Google actually has a
few other themes built-in. You just need
to uncover them with this trick.
You'll need a custom launcher that can
access Android Activities for this to
work, like Apex or Nova—which we
highly recommend downloading
anyway , since they're awesome. Once
you've got one installed, just follow these
steps:
1# Long-press on the home screen and
head to Shortcuts > Activities from
the menu that pops up.
2# Choose "Google Keyboard" (or
"Android Keyboard (AOSP)"
depending on your device and
Android version), and head to
"Android Keyboard Debug
Settings." This will create a
shortcut on your home screen.
3# Tap that new shortcut and you'll
get some advanced settings for
your stock keyboard. Choose
"Keyboard Theme" to pick a new
theme for your keybaord.
You can choose from Basic (which is the
pre-Gingerbread theme), Stone,
Gingerbread, and IceCreamSandwich
(the default on ICS and higher), with a
few variations. Pick which one you like,
and enjoy!

The app "Icon Changer free":

And a selection of flat-icons that I collected via google over many weeks.
1.) Flash nameless ROM via CWM (thanks to nameless, troopii, bernie and everyone involved)
Then edit file "build.prop" in folder "/system"
Add the following : ro.bq.gpu_to_cpu_unsupported=1
This will fix the rotation glitches.
thanks to troopii!
2.) Settings -> Crazy Lab -> Send Error Reports (uncheck)
3.) Settings -> Lock screen -> Lockscreen notifications -> Pocket mode (uncheck it = fixes steady red light on proximity sensor)
If you want a neat "Pocket Mode" app, that will make the LEDs flash on missed calls and sms, feel free to try out :
O3DLEDs1.4

Not many options, but it works
or
Gravity Screen - On/Off
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree&hl=de
Tons of settings and options ! Like turn on display with a gesture in front of the proximity sensor or turn it on while pulling it out of your pocket.
Both apps will use the LEDs of the touch keys, that we will disable on step 7.).
They will flash anyaway on missed calls !
4.) Flash play services
5.) Flash "L" keyboard
6.) Settings -> Language -> check google keyboard only
Go to its settings symbol on the right, tap it and scroll down to "advanced settings" -> Colour scheme -> Material
7.) Go to Settings -> Navigation Bar -> Check Force Navigation & Check Disable hardware Keys
8.) Install "SoftKeyZ Root" (make a backup of your old symbols with this tool if needed)
9.) Choose from one of the many "L" symbol presets (yes, there is also the original developer preview images)
10.) Enjoy and place icons as needed using google and "Icon Changer free".

Update 29-02: Enable Android 10 Native Screen Recording
Revamped with Full screen gestures, MIUI 12 tries to make Recents screen more handy. Now with Mi Note 10 in hand, I’ll share with you some of its usability.
Tap or swipe to open Recents screen
MIUI 12 supports 2 ways of system navigation, namely, Buttons mode and Full screen gestures mode.
Visit “Additional settings” > “Full screen display”, and the user can choose his or her preferable way to open Recents screen. Under Button mode, the user can tap the square button on the bottom of the screen to open the recent apps overview.
While under Full screen gestures mode, Recents screen will be open by swiping from the bottom. If you feel the full screen indicator irritating, you can also choose to hide it.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go to Manage apps through Recents screen
Recents screen in MIUI also provides a shortcut to Cleaner, Security scan, Deep clean and Manage apps. Tap to enter Manage apps, and you’ll have a clear view about how many apps you have on your phone. You can also uninstall apps or enable dual apps in bulk.
Widgets of Recents screen
Long press the app window in Recents screen, and you will find 4 widgets come out. From top to bottom, I’ll walk you through the four options.
The first option can be used to lock important apps so that they remain open even when you tap the “Clear all apps” button.
The second is for splitting screen, serving your multitasking needs.
With the third option, you can enable the floating window of the current app, a more flexible way to multitask.
The last option can be used to open App info, which is useful when you wish to change app permissions, app notifications, and app data usage directly here.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Description:
There are 5 widgets in the application, there is no application interface itself.
2 widgets - transparent widgets, for locking the screen by double-clicking and single-clicking, respectively. (arbitrary size).
3 widgets - widgets in the form of a lock of different colors, for locking the screen by pressing. (1x1).
Tap on the application icon also blocks the screen, this was done for the general style under "Thematic icons", android 13 (Pixel)
Instruction:
1. Install the application.
2. Open system settings /Accessibility/DoubleTapWidget
warning will be issued,
press "OK".
3. Open system settings / applications / find in the list DoubleTapWidget / Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner - "Allow settings changes", will ask for a password.
4. Again we go to point 2, but now you can activate the toggle switch
5. Go to the home screen, open the list of widgets, and select the desired widget.
Advantages:
1. The application does not consume battery as it uses a simple widget.
2. Without Root
3. Without any advertising.
Version: 1.2

Version: 1.2:
It skips the screen off animation. Is it possible to add it back? Maybe power off with root to achieve this?
I use this widget "Screen off - Widget & tile".

What's the reason for this app if we already have Double to Sleep on stock?

We don't have double tap to sleep on stock.
I always use double tap to sleep features that come with Nova Launcher. Great works, regardless

As mentioned yes unfortunately there is no double tap to sleep on stock unless you use a custom launcher.

You mean on Nova?
Is granting accessibility access to an app a safety concern?
