Would anyone know if it is possible to make a modification like the one in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2720265
in a way other than the build prop. perhaps in the system ui? It seems reading the thread the build prop change may cause some behind the scenes problems and was curious if an edit could be made in the files themselves to change the statusbar icon set that is called while leaving the model designation alone?

The build prop edit is a rather short way to accomplish that which you desire. And yes, it busts much of that which may go unnoticed for a while.
You have a few options here, but the great harvest can be had over on the international Note 3 themes and apps section.
There you will find an Xposed module, and some ported apps that allow for most of that which you desire.
T-Mobile forums have a similar but varied clutch if options.
I use the Xposed modules, inasmuch as I can nuke the theme of so desired.
Here is the link for the Xposed modules,

I hope this helps.
Good luck!

some people reported issues with it breaking some apps I am guessing due to it changing your device model in the prop .. my thought was same as your trying to avoid any issues behind the scenes now or in the future.

It breaks apps in settings, and has many unforeseen consequences. It's cool to see the status bar changes, like the spinning spark symbol, but it to me wasn't worth other features may getting tanked.

Hey guys,
I was wondering is there a way to tell which morphs and themes, on the older trigger will work on trigger 2.9.+. Also could someone who is skilled in morphing, and themes, take a look at all the requests they are throwing at birgertime? This rom is solid and a performer. It's that some ppl want to tweek the looks for their own wicked taste. I sadly am not skilled enough to get the job done
Thank you for any help
given that trigger is still kb1 based the frameworks will also be based off the kb1 frameworks.
that said anything that worked on 2.8.x SHOULD work on 2.9.x+. i cant be 100% certain as i am not using trigger. but worst case scenario you get a bootloop in which case just push the framework-res.apk from 2.9.x to /system/framework using adb in CWM recovery
All of the metamorphs in trigger_addons work.
My thread (signature) has a lot of the themes that work.
Problems only arise when trying to use themes that include other (non -res files) framework essentials like android policy or services, because the ones on Trigger are unique do to all the modifications.
Furthermore, the framework-res on Trigger has a couple of resources for the extra lock screen that might not be there from other themes. I'm not sure what the result would be if you picked the starwars lock screen would be if you chose a theme that didn't have the framework for it (which most probably wouldn't)
If that made any sense
But yeah, people throwing all these requests at me for personal preferences is getting to be too much

The only personal preference you need to worry about is yours... it's worked pretty well so far. People will learn how to customize on their own.
Maybe post links in your OP to helpful links?

Thank you I agree that you should make it to your liking. I just seen all the request and it was driving me nuts and it's not my rom lol. So I figured maybe someone could get them from begging and bugging you lol.
after looking through many forums and some personal trial and error, i've decided to give this section a try.
i dont know crap about developing. i know how to flash through recovery, use basic adb commands, decompile apks, and open up the files in notepad++. thats about it. but i really want to start and i thought that some (relatively) simple changes to the system ui would give me a good starting point. but i'm trying to fumble my way through the systemui.apk from newts sense 5 rom to attempt a mod. but, like i said, i have to idea what im looking for. since sense 5 is so new, i cant find anything about it, and from looking, all the ui names and directories are slightly different.
my main goal is to gain a semi-transparent notification drawer background. if possible, i would like to attempt to get the app drawer background semi transparent also (but i'll cross that bridge later)
so if anyone can point me in the right direction, to a thread or the actual file in the apk, i would be most appreciative. i could even kick down a small donation for somebody that has the time. thanks
AFAIK it's framework.apk and thismay help

What I would like is that all of the quick settings in the notification panel (1 finger pulldown) be removed. However, I would still like to be able to access them from the settings panel (2 finger pulldown).
Personally I find having the toggles in both places extremely redundant and a waste of space that I could be using for my notifications, and it doesn't make it any harder to change settings since the 2 finger pulldown is there.
I am not even sure if this is possible, but if someone could let me know if it is that would be great.
Thanks
I'll take a look at it when I get the fix for making the UI compile

I've looked and can't seem to remove them without the ui crashing. Since I don't know how Samsung has tied these into other parts of the ui (and this is my first Samsung device), I could spend days trying to make it work and I don't want to spend that kind of time. Hopefully someone with more touch wiz experience can get this done

You need to add a "+" in front of @layout in the erroring XML files. This solves the compilation problem. You can safely ignore the warnings about the default translation. This has been covered in some other posts; I learned this when I was just starting out on modding the S4 a few weeks ago.

Well thanks for attempting! Hoping that maybe it really is possible, but who knows.
On Hold Indefinitely
Important Info
This is the first theme I'm making for the Tab S and it is in testing.
If you download and flash please disregard missing elements in the theme.
I expect to be finished sooner than later. By the end of the weekend maybe.
I'll post any significant additions or improvements if it's not completed by Mon.
I Am Not Responsible For Any Use Of Information Or Files Posted By Myself Or By Any Other User.
Limitations and Solutions
The vr system will theme pngs, .9.pngs and some xmls [font color and some significant background elements].
I personally will theme my stock T700 NL2 rom and add apks to the theme to complete it where I cannot for any rom build because it would cause errors.
If two roms use stock apks with no mods to them you might be able to do this but I would not advise it.
Developers And Rom Users
I'll happily find the time to make this or any theme I put out for the TabS compatible with your rom. Please PM me or let me know.
Theme Design And Name Info
This is a simple theme that will add white and grey [4D5163, 343743] to touchwiz ui.
The name Version 0 is because this is the first time I've released a theme at this early of a stage, it will be relatively colorless and seemed cool enough.
EMPTYGALAXYTHEME comes from my EMPTYGALAXYROM name and I guess a way to encompass all my work. lol
I'm not big on it now but it adds to the fun.

vr theme flashable zip tested on T700. It should work on any Tab S but I'm not 100% sure about the T800.
Please Report If It Works On Your Tab S
current themed parts
System UI - toggles, icons.
Framework - menus, some background
screenshots when finished
I realize the risk you run flashing a theme without any screenshots or revert zip and I thank you for that[emoji14]
Hopefully I'll need this
Confirmed working on T800. Just needs a few fixes. Power menu is also themed to. So looks like you got that down thank you man
That's how it should look at this point. That's great thanks.
Feel free to use the zip as a map. Some things I didn't need to theme but unzip it and you'll know some of r he pngs. I'd love to know where that side bar in settings is...

Hey changed the icons in sec settings. I still don't know which is the color that blueish one is. I used your theme as a base and filled some stuff in the empty folders. I managed to get the recents bar themed too. I did some cherry picking from discreet blue. The settings now has custom icons. Also fixed the auto brightness tick box while I was at it.
Very nice. Was the recents bar in settings? I'm thinking the side bar background might be an xml.... I hope not though

If I am correct, the recents bar was an XML... I looked at discreet blue and saw that the systemui had layout folder along with an XML file. I'm still trying to figure out the top blue bar in the notification panel. The framework doesn't need changes as its perfect for me.
Here's my zip in case you want to know the things I added. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fehgzqqiu6rbmon/Theme Test 2 DUHAsianSKILLZ.zip?dl=0
I'll check that out if I get a chance. I've got to find all the backgrounds before I'll be changing icons or anything else. Looks like each rom may need it's own themed apks though cuz of values folders

Hey, If you ever get the notification part at the top themed/fixed tell me That's basically all I need since you did most of the dirty work with the framework and systemui. Of course I am theming for the T800 as you can do whatever as you have the T700
That's in one of the value folders in System UI apk. Next time I'm at my pc I'll find exactly where.
Added
It's in one of the colors.xml or drawables.

Hey,
I've been busy with the s4 [it needs a lot more attention than the tab] but I saw you've gotten framework themed? Have you found the side settings panel?
That's the only thing keeping me from finishing this.

I don't think I did anything with the framework. Been really busy finishing and studying for exams this week. I'm all finished now though. I tried looking for that part yesterday and I couldn't find it! And I also had trouble with the top nonfication panel. Those are basically the only things left until its finished.
What tab do you have? Lol. I'll need the System Ui from the rom. I'm thinking it's worth focusing on IronRom and your version. Once it's complete it'll be easier to bring it to the others. I have the debloated NL2. .. I might complete something for that. Idk though. You're all over helping the community so honestly I want to return the favor and get this done.

I own the Tab s wifi 10.5 (SMT800). Themes should work fine on T805 also.Here's the Apks I pulled from iron rom. https://mega.co.nz/#F!i0wCTapZ!RP83sWXTdksm4PqpxVQ8wA. Thank you for working/want to work on it for me. Its basically the two things I mentioned in the last post. Theme those then its complete. I'm trying not to work too much on it since lollipop is coming real soon. You'll see me around the community a lot since I own the device . If I owned other devices you'd see me there too. Thanks again! If you don't manage to find it or get things to work, I can try to do it.
Well, I must need to update some tools or something. I can not compile framework. And the SystemUI sent I couldn't compile. The xml that needs to be modded is in value-sw800dp-xhdpi/drawables.xml "notification_header_bg".
Now there is a good chance it's somewhere else because when I did it on my SysUI I went through all the drawables.xml and colors.xml is values folders, values-sw800dp-xhdpi, values-sw600dp, values-sw540dp, values-sw360dp-xhdpi, values-sw320dp and values.
I won't be able to do anything until I can get those compiled

Sorry for the late reply, had a big project to do. I typically use tickelmyandroid tool to compile and decompile the Apks since it uses apktool and all that. Never had a problem. Perhaps I can compile them?
That might work. I'm gonna see about tickle my android. I've never used it. Thanks for the info. I'm still doing work on the s4. I'll try to make some time for the tab.
Hi anyone-who-can-possibly-help,
I have been wondering if it would be possible to make the background panel of notifications on the lock screen transparent/invisible.
I am using Lock Clean for Substratum and have tried Transparent Theme but this applies globally and I don't the theme applied to the notification panel or heads up notifications.
I understand there is probably going to be a limitation of Substratum but if anyone can think of any other way of implementing this I would be ever grateful however I have a feeling this is going to be something that was only going to be possible with something akin to Xposed to which there is no alternative to (with the exception of maybe Magisk) on 7.x.x+ at this time.
Thank you in advance!

Try the good old fashion way and modify your own xmls instead of using things like Substratum, Xposed etc.

So I'm presuming from that that what I'm trying to achieve is possible? Is there anywhere you can point me in the direction of to start my research?
I'm more than happy to figure it out myself and I'm not asking for a handout. A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated however.

I'd start by looking at your SystemUI colors.xml first and/or googling guides for your phone to see if it's been done before.
Hm... I am also interested in this, let me know if find anything. I also looked into possibly creating my own substratum theme to make this happen as well (the basics as to how to get it done)
