UPDATED: Manup Blue for Amon_RA 1.1.0H (23rdJuly)

Here is a ported theme that was originally done by Manup for Dude's G1 rom.
This is for those with a 32A phone and is the Amon_RA 1.0.1H rom.
I hope i have done it justice porting it. I have added a couple of my own preferences and will be adding more. It is a VERY works in progress.... a very quick port. Statusbar is now black. havent updated other shots.
This is template size so you can easily update it.
Theme includes latest launcher from Cyanogen with 5 home screens and extra apps in drawer.
I have also attached a matching dxtop theme if anyone is interested.
If you like it donate to manup456. He worked hard on this and deserves the full praise for it.
Grab it from here:
manupblack Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip
####things to do:
- add the new modified launcher with customisable apps drawer ++
- black status bar with white writing (white clock not possible at this time)- FIXED
- fix status bar icons to match theme better - FIXED
- ..........
-----other themes to come- Hero, palm pre.....

that's nice but i am talking about Amon_RA's build.

To be absolutely honest with you; I think it looks horrific.

hehe... your opinion... but thanks for that.. i'll be sure to tell Manup you thing its crap.
dont like it, dont use it.

Don't worry, I won't use it. Disliking this theme doesn't mean I dislike everything he did. One should be able to recieve both positive and negative feedback. A solution to make this look more attractive would be disabling jpeg compression in your preview screenshots. Jpeg makes everything look horrible and blurred, especially hard reds, blues and greens. I'd start with enhancing that. Furthermode I'd not downsize the previews because that blurs the whole thing as well.
To state I didn't just suck the feedback out of my thumb:
You can barely read the battery status (looks like he modified the battery I did for my own theme).
The color for the background behind the time doesn't fit the other colors.
On the first screenshot you/he used 4-5 teints of blue... it's overly blue.

yeah i see your point.... didnt even look at the pics myself.... sorry about that... just stuck them straight in from what screenshot app took....
as for the blues- i see what you mean- never really looked at it that closely.....i did do the clock bgd colour though- with the same blue it was too dark to read clock properly and i was unable to edit services.jar to make it any other colour....tbh i think i prefer the different blues....is that an issue having too many blues? I am in medical field, not graphics....
i changed the battery on the black one so i could see it properly....good point.... i must have noticed that too.... or maybe it was coincidence i changed it.....
i prefer hero myself but occasionally i will try this- a bit dark for my likings though.....
thx for the feedback though- when i make one myself from scratch maybe i will get you to look over it- seems you have better eyes than me..... i really dont look that closely at it....

I'm an experienced theme designer I made dozens of Sony Ericsson themes in both THM+sysgfx and Flash Lite 2.1 Check "Photographer" profile at http://www.se-nse.net .
Maybe my critique was a little harsh, sorry about that
Too many teints of the same color can cause disharmony and the black and blue combination isn't the best there is... I mean, there is no variation in this theme. It's all black with a bit of blue...
To get you started: The blue you applied behind the clock is more purple than blue, try changing it to a more contrastive color like an almost white, and definately don't use harsh rectangles in a round shaped UI like Android Instead use rounder shapes, try Photoshop's rounded rectangle tool with a nice r. One of the things I do like about the theme is the "Android" text on drawn down statusbar in the 4st screenshot but it seems not to be entirely centered.

how to install Template-RAv1.1.0H-signed.zip ??
thanks

if you have Amon_RA's new recovery- 1.2.0H then you just stick the zip file on sd card, then go to recovery and select "Apply sdcard:choose zip". Select the one you want and off it goes.
if you don't have it, get it. In the mean time rename to update.zip and install via recovery as per normal rom flash.

[THEME MASHUP] [Cog 1.51] Various Themes [Update: 4/9/11]

I decided to have a bash at simple theming by combining two of my favourite themes; Steel Blue by BMWPokerAce (originally by Team Carbon) & CirclesMod by Hooolm. I was browsing Hooolm's webspace and noticed that he'd updated his green version of CirclesMod for Cognition 1.5 but hadn't updated his thread to reflect this, nor had he had any requests for a blue version.
He's been a little preoccupied with family issues recently (hope all is ok, Hooolm ) and so I didn't want to trouble him by asking for a blue version. So, I made one myself by grabbing all of the blue iconography from the most recent CirclesMod for VillianRom 2.42 and jacking them into the green version of Cognition 1.5. It took a few attempts to get it right and I had to fix a couple of leftover green things (from the switches in the pull-down menu, it seems Cognition has a switch that Villian doesn't have) and voilà, we have a blue CirclesMod for Cognition 1.5 attached below.
Not completely satisfied, I decided to combine the pull-down menu switches from Steel Blue as I preferred them and they go rather well with CirclesMod I think. I also incorporated the blue Android background for this menu too. Everything else is as CirclesMod.
If either original author has any issues with me using their work or iconography, please PM me and I'll remove immediately.

I am not responsible for damage to your device due to your own ineptitude/inability to read or assimilate information.

[Update 4/9/11] I've been messing around with the new KLoNe Technologies theme as I'm quite impressed by it even if it doesn't look much like the screenshots in KLoNe1's thread I decided to add a couple of elements from the Steel Blue theme, specifically the pull-down background and the switches too, much like I did with CirclesMod. I'm quite pleased with the result and think that the theme gels well.

but STATUS BAR not DARK black....(not like in screenshot)

What colour is it? Not sure I understand what you are saying

thank you for responding !
the status bar is not dark black (color is: black mix with silver)
But on screenshot is dark black

Yes, on your screenshot it is black also. On my device, it is black/silver gradient. Probably an issue with the screen grabbing software.
Edit: No, I'm wrong. Your screenshot shows it as black and silver but so do mine! Are you looking at the screenshots with an LCD monitor? Try adjusting your viewing angle. On my Sony Vaio, I have to adjust the screen angle to see the gradient properly

Just to let you know Team Carbon made Steel Blue originally, BMWPokerAce ported it.
EDIT: Great work all the same.

Ta. Edited my OP for credits.

Looks good, well done
If your screenshot in the OP is current, you've included the quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png from my green Cognition mod, which is a shame, when I've actually got a blue one
quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png
...is a straight up no nonsense replacement for the one seen in your screenshot.
quickpanel_quick_settings_background.9.png
...is the one you should use if you're editing by actually decompiling SystemUI.apk. That way, scalability and fill info is compiled into SystemUI.apk (in other words, the quickpanel background is scaled properly and the dividers aren't )

Thanks mate. I was keeping it simple just by copying images between zip files rather than decompiling. Now you seem to be back posting again, I'll defer to you for the blue versions of CirclesMod and just concentrate on my hybrid version

in 1st screenshot .. what clock widget are you using because I like it and I want it

Very nice, good addition to the cog rom 1.51
Pressed the thanks button but it won't work
Good work mate

The clock looks like beautiful widgets which is paid for, however fancy widgets does the same job and refresh is more customizable, screen shot and link below.

Updated today with a new Mashup... see 1st post

[Theme][2.2] HoloGlass - 4.4.3 Dialer!

HOLOGLASS, super-minimal and totally classy!
Because a lot of people liked what I'm doing here, they wanted a donate version. That has now been released
Free Beta: right here!
--------------
Hey XDA, I have been working on this idea for a few days about a month at this point... one, because I don't like how the recent CM10/AOKP digital clock widget has been looking lately, but more importantly, because I wanted a thin and light UI that focused on the User, (primarily their background choices), and I haven't seen a good ROM or skin that did this well / the way I wanted. Sticking to the Holo theme was very important while designing this, and I think that is very clear in the result (No pun intended).
I've been taking it rather slow and steady, making sure I know exactly what each line of my theme does, where each image goes, etc. This is my first theme, so be patient
You will notice the theme doesn't match the images below; those were my ideal mockups and I had to make some compromises due to system limitations. A custom ROM might change that, and is in the works. Also, the lockscreen widget doesn't exist yet, that I know of. I'm designing that too.
UPDATES:
7/10: Donate Version updated with 4.4.3 dialer and contacts. Took WAY TOO LONG. Now to work on CM theme engine style.
2/5: Donate version updated with KitKat support, fixes ugly grey actionbar, but temporarily reverts the new dialer and contacts (only 4.4)
8/23: b1.9 - Big update!
First step to update to 4.3 roms. Had to revert the deskclock back to fat hours for now, and Contacts.apk is still off, but it's closer. More to come. Added support for the NEW paid Swype keyboard (trail is still orange, sorry), AOKP Circlemod battery, White CM Battery, and a lot of really minor tweaks while I fixed all the things I broke trying to organize code and stuff.
4/17: b1.7 with TRANSPARENT KEYBOARD wut wut
4/16: b1.6 with new notification tray background, merged donate and beta so everyone gets QS toggles, and some more surprises Also started work on some weather widget icons for the lockscreen ideas.
4/15: b1.4 with numerous statusbar and other fixes, and Donate Version with ALL the QS toggle's themed!
4/12: Beta v1.3 - Large update with more assets, properly themed colors, and a fix for the dialog issue!!!
4/11: Beta v1.2 ACTUALLY fixed the MMS issue after a couple tries.
4/10: Put out the themed MMS on the appstore; Thanks to Justin Bourne for jumpstarting it!
4/10: Still stuck on the dialog-as-a-new-page issue, so I'm looking to redo the styles.xml again.... joy! Removing the apk from the thread so everyone can recieve updates via Google Play.
UPDATE 4/9: One month later, HoloGlass emerges as a rather complete beta. The rest is history.
Literal History (of the alpha):
So I love you guys and this glass theme too much to sleep even; I stayed up all night to get this ready and out the door. I kept telling myself, oh, just one more asset, etc etc, and then it's 530am and I have to go to work soon. ANYWAYS. I redid my workflow to included an official signing key & zipalign, and JUST uploaded to the appstore, so the link probably wont be live for a little while. But because of the almost 800 alpha 2.1 users, I'm going to post it up here one last time so you can get it first (and with that shiney XDA version badge on it)
UPDATE 4/7: Started over, sort of; Rebuilding the styles.xml so everything is smoother, fixing most of the transition issues, fixed the notification clock/button issue, and themed the notifications, but the glass styles haven't been finished yet, so no new apk yet. Once I do that, however, I think we'll be graduating to BETA, and will post in the app store. COMING SOON!!!!
Another 4/5: Alpha 2.1 - Accidently had temp QS images in there, and fixed some more colors (like the status bar clock). I tried playing with the text sizes, (larger clock done in holo-thin/holo-light, etc), but... it wasn't HOLO, so even if I wanted to "YOLO", it was a big NO-GO.
GIANT UPDATE 4/5: I was sneaky and made an initial alpha available somewhere in the thread, but after doing so I fixed a few things (namely, the animation piece; by turning it off, lol), and am ready to make this an official alpha. OP updated to reflect that. Oh, and I made myself a signature too
UPDATE: 4/2: QS Toggles & systemUI icons done, see Post 116 for a sexy screenshot
UPDATE: 4/1: Halfway through making the new SystemUI icons, see Post 144 for more deets. Hoping to have an XDA alpha/beta out in the next few days.
UPDATE: 3/18: Updated OP Title to reflect that this is actually in development. Pretty good progress on basic apps and updated Holo theme, but needs refactoring and to redo most notification icons for proper transparency. Not bad for 10 days after-hours work.
UPDATE: 3/12: See Post 43 for screenshots of the first baby steps! sortof-holo-glass in a real theme!
UPDATE: 3/11: Any experienced Theme-ers want to give me a few tips? I'm starting to understand it but can't seem to get my head around the first steps; once I get in I will be fine. Thanks!
UPDATE 3/8: I've cracked open my first Theme template, and will be working from there. Starting with JB 4.1, and might work my way down.

I think that looks awesome and you should definitely do something like that

Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
I really love this idea and wouldn't mind paying for it even.
The only issue I see is while the clear ui works well with the wallpapers you've chosen, it may not with every wallpaper, as far as text and icon readability. Luckily I use mostly darker toned backgrounds.
If the final product looks anything like your mockups, I'll be in minimalist heaven. Good luck!

Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
In theory it's a great idea. A problem that I see is in the transparent notification drawer because anything that you have on the home screen would be seen in the drawer and could potentially make it hard to read. But it's still a pretty awesome idea.

All the background designs have a ~20-40% black overlay, and that overlay would be included in the final ROM layout, so theoretically any background should work. (I played with a lot). I haven't tried ALL white yet though... maybe I should.
I've also considered learning how to make the BG darkening layer transparency a user-customizable setting, to adjust as needed.

I think this could be solved with the "Notification Background" option that I know at least AOKP has built, so it would just copy the system background and not have the icons show through.
Another Idea I'm playing with is a background rotator (probably exists), that would change the background every X minutes/hours.

Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
That's an awesome idea.... I'd use it for sure

Do you have a personal preference for roms at the moment, or would you prefer it to be a skin on top of your normal rom? If I have to fork an entire codebase, I guess I'd probably choose between CM10 and AOKP, so people's preference helps!

Re: [WIP/IDEA] HoloGlass - Thoughts?
I think it would be nice as a theme. That way people could use it on any ROM with the built in theme chooser. Then you could release it here and put a donate version on the play store. I'd buy it. Then again I'd definitely give the ROM a try too! Hopefully we start to see this around more either way because I think that looks great

If anyone has information on how to build for theme choosers, and the extent they can modify the OS, please, PM it to me. My gut instinct tells me that without doing it in a ROM, you'll have to combine 3-4 different apps or mods to get the same thing, but I'll start looking in to it.

Looks awesome! Great Idea! :good:

THIS IS AWESOME!
i really like this style!
and i think that if you can cooperate with a developer you and the dev both can get benifit,and further more,do some UI framework mod

This is definitely theme chooser theme worthy. If you made it a rom and it was for GSM Nexus it would leave us CDMA users high and dry.
By making it a theme anyone using CM10-10.1or have theme chooser could use it, CDMA or GSM. I would also donate for a theme like this.
P.S. There is an app that rotates wallpapers whether it's on a timer or you select a different wallpaper for each of your home screens. It's called multi-picture live wallpaper

Love the look.
Question though. What lockscreen widget is that?

short answer: Yes

I'm on a Toro myself, so don't worry
Besides, if I *DID* end up going the custom ROM route, (which I am still considering, since after playing around a little, with AOKP + Nova I have been able to get pretty close to the look I want, and my ideal scenario is a one-stop mod), the stuff I am changing would not affect the core ROM, and could automate builds through custom merging with each branch.
But you are right, a theme is the easier route, (plus easier to make a donate version of).
Thanks for all the support guys, I'll try to make this happen.
PS: As for the bg rotation piece, in order to get the notification pulldown to not show the app/homescreen icons underneath, I think some custom work will be needed; I don't know if there is an easy way to pull the same background used. We'll see. Maybe I'll figure that one out for v2.0

some advice
First of all thanks for your work!
I don.t know if you can do it, but i think it could be nice a theme that looks more like Android L: Basalt Grey #465062 for quick settings area; dialer, contact, volumes, brightness etc in light blue and the settings area is in Green. If you could look at pictures from Android L and extract the hex color codes would be nice.
I vote for balanced style unlock screen and Android L Style widgets.
either way i look forward for your Perfect L and I say to take your time,because for those of us who prefer stock android, i think android 4.4.2 + B512 might be the last software update.

Thank you for your suggestions I will add "Basalt Grey" , "Light Blue" and "Green"

I think this is the best theme available at the moment.
For the white P6 I prefer not to have black (eg software keys) anywhere, I'm sure it's opposite for black p6.
Excellent theme, can't wait to see where you go with it.

The icons looks really good i like them and thanks 4 sharing your time to creat Themes for our Ascend P6.

How about a theme compatible/tuned with Simplicity wallpapers.

A challenge (i.e. my wish)
Hi ikroll,
First of, thank you very much for investing your time to infuse new life to the P6. Let me add my two cents, with regards to what may help create the Absolutely Perfect L
In astrit1's thread on L theming ("Emotion UI 2.3 - Android L Style"), user 'taaaem' posted the following:
"When you need some inspiration for your theme, you could maybe get some from this awesome CM11 theme. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2800921"
It is of course a matter of taste, but wouldn't THAT be the Perfect L? Any chance of you (or even you and astrit1 !!) working on implementing that ??
Just my wishful thinking. At any rate, I am always humbled by people like you and astrit1 who spend their free time in being creative for the benefit of the rest of us.
Cheers mate.

About Theme
- There are 4 color in notification panel.
- Colors tested on White&Black P6 so i chose these colors
- Soft Pink , Soft Blue (Looks cool on White P6) , Blue Sky (Looks cool on Black P6) , Basalt Grey (From Orginal Android L).
Here colors:
- Also most icons will be same Original Android L in notification panel.

I changed something in thread.
- First beta have been released , if you found a bug , tell me please.
- Next update will be for other colors and more icons for popular games.

the good and bad
first what i like:
-the notification/switch is great
-wallpapers
-the transparent weather widget
-the settings area
now what i do not like:
-the icon pack; i am not a fan of the icon pack, it's a matter of taste but in the photo attached there are some apps like messenge, skype, viber(airdroid my tracks etc) that have a yellow , ugly background.
-the dialer needs some work- it is to transparent, i rather not see what is under the dialer than that messy look
-the close all apps button and the fact that the button for running apps changes
i see in customize theme that i can choose an icon style,but is nothing there, could you somehow put in there different icon packs like the original emui 2.3, the old icon pack from your theme etc? or could I do that? how?
found one more thing, maps and hangouts icons are just yellow squares - no icon there

maybe i'm stupid..but i can't change the icon backround..
what do i have to do?

[HUAWEI] [EMUI] Remove icon borders, backgrounds etc. - ENABLE PURE ICONS

As you may noticed, Huawei's EMUI is adding rounding borders to icons. This can be very annoying so there is a simple trick to have icons without borders.
But first - I am not responsible for any damage made by doing this.
What will this do?
Remove rounded borders and icon background from applications icons
Replace system app icons to material design icons
[Coming soon][Now available]Replace out-of-date looking app icons (google apps etc.) - Most of them were replaced, if you see any out-of-date icons, please write it in comments
NEW: Some users, especially Ankit Aryal, TKGerrald and shahi.persian (I am sorry if I forgot about anyone), suggested me to make theme that only changes 3rd party apps. So, I am presenting Third Party Apps edition known as 3PAE. Installation is the same as "NEW installation (3.0+)". Download HERE
Knows issues
Some apps like Google apps, Viber etc. will still have borders, but not rounded - Most of them were fixed, if you see any bordered icons, please write it in comments
Lockscreen wallpaper can't be changed, it is always the same as the homescreen wallpaper
Tested on Huawei MediaPad M2 8.0
NEW installation (3.0+) (if something goes wrong, use the original installation below):
Download Pure.HWT file from download section (unpack if you downloaded .7z file, if you have .hwt file, do not unpack)
Put the file into your device to HWThemes folder
Open Themes app on your device
Choose a stock theme that will be used as a base (for example, I like the theme called Brightness) and apply it
Open Themes app again
Tap Customise
Tap lock style, tap more and choose PureIconsV3.0 and Apply
Tap Unlock animation and apply any theme you like
Tap Lock screen and apply your lockscreen wallpaper
Tap Home screen and apply your homescreen wallpaper
The most important step: Tap Icons then more and choose PureIconsV3.0 and apply
Done
Original installation (1.0+):
Download Pure.HWT file from download section (unpack if you downloaded .7z file, if you have .hwt file, do not unpack)
Put the file into your device to HWThemes folder
Open Themes app on your device
Find theme called Pure and tap it
Tap a checkbox
Done
Download
New version - 3.2

WOW awesome !!!!!

Thank you for this awesome "theme", this really rescues the ugly look of the Huawei icons in connection with Nova Launcher.
Would you mind telling me why some of the icons (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox, Google Calendar, Play Store) still have a (square, sharp) white background while others (e.g. Spotify, Whatsapp, Google Clock and others) don't have one? How do I disable the ugly white background in an EMUI theme?
Thanks for sharing.

Greetings!
So... The reason of that is because some "clever" people in Huawei decided it will be better if they replace the icons of the most popular apps. So even if you generaly disable backgrounds theese apps will still have borders and will be looking out of date. And the reason of that some apps doesn't have borders is because I replaced the icon manually but for some reason I can't replace the play store icon. So if you give me a list of ugly looking apps, I can replace them in the next update.

Really clever of them, thanks for clarification.
Icons that still have a white border and might be of general interest: Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Street View (comes with Google Maps). Interestingly, though, some apps that are 100% not included in your list and have an irregular shape with transparency (e.g. Automate, DiscoMark Benchmark) don't have such a border. This behaviour seems quite strange.
I anyways use Nova Launcher, so no need to include my listed apps, I just thought I might mention them for your information.
Cheers mate
PS: Do you need to replace all the single icons in order to not show a border? Or can you replace some kind of theme-wide "border file" with an empty file to not show a border?

Hello!
I will include the icon.s ASAP. The reason because the apps like automate don't have a border is because Huawei didn't change the icon, just added borders so in this case it is easier to remove the borders generally. For regular apps I simply remove the file that add borders. But in apps like Google apps and other popular apps I have to do it manually, icon by icon

Some other apps with ugly white boxes, in 2.2 version: Waze, Messenger (Facebook), Play Store.
Anyway, great job, thanks!

First of all, thanks so much for the theme. Those ugly borders I have been loathing since the moment I got my P8 Lite (ALE-L04, now on 5.1). Got linked from an Android Central article today.
For icons still with white border, apart from the others already mentioned, I have: Google Photos, Play Games, Voice Search.
There seems to be a bug with the theme on my phone. The lockscreen wallpaper cannot be set independently from the homescreen wallpaper. From what I can tell, the theme has "styles" for Homescreen and the Lockscreen. Seems like the lockscreen portion may not be well defined enough and the system treats them as the same. The wallpaper settings allow me to change the lockscreen wallpaper with "Other", but once selected, it does not do anything.
Let me know if you need screenshots.
Keep up the good work!

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! Icons you mentioned for some reason can't be changed. I have the same problem with the wallpaper and don't know how to fix it I will add it to known issues and if I find something, I will let you know.

I have found a workaround. Since the icons are one of the components of a theme, and the EMUI allows customizing each of the components (screen lock style, unlock animation, lockscreen, homescreen, icons, and font), we can use the stock themes and just switch the Icons to your theme. However, I could not do that because Themes -> Customize does not see your theme as a selectable Icons theme. I hacked the zip file around and looked at another theme that I downloaded (the Android N theme). Turns out I just need a preview_icons_1.png file under the preview folder for the theme to be selectable for just the icon. I created a 1x1 png just for that. Tried to put a nicer png but it does not render the picture. This worked without needing to reskin the lockscreen and fiddle with layout XML files and such.
One thing I do miss though, is that the incomplete theming seems to unhide additional functionality of the lockscreen. The default on mine is a swipe to unlock with a camera icon on the lower right (swiping that will go directly to Camera app). With yours set as the whole theme, I got a 4-way unlock slider thing (like stock Android?) and it was cool. I do want the individual wallpapers more than that "feature".
Repeating the specs of my device: P8 Lite (ALE-L04), Android 5.1 with EMUI 3.1

Version with "normal" System App Icons?
Hi!
First of all: awesome work! Was looking for that for ages. But is there a possibility that you can Upload a Version with less fancy music, telephone and Messaging Icon? And is it possible to switch the background colors of the Widgets to the style which is "Singularity" Theme is using? (Official Emui 4.0 p8 Theme)
If you could do such thing, that would be so awesome!!
Like I would even pay for that theme.

Thank you so much for this! When you use original installation for V3.0 you will still have the lockscreen functions but if you use new installation, you can change the background independently.

Hi! Thanks for you feedback! Messaging and Telephone icons should be changed by now. Music (I think you mean ringtone) can be changed in future, if you sent me a music that you want to have there, that would be great. I don't know much about changing widget background but if you sent me the Singularity theme, I could try it.

Awesome work!
Thanks for this great work! I was shocked when I saw the ugly iOS 'adapted' Icons on my new Mediapad and spend some hours to find out how to change this.
I want to let you know that also the Hangouts Icon still have the ugly backround.
Sincerely
Tina

The original Singularity theme seems to be a stock one on the P8. Someone repacked it. Music may mean the music player app? On mine the icon just looks like Google Play Music. The widget thing may need deeper skinning of the respective app to set background colours, etc.?

On my P8 Lite the Hangouts icon was already fixed even in v2.2. Attached is a screenshot for v3.0.

Unfortunately even after changing the screen lock style to V3.0 the 4-way unlock thing still did not re-surface. I think it was a fluke/bug that made it show up in the first place. To properly enable that may need to fully re-implement the lockscreen layout. Oh well, no big loss for me; or I learned to live with same wallpapers.

Google fit has a square white background
And Huawei magnifier is black you can't see the icon on black background.
Other than that it's a great thee thank you!
