When it comes to a custom recovery, Team Win Recovery Project (aka TWRP) is, IMHO, the best option available. It's 100% open source, just about anyone can build it, and it's also theme-able, since it's XML driven.
Most people that make themes for TWRP, do it for a phone (portrait style) and not a tablet (landscape style). That's the whole reason behind this thread, to make more themes available to tablet users.
Starting out, I'll be adding links to some portrait themes that I've ported over to landscape. The theme itself will not be my original work, but themes created by others (used with permission of course!) and credit to the author will be noted for each set of themes. All of the zips under the Downloads section are flash-able and can be installed from within TWRP itself.
NOTE: After flashing the zip file, or doing a manual install (see below), you will need to hit the "Home" button (no need to "Wipe Cache/Dalvik). Then, select "Advanced", followed by "Reload Theme" for your new theme to be loaded while still in recovery.
Since Android is also open source, each device is a little bit different, and the themes may need to be installed manually (again, see below). And since this is XDA, I need to make this statement:
KNO'DIS: I, OR ANYONE ELSE AT XDA, WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR "BRICKING" YOUR TABLET!! IF YOU MANAGE TO MAKE A BRICK, DUE TO YOUR "FUN-DA-MENTAL" INABILITY TO READ, GO BUILD A BBQ PIT WITH IT!! (Or ask for help, there's a lot of friendly people around here)
Manual Install
The flash-able zip would install to the following path:
Code:
/data/media/0/TWRP
# And then it creates:
theme/ui.zip
# So, end result would be:
/data/media/0/TWRP/theme/ui.zip
You can use a root file explorer (such as ES) to create this path, if your device uses the "/sdcard" path instead of "/data/media/0". After this has been done, you may be able to flash the zip file with TWRP (untested).
Alternately, you can download the zip(s) you want, and extract to a convenient location on your PC. Then place the "theme" folder in: /data/media/0/TWRP, so TWRP can find it.

Waiting for material theme

Don't hold your breath...
The Materialized theme is far beyond the standard TWRP Theme (obviously). To port it to landscape would require a major rewrite of most, if not all the XML files, as well as resizing all the images.
That endeavor would take weeks (or months) to complete

Never mind... got it downloaded and installed but it still shows up in portrait. What am I doing wrong?

TWRP for NEXUS 7 3G
Please help to make the landscape mode TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 or for v.2.8.7.4-v.3.0.0.0-v.3.0.2.0[/URL] NEXUS 7 3G. He wrote on the forums in its branch for the Nexus, but either one can not or do not want.
@NepoRood,
@G.M.L requested that i get with you about converting his AICP phone theme to tablet layout. Here is a link to the theme G.M.L created https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120700351 and he also gave permission.
When you have time and if you feel like it would be appreciated. Thanks:fingers-crossed:

This is currently for HDPI devices
This is something I made personally to help with constantly merging themes to get the desired look I want. It wasn't until I saw ThemePorter that I thought this would be useful. I plan on developing this to the max if the interest is there. This will allow you to virtually merge any roms no matter what version of android the themed ROM is running (froyo/sense/2.1/2.2). It does this by analyzing the files within the hdpi/mdpi/ldpi folder of the themed ROM and replacing it with the new version only if it exists in the old ROM.
Requirements:
-Windows based PC
-.NET 4.0 framework installed (If you dont currently have it installed, the program should download and install.
-If you have any issues running it, try running as adminstrator
Features
-Mix and match system framework images from different ROMS
-The current version only allows for framework images (status bar icons, buttons, checkboxes, etc..)
Instructions
Important:
**Extract the contents of the zip file to C:\AndroSkinner**
Once the program is installed and loaded, select your current ROM be selecting load from the dropdown. Do the same for the themed ROM. Once both are loaded, click the merge button.
After the program completes the merge, your modified system.framework-res.apk will be in C:\AndroSkinner. You need to push this back to "system\framework\" using ADB.
Important Notes
--I take no responsibility for any damage done to your phone--
There is still a possiblity that you may get a bootloop after pushing modified framework back to your phone so I reccommend creatin a nandroid backup. Depending on the themes you chose to merge the level of elements combined will vary. All I can say is try and report back. There may be something I can do to fix it.
Planned Upgrades
-Make it universal (right now it only supports hdpi)
-Convert mdpi themes to hdpi themes? (Not sure if possible)
-Ability to chose which items you want to merge IE: Only status bar icons, Only buttons, or combination of the both
-Automatically push the new framework to your phone
-Optionally create a metamorph to be used for flashing
-Optionally create an update.zip for flashing
-View which items were merged
-Merging things other then the system framework
-TBD
Please submit any bugs any ideas for future improvement. You are what will make this an useful tool or not

I keep getting an error. Tried different roms, different themes, XP 32bit and Win7 64 bit.

I'll be working on this tonight. The issue stems from it looking for the framework-res.apk in a full ROM. It then looks for the res/drawable-hdpi/ folder within that apk. It looks like there is no res folder in your framework-res.apk.

Thanks a lot. Something i'm doing wrong?
I finally was able to run it all the way through without getting the "res" error, but it did not create a folder under c:\Androskinner. Not sure if it was 100% complete or not.
I do all my Theme tweaks the long way so cant wait until the next update.

Click in the Thumbnail for individual screenshots:
The Theme Flashed as an update.zip using the stock recovery mode or using MetaMorph.
It has been tested on I897UCJF6 and I897UCJH7. I cannot vouch that it will work on any other ROM.
A number of HTC elements have been blended while retaining a Droid “feel”. For example: It retains the android blue highlights vice the HTC Green. There really are too many changes to describe. Give it a try.
If you don’t like it, Return it back to the stock. I’ve included that too.
Note... Stock MetaMorph Revert: Due to Metamorph limitations the battery will remain 1-100%, but it will look stock (original SRE).
The Theme uses a blend of my custom graphics and source graphics from:
EVO 4G (many customized)
SRE 1-100% Battery (fully customized)
Changes are made to:
framework-res.apk
twframework-res.apk
Settings.apk
Email.apk
Gmail.apk
Mms.apk
MediaProvider.apk
Flash Installation Instructions:
Copy “HTC-Droid_v1.0.zip” or “StockJF6-JH7_Revert.zip” to the root of your internal sdcard
Rename to update.zip
Boot into recovery mode
Select "Reinstall Packages"
Wait for your phone to reboot and Enjoy
MetaMorph Installation Instructions:
Make sure you are using the latest version of MetaMorph (1.9.13 or higher).

Trying this now.
Works, and looks good.
Two problems I spotted...
1) Text in the notifications pulldown is black, not white like in the screenshot, so it's really hard to read.
2) The HTC icons are not showing up in the settings menu.
Thanks for checking it out...
On 1) Bummer... Not sure what to do about that though. The changes are to graphics only. The apk's don't mess with the font. Has your always been black? Mine has always been white.
On 2) I'll double check the apk and make sure I didn't screw something up. Although I swear I checked it.
Thanks Again

Two requests. Can we get a metamorph? I'd help you if I knew how, but sadly I do not. A lot of us use cognition, and it doesn't like update.zip themes.
2, can we get some jpgs? Trying to watch that gif is hard! Lol.
Otherwise, I think it's worth a try. Would have liked a semi transparent notification drawer as well though. Minimalistic got me hooked on that.

I believe I can work up metamorphs. I used to do them, but I think they are a bit of a pain. I understand a cognition deal though. It might be better if I come up with a zip that'll work with clockwork? I'll attempt both.
You got it I'll upload the jpgs. I'd hate to hurt your eyes... LOL

I've just check it.. it seems to be working at the moment. Megaupload does that once in a while. Usually if you give it a couple minutes it'll be back. Let me know if you are still having issues. I've added the metamorphs to the post, but the flash versions are too large.

EDIT: I'm having issues adding attachments for some reason... I'll need to try later. Hopefully its an "XDA system" thing.

Hey I downloaded this morph and it looked pretty sick but then I decided to flash it back to stock. When i did that though, all my settings icons disappeared. Do you know how to get them back?

I need the build number from the kitchen so I can look at the log.
Edit tested all of the above and its working fine. Was there an assert error?
Starting with 4.1.2, Samsung has included a floating cascade icon for apps which are MultiWindow capable, but do not use the standard Android menu bar. This icon automatically overlays the app in the lower right hand corner when in full-screen mode. An example of this is SolidExplorer. The developers added MultiWindow compatibility, but the icon gets overlayed in the lower right corner, as seen here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On certain apps this overlay can get in the way of other buttons or text, and can be annoying. This mod will allow you to change the icon on ANY 4.1.2 based ROM, for N8000, N8010, and N8013. It will NOT remove any features of your ROM.
Here's an example of SolidExplorer with one of my modified icons:
Of course, the floating icon will change for all apps that already have the floating icon. This will NOT add MultiWindow capability to any apps that don't already have it.
There are currently 9 icons to choose from, and I will make more as people request them.
REQUIREMENTS: Root is NOT required, but a custom recovery IS required.
INSTRUCTIONS/DOWNLOADS: Go here for the instructions and download links: http://jammasterclay.webs.com/
NOTE: In order to keep everything working properly, you will need to go through Step 2 every time you flash a ROM update. This ensures that no custom features of your ROM will break.
THANKS:
bjbinc: his mod made me think of the idea for a universal solution. Check out his apps here.
VillainROM and Partners: Their script is what allows this to work on any ROM and allowed me to cut the steps down from 6 to 2. Check out the VRTheme thread here.
I am not responsible for any damage incurred by your device. Be a responsible flasher!
This is great news and good work looking forward to trying this out.
Amazing news. That will be a great solution for everybody! Look forward to trying this out ASAP.
Instructions and download links are here: http://jammasterclay.webs.com/ and added to the OP.

The ability to drag the icon is unique to Omega ROM. It isn't something I will add to this mod because it involves changing system framework files. Because each ROM has their own special features and additions then if I made a flashable zip to allow the button to be moveable you would most likely loose some other functionality in your ROM. My main focus of this mod is to make it work on any 4.1.2 ROM without breaking anything.
If you want the moveable icon I would recommend you try Omega ROM. Its what I use personally and it's been very reliable. They also have a great dev team that's very responsive.
PS: in Omega you just press the icon and drag it, there's no option to enable.

Great job!!!!!!!
Thank you very much .
But the "update.zip" some one built cannot work correctly on other devices . You have to do it step by step .

That is correct, that's what allows it to work with any ROM. Theoretically if two people have the same ROM and device it world work, but even on the same ROM if people choose different insulation options it would mess stuff up. Better to just make a new update ZIP every time you flash a ROM. Once you get the process down it only takes a few seconds.
XDA members @dzul89 and @mishteuse brought it to my attention that updating edify for ZipThemer no longer worked with the SuperSU zip. This was caused by a change in the instillation scripts for newer versions of SuperSU. Rather than finding another way to make ZipThemer work, I decided it would be a good time to switch to a new method altogether. As a result, the new procedure uses VRTheme zips and is now only 2 steps!
Let me know if you have any problems.
great mod!
The website http://jammasterclay.webs.com/ is defunct.
Is there any way of getting ahold of this?
EDIT: Thanks! It's up again!

This is a theme I made for myself but I thought I might as well share it. It's a Material Design theme that's based kind of on the Settings menu style. If you want to try it I hope you enjoy it. It's made for the Nexus 6's screen resolution so it doesn't look all stretched out. Also it's not 100% touched up but I don't think you'll notice anything major. Anyway enjoy.
Install:
Rename the .zip to ui.zip
Create a folder in your TWRP path. Ex: /sdcard/TWRP/theme/
Move ui.zip into that folder. Then enjoy.
You have to run TWRP at least once before installing.

Install the newest TWRP. Rename the zip to ui.zip and move it into TWRP/theme/ it works for everyone else so you must be doing something wrong.

No problem. I actually started making it before the N6 came out but just got around to finishing it. Glad you like it.

Done exactly as described with both versions, no dice. Its not appearing in the theme selections or changing automatically, even after a reboot or a reinstall of the TWRP apk... ( I had to create the "theme" folder inside the TWRP folder myself.) Is it something to do with file permissions or is there another TWRP folder that isnt in 'sdcard'?

Try this. Put the theme ui.zip in TWRP/theme/ and yes you have to create it first so that was right. Now with your phone booted up try deleting TWRP/.twrps it's the preference file so you won't lose anything important. Also, I'm sorry I have to ask this, you're not unzipping the file you downloaded right? Sorry but I'm trying to cover all bases.

Tried deleting .twrps, tried clearing data & cache for the TWRP app, still not a appearing as an option in themes or autoselecting...
Ahh... Its theming RECOVERY, not the Twrp app. Looks very nice!

It never occured to me you could theme the recovery ui from a folder on the sdcard, or would want to in preference to theming the app. Plus the op doesnt mention it
Nice work. Used the dark theme with no issues

Is there a theme folder inside the term folder inside your SD card?
