Before getting started I need to thank some people who have hlped me with this project or offered help to me. These people can be seen as contributors to this project, and I am grateful for their help.

Major thanks to Manup465 as he provided the status bar, the bottom notification bar, and the app bar used in one of the backgrounds. Thanks alot for your help Manup465!
Major thanks to Necromancer as he came up with the idea of replacing the fonts on the phone, between the two of use we were able to do it! Thanks alot man!
Also, before we get started, you will need root, and Jesusfreke's Mod rc30 installed(1.3), Mod ADP1(Actually, I would think that this would work on the default ADP), or Mod RC8(1.3) MAKE SURE IT'S V1.3!!!.
THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE!
While I highly doubt it will, it still could!
If you are going to do this, I very highly URGE you to install the G1 engineering bootloader. With this installed, if something does go wrong, your phone is salvageable!
JesusFreke's Mod RC30 update V1.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466174
G1 Engineering bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455860
With all that said an done I can get rid of that bold font.
This is a very simple process thanks to Jesusfreke helping me understand how to make an update.zip file which will work with his mod rc30 update.
Simply download the file, place it on your sdcard, boot your phone into the recovery mode(power+home), and hit alt+S.
Once it says its done, reboot the phone and enjoy!
Let me know if you run into any problems at all!
Let me know what you want to see in the next release, be reasonable I'm not a master image maker, and android does some strange things to some images.
Let me know if something seems out of place, or wrong.
I will try to resolve all issues as quick as I can.
Take a look at the pictures!
This theme comes with both the standard wallpaper shown and the wallpaper with the app bar provided by Manup465. These wallpapers are in the wallpaper gallery.

Besides the obvious visual differences, what else has changed or been modified/fixed/etc? I think i like your other theme better, and if there is little or nothing changed behind the scenes i think ill stick with it. Great work though guys, another original looking theme!
Awesome theme!!!!
Ouch...hope im not hit with that. But at least you can now update to JF's RC 30v1.3, and try again
momentary, message me on gtalk...I want you to try something
[email protected]
Pablizzo, I made some corrections added some fixes changed the magnifying icons and the look thats about it. It does contain bug fixes though....
same ol same
hey stericson its the same ordeal this theme is soooo sick man and i cant even flash it
success
hey i flashed the rc30 1.3 and then your theme and it worked yes! great theme
For anyone having ANY issues flashing the phone (or if you freeze up).
Take the card out and use an adaptor (or at least this is how I did it) to install JF's new 1.3 version for the phone...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466174
Once you do that, just reboot and then install the theme as shown above. Just did it and it looks AWESOME
Anyones device who froze at the g1 screen I believe the problem was that you run out of space on the device, causing some programs from getting flashed over, which would cause your phone not to boot. Installing JF's rc30 V1.3 fixes this by drastically increasing /systems free space.

Amen! With this and JF's update, I feel like I just got a new phone! The thought put into detail is amazing!
thanks for the new theme! working great so far. loving the new icons 8)
Stericson you did it again!! the main system icons are changed and i love them! your theme keeps getting better and better
for those who are missing Browser from the previous theme:
I installed JF's 1.3 then Stericson's new theme and the browser came back. I dont know if its the new theme or the order of installation.
NOTE:
For anyone getting "stuck" at the Android screen, you need the NON-ADP1 version of JF1.3. This is written for that version and NOT for the developer version.
Got stuck in a loop and didn't realize why until I did a little hunting.
Did I mention I ****LOVE**** this theme????
Ok this may be a dumb question but i have everything installed on my g1 you say is needed. One question though, i have never put a theme on g1 yet, do i need to have a previous theme installed for new one to work or can i just put this on right now?
Should work without wiping...has for everyone else. If it doesnt, just do a wipe manually.
BTW, A version of my theme for ADP1 has been released
Just installed this on my g1 after recently downgrading to rc29 then installing modded tc8 then installed jf 1.3 adp1. This theme went on no probs and didnt even have to wipe!!.
Nice work
browser icon
Is there a way to install theme and push the auto rotate browser and keep the new theme icon?
On v1.3 it wont i have tried it with the auto rotate browser i made edit to for my theme and nothing.
@Stericson
Do you know if the pics bug is the build or the themes problem? I am having this problem when you scroll the pics it goes down a little bit then resets,it does it all the time an I think its the theme that frame around the pics but where is that part in framework-res?
Oh an i think said this before this theme is HOT!!!!!
So maybe Stericson can help me. Everytime I load a new theme, and I have Koush's Auto-rotate browser set up, I lost my browser function. I can push the browser back, but then the browser icon returns to the stock icon (which sucks if you're using manup's blue theme) Anyone else having this problem?
manup's blue theme is the only one that has survived since manup has taken the auto rotate browser and applied the icon change. you can download the file here ://www.mediafire.com/?0wtm3mlntzj (file is on post #66 from blue theme thread)
change it the name to browser.apk and place on sd card and follow the steps to push it thru.
I have not found the flame theme browser icon update yet, so for now I am sticking to the blue theme until someone comes up with it unless I learn how to do it myself.
JVH, JVO and JVP themes can be found in this thread!
I was using ock's gingerbread theme for JVK and really liked versions 1-2. I'm not really interested in "all in one" themes and prefer things to be a bit more modular.
This is a "from scratch" theme, decompiled with apkmanager with graphics from AOSP source.
Also likely to only work with deodexed roms I would assume.
What this does:
* Changes the images in framework-res and SystemUI, these include the window frame shape, status bars and various other graphics.
* Changes a few text colours to properly match the new graphics.
* For the moment, has AOSP stock battery mod. (not percentages).
What this will never do:
* Change your lockscreen.
* Add more lockscreens.
* Have the extended power menu. (iirc these are "unsafe" reboots anyway)
* Include the overscroll glow.
* Include the CRT off animation.
If you're after these features I recommend popping over to ock's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010324
But, but, but, I really like the overglow effect!
dhiru1602's stand alone mod should work with these mods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027935&highlight=overscroll+glow
TODO:
- Media scanner's entry in the notification dropdown is coloured wrong. (part of TW?)
- Recolour the data connection icon on the power menu.
- Odd browser combo box size error.
- Adjust xml based colours to match AOSP.
Screenshots
Always useful to have a backup when trying new themes, so there's an "uninstall" which will replace the files back to stock.
CWM3 Compatible Installs:
Main theme:
* Install theme - aosp-jvb-vX.Xs.zip
* Samsung stock JVB theme - stock-jvbs.zip
Lockscreen:
* Install AOSP lock - aosp-lock-jvb-s.zip
* Install Samsung lock - glass-lock-jvb-s.zip
MediaProvider: (SDCard scanner)
* Install aosp themed mediaprovider - aospthemed-mediaprovider-jvb-X.X-s.zip

At present I'm not intending to skin the dialler or contacts. More or less only core system related.

It couldn't hurt to give it a shot just replacing them. Just backup your current ones.

If you're on JVK you probably shouldn't flash this. I believe they are a little different. (you may see minor graphic bugs, etc). If you pop over to ock's thread I believe v1-v2 were for JVK.

"E:signature verification failed"...any ideas?
in fact, i only want to make the signal and wi-fi bars when avalable green instead of the stock light grey.
@sargorn great job with this AOSP theme.. love it. Right now, I cant use the files you provided because I'm using a modded framework-res.apk which includes chinese. Im trying to get your look though. So far, I made the status bar black, but cant seem to get it right. Is it possible if I give you my framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk, you can mod it for me? Sorry to ask you such a big request...thanks

You're probably using the stock kernel? You need to flash a custom gingerbread kernel and/or custom rom (basically you need CWM recovery) This theme is only for deodexed roms, so if you just flashed stock via kies or otherwise this probably won't work.
For a deodexed stock rom check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
Or you can try a custom rom. Check the Development forum for those.

If you just want a minor change, can I recommend the UOT Kitchen?
http://uot.dakra.lt/
It's fairly easy to use (again, you need a deodexed rom for this), grab the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ from your phone and the SystemUI.apk from /system/app/.
Choose whichever bits you want, then upload those two files and it will generate an update you can flash with CWM.
I think everything except the Boot animation should work on the galaxy s.

I can give it a shot, but without being able to correctly test it, it might be a bit hit and miss.
It's actually not so difficult to do yourself. There is a very good tutorial in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9978779#post9978779
For the images required I grabbed them from android aosp source, or you could simply decompile my framework-res with apk manager.
Tweaking a few things to match the AOSP xml, few colours, sizes, etc.
Will run it tomorrow on my phone and see if I find any issue then upload it if it's ok.
No problems with it, 1.5 is uploaded. Some new screenshots too!
sargorn, you somehow read mi mind with this them. I'm playing with framework pieces for weeks now trying to find the stock gingerbread look for SGS .
Your theme is looking excellent from all points of view.
Anyway ... please tell me what you did in order to fix the combo box bug in browser .. thanks.
Okey friends, its finally here, Version 2.0.......
Based on XXJVT 2.3.5 base.
Its specially for 'indian' users.
please try this rom out....
Base-2.3.5 JVT
Modem-DDJV5
CSC-DDJV9
Kernel- Darkcore 4.1
lots of modifications...
I've removed a few useless apps from samsung, and added a few good ones,
and you can also customize it yourself before flashing it.
You can flash it through recovery, if you are using custom recovery like cwm, etc...
Please give it a try, hope you'll like it.
I've removed some apps from samsung that i thought were useless, but if you want, you can add them to the rom before flashing it (procedure given below).
It includes:
Kernel- Darkcore 4.1, which includes voodoo sound v10.
0Both latest Indian modem and CSC (from ddjv9)
overscroll glow (blue).
RAM Booster patches. and SD card Speed Fix.
Lagfix, Superuser, Root, BusyBox, etc inbuild.
Almost no FC's
Good Battery backup.
Remove all the useless Samsung bloatware, specially the Touchwiz 3 UI, which i so hate...making it fast.
Extended Power Menu.
BLN notification. (you need to download the BLN app from market)
Added some apps (latest Versions) - GO Launcher EX, File Expert, VooDoo Control, etc.
Stock browser with user-agent selection and unlimited tabs.
Heavily Themed Dialer, Phone, SMS app, Jog Tabs, etc. Transparent effect.
Statusbar icons from my previous rom, the "all circular" ones.
Pattern Unlock icons changed to FroYo, i liked the transparent froyo look better than the dull gingerbread look.
14 Customizable statusbar toggle buttons. ( use "QuickPanel Settings" app in the rom).
'Galaxy S - Bios Load' Boot animation.
SMS - No contact limit + No MMS convert after 3 sms.
Extended PowerMenu + CRTOff + Clear Glass Lock.
Dialog boxes and pop-up windows have black crystal-glass transparent look.
Lots more fixes, can't remember them all right now.
HOW TO INSTALL:
If u do not have CWM recovery, ie.-
if you are using "STOCK" rom, ie the official samsung rom, (or any rom that does not has CWM recovery), flash CWM Recovery first-
[If u have CWM recovery already, skip to STEP B.]
STEP A:
Flashing CWM Recovery....
**IMPORTANT NOTE** - Before flashing the CWM kernel, make sure you copy the rom zip file [ STEP C, Part 1 ].
CWM recovery kernel is a bit unstable and can sometimes give problems but its only role is to provide CWM recovery and when you complete step C, the kernel is replaced by DarkCore kernel which is very stable and the problem is solved.So if your phone goes into a boot-loop after step A, directly go to step C and complete the procedure.
Download "CWM recovery.zip" (link given below).
Extract the zip, there are two files- "odin" and "pda"....
Open odin, and in the window that appears, press 'PDA' button and browse for the 'pda' file from the zip.
Then put your phone in download mode as follows-
Turn phone off.
Hold Volume Down.
Now hold Home.(while still pressing the vol down key)
Now hold Power.(while still pressing both the previous keys)
Wait until you see samsung logo.
Release Power. (still holding onto others).
Wait until you see the download screen.
Release other buttons.
Then connect your Phone to pc, through usb,,,, odin window should show a yellow line now, after that, press 'start' on odin. When the flashing is complete, your phone will automatically reboot — and when you see the Samsung logo, you can safely unplug the cable. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
IMPORTANT Note: If ODIN gets stuck and doesn’t seem to be doing anything, or you get a FAIL message (with red background) in ODIN, do the following:
Disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery, re-insert it, turn phone on in Download mode again, and do the procedure again from Step 5.
STEP B (OPTIONAL):
Selecting which apps you want to install in the rom-
Download the System apps (link given below).
Extract the "Rom zip file" (link given below) {Latest is v2.0, but can also install older versions if u want.} to some folder,,, it should contain 5 folders- data, meta-inf,script,system,updates.
Go to folder 'system' -> 'app'.There u'll see some .apk files.samsung had many useless apps included in the stock rom, and i remove some of them to make the rom fast. but if you want them back, open the 'System apps.zip' file (link given below), and simple copy the ones you want back from that folder to the 'System' -> 'App' folder in your extracted rom files.
Now, for example, lets say, u don't like the Default samsung 'Music Player' and u use some other player from market. now, that default player is just a waste for you, cuz u don't need it and it's consuming precious space, so u can delete the "musicplayer.apk" file in 'System' -> 'app' folder in your extracted rom, so that it wont install.
After that, go back to the extracted rom files folder, and select all the five folders- data, meta-inf,script,system,updates. and right click-> send to -> compressed(zipped)folder.You'll get a new zip file, rename it to "Romv2.0", now when you flash it,,,, u'll have all the apps u wanted to (the ones you put in 'app' folder in system folder of your rom).So u can chose which apps you want and which not.
If u wanna know which .apk file corresponds to what app, search around on xda, or ask me....
Do not try to delete just any random apk from 'System' -> 'App' folder, as it might be some vital system app. Do it only for the ones you are sure about. ask me if any further queries.
STEP C:
Flashing the rom-
Copy the "Romv2.0.zip" to your phone (internal sd card {16GB}, not external)
Go to "recovery mode" as follows-
Turn phone off.
Hold Volume Up.
Now hold Home.(while still pressing the vol down key)
Now hold Power.(while still pressing both the previous keys)
Wait until you see samsung logo.
Release Power. (still holding onto others).
Wait until you see the Recovery screen.
Release other buttons.
In recovery mode, use volume keys to go Up or Down, and Power key to Select something.
Select 'Install zip from SD card'
Browse to "Romv2.0.zip" and select it.
Let the process finish.
And voila, you are done.!!!

Could you post some ScreenShots please?
sure,,,, will be posted soon.
Great work Ritesh. Will try it. BTW, Put [ROM] at the beginning of the Title.
Looks exciting... Please post some screenshots
is spellchecker in this rom as it looks like you need it ?
@Ritesh, there are a lot of typos in your OP. Hope you find time to correct them. I can help you if you want.
PS : When you type in English, think English. BTW, I have given this thread a 5-star rating.
hm,hm....
Well,, I'm not very comfortable with laptop keyboard and my external keyboard was not working, so...
But I'll correct them soon enough.

I am already using your ROM since yesterday night & its really good. Yea, the All Circle notification idea looks good in your ROM.
Ritesh, I think you need to expand your Title to reflect the Base, the Modem, & the CSC. You need to make your thread more clear in the Title that this is the BEST ROM available for Indian user.
PS : I have some issues with your ROM. Sometimes randomly & at times when I start the phone, the graphics get corrupted & turn to a hue of green where you can't know what's what. Is this an issue with the theme? I have been using other ROMs & have never faced this problem.
thanx for the initiation !!
@ragin
i know what u're talking about, that issue is not with theme, it was never there till i was using other kernels, then i changed back to darkcore 2.9 and this problem was gone, check the first post, i've mentioned it there in the end, will upload the rom with new kernel and update the link soon.
apparently, galaxian v1.1 kernel doesn't likes the voodoo color fix too much.
the green color at startup is normal, its there till voodoo color fix initiates, just like u have 'media scanning' going on at startup, its normal.
but if u mess with voodoo control settings too much, it starts happening at random times too.
Guys, version 1.2 is out now...... you might wanna check it out.

Kronic BlueMod V 4.3 / V5.1 for 4.2 framework
- i posted v5 on a reply... wasn't thinking it's on page 1.
- it is normal for first boot to take a long time after flashing mod, during this time the system is updating the cache partitions new drawables etc because system files changed. 1-3 minutes maybe. if it starts to take really long then flash backup zip or reflash the rom you were using to patch the files back to normal, this shouldn't really happen though unless you get currupt download or flash to incompatible rom.
for bell based v20f, also works on most other v20f but some icons may need to be swapped.
- to backup original ui, make a copy of this zip, open the copy with 7-zip, replace /system/app/systemui.apk and /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the CURRENT ones from your phone (adb pull them or something) then rename the copied zip originalUI.zip and put it on your sdcard, in case something goes wrong you can reflash it to go back to default.
- to install just flash the zip in recovery mode, do not wipe cache partitions, the android OS will update them when it sees changed files.
enjoy!!!!
p.s. i don't take responsibility for you breaking your phone.
if you aren't confident in moding these files, but you want something changed just post what it is and i'll do my best to provide you with a personal patch. if there is an icon i missed on the rom you use, let me know and i'll update. (many roms use differant icons)
- if this doesn't work with your rom you can request that i write one specifically for your rom and i may do it.
i do intend on adding other color versions of this so feel free to request colors.
this UI mod is intended to make the amazingly stable and battery friendly v20f a real option by making it pretty.
other additions i recommend are:
power toggles (has a homescreen widget that add's reboot menu with recovery option and bypasses reflashing on reboot by this i just mean a faster reboot by using a root reboot command instead of stock reboot which takes forever)
pocket skip track (allows you do add screen off track switching functionality to stock roms.)
mx camera (gives you hdr camera options without removing 1080p video capabilities like cm10.1)
apex launcher (jelly bean style launcher with lots of options)
exdialer ( a good free dialer with some really nice theme's i bought a payed one for 2 dollars or something that's black and blue)
MHL works on stock roms (micro usb -> hdmi -> tv)
the rom i recommend to run with this is
the legend Ho!No!'s v20f mod 2

happy texting !!!
the other feature of this is it should theoretically run smoother than stock files due to less compression.
i will also be posting email.apk LGMms.apk LGCalendar.apk with some better black theme's
this mod is not new but i'm just trying to make a universal one for v20f now, i already have alot of happy users.
--added in 4.3 is standard black background with blue text (on title bar) for any apps or widgets that use default framework values, so far on mine it works for quite a few.
i don't think this will work on roms that aren't deodexed
Kronics BlueMod V5
V5.1 has a few divider fixes and the tab for slider panels/quicksettings in status_bar_expanded
the lockscreen is for pattern lock check attachment if u wanna see it
the screenshot for the quicksettings panel is from before the cyan color was fixed to neon blue
screenshot 16 is V4.3 the others are 5.0, in 5.1 the bottom tab color is fixed on screenshot 26
in 5.0+ BlueMod tag is removed i decided the average person probably doesn't want it.
in 5.1 the bottom bar in expanded panel color is fixed
- i did more work to framework-res to change more of the default backgrounds and font color's for 3rd party apps and such, there are a few system apps that i think have to be modded individually because it didn't apply for them, but you should see some of your apps starting to inherit the theme.
for the pattern lock mod, i disable the showing of the lines because it's extremely hard to mod, it's done in some equation in a smali file somewhere that is differant location on most phones, until someone that has a strong grasp of smali that uses LG phones takes a look i can't mod that

Kronics BlueMod v5
This has only been tested on the rom with 4.2 framework v20f, if someone wants to try flashing it on a non updated framework v20f and let me know if it works that is cool, if not i'll do it when i get a chance, if u do it backup your original files to a flash first.
i already fixed the highligher on the bottom tab for settings panel that is slightly the wrong color (greenish) coming in next update
i'm currently investigating the issue that is causing long reboots on every reboot instead of the first one after install. it doesn't seem to be affecting system performance but i know that is probably annoying people so i'm looking into fixing it.
edit i wiped all drives and installed the rom without the mod and it was only 15 seconds or so faster boot, i think this rom just has a long boot (the 4.2 framework one)
Tired of the overall whiteness in Xperia LP 5.1.1? I was/am!
TL;DR jump to Requirements,
So wanted to theme my phone to be basically black/dark with white text and this fairly simple setup will get your Xperia LP 95% themed.
I say 95% as I’m using a debloated Xperia and there might be some of the things I have removed which wont be themed (dont know as I dont have them) and this setup has a few caveats but believe I’ll eventually get it fixed by finding the correct Layers theme or parts thereof.
General theming can get you some of the way but cannot do anything with the things under the hood like Settings, Dialer, Contacts and so on….
Then I discovered Layers Theming – [BitSyko] Official Layers and BitSyko Apps [RRO]
To my understanding, the problem for the Xperia Rom is the Rom has to have built-in the Layers Theme Engine (RRO commits) version 2.xx (SimpleAOSP, Terminus, Chroma, BoostPop, SlimRom to mention a few Roms which has) for layering to work and stock Xperia LP only has version 1.0 which means some things will work other things wont.
Reading in the ‘Official Layers and BitSyko Apps’ thread came across @jam0688 whom posted he had been able to fully layer stock LP – see post #1319 for pointers on how he managed this.
So basically you can mix and match various Layers themes to your heart’s content and using @jam0688’s tips I started experimenting, with a lot of trial and errors and a world of reboots.
It is tedious as you have to reboot every time you make a change – be it installing a theme or just a part of it, un-installing something because it gives white on white or black on black, boot to Recovery to remove a ‘bad’ theme because of boot-loop, black screen or freezes.
Anyway, finally found Prime Layers Theme which more or less layers Xperia.
Caveats:
The Title banners for each section in Settings are white on white but otherwise works perfectly for the underlying sub-sections -SOLVED by @caki25 see under requirements/install
Dialer and Contacts were white on white but solved this by using @Wajk’s Dialer & Contacts Mods 3.3.
Contacts in the separate Contact apk are hard to read - almost black on black but can be read with light set to 100% - presently I've left it un-ticked and use Contacts in the Dialer.
Push/holding Power button normally gives pop-up menu for Power Off, Reboot etc but nothing shows and holding the Power button reboots the phone - solved this by using Gravity Box and assigning Application Launcher to e.g. the Back key and assigned Quick Reboot (which has a dark theme built-in) to slot 1.
See Pics. Last pic is with @caki25's Evolve find :good:
Although far from perfect wanted to share my overall progress as others might be interested and willing to participate in the trial and error process - it just requires a lot of re-boots until we find the right combinations. Heck, it doesnt have to be Black n White, it can be any setup as the important thing is to find out which Layers themes (or parts thereof) works on stock Xperia.

Requirements: All FREE
1. Rooted with Recovery & Xposed installed
2. Layers Manager from GooglePlay
3. Prime Layers Theme from GooglePlay
4. Quick Boot from GooglePlay
5. Gravity Box - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3575089&d=1450020739
6. Google Dialer with Sony InCallUI 3.3 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3427009&stc=1&d=1438603555
7. Evolve Layers from GooglePlay
Install:
1 Install Layers Manager, open and check ‘Hide unnecessary Overlays’
2 Install Quick Boot and setup through Gravity Box
3 Boot to Recovery and flash ‘Google Dialer with Sony InCallUI 3.3’
4 Install ‘Prime Layers Theme’ & 'Evolve Layers'
5 Open Layers Manager and check following in Prime Layers:
General overlays:
1 Framework – change to Lollipop dark in the dropdown to the right
Style specific overlays:
Make sure it says ‘1 Dark’ or the same as you choose for ‘1 Framework’
Choose the apks you want to theme. Note, Greenify (Contacts) didn’t work for me but all others were themed.
Install (no reboot just yet), then go back to Installer Overlays and install from Evolve Layers:
(STYLE)SettingsNoTitle
Now reboot but when asked to Soft re-boot just press anywhere outside the pop-up box and it will disappear. Then hard re-boot. (Soft re-boot hangs for me)
For best result when switching complete themes, un-install present theme via Layer Manager and then reset Layer Manager - just go to Settings - Apps - All and clear data. Your installed themes will still be there in Layer Manager.
If a ‘bad’ theme is causing boot-loop, black screen or freezes - reboot to Recovery, Mount System, go to Advanced- FileManager- System- Vendor- Overlay and delete the 'bad' theme, reboot.
Above is tested on a Sony Z3C.

i think light blue color is better than black.Anyway Thanks again:good:
I'll try with Commute UI ... it has an option (in the Evolve package) to make the Settings page without headers, so the white bars are not there .. possibly only Evolve is enough .. I will let you know.
Edit: Yup, did work just fine ... Although that Hangouts dialer with Xperia UI threw some error when flashing ...

Great news. Will give it a try :good:
Not sure what you mean by 'Hangouts dialer.....' - the one I flashed is a Google Dialer with Sony UI.
Anyhow, when flashing the dialer it automatically makes a backup of the original Sony dialer, just flash this file to restore: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3427011&stc=1&d=1438603555
