Hey I was just wondering if its possible for users to theme cm7? I like the speed of it however I miss the transparency of the notification pull down and the dialer and so dark and ugly. I'm just wondering if it is possible and if so do you see a lot of users contributing themes to cm7? Thanks!
Its very possible. Cm7 has built in theme support, just check out the included theme chooser" app. There are many themes on the market and also cyanogenmod forums. They don't all include transparency of course but one which does that I like is cyanbreadx available free on the market.

I just downloaded it! Like it a lot. I had no idea themes would be on the market lol. I figured because it just came out there would have to be theme specific for the Sensation but I guess since CM7 is relatively the same on every phone they can just have themes that work for cm7 and not the phone specific. Any other good ones??

You just made me so happy. I was disappointed that the standard CM7 theme didn't have the CM light blue color replacing the green for the phone/messaging icons as well as the battery/data/wifi signal in the status bar but thanks to your post I just looked at the theme chooser app and found the "cyanbread" theme that had exactly what I was looking for.

I'm using mau5 at the moment. No transparency but it kind of turns me on. There are a load and tried quite a few a while back but I'm very happy with mau5 and cyanbreadx myself. Check the market for "cyanogenmod" or "cm7" and try a few yourself. Its a mater if personal tastes really.

I personally prefer the circlesmod's, they are all the theme i need
I have a link to a mod thread of mine in my signature, I'll be dablling in themechooser themes here soon... including adw themes, iconpacks etc... I'm JUST getting started creating things for the phone, I'm good with psp, just gotta figure out formatting for our resolution. Enjoy themeing!
Guys, I'm tired of all this...black on ICS...is there a white/cyan theme, maybe for aokp/cm9? look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZh9krcasoY&feature=player_embedded at 2.26m...a white ics would be great!!
same icons, same cyan, black texts and white background...
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654546 but doesn't work....(is for gnex!)...
The closest I can think of is Ghost:

Remember it's still early days for CM9 themes, and I know that at least 2 white styled themes are in production.
Be sure to look at the Sticky thread in the Android Theme section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26564871
(Over 200 themes and counting.)
And this awesome Mod is re-launching soon too, but with a possibility of it being merged into CM9 framework:**

**Not compatible with the latest builds at present.
There's exciting times ahead for CM/AOKP.

Edit: Disregard, a big percentage of the U.I is Grey, so I'm unsure if you'll like it.
Still a superb theme though, I love it.

good! good...but not enough close XD...I will use it on my orange theme
i too would like to see this...
now I'm trying to change the font colors...coupled with a white statusbar and a white wallpaper would be great...

I'm too fed up with all the black. I want a classy white/gray theme with hints of darker gray. All the android themes are either ricer, black or something that I can only call a rape of my eyes.
I have yet to find a gentle minimalist theme for android. MIUI is the only thing that comes close, but MIUI OS just doesn't cut it......

So do I, it's awesome
I've played with this theme a couple of times. I find it hilarious, but as with TW itself, it feels too busy to me, I keep finding myself reverting to the CM 10.2 System theme
I agree

By the way, there's a new TouchWiz theme by thomassafca based on the Galaxy S5 now, and a newly-released LG G3 theme I adore but have yet to wait for a CM11 stable version so I can enjoy it without a hitch.
If you (like me,) enjoy Thomas' themes, feel free to type "pub:thomassafca" (without quotes) in any play store search bar to see his full lineup. I personally bought several of them.
They are very convincing and often he is welcome to feedback via his email. Touchwiz is rather busy, but I enjoy LG G2 better because in CM 10.2, you can tell based on signal color whether or not the Wi-Fi AP connected has an internet connection, just like the system theme. Neat, huh? Tell me what you think.
You can theme your Galaxy system with this awesome app it also themes some apps like Youtube, Whatsapp, Play Store, etc etc
Supported devices: Galaxy Note / S / J / C / A series ''Nougat, Oreo''
Just try it out here on the Play Store
NO ROOT NEEDED!
Lets support these awesome guys!!
Can u post screenshots? Tks
Its an excellent app for theming, finally i am able to make my phone look the way i want.

Its the same theming app i posted hehe
Thanks for the post. I'm giving the app a go, and so far, it works well. I have a question regarding app elements, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips. I'm going with a black theme, and when I apply it, there are a few elements in a couple of apps that are turning out all black. One is calculator. The numbers are fine, but the symbol keys are all blacked out, making them invisible. The second is dialer. Everything looks alright, except for the FAB for the number pad. It's all black.
For primary color, I used #000000, and for accent, I used #ffffff. Am I doing this right?
Thanks for any help.
EDIT: Figured it out. I had to change the primary color from black to something else.
Thanks for the post. I have been looking at a way to theme it more than just Samsung Themes let's you and I have been trying to get fonts and this does it all! J know substraum could to but I always had bad luck with it. We will see how stable this is but I feel like it is going to be just fine. I even decided to do the donate version to support the developers. Thanks again
Uuhh... You guys all know about substratum right?

Because many of you are acting like theming outside if Samsung themes is some new things, and that this mediocre app is somehow amazing?
Just saying,the theme isn't even compatible between the two

Substratum SUCKS. When I used it on Nougat it drained the **** outta my battery. Now that it's on Oreo, they made a new app "Andromeda" and wanna charge people $$$ again just for an update. RIDICULOUS TRASH!

In trying to use Substranium on Oreo and isn't working very well. Disappointed for sure. Hopefully the $2 I spent will fix the bugs
Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk
The only reason I chose to go with this app as opposed to Substratum is because the bar for entry with this app is really low, comparatively. I have an S8 Active which is not rooted (nor am I planning to root). This means I have to download Andromeda ($2) and the desktop script in order to get Substratum to work. And I have no guarantee that it will work well. I have to pay $2 to find out, and then request a refund if it doesn't. With this app, I download one app, no additional app(s) to install, and no desktop script to run after every reboot. Plus, I don't have to deal with paying, only to request a refund later if things don't work out.
It may not be as pretty, but it's functional for my needs.
After oreo substratum and andromeda aren't working on my note 8 so I tried this app again after months of not using it. Its come a long way. I freaking love being able to do ANY color notifications I want with ANY color text! I don't think people realize what this app can do now. I see people that basically just want black notifications with white text so it can be easily read. In my opinion it blows substratum out of the water even when I did have it working on nougat. This may be my favorite app ever.
So this is just a Trial app and you have to pay to unlock all features? And I think its not fully compatible with OREO yet.

Oreo compatible. Is not a trial, it has features that require a donation but it's functional without those couple of options. Also it s a trail breaker built in. So themes will stick without messing with disabling anything.

Whats the problem? Why dont you use substratum and pay for something thats not even supported in the future? Just saying let us have fun with it
Substratum can't do notifications like this that I know of. That's the main reason this app gets me. Notifications anyway you want them. Not just black or white.

See, if you had the first clue what you were taking about, or even a general idea how any of this worked, you would realize how misinformed and silly you sound.
First of all, substratum did not "drain the **** out of" your battery. That is physically impossible, as there are no running services involved outside of the brief part where you use the app to install the theme. Nothing running means no battery drain. Computers are smart enough to change some colors and shapes on the screen without taxing a 3,000mah battery and an over 1ghz processor. Dont blame substratum because your system was screwed up and needed a factory reset.
Secondly, since you obviously have no clue how any of this works im in a good mood today so I'll explain it to you. Forgive the length, but there is a lot that appatrently needs explaining lol.
First, substratum isn't "charging people for an update." samsung oreo has a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT theme engine than samsung nougat. Why is this the case? Because with nougat samsung, in their oh so excellent wisdom completely ripped out and replaced the already existing theme engine in stock android with their own monstrosity. Why they did this is anyone's guess, but the answers definitely wont include words like "compatibility" or "logic", but it broke existing nougat theming. Given that the substratum app is basically a "theme compiler" app that builds layers used by the os, a substratum dev team figured out that they could compile substratum theme manifests into the magic proprietary samsung hybrid-engine tire fire that is the touchwiz nougat theme system. So they did, and it works. It doesn't allow native drop in of any configuration of system themes for aosp to the completely different tw versions, but it works, and works well provided someone has actually designed the theme layers with substratum in mind. At first those were few and far between and i too was frustrated at looking at countless themes on play store that wouldn't work on my phone, but now there are numerous beautiful options for the s8 and s8+. I count 21 different themes installed on my phone now, and i have a lot of them but not all.
After this substratum implemented theming for oreo, for which the entire ecosystem had finally solidified around the aosp theming engined (called OMS). They realized that with an app similar, BUT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO like what they had done for samsung, they could open theming up to all standard oreo devices. So they did, and it works, except for that you have to grant privileges via adb to make changes without root which dont persist across reboot (this would be googles fault), but it allows the entire ecosystem to use native theming, so Yay.
Come several months later, and oreo betas finally appear. As devs look at them to see what changes to sungstratum (the addon for samsung nougat) would be necessary, low and behold they find that samsung has apparently seen the error of their ways and left the oreo OMS theme system (almost) entirely intact! This is great news everyone thinks, because now even one off custom samsung devices can use the same thing everyone else does, and they're well be true interoperability across all of the Google ecosystem. Sounds great right? Except a handful of over opinionated under informed samsung users see this as not not upporting the substratum theme app on oreo, despite the fact that 1) absolutely zero off the code was compatible, 2) they already have an app on the play store that everyone else uses, so keeping a separate one made literally no sense, and 3) it was SAMSUNG who is responsible for all of this!
So if you want to be mad at someone, be mad at samsung. They are the ones who changed everything and screwed everyone using theming not their own.
Ot, yoy can not be angry for having to spend a whole $2 on the Andromeda app because you CHOOSE not to root (you don't need Andromeda if you have root access) and appreciate the fact that leas than a cup of coffee or less than your weekly allowance you can have a vast array of gorgeous themes to use on your $800 oreo device that you can use without theme killer hacks, or dealing with knox. Or, you can just do a little reading about the systems you have such underinformed opinions on, root your device and get this for free as well as a ton of other awrsome possibilities. When youve done a little homework and are to root, do a xda search for my nick with "rom" on the end to get started ?️.
Hi guys
I want to change the theme/icons on my OP6 because I don't like the "Light/Dark" Theme that much.
So where do i get a hold of a theme? On my old Honor 7 it was pretty easy, but cant find anything for this.
So please help me find a theme or point me in the right direction of awesome themes (Neon/Synthwave like )
Substratum and Andromeda app
To be honest, this is the first time in years I am in a phone where Substratum works. How is it best way to use it? Are there risks, like bootloop etc?
