No Title Bar Android Theme

In my application I want to use the Theme.NoTitleBar, but on the other hand I also don't want to loose the internal Theme of the Android OS.. I searched on the net and Found the following answer.. I have modified my styles.xml and added the following line of code..

Inside values/styles.xml

<style name="Theme.Default" parent="@android:style/Theme"></style>
<style name="Theme.NoTitle" parent="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"></style>
<style name="Theme.FullScreen" parent="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"></style>

Inside values-v11/styles.xml

<style name="Theme.Default" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo"></style>
<style name="Theme.NoTitle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar"></style>
<style name="Theme.FullScreen" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen"></style>

Inside values-v14/styles.xml

<style name="Theme.Default" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"></style>
<style name="Theme.NoTitle" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar"></style>
<style name="Theme.FullScreen" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.Fullscreen"></style>

In the application tag of the Manifest file I have added an attribute of:

android:theme="@style/Theme.NoTitle"

But when I try to run the code The images in my application gets Blurry.. But when I use the following tag:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"

or

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"

or

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"

The images in the application comes in the correct form... But In this case I lose all the themes on the new Android OS..

Please help me how can I use NoTitleBar Theme without loosing the Images and the Native Theme..

if you want the original style of your Ui to remain and the title bar to be removed with no effect on that, you have to remove the title bar in your activity rather than the manifest. leave the original theme style that you had in the manifest and in each activity that you want no title bar use this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); in the oncreate() method before setcontentview() like this:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_signup);
    ...
}

To Hide the Action Bar add the below code in Values/Styles

<style name="CustomActivityThemeNoActionBar" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

Then in your AndroidManifest.xml file add the below code in the required activity

<activity
        android:name="com.newbelievers.android.NBMenu"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_nbmenu"
        android:theme="@style/CustomActivityThemeNoActionBar">
</activity>
