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,
Here is my first theme. This is mostly to pimp out the status/notification bar on the droid 2. The zip file contains instructions. Mostly just a bunch of stuff ive/found stolen from other themes and some elements of my own. Let me know how you like it. The services.jar replacement can be dangerous so you should know what youre doing. The theme itself should be ok. You will need Metamorph and root of course.
Current version: 0.7 - Download Here

new version.. 0.7
some new icons/updates
looks awesome!! thank you!!!!
im going to be moving support for this theme over to the VZW 2.4.5 (and eventually newer) roms. version 0.7 will be the last one for the default droid 2 rom. ill leave it around for those who want it. version 0.8 for vzw 2.4.5 coming soon.

really id just need the white text but im really not confident in my ability to do it and the majority om these talk about deodexing and i just dont understand enough about the OS to do much outside of a simple step by step.

The letters and clock mostly. the images are all in a dark grey that would be tough to see so it would be nice to have all the icons(3G, vibrate, silent, battery, signal bars, text message and email) done in a white/light grey as well. I understand that is a bit tougher to do. I could make the images if I could rip the current ones off my phone and just use photoshop to change the colors then repackage and install. but I dont know how to rip, repackage or install. so I just wanted to use his method with icons I would make, assuming this is possible.

if you give me the images i can prolly make an installer for you, but you should maybe enhance your knowledge on this stuff first before you try to do it as these things can be dangerous.

It is possible however you would have to have a theme to work with first. You would then decompile the APK using a tool such as APK manager or you can open the apk directly using something like Winrar or similar. You can then navigate to the folder of "drawable-hdpi" which inside the "res" folder. This is where all the pngs are held.
well i was gonna release v0.8 for the green 2.5 vzn rom by angdroid, but i like the looks of that fission rom that they are working on.. maybe ill do 0.8 as planned and do 0.9 for fission once they are done with it.
fission seems nice and clean
I Noticed that many developers are including the new Rotary Lockscreen in the recent roms that have been released, and thought I would create a thread entirely devoted to Custom Lockscreen Mods for our device. I don't claim to be a developer or themer, but however noted that we have some of the best themers and developers in the Vibrant thread so thought I would start a thread for those who would like to share some themed Lockscreen Mods. I have extracted several settings apk's from several roms and noted that they do work or are compatible with different roms. This thread in no way seeks to minimize the hard work of those developers who have included Rotary Lockscreens in their roms, but only seeks to stir up the creative juices of others who may want to share some of their work. Thanks!! Credit goes to Whitehawx & Hoey2011 for making this possible on our devices. Heres hoping that they will continue to bring their creativity to this thread along with other themers and their themed lockscreen mods.
Thanks to Whitehawx for getting this working on our device and shout out to Hoey2011 for these Lockscreen themes and Brick'd, RobZarzecki and others who supported this. More to Come in different colors and flavors! Stay Tuned!!
Hot Screenies
1st waves of morphs compliments of Hoey 2011. Flash with Metamorph and should be all good. NOTE: The star wars mod may not work after you apply this but the other 5 lockscreens work without a hitch. This is the 1st wave of morphs and all glitches that are found will be worked out accordingly. Whatever theme you are using should not be affected as shown in screenies using Danny Doans Theme with Hoey2011 themed Lockscreen with Rotary. Enjoy and Be on the lookout for more soon!

Yo RobZ im going to post a couple of framework apks and possibly a couple of those setting apks that we discovered works on particular roms just to get it started a little im still contacting a few people to just make sure its ok. Thanks to brickd he okd to post his saturated grey rotary framework and going to check with others also. Its nice to be able to change out lockscreens according to personal pref if compatible. Imagine if someone could develop a lockscreen changer this would be the business!
Hello everyone! Hmmm where to begin. I have done a little poking around regarding adding additional shortcuts to the rotary. I for one would like to have it show missed calls/texts on the center piece and you swing one way or the other to shortcut to it.
Something another dev in the fascinate forums PM'd me about was using the rotary to answer/decline calls. That would be freakin awesome. I'm going to be investigating this as I think it might actually be easier to do than what I said above.
Jcc, I like your idea for an app that can change out colors/themes/ect on the lockscreens. I'm going to do some talking with Roman later to see if we can't work something out for this (he's the java/app expert ).
I do have some other lockscreens I'd like to port over, including the multilock from CM and the iFail...err... i mean iPhone slider lockscreen. No promises on anything though. Anywho, its time to vape!
Whitehawx, I am using Axura 2.3 and when I flashed it the rotary lockscreen didn't appear in my list. I flashed it again and themed it with Gen x red and it still didn't show up. I wanted the rotary look so bad that I found the one attached in the market. Its called GOTO LOCK. If you look at it, I can roll the arrow to the right and hover over sms (my handcent) and it will preview my messages and the same for phone calls and my gmail. It also shows the number of each if any are waiting. Allows me to customize background as well. On the box up top it allows me to silence ringer, vibrate or turn ringer on and a few more gadgets as well. I think if you could incorporate something like this into rotary it would take it to the next level!
BTW...any idea why the rotary lockscreen didn't show up with the rom?
Thanks.

Hmmm I am unsure why the mod would not work, but doesn't Axura 2.3 come with the rotary lockscreen already? Flashing my mod should work, but you would lose all of your theming, ect. Seems odd that it wouldn't work though.

I dont know. Strange. Right after I flashed and went to into settings, display and unlock screen, it only shows the 4 options. Rotary is not even there. I didnt want to lose the theming from my Gen x red theme so that's why I downloaded the one from the market.

Hey guys, I made a little mod of the rotary lockscreen for bionix V 1.2.1, based on the GingerBlue theme. Therefore, when you flash this zip, you will have a blue themed phone, only for what framework-res touches. There are no changes to tw-framework, so that apk is not included.
This is a clockwork flashable, and it clears your dalvik cache, so it takes ~3-4 minutes to reboot after flashing it. I was a bit worried because of how long I was having to wait after flashing, but then I realized I have 200+ apps, and that makes rebuilding the dalvik-cache a little time consuming. Screenshots included, here's the link to the mod:
http://www.4shared.com/file/ryMYzZYU/HoeyBWRotary.html
If there's enough interest in this sort of thing, I'll take whatever lockscreen ports there are to handle, and make them customizable for our Vibrants I'm a themer, not a coder heh heh
Edit: I suggest trying this with a black and blue theme, because that's what I designed this little inspiration after. the jog icons are black and transparent, not black and blue like the screenshots suggest, it's just the blue smoke from the wallpaper.
I added a space wallpaper to demo a little better the way it looks
EDIT #19390487: I will consider making these theme a Metamorph simply for the possibility of avoiding replacing the entire framework-res.apk . Metamorph may make it possible to avoid the time-consuming flash/dalvik-cache wipe process I am using now for the theme. Then again, everything has room for improvement, including this mod! Keep in mind, this is a *rough* draft of an idea, and the idea was made specifically for me. If you don't like it, then throw up some suggestions. I will give folks a run down in a separate thread from this, so you can have an idea of what I can change and the effects it will have. That way, this thread can stay open to new *actual* modifications, rather than just aesthetic ones. So basically, I am going to take what progress comes from here, and theme it to gooey goodness. I have a simplistic stylistic preference, but you all may not!
Where exactly are lockscreen-containing files located within the ROM?

Edit: I suggest trying this with a black and blue theme, because that's what I designed this little inspiration after. the jog icons are black and transparent, not black and blue like the screenshots suggest, it's just the blue smoke from the wallpaper.
I added a space wallpaper to demo a little better the way it looks

Where exactly are lockscreen-containing files located within the ROM?

Hoey dang that lockscreen is sweet!!thanks for joining the discussion. I'm going test this baby out. It looks Great. Please feel free to Share some of your Lockscreen mods. That's why I started the thread because I believe themers such as yourself as well as others could post the hotness!
@ Oxirane It's either the Framework_res.apk or The Setting.apk and using root explorer you can copy it in systems/framework directory and if you use the setting.apk you can copy it in Systems/Apps folder. It's funny though because I've discovered that on some roms the framework_res.apk file changes the lockscreen, and on others all you have to do is push Settings apk to Systems/Apps. Maybe someone could expound on it for us. Make sure before you push any file with rootexplorer on your phone. SAVE your original files so that if something goes haywire you can just recopy those files as it will give you back your original look before the push. You could also just flash a rom with it already on it also. Hope this makes sense! Chime back if it works for you.
Update: Unable to download from dropbox its giving a error message. Could you post the Mod here in the thread. Thanks.
originally posted an earlier version in SimpleStreak thread. In case anyone missed it. just themed a few .png's to give the Streak some flair. themed for mdpi and hdpi, screenshots are mdpi @ 160 dpi. Also reurn to stock .zip available.
Well, my other project: working on an extended power menu is kaput. reboot recovery, not going to happen anytime soon, and just a reboot option would be very difficult, makes just pushing the power button seem so much easier now.
Anyways: next projext: Honeycomb themed DeskClock! Cheers!
Thanks for the theme. It looks like this zip is a bit different from the original in the SimpleStreak thread? I have attached a screenshot of my phone with the original from that thread, used on Stock 351.
actually, I think I originally only focused on one res either mdpi or hdpi, I forget, but yeah it is updated and I themed the running applications tab as well.
nice screenie, looks like you have a 7+"streak,
oh and BTW: yesterday I went back to 2.2 deleted install-recovery.sh before rebooting, and still no luck, I know I have done it once before on like streakdroid 1.4.6, but my idea of an extended power menu would be a little too involved for me. I'll be more than happy to just power down normally.

I just stitched the screenshots together with IrfanView, it has a create panorama feature I used to give an overview of the entire menu without duplication.
Wow, looks great! Thanks for sharing!
I did have a moments pause to figure out what to do with the ZIP file. (Just flash ZIP with StreakMod recovery). I had it unzipped, looking through the META-INF, saying WTF in my head... Then I guess I wised up.
Any way you can theme up a transparent notifications tray for SimpleStreak?
Good looking stuff. Anyway you can make a transparent notification tray for SD1.9.1?
sure ,not sure which one you are referring to, post a screenshot and circle it. thanks.
We would like at this point the transparent theme for Settings.apk, missing only one
sure, just post which screen you cant make transparent and I'll have a look.
So, I'm working on my first theme. I started with the In Paris theme.zip available in the In Paris thread. Part of which I'm trying to include battery % icons - basing it from hooolm's great glow themes. This would be for the great In Paris rom. I have everything on my theme working except the battery icons (most of the work is in SystemUI). They just don't show up in the corner of the status bar.
I've added all the icons to res/drawable-xlarge-mdpi. The drawable/stat_sys_battery, _charge, and _usb_charge xml's are appropriate, again thanks hooolm!
I've successfully done this mod on my phone before. I know there must be one little thing I am missing, but for the life of me can't pinpoint. I'm guessing it must be an xml edited by task
/phantom, but can't figure out which one.
I've attached the framework-res I've been working on. Can anyone lend a helping hand to a noob themer (hey we all had to start somewhere )
Edit: I've attached the final zip. Try it out if you like. Mixture of I1n Paris theme, hoolms glow theme and a few things of my own.
the Framework-res file all looks good
how did you pakage it up and flash it to you tab as there is a specific way or it will not flash properly ?
It's packaged with systemUI.apk as a flashable zip. Flashes well. All the systemUI stuff took. No FC's or anything. Only problem is the battery icons don't show up on the status bar, notification panel.
I got the icons from hooolm's glow theme, they show up there - but breaks the power menu.
Attached the original framework from hooolm's theme to see how he set it up.
Ok, I think I've figured out the problem. It's in the drawable/stat_sys_battery, _charge, and _usb_charge xml's. I was taking them out of hooolm's theme and putting them into my own. My procedure was to:
Open archive in 7zip
Extract xml's to desktop
Open up new archive for new theme
Copy extracted xml's into new archive
I tried editing the decompiled (using apkmanager) then recompiling in apkmanager, but it kept giving me an error- I don't know why.
So, the finished product, the code isn't 'sticking'. It looks like this:
item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_0" android:maxLevel="0" />
<item android:drawable="@17303097" android:maxLevel="1" />
<item android:drawable="@17303107" android:maxLevel="2" />
<item android:drawable="@17303117" android:maxLevel="3" />
Instead of each line being like "0", I get those numbers.
Any help?
If I get some time tomorrow ill get it working for you bro. I was already planning on getting a percentage battery into my next release for "In Paris v6". Hoping to release over the weekend.
Hey, I'd appreciate it task. But now it's become a challenge to learn a bit more about this stuff. I don't know what in the heck I'm doing wrong that those xml files aren't copying over and saving correctly. I'm sure I'm missing something stupid.
My noobness is showing. I'm getting an error in apk manager whenever I try to recompile the framework-res.apk. Decompiles fine, but won't recompile.
Bazar617 is helping get this into my theme, once it is feel free to snag it up

Thanks! It's in hooolm's theme, I'm just having trouble moving it over to task's In Paris theme. The xml's won't save properly, it's weird.
I got the battery to work, but broke the power menu.

Sweet. Can't wait for version 6
Ok, I think I got it working. Haven't found any bugs yet...
It's pretty much a mixture of the In Paris theme and hoolms theme. A few of my own things mixed into it. I've attached the zip if anyone wants to try it.
Thanks to hoolms and task and phantom.
Hmm, tried it on my P7500 with overcome rom on it, resulted in a bootloop. Thnx for the effort so far though, been looking for a simple percentage battery mod for my beloved tab

Amazing work, tallgrasshawk. Using this right now on In Paris v5 and havent found any issues yet.

You could probably just pull it out of the theme.zip. That would be my latest one, I haven't worked on it since I put the theme out here.
My systemUI was almost entirely hooolm's work (kudos to him) with some changed .pngs on my end.
So is anyone theming the 8.4? I tried installing the S6 Theme Engine and it didn't work. Really cannot stand the bright colors of TouchWiz. Was wondering if anyone knew of a Dark theme for it. Something that takes care of stuff like the Settings Page, Notification Drop down and others. I'm using Apex Launcher but the TouchWiz background stuff is still there. Even like Dark Google Play, Gmail. Chrome Etc.
Team Black Out does all the apps...but no themes yet...check custom roms..theres a CM12 out I think

Im running Iron Rom...its great! Then. Use Wannan and Xposed to do your colors..that's one way

I've used all the Roms. IronRom and Liquid are the only ones that aren't corrupted for some reason. I wish I didn't have to leave LiquidSmooth because its soo flawless, Except for the big flaw of A2DP Bluetooth not functioning. I'm currently on IronRom which is why I am asking since TW looks like pure .... well I can't say it on the forum and I tried to use Wannan and Xposed to change colors but it isn't working. I can move the clock over and what not, But as for the colors of the Drop down at least.... They wont change. I'm backing it up right now to go back to LiquidSmooth to try a different Kernel. But my issue is the Bluetooth, It must be working Flawless with music. And lots of people across the Android Platform are having issues with Lollipop and Bluetooth.
I would love a full Blackout Theme for Google Apps, The Drop Down and settings to make TW look like AOSP. And then I can use Apex to skin the launcher the best way I need it.

I'm not sure if you have rooted your device (although it seems like you have). Also I'm not sure how technically apt you are but you can theme the Touchwiz settings and some of the system UI yourself by following these instructions:
(Guide) How To Theme Touchwiz 5.0 [SystemUI] [SecSettings.apk] DIY
Also the advise of using the Lollipop apps from Team Blackedout is correct. I use the Youtube Blackedout version and turn off Google Play updating for that specific app in the Playstore settings. I have not had as much luck getting the other Lollipop Google apps installed such as Gmail. I need to spend more time figuring out that issue.
As the Team Blackedout web site no longer has links to the apks you need to use their app for the downloads (scroll down that link for the app). I just use that app to select and download but not to flash for my own specific reasons but that is up to you. No matter what take a backup and follow their instructions for each app to the letter. Clearing out the Google supplied app can be tricky as in some cases the apk name is not clear such as "base.apk" instead of "gmail.apk" while the directory name is a better indicator.
Even though I have a Tab S 10.5 the instructions are not 10.5 specific. I'm still experimenting and chipping away at the status bar colors. I have also done things a bit different than in the post I linked to above. I wanted to make it easier to quickly apply themes when the OS is upgraded or I grow tired of some colors. Now matter what the post will get you the dark Touchwiz settings you desire.
I attached a few pictures to prove some theming success.
Oh wow. I'll read through it. I'm really interested now. Thanks.
and yes I am rooted. I've been through all the roms and the only ones that seem to work on my device is IronRom which is TW and LiquidSmooth which is AOSP. And my main function for my tablet is bluetooth audio, LS has a massive issue with it. IR does not.
***EDIT*** Ok, Attempting to follow those guides but I'm lost. SystemUI doesn't decompile at all, and Settings goes about half way. I tried just by turning the APK into a Zip and extracting the files and things aren't adding up. I can see images, like the icons in the systemui drop down... but can't figure out the colors, like the Blue background of the dropdown... I can prob live with everything the same color except changing the background to black. Settings, I believe would just need to change the background of the blue and white both to black, and then change the color of the text to white. And that one is a lil more descriptive. But I decided to try SystemUI first and it is not going, at all.
Maybe its the way I'm copying the APK's over? I'm using ESFileExplorer to make backups. I try to locate the APK's directly to copy them but I cannot find them.

A couple of comments. Please reread all the posts by the original author. You must have a working decompile/rebuild environment (apktool). If you are a MS-Windows user there is a link to Advanced Apk tool which provides everything you need in one package. I'm a Linux users so had to cobble together a few tools to get a equivalent tool set. If you could not decompile I suspect you have not installed the framework-res for apktool to use. I did this my first time as I did not read the apktool web site instructions as I should have.
So far I've had no problem recompiling/rebuilding SystemUI.apk and SecSettings.apk. I have had no luck modifying framework-res.apk which unfortunitely holds the notifications text colors and why I only have grayed backgrounds on notifications. Note that when framework-res.apk does not work your device's UI is borked and you need to rebuild your system or do a nandroid restore. So make sure you take a nandroid or Flashfire system backup and tread carefully.
When you have used apktool to rebuild your apk you must flash the new apks. A flash file template is provided in the first few posts of that thread. Use either Flashfire or a custom recovery or some other flashing tool to install the new apk(s). Using that template I created a theme recovery flash file containing the original SystemUI, SecSecurity and framework-res apks. It has come in hand a time or two. Do not replace an existing apk with a root enabled File Browser you are more likely to break your system than anything else. Your modifying essential system components not an app and those components are being used while your changing them, not good.
I would suggest further discussions be continued in the thread I mentioned. You would get more experienced and wider range of people responding to your theming questions. Reading that whole thread would also include seeing mistakes and solutions others have posted.

Hello, I was curious if you had found anything yet? Also, do you have a SM-T700? I hate the bright stuff on this device.
A few how to's on how to skin touchwiz. Or go to a aosp rom. I skinned some of my rom but gave up going all the way through it.
