Old phone apk - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

I am helping out my visually impaired friend with his phone. He is having a hard time with the inverted contrast of the new phone apk after the kk update. Is there any way to change it back to black background/white letters? Do I need to flash the old apk? Does anyone have it? He is not rooted and I feel it may be better if I could avoid doing that too. Thanks in advance from him. I

You can try bad seed apps. They have inverted quite a few things. Google bad seed android apps and see if they have done a dialer yet.

[Q] DefaultTheme.apk

Hey guys!
Could anybody upload a DefaultTheme.apk with the standard themes and Flow (ICS) added?
And please don't post any link to a theme I'm already using one and it's awesome.
The only problem is that it hasn't a ICS Theme in the designs included.
That is hard to do.

And is it without the standard thems (I don't really need them) hard too?
Or could someone give me little HOW TO?
I suppose I need APK Manager.
Is hard any way.

Okay.
But in many themes there's already a ICS theme (like Flow) in the DefaultTheme.apk?
Could someone just upload one?
Would be very nice.

Xperia Rom?

So I'm currently running the newest Jedi rom. But for Christmas my sister and I bought my father the Xperia TL and through setting it up and getting it ready to give it to him on Christmas Day I realized how seriously awesome and fluid the ui is. The lock screen is super smooth and notifications come on it looking clean, the messaging app is great and the overall look and feel makes me feel like, when looking at my note's tw ui and even using nova launcher, like I'm using a kid's toy and the real deal is over on the xperia.
So tl;dr does anyone know of a way to get the xperia interface or look running on a note 2?
I realize one option would need a whole rom and a lot of work to get it working with S Pen functionality and etc, but are there any options that I haven't thought of? I'm nothing more than a guy who learned to flash roms so me taking on a project like that is little more than impossible. Just wondering if anyone else feels the same way or has accomplished what I'm setting up for.

[ROM][ 4.1.1 JB TW // Nexus 4 Hybrid]

Hey whats up everyone. First off let me mention that I'm not a developer by any means, so please don't start flaming. I simply want to share my small little creation -- A stock touchwiz rom (I mean stock everything -- Kernel, Baseband, etc), but with as much pure google-ness as possible, all while maintaining stability and functionality.
Rom
Official Stock 4.1.1. JB (Rooted)
De-bloated both T-Mobile (even Carrier IQ) and Samsung stuff.
Theme
ICS Blue Status bar with G, E, H, and H+ Signal icons
ICS Blue Status bard Toggles (Wi-Fi, GPS, etc)
ICS Blue Phone Dial Pad
ICS Blue themed stock MMS
4.2 Contacts Icons
Nexus 4 .apks
Nexus 4 Calculator
Nexus 4 Google Calendar
Nexus 4 Gmail 4.2 with pinch-zoom function
Nexus 4 Keyboard w/ Swype function & Emoji
Nexus 4 GTalk
Nexus 4 Jellybean Launcher
Nexus 4 Alarms, Notifcations, and Ringtones
Nexus 4 Clock
Nexus 4 Google News and Weather
Injected .apks
Google Wallet w/ NFC Fix for JB Touchwiz Roms. (Must follow these **simple** instructions to get this to work! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083)
DSP Manager from CM10
Touchwiz Apps
Camera (Because 4.2 camera with photosphere is not 100% operational and FC's -- whether it be because of the gallery, auto focus, or flash)
Gallery (Goes hand in hand with the TW Camera)
MMS (Because 4.2 MMS, you can't edit your own photo contact, but everyone else's you can. Not a big deal but again -- 100% stability is the goal)
S-Memo (Just cause I draw stuff, but you can delete it from "systems/app" folder if you want.)
Video Player (Because the Picture-in-Picture feature is nice to have)
So yea. Everything is fully functional, and whatever was not, was not installed. Wi-Fi calling works as well. Anything you feel like adding to it, go for it. This is just my build, the way I like it. I hope you all enjoy.
For more "Buttery" Smoothness, set all animation scales in the Developers Section in your settings menu to 0.5. :good:
As always, do the following
Make a Backup
Wipe Data and Cache
To install, you must place this Backup into your CWM Recovery Folder, and Restore from there. Thats it!

Looks good bud! Thanks
Will try later. Any known bugs ?
I am on TWRP
@OP:
1. That is one big file...
2. We appreciate your effort, and it definitely does look like a great ROM to flash and try out, but next time, as tempting as it seems sometimes, please give us a ROM file to flash instead of uploading a nandroid backup and telling us to restore from recovery.
Ive been waiting for a rom like this, but im on twrp, i think if nandroid this cwm nandroid it would brick my phone right?

You cant use CWM backups on TWRP. They have different ways to backup and restore.
You can't download from the phone the slider on the download page won't move.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the late response. Busy at work. But yea. To be honest, I don't know how to make it into a zip to you all can install it from Recovery, rather than restoring the image itself.
If someone can guide me to the right path, maybe a webpage or how-to, I'd gladly do what I can to change up the method of installation. thanks again !

I haven't a clue, I don't use TW but read too much, and saw it and then saw this and linked what I found.

It's a nice find but definitely does break wifi calling. I usually don't run tw either so doesn't matter just thought I'd mention it for others.

Good idea to do so, maybe it can be worked on by the OP of both threads, if this is going to get maintained.
Thank you for your effort, will watch development with eagerness, nice start man.

Can you theme stock rom?

The reason I bought my Nexus 4 is to forget about flashing custom roms and stuff! I like to use stock and rooted, but I notice that all themes are only compatible with cm 10.1 or AOKP roms, so my question is if there is a way to theme the stock rom framework the way u can in cm10.1 or AOKP? Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yes, it's possible. You can pull the appropriate files and decompile, theme, recompile, sign, then push it back to the phone (that will require a lot of patience and technical ability). You can also try using ZipThemer, but I haven't found any compatible ZipThemer themes in the N4 forums -- in fact, I'm not even sure tgat ZipThemer is compatible.
But the easiest way would undoubtedly be to flash a ROM with Theme Chooser capabilities and pick from the almost-thousand themes available.
Btw, is it okay if I ask why you don't plan to customise the s**t out of your N4? Personally, the only reason I bought the Nexus is because of the immense dev support, and also to teach myself a bit of programming and modding along the way.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You could flash a deodexed stock ROM, then you'll have a very theme-able "stock framework".
Yeah but the thing is that when I start flashing roms then it's like an illness that I can't stop, I lost so much time on my galaxy s3 flashing roms tweaking and modding, man it just gets crazy! Also the update to 4.2.2 it's coming soon so I wanna stay on stock rom to get it as soon as it comes out!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I'm wanting to flash rasbeanjelly due to its amazing theme but I'm happy on stock so check that ROM out its pretty stock but the theme is really nice

Stock TW theming

Ever since I switched from my Nokia S60 phones to my Samsung Android phone I've been looking for ways to theme my UI. This got me into flashing. But with every ROM I try, I keep going back to stock since it's more stable and I like the stock Calendar, browser, etc.
I keep reading on this forum that it is possible to modify UI elements by editing the systemui.apk, so theoretically it seems like it should be possible to create a theming engine for the stock ROM. Is it possible?

XTheme engine!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240180
Enables theming on practically all ROMs
You probably have to search for some themes though
