[Q] Theme of SIII - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
One of my colleagues has purchased a new S III and the only thing he's not happy about it is the white text over black background on certain screens (specially the Email app)
Is there a quick and easy way of having black text over white background on email app (and others) ?
thx.

No, you need to either download an alternative application, or root your phone and install an inverted version :/

I don't mean to patronize or anything , but someone with 10+ thanks should be able to go figure this one out by himself / herself ..
There is a whole sub-forum of themes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1567
If there are any other-way without theme-ing you ask ? ... well yes, you can do that too ! =) use 10 mins of your own time and you will almost certainly!! figure it out
I dare ya .. actully i DOUBBLE dare ya "!!one1

Have him use mail.google.com in desktop mode ... dowhatever you\he wants is 1 option ... inverted colors with intelligent app launch on gmail app ?

I prefer the black backgrounds and white text actually. Easier on the eyes AND the battery.

thank you. I have lots of experience with Android platforms but I really never wanted to change any theme of any of my devices.
This is just a colleague's request and I found it easier to ask ratherthan try to invent wheel from scratch.
what do you mean by inverted colors with intelligent app launch ?

hi,
I'm searching but no results;
what is inverted colors with intelligent app launch ?

cm9

hi in was thinking about installing cm9 but it looks complicated with linux etc. is there a place ai can go to see the difference between cm9 and cm7 and why its so much better? also im sure that i saw a video of a girl showing off the rom she made for the nook tablet but i cant find individual roms in the development section. do i just need glasses?
Rom
There are also a few experimental roms out, but I won't be adding them to that thread until they are stable. You can find their threads in development though (grab a pair of glasses) if you want to try them.
I've commented on the pros and cons of cm7 and cm9 a few times. Search around and you'll see.

In CM9? You can go to Settings > Accessibility and toggle Large Text to make menu text bigger. That might help a bit.

[Q] Cropping pictures for lock screen

I am trying to use the attached picture as my background on my lock screen. When I select it under the settings it keeps trying to have me crop it. The picture is not that big and the cropping will not let me select the whole picture. Is there anyway around this or how can I edit the picture so I do not have this problem?
i think it has to do with the physical aspects of the picture. Because its square rather than rectangular, it may always want to crop it even though it could fit.
I suggest you use a paint shop program on your computer to make a rectangular black backround and then attach this image to that. Finally save the new image with the background as it is, and then try cropping that.
If you dont know how to do that, send me the picture as an attachment or somehow to download it and i will try it for you.
I have answered this before so I'll answer again. First, take a screenshot of that picture then go to where it was saved and use the screenshot picture as your background. It will be fullscreen with no cropping.
true! didnt think of that! that is much faster!

Also thanks to @faisal.fmq for the help with testing.

**I.e. No Longer Updating or Supporting* *
Round icon mask:
https://bit.ly/3bYapFm
**Known issues**
Dark text on gmail "subject" notifications, dark controls on default music app notifications & dark status bar icons in the gallery app. These are caused by making the toggles, switches & quick settings black, i will continue to look for a workaround
*I don't expect anything in return, since many people expect something for nothing these days.
Over 5000 downloads, to all who showed appreciation & said thanks, I thank you back!*

Just checked that theme & it also has the dark subject in the Gmail notification, Huawei need to update their theme engine, this happens just by adding com.android.systemui & framework-res folders (needed for the black qs) even without adding the theme.xml.
As for the gallery issue that is cause by theming the switches and toggle to black, there's 1 line in the framework XML but it also affects other parts of the theme.
If enough people asks I might do a different version using the default switches qs shade (grey), this will fix the gallery and Gmail

Instead of doing completely like stock dark grey, why don't u do just the gallery app like the theme I gave... Gmail subject issue will always be there, that can be managed. I'm just saying for the gallery app only, rest everything is perfect. Just make the gallery theme stock or pop up option in dark grey which might resolve the status bar icon problem. Your original theme in the previous thread didn't have the gallery status bar problem.
Let Gmail be, as black notifications is more important

The previous version didn't have the status bar issue but did have the black text in the gallery info graph (caused by the black elements in the theme) and since someone else on the other thread pointed it out, I had to find a compromise.
All I can suggest for now is to delete the com.android.gallery3d from the theme until I find a better way or Huawei updates the theme software.
Nothing else I can do right now.[emoji848]

Amazfit GTS - Automate weather update

Hey guys,
the GTS is quiet nice, but the need of updating weather manually threw the app is just stupid. I would like to have an automatically way to update weather for example every hour. Do you have an idea how to do this? Somehow it doesn't work yet with tasker, but i just started with tasker.

Use AeX (https://myamazfit.ru/threads/aex-amazfit-extended-modifikacija-amazfit.1164/) as it brings amazing features to the app like selecting weather provider, auto weather update, sync to google fit, custom font emojis etc
Im trying it now. You can download it here, for anyone interested
https://portal.mi-room.ru/files/aex-amazfit-mod/
Weather doesn't work with AeX. There is no weather information shown. Unfortenaly the support is russian only. Is there anybody who knows how it works?
