Like to use the default Apollo player in CyanogenMod, or AOKP, but hate the light theme?
Look no further, Apollo Holo Dark is here.





What I have done:
Went through the source code found on GitHub
edited the images,
editing the xml not just for the theme,
rewriting java code (adding new features too),
and built from source.




To install:
Place on sd card
Wipe cache for the Apollo app and force stop it (Not required but can prevent issues with force closes after install)
Uninstall Apollo (Not required but may be needed to install with different apk key error and prevent force closes. If my install doesn't stick on reboot, uninstall the system app)
Install from sd card
Enjoy!
Note: Changing LCD Density values may make the visualizer bars off set when in album or artists tab
If you get force closes after install, fix permissions and then retry. Else provide me with a logcat or reproduction process




Changelog:
v3 pre-release
Update source to new Apollo

v2.5
Pressing hardware menu now opens menu
Removed un imported classes

v2.0
Transparent widgets!
Code cleanup
Removed a random white text background

v1.1
Widgets are less of an eyesore
Search result text is now white

v1.0
Built from jellybean source
merged holo dark changes




Downloads:
v2.5 CM10/AOKP/JB 10/17/2012
Apollo v3 Pre-release (No transparency changing)

WIP:
Crisper looking widget
Semi-transparent widgets in v3
4x4 widget
Debloated Apollo Holo Dark for Skyrocket
More secrets




Would like to say thank you to Andrew Neal for creating this wonderful app and making the source public.
If all goes well with this, I want to start bringing the holo dark theme to more holo light apps.

Not trying to be an ass, but doesn't Apollo support themes? I have a red theme on mine that I got from the play store, and it looks just like yours, only red instead of blue.

Yes but I wanted a unified holo experience with Apollo. The only theme I could find that was close was the sample google music theme.

Dug further into the code, it appears they are wanting to implement scrobbling but it is just not there yet. If the feature isn't complete by time I finish with my likings, I will definitely look into it.

Cool man, thanks. Don't mean to flood your thread with this kind of off topic chatter, but I was curious.

No problem! All feedback is wanted. A new build will be pushed out either later this day or tomorrow. The main feature of the push will be custom global widget transparency.

Did you fork this or just git pull? Access to the source for your tweaks would be awesome (and possibly required if this is GPL. I couldn't find the license terms for the original).

Thanks!

I just did a git pull. Currently, I am working on contacting Andrew to find out how he released it to find out if I can actually put this on the Play store as free with 98% of the credit to him or if I have to stick to direct distribution.

    Nice. Another thing I wasn't too crazy about. (The widget not being transparent)

    Ron,

    To answer you question, Apollo is licensed under the Apache License.
    That being said, I would prefer you stick to side loading because I'm
    working on releasing it into the the Play Store and plan to do so very
    soon. I appreciate you asking first, some people don't and it's
    frustrating to see them given credit for my work.

    About what you're doing, have you considered using CM's theme engine
    to create your themes? Considering you want to give every app the holo
    dark theme, that's what I would look into. Also, you should look into
    using Apollo's theme engine. If you created a holo dark theme for
    Apollo you would also be helping me and Apollo out by providing more
    themes for people. Also, since I've released it for CM, I've changed
    the default theme to more of a holo dark one. I haven't pushed these
    changes yet, but I'm trying to get everything ready to do so very
    soon.

    - Andrew

    So it appears once he releases these changes, I will just need to implement my changes too.

    Juicy new feature coming. Changing the widget theme has been turned into just going from light to dark due to some complications but that is put on the back burner for something semi-special that would remove the need to check here.
