2 DAY WARNING!This thread will be closed on the 9th January. My old account (Nitroz) is being merged with my new one (NitrozKC) So if you see this thread dissapear, this is why

Information
I'm assuming most of you know who I am. I'm Nitroz, I ported the famous theme called Black Android by Pele over to the Galaxy SII and got a great reception with over 90,000 downloads. But, I'm not here to do that today, I am here to introduce my new theme! that I made myself from pretty much the ground up and bringing it to ICS. I must thank Pele for all the help and inspiration he has given me to go forth and create my own theme, I wouldn't be a themer if it wasn't for him. Oh, and for all the people rating the thread 1 because of what I did in the past, its a little pathetic, I apologised publicly and refunded every donation. People make mistakes, life moves on. Deal with it.

ROM Compatibility
So far, in regards to compatibility, I have versions up for Stock Android 4.0.3. & also a version for Android Revolution HD (GSM & LTE) I plan on adding support for the majority of the ROMS as soon as they settle down since there are too many for me to handle at the minute but I will be sticking to stock ROM's and one main ROM to base it on, which is ARHD. If you have any of these 2 ROM's please scroll down to the downloads section. Thanks

Is it possible to add a battery percentage in your theme?
i think i saw your name somewhere in SGS2 forums - oh yeh i got it --->stealing ROMS and being a Thief - taking donations and then trying to act like best person. and making a lots of HARD job with empty words by taking over from somebody else.
If thats not you forgive me big time - and i wish you all the best in the future.

Yes, that was me. But theres a few things that your wrong about.
Yes, I did steal, yes I owned up to it. I did my time for it and I apologised to everyone I hurt.
I refunded all the donations given to me because I wasn't in it for the money. I learnt Android the hard way in the 3 month ban and I'm bettering myself for it.
But rating this thread 1 star because of the past is pathetic. Maybe you should ask Vertumus the question again and he will prove I aplogised, then again, I can give you the PM if you want? Also DesignGears aswell.
So please, I'm not asking for forgiveness but to NOT rate my new work for what I did in the past.
EDIT: Ignore the other trolls as well. This thread isn't worth 2 stars its just the fact I did something wrong. Like they haven't made mistakes?

Theme looks good! Only things stopping me from flashing are nitpicky
I like the statusbar clock in the center haha
Great work, hope you will port it before Pele gets a GN ;-)
This would be the first theme for GN?
Keep up the good work mate.

I'm working for Pele lol. He wants me to port it and dev for the GNexus theme. And yes, it is the first GNexus theme.
@All
BETA 3 will be released tonight thanks to the SGS1 Dev who kindly edited the framework images for me as I've been stuck at work for 2 days.
BETA 4 will include the original Black Android icons. Just be patient, I'm a very busy man.
Got an error status 6 when trying to apply the zip file in recovery. Downloaded the file several time but same result.
Any suggestions?

Which ROM you using? Could be CWM related or ZIP related...Pretty sure it worked for me when I tested it.

Jabbawalkee and I are proud to present MattedBlues - now for the G2/Desire Z! This theme was originally developed for the EVO and the original thread can be found here. Unfortunately, neither myself nor Jabba actually own a G2 so we're depending on you, the wonderful XDA community, to test out the theme and let us know about your experience.
Without further ado, let's get on to the good stuff:

}
FAQ:
- The color code for this theme is 73B6D6.
- The weather widget in the screenshot above is the MattedBlues Super Clock skin for Beautiful Widgets.
- The dock in the screenshot is attached to this post.
- The Power Widget indicators in the Notification Dropdown come green by default. To change it to match the rest of the theme go to Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Interface > Power Widgets > Indicator Color then set it to 73B6D6
- There are no ETAs for anything!
DOWNLOADS:
I've been asked by Jabbawalkee to remove the download links in anticipation of the Theme Chooser version release. Hang tight!!
CHANGELOG:
Code:
5/20 Version 2.92 brings compatibility with CM 7.0.3
4/11 Version 2.9 brings compatibility for CM 7.0.0, removes Facebook and Twitter (for now), fixes text color for Google Voice widgets
3/28 Version 2.8.1 includes themed global tabs (i.e., in dialer), themed vertical/horizontal scrollbar to blue, updated Gmail and an update to CM7 RC3
3/26: Version 2.8 for the G2 is released! Version number matches the EVO versions to reduce confusion about parity amongst devices.
CREDITS:
- Jabbawalkee for creating the most beautiful theme for Android
- JSChiSurf for teaching me how to properly join mods together
- Sonnysekhon for showing us how to make a transparent dialer
- nubecoder for the amend2edify app that made flashing this theme possible
and, most importantly,
- YOU for trying and enjoying the theme on your G2.

Install instructions? Do I just download nightly 31 from the CM7 nightly thread then flash the mattedblues v.2.8 seperate? Or do I have to go in and replace the framework and stuff myself?

To install you just flash it like a ROM. Full install instructions for a fresh start are:
- Flash CM7 ROM
- Flash GAPPS for your device
- Reboot, let phone load into CM7
- Reboot into recovery
- Flash MattedBlues
- Reboot and enjoy
I've already had to update the zip with the new updater script. Please re-download and give it a shot.

Failed. I received the same error I did when trying to flash the EVO version. Perhaps it's because we're using CWM Recovery here on G2 and not Aman(Amon)? I believe that's the problem. The error is this:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recoery. Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages. Installation aborted.
So when I searched that error before, I read a lot of stuff about the Amon(aman), whatever the spelling is.
EDIT: Sorry, was writing this message as you posted your new message. Will try again.

EUREKA!
Upon initial boot into the theme, it's looking marvelous! The colors seem right, icons, fonts, bootanimation, keyboard, everything appears to be great! Of course, I haven't had a chance to check anything out yet, but on first look everything is good. I've only opened the keyboard, dragged down the notification bar and opened the settings menu. By the way, is the power bar in the notification drag down supposed to be green? I'll have to check the screenshots after this post.
Thanks a million!! Beautiful theme!

You have to change the Indicator color manually. I believe it's CyanogenMod Settings > Interface > Power Widgets > Indicator Color then set it to 73B6D6. I'll add this to the FAQ section if you can verify it for me.

Tested the color, it's a wee-bit light for the rest of the theme (in my personal opinion). But perhaps that's what you were going for. Again, I haven't looked around the theme much, perhaps if that color appears more throughout the theme, the lighter color will be justified. But the status bar blues are quite a bit darker.

I happen to think that color fits quite well with the theme overall. Besides, that's the main color code for the theme. To each their own though. Feel free to find a deeper color code and share with the rest of us. That would be pretty cool My EVO died earlier today and I'm without a phone for a couple of days otherwise I'd tinker with it myself.

Aww, that stinks. I'm transferring jobs and don't have the extra funds or I'd donate to help with the EVO. Sorry about that. But on second thought, the color does look quite well. It goes with the other colors nicely. But it threw me off when I was expecting it to look the same as the statusbar colors. Brilliant colors nonetheless. Very subtle and clean looking. The animations are great also. If you'd like me to test anything else, just give me a shout. I'd be more than happy. I've been waiting for this port since I saw the theme.

[THEME-Apr24] ⋮░⋮ PCB Blue v1.8.2 ⋮░⋮ Circuit Boards! - for AOKP b34/M4 (GSM + LTE)
⋮░⋮ PCB Blue v1.8.2 ⋮░⋮
Updated on 04-24-2012 (mm/dd/yyyy)
for AOKP_b34/m4
Hi all! I have been a proud owner (and still am actually) of an HTC Desire, ASUS Transformer TF101, and now the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM). On each of these devices, I've created a properly-built theme based on my PCB image.
This theme for the GNex is my newest, and based/influenced by my original PCB Sense (v2.x) Theme and PCB Blue for Prime! on the TF101. I'm happy with how it turned out, so I wanted to offer it up to all the fellow XDA users!
Supported Devices:
Galaxy Nexus GSM (maguro)
Galaxy Nexus CDMA (toro)
ASUS Transformer (tf101) (coming soon)
Couple of things to note:
ONLY for AOKP_b34/m4! (older versions are archived). You can try it on other ROMs, but this theme was built from AOKP sources.
*NOTE* - You must choose "CircleMOD" in Settings --> ROM Control --> Battery --> Battery Icon Style to see custom icons, otherwise stock is used
This design was meant to be quite close to stock for those who dig the ICS UI, but want something a bit unique
It is currently a work-in-progress, and will evolve over time. I hope to keep adding more and more...
Please do not ask for too many new feature requests. I am quite a busy dood, and this is still the early days of ICS. I will definitely update it when I can, but I have been making Android themes for a while, and it becomes quite tedious and time consuming to create new .zips/.apks for each and every ROM release. I will certainly do my best though!
I have edited a lot of images with utmost care and attention to detail including those precious draw9patch ones
CHANGE LOG is below
Screenshots:
These are some of the graphic components I built and used in this theme (more actual screenies coming soon):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Future Plans:

Downloads + Change Log + MD5 Checksums :
* IMPORTANT * - Do NOT flash this theme immediately after flashing a ROM/gapps/kernel etc., as it will cause issues. If you flash a fresh ROM, boot into it fully, then reboot to Recovery, wipe Dalvik-Cache, then install my theme by itself. Reboot one final time and you should be good to go!
Everything is now at the PCB Theme mini-site
Don't forget that you can use the included PCB Theme Companion App to check for new versions easily on your phone (just click "Website")
Simply scan the QR code below with your phone for the fastest way to download (just don't forget to remember it's location when flashing! It's usually /sdcard/Download):
(*NOTE* - if you DL on your GNex and end up with a '.bin' extension, just rename it to '.zip', check MD5, and flash in CWM)
» PCB Theme Mini-Site »
[qrcode]"http://pcb.pla.bz/devices"[/qrcode]
Installation:
First off, ensure that you're running AOKP_b34/m4, then simply download the flashable .zip below, save it to your /sdcard folder, enter ClockworkMod Recovery (hold Vol_Down + Vol_Up + Power on fresh bootup, then press Up a few times to highlight "Recovery", then press Power) and choose "Install .zip from sdcard", then browse to where you saved the file. I'd also recommend doing a wipe of the Dalvik-Cache. That's it!
Uninstall/Removal:
It would be double the work for me to provide another .zip to revert files, so what I would recommend is that you just extract your original /system/app/SystemUI.apk and /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your original ROM .zip and drop them in a copy of my theme .zip, overwriting them. Simply enter Recovery and flash that .zip which should revert ONLY those 2 files. I'd also recommend doing a wipe of the Dalvik-Cache.

if you like it... (I would greatly appreciate that!!) otherwise, a click of the THANKS button is awesome!
Disclaimer:
Flash this at your own risk! I am NOT responsible for any damage, however I do use it myself and always perform a NANDROID backup + Dalvik wipe before installing. Also, PM me before you rip out any of my resources if you wanted to use them in your own theme/project. I can be accommodating so long as you get in touch first!
Credits and thanks to some of the resources used go out to:
hostedWithGeeks for the excellent hosting experience/service
Team KANG for making a great ROM for the Galaxy Nexus
UOT Kitchen for their circle battery icons
Some other icons were obtained at IconFinder
nice theme will try out.
Gonna try this too. Thanks.

Just installed a little while ago. Quite like it so far, nice subtle theme, but that's a good thing for me since I like the ICS style. Thanks for this.
Thanks to all of you guys for giving it a shot I am still planning on making improvements as time goes on, but I'd love to hear any feedback, either good, bad, or suggestions for the future.
Again, hope you enjoy the work I put in to this!
any plans to make it compatible with m3??

Hey Collin, I probably could, however as I just got my Nexus and am using b26, I just released this version initially. I am not sure what the roadmap for the AOKP ROMs are (i.e. when the next Milestone will be coming), so I may just wait for M4.
Otherwise, I have been using b23/25/26 for about 1.5 weeks and haven't had any issues, so I might recommend you upgrade to b26 (it even has some great new features over M3). Of course, if you do a Nandroid and then try it out, you'll have nothing to lose!
As this is the first release, more will come, and I will do my best to support as many ROM versions as I can (which can be a handful for someone like me with little time...trying to run my own business and it takes a LOT out of me!).
Cheers!
Awesome Looking theme, What r the chances of seeing it in Red?

Possibly in due time, but I actually first need to get it to a state where all of the resources that I wanted to edit are in fact 'final'. At that point I would then take the collection and apply different colour schemes. I did it for my PCB Sense version, however it was one of the last steps after I had created everything in green. Sooo, not ruling it out, but most likely not any time soon.

i like it alot man.. been using ur stuff on my tf101 since the beginning... but on this i might consider using different status bar icons... the honeycomb is kinda old, and the signal and bluetooth... may something more modern/stockish... either way i love it... but u asked for feedback bad or good... thanks bro as always u rock

Kick ass KD! I was hoping to hear/see some of the TF101 crew who also snagged the GNex. Thanks for giving good use to my themes, and also for the feedback. You're right, I did ask for +/-, and I actually do agree with you on the status bar icons. I know they don't really fit into the super clean modern look of ICS, but my geek nostalgia forced me to use them, as I have been doing so since my Desire days. That, and the fact that I wasn't feeling very creative to think hard about it I'll be honest I did design the Wifi icons from scratch though (notice how you didn't specifically mention those?), so I'll try to do the same thing again for the battery/BT/cell ones after getting my creative smok, err, juices flowing again I've got some ideas...
Thanks again fellas, already 236 downloads in less than a day! \o/ (is that good or bad? I dunno, still cool tho!)
awesome looking theme
love the subtle pcb design. Maybe u could change the softkeys up a little.
Would there be any issues if i flash other softkeys over it? will the animation be overwritten?

Thanks klyzon! Really glad you are liking the theme.
In terms of the softkeys, if the package that installs them replaces SystemUI.apk (just have a look in the .zip), then you will most likely lose many parts of my theme (I have modded both SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk). I will consider building different collections of .apks with different softkeys, but again, this is just the first release of my theme, so that may happen in the future.
Otherwise, if you (or anyone else) do see different softkeys that you want to use, post a link in this thread and I'll ask the dev/themer of those images if I would be allowed to use them in a version of my theme.
** EDIT ** - I just checked one of packages from this thread --> [SOFTKEYS] Softkey Collection 2.0 [GSM/CDMA] [Update 08-02] by atticus182 and he actually provides a .zip with PNG images! This is great because it will allow you to take my SystemUI.apk and merge in those PNGs so you can ONLY replace the softkeys. You'll just need to extract my SystemUI.apk somewhere temporary, pop in the PNGs to the correct place (/res/drawable-xhdpi) and then drag that modified SystemUI.apk back into my .zip flash package. Also, the PCB pattern behind the softkeys is kept in 2 PNGs from my SystemUI.apk, namely "ic_sysbar_highlight.png" and "ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png", so just don't overwrite those and you'll be good to go!
Please do let me know if you've tried that, and how it works out for you. It would be great to have a UOT Kitchen type of webapp to build custom themes, but I don't have the know-how to build this for PHP/.net/etc...Anyways, hope this helps in the meantime!
Hey all!
I've just updated the PCB theme to v1.1.0 which is based on AOKP b27. I am running it right now, and it's working (and looking! ) great!
I have also added a few more features/skinned elements, and I'll work on making up a couple of screenies right now.
Anyways, please test it out if you're on AOKP b27 (which is amazing btw), and let me know what you think. Cheers and thanks!
Installed and very nice.
2 requests / suggestions.
Not all of the loading animations are blue and make the lock screen lock icon blue.

actually, i kinda dislike the top bar being in pcb design, the old black bar suits it better, more subtle imho

Thanks for the feedback Sleeepy2, however it is very hard to cater to each individual need (as mentioned in the OP). I did not make ALL spinner animations blue because the Android system has 2 by default (black and white). I simply made the black ones blue, and left the white...well, white.
As for the lock screen lock icon, I will also leave that white, as it blends/fits in with the other lock screen elements. More importantly, white offers a better contrast, in case someone had a blue-ish wallpaper, in which case the lock would be hard to see.
I'm sorry if I am not being very helpful here, but it's actually quite easy for you to change the colours, spinners, etc. yourself if you'd really like to. Please just don't re-release a modded version of my theme if you do though. Modding my theme for your own usage would be absolutely fine though!

Hey klyzon, appreciate the feedback here, even though I actually do like the top status bar pattern. I definitely hear what you are saying though, as it doesn't make the theme very subtle any longer. Also, my lady gave me some grief for this too when I flashed it to her GNex
I am pondering whether or not to make 2 versions of the theme. One with basic, subtle PCB design mods, and one with everything styled to the tits Of course, that means double the work when it comes to updating (AOKP is on a roll!), so it will eat more of my already limited time
I just wish there was a better way to mod system resources without having to decompile/rebuild each .APK as they are updated...if anyone does know of such a method, PLEASE let me know! I looked into Ninja/Metamorph, but I don't think they offer much better methods. There was a thread about the VillainTheme system in the ASUS Transformer forums, but it never worked properly (wasn't actively worked on either).
Anyways, sit tight if you can for a few, and I'll try to work some more magic...
P.S. - I'd love to hear anyone else's thoughts on this. It would be great to get to a version that the majority approves of!
Hey, just installed and really like how subtle the effects are
I for one really like the PCBed(?) status bar!
2 things:
- The alarm icon gets kind of faded (it's never really "in your face" anyway)
- Could not get alternative softkeys to go with it.... Will have to learn to open those flashable zips and get the hands a little dirty
Thanks for the great job Not often that I actually install AND keep a theme
I really want this to work with my Razr on AOKP 27, but it never seems to work. Any idea how to get it working? I LOOOOVE this theme!
Edit: This is what my lwp looks like actually, so it would match!
As for the lock screen lock icon, I will also leave that white, as it blends/fits in with the other lock screen elements. More importantly, white offers a better contrast, in case someone had a blue-ish wallpaper, in which case the lock would be hard to see.

Hi kvld
Sorry but this is NOT for ours S4. You didn't noticed which forum you are
If you are willing to, I can send you a S4 version. If so, send me a PM with your email.
The answer for your first question is: yes. It's meant to be flashed via recovery.
Nice regards.

Hi Kdio. Not sure if you are still following this thread but wanted to ask if an update for 4.3 firmwares might be possible?
I've tried V1 but not sure that it has worked as the Stock TW colours seem to remain.

The reason the thread is closed is not because the developer is angry at all or anything like that. He no longer has the time to support the ROMs at the moment, I was suspicious to to the ROM's disappearance but was alerted he posted the reason he closed development on his G+. This ROM was taken offline when the new one came up, that's all. Thanks OP.

Wowowow i did ask, i contacted Ramsay and did not get a response and did not even know what happened until i check my google and facebook, however, and i will say i did NOT get explicit permission, Ramsey has NEVER cared and i do NOT expect him to get back to me any time soon because of whats going on. I am 99.99% sure he will not care that im, if anything, supporting his awesome rom.
PS- now i want to try that kit kat theme xD
They were just looking out for the dev is all. All too often people will post someone else's work without asking first, sometimes they give proper cred, sometimes they don't. But the decent thing regardless of your intentions is to ask first, which you said you did. And thank you for clarifying that btw.
Tbh, after reading the OP, I thought the exact same thing. Always do when it's not mentioned. You obviously appreciate the devs work on this Rom, and saranhai was simply looking out for them and their interests. I don't believe it was meant as accusatory at all.
Anyway, just thought I'd offer up a bit of explanation. Thanks for posting this, I know a lot of people are going to be very pleased to see it here!

Yea i get it i jut dont understand 2 things..
1. All his work EVERYTHING is up for download, so couldnt i just modify a few settings, add some wall papers, maybe some of your Modem tweaks as default and this would qualify at least as S3 Development.
2. So because the thanks was in regular text size and not colored that doesnt count as thanks !? The hassle i went through to put this togther and the 2-4 days waiting for a reply for Ramsay...(i put thanks to him and his team on the top and bottom of the post when i FIRST posted it... i even posted PICTURES OF THE GUYS AT THE BOTTOM).
Im stressed, Im active duty military and tried to something nice for these people on my time off. -.-"

By all means were just looking out for the devs and you, you violate any rules on XDA and you can get banned easily we wouldn't want that would we? I and I'm sure the rest of the d2tmoers here are glad someone had this ROM still and uploaded it for us. Thank you, I'm using it currently.
As the Kit Kat theme is concerned, its Friday and I have nothing else better to do I'll rip it from 4.3 and let everyone know.

Wow this ROM is amazing! I've tried cm10, liquidsmooth, and pacman countless times, but this rom is perfection. Thanks for the link, I wanted to try 4.3 illusion but it seems extremely buggy. I too have not found any bugs on this rom yet (finger crossed), not bad for a discontinued beta. I wish they would of continued working on 4.3

Trust me, your putting this up is very much appreciated! And don't let any of us add to your stress level, try to remember that in these posts, tone is near impossible to convey perfectly. If someone is going to verbally attack though, you'll know it. There are lots of times our posts are short and pointed, but it's simply because we already do a lot here and just want to make the point and move on. I promise you that nothing said here so far was meant personally or negatively at all. To me, xda can be a great place to escape real life for a while and still be constructive with your time. I hope this proves true for you as well!
As to your questions:
1. It's kind of hard to say tbh. Technically it's probably not considered development if you just make some minor changes/improvements, tweaks, and do a bit of theming to an existing, previously developed Rom. I think it would probably have to be determined by the amount of modification you do. Maybe someone else can chime in on this one, or you could always ask a mod what they think.
I've seen some releases in the development section that definitely would not meet the criteria, so once you implement some changes and make it yours, so to speak, I wouldn't see it as any kind of problem to move it there. Until then it will probably be viewed as more of a support thread though.
2. The part that was in question wasn't with how you thanked and gave credit to the dev. You did perfectly fine on that. The thing we didn't see addressed was whether or not you sought permission from them before posting. Knowing now that you did, it's not an issue at all. But there have been plenty of times where someone would post someone else's work, and give proper credit to the dev, but never asked if they were ok with them posting it. Even though their intentions in some instances were pure, it often would end up with the dev getting pissed and the thread being closed or removed.
Speaking for myself, whenever I see something familiar posted by someone other than the original developers, I automatically wonder if they got permission to do so. And if it's not stated, I or someone else will ask. It's not to be mean or to cause problems, but more to prevent them, and as stated, to look out for the devs interests. None of us wants to see them leave due to lack of respect or common courtesy.
Getting too long so I'll leave it at that! Thanks again!
This all being said, I've been working on speeding up and prolonging battery life. It's already smooth, so I'm just going to squeeze as much battery life out of it as possible. I will either release files you can push, or a .zip depending on everyone's preferences. That being said, battery life was nice, 4hrs, 30 minutes off my first charge cycle of on screen time. I'll upload the pic soon.
1. First line of work is the build.prop
2. Second line of work is within the init.d
3. Third line of work is going to be replacing the kernel with either KT747/Lean
4. Fourth line of work is going to be recommending/including a good inverted GAPPS package

That's pretty cool maybe some can do that but not all phones react the same way to overclocking and under volting.

Yes but several of us wanted it since the newer Android 4.3 version isn't as stable....yet.

Love this ROM! Haven't found one glitch yet and battery life is great! I'm keeping this as my new daily. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, a zip would be great. I have pretty decent battery life already, but any way to squeeze out more would be great. I also use the kt747 kernel, but when I attempted to use the TK mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207286 in conjunction with it, it completely messes up when I try to apply their build.prop mod.

Yeah, TKMod works great! We discovered a couple months ago with the latest release that their modified build.prop was not working for us for some reason. Go ahead and install TKMod but keep your current build.prop. And I use the sysctrl & modified Crossbreader too.
EDIT: from RErick in the above mentioned link-
"Uninstall the build.prop. its not that important. If it doesn't work it doesn't need to be there. Obviously we would Luke for everyone to have it, but its not our pride and joy. If the sysctrl and cross breeder works that's 95 percent of the good stuff"
Works for me!
DEVICE: SGH-T999 + ROM: Illusions 4.2.2 + KERNEL: KT747 - LJ7 + TK Mod 2.4 + Crossbreader = A FREAKIN' BEAST! now Free

Ohh okay nice, but can I ask how did you get init.d installed for the sysctrl mod? Should I use Uni-Init? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849

- The hex code for the themes color is #FF22dbd6
- To enable DD battery instead of stock battery go into TSM PARTS and in statusbar settings change the battery from 4.4 bat to 4.3 image battery.
- When flashing any of my themes if your already currently running a Sick Made theme then there is no need to wipe or flash on a clean install of the rom... just simply flash the theme! This only applies to themes that are on the same build of course.
Can't wait dude

OK theme link posted... I am gonna post some information about the theme under post #2 like the hex color... and stuff to change in Tweaked Rom TSM Parts for instance change battery to 4.3 to get the themed DD battery. I hope everyone enjoys! Will be more than likely my last theme for the Note 3 for I am gonna be switching to the Note Edge here shortly... But who knows maybe drop something here and there?

Yeah... pretty much!! This theme is ridiculously sick... Dude, I'm trading my N3 to JUMP to an N4 tomorrow, and I'm still gonna dirty flash Tweaked with this theme to rock it until I re-stockify everything. A great "goodbye gift" for my current (hopefully prior as of tomorrow...) favorite phone I've ever owned. I'm just trying to wrap my mind around the hotness of those screens... not happening! Amazing work man!!
You still thinking about one thread for all your themes would be great.

Your talking about main dialer bg? If so it's transparent but just a tad because I think it looked better more black and not as transparent as the framework bg is all.. but if there's people that would like to see it have more transparency I can whip it up

Yes I flashed 75%Trans mod.
[/COLOR]Hey SICKMADE - this theme is continually blowing my mind! Having flashed it pretty soon after it was posted, I still regularly notice small elements you've altered that make me pause and appreciate the level of detail in this theme! Also re: appreciation, thanks so much for sharing the color code in one of the OPs. I'm really big on "UI consistency", and the likelihood that I'd have been able to perfectly match that killer blue for a few elements is super low; it just looks so much better overall being able to get an exact match for a netspeed meter that I've got on the far left of the statusbar and particularly on some UCCW widgets I've made.
A couple questions: would flashing the VOLTE icon that @foreverloco made (the one that replaces the red & green arrows with just text, HD Voice be expected to cause any problems? I normally just do that after flashing any theme, but I read your OP as being pretty adamant about not "mixing" ILL with anything from other themes, so I just wanted to check if flashing something minor like that HD Voice .zip on top of your theme would have any horrific consequences, ya know, like altering all the #FF22dbd6 to #FF22dbd7... HELL NO!!
Second question: have you come across in fonts in @cbucz24's massive pack that can be installed with Tweaked that "compliment" this theme well? I've been going through them, and have some contenders.... I'm thinking that something similar but not quite as bold as the keyboard font would work well. My "go to" fav in that pack is Ultima Mod, but it doesn't really "fit" with ILL at all. Just wondering if there are any that you would you would recommend I check out?
Thanks again man, this is the first theme of yours that I've run and I'm super impressed :good:

Good lookin brother I appreciate the kind words.... cause of people like you is why I decided to start sharing my work in the first place... as far as foreverlocos data themed icon zip as long as it doesnt flash like say the whole systemui which I doubt it would but I dont even really know where exactly that icon is at I havent looked but I would assume its just a vrtheme in that case it wont hurt at all... about a certain font I personally always use SonySketch.. I been using that font for what seems like forever now. Everytime I try something new I always go back to Sony Sketch. Try it out if you havent before it looks really good!

Thanks buddy! I do recall that HD Voice zip definitely is a vrtheme, so that should be straight. It's about time for a fresh nandroid anyway, so I'll be good either way. Man, your theme played a big role in my decision to bail on my "solid, locked-down" plan to trade my Note 3 for a regular 4"... that was the very same day I learned about the super-impressive group of devs who had already upgraded / decided to go with the Edge... a day or two before @dwitherell made his 'official' announcement! I can't even tell ya how happy I am to have ended up holding on to my super-ILL Tweaked Out N3 for the time being! I really avoided some major regret there and my enjoyment of ILL was a major factor in my decision to bail on the N4 at the time... huge thanks bro!
