Is there a ROM that has a white/light theme for Nexus 4? Stock Google is black-ish UI but I prefer something that is light. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
Best option is to find a theme that is light, and use on a custom ROM with theme chooser.
Here's a thread with a bunch of themes
Search in that thread for chromium, santoyu, and miui v5 concept. There's not many light themes and also the ones that are available can have black text on black background issues.
U can also checkout the Gnex themes they have nice ones also that i have used on my N4
NEXUS⁴
Thanks guys- will definitely check out both

Introduction
Hello everybody! My name is Nitroz. I am a themer for TeamKang, thanks to Roman for letting me in You will be seeing alot more content from me and in the AOKP ROM. Some of you may know me from the Galaxy SII forum (Here), I sort of got my "fame" for porting the Black Android Theme by Pele. The theme got about 60,000 downloads and 100,000 page views and counting! But I decided to move onto an AOSP phone and start creating my own themes since I have gained the experience to do so. So welcome! If you're looking for a Black, Minimalistic theme for your Galaxy Nexus then this is the thread for you.
What is Black Exodus?
Well, when I first got my Galaxy Nexus one thing stood out to me which I didn't like. The color scheme of Ice Cream Sandwich. Its a very dull Blue color which I didn't tend to like for the most part, plus the dialer backgrounds were, in a way, fugly. So I decided to take on the task of making the style as minimalistic as possible with a nice Black & White design instead of Blue. This is what Black Exodus is, a nice, Black & White simplistic color scheme. Maintaining the ICS look, but with a White color instead of Blue.
Why Are You Moving to the Theme Chooser?
As most of you know, the other day via Twitter, Roman and Kejar announced that they have managed to get the theme engine from CM9 working on their ROM's (Gummy and AOKP) I've been working closely with Roman and AdamTheCashew and testing Black Exodus for the theme engine and turns out it works! So no more CWM Flashable ZIPS (Unless you want the inverted apps).
Why Are There No Inverted GApps?
Since I am very new to the CM Theme Engine and had to work it all out for myself, I haven't got round to including the inverted GApps (If its at all possible). I'm more concentrated on theming as many system apps as possible whilst maintaining a small APK size
Installation Instructions
-Download the BlackExodus from the Market links provided
-Depending on which ROM you're using, go to Settings>Themes (This is for CM9)
-Apply Black Exodus (There's no preview yet)
-Hit Apply Anyway
-Reboot for the navbar to theme properly
-You've been Exodus'd!

Do you think you could make a metamorph or zipthemer file to theme the extras that theme engine can't? For example stuff like power menu? Would be amazing to get rid of ALL the blue. Loving your work regardless. Does hurt to ask. Ha. Thanks again!!
You're Kurt Colbeck, right? I hope I'm not wrong. But if you're Kurt, then I'm a great fan of your theming work! I follow your work on Galaxy Nexus evening regularly on Google+, even though I don't have one.. It's great to see your work on the S II forums!
Big fan of yours from black android theme AKA the best theme EVER!
Glad to see your work again (and not on miui,hehe)
Take care & thanks

Power menu is themed if you're on a new CM9 build. Or (I would assume) on an AOKP build based on b36.

Running this awesome theme on my Nexus S CM9 nightly. Really like it and donated after trying the free one out. One question.. should the messenger be black? Mine isn't so I'm wondering if it should or because I'm on a Nexus S. Again awesome theme! Worth the $!

feel free to PM me to try and argue back
can anyone recommend a preferably dark (if not black) theme that i can apply to wild for the night?? Ive tried a few, and stuck on crimson cobalt, but while colors are great, their also pretty vivid which provides for a healthy battery drain as well....I love this rom just need to personalize & dial it down a notch without having to switch to stock....
What about this one?
Or this

Same here, just doesnt seem totally themed unless icons are changed as well, Tried black simplicity, & carbon was way cool, but could not get them to apply correctly, which rom u on?
The Rom I'm using right now is the XPERIAnceZen Rom. And what do you mean that the theme isn't being applied correctly
I really need a theme for CM to make the icons in the status bar not that ugly cyan color... So sick of it and would love a minimal theme to change the status bar icons to white and the whole theme of the phone to white because I hate that cyan color. Please help me find one? I remember seeing on a while back before installing CM and there was a blue and white one and it looked amazing but unfortunately I forgot the name of that theme. Any help much appreciated! OH and how do I install a theme?

Do you want white icons or a whole white theme?
For white icons I highly recommend Black Infinitum, there is a free version in the store. For a white theme, try Frost by sonny. I really like that
Install Xposed framework and a module called Xblast Tools. It allows you to tint the statusbar icons to what ever color you want.

as far as I know, this theme is free. I've searched everywhere to find where I got it, but have never been able to find the source. If it's a paid app, please let me know and I will remove this link.

BLACK INFINITUM! It was that one, cheers man, appreciate it heaps. I love it! Do I need any cm theme installer to use it?
You have a CM rom right? In that case just install from the market or apk then go to 'themes' in settings and apply it.
Just curious if anyone knows if there is, or if there are plans for, a sense ROM with aosp theming?
When I was on the note 2, there was a couple TW roms that had this. It would be my ideal ROM.

coming from the sg3/sg4, where all I ran was my ROM with AOSP themed TW.
I have been wanting to make an AOSP theme, but would be very difficult. Best theme out there is for EclipticOne Hawks dark inverted theme.
I have plans to kang that basically and make it gray inversion, basically the same but instead of all black backgrounds they will be the HTC Sense gray color that some of the backgrounds already are, for ex. favorites in the dialer.

Cool! Would like to see this! Really, what I want is aosp style notification icons. I'll give EclipticOne a try.

That actually is the easiest part..
That is just replacing the .png images in the SystemUI.apk
Matching the pop ups, and the rest of the .png images in the hard part, then finding all the colors in all the different .xml files it's ridiculous how much time these things take. I worked with the best themer on the sg4 he was working blind with me to get the aosp theme and we got it about 90% done, but WOW, what a PITA..
I will work on a SystemUI.apk for you as that's easy and actually usually the first thing that can be worked on.
No idea when I'll get to this, not sure if I'll wait for 4.3 to drop or not either, cos an android upgrade like 4.2.2 to 4.3 should be quite different.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a full blown aosp theme!! But those are some of the things that initially bug me.
Thanks for offering to do this!! Whenever you get to it is cool. This is the main reason I love the Android community!
I would like to try some stock-based ROM on the G3, but I just cannot stand white/bright spaces in stock-based roms. There is a so called "dark" theme for Fulmics, but I think calling dark a theme where 80% of screen is blinding white is a joke. Is there something else or do I have to stick to CM-based roms?

Did you find a dark theme? I am after one but can only see themes dark at the top with white everywhere else like you mentioned. I'm guessing it isn't as popular on this device as it has not got amoled screen which benefits from black themes but I much prefer dark UI.

Nope. I moved to LineageOS-based roms for many reasons.

Can I also ask, what is the camera like? The only reason I'm still on stock is because the stock camera is the best and couldn't get it to work on any other rom for some reason, the auto focus was terrible but tried this about a year ago so may be different now.
