[US VARIANT][No Flash] Hybrid Theme (PORT) - G4 Themes and Apps

With root finally here I figured I would go ahead and port some themes for the US model.
DISCLAIMER: THIS CAN BREAK YOUR DEVICE, IF IT DOES THEN I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. IF YOU COME TO ME CRYING BECAUSE YOUR PHONE IS BROKEN I WILL POINT AND LAUGH AT YOU. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Now then, on to the good stuff.
ARE THERE ANY PREREQUISITES?
YEP. Root and an unlocked bootloader. Lol, jk. You just need root, but I got ya, huh?
WHAT IS THIS?
This is the first true theme for the G4 Variants with locked bootloaders.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
It replaces stock icons in your statusbar/quicksettings with more google(ish?) ones.
WHAT DO I DO TO GET THIS?
I thought you'd never ask:
1. Backup using Titanium Backup.
2. Download the file below somewhere you can remember.
3. BACK UP YOUR CURRENT LGSystemUI.apk (system\priv-app\LGSystemUI\) BEFORE YOU REPLACE IT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
4. Using any root explorer place the apk in system\priv-app\LGSystemUI\.
5. Replace the old one (THAT YOU BETTER HAVE BACKED UP) by renaming the downloaded LGSystemUI[insertcarrierhere].apk to just LGSystemUI.apk.
6. Change permissions to rw-r-r.
7. Reboot.
That's it. Enjoy your new theme. If you want to revert back just take the old backup that you made (you did make it, right?) and repeat steps 4-7.
WHERE DA LINK AT?!
Right here:
7/27/2015 (AT&T) (810)
7/27/2015 (T-Mobile) (811)
7/28/2015 (Verizon) (vs986)
7/27/2015 (Euro) (815)
If your variant is not listed above it is because I have not yet made it yet. Upload your *CLEAN* LGSystemUI.apk and I will have it back to you ASAP (if I'm not AFK then it will take five minutes.)
CREDITS:
-Me for porting this and making the thread.
-kickoff for doing most of the work in the first place. Be sure and go thank him!
THIS IS A PORT, SO BEFORE YOU COME WHINING TO ME ABOUT HOW KICKOFF'S THEME HAS THIS AND THAT AND THIS PORT DOES NOT:
1. SUCK MY A**.
2. BE PATIENT, THIS IS A WIP AND YOU GUYS DON'T PAY ME ENOUGH TO GRIPE.
SCREENSHOTS FOR NUDES:

Is everything straight with it. Just want to make sure before I move it over. It came out with no icon, just the green robot which usually means something's not compiled right..

currently running it fine on mine, the reason why it is the green Andy is because it's a system app.

Yeah pulled it straight from the system. I renamed yours to just systemUi.apk and removed the tmo part. Could that be why?

I tried all of them last night, got boot loops on all 3. I have a personal custom version of 2.2.1 stock ROM. The only thing I have done on my ROM is delete some .apk's, deodex'd and zip-aligned the .apk's. There are no themes or other mods besides Gr8gorilla's OC kernel.
Might it have something to do with the native ability to theme? Is the framework modified by applying a theme in the customization settings? If so, the state of everyone's framework could be different. Could also try a cache flush.
Both flying and fold gave me a boot loop too... I have 2.2.1 and also deleted some bloat on my phone... Also running launcherpro plus if that helps! Really want to try this out

I have installed first metamorph and then your theme.
Now i would like to come back with the original theme but i dont know how.
( i have tried with a hard reset without success)
Thanks

can't you get into bootloader (switch on/vol up) and reflash the sbf? This did work for me, but didn't like it much so reflashed, its just easy to do that and no pissing about.
Prop to Jboogie3 tho at least someones taking the time to put something out there
I basically forgot about the bootloader. Props to jboogie for putting the files out there AND helping the retards scewing up their phones

[Q] No bootanimation at all.

Hallo people,
i have a question about bootanimation. Mine isn't working at all.
Does anybody no how to get it working again? Have all the original files in the right places. May it be that i've deleted something when i was deleting some systemapps and bloatware, does bootanimation needs anything like an app or something? Also i changed the build.prop for showing no bootanimation, but offcourse i turned it back.
I'm on stock KPH, rooted, Coolya kernel, CRT animation enabled if any of this maybe important.
Thnx a lot in advance.

Not yet, and don't think i'm going to do that for just bootanimation.
Hoped it could be easily and quickly done, but if that's not going to happen then i will take this for granted (CRT and everything else is working fine and thats what i wanted)

Do some kind of backup. But I suppose nothing too detrimental would happen, as DG's rom is based on stock.
His is, and I do have a backup. Everything is looking good so far, and as an added bonus I got my battery percentage in the stock battery. Whoop whoop! lol

CRT_Animation CWM File
Here you go guys...Anyone who wants the CRT on Stock framework-res I have decompiled made the adjustment and then rebuilt the apk and added it into a CWM flashable file for you. Fully tested on my phone and working like a charm. Just download to your SDcard, boot to recovery and install the downloaded zip and reboot...OH don't forget to enjoy!

Yup it is all about stock as I mentioned in the post...I did it for those that really want the CRT but don't want or need a whole lot of changes to their phones. The ones that want the extensive mods probably already know or are already are doing this stuff in their own ways. Hope you can enjoy though.

From the looks of it yes...GTG looks like he is using the stock stuff too! You can always just flash one of the battery mods that eep2378 built or you can decompile and incorporate a mod in with your CRT mod like I did using the Crysis battery into the build.
sweetboy02125 said:

It will, because in the framework you flash is its own set of battery icons. To implement CRT and keep your mods, you'd have to make the changes to your framework.
Adding CRT screen off is pretty easy.
First step is to get your framework-res.apk that you want modded.
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk C:/<whereeveryouwantit>
Second step is to decompile it. With apktool, there are plenty of tutorials on how to do this.
Third is to go to the folder which apktool created and navigate to /res/values/bools.xml
Fourth is to find the line of code that says:
Code:
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">[B]true[/B]</bool>
...and change it to false.
Fifth is to recompile the apk, tutorials on how to do this are also online.
You'll end up with a resources.arsc which you just have to add to your framework-res.apk that you wanted to be modded.
Sixth, push it back to your phone
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Restart and it should work perfectly.

Android L theme

Guys, I came across this theme at the P6 forum. Excellent theme. Best part is it gives u the Android L softkey and changes your nav bar to black, all without root. Working perfectly with our device. Thank the developer for his great work!

i like it just for that
