Has anyone found any themes that also modify the AOD? The preinstalled "Signature" and "Lightwave" also add graphics to the AOD, but as far as I can tell they're the only ones that do so. Does anyone else know of a theme that modifies the AOD?
Related: if themes are capable of modifying the AOD, that seems to suggest that theoretically, we should be able to develop apps that add extra AOD functionality, right? Anyone have thoughts of how we could make that happen?

The Blue LG theme changes the color of the large clock from red to blue.

I have a very nice icon overlay I would like to use over all of the icons placed on home screens or in the app tray by Rosie.
I am assuming if I find the spot in Rosie where it places those icons after getting them from the apps, I could add this in.
I can add the overlay to each APK by hand, but this will only work for APKs included in the ROM, whereas putting it into Rosie would put it on all of them, even user installed ones.
Thoughts? Anybody done or seen anything like this?

That would need to be coded and supported into the launcher application. Stock aosp, and rosie I don't think support that, there are other launchers that do support it though with a theme apk. Like Go Launcher or ADW.
Unless you are asking something else?

No, I was totally talking about hacking it into Rosie.
I know there are overlays used for other things, so I was just considering the idea of adding one for this.
Not as a user option, as something automatically done to all icons.

I have no smali experience, and don't really have an interest. Hopefully someone else can help then.

LOL, that's fine. I'm sure it's XML, not smali, but thanks for looking anyway.

Its most definitely not just xml edits. You will need to write code into the launcher to accept different icons based on package name. Currently the launcher uses a default api to retrieve the icon attached to the launcher intent. Be my guest to get it working with only xml edits though.

I don't want to change it pulling the icon from the app.
After it does that, when it renders it, I want to add the overlay on top. Which I am hoping I can do in the layout XML files.
Of course, I could be completely wrong, which is why I posted this.

Right, you need to code in the overlay. Overlay via xml that you are thinking of only works when building from source. An example is the amount of code needed to theme a rom like cm7, cm9, cm10. These all have that ability to theme the icons based on activity name in the framework, if that activity path and image exists, it displays a different image. This is done in code, not xml.

Guess it's a good thing I asked before diving in then.
Thanks for the info.
Being an HTC guy who only messes around with Sense, I have some smali under my belt, but I am by no means good at it. So I guess I will seek help from somebody who is.
Thanks a bunch!

Here is some code from ADW that enables the icons to be themed.
Part1
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/84457c8837dfd62f11f616de50289860b8542887
Part2
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/6c6ae4a8d5dc538b337e4d0206ac75358b31044c
This toggles on/off the icon themes:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/8236848db5c80e5cb8f2e1cbba74e7fa194dfb1f
In order for you to enable "icon" overlay support, you will need to add code in to support it. I am sorry.

No worries, it's good to have input from people who know more than I do.
I was hoping it would be easier, just adding my overlay in the layout XML files over top of the app icons, but life is never easy.

Hi
I am curious on how a theme is built using Themer, correct me if I am wrong. In a very basic way, here is the way a theme is put together
1 - create wallpapers in Photoshop, at the right size and res, with all the info, icons shapes, you name it. This create a static image.
2 - Using Zooper Pro one places hot spots where we want something to happen,: open mail, show weather, numbers of miss calls, etc......
Is that OK , did I missed something?

Hi, that is more or less correct.
Many new themes use a standard wallpaper so that users will have the option to change it without affecting the theme's appearance (such as text won't disappear).
Any one of Themer's built-in widgets can be used, not just Zooper, but you're correct in saying that hotspots are assigned to specific actions.
Lastly, icons can always be added if the designer wishes
Anything else you'd like to know?

Doesn't really matter, it's all completely up to you. We do recommend using a high-res wallpaper though if other users wanted to apply the theme, and they're using a 1080p resolution device.

Its not easy dude.. Colors.xml, styles.xml, layout files and pngs.. There is plenty of roms available with black ui add ons.. U can flash one of them na? Easy na?
no i have seen that yes there is a couple of roms available with black ui add ons, one of them is yours and i like it.
but the reason why i want to do it on my own phone is because i want to learn how to do it
i have found guides on how to theme media apps from white to black and that was not so complicated but to theme system seems not to be easy

Some apps like Packageinstaller, Clock, TeleServices, Sound picker are very easy to theme black. But some like InCallUI and Phonebook is little tough...
@Rajeev
hi bro,
hoping my wish is a little bit easier ...
can you tell me how to turn the backcolor of the statusbar and navbar into black (Kitkat 4.4.4 stock)?
Always open Settings or any apk the statusbar and navbar changed to ugly grey...
i am no noob in compiling system apk´s, so what´s the trick?
Thx

What lockscreen app are you using, if any?
The Glance feature is lacking so much. I want something that works well with Android Oreo's lockscreen that can read fingerprint.
I tried several, but eventually ended up removing them all. Nothing works as proper for a "Glance" feature as the build in Glance does.
I even disabled the glance feature because every theme I apply with substratum makes the glance background bright blue...
I hope somewhere soon we're able to apply changes to the build in Glance.
Hello,
I've been wondering if there's any way of getting my hands on the "Galaxy Themes" app, or whatever its name is, from Samsung without going through the hassle of signing up for it with my non-existent portfolio. I just want to make myself some AOD's and maybe a theme. Is there any way of achieving this with anything other than their app? Is there any way of achieving this at all? I'm mostly interested in modifying the AOD and by modifying I really mean modifying ( just like those on the market ), not just putting a background image.
Thank you!
Later edit: I'm on android 9, if it matters.
So there's really nothing?
A quick Google search yielded this: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-themes/
can you change icons on experience launcher?, without downloading a launcher. I know theme store has some but i have own ones.
