Hey guys,

I'm really sorry I haven't updated this in a while, but in the midst of Android L I kinda forgot about this. Also I had to get a new computer due to my old one having too many issues (not done by me ;) ). Hopefully tomorrow I can update the stock and PA versions back to what they were before. The Saberdroid, Purity, and Omni versions will come as well in the week. Also I'm planning to expand to other devices but I'm not entirely sure yet; lets hope I can.

Once again, I'd like to apoligize for no content for a large amount of time. I feel like I disappointed you guys, but hopefully tomorrow update will make it up for you guys :)

Have a good one! :good:

Any chance of an Android L version? Not loving the green/blue scheme too much... :)

Enjoy! Updated PA to 4.43 (took long because I had to do some prerequisite installs)

Paranoid Android 4.43 (updated 16th July):

Sorry man, I don't think I'm going to touch L at the preview state. Plus I doubt this mod will last into L because of Google moving in to different colours in all apps, but we'll wait and see ;)

P.S. Stock Update coming tomorrow. Rest of the other ROMs will follow the days.

Fair enough, I just wish that there was some way to replace all the residual Holo blue with the new Material Design Teal or the Brighter Blue they're using in the dialer and some of the text fields, IMO it looks a lot better, but there are some places in the UI that Google just hasn't updated yet. Maybe consider it as a side project until Google gets their act together and cleans up the remainder of the UI?

It should be much more straightforward swapping the Blue for Teal (or the new brighter blue) than for White since you wouldn't have to worry about it vanishing into the background and stuff.

I have a strong urge to do that, but I feel I might be stealing the spotlight of other people who already made White UI themes, but I might make an APK for all the PA/CM11 users and make ZIPs for the rest of the ROMs.

I might look into the teal.. it does look pretty good but then I'm going to have to change all the white to black which I heard was a troublesome task; I'll see eventually :p :good:

    Installation

    Please do not flash older version ZIPs for newer versions as you will most probably get a greeting of FCs once you boot up.

    For PA: Flash the ZIP AFTER rebooting once flashing ROM/update.

    Other than that, download right version for your ROM and flash in recovery.

    can you do one for stock odexed ?

    I would, but I haven't been able to find a odex script or something similar that actually odexes APKs on the computer itself (many of the ones I found odex the APKs installed on your phone). So I'll keep looking if I find something that odexes on the computer but if you find it before me, please do share :laugh:

    Hi guys!

    Sorry for the wait for Stock ZIPs; I was testing out some different colours for the Dialer but it was taking too long so I'm posting it without the Dialer (so it won't change anything in the dialer).
