Like it so far, just updated to the newest version. Also love all the added layers. Only suggestion would to be add a new font either in light or dark gray, maybe both. It'd work on most apps that aren't layered.
[Theme] Blacked Out OC7 System Apps [i537] [#whiteuimustdie]
- Thread starter Rick1684
- Start date
Yes Ive been thinking about that. I just like how titanium backup and other apps look with the white text. I could make it any color, you think grey or blue? Also I did the InCallUi last night. So that will be blackedout too. I also through together a layer for chrome. Looks like tbo's chrome basically with the blue accents. Fixed a few things here and there so Ill be putting out a little update soon.
Also can you verify that the fonts worked properly for you. In settings-display-font you should have over 1000 fonts. Was worried about permissions. Thanks for testing.

Note to anyone using poweramp. There is a setting in poweramp. Look and feel-Statusbar/Notification-Invert notifiction colors. Make sure this is unchecked. It comes checked by default.
Note to anyone using this, I am closing in on a final release. I have most all system apps perfected and now am working on the framework. In the end what I will have for you is a completly blacked out rom with an app to change the theme accent to any desired color. Maybe a few other fun mods in the customsettings.apk . The main thing I am working out at the moment is the white on white text issue in some third party apps that are using framework. Whats going to happen is that most third party apps will be stock. Although we can create layers for them. This is the only way to do it properly unfortunately. I love the way some third party apps look with the colors from the framework as they are now but at the same time other apps dont play nice with it. So I thought I would give you guys an update on whats going on and I'll try to get the updated system apps out asap. They are looking sweet. I added back the deskclock and worldviews to the clock package, got the calendar looking professional, and among other things there will be no more layers used in the theme. Just flash and done. Plus Ive also created a bunch of new layers for third party apps like chrome and messenger. They will also use the accent color from the app. So In the end we should have a totally blacked out experience with custom accents.

More and more is getting done. I just got one if the main issues taken care of today. No more high volume warnings and the ugly ass red high volume area. No more blue media slider that cannot be themed normally. Added more sys apps to the theme. Samsung keyboards now themed and looking sweet. Added more themed backgrounds and bubbles to messaging app. Next update will be so much more. I'm putting it together and will have a very nice late christmas present for you sometime 2moro.
Love the theme so far and everything looks great. The only problem I'm having is flash fire being blacked out. I know you mentioned it earlier in the thread but I'm just not understanding the fix. Could you give me a step by step? Also was curious about if there is a dark dialer in the works?
Im uploading a big update now.. I have fixed too much too list including the flashfire issue. Yes there is a dark dialer in the works, but not ready to release it. I need people to test because I dont have service on this phone. If you would like to test for me send me a pm. Please update and let me know if you find any issues. Thanks for the kind words. Hope you like the update its much more polished.

Hey everyone, Just updated the theme. Lots of new themed apps and features. Check out the downloads section for 3minit Battery mod and some other goodies.
Looks like the new gmail update broke my layer. For now just uninstall the update in app info and I will get an updated one out soon.
Just flashed the theme today. I'm having a few issues, but they may my fault. I haven't done any flashing or custom roms since my days with the HTC ONE X. I flashed the theme zip through flash fire and everything looks great. I'll try to play around with font colors to overcome a few contrast issues, but that's personal preference. The only things I'm seeing that look like bugs involve the status bar and notifications. On the status bar, it seems like the icons are too close together and seem out of order. The WiFi logo is partially cut off and the battery percentages sometimes display vertically, making them hard to read. Also, notifications show up in the foreground of what I'm doing and don't go away until swiped, which clears them and I forget I got a message, etc. (if this is the natural behavior of lollipop, ignore it. I just upgraded, still used to 4.3) Have you ever encountered these or should I reflash?
Edit: the crowding issue only occurs when I have nfc, bluetooth, wifi, battery percent indicator, and the vibrate/silent logo active.
Realized this morning that icon crowding issue is due to the centered clock placement. The status bar icons fall behind the clock on the lock screen, but get pushed right when I unlock. Is there a way to move the clock?
Also, white system fonts are invisible in groupme, xposed installer, and a few various apps. In case I decide to switch back, you don't by chance have a flash able zip of the stock theme, do you?
Thanks man, great work!
One last edit. If you put a number in the dialer and tap menu, contacts force closes. Really digging the theme once I installed fonts to take care of a few app color issues.

Hey no problem I can put up a revert zip. Anyways concerning the problems you mentioned thanks thats what I need people to post. I can fix the text issues and the statusbar issues should be resolved in the next update Ill get it up soon. I am developing a rom for our device tight now and the statusbar may have had one of my mods accidentally included. I will read back through the post and address all the issues. Dont worry big changes are coming. Rom with mods and flashable theme zips. May even have some sickmade themes since Im on his team now. Thanks again for bug reporting.
Edit also the dialer is fixed Ill get it up soon too. Ih and also a custom secsettings with all kinds of hidden options that stock didnot have. Stay tuned..
You, good sir, are the man. I was this close to jumping ship to the Moto X Force, but finally installed the oc7 update and flashed your rom and this phone got new life. Hopefully the replacement batteries I have coming in this week will bring a bit more life back. Thanks for your hard work! Looking forward to trying out your new stuff.
Any way you could put up a revert zip to undo the thence. Many apps I type in....Gmail, Craigslist & even as I type here, the text is white on a white/gray background. I can barely see what I'm typing. Also, I've downloaded the layers & extra toggles but for whatever reason flashfire doesnt find them so I can't install. Thanks.
Ps....I really do le the theme. Just gotta figure out what's going on with my flashfire

Yes I will try to get it out tonight. To be honest I have stopped working on the theme for the moment. I am building a rom for this device. So I will fix it as soon as I get my rom out. I need to find what apps that happens in so your post really helps me out. I dont have issues with any apps I use so I need to see what is being called on by the craiglist app and others you mentioned and change the color values. Also layers are not installed through flashfire. They are installed with an app on the playstore called Layers Manager. That will at least fix your gmail issue for right now. I will get the revert zip started but it will take a while to upload. Thanks for the info.
PS my rom will give you control over the colors in the rom so stay tuned its almost ready. Just adding a few more mods.

Oh i see, thats the old legacy style. Very few apps use that. I mostly see it in games that were developed a while back. I will have to do some searching, I think its using holo resources. Its hard to keep everything in line sometimes. A developer can call on a color or style from litterally anywhere in the framework. So it makes it a pain when inverting things. What app is that? I looked for the craigslist app and there are like 5 so when you have time send me a full name or link. Also any other apps that need work. I will knock them out quick cause I want to include this theme in the rom.
Edit also are you using xposed? If so I can show you how to fix the text with an app for a temporary fix

Anyone who is using this theme: I will be uploading a final update. This update will fix any color or contrast issues you may have. This will be the last update for this thread. I have joined teams with SICKMADE and from here on out hopefully my work will be more professional. After this update if you would still like to follow my work I will post the link to the new rom I have developed for this device. Thank you to everyone who has helped with bug reporting and testing up to this point. I will post a link here to the rom as soon as we get it up. Thanks again.
Hey here is a link to the new rom based off this theme. There are quite a few new mods and color fixes in it. I personally haven't seen any color or contrast issue at all anymore. If you find some just post in that thread and we will get them squared away.
