RC theme to try if you like Honeycomb Blue for Redux 1.2
Inspiration and original imagery Huge thanks to haxzamatic! > > >
With help from Mendozinas @ UOT for the bulk of the original port work! > > >
This theme is for Redux v 1.2, Ported from the original Honeybread theme chooser theme with some amendments.
The theme is not perfect yet. There are still some things that are not quite right. I am working on these at the moment. Unfortunately I am not a themer or theme porter (first attempt) so I will do my best. If anyone has tips, fixes or bugs, please feel free to post in this thread.
These are:
1) Original unlock icons have a square glow. Not sure the best way to tackle this
2) Drop box notification items using black text on black notification back ground
3) Titanium backup using progress / seek bar for free / used space out of alignment
4) Maximise expand list button looks out in settings menus.
[Theme] Honeycomb Blue for Redux v1.2 (RC1) - link temporarily removed
Wallpaper if desired:
Changelog:
RC1 - updated Notification power widget "on" buttons and Battery colour to static "3E5C9A" to match status bar icons.
Beta4 - Fixed Lock screen unlock image alignment issue
Beta3 - Fixed black on black text in notification pull down
Beta2 - Updated Progress / seek bars to represent original Theme chooser apk
Beta1 - First test release
First of all could you change the battery to SCB version O which I mentioned in other thread?
And it was sometimes hard to see where to put "ticks" (or whatever) in multi selection situations. Maybe some more contrast there?
Otherwise nice work
Thanks for your work.
Going to flashed it right now.
Edit:
Wowwww this looks great man!!
Only one thing. I find it a little bit difficult too see if a item in the powerwidget in the notificationsbar is selected.
Edit 2:
Personally I loves this more then the themed 1.2 version.
I say a third redux version: 1.2 honeycomb

I know it can be done, but not sure if I want that myself.
I may do a second version like that for people to use where the battery 100% of the time matches the data connection icons.

Can you get me a screen cap please of examples where you have troubles please?
I know they look good in the menu. Not sure about browser though. I think maybe there you mean?
The icons are all the original from the theme chooser theme. If I can correct them with my limited photoshop skills, I will

Thats true. Maybe you could make them glow in that same blue color like wifi/network in the statusbar when selected.

The problem is similar to this one. Colours are too close.
I already changed rom so I can't take any screenshots. But I think I'm going back to Redux very soon.

What if I put say a blue bar across the bottom of the power control widget icons to signify that it is turned on or something like that?
Edit> Never mind, I know what I am going to do.
Very nice theme, and makes an already smooth Rom even smoother.

Sorry forgot to update the link.
I'm not going to be doing any further work on the theme over this weekend.
Although I link and thank the original author for his work in this thread, I hadn't officially asked him to use his amazing images in this port.
I have asked him now and I am awaiting his response but it just wouldn't be right to continue working on it until he has explicitly given his permission for me to share this theme.
When I moved to Redux, I missed his great theme immensely and wanted it ported immediately but I did get carried away with how nice it made Redux look and wanted to share it without thinking about the original author's feelings towards it.
Hopefully he will give me permission to continue, so fingers crossed.

Thanks. Looks very similar to how mine came out (although yours are a bit tidier).
I do think it looks more like a florescent light tube though, rather than the original glow.
This is what it looks like in-situ
I suppose there are the below choices.
1) leave as is
2) Use edited icons like these
3) Recreate new icons from scratch
4) Lose the sliders
I dont think the last option is a good idea at all though.
I'm a huge fan of Widgetlocker and it has some pretty good skins for lockbar. Draw some inspiration out of those?
I cooked one framework myself and I'm really pleased at least with that Redux text at the footer. Font is Sony Sketch Bold if you're interested. Only thing bugging me is that grey backround at the notification widget. Should be black but no skills to change.
E: Wait. Is it that settings_header_raw.9.png?

Hello everyone!
We have developed a new launcher once again! This is not the standard launcher that everyone makes. This is a Honeycomb Launcher. This launcher basically clones Android 3.0 Honeycomb as best as possible! Although this launcher is new, it clones Android 3.0 very well. Every update will bring more resemblance to0!
Anyways, the launcher is available on the Android Market now. All you have to do is search for Honeycomb Launcher. We have a BETA version which we run all of our tests on and a Donate version which is more stable and keeps our development going!
Honeycomb Launcher has many features that are in Android 3.0 and which are not in other launchers such as quick menus and much more. But one of the main features of this launcher is the girds for icons and widgets. The Portrait grid is a 10x10 and the landscape grid is 10x8. Which this means is the size and spots available for icons. The large grid-views will allow for you to place your icons and widgets in almost any place you want!
Screen shots are below!

really neato!
Just one thing: Whenever I want to move anything (either it be from the homescreens or from the app drawer)it lags a lot for like 3 seconds.
Also, sometimes when dragging from the AppDrawer it FCes.
HTC Wildifire
Stock 2.2.1
EDIT: Also, whenever I try to tick any of the settings in the Customise Honeycomb menu, I get FCed.
Ya we are fixing that! It is because of the grid size : (
but it is easy to fix. All you have to do is drag a widget on the screen and a few icons. Once you put a few icons and what not on the screen it speeds up quite a bit!! It is really weird. Maybe because when there is not a lot on the screen it has a lot to move over to get to a designated spot.
But dont worry, we will fix it : )
Thank you for that info
I will keep track if this topic/launcher since it obviously has potential
Thank you!
If anyone has any requests or want anything to be added let us know and we will add it in future updates!
Well, for one I'd like to see it be fully supported in QVGA.
When in portrait a part of the screen is missing, to be more precise the "back" button part of the screen.

2. When u try to add any widget it doesn't add anything even if u try hundreds of time ....
3.u shud add some real settings to launcher.... there's nothing in customize honeycomb menu.....
There's nothing which make a user to donate for it..... do check above problems.... n add something pretty impressive to its UI...

I tried this and to be honest, the soft keys need some work, they just seem kinda unfinished in my opinion, they need to be bolded or something along those lines.
new setting nevr applies and it force closes
and hide notification dosnt even work
Hey for those who did not like to the look of the softkeys or just wanna change them, or if you just wanna make the add button more visible etc i have a way. Okay all you have to do is open the apk archive in 7zip and then follow these steps.
For example, to change the home key from the white and gray preset to the well known blueish-transparent download the hc3d add-ons (just search on xda). Next you need to double click res in the 7zip archive. After that click the drawable_hdpi folder once and drag it to your desktop. After that, locate the image you wanna use (i recommend the hc3d add ons) and copy and paste it into your desktop shortcut. Next, delete the current home_dock_button and rename your copy/pasted file as home_dock_button. You can also open them up and edit them to the proper size. (WRITE DOWN THE SIZES YOU NEED BEFORE DELETING THE IMAGE.). You can also open your new image and edit color, etc. To make your buttons now visible (like when the add button is only half shown) go back into your drawable_hdpi and find the image called line_break. All you half to do is open it and edit it to whatever size you want. i used 455x36. After you have edited whatever you want drag and drop the drawble_hdpi back into the 7zip archive for the apk. After this copy and paste back into your sd card.
If you try to install after this it will not work so you will need to download two apps. The first is signapktic and the second is Linda Manager (or any file manager of your choice). Open signapktic and locate the file you want then just go through its steps. This will resign the apk so it can be installed. Finally just open up your file manager, install, and enjoy. You will have to follow these steps evertime you try to edit a png/xml in the app so it is quite a tedious process.

Hey guys, here's a much improved alpha 2: Play Store Link
I am currently on a trip so will reply to comments and update main post when I get a chance
Small easter egg in this version: long click drawer to change to a 2nd home screen for your enjoyment. More coming soon!
EDIT: updated first post and switched to Play store link
It looks like the play store link hasn't updated yet..if its not active by tonight I'll upload a version elsewhere.

Hiding the drawer icon is definitely something I'm considering However I have a few ideas to improve it as well, perhaps a sort of "quick launch bar" in a row where the icon is currently located.

No problem buddy! Im trying to find more bugs and ways to make it better...Last night when I downloaded the APK and tried to install it my phone wouldn't let me cuz it said "App not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed." The way I tried to install it was using Root Explorer and just over writing the app by installing the new APK but i guess something is going wrong with the signature cuz ive never seen this happen...so I just went to the playstore and uninstalled it from there and re-installed the new copy from there....But i still have one more issue. Whenever you install a new launcher from the play store and immediately after you click the home button the OS prompts you which launcher do you want to use..i have 3 launchers installed (Nova, Chameleon, & Tile) But the OS never prompts me which launcher do I wanna use...
UPDATE: Alright so I got it working now. Android now prompts for the launcher >>> https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvZDNKY21yV282TGM
But one more bug I found is that whenver you go to the widgets in the app drawer and you drag for example Airdroid 4x1 Widget Tile Launcher crashes.
This is extremely promising... Keep this up, if you play you're cards right, you may just have the most "innovative" launcher out there

Hmm ok. Are you on ICS? Dropping widgets is still being worked on, added it to the known issues list now.
As for prompting for the launcher, it should prompt you every time you install a new launcher, strange if it didn't. It's possible to go to Apps -> Your current home launcher -> Clear defaults to make it prompt if that happens again.
I'll be returning home this weekend, hope to get a new build out soon Cheers

i love this launcher!!
here some ideas:
- make it more flexible (the user no more needs to sets numbers of colums and rows)
then:
- option to choose min tile size (width and height)
- option to choose from horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling in home
- option to choose paginated scrolling (regardless scrolling orientation) in home
- drawer categories
- option to enable google search bar near the app drawer button
- option to replace the launcher menu in app drawer with google play shortcut (or another app)
- fix custom color (can't set a custom hex color on nexus s cm10)
add these features even in a paid version and i'll buy it
keep it on!!
Hey guys,
I love the DashClock widget and use it on my lockscreen as well as my homescreen. However, I feel that having the big clock on the homescreen is redundant and unnecessary. At the current moment DashClock does not have an option to disable the actual clock (that I am aware of). So I am looking for something that is essentially the same as DashClock but with just the notifications and no clock.

No problem. Transparency for the homescreen widget (I don't actually use there, just put it there for the screen cap), I believe is controlled / set via the 'Advanced' option in the widget setup.

Right now it's removed wholesale, as it was a quick and dirty hack. Let me take a look and see if there is a way to discern where the widget is being displayed and programatically hide the clock instead.

Do you have location services disabled?
The widget queries for your location, in order to translate that location (latitude / longitude), into a woeid, that it then passes to yahoo weather to retrieve the weather data.
You can view your logcat to see the widget working to obtain your location etc, to know if it is working. For example, here is essentially the URL call being made on my phone:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=24700990
Are you able to access this URL from your phone? If so, there shouldn't be any reason weather can't be retrieved based on your location / woeid, unless yahoo simply can't find a valid location based on the data passed in.
EDIT: Well hell, I starting replying to this, got sidetracked, came back to finish, hit submit, and see it was essentially already answered

Will this still allow me to keep the clock on the lockscreen version of the widget while removing the clock from the homescreen widget?

Okay, played around with the decompiled .smali code some more (rather than working from source), and I was able to "conditionally" control / set whether the clock & date appears based on whether the widget is displayed on the lockscreen versus home screen.
Lockscreen (with clock / date):
Home Screen (w/o clock / date):
This should pretty much be what you are looking for. As mentioned, I don't use this on the home screen, but for those that do, until / if this is supported in the actual app, it should hold those over looking for the widgets w/o the clock, etc, when displaying on the homescreen.
It's certainly possible I broke something in the process, hacking this in, so let me know if you see any issues.
Be sure to first uninstall your official version, and after installing the modded apk below (click to download / install from phone, or use adb to sideload), don't forget to hide the 'settings' icon in the Advanced drop down of dash clock widget as well.

Thank you so much. I am uninstalling the official one and giving this one a try right now. I will report back after doing some testing.
EDIT: I just went through the process of uninstalling the official widget, clearing cache/dalvik and then rebooting and installing your tweaked version. It looks to be working perfectly as advertised. I have the clock on the lock screen but not on the homescreen. I have tested notifications for email, missed call, and text messages. All are working just as they should.
Thanks a lot!

Install xposed framework and search for xbackground. It will change all your blank backgrounds including the settings menu.

The keypad background for the dialer is the "dialer_bg_port_top.png". The png is located in the "drawable-sw359dp-xxhdpi" folder of the SecContacts.apk. This png only changes the background behind the keypad numbers. The bottom row is controlled by "dialer_bg_port_bottom.png".

hey not that this really has anything to do with this but maybe you know, im trying to change the background on the text message notification,i have a theme that doesnt work very nicely witht the rom im on and it had it black with white text or maybe it was transparent but heres a screen shot. and i know that in the framework-res/res/drawable theres a xml document that is background_holo_dark witch is what is in myn that makes all the backgrounds black even for the dialer if you go to the domination thread for his theme theres mods on there one of them is black backgrounds if that helps you any im sure you could put whatever xml document you wanted in there but it would probably but that background threw the whole phone.

Interesting... I never messed with the message lock screen. Messing with an xml would either change more than you want or only change the color and transparency. In order to change to an image the framework xml would need to point to a png. The only png I know of close in the framework is the "keyguard_fmm_text_box.9.png", but it only controls the text box on the lockscreeen. Beyond that I'm sorry, but I don't know of a png controlling the entire background as an image.

maybe i confused you the xml i was talking about was in response to the guy trying to change the background of the dialer,theres a theme called domination and in his thread he has mods one of them being black backgounds and thats a xml file that you flash in vrtheme zip or whatever but it changes all the backgrounds black for your settings, dialer ,some apps like root exploer and such, i was just looking to make that notification on my lock screen black with white text, in his domination theme it does that but the rom i am on is themed right now but that is not im trying to find what file or what it is that he made that missed notification black. but ill look at the .png you pointed me too thanks.

i figured it out
Okay I have a question and I THINK I know the answer but if someone knows better hope they can help out.
I am wanting to change the background of the INCALL Dialer. On ShoStock it is plain black at least. I shave been through the SecPhone and SecContacts and either missed it or if I am thinking correctly it is an .xml edit. I kniw how to modify .xml's but rather not. Any help is appreciated. This would be for my themes I just posted and I dont like the incall dialer. Thanks
I was HOPING to change the dial button background in the incall dialer (with the white arrow) to match the dial button backgrounds in the second screenshot of the main dialer...
I am NOT as concerned with the BACKGROUND imagebut just the dialer buttons section.

Hi Rock...
Just saw your post... It's an XML edit for sure. There are No PNG's that control that part. I've never looked into changing it though. Now you have me curious as to where the value is exactly. Hopefully it's in the values/colors.xml of either phone or contacts otherwise it could take some digging (understatement). I would start with contacts as the likely canidate.

Thanks. That is what I was guessing. Too bad. On the S3's it still had a .PNG associated with it in the SecPhone.apk
Thanks for the reply. I don't know if I want to mess with .xml's at all. I used to when I was making themes before using vr theme formats. I found it a lot nicer to just do the .pngs as it will work across multiple devices and firmwares. So if I edit a .XML it probably would cause issues across different firmware versions and devices.

The S4 TouchWiz changed alot more than folks realize. It is really different under the hood.

Edit: here is the link, just keep going thru the thread and there are many posts with links that will start downloading themes. Most are just 2 or 3 megs, once you have them just click on em in your download directory and they will install and then you can change your themes in the stock launcher under the theme setting. Make sure you have unknown sources turned on in your settings.

I've got them installed and I can pick from their icons by editing icon individually but I cannot find anywhere to apply a theme to the whole launcher. I have the at&t version if that matters. I've looked everywhere. Maybe it's just disabled on this model? I don't know. I really want to change my app drawer button though and it can only be changed by applying the theme to the entire home launcher.

For me, it was easy to find. I do have the verizon one, but the only difference in settings is that Verizon's settings page is set to one long one, and ATT has tabs (but either can switch that in settings).
I clicked the settings button from the home screen, which brought up the settings menu: then found homescreen and BOOM...
Try switching your settings view mode to single page over tabbed and it might be easier.

Your installing the apks and then changing themes using the theme setting from main menu or the Home menu under settings? When I switch themes it changes all my icons but maybe a quick reboot will refresh your dock and home icons unless Verizon is different like the ATT guys don't seem to have the theme chooser. I'm on T-Mobile.

I've changed the theme from both menus, same result. Then, if I use icon themer after changing the theme, it will change everything EXCEPT the system icons. Cool feature, just doesn't seem to be working for me like I wanted. Running Clean Rom if it matters. All I really want is a way to change the app drawer icon, which doesn't seem possible at the moment.

When I install a theme, it only themes the system icons, including the app icon(which is great), but not any other icons. I assume it's because of a variation in the way the system is set up as compared to the phone these were originally made for? I've tried 5 different themes with the same result, only system icons themed. Hmmmm...
On Cleanrom, if it makes a difference.

However the phone allows you to change any other app's icon at will... you can even go download images or create them in PS and have ANYTHING you want as an icon really easily. Just pick up the app, then drop it on your screen, and a purple brush shows up in the corner: click that and you can change it to anything... literally anything you want.

Again, I'm fully aware of that option, on the home screen, but that doesn't change the fact that the themes do not change any icons other than system app icons. In the drawer. Or system wide, like icon themer does.
