There's so many different themes and such out there that do different things, but generally are "too much" for what I'm looking for. What I'd like to find is something that could/would change everything in the evo to white text on black background. I don't need fonts or icons or anything else changed the way it looks. The skills that I'm guessing that would be required to do this I'm positive are way beyond anything I'm capable of.
Menus, settings, mms and google voice would be a huge plus too. I know the mms one has been done and I already have that. I'm assuming that it could be quite a project to go through just about everything and change them from a "flashlight" theme to something easier on the eyes in the dark.
I bought the weather and toggle widget and found the flip clock version that is the opposite of stock and it looks good but is a little heavy sometimes on the resources. If my memory serves me still, I remember the old school flip clocks being more light numerals and dark or colored background.
For those persons that enjoy doing this sort of thing, perhaps you might consider this project. I don't know how many other people out there like what I'm describing. If there were quite a few, maybe that would be an incentive? I know money talks, so I will say ahead of time, I could only say to you "thank you for your hard work and skills."
P.S.
I sent google a request for adding the choice of light or dark theme (and attachments) to google voice, but going by what other people have said, it is most likely falling on deaf ears.
This idea has tutorial project written all over it.
I imagine a more or less monochrome UI with most just solid blacks and not much in the way of gradients, very plain and basic.
I think it would be cool, I really like simplicity/minimalism.
What I mean by the tutorial comment is: For ANYONE even half way interested in learning how to theme and mod this would be a great place to start, for the following reasons..
- Most of the mods would be super easy, there is a wide variety of difficulty levels in theming and the easiest of them will be SIMPLE for anyone who has basic computer skills
- Learning to theme (if you enjoy this stuff) is fun because you build on what you know. It''s almost like a video game in that you do/learn things in levels. There is a dossier (guides, wiki's, google, other forum members, etc.) where you learn what you need to know before you begin the next level (achieving the mod you want to do). You fight through the pawns (editing images, xml's, smali's, etc) to get to the boss (flashing, morphing, testing your mod) and when you defeat the boss you have a sense of accomplishment that is almost immediately replaced with the next level
- The sheer simplicity of this themet lends it to being a community project
For anyone who wants to spend more "quality" time with this hobby and learn more about the platform I think this theme is a great opportunity
*edit- People collaborate a lot on this site and others but I've never personally seen a collaborative theme project. I wonder what the best way would be to (if anyone is interested in it) house everything in an open repository..
Hi Guys This is a guide on app design guidelines.This can be applied everywhere and not only app design. I have seen many apps that perform awesome but their UI scares people away! This won't be a very detailed guide, only basic pointers on UI Design.
First off i would like to say that User experience and functionality of the app is equally or more important than it's UI. There's no point in a app that has a awesome looking UI but is very laggy or lacks functionality.
Lets begin with a few tips :
Try to make the UI simple and clean with no extra clutter.Hide extra functionality in menus. Keep the main function of the program in the front.
Make the UI flat.Use subtle gradients and shadows. Don't make it too flat like the metro ui,in which you can't distinguish an icon from a button
Use a specific color scheme. Select two to three lead colours. and select 1 or 2 background colours.
Either make it dark themed, or light themed, don't mix the two!
Use transitions. But not too fancy.
Split your app into different parts and provide a easy way to navigate
Fix Whatever you can behind the scenes
Use short Phrases, No one wants to read too much to do a simple task!
Use pastel colours or darker colours. ie. one shade lighter or darker than the original color.
Have contrast between the text color and the background color, making it easier to read.
Tricks :
Don't waste much time making animations. Use LayoutTransitions (android 3.0+)
Test your apps on different screen sizes.
Download the color swatches provided by google -click here
Google is your friend. Go to developer.android.com for more guidelines, application fundamentals etc.
Use good typography. Roboto and helvetica are some of the good fonts. Download roboto - click here
Guide on iconography - click here
Warnings! :
Do not use harsh gradients! for eg.. black to white , It makes the app feel cheap.
Try and stay away from putting ads
Do not let the app make decisions for itself, let it ask the user!
Do not make the app too colourful.
Make sure it runs smooth without jitter.
Don't put too much info. at once!
Don't use too flashy colors that hurt the eye.
Again, this isn't meant to be a very long guide, just a few basic things you should keep in mind while designing. For more detailed guidelines use developer.android.com
If i missed something important let me know! :good:
That's really helpful..

Hello there, thanks for this guide.
I am no developer so I don't have to mess with the graphics, but I still often wonder : in android programming, where there will always be the probrem of multiple display size / resolution, why isn't the most primary & most basic guideline to use as much as possible vector graphics instead of bitmap based graphics ? wouldn't it save a huge amount of hassle of having to make gfx resources for different screen sizes ?
thx in advance

Maybe it would be easier.
However, you would need a proper library to do that. Android does not support adding *.svg vector graphics by default. So all the conversion of the vector graphics need to be done manually. (There are some libs out there, but they do not support all features of *.svg graphics.)
For basic things there is support to do that using the standard Android development APIs provided by Google (declaring drawables in xml files) but it will not be enough for shapes which are more complicated than lines, rectangles or circles or a combination of those.
Addititionally the conversion of vector graphics to bitmaps (graphics consisting of single pixels) would need much processing power and would slow everything down.
Hence *.png and *.9.png files are still the standard way to do that.
@TechMasta: By the way, great guide.

No ads? How does one go about monetization then? Don't get me wrong. I'm a Windows and Windows Phone developer. I was thinking of porting my apps to Android. I'm just getting started. But I'm using Windows Azure for which I do have to pay for. How should I go about those expenses?
TechMasta said:

Sometimes it should. However, the user should be able to change the default behaviour. Or as the android design guidelines express it:
Decide for me but let me have the final say
Take your best guess and act rather than asking first. Too many choices and decisions make people unhappy. Just in case you get it wrong, allow for 'undo'.

You can put ads if you want. Just don't bombard the user with them, place them in a way it does not interrupt or come in the way of the user when he is using your app

With google's plugin for eclipse you can add your graphics in multiple resolutions by Copying your layout from "layout" folder of resources and paste it in the "layout-land", "layout-xlarge" etc.

Thank you for this information about web design. Really nice.
Good set of tips for the first version of an app!
The next level of designing should ideally be with testing different design variations via split testing.
Making Decisions
TechMasta said:

Hai,
Thanks for your guide. But I am having a different opinion from one of your warnings.
Let the app make decisions by itself, for example when user deletes an item DELETE it. But do provide an option to UNDO it. Showing another dialog to confirm it, in your words "ask the user", is redundant.
Because providing too many options makes the user overwhelmed in an unexpected way. Choose the best/defaults for your app and provide some ways to configure them [Ex : Colors, Themes, Font size etc]

G Theme 3
Click me for Video Promo
t's back!!! This is G Theme 3. Why G Theme you ask? Well I think you can figure that out when you use it what it's all about. This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! G Theme 3 is a dark theme with beautiful colors and designs throughout it. The Dark Notifications compliment the ui and battery life! This theme supports adaptive icons and I recommended choosing circle which is unlocked as a feature and can be accessed from going into the settings application and then going into display, home and choose the icon shape. Due to this the music app does have a light overlay at the bottom which is a bug that LG should address!!! For real LG fix that will ya.
Now this is the important part. This theme is only for LG devices running UX 8, Android 9.0 pie. If you are running a different LG UX or android version this will not work and if you upgrade from the above this theme may not work properly. It is presented on an "as is basis". I do my best to try and update to allow for the theme to function on all devices as best I can and as soon as I can. However due to LG's interesting update cycle sometimes one device may update prior to others.
To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select G Theme 3, and push apply! then reboot and then reapply the theme again. It's a bit more in depth than other themes but given the complexity of this premium theme it is required for all elements to be themed properly.
That's it! Simple, easy and quick.
If you're using the V40 or any other UX8 device that doesn't have the seamless wallpapers here's a link to one which will change to the one shown in the theme upon applying the theme! For those that do already have seamless wallpapers you will see this new option now available in your list of delectable seamless wallpapers instead of the silly pink one that was previously there.
Seamless Wallpaper right Here!!!
Please note that refunds will not be given for installations on non LG G8 or LG V40, LG 50 UX 8 (running Pie) Devices. As the title of the theme clearly indicates which device this is for and this app description does specify which OS version is supported..
This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution, with the lowest stock setting for the actual display size. Larger sizes may cause some elements to look slightly off. If this happens please lower the display sizes of the iconography.
If you run into any issues please send me an email directly instead of leaving a poor rating. Often I am very quick to reply and great to solve any issues. The review system is not meant to be a support channel!
Thank you so much for your support and I hope you enjoy this theme. I've worked extremely hard on this and by far it was the most challenging and time consuming project I've ever made!
Twilight
See bottom of description for Quick Settings and Dialer Add-on Patches!
This is Twilight an LG Home+ theme for your LG V20, G6, V30, G5 running Oreo only (Pie is not yet supported!!!) This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! Twilight is a dark theme with bright gradient accents throughout. This theme does not support adaptive icons as some of the key features of this theme are blocked by enabling the adaptive icons. If you'd prefer adaptive you will need to use a 3rd party launcher like Hyperion.
3rd party Quick Settings Icons:
Some apps allow the user to add a shortcut activity to the quick settings panel. This is not supported by this theme whatsoever. If you decided to add any icons to your quick settings panel they will not show up. They will be 100% transparent. They cannot be added. If this bothers you then in a future update I will make an add-on quick settings patch that will add usability back for them, however it will sacrifice the creativity of the current structure of both styles of available quick settings icons. It will be more minimal and all the icons will be the same color like how most themes are. Due to the complexity and advanced nature of this theme this is something that I am aware of and have embraced 100%.
To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select Twilight, and push apply!
Please note that refunds will not be given for installations on non LG V20, G6, V30, G5 Oreo Devices. The title of the theme clearly indicates which device this is for and the description also specify which OS version is supported..
This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution, with the lowest stock setting for the actual display size. Larger sizes may cause some elements to look slightly off. If this happens please lower the display sizes of the iconography.
If you run into any issues please send me an email directly instead of leaving a poor rating. Often I am very quick to reply (unless I'm sleeping and you're in a different time zone) and great to solve any issues. The review system is not a direct support channel!
Quick tip... Search and install the app "Quick Shortcut Maker" on google play. Install, then set a 1x1 quick shortcut maker widget and drag it on your home screen. Then in the activities tab, scroll down to "Themes", expand it. touch 1st option at the top of the list that doesn't have and upwards arrow. Hit Create" button at the bottom and now you have a themes app shortcut.
This theme as you can see from the screen previews shows two different styles of Quick Settings icons. This is because I designed both styles and had a tough time deciding on which ones to go with so I decided to make them both. Minimum are default. If you wish to change them simply install the corresponding patch to the style that you want. After you've installed the patch, apply the default LG theme. Then reboot and reapply the theme. If you wish to change back the original style you can repeat the above process using the other patch. I've uploaded and clearly labeled both patches. They can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288986
There is also a patch for the V20/G5 and G6/V30 for the dialer. Because these devices have a different screen resolution I could not make a universal round dialer app. I had to make it just plain black by default but you can install a patch for it as well. These are in the same folder as the quick settings add-ons in the above link. To apply them follow the same steps. V20/G6 Dialer: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288982
V30/G6 Dialer: ttps://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=288984
Thank you so much for your support and I hope you enjoy this theme. I've worked extremely hard on this and by far it was the most challenging and time consuming project I've ever made!
Pixel Experience Dark
Welcome to the dark side. This is Pixel Experience Dark! Including dark notifications! I'm really proud of this and how it turned out! Please take the time to read the app description as there is some important information in there for your benefit which will help you get the best experience out of this theme! Also in the description are optional patches which are theme specific!
So go get it and please drop me a quick rating and if you'd also be so kind to give this a quick share too that would be great!

You will need ADB installed on your pc: Right here
You will also need the substratum app as well as the Andromeda app and the Desktop client for Andromeda
This thread is for support and feedback for my LG Substratum themes and legacy LG themes. with the update to 8.0 Oreo substratum is now supported without rooting your device. Due to the capabilities with Substratum all previous LG themes will be referred to as "Legacy themes" and the primary focus has shifted to Substratum. Since substratum can provide everything that an LG theme can provide and more it makes the most sense to evolve and transcend into the more advanced theming system.
So this is my first theme "Alpha". It has a double meaning and I feel is appropriate for this theme. Let's stop with the chit chat and post a few screenshots and if you're looking for a way to pass the time then keep reading! I promise you the literature doesn't get any better, but have at it!
PixTerial
Hey Guys, soooooo I've got a couple themes updated from my V20 thread that are now working on the G6 so I figured it would be easiest and more organized if I made my own thread here so that I can offer support and obtain user feedback on my themes. Please note that right now not all of my V20 themes will be updated to work on the G6. Some of them will have to be separate themes as there are some issues with a few of them being ported over due to the style and a few other factors. Now I must get this next bit out of the way to make it clear what the purpose of this thread is. 1: I am not here to sell my work whatsoever and that is not the purpose of this thread. Posts regarding updates, screenshots or other communication are strictly for the purposes of obtaining feedback on what I do. and to see if users are pleased with said changes. 2: I will never post a direct link to anything I make that is paid as that is not allowed and I expect that as users you will not post links either.
My V20 thread is a fantastic thread and I encourage you all to check it out at some point if you wish to see how I interact with people. Don't be shy about commenting or giving suggestions or feedback provided it is constructive and is done in a mature and professional manner. Feel free to joke around a bit and have some fun. That's what it's all about anyway. It's a very positive and fairly active thread. Users often give me feedback which is incredibly valuable and also post pics of any bug fixes. That allows me to quickly address issues.
First things first to any mods who may be peeping it is important to note that I am complying with xda rules and there are zero paid direct links posted anywhere in this thread by me. So there are no rules being violated. Rule 11 states that I can use xda to get user feedback on paid applications and that is what this thread is for so I am well within rule 11 which can be found here:
11. Don?t post with the intention of selling something.
Don?t use XDA to advertise your product or service.

So this thread is for all those who are using any of my themes where we can come discuss things, give feedback and post screens etc of what I've been working on. I will continue to add new themes and post screens of my work here and interact with all of you. Remember, I ask that you be civil to myself and other members and keep any feedback constructive.
This is PixTerial. This theme is what happens when you combine Pixel Ui with some Material Design and add in some darkness! It's a very clean theme with subtle animations, with an inverted ui of the Pixel Ui. Now throw in some fresh and fun iconography and you have a beautiful theme to enjoy.

Aurora is the follow up to G Theme. I was inspired by watching a show on Netflix in which every so often the camera would pan to show the Northern lights and that gave way to this idea. The results is my interpretation via theme design. I hope you like it!

If you'd prefer adaptive you will need to use a third party launcher like Hyperion or Nova.
No need to run a third party theme system any more, just use the system theme chooser and you can enjoy all the benefits of an advanced theme system.
To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select Rain, and push apply! then reboot and then reapply the theme again. It's a bit more in depth than other themes but given the complexity of this premium theme it is required for all elements to be themed properly.

Oh hey everyone! Again, I didn't see ya there. You just snuck right up on me now didn't ya bud. Well it's that time again. Another new beautiful LG device is upon us and I had to get it. So it must mean it's time for another fun theme discussion and feedback thread. Now I must get this next bit out of the way to make it clear what the purpose of this thread is. 1: I am not here to sell my work whatsoever and that is not the purpose of this thread. Posts regarding updates, screenshots or other communication are strictly for the purposes of obtaining feedback on what I do. and to see if users are pleased with said changes. 2: I will never post a direct link to anything I make that is paid as that is not allowed and I expect that as users you will not post links either.
My V20 and G6 threads are absolutely fantastic and I encourage you all to check it out at some point if you wish to see how I interact with people. I cannot thank you all enough who have supported me and given me feedback and interacted with me in any way to discuss things theme related. Don't be shy about commenting or giving suggestions or feedback provided it is constructive and is done in a mature and professional manner. Feel free to joke around a bit and have some fun. That's what it's all about anyway. It's a very positive and fairly active thread. Users often give me feedback which is incredibly valuable and also post pics of any bug fixes. That allows me to quickly address issues.
First things first to any mods who may be peeping it is important to note that I am complying with xda rules and there are zero paid direct links posted anywhere in this thread by me. So there are no rules being violated. Rule 11 states that I can use xda to get user feedback on paid applications and that is what this thread is for so I am well within rule 11 which can be found here:

Now you probably didn't bother to read that crap above so let's just post some screenshots shall we?
Hey Guys, soooooo I've got a couple themes updated from my V20 thread that are now working on the G6 so I figured it would be easiest and more organized if I made my own thread here so that I can offer support and obtain user feedback on my themes. Please note that right now not all of my V20 themes will be updated to work on the G6. Some of them will have to be separate themes as there are some issues with a few of them being ported over due to the style and a few other factors. Now I must get this next bit out of the way to make it clear what the purpose of this thread is. 1: I am not here to sell my work whatsoever and that is not the purpose of this thread.

G Theme
G theme is a Googley style theme with some added flair and bright icons! You will experience some fun animations and lots of visually stimulating elements

G Theme Dark
This is G Theme Dark. A Googley dark style theme with some added flair and bright icons! You will experience some fun animations and lots of visually stimulating elements
You know what the G is for and that is what the backbone of this is. What you will find is the high standards and attention to the small details that you have come to expect from my designs. I have integrated some very familiar and comfortable designs and added some bright and colorful flare to really make it pop! This is the second of a Two part series.
G Theme Dark is absolutely gorgeous. It is pixel perfection with all the little details you've been wanting in a theme. You can stop looking for that one theme, it is here.

Pixel UX
Need a new theme??? ...............Like new new?
The world's first G6 light theme with true material keyboard new?
Welcome to Pixel UX. This is my take on the Pixel color pallet. What you will find is the high standards and attention to the small details that you have come to expect from my designs. I believe I have preserved the look quite nicely in a soothing and all familiar style that deep down you have longed for. So let's transform your phone into something new.
This is not a 100% complete replica of every element of the Pixel as there are limitations to what can be done in a light theme. There are a few elements such as the quick settings that must remain light. I have pushed this theme as far as it can be pushed and no other designer would even attempt such a difficult style. You will also see the first ever material style keyboard on presented via LG keyboard. Many have attempted but not achieved the correct look. These high standards are what I set for myself to give you the best possible experience and the highest quality of themes and support.
Here's some screen shots of the theme.
Remix Ui
This is Remix UI.
Experience the perfection in every pixel with the most stunning and incredibly clean theme for your G6. You won't find this type of quality anywhere else. This is the original LG Theme remastered to give you the rich style you've come to expect. Remix is a dark theme with crisp blue tones throughout. You will experience shadows, material details and original icons.
Perfection...
Professional...
Premium...

Here's some screen shots of the theme.

Dark Material
Enter the Madness that is Dark Material, a premium overlay theme. You will find an appropriately designed dark material style with pixel icons. This theme is crisp, soothing and visually stunning. Official material color palettes utilized to give you that spot on exact color scheme to enjoy. As always I have include perfect iconography throughout the overlays and included icon back for unthemed apps to give more of the pixel feel that has been requested. Dark Material holds up that pixel perfection and high standards you've come to know and expect. Dark Material pushes the envelope on what can be done in a theme and builds on new original ideas and unheard of concepts that has yet to be done by anyone else. You will be introduced to some of the most intricate, dynamic and challenging code based images that have ever been done or attempted.
Minimal....
Darker....
Cleaner.....
Material Design.
Here's some screen shots of the theme.

nXt
Welcome to the nXt experience. This is unlike any other theme with designs no other designer has even attempted. You will notice that with this experience you have the illusion of a slightly rounded edge screen running from the top to bottom. You'll notice that not even the navigation or status bar interferes with this. This is an in your face theme with dark tones and rich blue accents. It is accompanied by rich icons with an exaggerated material edging and shading yet it still remains clean and in your face.
I have included an overlay for the LG stock Calculator app. However there are a few hoops to jump through should you wish it to be themed. If you're using a version of the LG Calculator please uninstall it and then install this one here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634796912
On stock theme this will not be affected but if you use nXt then you'll have the app icon themed as well as the text color for history corrected. Please note that LG does not normally allow this application to be themed.
Here's some screen shots of the theme.
G Theme 2
This is G Theme 2. You know what the G is for and that is what the backbone of this is. What you will find is the high standards and attention to the small details that you have come to expect from my designs. I have integrated some very familiar and comfortable elements and added some bright and colorful flare to really make it pop! This is the third chapter in the G Theme series.
G Theme 2 is absolutely gorgeous. It is pixel perfection with vectored iconography with all the little details you've been wanting in a theme. You can stop looking for that one theme, it is here.
G Theme 2 brings you crisp and clean and redesigned icons, stunning animated check and radio selectors overhauled from the ground up featuring a morphing design that flourishes, as well as an appropriate long shadow being cast as well as the retraction. The quick settings icons and settings icons features long shadows and the floating action button has been redesigned and implemented throughout the theme. And the keyboard has been reconstructed to replicate the new dark G board style with boarders.
Echo
Please take a minute or two and read this. There are a few things that will help you out if you're lost or confused on a couple things.
This is Echo. What make this theme unique is that it the first and original theme to truly invert the stock ui while retaining features no other theme can do. Echo is all about choice. As the user you should be able to choose if your icons have the default icon frame background or not. You should be able to choose if your navigation bar is white or black... Personally white isn't my thing for this theme but hey it's there if you want! Please don't rate me 1 star and send me a silly message if your navbar is white when you apply this! It may be white if you have it set to be white in settings! As I said it's all about choice so you can set it how you like!
The calendar and clock icons are dynamic in this theme too! And the setting icons will retain the colorful backgrounds they were meant to have! No other theme out there can even come close to giving these to you in such a beautifully inverted style. There are also subtle changes where I felt a few things could be improved from the default light theme.
This theme is meant to run at high resolution only. I do not support lower resolutions and it is not recommended to set it below QHD! This theme is only compatible with UX 6 or UX 6+. Unfortunately I will not be making a UX 5 version of this theme for those wondering as there are too many things that cannot be done on it.
Dark Aosp
It's been a long time coming for this one and today the time has come for Dark Aosp to come to your V30 and G6!
This theme utilizes the dark mode settings found in vanilla Android with a few twists based on your feedback. It is clean, minimal and a very smooth experience. It is also the only theme that uses a true material minimal keyboard, simulating the flat style found in the stock Aosp or Google keyboard!
I hope you will enjoy this one and if you do please take a minute to drop a rating and comment too!
Awesome. Thanks for doing this.

I'll have my G6 in hand tomorrow so I can really get cracking. Very excited to redo a new an improved Remix and Vector! Those two should be badass whem I'm done!
The "screen shot" of the theme doesn't show up in the theme app. Just fyi if you didn't know. Bought the dark nougat. Thanks for your work.

Oh dear! Nice to see you here also and hopefully I see a few familiar and some new faces too! Yes sir I'm keeping my V20. I love it. first phone I had no desire to root! I plan on fully supporting both devices. I can't wait until this time tomorrow! Bell was supposed to start selling them today before the S8 announcement but all the stores I called were like..."uh yeah we have them but I don't know if we can sell them yet...would you like to pre order one?" smh lol!

I've tried to do without root and I struggle. How do you block ads? It seems the apps that block ads do not work as well as the scripts you can run when rooted. How do you back up apps with data? These are two things I have trouble doing without.
