[MIUI] MINIMAL-ICS V2(that saves some battery) - Android Themes

The Battery life has always been the hot topic on every rom, mod and other subjects. The more colors that show on the screen does in fact use more battery than a minimal colored screen...
So I decided to make a clean version of ICS. I see a difference in my battery life since I made this theme. Try it out.
Here are some screen shots

*I put the ICS wallpaper in the theme, I just so happen to use a blank black wallpaper.

Excellent theme dude, exactly what i was looking for, the gray backgrounds in ICS irked me, also made it difficult to read in sunlight.
This is perfect! Simple theme and still elegant b'coz of the blacks.
Thank you very much!

No, Prob...
I was actually trying something out... since samsung started making dark menus and and other things in the newer phones, it got me thinking. I wonder if it would save some battery life if not a lot of screen was lit. I've been testing this for a couple days... seems to give me about an extra hour or 2.

Only thing I would change is the color of the wifi, bluetooth, signal, etc. with the notification bar pulled down. It always bugs me that when the notification bar isnt open they are blue or what ever color, but then when you open it they all go white.
Other than that looks like fun. Ill be installing this tomorrow.

Nice work annex.

Nice theme.Thanks for sharing

Very nice indeed.

Luh this, thanks!

what application do you need to have this theme working?

You need a MIUI rom.

Love the theme, thanks again and happy new year...

My phone don't have MIUI ROM, and I never liked it, but this theme made me want to have a MIUI ROM.

Thanks for this. Loving it! I have one issue. I'm getting black on black text in notification pull down?

Thats weird.... Remove the theme and redownload it... I left it open, so that people can edit the theme before coverting it to the new theme format. Cuz once thats done.. it locks it.

Nice one...

I thought it saved battery only in LED type screens because black is not illuminated unlike those of LCD.

It uses less baterry than normal, even on LCD screens. Uses more than the AMOLED ones, but less than white backgrounds.

Very nice theme. There are still a few light themed items - the buttons in Gmail and the bottom bar in the Messaging list screen - but it's not a lot. I think some of the menus can use separators but that's my opinion. Overall very nice, I'm using it now.

[MetaMorph] A Small Touch Of Legend 8/31/10

I really liked how Legend added a bit of color to the tabs in Music, Clock, and others. Then I found that Fresh added even more color so credit goes to Flipz and also HTC for the original idea. Your Lockscreen Arch, your launcher, and yours tabs will change, also I have only tested this on PlainJane2.0 so morph at your own risk

[CM7 Theme Chooser] RetroDroid - Froyo Theme for CM7 (HDPI/MDPI) (Updated 20/5)

This is a Froyo theme for those of you who miss the old android. For screenshots, just search the web - it's just stock Froyo.
HDPI/MDPI supported.
Enjoy!
Update (20/5) -
Fixed headphone icon
Transparent notif background
Old school power widget icons
Rounded-edge status bar
screenshoot please...
THANK YOU !
I was waiting for someone to do this. It fits clear themes and setup more than the dark gingerbread look.
One bug so far : in the notification bar (one pulled down), the background isn't clear white but shows like a grey-out checkerboard...
So far so good however...

Not a bug. It's stock. I ported it directly from AOSP, no modifications.
In fact by seeing this image :

...I realize your are right BUT I'm running this on HDPI and the little light grey/dark grey squares of the background are way bigger than the ones on the picture. That's why it didn't look familiar...
Wow old-school! Thanks
Quite a funny idea!

+1 But im running MDPI
Figured out the notif-background. Will upload new version soon, kinda busy atm though.
good job!
dont suppose you fancy making a honeycomb theme?
i had a go today but i have no theming knowledge. my guess is it would only involve using most of the assets from the honeybread hdpi theme and just replacing the notification drop down headers and background.
Totally legend idea.
thank you
very nice
This is a great idea, and so far- very well done.
Is there any way you can theme the remaining parts... (like keyboard)
Is this something you intend on developing, or are you done "as-is"?
Thanks again, so far its great

by any chance would you be willing to make one without the curved edges on the notification bar if not its cool
Thanks! Very nice work!
Nice upload!!!
This is awesome, I've been waiting for someone to do this for a while, BUT the notification power widget still turns out grey, like it hasn't changed from gingerbread at all. I've tried reinstalling and rebooting but the problem still exists :/

Such as black menus and sub menus...black settings menu...im just not a fan of white on these phones and I think the Blue glow would look better over black than white
EDIT: Looking at the original i9000 thread it has all black menu's etc...it looks good....All the screenshots of yours are white so if I spoke prematurely I apologize as this is a WIP

Nice job, Mike. I love dark and blue themes, and this is no exception. Though I will reserve for maybe some more themed stuff, such as the dialer, messaging.apk, etc. The devil is in the details, but I love your start on it, this has MAJOR potential, nice port.

Still reserved for the moment, unless you need a tester, I'd gladly help you with that if needed, but again, I HAVE to say it AGAIN, VERY NICE START.
Obviously gunner is still in the beginning stages, and this looks like it will be great when it is finished. I posted this over at AC where I spend more time, but I wanted to let everyone see what could happen when you mix and match and combine the great talents of the awesome themers. The blue icons in the notification bar for gunner's theme look awesome when combined with Nitro's blue wallpapers from his themes. Just imagine this with blue themed icons in the dock.

Ok one thing so far I see is when the 3g is not running like no data going in or out it just shows 3g d. And it's all gray well its stands out like a red head in china. But I love the battery and pull down menu and the shutdown menu. One thing I ask not to be there is crazy screen animation from screen to screen, I think it just makes them look kiddy or cheep. But so far so good if u need a tester holler at me on here or ac or twitter.

Very nice work. You might want to incorporate thechopperdog's mod as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197895
Also for the wifi and 3g signals you might want to include black for when the data connection is live because it'd be easier to tell of the data dying out randomly.
Thank you! It looks nice

Had a problem installing this... Tried there times (I really love the look! ) but had to odin back after each... Put me into a loop of sports where the android boot abomination would play and the little half buzz you get when the phone is finishing its boot would happen every 15 seconds or so.

EI22 Cool Blue Theme+1x/3G Mods 11-17-11

This is my first shot at a public theme. I hope you like it as much as I do. This has the 1x/3g mod added into it. As well as some other mods like 1% circle battery mod. Also a different dialer pad . I also set the lockscreen clock to the same color. Overscroll is in here as well.
Install Instructions
Flash through clockwork mod . Because this clears the dalvik it will take a little while to reboot.

Thanks to
SenseiSimple for his work on the 1x/3g mod
RandomKing for his roms which this was based off of
This is not extended power menu based at the moment. I will make another soon that is .
I hope you enjoy this theme. If you do hit the thanks button.
So, flashed the theme. Very basic, but that's what I wanted. Thought I liked it, but then my battery got down to 74% and the battery icon turned bright green. The green battery looks really bad (just my opinion) with all the cool blue. If you changed the icon so that it stays blue until you get down to 15%, then turn red, I think that would look much better. If I can easily find a blue battery gauge, I may change it for myself.
Even though I won't don't like it because of the battery, I hit thanks anyway since I can probably base my own for personal use off of this.
I like this theme, very basic, but it's got it where it counts.
Anyone know if the Heinz 57 Shake N Bake for EC05 can be used with EI22?
