[Theme] MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.8-DS (Black Bar) [6-19-2010]

Thanks for all the hard work Cyanogen and Team. You Rock!
This is a simple theme for CM's Live Stable Eclair 5.0.7-DS. MrInc_Theme_CM-5.0.7-DS It has a Black Bar. Some of it has been collected from other Themers. Some has been created by me. I start with CM's files and replace PNGs only. The 5 APKs I edit are Framework, Launcher, MMS, Email, and Settings. The wall paper I used is from Ubuntu a few versions back.
5/20/2010 - Test7 changed the ballgame on me. I thought I was having problems getting the clock color to change from black to white. Turns out, it is now a feature of Test7. After flashing my theme you will need to go into Spare Parts and change the color of the "Date" and the "Clock". The fun thing is now you are not limited to what I choose for you. You can choose from several colors. Kewl! I also discovered which .9.png to modify to get the search to have a black background. Enjoy!
5/27/2010 - Updated to include a couple of edits to ADW.Launcher.0.7rc3 Just to keep it inline with my taste. It is a full version with my theme edits applied. Awesome work AnderWeb! Donation coming your way. Link below.
06/05/2010 - Here we go again. I can't help myself I've started down the road on the new CM-5.0.8-DS test builds. My slightly themed ADW Launcher hasn't changed and it still works well with the new test1.
06/06/2010 - I changed some more icons. I didn't like what I had done to the bright popup PNGs. I changed that back to the white instead of the biegie-gold. I also cleaned up the CD image in Music so it doesn't have the black background. That is now transparent.
06/07/2010 - Updated for CM-5.0.8-DS-Test2. Fixed the USB Debugging notify icon. Somehow, I don't know how far back, the DPI for the icon was set slightly off. It was 71.986dpi instead of 72dpi. (go figure) I changed the USB Connected icon color from my previous yellow to more of a gold color. I changed the Bright popups to a more opaque white with a gold beveled edge. I like it better than the biegy-orange color I had before (Dirty Blueshirt liked) and I like it better than the transparent white. Not much else changed except CM has incorporated ADW's Launcher into the Test ROM (three cheers for CM!) So you don't need to flash the ADW.Launcher after my theme.
06/10/2010 - I had some problems with Test3 and Test4. I ended up having to wipe and reflash. I don't think it was anything to do with the Theme. I was having some lag issues when trying to make or answer phone calls. All is well now. Since 3 and 4 happened so quickly I ended up skipping 3. I had to make some adjustments with my files and locations to match the new Settings layout including SpareParts and ADWLauncher. I really like having that all together now.
06/19/2010 - Nothing much changed in my stuff. I just updated it to work with CM-5.0.8-DS
It's old school... I haven't got into the metamorph yet.
Copy to SD
Nandroid backup (always)
Flash the zip
Enjoy!

Widget
pretty awesome looking theme can someone tell me where to find that 1X4 widget with the weather and time? I've been looking all over for it ... thanks in adv

mine is actually weather widgets 1x2 and digital clock 1x2 the one in the market with the clouds on the icon. The one you are looking for is actually Beautiful Widgets. I was looking for it too.
I was using the Weather Widgets flip clock but it constantly stopped keeping time. They have a weather service to help stop that but it was killing my battery. I'm having other problem with weather widget now so I may just drop that completely and use the Beautiful Widgets clock.

}
Information:
This is a HomeScreen Theme, it doesn't have any other apps customized. I will in the future make fully skinned themes with custom frameworks. This is just my first try, better ones to come.
Performance:
It uses many 3rd Party Addon Apps and Widgets. Some people pay argue it may eat up the system memory but I have been using this setup since a week and its suitable for daily use. There are occasional lags if the Media Scan is going on. And it takes another minute after boot for the apps to start up. Then you may have to use Advanced Task Killer (ATK) to kill some apps on startup. That is all thats need to smooth the tab out after boot. Takes a few minutes. I have TweetDeck, Kik, Facebook, eBuddy, Dolphin Browser and MusicPlayer Pro open at all times and I dont see any lag. So you guys should be fine
What you need:
Archos 101
Launcher Pro Plus*
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper (in Market)
Cowon D3 Clock (in Market)
Minimalistic Text (in Market)
Pure Messenger (in Market)
Extended Controls (in Market)
Music PlayerPro (in Market)
Simi Folders (in Market)
Desktop Visualizer (in Market)
*About the launcher: You need LP+ as it allows you to overlap and resize widgets... ADW EX allows this but doesn't play well with MultiPicture Live Wallpaper.
Pre Preparation:
Make sure you have all the apps listed above and download the zip file with the files in it and put it in the internal root directory.
App Settings:
Below are the fundamental settings I have set in all the Apps, please have the things listed below as they are set.
LauncherPro Plus-
General Settings>Hidden Apps>Hide all the stuff later on.
General Settings>Enable Scrollable Widgets> Tick
HomeScreen Settings>Number of Screens>5
HomeScreen Settings>Default Screen>3
HomeScreen Settings>Transition Effect> None
HomeScreen Settings>Number if Columns>10
HomeScreen Settings>Number of Rows>9
Dock Settings>Number of Docks>1
Enable Loop Scrolling> No
Behavior Settings>Enable Auto Rotation> No
Behavior Settings>Home Key Action>Show/Hide Status Bar
Behavior Settings>Home Key Default Screen> Yes
Appearance Settings>Dock background> None
Appearance Settings>Dock background> Show Screen indicator> No
Appearance Settings>Dock background> Hide Notification Bar > Yes
Appearance Settings>Dock background> Home Button App Drawer > No
Appearance Settings>Dock background>Hide Icon labels > No
Appearance Settings>Dock background> Disable Wallpaper Scrolling > No
Appearance Settings>Dock background> Highlight > Outline
Advanced Settings> Play around with it. Do NOT enable 3D as it doesnt support landscape. Be careful in here tho.
LP Widgets > None
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper-
Common Settings>Picture Source> No need to set this now.
Common Settings>Background Color> Black
Common Settings>Crop/Resize> Show Entire Picture
Common Settings>Decrease Saturation>100%
Common Settings>Decrease opacity> 100%
Drawing Settings> transition Type> NONE
Drawing Settings> No Reflection
Thats it for MultiPicture Live Wallpaper for now.
Minimalistic Text-
Just add a dummy widget anywhere for now and go to Global Settings. Set your settings there and set the fonts folder to /sdcard/fonts (or /fonts) depending where your internal root is. Press save and home. If you see the widget, remove it.
Basic HomeScreen Customization:
We will be doing everything in Landscape View
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First get rid of the Launcher Dock on the Right. Here's what to do:
Hold the top most icon and set Swipe Gesture action as Show/Hide Status Bar.
Then on the same icon long press and Change > Icon > Blank
Do the same with all the 4 icons below but on the third one, set it to Open Notifications as a Swipe Gesture. And on the 5th or the lower most icon, set the Gesture as Open App Drawer Now that we are done with that, you should have your Status Bar hidden and no dock icons. Just the screen and the soft buttons.
Now set the open up the MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and add screens to it.
Please download the zipped folder in this thread and extract it in the internal root as it is. If you haven't done so yet.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should be pretty straight forward.
Screen 1 = System
Screen 2 = Social
Screen 3 = Home
Screen 4 = Games
Screen 5 = Media
Just choose Single Picture and use Root Explorer to navigate to the folder and use the wallpaper.
Code:
We are just getting started, we'll go one screen at a time now. We are 30% done as of now :)
Screen 1, System:
Start adding 9 Extended Controls Widgets. Make sure you set it to white icons and no labels or drop shadow. Now align them as in the DeviantArt ScreenShot.
After you do that, add 3x1 minimalistic Text Widgets, hide their backgrounds and select Custom Layout > Remove all the current blocks and add Static Text. Now click that and write out he label, set style as Accented, and override size to 18. Now go to Accented Text Style Settings and choose the Font to Telegrafico (it should appear if you've added the font folder properly.)
Keep doing so until you have it all layout. You may have to resize a few widgets, you do that but holding the widgets and leaving them. Launcher Pro will show a rectangle with an arrow on the lower right. Exit resize mode by press the back soft button.
Screen 2, Social:
This screen is pretty easy. Open up Pure Messenger from Widget Selection, select the 4x4 scrollable widget, setup your accounts> customize and use the White Transparent theme. Now play around with it and resize and fit it within the wallpaper.
Now select Desktop Visualizer 3x1 and select the icon from the folder and start setting them on the right. Pretty self explanatory.
Screen 3, Home:
This screen is hard. May take time to perfect as theres a lotta overlapping going on and setting up the widgets may take time...
First open the Cowon Clock from widgets and set the colors to green and white and move it to the top left as in the screen shot. You may have to resize to get to the exact position.
We are using Desktop Visualizer 3x1 for the browser and chat icon. I have included a calendar icon too if you wish to use it.
Now the minimalistic text is set as below:
Set the static text to Non Accented and and the Battery to Accented. Set the size of the font to 20. Then go to text styles and change the font family for both accented and non accented to Telegrafico. Go back to the Accented Settings and change the color to Hex>66cc00
Do the same for the other snippets down there. Once they are on the screen. Start by placing the "Hope you are having a Good Evening" thing to the bottom. Resize it to set it to a place. Then the weather above it and resize it so it overlaps the widget below but is near it. Do the same with the battery text.
I know this may be tricky but you should be able to nail it within 5 tries.
Screen 4, Games:
This screen is made up of 4 4x2 Desktop Visualizer Widgets Resized to look good.
Once you have the emulators loaded up with icons in the folder.
The Android Icon is a Simi Folder Widget/Icon.
Here are the settings for my Simi Folder on the Games Screen.
Go to the App Drawer>Simi Folder
Add Folder
FolderName> Games
Widget Settings>Icon> Select the Android Icon
Widget layout> the 4th Icon in the left column.
Back
Launcher Settings> Hide everything under it.
Icon Size to 50
Width to 50
Launcher Style to Custom
And then just press OK on the top.
Once youve done this go back to the Games HomeScreen and add a SimiFolder Widget and select the folder we just created. Again, resize so it fits in between the emulators.
Now we add Static Text via Minimalistic Text. As we did before, 3x1, Accented, Add the Fonts, and the Size for the text is 25.
Screen 5, Media:
This screen uses the MusicPlayer Pro Widget on the left and a Minimalistic text Widget. The Text widget is reszed to just touch the widget so it looks like in the screen shot.
Before we proceed we may have to go back to Simi Folder and Create the remaining Folders that we use here.
Follow the same steps as for making the Games folder. (Steps above.)
Now I have stretched the the listen down one row. Then just put the watch icon below it and the again stretched the photos down one row. If you keep doing so, you'll achieve it as in the screenshot. (btw the Simi Folder Widget size is 3x1)
Wrap Up:
As you see, it will take sometime setting the Minimalistic Text Widgets. You may wonder why not embed that text in the wallpaper too. But doing that would blur it out like the dock. I am working on the Wallpaper issue and will update if I get a solution.
Credits:
The Wallpapers were made by me except the HomeScreen.
The HomeScreen Wallpaper was used from SocWall.com, so I dont have the link to the Author.
The Media Icons are by [email protected], and I have just added the text next to them.
The font used is Telegrafico by [email protected]
If I missed any credis please let me know.
Thanks:
Thanks again for all your support guys I will be making more themes for this tab. If anyone wants to buy me coffee, you may do so here. If you have question, please ask em below. And if you have problems, dont worry, I'll be providing support here.

some advice
First of all thanks for your work!
I don.t know if you can do it, but i think it could be nice a theme that looks more like Android L: Basalt Grey #465062 for quick settings area; dialer, contact, volumes, brightness etc in light blue and the settings area is in Green. If you could look at pictures from Android L and extract the hex color codes would be nice.
I vote for balanced style unlock screen and Android L Style widgets.
either way i look forward for your Perfect L and I say to take your time,because for those of us who prefer stock android, i think android 4.4.2 + B512 might be the last software update.

Thank you for your suggestions I will add "Basalt Grey" , "Light Blue" and "Green"

I think this is the best theme available at the moment.
For the white P6 I prefer not to have black (eg software keys) anywhere, I'm sure it's opposite for black p6.
Excellent theme, can't wait to see where you go with it.
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using XDA Premium HD app

The icons looks really good i like them and thanks 4 sharing your time to creat Themes for our Ascend P6.

How about a theme compatible/tuned with Simplicity wallpapers.

A challenge (i.e. my wish)
Hi ikroll,
First of, thank you very much for investing your time to infuse new life to the P6. Let me add my two cents, with regards to what may help create the Absolutely Perfect L
In astrit1's thread on L theming ("Emotion UI 2.3 - Android L Style"), user 'taaaem' posted the following:
"When you need some inspiration for your theme, you could maybe get some from this awesome CM11 theme. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2800921"
It is of course a matter of taste, but wouldn't THAT be the Perfect L? Any chance of you (or even you and astrit1 !!) working on implementing that ??
Just my wishful thinking. At any rate, I am always humbled by people like you and astrit1 who spend their free time in being creative for the benefit of the rest of us.
Cheers mate.

About Theme
- There are 4 color in notification panel.
- Colors tested on White&Black P6 so i chose these colors
- Soft Pink , Soft Blue (Looks cool on White P6) , Blue Sky (Looks cool on Black P6) , Basalt Grey (From Orginal Android L).
Here colors:
- Also most icons will be same Original Android L in notification panel.

I changed something in thread.
- First beta have been released , if you found a bug , tell me please.
- Next update will be for other colors and more icons for popular games.

the good and bad
first what i like:
-the notification/switch is great
-wallpapers
-the transparent weather widget
-the settings area
now what i do not like:
-the icon pack; i am not a fan of the icon pack, it's a matter of taste but in the photo attached there are some apps like messenge, skype, viber(airdroid my tracks etc) that have a yellow , ugly background.
-the dialer needs some work- it is to transparent, i rather not see what is under the dialer than that messy look
-the close all apps button and the fact that the button for running apps changes
i see in customize theme that i can choose an icon style,but is nothing there, could you somehow put in there different icon packs like the original emui 2.3, the old icon pack from your theme etc? or could I do that? how?
found one more thing, maps and hangouts icons are just yellow squares - no icon there

only thing i discovered is (maybe its nothing) that sometimes the screen don't react immediatly..e.g. swipe to the right and nothing happens for seconds..
but in general it is a great theme..
i don't know if it is possible to change the icon size (i feel like an old person with this big icons )

[Theme][Google Play - Free][KK/L/MM/N/O]MonoChrome Theme

If you're interested to yet another grey/dark theme I made one with Sony Theme Creator. It's fully tested for Lollipop on my Xperia M2, but thanks to Sony Theme Creator it well supports KitKat, although some assets may differ. So please report any wrong in this thread.
Now certified by Sony! Check it in the Xperia Theme portal!
COMPATIBLE WITH MARSHMALLOW, NOUGAT AND OREO(*)
(*) Unfortunately Sony on Oreo drastically removed many customisations. The themes mostly change the Xperia Home, Lock Screen and Navigation bar.
MORE THAN 100,000 DOWNLOADS!!
Please do not forget to rate it 5 Stars in the store! At least for the effort.
Lockscreen analog clock is only available on Z2 series and above running at least Android 5.1
Icon Packs are available only on Android 6.0 and above​
Also, as for user request I made a version with full black Status, Navigation and Action bars (Light Action bar excluded otherwise the text would become unreadable. I can't find where its text color is defined). You can download it from the attachments. Take it as it is because unless of major bugs it won't be updated (sorry).
Please note that "MonoChrome" and the attached "MonoChrome Black" are two different themes. So you can install both, the first from the Play Store and the latter manually from here.
Here a couple of screenshots. There are more in the Google Play page:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

MY FREE XPERIA THEMES IN XDA
(click on image for the XDA thread)
​

this worked very well on my Z1c running the latest 5.1.1 LP build 368
in fact, it was one of the few themes (apart from the official Sony ones in the playstore) that worked. not sure why but the other themes on the playstore and xda didn't have any effect after selecting/activating them in the theme selector
a small request (if you have the time for it): could you make another version with the default nav bar, status bar, and action bar 100% black (i.e. FF000000)?

I think it's because they were made for KitKat. Most new assets don't apply on Lollipop. That's why I made my own theme using Sony Theme Creator, far too many were broken (one of mine as well, and to port it hasn't exactly been a walk. Still working on it).

Well, it could be done. But why? I think it's dark enough, it's Grey 900. Honestly I don't feel like making a separate version for it, dealing with only grays is a total pain. Make a small change and something, somewhere gets unreadable.. I was thinking more about keeping it as a base and make other themes using the accent colors (which makes life easier).

i tried a lot of the new ones too, that were LP-specific (like the ones below). they weren't just broken, applying them simply reverted my theme back to stock. so very happy to have found yours!

sure, I understand. no compulsion at all. I just wanted a 100% black one because I have a lot of Tasker scenes that are full screen and having a black nav bar would help them blend in. My Z1c's bezel is also black, so by changing the nav key colors to black (using an intent to GravityBox) on a black nav bar background would give the appearance of immersive mode without the drawbacks of immersive mode

Well, the first theme on the link I think requires root. It changes the framework-res and some apps. I stay far away from rooted themes, the stock theming on Xperia is good enough. The second I'm surprised that doesn't work. I've seen that dev in Google Play and his themes have quite good reviews. Oh well, it's a plus for my theme, then!
Regarding the all black bars I'll think about it. During development I was afraid they were already too dark! Maybe I'll make a second one and call it "MonoChrome Black". Writing in the description "as from users request". I need a second free theme anyway. I'll see, but I don't promise anything. If it breaks the readability again I'll throw it away.

thanks for considering it! I have root and SU mode but the first linked theme still didn't work for me. the only two authors that worked are Sony (official) and The Green (quite a few themes and some paid ones too but unfortunately nothing minimal). i use my phone a lot in the dark so nothing is too black for me! =)

Well, thanks. But that implies modifying the system apks, which requires root and may not work on different devices. As I wrote above i stay away from it. It just means looking for trouble. the beauty of Sony Theme Creator is that you develop for one device and then it is compatible for all, as long as they are 4.4.4 or above.

If it needs root you also need to replace the apks in /system, I think. Then as I wrote above it may work in one phone but not in another.
About the full black I was thinking about making one and add in only in here. That shouldn't take long. But if you have suggestions to make it different enough to be distinguished from MonoChrome, so much that I can publish it in Google Play, they are welcome. i mean, once I start something I can as well finish it.

I notice that you embedded a patterned background in the Settings App ... how about putting in a darker gray background, so that you can still view black text, but it won't be as jarring as FFFFFF white against the 000000 black? this would fit into the overall theme of "full black" (but without having to change text to white/light colors). i'm not sure if the same background change could be effected for the other system apps like clock, conversations, calendar ... since i don't use them, but that could be a start

I decided to take the unpublished route. And yeah, I had in mind to lower the brightness of the Dark Mode background indeed. Although it seems to dark to me, but I have low brightness on my phone. Also the dialogs are full black. It's light grey on black, it won't hurt the eyes. So I updated the main post also adding the new MonoChromeBlack.apk. I hope you'll enjoy it. As i wrote in the main post it won't be maintained, though. So if you have any complaint to make do it fast.

that was fast, thank you! unfortunately i wasn't able to install the linked apk (above). it gave me an error message of "app not installed". could this be due to a signing error? i uninstalled the play store apk just in case, rebooted, but still the full black apk didn't install

Android Oreo 8.0 - Icons background

If you upgraded to Android Oreo 8.0 I am sure you noticed the new icon shape and the annoying background.
I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off but I couldn't find it anywhere in the settings...
Anyone knows how to do it?

Also i look a way to turn to old icons

you can change icons in themes....its easy !! htc theme have more than many milion icons themes or background....

but not change all sistem icon...

The icons look decent to me ( facebook needs some work ), the Settings menu structure and visuals and the changes in the battery menu ( previously Power ) annoy me a little bit.

"I read that on other phones (Samsung and Pixel) there is an option to turn the background off" >>>>>>This is the adaptive icon feature of Android 8.0, not something "turn off the background" but each app must have all kinds of app icons (round, rounded square, square, etc.) in the APK, so that the launcher could pull the needed icon out and show. That's how adaptive icon feature works.
However, the case you described here, is just a set of icon pack made by HTC as default. What you need is just another set of icon pack which you can download for free in HTC Theme app.

HTC needs to stop making their home launcher so rigid. let us change things we would like to on a Nexus or Pixel

install lawnchair it has the option to choose whatever background it's free and it is the best launcher I used hands down
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.deletescape.lawnchair.plah

So, here's the solution: install the icon pack here released by HTC today: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...5d60d?by=09abf6dd-1d5a-4cc9-b11c-d474867eec70

@Alpert3 Thanks, that helped partially...
For some reason, only some of the Google icons are still with the round grey shadow.
For example: Drive, Chrome, Photos, Gmail, Calendar, Play Store, Fit...

Can you add a screenshot?
I assume it's the the default round icon of Google apps.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZIqXgAAzQlQFhtx42

Yep, confirmed, it's the adaptive icon from Google.

What link not showing up in XDA labs

@6th_Hokage ??

I made a customized theme, using all rounded icons, I tried to keep all icons as close to stock style as possible. You can download here: https://themes.htc.com/actions/them...a3?token=dbf74135-da27-4d8a-99d7-0e9b1a5eb425
For some reasons it was refused by HTC to publish, not sure why.
If you like my theme with all other stuffs, then keep it; if not, you can choose another theme you like then add choose the icons from my theme.

I can't download any theme from HTC Themes... it shows me an error after 5-10 min it said Impossible to download XX theme. I've cleared data of Sense, reinstall Personalize apk, i've also delete my HTC account sync and reenter my account... I don't know what do to... can someone help me??? Thx

Wrong topic...go post in general Q&A

Ok sorry
