Hi guys. I just got an xa recently and it's a great phone. But i'm having a problem with the themes.
No matter what theme i apply the dialer, contacts, messaging and clock don't change theme. Dialer and messaging stays blue contacts is a pink colour and clock is always green. I've used the stock themes and downloaded a few but nothing changes except lockscreen and wallpaper.
Anyone else have this issue at any time?
Edit: after doing some research it seems they can't be themed.

For one, Sony went with Google apps, and Swiftkey, instead of Xperia apps, for some things, (strange, since Xperia apps are better). Also Sony Theme Creator hasn't been updated to N compatibility yet, (last time I checked), so any STC themes will have a limited effect. Search the cross-device development themes and apps thread...

I'll have a look thanks for the tip. One of my favourite things about Sony was the ability to theme almost all of the ui, and so was a bit disappointed with nougat. Haven't got the hours to spend themeing stuff like I did with older versions or Linux stuff. Must be getting old or lazy or both lol.

I want to implement my icons into a theme, and my questions are:
First question: Does the cm9/aokp (prev cm7 themes) have the capability of theming all application icons, including non-system apps?
Second question: Is there a way to make the theme only apply icons, and nothing else.
My goal is to create a theme that is just icons, due to the limitations of the theme chooser (my understanding is one can only have a single theme applied at once). This way someone could apply my icons, and then install a theme via flashing it, to have the best of both worlds.
Any help would be appreciated, I couldn't find an answer otherwise.

I Googled your question to find out that there's one theme in the play store that is a "cm9/aokp (previously cm7 theme)" they actually say they had to port it to cm9 (read the theme's info on play store), anyway the developer says that the icons come in a separate package -for the moment, IMHO and since these people have promised to have the third party apps in the coming weeks, then it is possible as long as there are people who have already been working on it.
Good luck.
Take a look at the Cobalt, Crimson Cobalt, and Purple Kush themes. They work really well and look good, they also theme 3rd party app icons (I noticed ES file explorer and Google Chrome were themed.) You can look through the apk to see the method of third party theming, i'm sure it isn't too hard with the theme chooser implemented.

Hello everyone!
I am brand new to the android world, so please be patient with me.
I installed Launcher Pro (the free version) on my Chacha, and then bought the Lunar Ui Theme Pack for that launcher.
I went to settings from Launcher Pro and clicked on the Lunar Ui package, restarted and.. voila!
Some icons changed, like the Twitter and Whatsapp icons... but most of them stayed the same!
For example, the phone icon is supposed to be pink and pretty (like shown in the screenshot from the store) but mine looks just plain and boring, like before.
It's weird that some icons changed and some didn't. Did I do something wrong? Is there a way to change the icons manually for each app? Any suggestions?
I am using Super Stock Rom, in case that helps.
Thank you for taking your time for reading this!
I was looking at my phone the other day and though I like the "Droid Blue" color scheme throughout the OS, I thought it might be fun to change it up. Is this possible? Easy, difficult, not at all? Does someone know where to find a procedure to do so? I was thinking of going with a red theme instead, just for something different...
Along the same lines, I read somewhere a while back that it may be possible to change the color scheme on Android 4.4 as an added option by Google within the software - can anyone verify this?
As always, thanks in advance!
4.4 is white and black, thank-goodness they got rid of the blue. Also, you should really take a look at the themes on the Play Store...
Thanks as always for your replies, it's to the point where I await your responses to my posts/questions in the RAZR HD forums
About the themes in the Play Store... Do they typically work with the stock OS / launcher, or do I have to install a different launcher for certain themes I find (as in the Red Light GO Launcher, for the GO Launcher EX app)?
I was also reading recently about the "Themer" (app?) in one of the threads here at XDA - any experience?
Most of the themes require a theme manager. However, you can use Xposed to install themes, if you're rooted. I haven't messed around with Themer or Go Launcher much. Most of the "themes" you can install on a launcher are only icons. The theme manager changes the entire look, just look at some of the themes for CM that are on the Play Store, you'll see what I mean. Xposed has a module that allows you to modify the themes and use them on most ROMs.
As far as I can tell, on my Z3 at least, it means "wallpaper". Nothing else. All the icons look the same on the stock themes, just the wallpaper and perhaps the colour of some text in the settings. What can you actually customise by using a theme? Is there somewhere where there is gathered a bunch of screenshots showing what can be achieved/downloaded?

for included in stock rom, it changes system themes color (base,accent,etc) & wallpaper.
for latest 3rd party (maybe paid themes) they already have covered many ui components for LP.
this for instance

ok, thanks. I looked mainly at stock, and a few third party ones which didn't change all that much.

Those themes were built for KK firmware, not LP, that's why they aren't working like they worked on KK.

The phone has kept all the icons from the theme
Hi, I'm a big fan of Sony Xperia Keyboard port of @bejunk, basically because it uses the SwiftKey prediction engine without all the Microsoft garbage (Alias "analytics"), but this keyboard has a small problem, the customization, the themes seem to be outdated and don't match with the aesthetics of recent versions of Android, it looks like a KitKat app.
After playing a bit with the code, I managed to replace some ugly themes, with more updated ones from other keyboards.
Themes:
-Xperia Blue > Replaced with Gboard Dark theme.
-Xperia Green > Replaced with SwiftKey Dark theme.
-Xperia Classic > Replaced with Gboard White theme.
Themes not touched:
-Xperia Light
-Xperia Pink
-Xperia Purple
(Pink and Purple will be replaced in the future, but for the moment I can't find a theme that convinces me, so I accept suggestions.... )
Notes:
1 - I know, some themes are not 100% identical to the original, but it is the best thing I can do, some parts of the keyboard are hardcoded, but I am currently playing a bit with smali to try to solve some problems.
2 - The apk is signed using my own key, so if you are using the @bejunk port you must uninstall it, and then install my version.
3 - If you want to create your own theme, I have posted the code here, so you'll just have to follow the examples (If you have a compilation error or other problem let me know, I will help you as soon as I can.).
4 - Installation process: As always, twrp, install the zip, reboot, enable the keyboard (Settings/Lang and input/Keyboard) and select your theme.
5 - Here should go the typical message: I'm not responsible for ... blah blah blah, you know.
Big thanks to @bejunk for the initial port, and also for Sony :fingers-crossed:.
Very nice! Thank you!
*Bump*
I hope more people would be aware of this!
Installed on android pie nothing happened anywhere
Thank you so much please add more themes.
Working on my android 10 had to install manually and change permissions, also if you're alive add a black theme.
