About HoloGlass Theme [Beta]

### IMPORTANT! ###
YOU NEED A CUSTOM ROM.
THIS IS NOT A LAUNCHER THEME.
Lollipop (CM12) is NOT supported.
----------------------------------

KitKat users MUST BE ON 4.4.3, or your contacts and dialer will probably crash.

HoloGlass - Google's UI, Elevated...
This "Theme Chooser" theme turns your apps transparent, letting your background shine through!

If you really like HoloGlass, there is a donate version available as well :D

If have issues installing, see bugs or notice anything weird, EMAIL me with a screenshot, so I can troubleshoot. It works better than submitting a bad review. (Or go to the XDA link below) This theme is still a work in progress (Beta), and many things are still a little funny.

It is designed to work on XHDPI for now. I will gradually add support for HDPI and Tablet devices, but I am focusing on the one resolution at the moment.
================

This theme has been tested with official versions of CM10.1, AOKP, and PA, but should work with similar roms.

INSTALLATION:
- Make sure you're on a custom ROM with Theme Chooser
Once you've downloaded/installed the theme:
- Apply system theme and reboot
- Apply "HoloGlass"
- Reboot and enjoy!

NOTE:
If you receive an error that the Theme was incorrectly compiled, revert to the system theme, reboot, and apply HoloGlass again. It will work, I promise! If you still have problems, email me for help, it is likely a DPI issue.

You can follow the development thread @ XDA Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179705

### PLEASE READ: ###
- DO NOT MOVE TO SDCARD (or else it will revert on stock after each reboot)
- Reboot after applying the theme is REQUIRED
- For the statusbar and navbar transparencies, your Rom needs to support it, like ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, or some custom versions of CM10.1 (The official branch does not include this transparency support)
==========================================

WHAT YOU GET:
- Phone & Contacts
- Settings
- Modified Clock style to get rid of the fat hours
- Any app that uses the default Holo theme
- Translucent statusbar icons (best on transparent status bar)
- Glass-ey notification tray and QS toggles
- Nova (changes the "shadow" to the same transparency setting as the Holo theme)
- Plenty of stuff that might look weird / inconsistent because it is a beta

COMING SOON:
- Holo.Light theme
- Themed apps
- and more!
- Colored versions!
Bonus Note: Nova launcher users who also have a ROM with launcher navbar transparancy settings:
You can set the launcher to the same transparency as the system apps:
In Nova Settings -> Desktop, check the Show Shadow box.
The transparency value is #50000000 or 31%, depending on your ROM.

Hey i wanted to ask whether this will work with substratum since i currently have lineageOS 14.1 and there is no theme engine yet. Also just in case, do you think this will work with lineageOS or is it just better to flash another Rom cause i really love this theme.

Nice theme, one of the best for free. But i have one problem with this theme, which is when i want to save number to contact, there is option to save to gmail or phone, but it is still white font in white background, so please fix this bug, please.. Anyway nice theme! (i'm using xiaomi redmi 1s with CM11 R23 rom). I'll give 5 stars if you fix this. Thanks dev :)

I love the transparency it makes every app on my tablet look awesome. The developer is also very helpful and responsive. I had an issue where parts of some apps were very difficult to read because of text overlapping and I received a response within the hour and the next update fixed the problem for the apps I mentioned in my email.

Misleading you should put in the title of the first part of your app that you need a custom rom for the transparent theme. The avg user downloaded Holo so they could get themes without rooting and without roms as a matter of fact I downloaded this from a Facebook advertisement where the transparent theme was the one pictured. I am willing to bet so did most other people. I'm going to search for an app that is not as disingenuous. Free or not we deal with enough dishonest people in the world.

This is by far the slickest theme I have come across. I am not getting the transparent Google voice like in the screenshot though. Once the theme works in apps it will be amazing!

So cool .. But only one problem when I open "messaging" then open a message the font color is black so it hard to read message with the default mountain wallpaper in background. It should also be white as in "contacts". Please do this.

Even though this is a beta version of hologlass it gives android a new clean look. It allows for you to change the look of most of your system apps just by changing the wallpaper. It also changes the notification window to make it look transparent but with a dark fade

I absolutely love love this app such a unique idea and it is a great job no problems with the app so far. but one suggestion I'm sure will be able to benefit everyone running newer versions of Android. Can u adjust the Google Hangouts app angout background and make it invisible similar to other apps adjusted such as messenger.

Live wallpapers respond to your touch as you interact with your device! However, my translucent status bar becomes opaque. Is there any way to overcome this?

Awesome theme works like charm with my oneplus one but in stock messaging app it seems to lag.

N70%
by N####:

Smooth! Hands down the best theme I have ever tried. Please don't bash up the app if your phone is not supported. I'm running this on a not so high end Samsung Galaxy S Advance! My only grouse is that threads in SMS are displayed with the same background making it difficult to immediately distinguish the sender and recipient. It helps when the wallpaper is of a light colour, anything on the darker side makes it difficult. Would be good if they were at least shown with different grayscales. The developer seems to be very responsive and cooperative in developing the app. Great work, you've won yourself a fan. Also, when getting in sub-windows of certain apps, the transparency proves counterproductive, with the app being so transparent that contents of parent or previous windows in the background get shown with the content in current window - app case in point - SMS Backup+ by Jan Merkel. Developer please fix this. This is problem with all apps having sub-windows.

Best transparent theme for CM11. The only improvement I would like to see is a bit of polish on the quick settings. Looking forward to a CM12 version.

Ok I feel like a noob but... I installed and now can't find it anywhere. Not under settings > themes, not under app drawer. It shows in settings > apps. Google Play Store says it's installed. This never happened with any other themes. What gives? Is it not compatible with CM12 yet?

J70%
by J####:

I really like this theme has a nice boot logo and it may be just me thinking it does but my keyboard seems slightly bigger and better. Nice messaging and recents and quick toggles looks cool. Only thing that doesn't quiet work is if I get ten emails in the status bar it is a blank bubble not the number ten. be good if this can be fixed? But I can live with it if not.
