I have an issue...

For some reason... Using the new Multirom recovery based on TWRP 3.0..

I CANNOT... Get thru your AROMA installer...

Sometimes the screen goes unresponsive...

Sometimes it stops after installing but before AROMA finishes...

Sometimes I can't even select which apps to install...

Fortunately... It's not a huge deal... I just have to run the installer again after a forced reboot... And touch the screen as little as possible...

Device is a shamu...

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
I know there are/were issues with Aroma and TWRP3 depending on the base source.

Twrp using Marshmallow source had/has Aroma probs. Twrp built on KitKat sources was good to go.

For me TWRP3 / MultiRom on G3 D851 has no issues with the Aroma installer. Omni LP I think is the base for this one.

[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
I am puzzled as to what the issue is. I just tried it 4 times on my Angler with TWRP 3.0 MultiROM version installed. All 4 times worked perfectly. And I have a number of other friends/testers on Shamu (granted I haven't asked about MultiROM) that have tried it with no issues. Let me dig a bit deeper and get back to you.

I flashed the new pure Nexus update on my 7 using twrp 3 multi rom and I think the multi rom twrp is just buggy. what should have taken about 5 to 8 minutes tops to flash sat on installing SU for almost 25 minutes. not sure if there is any correlation, but just commenting on my 1 experience using it. Funny enough slim zero gapps installed in about 3 seconds... I think, it happened so fast I can't be sure. lol

While in the AROMA... The screen becomes unresponsive... Or even worse... Sometimes it just hangs during the actual writing of the apks to system...

I have yet to figure out what triggers the stall... But it happens... And never in the same place twice...

[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
The theme dev can resolve it easily in colors.xml. Nothing we need to do on theme ready.

[Android Apps and Games] g2uzer:
After I clean flashed new ROM , Gapps and aroma theme gapps I got 2 contacts, I deleted 1.3.0.7 using tittanum back up since it didn't show up on the playstore , will this cause any issues or is this completely normal?
[Android Apps and Games] wezman2k:
is it OK to flash this on top of the gapps beans recommends w/ pure Nexus? I'm assuming from there we just disable auto update in the play store...?
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
Yes, it is and yes, I would.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
That's what I do every ROM update. Flash Pure Nexus ROM, Pure Nexus Gapps, Theme Ready Gapps and reboot

2 stupid changes Google made in playstore and Google + set me back a bit. Gotta dig a little more to find them but I will. Otherwise I'm about done.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I know you guys are as accommodating as possible and make life a million times easier for both themers and users, and it's appreciated. 1 question though, is youtube necessary for theme able apps or could Train's black or clear version be used instead? I'm only asking as not every theme does youtube and I would rather have a blacked out youtube than a white bg youtube. plus with it updating 5 times a week, it would be less for you guys to have to deal with. it's not hard on user end to flash an extra zip. if it doesn't work, forget about this post and go back to your regular Sunday routine... thanks.

Hail ?
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
I considered that because stock isn't able to be inverted at all with themes without theme ready and others are and just need help in certain areas. Thinking on this....Thanks bro!
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
no, thank you. I know every freaking google app just recently updated and if it is easier on you guys I would rather just flash train's and have a blacked out or clear version on every theme than have it be blacked out or clear on 50% and white on the other 50%...1 less gapp to worry about users complaining about too. ?

What are the quirks that are noticeable should we not use the theme ready apps?

1. Friend / page suggestion in G+

2. Hangouts bg color when there is no current chat (All chats are archived)

3. Gmail >> icon and conversation stack number are black, mail text background is white

These are immediately noticeable.
[Android Apps and Games] Krunk83:
Is there any way to uninstall the zip after it is installed?
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
just update the apps from the play store or reflash gapps package

Hail ?

---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

huh? if you have issues, it is most likely the theme you are using and not the apps from the zip. these only expose more hard coded resources that layers and CMTE couldn't access because they were in layouts or smali. they should all be fine if you revert to stock theme.

Hail ?
[Android Apps and Games] VictorLapin:
I think, he tries to find out what are the issues exactly and whether he should bother with theme-ready apps. Just a guess.
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
The list is way longer, that's all your noticed? Lol
[Android Apps and Games] blueren:
In the last 2 days of playing with dark themes, that's all I've noticed for now :)
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
I have permanent OCD goggles that's see all that annoying hard code everywhere so it's hard not to see them now. Some themes also use a hack called background tint but it can hurt more then help so might be some areas you'll see themed but we don't use it much so theme ready is the more..how should I say..less hacky? Lol

[Android Apps and Games] magnamentis:
no problem with updates on this side. safest way is to remove stock and flash the zip but i've tried to freeze one and use the other, worked as well, while i'm using this on 5 devices and things are slightly different when it comes to whether the zip installs an additional version or will replace the present version. no matter what , flash this and it works, at least for me it does for several months already.
[Android Apps and Games] Jayrod76:
Yeah.. Background tint works BUT in a theme like BSC, it kills a huge part of what makes it stand out from say,Blakkat. I have only used it on one app..and it was because I wasn't going all chromed selectors and stuff on it.

Yeah Google didn't get me this time. Gmail and Google plus barely changed so easy peasy updates. Let me test then I'm uploading soon!
[Android Apps and Games] starcms:
Much appreciated!!!

My question is are there any layer themes out there that theme YouTube (@daveyannihilation, is that something that could possibly be added to Domination? I'm guessing there's some issue of why it's absent from all layers themes)? Is that a CMTE thing only right now? Or am I missing something?

I second that comment a couple pages back especially if there are no Layers for YouTube. You guys are busy enough. Just concentrate your time on the other apps already included. Not sure which of you guys (if any) are members of TBO, but that's the YouTube I use since I can't find any Layers for it, and I'm perfectly happy with semi-monthly updates on TBO's YouTube (Google seems to update it twice a week and for what? Ridiculous).
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Hey bud, yes I will add it to Domination in the future but it might be a while before I do. I don't know of any Layers themes that fully theme it, maybe CrystalTronik? Train88 does YouTube (as well as a bunch of other apps) and is one of the 2 admins of TBO (along with djdarkknight96)

#whiteuimustdie #themesmatter
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
Hi,

I was wondering if it would be possible in the aroma installer to choose (for non critical apps) to install them as user apps ?

For instance Google+, Hangouts, Gmail, You tube... as these apps needs to be reflashed each time a clean CM update is performed (don't like dirty flash ;) and it is impossible to restore them using Tibu (on Lollipop at least) ?

Thanks for your hard work, much appreciated :D
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
can't do it as they are modified and once the signature key is broken, they won't work correctly.. plus if you are not wiping data when you "clean flash" a nightly, it is a dirty flash actually. besides it's just 1 zip more to flash in recovery, only takes a minute or 2. if there was an easier or better way, these guys would be doing it by now. they try to make things as easy as possible for everyone. tibu can back up most anything, but it isn't going to be much easier than just flashing the zip...

[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
the aroma hangs on my note 4. using twrp and downloaded it 2x.
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
Just flashed fine on Flo. Did you verify the MD5 on the redownload? What version of TWRP?
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
I'm using 3.0.0 twrp
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
Sorry I am getting back to you so late, I flashed it on my Nexus 6 (Shamu) as well and it worked fine there too with TWRP 3.0.0-0. How long are you letting them flash? Do you get an error at any point?
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
It's just stays there and hangs on amuzerral
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
Are you flashing all of the apps?
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I've heard from 2 reliable sources there is an issue with the latest google app that causes launchers to crash repeatedly and drain battery because of a widget issue, can we just swap in last theme ready google app into the zip and flash? I'm presuming it shouldn't be a problem...

Hail ?
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
I heard that was with the beta, not the stable release.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I have heard a couple of different stories, i am only asking because after I flashed the newest zip, i charged my device and then had a few nova f/c's and my eyes are too tired to read the log. lol. it's all good, I'll probably just leave it at least overnight or if I hear something else. thanks. ?

Hail ?
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
Oh yeah I didn't realize one of the affected versions was available here, my bad for not looking at the versions close enough (see here). Probably worth taking a look at/removing until that gets resolved.
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
I tested this version extensively, it was the beta versions but I did stable. I have all the widgets on my launcher testing. I use apex. No fc no drain all day yesterday and this morning. Gotta also understand they do beta releases in stages so not everyone got those bad ones.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Yeah, i wanted to just make sure as i had a few f/c's on Nova for no apparent reason, and they mostly happened when fiddling with widgets. I read a post in the slim gapps thread and Alex posted a quote from teslacoil, so i just wanted to cover all bases. I have complete faith these were fully tested and I haven't had any issues since last night. was going to read thru a log but my eyes were shot and wanted nothing to do with it. lol thanks. ?

Hail ?
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
Oh no doubt good info, if you guys see this happening on Nova only maybe that's the key. I tried on Google launcher..of course no issues lol Google won't break their own launcher just others lol. ?
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
Thanks for the help. No I can't even get into the selection page to chose the apps I need.
[Android Apps and Games] mikebeatrice:
I just came in here to ask if anyone else was having issues with the Google app widget and if it was the theme ready version or not.

I'm not getting FCs, but the widget is broken. It's not updating properly and I have to tap on it about 20 times to get it to finally open.

I'm using Nova...So maybe that's the issue. I guess I'll just ditch the widget for now.
[Android Apps and Games] g2uzer:
The theme ready contact app is named as version 6.0.1 com.android.contacts correct? I forgot which one I deleted before since I have 2, don't want to delete the wrong on lol
[Android Apps and Games] VictorLapin:
Theme ready ones contain "google" in package name ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
don't use any google widgets on home screens, search or gnow widgets. there is an issue with the widget constantly running and causing errors, draining battery and memory. it has nothing to do with theme ready, google updated a broken app as per usual. you can roll back to previous theme ready google app if necessary.

Hail ?
[Android Apps and Games] marbertshere:
Would I be getting FC notifications if I'm having this issue? I'm not having any problems with Nova and the persistent search bar. Just an FYI for anyone.
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
Not necessarily. Some other side effects include higher CPU/memory usage and battery drain. The first one usually leads to crashing but it doesn't always. As DJ said, the apps roll out in waves so one group may be fine while another isn't.
[Android Apps and Games] aalupatti:
Sorry for this question but I am not understanding.

If I am flashing a rom fresh do I need to flash another gapps first before flashing this mod ?
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Yes you need to flash a ROM and then normal Gapps. Then after you flash them both, flash Theme Ready Gapps.
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbelieve1:
Yes my downloads (aka "Documents") always FCs. Not sure how to fix it. I've tried clean installs and nothing works.
[Android Apps and Games] Jayrod76:
Which ROM?

Your theme ,stock or another theme?

I noticed that CM ROMs don't like some stuff from frame redirected to common.. I had that issue with Docs/Downloads awhile back.
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbelieve1:
Pure Nexus ROM Layers version with the Magpie theme, but I believe, not entirely certain, this was happening before I even applied the theme. What did you do to solve the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Jayrod76:
Ok..I'm not super familiar with layers but maybe contacting the Magpie themer and giving him a log would help. I'm running the TE version of PN on my Flo and haven't had any issues on stock or my themes so it could just be the layer.

On my theme, I had a png pointed to common and it was fine on DU but crashed on CM/Validus etc.

You'd think that since CM maintains TE and coded the common folder, it would accept "@common" drawables on core apps! Hahahaha.
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbelieve1:
I have contacted the dev for Magpie, but he insists there isn't an issue with his theme and I have tried uninstalling the Layer for Document UI, but that does not have any effect on the FC for "Documents". What happens is whenever I want to attach anything it FCs. Then if I immediately try to attach again it works. So it is not completely broken. It's weird to me. Does this make sense?
[Android Apps and Games] vjtigas:
Is the Velvet.apk a nodpi version?

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 AM ----------

Looked inside, I saw that you used the xhdpi apk as the base.

Could you update it to use the nodpi one? Also, wouldn't it be better if you create a zip for a single app rather than including all apps do that all of us could save bandwidth? Just a suggestion though. Thank you so much!
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
Why do you need such things? The dpi resizes so doesn't matter. No I'm not doing separate zips that's more work and the aroma lets you pick what to install. Sorry about your bandwidth issues but you'll have to figure out another answer on bandwidth.
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
Umm I'm still having problems flashing the zip.... I tried everything. Downloading on wifi and data or my laptop. But when flashing it hangs on the screen and doesn't go the aroma
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
what recovery are you using? and also try the non aroma version and see if that work...

Hail ?
[Android Apps and Games] starbucks2010:
Guys,

what are you using to theme the "theme ready" apps: layers or other apps? can you give me some advices?

I use an S6 Edge+ with 5.1.1 TW custom ROM.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
Twrp 3.0.0
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
I have them being themed on both CMTE and Layers ROMs. I use MultiROM to dual boot Pure Nexus CMTE, Pure Nexus Layers and Dirty Unicorns and I have the Theme Ready zips flashed on all 3 ROMs.

Have you tried any previous versions of the Aroma zip? Have you tried changing the version of your TWRP?
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
I did the pervious one I think 9.2
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Ok then,

So have you tried that on the TWRP 3.0?
[Android Apps and Games] johnb380:
A lot of devices r having issues with aroma on Twrp 3.0 maybe rollback to 2.8.7.x and see if it works if all else fails.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Aroma doesn't work with some builds of TWRP 3. Sometimes depends on the source base used to build it. Should be no problems with official TeamWin builds.

XDA app search is not the greatest-_- so sorry if it's been asked before,

If I dirty flash ROM Because I want to try another kernel do I have to re flash THEME ready Gapps as well?
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
Depends on the Rom, there's a backup script in the zip but the Rom needs to support it.
[Android Apps and Games] g2uzer:
I'm running the latest purenexus layers version if that helps.

I know I don't need to re flash my gapps but I wasn't sure about Theme ready gapps since I'm fairly new to those.

Thanks for the help and thanks everyone for the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
If it's set to keep gapps on dirty flash theme ready will too! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] starcms:
Using official twrp 3.0.0-1 on Nexus 6 results in unstable Aroma. First attempt it froze before installation started, second time it didn't freeze until after install was completed so it's all good.
[Android Apps and Games] JaylanPHNX:
Since some people had the widget drain bug in last theme ready Google Now (myself included), and there has since been an update, would it be possible to get a G-now only zip (as opposed to waiting for a fully updated theme ready Gapps zip)? That is, of course, assuming the update changes nothing theme-wise.

It's baconnn!
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
If I update it I'll update the entire zip. It's not happening to me with the theme ready version so I have no way of knowing they fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] JaylanPHNX:
Fair point. Thanks.

It's baconnn!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Sorry for the dumb question guys, I have yet to understand the basics: does the theme need to support these modded gapps, or are they ready to go as they are? Do I need to ask something specific from the theme developer?

Hi mate, definitely not a dumb question. You will indeed need to kindly ask the developer of your favourite theme to add support for the Theme Ready apps. If they need a hand with adding support then we are happy to help.

[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Happy to see Nicholas Chum getting on board and his next theme will be theme ready and with full Arcus support. I don't know why more people don't use Arcus, as it gives a few nice options and as a user you get a bunch of themes for the price of 1. Judging by the look of an Arcus made theme it doesn't look like too much more work on developer side...
