Sir,

Que?

#whiteuimustdie
[Android Apps and Games] Starlogical:
I understand that the zips aren't themed.

I am using the latest version of Cataclysm on Nexus 5. Marshmallow too.

I installed the complete package v8.1 Aroma. The theme I used was Prime, which actually had a link to this thread within the description as an optional step.

If worse comes to worse I can just load my backup.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Is there a particular app that has white on white for the notifications? Or is it all apps?

[Android Apps and Games] stetsonaw:
What theme would this be, and is it on the Play Store or just XDA?
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
DarkMTRL and it is available on the Play Store
[Android Apps and Games] stetsonaw:
Weird that one works and hasn't been updated since July.
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
It works with the 7.0.1 Hangouts update (specifically the quick reply) ? Also I show that it was updated January 17th but that is the CM Theme Engine version.
[Android Apps and Games] stetsonaw:
I'm not saying it works, i thought thebear was saying it worked with the hangouts quick reply. Must be the CM one he keeps up to date, layers is far behind.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
I'll take it! The bubble is controlled by a png, the window background is controlled by a drawable xml and the text is controlled within colors.xml so quick reply can be themed without Theme Ready ? but in this update lotssssss of stuff can't be done without Theme Ready. It's a hot mess of coding, things have been moved, items hard coded in smelly smali. It's just...... typical Google. Y u no code app properly GoOgle

[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I'm all too familiar. Lol. I know you guys are busting hump on these updates, i was saying the theme he was using most likely hasn't updated to newest hangouts yet as they are most likely waiting for Thyrus' or your hangouts so it's easier to do and no getting complaints over black on black text. Or white on white. If on a non updated theme and using the new hangouts I'd bet notifications and quick reply are jacked because they haven't themed the new 1 yet. ?

[Android Apps and Games] flamus:
I think they have that already.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Yes I'm aware of it, but that's not he right version. I need to use arm 640dpi version, otherwise there will be some devices that show that they have an update available in the Play Store. So as soon as it gets uploaded, I will edit that version. I have already made Theme Ready Hangouts of the 7.0.113001250 version, but like I said I'm waiting for the correct version of the newer one before I edit that.

#whiteuimustdie
[Android Apps and Games] troymz1:
You made the new one? Is it up for download?
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
No sir, it is still being tested. I won't release until the correct version of the newest Hangouts is available.

i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. flashed contacts from the 8.1 chroma installer. contacts disappeared, so I installed it form google play, reboot and uninstalled updates per instructions and contacts reappeared. i then installed a black contacts layer "pitched glass" layers theme. rebooted, but not seeing any result.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Chroma Installer?????? ????

Sir does Pitched Glass correctly theme Google Contacts?

#whiteuimustdie
[Android Apps and Games] mistermojorizin:
Lol, I meant Aroma.

I don't know the answer to the 2nd question since it is a bit circular (theme only works if i install the themable version correctly, but i don't know if i installed it correctly so don't know if theme works). Which layers theme would you recommend to try? I want something dark and transparant, but black would be ok too.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Lol I know, I'm just being a cheeky bugger.

Magpie has black options and is awesome. Spectrum has black themes too. I highly recommend both.

#whiteuimustdie
[Android Apps and Games] negativzeroe:
And they compliment each other, Jimmy worked with Jeremy on Spectrum so you can just snag certain apps and add it to another. I usually take Keep and Settings from Magpie and throw it on Spectrum.
[Android Apps and Games] Dungeon47:
Commute/Evolve UI handles transparency very nicely.
[Android Apps and Games] mistermojorizin:
thanks, but didn't work for me. didn't make dialer or contacts transparent. I installed both themes and selected "translucent" in evolve. It did black it out somewhat, but it messed up some colors (like some text in the dialer app became unreadable, and made other colors just not look appealing to me).
[Android Apps and Games] BluntSmokeTrauma:
Any update for the newer version of Google dialer and contacts?
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
What newer version of Google Contacts and Dialer?
[Android Apps and Games] BluntSmokeTrauma:
Play store tells me I have an update for both after installing this. Contacts 1.3.07 and phone 2.3.12. The phone update includes the ability to block calls. If I update like it wants me to it obviously breaks my theme and goes back to the black on black menus. I uninstalled the updates and turned off auto update for them and they are themeable again...

Nexus 6 running xtrasmooth 8/11/15 build btw if it matters

Edit: the OP lists the correct build versions for the phone and contacts app so I have no clue wtf is going on. Installed using the aroma zip.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I think it's because this uses the multi dpi versions of those, otherwise you couldn't have 1 unified flushable zip for all devices. Just ignore play store updates and only update the apps when they update this zip. I could be off but that's what the issue sounds like to me. Correct me if I'm wrong here Davey. ?
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Bear sir, you could be right, but I have a feeling that it might be something different. Xtra Smooth is built on a factory image, and as such the versions of those 2 apps inside the factory images is old. Google have kept them at 1.2 and 2.21 for Contacts and Dialer respectively. So the versions in that ROM are old, and the Play Store will try to update you to the newest version. There aren't multi-dpi versions of those 2 apps, so I don't think that it will be that issue, but I could certainly be wrong. After you have uninstalled the apps, are they still showing as 1.3.07 and 2.3.12? Go to Settings - Apps and check to see what the versions are. Do you have GoogleContacts and GoogleDialer folders in /system/priv-app? Do you have com.google.android.contacts and com.google.android.dialer folders in /data/app? Please advise. The versions in the Aroma zip are 1.3.07 and 2.3.12 so I am puzzled.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Going by his comment that after flashing this, build # from settings and play store matched but still showed an update... That's why i figured it may have been a multi dpi app even though they are mostly discontinued on 6.0. Not too sure what the issue is, unless google snuck in a. 0000131 increment update. Lol
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
You are correct sir, I am sorry. I have been without coffee for about 3 days now so my brain isn't running at full steam. And I wouldn't put it past GoOgle to do something ridiculous like that.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
No worries bro, just helping out. Trying to narrow down the possibilities.. 3 days no coffee, did you go insane or something? Lol
[Android Apps and Games] BluntSmokeTrauma:
Nope, in settings my phone is version 2.2 and contacts is 1.2.

I do have them in system/priv-app, but I'm not seeing the files in /data/app. Weird.

Maybe I'll just have to finally get around to updating my ROM lol. I just don't like the way he went with the xtrafactory ROM that it is now, so I'll be looking for a new ROM after work today.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
If they're 2.2 and 1.2 then they're the wrong versions. Have you downloaded the latest zip? What about the Aroma version?
[Android Apps and Games] BluntSmokeTrauma:
I used the aroma installer that is linked in the 3rd(I think) post. It has the correct versions listed. Do I need to flash an updated gapps zip or something like that and then use the aroma over that? Because right now if I update to the newer version the phone force closes when I try to enter settings
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
No it doesn't need any Gapps package, because Google Contacts and Dialer aren't included in any.

Have you given both apps full permissions? I had FC issues before I gave them permissions and then no problems after that.
[Android Apps and Games] BluntSmokeTrauma:
Yes I gave them permissions. The contact app never force closes, but it breaks my theme if I let it update, the phone works fine until I hit settings in the menu, then it FC.

I really have no clue. I guess I will just flash a new updated rom, this one is like 6 months old, but it just works so good haha.
[Android Apps and Games] Adreaver:
[MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION] just a quick question, two actually:

Is aroma 8.1 the latest theme able gapps package?

Will it replace existing versions in system? I am about to clean flash pure nexus CMTE and its associated gapps. Or should I skip those gapps altogether?

For clarification, I am going to combine these and tbo clear apps with the klearkat CMTE theme, wanting the entire ui transparent if possible, blackout otherwise.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Hello sir,

Yes Google Apps Theme Ready 8.1 Aroma is the latest one available but we are in the process of updating all the Theme Ready apps at the moment. Most are done, I think we might be waiting for maybe 1 or 2 apps and then the Jedi Master will update the normal flashable zip. After he updates it, I will make the Aroma zip. So I am not sure when, but it will be soon. Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] starcms:
I'm sure you guys are on top of it, but new version of Google dialer, 2.3.17, just dropped. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-2-3-17-android-apk-download/

[Android Apps and Games] starcms:
Omg, just flashed, everything working beautifully, until I noticed an update for Google App, 5.9.26.19 in the play store. You guys can't catch a break. And what is it with Google and sooo many updates?
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Sir are you a part of their Beta Testing group? I don't see that update on apkmirror.
[Android Apps and Games] stetsonaw:
Not sure if beta or not, but just uploaded to APKMirror. Too big to upload here.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Gahhhh that absolute buncha! My kingdom for their app devs to learn how to code properly.

Ok Aroma is done and I'm just testing it now. Also testing new Google Dialer at the same time. As soon as I get confirmation that everything is working I will upload for you awesome stock theme haters.
[Android Apps and Games] starcms:
Yessir, but I've always seen the Beta builds on apkmirror. First time ever I actually saw a build in the store b4 it was posted.

Anyway, looking forward to Google dialer! Thanks so much today already guys!

Just curious, what Layers actually theme YouTube anyway? I haven't found one yet. (InversionUI has it listed, but doesn't seem to theme anything at all)

Boy that was an effort. The OP has been updated completely, including the new Theme Ready Hangouts. Post #3 has been updated with both the Aroma version of the entire package and also the new Google Contacts and Dialer zip which includes the updated Google Dialer 2.3.17 (that is also in the Aroma zip)

Phew. Hopefully El Goog lay off the updates for a bit. Oh I have probs just jinxed it. Serenity now!

[MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION] - #thegappswhisperer
[Android Apps and Games] Adreaver:
Quick question:

On a clean install, the typical process is to make a nandroid, wipe all the things, flash rom, flash gapps, boot.

Flashing this package, it initially appears that I would simply replace my usual gapps with the latest Aroma from post #3 and pick the apps I want. However, as this package doesn't include Google Play Services, I believe I would have issues following such a process. However, I have also experienced issues where a themable (or themed) app used a slightly different name than the one in the gapps package, and so did not properly remove the original apps.

To that end, what is the recommended gapps to flash before using this package? Do I need the full apps, and this just makes my existing apps themable? Do I install nano or pico gapps, basically just enough to get play services, then use your package?

I am interested in getting this right the first time, and have no problem doing a little extra work to make it so.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I used slim gapps. whichever their slimmest package is, but it's up to you how many gapps you want in your system. I use the bear minimum.

Hail ?
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Very good question! I think that you can flash ANY Gapps package and then the TR Gapps afterwards. I flash Pure Nexus Gapps and then TR on my 6P, but on my N7 I have to flash a very minimal package due to the small system partition. You can install a full Gapps package, and TR will overwrite the standard Theme-Unfriendly apps.

Any issues, just hit me up. Happy to help!
[Android Apps and Games] BluntSmokeTrauma:
So I updated my ROM, no longer see an update for phone and contacts, but the phone is still force closing as soon as I hit "settings" in the menu drop down. Any idea? Already gave it full permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
What theme are you using?

#whiteuimustdie #themesmatter
[Android Apps and Games] BluntSmokeTrauma:
Volt currently. Could the theme have something to do with it? I didn't even think of that. Let me switch real quick and report back.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Try Domination.

#whiteuimustdie #themesmatter
[Android Apps and Games] magnamentis:
Hi, just FYI:

a) my phone app updated today from playstore after flashing the "dialer + contacts" zip and all went well, no issues at all, perhaps worth to know.

b) if the installed version is another version, not i.e. com.android.dialer and this variant, com.google.android.dialer is flashed, the old variant shall stay there and can be frozen (or deleted of course)

why i post this is because once there was an ongoing discussion as to uninstall the existing apps before installing your package which as it seems is not necessary. to be honest i did not try how it works with both installed and none frozen because if it goes wrong a cleany could be due and i simply don't have that spare time right now :)

always using the opportunity to thank you for this because i really dislike those bright apps LOL :cool: :good:
[Android Apps and Games] BluntSmokeTrauma:
Yep going back to stock fixed it. Shame really cause I loved the theme, I'll have to email the dev(especially since I paid 1.49 for it...). Thanks for the help, I didn't even realize a theme could cause that issue.

I'll check out domination, thanks for the suggestion.

New YouTube out 11.04.55. Google is getting ridiculous. I can understand weekly or quicker updates on a Beta-channel app like the Google App, but YouTube has been being updated about every 7-10 days.

They are already releasing new ROMs at the beginning of every month, why not just include the app updates in there and stop pushing out these insignificant updates with no noticible changes every couple days? It must just drive you guys completely crazy!

Anyway, I had asked this, but it was in another long post, and I think it got glossed over.

Are there any Layers out there that theme YouTube dark or black? InversionUI has it, but the YouTube layer doesn't seem to alter a single thing. Maybe it could be added to Domination :p Do only CM Themes theme YouTube at this time? I figure you guys are spending time modifying YouTube...there must be something that takes advantage of it.

I noticed TBO was doing blacked out YouTube builds, and they looked fantastic, but no activity there since late December, which actually isn't really a long time (just seems like it with all these google updates), just curious if they are still in action? Or have they kind of been replaced by Layers and CM themes, especially with these amazing theme ready apps :D
[Android Apps and Games] alwaysbelieve1:
FYI: Hangouts is not themed properly. *See my attached screen shot. *
[Android Apps and Games] thereal_bigjake:

#whiteuimustdie #themesmatter
[Android Apps and Games] DutchDogg54:
As Davey mentioned - things like you see there are why theme ready apps exist. Flash those and don't take updates from the play store to have a nearly perfect theme experience. (oh, and thank them for going to the lengths they do to give such a great experience despite the growing difficulty of killing white ui)

I suppose it doesn't work with the transparent themes.I flashed the 9.3 aroma zip after resetting all the apps to factory state, but nothing happened.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Which app are you talking about and which theme are you using?

#whiteuimustdie #themesmatter
[Android Apps and Games] Sickaxis79:
I mean a few of the themed google apps included in the zip.I use the DropUi and Tranparent layer, but im unable to theme the dailer,contacts and gmail apps.When i flash the zip its still a white background.
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Google Contacts and Dialer aren't set up to play nice with transparent themes...... yet. I may have some help soon from the Supreme Overlord if we both get time.

I don't know about Gmail though.

#whiteuimustdie #themesmatter
[Android Apps and Games] Sickaxis79:
Thanks for the clarification.
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
Also the themes themselves needs to add the packages. They will not just theme from just flashing them. Themes must support them. My clear theme makes the dialer and contacts black until we can fix it to work with clear code. Make sense?
[Android Apps and Games] flamus:
Anyone have a YouTube dark layer that works? Seems the few I have don't have a working theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:

[Android Apps and Games] Sickaxis79:
That is some usefull info.Was just visiting this thread for asking the same question about youtube. Problem solved :)

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Can anyone explain how to add these lines for changing text colours ? Sorry if the question was already asked, but 72 pages is a bit much to read.

I use layer manager and dont know where to add the next text lines. Thanks

android:textColor="@color/primary" and android:textColor="@color/primary_dark
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
would probably get a better answer in the layers thread. those 2 text colors are usually in the parent theme of styles.xml of every app. they may be used for other things, like backgrounds or something depending on the app. if not anywhere in the parent theme of styles.xml, you would need to add it in and then add the colors for each in colors.xml. this is based on my knowledge of theming full apks and not any layers, they may have a different method that is easier which is why you would probably get a better answer in their thread. ?

Hail ?
[Android Apps and Games] gqukyo:
I have the same issue as alwaysbelieve1. I've also tried flashing the aroma installer as well as just the hangouts zip but none worked. Using the domination theme, pn rom and gapps.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
may have 2 hangouts in system partition, no idea what your hangouts was named in the gapps you flashed, or possibly you have it installed from the playstore or updated from the play store. I can check mine to see if there is any issue. last I checked everything looked great. running Pure Nexus myself, also try rebooting a few times. not soft reboots, full ones after applying theme. I had to reboot 4 times for hangouts to look right when I tested klearkat for DJ and Blu XS for Cerj.

Hail ?
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
If it looks the same as the screenshots posted earlier, then it's not Theme Ready Hangouts. Open Play Store, look for Hangouts, and if there is an UNINSTALL button then click it and do a full reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] gqukyo:
That worked. So I just have to wait for you to update and not take updates from play store? I only really care about hangouts.
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
Yes that is correct.
[Android Apps and Games] VictorLapin:
If you have TiBu, you can unbind hangouts from play store and have no update notification from it.
