Hey everyone, I have ported johnblundon's 5ubz3r0 Theme Chooser theme to an xtheme for use in the xtheme engine module. If you're not familiar with xthemes or the xposed framework and you're running a rooted stock setup, then you might want to check it out. I believe anything from 4.0 to 4.3 can run the Xposed Framework, and is definitely cool if you're running stock.
First you need the Xposed Framework installed.
The Xposed Framework is here and you can find out more about it and how it works, as well as download the apk and install it. Once it's installed, go to the app Update/Install the framework and reboot.
Next you need to install the Xtheme Engine Module which will act like CM's Theme Chooser and let you install Xthemes (which are based on Theme Chooser Themes.)
The Xtheme Engine is here, you'll install the XthemeEngine.apk, and once it's installed it'll pop up and notification that the module isn't active. Touch the notification, or go back to Xposed Framework app, and activate the module and reboot.
Now you're ready to add themes and apply them.
Download the 5ubz3r0 xtheme below, install it, then go to your Xtheme Engine app (module), check the Subz3r0 theme, apply it, and reboot.
**Note - You might get a popup about Install/Update in the Xposed Installer when you open the Xtheme Engine app, just click the back button and ignore it. The Framework was updated, and the Xtheme Engine has not been updated yet to reflect it.
That's it, now you have a themed stock setup, plus you can download other modules to add other customizations, or add more xthemes. Once the Framework and Engine are installed, adding and changing themes is just like in CM. I'll post the 3-way reboot module below which is pretty handy.
Here is the Advanced Power Menu module for those who want it.
Special Thanks to johnblundon for allowing me to port his theme, and for his permission to share with you all. If you're running CM check out his theme in the Playstore and make sure you head over here and thank him, he made all of this possible and deserves all the credit. Themeing is new to me, and hopefully I can keep learning and breakout some of my own here pretty quick.
Now for some screen shots. This is the 5ubs3r0 xtheme, with a few changes of my own to suit my preference and to accommodate our Moto setup. This was my first port, and there are a couple of things to tweak still, but hopefully you enjoy it. Soon as I have an update I'll post it, and if there are other icons you want to see themed, just list them and I'll try to get them worked in.
For wallpaper's, boot animations, and other goodies check out the Playstore link above.
Xposed Module Repo you can find the Xuimod here plus many other customizations and mods.
Here is the Xtheme

VEry cool man! Nice work!
Xui Mod
Hey man you did mention a pretty nice xtheme but also let the guys use the XuiMod module as well. Its has been my favorite when it comes to transitions. Also a few other themes i liked and use: Circle theme, ruby, crystal 2, mixer, borderline, blue lime. Do check these as well.Just to get that neat stunning look coupled with the XuiMod animations and transitions. Anyone running stock would love these....

I just tried the XuiMod, definitely some cool animations. I'll add a link to the Xposed Modules Repo in the top so others can grab what they want, and see what else is out there. Thanks for the tip.

Any icons in particular, or just in general? I used 72x72 icons because that is generally defined as hdpi, and if you look in the un-modified framework-res.apk, in the /res/drawable-hdpi folder the icons used are 72x72. Have you changed your screen density with another mod somewhere?

I did but changed dpi to 240. It was 213 Nexus dpi
Could anyone help me make a theme apk that works with the CM11 theme engine out of an icon pack? This is for personal use ONLY and I was wondering how I would go about doing so because I want to have the Google Experience Launcher themed, WITH ART (so no Unicon because it uses Xposed). Thanks!
Anyone?
Hey i bought a Acer 380. Didnt like the skin same for the launcher
so i rooted it and installed gravity box and xui mod and Apex launcher and some kitkat wallpapers.
Overal it feels and looks like kitkat. but the dropdown notification bar is iritating me Its SO ugly
is there any way to change that
or do i need a rom
if i need a rom tell me what one works on my phone and has a amazing skin
Noob question:
I installed Xposed framework on my MTK6589 Chinese phone running on JB 4.2.2. Then I installed HK theme manager and applied the S5 theme from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/s5-theme-hk-theme-manager-xtheme-engine-t3045968
For some reason, Messaging and Dialer are not themed and my Quicksettings bar looks different than the one from the original thread. There are these ugly gaps between icons which I would like to remove, but I don't know how. Also, the toggles are different and ugly, they have a line below which is supposed to be removed. If there is a way to edit that, I would appreciate your help. I will provide screenshots to be specific on what I mean.
Anyone?
hi all,
I'm coming from a miui7 rom on galaxy s4mini, and it seems the guy had already integrated some flat icons for common apps. what about this miui 8 icon pack on the playstore? will it interfere with my theme or just add these icons?
can you recommend another one?
thanks
