[CM13 THEME] Black Painting | Dark theme | Arcus support | XDA Labs - Android Themes

Removed

Additional information about Arcus
Statusbar tab: new icons for the statusbar will be applied. There is one variant for each color.
Navbar tab: after installing this variant go to the Themes menu of your ROM then select this Arcus Variant and ONLY APPLY the navigation bar! Otherwise the default (blue) theme will be applied.

Removed

If you don't like the statusbar icons I'm preparing various zips to be used from Arcus app.
Icons will be larger.

Awesome theme! It looks fantastic on my phone even though it's not AMOLED. Especially loved the status bar icons and quick settings tiles. It's something different that I haven't seen. Please add more apps as soon as possible. I also have a few issues.... The font as shown in the screenshot didn't get applied instead another font got applied. I think it's roboto condensed. And the theme didn't show up in arcus. Could you tell me the name of the font so that I can download and flash it and have the entire experience of the theme?
Thanks again for the splendid theme. Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks a lot for your comment!
Yes I don't want to only invert the stock UI. Many icons have been customized for a really new user experience.
4 new apps are almost finished so they will be available in the next update.
Custom versions from Arcus will be also available for all colors. It will allow users to change the statusbar and navbar icons. Some people don't like custom icons or small icons.
About the font it's not an issue. Actually I was testing several fonts when I saved the screenshots. This font is LT Oksana.
As for Arcus you have to install the Google Play version.

Many thanks! Could you please upload it somewhere for those without access to Google play services?
Also, there is a bug: poweramp controls are invisible on the lockscreen and in notifications, as they are black too. Can you fix this?

Actually I don't plan to update the free version. This apk is available for new users to test Black Painting on their device.You could install the Play Store (+microG) to download the updates (that's what @Primokorn does).
Concerning Poweramp, go to Settings (Poweramp app) > Look and feel > Status Bar/Notification > Uncheck "Inverse Notification Colors"

Thanks for the info, though it's a bit sad that it will be available only on GP. I don't want to install extra apps and services, unless really necessary. Also, GP is not flexible in payment methods.
Thanks for the idea how to fix it, I didn't find "Inverse notification colors" line, but there was another one to select notification colours.

bug
hi, thanks for the theme, looks awesome!
The bug is with the orientation lock. On my nexus 6 the landscape/auto rotate button doesnt animate properly. The effect is still there but when i press it no animation plays. Also when using the circular battery icon from CM, the charging "lightning" icon appears black which is invisible on black backgrounds.
Thanks again, cant wait for a fix for the orientation lock!
Personal request:
If possible would you be able to change the background on the dialer from black to white?
Thank you!:good:

[Half Theme] PurpleHaze [Layers / Overlay / RRO]

This theme is for use with ROMs that expose the RRO (layers) code. If you don't know what that means, this theme probably isn't for you.
Themed: SystemUI, Settings, Frameworks
Tested: Nexus 6, 1440p, 400dpi, Android 5.1
Recommended: no less than 720p resolution
Hi All,
Introducing PurpleHaze.
Please note, I have also included my White Notification Text layers for Gmail and Inbox. No theming to the app, but just ensures white notification text on dark backgrounds.
Download: http://bit.ly/rootSU-PurpleHaze
Oh and before someone asks, Google "Atlantis Nebula" if you're after my wallpaper
Changelog
V1_1
* Added 5.1 Invert Commits
* Fixed Settings > About phone > status background colours
* Fixed App ResolverList highlightcolour
* Changed ResolverList Background colour to be more in keeping with theme
v1
* Themed SystemUI
* Themed Framework-res
* Themed Settings
Looks really gorgeous.
Just a minor question.. Do you just flash the zip in recovery?

Hi,
No. Its for ROMs that have RRO / layers. This means the ROM must have the RRO commits added at source-code level, then use the "layers" application to apply.

I see. So I guess this won't be available when using CM12 nightlies and it's theming engine?
Sorry, but I haven't no idea what PRO / layers are. I will look it up in the morning

Ah, no. Layers is kind of the alternative to cm theme engine. Some of RRO was already in AOSP but not being utilised much. Work has been done to expose and improve that and it gives us layers. Unfortunately though, it cannot work in co junction with CMTE.
very good colors
Do you plan make with another colors, like green?

I'll be updating the themes at some point but I'm very busy at the moment due to a promotion at work. I hadn't really considered a launcher theme because really the only launcher I could do would be Google and that wouldn't be useful for most people. What launcher did you mean?

I hate this font, why don't you try with another font? My suggestion is "Asap"
Thanks A LOT for this theme. It's perfect, font is awesome as well.
My favourite so far, and I think it's gonna be hard to beat this one. Great job.
I shared this theme with many buddies (who aren't registered in this forum) and everyone liked it and currently using it.
By the way, if you could make some changes on the wifi and signal icons, it would be great. Would appreciate it.
NavBar looks really nice.
Another post edit:
I think the 1.1 version looks better than the special one. The only worth thing I found from the special version is the Toggle settings and Notifications bar. I would implement it on the 1.1 version.
The battery icon looks good too, but I don't mind much about that.
The stock lockscreen with a nice custom clock is the best choice in my opinion.
Hope you consider my suggestions. Cheers.

Some people had requested me to change the lockscreen that's why I had changed it.
Also now I can't update this theme in near future because I have entered the unkind regions of examinations. After exams I have to prepare for entrance test of Medical College. So...I will barely have extra time for the next four months.

Black Theme Android/Apps

Hello,
I tried to find Dark/Black themes for Z3 Compact which could theme settings, calendar, contacts and a lot of other apps but without success.
I also tried some Xposed module for theming but all of them were not working
I would like something really close to the one made by @Rajeev (dark and blue) like here
Or something like eXistenZ from @niaboc79 like here
Sadly his rom is not working on our Z3 Compact
I am currently using Slimm 3.1 Rom from @Wajk
If someone could help me, i will be really greatful :laugh:
I also tried Substratum theme engine, and Layers manager but the apps doesn't start then FC ?

You should flash something about the Layers you can't directly use it AFAIK, also I don't know any other way than Layers on MM to edit the apps as you requested. Even with Layers, it is very risky, it might screw your system up, make sure to have a back-up! When it comes to eXistenZ, it is a highly customized ROM so don't compare it with stock
Substratum works for MM. I've mixed a few of the best free, cheap and quality themes I've tested. Theming quality varies and compatibility can be inconsistent. Takes some time to test. But I've done that so can share. I'll list in order of quality preference. That way you choose the priority theme's overlays when there are duplicates.
Material Glass is a free unique dark theme. Has transparency to wallpaper throughout and for pop ups. Can use all of them. Don't like it's XDA labs though. Also has two bugs if using it's Android System, volume slider hides foreground app and keyboard switcher reboots device.
Swift Black is a cheap quality pack still in active development and updating to substratum. Pretty much all of it's overlays are great except Chrome's window heading clashes. It's Systemui and Android System are standouts priority above Material Glass the latter only because of prior mentioned bugs.
InversionUI is a good free pack. Not as good as Swift Black but if preferring free can be a close replacement. For example it's play store ratings colour clashes white. Google calendar, catlog and news & weather are unique to it. Calendar status bar icons clash black, but using white icons and clock changing in gravitybox is a workaround.
Dark Material free from play store for it's unique facebook and instagram. Substratum itself only seems to black with this one.
These have YouTube which is just it's setting menu aparrently and eBay just it's notification. I think Android System overlays clash black text in Sony's messaging, I just swapped to using Google's Messenger instead.
They're actually the best combo. I tried some others but had no results or crashes. Haven't tested all as these fill everything already. Can't complain with the results!
edit: for posterity's sake using xposed mod Qs X tiles per row can help theme notifications colours. Also xposed mod LPThemer works on MM: under it's Status bar tab, enabling notification text colour can change notification button text colours.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! That is really helpful. I'd like to ask for more info, e.g. you meant those themes↓?
• Swift Black (Play Store says Z3C is not compatible )
• InversionUI
• Dark Material (Play Store says Z3C is not compatible )
Have you tried AospUI Black od AospUI Dark?

This information is a little old so some things don't function anymore. Development for Substratum has moved onto OMS and older legacy support is discontinued. Some app updates have broken overlays too. I'm using two Z3C's, one on LineageOMS 14.1 which uses a new different mixed combination of packs including the old legacy Material Glass. The old MM stock I've just stopped using an overlay when it breaks.
Yes that's Swift Black, they stopped updating legacy awhile ago. Maybe if you can purchase I can provide the original last updated v8.7 APK to use. Yes, that's InversionUI, but I don't use any of it anymore. Dark Material has the package name com.chummy.darkmaterial_layers, I don't use it anymore. I haven't tried that, I just use my old stock MM as a backup so not changing things there unless needed. I just keep my LineageOMS 14.1 updated currently.
If might help so this is how my old remaining MM is set up:
Material Glass v3.2 old 3.2 for how the theme accent is preferred white still before it was changed to grey
- Android System (Use GravityBox to set media tweaks, volume panel timeout to 1 second to help with the overlay bug. Can use Tasker with Secure settings plugin to create a Keyboard switcher to get around the crashing default selector)
Material Glass v3.4 beta One of the last betas from the github
- Tags, Trusted Face, Phone Call Management, Google Play Store, GravityBox, eBay, Translate, Google, GBoard, Package Installer, Kernel Adiutor, Instagram (old version)
Material Glass v3.4 I think these were just apps I installed later so I used the latest and last release
- Messages, Android System WebView
Swift Black
Calendar, Google Text-to-speech, Hangouts, Keep, MX Player, Media Storage, Messenger Lite, News & Weather, Phone Services, Skype, VLC, Viber
I kept a note of when an overlay stopped working in case I needed to reinstall after a clean ROM. I had DocumentsUI and Gmail removed from Material Glass. I had Docs, Drive, Google Play Store, Phone Call Management, Translate and eBay removed from Swift Black. Of course I haven't tested everything and theres apps I don't have too, but that's what works for me and can be used as a guide.

I tried to find Dark/Black themes for Z3 Compact which could theme settings, calendar, contacts and a lot of other apps but without success.
I also tried some Xposed module for theming but all of them were not working
I would like something really close to the one made by @Rajeev (dark and blue) like here
Or something like eXistenZ from @niaboc79 like here
Sadly his rom is not working on our Z3 Compact
I am currently using Slimm 3.1 Rom from @Wajk
If someone could help me, i will be really greatful :laugh:

Don't know if you're still looking, but I made one for eXistenZ MM - https://mega.nz/#!NptDRSgC!QOJHyx08wCMwWfnJpRYKRFgFQd9sRslSw8snfCWa5hg
Make a backup, flash in recovery.
Also, here's dark contacts, install as normal apk.

The .zip is no longer available, do you have another copy, or a mirror?

Links are still good, but it's been a while, and I really don't remember anything about it. Try it out, (make a backup first)...

Sorry, I haven't had Z3c for over 5 years... I don't think those files exist anymore. You can use Apktool right on the phone to mod your system apps. That's mainly how I did everything.
One of my favorite phones, though. If Sony did more updates, I might still have it.

EMUI 8.1 custom Themes issues (partially incompatible with EMUI 8.0 themes)

Hi,
This thread is to report custom themes issues - as I noticed currently available themes (working fine on EMUI 8.0 phones) are partially incompatible with EMUI 8.1 on our P20 phones.
Known issues (EMUI 8.1 vs EMUI 8.0):
- sms app is no longer supported (there is no longer Huawei sms app - Google Messages instead, completly inconsistent with EMUI design...)
- some (not all) custom screen locks are not working
- custom settings menu icons are not visible (only default ones)
- general issue with non-system app icons - most of them are not changing with theme (even if there is custom icon inside theme)
- custom status bar and notifications are not working
I received my P20 today, so i'll update above list during my tests. If you notice any not listed issue - let me know, i will add it.
I'll try to find a solutions for that issues - but of course any help is appreciated
Life saver!
I've been playing around with the themes and noticed my notifications had disappeared from the lock screen. I had assumed it was another setting I'd changed by mistake, but couldn't find what I'd done.
Found this thread last night, stuck the theme back to Romance, and the notifications are back!

But you can use custom theme with standard lock screen - and notifcations should appear
Any custom lockscreens that work with notifications? I tried a few but none display spotify lockscreen controls. I ask because I'd prefer a lockscreen with the clock at the top instead of the bottom like the magazine theme.

Try lockscreen from my SimpleP theme - there is a clock in the top and spotify controls work
I have the same problem. I tried some custom themes and now, no matter what theme I choose, notifications won't expand, I can only read notification first line. And yes, with some custom themes, notifications won't show at all.
@mr.mrcn I can't find SimpleP theme

It is in my app (link is in the signature). But notifications in this lock screen don't expand either.
They are not expanding for me as well, seems like a stupid bug (much like no synchronized volumes with Bluetooth audio devices)
EMUI 8.1 ignores all xml images in custom themes, they are displayed by default.

Not quite true, in my theme are all icons changed, and some other stuff too. I don't have much time to look around, but some paths of icons are different from previous versions. Will try with png's and new folder paths. ???

Because all icons are round and there is no special mask in this icon pack Look at my screenshot - there is a mask, but for unknown reason is not applied to some icons (like gmail, slack, whatsapp..), but for other it is (facebook, telegram..).

Some files in the theme are now overlooked by the system (EMUI 8.1).

Do you think this will be fixed soon?
Probably Huawei actually wants it like this, I think they would've fixed it already

I think not..they would not include a theme engine if they do not want customers to change the look of it..but that is my opinion

You can still change UI colors and drawer icons... Maybe they just want you to do it/they want developers to optimize their themes for the p20/p20 pro before allowing them to change navbar icons/notification tab icons and stuff, at least imo
No Status Bar for me at all, tried Factory reset, the same.
