Hello guys,
Our xperia jb roms have white themed apps like Phonebook,conversations,calendar,SemcPhone. These cause irritation to your eyes when you use at night, So i changed these apps themes to dark and everything is working on P,U,Go,Sola stock JB roms.
Please some test it on Xperia J Jb rom and PM me, If it works on J i will publish it on Xperia J themes and apps forum....

Hi,
I just tested all of them by adding to modified/slimmed AVD Stock Rom v1.4 into zip it self just before flashing rom.
Besides flew graphics bugs all is rather ok. The bugs are:
Phonebook (dial pad tab) spaces between keys are transparent and you can see call log, but it working very well.
Can You change violet first avatar to blue or gray?
Messaging... when you open started messages from menu i still white. How to change red received conversation background to other ??
And obviously avatar... same. Can be other color?
Calendar is a little sad colored but still much better than original one. Only bug I found is that on month, week and day view event has white text on white background so is visible. Like on screenshots anyway.
Phone FCs at system start so no I can't test it.
Can you mod genuine phone.apk in that case?
Tested on Xperia J/ST26i/Jlo with FW 11.2.A.0.31/JB/AVD Stock Rom v1.4.
I'll test them on stock rom this night. Wait for update.
Edit 20.07.13: Phonebook icons not appears in system but not FC. Maybe it's case missing framework? Tested on stock JB 11.2.A.0.31 little bit slimmed (apps, media only).

Screenies?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
awesome love it, like i was saying in the other topic, if you could just get the icons moreup to date to the actual epic gtalk, market, maps etc.. i would love it so much more. im just reallly ocd on the look of my phone, and i just realllly do not like the current icons even for the cm6 theme, just something about them.
and I know sense is a mess compared to stock android, but what is the chance of getting things like the dialer?
and lastly ( i know lots of q. but I LOVE the epics look) any chance of getting some of the epics sounds, like when you click on something on the epic the clicking sound instead of the evos?
screen shots would be very helpful

if your downloading directly from the evo
4shared for some reason has a problem with the evo
now you can still download it
just change to mobile version and download (might be the other way around and have to be desktop version)
and with that last piece of help i must sleep it's 12:30 AM yawn
if only we could get the best part of the touchwiz interface, the notification panel. this looks pretty nice though, be great for a senseless rom.
Got some boot looping (sense version). I wiped before flashing too. I did download to my computer then I transfered to SD card. Maybe its just my phone....
Very nice work though! Thanks!!! Ill keep my eye on the thread.
When can we expect the cm6 version?

i am actually focusing on the sense version atm but download mrcharlesiv's from his post i am basing mine off of his with few changes
changes being a little further themed
_____________________________________________________________________________
EDIT:
also will have an update later today if not tomorrow with a few changed things
and added a themed dialer and contacts (keeps original dialer also)
added media folder so has ringtones and notifications from epic (optional)
and i'm gonna set it up to remove some apk's like htc music, htc clock, htc lockscreen and mail as they are just duplicates and not needed to have multiple of them
will keep htc gallery as it links with camera
Great work on the theme. I love this when I was on cm6 and missed it when I switched to Fresh. I have a couple of questions though. How would I make the notifications bar clear, when you pull it down? Is ther anyway to get the the battery with the number read out like the cm6 rom?
Is there a way to load this without all the AOSP apps?
yeah the galaxy s notification bar would be amazing, but seems hard, i just would prefer an updated icon pack.

well i did put out an update just now
the app icons are not really changed from what they were (as they are the same as epic with some from the galaxy) and the galaxy s notification bar with the shortcuts is beyond my knowledge so i didn't do that
things changed
removed htc lockscreen (now vanilla lock)
removed htc clock
removed htc deskclock
removed htc Music
removed Mail (still have Email though)
removed htc contacts (People)
kept Htc Gallery as it links to camera
added epic4g themed dialer/contacts
added media as requested (from epic 4g system dump)
changed a few icons but almost all are the same
and i think thats all hope i didn't leave anything out
EDIT: looking into putting the Stock Android Browser in it +themed (i Can NOT stand the sense browser) -ACCOMPLISHED
EDIT2: apperently i can only get the contacts and dialer to show up if i flash something else first then flash this over it so i'm kinda stumped so i'm trying to get that fixed up
I HATE ISSUES LIKE THIS!
they do work but have to be installed differantly (contacts and phone)
_________________________________________________
CM6 release is gonna push back a little as flashing it causes battery to display as just a question mark battery on nightly 9/7
i was wondering, say i apply the all theme and you have an update later, can i just flash the update over the current one? or will doing that mess it up?
also i tried flashing the theme over fresh's new 2.2 rom and no go. just keeps cycling at the fresh evo boot screen

alright i have at least the theme and media out now for OTA but flashing apps causes boot-loop
and i have been on cyanogenmod recently so i did not follow sense Roms and was unaware that an OTA was released
i have several problems in the theme that i have separate fixes for but i am hoping to get it incorporated into the actual theme later on
and now that there is an ota i will focus on that rather then the older one but will at least fix it when i have time
and with this update on progress i'm gonna take a break for a while
Looking really nice. I was wondering, is it possible to just pull the App drawer from the Epic4G/Galaxy S to replace the one in Sense? I like the horizontal scrolling for apps, but would like to stick to Sense for everything else. What do ya think?
Newbie here!
Just installed Uber Z RC3-1 and encountered no issues in the process. However, I've noticed the following issues and hoping someone can point me to a solve:
The PEOPLE app does a force close each time I try to open any contact
Apps installed after Uber Z (like Y Messenger and Key Ring) also do a force close upon opening
I'd appreciate any help with these issues. Aside from that, the ROM rocks and I'm very happy with it. Thanks.....
Have you tried updating to the RC3-2, or reading the devs change-log to see if it was addressed previously, and possibly corrected in the update?
thanks for the reply! I saw references for Uber Z RC3-2, but never found a link to it. Can you direct me? Thanks...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10960366&postcount=2159
found from the Dev's website
Thanks for the link! I'll try to flash that tonight.
I was a bit confused by the suggestions to 'grab a Battery icon, or a font mod'? Can you translate that for this newbie?? Sorry if I seem like a dolt!
Font mods change the font of text on the phone, and the battery icon mods change the look (mostly color) of the battery icon in the notification bar.
I believe for Uber Z stock color is grey, I normally install green, which is Sense' thing.
This im my first public ROM so please be helpful,I just started playing with android and I'm still learning. I missed times when Paradoxx was releasing his Hydrogen so I decided to make my own light rom.
Internet is back so updates will be coming more often

this post in interduction the new rom?? :-o

plz correct this post
I've been using LorD ClockaN's ROM for a long time now I'm a big fan of his work and effort that he's put into it, however.. a 'lite' version sounds great to me!
My layout on my phone, the way I customize it, is the exact same as whats in your ROM description. 3 home pages, no download tab in apps, the ringtones and notification etc... Thats all music to my ears brotha'! I hope he doesn't mind me using yours from now on, after all I now no longer have to change things after first boot Welcome to the scene haerigrek and thanks for making the world a better place. Hope you have lots of fun with it!!

Just installed the rom, so far so good. Runs smooth, as to expected since the base rom you use. Would like to know if you have any tweaks coming in next versions?
Keep up the good work!
Edit:
Just noticed the mail app is missing, on purpose?
Google search is missing: using the soft button doesn't work, adding the quick search widget doesn't work either.

Yes I'm using only the Gmail so the stock email app is gone. The search button may not work. As I deleted GoogleQuickSearch, there is no search application. I will look into that and if necessary the app will be back. I never used it so I didn't even notice.
For future releases I'm planning on even more set customization. I started deleting languages. In next release the apex launcher will be english only (or if requested maybe some other languages). I am also waiting for some faster launcher to appear. I like Apex a lot, it reminds me of ADW but with all the customization options it tends to slow down after some time. I was thinking about replacing the stock browser since there are some problems with it but Chrome isn't ready and I don't want to impose any other browser on you guys + 7.5 is on its way and the issues with the browser should be fixed by then.
I would like to ask which battery icon would you guys like me to leave. I deleted all of them which ended up with an error mentioned in the first post. I am willing to bring one back but I need to know which one will be the happiest choice for you. After all I am sharing this so you can be happier Cheers
I would suggest just a percentage (in numbers, nothing flashy)
Thanks for your effort - running smoothly at moment (apart from the problems you've pointed out yourself)
Look forward to next update

Thanks for support but I'm not developing, I'm merely modifying a great ROM to make it lighter to save space and maybe make the ROM run quicker.
It would be nice if you could refresh screenshots. I don't know how rest, but i like to see pictures of rom i am going to flash ;]
Btw. On first look, it seems quite nice.
This ROM looks like a cool idea! I just had a suggestion, I don't know if its in your "philosophy" of the ROM but wouldn't it be better if you left a little more stuff/everything in and let people choose what to keep or remove through Aroma.
For instance you can chose your ringtone at the start and not have extra ones wasting space or some people might want the stock sms and others might just prefer one from the play store.
Just my 2 cents

Hello together,
I have a Xt925 running JB 4.1.2 (O2 Firmware, rooted, locked bootloader) and was wondering if anybody could provide me with an inverted contacts.apk or one with a black background. The one in my firmware has a white background color and that is really annoying.
I already tried other contact-apps and the best one I found was GoConteacts EX. Normally I would use it but it has this little bug that it breaks the contacts-sync as one can see in the playstore-comments.
So I basically ok with the stock contacts.apk except the white background. So if anybody could please help out here?
Thanks.
No one? I like black background too, maybe the apk from ICS? I update to JB and boom!, white background, I don´t like it...
I am using exdialer & contacts from the play store right now. I also installed the theme black ics for this app. It's not perfect but it does the job. The only problem is that if you add a new contact you get the white background again. In my case that is OK because I normally add my contacts in outlook on my pc and sync them. Dialer and contact lists are black and that is OK for me.

For the most part, ICS/JB is a user interface change. Pleasant looking menus with a cool blue color. There are quite a few options out there to give your G2X the look/feel of ICS/JB but I had my eye on efficiency.
The Ice10 Theme and Holo apps are easy on the battery and use little additional CPU. Of course, if you increase cache sizes and use fancy transitions YMMV. But I'm quite happy with my ICS/JB themed phone.
1. Start with the latest CM7 Nightly. I don't know if this works with other ROMs, but it should. GB7.2 is recommended.
2. DO A NANDROID BACKUP
3. Install the ICE10 Theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2003484
. . This gives you some of the ICS/JB look/feel.
. . Put the Ice10.apk on your SD Card, click to install. Then start the Theme Chooser app, select Ice10 and click Apply.
. . If you get a theme error that you are missing assets for your screen size, just click Apply Anyway. Reboot phone.
4. Install Holo Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.hololauncher
. .Holo Launcher on XDA
. .Holo Launcher is a brilliant app that gives you the ICS app drawer, screens, and menus. The screenshots don't
. .do it justice, it looks even better than that!
5. Install Holo Locker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
. .Holo Locker on XDA
. .This gives you the ICS lock screen!
For the Ice10 Theme, the G2X resolution is already 240DPI so no changes are needed.
I paid for Holo Launcher Plus because the full ICS/JB experience is well worth the $1.99. It includes additional transitions and improvements. Holo Launcher is insanely customizable! The dock is scrollable and can have up to 10 icons. The Desktop and Drawer each have settings for the "scrolling cache", which is none, Low quality, Normal quality, and High quality. All this really means is the higher the quality, the more RAM it uses to make the transitions faster and smoother You can also change the desktop and app drawer grid size so you can fit a hell of a lot more apps on your screen.
For both Holo apps, I recommend going into the Settings and disabling Auto check for Updates and Auto Report. I don't like my apps checking for updates in the background, uses battery and CPU.
The Ice10 theme XDA thread contains wonderful info on final mods you can make to truly have the complete and total ICS/JB look/feel. Keep in mind that isn't a G2X thread so some of the mods, like the final Menu mods, are phone and ROM specific, so someone would have to make those additional mods specific for the G2X and specific ROM.
The below screenshots are for my CM7 Nightly ROM. Notice how Holo Launcher gives you a dramatic difference in the Settings. The Menu button is also different and the menu options are completely customizable.
Sorry for the lo-res Starship Enterprise wallpaper but it was a camera photo taken of the TV screen some days ago. Zooming in lost lots of resolution.
This is really a fantastic mod. I have all the user interface benefits of ICS/JB while having a totally operational phone with HW acceleration. I really don't need or don't care about using any other ROM at this point, although I'm waiting for Mazout's next kernel.
Thanks to EricTheLuminant for pointing me in this direction.
Remember to THANK ME if you appreciate this!
Thanks I'll probably try the theme later tonight.
Two quick questions: what does your notification center look like? And can you pull down the notification center from the lock screen?
That makes it really easy to check my texts if its in my shirt pocket.

That makes it really easy to check my texts if its in my shirt pocket.

Yes, you can pull down the notification bar from the lock screen. I just tested it on my phone, I didn't even know ICS could do that!
With the above mods notification bar looks like a cross between ICS and GB. It can be modded to look exactly like ICS/JB.
I see you are enterprising on the theme and guide I mentioned earlier! This is good, but you are missing some vital elements that can make CM7 even more ICS/JB like.
Using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363239, you'll find many more options. If you are experienced enough or willing to read instructions carefully, you can also use the ACpatcher software to custom mod several apps and the framework to increase the experience. It's very technical, and I don't have the willpower to walk through each and every step.
However, I have made some patches already based on the 2013-03-01 cm7 nightly. I'll see if I can upload them for you guys to give it a whirl. They add ics style notifications, transitions, and phone. See the screenshots attached.

I took a quick look. My focus is on stability and performance, and some of the mod apps mentioned in that thread have huge RAM usage, crash often, and/or have more negative than positive reviews, including the status bar apps.
The Holo Locker lock screen is much better than the GB lock screen. It's easier to use. The only thing I miss is being able to change from ring to vibrate to silent from the lock screen.
Holo Launcher makes the entire experience much more pleasant. It only uses 38MB of RAM.
The Ice10 theme from what I can see uses minimal RAM.
Oh of course. I'm not talking about the RAM using apps, nor do I use any of them...I'm talking about themeing and replacing the framework and phone app to better suit ICS/JB style. That status bar image is completely stock, as is the phone.
These don't affect battery, merely the look.
Download the patches I have made from my dropbox and put them on your sd card.

These patches were made based on the 2013-03-01 CM7.2 Nightly, and I do not know if they will work for older versions or other roms. They are made specifically to work with the Ice10 theme. It is important that these are flashed in the correct order.
1. In CM recovery, make a nandroid backup (although you can also flash the undo.zip files in case of failure. They will restore the original unmodified apps, and you should only need to flash the update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-undo.zip)
2. Select mounts and storage
3. Select mount /system
4. First Flash update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip
5. Second Flash update-cwm-JBPhone-pach.zip
6. Last Flash update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip
7. Wipe cache and dalvik
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot (will take a few more minutes than usual to rebuild the cache)
Afterwards, you should notice a few things. Your status bar, notifications, font, phone, etc. will be themed more properly to ICS/JB. Good luck!
thanks
Thank to both of you. Till now i have been using ics theme on ADW launcher. Many key components were not themed to ics. Hope to get it sorted now.
Thanks again.

Install Holo Launcher and you'll think your phone came from heaven.

Eric, you are going to have to tell us EXACTLY what your patches include. I don't install anything blind.
That would help wouldn't it?
Inside update-cwm-All-in-1 ICS v11-patch.zip:
You'll find theme modifications to the system apps bluetooth.apk, deskclock.apk, downloadprovider.apk, music.apk, phone.apk, systemUI.apk. These will further theme the system apps to the color and style of ICS/JB.
framework-res.apk is also modified to add ICS/JB transition animations, as well as ICS/JB themed notifications and status bar.
If you look at the images I posted earlier, you'll notice that the status bar notifications have that little square on the left, in the manner of ICS.
Inside update-cwm-JBPhone-patch.zip,
you'll find another phone.apk, framework-res.apk. This must be flashed after the first patch, as it will overwrite the the previous ones. This will give your phone app a more ICS/JB style look as well. See screenshots from earlier.
The last patch, update-Full.ICS.Fonts-with.Clock.Font.zip, merely adds the ICS roboto font across your device.
The undo-patches simply return the themed apps back to the original CM7 stock ones. Is it imperative that the theme patches are flashed correctly in the instructions mentioned previously if you wish to use them.
Will the patches work with Hellfire rom?
Wow. Very very cool, Eric.
What if I only want the settings mod?

Try this.
Also, I don't know if these patches work with Hellfire. You could give it a go and let us know!
As you say sire.
Will flash them today and let you know.

Got it! IT WORKS!
However, the headings ("Wireless and Networks", "Interface", etc) aren't the nice cool blue color. How do I get that?
BTW, if anyone is having problems copying settings.apk into system/root using ES file Explorer, after you click "Mount File System (mount /system as writable)", you need to close ES, then restart.
It has to do with the parameters set by the Ice10 theme. This is probably out of our control, unless someone edits the theme file itself to change the codes and such. Way out of my ability, anyways.

It's just a theme change. You shouldn't lose anything. Why, is there some tweak needed to play that game?
