ROM developers already spend enough time to provide a quality product, but not all of us are always 100% happy with the way the ROM looks. Theme developers will make different themes for a particular ROM, but even still not everyone wants every change introduced in the theme. It can be cumbersome for developers and themers alike to thoroughly please each of its followers. That's where I'd like to change the game with the GSIII - rather than having to rely on a themer to make something that looks close to what you'd like, you'll be put in the driver seat and choose your own modifications.

What options are you presented with?
- Battery style
- Clock position and color (stock grey or ics blue)
- Brightness slider (won't work on stock ROMs)
- Placement of the date/clear button bar
- Transparency % of the notification area
- Lidroid toggle style (keep your current or use my slimmed ICS blue ones)
- Number of lidroid toggles shown w/o scrolling
- Text labels or not below those toggles


However, these changes can't be made possible without a little side effect. In this first version, the style of the clock, date, clear button, and toggles use the ICS blue color. In future versions of the theme system, additional styles will be provided!

Installation Instructions
- Flash with your recovery of choice
- On your first round of things, use the "Create master backup" option in the menu. This will create an ultimate restore point of what your phone currently looks like. You will always be able to restore back to this point if you wish!
- Flash the zip again in the same recovery session (I'll make this more streamlined in the next update)
- Theme things as you wish
- Reboot your phone and enjoy :)

Download v2.2

Hit thanks, enjoy the theme edits, and let me know what you'd like in future versions!

Well done! Options are always nice to have! Minor, slightly OCD request. Would it be possible to have the percentage in the honeycomb or circle battery icon be blue to match everything else? Thank you!

Came from MIUI on a Droid X. Had something like this. Could get rid of the battery icon altogether and just show a line across the top (could even pick the color). Does the download currently allow for this?

I'll shoot you a pm with the battery mod to flash later this weekend.

You and me both buddy :] unfortunately not.. that's something that was part of MIUI and maybe CM/AOKP.

This is flashed to the phone?

Correct. Flash it from whichever recovery you use - should work fine on CW or TWRP.

Everyone, once you've tried the thing out and played with it to create maybe 1 or 2 styles, feel free to provide some suggestions of what you'd like for version 2. Unless you guys have some objections, the next thing I'll be working on is a JB styled notification area. Did anybody actually like the TouchWiz style? I found it to be ugly, but if enough people wanted it I'll provide that as another available theme to use in v2.

Awesome ! worked just like it said it would.. The only request I would like to see is the option to be able to add an image as the background to the pull down notification center ....

This is pretty awesome. Only thing I would change is the white background on the installer. It is super bright.....

I would like to see icon packs
Inverted app installer

Anything and every thing you can add that would help NOOBs.

This IMHO is a monster leap for the avg/inexperienced Android modder

I may be interpreting your first post wrong but you plan to allow for color picks or just different theme choices in the future?

And how about lockscreen options?

30% transparent on the statusbar might be the sweet spot for me. Any chance of adding increments of 10, rather than 20?

Really cool idea, I'll give it a try once the color options are there... I love my white theme and don't wanna give it up!!

    Been on a long hiatus with being incredibly busy w/ life, but with a VZW JB leak finally out, I'll be working towards porting this theme system over to JB. In the process I'll be adding many more ideas/options that I originally had. Be on the lookout for something by the weekend's end!

    I have almost everything set up on my phone for Incubus's RLS4 Jelly Bean build, just have to code it in Aroma to give you guys the customization options. Just need to fix the pulldown to look like stock Jelly Bean and things should be finished. It *may* be tricky since Incubus is so fast in upgrading to newer leaks, but I should have a solution to remedy that.

    Haven't forgotten about you guys :]
