Wrong section mate
Use Q&A for this...
BTW - you have tutorial in crossection "how to make transparent framework" you can use that or any tutorial online to edit settings app.
Only instead of translucent, use dark.theme settings.
Try to google "how to make black framework" then apply that on setting.
You'll see, it's really not that hard..

I'll give it a whirl, just suprised that no ones already done it. I've never had to do it so don't want to mess it up. I suppose it's easy once you know how.

There are some tryings and few ROMs but im not sure is there any based on latest firmware.
You have jfxperias ROM - dark...
Z1 is looking great and elegant in white so I guess that's the reason - there's no "market" for dark apps....
But here you go, open thread, mod some apps to dark and change that... - Why not..
Android is awesome platform, you have dark and light assets (backgrounds, icons, buttons) in every ROM.
You just have to change few xml files and few smali (for settings/apps) and it'll work.
That's the huge advantage - just imagine you should draw every single png!
That should all have in mind when spits on manufacturers...

Im fairly sure you're allowed to post themed apps as long as there not private/paid apps (eg, Swype, most games, etc )

I'll keep an eye on this thread.
Working on it now, looking good so far too! Once I sign it I will post a screenshot here! If it works, that is.
Not sure why but When I zipped the files back it's smaller than the original. I Looked in every folder and nothing has changed. I push the signed apk and it will not show up as an app. I tried to install and fails. Here are the images if someone wants to try it out. I'm not an app maker so clueless what's going on!! Facebook app didn't do this so dev must have encoded something? I have also themed the search widget, google voice widget, power widget, and the Browser black and no issues!!!! Help
I wish I know how to do this so I could help... I randomly try it myself and got stuck at application not installed after I zip it back up

Overcome [RC1] [Hermes] Theme

I collect the best images from all frameworks I've ever used.
Most of the icons and images are from Xperia Arc theme.
I've also changed the color of the Settings from white to black.
(On Hermes the color of Settings is black, so only replace
"framework-res.apk" and "SystemUI.apk". Also some of
the stuff are used on Hermes.)
Here is what you need to do:
1. Backup your original "framework-res.apk", "SystemUI.apk",
"Settings.apk", "AccountAndSyncSettings.apk" and "Phone.apk"
by Root Explorer or whatever you use in case you want to go back
to the original ones
2. Download the files I've attached and extract them.
3. Copy the extracted files to your SD card.
4. Move theme from SD card to the system.
5. Set their permission like the last attached picture.
6. Move "AccountAndSyncSettings.apk", "Phone.apk", "Settings.apk"
and "SystemUI.apk" to system/app.
7. Move "framework-res.apk" to system/framework.
8. Reboot Your Tab.
*On RC1 if you just want to turn the color of Settings to black, do these
steps only for "AccountAndSyncSettings.apk", "Phone.apk" and "Settings.apk".*
That's it, I hope you like it, if you do just hit the thanks button.
seems to be an interesting theme but not very impressive. as you know after one being on MIUI, rest everything looks so so.. what i say is, instead of backing up all those files if things go wrong, why don't we do a cwm backup and restore if things r not working?
did you manage to get timescape working?
thanks for the hard work and keep going. appreciated

Sure you can backup the files with cwm, I just wanted to say backup your files,
it's doesn't matter in which way.
I don't know about timescape because i haven't tried it.

I agree that the launcher launcher like that Apple device but the rom in general is one of the best imho.
Anyway, the theme looks nice. Good job bro.

I'm glad you all liked it.
I changed the color of the overscroll glow from orange to white, it looks better
on black pages but you are not able to see the color on white pages, so if you
to have different color just tell me to make another one and if you want to change
it yourselves there are two picture in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi with
the names "overscroll_edge.png" and "overscroll_glow.png".
looking very good
what does the Phone.apk do exactly ?
cuz nothing changes ?

When you replace "Settings.apk" your "Call Settings" and "Account and Sync" are
still white. So if you want to make them black you need to replace "phone.apk"
and "AccountAndSyncSettings.apk" as well.
Awesome work

@eyahl... maybe he's asking to change the background for the app drawer, and not the wallpaper...? If you look at the attached pic carefully, you'll realize its not the homescreen, but the app drawer, which has probably been modified in whatever garish looking ROM that is...
Although the other possibility is that the app drawer is completely transparent, in which case your suggestion is perfect . But i doubt that, because you can't see any other homescreen elements through the background, which would have been visible if the app drawer had been transparent (clock, other widgets, etc), so i think my hunch above is correct. (Also, I can't believe that the OP managed to flash an entire custom ROM without having the slightest idea regarding changing the wallpaper...wouldn't that be something!! )

Well, I've seen a lot things here I couldn't believe..
But I think you are right.
Anyways, changing the app drawers background is not that easy if it's not featured by the ROM.

It's some Chinese ROM, most probably from the GoApk forum.
yes, i'm asking is the background of the Application panel, here is the link of the rom, it is a chinese rom , but with multi language.

Flash Endymion.
You could use another launcher. Also try alt app draw (search the forum)
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
yeah you should stick with well known roms where you can get support, but there is a problem that needs to be solved so try pressing menu from within the app drawer to see if anything pops up , or it could be somewhere in the settings, it has to exist somewhere, if not consider another launcher

Look for "Custom background app drawer", and follow the steps given.

Flipboard for Android (Dark Theme Mod)

Hi Guys
I was just wondering if anyone would be able to do a Dark Theme Mod of the Flipboard app?
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would like this if possible.
Here's hoping! And thanks as always.

Well, it obviously looks like there is not a developer or themer that wants or needs this.
Maybe you all should work together to modify the app theme to a dark theme. It isn't that complicated. There is also the option of using a 3rd party launcher or 3rd party theme app to achieve this, some of these can even add the dark theme to everything on the device without needing to modify the apps themselves.

PlayStore, do a search for "dark theme" you'll probably see many options, try a few until you find one you like, don't be lazy.

I went to Playstore and searched for:
"Dark theme"
These are the results:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Dark theme&c=apps
Some of the apps in those results can be used to dark theme other apps, even add dark theme to the whole device with the right setup of app/apps. Try a lot of them, dig deeply into the different ways they can be used, see if any work together to enable/disable dark theme where you want/don't want.
I did a simple Google search for:
"Apps to make all apps dark theme"
This is one of the first results I found:
https://www.davebennett.tech/dark-theme-any-app/
That is just one result, there are many others.
The point is, there are things already available to do what you want.
If that isn't enough, do a Google search for:
"How to use APKtool to modify apps"
Or
"How to theme android apps"
Use one/some of those guides to learn how to actually modify and repackage the apk file of whatever app that you want to add dark theme to.
To learn how to actually edit the apk to add dark theme, do a Google search for:
"How to edit apk file to add dark theme"
You can even change the icon for the app or even change the image files for the different "buttons" or the font in the app, you can even change the color/location of buttons and text in the app.
The point is, the stuff to do what you want already exists at various levels of difficulty. Find the difficulty level that you are comfortable with and figure it out by trial and error.
I think I've shown you some basic examples of how you can acieve your result for any/all apps, it's up to you to dig in and find your best option.

I'm looking for the exact same answer. I normally do some light reading after dinner. And the white background on my android does my head in. I just saw that ios users have it lucky with the invert colours option. Why the step motherly treatment for us android users?
You can enable invert color option from developer menu while using Flipboard
Am using that since many days as I found no other option

Script Writing

I would like to write a script to make a custom toggle in quick settings open up the power widget. Anyone willing to either help me learn about writing script or to tell me the script to enter to make this magick happen?
Thank you in advance...:beer:
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Hi,
It's not with a script that you can do that, but you have multiple solutions:
- Decompile/modifie/recompile the SystemUI.apk and Framework (at least), there is some guides but it's the harder thing (like this for example then edit the quick settings).
The easy way is to use:
- A custom rom that allows quick settings management (see dev section).
- Use an app like Power Toggles or Notification Toggle.
- Use Xposed framework with Xposed modules like Gravity Box.
It depends if you are rooted or not, if you want to flash a custom rom, etc...
I'm sorry, I probably should've mentioned this before hand. I'm currently running slimkat 2.3, which, I don't know if your familiar with. But it has "The Chamber of Secrets", which allows you to basically write a custom shortcut to edit any setting within the build prop. ( Now you should know I'm guessing at its full capabilities because I don't know how to use it and I'm asking for help)
I'm not new to flashing ROMs, kernels or apks, but I've never compiled my own ROM. And I don't really have the capability or need to do so. From what I understand, the chamber of secrets is pretty amazimg , I just want to know how to use it.

Hai. Author here.
I routinely search xda for the chamber to make sure nobody has done anything TOO stupid with it lol.
Anyway.
Power menu isn't in it's capabilities.
However...wrote up a powemenu shortcut for slim shortcuts.
Merged...so will be in the next build.

Thanks juba. I didn't want to clog up the thread with my ignorance. I would really like to learn though. I tried doing some research on my own last night on the Settings.java file. But not sure what in looking at.
If you could please point me in the right direction to start learning it would be much appreciated. I understand that I could really needs things up if I do the wrong thing. And don't want to do that. However, I'm a pretty competent person and want to learn.
Thank you for all the work you have done for our perfect ROM!

Well.
The settings.java file lists all possible system settings.
For example...
Say I wanted to make a shortcut to turn my status bar clock a different color.
I'd search the file for something that looks like a match...
Like Ctrl+f > "clock"
Next...next...next...etc.
Oh, look. "statusbar_clock_color"
That sounds right.
Add to chamber.
Checkbox? No...that isn't a checkbox setting.
Values?
Here's where it gets tricky.
Check boxes and colors...simple.
Colors: input like it tells you to in the dialog.
-2 means default for us...so you could do red,#ff00aacc,-2
For example...to switch between those three values.
List preferences...
https://github.com/SlimRoms/packages_apps_Settings/blob/kk4.4/res/values/slim_arrays.xml
As you can see...the top bunch is for what looks like led timeout settings...
So if I wanted to change those...
I'd find the setting in settings.java...
Input desired values. Such as 0,2500
Which matches to always on and long.
Thank you. I'm going to be delving into this this weekend.
