News
Guys, GOOD NEWS! Our mate nbeebe24 made a unversal .zip (it's in the download section and has a name "Blue Magic.zip") to use with any ICS ROM! Say thanks to him, he did a good job.
This .zip file is to be applied in Zip Themer app or Metamorph app.
And also, nbeebe24 had a better name for my theme, that he agreed to lend.Thank you, mate.
Introduction
Have you ever wondered why we sometimes meet orange highlight in the latest Android firmware? (previously Honecomb, now we meet it in ICS)
It's when you open an app which works on a device running any android version like ES File Manager, etc. when you long-tap on a file and when you choose an option you have to see ORANGE highlight, while the rest of your phone's theme is blue/light blue/cyan? This kind of crap annoyed me a lot, and nobody ever made a theme that could change it. So I decided to do it by myself.
So, this theme makes your Galaxy Nexus running custom ROM more ICS than even stock one. Google created new theme named "holo", that was implemented in ICS, but kept old theme files in framework so that we could "enjoy" feeling of old android sometimes (in older apps, non-ICS apps, etc.). I don't like seeing design that makes to recall old badly stylized android. I enjoy ICS style.
Sorry for long introduction, so...
Disclaimer
As always, I'm not responsible for such catastrophic situations that actually shouldn't ever happen to your phone as that flashing my theme made your device melt / cough / brick / explode / fly into space / scare your cat / etc.
You are responsible for what you are doing to your device. However, if you need help, don't hesitate to ask for it.
What does the theme change?
Orange highlights, old orange progress bar, orange highlights of text fields in some apps... I annihilated everything orange. What was orange now is in ICS-style.
How to install?
- Download from the downloads section below
- Put on an internal SD card
- Do a nandroid backup (if you want to have a possibility to restore)
Full wipe is NOT required - Flash with CWM Recovery
Note
Many apps use graphic files that are independent from system graphic files, and that means that after flashing my theme you'll meet orange more rarely, but, unfortunately, not never. If app dev decided to put orange in his app, you'll see that orange color.
Screenshots
There are some screenshots from ES File Manager, Twitter and Tapatalk apps.
None of them is optimized for use on ICS, that's why previously we saw old graphics using them. Take a look on the screenshots to see what changes after applying Blue Magic (Full ICS) theme.
