[THEME][MIUI][WIP] FBUI - Facebookstyle

I like the Facebook layout, so why not make a theme from it? This was first on MIUI-Dev, but with all the sh*t going on there, I decided to plant it here
(click to see bigger image)
What do you guys think? This is all still in Photoshop. There's still alot of work to do to finish this.
I'm planning to theme as much as possible (SMS/MMS, Dialer, Contacts, etc). But I will finish it up first in PS and then release the whole theme.
What has changed:
- New icon style (like the blue buttons in the popup in Facebook)
- Stricter colortype. Exactly the same colors as used in Facebook, except for the opened folder background, because of the white text
- A clean and clear notification dropdown, where background of notifications is 80% transparent
- Clear blue active action icons, grey and beveled in when not active
- in MMS/SMS a beveled in button with colored icon when that one is active, no beveled in and lightblue border for icons that are not active

Very cool
Cant wait to test drive it very cool concept dont give up

Awesome man, does dev's over at miui treat people like ****. the way he talks he must be one big dork.

Saw this one over at miui-devs yeah, looks promising...I would most certainly give this one a try

Still can't wait for this theme. Looks so sick. I really appreciate how complete you're making it and theming everything.

looking great! i just hope the theme turns out as full as it can be, and as consistent with facebook's design as possible. and also id prefer no themed icons only icon backgrounds because it annoys me when some icons i use are themed and some are not and it does not look good with half themed and half unthemed icons on my home screen, just icon backgrounds is great.

I was thinking of that too. When the theme is finished, I will release 2 packs: one with themed icons, other without. I will also provide a psd for people who want to create their own icons, and I will do weekly updates with those new icons in the theme.

looks great. can't wait!

Looks great dude, can't wait to try it.

Thanks everyone for the interest in this theme. The design for this theme has been slowed down due to me being sick and stuff. The last thing I themed whas the MMS/SMS layout. Been struggelin' with the colors alot. Also, I have no idea how I will make the foldericons look like... any thoughts from the community?

Firstly I think this theme looks flipping great. My opinion on the folder look would be to keep it true to the Facebook theme. Have the folder have a white backing and if possible have the apps list in blue text along side a smaller icon like a friend list. Not even sure something like this is possible, that's just how I see it in my head! Then again there's alot of crazy crap in there.
Keep up the awesome work.

Thanks for your comment. It is not possible to alter the listing options of the folder icon. It's defaulted to 4 icons in the folder icon.

Sorry guys/girls, due to me being sick theming has been slowed down... when I feel better and I can focus again theming will go on
Next week I will hope to have a beta version up, where icons, foldericons, opened folder, notification bar/pulldown and mms/sms is themed.

hurry up plz im ****ting myself for this theme... no jk take your time to get it right. but asap would be nice, no pressure thooo... ))

We have ROOT now, what do we need to use Layers (theme's)?

I had a Moto X Pure and was running a rooted version of the stock ROM..... I installed Layer's manager and the layer of my choice (Dark Stock) and it worked.
I tried this with my Axon 7, the Layers manager installed fine and ran, but I couldn't find any of my installed themes to apply? Is there a setting that needs changed in a ROM in order to be able to change the theme, or are we just not there yet?

First of all, Layers has been deprecated and Substratum has taken it's place. Although it does have legacy support for Layers still. And secondarily, (maybe a silly question, but I'm just going on the way you've worded your question) did you download the theme(s) you want to try from the play store? And then there's also a good chance, even though android now has (some) native support for RRO themeing, that some things like the ui and dialer etc will not themes as the commits are not there from ZTE.

I seen there was a new name with "Layer's" being secondary in some of the descriptions? A lot can change in a month, because I was using "Layer's" just last month on my Moto X Pure and had no idea it was going away.
Yes, I did download the theme I wanted from the PlayStore (Dark Stock).
I may try it again since I've done a few more things to it....And I realize that not everything is "theme-able", mainly looking for just a few things, like the notification cards in the pull down and my settings menu.
But the fact I was still using the Layers Manager was probably the issue. I just installed the Substratum manager and it worked, at least for the notification cards. The settings menu wasn't completely themed, so I un-theme'd it.

This is all I really wanted! My PlayStore is also themed, the rest is left alone.

Sweet. So it didn't theme settings either? Nice to see that this much is indeed working. Are you familiar with TBO and their themed apps etc?

The settings *DID theme, but they looked like cards with a white background and you could see around the edges and the gaps between "groups". It didn't look very good, so I un-themed the settings.
Phone didn't theme (didn't expect it to)
Contacts didn't theme (didn't expect it to)
Playstore did theme
Calculator did theme
I don't use Gmail, but I'm sure it would have
Nova did theme, but I've already got the search bar colored the way I want it, so I un-themed it too
I normally don't theme the calendar or Google Photos, because I've had issues with the apps after they update - so I leave them alone.
No, not familiar with TBO? Is that "Total Black Out" or "Team Black Out"? If so, I have seen those.....But I like the more dark gray, or dark gray-blue themes as opposed to total black.

Cool. Yes, that's Team Black Out. Yeah, I like the same color elements. Would you be willing to install the theme able Google Dialer and Google Contacts and see if they worked?

So....The ones from the PureNexus thread would reboot my phone every time I tried to open it. The ones from the TBO thread work just fine and were able to be themed as well. I much prefer the Google dialer, so I appreciate the lead on this!

That's great news. I'm thinking maybe with that, Nova Launcher and TBO theme able apps for Google I may just be able to live with the factory ui for a while until we can get something more aosp once I get mine. But this is nice to have more of an aosp flavor for now. BTW, have you tried installing Xposed for other personalized modification?

I normally don't do Xposed with a custom ROM, but Xposed is great at modding a stock ROM....So, yes I installed Xposed for just a couple small things (using GravityBox):
1) Round battery icon
2) Center clock
3) More music volume steps (30)
I also used emoji switcher and have "Emoji One" emoji's.

Oh man, this is pretty much all I need to get me by until some actual development starts up. That is if we ever get sources or AOSP type ports. Only thing I worry about with ports is full functionality of all the features this phone has and oft times battery life can take a hit due to lack of full optimization. Thank you.

From looking at the Substratum page, it seems like it has two modes -- one with root and one without. Is that accurate? It'd be nice to have themeability while still staying stock.

When you say we have root, are you referring to this method?

From what it looked like there it was still untested on US model.

Nougat Substratum themes?

Has anyone gotten any of these to work? The bright white notifications with black themes are blinding and hideous. I've tried a few on the Substratum but they always error out when applying systemui themes.

swift black is the only one i got to work and no system ui tweaks are going to work on this device none were created for it most themes were made with nexus/pixel devices in mind and a few devs decided to make updates to use certain theme aspects on the s8/s8+ if you can find one with system ui tweaks that work that dev put extra work into it to make it work on s7 edge

I got them all to work

Best Dark Theme

Heya,
Just wondering, if you had to put a simple, but complete (full UI) dark theme on your Note 9... which one would it be (that you can find on the default samsung theme app).

I always use material dark or material black on my Samsung phones.

samsung theme store. search for them, you will find them.

You can use substratum with andromeda

If you want a COMPLETE dark theme, you'll want to get Swift Black.

I like Britzer. It's a very dark cool gray with Pixel blue accents and is very lightweight. For icons I use Pixelize.

I had been using these on my s9+ but it started to get real wonky in the last few months, to the point where it wasn't worth it and I removed it completely.
Do you guys just turn off auto updates on those apps and then deal with the annoyance of having to confirm that those aren't auto updates every time your other apps update? It seemed like a lot of times, my "don't auto update" apps would somehow end up auto updating again at some point, and it would frequently break the main google app, google search bar, youtube, etc.
Still a lot better than the days you'd have to hook it back up to a PC to run andromeda, but a hassle none the less and having the main google app constantly break on me was a bad enough experience that I just went back to a dark samsung theme. Curious to see others' experience with it

I turned off auto updates in google play settings and will update apps together with "Swift for Samsung" theme so that the apps won't crash. The update cycle of the theme is frequent enough (atleast once a week). My expereince with the swift themes is really good as it themes many 3rd party apps unlike a samsung theme.

Where to download Britzer?

There is an adb command to change the navigation bar color. I'd do a search for it.

Substratum Navbar themes?

Wow, I don't remember the last time I created a thread, lol! Are there any OOS 9 substratum themes for the navbar themes? The one comprehensive theme I found doesn't quite have OOS 9 support and I just figured out why that is lol. Anyone following a particular developer that plans on releasing a navbar theme?

I'm just wondering for themes in general, I can't get mono/art to work at all.

Nav bar apps in play store will theme navbar.

I tried the navbar apps, but the 6T memory management seems to keep killing the app. Super annoying with 8 god damn GB of RAM. I set the navbar to amoled black, and it eventually reverts back to default.

Tweak the battery & background settings (do not optimize or restrict),allow it to display over other apps & it should stay on.
Also,lock it in recents.
