New user with samsung background question - Android Themes

A vey good afternoon.
My name is Claudio from Italy.
I'm about to purchase my new galaxy alpha.
Premise: I change my phone every 6 months, have had iphones, notes and etc... But the best has always been my sensation XL.
I loved the animated weather lockscreen and widget and never found a way to bring them to my samsungs or Iphones. Any of you made it? I mean, there are similar lockscreens and widgets but that was absolutely fantastic!!!!! Said that........
Is there any chance to change the black background in the samsung menu to white or at least silver?
I really hate that black background.
Thank to everyone who will help.
Claudio

[THEMING] Post your theme requests here...

Hello everyone!
I've got a quick and simple question for you: what themes do you want?
Name a theme you like, and I'll let you know if I can port it. If I can, I'll get in contact with the developer to get permission, then it'll end up here as a Clockwork-flashable .zip file.
Easy, simple, painless.
And, as a special thanks to anyone who donated previously, send me a PM if you've got any theme requests or special changes and I'll see if I can make it happen!
I don't know about theming, because I've always used a custom launcher and kind of dig the dialer they gave us on the Revo (it looks like the one on Go Launcher), and the power buttons in the taskbar being stock is kind of cool too.
But I kind of always liked the circle battery taskbar theme along with the ability to throw the percentage in there. I think the former is an actual theme part, and the latter is part of CM?
edit: and as far as donations are concerned, after all you've done for this community, and the time you spent on this device, that you don't even own, you don't owe me anything (I and this community technically owe you) I'll make requests from time to time, but don't feel that you have to meet them. Just suggestions.
I used to use NexTheme on my droid but any theme that has black (or dark background) with white (light) fonts will do. I just think that contacts, email, messaging, etc should have the same color scheme as the rest of the phone interfaces/apps (i.e.: settings, alarm clock, calculator, etc.)
how about the pull down being transparent. a theme like CyanGalaxy and frost with the aosp froyo sliders or gingerbread sliders.

Any particular theme in mind?
(also, anyone else played with the Evo3d? Friend dropped his off at my house this morning so I could try to root it along with the other devs. It's _really_ cool!)
yup, i work in the mobile field and played with the evo 3d.... i believe i have fallen in love with sense again, 3.0 atleast the locksreen is pretty amazing, wish something like that could be ported over to the Revo. has anyone tried that new honeycomb launcher?
Why do I keep going Verizon? Axing their unlimited plan, highest rates of any carrier, and inferior phones compared to lower end competitors.......
I was seriously considering switching to Sprint after the announcement of the relinquishing of the unlimited plan.
Had the Evo 3d been available at the time, that may have convinced me to take the plunge.
Kind of makes me sad...
This is pretty slick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027492
Here is a port for the charge: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125309
I'm diggin that theme Majorpay.
hey thecubed, will these themes be sent out individually to the person who request it or will it be released to the public.
Released to the public, I should have them done here shortly. I'm working on porting the the stock Gingerbread theme firstly-- the come the requests. (I like the GB theme )

If you already have their unlimited 4g plan then you arent going to lose it. You are grandfathered and to change your plan would be to break your contract. Same things happened to me with other aspects of the plan. I pay 5 bucks a month for 1000 texts to anyone not verizon and unlimited texts to other verizon, I have had this plan sine 2004 and they obviously stopped it back then. I just havent edited my text package and therefore still have the same plan. Same concept different part of their service. Oh and Cubed, thanks so much for what you are doing, and the basic 411 you gave me, and I would love to see the white chrome ported.
theme like evil fascination
i came from the fascinate and loved evil fascination theme. would love to see the extra's like black facebook, blackened sms and mms. and so forth.
If we could get theme chooser on here so we can just download whatever from the market that'd be awesome. The vivid theme on there is very nice!

I am a fan of the darker themes myself so I'd go for an evil revo theme
I would LOVE to see just about anything ported over from Miui.. Heres a thread with some amazing lock screens that would look great on our nice big screen =)

Think this is possible to move over to Revo?
Hey Thecubed, I dig the go launcher ink icons. But they have like 12. An expanded library of them would be stellar.
I like the HTC Thunderbolt dock.
Most of all, I like clean lines, and a dang near clear home screen. I use Go Launcher, so my swipe down motion opens the status bar. The only thing I have going on is the dock bar.
Edit... Alright. So I downloaded HeLauncher. I love it. I like the different options. So I have been playing with the Samsung Theme. I dig it.
I use the "Paperless system" adw theme. It would be neat to see the theme extended into the taskbar, keyboard, ect...

[Q] Questions about Sense flip clock and theming the notification bar.

Hey guys,
I really love the HTC One and Sense 5 but I would love to see some changes to it.
I like Sense 5 but I don't bother switching to a GE Rom. However, I would love the HTC One Flip clock
as a widget on Nova. Not a fake one like HD Widgets but the real deal.
Also, Is it possible to change/theme/mod the notification bar to the Stock android one, we can't just like install a theme and install it like on devices like the Galaxy Nexus I used to have.
Anyone know if this is possible? I could'nt find any thing similar on xda to answer my questions..
Thanks in advance!

Im currently using Viper rom. It has a fantastic themed sense 5 clock in black and red.
Ive also used a Beautiful widget Sense 4 style clock, and it looks spot on.
The Sense flip clock, can only be used on Sense, and I take it this is what you mean when you say HTC One flip clock.
My current set up with out a flip clock. Which is not normal for me. As like you, I love the original Sense 4, or 5 Flip clock

[Q] What happened to the S-Health Widget???

hey all,
So I received my S6 yesterday and have been spending the day setting it all to my liking. I have a Nexus 6 so ill be using the 20 day grace period to see if this phone is going to be the one i want to keep going forward.
I had the Note 4 and Galaxy s5 for a little bit and loved the S Health app/widget. the widget had the Coach by Cigna on it and could easily access the heart rate and pedometer info. I am using TW, havent done a thing to the phone but no matter what I do the S Health Widget only has the foot icon and step count....... What the heck happened to the awesome widget?? I failed to see a thread that discussed this so i figured I would give it a shot here...
Does anyone know how to get that widget back? I tried different launchers to see if that would help but it didnt... still only gave me the basic, ugly, useless 4x1 widget. Thanks in advance!! I attached the scrappy widget.
Love the forum... ive been browsing for years but never actually posted anything.
Guess no one likes S Health lol

The "temporary fix" is to uninstall the recent update. When the f**ktards at samsung made the app available via google store, they "updated" the interface, and now it looks like sh*t.
Uninstall the most recent update and don't update again until you can see if they redid the interface to be more attractive again. Its again the testiment to arrogant Ahole developers that think they have to materially change something by making it look less attractive or more like the latest microsoft windows trend.
In this case they took away a nice looking set of graphics, replaced it with a flat color box (or as in your case, the transparent one .. you do have that option transparent or solid green) and it looks like sh*t very disappointed.
Thanks for the reply. Still no fix to the widget so I guess unless I can install the note 4 version were screwed.

After you uninstall the newest version, you should have 5 widget options
if not familiar, to add a widget, long press on any page, click the "Widget" and then scroll backwards through the pages ("S" near the end of the widgets) until you get to S Health. It should appear to be at least 4 4x1 blocks, when you tap this, it should expand, and show you 5 widget options. The top two 4x1's show signa on them.

No luck. Still only rhe one 4x1 with just the steps. I'm returning the phone anyway. 20 day period almost up and I'll be sticking with the Nexus 6. Camera great, but phone is not.
Thanks for your help though. That's why this is forum is best.

[Q] New touch wiz icons theme?

So I have seen the new icons for the upcoming Note 5 and GSedge+ and I seriously dislike the fact that the S line wasn't updated to these, Would anyone be able to create a theme with those new icons I honestly have no real gripes with how touch wiz looks now besides those darn icons! :crying:
I would try my hand at making the theme myself but have no idea to do so I've also tried to just change the icons but can't get the phone icon to change because of permission reasons and the app drawer button
If anyone would be so kind to give it a shot I would be very delighted or if there's something I'm missing on how to change all of the icons that would be awesome too thanks!
The latest update to the unbranded international edition has this feature. Makes me believe it will be brought to the carrier branded devices.
Oh wow that's good to hear thanks for the reply was beginning to give up any hope will keep my fingers crossed for that and the added apps edge that's in the GS6+
Hah, as we've seen though, AT&T shouldn't exactly inspire faith with updates at all. We're pretty far behind the 5.1.1 update other carriers have released, and that update didn't even include the new icons.

[LIVE WALLPAPER][FREE] Simple gradient live wallpaper

Hello I was searching for a gradient animated wallpaper for my Galaxy S20 to enjoy the beautiful screen. I didn't find what I wanted on the store, so I decided to make one.
I use it since 2 weeks and have no problem with it so far (I payed attention to the battery consumption). So I decided to release it on the play store. It's totally free without ads or crazy permissions. Hope you'll enjoy!
