Try powershade , it's a little buggy but does the job

Powershade isn't the solution for changing accent color of whole system UI ,
We want accent colors like oreo

Magisk module: System Accent Theme (colors) for P.
It changes accents in whole system.
I didn`t find any other solution without root.

Not possible without root as far as I know. But fairly easy to use with Magisk and systemless Substratum module.

Install substratum, install theme, choose what you want to theme, build it, reboot phone, apply what you have built. Between build and apply you have to reboot the phone, otherwise it won't work.

Tried everything that you have said, but after applying the theme successfully even after reboot its neither showing in theme under display nor it is applying as default

Flash this module in magisk and you will get all the colour options in display settings.

Themes should be enabled/applied in Substratum manager as the last step, not via system settings.

Don't use substratum. Root with magisk and use module that i mentioned. That's what you need. System accent color. After applying go to settings --> display and on the bottom there will be accent colors.

[HOW TO] Get Wallpaper on Custom Launcher

EDIT: This post applies to Fire OS 4.5.n. Beginning with OS 5, Lollipop, we're able to put wallpaper on custom launchers.
This method lets you use any image for wallpaper and works with most launchers. If it doesn't work with yours and you really, really want wallpaper, try a different launcher.
This requires root and does not apply to the stock Fire launcher. You can't put wallpaper on that.
Requirements
Root
Xposed framework v. 2.6.1 from here. (Look under Show older versions for 2.6.1. Don't use experimental 2.7)
Gran PC's KindleBG module here
A file explorer to install Xposed and KindleBG
QuickPic app from the Play Store
Instructions
Install and open Xposed. Choose the Framework option and press Install/Update. Tap Reboot and say Yes at "Are you sure?" [Fire reboots].
Install KindleBG.
Run Xposed and choose Modules. Tick the KindleLockBG box. Go back to the Framework screen and reboot.
Run QuickPic and choose the image you want for wallpaper.
Open the QuickPic menu, choose Set as, and then QuickPic wallpaper.
Crop the image the way you want it and press the checkmark at top of screen.
Linker Warning with Shell Commands
With Xposed installed, Android displays a linker warning with the commands we use to block/unblock system apps. You can safely ignore this. Xposed does not cause a memory leak and, at least with the the KindleBG module, does not pose any security risk.
is this for the fire HD6 and HD7. I've heard reports of bricks due to exposed on these devices

Yes, Fire HDs. I've been using Xposed on my Fire HD 7 for several days without problem. BUT FWIW, I did not install SuperSU.
EDIT: Installed SuperSU yesterday and np with Xposed through lots of boots and messing around.

DoLooper, would you care to do a detailed report on what you tried with Xposed that worked besides the wall paper? I'd like to try it, but the bricking reports scare me for now, since I don't understand fully what Xposed does.

Hey bibikalka, so far I've only done the steps I wrote--installed Xposed, the BG module and also Gran PCs module to block OTA updates. Today, I uninstalled Xposed and installed superSU, reinstalled Xposed and modules--just to make sure the SU didn't have an effect.
Better question might be what I haven't done, which is mess with any system apps or other internals. Did use JMZ's great tool to install gapps, but don't think that should matter.
Anyway, will install Gravity Box later (one of the more fun xposed modules) and keep you posted.

So I scoured the Fire HD 6/7 forums for posts of bootloops/bricks caused by Xposed and everything comes back to just one post. This from @Drew123abc123 where he says:
I installed a custom boot animation, did a few system modifications and everything was working fine. But then, the next day (today) I tried to install Xposed and rebooted and got a bootloop.
Click to expand...

I wouldn't wish unrecoverable bootloop on anyone, but wonder what were those mods? Did he reboot after? Did he install the xposed 2.7 (experimental) or any "unusual" modules? But that said, Xposed can put devices into bootloops--see "In case you get into a bootloop"--so I understand people being reluctant.
Only know that Xposed with the BG module is working fine on my "pretty clean" rooted HD 7--and I've got wallpaper!

Ah ok then I think this should be just fine. Too bad I lost root /:
With Nova Launcher you Doesnt need QuickPic
That's fine. This is for anyone who can't get wallpaper
Just a little bump for others who need this now.
When I try to install the Xposed Framework I get an error saying "Failed to get root access."
I just upgraded to 4.5.4 via instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-4-5-4-twrp-root-t3141648
I believe I am rooted (Titanium Backup says so) but I do not see the Superuser app in my app drawer?
Edit - Just installed Superuser from the Play Store and that fixed it!
is there a way to modify the lock screen images using this process?
No. They can't be changed.
Prior to this build, changing lockscreen was not a problem..Did they remove the feature in 5.2.2u2

You can still block ads and get Amazon's wallpapers, but you can't put your own images on lockscreen, which I thought the OP was asking about. Vaguely remember you could use own image in Developer's Preview, which was much more AOSP. 5.2.2u2 is all Amazon all the time again.

Yes I had a custom wallpaper on my lockscreen in Developer's Preview. I have since bricked that one and putting it back on there would be my last step to my new refurb. I could even rename my tablet which is greyed out now on 5.1.1.
Is it possible to downgrade back to Developer's Preview?
I would ask bibikalka in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950

Fully black theme with no root

Hello guys,
I'd like to know if it's possible to get a fully black theme (settings, notifications, all options i mean like in Substratum) with no root. It's because I just bought this phone, and don't want to lose the warranty by rooting it.
PS : Is it a significant battery saver to get a black theme, or does it just give you 5 minutes more of battery life ?
Thx
AMOLED will save battery by displaying black screens. Not just dark. It has to be black. Hex #000000, black. Basically it keeps the individual pixels off instead of turning them on to display black.
As far as I know, there's no way to fully theme everything without root. Notifications require theming of framework which will require root. Either to use Substratum or decompiling, editing & recompiling & pushing back to system.
Also, the only way I could see root voiding your warranty is if you use root to overclock your CPU to absurd voltages and short out the phone. There's a thread buried in general somewhere where someone posted chat logs from Google. They mentioned warranty could be void due to problems caused by root (like mentioned above), however unlocking the bootloader and rooting shouldn't automatically void it. I know the unlocked BL won't, not 100% on root. Then again I've sent it rooted Galaxy Nexus, rooted Nexus 5 and a rooted Nexus 6P in for warranty repairs / exchanges and was never once charged. Fully functional phones that booted and they could easily see I was unlocked, rooted & running a custom ROM, etc.

Substratum, but again, you'll need root.
If you do go down that route, be careful theming framework on 7.1.1, it will cause boot loops. It was broken by Google who has since fixed it internally. We just need to wait for an update. Know how to recover if that happens. I'd recommend to follow Substratum Development on Google+ for more info.

Help w tuten1000's Guide: Root + custom kernel + clean rom

In the last week I received my xperia x compact completely stock. First thing I do when I get a new phone before even activating it is root it. I was utilizing this guide to root my xperia x compact "Guide: Root + Custom Kernel + Clean rom + TA for X Compact" and I am stuck on the step where you are instructed to flash the modified XC-GenesisKernel-v1.04-nodrm kernel and SU. Flashing this kernel always results in a boot loop (Ive waited more then 30 minutes for it to resolve). I reflash the stock service exchange unit - 34.1.A.1.198 MM firmware to get back a functioning phone. The guide recommends:
"Run xperifirm and download the "service exchange unit - 34.1.A.1.198" firmware for posterity and latest rom for your region."
Am I supposed to use the most current nougat firmware for the following steps and only use the service exchange unit firmware if I need to downgrade to the lower original firmware? The thread for the XC-GenesisKernel states it is for nougat roms, which would explain a boot loop when I try to use the service exchange unit MM rom. Ideally Id like to stay on MM so that I can use xposed. Root and the phone being fully functional with no loss of camera and such is my main desire, xposed is secondary. I have a Backup TA of my DRM keys, the phone bootloader is unlocked, and I am looking for a little direction / clarification, any help in this respect is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks, I read through it and I see indeed the latest nougat firmware is what I should use in the later steps of tuten1000's guide and is the source of the boot loop I am experiencing.
If possible I would like to stay on marshmallow so I can used xposed framework. Are you aware of or can you recommend a kernel I can flash that will give me root, fingerprint, and use of most DRM functions while still on marshmallow.
Maybe you can try my guide using Magisk with full DRM, Xposed and root. But you need to flash back to MM first if you need Xposed.

Excellent itandy, this this just what I had in mind. I never downloaded and flashed a nougat rom as xposed was important to me. In following tuten1000's guide I did flash the XC genesis kernel as well as SU in recovery. This resulted in a boot loop but a prerequisite in your guide is a /system partition without any trace of su. Since I reflashed the stock service exchange unit 34.1.A.1.198 MM firmware I should be good to proceed right?

Okay, it would be nice to be rid of but it is a worthwhile trade off.
In your guide you mention a safety net, and installing xposed breaks it. What is this safety net and what is the draw back to breaking it? Am I locked out of certain apps or functions?

SafetyNet is the security checking API used by some apps like Android Pay and Pokemon Go to make sure your device is not tampered with. Simply put it makes sure your device is stock, not unlocked, rooted or modified. Magisk currently is able to bypass SafetyNet checking for root and some other "unwanted" apps. But Xposed will still be detected because it works in much lower system level. And with Magisk you can simply disable Xposed temporarily and reboot if you want to use, say, Android Pay.

This is my first xperia experience, I am coming from a samsung s3 running a KK slimrom and things are a bit different on this device. Any other pointers or recommendations for this new phone? Is there a way to make the soft key bar transparent so I can actually utilize the full 4.6"?

Great, I will definitely check out your app. Ideally Id like to mimic what I believe is called the "immersive mode" in supported apps. In this mode the app takes up the full screen and the icons are replaced with three persistent minimal dots.

OEM unlock should be optional. Fortnite only checks for adb and it uses safety net. So long as magisk the apk is hidden (in magisk settings) and Fortnite is hidden (magisk hide) it should work for you also. There is a file you can edit to bring the OEM toggle back if you wanna try that
just delete magiskmanager folder .....will surely work give it a reboot

Recommended order for first time OnePlus user

Hi XDA community,
I will receive my new OnePlus Pro 8 tomorrow.
This will be my first OnePlus phone and it will likely be the North American version.
Primarily, I would like to unlock the bootloader and root the phone, additionally also have the Dual-sim functionality enabled.
I don't have a lot of experience with rooting, but can follow steps and instructions
1) Should I start the new phone let it update all the way to oxygen OS 11 and than follow steps to unlock the bootloader and root the phone and than transfer my data? - Will this process be more complicated than doing it with Oxygen OS 10.?
2) Once the phone is rooted, can I transfer data from my old phone through the USB/Phone/data transfer apps so it gets setup automagically ?
3) Does TWRP work with OS 11 ? if not is there an update schedule for it?
4) Does Dual Sim for NA phones work with Oxygen OS 10 or is it enabled only at Oxygen OS 11 ?
Any things else that I should be aware of? (this process or the phone in general as well?)
Thank you all
DV
Peace.

Is there a forum thread for how I can unlock the bootloader and to perform root, the XDA forum threads while very resourceful are a bit overwhelming as there seem to be multiple methods of achieving root.
I am not planning on installing customROMS as yet, just want the phone to be unlocked and so I can enable the colour filter, installing gcam etc for now.

Do you mind pasting the links here, I have managed to get the bootloader unlocked using fastboot.
(NVM, I think I found your threads oneplus-8-pro/how-to/root-uk-eu-patched-magisk-boot-img-t4175033 & )
My model is IN2025
OS: 10.5.10.IN11AA
I wanted to know,
1) OxyOS updater is prompting that there is an update to Oxygen OS 11.IN11AA
Can I update to OxyOS 11 and still keep the bootloader unlocked ?
"It displays that OEM unlock is detected, system will download the full upgrade package, please backup data...etc."
2) Should I root my phone now and later will I be able to upgrade / flash to Oxygen OS 11 ? -North-American market requires OS 11 for dual sim
Where can I find the appropriate files to get make a 'patch' using payload for this version (10.5.10.IN11AA) ?
Thank you

(NVM, I think I found your threads oneplus-8-pro/how-to/root-uk-eu-patched-magisk-boot-img-t4175033 & )
My model is IN2025
OS: 10.5.10.IN11AA
I wanted to know,
1) OxyOS updater is prompting that there is an update to Oxygen OS 11.IN11AA
Can I update to OxyOS 11 and still keep the bootloader unlocked ?
"It displays that OEM unlock is detected, system will download the full upgrade package, please backup data...etc."
2) Should I root my phone now and later will I be able to upgrade / flash to Oxygen OS 11 ? -North-American market requires OS 11 for dual sim
Where can I find the appropriate files to get make a 'patch' using payload for this version (10.5.10.IN11AA) ?
Thank you

Yes you can
Yes that's fine
Easiest way is whatever you like .
You can either root now then take the update and then OTA install magisk patched or just boot the magisk patched after and then directly install
Sorry, I still have some more questions..

I updated to OS11.IN11AA to enable Dual Sim first.
I guess I can try rooting now. Sorry I still have a few queries:
1)
In your instructions you suggest extracting 'your own' boot.img using the payload_dumper.
My phone (thanks to the OEM unlock) has downloaded a large 2GB+ zip file on the phone, should I use that payload.bin to extract the boot.img
or
the one on the oneplus website will work as well? - They appear to be the same but would like to know if there is a difference.
From the oneplus Website: OnePlus8ProOxygen_15.O.30_OTA_0300_all_2010031617_2198430880804411.zip
From the phone: OnePlus8ProOxygen_15.O.30_OTA_0300_all_2010031617_f9ca0bfd1b.zip
2)
I installed MagiskManager from the link in your thread (Preferred magisk manager- https://mega.nz/file/LU9U3aSC#EFJTOK...ejzi-VyUa3nQq8)
There weren't any updates till I selected the stable channel and than canary again. I have installed the whatever updates, it showed:
It now reads:
Magisk (latest): 1469b82a
Installed: N/A <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Why does it show N/A ?, will this change after the rooting process ?
Ramdisk: Yes
A/B: yes
SAR: yes
Crypto: File
Manager (latest) 1469b82a(315)(14)
installed: 1469b82a(315)
Does this seem correct?
You have been really awesome !
Cheers,

Hey,
1.) Yep that's absolutely fine, I tend to use oxygen updater as it's been absolutely flawless up until now and it won't allow you to download a firmware not compatible with your device.
Wherever you choose the numbers you've shown seem good to me, but id I had to choose I'd go with oxygen updater.
2.) Some people have had a lot more luck with the beta channel, so long as you have the install/update buttons then you're ready to patch the boot.img and go ahead and boot it using Fastboot.
Don't worry about N/A that just states that magisk_patched isn't there yet, which is normal.
So at this point, you're welcome to stick with stable but I couldn't recommend it as I've not done this myself, I've only had luck with canary but others have had luck with beta.. I'd recommend one of them channels, changing back to canary may now show the buttons that were missing..
If not then beta.
There are some troubleshooting steps at the end of the guides at the bottom. As well as all the files which I used.
Let me know how you get on

Thanks again for all your help!
So I believe, the channel display when first opened did not show any install / update buttons but the settings showed channel: Canary.
I believe I switched to stable and the buttons showed up (i did not install than), after which I switched channels to canary and than installed.
When I search for the "1469b82a" and magisk it shows this as a Update to Canary channel (3days ago) https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/blob/canary/notes.md
I hope I am on the right track..
-------------------------------
UPDATE: So I think it has worked,
It seems I am rooted now, I have installed Titanium and bunch of other stuff that needs root.
(but I think I may have goofed up and ended up mixing your two solutions)
It was installed in 'b - drive/section'.
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img <(This is different from your step 4, where you do fastboot boot magisk_patched)
(I am hoping this did not goof things up, I misread )
It flashed just on 'b' - drive.
I did not flash in both 'a' and 'b'.
I also did'
"
5. Open magisk manager and click install/update, if you are missing the install/ update buttons, change magisk version to beta in magisk settings.
6. Select Direct install (recommended)
"
When I open Magisk Manager now, I see installed 1469b82a (21101) < same as the latest
I also have the "Uninstall Magisk button" showing which wasn't before. and settings shows me many more options (super user, magisk hide etc.)
2) Also what does Magisk hide do?,
> I have read many bank apps wont install due to rooting, will that help?
Thanks for being so patient and answering all questions !

That's ok you just flashed it twice.
Reason for the boot and not flash is due to the fact that boot images can always go wrong,, bad copy or just corruption. But if you're rooted then you're all good
Magisk hide attempts to hide itself from apps that works otherwise detect it, meaning you can go ahead and use Google pay our your banking apps.
In theory anyway, but some apps have other ways of detecting root and thus it won't work.
Up until now I've been ok.
I see..
Ah I see, Thanks again. Google pay complains about root, but my other Bank apps seem fine so far. I'll try my luck with hide magisk.
I suppose next time the phone updates, I will lose root as the active partition will switch ?
The only odd thing that has happened is the I have an extra/duplicate icon for the Android Files App. I don't know how to get rid of it...but it's not a big issue.
Thanks again for your help!

I am new to the whole rooting thing.
