Layers do NOT work on ROMs with the CM theme engine
Make a nandroid backup in TWRP recovery before making any modifications so you can restore it if you run into issues.
It's assumed in this community that users understand the basics of root and how to recover their devices if they run into problems, we're not responsible for anything you do.s​​​​​​​

LAYERS ON STOCK NEXUS AOSP MM
1. Install TWRP, make a backup.
2. Root
3. Uninstall some Google apps from the system partition to make room on the system partition for Layers. (Can be reinstalled from play store)
The system partition is different from the userdata partition so while you may have 40gb free on a 64gb device, it doesn't matter, it's a different partition. Uninstall them via a root file manager at system/app or use titanium backup or another system app removal app.
4. Install BusyBox
MUST BE INSTALLED TO /SYSTEM/XBIN
5. Install Layers Manager

HOW TO MANUALLY REMOVE LAYERS
Use a root File Manager Navigate to system/ vendor/ overlays and delete the layers in the overlays folder.
In TWRP In case of bootloop, go to Mounts in TWRP & check System then go to the Advanced tab & use the File Manager to delete Layers from system/vendor/overlays.
For the 6p, 5x & N9 users, check Vendor in Mounts, then go to /vendor/overlays as the overlays folder is not in /system on those devices.

APP OR THEME STOPS WORKING AFTER UPDATING THE APP
Uninstall the affected app layer

PLAY STORE ERROR 504/ 505
The fix is the same for both errors, uninstall and reinstall the Manager or theme.
Error 504 means the app was installed by the user via the play store, uninstall and reinstall.
Error 505 means the app is preinstalled as a system app and must be uninstalled via a root file manager at system / priv-app/ , or with titanium backup or another system app removal app.

CHANGING ICONS
Icon support was added & temporarily removed in beta, use a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex for now.

CHANGING FONT WITH LAYERS
Layers doesn't officially support font yet, use alternative methods of your choice such as font apps or twrp flashable zips for now. [URL="http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827"]http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t3219827[/URL]

WHAT THEMES SHOULD I USE?

Lollipop themes on Lollipop.

DO LAYERS WORK ON MY DEVICE?
Layers are officially supported on Layers compatible Lollipop custom ROMs with all Layers commits. Stock AOSP and custom layers compatible Marshmallow ROMs are also supported.
It does NOT work with CMTE ROMs. [URL="https://plus.google.com/+CharG/posts/1rzbgo59hWh"]https://plus.google.com/+CharG/posts/1rzbgo59hWh[/URL]
Some users have had some success theming unsupported devices such as the LG G4 and Touchwiz LP devices but they are not officially supported so we won't be able to provide assistance for users with those devices.
