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 ChooserOnce 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.

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.

Some glitches in advanced settings where normal settings are visible below, making readability difficult. I noticed in some affected apps the transparent theme causes ads to disappear.... For a while. Would also be nice if theme would apply to notifications drawer, calculator, calendar, Google play and other native Google apps. Nexus 4. Cyanogenmod 11, M9. Kitkat4.4.4

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.

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 must say if you download this app, please believe me when I say the app creator is beyond helpful! She replied to my email literally within 30 minutes! Guaranteed, if you download this app & experience any problems don't leave a bad review! Send an email as explained & seriously you will be helped!

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.

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.

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.

Soh. M. Jul 17, 2017     

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.

Day. G. Dec 19, 2014     

Notification bar pulldown problem sorted...Discovered another problem, com.process.android.phone has stopped responding when making or receiving calls. Changing theme rectified problem, until changing back again. Using miniCM9 could that be the cause.::

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

Nad. H. Nov 19, 2014     

Awesome theme I like it, but status bar and navigation bars are not transparent. I also used Klearkat theme which makes status bar and navigation bars transparent, but it is of 43mb.

Jep. Mar 15, 2016     

There is no open option the only appearing is uninstall this app please fix this.

Hea. M. Dec 17, 2014     

For my Samsung Galaxy s3 I would say this theme works 95%. The only downfall is that the wallpaper that comes with this does not seem to work. I used a different wallpaper and it seems to work without a hitch.

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.

kai. r. Sep 9, 2014     

I love the transparency what ever is the app. Only flaw I have seen is sometimes fonts in people app is not visible based on wallpaper I am using unless 5/5

Tim. H. Dec 7, 2014     

also have CM11 kitkat 4.4.4 nightly from the 6th of December and no issues noticed that were mentioned

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.

Sau. K. Feb 8, 2015     

The theme is installed on my device, but I am unable to find it in "themes" option found in settings. Please help.

Did not change a damned thing on my phone. Waste of my time.

Sat. T. Sep 24, 2014     

I am unable to see this app on my phone.though while checking the same in app setting it's showing it is installed.I am asus zenfone 5 ,Android 4.3 user.

Cal. M. Aug 30, 2015     

I normally have to be very careful about what apps I download because I don't want somebody on the dark web looking through my phone's camera. But this app does not ask for any permissions. Thanks for being awesome.

Absolutely the best theme on the market. Running CM 11 on GS4 and it looks amazing! Been waiting for a true transparent theme to come out. Dev did a really good job.

don. h. May 10, 2015     

This is beautiful theme ever. But notification unread count email is nothing (because font color is white).

Sha. Jun 25, 2015     

Using it with carbon rom 4.4.4 The only app on play store worth rating...love it n waiting for updates

Bar. G. Jul 25, 2014     

The only true transparent theme in the market. Everything is great. Only dialpad is partially transparent. Communicated with dev in this issue, he informs this is due to kitkat 4.4.4 issue but doesn't matter to me. :D

Dil. D. Jan 15, 2015     

need to be updated for the new google search update, which makes transparent item white (ie. search bar, app button & tray)
