Hello guys and galls,
I'm a big fan of dark backgrounds and after trying some themes made by others, as well as making my own - to suite my own preferences but also to make them work as good as possible (stable, no FC, no White on White (referred to, as WW) or Black on Black (referred to, as BB) and no interferences with other apps like Google) I here present you my final collection.
All included themes have been tested on the Canadian Note 4 (SM-N910W8) but they should be working on all Snapdragon variants.
DISCLAIMER:
As always, it is entirely your responsibility.
INSTALLATION:
Flash the zip file from recovery (TWRP, CWM or similar).
PREREQUISITES:
- rooted
- Snapdragon variants (no idea whether they work on Exynos)
- tested in a deodexed environment but they should also be working on odex ROM's (if you're odexed use a root explorer to delete/save the original SecSettings.odex by adding .bak at the end of the file name.
- the contained Contacts file is specific to the US variants. If you're installing the theme on a non-US variant, you have to either delete or append a .bak to the original file before flashing the theme - otherwise you'll end up with 2 Contacts files
GPE Theme was originally created by Brian (bri315317), I post it here with his permission and obviously all credits go to him.
GPE Theme features:
- Pure Black background/theme consistent throughout all the apps
- Modified apps: Samsung Music, Contacts, Messaging, Settings, Phone & Dialer
- 4-way reboot menu
- CRT screen off effect
- Screen capture (screenshot) and torch added on the Power off menu
Brian's themes however, were intended to be used within his ROM so in order to make them work independently I have slightly modified them and created 2 versions:
- GPETheme.zip: replaced the original SystemUI.apk (it was constantly crashing) with the unmodified deodexed equivalent, removed AirMessage.apk (didn't seem to be working outside Brian's Dynamic Kat ROM) and
- GPETheme_HomeWake.zip: same changes as above + I've modified the <PhoneWindowManager.smali> file under policy to force the Home button to wake up the phone (it makes sense if you're like me and use the finger scanner to unlock the phone). Note: Due to the original smali file enforcing the system-wide policy "Home-key-no-wake", known modifications done to the <gpio-keys.kl> file under system/usr/keylayout have no effect whatsoever.
NACO Device Default theme created by me uses Samsung's Device Default style/theme
NACO Device Default theme features:
- Samsung's Device Default background/theme (dark with blueish headers) - applied only to the affected apps
- Modified apps: Samsung Music, Contacts, Messaging, Settings, Phone & Dialer
- preserves original styles/themes of all the other apps not specifically modified for theming
- CRT screen off effect
CREDITS:
- Brian for GPE Theme
- sefrcoko for his (Canadian) deodexed ROM
Here are some screenshots of the NACO Device Default theme. I'll try to upload some screenshots of the GPE Themes later on - meanwhile you can see them on Brian's own post
