Try out XBackground Xposed Module
I didn't test it yet on our device but I was going to do the same once I had time and backups ran

I think I must be the only person that actually likes the white dialer.

This works on most backgrounds, but then the text is unreadable.

I tried RocketDial - horrible. Had a one second delay after each key press.

I would like to keep the original dialer but dark. I like having the record button right on the dialer.(enabled with xPosed)

You can try an xposed theme if you haven't already. Some of these will change the dialer. It will also theme other stuff so that may be good or bad depending on your taste.
If interested, check the xtheme thread in the Android Theme section.

Tried xtheme. Works for system menus and what not but not dialer. thanks for the suggestion

on the S4 i REALLY liked the International Samsung Stock Dark Dialer you can see here
it was from a stock Samsung build so it worked and looked great.
i wonder if something just like this exist for the N3?

There are a few xthemes that changed my dialer - Simplicity, Simplex, Gem Flat.
Maybe these don't work for everyone though.

I think it's that some people like light colors and some dark and it does show through the clothing you wear day to day. I prefer dark colors on my phone.

ADW EX Launcher with Multi Picture Live Wallpaper.
Great vid, now I have this to add to my project list for the week. I need to go from android newb to pro with a rooted phone with updated kernel and a custom launcher set up.
Fabulous tutorial. When I get my note Ill try not to mess up what you instructed.
One question though. With the 3d UI can I use live/active wallpapers (the ones that move like the moving galaxy) instead of pictures?
Static

Hi, unfortunately it's only static wallpapers i'm afraid
Static screen problem
This question is for James, I presume, the maker of this tutorial. I've followed all your steps for the 3D UI, but, for some reason, the picture is staying static, there is no cube effect when I scroll screens, and yes, screen scrolling is enabled on AWD Ex. Help? =/
Did you enable the transition effects in Multi picture live wallpaper as well?
For me it works perfectly on Go Launcher Ex. I sat the transition there as well to outside cube.

Nice work here!
I see you added SetCPU for overclocking but yet in the very next line you say it has a Stock HTC Kernel. Is there something I missed, do hope there is an Over clockable Kernel, just to screw around with. Looks like a very sharp looking Rom.
Thanks, Vinny

is not setcpu, its called nofrillscpu and is free. the reason i added was in case someone wanted to use a custom kernel the tool was present to o/c the new kernel.

This is not working for me... it just goes back to sense... never gives me the choice.
Weird.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Ok i rebooted, then the choice came up... but now that I selected Luncher Pro, it has the plain grey icons...
How can I get the cool launcher icons shown on the front page?
Thanks!
Sorry to post another whiney sounding gripe but is there anyway to get rid of the recent apps in the tray? I just long press home for the same functionality.

Banding on google screen is it normal ?

Love the fact that the s3 has no apparent banding on most screens however ive noticed on the google email creation page there is banding ... also where the same blue is used (mainly on email sign up pages) the same banding is there
Has anyone else got this ?
Every other page is crisp and no banding i just wonder more that worry why the google page has it ?
On my note a lot of pages have banding so im not that worried its a 1000% better

I was always under the impression that was actually the design of that background image.
Hello.
Try that...
It will fix your problem.
It will work to any rom you have.
Credits goes to Zabalba for his work.
It is a default ugly background that appears in some settings/apps. It is the wrong choice of background as it makes the amoled black look like lcd black if you don't know it is the background.

If you look at a picture of that you see a small circle beside the window, I guess that's the magnet.

Under all apps it is called clock widget. Not sure what the official apk name is. It's probably the lg one that you mentioned. If you dont mind,PM me a link on the files so I can grab them or share them with me through google if you would like.
The lg clock widget definitely has references in it to quick cover. I was only able to look at it for a bit, but it had all the colors and mentions of the fancy watch faces as well. I didn't see where that would get activated though. I was going to look at lglockscreen tonight to see if there was a way in there to add more widgets. Let me know if you find anything and if i can help. Good luck

Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
So i haven't found anything in the framework. I'm gonna see if i can get ahold of systemui or the launcher app and look into both of those. I did however create a slightly modified clock widget app for quick window. If someone would like to test for me... The only differences should be that purple is changed to green and i took out the backdrop faded 8 behind each number. I would appreciate a tester to let me know if the mods worked or not.
Thank you. link below

Thanks a lot dude. I changed everything but the contacts as I thought that it would only change the contacts and i am happy with small contacts.
I changed the contacts dpi and now the dialpad is ok but sadly contacts is to big for my taste but I can live with that as long as the dialpad is normal again
Thanks again.

I have a multi dpi Contacts.apk if you want. The dialer will look the same as now, but the contacts will be the dpi you set. But it's from 4.3, don't know if it will work on 4.4.

Thanks but I like the theme I have now so I will pass.
360 dpi is what I would like my contacts to be and 480 dpi for the dialpad.
Sadly that can't be if I want to keep this lovely theme so I am gonna have to go with 480 for both contacts and dialpad.
I tried to bribe the theme developer to make multi dpi but sadly money was not his motivation and apparently no price can change his mind

Just joking, your theme looks nice.
I got mine from a rom wich had multi dpi stock apps, so obviously i can't help you mod it.
3 options here :
1) there are tutorials how to make apps multi dpi
2) if you can afford to make a small donation, find some other rom developer, themer,... and ask him to do it (I remember someone from the S2 days, MyLifeRocks10, good guy, he's all about dpi and more)
3) stick with what you got, doesn't look bad, sure it will bother you, but you'll get used to it
Good luck.
