Black&White IZS Theme


Whats been modded:
SystemUI.apk
framework-res.apk
lge-res.apk
LGSettings3_1.apk
LGContacts3.apk
LGBrowser.apk


Screenshots:

Uploading




Recommended Settings:

Under Settings/Screen ---> Change font to HYSerif. If you have difficulties to read the texts, increase the font size to "Large".

Under Power Saving Options ---> I recommend to enable show the remaining battery percentage (the one that shows the number aside the icon) and disable the battery level label on top of the icon. However, you can now choose the second option too since I modified the color to be black (over white icon).

6.- Put "lge-res.apk" inside the flashable zip (drag and drop to "framework" folder, back where it was).

The theme is great! But I've found a little bug. When I enter the PIN number, but "*" are white, can you make the background black?

Suggestions:
In the wifi menu (just for an example), the buttons in the bottom (to search wifi) are hard to read;
Colorful icons;
When selecting a menu, the selection bar before entering the menu is to bright;
The little arrows in the network bar (when mobile data is active), they are hard to read, it should be another color

there's no way to revert all if i don't like it?
anyway, thanks for your great job!

Just reinstall IZS without wipe the data.

By the way, I know the theme is "black&white", but it would be nice to have one with some color, some life. Just like samsung galaxy, or something... Now I think it is to0 plain...

Launcher

which launcher were you using when you took the screenshots?
And which is that power widget you're using?

And thanks, the theme looks very nice!

This looks so cool and when you have the time,maybe you might look into CM10/10.1 and create a similar theme?

Yeh I noticed that too =)

Will try to fix it asap. And now that I have to look into the browser, I may theme it too. =)

Edit: by the way, I already fixed the signal arrows on top of wifi/signal icons. Now its holo blue with black shadow.

And also fixed the color of the borderless bottom buttons in some setting screens (like WiFi and Sync) to a darker color. Now the text is completly readable.

Edit2: now you can also select the battery percentage to be on top of the icon. I changed the percentage to be black instead of white so its readable.

Edit3: fixed black on black text on LGBrowser URL box.

New version up.

Solved most of the bugs above mentioned.

Redesigned contact default pictures.

Hope you like the new settings/dialer background. I think its dark enough to read everything. However if someone feels its too much annoying, dont hesitate to say it. I might change the background in the coming days.

Another suggestions :)

1 - The background should be more subtle. In the definitions, with the letters, some parts are a little hard to read...
2 - The active options (that have a "V"), the background is black and the "V" is blue, like the default. But in comparison to the options that aren't active, with the white background, it stands out more the non active option than the active options. I think the background should be switched.
3 - In the notifications bar, when in notifications, the background in the left square (that have the icon), are too bright, the background should be more black, if not really black.
4 - When selection of a menu, right before entering the menu, the color of the selection is a little too bright.
5 - Colorful icons :)

A last suggestion, at least for me, it would be nice to have a theme Black&Blue. It gave more life to the phone.

Overall, that is a great work!

Thanks for new version :)

Arrows on wifi and signal indicators are ok, percentage on battery indicator too.. :) But I don't like the background of dialer, settings menu etc., maybe only black color is better..

But thanks for your great work!

1 - The background should be more subtle. In the definitions, with the letters, some parts are a little hard to read...

Thats right, I modified it to be darker, without white spaces.

2 - The active options (that have a "V"), the background is black and the "V" is blue, like the default. But in comparison to the options that aren't active, with the white background, it stands out more the non active option than the active options. I think the background should be switched.

I redesigned the checkboxes. Hope you like it.


3 - In the notifications bar, when in notifications, the background in the left square (that have the icon), are too bright, the background should be more black, if not really black.

Redesigned to black with thin white separator.


4 - When selection of a menu, right before entering the menu, the color of the selection is a little too bright.

I dont get it. You mean the highlight when pressing a row in settings for example? I feel its quite acceptable. I may modify it in next releases tho =)



Ill make colorful themes in a future. But I just want to make this to my taste, since Im not one of those persons who like colorful UI's. Once I get this theme done, I'll start the colors.

A last suggestion, at least for me, it would be nice to have a theme Black&Blue. It gave more life to the phone.

Overall, that is a great work!

Sure, more themes to come!

Thanks for your time =)


Ill upload the updates tonight or tomorrow morning.

Im sorry but I'm making this theme to my own taste.

You'll have to wait for other themes to see if they fit your taste better =)

Edit: aaand the text box on pin lock screen... its not much of an issue. I mean, Ill eventually fix it, but its just 4 "*"characters what you miss.

I fixed the PIN lock screen issue. It was pretty easy to find the value which stands for the text color.

But, before I upload the last version with the fixes. I also wanted to change the settings header (top grey bar with the settings default icon and "Settings" text) but wtf I keep looking for it and I dont seem to find it. Now Im lost, not sure if its gonna be an xml hex color code, or a small png somewhere under the drawables.

If someone has any idea about where could it be, I'd appretiate the help =)

    I would prefer the stock gallery :) but to give more choices for the users, I would say make a separated flashable.

    Can't wait for this :)
    The new version is almost done.

    It comes with a bunch of new changes, Including relaxed highlight when pressing things (example selecting anything from settings menu), as I think you mentioned quite a while ago, it was way too intense.
    2
    :) ok. Why dialer background cant be black? Please do black.

    Ill put in the OP a simple tutorial about how to put the background you want without having to decompile and compile.

    OP updated with v3 version.

    Quite a few changes there, but I still couldnt find how to solve the bug mentioned a few posts above. In my opìnion its a minor bug, at least for me since I dont really use to specify the kind of the phone number (home, work, mobile, etc...).

    And since my gf is taking most of my summer time, and Im not sure when I'll be able to fix that small bug, here is the new version with some changes which I think made the theme really better.


    Note: for those who didnt read it. The bug comes when creating a new contact, when specifying the kind of the phone or mail address. Its a popup list with white text on white background. Ill try to solve it when I have some spare time.

    Regards everyone =)
