Hi guys
I've decided to give layers a go but for the life of me I can't get it to work. When I apply my overlays I am promoted to reboot. After I reboot nothing... No theme, no overlays nothing.
Does this work on the stock ROM 6.01?
Are there specific themes that will work?
Am I doing this wrong?

I am using Milos UI, it looks great. When prompting for reboot inside layers manager app, don't reboot from there, just manually reboot. It worked for me..
I'm using layers on my moto G with Krexus ROM. Can someone confirm that layers is compatible with the stock 6.01 rom.
The link posted above had people talking about custom ROMs so I'm still in doubt

Yes its compatible but it is missing some commits and due to that some themes likes magpie, coalesce, etc won't be able to change colors.

Hey there!
Since there is no CM12.1 port available at the Moment, I've searched for a way to change the theme in my Moto X. So during my search, I stumbled across Layers, the build in theme engine of Lollipop. Unfortunately, when I try to Reboot the device after applying the theme, my phone stays at a blackscreen. Is there anyone who knows how to get it working on the Style?
Regards

CM do not support Layers.
I'm planning on bringing Slim support soon and will provide layers as well.
No ETA at the moment.

Layers doesn't work on stock android except for OEM's like Sony and ToughWize. Layers will work on stock Marshmallow though. To get boot normally boot to TWRP mount system then go to system/vendor/overlays folder and delete all the apks there.

Boot to twrp, mount system, open the file manager, navigate to /system/vendor/overlay, delete all of the contents of this folder, reboot.

Whoops, the guy above me had the same thing. RIF.
It would seem that the RRO layers themes do work on the Marshmallow stock ROM. After hearing about Marshmallow supporting it by default, i decided to see if it actually works on the Stock Marshmallow ROM. As far as I can tell, the only thing that doesn't work for me is the soft reboot after selecting the desired layer and applying it. :victory:
Update - If after uninstalling certain layers, the theme doesn't change back to normal, then using a file explorer, go to system/vendor/overlays and delete all the contents in the folder.
Will this work in moto g turbo too running marshmallow?
I read a post in x play page that using two themes same time results in bootloop

I do not know.. It should work.. But you might want to make a backup of your rom and data in recovery before applying a layers theme.

This has always been an issue with RRO, if you apply some things that overlap what they do. Not exclusive to Moto X or any device, in the right combination it will bootloop, but you should be able to boot into safe mode, or via the TWRP file manager, and remove the offending APK's from /system/vendor/overlay, and reboot and the phone will be happy again.
Of course you can always backup and restore a nandroid, but layers was designed so this shouldn't ever be necessary.
Make a tutorial mate.

I'm not new to the rooting community. I'm only new to RRO. I've tried it on my old phone and i ended up crashing everything on my phone.. (Not moto) it was an asus zenfone. Since then i haven't tried layers. Given the fact that mm is supporting rro layers natively has piqued my interest for it, so was inquisitive abt it. Thanks mate.

you need to install busy box binaries in "system/xbin" otherwise it won't work

I have busybox installed. I think the problem is that can't reboot correctly. When I reboot it seems it always does a softboot. The notifications remain, the recent apps too. Also some tweaks I made on gravity box (MM) that require reboot aren't applied.
By the way, sorry for my English, I'm Italian.

i also had the same problem because i installed busybox in "system/bin" but after installing busybox in "system/xbin" layers are working perfectly. I'm also using xposed & gravitybox.
It worked! Thank you! I didn't read correctly the first time (missed that "x"). The Gravity Box problem is still there (as expected) but i don't think this is the right place in the forums to talk about that. I hope to find a solution soon
Does anyone know if the stock ROM is compatible with the "Layer or Substratum" theme app from the Play store?
yup. Substratum works quite fine. However, I tried using transparent/dark themes and had issues with Settings because the font remained black. Maybe someone can help?

Sorry I don't have the phone anymore. But I remember I didn't get any bootloop. However the themes i tried (mostly dark themes) are not working properly because the font will remain dark.
I've just come from Dirty Unicorns and Pure Nexus on a 6P, and I've loved substratum for theming my phone. But... OOS would be legacy, I understand. Has anyone tried Subs on OP5, any recommendations? I've also seen a Magisk module for making legacy systemless. Anyone tried it? I don't feel like boot looping my new phone!
Also if I'm just rooted, can I install themes like swift black?
Don't use Substratum on OOS, rooted or not, I tried it and ended up having to restore the backup I'd made after it caused all sorts of complications, my advice? Wait for the custom roms to start appearing.

Thank you for saving me all sorts of trouble.
I tried "Navigate" to configure the navbar. Works without issues. But i wouldn't apply system wide themes. Like @djsubterrain said.
With root you can apply themes system wide that support OOS (I think only swift dark and black right now)
I did and it's working fine, full black apps and system.
If you're paranoid then you can just theme apps and use built in themer to make system black or white.
Does anyone tried ozone substratum?
im rooted and with sustratum working fine, im using swift black and inversion themes.

Yeah... I was always able to theme via substratum on all of my rooted devices, including oneplus 3 on stock.
The thing is, you generally, (lie 99% of the time) should not theme system ui or android system as that almost always results in a bootloop.
This is with the exclusion of themes specifically designed for oxygen os like k clock and swift dark

Yes, that will do, I'm running that too. There is an option to enable OxygenOS 4 compatibility right under the logo. That will make sure that you have a compatible (a.k.a. none) SystemUI overlay

I'm running it right now, but i'm using it just for centered clock and to change the "4G" to "LTE" in the status bar.
No issues on my side so far.

I use it for centered clock, QS Tiles 4 icons and Clear All (tasks) button on the left.
No problem so far.
I'm using Valerie as the main theme, and Big Blu to fill in things that Valerie doesn't do.
Also, Ozone for center clock and QS 5.
Fontio works with a .ttf file (or choose one of the provided fonts) if you use the flashable zip option - in the settings there's a place to create a restore zip, so do that first in case. Both files will be put on your internal memory in a Fontio folder.
edit: I forgot that the power menu doesn't work with this setup, so I made my own with Tasker/GMD.

Stock has the same substratum support as freedom Os... It's the legacy layers theming, so if you root stock, it will work the same way. Just install the substratum app from the store and try out. ?
fully working here, rooted with magisk and substratum is ok with theming everything, but yeah, like above, power menu doesn't work and if pressed it soft reboot phone... resolved installing material power menu

Hi guys
Need some help. I flashed Ironman and used it for a while. 100% perfect. The not the beta but release. After that i flashed Android 8 Oreo ASOP to test. I then decided to move back to Ironman rom.
But this is the issue. The rom installs fine etc. But then after setup the system UI crashes? I have tried a few different wipes etc etc but still does not want to work.
I flash Batman and the phone is fine? I am currently using batman but would like to use the Ironman rom?
