[Q] Lightly coloured roms - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As it stands I have scrolled through many roms but they all seem to be dark in colour, I am trying to find a rom that's light in colour for the i9505 (uk) does no one make them other than black or dark themed roms ?

Hi,
In CyanogenMod 11 for example you can install custom themes after flashing the ROM! And there are many themes out there in the Themes section of S4 Forum, you might want to take a look. Believe me, the ROM color won't be any problem hahaha! There's plethora of themes out there, you just need to search. For example, if you take CM11 ROM, you can download themes from Google Play Store and apply it via the settings app, easy like that. Other themes require flashing, or some special app .
Check this sub-forum and you might find something you like:

On this same note, most AOSP based ROMs have this theming ability. And there are literally thousands of themes available on the Google Play store as well.

Normal themes in the Android Themes forum?

Is it possible to use the themes located in android apps and themes main forum on our D2 devices?
Or at least the framework-res.apk files for the looks.
I'm tempted to flash but don't feel like messing up my device at all.
Nope. I tried a theme I really like that wasn't intended for the D2, and it wouldn't boot.

How can I theme CyanogenMod?

Hi
I have been using CM6 Nightlies for a while now, and I have been lurking about in the theme section for a while, and I would like to know how I can theme my Cyanogenmod roms?
Is it a case of actually flashing themed roms instead of Cyanogenmod?
I know ADWLauncher (included in Cyanogenmod) can be themed independently, but I am still a n00b to themes so would like to know what the best options are!
Thanks

Check out the threads over in the general android theming forum, especially this one
Sage words below
TIP: Your first theme should really just be a mixing and matching of other themes to get use to the process.
TIP: d/l and look at other themes and see what the have done, using the same process below you can port and mash themes. To see what is themed go to the res/drawable-xxx folders and sorte the png's in there to newest at the top and you'll see what they have changed.
TIP: system/app/xxx.apk are where most apps that are themed are contained in these apks you'll find a res folder and in there you have a bunch of folders. you really on need to look in the drawable-xxx ones mdpi, no-dpi, land and so forth. these pngs make up the apps look and feel changing them will theme the app.

Does this ROM exist?!

Hey guys,
I've looked around on Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development and Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development.
I am looking for a ROM that has all the features that S4 comes with standard (S View, S Health, etc) but with goggles launcher and apps. I like the extra bits Samsung offer but want to ASOP feel launcher, contacts, camera etc.
Does anyone know of a rom that does this or of a way to get the experience im am looking for on the i9505?!
Thanks!

You could install a stock based custom ROM and apply an AOSP theme like the one below.
Domination theme:

The ROM in the below thread gives the choice of stock or themed (using the above theme) and may be what you're after.

Hi,
You can install a TW ROM (I really enjoyed Phoenix ROM) and then install the Google Apps from Play Store, if I'm not wrong all of them are there. And then side load Google Launcher (just Google for Google KitKat Launcher and you may find it ^^).
And also flash the theme that was recommended to you.

This is similar to what I currently have, but I am looking for the stock phone, contacts, etc apps as well. I like the Nexus 5 feel but also the extra features the S4 has to offer.
Thanks!

HKTheme doesnt support CM11 themes, you need to use CM10 themes... or themes designed for XTheme/HKTheme.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Unless someone adds cm theme engine to stock rom then you cannot use them. But by doing this it stops becoming stock and becomes a custom rom, just like CM, AOKP etc.
The biggest part of cm themes is the ability to theme styles.xml, with out this your only getting half the theme (png's, some colours and a couple of other things depending on the theme). If your wanting to use cm11 themes to change your bootscreen, fonts and others then your getting even less of the theme overall as they dont work either.
You can port them to work with HKTheme (porting them to cm10 themes would be the easiest option). Even then its hit and miss whether they work or not.
You would ideally port them to XTheme to reduce the risk of HKTheme incompatibility issues.
Even then... you could only use flux for personal use as it's a paid app.
CM has actually improved a LOT since the last time i used it (2 years ago).
It use to feel like a heavily customized and bloated AOSP rom, now it feels like it's an AOSP rom with added features. Things are a lot better integrated these days.
I avoided it like the plague, now I dual boot it on my nook and it runs very well.
Hope this helps.:good:
