This is version 0.1 of my theme 'Discreet Blue' for Galaxy S 4 i9505, oriented on original Holo theme. No gorgeous optical effects, a rather pure theme.

Currently based on MDM.


Components themed so far:

- framework-res
Optical elements of UI, like check-boxes, radio-buttons etc.
- SystemUI
Icons in status bar.
Black status bar.
Status bar clock in blue.
- Settings
'Over-colored' icons reduced in color.


Still an early phase but will be updated regularly.

Currently no flashable zip yet, just manually copy and paste.
Downloads:
Copy to: /system/framework: framework-res.apk
Copy to: /system/app: SecSettings.apk
Copy to: /system/app: SystemUI.apk

First copy framework-res.apk, then reboot. Only then also copy both other files, better each by itself.


Cheers
Toscha
Very nice / so much better than that ghastly green :)

I've never deleted .odex before, so shouldn't be necessary. And I'm on stock odexed ROM as well. I guess there's still no de-odexed ROM for i9505 available at all.


Cheers

Hi there, i have to copy and replace the original files directly?

First i have change the name of framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak. This was a mistake. Because I had no way to copy the other file. The system had only further error messages and it dows not start anymore. :laugh:

I have to flash new original MDM ROM with Odin. Now it works again, but i have a little mind. :confused:

I'll wait you have to final a Version to flash over the recovery. I think its better. :D
