Starting with the lock screen, we can see a transparent status bar up top with white icons. There is a camera icon in the corner, that can be dragged to open the camera.
We can also notice the transparent nav bar at the bottom, new App Drawer icon, and an ugly Phone icon. The black background of the App Drawer is also gone.
One thing to notice here: there is no SMS app, so if the leaks are to be believed, SMS will be integrated into Hangouts app.
The current Location access screen will simply be called Location. On this screen the checkboxes labeled GPS Satellites and Wi-Fi & mobile network location have been removed and are replaced with more simplified options that replicate the same functionality: High accuracy, battery saving, and device sensors.

That launcher is ugly (like TW) but I can't wait to get my hands on 4.4

Seems legit, but that phone icon...

Can't wait for 15 October

Dafuq? Nearly as ugly as the google play music icon
Nevertheless, I don't need that much leaked images. One image to flash would be enough

Sweet. Hopefully Tuesday will be a release date.

From those pictures the most interesting thing for me is the "recent location requests" list. All the rest is just minor UI changes.

Damn the app drawer is transparent...

Looks cool

How is that a major ui change? Based on those few screenshots above It looks like holo got some tweaks.

Thought the title meant FACTORY images. Bummer.

Cool wallpaper advice

Use the NexusKang LWP from the market and download the default honeycomb wallpaper from the SDK. Set it as your custom background and use the color scheme SoftBlues. Really looks sick.

Does it affect battery life drastically? Ive been using Starfield lately and its awesome with the black background with the stars flying by. It uses little to no extra battery.

Live wallpapers will always increase battery drain. Better coded ones use less but it's still going to be significantly more than a conventional one.

On that screen I'm using
Turtle Photo Frame - cycles through photos in a specified folder. It's really nice and light on battery.
Widgetsoid 2.x for battery indicator
Beautiful Widgets 1x1 for weather
Digital Clock Widget for time - have it linked to Alarms.

As someone said it all really depends on the coding of the LWP - the one I've recommended is NexusKang. It's a TeamDouche creation which means you can count on it being well written. At the end of the day it uses about 2-4% of my total battery drain.

Looks great although a bit plain, anyway to make the bee move around for example fly around and spell android in the honeycomb blue. Just an idea!

You need to push the bootanimation.zip to /system/media folder on your device.

My first impression is whoa! I'm very impressed. I'm not a fan of blue themes but this is tastefully done and not overbearing blue. I like the use of gradients and miui inspired notifications. Dialer screen is nice too. I'm using and evo lte which is xdpi and on paranoid android an aosp Rom. Some minor things might need attention but I'll post screen shots and more details when i have spent more time with this theme.

THANKs
Looks impressive! Downloading and installing now.
Edit: looks great with Codename 3.6.5. Getting some black text on black background (like the Tapatalk post editing screen), but not bad.
Very nice departure from the typical CM10 themes out there.

CoooL

Usually I absolutely hate "future" themes but this is great! Thank you for porting it to cm.
I guess you used a label theme as base? On many occasions you still see it. For example the notification from what's app, play store etc are still label ones instead of angel, also the overglows
I am really looking forward for updates to this theme

Strange theme idea: caf inverted colors

I know you guys have heard of Caf and have expressed your hatred for it but here's my idea. After seeing some pictures of messed up screens I thought wow if that was a theme that would be pretty badass. It looked super slick
Any of you themers wanna try to.make a theme like that?

Should just have an option like in iOS to enable inverted colors.
Nooo.. Inverted colors maybe are a good theme idea, inverting system color it's not a good deal, check out at the smurfs skin color in gallery app

You seem a bit strange
If you want even more funky colours, just stare at the sun for like 5 min non stop and then look at your phone, results guaranteed! (I take no liability for any eyesight loss and/or 'incident's' that may occur whilst you are spaced out staring at the sun)

Favorite Live Wallpapers Thread

I don't know about you guys, but I love me some Live Wallpapers.
I thought it would be nice to compile our recommendations in one thread. I'll start us out. (Only posting free versions but I prefer paid versions)

The only LWP I keep coming back to. Subtle & doesn't eat battery.
Funny I saw this. I actually posted on G+ how I'm not using LWPs anymore with the N5 when I only used them on my N4. Don't know why really.
But... Here's one of my favorites:

Didn't you read about this?
There was a red galaxy I had back on my nexus one. Was the same as the stock but was red hue instead of that purple/blue. Lost it and have never been able to find it.
Anyone seen anything like that?
