[Q] How to get further customisations - Note Edge Themes and Apps

Hey guys, over on the Post Your Homescreen thread, there are a number of people running stock roms but with a different colour notification shade and no "S Finder" or "Quick Connect" icons. I would love to have that. They say to do that, you'll need Xposed and Wanam but as far as I know, Xposed isn't working for stock Lollipop roms at the moment which is what I'm running. Is there a workaround that I'm not aware of?
Also, how can you change the icon theme on the Edge bar? Thanks a lot for your help!

Don't know about the buttons.
But the icons on the edge follow the touchwiz theme. So if you are rooted, you can use one of the apps to change the touchwiz icons, which then changes them on the edge as well.
If you are using, say Nova, this means you can actually have one icon pack for the homescreen, and one for the edge.
I use Galaxy icon themer, which works fine on Lollipop. There are a couple others, but I think they need xposed, which, as ypu said, is a problem on TW lollipop right now.

What model of Note do u have? if have 915G id recommend Alliance ROM can customize just about everything, or if have 915G or 915F then run Emotion Kernel which after you can install Xposed

Thanks for the tip! I wonder how I never came across them. I do have the 915G so the Alliance ROM sounds perfect. I just have a couple of questions though:
1. They didn't mention anything about the possibility to remove the Quick Connect button in the notifications shade, only the S Finder. Do you know if it's possible?
2. Any known bugs and issues? (since it's in BETA)
3. I've been having this problem "Unfortunately, Package Access Helper has stopped" when trying to install big apps from Humble Bundle or Amazon (under 100MB are always fine though). Others seem to have this problem as well. Do you know if this ROM addresses this issue?
4. If I do a backup of my system settings in my current stock ROM (using Titanium), can I restore them after flashing the new one? It wouldn't create clashes or disrupt anything? This is something I always wondered about flashing new roms.
Thanks again for the help!

Heya,
1. in alliance can only remove both Quick connect and SFinder bar
2. Bugs: lockscreen effect don;t use ink, stick to tiles, the R from the clear button on the drop down menu is missing
3. Not had any issues downloading from Amazon, never tried Humble
4. Settings backup not good idea as Alliance ROM has changed settings options and I have found that generally best to start fresh
Apart from that had no issues myself

haha I see. I guess it'll all become more clear once I flash the ROM! Thanks again!
EDIT: Just spent the whole afternoon on this rom. Can't say I'm a fan. For some reason, I can't change the wallpaper. Even when I switch to Nova launcher and try to change it through there, the wallpaper still won't budge. There are also a lot of inconsistencies. For example, pretty much every theme I tried had some kind of problem with font colour being the same as the background in some menus, making it impossible to read. Usually appeared in the Reboot menu but some themes had it in other places too. Took me ages to finally find the right setting to fix that. Still getting the "unfortunately, package access helper has stopped" when downloading from sources outside of the Play Store with large apps (100MB or more, Amazon or Humble). I also encountered a problem with the sound mode toggle in the notifications shade. After switching the phone to vibrate only, I can't switch it back.
In the end, there just seem to be way too many options for what I need, which would've been fine if it weren't for the fact that it's so hard to find the options that I want. I'm gonna try the emotion kernel now

As far as changing the buttons and icons on the edge goes I just thought I'd throw this out there... I'm not sure about changing the look of the included factory edge panels if that's what you're asking, but there is an awesome app on Play that you can buy (which is a must have app for Note Edge owners imho) called "EdgeNavi Pro".. which let's you put practically whatever buttons you want on the edge and you can also "theme it" to however you like (there's also a free version which is limited but the full version is more than worth it especially with this phone). It doesn't have included "themes" so to speak but you can pick the color of the edge, change the icons of the buttons, pick the transparency, and so on. Anyway just thought I'd mention it because imo it's worth its weight in gold and it actually makes the edge worthwhile and useful finally. Hope it helps and here's a couple of pics just to give you an idea..

Wow....dropped to halfway down page two in a matter of hours. This device needs a separate forum for themes. There's just way too many "app" threads. I've never understood why we need app threads for a specific device anyway.
At any rate, this is my one and only bump. I'm not desperate for attention, just figured it dropped out of sight so quick, hardly anyone even got to see it
Looks good, thanks!
Any chance for a CM10 variant?
Is Jr5 and EOS close enough to stock for this to work?
n00b here, lol.
A.) this won't cause any issues with an un-themed launcher will it?
B.) you have to be rooted for this, right?
Sorry, i'm a PC themer, so i'm kind of new to the smartphone/tablet themeing thing.

A. Nope. Only way you should have the possibility of issues is if you've flashed something else over stock (different rom, mods, possibly a theme). A launcher, or any other app should never affect the theme or vice versa.
You'll notice I used the word "should" a lot there. That's because I make no guarantees. You should ALWAYS make a backup before flashing anything. Flukes happen and you don't want to be the guy having to scramble to find a way to fix their unresponsive phone.
B. Yup, have to be rooted and have CWM or some other custom recovery to flash anything. Rooting really isn't a big deal and can be easily reversed if you need to.

I'll say keeping even one custom rom up to date can be a pain, depending on how often the maintainer updates it. It's very likely I'll be switching from stock pretty soon, I just haven't seen much from the custom roms yet to give me a good reason (my tablet is already "buttery smooth" ). CM10 will be my most likely choice, but from looking from the commits, it's more AOSP and less CM right now.
As for i working on the other roms, this is an Odexed theme for not. I believe Jr5 allows you to reOdex using an app, so possibly for that one, but if the other one isn't Odexed it definitively won't work.

Definitely going to flash this! Thanks OP.
Wow, very nice! I noticed when downloading apps, instead of an arrow or something in the upper left corner, it bounces between some weird icon and the voice mail notification icon. Just an FYI, but the theme rocks! Very subtle and clean....great job!

I'd definitely like to fix this, but I'm not sure what you're describing and I don't see it myself. It sounds like this may be the voicemail notification, and since I use youmail I haven't seen it myself. I'll take a look at this possibility, but in the meantime if you could give me a screenshot or something, I'd appreciate it.
So I cant flash this over SGT7?

I'll probably make a deodexed version soon. SGT7 would probably be able to use that until he decides to make the UI selectable in Settings.apk. Then I'd have to make a special version for that rom.
The way I see it we have 3 basic rom types right now. CM10 based, stock odexed, and stock deodexed based. I may try to accommodate all three, but don't be disappointed if I can't support any further branching. Right now I have a few more things I'm looking to tweak before I start to support more roms.

Isn't SGT7 CM10 based?
Interesting... I went to download a ROM just to be able to take these screen shots. You can see the two icons that flash back and forth as the download progresses. I've included the full versions below just in case the 30Kb versions don't show well. Hope this helps! Either way, it's not a big deal at all!! Just thought I'd let you know =) Great job!

Thank you, I can reproduce it now, but can't explain it Seems like JB has changed something that doesn't make sense. Gives me a chance to isolate some image calls that have annoyed me anyway. This may take some time....
Nice.. Could we get the bottom nav bar icons blue too?

Will Post my 2 cent for the "New Features" Sony gave us with 4.2.2 here.
1. The Lockscreen and its Widgets.
For me absolutely useless and it looks like someone at the Sony Development Center is trying his first Steps. Why we need all these Methods to Enter the Camera?
For somebody who did not mentioned til now, if the Phone is Locked, Longpress Cam-Button will also Access Cam.
But the worst for me is the Look and Feel at all, a Lockscreen like a 2nd useless Desktop where nothing comes together, Terrible, in my Opinion.
The Way Google or CM does it is way better, easy and clean, but what Sony gave us here seems like an Alpha Build of a non Concept Thing.
Do your Homework Sony!
The Dialpad in Lockscreen, hm, in my Opinion the older One way better, so why we need that at this point of the System, where we can only enter Keys and Emergency Calls....don't Know...looks confusing.
2. Taskmanager and Small Apps.
In my Opinion, Beta also, Google mixed with Sony. Sonys Way before was Looking that they have had an Idea what they want to do, Now, it don't look like.
3. Status, Nav and Notification Bar.
The Toogles had have been there from first Build.....to have them now by Stock....very good....Best I've Seen in 4.2.2 from Sony.
The Way Sony goes with every new Build switching the UI, grey...black...half Transparent, Transparent....in my Opinion, give the User the Option to size and colour the Things for himself.
Conclusion:
Like great Philosophy says....to follow a Path you have to know where you want to be at the End. Don't make any Path your Target.
I'am very happy that the People, Developers in this Forum are existent and trying to make our Devices work for us.

Indeed thank you for posting. Wanted to say not a full day yet but so far so good.
It's always nice to try something new out now and then. This ROM included VVM
which for a CM hybrid or any CM based ROM is a first for me. It works too!
USB OTG works somewhat. Plugged in one usb stick and said it was damaged.
Different phone with TW no issue with the same usb stick. Haven't tested MHL yet.
So far battery life has been above my expectation. Still need to reformat
my ext. SD and give a week and see how battery goes. Again thanks for posting :good:

Ran this for the last few days. For the most part, it's been very nice but I have run into a few things. Mainly it seems when running certain games or when connected to my car via bluetooth for music playback it will just completely freeze. The audio will still play but the screen freezes and I cannot back, hit home or long press home to kill it. Because of how much I have to be in the car I am switching back to plain CM 10.2 for now but will be watching and testing this going forward.

Do we need to do a full wipe?

Looks great I was hoping for a flashing weekend.
Not yet. Sorry. I did wipe and return to stock then flashed plain cm 10.1. I wiped again and reflashed this back over that and everything seems much better if not near perfect now though. It may have been something weird with coming back from a 4.3 ROM to 4.2.2(even though I always wipe and go from scratch.

This seems to be a problem I also have. Flashing stock, CM 10.1 and again Chameleon. Being a few days now,
has it seemed to help any or has the freezing come back? Curious because I would never have thought to do that.
Though I know rom's sometimes need to be flashed a certain way. Any feedback would be great.
Other than this issue I have been getting pretty good battery life. Call quality is good. Overall it's a pretty good rom.

[THEME][4.3]SC86's Nocturnum beta FullDux Mod [2-22-14]

Android v4.3
I started modding the DUX theme I found for the Galaxy S4. Right now, its base is the DUX, but I've Modded a lot of the icons and things you see a lot while using your device throughout the day. Notification icons. Status bar icons. Power menu icons. Framework background. Etc.
I've also changed some user app icons that you may use. If you use these apps and want them Modded as well, before you flash the zip you must convert those apps to system apps from within titanium backup, or whichever app you'd like.
These are the apps which I have Modded so far :
Ttorrent
Tmo visual voice mail
Lux
Power amp
There is also an icon change for the dark version of gmail I have installed from the dbmods aroma installer.
Will mod more as time passes, and I'm going to try to figure out how to avoid converting them.
I'm continuing to build this theme, and plan on having Modded it in its entirety within the next couple months.

This is for 4.3?

Yes. 4.3
This should be in themes.
Looks good tho. Nice work
Theme is looking great. Very nice work! Icons are sharp and well defined. Did notice that the settings check boxes (when unchecked) have a black gap in the box frame (where the check mark goes when enabled). Driving mode and blocking mode notifications are also white when enable. Maybe a little less clear on the notifications backdrop and some options in switching keyboard colors and backgrounds. This being a BETA thread, I thought I would mention these for improvement in the future.
TIA for the work put into this.
Thanks for the info.
The keyboard will be changed. As will the dialer n contacts. I'm still in beginning stages.
If your talking about the check box having a small gap in the top right when unchecked. It's supposed to be that way. However, I DID notice when it's pressed down, there's a different type of icon it calls to. I'm going to have those check boxes throughout the entire ui and Framework including the settings.
I haven't messed with the blocking mode or driving mode Notification icons. Never use them myself, but I'll look into it. Shouldn't be an issue since that's system app territory.
I haven't learned how to compile a flashable zip from scratch yet. When I do, I don't think I'll have to have people convert apps to system apps in order to theme them. They don't flash the same way with the zip I have. Still learning, and still working on the theme.
I'll be updating it frequently, since I'm basically tuning it to my device as I go. I do a little each day. In order to track specific things I want to change, takes time digging through the system folders, although at this point I've got a pretty good idea where things go.
I did post a thread in the themes section though, it's link is in my signature, This thread can be closed if a mod gets around to it.

Where you get the floating keyboard?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Samsung keyboard. hold the button on the bottom left, one key to the right of the "Sym" key.
Choose the floating keyboard option. You can change that button to pull up the mic, the keyboards, the hand writing pad and even the clip board.

Rounded AOSP style statusbar icons + AOSP navbar

So I saw this idea somewhere a while back (reddit I think) and decided to try my hand at making these rounded AOSP style icons.
These zips only swap out the png's for the data and wifi statusbar icons unless otherwise stated. Everything else on the statusbar is left as is.
This is made with VRtheme and it works with certain roms and not with others, i'm not sure why. It shouldn't break anything if it doesn't work, you'll just reboot to the same UI you had before. Confirmed working on LeeDroid 7.4.
Flash in recovery, clear cache & dalvik before flashing. Nandroiding before flashing is always a good idea.
Special thanks to Basil3 for helping me with VRtheme.

Is the NavBar set in that way, or can I have the back button on the left hand side and the window switcher on the right as is default?

It's not set that way, thats just the way I prefer it. The icons will be in whatever order you have them arranged in your settings.. it just replaces the pngs. Don't worry I'm not trying to be a navbar Nazi and dictate how you use your phone lol.
Hmm. Tried flashing twice on ARHD 4.1 but it isn't working. Anyone else tried with this ROM?
What would be the correct way to put these into an HTC theme? I applied it and it was great for the default, but when I put a different theme in they went away. Is there a directory I could put these in?
*edit* I am talking about the navbar icons specifically

That rom is odexed right? Don't think it works on odexed roms. Deodex your fine, tested on M9 and M7.

Have you tried re-flashing after applying the theme? If you're using a HTC theme don't change the navbar icons (if that's an option, don't know much about them).
It does make you auto change the navbar icons, and they aren't part of the modular part of themes (font is, as well as a few other things. Disappointed by the number of things that are not modular, however). I'm gonna flash right now with the new theme and report back.
Update: Nope, did not work. Still seeing the updated icons from the theme (which for some reason decided having the home button be a cloud in front of the sun was a great idea. Oh, and having the recents button be mountains. It sucks that the rest of the theme is cool, because I really have a strong dislike for the navbar buttons)

Interesting... I've made a couple of themes based off my wallpaper (that aspect is cool), but it's never changed my navbar icons. That would be my solution- build your own. Other than that, if there's no way to edit your theme and select stock nav icons i'm not sure what to tell you...? Like I said I don't know much about them; don't care for most of them anyway. I agree that the ones you download are kind of "all or nothing" and need to be more customizable.

Well, the problem I have with making my own theme is that (I think) it doesn't turn your dialer dark, which kinda bums me out as the rest of my theme tends to be dark and I'd like as much of that as possible. And while the dialer SEEMS to be a part of that modular design, it only ever gives me the option of "default" unless the theme I have has a mod on it.
The HTC theme engine for Sense 7 is very weird in almost every way right now...hoping it gets smoothed out at some point. Thanks for your suggestions though! I'm gonna see if I can find a way to compromise (or poke around and get everything I want)

Dark dialer.. that would be cool. Maybe a future project.. but I have a move coming up and my time to spend on this is about get a lot tighter. Good luck in the mean time.
If you want to take it into your own hands, google how to decomile/recompile the SystemUI and start making your own edits I'm sure that dark dialer is just an xml edit somewhere.

It's deodexed according to the OP of the thread.
@Chronzy - Neither seems to be working with ARHD 5.0. It is a deodexed rom. What I notice is that the files are changed when I view the systemui.apk, but it doesn't actually change when you use the phone.

Strange indeed..
Sorry I don't have time to troubleshoot guys, days are very busy atm. I can confirm all of the mods I post are working fine on LeeDroid as of 7.2 (which I'm still running). Not sure about the ARHD problem, I thought it was odex/deodex issue but I guess not. If i get time in the near future maybe I can look into it.
Wish I could be of more help, thanks for your interest!

No problem. I just moved the files manually to the APK and it worked fine.
Updated with Slim fade style. Slimmed the border down, not as bulky.
I'm gonna work on how to make this universally flashable across all roms, still puzzled by it.

Hello, unfortunately does not appear to change the icons, but if I wanted to put them manually and replace the original? Could you tell me the path where they are?
