[Theme][MIUI] Black'Ups Darkness HD Theme[Beta] Updated For 11.5 build

I take no credit for creating this theme this is a port of the Darkness HD theme by Black'Up. I just used the template provided by blackup and icons made by other users to port the theme. I have tried to make custom icons for most of the apps that I use.
Features:
custom icons (thanks to black'up and macthemes community)
custom widget box skin and folder skin (thanks to newone from purple kush theme)
bounce animation(thanks aamikam and magnus for posting)
carousel animation for switching between tasks(taken from Multitasking pro app by Royerd) - Works well with itchingthumb
custom wallpaper (taken from insetHD theme on the iphone but modified to have android instead of apple)-u might have to add the wallpaper urself
includes auto brightness fix (from MIUI thread)
this is my first theme and i just figured out how to make it a flashable zip. I know it flashed fine for me so it should work.
also if there are icons you would like to see customized for this let me know.
Note this is based on MIUI 10.29 so i dont know how it will work for previous versions

It looks really nice.

Pretty badass looking. Nice work!

AwesomeZ!!!
A few questions.
Did you theme highlight colors? IE not android orange anymore for? I think all green would look great.
Also does this theme put a black backround around newly installed apps? I thought I saw this feature in purple.
Anyways, thanks for this theme. I will be flashing later today!!

I didnt theme the highlight colors but i can update that and yes it does make a black background for newly installed apps

Nice work!!! Would it be possible to make a black Google search bar?

Here is my setup. Could you make a icon for the NFL App and Wifi tether?
Running it on 1.26 no wipe of cache, dalvik, or anything flashed over with Clockwork.

Thanks guys ill try to get the icons requested in the next update. And no this is a theme for MIUI

Is there a way I can get to the Icons themselves I'm using Handcents but i'd like it to have the SMS Icon not the stock one and if I can get a hold of the .png i could rename it and place it in the folder for the Handcents.
Thank you!!

[THEME][MOD] HARMoNizED-EViL v0.0.1a for The Classic v0.0.0.4 - Harmony

- This theme is for The Classic v0.0.0.4 - Harmony
- Works with Stock Harmony Sense, Stock GB Launcher included in Harmony, or senseless with any 3rd party launcher YOU the user prefer. I recommend GOLauncher EX, and the GO DEV Teams highly customizable suite of apps(GOSMS Pro, GOContacts EX (includes GODialer EX), and the GOWidgets of your choice.) However IF you choose to use the GO suite of apps I recommend purchasing the SENSE theme (for $1.00 on the market) for your launcher, the Green GLOW GOwidgets Theme (for $1.49), LIME GREEN NEON theme for GOContacts/Dialer EX BlackMinimal Theme for GOSMS Pro(also free on the market) and Using Factory Widgets Sense Analog clock, which is free and has tons of themes to D/L right from the app for free, you can change all the colors of the Numbers and other info on the clock. Or you can purchase Fancy Widgets Unlocker and use all the great Themes it has to offer with animated weather and themeable weather icons etc.
- The lock bar is not themed. I recommend using one of the ZipThemer mods from the MODS&THEMES section for The Classic, white or green or whatever you choose as it comes stock still red Classic text on the lock bar
- The bootanimation included in the zip is broken, Delete it and add the one included in the download section here(it works finally)
- There is a themed HTC_IME included for download here that matches the theme if you choose to use it.
- I will add a wallpaper section at a later date as well besides the one that will be posted along with the theme for download
I do not own or profit from any of the paid themes I've recommended they are just my personal recommendations as they are what I use on my phone personally. As always I'm not reliable for what you flash to your phone. Remember to wipe CACHE/DALVIK CACHE, flash and enjoy. The IME_MOD is not flashable just extract the APK and sideload it like any other app. Bootanimation is already renamed just delete the ANDROID_DNA_ and place the spc_bootanimation.zip into SYSTEM/CUSTOMIZE/RESOURCE after backing up or deleting the existing file. I use ES File Explorer to do this, you can use whatever root file explorer you choose tho. ENJOY!
Edit: wallpapers are not flashable just extract and save and the included keyboard is the one with the Google page other keyboard is available upon request I just have to dig it out if the stack of IME's

exciting! Thanks for sharing!

FINALLY
WE ARE LIVE! slow uploads and errors in code slowed me down but its up now, ENJOY!

Looks good I like the green you used.

Ty I'm not seeing the modded keyboard screenie from my app but its like the grey one but black glass and no android on the space bar

Now it showed up its the keyboard on the Google image is the one I included I also included a pack of matching wallpapers its not flashable I forgot to mention that in the op I'm going to correct that now

[Q] Changing all icons to black&white

Hi there,
So recently I got Nexus 5 after 4 years of HTC Desire. Quite a huge leap performace wise I might add, and this phone is absolutely a sweetheart. The first thing I did was rooting the phone :laugh:
Anyways, I am thinking to change the color of all icons (including icons of applications) to black and white. I get it that I would need to extract the icons first, and then change the color using some icon or icon editing program or simply a photo editing program etc.
Now what I would need to know is that how can I repack the icons back to the application? or would I need to place it in some directory and fiddle with some xml file?
Cheers!

Why don't you just use a Launcher that allow you to use custom icons? with Nova and Apex you can do it

Icons are icons. The colour of icons does not need xml files. Its all controlled by images.
You can actually repack quit easily, but also takes a lot of effort. You need to look at the villain rom theme engine. It is a flashable zip that unpacks each apk and replaces whatever you have in the zip in the apk. Essentially you would have /system/app_name/res/icon.png (pretending that this is the location of the icon in the apk, each will be different I expect)... but you have to do this for every app.

How Do Modify an Icon Pack

I've been using DCiconZ for quite a while, and I recently learned that the template was publicly available, and started the king apps that hasn't been done yet. Just now, I downloaded Union, because I liked the idea of the theme being universal. However, as they aren't actually part of the icon pack, simply PNGs that I manually set to be the icons defaults, Unicon doesn't recognize them, and uses the default theme for them. Anyone know how I can modify the icon pack to include my updates?

How to theme Touchwiz?

Is there a way to theme touchwiz or stock for custom status icons via signal bars, clock colors, notification colors etc? Tried making flashable zips but didnt change the look any, still the same default after editing images and changing xml color codes still no luck

Without the theme creator you might have to copy a theme from system/app and decompile and edit. I haven't had a chance to start on one for my phone yet. I would grab a theme that has made the most changes so the apk is the most complete.
here is a link for some themes you might want to look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...e-samsung-stock-s6-themes-collection-t3080847

I just wanted to make a few system edits via signal bar colors, battery bar icons etc. When you decompile the SytemUI.apk on the stock deodexed rom, the images are in Samsung's QMG format. You can convert the QMG images to png format and edit them but after multiple attempts at trying to create flashable zips and forcing the apk into reboot, no changes were made, the png images are in the apk with the original QMG format deleted but still the same default. I installed the xposed framework and installed the x Theme Engine but it does not support lollipop 5.1.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am on a loop as to what to do now to make a fully custom theme for my stock rom

The files you are changing might be getting replaced by a theme overlay, even the default theme (lollipop) is an overlay. So you should try replacing the images in whatever theme your using.

Im not finding the default theme and out of a few apks I have decompiled, the system is the only one with the signal icons, this is some folders related to theming but even the touchwiz app doesnt have the signal bars, xblast tools works but if I'd like to include the feature in my own theme, I still have not found a way. I decompiled a theme and the only images in it are related to app icons so that's a dead end there

A theme overlay I would think is the only way to do it now. In older versions of Android you could simply replace images and do xml and smali edits. Now it is much more complicated since Samsung hasn't released theme designer/creator to the public...
If you look inside the main apk of a theme in data/app you will see all the rest of the apk's for that theme. Example Material dark is com.cambunch.MaterialDark. If you decompile all the apk's inside the theme's main apk you can make changes there. I haven't tried to change anything that isn't included yet in a theme. But you might be able to add apk's that you create to it that have your changes you have made.
I hope more people jump in here so we can figure this out so people can create personalized themes for themselves and others.

The default theme is not in /data/app. I manually pushed a modified systemui.apk with changed images and it force closed the systemui. After a reboot, there was no force close but no status bar either

I was referring to the MaterialDark theme as an example and how theming is done now with lollipop. I know systemui.apk is in system/priv-app and theming individual apps doesn't work anymore.

The Material Dark theme was made using the theme service software? That's the only current way to create a theme now?
Edit: they are all separate apks now for each part of the theme

Yes this is the only way to theme now.
Also all those smaller apk's are all located in the main apk for the theme. Using MaterialDark as en example again com.cambunch.MaterialDark is the main part and has all the smaller apk's inside. Each of the smaller apk's theme one app.
So what I am saying is you have to grab a theme off your phone ( just the main app ) it will have all the smaller apk's in it. Then you have to decompile it and you will have all the smaller apk's then you can decompile and edit those. You should be able to add more images other then what is in those smaller apk's as long as the naming is correct.

I talked to a very reputable themer selling themes in the galaxy theme store. After asking her a few questions it appears the ONLY way to theme is with the samsung software which i applied for yesterday. Even decompiling an already made theme, a png is not going to replace a qmg image already set in the application so that's the only downfall. Being short of being capable to fully theme like you used to be able to via cm theme engine is kind of sad aswell. Also, with the samsung theme engine, text colors and status bar icons can no longer be modified with the samsung software

I am theming my phone without Samsungs software by taking a part other themes seeing what makes them work and making my own. It is very slow going but I have been able to replace qmg files with png. and change text colors. I haven't found the limits yet because I haven't tried to add more then what is in anyone theme yet.
Don't be disappointed if Samsung declines you they have declined a lot of known themers. I was declined but I have never publicly released a theme...

I will be posting a howto in the next couple of days. I have been able to replace images and change colors. It is pretty involved because you need to make some batch files to batch decompile, recompile, zipalign and sign around 60 apk's (depending on your theme). The only problem I have had is I have to manually move the sjon file so it doesn't show as a trial theme. Once I figure out how to make the sjon file go to the correct place it will be much easier for installs.

Is the sjon file there if you have purchased a theme? I have purchased a few, would you suggest using a paid theme as a base? According to the pictures of the Samsung Theme Designer software, it looks as easy as selecting overall theme colors in a GUI display so it might be considerably easier if we all just continuously apply until you get approved? From what I have been told, they make verdicts of applicants the 15th of every month...

mine was pieced together with several free themes and will show as a trial theme. I haven't figured out what theme manager looks at to tell if a theme is free trial or payed. You are right about similar color but the theme might not be complete.
