Yeah I agree with you 100 percent. Alot of new roms popping up are going with Layers and I too think it's garbage. I choose not to rate or judge a rom purely on it's theme engine preference however as it seems alot of roms are choosing to go with layers. Not sure if it's just easier to integrate or what the deal is but with my experiences with it I can honestly say I truly truly dislike the way Layers works and think CM theme engine should be the basis for most all CM based and aosp roms. It's a matter of preference I suppose but your experiences and observations are the same as mine. Back to the rom.... I am late as I haven't really been carousing XDA much as of recent but I'm on vaca. and had a minute and noticed the title for this rom included vs985 as being supported but when I knocked on the door, I realized it was not. No big deal as there is plenty to mess with but I have heard good things about this roms stability and wanted to give it a shot. Day late and a dollar short I guess. Glad you got to try it.
[G3 Android Development] tmjm28:
I also disliked layers at first mainly because of unfamiliarity. A few days of playing with it and I love it. The only flaw is that cm theme engine has more variety but this is a non issue because of the flexibility with layers theming. Layers allows you to use one theme for status bar, one theme for nav bar, one for Facebook, one for settings etc. In other words, you can use 30 themes at once and mix/match until you find a perfect fit. What is it that you like about cm theme engine that is not an option using layers?
[G3 Android Development] schwem:
What I dislike most about layers is that I couldn't find one theme that was good enough to just have one theme and leave it alone. I don't wanna spend countless hours mixing and matching and playing and theming to find a mix thats good for me. I have 3 cm themes that I use on every rom. I use one for statusbar and quick settings. One for settings and one for navbar and boom. I never touch it again. Theming is stupid and it should be one and done. I dont wanna change my facebook app, reboot, then change settings, reboot, then change starubar, reboot. It's stupid and just a waste of my time that I could be doing something useful. Cm themes you just click update and wait a second and you're good and you can change just enough to where you don't need to waste half your life finding the right setup. Case and point, it's an enormous waste of human existence!
[G3 Android Development] tmjm28:
That's the beauty of it imo, you can get your phone to look exactly how you want it to..in every cm theme I've always wished another app was themed or looked differently . layers allows you to theme each and every app exactly how you want it ...or if you don't want as many apps themed you have the option of not theming it.. I get where you are coming from though, it takes a few days to adjust no doubt
[G3 Android Development] :
FYI, layers is being used in android m.
[G3 Android Development] schwem:
Seriously?! Well looks like I just need to suck it up and adapt. I just don't want to get lost in the whole, theme ever app thing. Haha. I waste enough of my life on this phone. Layers just insures I'm a shutin. I figured things were shifting with the amount of roms now supporting layers over CM Theme Engine. I just enjoy simplicity over complexity and from what I've seen available there hasn't been that one or even 2 layers themes I've found that do it all for me. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. Thanks for the heads up.
[G3 Android Development] imucarmen:
I forgot to mention in my earlier post that the main reason I stopped using SOKP on my vs985 was data was really wonky. Sometimes I couldn't get it working though a reboot would bring it up, but then the next reboot it was gone again. I rebooted many many times during the few hours I ran it and had tons of issues with data not working.
[G3 Android Development] :
You don't have to use layers if you dont want to.
[G3 Android Development] schwem:
Yeah but whats the alternative to a rom with only layers support? No theming at all? That's simply not an option with the simple fugliness of stock android.
[G3 Android Development] :
Well you can't have both layers and themes. So you either use layers or you'll want to try a ROM that supports themes.
[G3 Android Development] schwem:
Yeah I understand that. There simply isn't many roms available any longer that support cm theme engine though.
[G3 Android Development] :
Actually there's a lot if you look for them. I build 2 ROMs that use theme engines, not including cm for the g3 d851. And there's others too.
[G3 Android Development] schwem:
Yeah I've found a couple but they don't seem to update very frequently and my favorite has an issue with the latest build having no data.
[G3 Android Development] red3razor:
A little clarification. [MENTION=4663500]imucarmen[/MENTION] you should notice that in bold print 99% of all cm themes on playstore... it instructs you to "REBOOT AFTER APPLYING THEME." So indeed, you are supposed to reboot whether using themes or layers. Also, to everyone with their doubts on layers (rro theme engine), it is advancing. The newest update of the layers manager app aims to be more user friendly. Only about 30% or so of the layers in playstore are updated to take full advantage of it, give the themers time to update. But for those themes that are updated: install layer from playstore, go to manager app, tap the layer you just installed. Then either select all aspects of layer to be themed or individually...

With layers you can mix and match systemui, framework, navbar, statusbar, messenger, hangouts, Google+, settings app, etc.... Pick and choose which layer/theme to use for which app, or select the same theme for every aspect of your OS.

Hope this may help some that are doubtful. It's something new to get used to and enjoy while doing so. And yes there are times I come back to cm theme based roms, because there are some really good themers over there also.

P.S. using the LS990
[G3 Android Development] imucarmen:
That is a bit misleading because the fact is TM applies the themes flawlessly without a reboot 99% of the time and layers doesn't apply them at all without a reboot. I've been using TM for over 3 years now and haven't needed to reboot to get a theme to work in at least 2 years. And even then it was rare that that would happen. The only advantage I see that layers has over TM is being able to apply directly to certain apps but TM has become pretty powerful with allowing you to apply different themes to everything else and one thing I don't see in layers is the ability to change only the font or bootanimations. Could just be the test build for the vs985 but layers is buggy as hell. I just restored back to SOKP and have been messing with layers for the past 30 minutes and it's just loaded with issues. I had to completely remove all the themes to get it to restore back to default because certain things got stuck and wouldn't change to what i wanted. Even when i would choose to apply all the layers after a reboot it would still have things from other layers applied. I'm sure with time it will get better but right now on the vs985 test build it's like pre-alpha.
[G3 Android Development] red3razor:
[MENTION=4663500]imucarmen[/MENTION] you did delete the previous layers before installing new? You don't have to delete EVERY layer, but you must delete i.e. systemui from one layer before you install the new systemui layer. You cannot simply overwrite one apk with another. Delete, reboot, then install the new one, then reboot. Yes, must reboot after each change.

And yes, it may be that sokp does not have all layers commits to operate without errors. Unofficial slimLP is in the same stages. I.e. when I apply a dark theme, settings would stay light colored and notifications were dark text on dark BG = unreadable. This was a rom issue, not layers, as I have used other roms with zero issues with layers. I cannot speak for sokp, no ls990 builds yet.
[G3 Android Development] imucarmen:
Thanks for the tips. Guess I should have read up on how to use layers because I wasn't aware of needing to uninstall and reboot first before applying new layers. Guess I'm just used to ease of use that TM provides. Layers really needs some work to become more user friendly. In it's current stage I absolutely hate it because having to reboot constantly is annoying.
[G3 Android Development] red3razor:
I hear ya. If you change your setup often, then reboot is annoying. Myself, I've got a couple layers I'm fond of, I set it up, then good for awhile. Here's an example why I used layers over cmte for a while: layers were first in theming the power menu/advanced reboot menu. The little details matter to me, the more complete a theme is, the attention to detail, the more satisfied I am.

That all said, I'll quit flooding this thread with layers stuff :P I do sincerely hope everyone has a fun time with the upcoming sokp development, and the future of layers.

Actually, I'll try the new 777 r10 kernel first to see if that helps.

32 GB 3 gb ram .

I have not yet used SD card & I am only using internal memory.

I am on CLoudy G3 1.2 kitkat ROM (Android version 4.4.2) .

Uptil yesterday G3 was perfectly fine.

I installed TDKR & Godfire and didn't have any issues.

However, today I uninstalled them and was updating Google , Google Plus , Google Maps , Retrica from Playstore when I got error 'Insufficient Storage' ! and apps didn't update.

Morever , I tried Aptoide and installed simple pomodoro app but still same error !!!

Guys I need urgent help,

Since I cannot believe that I will need to format the phone :( :( :(

I have right now 18 GB USED 8.7 GB free ...

I need a good stable kitkat rom which supports Quick Circle , Xposed , Remote etc (I love Stock) and of course it should be PRE ROOTED and alive (Like on kitkat gets updates and still rom is on kitkat) . What I mean is all updates or development are done with kitkat as permanent base :) :) :)

Please can you explain me a bit more clearly ??
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epidenimus:
To my knowledge, almost no work is being done on KitKat for the G3 at present. Most of the developer attention is on Lollipop and most of that is on AOSP. You are welcome to run a KitKat stock-based ROM, but are not likely to get much support.

Looking at your partitions, the thing that strikes me as an issue is that you are nearing capacity on your /system partition. This important partition is kept relatively small on recent versions of Android, since all user installed apps are moved to /data, which also lends itself to your internal "sdcard" (/data/media).

The problem that, while there is more room on the whole of the device, your /system partition is all but full.

My first guess is that something--possibly a third party app store app--is adding apps at the /system partition instead of /data.

It may also be the log files piling up, so you could try deleting those to free up some space.

Obviously, you could also uninstall some unused apps.

Just curious, have you played at all with AOSP ROMs? The install sizes tend to be far smaller, Xposed is really not needed, and there are some really awesome ones. What is your main reason for wanting to stay on KitKat and/or stock?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emerald123:
Which rom is best ?

Today I tried installing apk , it gave low space issue.

I updated Pinterest it updated via google play.

I installed different apps they installed.

I tried updating Gapps same issue.

Used Aptoide to install pomodoro paid app again same issue.

I love stock feel & Xposed framework !

Morever game killer is a must have for me.

Alongwith lucky patcher.

Also I am too camera obsessed & love photography.

SO can you please suggest me the best rom suited to my needs ?

I heard lollipop does not support game killer yet & xposed isn't yet fully supported on lollipop.

Morever , guide me so that in future if I need to go back to kitkat cloudy g3 1.2 is it possible ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epidenimus:
Where is Aptoide installing the apps? Gapps go in /system, so that makes sense that they would fail while others would not. If Aptoide is putting them there, too, that explains it. And if you are installing big games to you /system, then that can easily fill up a couple of gigs.

It's quite likely that flashing a new ROM will not resolve your problem if you intend to build it back to what you have now, so it's kind of a moot point to discuss ROMs.

Have a look in your /system/app directory:

ls -la /system/app/
