[Theme] Blue WIP

Ok so been hard at work making a nice blue theme. 90% done and looking real nice. Dug alot of xml files and change alot of major system text colors, still got few more to find. Some screen shots are located here:
http://www.tigerznet.com/xoom
Things to notice
Icons are standard blue
The shadows and outlines are blue
Big clocks are standard blue/dark blue
Major system texts light blue
Descriptions a turquoise color
Running on hammerhead but suggested to use morays battery icons.
This is based on wifi model, still gotta dig up the 3g models.
Disabled text/buttons/icons still gray, left these as is for sakes of easily seeing they disabled.
Thing up coming:
Removal of Redundant battery level in quick panel.
Notification text still gray/white
Apps word still white (did change xml didnt work some reason)
Adjust icons for 3g models.
Any other suggestions from you.
Let me know what you think and any suggestions welcomed.

looks good so far

Team Black Hat Boot Logo

This is a well known issue among other forums but I havent seen any answer or fix to it yet.
When you create a boot logo to apply via the TBH app, it flips blues and reds around.
If I wanted a blue logo, this wouldnt be a problem because I could just make it red and have it come out whatever shade of blue.
Red, however, when it gets flipped from a blue that isn't the perfect hue of blue, it comes out in a weird orange color that I definitely don't want.
Has anyone here seen a fix for this somewhere?

That is the way the phone works, has nothing to do with the toolbox or any creation of the logo...invert the colors and all will be ok.

Someone posted somewhere that they tried inverting colors and that didn't work...
I'll try it for myself tomorrow.
On my DroidX I added the boot logo manually and I had to flip the image itself as well as the hex coding for the image. I guess inverting colors would be the Bionic equivalent to that procedure...

Inverting the colors didn't work.
I'm trying to make everything have a red glow.
I tried making it blue to it would change to red, and i got this weird orange color (Do you know the exact code for the blue that inverts to Red?)
I tried making it red, then inverting, and i got a nasty green/yellow color.

[Q] All Black Everything

So i have been trying to get a black background that is truly black.
everything i have tried has left a slight hue on the background. back 2 black is not supported or i would have tried that.
is there any way to get background to remain off completely and only light the pixels for the icons, clock, notification etc etc. i notice the info bar at the top is darker than my black background and no matter what i cant get the background to go completely black.
my reasoning is if i make the icons into line art, and keep as much of the screen off wherever i can i can stretch battery life even further. it worked wonders on my gs2. But having a slightly glowing background ruins all that.

I'm not sure whether it's supported, but you can try making a monochrome bitmap-file (.bmp) in MsPaint. At least you are sure this way that the black is truly black.
Have you tried using different launchers? Are you sure the hue is not just your icons giving some 'bleeding'?

thanks, i will give that a try.
its the same with go launcher and touchwiz. its actually magnified on the lockscreen showing lots of banding.

Try this pic. I use it on mine and looks black

My first Note did this so I sent it back. My new one does not do it.

still no luck, apps with black backgrounds look fine.
i tried an all black bitmap and that didnt work either.
is there any way to turn background off and just leave it blank? would that give me a pure black background?
like i said i dont think its a hardware problem since the app backgrounds look deep black unlike the wallpaper. i did see something about the note only being 16 bit and that was causing weird display issues due to scaling or something, blah blah.

its using 24bits

thats right, the note is 24 bit and the os operates in 16 bit currently, right? either way i need to find a way to fix it.

I used a plain black GIF. Works fine for the home screen background, but on lock screen it has barely noticeable dark gray lines in it until you touch it and the unlock symbol appears.

here is the one i made
this black is one color 24 bit png on my note it is completely black at any brightness. let me know if it works. 800 x 1280 black correct dpi blackground

or download "no wallpaper" from the market - simple app that just adds a wallpaper that is totally black. Works a treat.

Try an app called COLOURS by Tim Clark

[Q] How to get rid of white light?

Is there an easy way to get rid of the white background screen that Samsung seems to be changing everything to?
I don't like it and would like to set a black background again (dialer, messaging, settings, ect...). The screen is to bright with the white light.
Can this only be achieved through root?

You will just need to have patience and wait another day or two until the twrp custom
recovery gets done, until then why not try to get used to all the white backgrounds. LOL

All we can do is wait until custom recovery and mods start to surface. I hate this white stuff as well, hard on the eyes. When AOSP floats up we won't need this shotty touchwiz stuff :b.

You could also use an Xposed module like wanam. I haven't tested it yet, but theres an option to change many of the system light (and dark) backgrounds. I'll try it.

Custom values for LED color combos? Help.....I've searched!

Can anyone point me to an existing thread or PM an external link to me? I'm specifically looking for color codes or a proper "how to" with using the custom values for app notification lights. (ex red/white light, blue/white light......how to easily use this color key.
TIA :good:

Dang! Desperation bump........

try LightFlow from PlayStore and you have to be rooted

Our led light is crap for customizing. It's literally a blue, a red, and a green led next to each other. You can't really mix the colors to make white or purple or anything like that. You can turn those 3 on or off one at a time or 2 at a time using lightflow.
