Wallpapers have been around forever, in smartphone terms. There are two tribes to the species: Static and Live wallpapers. The static ones don't do much besides simply being aesthetically pleasing. Live Wallpapers on the other hand tend to be busy continuously running animation loop to entertain–or perhaps distract–the phone owner.
I felt that something was missing here with choices available, hence Why I developed this concept of a Wake-Animation wallpaper.
The idea in a nutshell is to have something greeting you everytime you unlock your phone–think of a dog eager to show 'I am your friend, here at your service! –yet won't distract with continuous animation loop.
To built my first WAW I used original art by Stephen Najarian, a talented illustrator working in the Fantasy genre.
The way the app works is: you would set it to both Lockscreen and Homescreen in Settings->Live Wallpapers. When the phone is Locked, you will see lockscreen image that may appear like a puzzle with some ambiguity to interpretation. Once the phone gets unlocked though, the wake animation starts playing, and the pieces to the puzzle fall in place, finally revealing an image from Najarian's series. This short story visually unfolds in under a second, while your Launcher dishes out the icons.
For illustration, here the Locksceen on the left shows fragment of a beast up-close, which may not be that obvious at a first glance.
As you unlock the phone and beast comes to life shooting lightnings all over, it becomes clear this is another one of Najarian dragons awakening.
How well it works in practice? I share a few screen-action videos I took with app prototype at wakeanimation.org, take a look at it.
Beta APK available now: GooglePlay Beta download link
Please share feedback/your experience.
Thanks!
I like it. How would it be implemented, though?

Very much like a regular Live Wallpaper; after installing the APK you go to Settings->Live Wallpapers and check both the Homescreen and Lockscreen options for it to work properly/
I guess I would have to release an alpha to address these questions, will have to clean up my code and setup something, hopefully in couple weeks.

Sorry folks I don't have an app ready to offer for testing yet, but rather hope to hear if people find the concept worthy to keep pushing forward.

You know oneplus's love wallpapers have been like this for a year and a half now. This is really not a new concept, but hasn't been out on a mass scale
My understanding is, what they have is: on Lockscreen they show some movement, then once unlocked the movement slows for the next 4-5 sec then stops. So the experience is a bit different, user experience.
Have you watched my video clips? really short ones, Do they help explain?

Yes, they are about the same. When you unlock the phone it plays the animation for 3 seconds then stops. Yours is more customizable though

A major thing driving this for me was the Art itself, the art of Stephen Najarian.
The way I see it, the app would have a rotation of several animations, all based on different pieces of the artist.
Would you say Najarian's art is a good material to pick for a project like this, or it's just me/my taste?
BTW on 3 sec animation length: if you got enough icons on your desktop, I'd say 60% of the grid and up, I found then it degrades the "Visual candy" effect significantly.So in my view, transitional animations need to be shorter for the art to shine.
One idea could be though, for Launcher devs to add an optional Delay parameter to their app Settings, so as to push the Icon painting down may be 300 msec or whatever folks might like. I tried reaching out to several popular Open Source Launcher devs about the idea, noone really replied.

Actually for me I prefer many icons on my desktop. A dark bg. And not live wallpapers or opening animations bc I'm a power user and really enjoy my battery life. But art is good and fun love it. But I just wanted to show you this is not a new concept. Props on expanding it for customization

Yeah I was showing the dev. Deleted vid takes up alot of space on my already full cloud storage
down-sample perhaps?
Apology for request: Would it be possible to temporarily "resurrect" it for a day or so? perhaps you can use another hoster, like G-Drive, Box, Imgur etc. Another thing is to down sample video first into much smaller file size. You can do that online, just Google "downsample video online" and get a few choices. Thx!

I don't need to millions of vid in YouTube
They call it dynamic wallpaper
Thanks man!
I had to play that couple times to figure what's going on here, but in a word what's missing there (compared to my approach) is Drama!
What I mean is, I am trying to show a little story (under a sec long) triggered at Unlock, while theirs is a very much ambient kind of visuals, which gracefully grinds down to a Static wallpaper. Just a different approach IMHO

APK available
News update: beta APK available on GooglePlay
Install is pretty straightforward; after completing, navigate to Settings->Live Wallpaper, it should show there as Najarian's Myth with an icon.
Choose it, and make sure to set it both to your Lock- and Home- screens. Then enjoy!
Please share feedback/experience.

OnePlus bugs with media playback
Folks I appreciate everybody who tried and sent Google crash report, which shows where the problem occurs.
Unfortunately, after doing some research into it, it appears OnePlus uses heavily customized ROMs which got some bus. There are number of developer reports out there about apps breaking on OnePlus and Xiaomi's (another heavily customized ROM phone make) involving media applications.
One workaround I saw on SoF is to to disable NuPlayer in the phone's Developer Options–so that a ,more stable AwesomePlayer is used instead as a fallback:

[THEME-Apr24] ⋮░⋮ PCB Blue v1.8.2 ⋮░⋮ Circuit Boards! - for AOKP b34/M4 (GSM + LTE)
⋮░⋮ PCB Blue v1.8.2 ⋮░⋮
Updated on 04-24-2012 (mm/dd/yyyy)
for AOKP_b34/m4
Hi all! I have been a proud owner (and still am actually) of an HTC Desire, ASUS Transformer TF101, and now the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM). On each of these devices, I've created a properly-built theme based on my PCB image.
This theme for the GNex is my newest, and based/influenced by my original PCB Sense (v2.x) Theme and PCB Blue for Prime! on the TF101. I'm happy with how it turned out, so I wanted to offer it up to all the fellow XDA users!
Supported Devices:
Galaxy Nexus GSM (maguro)
Galaxy Nexus CDMA (toro)
ASUS Transformer (tf101) (coming soon)
Couple of things to note:
ONLY for AOKP_b34/m4! (older versions are archived). You can try it on other ROMs, but this theme was built from AOKP sources.
*NOTE* - You must choose "CircleMOD" in Settings --> ROM Control --> Battery --> Battery Icon Style to see custom icons, otherwise stock is used
This design was meant to be quite close to stock for those who dig the ICS UI, but want something a bit unique
It is currently a work-in-progress, and will evolve over time. I hope to keep adding more and more...
Please do not ask for too many new feature requests. I am quite a busy dood, and this is still the early days of ICS. I will definitely update it when I can, but I have been making Android themes for a while, and it becomes quite tedious and time consuming to create new .zips/.apks for each and every ROM release. I will certainly do my best though!
I have edited a lot of images with utmost care and attention to detail including those precious draw9patch ones
CHANGE LOG is below
Screenshots:
These are some of the graphic components I built and used in this theme (more actual screenies coming soon):

Downloads + Change Log + MD5 Checksums :
* IMPORTANT * - Do NOT flash this theme immediately after flashing a ROM/gapps/kernel etc., as it will cause issues. If you flash a fresh ROM, boot into it fully, then reboot to Recovery, wipe Dalvik-Cache, then install my theme by itself. Reboot one final time and you should be good to go!
Everything is now at the PCB Theme mini-site
Don't forget that you can use the included PCB Theme Companion App to check for new versions easily on your phone (just click "Website")
Simply scan the QR code below with your phone for the fastest way to download (just don't forget to remember it's location when flashing! It's usually /sdcard/Download):
(*NOTE* - if you DL on your GNex and end up with a '.bin' extension, just rename it to '.zip', check MD5, and flash in CWM)
» PCB Theme Mini-Site »
[qrcode]"http://pcb.pla.bz/devices"[/qrcode]
Installation:
First off, ensure that you're running AOKP_b34/m4, then simply download the flashable .zip below, save it to your /sdcard folder, enter ClockworkMod Recovery (hold Vol_Down + Vol_Up + Power on fresh bootup, then press Up a few times to highlight "Recovery", then press Power) and choose "Install .zip from sdcard", then browse to where you saved the file. I'd also recommend doing a wipe of the Dalvik-Cache. That's it!
Uninstall/Removal:
It would be double the work for me to provide another .zip to revert files, so what I would recommend is that you just extract your original /system/app/SystemUI.apk and /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your original ROM .zip and drop them in a copy of my theme .zip, overwriting them. Simply enter Recovery and flash that .zip which should revert ONLY those 2 files. I'd also recommend doing a wipe of the Dalvik-Cache.

Disclaimer:
Flash this at your own risk! I am NOT responsible for any damage, however I do use it myself and always perform a NANDROID backup + Dalvik wipe before installing. Also, PM me before you rip out any of my resources if you wanted to use them in your own theme/project. I can be accommodating so long as you get in touch first!
Credits and thanks to some of the resources used go out to:
hostedWithGeeks for the excellent hosting experience/service
Team KANG for making a great ROM for the Galaxy Nexus
UOT Kitchen for their circle battery icons
Some other icons were obtained at IconFinder
nice theme will try out.
Gonna try this too. Thanks.

Just installed a little while ago. Quite like it so far, nice subtle theme, but that's a good thing for me since I like the ICS style. Thanks for this.
Thanks to all of you guys for giving it a shot I am still planning on making improvements as time goes on, but I'd love to hear any feedback, either good, bad, or suggestions for the future.
Again, hope you enjoy the work I put in to this!
any plans to make it compatible with m3??

Hey Collin, I probably could, however as I just got my Nexus and am using b26, I just released this version initially. I am not sure what the roadmap for the AOKP ROMs are (i.e. when the next Milestone will be coming), so I may just wait for M4.
Otherwise, I have been using b23/25/26 for about 1.5 weeks and haven't had any issues, so I might recommend you upgrade to b26 (it even has some great new features over M3). Of course, if you do a Nandroid and then try it out, you'll have nothing to lose!
As this is the first release, more will come, and I will do my best to support as many ROM versions as I can (which can be a handful for someone like me with little time...trying to run my own business and it takes a LOT out of me!).
Cheers!
Awesome Looking theme, What r the chances of seeing it in Red?

Possibly in due time, but I actually first need to get it to a state where all of the resources that I wanted to edit are in fact 'final'. At that point I would then take the collection and apply different colour schemes. I did it for my PCB Sense version, however it was one of the last steps after I had created everything in green. Sooo, not ruling it out, but most likely not any time soon.

Kick ass KD! I was hoping to hear/see some of the TF101 crew who also snagged the GNex. Thanks for giving good use to my themes, and also for the feedback. You're right, I did ask for +/-, and I actually do agree with you on the status bar icons. I know they don't really fit into the super clean modern look of ICS, but my geek nostalgia forced me to use them, as I have been doing so since my Desire days. That, and the fact that I wasn't feeling very creative to think hard about it I'll be honest I did design the Wifi icons from scratch though (notice how you didn't specifically mention those?), so I'll try to do the same thing again for the battery/BT/cell ones after getting my creative smok, err, juices flowing again I've got some ideas...
Thanks again fellas, already 236 downloads in less than a day! \o/ (is that good or bad? I dunno, still cool tho!)
awesome looking theme
love the subtle pcb design. Maybe u could change the softkeys up a little.
Would there be any issues if i flash other softkeys over it? will the animation be overwritten?

Thanks klyzon! Really glad you are liking the theme.
In terms of the softkeys, if the package that installs them replaces SystemUI.apk (just have a look in the .zip), then you will most likely lose many parts of my theme (I have modded both SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk). I will consider building different collections of .apks with different softkeys, but again, this is just the first release of my theme, so that may happen in the future.
Otherwise, if you (or anyone else) do see different softkeys that you want to use, post a link in this thread and I'll ask the dev/themer of those images if I would be allowed to use them in a version of my theme.
** EDIT ** - I just checked one of packages from this thread --> [SOFTKEYS] Softkey Collection 2.0 [GSM/CDMA] [Update 08-02] by atticus182 and he actually provides a .zip with PNG images! This is great because it will allow you to take my SystemUI.apk and merge in those PNGs so you can ONLY replace the softkeys. You'll just need to extract my SystemUI.apk somewhere temporary, pop in the PNGs to the correct place (/res/drawable-xhdpi) and then drag that modified SystemUI.apk back into my .zip flash package. Also, the PCB pattern behind the softkeys is kept in 2 PNGs from my SystemUI.apk, namely "ic_sysbar_highlight.png" and "ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png", so just don't overwrite those and you'll be good to go!
Please do let me know if you've tried that, and how it works out for you. It would be great to have a UOT Kitchen type of webapp to build custom themes, but I don't have the know-how to build this for PHP/.net/etc...Anyways, hope this helps in the meantime!
Hey all!
I've just updated the PCB theme to v1.1.0 which is based on AOKP b27. I am running it right now, and it's working (and looking! ) great!
I have also added a few more features/skinned elements, and I'll work on making up a couple of screenies right now.
Anyways, please test it out if you're on AOKP b27 (which is amazing btw), and let me know what you think. Cheers and thanks!
Installed and very nice.
2 requests / suggestions.
Not all of the loading animations are blue and make the lock screen lock icon blue.

actually, i kinda dislike the top bar being in pcb design, the old black bar suits it better, more subtle imho

Thanks for the feedback Sleeepy2, however it is very hard to cater to each individual need (as mentioned in the OP). I did not make ALL spinner animations blue because the Android system has 2 by default (black and white). I simply made the black ones blue, and left the white...well, white.
As for the lock screen lock icon, I will also leave that white, as it blends/fits in with the other lock screen elements. More importantly, white offers a better contrast, in case someone had a blue-ish wallpaper, in which case the lock would be hard to see.
I'm sorry if I am not being very helpful here, but it's actually quite easy for you to change the colours, spinners, etc. yourself if you'd really like to. Please just don't re-release a modded version of my theme if you do though. Modding my theme for your own usage would be absolutely fine though!

Hey klyzon, appreciate the feedback here, even though I actually do like the top status bar pattern. I definitely hear what you are saying though, as it doesn't make the theme very subtle any longer. Also, my lady gave me some grief for this too when I flashed it to her GNex
I am pondering whether or not to make 2 versions of the theme. One with basic, subtle PCB design mods, and one with everything styled to the tits Of course, that means double the work when it comes to updating (AOKP is on a roll!), so it will eat more of my already limited time
I just wish there was a better way to mod system resources without having to decompile/rebuild each .APK as they are updated...if anyone does know of such a method, PLEASE let me know! I looked into Ninja/Metamorph, but I don't think they offer much better methods. There was a thread about the VillainTheme system in the ASUS Transformer forums, but it never worked properly (wasn't actively worked on either).
Anyways, sit tight if you can for a few, and I'll try to work some more magic...
P.S. - I'd love to hear anyone else's thoughts on this. It would be great to get to a version that the majority approves of!
Hey, just installed and really like how subtle the effects are
I for one really like the PCBed(?) status bar!
2 things:
- The alarm icon gets kind of faded (it's never really "in your face" anyway)
- Could not get alternative softkeys to go with it.... Will have to learn to open those flashable zips and get the hands a little dirty
Thanks for the great job Not often that I actually install AND keep a theme
I really want this to work with my Razr on AOKP 27, but it never seems to work. Any idea how to get it working? I LOOOOVE this theme!
Edit: This is what my lwp looks like actually, so it would match!
As for the lock screen lock icon, I will also leave that white, as it blends/fits in with the other lock screen elements. More importantly, white offers a better contrast, in case someone had a blue-ish wallpaper, in which case the lock would be hard to see.

Hey there,
is the circuit board wallpaper available separately by any chance? Looks pretty neat.
Hi guys!
I searched the Galaxy Nexus section, but couldn't find something about it although I'm surely not the first to ask:
So, as thread title already says, would it be possible to use the semicircle that appears on swiping up for Google Now as a navbar replacement? I know there's LMT which does something like this, but last time I checked it did only allow swiping from the left and right side of the screen, not the bottom. Plus, a native integration or a mod would be cooler than a separate app
I saw a thread where the navbar was reduced to something like a 1px touch area for the Google Now swipe and LMT for navbar replacement. I think of something similar, only with functions like back/home/recents/menu integrated in the Google Now circle instead of using LMT.
Here's a pic I made with my uber skills to show you what I mean: (sorry, I'm at work and only have MS Paint and limited time )
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here Google Now could be launched by long-pressing home for example.
So, devs, what do you think? Possible or not? And is anyone but me interested in something like that?

i dont want to burst your bubble, but what would be the use of that ? Let's say that you would remove the navigation bar to use that. Impossible since it's in navigation bar. Hmm if you want to have access to these button, get your finger 20 mm lower.

Like I wrote in the first post, I wouldn't remove navbar completely, but you could reduce the width of it to 1 px since you'd just need it as a touch area for the swipe-up (you start the swipe offscreen and swipe over the 1 px navbar up to launch the circle.)
The use of that? More screen real estate, less burn-in than permanent navigation buttons, aesthetics. And it's system- wide available, just like the normal navbar (independent from launched apps etc.)
Just think of it as a deeper integrated alternative to the pie from LMT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150), if you know that app.
Hmm if you want to have access to these button, get your finger 20 mm lower.

forget that.
It could easily be done. Even LMT could be modified to work from the bottom. I wish it was open source.
This was the first thing I thought of when they released JB. I would love to see it happen so we wouldn't need 3rd party solutions like LMT.
I hope it's possible.

I thought the same when JB was released. So let's bump this thread until someone capable of coding recognises
I like the idea too, and I'd be willing to give it a shot if someone released it.
But it'd have to look aesthetically better than that screen shot above.
very good idea! i'd also like that

Lol, as I said, the above "design" was built at work with limited time and MS Paint, it's nothing like I imagine the solution I think of, it's just a proof of concept.
But I have no skills at coding or designing whatsoever, only an idea. So everything totally depends on someone who's more capable than me in both design an coding.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's interested in something like that though!
Yeah I figured as much it was just to illustrate the concept, no worries!

I wrote with Zaphod from Team KANG and he said they're gonna make the ring completely customizable, so you can set custom apps or navigation buttons or whatever you like (kinda what they did with the current navigation bar as well).
But I think these new features will only come after all AOPK features are merged into the JB builds.
Nice. I think I might switch to a rom just for this function. Right now I am on stock.
Hey XDA GNEX users!!
My name is MoOg, and I do music... I have been in music for over 25 years and I am thinking about making a project out of my works specificly for the Galaxy Nexus... I was thinking one day that it would be awesome to implement my works on either a boot image or possibly a ringtone project... I am only using this idea to start off with on the Galaxy Nexus, simply because it is the current phone that I am using... and the fact that I love the PURE Google experience with this phone... and I came up with this idea to make specific audio solely for this device... I have plenty of audio all over the web, and it would be a pleasure to seek out some fine developers to help out with this project... Let me know if you are interested... And to find all of my current works either check out my Soundcloud or Reverbnation... Just google "MoOg The Artist"
THANKS!!! :laugh:

Well idk... It just seems like some of these sounds on the phones are boring... The only sound I really liked so far was the HTC ringtone that had the guitar loop that kept on dropping pitch after each set of notes... I think that this could change the face of Android development with newer sounds handmade and more adapted to what the kids like... lol... Maybe you and I can work on something now as well if you want... I do all kinds of sound editing and what not... I have lots of software to boot... I really think that there could be something made of this... The difference between my music and everything that is out there... I do everything from scratch and send it to a waveform editor... I can actually read soundwaves... It sounds crazy... But it's been something that I have been into since the early 90's/ late 80's...
I have a $1500 Roland Fantom synth, hours and hours on end for sounds that were recorded... as well as 14 albums (publicly released... not counting the unreleased tracks that have yet to be polished up and fed out to the public) to date... I haven't done anything with them besides releasing them onto Soundcloud, Facebook, Reverbnation, etc.
Let's see what we can accomplish by making the GNEX sound like a phone that people can relate to... Not just by it's features... But the feeling you get when you turn the thing on and it's sound pulls you further into the experience of the ROM...
and BTW... Please log on Facebook and LIKE my music page??? That's if you find my works enjoyable...

The funny thing is, I didn't even know what a Moog was until I got into the electronic genre...
I've ironically had that name ever since I was a teenager...
I love this idea, and I like the samples you've created.
Here's some thoughts that quickly jump to mind..
Ringtones:
Well, those are easy, and your samples are a great start.
Custom notification sounds:
We need some good sounding, short (~2 seconds) sounds, melodies, snippets that we can use for texts, e-mails and such. Things I think would sound cool..8 bit sounds mixed with newer electronic sounds, bit trip series comes to mind (runner)..a quick piano line, possibly with something in the background to add depth..
System sounds:
There's not a lot I can think of for this one, other than don't go overboard, heheh. Too many sounds, especially louder more abrupt ones, would be annoying.
Will be working on this soon... gotta work tomorrow.. then off for 2 days...

+1 on this. On the subject of notifications, I currently use Kzurb sonar because the sound seems to cut through whatever ambient noise(car,practicing my bass etc) I'm around. Maybe not something just like that but something that can really pierce through.

There are some files already uploaded to the link described on the post that I had before this one... I made a notification sound that might be similar to what you were looking for... It's called "Ion Burn"...
Let me know if it's up to par... Thanks!
MoOg, besides making short ringtones, notification sounds, etc you might also want to look into writing background music for game developers or scores for videos. Also, the nice thing about music is that it isn't tied to a specific type of device. MP3 and midi files will play on a wide variety of hardware. Just my two cents.

+ for 8bit stuffies, i'm gonna check the ringtones later but i've always wondered, is it possible to change the sounds on the dialer number buttons? i kinda had a melody on my old LG secret and i liked that D:
Thanks for the effort! Downloaded all the sounds and currently testing them out.
Typed on my BAMF!
This thread was originally posted over on the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 forums (links in my sig), and after a good deal of success on both devices, I decided (with a lot of nudging lol) to post this here in the Nexus 7 forums too. I own a Nexus 7 with PA 3.0 installed, and so I can test everything and so far have had no issues. Also, because of the different screen size of the Nexus 7, I think the icons are a little small. Others who've tried these on their N7 don't seem to mind, so please let me know what you think. If they're too small for your liking, I'll work on making them bigger. I'm ""trying" to keep one APK for each theme to work across all devices.
Many of you are like me and have been looking for 1% battery increments on the amazing Paranoid Android ROM. The devs have been working so hard on making the rest of the ROM great for us that they just haven't had a chance to add battery %. So I've made several themes for just that purpose! I know you can install one of thousands of themes out there that add battery %, but I have always been partial to the stock look of ICS and JB, so my themes will only add battery percent icons, nothing more. They apply via the built-in theme manager, so no flashing required! Just download the theme(s) you want from the attachments below and install/apply like always. Also, please swing by this thread and hit the thanks button on the OP, ATTACK. It's his icon pack that has made most of these (maybe all) possible, given my rather limited photoshop skills. He OK'd the use of the icons, but I'd like to give him "something" back.
I've got 14 themes now.

2. Circle Battery. DOWNLOAD
3. Thin style with white percentages to the left. DOWNLOAD
4. Thin style with ICS blue percentages to the left. Called CM Thin. DOWNLOAD
5. Numbers only. DOWNLOAD
6. Segmented Circle. DOWNLOAD
7. Roboto font numbers only. No charging animation, just static green text while charging. DOWNLOAD
8. Off-Center. DOWNLOAD
9. ICS Circle battery. DOWNLOAD
10. Dotted circle. DOWNLOAD
11. Honeycomb style. DOWNLOAD
12. Digital theme DOWNLOAD
13. SGS 3 Style icons. DOWNLOAD
14. Percent Numbers, better than Roboto. DOWNLOAD
Each theme of icons can be installed side by side on the same device. This way, if you want to change between different icons, you have the ability to do just that, without uninstalling or reinstalling anything. Also, the battery icons in the screenshot are a little bigger than they are now. I had an issue where the icons were slightly larger than the surrounding icons, but that's fixed. I just need new screenshots..........
Disclaimers/Warnings:
*This is my first attempt at theming, but they have been running perfectly fine on myriad Paranoid Galaxy Nexus', Nexus 4's, and my own Nexus 7 (as well as some other N7's people have installed on) and I have had no actual problems in performance or function reported by anybody in either forum, besides the normal bumps in the road any mod/theme will encounter. However, if for some reason you run into problems (themes won't apply, tablet dies, ROM borked, dragons flying out of the charging port, etc... ), I am not responsible. I will help you however I can, though. I honestly can't think of anything this theme could do to your phone anyway, but you never know.
*MAKE A BACKUP! I know that sounds silly for a theme, but since this is my first try, I suggest you have a backup just in case. So far I've had a good bit of downloads and comments in the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 threads, and I think it's safe to say its stable. Still, make a backup just in case.
*The theme works in all standard UI modes, (phone, phablet, various tablet) but I can't test every configuration out there. If you have issues let me know and I'll see if I can fix it.
*You will most likely get the "This theme is missing assets for your screen size" message, but hit apply anyway. Almost every theme I've ever seen throws this message, but it doesn't affect anything in these themes.
*It should work on each version of PA that comes out, but there is a chance something will change to break it. I'm really not sure. I'll test when each version comes out, until there's no more demand for this theme.
*These are designed for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, and now Nexus 7, each running Paranoid Android 3.0. However, I've had several reports that they work on other devices and other ROMs, so you're welcome to try it. PA is the only ROM it is being tested on, however.
Thanks for looking, and if anybody has any issues or requests, feel free to let me know!! Any and all feedback is welcomed and encouraged! Enjoy!

ICS Circle looks really good. Thank you for this! :good:
I've changed the OP in each of my threads now, cleaning them up just a little, mostly the previews and uploads. My themes are no longer hosted on XDA, but instead are hosted on my Dropbox account. This way I don't have to upload them in 3 different threads everytime I have a new one or make a change. It's more of a copy-paste deal now. This has done better than I ever really anticipated, and so I never really thought I'd have as much on the OP's. I was actually running out of upload slots in the original thread lol. I read that the limit on Dropbox accounts is 20GB/day so I really don't think this will ever reach THAT level of popularity (I think I figured it would take something like 1816 downloads on each theme per day to reach that traffic) but if anybody has issues with downloads, I'll find someplace else to host the files. Worst case, I'll go back to putting them on XDA as attachments and maybe get a mod to add a post or two for me at the beginning of the thread, since I didn't have foresight enough to reserve them. (doh!)
Thank you all for the kind words, feedback, and even requests! This has been an awesome experience for me, and I am excited to keep working on it, even as simple as these are! Those of you who have made requests that I haven't fulfilled yet, I am working on it. Just a couple out there I think.... Those that I haven't been able to fulfill your requests, I apologize. I am really still a noob here, but it's a great learning experience!!!

Sorry I took so long to answer, I've been working long hours but that's done now so I can finally catch up. I don't have any guides, what I did was download a theme that has EVERYTHING themed, decompiled it, and just started looking through the files. That taught me enough to understand the basics of what was going on, then I started Googling for specific questions. When I hit an impasse, I went to this thread for some help. The guys there were extremely helpful. After they got me started, I still had some issues but Google got me through those as well. If you have any questions I'm happy to answer what I can, but if you rank noobness from 1-10, 10 being expert, I'm still like a 2.5..........lol
To learn the battery icons you can decompile one of my themes and look at how it works. That is probably easier than trying to figure it out from scratch or looking at a full theme like I did. The soft buttons "should" work relatively the same. Let me know if you need anything!

OK, your digital theme is up in the OP now. Let me know if that's what you want. Also, what do you think of the charging animation? After I compiled it I think it may be a little too fast when it hits 100, so let me know if you like it or want it a little slower.....
Sorry it took me so long, been busy with work.
Bigger font?
Thanks for the great work. Could you tell me how to enlarge the font? I'm using the roboto one. The clock font is way bigger, if I could make them about the same that would be awesome.

To make them bigger the right way I need to remake the icons. I have a lot of work I'm doing this weekend on new themes and stuff like that, but I'd like to try and make those icons bigger too. I was copying the style on another theme and the text icons in it were a smaller size vertically than the others I've got, but bigger horizontally. I didn't want to mess up the horizontal spacing so I left it the same. I attached an older version to this post, the icons on this theme show up a little bigger than the newer version on the phone, due to a change I made. The actual icons are the same size, it's just the phone resizes them differently. That might work for you until I get the icons remade. You'll have to uninstall the version you have, then install this version. I don't think it will install over the other since it's an older version. Let me know what you think, though I still want to remake the icons.......

I don't know, seems about the same size. But thanks for uploading, I'll keep an eye out for updates. *thumbs up*

Nice bro! I've been rocking your OG TWRP theme since flashing Black Eclipse, but I'm not really huge on red so this chrome look is more my style I did change to Red Eclipse Final, thinking I might want to mix in some of the B&W apks, but I actually like it; it's fairly subtle and looks cool in the settings menu etc. :good:
Hey I don't suppose you ever figured out what was causing the wallpaper or black screen to come up behind the volume panel with your themes? I tried a few minor things myself but nothing successful.
Thanks again for some more of your fine work buddy, I wish I didn't already make a fresh nandroid today (before flashing a couple of the TBO apps)! I want to boot into recovery to check out the theme, but really have no reason to atm :laugh:

I apreciate it brother... and about the volume screen thing yes I did actually find the problem... it's due to the transperancy framework bg I moded. I have to go back into framework and change one of the true to false when it asks to show wallpaper. I just haven't found the time to attempt to fix it yet. But I'll try and find some time tonight and take a look at it. But if you wanted to try this chrome TWRP theme out all you need to do it just go into the theme folder which is in your TWRP folder and rename the red theme to ui.zip_bak and then copy and paste the chrome theme in there and reboot. Then if you don't like it all you need to do it go back into the TWRP folder and theme folder and delete the chrome ui.zip theme and rename the ui.zip_bak to just ui.zip and it will be red again. But make sure and check back because I'm working on a couple more theme now that I will hopefully have done tonight.
New Toxic Green theme posted... gonna be posting a blue theme next. After that I will be taking requests

@SICKMADE - Oh I already did... I figured that the giving the ol' dalvik and cache couldn't hurt. Ok... I had already wiped it a few times making that nandroid and flashing some dope blacked out / cleard out stock apps. Alright, guess I'm busted I just wanted to check out the theme (which is awesome) and then become SICK MADE again, because I felt like it had worn off a bit from earlier :laugh:
That's awesome to hear that you found out what's up with the volume panel! I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know what you need to mod in framework. Sounds like the fix is fairly simple once you find what you need to mod. I'll take a look also... but if I come across something that looks like it might be it, I'd send you a PM before trying anything to see if I was on the right track...
It's kind of funny that you said that your next theme would be blue, as that was my first thought. Actually, I got a pretty distinct mental image so I'll describe it. Don't take this as a "request" necessarily, but just a color scheme that I think would look super dope, and knowing your taste somewhat
Ok, the background is dark grey... not solid, but sort of with a "woven" effect, sort of a denim fabric style. I'm also seeing just some light texture, with some sporadic shadows. As for the text / highlights, that Tiffany blue that you sometimes use would look incredible!
I'm quite content with the charcoal theme, so no need to "go out of your way" to make it, but if you think that would look as hot as I do... well whip that one up Great stuff as always my man!

I like the way your going with the new blue theme... if you find some time why don't you look for some cool pattern bgs and some gradients that you like. I was thinking the same thing tho for the framework bg I'm not gonna go just all back for the next theme... I'm gonna go like a darker grey. Also I was really wanting to go with that Tiffany blue so I'm glad you said that . Seems like a lot of people seemed to like it. It's better than that ICS Blue that you always see around. I'm so sick of seeing that! But if you find some time and don't mind helping me out that'd be awesome.
Decided I would release my personal TWRP theme that I use.... It came out so sick I was gonna just keep it to myself! Lol. I hope some people out there enjoy it!

I knew I'd have several in my Wallpapers folder... I was correct I usually have my images ordered descending from last time modified so the most recent are the latest official DynamicKat wallpapers, DLed from the Rom Mart app. There are 2 (out of 3 so far... about 150 total :laugh where I was like, "That one, perfect," HAHA! I'll try to narrow it down to top 5. What's your preference? Crop the grey and attach that? Attach the full images, scaled? Or send (email?) you the full res pics? Happy to help! :good:
Edit: I found a few more nice ones, but my overall favs are these couresy of DynamicKat. The grey textures aren't exactly what I pictured, but I can see it with any of them... I'll post more if I come across anything more like what I imagined. What do you think about the textures on these / have a preference?
Does this work on the galaxy s4 as well? Wasn't sure if since it's twrp if it's universal.
Anybody else having graphical issues with the confirm "sliding" bar on TWRP 2.8.6.0 when using one of these themes? It shows up super odd, and is thusly unusable. Flashing back to 2.8.5.0 works fine with all the themes. I can't take a screeny, hence it is in recovery mode, and unfortunately I do not have another camera to snap a photo with on me at the moment, either. I have the trltetmo. If anybody else would like to try this and see if/confirm they have the same issue (or not), that would be much appreciated. I would love to use SickMade's TWRP theme(s) on the newest version -- all of them are just ill! A heads up: if you try this and run into the same problem I have, the only way to get it back working again is to flash the TWRP 2.8.5.0 .img via Flashify or ODIN the .tar. Just a FYI. Thanks for any and all help, in advance!

I'm not one to *****, usually, but I just want everyone to know I appreciate the replies I've received regarding my issue, two posts above, over a WEEK AGO now. XDA is a place to learn, provide assistance, and receive assistance. The lack of even the slightest reply such as a meager "I'm not sure what to tell you..." simply is enough to speak volumes of how people just truly do not give a rats ass. I'm always one to assist. So it naturally ticks me off when a simple question goes completely ignored for over an entire week. That's all I've got. If anybody wants to "pick a bone" let's take it to PM. Because if anyone is that ignorant to somehow have any "bones to pick" based on my detailed and rightfully-placed agitation, then that would simply show more balls than brains. This is just gross negligence to give even a basic reply up to this point, I feel. That's all. :RantOver:

I apalogize if your post didn't get answered.... I've had some family problems as of late and haven't been able to maintain my threads as much as usual up to this point. But I hope that you worked your issue out and if you still have any questions please feel free to post and I will reply with some answers no problem.
Thank you, @SICKMADE. You are a class act here on XDA. Never was I distinctively pointing any finger at you, please understand. Also, I am sorry to hear about your family, and whatever is going on, I hope and pray heals itself sooner rather than later. Anyway, no, I still cannot get your themes to display correctly on TWRP 2.8.6.0. The sliding/confirm bar is off-center and unusable and a few, more minor graphical glitches I cannot recall at the moment. TWRP 2.8.5.0 shows everything properly and works flawlessly with your goods. I would screenshot it, but don't believe there is a way within recovery...? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks again!

I really appreciate the kind words.... people like you are the only reason that I take the time to share my work in the first place. As for the issue that your having with using my theme on 2.8.6.0 I have not updated to that yet and so don't know of that problem. To take a screenshot all you have to do is press volume down and power at the same time. I will def look into the issue with the new recovery and fix it no prob. I usually never update TWRP once I get on one that is stable without any bugs unless there is a major update that is. Is the latest TWRP running good without any bugs? If so I will update the themes to be compatible.
Thus far, I have noticed no bugs with that version, in and of itself. If anyone else has anything to add, please do chime in.
Dude you freaking rock bro salute.
I followed all the steps on your method and it doesn't change anything on my end.
Keep up the sickwork
