This is a Aroma Installer Zip that Ive put together. It will Black out various aspects of Ui and apks.
It also includes a few pieces of Candy.Pictures at the bottom of OP.

Ive decided to rebase Theme installation to Aroma for more customization options and Multi base support[GPE| CM | AOSP] ALL in ONE zip.

SUPPORTED BASES/ROMS

- Google Play Edition Base [HTC ONE...etc]

- Stock Google Base | Rom uses Google Apks not AOSP/CM [ N5...etc ]

- CM Base | AOSP
CM Disclaimer
This part of the theme needs to install GoogleDialer.apk via PA module found here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44417509

If you have issues with Dialer after install please refer to thread first to see if issue can be resolved. I just packaged needed apks for dialer to work on STOCK CM 11 not CM variants... But it still should work if its a CM base.You ALSO get Google CallerID... enable it in phone settings. RESULTS MAY VARY IF IT IS NOT A STOCK CM 11. You can also try to preinstall PA Dialer mod make sure it works then flash the theme. I've tested it myself multiple times running Stock CM 11 and works perfect.



Included in Zip


- Initial release DARK Candy V1.0 aroma

- DEODEXED Rom Support

- ODEXED Rom Support

- CM 11 [cyanogen mod] | AOSP Support

- MINIMAL Version for ANY Rom Google or CM | AOSP Base
[ONLY Blacks Out Backgrounds and PopUps NO apk Inversion]

- Blked Out framework and SysUI [Jus Imgs.. It is NOT replacing Apks]

- Blked Out DeskClock.apk

- Blk Chrome Scrubbers

- Inverted LockscreenTargets

- REMOVED UGLY ORANGE ON QUICK TILES WiFi and Signal

- Inverted MMS apk base @rdgate

- Inverted GoogleDialer apk base@Thanaya

- Inverted Contacts apk

- Inverted Blk Calculator

- Blk Toast Pop up

- new Clear All icon

- Custom LockRing Options
Much more to come...

- Custom Glow Dots Options

- Much more to come ...

BUGS

- It is probaly NOT ART compatible
Return to Dalvik and theme will be fine. ART is OK if you choose MINIMAL. Since there is no apk swap.

- If you flash Cm version do Not flash this after clean install... Set up device then flash Theme.

- Contact.apk will FC when adding info to birthday field... Working on fix.
Work Around
- Add Birthday fields before flashing theme...sync Google contacts then flash theme.
- Add Bday on other device (tablet..etc) sync contacts...Info will show in themed app.
- Added goto Google.contacts.com and edit Bday then sync conatacts

That's it...


Installation

Jus flash in recovery and PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DETAIL in Installation Process


Current Release


DARK Candy V1.0 > http://d-h.st/kkF



Previous Release [VrTheme installation version]


Dark Candy V5 Google Edition> http://d-h.st/ant




IN THE CASE U DONT LIKE IT

PLEASE HAVE/MAKE A BACK UP ... SO U CAN UNDO THEME. . YOU CAN ALSO DIRTY FLASH ROM TO UNDO THEME IF U HAVE THAT OPTION.

I suggest DL Team Black Out Apps for full Blk Out experience.


I also want to post a HangOuts.apk that goes perfect with theme.
Didn't want to include it. In case there were to many updates. So I'll post it here. This is not my work. Themer would rather not be mentioned. But all thanks to him for letting me share this.

Installation

Jus flash in recovery

Drk HangOuts 2.0.217

http://d-h.st/zsL

For SoftKeys in pics or any custom key go to the Candy Shop of ur device and install any soft key set over theme that u like.

Looks really cool. Will try out soon. Also, in the screenshot, the holo blue in settings has been replaced by the Kit Kat light holo. So, I'm assuming you at least tried to remove as much of the holo blue as possible, right?

Thanks in advance.

This guy has always done beautiful work and has worked tirelessly to figure out how to solve whatever strange request I manage to throw at him. I'd gladly vouch for the quality of Matthews work anytime, as a dark theme/inverted user from way back in the day.

Wow! I really love this theme! I mean you did a great job with it! Implementing the Holo Light and all... Fantastic job!

But may I request a theme for the Google keyboard? That would be awesome :D

EDIT: I'm getting a Contacts and Kik F.C., and Google sync has some problems... Hold on, I think I know a fix...

Thanks in advance

OK got it. The problem was I was moving from Sense to GE, so I wiped Data then installed the GE ROM with the theme.

Solution: Wipe data and system, re- install ROM and extras --__WITHOUT THEME--__, reboot to system, complete the set up wizard, then AFTER your apps and stuff are set up, you can install the theme.

Boom.

Figured I would come over here and show some support. Also give a big thank you to op. We really need some more themers getting involved like this. As a quick note you do not have to be de-odexed. That's one of those old myths that people can't seem to shake. Themes even when they contain apps with a classes .dex will not have any effect on the odex file at all. If you are not making smali adjustments you can simply delete the classes.dex from the apk. If you are making smali adjustments you can simply leave the classes.dex and add a delete line to your updater to delete the apps odex. Also.... I can teach you how to odex single files if you want to get real proper. I only get into this because I prefer my ROMs be odexed..... The gpe will be odexed in the very near future.
