I have AndroidNowHD 2.4 rom installed. Recently when i cleened rom from some apps via titanium backup i found 4 apps like SystemUI Theme Black (look at screenshot). Can someone explain me whats that (framework theme or, for example, navbar buttons theme or something else). And in case of framework theme how can i apply these themes for system ui?
Its for the Navigation buttons, you can tell cause it has "gradient" attached.

** Updated to v1.1 **
I've put together a basic Metamorph theme to add blue to the standard Android look. It should work with all current versions of CM5.0.7-DS as it does not touch critical framework files such as services.jar.
I have also themed the ADW.Launcher to match Cyano-Blue which can be downloaded and flashed through recovery.
Some changes:
- status bar
- status bar icons
- most original orange highlights changed to blue
- spinners
- battery monitor
- notification background
Cyano-Blue v1.1 for stock CM5-DS (install using Metamorph):
sd_Cyano-Blue-v1.1-CM5-DS_stock.zip
Cyano-Blue themed ADW.Launcher for CM5-DS (flash through recovery):
sd_Cyano-Blue_v1.1-ADW.L.0.7rc1.zip
Instructions:
1) Nandroid Backup
2) Install Metamorph theme file on stock CM5-DS
3) Flash themed ADW.Launcher through recovery *optional*
The first 3 screenshots show Cyano-Blue v1.1 on stock CM5-DS. The last 3 screenshots show CM5-DS running with themed ADW.Launcher
Thanks,
Wondering if this theme is generic and also working on the vanillaeclair ROM and ADW launcher?
Like your modifications.
I've built this around CM5-DS. I'm not sure if it'll work on vanillaeclair. It should if the framework for it and CM5-DS are the same. If the framework for vanillaeclair is similar to Donut ROMs then it won't work.
Is there any way you could remover the notification bar background? I love the rest of it but the background is a little too much=p
Or just tell me what files to change in the framework-res.apk...
In framework status_bar_header_background.9.png is for the background where the carrier is listed in notification area. status_bar_background.png is for the empy space in notification and statusbar_background.9.png is the top status bar.
its working finally
but i prefer stock notification bar... :>
nothing - please delete this post, i'm an Idiot
I should be releasing a v1.1 soon. Just waiting to see what @anderwebs is doing with his ADW.Launcher. I'm thinking of making a metamorph version for stock CM5-DS with a themed ADW.Launcher flashable through recovery rather than two different metamorphs.
Here's a few screen caps.
thats great idea!
im waiting
but could U make a version, with stock notification bar ? :>
Cyano-Blue now updated to v1.1.
Some people have requested the stock top status bar. Here is a metamorph file to restore only that after installing Cyano-Blue theme.
stock_CM5-DS_statusbar.zip
how apply this one ? via MM ?
cuz in recovery is verification failed... (no signature).
EDIT:
in MM app cant apply framework-res, which takes forever... -,-'
could U make this theme to apply via recovery, like last one ?
The theme file for the stock CM5-DS is a metamorph file and cannot be flashed through recovery. The reason I use metamorph is because it can be installed on any version of CM5-DS. If I build a recovery flashable version then I have to build one for each new version of CM5-DS and that's a lot of work since there has been a lot of test versions lately.
It can take a while to install framework-res through metamorph as it's replacing almost 400 files. I have done a lot of testing with metamorph and CM5-DS-test7 on my Dream without problems.
If others have problems installing the theme I might make a recovery flashable version once CM5-DS goes stable.
so today just came out the stable version of CM5.0.7 -> http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index....magic-mean-lean-pastry-machine-v507-05252010/
could u make now this theme for recovery (and stock status bar :>)
tnx lov u
I'll see what I can do. It might not be until sometime over the weekend as I'm short on time this week.
that's fine
i'm just happy U'll do it
hey how's Ur work for this recovery flashable theme ? :>
hey dm-digital, what weather widget are you using on those screenshots? can you give a link to the apk?
Can this be used for cyanogen 5.0.8?
Hi I'm on a 2.1 Sense rom and I was just wondering how do I change the notif bar's battery and background?
I tried just changing the icons in the framework-res apk in the drawable-mdpi folder
then I just saved it and pushed it and replaced the original framework but that just put me on an endless repeat of booting so I came back to 2.1 sense so .. How do I change it ?
I'm trying to change it like A motoblur theme
If I can't do it no Sense UI please tell me how to get it working on either GB or froyo?
I'm on the new radio btw
cm6.1 well you can go into cyanogen setting under ui than extras there is some different ones to pick you can use a theme you can flash a custom one its all on you or your rom
i suggest a theme poke around the forums for one
you can find a metamorph theme for your phone. and you just apply the notification bar with metamorph app
Hi guys , till date I have only used theme chooser themes from which switching to other themes is easy , but Is it the same case for cwm flashable themes also ?
Will I be able to switch to other Cm9/aokp themes from Theme chooser ?
Flashable themes that are still around and being updated...theme the portions that are impossible to theme with the theme chooser.
To get back to your stock rom theme...
You must simply flash the rom again without wiping anything.
Keep in mind:
This will also remove:
A ) System apps that you've installed manually (like myself, I install Cerberus as a system app).
B ) Custom Boot audio.
C ) Your custom Kernel if you've installed one.
Anything in the /system/ directory that you changed.
This will NOT change your settings...apps (except system apps, as mentioned) or anything like that.
Themes from theme changer will still work after...
But the missing parts that theme changer themes (or the parts the theme developer left out) will still remain as the theme you flashed.
Thanx . That means if I flash a theme and I can switch to cm9 themes from theme chooser though some parts will be remain themed as it would become the default system theme ?
Yep.
At least if the flashable theme changed anything that the theme chooser cannot change.
Best method (always) is to select the system theme...and then the new theme.
This will clear out anything that theme chooser can theme.
BUT...to completely clear any them that was flashed, flash the rom.zip again.
MIUI v5 inspired Dark Custom theme

- Dark UI for messaging
- Slightly Dark UI for contacts
- Some framework/icon changes
- Music Player lockscreen controls themed
- Changes to default EMUI widgets (90% transparency as default) - the widgets no longer mirror MIUI widgets
- Total of 2932 MIUI icons
Credits for assets being used:
- EMIUI by maximax2795 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/themes-apps/theme-emui-3-1-emiui-beta-t3233164 )
- ForR by For Team
- MIUIv5 by Alexander Moiseenko
- Miui V5 Darkness by Jasonevil (CM10.1 theme)
- New default wallpaper found by Vsx06 ( old/default MIUIv5 wallpaper can be downloaded from here : http://miuiandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/wallpaper_006.jpg )
- Default Font (Thanks to Benj Esguerra) ( https://plus.google.com/112627753943691303063/posts/LJ2mong7MuX )
WARNING! Please read the below HOW-TO before applying!
Due to the size of the MIUI v5 dark custom theme (and limit on XDA for attachements) you need to download two ZIP files - extract them BOTH into the same directory (you will end up with two new files with extensions 001 and 002). Use 7-zip packer ( www.7-zip.org ) to extract the archive starting with 001. Finally you will get directory with HWT file.
If you want to have the new theme without the new font (or to keep the font you have set so far):
1. Download theme.
2. Extract theme (hint above).
3. Copy to the HWThemes folder on your mobile.
4. Apply theme.
If you want to have the theme with the new font (new font is the one you can see on the screenshots) please do the following: (WARNING! THIS WILL OVERWRITE THE SYSTEM FONT IN EMUI4.0!):
1. Download MIUIDark_CUSTOM_FONT.zip
2. Extract zip file.
3. Copy extracted theme file into HWThemes folder on your mobile.
4. Apply MIUIDark Custom FONT theme.
5. Do the same steps as above for the theme and apply the theme.
If you want to restore the default EMUI 4.0:
1. Download RestoreDEFAULT_Emui40FONT.zip
2. Extract zip file.
3. Copy extracted theme file into HWThemes folder on your mobile.
4. Apply RestoreDEFAULT Emui40FONT theme.
(you may need to reapply my theme if you want to have it again)
Download links for the theme:
See attachments section of this thread.
Download link for the new font - MIUIDark CUSTOM FONT (Droid Sans):
MIUIDark_CUSTOM_FONT.zip (6.10 MB) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3807078&stc=1&d=1467994251

P.S. If you like this theme - rate the thread with 5 stars
P.S.2. I have sold my P8 Lite. Project is now abandoned and no future updates should be expected.
dude, I like the dark theme... but can I make a request?
can you re-make the theme, so it would also change the system settings background?
plain white with black text just isn't my thing...
I know that some themes can change that (full UI theming), I had a theme like that some time ago, but I can't find it anymore...
so that's why I'm asking you
thanks in advance

I also would like to change the settings part at some point, so the update is possible.
Since there is no reasonable documentation available on the Huawei themes and the xml files are partialy in Chinesse (which I totally don't understand) it however may take a while. Unless I find any other theme with fully themed settings so I can review the XML file and assets used just to update the assets and XML files with the dark MIUI theme. In other words - depending on my free time I'll try to update it, however having ANY theme (compatible with EMUI 4.0) with that part themed would make this way quicker

maybe I can find a full theme for you to re-make, so you'd only have to do a copy - paste?

It's not as easy as to just "copy/paste" stuff Assets need to be properly scaled, therefore in some cases the 9patch needs to be applied - and since I do not have any HWT previewer on PC I need to compile the HWT file - send it to mobile, apply theme, check how does it look like, get back to PC... etc... the same with updating XML file - since the naming used by Huawei is somewhat weird I keep updating one parameter at a time and check the results.
Anyway - having something built anyhow would help a lot as the amount of "change-compile_package-apply_on_phone" would be minimised
Example 1 (bit of XML config for Contacts):
<!-- 新建联系人actionbar标题字体颜色-->
<color name="contact_eidtor_title_color">#ffffffff</color>
<!-- section title 字体颜色 -->
-- Yes, the parameter name is "eidtor" not "editor"
Example 2 (asset image files):
Asset file name: res\drawable-xxhdpi\daier_call_btn_normal.9.png
-- Yes... the filename says "daier" not "dialer"
Anyway... guessing the correct file naming or parameter naming especialy for something missing in the configuration XML or in the asset image directories is sometimes tricky as you can see and may be a bit of challenge (that is why having a sample is a good help - because I can then copy and paste and know that the parameter name is "contact_eidtor_title_color" and not to experiment and wonder why the "editor" does not work
New update.
Hi! I really like your dark theme and i got a little request: can you please make a dark text when typing a SMS? Right now it's a light-gray color on white background and as result it's really hard to see something. Thanks!

I've changed the compose box to dark. First I've tried to change the color text but the color tag seems to be shared with another part of the UI...
No wonder there are lots of weird themes in the net... the Huawei tags do not make any sense...
Updated version 11 attached.

Attached you'll find two screenshot explaining why it ain't as easy to create a Huawei theme... and to be more precise - the dark theme with white text.
Yes... I have changed everywhere text color to white ( FFFFFF ) and here is the result...
Sometimes there is just missing tag in XML - once I add it (I need to guess the name) and set it to FFFFFF it MAY change the color to white as well. Unfortunately 1) It may also change some other UI element 2) The tag may have "by design" mispelled name like "eidtor" instead of "editor" or "daier" instead of "dialer" ... this is also something I need to either guess or get from another theme by analysing its XML files...
So... if anyone of you guys - have the documentation made by Huawei (or anybody else) about theming EMUI 4.0 - please let me know Trying to guess everything is time consuming and sometimes also impossible (I cannot guess what type of mistake they did in the tag name or asset file name
Anyway - enjoy the themes if you like them
New version of MIUI v5 dark custom theme: rev. 21
Changes:
1. Updated GPS icon (now matches the rest)
2. Updated graphic assets for messaging (previously white on white while searching for contacts)
Older versions of MIUI based themes were removed.
Update 22: Added lockscreen music controls theme.
No such theme engine...
Anyone make that theme engine works properly on op3
for OxygenOS no but CM13 u can
Oxygen OS has layers theme support. Just keep in mind it has an issue with the Framework being themed where if you get the power menu popup or similar style popups the device will reboot.
Side note: This requires rooting.
