the play store!
