StatusBar/Framework Theme Manager
Android/Cyanogen really needs a better way to handle themes, like Desire HD or Z would be ideal. Themes would be in APK form and have a drawable-hdpi & drawable folders with the framework graphics you want to replace. I have really no coding skill, I was looking on Anderwebs Github trying to see how his themes work. How do I change/intercept where the framework looks for drawables? This is way over my head but I'm trying, at least I'll learn a few things. Anyway if someone with more experience would be willing to help that would be awesome!
I know that applying zips or metamorphs is not that hard to do. But this would make so many things better, like having time to add to themes instead of updates. Not having to apply each update or better yet each night if your a nightly guy like myself. Nightly themes are rare, metamorph is really the only way due to things changing constantly. Bottom line, I think this would be a badass addition to any custom ROM!
Let me know what you guys think? Better yet if you can contribute let's get this show on the road 8)
Here is a video of the new Sense Themes in action - http://goo.gl/mJT7
That would be very nice. I wish i could help. I hope that someone can make that soon. Good luck with it.

Hey guys
I want to get a custom theme made and after that, a custom rom of the theme with additional features.
I want it to look really sleek and nice with nearly everything customized. From icons to menu layout...
In rom i just want some additional features like different lockscreen(rotational or glass), crt off and simple stuff like that.
The job is quite big. If you are just a coder but want to do the job i can get another person to design. But you must tell me exactly what to be designed.
Prices.
Coder only - $150
Coder + designer - $220
The payment will be made via paypal.. And will be made after the theme is made and coded. And then you can make the rom..
This is a big job and the person must be dedicated. The time limit will be 1week for theme and 1week for rom.
PLEASE ALSO PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLES OF YOUR PREVIOUS WORK.
Reply if you are interested.
If i posted in the wrong section, please forgive me and moderators can move thread.

A theme of complete AOSP on touchwiz is what we REALLY need. its a conciliation between those who want Cyanogen Mod and those who want features of Touchwiz.
master vertumus has themes for SGS II and SGS III and I have used his theme on my brother's SGS III.
those who have used it will know...ITS TRUE AOSP. totally AOSP. and some improvements by Vertumus improve more on the theme. the theme is COMPLETE. he is a PRO.
im not advertising him infact im doing opposite. im trying to start a petition to ask him to theme for Note II
if anyone wants to see screenshots of his themes they are here
OUR AIM.
here. and on this thread we will start a petition for Vertumus and after it has reached a prescribed goal, we will present it to him.
WHAT WE NEED FOR PETITION:
1)A poll in which we will decide how many of us really want the theme.
2)A number of volunteer who agree to donate to him if he starts theming it requires time and concentration in theming so we really need to gather promising donators..
3)Support by word.
SO...WHO IS WITH ME TO QUENCH OUR THIRST FOR CM BY HAVING A FULL AOSP THEME FOR SGN II???
All in suppoet of the theme please:
1)vote by the poll im creating.
2)comment here to show maximum support as this thread will go to Vertumus.
ease lets make it a civilized petition and not just everyone spamming his inbox and causing him unease.
you might also like to ask other people of not this forum to vote and comment in this thread to show support to him
just reserving to make announcement...
I already tweeted him a few weeks ago. He said that he'll look at it.

Hey folks,
Slim is my favorite base ROM, ever.
I used it quite a lot on my TMO Note 3 SlimKat and LOVED that you had an option to add custom quick toggles that pointed to any app we wanted.
Like, I could add a Tasker quick toggle, or a Pandora quick toggle.
Will this feature be added to SlimLP anytime in the future?
I'm not asking for an ETA.
I'm just wondering if it has been discussed, or if maybe you already tried and found it would not work, or something else?
I knew there would be someone with this same question! I just got back on Slim from a small hiatus and wanted to add a quick tile for Hotspot. If adding this in hasn't been discussed yet, should we post it as a feature request in the appropriate area?

The Xposed module GravityBox has custom tiles. But they are terrible in comparison to how well Slim had theirs setup. I really miss the Slim custom tiles. Hope it gets added to Marshmallow soon.
But Slim development overall has been slow the last year for most devices. I think they had a team shake-up or something.

They have had several change. Hit up their site for more information: http://slimroms.org - They had some member turnover, some legal stuff to deal with, a new website, etc... I have been away for about a year now and went to their website with a "Woah. Holy crap?" reaction. Like the OP, I am definitely not pushing this for an ETA or to drive dev immediately. Just looking to see if it's been discussed to get them back, and if not, if we should log a feature request.
Right now, I am just really happy to be back on slim.
I think the pixel devices are a haven for android development. like a tree has a trunk and then branches , lol the pixels are like the trunk and other manufactures other than google are branches. not exactly but in someways, yes
THIS THREAD IS FOR CENTRALIZING DISSCUSSION
What android features are developers working on? What features do enthusiasts what to see?
Ideas, requests, reminders. Hopefully you'll be heard here
I would like phone theme-ing to be more compartmentalized.
Still wanna see a bootloader unlock for Verizon variant.

that's not really true. AOSP may be the trunk, but the pixel line is just a branch or two - Google just showcases their stuff on pixel devices first...

doesn't it make more sense to encourage users to visit the dedicated thread of a given piece of software that developers already have created VS. trying to have a centralized thread?. ... I mean the pixel forum IS centralized and leads to all of the development, software and support threads already...I'm confused, i don't understand the point....?

how so?. ... I mean, as is theming is very compartmentalized, at least in terms of it being granular, on a per-app or overlay basis... therevarevstill a few annoyances with Theming, but it's not too bad...
Part1, first come first serve.
Part2 if we where to use this thread, there would be a better spread of knowledge and less harrassing OPs with cluttered responses, expectations, the usual
Part3 I would like to customize my device without using substratum theme. A more of a layer by layer or mix and match custom options that would be possible with coding approach. Bold- maybe, impossible- nothing. Using one's own choices or prereadied themes

I'm Verizon, I got in early when the getting was hood
I thought of a few things like replacing stock boot image with modified signed one, but had an androidinfo.txt error, and if we can't get temp root to bypass, for now, maybe I can find a way to change my imei?

it doesn't change the fact that all of the OEMS/vendors are building roms using AOSP, not the pixel line... so not really first come first serve.

you are talking about lumping the entire forum into one thread. meanwhile the forum is nicely divided into categories /sections and is easy to navigate.... furthermore, as a developer; I would prefer any discourse regarding any development that I do, happen in the thread that I created, rather than some mega thread with 100 different topics all overlapping with replies. that's super ineffective, would mean I would have an additional, very disorganized thread to follow and email notifications would be useless..... I can appreciate your intentions, but I can monitor my thread, no need for a third party to intervene.
I do think this is a great idea, for people to point out new articles, features or stuff elsewhere as a newsfeed or something and general discussion... but I think developers can manage their threads better than letting another party do it for them... or putting them in a position where they will have to monitor an additional thread...

substratum is a layer by layer approach. you can mix and match all that you like, changrle the priority / ordering of layers, etc, etc...
coding approach how? explain in detail, without being vague. do you have any code i can look at? .... I'm not sure that i see how you would accomplish any theming engine without direct ROM support, like the old cm theme engine or OMS/RRO support in AOSP.
Good to know on the AOSP. Maybe their ports will land on pixel soon?
It is unreasonable to see developers updating there's thread here. Very unreasonable. I thought I might see developers like yourself, thanks for the kernel, post here like say... I might start a new project, is their community support for this? That sort of thing. And the community post here with ideas, requests. That sort of thing. Could lead to more participation, and less threads being created that are simply comments that belong here.
The OTGSubs I found sounds like exactly what I was meaning. Just something to get more freedom from prereadied themes. The build your own theme engine. Holla, I do love ya'lls themes usually. I'm gonna go play with OTGSubs.

youbare already running lots of code on your pixel that was committed upstream by Google's partners.

I getcha. on a new project, I might do that, but for myself anyway; if I release a peice of software, then I'm still going to startba dedicated thread... so like a newsfeed; I could mention / link to it from here but that's about it.
but I can see what ur driving at now.

otgsubs is for substratum though. you said you didn't want substratum...I'm confused. lol.... iirc, there are several apps like this for modding or creating themes that make use of substratum / OMS.... nice to see more of that around though.
I'd love to see an exploit for vzw Pixel to root/unlock my bootloader.

The January security update is now allowing deodex. I myself cannot bring myself to update yet. The work done on my phone now cannot be undone. Some where else in the forum it was said that themes (Subs) should be reset before flashing .
What else is locked or waiting to be found within pixel? Today I was hoping WiFi calling would be simple. I failed. Does someone know more about this topic or WiFi calling's ties to HD video calling? Also a screenshot. Yeah
I need too amend my prior post to say "HD voice"

I haven't taken/received the Jan update yet, but then again I'm not going to sideload it on my phone. I'm still hoping for an unlock like the pixel 2/XL2, but my hope is dwindling.

honestly that looks old. it's talking about the oneplus 3/3T
edit: looking at it it may be feasible, but if it was then why has no one else taken it upon themselves to try to exploit? i would but i don't know the first thing about this stuff (exploiting exploits)
Talks about the pixel too some form of exploit. I just did a random search and found that PDF.

yeah quick reading that's what i saw. I'd personally love to try to exploit the meltdown/spectre exploits, but idk if it's feasible.
