[MOD] Elegant White Galaxy S4 Theme [New: White Email]

[Winterlove]

Hey guys,

I like to share with you this S4 theme-mods that I've made for our Note. These mods will give you the Fresh-White feel and look of the S4 theme. I tried my best to make them look the same as the S4 theme in every aspect. Please guys try to report any missing thing that you find (Wrong text, image or anything you find missed) because you'll be helping a lot to make this theme as perfect as it could be:highfive: I can't tell you guys how exhausting this theme was to me but it helped me learn a lot of things about theming that I never knew before. I will be working on more apks and when I finish modding a new apk I will share it with you in this thread!



This Theme Includes:



Post One:


1. White Messaging
2. White SecContacts
3. White FileManager
4. White JobManager
5. White Email (NEW)
6. White DownloadProvider


Post two:



7. White SecPhone
8. White ClockPackage
9. White Settings
10. White Calculator
11. White Multiwindow
12. White Keyboard
13. More to come!:highfive:




Quick Description:

• Apks modded to have white themes like the S4.
• Contains all S4 .pngs and .9.pngs re-sized to fit our Note resolution.
• Contains all (most) S4 color codes and color shades.
• S4 animations, icons, and widget images.
• Changed the Settings of all the modded apks to white like in S4.
• Edited most xmls to look the same as the S4
• More and more repairs, replacements, and patchings!:angel:

But please guys: I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong to your phone. Do it at your own risk.

Update: Added new SecNoteMyFiles.apk to post 1 which includes fixes to the grey text colors. Now the colors are changed to S4 texts. Sorry it was my fault I uploaded the non-final version at first!


Update: New White S4 Email! Hope you'll like!


Update-6-9-2013: Fixed the distorted emergency dialer and emergency text color in SecPhone.apk. Please download the new one!

Please Read: If you want to use any of my mods in you work then please ask for permissions before! And please do not copy and paste the changes that I've done without permissions. I appreciate that guys because it is a respect to others hard word!


I tried to include as many screenshots and illustrations as I could. So by this it would be easier on you to choose weather to move from Stock-Black theme to this White S4 theme!

7. White S4 SecPhone:


Here comes an interesting part! The S4 Phone dialer is almost impossible to port to our Note because the S4 has several .pngs for each dialer button while the Note consists of one dialer background only. So, I decided to make my own S4 Dialer. I used some S4 dialer pngs and then I used Gimp and after hours of work I was able to create a Dialer that looks almost the same as the S4 dialer.:victory:


Note: The dialer is included in SecContacts.apk. So, if you only flashed the SecPhone.apk please flash with it the SecContacts.apk in post 1 because they are interelated.

How to install:

1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SecPhone.apk.
3. Download the .apk and place it in it's correct location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.




Downloads:



SecPhone.apk




Note: If you want the stock -black SecPhone but with S4 Contact Pictures, then I've already done a mod for that. Just follow This Thread.




8. White S4 ClockPackage: (Alarm, Timer, StopWatch...)

How to install:

1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your ClockPackage.apk.
3. Download the flashble.zip based on the location of your apk.
4. Flash through recovery and reboot.




Downloads:

1 For Preload: White S4 ClockPackage-Preload.zip
2.For System/app: White S4 ClockPackage-System.zip





9. White S4 SecSettings:

In this SecSettings, I tried to make it look as much as I could as the S4 Settings. So, as you can notice in the illustrations bellow, I included all S4 Settings icons, .pngs, .9.pngs, and the HD images of the S4. As for the text colors i tried to fix most text colors and change them to the S4 text colors. Also, some Settings are interrelated to other apks that I've made. So, for example, if you want white "Mobile Networks" Settings, then you have to install the white SecPhone.apk above. Another example is that if you want to get white Account and Sync settings in SecContacts, then you have to install the white SecSettings. I believe you got my point!:highfive:

How to install:

1. Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SecSettings.apk.
3. Download the SecSettings.apk and place it in it's respective location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.




Downloads:


If you are on Ultimate Jelly Bean rom v6:

SecSettings.apk


If you are on other roms:

SecSettings.apk (Thanks to Hazem62 for removing the Ultimate Rom addons! Thanks man! )




10. White Calculator:


I tried to make our calculator look as the S4 calculator but unfortunately, the S4 calculator is heavilly decoded. So, I just themed our Note calculator to white and changed the text colors to S4 text colors.

How to install:

1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SecCalculator2.apk.
3. Download the .apk and place it in it's correct location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.




Downloads:



SecCalculator2.apk






11.White S4 Multiwindow:

I already did an S4 White Multiwindow before. Also, I added transparent S4 Multiwindows and Multiwindows with custom text colors. So, if you want the S4 multiwindow, visit This Thread




12. White S4 Keyboard:


The S4 keyboard is different from the Note 2 white keyboard in many aspects. For example, the upper number row is light grey while in the Note 2 it is deep grey. Also, the icons on the keyboard of the S4 are deep grey while on the Note they are deep-blue. So, In this keyboard I made it almost the same as the S4 keyboard and included White keyboard settings and white shadowed text like in the S4 and many other modifications.

How to install:

1.Do a nandroid backup.
2. Check for the location of your SamsungIME.apk.
3. Download the .apk and place it in it's correct location.
4. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.

Well done mate great work. Looks like you have put a lot of time into this. I was actually thinking about doing this myself last night but you have totally saved me the trouble (and many hours of experiments).

Thank you, it looks fantastic :good:

Sorry I forgot to say that you must flash the SecContacts.apk with the SecPhone.apk to get the dialer. So download the SecContacts from post 1 and you'll get the dialer. Please pal could you do me a favor? Please remove the whole quoting of post 2 It takes a lot of space. I appreciate it pal

Hi I'm using sweetrom v10 LT9

This is what is called Symlinking. When the developper of your rom places an app in preload, he must include a "Symlink" in the system/app. So, as bramprasetyo said, the apk that you want is the one with larger size, ussually in preload, and has an Icon.

When connecting to wifi the the bar that lets you know its connected which flashes across screen is dark then somtimes it goes white..

Yes I aslo noticed that sometimes it is dark and sometimes it is white. I noticed that when I am on power-saving mode, the bar appears in black and when I am on low brightness, the bar also appears in black. This may be the explanation! But, for most of the time I find it white! Thanks for reporting pal!
