Description

### 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.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

4 ★Only problem is that the notification counts in the notification bar are gone with this theme, I think it's probably due to a font issue, the circle is there but no number. I'm using CM 11 M9 on Galaxy S4.
3 ★having some menus overlap making unreadable texts and the white on white text issue..but over all great!..gonna rate 5* after the issues are fixed
5 ★Works great on my Nexus 7, no major glitches, only complaint was not having a transparent keyboard but bahh that doesn't matter this runs smooth and looks incredible! Great job!!
3 ★The theme is installed on my device, but I am unable to find it in "themes" option found in settings. Please help.
4 ★until the latest update. Now the color text in my dialer is white and I can barely see what it writes... Please, fix it and I will rate a 5-star. Running on S3, cm11
5 ★Sometimes transparent backgroud mix text with window under one used...it makes mess...Using it on CM10.1
1 ★But when I downloaded it..it came out nothing..it's just like,this app doesn't exist -.-
5 ★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.
4 ★It looks awesome, in the product description but can you make it compatible with 4.0 so I can use it?
5 ★Worked perfectly! Only thing that'd make it better would be a themed app store and Gmail. Seriously great work. I love you.
5 ★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?
4 ★Its very cool, though my dialpad isn't like the one in the screenshot. Also my keyboard? Anyways thank you so much! How can I change my dial pad to be themed like the one in the screen shot? Thanks!
