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

Do I need to delete SecSettings.odex file as I use odexed rom?(systemui already modifeied,so the odex file removed)

 

[toscha42]

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.

I've just tried and there is no statusbar anymore

 

[toscha42]

There was a small bug in SystemUI.apk, I've attached the correct one in my posting above. And don't forget to reboot after copy.

Hi again, must apologize for my anger, it was because of my lack of reading that caused this problem.. I am on base MDE !!

any suggestions on how I can recover?

 

[leachimus]

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.

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

 

[DocRambone]

Op, use the zip as container for your theme. Less problems for you

Drop the files into the folders inside the zip, use 7-zip or similar sw.

 

[keygenSVK]

thank you it looks nice btw. which files must be edited in systemui for transparent statusbar ? thanks
