[MOD][UNIVERSAL] BLACKED OUT Menus + optional extras for 4.2 (UPDATED 12/20/12) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I noticed there was a lack of patches that black out the menus for 4.2 because google switched from png to xml files for the menu backgrounds so I made a patch that patches the xml in framework-res. This is universal and should work in any 4.2/4.2.1 and any future version. Just install metamorph or zipthemer and apply the theme.

This should work. I haven't tested it so make a nandroid if your worried but I see reason why it won't work. It used this script for other patches with no problem. let me know if it works and I'll add it to the OP.

Updated the mod so that its actually completely black. I had to switch the background object from a gradient to a solid in the xml as the gradient setting actually used a really dark grey even though I set it to black.

Can you make the menus and popups black also? That way, all the main UI is blacky

The ZipThemer version worked for me. Thanks a lot for sharing, OP!

Awesome! Thanks for this - it bugged me so much in 4.2 that here i was decompiling framework-res and editing the .xml - 'cause i didn't know that Zipthemer could replace .xml files - i thought it only did graphics!
Big thanks for not only making my life easier... but teaching me something new!

Yeah the secret is to decompile and then make your changes and then recompile. Then use 7-zip to take the compiled xml file out of the new apk. You can then put that into a zipthemer/metamorph file.

Oh ya. Perfectly. Thanks again. Love it. I run mmuzzy and it is stock hence no theme chooser. So this is the next best thing to customize the appearance of the ui. I use icons from the deviant art sight, battery and soft key mods and this. It works out well. And oh ya the zooper widget from market. Pretty cool customizable widget. Lock screen compatible.

Yup, No problem. I like simple mods like this and things that don't change the ui too much. I personally run cm10 jellybro at the moment. I just feel that too many themechooser themes go overboard and add a million custom icons that a lot of the times look crappy.

If you're using AOKP, when you're on the crop screen after selecting the file, move the selection box to the top left, then expand it as large as it can go. That way, the icon will be applied at the correct size.

Thank you but those will be with another theme i'm doing with a blue color similar to ics but better (different than the meed-night blue of dream blue).
And then after i finish theming every app (dialer, contacts, camera, launcher) i'll release it.
After the complete base is ready i can do different color for the theme cause those
icons fit really well with almost all color combinations.

MIUI v4 Beastly Black Theme

Hi all,
This is an MIUI v4 theme I've made mostly from scratch (some credits at the bottom of the description). Its basically similar to stock, but where there was white and orange there is now black and blue respectively. I've also sorted out the fonts so there should be no white on white or black on black text issues.
I've not done all of the applications yet, but have done the main ones:
- Framework and Framework-MIUI: Basically themes the majority of the system and native files. This also themes any app that uses stock images.
- SystemUI: Toggles and notification bar etc
- MMS: SMS and MMS messages etc
- Phone and Contacts: Address book, dialler, in-call menus etc.
This is my first ever theme. Its only been tested on a Galaxy Nexus although I have themed the HDPI and XHDPI folders so it should work on most devices - if not let me know the details.
I'm not sure how many more apps I will theme as its quite time consuming. It all depends on whether there are people out there who like this and want to see more or whether I'm doing this only for myself. If you want me to theme any more apps, post a comment on Deviant Art ideally saying you likey. Comments welcome.
DOWNLOAD LINK: http://originalsource.deviantart.com/art/Beastly-Black-MIUI-v4-326473269 When you download change the file extension from .zip to .mtz and then copy into your device's Theme folder.
Credits...
Wallpaper isn't mine. It's called Sparkle and I thought I got it from DA or InterfaceLIFT, but I cannot find it. If anyone can, please let me know so I can give the appropriate credit.

Thank you.
I went to MIUI hoping for something like this but every theme I tried didn't work properly on the Galaxy Nexus. Figured if no-one else was going to do it I would. Its just soooo time consuming. Not helped because I'm not particularly talented - just persistent and determined to get as much pixel perfect as possible.
I have noticed a few minor visual issues where other apps use part system resources and part of their own (therefore thinking they are gonna get a white background and so have a black icon, and then get white). This is mostly google apps, which I am planning on adding to a later release assuming the community wants me to continue.
Just wish there was a way to monetize this to make it more viable to spend the time to get everything just perfect.
It didn't let me flash it.

This is for MIUI only at the moment. You download the zip, change the extension to .mtz and copy into the Theme folder. And bingo, MIUI does the rest.
It probably is possible for me to create a flashable zip to just change the appropriate resources but I haven't really looked into it yet. Focus is on getting the MIUI theming sorted. Not all things will work obviously as stock Android doesn't have notification toggles etc.

Pleased you liked in. Have posted a minor update to sort out some of the toast popups, copy paste dialogue etc.
Have been struggling to try and find a way to fix the white on white on the gmail settings - no solution as yet though. Looks to be that the background is hard coded. Will try and find something to sort that one out.
It looks great but I'm unable to have it recognized in themes. I've been on miui for years and renaming it didn't work, running sgs3 miui v4...
Very odd. That's the first I've heard of that issue. Changed the extension from .zip to .mtz and copied to Themes folder right? Perhaps force close Themes and see if it appears when it re-opens.

FINALLY!!!!!! THIS IS AWSOME !! NO MORE ORANGE!!! DDD One thing, do you think you will design your own softkeys? Just my opinion, they dont really look right (current ones) Still, best theme out there for GNEX D
I might do eventually. Priority is getting the core apps sorted. Then the most commonly used ones in for XHDPI (G Nex). Then consider icons, wallpaper, lock screen, screen keys etc.
Stuck on gmail settings at the moment.
Any idea what type of thing you think would work well for screen keys?

[MOD] Custom Holo dark background ~ Do it yourself! [Any ROM]

I thought i would post this for everyone, even if it isnt a massive deal and probably not something most need... We were all noobs once, so if it helps someone get their phone a little closer to what they want... Or if it helps get someone into making a theme... Then i cant say having this up is a bad thing at all...
So its a simple MOD that will allow you to add your own holo dark images to any ROM... Yes, this will even work for those of you running a theme... Where you maybe don't like the holo dark image(s) used...
Simple instructions for a simple MOD...
- Download "MyBackground.zip" from here and save it to your computer!
- Download the "HoloImages.zip" from here and save it to your computer...
- Drag and drop the two images from "HoloImages.zip" onto your desktop and edit them however you like! (Id stay at 720x1280 or stock 500x500)

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Now open each Image and edit as you wish! I would recommend a simple program like GIMP or Paint.net to edit .png files...
- Once you have your image(s) just right, save them...
- Now open "MyBackground.zip" with 7-zip or WinRAR (WinfRAR seems to work better for VRtheme stuff)
- Go into:
Code:
vrtheme -> system -> framework -> framework-res.apk -> res -> drawable-nodpi
- Add your new images (it will override the current images)
- Once added, save "MyBackground.zip".... "As"... That means change the name of the zip and save it as a new file...
- Drop this into your phones storage and boot into recovery!
- Backup... Duh...
- Flash...
- Enjoy!
The absolute worst thing that can happen, is it simply won’t work... I suggest a backup, just because its a good idea... That said you really can’t even boot-loop if you follow the above... If the image(s) are named wrong, or the wrong file type... It simply won’t work... The holo background you had previous to a your flash... Will simply still be present..
NOTE: If your ROM had a transparent holo, this MOD will NOT break it... If you flashed a theme with a transparent level... Again this will NOT break it... Simply set your image(s) to the desired transparent level...

How it looks is completely up to you... All theme work is trial and error... What you think looks great on your laptop, may not look great in the background of your settings or dial keypad...
Here is a sample showing stock black... To a more Touchwiz blue... As i think this is where Samsung went wrong... A simple attempt to match their blue inside the background completely changes the look of Touchwiz... Its cleaner... Its vibrant... Its still classy...
But in the end, it really does loop back around to you as a user, and what you think looks good... I can post screen shots all day, and never once hit the mark with everyone...
Very well said, but the you actually did exactly what I wanted Lol. I wasn't sure exactly what our changes would replace, wasn't quite sure what holo dark images were. Thank you very much!

when trying to view the screenshots or previews they expand but nothing is displayed.

Are you sure? We have just checked and it worked for us, maybe you have some kind of ad-blocker on?

I can make it other colors once I get my computer set up again (could still be a few weeks), what shade of blue would you prefer?

To be honest, I couldn't tell ya. I'm mostly colorblind but I do love blue. Kind of a darker blue I guess. It might be called Royal Blue, but who knows. In my house i'm allowed to teach the kids any subject BUT colors! :silly:
Love the theme but can someone tell me how to delete?? It's nowhere in my downloaded apps or the all section

Mwahahahahaha!
Lol kidding, this zip replaces only images and nothing else so it doesn't have any apps or anything, you can either flash another theme, replace the stock apps from a ROM zip, or simply reflash your current ROM. Thanks for trying it out!

Sweet theme over in Note 3 Theme Section

In case some of you don't visit the main theme section, just flashed this into Darthstalker rom and it is really nice if anyone is looking for a change of scenery. Only problem is black text in messaging app so I can't see what I'm writing, guess I'll try another messaging app or if I can change it somehow lol. I just switched to Go Sms so I can enjoy the theme, keyboard is beautiful.

In framework, you guys can change the background to your liking. Just use 7zip and make sure the images you're replacing are the same size. Also, in SystemUI, the dropdown image. You can modify anything, as long as you don't share it. Personal use, out of respect for the creator.

Yep...either that or BackgroundXposed.apk. Both will do the trick!

Great find! Very beautiful theme. So far everything is working great. Only changes I've had to make is changing the color for the text input box in the messaging app so you could see the text since it was black on black. Also had to rename the launcher from SecLauncher3.apk to SecLauncher4.apk so it would theme the launcher. Other than that the little bit I've looked at it, it looks amazing. Thanks for posting.
Edit: One little thing I just noticed is the check box in the notification pull down for turning on auto brightness seems to be cutoff.

Hello Tiff. There's a few more things missisng, but I'm sure you already know, lol. Not all 21 emos in mms.apk were modified, not all images were changed, SystemUI doesn't have batt %, plus a few other things. The theme is very nice regardless, and I've done lots to it, adding/changing and modifying a few things here and there.
It's not a sin to modify other ppl's work as long as it's for personal use. I pm'd eladios to see if I could give a hand and mayb port it here, but I am still waiting on his approval. We will see. I am NOT gonna share what I have done...but it is out respect to the guy!
BTW...nice to see you still around, unlike me, that barely login. Cheers

Love the Theme , is anyone else getting occasional " Email has stopped" Or is it just me ...?
I hope that this can be Ported officially to our Phone , get some minor kinks out like the one i explained above , a few days ago i took the Plunge and decided to give this theme a shot , hoping not to get soft bricked ...and i'm sure glad i did , hopefully this can be updated and continue it's development .............This Theme ROCKS..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mine is working perfectly. I hope he gives his permission, I think he will as from what I've read he seems really cool. He did an amazing job, not much needs modifying. Definitely the background pic (thanks Wally), and a few small things. Love his choices for the icons. Perfect for me.
