Starting with 4.1.2, Samsung has included a floating cascade icon for apps which are MultiWindow capable, but do not use the standard Android menu bar. This icon automatically overlays the app in the lower right hand corner when in full-screen mode. An example of this is SolidExplorer. The developers added MultiWindow compatibility, but the icon gets overlayed in the lower right corner, as seen here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On certain apps this overlay can get in the way of other buttons or text, and can be annoying. This mod will allow you to change the icon on ANY 4.1.2 based ROM, for N8000, N8010, and N8013. It will NOT remove any features of your ROM.
Here's an example of SolidExplorer with one of my modified icons:
Of course, the floating icon will change for all apps that already have the floating icon. This will NOT add MultiWindow capability to any apps that don't already have it.
There are currently 9 icons to choose from, and I will make more as people request them.
REQUIREMENTS: Root is NOT required, but a custom recovery IS required.
INSTRUCTIONS/DOWNLOADS: Go here for the instructions and download links: http://jammasterclay.webs.com/
NOTE: In order to keep everything working properly, you will need to go through Step 2 every time you flash a ROM update. This ensures that no custom features of your ROM will break.
THANKS:
bjbinc: his mod made me think of the idea for a universal solution. Check out his apps here.
VillainROM and Partners: Their script is what allows this to work on any ROM and allowed me to cut the steps down from 6 to 2. Check out the VRTheme thread here.
I am not responsible for any damage incurred by your device. Be a responsible flasher!
This is great news and good work looking forward to trying this out.
Amazing news. That will be a great solution for everybody! Look forward to trying this out ASAP.

Works great on my 8013 with omega rom easy to follow instructions trying to come up with some ideas for the icons. Keep up the good work clay
Works great on GT N8000 with Omega v2.0 rom
This is asking too much but it would be better if we can drag that button elsewhere instead of changing the size of the button.

The ability to drag the icon is unique to Omega ROM. It isn't something I will add to this mod because it involves changing system framework files. Because each ROM has their own special features and additions then if I made a flashable zip to allow the button to be moveable you would most likely loose some other functionality in your ROM. My main focus of this mod is to make it work on any 4.1.2 ROM without breaking anything.
If you want the moveable icon I would recommend you try Omega ROM. Its what I use personally and it's been very reliable. They also have a great dev team that's very responsive.
PS: in Omega you just press the icon and drag it, there's no option to enable.

That is correct, that's what allows it to work with any ROM. Theoretically if two people have the same ROM and device it world work, but even on the same ROM if people choose different insulation options it would mess stuff up. Better to just make a new update ZIP every time you flash a ROM. Once you get the process down it only takes a few seconds.
XDA members @dzul89 and @mishteuse brought it to my attention that updating edify for ZipThemer no longer worked with the SuperSU zip. This was caused by a change in the instillation scripts for newer versions of SuperSU. Rather than finding another way to make ZipThemer work, I decided it would be a good time to switch to a new method altogether. As a result, the new procedure uses VRTheme zips and is now only 2 steps!
Let me know if you have any problems.
great mod!
The website http://jammasterclay.webs.com/ is defunct.
Is there any way of getting ahold of this?
EDIT: Thanks! It's up again!

This is currently for HDPI devices
This is something I made personally to help with constantly merging themes to get the desired look I want. It wasn't until I saw ThemePorter that I thought this would be useful. I plan on developing this to the max if the interest is there. This will allow you to virtually merge any roms no matter what version of android the themed ROM is running (froyo/sense/2.1/2.2). It does this by analyzing the files within the hdpi/mdpi/ldpi folder of the themed ROM and replacing it with the new version only if it exists in the old ROM.
Requirements:
-Windows based PC
-.NET 4.0 framework installed (If you dont currently have it installed, the program should download and install.
-If you have any issues running it, try running as adminstrator
Features
-Mix and match system framework images from different ROMS
-The current version only allows for framework images (status bar icons, buttons, checkboxes, etc..)
Instructions
Important:
**Extract the contents of the zip file to C:\AndroSkinner**
Once the program is installed and loaded, select your current ROM be selecting load from the dropdown. Do the same for the themed ROM. Once both are loaded, click the merge button.
After the program completes the merge, your modified system.framework-res.apk will be in C:\AndroSkinner. You need to push this back to "system\framework\" using ADB.
Important Notes
--I take no responsibility for any damage done to your phone--
There is still a possiblity that you may get a bootloop after pushing modified framework back to your phone so I reccommend creatin a nandroid backup. Depending on the themes you chose to merge the level of elements combined will vary. All I can say is try and report back. There may be something I can do to fix it.
Planned Upgrades
-Make it universal (right now it only supports hdpi)
-Convert mdpi themes to hdpi themes? (Not sure if possible)
-Ability to chose which items you want to merge IE: Only status bar icons, Only buttons, or combination of the both
-Automatically push the new framework to your phone
-Optionally create a metamorph to be used for flashing
-Optionally create an update.zip for flashing
-View which items were merged
-Merging things other then the system framework
-TBD
Please submit any bugs any ideas for future improvement. You are what will make this an useful tool or not

I'll be working on this tonight. The issue stems from it looking for the framework-res.apk in a full ROM. It then looks for the res/drawable-hdpi/ folder within that apk. It looks like there is no res folder in your framework-res.apk.

let the feast begin
goddamn i wish we had a bell sbf
I assume this is the project you've been working on? I can't tell you how many times I've been refreshing these forums just to see what you've done!
Is an SBF flash necessary, or can I just flash from recovery (running gingerblur 1.3)?
Screenshots added to the second post for easiness.
Hope you guys like it. This is definitely a "beta" release work-in-progress. I learned a heck of a lot about theming with this project. Going to hugely benefit future projects.

Feel free to flash over GingerBlur. But if you have any problems, don't say I didn't warn you that an SBF flash was needed.
I flashed over GingerBlur and it worked fine. But I made some noob mistakes with GingerBlur that might screw with things. We'll see.
Very nice!! Might go ahead and try it out tomorrow!
I am soo gonna try this out!! Thanks alot Kenn!!
By the way. I'm a terrible graphic designer, so if you see any icons that look out-of-place or plain not good, just tell me!

Cm doesn´t use lge-res.apk, you have to theme framework-res.apk & sustemUI.apk instead ...

but nice work anyway !

Thank you for your effort to to this.
But could you please offer some other icons in your framework cause i hate those colorful ones
I got you a PM cuz I couldnt post links ´... post leak >.>
or could you tell me (or give me a link to a tutorial) how to create that myself
Thanks, Martin
Hey MoFosis, i saw your links and its a great minimalistic work. Unfortunately atm i dont have much time to spare on this, but i'll keep it in my mind for a future use.
The file packages you have to edit is framework-res.apk & lge-res.apk.
They are located in /system/framework directory. Copy them --> PC, and then open them with 7zip. Your targets are
\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\
\system\framework\lge-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\
In those folders you will find all the icons you need to change
When you are done you copy them back into your phone's /system/framework (adjust permissions is needed use Root explorer or similar)
Ok I'll try my best!
Thank you.

When it comes to a custom recovery, Team Win Recovery Project (aka TWRP) is, IMHO, the best option available. It's 100% open source, just about anyone can build it, and it's also theme-able, since it's XML driven.
Most people that make themes for TWRP, do it for a phone (portrait style) and not a tablet (landscape style). That's the whole reason behind this thread, to make more themes available to tablet users.
Starting out, I'll be adding links to some portrait themes that I've ported over to landscape. The theme itself will not be my original work, but themes created by others (used with permission of course!) and credit to the author will be noted for each set of themes. All of the zips under the Downloads section are flash-able and can be installed from within TWRP itself.
NOTE: After flashing the zip file, or doing a manual install (see below), you will need to hit the "Home" button (no need to "Wipe Cache/Dalvik). Then, select "Advanced", followed by "Reload Theme" for your new theme to be loaded while still in recovery.
Since Android is also open source, each device is a little bit different, and the themes may need to be installed manually (again, see below). And since this is XDA, I need to make this statement:
KNO'DIS: I, OR ANYONE ELSE AT XDA, WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR "BRICKING" YOUR TABLET!! IF YOU MANAGE TO MAKE A BRICK, DUE TO YOUR "FUN-DA-MENTAL" INABILITY TO READ, GO BUILD A BBQ PIT WITH IT!! (Or ask for help, there's a lot of friendly people around here)

The flash-able zip would install to the following path:
Code:
/data/media/0/TWRP
# And then it creates:
theme/ui.zip
# So, end result would be:
/data/media/0/TWRP/theme/ui.zip
You can use a root file explorer (such as ES) to create this path, if your device uses the "/sdcard" path instead of "/data/media/0". After this has been done, you may be able to flash the zip file with TWRP (untested).
Alternately, you can download the zip(s) you want, and extract to a convenient location on your PC. Then place the "theme" folder in: /data/media/0/TWRP, so TWRP can find it.

Waiting for material theme

Don't hold your breath...
The Materialized theme is far beyond the standard TWRP Theme (obviously). To port it to landscape would require a major rewrite of most, if not all the XML files, as well as resizing all the images.
That endeavor would take weeks (or months) to complete

No worries, if we could be lucky enough for it to be "a few things" I'd have took the plunge already

Every zip I've tried to download says it is corrupted when I try to flash or unzip it. Anyone else seeing this?
Never mind... got it downloaded and installed but it still shows up in portrait. What am I doing wrong?

They were working fine last I checked, but I'll check again. What are you trying to install on and what are you using for an archive tool?

Yeah, I'll take a crack at it for you. Give me a few days, also keep in mind: it's been a while since I've messed with any themes...
