Today have see a thread in Android-General/Themes section with an info about inbuildet Themes in Google Keyboard,have tested and yes it have Themes,i have screenshots from my Phone addet.
--------------------
How to get the Themes?
Follow the lil tut under this words.
-------------------------
1.you first need an application that lets you create shortcuts to app activities. Some apps that let you do that:Nova or Apex Launcher.The following instructions assume you've installed Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher,but you can also use simple apps like Activity Getter.
-------------------------
2.long press the homescreen and pick"shortcuts"and then"activities".
-----------------------------
3.scroll to the Google Keyboard entry,expand the list of activities and pick "Android keyboard debug settings".
-------------------
4.you'll create a shortcut for this activity.Tap the new shortcut and you should see this settings page:
----------------------
5.tap "Keyboard theme" and pick one of the themes:Basic,Basic(High Contrast),Stone(normal),Stone (bold),Gingerbread.IceCreamSandwich is the default theme.
------------------------
6.use the shortcut you've created to change the theme.
-----------------------------------
Now the Pics from me to show how it looks!!!!!Have fun :laugh:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BTW... to me, it's not google keyboard, its Android Keyboard (AOSP)
Basic does not work on cm10, neither cm10.1
And if you don't want to change launcher, you can do the same with lockscreen shorcuts, you can "shorcut" a activity, and then delete it after you change the theme
mine is AOSP too from Barts PacMan Rom.
Hello
Good keyboard!

I am working on customizing the android open source code's Launcher2 application. The modification I have brought to the Launcher2 application is such that, when I install an APK with some drawable resources , it would change the icons for some applications(browser, calculator and calendar) in Launcher screen and in home screen(if the application exists as shortcut) - as part of theming.
I have created a section in Settings application from which a user can apply new theme which would change these icons. While the user applies the new theme, a temp directory is created in Settings app which holds this newly applied icons. From this temp directory, Launcher app takes the icon resources and applies it to these applications on device reboot. But at the moment of applying the Themes from settings app, it does nothing in order that the Launcher app does some kind of refresh.
In a nutshell, the issue I have here is when I press the 'Change theme' button from my installed application, it does not change the icons immediately. Instead, I need to close the emulator and open it again in order to see the icons modified in Home and Launcher screens.
Why does this happen such that I need to restart the emulator to see the changed icons? What is the workaround I have for this? What are the classes and methods in ICS Launcher2 app, such that I can do some kind of refresh of Launcher app.
Any help in this regard would be much appreciated as I have been looking to fix this fr quite some days!!.
Regards, Anees
First Post....
I'm A Noob.... Go Easy On Me
This is a tutorial on how to make your phone look like ICS with no root require...i recommend you have some space freed and a SD card to move some apps in there of the ones i will tell you to download.
THINGS NEEDED: (WILL PUT LINKS IF NEEDED -.-)
1. Get Holo Launcher From Market
2.Go SMS Pro and the Go SMS ICS Theme.
3.The Picture of the SMS icon (blue) to change the ugly green one it puts (holo launcher lets you change their picks) (pic download ALL the way in the bottom)
4. ice cream sandwich keyboard (brings instructions)
5. exDialer ICS theme
6. ICS live wallpaper
Intructions
1 in home screen on bottom you should see the call pic, contact pics and messaging pics. Long tap hold them and delete them NOT THE APP DRAWER. Then drag the sms ap and put where the old one was and grab the exdialer calling app and put where it goes and drag the contact that came with the exdialer and put where contacts used to go. now log tap them again and change the messaging pic with he one i gave you (should put where your pics go so easier to find) and change it to that. no for exdialer contact long tap and change icon for holo launcher icon pack and choose the contact icon holo launcher brang and put the calling icon holo launcher brang for dial... (note also apply themes in exdialer and go sms pro of ICS you should have downloaded.
2. apply live wallpaper and then hide it from your apps you csn also click the app drawer and hit "menu" on your phone and choose hide apps andhide the apps you have like the dial and messaging icons costumized when yourin home screen.
3. set ICS keyboard as your preffered one. (brings instructions)
DONE!
I know im not good.... but if i helped you please tell me also tell me what i can improve on.. thanks :good:

Google Keyboard Themes
If you use the stock Android keyboard, which is also available in the Play Store, you can change the look and feel of the keyboard. Google Keyboard has a few themes you can choose, but they're not available in the settings.
Here's a quick way to pick a different theme, assuming your device runs Android 4.0 or later:
1. you first need an application that lets you create shortcuts to app activities. Some apps that let you do that: Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher, probably the best Android launchers. The following instructions assume you've installed Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher, but you can also use simple apps like Activity Getter.
2. long press the homescreen and pick "shortcuts" and then "activities".
3. scroll to the Google Keyboard entry, expand the list of activities and pick "Android keyboard debug settings".
4. you'll create a shortcut for this activity. Tap the new shortcut and you should see this settings page:
5. tap "Keyboard theme" and pick one of the themes: Basic, Basic (High Contrast), Stone (normal), Stone (bold), Gingerbread. IceCreamSandwich is the default theme.
6. use the shortcut you've created to change the theme.

The last one should be with the "Ice Cream Sandwich" setting.
The reason why it's black is most definitely a Theme applied through theme manager or
the rom is already themed.
Yes that's what I thought just wanted to be sure since the ROM I am running does not have a theme manager and I am trying to get my keyboard like that

Android is very OPEN SOURCE, MODIFIABLE and its got MATERIAL DESIGN........BUT
Lets face it, sometimes iOS just wins our hearts......not that its very open or modifiable, but it has a distinctive look like no other, its smooth UI, elegant look, and gorgeous icons..............They just WOW us sometimes
But like I said Android is highly customizable
We Androidians have the advantage of doing countless things to our phone...
So those of U who want a little Apple-y look are at the right place
In this guide i'm gonna guide U to Apple-ify your Android device............
NOTE: I'll be guiding in this thread using Nova Launcher and all download links are given below in DOWNLOAD ZONE
BUT IF SOMEONE IS LOOKING FOR AN iOS LAUNCHER, I HAVE JUST THE APP,AND ITS PAID VERSION, LINK BELOW IN DOWNLOAD ZONE { iLauncher} newer
SO LETS BEGIN
We gotta start from some point so lets Apple-ify our Home Screen first
1. Home Screen
Speaking of home screens, most (me included) still prefer the ''App Drawer" of Android instead of dumping all apps on home screens, so i'll go on with that, because it looks neat that way too....:good:
But if someone is still interested in Apple's home-screen, I prefer them to try Hola OR iLauncher, however they lack some of the things that Nova has......haha
1.1 Making an iHome Screen in Nova
Steps for Desktop customization:
1. Install Nova Launcher from the Google Play Store. It's free, though I highly recommend Nova Launcher Prime as it has all the features, including the gesture shortcuts which will be supportive for Quick Settings.
2. Open Nova Settings, then Desktop.
3. Open Desktop grid and expand the grid from 5 rows to 6 by dragging the current row number (5) up until the 6 takes its place and the preview grid shows six rows.
4. Press Done
Steps for Dock customization:
1. Open Dock.
2. Open Dock icons and drag the 5 to the right until 4 takes its place and you see four squares in the preview dock instead of 5.
Steps for Folder BG customization:
1. Download iOS BG.png, save it
2. Open Nova Settings, then Folders
3. In Folder preview, select Grid.
4. In Folder background, select Custom.
5. Browse the iOS BG.png you downloaded and select it.
Now the grids will be Apple-ified but, icons are yet to come......
1.2 Applying Apple icon packs(Apple-esque)
Applying Apple like icons is quite simple......All u need is an Icon Pack, i suggest Adastra Icon Pack, its free as well....
Steps for applying Icon Packs:
1. Install the pack from Google Play.
2. Open Nova Settings, then Look & feel.
3. Open Icon theme and select your icon pack from the list of icon packs.
4. Go back and enjoy your icons.
NOTE: (Optional) If the icons look too small in the launcher, you can turn off Normalize icon size in Look & feel to try and boost the size of the icons. If you're a Nova Launcher Prime user, you can enlarge your icons on the Desktop, Dock, and App & widget drawer using the Icon layout option in each of those menus.
1.3 Manually using Apple icons
Well this can take some of your precious time.....but naa its totally worth it....Lets geooo
Steps for manually using Apple Icons:
1. Download the provided Stock Icon.zip
2. Now, you'll need to extract the icons using a file manager app like ES File Explorer.
4. Long-press on one of the app shortcuts on your home screen you'd like to replace.
5. Edit the shortcut.
6. Tap the icon to edit the icon.
7. Choose Gallery apps
8. Select Documents to bring up a document browser.
9. Find the folder you saved your stock icons to and select your intended iOS icon.
10. Tap Done to confirm your custom icon.
11. Tap Done in the shortcut edit window to confirm your edits.
1.4 Wallpapers for your Andro-iOS Device( thats what i call it:laugh
Well u can get them from Google or anywhere, but anyways i'll give a download link for some cool Apple-y wallpapers....
If you want your wallpaper to move, you can turn on Wallpaper scrolling in Nova Settings > Desktop > Scroll > Wallpaper Scrolling.
2. Quick Settings Panel
Thanks to Nova Launcher Prime's Gestures, you can even set Swipe Up to Expand Quick Settings. But if you want a quick settings panel that looks more familiar, well, there's an app for that. Smart Control is just the app for it, just install, enable and swipe baby....
3. iOS style Messenger
Lets just say we have an alternate for iMessage for Android. Textra is just the app, its got all the customization that makes your Andro-iOS Device even more WOWING, u can change the message bubbles to the iOS shaped ones and the theme and color. And ur done.....
4. iOS style Lock Screen
Yes, of course, everything is available on Play Store these days, just like this cool iOS Lock Screen app called Passcode Lock Screen, its very popular too and looks like an exact copy of the iOS LS.
U just have to install it and download ur favorite theme and ur good to go.
5. iOS style Assisstive Touch button
Just install and enable, and this button will just float around all day, waiting for u to tap it, it's got boost option and much more, and gives an Apple-y feel too.
6. iOS style Calender
Well, this is for those "DIE HARD" Apple lovers who want Apple in everything, so a good calender app that will give u the Apple look is Cal. Just install and see for yourselves.
7. iOS style Notification Bar new
Lets add a more Apple-y look to our Andro-iOS Device, just install the given ''iNoty'' Apple themed notification, set it up, configure it and enjoy. It will give a good transparent look and the real Apple like notification access.I'll give links to iOS 10 and iOS 9 style notification bars, download any of them, of your own choice.
8. iOS Boot Animations new
Now you'll feel Apple even more when you turn on your phone,the boot anims i have given are simple boot logo of white apple and black apple, follow the simple steps to get them on your device,( 320x480 will fit perfectly) others are expected to work...
See the attached images of Black logo and White logo........
.....ROOT NEEDED....
Steps for applying Apple boot animations:
1. Download "Boot Animations" app from the link
2. Download any of the boot animations
3. Open "Boot Animations" app and grant root access
4. Tap the "Install from local storage" button
5. Navigate the boot animation and select Install
6. Reboot and Enjoy the Apple-y feeling
9. iOS style Keyboard new
Well, to keep it simple and cool, im talking about our very own "Google Keyboard", which is very customizable, from themes to colors and much more,its got the full white theme which is totally Apple, so how do u get it,....just follow my steps
Steps for getting iOS style Keyboard:
1. Download "Google Keyboard" from the link given
2. Install it
3. Go to Settings>Language and Input and set as "Default" keyboard
4. To get the full white theme, Go to your apps drawer and open Google Keyboard
5. You will see another interface, tap "Theme" and choose the white theme
Now type like your'e typing on an iPhone.....:good:
10. iOS style Keyboard #2 newer
Its a better keyboard and copies that of Apple keyoboard, download below and enjoy. {Apple Keyboard }
11. iOS style Camera newer
Its a great camera app, that has the same UI of iOS camera, its called GEAK CAMERA, download below and enjoy.
12. iOS Quick Settings #2 newer
Smart Control is good BUT for some users, it says "Your device does not support flashlight", so to get that out of the way, there is Control Center, its better, smoother and flashlight works.Download below and enjoy.
