This is CandyKat. Built straight from SlimRom source with commits from a variety of different Sources/ROMS. We wanted to give the users a fun, fully customizable ROM.We aim to add more features as this project progresses. We have also come up with the Candy Sweetener Pack. This is an Aroma installer that is full of delicious treats. Inspired by the CandyShop thread on XDA it has everything from glow dots to statusbar mods​
.

Welcome to the crazy world of Holo

Are you bored of the white icons but really like Holo colour like me, then this mod is for you. I also have Red and Purple

ScreenShots



Install
Backup with recovery
Flash theme zip
Wipe cache
Reboot

Note, I have used a tweaked version of the slim gapps that you can get here.

Other
This was made with CandyKat in mind but should work for other AOSP roms. The part that might not work is the rom control side of things.

Download
HoloCrazyCK v2.3
RedCrazyCK v2.3
PurpleCrazyCK v2.3
Back To Stock v2.3

I wonder if I missed a step or something...after flashing, it kept telling me that I wasn't rooted, and installing SuperSU failed whether normal or TWRP. I'll have to try it again this morning.

Installed fine here. I even flashed both of the extra candy zips and all is well. Very smooth without a custom kernel. Surprisingly good job dev.

Yep, thank you for that. I was like wait...I do too have root, you liar...anyway, great job so far...no issues now. Going to play with the DPI options in a bit. :)
400 is nice but just trying 380 but only issue is the stock launcher app draw icon isn't centered(380, 400 fine) but Apex is fine.

400 is pretty nice, good suggestion. I was going smaller on Gummy, but that's a nice medium.
