Before installing this theme you must have the Lite version of JF 1.42 RC33, which can be found here.
This is my most complete theme thus far which includes icons, a menu bar, status bar images, etc. (Even a custom blue android during bootup)
My wife directed this theme and gave tips which probably made it better
If theres anything you notice that needs to be corrected or if you have suggestions, please leave feedback. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, yea i'm having trouble finding the pictures icon file lol, still searching though. I do plan on going systemwide and adding more to it little by little.
well keep it up....great work.
Im also not personally a fan of the status bar. but only because im not a fan of gradients, doesnt really detract from the theme at all.

I've located the pictures icon and will have an update in a few mins. I'm pretty sure i'll be changing the status bar and drop down bar to match the clock a bit more.
aiight, love the changes...one flaw now...the top bar for the folders....must be coded wrong or something because once selected it becomes distorted severely. I'll post a screenshot.
Thats why we dont edit .9.png files, unless you know the technique that someone has posted here somewhere.
well hopefully he figures it out or someone helps him out with it....its a good theme. and if he figures it out and goes system wide it could be a GREAT theme.
Up until this point, I've never seen a theme that looked slick enough to actually use, without being too niche. I've been tirelessly searching for a theme that just looked good, but wasn't too over-the-top. However, this theme struck me as just that, and installing it as my first theme, I must say I'm impressed.
I only have two complaints -- firstly, as mentioned, the top of the folder menu becomes distorted when selected. Secondly, I would like to see the blue color scheme more deeply integrated into the phone, replacing the orange color when making a selection, if possible. I recall seeing it in a theme somewhere else, so I believe it can be done. I know working with the .9. files are tricky, but I feel that with a little more effort, this can be an A+ theme.
Changing the music icons (Artists, Albums, Songs, and Playlists) would also be nice, if only changing the icons from green to blue.
Also, I find the background to be just a little too much. I think this one would make a good default; it meshes nicely with the color scheme:

Thanks all for the feedback, its appreciated. Ill definately fix up the folder bar and start incorporating some additional icons to the music window & player, etc. Ill post an update soon today with the changes for the folder.
Excellent looking theme, honestly its beautiful, but I always have trouble downloading from megaupload so maybe if you could change the filehosting site to something more convenient that would be awesome. Don't stop making themes, you clearly have a gift 8D
I generally don't post a lot of feedback. I have just recently started my first theme. And didn't feel that posting feedback till I was contributing to the site was truely justified. (My upcoming theme is a US Presidential theme. With heads of presidents as icons....hopefully I can manage it.)
Back on topic now. I love the theme. It is my newest downloaded theme and my favorite. My only notice is when you go "menu" "wallpaper" "wallpaper gallery" it force closes android desktop. When I choose pictures instead of gallery it works perfect. I know its small, but thought I would let you know. Even with this, I love the theme. Wife wants to know if you have it in Pink, lol. Keep up the great work.

One other issue I've noticed with the theme is that on the very, very bottom of the home screen, there's a bright blue line going across horizontally -- the top of the pull-out drawer. While this may have been your intention, I personally find it a bit distracting. Just my opinion. I feel the theme would be a tad bit better-looking if the line was simply not there, like with the stock appearance.

New Icons for Androkkid "TransparentFrames" finally!
These new Icons should work better for those of you who have like me found the standard winmo icon ugly and pixelated.
I have always thought that some of the IPhone's attraction was the beautiful icons that were uniform in size and shape. So I made my own for Ifonz (based on other people's graphic work). When Androkkid came along I loved the scenic wallpapers you could use but I thought the beautiful scenery of the wallpapers became too cluttered with the IPhone style icons and that the square icons ruined the effect of the beautiful wallpapers.
So these new icons are designed to preserve a uniform style and at the same time be better integrated into the "scenery" by using transparency.
I hope that some of you will have a look at these and tell me what you think
PS If you resize these, they will not work. If they are resized by Androkkid they are fine.
If you want to use these and need other icons, ask me on the themes Thread and I'll see what I can do.
!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!

New!!! Golden Frames
For those who really want to pimp up our phones
here are some Screenshots
The theme used is Teacher's Gold which you find below with the icons
More Screenshots
and even more
the icon files
Finally the iconfiles!
Please consider to try them out, I don't think they are as beautifull as some of the Iphone like icons, like the ones made by bluemetalaxe or Stereo's Leopard, but when you see them glide across the scenery in Androkkid they feel much more integrated into the scenery than the Iphone like icons which leave kind of a square hole in the scenery, however beautiful they are. So what do you have to loose, give 'em a try:
Edit have added new iconfile today 15/12-09 they are now checked out for "white and black" holes and should be okay

Transparent Icons
These look nice, thank you very much! Any chance you could add a couple more icons to the package (96x96): SMS, Voicemail, Calender, Missed Calls? Or, just tell me how to make these myself and I'll take a stab at it, there's a few web icons I'd like, too. Thanks again!

I'll gladly tell you how I made these, but first here are some suggestions for icons, but what do you mean by an icon for "missed calls" In Androkkid you get a small red circle with the number of missed calls you have. If you think about something else give me a hint
Hope you like these

What is problematic with winmo is that it doesn't support "white". In an icon with transparancy, pure white will show up like a black hole in the icon so you have to substitute white with another light white-ish color.
Another problem is this: When a graphic program like gimp or photoshop compresses a png to a smaller size. it conserves the smoothness of the png by making semitransparant pixels, these are not supported either and show up like white holes in the icons.
If you just index the png it will avoid the semitransparent pixels, but it will scale down with a very crude and pixelated result.
My way around this is to put the compressed png in a frame filled with a very nondescript greyish color. Then I have to eraze all the grey color and decide pixel by pixel which pixels have enough color to let them remain.
This is why it takes so much time to resize these icons. I have to do this every time. In the icon files I have uploaded you can find both an empty and a filled frame.
If you want to try this for yourself you are very welcome to do so but remember that you have test each icon on your phone to find "holes" before you publish them.
PS I haven't tested the last batch of seven icons yet but I will test them before I publish a zip file with extra icons.
PS Gimp is a fantastic graphic program which you can download for free here
Best of luck
Missed Calls
And here's a missed calls icon in three colors
Icons
These all look great, and wow that was fast! By "missed calls" I should have put "Call History" or "Call Log", but it looks like you got the gist with the icons because they're perfect! I'm probably pushing my luck, but maybe a "Tasks" icon? It's the only request I can think of off the top of my head. I'll check out the app you suggested tonight and see if I can create a few "Web" graphics, thanks again!

New Theme
Am I the first to produce a new theme for Androkkid?
Let me introduce Obsidian, for those who might prefer a more businesslike theme.
It has been developed on a QVGA screen so I have no idea whether it will work on other screen resolutions.
Just unzip and place the Obsidian folder in the Androkkid Themes folder. It will then be available to select under Settings
The Title buttons (more than shown) can be found in the Obsidian theme folder along with a blank if you wish to make different titles (I can make others if you aren't able to do that). I set the size of the Title buttons to 128 x 32 in Androkkid settings and they have to be positioned, as for any other icon. They can also be used as shortcuts as per normal icons. For example, in my setup, I have the Contact button pointing to my address book.
The 'Lock' Icon on the Home page is not part of the theme but has been designed to match. I have included that icon in the Obsidian theme folder, but none of the other icons.
8 December 2009
Obsidian.zip updated for compatibility with Androkkid 1.2.0.0 (inclusion of TopBarIcons,png) and correction of transparency problem with Edit & Delete buttons
15 December 2009

There already is a cleanram icon (the one with the broom) but if you don't like it I can make another. For SoftReset I use the icon from the icon pack called "exit" (I use "Slide2shutdown" myself) There also is a bluelock (ScreenLock) in the iconpack I have that one in green and red too
I don't know which sound widget you mean, please give me a link or something.
Here are some examples, tell me what you think..

With a Globe from Everaldo Coelho's magnificent Crystal themed icons
Edit. Made a new versions of this icon where the arrows stand out more
This is gonna end up sound like a stupid easy fix, but I have searched everywhere and cannot find a way to change the look of the icons.
For one, the button on the left change from "Recents" to some stupid "Flip between two apps you used" that is getting really frustrating.
And two, the icons of the buttons themselves changed somehow. How does one change it back to the regular ones? I am using Resurrection Remix rom and Nova Launcher
Screenshot
Have you changed themes? I'm running the minimal theme and have the same softkeys. Themes will change them. As far as them being switched, I haven't ran Resurrection yet, but there should be something in the settings to flip-flop and edit them I'm sure. Have you changed anything in there?

I guess it's happening for the specific theme you're using as I can see you navigation bar, you seemed to be using a theme, right? If so then it's a normal thing. To switch between styles of navbars of your choice use SoftKeyZ
Thank you for the reply guys. I am indeed using a theme but these styles showed up randomly, days after I installed the theme. I even went as far as installing a completely new theme and they remain. I tried the SoftKeyz app and even that app can't seem to change them. I wouldn't even mind these so much if the left key was the recents and not a switch between last two apps used.
Emotion UI cuts icons corners to make it rounded (iOS like) and adds background to every icon, even to these with transparent parts. It tries to pick at least similar color to icon, but still it looks horrible with many icons. Any idea how to disable this feature?
I agree it doesn't look good at all. The only way to do it is by finding a theme which allows you to have transparent icon backgrounds. Usually a Lollipop or a Material theme will have that.

It is a Q&A thread and a very valid question which many people will have. Even I had it when I got a Huawei phone and eventually figured out you had to change it with themes. Problem is they don't include any themes which disable that by default. So you have to search the web and look all over just to find a theme which supports icons with transparent backgrounds. It's no easy task and honestly it should at least come with one theme out of the box which allows for icons with transparent backgrounds.
The only solution I could find was running a different launcher. I'm running Nova Launcher and a Marshmallow theme now and this has oddly enough made me much happier with my phone.

Hello! I've been going around XDA looking for everything I can get to get as close as possible to Samsung's One UI, the new design language to be released alongside the Android Pie update. As most Samsung users may know the beta for Android Pie and One UI has been released for the Galaxy S9 and S9+, but not for any of the 8 models. Because of this I went on a search to skin my UI to the point that it might as well be One UI. (Aside from all the apps, unfortunately.)
I'm going to make a list including links to everything I've used to get to this point.
Before we get started, to install most of these leak apps, you'll need App Cloner, which is unavailable in the Play Store, so I've provided a download for the App Cloner I have. After installing this, we can get to the interesting stuff.
A reminder that all of this requires NO ROOT.

Here's the App Cloner link.
Mod Edit: Link removed
First off, we've got the most obvious (and easiest) one. Samsung Experience Home 10. This one just requires an app cloner install, fortunately though, XDA has already done that for us right here https://www-xda--developers-com.cdn....com/download-samsung-experience-10-launcher/
A big thanks to them for getting the cloning process over with. After downloading the apk file they've provided simply install it, clear the cache/data and set it as the default launcher. You should end up with something like the screenshots. I recommend the Home Screen Grid to be set to 4x6, and the App Screen Grid to whatever you like. I kept it large to have less pages to go through when searching for apps. I set the grid to 4x6 to further match the render from the One UI apps section on the samsung website.

Is there anyway to import your Home Screen setup from the old Samsung Experience?
Now we have the clock tweaks. This one will require substratum, so if you'd rather not dive into that stuff then feel free to skip this one. Substratum is free but Andromeda is paid so I've included my Andromeda apk.
The first one we'll want is called clock tweaks by @AL_IRAQI. Head over to this page to download it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-center-left-clock-o-t3614824/
You'll want to select and install Left Clock under clock placement in System UI. This will give us the clock on the top left in the status bar, rather than the top right. The next tweak we'll need is called System Mods by Draco. In addition to what we'll be using this tweak offers various other changes, so I suggest you check some of those other ones out. You can get that here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=substratum.draco.systemmods You'll want to install Remove Status Clock AM PM under System UI to remove the AM/PM next to the time. This one is purely optional, but it matches better the One UI render.
A trick I learned from another member named @dj_iiml is to uninstall all tweaks before rebooting as instructed, and then reinstalling them. Reboot after this and the overlays will stay even after a reboot. I also got the clock tweaks info from his thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/note-8-one-ui-look-how-to-t3867346

Unfortunately, I don't think so. Simply because the system doesn't see them as the same apps. I'll look into it and see what I can do.
Let's move on now to Pie system apps. Email, Calculator, Notes, Samsung Browser, Samsung Health and weather are the only ones I've gotten to work besides the launcher. Email, Calculator, Notes, Samsung Health, and the browser can all be installed from apkmirror, but the weather app needs to be downloaded from a ported dump and cloned. https://mega.nz/#F!j5pGSa4Z!wmDI6Ozacrq4yNBl4WlNgQ This is a link to the entire dump, if you want to experiment with other apps, otherwise https://mega.nz/#F!j5pGSa4Z!wmDI6Ozacrq4yNBl4WlNgQ!2th2TALZ is a link to the Weather app only. Just press open in browser to access them. Once you've downloaded the weather app, clone it in App Cloner, install it, and then manually allow all the permissions via settings, you CAN'T allow permissions through the app itself. You can then add a widget to the home screen. It will be the second weather option, because you'll have 2 weather apps. Credits to @corsicanu for the ported files, their original post is here https://forum-xda--developers-com.c...sung-pie-leaked-apps-ported-to-t3856098/page1
Finally we'll apply all the Good Lock 2018 changes. First you'll need Good Lock 2018 from Galaxy Apps. Once you have it downloaded there are 2 apps you'll need to download from inside the app. TaskChanger & LockStar.
First we'll use LockStar to edit the lockscreen. Pick any background you like, and any layout you like, because we'll be changing the layout in a bit. Once you have everything you want, including the clock, you'll want to tap Edit at the top right and arrange the clock and notification bubble like the screenshot below. After you've done this select the plus icon at the bottom right/left of the lock screen and pick what apps you want to be accessible from the lockscreen. Once you've done all this, go ahead and save & apply the lockscreen.
Now we'll move to TaskChanger. Switch it to 'In Use' and then select the scroll effect. I chose linear, but you can pick whichever one you like. Now switch 'Blur Background Effect' on. Now you're all set. You've finally gotten as close to Pie as possible before it's official release. If anyone has any suggestions for other apps or changes to make it even closer to One UI then write it in a reply. In my next post I'll write more optional, less important features that don't get you too much closer to One UI. Thanks for reading this thread and I hope all went well,
Cheers,
RSLPride
LESS IMPORTANT TWEAKS
ClockFace - Good Lock 2018
Clockface provides a few more options for the clocks on the Always On Display and lockscreen. None of them are the stock One UI clocks, but you might find them a little more similar to the One UI clocks.
One Handed Operation + - Galaxy Apps
One handed operation + provides gesture navigation, a feature that will be in One UI. The only problem? The bars are on the sides. This is the only reason I've included this in less important tweaks. In One UI the bars will be on the bottom of the screen, replacing the Navigation Bar.
Battery Percentage - Settings
In setting you can turn off the battery percentage under Display > Status Bar in Settings. It gives a cleaner Status Bar look, but it isn't required.
Search Bar - Google
Make sure you have the latest beta for the Google App installed, then go to the more tab in the app and select 'Customize Widget' select the color palette and then select the Black G on top of white. Then go back and select what looks to be a multi-colored water droplet, and then move the slider all the way to the left or to See Through. This will give your Google Search Bar on the home screen a more One UI look, but it isn't needed to sell the look.
