Customising a theme - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, im pretty new to runnning a custom rom and having all the access. Decided to go with Resurrection Remix and its pretty amazing. Anyway, Im messing around with themes. Found one on the Play Store that Is available in different shades/details. There are 4 i think, Im at the moment using the "stock" (?) one, that is mellow red highlights and although It does look good I find it too much, the deep blue one is amazing tough as I have seen on screenshoots but I have no idea how to change it to that colour. In fact I dont know how to customize that theme itself, where do I find the options? I literally looked everywhere, the theme manager, the theme settings. I just cant find the settings that would allow me to manage THAT theme.
Im using the Coalfield CM13 Theme.

[Q] MIUI Themes?

Has anyone come across any good themes for MIUI? I am loving this ROM but would love to change it up some.
Miui v4 is a great one, if you like the Miui stock look but want something a little sharper/more modern.
Probably my favorite is the theme "Metro." It's worth checking out.
Where do I get new themes?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
This one was awesome when I was on MIUI:
http://blackandroidtheme.blogspot.com/p/miui.html
I'm currently rocking NeonGT. Here's a link to the series, they have a few different colors and they're all very well done. Also, I plan on making a theme of my own pretty soon that you might be interested in when the time comes.
Do a search for MIUI.us on Google. Under development in the forums you will find themes. Also I just found Micentral(click on themedex) has all the good themes with links to original post.
If you open up the "Themes" app, you can click "Resource Detail".
You can view all of themes available. Some may show in Chinese on there, but when you install it it is all in English.
Oh and also:
I prefer mixing and matching parts of themes.
Just go to whatever theme you want (has to be downloaded already).
And un-check whatever you don't want to apply.
I prefer the Black Ice lock screen, so I would go to Black Ice, scroll down, and un-check everything but that.

CM/AOSP Theme request - anyone able to help?

Hi, I'm currently using Project AOSP and really love the theme B&B Black&Blue Fusion, but does anyone know of a theme like this that can be used on an AOSP rom, like SlimBean? I love the icon design, as pictured in the attached image, but can't seem to find one similiar (black and blue mix, with big toggle icons with text).
Anyone able to help? I have seen Cobalt but didn't like the traslucent settings menu, or JellyBeanX, for example, but again can't find one more similiar to the one pictured.
Anyone any good black/blue themes to suggest?
I spent many hours on xda trying to find a theme like this for my stock rom.
finally I flashed Alliance Rom and I'm thrilled with it.
p.s. I know simplistic framework may do the job, but I just don't like it.

[Q] ROMs all look the same....

Although many ROM's have different features and add-on's, it seems like most have the same old theme... the ugly cyan blue writing on a black background in all of the menus and settings screens. Are there any ROM's that break from this same old theme?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing anyone or any ROM, I just don't like the dismal blue on black look.
Can anyone suggest a ROM that has a different feel?

go through the dev. section and you will see. Another option is to install a theme (from dev. section as well, there are a few, or Play Store).
and that's why we have the themes section. that's also why there are hundreds of CM themes on the play store.
PS Holo is beautiful

And blue is the worst colour for screen burn in
Yes, I find that every rom that comes out with 4.2 or 4.3 look the same. I don't see any difference so thats why it makes it hard to pick a rom because they look a like, but with different rom names. Is this really 4.3 or is it someones version how 4.3 would look like? I ask because of everyone's vision of how so called "key lime pie" supposed to look like and everyone was fooled into thinking this was the new name. Now, its out and its called "KitKat" and no one knows how its supposed to look like.
I like the AOSP or AOKP but at times it does get a bit boring. I do download themes but most of them aren't fully themed. I'm not a big fan of launchers so I just like the rom for what it is, not because of adding a launcher to make it look different.

The "same theme" is stock Android theme, developed by Google, which exists in stock Android phones (Nexus), and also all clean Android forks, f.e. AOSP (CM) or AOKP.
Personally I love cobalt theme -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dustinb.theme.cobalt and I have little plans to implement it to my ArchiDroid in near future. You know, theme isn't really a problem, because it's a matter of taste. You have a GIANT list of themes working on CM for example, you just need to take a look at themes section.
I agree with you , i also liked it at first because it was new you know have to change to make it look nicer
so all u have to do is just search for themes over the Internet or here in
the Galaxy S III Themes and Apps
PS: they have really good ones .
**don't forget too to download icon packs because it's the real complete for the theme .
But believe me it will be tough to decide which ROM according to the theme of the ROM .
Cobalt is a nice theme. I've been using the "Simplicity" themes which is nice too. I like the flexibility of altering your phone with these themes. I hope that when the 4.3 comes out for us that it'll be different enough to keep on our phones. I just hope that samsung changes TW a bit maybe even making it flat. I hope that more themes get developed so I can play around with them. I like "Lunar, Flatron, and Gem" those are pretty cool.

how to

Hi guys
I want to know how to get more themes in the settings menu under display settings themes menu on android 4.2.2
even I am ready to donate whosoever will help me
If you have a Themes section in Settings, I'm assuming you are running a custom rom such as CyanogenMod, AOKP, SlimBean, etc? If so, there are tons of themes in the Play Store...
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=cm10+themes&c=apps
If that isn't the case, well, if you don't tell us what phone and rom you have, how would we know what to suggest?

my device is spice mi436 with stock ROM and vanilla android
Ah ok. That's not typical of most android phones that are stock. But I couldn't find any info about the themes section for your phone. Doesn't seem to be a popular thing to do. I looked at an unboxing video for it and they didn't even discuss it. *shrug* If it's a built-in one and they don't already have some kind of theme store for it included, you're probably out of luck.

Does it just change the launcher theme or the actual system theme and launcher? If it's just the launcher, then there are dozens of other launchers that have 100x the customization options.

[Q] recamendations on theme or apps

i used the cf auto root and NH7 so still 4.4.4
im looking for some suggestions from the experienced users of either app or themes based on my needs.
im vision impaired and deaf so sound is whatever but vibrations are great if customized. as for vision, i work best with the dark themes. mainly like everything is a black nackground with light colored text. even google chrome. i can do it on my pc but not phone and i did try firefox but altho it worked, not very stable to use. i do tend to lean towards go launcher bc of editing how i like and still simple icons. nothing fancy or whatnot. but another app would be like a note pad where background is black, font is white but you can change the size of the font. ive tried blackbook app but its perfect if i could just change the font size. can anyone suggest any dark themes or apps that could benefit me? im not to ready to update to lollipop yet but if its the only way to get certain things i need, i will but for now i would like to try to stick with android 4.4.4. thank you in advance to any help and advice!

Hi , have you tried to change your font size ? Go to settings/device/font/font size and you can change your font size. Or you can change style also while your there 5 fonts that come with the device. Or you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752379 download and install this APK and you have 500 different fonts to choose from.
