More UI elements themed
More apps themed
jav... nice work! tried to catch you in IRC, but you left b4 I got a chance to talk to you about this...
Not sure if this was designed this way, but wanted to let you know either way... it's kinda that way in Google Voice as well... Great job tho...
I kind of did that on purpose, but I've been toying with making them more prominent a bit. You might see the look get updated in the near future. I'm glad you like my work though and appreciate the constructive criticism.
Niiiiiiccceeeee!!! Did you use the black modded apps package to make twitter and facebook black?
I really like the theme, it looks great. I also love dark/minimalist themes. The only thing i don't like about is it is that the battery indicator looks a bit too bright/happy for the theme.... Maybe a grey indicator in the status bar would work better or maybe a blue or purple one. Just a suggestion. Other than that it looks great.
Nice work ,

Nope. Everything about this theme, aside from the default wallpaper, I made myself.

I've actually been trying to remove almost all color, or at least that's the end goal.... except for green. I wanted to let the Android green stay. I also happen to think it looks good with the black and gray, brings just a slight amount of color. So, unfortunately, I don't intend on changing the battery indicator. Maybe I could provide a grayscale option as a flashable update.zip style installer package at a later date though if I get time.
I'm glad you like what I've got together so far. It's really far from done yet, I plan on more deeply theming a lot of the other apk's, like facebook and twitter that you mentioned, so that they're more black just like the Gmail/Gtalk apps are already.
Perhaps I'm missing something....
since swype apparently was not included w/ 2.2.2, I downloaded the swype apk, but even after reinstalling the theme, I still get the default swype keyboard.
Other than that I'm a big fan, nice work!
The direction s on the original post should state where to find everything. I don't install swype automatically as not everyone has it installed/uses it. Check /sdcard/BlackOut for a D2_Swype.zip and flash it from recovery.
Afaik, it works perfectly. I know a bunch of people who're using it.
Please try and remember to always read the first post from start to finish before reporting "bugs". I'm glad you like my work.
Sweet theme, in the 5 minutes I have looked at it and tried it. No themed FB and Twitter widget though? Something I am missing?

Same here. Neither of them are themed. Stock and LauncherPro.
In Dominican, but sae your posts. Check /sdcard/BlackOut after theme install for the apks as stated in the thread
Hey jav, love this theme. Was wondering if you were going to update for 2.3+ before I installed 2.3. Black Out is where it's at!
Just got back from vacation. Updates coming in the next couple of days. Stay tuned...

I was looking for a zip file with CW recovery, and it won't show apks.
Gonna try it now, thanks
So much for that - the apks wont install.
None of them...and I am no rookie
I have been using this theme for a while, LOVE IT. my background fades into black so the effect is absolutely great. Thanks a ton.

It sounds like you're doing something wrong. You don't install apk's in recovery. Can you describe for me the exact steps you're trying to take to install these? Nobody else has reported any issues on DX or D2, so I highly doubt it has anything to do with the apk's themselves, but I could be wrong.
Best theme out there, any chance we will be seeing Gmail 2.3.2 in all black? Also a blacked out version of market would be pretty cool. Looking forward to the 2.3 drop when it comes out!

Everything should be updated hopefully this weekend to work with 2.3, including hopefully the new Gmail. I've been hearing there's already a Fission 2.3.1, so I might just jump over 2.3 to that, but either way, the theme will be getting updated and development continues.

I'm not really sure what you're doing in Root Explorer. All you have to do is open up the included "Files" file manager and click on the *.apk file that you want to install from /sdcard/BlackOut. It'll prompt you if you want to install it and you click ok. Afaik, you're the only one that's been having issues getting these .apk's installed. Try it the way I just described and report back, if possible. It's really the simplest / only way I ever install *.apk's and I've never had issue.

Root Explorer IS a file manager.
It didn't work your way either.

This is his hard work, and it's very good looking, I'm just trying to help minimize the zip size and get it moved to an apk for Tmobiles Theme Chooser
this is a good start in the right direction, dueces
Awesome, thanks!
*sigh* - DON'T
Seriously, guys... The themeing engine was added to CM7 precisely to avoid this kind of messing up with the ROM, so *don't* do this. Themes can now be built and distributed as APKs, you can even market the damned things...
This comes from an installable APK, for example:
xttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/10355648/mau5-land.png
Check the vendor/tmobile/themes/Cyanbread and Androidian stuff for examples.
Awesome I love it thanks
So this is a .apk or theme? Could you explain a bit more why you say this is a bad idea?

Had some issues, working now on #15. I edited the link in post #1 for the working full colorized build #14
I dig this, but am not keen on flashing something on top of nightlies that could jack with the ROM that's already a WIP.
Once you convert to a theme I'll definitely give it a whirl (not much liking the current 3 themes, but love the functionality & options it will bring).

It's a theme, installed as an APK. Messing up with ROMs to change layout has always been a problem, it's _very_ easy to mess up something, especially when those changes are done by simply repacking the resources (unzip, replace, re-zip). It's a fairly frequent source of support problems for developers, and it's just an ugly way of themeing a phone.
CM7 includes a themeing engine developed by T-Mobile, and the main reason for it is to prevent these problems (and it is _very_ powerful, allows you to change almost anything from layout to animations, not just graphics). If you're running a recent build of CM7 (or any of the many CM kangs) , open the "Theme Chooser" application and choose one of the 2 samples: they are a very small example of what can be done. Note that even the window transitions are changed. Then search the market for "greybeard", and have fun installing your first market theme

well, no, its not a theme yet
its actually a kanged version of cm7
THE ONLY THINGS THAT ARE CHANGED ARE:
images in framework, SystemUI, Settings, Bluetooth, Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Contacts, Deskclock, Email, FM, MMS, Music and Phone
no layouts or xml files are changed, only images
the images changed have the exact same names, they have only been colorized so that the menu icons and notification bar icons that were grey/black and white before are now colored...some others that were colored before (like battery for instance) were changed to blue or some other design that i preferred (i personally cant stand the signal bars/wifi indicators in gingerbread)
this was originally just something i was doing for myself for a few months starting in july, 2010, but after i finally shared it in october over at cmforum, it took off as people liked it
there is nothing else changed in the ROM itself, so flashing this overtop of your current version of cm7.*** doesnt "break" anything else
so really its as simple as having both versions available on sdcard and flashing one or the other
honestly, its much to do about nothing, its just a different look
if someone can tell me how to "theme" the framework, and all those apk's listed above without doing it this way, i'd be glad to do it, it would save me alot of work, but i like doing it anyway

For those of you crying that this will break ****: No, it won't. It is a full rom. Nothing is broken/breaking.
I am working on adding it to the theme chooser, as that's the goal here.

I have been using the version since the first version was introduced until I moved to MIUI. I had it for a while and haven't had any issues with anything whatsoever
Used the full versions myself

I was going to wait until I was completely finished to release this but it seems a red theme is in high demand and with ICS leaks starting I didn't know how long until it would be outdated.
This is my first released theme for android so go easy on me. Another reason I'm posting this is to get some feedback from the community as to what they are looking for in a theme. I realize there are some things that could use polishing so let me know what you think. I'm open to feedback so long as it's constructive!
Disclaimer:
Flash at your own risk, You are the only one responsible for your phone.
I'm sure everyone knows the deal by now.
Install Directions:
1) Download latest version of Redzound-v0.x-Ineffabilis.zip
2) Boot into recovery
3) Make a nandroid backup just in case.
4) Wipe Cache
5) Install Redzound-v0.x-Ineffabilis.zip
6) Reboot and Enjoy!
(for some having issues with statusbar foreclosing boot into recovery and fix permissions)

Whats Themed:
Tons of Framework images-new
SystemUI
Mail
Browser
Music
Contacts
Settings
MMS
Dialer
Camera
Flashlight
BootAnimation
ICS window animations
Roboto Font
Animated Notifications - (Turn off by setting notifications to transparent in mik settings )
Clock is not themed it is Beautiful Widgets "brackated_Red" skin
Rosie and a lot of other HTC things are not able to be themed at the moment. (to my knowledge anyways)
Bugs:
I have not come across any major flaws or bugs. But then again I don't use everything on the phone so please post with as much detail as possible of the location of bad icons and text strings if you find any.
To Do List:
Version v1.0 will more than likely be the final update.
As for porting this to ICS.... I"m going to wait until there is a official ICS release or as close to official as the devs can get
plus I need a little break this theme has consumed a lot of my time lately!!!!!
Download in 2nd post
I do have 2 small requests for anyone reading this or downloading this theme.
1) If you want to use or port this theme as your own ask me first. I spent a lot of time editing these images and want to know where it's going and that proper credit is given.
2) I recently realized the lack of real feedback in the android community. I see tons of mods and themes with over 1,000's of downloads and only 10 people where able to take the second to hit the thanks button. Also multiple apps on the market with millions of downloads and only 10,000 comments that's a pretty low percentage!! I hate to sound demanding but come on people!!!! It only takes seconds to do this and it's gives us themers, modders, and hackers something to go off of and keep doing what we do.
Lastly I wanted to give thanks to all the members of the various Android forums that wrote guides for people like me to learn stuff like this. With out the community I would not be able to do the things I'm learning to do. And also a quick thanks to UOT kitchen for the battery icons and the animated background. I hate making those crazy xmls lol.

Thank you to fernando sor for the base Inverted SystemUI.apk!!
This is not a complete theme. You must flash the full theme first then this will remove the cubed animation in the notifications.
It also fixes the time stamp on notifications.

After installed theme:
WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR GREAT JOB!
The Live picture on the notification is my
Favorite part.. i hope u keep working on this
cus your doin a GREAT job..it would be great
if more icon were themed too like market,people,
music, internet and ect. but i know its a work in progress
so im pretty sure you will but looks great..
I should be able to get a good update or 2 before ICS becomes stable. I was having some issues with the market but I think I have it figured out. I'll include more app icons in the next version too forgot about those. Thanks for the feedback!

lol sorry for goin off topic
I haven't looked at the ICS framework so I hope they didn't mocve too much around or it may take some figuring out. More than likely I'll port theme to an isc build.

Warning. Possible n00b question ahead (first smartphone so first time geeking out over my phone)...
Do you need root for this? I just grabbed a skin but it was an app I downloaded from the market. I've installed apps using adb before but based on the instructions it sounds like root is required.
I will be rooting but am studying up on Android OS and flashing ROMs/kernels before I do.
Also, once this is flashed, is it added to the skin/theme options on the phone so that it can be selected and deselected (blasphemy I know)? And is it all or nothing or can certain elements be changed, such as wallpaper or something like that.

Wait, you're a noob? You seem so seasoned in all your posts!
To answer your questions... yes you need to be rooted to flash this. This will not be a skin as it is a theme that you have to flash from recovery. It will not be added anywhere like the HTC skins. This will simply be applied to your phone. That means that you can continue to use that skin if you want to in order to add a little more to it. I'll be running this in a second and using one of the skins that was just released recently. And most of this should be all or nothing, in a sense. You will still be able to change things just like you could with the stock theme. Meaning that you will be able to change the wallpaper and stuff.
EDIT: You also need to realize that this is a theme for Ineffabilis. That means that you need to be running that ROM to use this theme. If you try to flash this theme on top of a different ROM or the stock ROM, you could have serious issues. Still can't get over that you're a noob haha
EDIT 2: You also don't need to use adb for this. You can just download it, put it on your sd card, boot into recovery, wipe your cache and dalvik, then select flash zip menu. You can then select it off your sd card. Much easier than doing it through adb, imo.
EDIT 3: Seriously, you're a noob????? Like, I hope you don't take this as an insult, but I just can't get over it. I consider you one of the select few who know what you're doing! I'm impressed

Yup, total n00b. Except that I've been reading almost every post in the Rezound forums studying up on what I need to know about the phone and rooting/flashing etc. I have to get my geek fix here cuz my girlfriends just wanna talk about pregnancy, adoption, etc...
Yeah, I plan on flashing Ineffabilis ROM and I think dsb kernel, or maybe Ziggy's.
Thanks for the help and the compliment!

Haha, no problem. I am thoroughly impressed. If only more would read everything before posting I would definitely recommend Ineffabilis, though it will be dead soon. It is the best ROM right now, imo, but there will be better to come with the ICS leak out. I would suggest using that ROM for now, though. I like Ziggy's kernel, too, but others have had their issues with it. I've been running it since I rooted and haven't had an issue yet. (Well, it does bootloop when I'm charging it and it hits a full charge). But it's pretty stable for me. I'm flashing this theme right now, but I'll be using the Red Beats Skin on top of it.
Edit: This is to the OP... I didn't want to flash this because I thought it kind of looked meh in the pictures. Just flashed it and holy crap it's gorgeous! Big props and hope you keep adding themes for all the ICS ROMs.
Thanks wasabi! I'll try and to add some better screenshots tomorrow.

Yeah, the only thing I was still unsure of after flashing it was the font. I read too much on my phone and it was starting to bother me. I just installed the Roboto font, though, and I love it again You should make other colors like blue and green You know, if you have time haha

Hi guys, I've been working really hard on an s5 Rom port lately. Doing so I came up with the idea to theme the new Android L Keyboard so that it fits better within the S5 System.
I hope that I'm allowed to share this on XDA. I've done the theme myself but of course the app belongs to Google.
I hope you like it.
My previous version had some problems due to a bug in APKTOOL. Now thanks to a lot of research and the kind help of @Shaftamle I've fixed those problems. Also, instead of using Shen Ye's Android L keyboard I used the latest build from the L preview.
I used some smali mods from Shen's app though to make my theme set by default.

(2.0 version)
MD5: d520de7b8ba1beb428154b7928b2f5ca
Changelog:
V2.0.1 - COMING SOON -
Removed some extra symbols (that appear twice)
Added the full experience to the french azerty keyboard aswell
V2.0
FC issue fixed
Added number-row
Made it much sexier

V1.0
Initial release, a lot of FCs caused by a bug in APKTOOL
Features:
Number row with a much slimmer implementation than other mods
S5 Material theme
Removed the annoying fullscreen mode
Much slimmer design (smaller gaps between the rows)
Easy installation due to included libs in the apk
Installation:
Remove any existing Google Keyboard installations, if any
Install the apk (must have allowed "unknown sources")
Leave a thanks
As already stated, this also features a number row(as per user request), which I borrowed from other modders. The big change I made though, which took me a really long time to figure out, was to make the row much smaller, fontsize-wise. It's much prettier to look at and less bulky compared to the other mods now. If any other devs want to copy this addition, feel free to do so. Just don't forget to credit me
I also wanted to add secondary symbols to it, but decided not to do so because of the required amount of smali edits. It would require hours and hours of work to get it working...
I really hope that you'll appreciate this keyboard. I probably won't continue to work on it. I will however update it once Google releases the final version.
It works on all android devices supporting the normal L keyboard.
If you plan on using this in any ROM or use my edits, please ask for permission first. And please do also consider donating if you like this keyboard , I've spent quite a long time on perfecting it.
Have fun!
If you are so good at theming can you make an Android L theme for stock Samsung keyboard? I love the material look of new Google keyboard but unfortunately Google heyboard doesn't have a romanian dictionary. Thank you!

Ok I've changed the filehosting site. Hope it works finally
I tried your keyboard but when using french azerty it doesn't appears correctly some keys are not themed, you have made it only for qwerty?

Yeah for qwerty and qwertz and a lot of others. I'll add it to azerty too in the future.
Great job on the keyboard! Sorry to be that guy but would it be really hard to make the material theme a darker shade? I have another material themed Google keyboard that's darker and I know I should just shut up and go use it then but it doesn't have the awesome number row like this one!
Tapped It!

I probably will never do that. Although I can give you the psd files if you have photoshop. I masked the buttons so that you can choose whatever color you want in notime. After that, you can use the xposed module Resflux to change the color and apply the pngs. Instead of having to recompile it and mod a lot of xmls.

Totally understand. I think I will have to accept the gifts that I have already received and stop asking for more ?

Well if the design you're talking about is really pleasing I do it. But if it's similar to the color palette of Google: Nope.
Yeah I was just talking about the standard material keyboard color that I'm sure you have seen but a solid black background for the keys instead with everything else the same would be badass!

Yeah, I thought so. Not really a fan of that one... Well, I'll do it cause I just have to revert the changes made to those folders. But it won't do it right now.
Meant to ask.....any other themes getting released?
I know the S5 theme is close enough(way better than Samsung gray), but not quite 006779.
The white is the same as blue on mine. Ah well, I'm using the teal anyway.
Anyway, it does work great on a 900P(Sprint).
Can you please share a version which supports Chinese input? Original Google keyboard doesn't support Chinese either

NICELOCK
Good Lock 2019 Launcher
What is NiceLock?
This app is only an alternative to main Good Lock app for the regions that it is officially unavailable.
This app only acts as a launcher for modules. Goodlock modules has to be installed separately. You can check apkmirror, sammobile etc or use this mega folder: https://mega.nz/#F!7sslhAYD!4lLr__aLuJEk3_A1t8ggdw.
As badlock app missing some modules, I decided to create this project as a quick alternative.
This app will be updated as Samsung adds new modules.

Thanks for feedback guys. Now the app updated an now live on play store. Make sure you check it out! :fingers-crossed:
App is updated again. Enjoy!
Wonderful app!
Bought the PAID-version yesterday, @xantrk
Good job... :good:
Is v2.2 already in the PlayStore? Yesterday it was only 2.0...
Future request: could you change the icon to a little bit "Good Lock"-style?

Thank you so much for your support!
I pushed v2.1 and 2.2 to free version mainly because ad library caused some crashes on some devices. Paid was unaffected so I waited a bit the see if new one is perfectly working. It should be live on paid one soon, with small improvements.
Icon was a little bit "rushed". But good news, xda user @supergrobi94 has sent me a surprise which he did in his free time. It will come with the next update soon. Here is a quick preview, how do you like it?

Looks great (had hoped it would be more like the "original Good Lock icon")
Will see your update soon for the paid app :good:
Future request 2, @xantrk : Add a DARK-mode to your app (would be nice), and maybe (if it's not to difficult) OneUI-style

Will try to get dark mode for the next one, shouldn't be so hard. But oneui style needs some work I guess. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for suggestions ?

New build with dark mode and grid layout should be live on Beta channel in an hour. If no issues, will roll out to stable tomorrow!
nice, about dark mode, why don't go fully black instead of grey? no big deal but better to take full advantage of OLED screen.

I tried to implement it but no luck . Probably something is hardcoded into theme, overriding my own color value. But doing my research about it.

You can push out the update: Google doesn't matter (some apps like "Phone Info" had pushed several updates last release!)
Got the paid version too.. Thanks & Congrats
It will be useful if the app trigger/help following up the updates of the modules..

Some people complained through feedback that they recieved too much updates over a short period of time, but I released it anyways. Should arrive in like half hour.

Hi, thanks so much for your support.
Since now im finished things I have in mind, I will take a look at what I can do about installs/update checks etc. Google Play policy is a bit strict around APK files but maybe I can find a workaround. It would make it easier for new users too. Thanks for the suggestion!

OMG: really? People are complaining about TOO many updates?
It's never OK: never an update -> complainers
Now also for too many updates...
Your app is getting better and better...
Tip: maybe add new functions to the PAID-version only...
