So after owning g2 on att..we had same issue. Please disregard if its been posted. If you didn't know already here you go. This does not require root.
1. Go to the market. Download Launcher Pro
2. Don't open it. We're using it for a huge benefit it's always left a back door open for us devs..
3. Press on empty home screen to bring up widgets.
4. Scroll to find the activities in form of launcher pro icon
5. Press on It once It will bring up a huge hidden menu..
6. Scroll down to Home
7. Press home and scroll down to hidden menu themes provider (or the first hidden menu themes etc you see)
8. Press it once.
If you did this in the correct order it will bring a nice sweet blue icon on your home screen ..you can put it in a folder but keep it. Press on it to now have your theme picker.
9. Google LG world apk..download It and now enjoy your themes etc..
I hope this made you smile.
Peace.

Any chance for problems if rooted and modified with g3 tweaksbox? I was going to apply a theme, but don't want issues from the changes I made with xposed.

Gave it a shot and yes it does work with exposed. No issues yet.
If I remember right, it's the first "Theme" that shows up in that menu. It's not what the OP called it.
Yeah I have it installed already. I just didn't want to install a theme and mess something up.

Lg has themes available similar to like what Miui has but nowhere near as good. Most are pretty lame actually... probably why they dropped them from US varients, but there's a work around.
This topic should have probably been placed in the Themes and Apps forum, but here is some more detailed info on the subject.

I've tried a few. One for the g2 locked my phone up hard and made it totally unresponsive. Theme did stick after a battery pull and was fair at best. It was interesting to play around with for a bit but like i said, most are pretty weak.

I also add this is for version of sprint that does have the theme apk or home themes hidden. I don't know why. But this does not require root and is for stock Rom. Or out of box fix. Yes it can be moved to themes and apps if mods feel I've posted in error. Again just trying to help keep this sprint version level with the experience of the rest. The stock themes do suck. But the option is also great to have. Peace. And thank you all for your help.

First off, hats off to Shoman for producing one of the BEST ROMs available. If you use his ROM make sure you thank him.
I recognize that his ROM is tailored to meet his personal preferences and I would not ask him to change that, so I tweaked a couple of things in the ROM to meet my personal preferences. I've been running this for most of this week and figured I would share with the community.
MOD: Power Menu Tweaks
Tweaked power menu to use the stock theme (colors)
Tweaked power menu to only include "Power Off", "Reboot", "Recovery", & "Download" options.
MOD: Status Bar Tweaks
Statusbar (wifi & radio) reverted back to v2 layout.
Tweaked status bar to use ICS theme color the the time.
Tweaked expanded status bar to include long date.
Tweaked expanded status bar to include "No notifications" text.
Tweaked expanded status bar to appear more ICS.
Removed the AT&T logo from the expanded status bar.
PACKAGES
There are 4 flashable packages available:
All Tweaks (includes both mods above)
Power Menu Tweaks
Status Bar Tweaks
Remove Tweaks
Downloads
HOW TO DOWNLOAD FROM GOOGLE DRIVE
1. Click on the zip file listed in the left pane. The right side will display the contents of the zip.
2. Click the "File" menu item below the ZIP file name and select download.
Just in case...
Thanks for this! Now if I can only find a way to replace that battery indicator, i'll actually use that ROM for more than a day.
Thanks ! Nice options for Sho's work

Thanks. I've actually been thinking about removing the "No notifications" text... basically reverting back to how Shoman has it. I'll probably post an update tomorrow evening.
Would you consider adding back the carrier information? It's a serious hindrance for me personally as I am continuously roaming (out of the country 340+ days/year). I need to see what network I'm connected to as I frequently have to switch as I move about.
Thanks!
EDIT: Alternatively, do you have any idea whether it would be a simple thing to edit the stock ShoStock 3.0.4 status bar files to remove the roaming "R" without changing anything else? That's really the only fix I need from 3.0.4 but I can't really bug Shoman about something so minor, although I'm guessing he will include it in the next update. I'd be eternally grateful if it's a super quick thing and you could send me a zip just with the R gone.
One word. Perfect. I love shos rom but his theming This is exa This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you thank you thank you.
Hope we'll see an update for 3.0.5.

It's all good, glad to find out it works as well. Hope you get some free time. Had those kind of weeks before myself at a previous job and it sucks. Hopefully the money made it worth it.
Would still like it without the Notifications text like we talked about before.
Still some badass tweaks. My wife just ogt her a SGSII as a replacement for her Inspire and she hated the wifi and data icons. She would only stay with Shostock once I showed her this mod.

So yeah she's really anal about the phone's look.
I've recently became obsessed with changing the Lockring after I had seen it done on other devices so I decided I was going to figure out how to create a custom lockscreen and this is the result.
Just flash zip through recovery and tada.
Now if my inexperience here in posting shines brighter than my good intention my apologies I never until recently had done anything in the way of sharing mods here just my usually useless opinions but hope you enjoy either way

Edit: lol nvm I see you posted a stock version too. Thanks can't wait to try it out. Have you looked into changing the rings or using different colors? What's the chances we could request certain lock screen features with this mod also?

Yeah I'd definitely like to see what you come up with. I thought there was already a thread on a different forum where people had replacement rings. But I'd also like to be able to add the battery percentage to the lockscreen. I had that option on cm with my Inc 2 and would love to have it back. I've tried other lock screen replacements but the stock one works best for me.

Hello everyone... As the title says, I am looking to get rid of the black bar or make it transparent on the lock screen... I have tried a few thing and can not seem to get it... Is there any other method to try besides these here???...

Currently using Links #1 and #2 for the transparent bar, but does not work for the lock screen... I have attached 3 pics as to what happens when I use Link #3 for the status bar, although everything else seems to work... Link #4 does not work at all... I flashed the zip and once I reboot it stays on the splash screen... So I pulled the battery and used my back up to get it to boot again... Is there any way to get the Simplistic Framework to function with our Verizon Note 2 ( SCH-I605) ??? But most importantly eliminate this status bar on the lock screen or make transparent... Thank you for any help you can provide...:fingers-crossed:
So no one has any suggestions or know of something that works??? I am still looking and came across this link...

If you are on a TW ROM it won't work, it states in the first few lines of the OP it is only for AOSP Roms.
Also I believe the Xposed framework has an add on that allows what you're wanting.

OK, from what I've found you need to install the Xposed framework and then install the Tweakbox, the only problem is the tweakbox I've found is for ICS. It may or may not work. That was the way I found to do it in the thread. I will keep looking because there is still one that I remember reading that I haven't found.
Here is a blog link that says it works for ICS and JB so hopefully it will work, this one explains it with pictures so it should be easy to do:

Well that suck ass bad, it is supposed to remove it from both from what I understood but apparently it does not work. There were posts in that thread that said it didn't work either but there were some that said it did.
If I were you I would back everything up, via nandroid and back your apps up with Tibu, and flash Goodness. There may be other Roms that have it but the only one I know for certain that has it, without going and looking, is Goodness. There most likely won't be a mod made for stock if it hasn't already happened.
When we get official 4.2.2 then maybe, I believe the S4 comes with it stock so if we get the update soon ours most likely will too.

Come to goodness and we will try our damndest to get that worked out for you and the rest of the users. Might take a bit, but we got one hell of a team over here. Just posted another rom for the vzw n2 also.
I asked about this before, and I've done some searching on the subject.
This method works, but only if you use live wallpapers.
Install one of the many home screen status bar transparency mods, then change the home+lockscreen wallpaper to any live wallpaper.
Voila!
I don't know how or why this works, but it does.
The only downside is, as soon as you stop using a live wallpaper, the status bar on the lock screen won't be transparent anymore.

Yes in deed you are correct... I guess I should of mentioned that earlier in my post... The thing with that is you can see the difference in the transparency... I am very particular in how I like things to look... I would much rather it be gone.. But thank you for pointing that out...
Let's hope some one takes this challenge before N3 comes out...
This thread is pretty old but I too was searching how to make that black bar go away. I am on the 4.3 stock rooted and xposed. I found a way to do this within 20 minutes of searching.
Install the Tinted status bar module for Xposed
2) open systemui.apk
3) select all activities and slide the bars all the way to the left for the navigation bar tint settings!
Enjoy!!
I have been running Buzz laucher for some time now and just recently got a beta code to use Themer. My question would be what are the differences? So far I feel they are quite similar with the exception of Buzz having more features because it has been around longer.
Thoughts?
I dunno but if you wanna give up that code, let me know! I'll take it!

I have been running Buzz laucher for some time now and just recently got a beta code to use Themer. My question would be what are the differences? So far I feel they are quite similar with the exception of Buzz having more features because it has been around longer.
Thoughts?

One major difference that I found out was that Buzz launcher consumes over 100MB Memory(without any widget) and Themer takes about 40-50MB even on high end theme ...
Also even in Beta stage Themer is much smoother than Buzz (transition animations).
So I guess Themer has better memory management .
Also Themer will have more Quality and Detailed Theme Gallery than Buzz (Because there are many Themers who have their themes on MyColorScreen also unlike Buzz the Theme is validated before it gets published in the Themer themes Browser)...
u dont need to download any external app like UCCW/zooper etc etc
At a first glance, I asked myself the same question... they are very similar in form and function... But I was looking for the 'widget everything' option and looks promising.
I have a question. I've modified a theme I'm using now, if I switch to another theme then go back will the original theme I modified will it be the way I left it?

Export your current theme before changing to other theme. You can get it back at Themer > My Themes > Exported.
Differences are:
1) Our themes are 100% curated. Only the best get in.
2) Themer is true one-click. User doesn't have to do anything to make the theme look just the way the designer intended.

^^ This - 1 click is literally all it takes. No further setting up of widgets is required, unless of course you want to edit the theme.
Also, with the simplicity of themer, I strongly believe that it will gain a massive community behind it once it's generally released. Plus, there's a dedicated forum on our favourite mobile development site too
What's not to like!

I see the benefits. I guess there are a few features I miss over buzz that I would like to see added.
1) Infinite scrolling of both home screens and app drawer
2) scroll transitions (more fun than fictional)
3) a less intrusive menu button capture
I also think it would be great to have an option to retain the AOSP like play store icon in the top corner of the app drawer.
Edit: One more thing I would like to see is the ability to use the theme based icons as folders or standalone app icons via the long press>edit option
Until Themer can handle my Nexus 4 in full screen mode I will be using Buzz for my themes (although I recognize that Themer has better themes etc etc).
Im using a stock rooted rom but I wanted to know what ROMS you guys were running.. I want something new and stable..
i just updated minin3 maximus and minimus roms.
check them out.
minimus is stock but stripped to the bone (500mb or so)
maximus is pretty heavily modified with an eye toward speed,battery use, and personal customization.
both are fairly mature at this point and should be mostly rock solid stable.

What he said
Jellybomb 3.0 (Test build)
Looks great, works well, but I'm having an issue with screen timeout. Basically, it won't timeout. It will only dim. I've had the problem with the 2.0 stable build and the test build. I will probably try a stock rom next. It is annoying to have to turn the screen off everytime.

I got in running and its really smooth. The only thing I dont like is the see through app draw and pull down bar. I just wish it was a little darker to block out the background a little more. Other than that its really nice. Smooth and fast..
Oh, and the live wall paper picker isnt working.. Not a deal breaker.

You can change the opacity of the drawer...
It's under
Wanam xposed > themes > I think it's panel background
There should be an opacity slider.
And live wallpaper should work, the issue is none come installed by default.

Sweet. I changed the opacity and its perfect now. Live wallpaper picker crashes every time though. I did a clean install. Not really a big deal but Ill try to figure it out. I hate when things dont work even if I dont really use them..

I will also go back and take a look at it for future versions. I never use it so it's possible it doesn't work.

Wow. Noob mistake..... Live wallpaper doesnt work because none were installed with the rom so when you select it the thing just crashed...:silly: I downloaded one from the store and it works fine. lol.
Great job on the rom btw. I really like it.
There are a ton of excellent roms in the dev thread. I encourage trying all of them.
Each is unique and awesome.

I've tried a few and for now I am loving bonsai, cm is going to be my daily driver once a few more bugs get worked out. We have some great devs though!

You've gotta do Minimu3 Maximus. I usually get sick of a new RIM within a few hours because they're limited or dysfunctional. I would hate going back to stock after using Minimu3 Maximus. It's the same feeling I had when I switched from apple to android.

Just switched to Minin3 MaximuS 5.4
I like this rom minus a few minor issues.
For one, the text that displays the list of contacts as you dial them has a white font on a white background. However, when you select the drop down menu, you can read it just fine.
Also, the layout and formatting of the thumbnails in the gallery is off. You have to scroll to see additional pictures even though the gallery window isn't fully populated with thumbnails. Thumbnails to the far right are cut off making it impossible to know which picture it actually is.
There is also the annoying select input, notification that doesn't seem to be able to be cleared even after an input is selected.
Google search is broken and force closes everytime.

There are fixes for most of the issues coming with his 5.5 release. As far as the gallery issue goes you can open app settings application and set the gallery to either 480 dpi (large) or 290 dpi (small) and everything will fit to screen. Google search you should just be able to uninstall from phone then re Install through play store.
Mj is really quick to help/fix issues if you post over on his thread. I see you're just a couple posts away from being able to.
Hope this helps and welcome to the team. I have been enjoying maximus for months now.

I used Maximus for a few weeks and loved it, but switched to CM now that it is finally out, and could not be happier thus far.
