[THEME] Honeycomb Theme

I looked around and basically just couldn't find a good honeycomb theme anywhere from what I saw so I decided to take matters into my own hands...I do like honeybread for CM7...but it was just not exactly what I was looking for. So I'm running on the ADW Launcher EX so anyone can have the exact same setup with no problems at all. The Apps+ icon in the top right I made with the SiMi Folder widget with a custom pic icon...the clock in the bottom right is the One More Clock widget from the market. My messenger/calendar/gmail widgets are all from the Pure Messenger and Pure Calendar widgets from the market. The bottom left icon I made with desktop visualizer and just have it linked to my current browser. The analog clock is obviously the Honeycomb clock FREE from the market. If you go into the ADW settings you just change the screen transition effect to Effect 1 to get the nice honeycomb like scrolling effect. I have gestures setup so when you swipe up on the home screen it pulls up the app drawer and if you swipe down it pulls down the notification bar...this way I can still use them w/o it ruining the honeycomb look. I also added the circle batter widget into the mix in the bottom left. My home screen is setup for constant landscape orientation and 10 wide by 7 high icon space...this was made this way just to make the icons and stuff where I wanted them too. You can't really use all of this space because the widgets overlap and it just makes it a pain so I don't recommend it. The other thing you have to do is download the free honeycomb theme on the market for adw...this is just to get the google widget that I am using. Also you'll want to download the honeycomb wallpapers app from the market...this is where I got my wallpaper from cuz it just looks the best in landscape...the one that comes with the theme just isn't that good if you ask me...both apps are made by the same developer. Anyways...here are some pics...I'm running this on my OG Droid with the MIUI ROM on it...hope you all enjoy. Just click on the pictures to look at them bigger and get a better idea of how it looks...I added them to this originally with them already full but the preview was cutting off the right side of the pictures and I just didn't want to chance it...please tell me what you think.
Here is a list of all of the Apps/Widgets that were used:
ADWLauncher EX by AnderWeb - $3.18

Looks good.
So it's a collection of various free and pay items that we can get mesh together on any rom I imagine?
Maybe you can link to all the stuff...

yes exactly....sorry for how messy it all was...lol...i added a list of all of the apps..their developer...and how much they cost...i can't add links cuz i don't have enough posts...all you have to do is find the right sizing of all of the widgets...most of them i have set to 1x1
I also went ahead and added the 2 custom icons that i made for this...you can use them if you want or pull others from the net

Wow!! U inspire me.....nice theme!

[Q] Is there any way to Change general system Font Size?

I dont like big fonts and with GS4 screen is much easier to see small font sizes.
I tried to change the general font size using "Big Font" and "Font Size Setter" from google play, but these apps don´t work on JB 4.2 or newer versions.
I also tried with "Room Toolbox" but it works to change the font type, it´s useless to change the font size.
Is there any other way to change the font size that I should try?
Thanks.

Hi,
Have you looked in settings/my device/display/font size?

"Tiny" option is what i´ve been using so far but It is not small enough, with the apps I mentioned before it´s possible to make the font even smaller, that´s what i´m looking for.

No man, the screen makes them look bigger, using Font Size Setter app I always had configured 75% font size on my Galaxy S2. Shame that it´s not working on JB 4.2.

yes it is lol. I had a quick look & don't see anything image wise for the battery. but hey, atleast they added support for % in the stock icons
other stuff I found. most stuff is the same as 4.3. the dialer obviously had a huge overhaul. All the theming you did i the past to phone apk can be merged into dialer now. styles, drawables are all the same. I just copied my com_android_phone xml contents and pasted it into com_android_dialer.xml & it themed perfectly.I haven't messed with contacts yet, but it looks like quite a bit has changed in there too.

Where do I enable the battery %? Is that in a smali file as well?
Which ROMs have the theme chooser built in already?
I've been theming the old fashioned way so far.

mono for substratum

I purchased the theme back on marshmallow because of the transparency/liquid theme. Now, that has long since been removed.
Does anyone know of any themes that would make a suitable replacement? I'm on a slightly older build of pure Nexus Android version is 7.1.1
I already have a navigation theme that I enjoy. The statusbar icons in mono are nice and simplistic.
Open to any and all recommendations though.
I'd prefer to stay away from paid themes, since this isn't the first time I've had a support issue.

MultiUI or Greyce are pretty good for me. I got sick of the "black" themes. My question, how is it that no one has made a grey matte theme?! Or even something similar to Suave back on CM9 AND CM10?! Man that theme was awesome!

Check out the theme called Compound by Daniel Schott. It's on my consideration list. It looks pretty good and has some nice grey. I really want a nice transparent one like liquid mono. I don't really like any solid color themes. I'm about to look at your recommendations now.
Edit: ya, nether of those really has the look I'm trying for. Thanks for the recommendations, regardless.

Loool!! Made a thread to find a theme, end up helping someone else find one they love! Works for me!

I just downloaded compound too. I'm digging it so far! Nearly everything seems themed. Still trying to figure out why a select few menus have white background though. Maybe it's just the style.

What rom are you on? I'm actually getting black font colour on grey UI. Was hoping there would be a distinction change to white font for those situations but he might not be done finding everything as yet.

I'm on a slightly older version of Pure Nexus. Most stuff seems consignee consistent. I had 80¢ from Google opinions, so I figured it was worth the small price. I'm happy with it, for the price I got it for.
Edit: @Jammol check out this page too. Might have some answers. https://plus.google.com/100639474939398785827

Samsung Experience customization

Hey Guys! i love my note but i'm not really into samsung experience, but im refusing to use nova because i suck at customization lol

you could change your DPI in dev options
but then your clock is gonna mess up
i used to be a nova fan too but now i've given SEx a chance and i kinda like it.
i've uninstalled nova completely and just use stock.

it'll appear much bigger and off its place
you'll see it on both your lockscreen clock and AOD lol

Change the grid size to use more icons. That should shrink all of them.

some themes also have a smaller icon footprint.

Use Lawnchair launcher. Its customizations are easy to use. It's really easy to use all around.

U have to enable developer mode. If u dont know how. Is setting-about phone - software information -
Build number. Now click build number 7 or 8 times and a new setting will enable in setting call "developer mode" will be the last one afte about phone.
Now in Deleloper mode. Scroll down to -minimum width- if u are in qhd+ resolution. U will probably be in 410 dpi. From there u can change dpi. Now the higher u set it the smaller everything will get. If u go up to 450. Font will be small. Just go to font and increase font size while everything stay small. Dont set it more than 452 dpi cause it will break samsung keyboard and touchwiz icon will look like ant. Just 450 or below. If u are using other launchers and keyboard then any dpi will be good

Thanks my friend, everything works great.
I'm on QHD resolution and I don't even have to make the font bigger. It's very good in 450dpi.
