Yes, even external and both doesn't work ..
But my storage are recognized as sdcard0 and sdcard1, is it possible that the issue is in link with it ?

It might be. Check to see if you can use other twrp themes for your devices display size, and if those don't work too, then there is no problem with the theme, it's something with the directory structure I think.

Can any1 else test my ports on this device resolution? (400x800)

  • Fixed bookmark function for "install rom" and "flash zip" pages (MultiROM themes only)

Minor issue with the dark theme: When making a backup, the log prints "Backup completed in X Seconds" in black text, which is hard to read against the dark background.

Looks good to me. What highlight color do you use?

Also, have you tried setting the theme back to defaults?

Same color blue as your screenshot. Also I just observed the black-on-dark with the "restore completed in x seconds".

I'll try resetting to defaults and running a backup later today, will check in with results when I get the chance.

Edit: Oops, I also just noticed that I'm not updated to your latest version, I was running v1 of 281X (720x1280, using a toro Galaxy Nexus). I'll update to v2 before I test any further.

    Q&A

    How to...
    ...install the theme:
    For TWRP 3.0.1 and newer:
    1. Download the theme of your choice and flash it like a flashable zip. TWRP will detect the theme and automatically applies it.
    For TWRP 3.0.0 and older:
    First installation has to be done manually:
    1. Download the theme of your choice and rename it to "ui.zip".
    2. On SD card (if device has internal and external storage, use the internal) open TWRP folder and create a folder called "theme", without capital letters.
    3. Copy ui.zip to theme folder.
    4. Restart to recovery.
    ...change the theme:

    For TWRP 3.0.1 and newer:
    1. Download the theme of your choice and flash it like a flashable zip. TWRP will detect the theme and automatically applies it.
    For TWRP 3.0.0 and older:
    1. In Materialised settings, select CHANGE THEME.
    2. Select the theme zip you want to use.
    3. Confirm the change.
    ...remove the theme:
    1. In Materialised settings, select the delete icon on the app bar.
    2. Confirm the removal.
    Alternatively, delete the ui.zip from /sdcard/TWRP/theme with a file explorer.

    ...change the recovery splash screen
    In order to change the splash, one must unpack the recovery image, replace the splash and then repack the image.
    This can be done using the Android Image Kitchen by @osm0sis, which is available for Windows, Linux and Android (mobile AIK).
    The Materialised theme provides a front end for using the mobile AIK.

    Adapt the splash to match the themes accent color while in recovery:
    1. Download the AIK-Mobile-Installer.
    2. Flash the AIK zip in recovery.
    3. In Materialised settings, select ADAPT SPLASH.
    4. Select the stock TWRP .img file.
    5. Select the style of the splash screen.
    6. Set options:
      • If Automatically install... is unchecked, the repack will only be created and saved to the same folder as the stock TWRP image.
        If checked, the repacked recovery will also be installed on your device.
      • If Include current theme... is checked, the theme in its current state (accent color) will be included in the repack, replacing the stock TWRP ui.
        The ui.zip will automatically be deleted from /sdcard/TWRP/theme, as it is no longer required.
        Be aware that changing the accent color won't be possible with an integrated theme.
        In general, I'd recommend to not include the theme into the repack. By keeping the ui.zip, there's always the stock ui as a fallback option in case there's something wrong with the theme.
    7. Start repacking/flashing with a swipe.
      During the process, Repacking in progress... will be shown.
    Change the splash to a static image while in recovery:
    1. Download the AIK-Mobile-Installer.
    2. Flash the AIK zip in recovery.
    3. In Materialised settings, select CHANGE SPLASH.
    4. Select the stock TWRP .img file.
    5. Select the .png file you want to use as splash screen. Make sure the splash screen you want to use has a resolution of 1080x1920 (regardless your devices native resolution).
    6. Set options:
      • If Automatically install... is unchecked, the repack will only be created and saved to the same folder as the stock TWRP image.
        If checked, the repacked recovery will also be installed on your device.
      • If Include current theme... is checked, the theme in its current state (accent color) will be included in the repack, replacing the stock TWRP ui.
        The ui.zip will automatically be deleted from /sdcard/TWRP/theme, as it is no longer required.

    7. Start repacking/flashing with a swipe.
      During the process, Repacking in progress... will be shown.
    Change the splash to a static image on a Windows PC:
    1. Download and unpack Android Image Kitchen Win32.
    2. Copy the stock TWRP .img file to the Image Kitchen folder.
    3. In windows explorer, drag & drop the recovery image on the "unpackimg.bat".
      Unpacking will create two new folders (ramdisk and split_image).
    4. Rename the splash of your choice to "curtain.png" and drop it into /ramdisk/twres/images.
    5. Hit "repackimg.bat".
      This will create a "image-new.img", which you can then flash away using your preferred method.
    ...install image files while in recovery:
    The theme currently utilises the Flashify script by @osm0sis to install boot, radio and recovery images.
    The script comes with the theme and will automatically be installed to /sdcard/TWRP/flashify if required.
    1. On the Install page, tap on Install Zip.
    2. Select Install Image.
    3. Select the .img file you want to flash.
    4. Select the image type.
      This selection determines the target partition. Make sure not to flash a radio.img to the boot partition...
    5. Start flashing with a swipe.
    ...use the AROMA File Manager:
    AROMA File Manager is not part of the theme.
    The theme just contains a "shortcut" for directly starting AROMA FM, rather than going through the "install > flash zip" procedure.
    1. Download one of these flashable zips (try which version is working on your device).
    2. Flash the zip in recovery.
      This will copy the Aroma FM package to \TWRP\theme\aromafm.
    3. In Materialised settings, tick the option to use Aroma FM.
      From the main menu, the theme will now start Aroma FM instead of the TWRP file manager.
    ...resolve common issues
    When I reboot to recovery, the theme isn't applied. Any ideas?
    This is most likeley due to wrong naming of the theme folder or the ui.zip.
    Make sure the folder is named "theme", without capital letters.
    Also check if you accidentally renamed the downloaded zip to "ui.zip.zip" (common pitfall when renaming the zip in windows explorer).

    When I reboot to recovery, I get a "recovery bootloop". Is my phone broken?
    Nope, this is most likeley due to a bad download.
    Please download the theme again using another browser or app.

    TWRP 3.0 and theme compatibility

    Regarding the upcoming release of TWRP 3.0 and theme compatibility

    In the not so distant future, TWRP will receive a major version bump to 3.0.
    Amongst many other things, the changes will also include a new stock theme. It'll be a blend of the old stock theme and the Materialised theme.

    During the last half year, there have been many changes to the theme engine that I'd like to (and need to) take advantage of.
    The one that affects Materialised the most, is the introduction of multi language support: currently, all button labels are part of the button PNGs. I went down this road at a time when TWRP was using a rather ugly looking proprietary font format. But ever since we have True Type Font support, ugly looking fonts no longer are a nuissance. So far, I've refrained from making the required changes to make full use of TTF support, because it's quite an effort. Now, with multi language support on the horizon, I will have to make these changes to maintain full compatibility with TWRP.

    There have been other changes, like the new terminal. It requires to use a software drawn keyboard to accomodate for additional keys (the current keyboard also consists of PNGs).

    Other changes to the theme engine allow to significantly strip down the XML, so far Materialised doesn't take advantage of these possibilities.

    The splash screen will no longer consist of a single static JPG, but will be an XML based page (like the rest of the ui).
    This means the AIK integration of Materialised (to change the splash) will break as well and needs to be adapted.

    So, point being:
    Materialised will loose its compatibility once TWRP 3.0 will be released. I'll not have an updated version ready in time.

    To prevent any harm to the device (and user confusion), a newly implemented theme version check will prevent Materialised from loading, so TWRP will automatically default back to the stock theme.

    While it would be easy to trick the theme version check, I will not do this.
    Sacrificing functionality for the looks was never the intention for this theme.
    Instead, I'll be revising the XML and build it from scratch.

    The result will be a much leaner version of Materialised (in terms of file size), but still with the looks and functionality that make it a worthwhile addition to TWRP.

    As for an ETA: I'm aiming for end of march.

    In the meantime, please help looking for potential bugs in the new stock theme, or consider to participate in translating the ui (I assume there will be an additional call to arms for that in the twrp threads).

    Thank you for using Materialised.

    Splash Screens and Recovery Repacks

    Resources for creating custom Splash Screens
    I've prepared a Splash Set for users to create their own splash screen from. The Splash Set contains:
    • an SVG file that can be edited using Inkscape
    • Roboto True Type Fonts (install them before you start to edit the SVG)
    • a folder with 1080x1920 sample curtains
    Download: Splash Set

    So long, and thanks for all the fish

    tl:dr /Materialised

    I have waited long enough to say what has most likely been appearent to some of you for a while now:
    There will be no more updates to the theme.

    Over the past six years, I gladly put hundreds of hours into maintaining Holofied and its successor Materialised.
    I used to challenge myself to have updated themes ready by the time new TWRP releases dropped.
    I still have devices that I bought only for the purpose of theme development.
    So I guess I was somewhat dedicated to this project.

    Today I run my Pixel 3XL stock rooted and only fastboot boot TWRP once a month.
    That is a long shot from trying to install as many roms as possible with a MultiRom TWRP on a Nexus 7.

    But every now and then I still got the itch: during the past 12 month, I experimented with new features: more splashes, image dumping and repacking, the often requested "pin lock", support for more aspect ratios, user configurable notch compensation.
    Apart from the 18:9 aspect ratio support, I finished none of those.
    I still observed the TWRP development on Gerrit, so half of the changes required since the release of TWRP 3.2.0 are already implemented.
    But recent additions like the list for device specific advanced functions require quite an effort to implement properly ("properly" as in: yielding a result that pleases my pedantic tendencies).
    And while I am still convinced that I could make all that stuff work eventually, I must admit to you (and myself) that I will not invest the ever increasing amount of time to do so. Priorities have changed.
    This will leave the theme incompatible with TWRP 3.3.0 and later versions. I recommend to not use it on the new TWRP release, even if it is still loading fine during boot.

    Thank you all for using the theme, for providing feedback and helping each other out in this thread.
    Also thanks to those users and devs that tought me how to GIT, build from source, or expanded the TWRP theme engine so I could have my way with it.

    I'll see y'all around.
