Yes SystemUI FCs :( tried with a deodex and it did FC, with odexed it did not.

Also some apps that are listed in the OP appear unthemed (Clock, Camera).

I'd rather wait for the supported version.:highfive: Theme is excellent.
wait till next week mate

can you do the version of your theme for base : XELL5 ?????
Thank's for your beautiful works
not gonna make it for L5 fw mate,next week I will update for XXELLA fw

oke...so i downloaded the theme.. and flashed it on wanam stock deodexed xell5

and its working so far and no fc...still testing

very nice theme !!! going to keep this one

maybe its me...looks like the arrows from wifi and data connection are a bit off like the blue from battery and signal stenght ??

thanks for this wonderfull theme !!!!

thanks,added wanam rom to supported rom list =)
arrows will fix next version

This theme looks fantastic! Really clean look:) I JUST moved to LLA and I immediately regret it now xD

coming to XXELLA next week after I move to XXELLA

A humble request :

Any chance of a flashable mod or addon to have gray statusbar, I prefer it that way to avoid uneven pixels in amoled.

Or some instructions on how to accomplish this please, I'd do it myself . :eek:

Thank you very much!

Issue to report

Hi, me again :)
I noticed an issue in some dialog in some apps, here skype and screenshot ER.
Not sure if that s because of the theme or the ROM? For sure it is the first time I see this.
On the actual phone the YES/NO are actually unreadable. See screenies :)

@ThilinaC

Yea when I flashed it my status bar disappeared. Maybe its because im on the latest firmware at the moment. Everything else was themed but no status bar i just wait until you update. I was just eager to try a new theme cause many of the ones we have are kinda ugly to me.

here's a temporary solution,in zip \vrtheme\system\app\ delete folder SystemUI.apk before flashing if you are on a fw that is released after ELKC fw and it should work fine.But systemui won't be theme'd.Around next week I will release a version for latest LA fw =)

Not a bad theme at all, Nice work..

The toggles look a bit tacky tho in my opinion, everything else is themed very nicely.

I probably would of went with transparent background toggles and just icons themed..

I might give this one a whirl.. Have you thought about supporting JKAY ?

Thank you! :D

We can only assume that it was the reason why the statusbar was changed.

I was referring to uneven degradation of pixels that happens on AMOLED, commonly called screen burn.

Normally AMOLED degrades over time. There are scenarios where some pixels are active all the time and others are not. This happens mostly on the statusbar and on screen nav bar.
That uneven usage over time causes a blueish tint to be visible in those areas where the normally non active pixels are.

The pixels that are not active (black statusbar or navbar) get degraded at a much lower rate than the rest of the screen, looking more bright.
The blue ones particullary since they have a much shorter span than red or green.

Current AMOLED technology seems to be improved from Gnex however screen burn in is still possible as I have witnessed personally on some display units at my carrier.
The status bar and some black text that has been shown for a long time have been discolored at a different rate and they have a faint blue afterimage on the display.

Hope it explains a bit, not really an expert on this but rather a concerned owner. ;)

Also chipping in: +1 if you can add JKay, it would be killer. ;)

    NOTE: If you want to port/use this theme in your own rom/mod I don't have anything against it, but please, before you do that, inform to me first. Second give proper credits for my work in your thread/mod/rom . These type of projects are invested months and hours of hard work & my life , so please respect my decision !

    Introduction,


    This theme is made for anyone who is looking for a more elegant user interface in their Samsung Galaxy S3's & for those who simply don't like Samsung's plastic looking touchwiz ui ;) Theme is inspired by Sony Xperia NXT design & UI !
    For now only support Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 stock deodexed firmwares and any rom based on these firmwares.Maybe in future I will make a theme for cm theme chooser but this is a big maybe since cm is not that stable in S3 yet.

    Over 1000 icons from stock Samsung apps are changed :D lot more is theme'd than what is shown in sshots And this theme @ version 1.00 is still a work in progress,there are more things needs to be theme'd ;)
    What's theme'd in v7 beta



    • Boot Animation from S5
    • Chrome Browser
    • Clock app - Half done atm
    • Framework 100%
    • Job Manager
    • SecGallery2014 - move the apk to system\app from pri-pp folder
    • Google Play
    • Camera App - Half
    • Calculator...


    Screenshots

    APqersv.png



    Instructions



    1. Install the latest Archiport version.
    2. Install a S5 app mod pack.
    3. Move SecGallery2014.apk to system\app from priv-app folder.
    4. Take a cwm backup.
    5. Install the theme & reboot.

    If you don't follow the * steps then it will probably boot loop or the apps won't be themed !


    Downloads & change-logs are in second post



    In the recent months I had lot of exams and my part time job was taking all the time I had so sorry it took long time to update the theme to support latest fw's.I am juggling studies on cima,8 exams before September and job with the university degree.So if you enjoy my work and think I deserve something please consider and add a small donation through paypal :) This will help me with my degree as expenses are very high when u are a student living alone with a odd job :/



    Also I will update the theme and theme each other sammy system apk's left in coming months, but due to exams it will take some time but I will do it :)
