[Q] CM11 Theming Help

I'm still rocking KitKat 4.4.4 on my Moto X 1Gen because I prefer my Xposed modules over Lollipop. That being said, thanks to a combination of CM11 themes and some Xposed modules, I've given my phone a personalized near-Lollipop look. There are, however, a couple of things I need help with, if anyone is willing.
I'm using a theme called L Style White, which was included in a 2-in-1 theme apk called KitKat White, which has since been removed from the Play Store for having "KitKat" in its name. Since it's no longer available, I've cracked it open several times and made some adjustments and changes, for my own personal use. I have no intentions of sharing/uploading a mod of someone else's initial work on the Play Store. I just made it for myself. I've added a lot of Lollipop elements from other CM11 themes that I liked. But there are two things I can't figure out how to theme on my own, and I was hoping someone more skillful with creating themes would be willing to help me out.
The first thing is the Google "Ears" sound search widget. I'd like to theme it to have a white background and dark text (so it will be visible on the white background). This one seems simple enough, but I can't seem to work it out on my own. Hopefully someone here can.
The second thing is the Reboot dialog, or really any dialog, I guess. I want to remove the white line under the title. This seems to exist on pretty much all dialogs that use the native framework, not JUST the advanced reboot menu. As you can see, it's already themed somewhat in the LiquidSmooth 4.4.4 ROM I'm using. I'd just like to make it more Lollipop style by removing that line. (On holo-light dialog popups, it's a dark line instead). I'm fine with the colors and everything on this; just want to make it more Lollipop style in its overall look. I've included a screenshot of an app that uses the style I'm wanting. Again, I don't care about changing the colors, just the layout of the title and stuff.
So there. Sorry that was so long. Hopefully someone took the time to read it anyway. If I need to, I can share the apk of the theme I'm using, but I'd rather do so privately, since it wasn't my work to begin with. I really just need whatever files/resources/xmls I can drop into the appropriate folder in the 'Overlays' section of the theme apk. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and would also help me learn more by example.

Better theming options ?

Just decided to move from nougat to Oreo and now I am getting nasty white notifications.
I come from custom ROMs so I had the options to change the colour of everything but with crappy stock I have no real control over what my phone looks like which sucks
Has anyone found a way to colour the white notifications to some darker colours?

Look up theme galaxy in playstore make sure to thank the dev.....its the best theming engine I've seen no root lol

Try digging around in the following thread. I haven't kept up with it but I have seen for Oreo what you are looking for.

[THEME] Best Dark theme for EMUI 9

for all want black themes for emui9 i found one working good and themes all items
just install themes manager for huawei from playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deishelon.lab.huaweithememanager
and search for samsung one ui dark download it and apply it from the theme manager
it works very well

Unfortunatelly not. Try to get to any settings that requires second level user interaction (e.g. the fast mode choice when you connect the USB cable, or the choice whether the wallpaper applies to homescreen or lockscreen or both, and many others). You see the white text on white background in many cases. Quite anoying for regular usage in many situation.
Already reported in other similar topic as this yours.

Is there any way to make those changes in HV10. Every theme that I have tried has the same white on white pop up. Couldn't find code to edit it.. If any one knows how or where to find that option to make change please advise.

I found BLACK EMUI theme here:
https://theme.page.link/GAcELqio2oPMVZMT8
It looks very good for now. All is visible, no white text on white background. The only thing I didn't like is the font style, but you can change it manually.

After the 178 update, all the dark themes are working fine with white text on black background. Honor solved it.

I use Huawei Themes from google store, it's free. Thru it you can dl Porshe Style Dark theme which is compatible with Emui9 and it works perfectly for me.

Dear Ahmad
Thank you so much for your efforts.
I am Iranian and happy to see you from Syria.
I have installed your theme on Galaxy C5 and I saw following problems:
1-When I turn on data, there is no up and down arrow indicators beside 4G on top of screen. there is no difference at all.
2-I prefer to see icon of known apps like telegram and whatsapp as they are.
I also recommend you to publish this theme on Samsung theme store (possibly they refuse to promote new phones)
or at least publish it on google play as a whole launcher. It will be very successful. no doubt!
Thans again

The next update features :
1 One Ui live clock and calendar.
2 One Ui colors for every system app.
3 Shadows on the labels.
The only icons that will be changed is the system icons
And the keyboard colors too.
Hopefully it will be finished next week so we can finish the tests.

1 I mentioned in the first post that this pop will come up because when u install the theme u apply the trail version so every time the trail time finish, it says "themes is stopped" i hope i will find a patch for this problem
But the next version of the theme is official so when u apply trail it will stop after 10 minutes so if anyone has a patch for nougat or oreo give me the link plz
2 i'm sure it will be fixed in the next version but the only problem i have is the theme trail time it need to patched so it works

Deleted Too Sorry
Like button plz.
:good:This is a very big update so if u really like plz like button and donation.

Very nice work keep up
The v3 is much better work from the older versions
But the shadows of the icons are not too good.
And can u make the quick setting look exactly like one ui
That would be very nice.

Guys the next version will be the last release and it will be paid.
But it will be the best one ui theme i hope
It will have :
Strong modifications to the accent and the colors.
New font for numbers.
It will be on a zip form and it will have an one ui system apps for nougat and oreo and the way of installing them.
Very impressive (i hope) color for the clock in the lockscreen and amazing look.
It will not be too expensive
Only with 1.99$.
And for sure it will be tested on many devices so we can insure that there is no issue but if there was :
Send it so i can fix it and i will post a free version.
but if it was a personal idea i cant do anything for u(no offense) but may be it would a good idea so i will post it.
Im sorry about that because im very busy with studies and work but we're not gonna stop making themes and we will learn more i hope.
We will start making new one ui themes for lollipop and marshmallow. And thanks for support everyone
And dont forget to donate.

Theming Tips for OneUI 3.1 / Android 11

Hey all,
here you have a summary of all available theming options to theme your OneUI 3.1 on Android 11.
Please note that this post features some paid apps! I do not intend to advertise these, it is just the lack of good free options at the moment. I did not put links here intentionally.
The following options allow for good theming support of your OneUI 3:​
Hex Installer - Themes for OneUI (Early Access)
Most convenient option, very user friendly
Highly customizable (not only colors but also UI elements / tweaks)
Supports different "UI Mode" plugins, like the "AOSP R" plugin that allows for AOSP-like theming
Icon Theming for the OneUI launcher supported, as well as custom fonts
Pretty much all OS apps supported, also lots of third-party apps
Works by compiling and applying themes for the Samsung Themes engine
Can be used in combination with Substratum, more below
Some features are paid (the prices are fair)
Substratum / Substratum Light with Android R supporting themes
I could only make out 5 themes that support Android 11 / OneUI 3.1 at the time I am writing this:
Flux (free)
Flux White
Liv Dark (that's what I'm using)
Liv White
Aurora
These themes support a good range of apps and provide many customization options
Works great in combination with Hex Installer, more below
Substratum needs root!
Synergy
Now supports OneUI 3.1 as well
You can combine themes from different sources (like Substratum)
You cannot combine Synergy with Hex Installer
Personally I found Hex Installer to be more user friendly and allowing for more customization
Yet this is the way to go if you want to use a Substratum theme that does not natively Support OneUI 3
Paid app
SwiftBlack Installer
Now supports OneUI 3.1 as well
Most convenient theming experience
Easy updating of overlays
Customizable colors
But less themed apps as the other options as of now
Good Lock by Samsung (and its modules)
This app is quite known but totally underestimated in terms of its quality and feature set
Good Lock is a free customization toolbox by Samsung for OneUI, consisting of multiple apps/modules that can be separately installed from the Samsung Store
The modules allow for many different customizations in terms of lockscreen, homescreen, navbar, statusbar, clock face, and lots of more (visual aspects, UI tweaks, additional OS tuning and features)
Really recommend to get it and take a look at all modules and features. You'll like it!
Want to use Option 1 & 2 together? Let me share some tips on that specific matter:​
First go to substratum and open your desired theme (see above). Do not yet compile any overlays. Just go to the overlay "Android System" and look up the color options it has. Choose an accent and a background color and note their color codes. Again: Do not yet compile the overlays. In case you decided to use Liv White / Liv Dark, I recommend choosing a solid color as accent (not gradient).
Now open your Hex Installer app and adjust the color scheme, taking into consideration which colors you chose to use for the Substratum theme (eg: Use the same accents / background colors)
Compile and fully install your Hex theme
Open Substratum again and compile all wanted overlays. You can compile overlays for apps that are already themed by Hex Installer. Remember to use the colors that you chose earlier.
Reboot and profit from a fully themed system!
Other tips:​
For edge lighting experiences, I really recommend "Borderlight" if you only want edge lighting on home/lockscreen.
If you are looking for a system wide edge lighting experience, I recommend the app "Always On Edge". Heavier on your battery but provides extensive options.
Please note that not all third-party overlays are working perfectly.
If you want to use the same theme as shown in the attached screenshots, I have also attached my Hex profile and Substratum profile for you to use.
Hit thanks if any of this information was helpful!
Any questions? Leave a reply and I will try my best to help out.
Best regads,
lartsch

Thanks for sharing

You're welcome. I do not know of any proper TG groups for the S21 or at least I am not a member in any. For custom roms to appear you will need to wait for quite some more time I think. In terms of themes, I don't know any other than the 5 in my OP. Have a great day!

Yeayy. Right now synergy has been supporting Oneui 3.1.... Nice

Is Synergy working as before with no root?
EDIT: never mind, have to do ADB after each restart

Synergy soft bricked my phone. The settings app, and samsung theme app would crash and force the phone to reboot in Safemode SystemUI. I tried fixing the apps via recovery mode, nothing. Just a warning.

Hey all,
after having the experience that theming support on Android 11, especially OneUI 3, is quite weak as of now, I thought I'd share a few tips for people who are looking for something more than the Samsung Themes store can offer.
I can't live without proper, system-wide black theming and I bet some of you feel the same.
Please note that this post features some paid apps! I do not intend to advertise these, it is just the lack of good free options at the moment. I did not put links here intentionally.
// Screenshots at the bottom
// Update 1: Added Aurora theme to the list, which now supports Android R / OneUI 3
// Update 2: Synergy now supports OneUI3
The following options allow for good theming support of your OneUI 3:​
Hex Installer - Themes for OneUI (Early Access)
Probably the most convenient way as of now. Allows for a decent theming experience, especially in combination with option 2.
Supports different "UI Mode" plugins, like the "AOSP R" plugin that allows for AOSP-like theming.
Fully customizable color scheme as well as other UI options (depending on the "UI Mode" plugin you use)
Icon Theming for the OneUI launcher supported, as well as custom fonts
Pretty much all OS apps supported, also quite some third-parties
Basically works by compiling themes for the Samsung Themes engine which are then applied from there
Some features are paid (the prices are fair)

I thought Substratum development got dead.
Also, what's so good about Swift Installer? Not available for my S21U.
And Hex Installer? It costs money but never tried it.
I use Nova Launcher. Far from perfect IMHO, but a lot better than stock Android. I like most icons in less space, I'm also an extreme Dark themes fanatic, I would prefer extreme high contrast with black and green where possible. I hate dark gray color, honestly.

Nice to know. I'll get it next month then.
Can I have an extreme AMOLED-theme experience? Minimalism, black as much as possible, use green for letters and other GUI stuff as much as possible too with coherent exceptions.
Kinda like a very modern reincarnation of a UNIX green phosphorus terminal.
A bit similar to 2008 Gmail Terminal theme when used in a desktop web browser, but A LOT better and hires.
Maybe I'm weird, but this gives me a lot less eye fatigue and able to use devices in a lot more comfortable way.

no you'll have to make it.

I think that I did something wrong because chosen theme is active only for 10 minutes. What I did:
1. Downloaded Shizuku, did everything is it is on the provided Hex Installer screens;
2. Downloaded Hex theme from PlayStore, applied: first applied the default theme, than opened Hexed+ theme and clicked on "Try it out". Notification pops out with info that theme is applied succesfully;
3. Opened Hex app, clicked on this robot pill:
- Hex ADB setup is ticked green;
- Hexed+ theme applied is ticked green;
- Custom theme state is ticked red. How to make it green?;
- Hex theme Mode is active;
- Add My Themes Shortcut is active, but nothing happens when I try to open #MyThemes app
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G without root.
Any ideas how to solve this and have a theme for more than 10 minutes?

I believe ur supposed to select the high contrast theme in order to make it stick. I had to do it about 5 times to make it ACTUALLY stick. but I've since updated my phone and kept the theme, and can also remove it. It by no means works everytime, but I have had by far the highest success rate with hex.
