Happy new year y'all, and that would mean happy me for having a new phone.
I have been an iOS user since iPhone 3G so I don't know much about Android, however I do know though that Nexus line is a stock Android OS. This would mean that there will be no bloatware installed.
For starter, how do I have a minimal theme for my phone? Do I need to root it, and/or install different ROMS? I prefer to have a stock ROM though. Will it doable?
Do I have to download themes or launchers or what?
Maybe something like this,
{

You can try a different launcher.
So launchers have nothing to do with a custom ROM?

They can do too.
This is one major difference you'll find with android. You can replace almost anything. Lock screens, keyboards, launchers....
There's a good thread in themes and apps where we share out homescreens. Worth looking there for inspiration. Some people use Zooper or uccw to make their own widgets too.
Okay great. Thank you!

More correctly, the Nexus line is stock Google. Granted, the stuff they add is a lot more useful than bloat the OEM/carrier can add but stuff you don't use is bloat regardless.

I'm looking for a completely plain black wallpaper. Trying to do a minimalish look. Also it helps battery life.
Thank you.

One of those first 3 should work beautifully.
Or you can take a black photo with the nexus camera

I never knew that. I guess I just assumed it was the same as LCD where there is no difference.
See the following thread if anyone is interested in knowing more:

Ive been using straight up black for some time now. I just covered the lens of the camera and shot it. Def helps with the battery a ton. Live wallpapers are nice and all, but for me they get old fast.

Haha...why not asking for a transparent wallpaper instead? So you could see the insides of your phone?
Seriously.. people nowadays shout for somethng before even thinking about the what and how :/
..well.. this came unexpected.. sry for doubleposting
What the hell were they thinking, i only got my tab yesterday so im not really sure how to go about this.
Thanks

you will need to theme it (but i think there is no theme out yet), or a replacement app.
i do not like it too. some samsung apps are uniformly with wood theme (like the book app, the reader hub, etc., others are white and blue. fragmentation typical for android
ok thanks, any recommendations on a different app to use?
I highly recommend Youlu. One of the best looking contact apps i've ever seen. Has a MIUI feel about it. Easy to use too. My only issue is it only seems to get contacts from one account.

The youlu is nicer then dialer one, tnx
I'm working on a gingerbread style theme for the modified SGT apps that have the fugly wood theme however I had to take a break for the holidays, I'll post them when I'm done though if you want.
Agreed, it's ugly...

Id be interested in this as well... wish I had the time and know how to do it myself!
what kind of theme are you looking for?
Here is the Facebook.apk that is from my theme. It has 147 edited images in it.
It would probably be best to uninstall the version of Facebook you have on your phone, reboot, then adb push this to /system/app/Facebook.apk.
I am pretty sure that @djdarkknight96 has one in the DarkGinger themes that can be used as well.

The browser in my theme is only lightly themed, and I think it relies on some other apk's for certain aspects of it, so it would probably wouldn't work right by itself if I posted it.
Nice work David! Looks sweet... I'll check this out later

If anybody has been interested in the new droid turbo, you're not alone. But it's not quite avaliable anywhere and it's supposedly also very expensive. There is one thing I liked about it, and it's the widget.
The flashable zip can be found right in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/themes-apps/app-droid-turbo-widget-1080p-t2936631
Download and flash in recovery. Credits go to the maker of this widget for 1080p devices.
If you don't have a custom recovery, you can manually move the apk to system/priv-app and set 644 permissions and move the framework file to system/framework with correct permissions.
working very well : İyi:
Looks great on the VS980. I just can't get it to be centered.

You can't on LG home launcher it seems. It's because it's a 4x2 widget as opposed to the 5x2 that LG uses.
I use it with nova launcher and I have no problems.
Here also is the Widget xvidgets https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xwidgetsoft.xwidget&hl=pl the same and you can set the resize widget

Gotcha. I actually like the stock launcher. I'll deal with it. Good to know if I ever want to switch though. Thanks for the heads up.
Works like a charm thanks for sharing!
Appreciate it!
Mi almost missed this one thanks :good:
Is there someway to get this on the lockscreen for lg roms?
