I searched and could not locate any information on how to resolve the screen pixel density issue with the Honeynook demo...so I started to play around with different settings by editing the build.prop...dozens of FC's later I stopped and decided to give it a rest...
However one day while on the bus to work, I decided to try using LCD density from the market...this worked!
...but a funny thing happened, when I dropped the density over 180 the Honeycomb launcher was replaced by what looks like ASOP lock screen and black status bar with white fonts , I then installed LauncherPro...check out the screen shots. (Playing around with higher settings changes the status bar to grey with black fonts, I did not screenshot those)
Then I started looking for a way to change the wall paper and show Picasa pictures. I found a thread with an APK to 3D Gallery which worked...screen shots below.
I'm not a dev; just tinkering with these ROMs...thought it might be informational as I have seen multiple threads where they mention how Honeycomb is not for phone devices...obviously there seems to be some phone stuff in there.
- Big thanks to Deeper-Blue for making this ROM
- Dalingrin for the 1.1Ghz Kernel
- Cicada for sparking my interest in froyo on this
- Samuelhalff for all the emmc posts, I learned a lot!
Anyone I missed…my bad, but thanks!
- my colors are all inverted, some setting i must have mised using the screenshot app-
What you did was changed the LCD density to a cell phone density. Honeycomb is designed to change the IU from tablet to phone based on density settings. The max you can change it to and keep the tablet format is 160. anything beyond that changes the ui to a 2.2 like UI

Hello everybody, this is my first theme, and I hope it's a good enough product for XDA and the Streak 5 community!
I have been forced by circumstances to stop all hobby projects for some time, and unfortunately this includes this theme. If anyone has the time and wants to continue work on this theme, or just to make a theme starting from this one, he/she is free to do so, as long as the people I have thanked here in the thread as well as myself are credited. Once again, thank you _n0p_ for a good ROM and I apologize for leaving my work unfinished.
Before I start, I want to thank _2bad4u_, nickshertzer and tenorntex for letting me use PNG's from their MattedBlues theme, the original MattedBlues theme creators for their theme, Google for a much improved interface for Android after version 4.0, LG for their smart (IMO) mod of white popups and backgrounds, and _n0p_ most for the most complete ROM for Streak, and the best performing one. (_n0p_, if you could add longpress-back-key-to-kill-app functionality from CM in DSC, I'll owe you a big case of beer.)
NOTE
This theme is made for DSC (1.5 currently) running in MDPI Portrait. I didn't test extensively in Landscape, but so far I didn't find any bugs that weren't already there in Portrait, so I guess it's ok. I have NOT tested any other GB ROM, DSC version, or other DPI, and I DO NOT guarantee that it will work if you flash this theme on anything other than DSC 1.5.
Installation Instructions
I am a noob with the more complicated stuff, so I went for the simplest solution I could find. In post #3 are .zip files that contain the framework, systemui and settings app. Just flash the suitable zip using Streakmod Recovery and you're good to go. USE ONLY ONE ZIP. The difference between them is explained in the Bugs post.
DESCRIPTION
As some of you probably agree, stock GB looks like crap, stock ICS looks much better. So I started making a theme for DSC, my ROM of choice, that would fulfill (most of) my aesthetic and functional ideals. However, this is an ICS-inspired theme, not an attempt to replicate that interface style, so please don't ask me to copy ICS, because that's not what I'm trying to do. I follow my own guidelines (listed below) when doing this theme, and some of them are actually the opposite of stock ICS.
Main Features
Starting from the ICS look, I want the theme to have the following characteristics:
MDPI base, because on our device, in HDPI, a lot of apps take too much screen space with interface elements, and this lowers the amount of useful information on screen
All white popups (windows, dialogs, popup menus, toasts) with black text, because IMO black on white is easier to see in direct sunlight , given the same screen brightness and text size, and we don't have LED screens so the battery drain isn't any higher. Also, popups should be obvious and clearly visible, either because they were brought up by the user, or because they were brought up by Android and contain useful information
Blue text (on black) for titles, hints and other text that can't be interacted with (pressed, copied), to better distinguish from black or white text, that can be copied, pressed or otherwise interacted with
Clear text hierarchy: Main (application) title (largest), Category title (large), Main text, buttons (medium), subtext/note/description (small)
Secondary modifications
There is also a number of smaller scale modifications, that include but are not limited to
Bigger text on buttons, because MDPI makes it too small on our device
Bigger text in Recent Applications, because it takes up the whole screen anyway
Thin volume/seek bars, ICS Style, with handle (not in the Music app, because the app isn't themed)
Modded Settings app for ICS Icons
Modded Quick Toggles from the DSC ROM to suit the theme, added overscroll effect
Modded gradient background
ICS notification icons
New menu popup icons
Replaced radio buttons with check buttons, for consistency
Increased text size in popup menus to Medium (from small), decreased text size from the "more" popup menu to Medium (from large). (Why were they different in stock GB?? It's basically the same menu!)
Hidden the Notifications and Ongoing titles from Notifications (but not the separators), because they are useless, every Android user knows which is which, and the notifications are already full of text most of the time
more stuff I don't remember now but you'll find out!
SCREENSHOTS
KNOWN BUGS
I have modified quite a few things for this theme, so a few bugs are to be expected. Here are listed the known bugs, and below I attached screenshots.
1. The stock phone app has some trouble with backgrounds other than black, as far as I can tell. In the screenshots you see a black square behind the "call" icon in the call log. It can be fixed using a non-transparent icon that covers that entire space, but since I'm using exDialer (MIUI fan!) with the white ICS theme, this fix was low on my priority list. I will add it in a later version for those who want the stock phone app, but I recommend you use another dialer/contacts app if the theme is important, because I will not theme other apps than the ones already themed. I don't have a lot of time and I've already worked more than I wanted to do this theme.
2. The stock alarm clock app also has problems with the gradient background. The alarm times are not visible in portrait, only in landscape (it's visible in the screenshots). You can turn the alarms on and off, and if you press the bugged area where the alarm time used to be, it still takes you to the alarm edit screen, where there are no bugs, so it's only the alarm selection screen that has bugs. I won't be theming this app either, so again I suggest using a different alarm app if you want to have the gradient background.
3. The email app overlaps 1 bigger and 1 smaller activity title bar. I don't know why, and I haven't used the stock theme since I started working on this one to know if the problem was there before. Again, I won't be theming this app either, so there probably won't be any fixes coming from me.
4. Not really a bug, but in some apps the popup menus use some of their own icons and some of the icons from the framework you have installed. In most cases they won't be the same and will look like crap together, and there's no fix (that I know of) other than theming all the other apps (which I won't do). Below is a screenshot of the issue in Terminal Emulator.
5. Mismatched light bottom popup. I couldn't track down the problem, and now I won't be able to.
BUG FIXES
A fix for the clock and phone, for those who do not want to use alternate phone or clock apps, is to eliminate the gradient background and revert to the stock black background. Until I find an alternative fix, I will attach 2 zips for each release version, a black background and a gradient background. Other than that there is no difference between them.
BUG REPORTING
If you find a bug, either in stock apps or in other apps, and you are sure it's my theme that causes the problem and not a problem with the app itself, then please report here. A screenshot would be most helpful as well. Bugs include white on white, black on black or grey on grey text (popups aren't perfectly white, so white text could still be visible, and black text should be visible on grey popups)
Releases
Releases
Current version: 0.6b for DSC 1.5
v0.6b changelog:
-Grey panel_background png, used for USSD popup and Root Explorer permissions popup, for example, is now white
-minor color modifications
-bottom part of popup fixed
As stated in the Bugs post, "gradient_background_vXX.zip" is the full theme, while "black_background_vXX.zip" uses the stock black background to eliminate the phone and alarm clock bugs. Flash either one using Streakmod, over DSC 1.5.
Great job, i like it, make's wanna come back to dsc. Because it's a great rom, and now it's looking like ics. Great job.

Thanks man. Now I regret my decision a little, it's a lot of work to do a theme, more than I thought. I hope people like it.
Please make it for longhorn2.9.3. pls

Both framework-res and systemUI are missing META-INF folder with manifest. This will cause system to bootloop (no rights in system) right from start, or if you are lucky, after factory reset
Simply copy that folder from original.

Attached - quickly changed manifest and install script of black background version, works for me.

Fixed! It always booted fine for me, so I never checked, I completely forgot. Thanks! I'll be using your install procedure from now on.
Edit: I just tested and saw the message the install script shows. Very cool, thank you. I always wanted something like that!

I'm sorry, but to port the theme to CM based ROMs is like starting over, as far as I know. I need to take a look at it to be sure. It's too much to do for the little time I have at the moment. Maybe I'll look into it once the theme goes into a more final stage. Right now I'm trying to track down all the bugs and make the last few popups white.
Sorry, i forgot to mention that you need to also copy AndroidManifest.xml from source.
I will try to diff and create a zip mod for your theme.
This will free us from recreating the theme for framework/system apps changes.
Hi!
I made a Jelly Bean inspired Theme for the new rom: CyanMobile eXperience [2.3.8][MB526]
Instructions:
- download the file
- copy to your SD Card
- install it with File Manager
- go to ThemeChooser, and apply
- ignore the warning, apply anyway
- REBOOT!!!
- after that, just use Your Phone!
If You find some bugs, errors or something, just report me here in post, or send me a private message! If You can, make a screenshot, so it is easier to find, what is the problem!
There are two different files, one for CyanMobile Experience, and one for "pure" CM7.
If You use some of CM7 version, than download: JBT v1.2
If You use CyanMobile Experience, than download: JBTEX v1.1
Here are a lot of screenshot for CM7 version and here for CyanMobile !
If You have any question, suggestion, support, or anything else, just find the way to do it!
hi,
it looks really nice but the system ui stat icons for off (e.x.com_android_systemui_stat_2g3g_off.png) are to dark, i can see it on the status bar is it possible to make it brighter?
the signal png never go blue and i have a H connection.
i use the maniac cm7 rom.
thnaks for your work
smoky
I updated the Theme, You can download here: JBT v1.1
Now the power widget OFF color is the same, as the icons on the statusbar. It is more visible on Sunshine
Edit: At ThemeChooser, it's no preview screen. It's a windows bug.
Edit_2: The H connection problem: I don't know, what is the problem, I tryed it now, and at me everything looks good. Anyone else, who has the problem, that the signal bars don't go blue? (see attached file below)
plzz....support mdpi
thanks
MDPI
It's difficult, to support MDPI size. I made this theme for my Defy, an it's HDPI, so the theme is also HDPI ONLY!
And why? Because when I change something, I can verify that looks good, it fits, the color or something is good or not.
Unfortunately I don't have any phone with mdpi screen, so I can't test. That is the reason for HDPI only.
Hi there, I'm using it on my Defy+ (with CMX) atm, and I love it.
Thank you
I have, one simple question thou. I happen to have a little bit diffrent color (cyan) than the one your screenshoot (lightblue).
All I found was how to change color of diffrent items, or global font color, but...
Is there easy way to change the whole color setup so it would look exactly like on the screenshoot? Oh, and btw, may I know the hex code for that lightblue color of yours?

Hi!
Ideally the color change automatically, but in CMX I find this bug too, but for me was just the lockscreen, what doesn't changed the color. If You go to Settings (I use now euroskank, so sorry, if I don't remember exactly where You sould go), CyanMobile Settings - Interface tweaks - Status bar tweaks - here You find a lot of "xyz color" , and the hex code is the right color ( ff33b5e5 ), just the system can't change. Just choose the option, that you want to change the color, then pick in the middle of the color circle, and it will be change!
The colors, what I used, is the same as find HERE, but what You looking for is: 33b5e5 !
Thanks, looks great
Great theme, could you change the color text of the "state" of the sms? I mean, Sent at 13:28, because I use the black wallpaper in mms.apk, and the color text is black, so I can't see it, im using CM7, thanks.
Thanks for reporting, I changed the color to blue. The new version have some minor updates too.
Download:
JBT v1.2
JBTEX v1.1
I changed the files in the first post too.

nice work
i have wildfire ( ldpi ) and its good theme for my phone
but a problem with program |: phone.apk
the numbers are very big in dialer and are not fit wiz screen
and i think beautiful and smaller signal bars can make the theme more awsome
nice.
Thanks!
Change the color for incoming notification. Blue on black is hard to read.
Does anybody know the new font in Android Logo for the future versions of Android? Please refer the attached image of the new logo. Thanks

I already have it. I'm actually looking for the exact one. Anyway thanks buddy.
This has probably been answered elsewhere, but the Lollipop logo font is simply called 'and'. It has two typefaces, light and black. It was made bay a company called A2type specifically for Google. It's license makes it non-redistributable but it can be extracted from the Androidify apk under framework/res/fonts.
Unfortunately, the font is not available as a standard ttf to be installed as a system font on Android. and-light is available only as an .otf. and-black on the other hand is a ttf font which can be installed on Android, but both font typefaces suffer from an extreme vertical offset that causes text to be off center or cut off throughout the interface. In order to make the font usable, someone would pretty much have to copy the glyphs onto a new font with proper spacing in order for it to look correct, which would be a considerable undertaking. Which really is a shame, because and is a very attractive font and would make the perfect compliment to the new Lollipop UI.
Lollipop Logo Font
Update:
Well, if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. I took the liberty of "fixing" this font, and I created light, regular, bold and italic typefaces. Enjoy!!!
Note, there are a few bugs that occurred from the conversion process which I will fix as I find time.
Download the font here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fdk38fti3bal925/Android%20Font.zip?dl=0
UPDATE 5/2/15
I've fixed quite a few errors like the trailing e at the end of words, the percent sign and various alternate characters showing up in the place of certain punctuations.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/b39y3hfqw287wdg/Android%20Light.ttf?dl=0
Did you only fix the Light version?
Started a new thread with more colour options, the op was getting too crowded
So I'm sharing a theme I made for anyone else that wants a lightweight theme.
Main changes from stock:
-iOS inspired dialer.
-Dark switches, system settings & quick settings icons.
-Changed brightness & volume sliders.
-Google sans font
-Darker text in some areas & and some system dialogue box backgrounds.
Only tested on my Mate 20 Pro, but will try to fix any errors if any are found.
Just remove ".zip" to use the theme
Thanks to @maurydes for allowing me to use some elements from his blue gradient theme, can be found here:
https://themesmanager.app/links/aGJU
*Launcher Icons made with Iconpackstudio:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.iconpackstudio
(if anyone wants to use them, can also update to include any missing icons)
Mega link for the icon pack: https://is.gd/s672uw
11 Feb 20
*Added green (grn), orange (org) & red accent colours, plus Gboard gradient backgrounds.
If anyone want to use a different dialer colour you can unzip the theme and swap com.android.contacts.
***Known bug, the subject text on Gmail notification is dark grey, this only happens when the qs & notification are black, still trying to fix this***
Great work all around, just some tips... Make the names in contacts a little bit highlighted. Also u should change the background color of sharesheet as attached

When you share post on Instagram, that's when the share sheet comes. N yes , make that name highlighted as you have shown in your screen shot. Also another bug I found is that when an SMS comes in Google messages the mark as read and reply option is invisible and not readable

Ok, I'll take a look later this evening but I don't use Instagram or Google messages so might need you to test. Also probably do a separate new theme since I prefer the darker text, any other requests for the new theme?

No thanks, darker text is fine, no need to change , if u can make or keep it as stock contact dark theme would be nice. Just hopefully if u can make the text readable for Google messages WhatsApp etc... Would be great. Love the pitch black shades

Had some time today, theme updated v1.4, fixed dark notification text, made text in contacts a few shades lighter & share sheet in Instagram darker.
Let me know if you see anything else, i dont use many stock apps so might have missed something.
Cheers

Suggestion, possible to make the shade of grey more darker of the share sheet in Instagram.
I'll keep u up to date on any bugs if found... Love the changes u made into contact, texts looks much better
Possible to make the subject of email in notification readable in Gmail if not white... Some other color to read the subject text when u receive email.
Another bug found on the default weather app... Weird black bar at the top, even after restarting phone. Also a suggestion can u not make the font color bold in settings but more like as stock, less highlighted... Better for the eyes

Found another bug while expanding notification for Gmail and facebook
Just want to thank u so much for taking any suggestions into consideration. Very appreciated... Near perfect dark theme.
Hi, is it possible to make the Instagram share sheet this shade of dark, u can use marydues pitch black theme for reference. It will look really cool n cohesive with the rest of theme.
Btw, wanted to ask why is the contact not fully pitch black, it's a shade lighter than the bottom part and search box.
Also a suggestion as u can in the first screenshot of the file manager, is it possible to make the font color of the general theme like this in terms of boldness, like the main title n subtitle of this shade of white.
Very big bug report, icons n texts are not visible per screenshot in the in call app

Yeah, I was rushing and left out the incall UI it's fixed now, also fixed the expanding notification (v1.6).
I've just seen your post about the file manager and contacts, both are intentional but I'll take a look tomorrow.
Thanks
All the best [emoji1474]
