Been using these w/ Apex for a while now. I'm sure they're good for Nova also. I think they are a buck fifty or something like that..........worth it IMO. Cheers!

i use the glass theme

There are so many wow! I like a lot of them, but have refrained from using them on KitKat because I like the Google stock 4.4 look so much. I'll eventually get tired of it and start using icon packs. Here are some I really dig:
- flatastico
- portal
- romow round
- click ui
- miui4
- spectre
- flatro
- tendere
- umbra
- fade
- holo
- banx

I found the theme "Glass Pyramid 3D Icon" recently that I really like.

Nox

I use Stealth personally.

Yep, Stealth is my fave too. The dev has a website where 10 themes works out really cheap
And he updates them regularly.

Omni white theme

I've been using Nameless ROM for the Xperia Z for a while and it has a really nice "white theme". Instead of the stock colours it is more white inspired, maybe the best way to show this is by the dialer screenshot.
Could this maybe become something for the Omni-project?

That's kitkat in general.

It is? Because Omni uses the bluish dialer, and also when downloading apps in Google Play the downloaded data is showed in blue.

Any advise on black.

I'm looking for an app or something that will give me a black theme, icons, most importantly when I open an app (like CNN, PlayStore, etc.) It will have a black background with white text.
I tried using the inversion setting but is then trows off my already black wallpaper to looking white and stuff. I have vision issue which is why I am looking for this.
I am running stock but am rooted. I was Running the carbon rom for this but got tired of installing nightlies for hammerhead. I'm just going to wait until they have a production version.
Thanks in advance,
Angel

Just curious, but is the reason for wanting black everything to try and conserve battery life? Because as far as I know that only works for AMOLED displays.

"I have vision issue"
That's what he said so no its not battery life
To your problem:
Install a Rom with inverted ui like mahdi or slimkat and flash the slim gapps. The alomst everything is a nice dark black

Search black icons in the store, heres one recommendation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.threekzerothree.softinsetroundicons.black
Use slimROM, a lot of people have this thing for black and holo blue and that is what slim uses, and you can enable darkslim or whatever. I think they have a milestone so you can load that and it will be stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-slimkat-hammerhead-t2511512

Go for Mahdi ROM and flash Slim GAPS with it.

Check out team black out. They have flashable zips for tons of apps even for Google now. That way you can keep stock Rom and the okay Google functionality and have blacked out apps. That's what I have, and it's awesome.

Can you link me to the black team?

Nope, that was enough to get it to show up without being burried by 50 trillion shady things lol

BTW if you want a standard rom in black and white with no blue! Try "Elixr" good stock and fully black and white, when you add icons

You already have the Team Blacked Out link so here is a more obscure theming app. This app allows you to override the colors on most Web pages. It works with both browsers and apps that display html pages within the app itself (eg. Flipboard). I use it on both my Nexus 5&10. Read how it works and how to install here:
[HOW-TO] Blacked out theme effect for Web pages (needs root)
A theme able alternative to YouTube which has some additional features is called Viral. Find it on the play store. That app allows no end of UI Color theming.
You can also use the XPosed framework and two modules (Gravity Box and HKTheme Manager) to implement dark themes including Color finer tuning nav and status bars. Here is a dark theme on the playstore which works with HKTheme Manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/theme-black-blue-infinitum-theme-t2597690
Good luck

I like to thank everyone for their suggestions. Based on all the information everyone contributed to this thread I was able to customize my phone to work with the dark themes. Again this was requested because of some vision issues I have and despite one individual who decided to rant off without reading why I requested this, everyone else's suggestions help me set up my phone to work perfectly. Thank you all again.

[MOD] Theme Store- How to keep your stock icons on any theme

*Dont you hate when you like a theme but hate the icons!!! I will give you a simple guide to download the theme you want and keep your stock icons
~Keep your stock icons for any theme~
*ROOTED REQUIRED*
*Please read complete guide*
*Make sure you are not using the theme you are applying this to! Apply a different theme while your editing this file!
1. Using a file explorer, go to data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson and find the theme you want to keep stock icons!
2. Open file and hit the edit button! Look for this line a little ways down:
"appicon":"com.cambunch.ThemeName.appicon",
and delete it! Save file and reboot!
3. Now you can go to theme store and apply that theme and have stock icons
***This should work for any theme in userjson file, just follow same steps and remember to save and reboot before you apply theme!!!
***JUST HIT THANKS IF YOU THINK THIS IS FRICKIN AWESOME***
Screen shots of files and before and after:

Uh oh...Get ready OP...lol

This was more for me to figure out how to keep my stock icons than the free part, i just kinda stumbled upon the free part I dont like most of them and they dont go with all your other app icons lol

You should close this thread. Not a good idea. Paid themes should be paid for. There is a lot of work developers put into their themes

It was edited out.

I was actually just using TitaniumBU to uninstall the separate parts of the theme which works great as well. But, one thing I could not do unless I use your method is get rid of the ugly skinny lockscreen font that is only found in the file path you mention. Finally I can use the blackOn theme without that ugly font as well as getting rid of settings and both input methods to have the stock looking keyboard. I haven't had anything crash on applying themes even with multiple parts of the theme uninstalled or deleted from the file so everyone wanting to modify its safe when doing these deletions.

I just noticed that using icons other then stock icons seem to stay put for me while I'm using nova launcher. Not sure if nova overrides the theme engine or what but it works flawlessly. I mainly just use the themes to get a custom notification panel and dialer since I haven't rooted since upgrading from my N4.

Download the theme, then edit, then reboot. If you apply the theme first before editing & rebooting it won't work. I've had existing downloaded themes that this didn't work for. I had to uninstall, reboot, redownload, edit, reboot, then apply & it worked fine. Works on every theme I've tried & I've tried quite a few.

I could have SWORE I rebooted the first couple times. I may be wrong. Sorry for wasting your time. I did it again. Rebooted now it's working. My mistake might have been that I probably did a hot reboot instead of a full reboot. All is well now. Thanks again!!!

@Goody68
I figured out that, in the same file where you delete the app icon line, you can't actually substitute a theme attribute with one's from another theme. For instance. Here is a screenshots of my current setup. (You should add this to the op and throw a brother a shout out!) Lol ?
Dark night - base theme
Fantasy white - icons (ios icons)
Dark sd - AccuWeather
Screenshots of the lines I changed for reference.

I did the exact same thing with nova and then seeing this thread and downloading 4.0

I can't find any updates on this. I got 4.0 but LG released that video and everything about 5.0 and no one has it. Assuming an ota will come out sooner or later.

We got like 4.9, which rounds up to 5, unless you have something different. There are features missing when compared to LGs official 5.0 video.
What do you see in your home screen selector? Can you add the app tray back.

yea you have to download 4.0 or you only have 5.0 or google now by default I think. Who likes 5.0 anyways *eeek* I got 4.0 right away and life is again good.
