[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
One click simple ones such as PitchBlack or Inversion UI are pretty good. But I prefer paid ones such as MagPie or CommuteUI+Evolve.

Choose Black/Blackout for Background/Primary clolors on MagPie/CommuteUI and that's the 000000 you are looking for.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
So I'll trying these new multi players or whatever with magpie and colors.

I must be picking too many layers cause I go in a boot loop and have to reflash vendor.

Can anyone post a screenshot of their lauers manager screen and what they are selecting?

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
MagPie v13 no longer have need Colors, read the change log, or these installation instructions: https://plus.google.com/+JimmySetiawan84/posts/gURtvPixwGa

Ofc you will need to check to make sure your LM is 4.4.0b3 or newer.

Also, to come out of a bootloop there is no need to reflash vendor, you just go into TWRP2.8.7.2, mount vendor, delete Vendor/Overlay and reboot.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] FuMMoD:
Make sure you're not mounting the environment for lollipop.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
ahhh yes didnt notice the L framework..thats what it was..

really liking this theme so far i just wish the settings background and notification pulldown was pitch black like the contacts/dialer and msg app but this looks really good.

ahhhh okay didnt think of that on vendor thanks
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Looks pitchblack to me, and no different from the contacts/dialer background
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
thanks guys i think i got it maybe lol
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
Magpie theme is the ****!!

I take it I dont need colors theme anymore?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Yes, you don't need it anymore.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Suicidal Chicken:
Hi guys,

I'm running Stock marshmallow on my 6P, busybox installed - the works. I've installed CommuteUI layer + Evolve, and everything is perfect except for these issues (there might be more,) as shown in the screenshots.

I've already flashed the theme ready contacts and dialer - but as you can see, some text is difficult to read.

Does anyone know as to why this is happening?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Those are colors hard coded into the app(Playstore stars are notorious for this), likely won't be solved by the developer. For Flashify I use its black theme and haven't encountered any unreadable texts. If a hard reboot doesn't solve those, post your screen shot on the developer's gplus community(https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/103827254371302446157) and summon +Stefano Trevisani to help you.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Suicidal Chicken:
Hey mate, thanks for the prompt reply. I've already spoken with Stefano to which he's at a loss. I've followed his instructions to a T - and still no dice.

You stated that they're hardcoded within the app - Which I wholly understand. However, if that's the case - then surely the text shouldn't be changing colour? With flashify, the text is changing for that prompt. The text also changes colour within the contacts app

Phone is screwed...

Hi if anyone could help me out, i really need it please.

So i have the Nexus 6P, rooted. I went to install some layers with layers manager, started using my phone no problem. Then did a restart on it, got back to the main screen and all the apps kept crashing saying this app doesnt work, i restarted again and they all started working. However, after this now my settings wont load its saying "settings has crashed" and won't let me get in there. I can still use my phone, but can't access settings. I did a full hard reset on the phone to completely wipe it, yet the theme is still stuck to the phone, as well as the settings keep crashing.

What do i do?

Please help, thank you.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
Sounds like a layers issue with the theme...I would use root explorer or something and just delete the apk's in the vendor/overlay/ folder
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] qdroid:
Having an issue after installing a layer/theme (dominion) using the layout manager.

After rebooting, ES File explorer, Titanium, Swiftkeys gave me the "Unfortunately xyz has stopped" message for each of those apps.

I went ahead and removed the theme and also the layout manger after another reboot but the mentioned apps are still closing on start.

I also removed the /system/vendor/overlay directory afterwards to see if that helps but no such luck.

Curious if anyone has any other suggestions on trying to figure out why these apps are now closing on start. I also tried to uninstall/install Titanium but still having the same results.

Thanks

How do you get beta 3 I'm on 1 and now magpie won't work
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] qdroid:
magpie dev [MENTION=5379942]setiawanjimmy[/MENTION] has instructions here:

https://plus.google.com/+JimmySetiawan84/posts/gURtvPixwGa

Sign up and wait a few hours and your Layers manager will get auto upgraded to the Version 4.40b3

Once it's updated, you will be able to install Magpie theme 13

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

In case someone else hits this issue

It looks like a 2nd reboot did the trick.

If all else fails, you can just boot into recovery and remove the apk's in /system/vendor/overlays to start over.

The new magpie default toast is driving me crazy. It doesn't theme and its white while my whole system is dark. Is there a way to downgrade to the previous version besides a backup?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Mine is nicely themed to match my accent color(Blue), What Base Theme/Accent combination are you using?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] FuMMoD:
Base translucent. Colors wolf, medium blue grey and white accent.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
You got what you set, White accent= White toast messages, if you want it to be another color, set accent to that color.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] FuMMoD:
Before it was white text on a black toast. Now its white on white toast after the last update.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Again, you got what you set, The last update made toasts

white text on accent color of your choosing

. if you don't like white on white change your accent to another color or try another theme. Or Complain to the developer on Google plus and see if he listens to you.

I just bought the magpie layers but I can't scroll past screen shots doesn't give me option to apply overlays , anyone else having that problem?

Layer Manager Version and Busybox version?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] cracjackson:
Layers 4.3.3.1 and busy box 1.21.1

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

It says you need 4.4 but how you update to that according to the playstore I'm at the current update
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
You need to sign up to the layer gplus community here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/102261717366580091389

Under"about this community" There is a link to Layer Manager Beta, sign up to that and you will be able to join the Playstore Beta channel for Layer Manager(update your LM to 4.4.0b3)

Also you should get the latest busybox, I recommend busybox on rails but anyway you should be on BB 1.24.0/.1
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] cracjackson:
Thanks man , I'm browsing right now haven't found a link for it yet. You by chance wouldn't have the or apk you can send to me would you?

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] XavierD8188:
Thinking of giving this a try. Does this cause your phone to have hiccups and stutters? On my old Note 5, my phone wasn't as snappy whenever I added themes and I'd like to avoid that.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
None whatever. If you applied layers wrong you get bootloop or force close immediately(and there are straight forward procedures to debug those), but when you apply them right there is no hiccups or stutters at all. I recommend signing up for this community and read through the FAQs before trying: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communi...9/stream/b8a8c545-e143-429c-82bb-e3bd52de0a8a
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] MrDSL:
make sure you guys use busybox on rails..the other ones just cause issues
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] tcat007:
This busy box seems to work well also.

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] PhilPan:
I thought I remember seeing somewhere a flash file to fix white on white writing? Anyone knows where it is, or how to fix?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] tcat007:
White on white on what? Thremeable, zips sometimes fixes things, alternate framework can sometimes fix things. Or the developer is best bet.

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] XavierD8188:
Just to clarify, I need busy box to install layers? Even if I'm on Pure Nexus rom with Layers commits? Sorry for the noob question, don't wanna screw up my phone.. What instructions do I need to follow to get a layers theme please and thank you..
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Go to the G+ community and read the FAQ. You need Busybox for Layers to work on M.

As long as you read FAQs and follow the layer installation instructions, nothing will go wrong. Even in the case you mess up and go into a bootloop, getting out of it is simple and leave no permanent damage.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] XavierD8188:
I just inquired in the Rom I'm using and it turns out that most roms have busy box included. I'm on Pure Nexus, just installed and flashed a theme and I'm good to go.. I'll still check out the G+ FAQ's.. Thanks
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] TheLoverMan:
busybox works fine
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] TechBSwift:
Call me slow but how the hell do I set my background to pure black using magpie or any other layer? I keep getting that ugly dark material installed
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
In MagPie

TheColors FRAMEWORK Background should be set as Black

And under style specific overlays you should choose BaseDark

Works fine for me with Primary Black and Accent Blue, where as you seeing the dark material/material dark?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Steff08:
I'm trying to set up magpie theme I have base dark and framework primary and background black and accent blue my issue is that I get unreadable toast messages do you have any ideas why here's a pic of what I get

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Try hard reboot the phone(turn off then turn back on) and see if the problem persists, if so post your screenshot and your applied overlays screenshot(Layer Manager->uninstall overlay page) in the G+ community here : https://plus.google.com/u/0/communi...9/stream/3987d90b-3b3e-42ef-a82f-f26856113cd4

OK thank you very much for your reply I will do that

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] PhilPan:
I cannot, for the life me, get any Layers to apply, without having unreadable text somewhere. I have tried every app, and a ton of combinations, but always end up wit either the settings menu unreadable, heads up unreadable, or long press options unreadable.

All I want is a dark background with purple primary and green accents.

But I give up. Layers r not user friendly at all.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Saw your post on G+, you weren't applying anything in the Style specific overlay category other than Base Dark. In fact you should apply everything there(use the upper right corner switch) except the following

Framework for L/M Stock ROM/M Custom ROM Apply 1

Hangout Theme ready/Hangout: Apply 1( depending on if you have the theme ready apk flashed)

G+ Theme ready/G+ :the same as Hangout

Under Layer Manager/Settings-> Turn on "Hide uncessary overlays" to avoid applying themes for apps you don't have.

If you are Looking for a turn-key solution needing no reading/learning, Layer is not for you, got to read those FAQs and understand them.

Plus for what you need just get MagPie, apply everything I applied except with Black/Purple/Green as your Background/Primary/Accents.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] PhilPan:
So with this setup you have no unreadable text anywhere?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Ambient screen notifications are black on black because Stock ROM limitations, that's about it. Nothing debilitating enough for me to want to run the stock white UI though. There are a few hard coded apps/framework elements Layer can't work around, you either accept that or try to find a better theming option on stock ROM or live with WhiteUI.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] PhilPan:
Thanks for your help. I greatly appreciate it.

However, I must say you just proved my point; that there are indeed always issues with text with Layers.

Whereas, you initially dismissed my first post as saying "I gotta read FAQs, it's not a one stop shop". But in the end you are having the same issues as well.

Again thanks for the help; but I could of just used the assistance without the condescending remark.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Most of the Layer issues(like those discussed on this thread) are result of people not reading FAQs and following installation instructions. On the other hand there are a few minor hindrances due to hard-coded app/framework elements that Layer dev community is working very hard on and have made substantial progress since its conception early this year.

Things like Hangout used to be very hard to dark theme completely but now with theme-ready apks it is 100% possible. GNow Themes used to be difficult and have all sorts of bugs, but the devs have solved that without needing a theme-ready apk. If you don't want to deal with the few minor issues that are still worked on very hard by layer devs and themers that's totally fine. But to dismiss Layer as "user unfriendly" because you can't follow FAQs and don't understand what is causing the issues you are encountering is just attempting shifting blame from yourself.

Since you are looking for a flawless theme engine on stock Rom, leave and don't let the door hit you on the way out. Maybe you can find that Unicorn you are looking for somewhere else :p
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] TechBSwift:
You are the greatest thing since slice bread!!!!! Thanks bro that was driving me nuts.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] NovaSlim:
Ask that question on the Gplus community and you get that answer within the hour from 3-4 different people or maybe even the magpie dev himself(an active moderator). I highly recommend that community for debugging or just follow up on the latest layer/theme updates.

Hi guys,

After a rough mountain bike ride at the weekend where either the rattling of the trinity attached to my handlebars or the small amount of rain that managed to get in (or combination of both) my start button now needs quite a hard press to make it work.

I was wondering if taking it apart and having a look would do any good or whether i should send it back to orange or failing that it is insured. I just don't like to be apart from it for too long. :-)

Live Display: T-Kernel <7 - WORKS | T-Kernel 8...9 - NOT WORKING (resets on screen off) | T-Kernel 10 - WORKS

Xposed, by itself won't slow down your device, but some poorly coded modules might do it.

This should have been be asked on T-Kernel topic, anyway.
[Xperia SP Android Development] dev002:
Just to be clear...t kernel v 10 or v 10.1 ?:rolleyes:
[Xperia SP Android Development] varioventus:
Probably all 10.x versions. It only takes 5min to install/uninstall a kernel, try by yourself.
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
TK gapps modular pico....and T-K v10.2 and other questions have been answered by the other user :)

any questions for T-K please ask it in the q&a thread of T-K ;) .....and no, there is no issue for me on T-K at all :)

Hey, I have a problem so if anyone knows what is up with my screen please help.

So I recently started getting strange dots on screen, only on dark wallpaper or background.

If I do the screenshot, you can't see them but they can be seen only on phone. If it is turned off then nothig.

My phone hadn't fell down or been in contact with water.

I don't know what is the problem? Did anyone had the same experience?

If i try to change my screen, should I change the digitizer or?.., what are the prices, is it profitable?

Please help.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Ottomaani0:
Sounds like dead pixels. You should be eligible for warranty repair if you take your phone to a service center.

You cant see them in a screenshot because its a hardware problem.
[Huawei Ascend P7] 87insane:
Hi,

this Problem i have with all huawei phones. Its not a dead pixel. I think he mean not a dot ... Its a circle.

I give my p6 into repair and it was okay. But my p7 and my girlfriends p7mini have it too. I live with this issue. Repair time of my p6 was 6 weeks!

I think thats the result of music in the badroom ?

Hi,

I have a bunch of Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 phones that I will use simply as QR-scanners while being connected to the internet in order to send this information to a database etc.

My question is:

What is the best solution to lock all the apps that I dont want people (yes I alot of people will use them) to have access to? Or are simply unnecessary.

I've been searching and trying some different AppLocker apps but none which suits my needs, most of them are full of ads and very slow.
