I have had my T-Mobile V30 for almost two weeks now, and am really happy with it. The battery life is OUTSTANDING. And I did the full Pixel 2 mods, with the Pixel 2 launcher, and made all the Google apps default, like Google Phone, Google Calendar, Google Messages, etc... Did the LG Package Disbaler too, which worked great.
Anyways few theme questions, coming from my Nexus 6P previously;
- I really miss Substratum theme engine, and a specific theme in 'Swift Dark'. I know Substratum now works for the Galaxy S8 / Note 8 line, no root needed. Any chance we see it work for LG phones ?
- Is there a mod or theme to give us the Pixel nav bay keys ? The solid white nav keys.
- Will there ever be a way to fully theme notifications and drop down shade ? I run a great dark theme the G theme, and it's not the developers fault, I know it's an LG issue, but sucks when notifications still come in white, and pulling down the notification shade the message is white still, while the rest of the phone is themed dark.
Can you do a screenshot of your home page? I'd like to see how it looks looking like stock Google
What's everyone using to share pictures now that Photobucket is gone ?
Not sure to be honest but I know there are quite a few alternatives but just can remember them !

So right now I'm running CM7.1 nightly, and I'm in love with it. I went to UnNamed for about 2 hours a week ago, and I couldn't deal with the lack of customization. Now, this is my first android phone in a while, so I was still learning the new apps and tricks.
Now I realize I can change the lock screen using WidgetLocker. The stock lock screen is the MAIN reason why I'm not on a stock rom such as S8. I've heard nothing but great things about Mikey, and I really want to try out his rom.
So now that I know I can change my lockscreen (from the tacky and rather stupid looking stock, to a more customizable sophisticated one) I just want to know a few things.
Flashing Themes. In CM7, it uses it's own Theme engine and I can download themes from the market and flash em via the Theme Chooser App. For these stock themes, I have to download from a dev thread on here, or is there a "database" of themes?
CM7 I can customize the status bar to display The Full carrier name, wifi signal strength in dB or bars, etc. Can I do that with stock roms? How about Battery Percentage? I read that the circle percentage app/mod didn't work with S8. Is that true?
Finally, How is the battery life in S8 compared to CM7?
Thanks for your help guys.
Hi! Can anyone make CM9 white? Design of anroid is very good now. Minimal. But too dark for me.
I know that themes are turned off now, but...
It is dark because most modern smart phones have OLED screens that use considerably less power when displaying black than any other colour. The phone screen is the largest user of power.
If you want a light colored CM9, use MIUI
Cheers!

I agree. MIUI will provide a much lighter base them with additional theme options. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383721 this ROM has been great for me.

You can flash CM9 Reloaded on top of your CM9 ROM and it opens up a lot of options including the ability to theme (color wise anyway)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531222
Also am attaching screenshots of how while would look for you. I'm on Photon CM9.
Yeah cm9 reloaded is great, allows you to theme the status bar and dropdown completely to your specification. The base rom itself remains unchanged, but aside from MIUI there's really not much theming options yet.
I think that blue-black hue cool ah!
This was built on the stock Verizon wireless 4.1.2, might work for others aswell but untested
YOU MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE A DEODEXED ROM, you have been warned.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone, you assume all risk.
I have been a longtime MIUI user, as I enjoy their simple theming techniques....since there is a lack of development of MIUI for our phone, I set out to make the stock rom look as cool as my old phone (never been thrilled by the stock ics text icons in electric blue or any other color, we have these cool arse phones with unappealing graphics....time to change that!). After getting close to 3 days of battery with heavy use (and I mean heavy use, backups, flashing and playing games) and Bluetooth not dropping off in my car while listening to music, I thought it was time to stay stock. (please do understand this is in no way shape an attack at the awesome devs who make roms for us, ad im sure ill eventually start flashing custom roms soon)
lots of the default plain arse black background have been changed to a more appealing dark brown.
Here we go,
What we have here is a BuuF Theme, that still a work in progress.
This theme looks best with the Buuf golauncher or ADW theme and lockscreen theme, however I plan to theme the stock Moto launcher and unlocker.
so far here is whats themed:
contacts
deskclock
geniewidget
gmail
parts of homescreen
messaging
mot camera
moto email
phone
settings
systemUI
framework
apks added and themed:
gallery goolge with 4.2 camera (with working photosphere) <---this will change your device name in build.prop to work properly
miui apps added and themed:
MiFileExplorer
MiNotes
MiuiDeskclock
MiuiMusic
mods included:
1% battery
dsp manager
photosphere
I also have made the corresponding BuuF GoLauncherEX theme and a BuuF GoLocker theme I will be releasing shortly..
the clock in my screenshot is a beautiful widget witht he andromeaBuuF theme applied (I plan to make my own to match this theme in the future)
as this theme is a work in progress, things can and will constantly change...
Please do comment and ask for requests, but please do know I work full time and have a family, so be patient.
credits to: paul Davey - mattahan for the awesome artwork
Bignadad for his jellybean theme I cherry picked the 1% mod from

i'm a long time both buuf and miui fan (it even sounds compatible :cyclops and enjoyed/abused your work in various forms - importing/exporting, modifying for various devices, etc. like yourself, working hard (to the best of my knowledge <> which is rather poor) to customize my phone not loosing performance.
1. is there any chance that you make an updated buuf theme for TSF Shell (launcher)? i can fw the launcher and existing buuf theme/shell .apks if you decide to do it.
2. couldn't find any of your work for go launcher ex - went through all the themes/locks last night and there's no sign of bytegobuuf!?
thnx for yor work, there are people who really appreciate it!

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?

my device is spice mi436 with stock ROM and vanilla android
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.
i used the cf auto root and NH7 so still 4.4.4
im looking for some suggestions from the experienced users of either app or themes based on my needs.
im vision impaired and deaf so sound is whatever but vibrations are great if customized. as for vision, i work best with the dark themes. mainly like everything is a black nackground with light colored text. even google chrome. i can do it on my pc but not phone and i did try firefox but altho it worked, not very stable to use. i do tend to lean towards go launcher bc of editing how i like and still simple icons. nothing fancy or whatnot. but another app would be like a note pad where background is black, font is white but you can change the size of the font. ive tried blackbook app but its perfect if i could just change the font size. can anyone suggest any dark themes or apps that could benefit me? im not to ready to update to lollipop yet but if its the only way to get certain things i need, i will but for now i would like to try to stick with android 4.4.4. thank you in advance to any help and advice!

Hi , have you tried to change your font size ? Go to settings/device/font/font size and you can change your font size. Or you can change style also while your there 5 fonts that come with the device. Or you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752379 download and install this APK and you have 500 different fonts to choose from.
