Well... As of a screenshot this is weird... Same firmware?

the same theme, the same firmware, same settings (BE, brightness...), at this point no root and locked BL...
mine looks more vivid everywhere...
easy compare:

Take screenshots of about phone, settings etc. from both phones, then upload it here again

Mine looks as your friend's.

It should still be the same as brightness does not affect the picture... Neither does BE

Thanks. Here's my screenshot.

Mine is like friend's op's.
It's touch firmware 7. I don't know, maybe it's the rom that caused this? I use xzx1.
And I don't think both pictures have different quality, one is darker than the other.. that's all.

Xperia S home launcher and widgets leaked

Xperia S home launcher and widgets were leaked by the guys at XPERIA Blog (credit to them)
From there the only .apk that's working on our Galaxy Nexus is a beautiful Live Wallpaper called Earth. I thought I'd share that one.
Also, if somebody manages to port the Music Player that would be AWESOME!

Same for me. I just tried it on my stock Verizon Gnex and while it installs without any errors, it immediately FCs when trying to set it as the wallpaper for my phone.
Cosmic LWP a no go here also. Maybe a dev can cook us up a compatible one?

Anyone use a live wallpaper?

If so, which one are you using? I am currently using the beautiful weather one, but I also wonder how much it affects my battery life. Would like to try out some others also.

I really like cosmic flow and the world one. It was strange that all the live walls are stripped from the carrier devices. Thought it was funny that International GB had the World live wall and nothing else. Well maybe it had maps to.

I'm using Light Grid on my XAS ... with grey/black theming.
Moved to Q&A
I use "Fresh Leaves" =)

Xperia S Settings UI

I'm theming our Settings, based on Xperia S Settings UI.
I have a question from those who have experience in theming.
As you can see in the first attached picture, the dividers are not complete, like Xperia S. But still in some parts those dividers are complete. you can see them in the second picture.
I tried anything that I could think of but no luck.
Does anyone know which value I should change to make theme look like the first picture, like Xperia S?
Thanks in advance.
It will be an image you need to change and not a value.
What ?

Yes, it's an image, but both of them are the same image. I know that because I changed the color and both dividers had the smae color.
I made the settings like that by changing some value as you can see in the first picture, but I can't find the right value for all pages of Setting.
Okay, I'm thinking again

[S] firmware .200 white messages, dial...

Hello, XDA members,
I've upgraded today to JB .200 firmware and messages / dialing numbers background is white? I've tried to change themes but that didn't help much.
Do you happen to know where to set black background?
Regards,
Lucas
There is no way to set the background of dialer and messages. Face it.
Or maybe later somebody will post a theme to change the background of these apps to black.
Thanks for the answer, but it really looks strange, that everything is in dark and messaging / dialer are in white. I use this phone often in low light environment that is why this white color is such just horror to my eyes.
I'm sure that ICS had dark scheme all over the place but JB so smooth that I won't downgrade to ICS.

I know a way to make it black. There is a ROM in S section called eXintenZ. Download black version or ask someone for apk you wants. And use it. But you have to be deodex to use it.

Not to be offensive, but I should say that this is not a dark theme at all. Even the T9 dialer is in white.

He needed to modify a lot of framework stuff to the dark theme would be complete. Highly recommend you to install EXisTenZ.

It is, but it doesn't behave like one (ie. An app). It is responsible for a huge load of stuff. Make one small thing wrong with it, and your phone enters a bootloop

For the dark theme MOD, just root and working recovery is required.
For eXistenZ ROM, currently it is for unlocked bootloader only, but niaboc79 is busy making v2, which can be flashed on locked bootloader.

Niaboc protected his mods somehow that it only works with his ROM.
About your PM, first you need a good working framework that won't give you a load of errors when compiling back.

Black settings background ?

Hi,
I would very much like to have a black background in settings but I cannot find any mods.
I did have black background before I had to reflash the Hyperdrive rom with blue text but now I cannot get it back and I don't know what I did.
Anyone have any ideas ?
I hate white backgrounds and a damn android for being white from stock. They should make some more options for theming the devices in stock roms and black background saves battery life as well.

That applies to AMOLED displays. The Note 2014 has a backlit LCD display, not an AMOLED. Black and white colors have the same power draw; brightness (of the backlight) is going to determine how much power the screen consumes.
Black settings background might be more visually appealing to you, but you're not going to notice any extra battery life from it.
