Yeah, you're right. I was a bit puzzled when posting my question. Thanks for the reminder, I apologise for asking in the wrong place. Did so in the right place and got a solving answer.
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
Not to be rude, seriously...I just need to know....did you not read the OP and still flash it? Do I need to add a better description? If not you really need to read before you flash ANYTHING to your device. Just a tip.

Everything is on android file host..even old zips.
[Android Apps and Games] d.casper.b:
Hi all

I need some clarifications regarding these theme-ready gapps.

Ok, so I'm running stock MM on my Moto X Style. I've found that Contacts gives issues with layers themes, YouTube isn't themed, nor is Messaging - otherwise most is OK - maybe some oddness in Hangouts..

So I understand why use these, but how? Must I just flash them? Will it overwrite the "stock" version? I think my dialer is AOSP, not Google, not sure about if there is AOSP/Google Contacts, but if I'm on AOSP (dialer) and flash will I have two apps (dialers)?

Will it be a problem to flash the gapps at this point? I know with MM they always say to flash gapps before system boots to ensure permissions are properly granted or something to that effect.

Usually I wouldn't have these type of questions but I'm not flashing custom ROMs where I'd also be doing gapps at the same time. My ROM is already up and running.

And any more information you can share, please do, you might just answer some other lingering questions.

Kind regards.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Most issues with things not themed or not themed correctly are because of the theme running not these apps. These are completely stock apps that are modified to have hidden theme elements exposed so themers can theme them properly with layers or CMTE. It is up to the creator of the themes to make their themes, theme ready. These guys can't force that on them, they just make it so they can theme more elements that they couldn't with the apps directly from the play store. The zips will overwrite the apps in your system partition, if the app has updated like G+ for instance you will need to uninstall the update from the play store, turn off automatic updates and just be patient as google has been throwing out updates on the regular weekly and these few guys have other projects, real life, and other interests they pursue so not every update is done. They try to do as many as possible, but sometimes only necessary updates are done. I haven't a clue what contacts and dialer are included in MotoX but i assume they would be google. I don't think they are aosp. On top of all that, latest contacts can't be done, as it breaks the app after modifying, so search and read through the thread to see what the available working update is. And if you do wind up with 2 dialers or 2 contacts, i believe you just force stop the 1 you won't be using in settings. But i am not 100% on this and maybe [MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2126467]djdarkknight96[/MENTION] can give a better answer.

[Android Apps and Games] d.casper.b:
Thanks, my theme points to this thread as optional, so I believe these apps have been used to theme more elements.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
See if the apps updated or if the theme needs to be updated. The zips here were just updated 2 or 3 days ago, so the theme may need to recheck and update.

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$
[Android Apps and Games] d.casper.b:
Thanks, I haven't actually used these gapps yet. I just needed some more info before flashing as I don't want to mess up my stock setup (of course I'll backup before though).
[Android Apps and Games] JaylanPHNX:
So long as you make a backup, there's no harm in trying them out. You may end up with two dialers, but you can select which one to use.

It's baconnn!

G'day awesome stock theme haters,

Just a little heads up to let you know that I have added a very brief F.A.Q. to the 1st post. It is just a little bit of information that is there for anyone first coming to the thread and is unsure of how everything works and a few answers to some common questions that we get asked semi-frequently. Any suggestions/feedback/Dave you loser why would you say that/anything else, feel free to let me know!

As always - thanks and happy theming,

Dave

[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
I know you guys are super busy, both with team blackout, your themes, your families, and real life stuff. (except dj, he's a retired DJ, must be great to retire at 35. Lol) But happy to try and help whenever possible on the thread. Just going to see more and more users as they start using themes and layers and get referred to use these apps. Biggest issue I think for new users is their expectation that apps are pre themed not just exposed more so they can be themed correctly by CMTE themes and layers, and that is a quick and simple enough answer...

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
Thanks Bear, we greatly appreciate it :highfive: Good point on the flash-and-it's-already-themed expectations, I will add that into the F.A.Q. when I get a spare minute.

[Android Apps and Games] kamikaze702k:
What a big update, so much hard work goes into this, let's all give a moment to appreciate the darkness
[Android Apps and Games] doubleaykay:
Unless these absolutely have to be flashed via recovery, someone should make an app that can not only install and update the theme-ready apps, but also detect what version of the respective apps is installed on the device (stock vs theme-ready).
[Android Apps and Games] Train88:
No disrespect, but I do believe you are dreaming sir. First, they do have to be flashed, or pushed, to system. Second, our theme ready apps ARE stock. We simply eliminate/redirect lazy GoOgle's hard-code, and fix some things for layers themes. Third, the TBO Updater is gonna be the closest thing to that, and it was enough work for us to just redesign it & add a couple features (we are not developers by trade/education - we're self-taught).

Don't get me wrong, it would be pretty dope to have a play store type of thing going, but it's beyond any of our knowledge
[Android Apps and Games] doubleaykay:
Ah OK, I did not know any of that. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
If you guys ever used your damn pushbullet channel people would know exactly when the updates drop and you would be as close to the play store as you could possibly be. Lol ?

[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:

Are you referring to this one Bear? The one I update every time TBO updates? I think you must be talking about this one, which I updated 19 hours ago. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Surge1223:
...psh 19 hours ago.

You obviously are not aware of how often people flash roms and change themes and full wipe, and switch phones then come back and then rewipe and then reflash stock and then flash a rom

19 hours is like millenia to these people.

They probably already have posted 79 etc requests in that time.

Pick up your pushbullet game bro
[Android Apps and Games] davidwilson83:
LOL you trolling millennial! Well lucky enough, Pushbullet keeps information even through clean flashes thanks to the beauty of GoOgle account details. You'd know that too if you weren't running Android Cupcake :laugh: How's that kernel coming along? Is there any danger of you releasing it before 2020?
[Android Apps and Games] wrongway213:
This post made me laugh a lot, and I'm not really sure how to feel about that :p
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Not Davey's fault, apparently pushbullet just doesn't like telling me when there is a notification. Which is funny because that's the whole point of the app. I can open pushbullet and it will show the notifications but doesn't actually notify me when there is an update. Lol. What's weird is I get notifications just fine from other devs. Doesn't really matter as i see the updates on g+ 1000 times whenever you post em.

#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
[Android Apps and Games] d.casper.b:
I've just flashed the dialer/contacts and hangouts. Dialer seems problematic. Call came through but only the ringtone and finally the missed call notification. After re-enabling AOSP version, all was fine - probably because the AOSP version was used. Other than that, the parts in AOSP that were not skinned correctly were still the same in Google (I believe my theme is theme-ready ready... I'm using Prime layers).

Contacts was fine - no more black on black.

Hangouts was fine.

Anyway to uninstall the gapps? Like what to delete where? I'm particularly interested in removing the dialer.. in any event, my AOSP apps are still installed.

Regarding Hangouts. Can you elaborate for me a bit?

From what I assume, the stock hangouts is replaced with the theme ready hangouts in the system partition. To revert to stock I would simply update from the play store. But i believe update data resides in user data - hence the "uninstall updates option" - hereby ultimately returning you to the theme ready version. How to go back to stock/default hangouts - flash some gapps?

I really do apologise. I just like being clear about what's happening so that I'm more able to make a decision without simply guessing or hoping for the best.
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
All these apps are stock with just fixes so it's not the apps it's your theme, nothing we can do and no need to remove theme ready anything. They are still stock!

And before anyone points it out - lemme say this (bc I know there's gonna be that one dude..) ...yes, YouTube has two more updates on apkmirror. But nobody on the team that I've asked has an update since last time. I have looked at both, and neither are "updates" compared to YouTube updates normally. At this rate it will be one or two more updates before it's worth the time.

Also, I guess the "life" bug has hit me. Busy at work, new gf, etc. I'm not gone though...I'm just trying to reschedule my time tables

How do you update TBO gapps when a new version comes out ? So if I flash a copy of 5-26 on my ROM then later in July there's another version, do I have to clean flash my ROM with the newest gapps or can they be done while keeping the same ROM ?
[Android Apps and Games] djdarkknight96:
Just flash updated gapps, Rom flash isn't needed.
[Android Apps and Games] mikeprius:
I may be overthinking this, but I have read the OP several times. So I flashed the theme ready gapps, now I have duplicates of the apps ? Do I uninstall the prior one that were part of the original gapps flash ? It only says disable as a feature no uninstall updates ?
[Android Apps and Games] Train88:
Press disable - what it actually does is return the app to the stock, unupdated version. But you will still need to use root to delete/uninstall the duplicates. Which ones are duplicated?
[Android Apps and Games] junioramboy:
Just a quick question. TBO GApps is totally black or just dark?

Shamusent
[Android Apps and Games] santadomingo:
Team Black ?
[Android Apps and Games] mikeprius:
Thanks for the info. So currently I'm seeing duplicates of contacts and phone (dialer). I also saw double of photos. That's what I assumed when I read the OP, but it was not explicit....meaning use titanium backup to pull out the existing apk prior to flashing...it seems that it would be better to completely uninstall rather than disable ?

I was using aroma installer version. ...... I know for most gapps they pull out conflicting apps.........just wondering if the same script is possible for theme ready gapps so when you flash if it conflicts it automatically pulls out existing ones prior so there are not duplicates ? Not a big deal just something that came to mind while thinking about it.
[Android Apps and Games] Train88:
We do have scripts in the zip and aroma, that's why I was wondering which apps weren't being replaced. Yes uninstall is better - using the "disable" feature is more for if play store tried to auto update the app
[Android Apps and Games] mikeprius:
Its amoled (pure black, not LCD black)

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

[Android Apps and Games] junioramboy:
Alrighty..

Alrighty.. I have an AMOLED, the reason I asked is because I have a dark theme. If the GApps are totally black, then it will not match.

Shamusent
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
Nope indeed. Best deal is to find a theme which handle theme ready apps.

I highly suggest you give a shot at domination as it fits in my opinion amoled and lcd screens great (but background will be black that's for sure).

Anybody have a list of good themes that utilize the changes you guys make? Searched Theme Ready Google Apps on the play store, Domination obviously popped up first. I'm using it for most apps, but some of the layers won't install properly (go into Uninstall and it shows the layer name, but no package name, remains unthemed after reboot... It's like the sub-apk doesn't get copied to /vendor/overlays properly. Some layers (like Google Keyboard) installed just fine, but Hangouts and others have issues. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling both Layers Manager and Domination Donate.

I'm currently using a combination of Domination, Dark Material, InversionUI, Neat and Prime.

Thanks!!

Using a root enabled file explorer, check to see how much free space you have in /vendor/overlay. The error you're having usually happens when you have run out of space.
