[Q] Hideous default blue theme - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So guys, I took the plunge and got myself a brand new grey Note 2. Coming from a Gnex I couldn't be more happy. However, what's up with the abysmal blueish theme throughout (internet browser, menu headers, etc)? Is there a way to change it, without rooting that is? I nearly perfected the Note 2 using Nova and some apps, but this blue theme is killing me

Use another browser

No, I will not use another browser since stock is best/smoothest. It's not only about the browser. Also the dialer, settings menu (headers), etc. The blue color scheme overall really.

Well, that's touchwiz for ya... You can only flash a theme for your ROM, there should be another better solution soon (I hope) with the help of Xposed framework and XTheme, but for the time being we have no ported themes for this...

Change system color - CM-7.2.0-jordan

Hi,
I am looking for a hint how to change the color of the bar icons in my CM7.2? The icons for WLAN, Battery and that stuff comes in a disgusting turquois style, I hate that. I would like to have the green color back like in the old version! How to do?
BTW: I use Launcher PRO, and not the AWD launcher. I tried it with AWD launcher and themes, but this only affects the "front", but not the system in the main bar on top of the screen. So I do NOT want to check themes or something, I am satisfied with it like it is, except color.
Thanks! ;-)
In app draver should be theme chooser, select system there.

Did you read my posting!?
I do NOT (!!!!!) want another theme!
I am satisfied with this one, the standard from installing.
I just want to change the main color of the CM System, (used in the battery icon, the WLAN-Icon and other stuff, right on the right top of the phone for example) from turquois to the green and old one.
You can certainly change the colour by editing framework stuff. But I would like to inform you that it is not easy but not impossible.
You will need to use adb and stuff. Sorry I don't remember the exact details/step.
Plus be warned if done incorrectly it can semi-brick your phone. I will insist its better to look for other CM7 themes for theme chooser. The are hundreds of them.

You dont have to install another theme, it should be in the themechooser already named System, but CM7 defaults to their own Cyanbread theme.
You could use UOT kitchen too.

I feel like someone should say this... You do realize you're running CYANogenMod, right?
Just kidding. Variety is the spice of life. Hopefully one of these guys will be able to show you an easy way to accomplish this.

Orange color in messaging any way to change it?

Now that I have lollipop the top bar of messaging app is this ugly orange color. Does anyone know how to change this?
Yeah I hate that too. It's going to require a rooted phone plus either a custom theme, a rom with a theming engine or learn how to change it yourself. At any rate it does require root. The only Verizon Note 4 that can currently be rooted is the Developer Edition. They can only be bought at the Samsung website and they are out of stock there. Sorry for the bad news.
Hit the menu on the left and select background, you can change the background, header and bubbles to any color you want.

I think they are talking about in the stock Samsung messaging app not Verizon's Message+ app
Ah ok ..... sorry. There is no way that I have discovered to change the header color on the stock Samsung messenger app.

Touchwiz rom with app themer?

Are there any TW roms that have an app themer like CM13? Or is there an app that works like this for TW?
I really liked that feature in CM13 and never noticed it any where for TW.
Thanks.
depends on how much you need colored
Xposed/Wanam is mainly the goto to get different colors in pulldown and more
and far as native change like stock feel you would need to look at the Note 5 Port because they actually have a theme store something similar to CM theme situation

Thanks, i know xposed is a big way to do all kinds of stuff to your phone. But i haven't spent much time with it. I'm gonna have to start tinkering with it. I even have it stored on my sd card, just haven't made the time. :good:

What is the hex code for the blue in Android 7.1.1?

Specifically I mean the little arrow when selecting text, the bar on the brightness bar, your profile picture in the drop down menu, the phone app, contacts app, etc.
I'm trying to build a themed home screen and I need the exact code to make matching colors if possible please. Thank you.
I found this
Want to share you creation after? I love that blue color and have been trying to think of ideas for theming some more stuff but I'm still learning
I have always liked this blue playstore!

I've always been partial to the old ICS blue for trim on a dark theme.

Thanks! I may share it if I have some new idea but for now my theme is just for the calendar widget. My old idea is no longer good (one I used on ICS) since I had day, time, and weather on my home screen which is now in a built in widget.
If you're looking for the Pixel specific blue then the hex is #4885ED. If it's just the blue in Nougat then I'm not sure. Pixels got a different shade of blue than everyone else.

Need tips on a dark / black theme

I've been looking for a black theme, all these white menus hurt my eyes
There used to be a switch in settings to make everything including menus etc black but it seems to have been switched to the theme manager. Can't seem to find a theme with dark background and white text in menus, they mostly just change wallpaper.
Any advice?

Learn how to theme.
Unfortunately, it can't be done. When you create a theme for an Xperia phone, you create a dark theme and a light theme, but it is not up to the theme developer or the user which of those themes to use. Sony has explicitly decided which of their apps will use each theme, and there does not seem to be a user-facing option to change it.

IICR if you put it to the stock launcher then go to themes when long pressing the screen those themes should change the whole phones theme.

Upgrade your phone to Android Oreo 8.0

Is there a substratum theme that doesnt break my apps? I was using the mono/art theme for substratum but everytime an app like WhatsApp or messages got an update it would force close the app when I would try to launch it until I remove the theme or it gets an update. Is there a theme where this wont happen? I was also getting force closes with WiFi toggled on and off.
substraum very buggy on oreo
