G Theme 3
Click me for Video Promo
t's back!!! This is G Theme 3. Why G Theme you ask? Well I think you can figure that out when you use it what it's all about. This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! G Theme 3 is a dark theme with beautiful colors and designs throughout it. The Dark Notifications compliment the ui and battery life! This theme supports adaptive icons and I recommended choosing circle which is unlocked as a feature and can be accessed from going into the settings application and then going into display, home and choose the icon shape. Due to this the music app does have a light overlay at the bottom which is a bug that LG should address!!! For real LG fix that will ya.
Now this is the important part. This theme is only for LG devices running UX 6, Android 8.0 Oreo. If you are running a different LG UX or android version this will not work and if you upgrade from the above this theme may not work properly. It is presented on an "as is basis". I do my best to try and update to allow for the theme to function on all devices as best I can and as soon as I can. However due to LG's interesting update cycle sometimes one device may update prior to others.
To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select Twilight, and push apply! then reboot and then reapply the theme again. It's a bit more in depth than other themes but given the complexity of this premium theme it is required for all elements to be themed properly.
That's it! Simple, easy and quick.
The theme comes with a coral wallpaper but if you'd like to have it animated simply grab this add on and set it as a live wallpaper and you'll be all set. Since most Lg Devices don't support seamless wallpapers just download this and install it and set as your live wall and enjoy!
Live Wallpaper right Here!!!
Please note that refunds will not be given for installations on non UX 6 (running Oreo) Devices. As the title of the theme clearly indicates which device this is for and this app description does specify which OS version is supported..
This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution, with the lowest stock setting for the actual display size. Larger sizes may cause some elements to look slightly off. If this happens please lower the display sizes of the iconography.
If you run into any issues please send me an email directly instead of leaving a poor rating. Often I am very quick to reply and great to solve any issues. The review system is not meant to be a support channel!
Thank you so much for your support and I hope you enjoy this theme. I've worked extremely hard on this and by far it was the most challenging and time consuming project I've ever made!
Twilight
See bottom of description for Quick Settings and Dialer Add-on Patches!
This is Twilight an LG Home+ theme for your LG V20, G6, V30, G5 running Oreo only (Pie is not yet supported!!!) This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! Twilight is a dark theme with bright gradient accents throughout. This theme does not support adaptive icons as some of the key features of this theme are blocked by enabling the adaptive icons. If you'd prefer adaptive you will need to use a 3rd party launcher like Hyperion.
3rd party Quick Settings Icons:
Some apps allow the user to add a shortcut activity to the quick settings panel. This is not supported by this theme whatsoever. If you decided to add any icons to your quick settings panel they will not show up. They will be 100% transparent. They cannot be added. If this bothers you then in a future update I will make an add-on quick settings patch that will add usability back for them, however it will sacrifice the creativity of the current structure of both styles of available quick settings icons. It will be more minimal and all the icons will be the same color like how most themes are. Due to the complexity and advanced nature of this theme this is something that I am aware of and have embraced 100%.
To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select Twilight, and push apply!
Please note that refunds will not be given for installations on non LG V20, G6, V30, G5 Oreo Devices. The title of the theme clearly indicates which device this is for and the description also specify which OS version is supported..
This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution, with the lowest stock setting for the actual display size. Larger sizes may cause some elements to look slightly off. If this happens please lower the display sizes of the iconography.
If you run into any issues please send me an email directly instead of leaving a poor rating. Often I am very quick to reply (unless I'm sleeping and you're in a different time zone) and great to solve any issues. The review system is not a direct support channel!
Quick tip... Search and install the app "Quick Shortcut Maker" on google play. Install, then set a 1x1 quick shortcut maker widget and drag it on your home screen. Then in the activities tab, scroll down to "Themes", expand it. touch 1st option at the top of the list that doesn't have and upwards arrow. Hit Create" button at the bottom and now you have a themes app shortcut.
This theme as you can see from the screen previews shows two different styles of Quick Settings icons. This is because I designed both styles and had a tough time deciding on which ones to go with so I decided to make them both. Minimum are default. If you wish to change them simply install the corresponding patch to the style that you want. After you've installed the patch, apply the default LG theme. Then reboot and reapply the theme. If you wish to change back the original style you can repeat the above process using the other patch. I've uploaded and clearly labeled both patches. They can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288986
There is also a patch for the V20/G5 and G6/V30 for the dialer. Because these devices have a different screen resolution I could not make a universal round dialer app. I had to make it just plain black by default but you can install a patch for it as well. These are in the same folder as the quick settings add-ons in the above link. To apply them follow the same steps. V20/G6 Dialer: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288982
V30/G6 Dialer: ttps://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288984
Thank you so much for your support and I hope you enjoy this theme. I've worked extremely hard on this and by far it was the most challenging and time consuming project I've ever made!
Pixel Experience Dark
Welcome to the dark side. This is Pixel Experience Dark! Including dark notifications! I'm really proud of this and how it turned out! Please take the time to read the app description as there is some important information in there for your benefit which will help you get the best experience out of this theme! Also in the description are optional patches which are theme specific!
So go get it and please drop me a quick rating and if you'd also be so kind to give this a quick share too that would be great!

Hey Guys, It's me again. I figured it would be easiest and more organized if I made my own thread here so that I can offer support and obtain user feedback on my themes. I am not here to sell my work whatsoever and that is not the purpose of this thread. Posts regarding updates are strictly for the purposes of obtaining feedback on what I do. and to see if users are pleased with said changes. I will never post a direct link to anything I make that is paid as that is not allowed
First things first to any mods who may be peeping it is important to note that I am complying with xda rules and there are zero paid direct links posted anywhere in this thread by me. So there are no rules being violated. Rule 11 states that I can use xda to get user feedback on paid applications and that is what this thread is for so I am well within rule 11 which can be found here:
11. Don?t post with the intention of selling something.
Don?t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you?re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if both of the following conditions are met:
A) The site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership, who actively maintains an XDA-Developers support thread(s) / posts, related to the download.
B) The site is a relatively small, personal website without commercial advertising / links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
Be sure to follow me on google plus to stay up to date and get additional theme information regarding updates and other testing and feedback.
So this thread is for all those who are using any of my themes where we can come discuss things, give feedback and post screens etc of what I've been working on. I will continue to add new themes and post screens of my work here and interact with all of you. I ask that you be civil to myself and other members and keep any feedback constructive.
nXt
Welcome to the nXt experience. This is unlike any other theme with designs no other designer has even attempted. You will notice that with this experience you have the illusion of a slightly rounded edge screen running from the top to bottom. You'll notice that not even the navigation or status bar interferes with this. This is an in your face theme with dark tones and rich blue accents. It is accompanied by rich icons with an exaggerated material edging and shading yet it still remains clean and in your face.
I have included an overlay for the LG stock Calculator app. However there are a few hoops to jump through should you wish it to be themed. If you're using a version of the LG Calculator please uninstall it and then install this one here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634796912
On stock theme this will not be affected but if you use nXt then you'll have the app icon themed as well as the text color for history corrected. Please note that LG does not normally allow this application to be themed.
Aurora
Aurora is the follow up to G Theme (see below!!!). I was inspired by watching a show on Netflix in which every so often the camera would pan to show the Northern lights and that gave way to this idea. The results is my interpretation via theme design. I hope you like it!
G Theme
G Theme Dark
G theme is a Googley style theme with some added flair and bright icons! You will experience some fun animations and lots of visually stimulating elements
Screenshots
Rain
This is Rain, an LG Home+ theme for your LG G8, LG V40, LG V50 running Android 9. This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! Rain is a dark theme with some bright gradient accents throughout. The Dark Notifications compliment the ui and battery life! The app icons have a slight gradient to them, with some more noticeable than others. This theme does not support adaptive icons as some of the key features of this theme are blocked by enabling the adaptive icons. If you'd prefer adaptive you will need to use a third party launcher like Hyperion or Nova.
No need to run a third party theme system any more, just use the system theme chooser and you can enjoy all the benefits of an advanced theme system.
To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select Rain, and push apply! then reboot and then reapply the theme again. It's a bit more in depth than other themes but given the complexity of this premium theme it is required for all elements to be themed properly. Also it is not recommended to "Hide the second screen/notch"'. This may cause some system apps to look odd.
That's it! Simple, easy and quick.
This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution, with the lowest stock setting for the actual display size. Larger sizes may cause some elements to look slightly off. If this happens please lower the display sizes of the iconography.
Now for the only part that real matters!!!! Screenshot all the thingies!
Enjoy!!!

Instructional video on how to apply Alpha, see below
You will need ADB installed on your pc: Right here
You will also need the substratum app as well as the Andromeda app and the Desktop client for Andromeda
This thread is for support and feedback for my LG Substratum themes and legacy LG themes. with the update to 8.0 Oreo substratum is now supported without rooting your device. Due to the capabilities with Substratum all previous LG themes will be referred to as "Legacy themes" and the primary focus has shifted to Substratum. Since substratum can provide everything that an LG theme can provide and more it makes the most sense to evolve and transcend into the more advanced theming system.
So this is my first theme "Alpha". It has a double meaning and I feel is appropriate for this theme. Let's stop with the chit chat and post a few screenshots and if you're looking for a way to pass the time then keep reading! I promise you the literature doesn't get any better, but have at it!
Oh hey everyone! Again, I didn't see ya there. You just snuck right up on me now didn't ya bud. Well it's that time again. Another new beautiful LG device is upon us and I had to get it. So it must mean it's time for another fun theme discussion and feedback thread. Now I must get this next bit out of the way to make it clear what the purpose of this thread is. 1: I am not here to sell my work whatsoever and that is not the purpose of this thread. Posts regarding updates, screenshots or other communication are strictly for the purposes of obtaining feedback on what I do. and to see if users are pleased with said changes. 2: I will never post a direct link to anything I make that is paid as that is not allowed and I expect that as users you will not post links either.
My V20 and G6 threads are absolutely fantastic and I encourage you all to check it out at some point if you wish to see how I interact with people. I cannot thank you all enough who have supported me and given me feedback and interacted with me in any way to discuss things theme related. Don't be shy about commenting or giving suggestions or feedback provided it is constructive and is done in a mature and professional manner. Feel free to joke around a bit and have some fun. That's what it's all about anyway. It's a very positive and fairly active thread. Users often give me feedback which is incredibly valuable and also post pics of any bug fixes. That allows me to quickly address issues.

PixTerial
This is PixTerial. This theme is what happens when you combine Pixel Ui with some Material Design and add in some darkness! It's a very clean theme with subtle animations, with an inverted ui of the Pixel Ui. Now throw in some fresh and fun iconography and you have a beautiful theme to enjoy.
Remix Theme And Vector Theme
Remix was the very first theme by a third party non LG employee and I am very happy with the response it's received.[/SIZE]
I made Remix without even having the device which is pretty cool. I essentially worked completely blind on it and it turned out great I think. Remix isn't just a color flip hex change of stock theme. Hell anyone can do that! Remix is a dark theme with rich blue accents and tones throughout with a strong attention to the details that matter the most while still holding a minimal and clean look. It has hand drawn icons which were meticulously thought out to go great with your existing icons. No other theme has done this. With Remix you get quality and consistent updates and quick fixes when needed. Remix is fun, unique and original.
Here's some screen shots of the theme.

Vector Theme
Vector is a dark theme with red accents, tones and shadows throughout. Vector is a pixel perfect theme built with a strong emphasis on the vector drawable system. This means that all glyphs will look stunning and the attention to detail is exceptional. The highest quality of originally drawn images can only be found in Vector. You will not find anything like it anywhere else. Like Remix, Vector is the only other theme that has original hand drawn iconography throughout it with a material feel to it that can easily blend in with your regular icons. The details are like eye candy and something to show off to your friends. It is a premium theme that is bold, clean and unique. Vector pushes the envelope and experiments with things you simply won't find from other designers. Original concepts and ideas start here.

Welcome to my take on LG UI...dark! You love the stock feel and accents but something just isn't quite right. You need a bit of darkness to pick you up. What you see here is what you get.

Let your eyes guide you through the zest from the freshly grated oranges as you dabble into a marriage where darkness dances with the brightness of the fire. A premium theme aged to perfection with no added preservatives or gluten. You will find that only the freshest, high quality colors and elements have been meticulously chosen in order to provide you with the most dazzling experience. Open your eyes and take a trip like no other. This theme has been inspired by a long time friend and mentor Darryl Dillon. With his blessing I have attempted to recreate a few elements from his imagination and topped them off with my own twist!

Pixel Ui
Need a new theme??? ...............Like new new?
The world's first LG theme with true material keyboard new?
Welcome to Pixel Ui. This is my take on the Pixel color pallet. What you will find is the high standards and attention to the small details that you have come to expect from my designs. I believe I have preserved the look quite nicely in a soothing and all familiar style that deep down you have longed for. So let's transform your phone into something new.
This is not a 100% complete replica of every element of the Pixel as there are limitations to what can be done in a light theme. There are a few elements such as the quick settings that must remain light. I have pushed this theme as far as it can be pushed and no other designer would even attempt such a difficult style. You will also see the first ever material style keyboard on presented via LG keyboard. Many have attempted but not achieved the correct look. These high standards are what I set for myself to give you the best possible experience and the highest quality of themes and support.
Here's some screen shots of the theme.
Dark Nougat
Welcome to Dark Nougat. A crisp, dark nougat style theme with teal accents that is simply stunning. You will find exceptional attention to detail and just the right amount of darkness to be able to take in the shadows and depth of material design.
This is a dark material style theme for The LG system apps accented in a teal ensemble. You will find an incredibly refreshing crisp, clean look with a familiar material tone and stock nougat style icons to enhance your user experience. You can expect to see dark tones with subtle dark material accents throughout . Please keep in mind that this is only for LG System apps and does not support third party apps. If you wish to have third party apps themed you will need to use alternative methods.
Stock LG launcher is recommended for best results! Third party launchers may present issues with applying the icons.
Here's some screen shots of the theme.

I would love something as simple as colorizing the emoji icon subjects that are ontop the Google keyboard. Nevermind the red circles.
I prefer the clean/crisp looking themes, not the red/green/blued out themes. However, I still did purchase all of your themes.

Hello everybody, this is my first theme, and I hope it's a good enough product for XDA and the Streak 5 community!
I have been forced by circumstances to stop all hobby projects for some time, and unfortunately this includes this theme. If anyone has the time and wants to continue work on this theme, or just to make a theme starting from this one, he/she is free to do so, as long as the people I have thanked here in the thread as well as myself are credited. Once again, thank you _n0p_ for a good ROM and I apologize for leaving my work unfinished.
Before I start, I want to thank _2bad4u_, nickshertzer and tenorntex for letting me use PNG's from their MattedBlues theme, the original MattedBlues theme creators for their theme, Google for a much improved interface for Android after version 4.0, LG for their smart (IMO) mod of white popups and backgrounds, and _n0p_ most for the most complete ROM for Streak, and the best performing one. (_n0p_, if you could add longpress-back-key-to-kill-app functionality from CM in DSC, I'll owe you a big case of beer.)
NOTE
This theme is made for DSC (1.5 currently) running in MDPI Portrait. I didn't test extensively in Landscape, but so far I didn't find any bugs that weren't already there in Portrait, so I guess it's ok. I have NOT tested any other GB ROM, DSC version, or other DPI, and I DO NOT guarantee that it will work if you flash this theme on anything other than DSC 1.5.
Installation Instructions
I am a noob with the more complicated stuff, so I went for the simplest solution I could find. In post #3 are .zip files that contain the framework, systemui and settings app. Just flash the suitable zip using Streakmod Recovery and you're good to go. USE ONLY ONE ZIP. The difference between them is explained in the Bugs post.
DESCRIPTION
As some of you probably agree, stock GB looks like crap, stock ICS looks much better. So I started making a theme for DSC, my ROM of choice, that would fulfill (most of) my aesthetic and functional ideals. However, this is an ICS-inspired theme, not an attempt to replicate that interface style, so please don't ask me to copy ICS, because that's not what I'm trying to do. I follow my own guidelines (listed below) when doing this theme, and some of them are actually the opposite of stock ICS.
Main Features
Starting from the ICS look, I want the theme to have the following characteristics:
MDPI base, because on our device, in HDPI, a lot of apps take too much screen space with interface elements, and this lowers the amount of useful information on screen
All white popups (windows, dialogs, popup menus, toasts) with black text, because IMO black on white is easier to see in direct sunlight , given the same screen brightness and text size, and we don't have LED screens so the battery drain isn't any higher. Also, popups should be obvious and clearly visible, either because they were brought up by the user, or because they were brought up by Android and contain useful information
Blue text (on black) for titles, hints and other text that can't be interacted with (pressed, copied), to better distinguish from black or white text, that can be copied, pressed or otherwise interacted with
Clear text hierarchy: Main (application) title (largest), Category title (large), Main text, buttons (medium), subtext/note/description (small)
Secondary modifications
There is also a number of smaller scale modifications, that include but are not limited to
Bigger text on buttons, because MDPI makes it too small on our device
Bigger text in Recent Applications, because it takes up the whole screen anyway
Thin volume/seek bars, ICS Style, with handle (not in the Music app, because the app isn't themed)
Modded Settings app for ICS Icons
Modded Quick Toggles from the DSC ROM to suit the theme, added overscroll effect
Modded gradient background
ICS notification icons
New menu popup icons
Replaced radio buttons with check buttons, for consistency
Increased text size in popup menus to Medium (from small), decreased text size from the "more" popup menu to Medium (from large). (Why were they different in stock GB?? It's basically the same menu!)
Hidden the Notifications and Ongoing titles from Notifications (but not the separators), because they are useless, every Android user knows which is which, and the notifications are already full of text most of the time
more stuff I don't remember now but you'll find out!
SCREENSHOTS
KNOWN BUGS
I have modified quite a few things for this theme, so a few bugs are to be expected. Here are listed the known bugs, and below I attached screenshots.
1. The stock phone app has some trouble with backgrounds other than black, as far as I can tell. In the screenshots you see a black square behind the "call" icon in the call log. It can be fixed using a non-transparent icon that covers that entire space, but since I'm using exDialer (MIUI fan!) with the white ICS theme, this fix was low on my priority list. I will add it in a later version for those who want the stock phone app, but I recommend you use another dialer/contacts app if the theme is important, because I will not theme other apps than the ones already themed. I don't have a lot of time and I've already worked more than I wanted to do this theme.
2. The stock alarm clock app also has problems with the gradient background. The alarm times are not visible in portrait, only in landscape (it's visible in the screenshots). You can turn the alarms on and off, and if you press the bugged area where the alarm time used to be, it still takes you to the alarm edit screen, where there are no bugs, so it's only the alarm selection screen that has bugs. I won't be theming this app either, so again I suggest using a different alarm app if you want to have the gradient background.
3. The email app overlaps 1 bigger and 1 smaller activity title bar. I don't know why, and I haven't used the stock theme since I started working on this one to know if the problem was there before. Again, I won't be theming this app either, so there probably won't be any fixes coming from me.
4. Not really a bug, but in some apps the popup menus use some of their own icons and some of the icons from the framework you have installed. In most cases they won't be the same and will look like crap together, and there's no fix (that I know of) other than theming all the other apps (which I won't do). Below is a screenshot of the issue in Terminal Emulator.
5. Mismatched light bottom popup. I couldn't track down the problem, and now I won't be able to.
BUG FIXES
A fix for the clock and phone, for those who do not want to use alternate phone or clock apps, is to eliminate the gradient background and revert to the stock black background. Until I find an alternative fix, I will attach 2 zips for each release version, a black background and a gradient background. Other than that there is no difference between them.
BUG REPORTING
If you find a bug, either in stock apps or in other apps, and you are sure it's my theme that causes the problem and not a problem with the app itself, then please report here. A screenshot would be most helpful as well. Bugs include white on white, black on black or grey on grey text (popups aren't perfectly white, so white text could still be visible, and black text should be visible on grey popups)
Releases
Releases
Current version: 0.6b for DSC 1.5
v0.6b changelog:
-Grey panel_background png, used for USSD popup and Root Explorer permissions popup, for example, is now white
-minor color modifications
-bottom part of popup fixed
As stated in the Bugs post, "gradient_background_vXX.zip" is the full theme, while "black_background_vXX.zip" uses the stock black background to eliminate the phone and alarm clock bugs. Flash either one using Streakmod, over DSC 1.5.

Thanks man. Now I regret my decision a little, it's a lot of work to do a theme, more than I thought. I hope people like it.
Please make it for longhorn2.9.3. pls

Both framework-res and systemUI are missing META-INF folder with manifest. This will cause system to bootloop (no rights in system) right from start, or if you are lucky, after factory reset
Simply copy that folder from original.

Attached - quickly changed manifest and install script of black background version, works for me.

Fixed! It always booted fine for me, so I never checked, I completely forgot. Thanks! I'll be using your install procedure from now on.
Edit: I just tested and saw the message the install script shows. Very cool, thank you. I always wanted something like that!

I'm sorry, but to port the theme to CM based ROMs is like starting over, as far as I know. I need to take a look at it to be sure. It's too much to do for the little time I have at the moment. Maybe I'll look into it once the theme goes into a more final stage. Right now I'm trying to track down all the bugs and make the last few popups white.
Sorry, i forgot to mention that you need to also copy AndroidManifest.xml from source.
I will try to diff and create a zip mod for your theme.
This will free us from recreating the theme for framework/system apps changes.
Hey, guys!
Let me introduce myself. I'm a founder of Hamster Beat team, which is focused on personalization apps development for Android. Most of our apps are live wallpapers, but unlike other live wallpapers, we are trying to implement only the most original ideas and not cloning existing apps like many others.
We're looking for promotions partners in US, Europe and all the world. Cross-promotion is also very interesting for us
So, if you have any idea we can work together in any way, you're welcome to contact me here on xda.
And here is some info about our work.
We started to work together with my friend on May 2012. Our first work was Metaballs Liquid HD. The idea come from PC machine graphics, and it was really hard to get it work on smartphones because of a complex computations. But we did it, spent a couple of month for coding and optimization research. The fate was not on our side, and application got banned on Play Store after a while due to sexual content violation, although there were completely no such a content inside the app. The discussion with Google Support team did not help, so we had to republish it with a higher maturity rating.
Here is how this app looks right now:
Then, we thought we can create an app that would be useful for those people who do not actually use live wallpapers. We started to work on a completely free app called Panoramic Screen which turns any regular 2D image into 3D panorama (not 360, of course, it's impossible).
This app is already featured on XDA main page. It was chosen to be included in top10 hottest apps on appbrain twice and few days ago we received information from Google Editors that they suggest Panoramic Screen to get featured on Google Play.
Panoramic Screen is free and you're welcome to try it. Here is how it looks:
Next time we focused on even more complicated idea. We wanted to create an application that can modify any other wallpaper and can animate something over any image picked from the gallery. Several months of coding leads us to Coloring Screen and Coloring Weather Screen applications. Coloring Screen was featured on xda and appbrain too. App allows to apply well-known photo filters and colors effects to change the entire look of any image. The full version is trying to animate current weather conditions, seasons and time of the day over ANY custom background. Although that was an extremely great idea, i can't tell we implemented it quite well. We had risen too high in India and received a very low percentage of active application installs compared to our other apps. So, i'm not actually sure if we can help it right now, but anyway we will merge Panoramic Screen with Coloring Screen into one app in the nearest future.
Our other apps you can always find on Google Play.
You're welcome to ask any questions if you want to know more about our experience.
Have a good weekend!
i once saw the review of PanoramicScreen on a blog and i tried it...very good app! Since then I have looked for information on how to create live wallpaper but with no luck
Anyway keep up the good work! ;D

What's going wrong? It seems quite simple to create basic lwp. Actually, lwp creation process is more about design, art and promotion instead of coding.
just want to drop in and say good luck in your endeavours! I absolutely loved panoramic screen as it was so simple yet customisable
Metaballs
Hi -- just thought I'd say how much I like Metaballs.

Thanks, since last update, Coloring Screen includes the same panoramic effect in addition to color and photo filters.

I just started working on a series of card games for Ubuntu Touch. I think these will be great additions to the platform's app ecosystem. You can view some screenshots of my progress here: https://plus.google.com/110587021591787005452/posts/9yRiPbRxSFJ
Please let me know if you have suggestions
Is it possible to change the background color? All Ubuntu Touch applications have this ugly purple.
Maybe green would look good.
But great work!

Yeah, that can easily be changed. Green could look like a nice card table. I'll experiment. But, form follows function!

I wanted to share a few screenshots highlighting the progress of the Ubuntu Blackjack app. The app has seen a number of significant improvements since I last provided an update here:
When I began, I intended to include several card games in one app, but somebody suggested that I focus on one game and try to make it really enjoyable to play. The idea was that the game would be the experience that other developers see and want to emulate. I heeded this advice, and focused on blackjack. Initially, the game was very simple. A deck was generated, and the player simply drew cards, but there was no real motivation to continue playing. I implemented additional gameplay features so the game would involve a fair amount of strategy, rather than sheer luck. Still, the game needed an objective, so I devised a system for keeping score, with increased stakes as the rounds progress. Naturally, I had to add a database to store the top 10 scores! Later, I realized it would be nice to share high scores with friends, so I utilized the Online Accounts and Friends APIs to allow sharing of scores on social media networks. Hopefully this publicity will draw more users to the Ubuntu Touch platform.
Next, I focused on audio/visual improvements. I incorporated feedback from the Ubuntu community, including an Ubuntu design clinic, to implement designs that are simple and functional, yet visually appealing. I included realistic animations and textures. It was important that the design be convergent so it will look good on all screen sizes and take advantage of the available screen real estate as it scales up. Consequently, blackjack is a great way to pass a few minutes on phone, tablet, or desktop! Next, I packaged a rich set of free audio and added a toggle to the settings page, so the user can choose to play with sound for a more immersive experience.
I want the user experience to be pleasant from start to finish, not just while the game is loaded. To balance all these new features, I had to make changes to improve load time. I also decided to add a splash screen, so the user has visual feedback while loading is in progress. A splash screen is much more pleasant to look at than a blank white screen.
Download the app today from the click store on your Ubuntu Touch device and let me know what can be improved!
Hi guys, I decided to try and make a classy dark theme for my M8 that had a very regal feel to it.
This is my first theme so a lot of the UI is text based but I do plan on adding some small edging and decal features in the future.
Features:
Full music player screen with cover art and source selector.
Dynamic information sentences that deal with syntax.
A monochrome UI that blends well with the navigation bar.
Full dialer.
section showing future events
I haven't been able to test it on anything other than my M8 so I'm unsure how well this theme will work on a different DPI.
All criticism and comments welcome.
Thank you.
seems great mate, tanks a lot
thanks man.
Great looking theme mate, I've even shared it with my buddies and they all agree. Great work!

I'm using it now in SlimKat ROM with 245 LCD density on GNEX (toro), it suppose to be 320. I had to edit and move things around a bit but you kept everything customizable so it was easy thanks
I tried other themes but they're all messed up with 245 LCD density, and the designers didn't make it possible for me to resize the widgids and such
Hi themers,
Just picked up a V30 and desperately want to change the window shade and settings menu backgrounds to black. I've started by taking a theme and beginning to reverse engineer it, but it would be much easier if someone would post a theme with full source, and/or the LG theme apk. Thanks!

In the themes section of settings, there's s theme called "high contrast". Wouldn't that theme do what you're seeking?
Yeah, that would fix the primary problem, though I'm not a huge fan of the Halloween orange hi-contrast switches. Since theme-ing the v30 appears to all be done the hard way, I'd like to help provide the resources for everyone to be able to edit themes themselves to customize whatever they'd like.
