You'll need a rom with the theme engine and this theme https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonny.theme.futurama

I know.. Theme can fix it. But I want something without theme?
An android.xml may be? Which can be pushed manually inside the ROM?

You will have to edit the framework res and some other apks to remove things like that.

Hi,
No, not yet for the official AOKP rom (about for un different wallpaper for the lockscreen). Others rom AOKP based like Vanilla Rootbox can.
Try this it works for me.

You CAN do that but simply not with the stock locksreen. On Custom ROMs it is more like a basic change in lockscreen.
You can use a Locker app as WidgetLocker or LockBot etc.etc.
Solution
On stock ROM you can but you just need to be rooted and xposed framework to be installed on your device! Try xbalst tools which is an amazing module available for download for free in the xposed framework and there are a number of options available in xlocky option in Xblast tools!
Xposed gravitybox module offers this.

Try applying system theme, rebooting, and then applying the theme.

lol....how can anyone make a theme based on an unreleased android version that NO ONE knows how it will look? Don't get me wrong...it's nice, but I'm confused...are they psychic or just leaking theme files from google internally?

decompile the apk, edit the files, then recompile it. There's always a way to edit everything....that's what makes android so great!!
here you go
I kinda like it... Does it have different icons or launcher look ?

Key Lime Pie
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie and I need some help. So I downloaded this file, and installed it, but it didn't work. How exactly do I apply the theme to the system?
NM. I figured it out. Thanks.
Why didn't the font transfer over?

How can I apply this setup?

Is there a way - Xposed module, app, ROM tweak download - to get my notification screen to look as the one in the attached picture? Some love them, but to me tiles suck. Would love icons on the smaller side, with more than one row of icons, and a brightness slider.
Currently running EuroSkank KitKat, CM 11.

possibly using 3minit
Ummm, I don't think you will pull it off with 3minit. Might need to run and aosp or CM based rom to have that natively.
One thing you might try though is this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
I was able to get this setup with the Liquid Smooth ROM (see pic attached). The only other ROMs that feature similar notification screens are MIUI and Chameleon OS.
Any Xposed Framework mods that you know of?

LG laucher theme?

Hey all!
My android's biggest issue with looks was and probably will always be the un-unified look of the icons!
On iOS for example all icons have that unified rounded shape while icons on android are a mess!
Do you know any stock lg launcher theme that makes all icona have the same shape!? I don't care about the shape itself whether it's circular, square or anything else!
To make myself clear, it will be similar to what Goolors or DCikonz make with nova icons! It either adds shaped background or even trim edges to make all apps have same shape!
Thanks!

I ment that you could download the pack and these if it suits your need or not. Otherwise I can suggest to use apex

I'm sure this comes from xperia devices.
hmm. how about getting and decompiling the ui and get the drawables?
have you tried it?
i only have the screenshot from the whatsapp+ theme preview, so i dont have the apk... but i found the app "SoftKeyZ". With this app i can at least change the softkeys, but not the "background"...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
