[Q] Dark UI on stock ROM, rooted Xperia Z Ultra - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I recently moved from Windows 8 phone to Android with Sony Xperia Z Ultra. I really miss the Dark Black UI that was there on my windows phone.
Can someone suggest a way by which I can make the UI - Black for Dialler, Contacts, Settings, Calculator, Calendar and wherever possible on my Xperia Z Ultra.
My phone is rooted with stock ROM and I am not intending to install any other ROM.
Also, when I go to Personalisation > Xperia Themes > Choose a particular Theme. The option under Theme Elements as System Colors is greyed out and unselectable, if that is the place where I can change the colors ?

[Q][ROM DEVELOPMENT] How do you want my first custom rom for Xperia S will look like?

Dear Xperia S users,
I really love the Xnew Sony Xperia S since I tested it in my local Smartphone shop so I ordered my unit this week and I will receive it Tuesday or Wednesday probably
Some of you might already know me or my work on the Xperia 2011 devices, but some of you probably don't know me at all so here is a short introduction:
I am a 20year old student that started developing for some Xperia 2011 devices on XDA. I started development recently, only a month ago, when the official ICS beta came out
Since then I developed a custom rom named KA Ice Cream Sony (KA = KrabAppel, and I really loved the sound of Ice Cream Sony) I also chose this name because my rom is based on the Sony theme
Those who want to check out what I already made for the 2011 Xperia devices here are the threads:
Xperia Neo & Neo V: Xperia Neo KA ICS thread
Xperia Arc & Arc S: Xperia Arc KA ICS thread
Xperia Ray: Xperia Ray KA ICS thread
Xperia Play: Xperia Play KA ICS thread
Now I'll finally get to the point Since I'm receiving my Xperia s next week, I'm also going to start development for the SXS, but the question is:
How do you want my rom to be themed, which add-ons would you like to have and so on
Some examples:
- ICS themed, status bar widgets, reboot option in power menu and on screen button enabler
- Based on Sony ICS beta theme, framework mods like AOSP lockscreen etc, auto-rotating home
- ...
This information would really be useful, so i can prepare my rom as much as possible to the general needs of the Xperia S users
The Xperia S isn't a cheap phone, so if anyone feels free to donate a little bit amount I can increase my resources for the rom (and maybe kernel) development of Xperia S. Don't donate because I post this, only if you really want to support me
Thank you for you're support and trust in all the devs
hello,
AOSP lockscreen: will lost the notification lockscreen???
can you make "volume button" enable wake up screen???
thanks
-ICS and Sony ICS lockscreen.
-Notifications for emails, messages, lost calls, etc.
-Change track via long pressing volume button.
-ICS or Sony ICS theme.
-Power widgets on status bar
-Brightness slider on status bar
-Weather on status bar (just like AOKP)
Well, I can remember just this right now. If I think on something else, I will tell.

I don't know about the AOSP lockscreen and notifications, the framework of Xperia S is pretty different so I'll have to do some testing with it first before I can fully start developing without a lot of mistakes

That's how I use my own rom without add-ons
I am not sure how far it's possible to do so, but i would appreciate a MIUI port for our Xperia S
The work you've done on the Arc looks great, I didn't need to look at the others! That sort of development for our great phone will be much appreciated and I will very much look forward to your work!

Gamer OS -stripped as much as possible and graphically optimalise,
tweak tweak for gaming ??
more free ram
battery life improved
improved hardware accelation !!
Possibly 2.0ghz overclocking
"something like wolf-rom(x10) you like particular tweak, app,wigdet you download a package-not much preinstalled"
Improved music output, automatic album art download, burst mode in camera, track switching with volume keys, option to select number of home screens...
Thank you.
Change the volume rocker, so it will both have a vibrate and no-vibrate state at the bottom. This is default in htc roms, and for example cyanogenmod has an option for this in the settings.

I believe this doesn't work in stock player at all if you unlock bootloader, because DRM keys are lost.

Thanks for the replies
I am a little confused... Your stock version have a mixture of Sony ICS and vanilla ICS theme? If I'm right, you should do small add ons with each part of the themed things (like one for SystemUI, other for MMS, other for lockscreen, for example). Got it?

[Q] JB Slider

Hi. I'm running Feralab JB ROM. One thing I noticed is that it has the new Sony Locked screen where you can slide left to right for music, right to left for camera and either up to down or down to up to unlock the phone.
How do I change it to the JB Slider shortcut where there is a lock symbol at the middle with the camera icon on the left, Google at the top and unlock to the right?
seems like that xperia z lockscreen is the default one in Feralab JB, i dont know if there is an option in it to get the stock cm10 lockscreen or not, but you can install Holo Locker from play store, almost the same .

There is an option to customize the slider but I can't seem to enable it for some reason.
Hey hello maybe u can try delelting the apk from it. Because if i am correct not 100% sure the default lockscreen is part of the framework-res.apk or systemui.apk and the sony one is maybe interrupting the default one.
But be warned make a backup first in cwm recovey because u never now and it maybe doesnt boot without.

Inverted Rendering

Is it possible to do Inverted Rendering (make everything negative) Dark menus, browser etc. with Stock 4.3? It used to be in Accessibility settings in ICS on my old phone. But I cant find it in ZU. Need to save my eyes :cyclops:
I'm on KitKat and i can't find the option either, so i guess Google removed it?

Too bad there is no theme either that makes the menus dark. I miss Real Dark Slim feature of my N7000. I wonder if there is any Theme builder to make Xperia ZU custom themes. I looked over google but could not find any latest from Sony.

how to

Hi guys
I want to know how to get more themes in the settings menu under display settings themes menu on android 4.2.2
even I am ready to donate whosoever will help me
If you have a Themes section in Settings, I'm assuming you are running a custom rom such as CyanogenMod, AOKP, SlimBean, etc? If so, there are tons of themes in the Play Store...
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=cm10+themes&c=apps
If that isn't the case, well, if you don't tell us what phone and rom you have, how would we know what to suggest?

Ah ok. That's not typical of most android phones that are stock. But I couldn't find any info about the themes section for your phone. Doesn't seem to be a popular thing to do. I looked at an unboxing video for it and they didn't even discuss it. *shrug* If it's a built-in one and they don't already have some kind of theme store for it included, you're probably out of luck.

Does it just change the launcher theme or the actual system theme and launcher? If it's just the launcher, then there are dozens of other launchers that have 100x the customization options.

[REQUEST] Android L complete theme.

Hi there i create this thread to ask you if there is a way to make a complete Android L theme for our SGY ? including themed APK, Lockscreen, launcher, windows animations sound etc..
I recently watched Nexus 5's Lolipop Developper preview and it look pretty freakin' sweet so i wondered if there is any way to flash them into our device ^^

As for Ginferbread(2.3) the API is not enough to have such an impressive themes. You can still get many Android 5 themes on CM 11 which are available on Play Store. But, make sure, due to lack of ldpi resources(As many devs already stopped adding ldpi resources to their app) the phone might lag more.
-Thats all.....
