Hey guys,
Back when I still had a Motorola Triumph, I was able to flash a mod that made the notification, apps menu and other menus white (or light or whatever) instead of the usual black coloration. Is there anything like this for the nexus 4 yet? If so could it be flashed as a mod or would I have to install a custom ROM first? If there isn't I'd like to request one... Once I find the screenshots of my old phone (I know they're around somewhere) I'll upload them for reference.
AW: White System UI/Notifications
Install miui, you will probably like it. It has a light theme and runs ultra fluid
Problem :miui isn't available yet.
What you could do is install PA/AOKP/CM and install a light theme

Using a ROM with Theme Chooser, install chromium theme. It makes the many of the menus white.
I'm using cm 10.1 and have also been trying to find a white UI theme. Not really a fan of the miui style. I like the vanilla android ui but would like to try it with a white holo look instead of the all black.

Not a bad theme. Small issues here and there, but otherwise very good. May be perfect for you.
I'm going to give it a try. Not a fan of the notification icons, desktop icons, or soft key themes but I suppose those can modded.

Try a kanged ROM, they usually have features, like that...
If there is nothing else, that features that sort of mod, then download Jack Pham, he had that stuff built in, but he also distributes pirated software... :/
You could prob compile your own rom with it white. But welcome to screen burn in city. That's why Google changed it to black.
Thanks for the replays its just the icons to change I'll look into that jack pham you mentioned. As for compliling wouldn't know where to begin lol. Any dummies guides?

The icons are already white, you just have to reduce the transparency (available in AOKP)

Do you even know what kanged means? Slim is basically a kang of AOKP.
AFAIK there are NO roms that allow you to change the signal color, or the battery color, without a theme.
Hmm..shame I'm not looking to theme just the icons hopefully the kitchen will support ics soon

If you want the whole statusbar in white, you can try a few themes if you have AOKP or a rom with theme chooser support.
Syk Sky is a predominantly white theme for AOKP.
Frost is a paid theme in the market but I think it is the best white theme out there so far. It has a white statusbar with black icons if that suits your fancy.
Ghost is a combo AOKP flashable.zip + theme chooser theme for those that want something more complete.
Sorry, I was thinking the nav bar when i have my earlier response...
If you want to switch icons, i would recommend finding a battery circle mod and switching the icons out in the mod before flashing it - I use CirclesMod by Hooolm

They also changed it to black, because they wanted Android to look sleek, and modern ^^

Once I get to my computer I will write a quick tutorial no problem
Here is my latest navbar/battery icon switchup LOL since I am in the Marine Corps I of course want those images in my themes
Ok now what I do is open up (right click and chose open archive) my systemui with 7 zip and change out the images in the drawable-xhdpi (being sure of course to make sure they match titles and relative size). Then I go to drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi and swap out those images and back out of systemui. Then package them up in a zip and flash in CWM because sometimes the changes do not take hold when you just use root explorer and swap out the old with the new systemui. Let me know if you need anything else, I hope this helped.

Nice job! This coupled with an ICS icon pak I had for my GNex looks pretty sweet indeed. Great job and it's good to see support so quick for a new tablet. Great quality also.
Does anyone know how to mod the softkeys to make 4, or even 5, instead of 3? It would be nice to have at least a Search key on the bottom instead of the top.

im running it on sparksco's cm10 builds

Give V4 a try, if it still does it I will download that rom and see whats going on. I built this theme based off of Winners CyanMod 10 so if there are changes to the systemui or framework-res there may be some unexpected problems, but if there is enough demand I can def theme that rom too

I'm thinking about installing this, but I was just wondering what is the procedure to reverting back to the stock them once this is installed?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
If you decide to install this theme and it doesnt work or boot loops then the only way back is to flash a nandroid back-up. So please backup your rom before you flash this theme and if it doesnt work for you or you dont like it (cant see that LOL) you can go back to what you had before. Its not like a zip theme that creates a undue zip. Hope that helps!

I've been looking everywhere for this theme, the closest I come to is the Syk Sky in the forums, but that theme hasn't been updated since July. I just want standard holo color/icons with white status/navbar and notification pull down. oh I'm on AOKP JB build 2.

This is exactly what I want. Chromium theme comes pretty close but it has gray selections and less blue but it still has its fair share of blue... I like it.

Hi,
I really want a theme that will simply change the settings page and other default applications such as messaging etc backgrounds to the same style background as the new Google play, Google Now, Google Music and google books apps...
Ive tried MIUI's theme but instead of the blue borders and buttons they are orange and changes a lot of icons etc which im not keen on...
ive had a go at editing it but im really new to theming and can't recompile the files
does anyone know if there is anything currently out there or know how to create one?
Mike
Hmm, maybe you can try out SF launcher? I'm using it and it's quite smooth. Seems to me like it fits what you want.

I've been looking and looking for a white theme for android 4.3/4.2.2 but have failed to find any.
I'm tired of my jet black/ purple theme.
I've tried to learn how to theme but all the posts i find are rather outdated.
My device is the d2spr running the latest slimbean weekly.
Id like it white/purple. Like the betterbean purple x theme, just white instead of black. With the messaging YouTube Gmail browser phone people and Apollo apps themed the same way.
But i would just like the system messaging YouTube browser and Apollo apps themed. You can do them all if you'd like.
If no one wants to do this at least give me a link to somewhere i can learn, and where all the things files i want to theme are at, like the menus, settings, text, quick settings, etc.
I might be able to but won't start till Thursday

It's not that simple. You'd be better off not using slimbean since that rom comes dark themed. It would take a while to theme just the framework needed to pull this off. Gmail can't be themed at all right now, it breaks the app if you try. I think it will be awhile before you see white theme that is fully functioning on the gs3.
THEMER- the stupidest thing ever to have users add widgets to their homescreens since UCCW and Zooper.
Sweet
