Looks great and runs well. Question though, I seem to have lost the message preview at the top of the phone when a new message comes in.

Any idea how to get that back?

For clarification... I do have these options checked

Mine is set up the same and works fine, the only difference is I have popups enabled. Maybe try clearing data.

Go in messaging hit the menu button then select settings then go to notification and check pop - up display

Nice work man, I'm loving the new look of black on my phone.

I tried then and then went back to stock. When I flashed my backup I forgot to wipe cashe and now the every program stops working. Nothing I'm doing is fixing it. I tried restoring and wiping, nothing is working. The phone is non operational.


Is there anything I can do the fix this?

Very strange issue you are having.

To fix what ever problem it is, just dirty flash your current ROM.

I can almost guarantee it's not the theme, after you get it running again try the theme again and it should be good.

Let us know how you go.

Good Luck.

All is well now. The issue was that my backups were bad. I ended up resetting. I lost nothing aside from some pictures stored on the phone. Lesson learned.

Could these issues be caused by flashing on odex?

^possibly? I was on stock TouchWiz.

DeOdex only, my friend. Though you could try flashing this, and deleting the paired Odex files for the apk replacements, phone, contacts, mms, etc. Look in the zip file under system, not vrtheme. Delete the Odex files associated with those apks.

Any noticeable improvement with battery life?

Any noticeable improvement with battery life?

Have a look at the below...

Objective:

As extensively researched by the community, the use of black backgrounds in OLED (AMOLED and Super AMOLED) devices may lead to a gain up to 20% more battery juice. As related information, you can find some maths here and this xda experiment.

Speaking from my own experience I can't honestly say, I have been using a blacked out theme for so long I can't remember what the battery was like before. There are those that say it works wonders and those that disagree, as with all things. I use it because I like the look. Give it a go and find out yourself, make a backup, flash and test. Plus you can always just dirty flash to wipe the theme if you're not happy. Let us know how it works for you.

Good Luck.

Hi All,

Just a quick note to those that keep up with this thread, as you would have seen I haven't been very active of late.

Unfortunately, at this point in time I am too busy with "real life" to sink time into this project.

I am not abandoning this project, there are many things I have planned and am working on to extend and improve upon this theme. When time permits I will finish what I have started and release a new version.

In the meantime there are plenty of users that have used this theme for a while and can help you with any issues you may have.

If I haven't replied to your quote, mention or PM, I will endeavour to do so in the coming week.

Thanks.

Is it possible to make a theme that does not touch the settings area?

Just flash this theme, and push SecSettings from stock into system, priv-app, or remove same from the zip using 7zip (right click on the filename, navigate to the folder containing the settings app mod, delete from within 7zip, close it up, and flash...save nothing).

You will find traces of the theme in settings even with that removed, however, since framework-res.apk includes much of the settings area that get themed.

It worked! Thanks.

I had to change permissions after I pushed it to priv-app and reboot. Profit.
