Know how to flash or replace files
What's Themed:
System Background and Permission Icons (framework-res.apk)
System Icons - Notification and etc (SystemUi.apk)
Contacts (Phonebook.apk)
Dialer (SemcPhone.apk)
System Settings (Settings.apk)
Clock\Alarm\Timers (SemcClock.apk)

Misc Apks (HotspotAdvancedSettings.apk, LocationBasedWifi.apk, ReadyToRun.apk)
Features:
Dark (but not pure black) themed apps for more comfortable usage.
I find that pure black apps put more strain on eyes than dark grey. Perhaps caused by high white\black contrast.
Dark holo background.
I really liked holo background, even if it has some color banding. Imho looks much better than plain black\grey image.
Based on Z1 Compact apk's.
I.e. apk utilises icons and images native for our xdpi resolution.
All themed apk's are up to date.
If not, please, PM me
No tabs in Notifications.
Just because =)
ZipAligned.
Works both on Odex and Deodex.

Yeah, I'm that nice ^_^Screenshots:

Plz, report if you encounter any unthemed icons in themed apps and\or problems with installation.Credits:
@XperienceD: For the topic template and consultations. Thx mate! :good:
Fixed Download link.
just flashed, tried all the features and they're working great
just two things
1. on the recent apps launcher, there are small white borders around each of the small app icons that are superfluous (would look better if they weren't there)
2. i used to have a system UI mod that allowed 6 icons (without text) on the notification panel which i prefer. reflashed it over your mod and managed to get it back
Works very nice, much thanks. Any chance you can change the messaging app to black as well?
This looks great and I'd really love to try it. But dev-host is always slow AF for me. This is a big problem for me when I try to download "large" files. Getting like 5KB/s download. Would take hours to get the file. Would appreciate a mirror.
Removed link as requested.

Hm... I prefer it that way But I can give you the version w\o borders, since it's requires only one line to be changed.

Yea, any mods that were applied to any of the themed apk's will be lost, such as additional menus in Settings or full-screen CallerId. Nothing I can do, that's the way world works :\

Well, I'm not using default SMS app, but, for the completeness sake, I guess I can darken it as well
No ETA though, as I'm busy with work... and planning for upcoming Japan trip ^_^

You can also find at the link black Conversations.apk, DocumentsUI.apk and SemcEmail.apk from this thread [MOD] Z1C.108 black UI V2.0 (31.8.2014). I just copied them to system/app and system/priv-app and set proper permissions, rebooted and wiped cache and dalvik.

Actually, one of the reasons that I've decided to make my mod was that "[MOD] Z1C.108 black UI V2.0 (31.8.2014)" is based on Z1 (not Z1 Compact) apps, so it doesn't have all the proper xdpi icons and images, as Z1 is a xxdpi device. Not that I do not appreciate work @laginoo has done. :good:
thank you ... no border version of the recent apps launcher would be great, as would the Documents/Downloads UI
there were also some other (but less commonly used) menu items that still appear white: sub-menus in Personalization, Ringtone/Notification sound selector, Complete Action with dialog, etc. and if you had time to spare it'd be great if you could darken these as well!
thanks for all your efforts!

Fixed Notes in AROMA Installer.
Having some issues with dialer/contacts (I think) but don't know if it's from your theme or some other modifications I did. There is no dial button in portrait mode, only in landscape. Are you having this issue as well?
Edit: Also white version (I believe these are the original ones) gives error while trying to flash in both TWRP and CWM. I also tried downloading again with no luck.
Had the same issue, navigation bar disappeared after proper installation. Had to back up data

Hmm... Did you install framework-res.apk from my mod?
Hi! Yes I selected "all files" at each step of the installation. I just retried, still no nav bar nor status. Strange. I use Gravity Box, Gem Xperia and Xperia xposed ! Might interfere ?
D5503 UB jfxperias' KitSlim_AMG
To make it clear is navbar those softkeys with back, home and recent? If yes I'm not complaining about those. I hid those on purpose and I'm using gestures. I'm taking about the green phone icon not present in portrait mode, that's my problem.
Edit: OK so my problem was exactly from hiding softkeys and not from your mod. Once I enabled them back phone icon is visible again in portrait mode.
unable to sideload apk
after installing v2 of this mod, I've not been able to sideload apk files. the usual "install" dialog appears, but after clicking "install" I get an error message saying my file manager cannot open the file
i've tried this with different file managers, same problem. anyone else experiencing this issue?
Yes ! I have also the bug when trying to install an apk with a file manager ... problem could be on PackageInstaller.apk ... i' m downloading the white restore package (should be stock) and will try to flash only this apk ...
If not working will restore my cwm backup and will try to replace apk with stock ..
Give u report after... :highfive:

think you may be right (about the fact that is is packageinstaller.apk) ... let me know how your workaround goes
i am still able to install apks via terminal and adb, just not via file manager. other sideloading attempts, e.g. via the Xposed client also don't work after installing this mod

After test :
Using white apk restore doesnt fix the problem, so i' ve restored my backup
After this i reflashed dark app v2 fix without selecting package installer in second screen and the problem is gone, i can install any apk using file manager again ...Also xposed works again for installing ....
So @TheQwertiest i think you have a bug in package installer apk
Thanks for you work
Hope you will find a fix ...(not really important for my personnal usage)

I'm so sorry guys!!! I know what the problem is with package installer - PackageInstaller.odex file is missing. Also there is a typo in restore package, so it won't even start flashing.
I want to fix it as fast as I can, but I'm in Japan currently without my PC, so can't do anything till I return...
I will roll the fix as soon as I return (around 8th November).
Sorry again and thx for those bug reports!
None or few of this work is mine, i am just collecting all apps/themes/tweaks to make stock-based roms look more like Android L and have more features of Android L.
Root needed for maximum numbers of apps.
1. First of all, edit build.prop, find "ro.build.type=user" and change it to "ro.build.type=userdebug" (use es file explorer or any build.prop editor)
OR
Flash already edited build.prop flashable zip in recovery. Download from here
2. Reboot
3. Download calender, books2, drive, keep2 from here (other apps not tested but working links for them are below):
4. Uninstall old Exchange services (use any app like titanium backup) then install Email, exchange services, fit, from here
5. Play services (download from play store) or from here:
6. Search and launcher from here
7. Messenger from here
8. Play music from here (suggested to update from play store)
9. Uninstall old Gmail from system (use titanium backup or any other app), reboot, then install form here
10. Keyboard 4.0 (read notes on how to install):
apk
lib OR Download this and flash in recovery.
11. Sounds (Flashable zip) from here
12. Fonts (Flashable zip) from here
13. Icons (Flashable zip) from here
14. Bootanimation and Logo (concept) from here (by me)
15. Install Xposed framework from here
16. Download and install Android L theme from here (Thanx Paras Jasal for fixing the theme and uploading and Yogesh Gosavi for re-uploading and providing this link)
17. Download HKThemeManager from Xposed itself and enable it. Reboot.
Apply Android L theme in HKThemeManager and reboot.
Well Nice thread, But How can you differentiate the Android L theme (HKThemeManager) Version with the Android L theme(Xposed Module) - Actually I'm in Confusion which one to Choose ? Your Version of Android L theme is Good but not as fast as Xposed one in my device..
dialer's dialed digits not visible
I apply the android l theme by paras... In dialer when I dial any number using themed dialer the digits are not visible... I think the color of both background and dialed digits are same (white) .. Please fix this by changing the color of dialing digits in theme...
Apart from this awsome job sir... Well done...
Waiting for update...:angel:
