Possible to choose certain aspects of themes? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Does anyone know is it possible to pick certain aspects from themes? For example i would like the notification tray from the midnight black team but i don't want the messaging app to be themed too nor the contacts app!! Iam assuming its not possible and you gotta just apply the whole of the theme?

Anyone?

This would be great. I love my theme but I hate the keyboard. I hope someone knows an answer or this gets implemented in an update.

Yeah on my HTC 10 i could do this! I could view various themes and pick and choose what i wanted from each theme (clock, icons, wallpapers etc) Sadly i didn't really appreciate it until now ha You could also create your own theme from scratch using a template they provide online! It appears Samsung don't do this and you must apply the whole theme

Great theme! Where can I find it?

I came across this theme and I would really like to get it. Anyone seen it? Thanks
Ι dont know , but it is not a theme. It is a custom rom, and probably this is where you should search.

The Rom gives you a very stable TF3D2 and nice looking taskbar to start with. It also has wallpaper on each tab as standard.
Then you need the attached wallpaper. Use UI Tweaker to get the right colours for your top and bottom taskbar.
Use Homescreen AllBg - Tore edition to give the extra diary dates if required. This also moves the operator logo and alarm to the top.
mouki_9 Manila Top Curtain will get rid of the top cuirtain and give the appearance of a bigger screen.
Good luck

Stupid idea that never would've made it =[

Okay so like yeaah. This may sound stupid but here's what I'm thinking. Because there are so many UI's like the Blur from Motorola. Sense from HTC. Blaah blah blah, why not make a custom one. We can make it based off of what the people want. Honestly, I like Blur (Don't laugh at me!) So why not try to get t how we like it. I know everybody's going to want something different, but why not try? We can try to take different parts of different UIs, and put them together and make our own. I know it's lame and all, but think about it. Don't keep reading... pause for 5 seconds. Okay now think about it and stop reading. We can even make this UI use-able for Vanilla Android 2.1 and 1.6 (and even people on 1.5 [hahahaa]). And hey, maybe it'll be so good that the Swagger Jacker Windows Mobile users can Swagger Jack it from us. So what do you say, wanna give it a shot?
where do we start? im interested
Idk. I posted here to see if anyone who knew who to do it was interested and wanted to help. I think we should start Googling.
lol.. trolling is fun
Fosho it is =] I'm trollin on 22's.
But lets be honest, a custom UI like MotoBlur is just like a theme. You just falsh it over something and make it look different and add-on some more widgets and etc... Motoblur is just 1.6 with a custom UI. Not saying that I like it, but it's okay and I mean, what's different from MotoBlur and Android 1.5? Notification Bar, Widgets, More tabs on the bottom, different clock, and more Social Networing connections. How hard would that be to make. We already have our own Widgets. Fasttest I think was the first to make the amazing looking clock that is now used in SuperCSDIv4 Rex3MixCSDI has a Black Notification Bar. We can make some custom Icons. We could Theme ADW_Launcher and give the bottom two buttons some use like how on Sense, you can go to;
All Apps-Phone-Add Widgets
and on MotoBlur, you have;
Phone-All Apps- Contacts
Why not make our own. Give it some customization. Take some random peoples requests. All these UIs and stuff, their all (I think I'm almos 100% correct on this, think about it) Home Replacements. Like BetterCut, DxTop, Home++. They all chang everything and give you more widgets. With MotoBlur and Sense you get new Boot Screens. We can do that. Make everything look cool. We been doing that. Why not make it. Post it on Google.Code. Be everywhere. Everyone will be talking about us and how cool we are. Port it to all the cool devices. Other then a few apps and Modifications, Custom UIs are just Themes. Like Enoch, JesterDroid, etc...
I may not know too much about coding and things like that, but I have more than enough experience with graphics and such. I'm all for this idea so if you need any help designing or just ideas you can pm me or add me on gtalk: [email protected]
Yeaaah, that's what I was waiting for. I thought about the same thing not too long ago. My opinion is, that for maybe the biggest android community it shouldn't be a problem. So good luck
I'm interested in seeing what could be made up. There are a lot of great features from all of the different themes out there, and piecing them together could be awesome if done right. I think a design should be aimed at before you have a million people all willy-nilly trying to make them. We should design, then build, then post a how to, that way the rest of the community can make their own based off of a common idea.
Now can we get anyone up in here who know how to make widgets? WE NEED WIDGETS UP IN HERE!

Maybe you could ask Koxx he creates, very good widgets, with great functionality.
Thanks I'll PM him right away. This is going so well!
So any advancement in this?
I PM'd koxx, but he didn't say anything back yet. I'll wait. Until then, anyone know how to add the little tabs on the bottom, like how MotoBlur has Dialer/All Apps/Contacts, what do you guys think we should make it. Gimmie some opinions.
Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI
ok kl. Im not sure on how to add buttons. maybe look at one of the launcher2 modifications where buttons were added.

That's a really good idea, I could ask one of those Devs. Do you know who made it? That's a really good idea I love you guy. As a bro.
Okay. Here are some links to some threads with customized buttons. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645683 <-- link to helix launcher and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630659&highlight=doc <-- link to launcher with buttons.
We'll be using the Launcher with Buttons. It's better becuase we can use only two buttons instead of 5. All we need to do is replace the Left and Right tabs, and make the Middle tab a different image so that the Launcher looks better. I think for the All Application Drawer, we could use the 2.1 rectangle. We could make it go like a straight line like the Espresso Launcher, but without the curved corners, ours is going to get all the way to the end of the screen. We could... give me some more ideas on what to put on the left and right tabs, what do you use most. For me it's Messaging and Brower.
Re: [THINK TANK] Sippin' on Tea UI
i think the left tab should be contacts, middle all apps, and right should be direct message. just like on GDE.

Taken into consideration, post will be saved for future refrence. Here's the thing, this is a CUSTOM UI. We are not trying to copy any ideas. But yeah I do text a lot so that'll probably be one of them. In fact, I contacted one of the people who makes Custom Launchers and asked him if he could make his a little different then it already s, so that people could choose what they want where. This is a Custom UI by the people, for the people.
Re: [THINK TANK] Custom UI *BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE*
okay good. now we need to come up with a theme and a list of neccessary widgets needed.

[Q] is it possible to do this??

Thanks to all the DEVS on here i appreciate your time and talent, and i would donate to every one of you guys but im not the richest person in the world. I do have a request if it's possible, here goes. I do have a brand new mt4g 3 days old now because of the screen and constant apps crash from my other. Since i downloaded a couple apps from the market and made it much more USER GUI custom rather than roms, because i have found to fail in this department with finding anything that i like (i'm picky, sorry devs, you do make great roms though ).
Attached is my home screen and i was wondering if anyone could make a simple mod (rom) to make the icon boxes transparent? Just show the icons? and remove the clock? I only ask this because I have the clock with beautiful widgets and did download another app for the power widgets. Or is there a simple setting i could mod in terminal? I appreciate it a bunch for anyone that could do this for me thanks a ton and....... (LONG LIVE XDA DEVS AND SUPPORTERS!!!)
I don't know about the clock, but ADW Ex will take care of the icon thing for you.
is that on market or can i get it here?
nvm i found it thanks again!
Launcher Pro as well...
I've been using it since I first got my nexus one and it's fantastic! The developer just added some nice new home screen transitions as well. Very customizable.

You can also download the Androidian theme from the market (free) it will also remove the boxes but alow you to continue using your sense launcher.

[Q] A touchwiz/cyanogen hybrid?

Hello xda, I was wondering if anyone would like to see a rom/mod I made and have been playing around with. I was thinking about compiling a finshed project on this upcoming sunday after I make and add some cool things like a custom transparent notification bar, clear backgrounds behind the icons, transparent drawer, etc.
The only question is..anyone interested?
I'd be down to try it out. I change roms every other day for something new.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I'm also interested. I'll give it a try if you post it.
No one will condemn you for trying, and every effort is appreciated. Of course you can expect a flood of reports if it doesn't work or lacks functionality, but that's the point of posting ROMs here, to get feedback and make them better. Good luck, hope to see something soon.
I will definitely give it a shot.
Release it. I am sure many other MT4G users will appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
re;
Thank for the replies, as of right now I am currently working on the icons and notification bar.
+1 im bookmarking this
i'd like to test it out as well.
update!
]Here's a shot of the notifactions its not done yet lol I think ill add some more spark to it an you can see my unfinished app drawer icon, that also still WIP. ( http://www.mediafire.com/i/?t1xsvqyu1b5slag ) this is a sub link if that attached pic doesn't appear.
I'd love to see something different. Pleasee!
looks good. cant wait till its done.
Was this ever completed? Anything like this out there?
I was gonna do this, but I already found out that there is a TouchWiz theme for the CM7 for the CM7 theme chooser, (as well as more selections, such as Sony's TimeScape, Vanilla Froyo, MotoBlur)... So I just left that and used the themes instead, they're pretty amazing.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback, and quick reply!

Theme In Progress - Thoughts?

First and foremost, I think this is my second post here. So HI!
I've been theming my droid for a while and I've published a few, but this one will be my first full blown theme, and I wanted to get some thoughts.
This Theme will be for the Motorola Droid, running CM7 and Liquid ROM. I also plan on porting it over to Theme Chooser as well. It is a Yellow and Blue theme. Currently I have themed framework, Settings, Phone, Contacts, Desk clock, Calculator, Calendar Widget, Browser, Google Search, and Music. So I still have a few more apps to go, as well as some tweaking. Below are some screens. Let me know your thoughts...
Thats cool and its DIFFERENT. I like it.
Change the Icon (Successfully Installed) from Vending/Market to the same color. The Dialer is very nice too. I hope soon you will upload that Theme. I will port it to FroyoMOD too Ok?
Thanks for the reply. I'm going to try and make a beta release this weekend. I have to finish market and make a few tweaks still.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
