I know of a method to get rid of the ugly white dialer interface on the Galaxy S4. Other carriers may have the dark interface. You can use apktool to edit the GUI of the dialer. I just can't do it efficiently. Using dialers from the play store is pointless. I wish there were some configurations or modified SecPhone.apk replacements for the original one. Of course it would be wise to keep a backup of the original. I'm so sick of this bright white dailer. It's such an eye sore.

I agree the VZW stock phone is ugly. I use the jkruse's international stock dialer. I flashed Cobalt on top of it to give a nice effect to the dialer numbers.

I read about potentially using a transparent png image to be able to see your screen before unlocking but after trying several .png files I came up with no luck. The phone either uses black background before your image or it just doesnt recognize the transparent. Any ideas?

If you want to do it yourself, here's how:
I use notepad++ for editing, but any editor will work. Use apkmanager to decompile / compile framework-res.apk.
Edit res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml.
In line 2 replace android:background="@color/background_dark" with android:background="@drawable/default_wallpaper".
In line 5 replace android:background="#30000000" with android:background="@color/transparent".
In line 12 replace android:layout_marginBottom="80.0dip" to android:layout_marginBottom="0.0dip".
Edit res/layout/zzz_keyguard_screen_lockscreenwallpaper.xml.
In line 2 replace android:background="#ff000000" with android:background="@color/transparent".
In res/drawable-hdpi:
Replace default_wallpaper.jpg with default_wallpaper.png. Replace zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.jpg with transparent zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.png (can be any png size 480x800).
Thats it.

Thank you!
And this will allow for transport and non transparent (opaque?) backgrounds right?
No idea honestly, just came across that thread a few days ago and haven't gotten around to trying it.
Anybody actually try this yet??? sounds like a cool idea
I have transparent zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.png
can I replace it over the original without decomp/recomp? I haven't done that yet, iffy about doing something wrong. (I've heard of people not recompiling right and unhappy results)

I can't do all the work for you. Best way to learn this stuff is to do a little foot work. If you can't find one for your ROM, there are plenty of great ROMs with jkay preinstalled.

But you're saying it is possibly on KH7 or KK6? Just looking for a nudge in the right direction since there is a lot of misinformation floating around.

As far as I am aware, they are not avaliable for UCKK6. Additionally, Jkay himself states in his post not to ask about porting to anything other than what is listed. I’m not trying to be rude, just saying that is probably why you aren’t getting a reply. #3 on the third post
Well I'm hoping it's something like i9100 roms, they are intended for i9100 devices but with hellraiser mods they work fine on our devices.

I have used v12 on Villian ROM and v13 on Check ROM (both hellraised) and they both worked great. I recently moved back to Unnamed and the Jkay stuff is the one thing I miss most.
I found this. It isn't jkay, but it might have what you want. I will try it out myself and get back to you.
*edit* Not exactly what your looking for. It has a transparent pull down and you can change the order and appearance of quick toggle items but no transparent lock screen. Still pretty neat mod though.
There is a mod out I'm going to try, the maker of it made one for 2.2.1 for me but before I was able to install it I ended up going back to 1.3.2 and now I'm going to try it myself.

You know what's funny is, I rooted my mom's brand-new T-Mobile SGS II using their odin instructions, then booted into CWM and flashed Superuser, and when I rebooted the phone back into Android, the lockscreen was transparent.
I've flashed around a bit with different roms and as much as I enjoy touchwiz, I love the stock mms app that comes in AOKP/ vanilla android ICS and was just wondering if anyone had made any type of universal port for touchwiz roms that work just as smoothly? Saw a couple on the play store but they were total rubbish and full of bugs. gonna stay on AOKP in the meantime. Just curious if anyone else shared the thought

That's the problem. Even if you get a compatible full asop mms, you have to keep the default samsung app. If you delete it, it will cause problems and FCs.

Thank you phalanx, I hadn't realized serendipity incorporated aosp apps into touchwiz. That does further spark my curiosity as to if It's possible to pull the AOSP mms app as a stand alone apk that I could keep and install no matter what ROM I switch to since serendipity makes it seem possible if I just disable the stock mms app.

you could theme the Samsung mms.apk to look like the AOSP mms.apk if nothing else, if all you're looking for is the aesthetics of the AOSP mms.apk

How do you do this? I'm the same way as jrod. Love what TouchWiz offers aside from the messaging app. Favour the look of stock ICS one instead. (Because I like the pictures inside the message thread)

Simple way would be to change your pngs in your drawable-hdpi folder and change some xmls as well, not really all that difficult once you get started
Edit: sorry, completely forgot that Samsung's has text bubbles, so it would get a little trickier, I'll look into it
Edit: So, I've been real busy with school and stuff, so I haven't been able to look at the apk. Also, I don't have a Samsung Mms.apk since I like the AOSP feel of ICS better and have been on AOKP since it came out. So in trying to find a Samsung Mms.apk in our dev threads, I found that Serendipity 9 has an AOSP Mms.apk in it and is TW-based. It also has a lot of other AOSP apks in it, and it looks nice and runs pretty well. (flashed it to see everything first-hand). That might be an answer

Black / Blue Stock Dialer and Stock Messaging wanted. For some reason Verizon/ATT and maybe more decided to make these so white! Other variants, like in Canada, of the S4 are like the S3 black / dark blue.
Agreed I miss the style on note 2 and s3 etc. This white dialer and messaging is annoying.

I'm hoping its just something as simple as taking the apps from the other carrier s4's and just making a flashable zip. From there the makers of clean roms can also just substitute the other carrier dialer/messaging app instead of having to actually theme them.

Hi,
I noticed that there ain't any themes for this tablet so here is an easy way to theme your tablet.
And of course you will need to be rooted to do this.
Also use common sense when messing around the modules. If you end up in boot loops from wrongly setting up the modules then there is always a Xposed disabler zip file in the root of our sdcard that you will have to flash in recovery to remove the bootloops.
First Install Xposed app.
Second Install xTheme Engine.
Here is a collection of xThemes i have collected and uploaded in one place to easier access them.
Fourth if you want to further mod you Tablet then try the modules here.
The Xposed Framework and xTheme Engine works on all roms. The themes will only do basic theming so do not expect to move mountains with it.
Happy Theming
I was wondering if you had any pics of the specific themes. Would help a lot to see which ones would suit my taste.

I just ordered my Note 10.1 4G 2014 and it will be here in a week or so.
Once I receive my Note 10.1 I will try out all the themes and delete those not compatible with this device.
If I get the time I will make as many screen shots of the themes I try out.
Please if you guys can do the same and upload your screen shots of the themes you try then you will help out the community.
Screenshots
I am a bit disappointed or maybe I did something wrong? I tried royal theme and miui sony theme and the only thing that changed was wifi icons and some stuff in the notification are. If anyone knows some full themes that would be great. Screenshots attached, first two are royal elegance and the last one is sony miui. I only took screen shots of what was themed because nothing else changed for me
I would suggest The guy who did True Icon (keygenSVK)

There was someone that Ported that specific Theme to 4.3 OMEGA Rom. I've Personally Flashed it but only a few things changed, mainly App Icons. Nothing on status Bar Changed which is what Iooking for.
