yes it is lol. I had a quick look & don't see anything image wise for the battery. but hey, atleast they added support for % in the stock icons
other stuff I found. most stuff is the same as 4.3. the dialer obviously had a huge overhaul. All the theming you did i the past to phone apk can be merged into dialer now. styles, drawables are all the same. I just copied my com_android_phone xml contents and pasted it into com_android_dialer.xml & it themed perfectly.I haven't messed with contacts yet, but it looks like quite a bit has changed in there too.

Where do I enable the battery %? Is that in a smali file as well?
Which ROMs have the theme chooser built in already?
I've been theming the old fashioned way so far.

Any actual themes?

I noticed that layers is really just coloring the UI. That said, are there any actual themes I can apply a la gs6?

Well, apps for a start, and keyboards. Have you used Layers? I don't think Layers can change the boot animation, but I could be wrong about that. In terms of ease of use, CM probably comes out on top, it's a lot more user-friendly. Where Layers really excels is the amount of choice you have; there can be multiple options for each element. Anyway, we're kinda hijacking this thread now, but can you explain to me exactly what it is that the cm theme engine can theme that Layers can't?

Yes used both plenty. Cm can theme the same apps in the same way layers does, but sure what you're referring to there? I will give you that you can piece apart themes easier in layers (at the expense of a user friendly experience). Cmte can change styles where layers cannot touch them. This allows for the larger element changes that you'll find in some cm themes and why many layers just seem to change colors. They both have their advantages but cm absolutely can touch more elements than layers.

Yes it can theme apps and keyboards and has always been able to do so. Styles is a folder inside an apk that controls various visual elements. Cmte can alter this, layers cannot.

Ah yeah that's true. It is very well implemented, I'll give it that much. The one thing stopping me from using it is the fact that you need to be on a CM (or CM based) ROM to use it. I just don't see the sense in that on this device when you can get all of the same features in ROMs based on the official firmware (read: stable), but without all of the bugs that come with CM. One thing I really miss from CM though is the System Profiles feature, that's awesome.

We have ROOT now, what do we need to use Layers (theme's)?

I had a Moto X Pure and was running a rooted version of the stock ROM..... I installed Layer's manager and the layer of my choice (Dark Stock) and it worked.
I tried this with my Axon 7, the Layers manager installed fine and ran, but I couldn't find any of my installed themes to apply? Is there a setting that needs changed in a ROM in order to be able to change the theme, or are we just not there yet?

First of all, Layers has been deprecated and Substratum has taken it's place. Although it does have legacy support for Layers still. And secondarily, (maybe a silly question, but I'm just going on the way you've worded your question) did you download the theme(s) you want to try from the play store? And then there's also a good chance, even though android now has (some) native support for RRO themeing, that some things like the ui and dialer etc will not themes as the commits are not there from ZTE.

I seen there was a new name with "Layer's" being secondary in some of the descriptions? A lot can change in a month, because I was using "Layer's" just last month on my Moto X Pure and had no idea it was going away.
Yes, I did download the theme I wanted from the PlayStore (Dark Stock).
I may try it again since I've done a few more things to it....And I realize that not everything is "theme-able", mainly looking for just a few things, like the notification cards in the pull down and my settings menu.
But the fact I was still using the Layers Manager was probably the issue. I just installed the Substratum manager and it worked, at least for the notification cards. The settings menu wasn't completely themed, so I un-theme'd it.

This is all I really wanted! My PlayStore is also themed, the rest is left alone.

The settings *DID theme, but they looked like cards with a white background and you could see around the edges and the gaps between "groups". It didn't look very good, so I un-themed the settings.
Phone didn't theme (didn't expect it to)
Contacts didn't theme (didn't expect it to)
Playstore did theme
Calculator did theme
I don't use Gmail, but I'm sure it would have
Nova did theme, but I've already got the search bar colored the way I want it, so I un-themed it too
I normally don't theme the calendar or Google Photos, because I've had issues with the apps after they update - so I leave them alone.
No, not familiar with TBO? Is that "Total Black Out" or "Team Black Out"? If so, I have seen those.....But I like the more dark gray, or dark gray-blue themes as opposed to total black.

That's great news. I'm thinking maybe with that, Nova Launcher and TBO theme able apps for Google I may just be able to live with the factory ui for a while until we can get something more aosp once I get mine. But this is nice to have more of an aosp flavor for now. BTW, have you tried installing Xposed for other personalized modification?

I normally don't do Xposed with a custom ROM, but Xposed is great at modding a stock ROM....So, yes I installed Xposed for just a couple small things (using GravityBox):
1) Round battery icon
2) Center clock
3) More music volume steps (30)
I also used emoji switcher and have "Emoji One" emoji's.

Oh man, this is pretty much all I need to get me by until some actual development starts up. That is if we ever get sources or AOSP type ports. Only thing I worry about with ports is full functionality of all the features this phone has and oft times battery life can take a hit due to lack of full optimization. Thank you.

From looking at the Substratum page, it seems like it has two modes -- one with root and one without. Is that accurate? It'd be nice to have themeability while still staying stock.

mono for substratum

I purchased the theme back on marshmallow because of the transparency/liquid theme. Now, that has long since been removed.
Does anyone know of any themes that would make a suitable replacement? I'm on a slightly older build of pure Nexus Android version is 7.1.1
I already have a navigation theme that I enjoy. The statusbar icons in mono are nice and simplistic.
Open to any and all recommendations though.
I'd prefer to stay away from paid themes, since this isn't the first time I've had a support issue.

Check out the theme called Compound by Daniel Schott. It's on my consideration list. It looks pretty good and has some nice grey. I really want a nice transparent one like liquid mono. I don't really like any solid color themes. I'm about to look at your recommendations now.

Best Dark Theme

Heya,
Just wondering, if you had to put a simple, but complete (full UI) dark theme on your Note 9... which one would it be (that you can find on the default samsung theme app).

I always use material dark or material black on my Samsung phones.

You can use substratum with andromeda

If you want a COMPLETE dark theme, you'll want to get Swift Black.

I like Britzer. It's a very dark cool gray with Pixel blue accents and is very lightweight. For icons I use Pixelize.

I had been using these on my s9+ but it started to get real wonky in the last few months, to the point where it wasn't worth it and I removed it completely.
Do you guys just turn off auto updates on those apps and then deal with the annoyance of having to confirm that those aren't auto updates every time your other apps update? It seemed like a lot of times, my "don't auto update" apps would somehow end up auto updating again at some point, and it would frequently break the main google app, google search bar, youtube, etc.
Still a lot better than the days you'd have to hook it back up to a PC to run andromeda, but a hassle none the less and having the main google app constantly break on me was a bad enough experience that I just went back to a dark samsung theme. Curious to see others' experience with it

I turned off auto updates in google play settings and will update apps together with "Swift for Samsung" theme so that the apps won't crash. The update cycle of the theme is frequent enough (atleast once a week). My expereince with the swift themes is really good as it themes many 3rd party apps unlike a samsung theme.

Where to download Britzer?

There is an adb command to change the navigation bar color. I'd do a search for it.
