Material Design PalettesPicking out the right color palette for your design can be a bit tricky. I normally just buy a bunch of colorful parrots from my local pet store so I can bring them home and run them through a blender. Then I just arrange the feathers and see what looks nice.
There are easier ways of doing this, it turns out. While there are many great websites that you can visit to create color pallets, sometimes it's more convenient to use an app on your Android phone. That's where the "Material Design Palettes" app comes in. You can generate different color palettes and preview how they would look in a design.'
Features:
- Android UI conventions: Color palettes, file format, structure & guidelines.
- Save your design. Create your own gallery and compare.
- Selectors for the intensity of the color. Including colorPrimary, colorPrimaryDark, colorPrimaryLight and colorAccent.
- Selector for Light, Dark and Light with Dark ActionBar. The rest of the colors should fall into place accordingly.

Lucid Colors
Lucid Colors is unlike most drawing apps as it focuses on providing an environment for creative drawings and invoking imagination for unique pieces of art. It includes creative features such as mirror modes and many other effects. One very unique effect that sets this app apart from any other is it's ability to use audio input such as the microphone or playing music, to manipulate effects. Although it's main focus is not on general drawing, it still contains many features you'd find in a normal drawing app. For example it provides quick image editing from external images and layers.

Thought it would be cool if we shared our favorite CM12 Themes, please post links to Google Play (if applicable) or the XDA Thread. And of course screen shots!
Here's my top 3:
1) Flux: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flux.theme.flux
2) Mianogen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tung91.mianogen
3) Saturn: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siddheshpatil.blackhand.saturncm12
Flux is gorgeous but there are small bugs because of the dark backgrounds (ex: calculator). Mianogen has been one of my favorite themes for over a year now, very minimalistic but the slight changes made to Material Design are very nice. Saturn is a new one I've been using, relatively basic blue but I enjoy it.

This theme is the only reason I am interested in loading the CM12 ROM. Being a 1st time ROM user, though, I'm very hesitant to go beyond simply rooting my phone and using G3Tweaksbox.
Beautiful theme...the same developer has similar ones for CM11, too, and they're equally sweet.

Howdy, chumps. Before you get going on designing an Android app, it's important to know what kind of resources are available. Many people head straight to AI and just start designing from the ground up without knowing about all the amazing recourses available from Google. These recourses are going to focus only on the Graphical UI aspect of the app. So if you came here looking for technical stuff, I'm calling the cops.
While these are supposed to help you get started on your app design, they're also just a great source of free graphics, fonts and templates that can be used for anything.
I'm not saying you'll be a millionaire overnight but it can happen a lot sooner than you think.

Material Design Guidelines
So if you're wanting to embrace the material design standard to make your app look beautiful, this is where you start. The guideline will reference everything that you need to know to make your app look just as good as one from Google.
Icon Library
The icons library contains every icon that you would find within the stock Android system UI. They're great looking icons that you can use for anything. Download the .zip file that contains all of the icons because that's going to come in very handy as you begin to design your app.
Device Metrics
If you ever need to reference the exact size and resolution of a specific android device, this is where you will go. This section is always be updated with the newest devices and their deimensions.
Roboto & Noto fonts
Roboto is the default font for material design. If you want everything to look great without taking time to search through thousands of fonts, just use Roboto as your default. It will also tell you when to use white or black colored fonts.
Sticker sheets & icons
Here you'll find "stickers" which are basically premade graphical interfaces pieces. Everything from volume sliders to shadow effects can be downloed for free. This will help you put together a mockup of what you want your app to look like. Everything will be compatible with Adobe Illustrator which is most likely what you'll be working with most of the time.
Color Palette
Bookmar this page because you'll be coming back here a lot. This is the material design color palette. Pretty much any assortment of colors from this page will look good together.
There is so much more in Google's design resource site that it's basically a wonderland full of goodies. But if you're just starting out, use these sections to get going. You can also check out all the other great stuff that have at design.google.com/resources
Common Android Design Mistakes
You might just be getting started with your wireframe or you could be putting the finishing touches on your design and something just doesn't look right. It's not looking how you imagined it in your head. You had this colorful and elegant UI in mind but then after putting everything together it looks like dumpster garbage. If this sounds familiar then you could be making one of these common design mistakes. Let's have a look.
Color Scheme
Take a look at these two images. The one on the left looks perfect while the one on the right makes me want to stick my face in a blender. But why do they look so different when the colors used are so similar? Well those who understand color theory are rolling their eyes right now thinking "That's easy." but not all of us are good at this sort of thing. That's ok, you don't have to be.

The reason the one on the left looks so much better than the one on the right is because it is using the color guidelines given to us by Google. The Material design color palette is made so that any of the colors from their selection will look good together.
This problem has an easy fix. Checkout the material design color palette here. You can download the color swatch and use it in AI or PS. Use only colors selected from the one on the palette.
Check out this video which explains why these colors work so well when designing for Android.
Typography
Once again we see the sample on the left looks beautiful and the sample on the right makes me want to get a divorce... and I love my wife a lot! The one on the left is using the Roboto typeface that is modified specifically for Android. The right image is using Times New Roman which is designed for print and not digital interfaces.
You don't have to use Roboto but if you're having a hard time making everything look right, then it's a good place to start. Download the Roboto font here.
The other part that people tend to get wrong is the positioning, saturation and size of their font. Believe it or not these things matter a lot! Luckily for us, just like with color theory, we don't need to be experts. It's all explained step by step on the Google design website.
Google Design Typography
I would read through that article and then give this video a quick watch.
Icons
The other thing that might be making your design look like a bad scrapbook project is the icons. Your first instinct might be to look up an icon set, find one that looks pretty, implement it into your design and there ya have it! All done! Nope.
You see, half the time the user doesn't care that your icon is 3D and sparkles when you press it. Icons should blend in with your UI, not stick out like a sore thumb. Take a look at this image.
Some people would choose the icon on the right because they think it's more interesting. Then the app their putting together will look stupid and nobody will download it. Not even their mom.
Take a look at this free icon set from Google.
You don't have to use this one but it's a great design, it's free, it has every icon you would need and... actually I changed my mind. You do have to use this one. At least until your app is nice and polished. Then you can go back and tweak some things to add some personality.
Google System Icons
These are some of the easiest design aspects to get wrong. Follow the guides that have been linked here and stick to them. You'll have all your problems sorted out in no time.
I am opening this thread to allow everyone to have access to the best ZTE Locker daily collection wallpapers. This is particularly important if like me you forgot to save a favorite wallpaper - they together removed the following day.
To save a wallpaper you just tap on the heart symbol and then move it to the MFVKeyguard folder by saving it as a favorite.
I have attached some of my favorites.

One picture I missed is a picture of the palace from the wallpaper below but from a different perspective. I would appreciate if you could post it!

Very nice selection! :good:
Hey, I'm sorry if this might be a bit off-topic but since this thread is about ZTE Locker it's probably the best opportunity I'll have to bring this up. (without cluttering up the forum with a new thread)
tl;dr - I suggest some MiFavor UI improvements
So, if you use ZTE Locker that's great and all, but all pics are different.
And in cases such as the one I have attached, the clock is not clearly visible, nor are the icons at the bottom.
And with your launcher, it samples your set wallpaper for a hue and alters the MiFavor QuickSettings background based upon that. But, this can lead to some... questionable results. For example, if I were to set my wallpaper to something that is primarily yellow, ZTE is put in a dilemma.
White on bright yellow isn't really readable, so they'd have to use a darker shade. But have you ever seen dark yellow?
It's one nasty ass color. (look up #888800)
And I know different people have different color tastes, but there's still certain colors and combinations that are considered unfavorable. Yay for color theory!
So, with yellow they'd probably be best off using black text and icons.
But a color like purple is usually thought of as a deep color (though lavender is nice too) so they can stick with the white icons and text.
Ultimately, it's probably best to give the user to decide whether to use the dynamic view or to set their own color manually.
I just feel like ZTE is very new to the UI scene. But, I'm not a fan of ditching MiFavor for completely stock Android. I think ZTE has something to bring to the table. They just need to work on their color sampling and maybe make some UI adjustments based on the user's preferences.
Anyhow, that's my 2 cents
Definitely one of my favorites!
Definitely kept me smiling for the rest of the day

i just found 3 new wallpapers, thank you
I have about 70 of them on my phone
Also, I did a reverse image search on one and found they steal them from other sites.
It seemed like a handful were on a photo of the week thing on usatoday.com but I can't remember
Can anyone upload a compressed (doesn't compress much I know) archive of the ZTE wallpapers? Ever since I unlocked my bootloader it no longer loads for me, it just says weak signal no matter what. I don't know if it's a coincidence and there's something wrong with their server or if it won't allow modified systems to connect.
Here's a few more from yesterday
