About ThyrusHolo KIT KAT Black Theme

IMPORTANT:
With June 10th 2014 update to V7.0 I will have to declare end-of-life for Thyrusholo Kitkat Black theme. With major roms now moving to 4.4.3 I need to freeze this at 4.4.2 to ensure dialers work for people that continue to use older versions of these roms (4.4.2 or 4.4.1). Given that I am now using the new theme engine going forward, this theme for the old theme engine will be End of Life after this maintenance update.
The successor of this theme is DarkUI which is currently available on a discounted rate for upgrades and which is designed specifically for the new theme engine.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=release.thyrus.darkuinte

Use ONLY if you are using AOKP, CyanogenMod or a similar ROM that is current and has the theme chooser installed/enabled.
CM11 (or similar 4.4.2 kitkat AOSP roms with theme chooser) is the best option for the theme. It MAY work on CM10.2, but really is only guaranteed for CM11.

If you prefer a light themed version, feel free to use the light edition of my Kit Kat theme on the market with a holo.light dialer/messaging app.

It is based on my other popular themes on Google Play, so I would recommend you check these out before you purchase this special edition.

If you use the quick response in MMS.apk, make sure you enable "dark theme" in the MMS/SMS settings.
This is tested and will work on CM10 and AOKP ROMs. Custom ROMs that deviate from these such as Paranoid Android may introduce issues as these ROMs deviate strongly and some features may not support themes.

Notes:
- Works best on CM11
- In order to allow no background for statusbar and navbar, please use a custom rom that supports that (such as AOKP), I cannot theme this via theme chooser unfortunately.
- CM11 Dialer only themed when using CM11 based ROMs as of January 29th 2014 (incudes the relevant changes to make dialer themable)

Installation:
Apply theme, then reboot. Reboot is also required after a theme update is installed.
Getting"improperly compiled" error?. Set to system theme, reboot, then apply.
Missing assets/screen size? Apply anyway

- Added custom white statusbar icons (for those that use a themed ROM but do not like the customizations)
- Kitkat inspired dialer
- Added a semi-transparent widget background for most system widgets
- No dividers in settings and other sub- and pop-up menus
- Themed pop-up and settings menus
- Black background for dialer and contact/people app
- Themed MMS and people app (fully themed)
- Themed Google Now
- Themed Play Store
- Themed Play Music
- Themed Browser
- Themed Gmail
- Themed Google Translate
- Themed Google Drive

I've paid for this very cool skin when I was using 4.4. Now using Lollipop and it became a money waste. For sure I will not pay again for any skin. At least icon packs don't die so fast. Don't complain you designers if we go through illegal free releases instead of giving you our money. Or at least fork your skins for different Android versions, but don't stop that way it's so frustrating for your paying users !

Doesnt get any better than this. Beautiful dark interface to replace the blindingly white stock kitkat interface. Creator puts a lot of time and effort into this theme and it shows, well worth the $.

I loved the themed dialer in the previous versions. The dialer is not themed. I don't know if it's a compatibility problem, or the dialer theme is just removed. Please, if you can, bring it back.

I love your themes. I had it on Jelly Bean and just had to have it when I updated to Kit Kat. Messaging app does have a few issues, such as the font is blacked out as well, meaning I can't read anything. Been using Hangouts in the meantime. It's ok, but I like everything to be blacked out. Running 4.4 Carbon Rom on my GS3

I love this theme, especially on an OLED screen. Unfortunately, the last few updates have caused force closes in Fusion Messenger, so I've had to stop using the theme temporarily, but I can't wait to go back to it. So beautiful!

Thanks for the quick updates with framework changes. I love that I don't have to flash the dialer anymore. I've never purchased a theme until yours and I'll never hesitate to donate to you again. Thanks again and great work.

Clean, attractive, and minimalistic. Makes for a beautiful GUI experience. Sometimes has coloring issues like white text on white bg, but usually fixed within a couple days. Great app, worth the very small amount of money it costs. Support this dev!

I love all your themes and have bought all of them. I'd love to see if you could black out Spotify. You would be the best theme maker ever if you could do that.

Love all thyrus themes only thing I want is hangouts to b themed dark if possible then I'd give 5* probably will anyway

by R####:

Having an update that says "end of life “ is annoying enough. But it is much worse when that same release breaks so many apps. Do not waste your money on this unless you enjoy typing in a white font against a white background.

best dark theme on 4.4.2!

Nice theme, looks great, however noticed a minor issue (white text on white background) in the menu for the Phone app (on CM11). Also the Google Play would look better on grey(dark or light) than on black - this is a personal opinion. Issue: I think another update for the latest version would be required for CM11 and 480x800 resolution: Contacts appearance appears to be broken, the uper tabs for groups, all contacts and stared are not available. Update: Many thanks for having the issue mentioned above fixed. The above mentioned issue didn't reproduce with other themes :)

This theme is just beautiful. The flat black on black really looks great and is easy on the eyes. I hope the dev keeps at it because there aren't a lot of themes as high quality as this one.

It reply is a great theme. I only wish there were a holo version with more blue highlights.

Hangouts is not themed at all, occasionally run into black text on black background in menu options. Not worth the $$$ at all. Would be a good free theme until it's perfect.

Any chance of an inverted Hangouts in next update

Trying to add a new number to contacts - it presents me with the list of contacts to choose from, but the "create new contact" bottom bar is missing. Probably broken with new CM stuff, had to disable the theme for the moment ;__;
