[MOD] Dark Themed Notifications - Nexus 5X Themes and Apps

Black Toggle and Notification dropdown background with colored text for MDB08i.
Also, anyone that likes a different keyboard needs to check out Shaftamles thread (which he has had forever) and try some of his google themed keyboards.

Try this one.

I want to try this but want to be able to go to stick if I don't like it. Any chance you can have a stock zip?

I can Make one. Just make a copy your systemui.apk and framework-res.apk but I have stock copies.

It works. I like it, but if the notification is multiple lines, such as an email, the subject line is still super dark grey.
I would also like a stock one.

Are you referring to the text?

Yes the text in the notification. One line Is blue, middle section is dark grey, next line is white.

Are there any dangers to using this with MMB29Q, besides it just not working?

Just flashed it on my mmb29p without a problem. This zip makes a restore zip in a folder called ozop. Flash it to restore. These notifications don't work well with gmail. I use blue mail so it doesn't matter to me.
As a precaution, copy your current systemui and framework-res off to the side so you can get a full restore.

Caused some trouble for me on MMB29Q. I flashed the zip, the notifications theme did indeed change, however it produced some strange results with my pull-down settings, including altering the lock screen (this may be intentional?). Shortly afterward, I flashed the "return to stock". Phone now boots properly, but crashes a few seconds after putting in my PIN. No problem, I will just restore from last week's backup after work tonight. Too bad it failed I am a fan of your work. But no harm, no foul.
One other thing: is there a version of this mod without the center clock? I would be willing to try again if this were fixed. I will also post screenshots which may be beneficial.

Update: Recovered via TWRP easily. Screenshots attached of the mayhem that ensued. I don't pretend to know anything about theming, but it seems to me that most options are being mislabeled and this is potentially why the ui crashed. Perhaps because I used system ui tuner to move icons around? I am running stock ROM with ElementalX kernel, so the fault is more than likely on my end.
Update 2: As far as theming, the "StockblackNoteBlackToggleBG" zip is perfect except for the flipped navbar. If you could just switch it back to normal, it would be wonderful (also, dialog windows are rendering strangely - black text on black background). Thank you in advance. You're the best!

Try this one. The dark text on dark background will continue on gmail. It is an in-app issue. I already had this uploaded so I'll give you a zip to switch the nav bar back to normal. I had to pick a color to take the place of the dark text so you wouldn't have blue on blue. I can change it if you like.
The background is transparent so whatever is open behind this will show.

-updated versions recompiled with 8.27framework-
-version one works with 19-24 nightlys-
SWYPE ISSUES
-uninstall previous version with titanium if you encounter problems-
(if your having a tuff time i added the blueswyping.kb+mic to a UPDATE.ZIP and in APK)
UPDATE:
added
-people widget 1.2
(sense like people widget for adw)
-adb wireless
-themed cyanSwitcher
-snap widget
-fixed cam,mms,and email
I noticed that cm6 was finished so i recompiled the framework for it and elegant steel. i also added super circle battery to elegant, thats all i added. i have to go back and check out some more files in es since i never used it yet but i need testers so let me know. grab the cm6 final version of this theme BELOW
UPDATE:
I was having some issues yesturday and my buddy sdrew made me aware that the cam was broken. not vid just still;well i was working on updates ALL day trying to get things right on my phone so i could update, i ul'd a fix for the issues grab it below. the update will include hulu (thanks to planklongbeard),the options fixes and the newest adw. until i get the full update just grab the zip below and your issues will be resolved. I will finish full update in a bit, the source of my issues yesturday was an adw i was modding;its fixed now and everything is back on track,Sorry about any inconvenience. I had a NICE size update finished yesturday and when i returned to work it went bye bye....so i was forced to call it a night(or shoot somebody).
DOWNLOAD BB_FIX
UPDATE:
I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!we now have the first theme with integrated supercircle battery icons. I had to de-compile edit and then re-compile framework to get it to work right. i re-upped a version with the new swyping kb(Blueberry-CM-nightly-exp8cs.zip) for those who cant get it installed(downgrade is a pia); and another with the 1.56kb+tts(Blueberry-CM-nightly-exp7ds.zip) for those that can. Check below for dl's(use titanium for swypingKB removal).
i was feeling the need for a new theme so i threw this together. thank Jairomeo for his work on Flavored Ice(check his themes here) since i cant get 100 battery working right on cm yet i used Phinnaeus' battery and signal meter from sculpted.
Im still working on a few more extras and possibly two more themes atm as well, so be patient and help me get it right
I also included a themed swyping kb+mic
(i will be theming it a color i like more very soon)
THIS IS FOR NIGHTLYS starting with 8.24
(should work a few nites before)
DO NOT FLASH ON RC2 and complain about loop
(that would be YOUR error)
KEEP IN MIND, I HAVE MY CYANOGEN MOD SETTINGS all custom so i have TWO diff. colors of blue in the theme pics; the blue from the theme, and the cyan from my cyanogenmod custom colors setup.
(you can also adjust yours accordingly)

Love the settings icons..
I could show pics all day cause its really detailed everywhere Thank you for sharing this!
There is just a couple spots the white lettering is a bit hard to read. its by no means anything big at all and may even be me lol. The first one looks much better in the pic but on the phone the white letters below the add call etc don't really pop out at you. Black would pop out and be easier to read under different light/sunlight conditions.
Its the same in this one below where black would pop out more. As you know that would also change it black across the contact panel etc
Like I said these look great as is..it only becomes hard in different lighting conditions etc..
Is there anyway to get rid of the signal bars all together? Probably not but thought I would ask. Oh and are these the same fonts as in the last one? They seem close but I'm not positive.

i have some more things to add, but i would just make those parts completely opaque and they would not show up. really glad you like it and thanks for the feedback, its much appreciated. just curious did you do a data wipe before install or no?
Nope just wiped cache and flashed..I removed a few apk's so I can't say for sure those couldn't cause issues.
is there any way someone can port this over to the rc2 bc i am wanting to stop wiping and flashing eveday and losing all my stuff i just want something stable but i cant live with out this theme

You don't have to change everyday or at all for that matter, and keep rocking this theme!

[MOD] Remove Text From Home Screen(s) (Rosie)

Some alternative home launchers (ADW) enable you to remove the text underneath the icons on your home screen(s). The mod does the same while keeping the stock Rosie.
Attached is a MetaMorph that you can use to apply to your existing Rosie.apk, that will remove the text from the icons on the homescreen(s), while retaining any previous edits done to your Rosie launcher. It does not currently recoup the space that the text previously occupied, however, it does allow for a "cleaner" look.

XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application
Note: When modifying Rosie.apk with MetaMorph any of your existing widgets on all of your screens will likely get reset and need to be re-added.
Also, for some reason on the EVO, Rosie does not appear to like to be edited via MetaMorph, and as such, after applying the MetaMorph, you phone may freeze, requiring a battery pull or issuing a reboot via adb. All will apply fine after reboot.
As an alternative, you can pull the 'resources.arsc' file out of the linked MetaMorph, and manually insert it into your existing Rosie.apk file, and adb push back to your phone. It is recommended to issue the push during a reboot, or generate an update.zip file to flash via recovery. Pushing via reboot or applying via an update.zip file in recovery will prevent you from having to re-apply any of your widgets. As mentioned above, applying changes to Rosie while the phone is fully booted causes you to have to re-apply any widgets.

Problem is, if you have any other changes to Rosie making it non-stock, a flashable zip will undo those other changes. It's such an easy change, if you want, post up your Rosie.apk file, and I'll modify it and create a flashable zip.
Will this myn-WarmTwoPointTwo-09-27-2010-RLS-1 ROM work with this .zip file on recovery clockwork mod flash?
Worked great with Myn
Btw.. thank you OP.

The linked zip file is a MetaMorph. It is not a flashable zip that can be applied via any recovery.

Anyone else notice that this doesn't work with the HTC Sense settings widgets? This removed all the text from my home screen (flashed with Metamorph only lost my widgets not my icons) but the Wifi, GPS, Mobile data, and Ringer Profile all still have text. I assume this is because they are widgets not app icons?
Also oddly enough it un-centered the Phone icon on my Rosie launcher using Virus theme, it is now slightly to the left, doesn't matter at all to me just found it odd.
Again sir, another great MOD. Glad you have an EVO now, I always seem to like your MODs.

That is correct. Any widgets that have text under them are essentially not program shortcuts and would have to be modified directly, as opposed to globally via Rose

That is what I thought for the widgets just wanted to be sure. As for the phone icon mo that was actually me not being observant lol. Turns out it just removed the word "Phone" that was next to the phone icon, I just never noticed the icon was off center till the word was no longer there. This is an awesome mod to bad soon after flashing this I found a really awesome font, one awesome enough for me to want my icon text back lol. I had to flash my Nandroid back up to get the text back. Do you know if there is a way to make a metamorph to bring the text back instead of having to go this route?

Oops, that should not have happened, i.e. remove of the 'Phone' text. That is an accident on my part, as I have it removed, and it is in the same file. I thought I was working off a stock Rosie for this mod, but clearly I was not. Sorry about that. I will modify accordingly.
You can always grab the stock Rosie.apk out of the ROM zip file you originally downloaded and just push it back to your phone to undo this change.
So with this mod taking away the texts, is it possible to manipulate the size of the icons as well??

[App] Inverted (white text/black background) Htc Messaging Application - Mms.apk

Okay guys, at the suggestion/request of Konikub, who was told this couldn't be done, I, "Team LoneWolf" , decided to crack open the stock HTC Messaging application (Mms.apk), in order to investigate the possibility of inverting / applying a "dark theme" to the application.
It seems this has not been done before, and upon initial investigation, I can see why. Many of the HTC Sense applications share common resources (themes, styles, icons, etc), stored in com.htc.resources.apk. So, if you attempt to modify something used by Mms.apk, but stored in com.htc.resources.apk, you are going to unwittingly modify the appearance of other applications, and if other corresponding elements are not adjusted in those applications as well, you are going to have problems.
So, things that are "challenging" are the things I like to try and tackle, and inverting this application was a tough cookie, requiring extensive edits, in some cases to "undo" references to items stored / defined in com.htc.resources.apk, and rather, make them stand alone directly within Mms.apk. This required major edits to XML, Styles, Colors, local .pngs, and Smali/Java code. You wouldn't think simply themeing an app would require all of this, but Mms.apk did.
Essentially, what this mod has done, for the most part, is flip most text that was black, and made it white, and most backgrounds that were white, and made them black (inverted), giving you a bit more visual interest, as opposed to the stock "white" look.
For those running a dark theme on their phone, who prefer to use the stock messaging app (I use Handcent, lol), this should fit the bill nicely. Again, thanks to Koni-man for the "nudge" / "coaxing" to take a look at this.

Flash the attached (HtcMms.zip) via recovery. Also, let me know if I missed anything. It is certainly possible, as there are so many menu options / tasks that can be done, that I may have overlooked.
EDIT: MetaMorphs attachments added (morph_*.zip), to modify the default 'tap to compose' area from gray (shown in screen caps above), to black (screen capture), and another to return the application icon in the app drawer to stock color. DO NOT ATTEMPT to flash these. They must be applied using MetaMorph, AFTER you FIRST flash from recovery the original mod (HtcMms.zip). After applying using MetaMorph, you will need to, at a minimum, issue a Hot Restart, for the application to re-appear in the app drawer. It will disappear after applying the MetaMorph, and re-appear after a restart.

Indeed, he's a good guy. Honestly, if someone else came to me for help on this one, especially since I use Handcent (currently, I may switch now too!), I probably would have ignored the request. But, I always like to help Koni out when possible .
Very sweet I am downloading now
Might you be able to customie other apps like this? Like making the stock HTC music app and People app all black. That would make Sense even more epic.

Probably. It's just a matter of investing/finding the time to do so. Things like this can take many hours/days to pull off...

Just flashed I like but needs a few details.
1. It changes the message icon at the top notification bar default.
2. Make the "Tap to Compose" section black with white like the rest.
3. Make the main message icon default color not blacked out.
Other than that very good work!!

Lol, I made it they way you described, since that's how I like it. If you have other preferences, have at it ;-) Those are simple personal preference tweaks.

Wow, JS. Nice. I want to use this, but question. Does this include any of the mods that were put into it from Calkulin. More specifically, the compression fix and 5MB limit fix. It's fine if it doesn't. They're just good to have.

I modded this from a stock Mms.apk. I'm not familiar with the details of the mods Calkulin did, but I assumed they were to the framework, as opposed directly to the .apk. I'll have to look, as, honestly, until now, I've never really used the HTC Messaging app.
BTW, I'll probably knock out a few MetaMorphs shortly, with some "other" preferences, such as the mentioned black "tap to compose" area. I did it that way initially, but didn't like it. It looked like too much black to me and made it hard to differentiate the compose versus non-compose areas. I'll probably also do a MM to restore the stock application icon. I wanted to darken it to denote it is a changed / darkened version of the app.
Thanks been wanting this for a while. I knew you was going to give us something cool you was too quiet.
You are the man.

Okay, FYI, I've attached 2 MetaMorphs to the end of the OP based on preference.
The first MetaMorph will change the "tap to compose" area from the modded gray in the OP, to black for those who prefer it, as shown below:
The second MetaMorph simply returns the application icon in the app drawer to stock white.
Note, after applying using MetaMorph, you will need to, at a minimum, issue a Hot Restart, for the application to re-appear in the app drawer. It will disappear after applying the MetaMorph, and re-appear after a restart.

After just getting around to installing your rotary unlock mod, I am loving this!
Only problem is I can't install it. I go into the recovery menu, choose install from zip and then confirm, I get an error.
Installing update...
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and updater-binary) to create working update .zip packages.
Any ideas why I get this error? I haven't changed anything since I installed the rotary lockscreen. Maybe switching to Amon recovery?

Messaging app doesn't show unread count

I just got my Verizon HTC One M8, and I noticed the messaging icon on my home screen doesn't show an unread count. The mail icon does, and the messaging icon on my DNA (running Sense 5.5) did too. Is this normal behavior, or has something gone wrong? Thanks!
I don't think there is an unread counter for messages, you could always use a custom launcher like nova and get them though
That's weird that they would remove that since it was in the last version of Sense! Also, the mail icon shows unread emails too! SMH!

Try removing messages from your dock and re adding it. You should have the bubbles unless you are on a custom rom with them broken.

I tried removing and re-adding the icon and it didn't work. I'm on the stock Rom, s-off, unlocked and rooted. I thought I was crazy, so I looked at my wife's DNA and she definitely gets the little green bubble with the unread message count. Just to be sure, you're verifying that you have an M8 and that you get the unread count on your messaging icon? Thanks!

No didn't touch VVM, just froze Verizon bloat like VZ Navigator, VZ Cloud, VZ Tones, etc. Nothing that should effect messages.
I'm actually surprised to see you have the unread notification! I just spent an hour Googling around, and I see a few people saying that they only get the notification on the email app.
The guy I work with has a One M8 as well, and he has the unread messages notification bubble!! I tried unfreezing the stuff I had frozen, and that didn't work. I changed my theme back to the default theme, didn't work either! Anyone have any other ideas that I should try? Thanks!!

Unfreeze until they return. Bet it's tied to Verizon visual voicemail.
I found out that the culprit was the extended power saver mod. It replaces the Messages.apk with one that is compatible with the mod, and then you lose the notification bubble. I replaced the APK with my original Messages.apk and the bubble returned but now I can't launch messages from the extended power saver launcher.

So here's the thing.... that's probably an international phone based mod you flashed. The extended power option mod can be done and bubbles still be present. The intl phones don't have vvm... and even just swapping their MMS app for ours ends with missing bubbles on our (VZW) phones.

According to another post I saw, you are correct. An XML file can be edited as well as a smali file, and then you get both the extreme power saver setting as well as the notification bubble. I just wish someone would put them both together and release it!!

Awesome!! I can now launch messages while in extreme power saver mode! Let me ask you this...I reverted my messages.apk back to the original version to get the notification bubble back, which broke the ability to launch it during extreme power saver mode. Your apk fixed my ability to launch messages, and I still have the bubble! However, I just noticed that MMS is limited to 300K. Is that because of the messages.apk I'm using? Can I go back to the messages.apk included with the extreme power saver mod and still keep the notification bubble? And will my max MMS size go back to 1200K? Thanks a bunch man, I really appreciate your work and your help!!

It is not because of the messages.apk file. Your /system/customize/MMS/default.xml got tampered with the mod that you flashed. You need to re-flash the current rom your on again or if you made a restore?

Question Galaxy Themes Issue

Am unable apply themes properly to all the native applications from Themes store. When i apply any theme, it themes only few icons n change homescreen wallpaper but doesn't theme phone app, contacts app, quick settings tiles, messages, settings menu etc.. I have tried every possible way to troubleshoot this without any success. Done cache clearance, signed out from Samsung account and signed in again, switched off n restarted, reset app preference, applied default theme then again applied downloaded theme etc... Tried both with Stock home launcher and Nova launcher.. Any solution for this..?
Try clearing system cache. Try safe mode.
If that fails, Factory reset. After reset load/update nothing.
Try one of the native high contrast themes if present to test it. Then allow Samsung system apps to update, try again.
If it continues misbehave after reload the firmware may be corrupted or a possible mobo failure, have it reflash or return it.
This is not normal. Usually it's caused by a 3rd party app. Malware is also to be considered.
Do Not use SmartSwitch to restore anything as it can cause all kinds of wonderful issues.
Tried cache clearing and factory reset also..
But i do indeed used smart switch for restoring my messages (pc application)..
will that really could have caused the problem..?
p.s: i have applied native high contrast theme from settings and it did changed the colors of contacts and keyboard..

Oh yeah it can... SmartSwitch can work perfectly or fail you miserably with all data lost. Unpredictable... beware.
NEVER rely on SmartSwitch to backup critical data. When going between different models is when it's most likely to fail.
The high contrast themes are actually some of the best. Pick theme>pick icon pack>load your custom wallpaper, modify with the Goodlock family of apps.
I keep a screen shot of my favorite icon pack page to help with a reload if needed.
SmartSwitch can normally be used to backup homepage settings on the same model but another reload will be needed if something goofs up. A good load can last for years if not upgraded, it's worth doing it right the first time.
My stock N10+/Pie setup, this load will be 2yo in June:

If it works in safe mode a third party app is most likely the cause. Uninstalling may fix it unless it's poorly written and permanently alters hidden user settings during uninstall.
See if you can find it. Trashware apps like FB, WhatsApp, social apps etc should never be loaded as they are malware by design and purpose.
If worse comes to worst, factory reset and be careful what you install. Do not use SmartSwitch this time.

That's a glitch with the firmware. Never saw anything like that on my N10+'s running on 9 and 10.

Ok, what happens with dark mode on when you connect a call on the phone with the high contrast theme? Maybe you're expecting too much? Show some screenshots.
For the most part my N10+ looks like it's running on Kitkat when dark mode is enabled.
Themes change the keyboard, text messages and phone/contacts colors and layout. Since I always set my own wallpaper I never pay any attention to that in themes.
I'd test it but I have to do quit a bit to do so.
This what it look like in Pie...
Many of the themes may be incompatible with 12 unless they were updated. That may be the actual issue.
