Theme chooser

Can I flash/install on stock rom ?
If so where do I download
Sent from my Nexus 4

No, theme chooser is not flashable. It's just part of a given ROM. There's something called "Xposed' which you can use to apply some themes. Run a search and you'll find it.

Layers Themes For Xperia 5.0+

Here is the method to install Layers Theme on your Xperia Smartphone :
Don't Blame Me If Anything Goes Wrong
I Have Tested It On My Phone And It Works Pretty Well
Under Any Circumstances Whatsoever I Am Not Responsible For Any Loss Of Data,
Dead SD cards , Thermonuclear War , etc.( most of the other developers say this )
Read All The Instructions Before Heading Ahead. Have Fun Theming
Prerequisite :
#Recovery Installed
#Rooted Xperia
#Running 5.0+
#Latest Version Of BusyBox Installed
#A Nandroid Backup (Just For Precaution)
Flash this file and install busybox if you don't want to go through these steps : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Ko5aGRXGsEa3ZyMTl5U3J0QXc/view?usp=docslist_api
1) Goto Playstore and install Layers Manager App
2) Goto Playstore and search for layers theme and choose any theme you like
3)Open Layers Manager App and give #Root permission
4)Goto Settings and check on unnecessary overlays(optional)
5)Goto main home of app and choose the theme
6)Apply your favorite overlays and Reboot
NOTE:
1} Before applying any new overlays first uninstall the previous ones
2}You have to be on stock Xperia lollipop themes for navbar buttons to change according to Layers theme since the Xperia theme engine also uses the same technology of RR Overlay which layers use.Hence if you will apply any other Xperia theme other than stock, it will create another overlay upon it and you won't be able to see the nav bar buttons from LAYERS THEME
3} It doesnt have full support for xperia apps . hence some of the elements will have buggy appearance
4} For Best Experience install GOOGLE APPS coz its what the layers themes have been made for
6} FC's or bootloops occuring after applying overlays may be due to bad overlays.So always take a nandroid backup before messing up with your phone
7} FC's occuring after uninstalling overlays can be easily solved by a reboot
8} For those who are stuck after pressing reboot , Please remove your battery and reinsert it (if its removable) or Press the force reset or shutdown button. (Generally Xperia phones have them on the back of their phones under the panel) On boot up first uninstall That bad layers framework or system Ui Overlay . If you want then you can remove them form recovery only
9} For bad overlays here is the fix :
Go to recovery (twrp) and navigate to mount and check on System and Then open file manager. Navigate to system /vendor /overlay and delete the apk and Reboot
10} Mostly the bootloops are caused by bad or incompatible framework overlays ... So use with care Install Layers Showcase for more themes and to find that it supports your device or not

Yupp, tried the Art theme. Doesn't work.

In short, nothing visible.

Commute UI works if you also add the overlay that removes titles. This overlay turned to work quite well. Beware though, don't install framework or system ui apks. Can result in a boot loop. If that happens, you need to remove them through recovery.

Today's Setup Looking Awesome

You should join layers beta here

and layers google group

and if you get bootloop and anything is messed up, delete systemui and framework overlays from /system/vendor/overlays, better to just empty that folder before you start or when anythings messed up
delete framework and systemui from recovery only, because once running if you delete them, the system wil become irresponsive

Guys, i think i messed up. I'm getting bootloop after installing the grey theme. Now the thing is, i don't have any recovery installed to delete those overlays. And i cant install XZDualRecovery, because of the bootloops. So now, do you have any solution to recover other than a clean install.?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

If you go to play store and download ifont, you can change font as changing theme.

I installed ifont. Downloaded a font and 'set' it. Then I applied it in theme manager. But the font hasn't changed..?

It works for me on NXT-L29C636B170. Do check the version of ifont, only the latest work.

Same problem here also. No option to change font thru settings, and with ifont when I download and set a custom font but nothing actually changes. ifont on latest version. Any workaround?
Thanks!

There is fonts style under display
For me there are indeed font style under display

I also have this problem ...
all was fine until i downloaded & Apllied the Android N Theme
since then the font option in display menu & in themes Manger is gone
i can not change the font and it seems that the emojies in sms app are also gone because it shows me emojies in black an white !!
please help

Thank you for your answer.
Yes you are correct: I updated to 180 (now Im also on C900B180) and the font style appeared.
However, still no any luck with ifont. Are you rooted? Which rom did you use to update? Maybe this is a rom based issue...

When the font setting is not present, without root the only way to change fonts is using themes containing a new font.
But only few themes contains fonts, and most of them have funny fonts and/or make also unwanted changes to other system UI items (like the status bar icons).
Going back from a theme installing fonts is not easy, as the default Huawei themes don't contain the stock font.
Anyway, knowing the theme structure, one could prepare his own theme with the desired font.

It depends on the cust configuration used by your phone and the hw_oem configuration for your phone. I've patched that for the users of my KangVIP Slim ROM. But if your phone is not rooted there's no way to change it if the ROM you've flashed has <string hw_hide_font_style="true"/>
in the hw_defaults.xml files that are used. You've to set that to false in for example cust/hw/eu/xml/hw_defaults.xml and all parent configs used by the eu config or any other you want to patch. /cust/hw/normal is for example the parent of eu. Now you know how to bring up font feature in any Huawei ROM

So somehow i enabled the font style by accident? Because i realised. Theme that comes with fonts preinstalled allow me to change the fonts. Also themes with 8 Bit font (as an example) style some other fonts in theme doesnt work. Well now i just wait for new themes for emui, due to i having Asia (Singapore Set) i cant get more themes online, rather i need to sideload under hwthemes folder

That is very simple, your phone is using a cust folder where this option is set to false. I guess you're on B180 international. The cust folder in the ROM you've flashed is the reason that you could choose the font, not any theme you've installed. With modding cust files it's possible to enable theme download on any ROM, too, by the way ?

Hi,
my phone model is L29 and running on rom B180. I changed the <string hw_hide_font_style="true"/> to false in cust/hw/normal/xml/hw_defaults.xml and cust/hw/spcseas/xml/hw_defaults.xml, after that the font style option did appeared in display and theme manager, however there is only one default font to choose even there are plenty of fonts files under system/fonts/. Any idea where should I save the fonts files?

that are the systemfonts, you'll only get more if you install themes containing fonts, or fontpacks you could find for example in huawei club forum, maybe on xda too. These fonts are packed within hwt files too.

If you're root, you can use HiFont (and not iFont) app, avalaible in Google Play, to change system font.

[SOLVED] Error: Themes applying but no change made

I have downloaded themes using the stock theme app and they always apply. The app gives a toast "theme applied" and exits. But even after rebooting, the new theme is not showing.. It is as if the theme app is broken or does not correctly apply themes.
The only theme that is working is the default Obsidian(magazine). And after applying any new theme, the default Obsidian still remains.
I have cleared app cache & data and even tested applying new themes with Xposed disabled but that has not worked so far.
Am on MM.
Anybody with a solution to this issue?

Have you tried FIRST apply obsidian (even if you are on obsidian), and AFTER THAT apply any other theme?
(hint from sokkoban)

Use Substratum themes in MIUI

I am currently on MIUI-MM on my Kenzo as I needed working VoLTE .
But MIUI only allows to theme system elements and all other elements remain unthemed. (GAPPs, Whatsapp, Browser etc).
For testing, I installed Substratum and found it working fine for most of the supported applications.
Please note to skip system applications from theming. And as Substratum is working in legacy mode in MIUI MM, phone needs to be restarted after applying theme.
Some screenshots attached from MIUI MM.

Install "Substratum" from playstore.
You can also find themes in playstore. Search for "substarum themes"
* your phone must be rooted to use this.

Which (dark) themes work in Legacy mode?
Ah,nevermind got it after checking the screenshots. But in Play Store it shows "not compatible with your device version". I did try to obtain it elsewhere but package parsing error occurred. How do I get it?

You need root to work, it's because many elements are located in protected or un reached places with no root privilages.
Try to root your phone, or use Magisk to hide root (or XPOSED as there is MIUI v9 version).
To OP
Thanks dude, it's a perfect find, I have RN4 too, and it's pleasure to hear that substratum themes are working fine in in-app environment.

I'm on MIUI-MM too, but when I try to download the substratum theme engine (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum) Google Play shows no compatible devices. Did you sideload it, or am I looking at the wrong app?
