The End so short...

[Prototik]

Hey guys.
It's very sad, but as you can seen HoloEverywhere is reached for the end. End of development, end of using. This project was started with one small target - bring holo look & feel to old devices. For these years of development I can say that we reached this target. And... No more active users with Android 2.x is exists, total rate for old phones too small.
So... This project in EOL stage now, thanks everyone for supporting me, thanks for 2k stars, special thanks to @ChristopheVersieux, @BraisGabin! You're the best!

Aaarrgh. It would be nice for a few loose ends to be sorted out.
But any way:
THANK YOU ALL FOR A GREAT JOB ! ! !

Эх, спасибо за работу 👍
Хотя насчет старых телефонов спорно все-таки. Например у меня в одном приложении более 10% пользователей с 2.х. Придется все-таки их отбросить :(

[ChristopheVersieux]

Thank a lot to all of you.
This was a great adventure, my first in the open source, and it was great
to see people talking and using this project.

Sergey, thank a lot for taking the project and making it alive when I was
going to drop it!

Cheers!

Thanks for this great piece of work. It really helped me and a lot of other people out there.

[BraisGabin]

Assist in this library has been a pleasure. @Prototik, thanks for trust me. I learned a lot of stuff reading your code. Great work!

Thanks to everyone involved in this project. Thanks to @ChristopheVersieux for starting it, to @Prototik for maintaining it and for everyone that submitted pull requests with bug fixes.
Using HoloEverywhere in the AndroidPIT app resulted, IMHO, in a much better experience for the user, even with all the headaches that it sometimes gave me.
Android 2.2 is dead, 2.3 is also going to the grave soon and hopefully developers won't need to use this library anymore. I'm glad I was able to convince the product team of "my" app to use this library and I'm hoping that I'll contribute to your development projects someday, just like you contributed to mine. Thanks again @ChristopheVersieux and @Prototik for all the effort. Maybe I'll meet you someday in person and buy you a drink. Merci beaucoup and Большое спасибо.

I'm a freelancer for 3 years. From the second project, I started using HoloEverywhere because it makes app more beautiful and conform to Android design guideline. Perhaps my clients often have low quality (= not beautiful) projects, so when get started working with me and receive beautiful apps, they're very happy.
Because Android 2.x is about to dead, HoloEverywhere is also about to end. But, @ChristopheVersieux and @Prototik, thank you so much for your effort.

thank you for your good job!!

Hey, thanks for for Your heavy work!
I have only one question - Do Yo plan to release the very last final version from master? It would be nice because it fixes some serious bugs (eg. Sony Xperia layout bug)

[Prototik]

@kkocel okay, will released into couple hours.

[Prototik]

@kkocel ... or not. Plugin seems to be incompatible with latest gradle/android plugin version.

[ChristopheVersieux]

Wonder what a MaterialEverywhere could do... :-p

[Prototik]

@ChristopheVersieux yep, one my friend already suggest me this idea :D

[BraisGabin]

I suppose that I was not the only one thinking about it.

[ChristopheVersieux]

I have already rewritten one of my app with the Material theme, and ported
it back to older version (mainly default ActionBar color, and some
typography)
I am convinced a pretty neat theme can be created.

But keep in mind, that like Holo, our theme should not be used "as is" (I
am totally bored with 100% Holo and pure card layout) and other developers
should bring their own branding.

I also don't think that trying to emulate elevation and motion is a great
idea, as the performance ill be poor.

As a conclusion, I strongly believe something can be done easily to bring a
basic but still "better than holo" working Material theme.

MaterialEverywhere?
MaterialCompat?
