Hey markbencze,

one quick question, will it be possible, that your plans with the navbar will work also like your themes with the LG G5 ?

Best regards

mkpcxxl
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well there is root but data and cell signalbare borked so it's not a good idea to try.

Let me know if and how my themes work on the tablet.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Not sure just yet
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mkpcxxl:
Would be nice if there will be a possibility and apart of this I like your themes very much.

Regards

mkpcxxl
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Thr initial issue i foresee is that let's say i get it working and add it to a theme. This would only work for rooted users and for non rooted users thr theme in general won't likely even load. So I don't think it's a good system to roll with. But fir testing purposes it will be fine. Really a substratum theme would probably be best but it's a bit more involved to make one so for now I'm taking the path of least resistance. I may even just make some flahable systemui zips for people too.

Idk if the old vrtheme system still works but if it does that would allow a universal zip to work.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mkpcxxl:
Root: No Problem for me and my H850.

Will wait what happens, if it works: nice, if not also nice. :)

Best regards

Little late to the party, but I can test out root themes too. Hopefully, the H815 root finds a way around losing cellular, but until then, let's turn our phones into guinea pigs!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Yeah sure once I start on it. I do have a theory about rooting to not lose signal and data. Based on what I read the issue is due to the debug bootloader. So has anyone tried the dirty santa method and if so does it wipe your phone during the process? If it doesn't then my theory probably will work. However I'm not willing to test it out because although we can do full restore I just don't wanna be the one to boldly go where no one has gone before
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Does Dirty Santa need to use Dirty CoW to unlock the bootloader? If it does, it shouldn't wipe data, unless it actually runs the oem unlock command.

Seems like there isn't too much interest in that variant. I wonder if peope just went for the US996 instead. Even GSMArena doesn't have anything for it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I have no clue. Hoping one of our att vzw or sprint users can chime in on whether it wipes or not.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZDeuce2:
They took the damn home theme app out... Gonna try later to pull it from my phone and push it to the tablet... But at the moment I'm beyond pissed...
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
It's there I'm sure. Try using a shortcut maker app. I know the rooted verizon stock roms are missing the theme section in settings so you have to use a third party shortcut. If you use Nova launcher you can assign an activity.

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

Yes it wipes the phone completely.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well there goes my theory then. Unless we can use an alternative to systemless root (I have to look into that). Basically my theory is this. Since it's the bootloader causing the issue we need to root and do the whole process and then flash back to the stock bootloader in order to get the phone functional. However you cannot have stock bootloader with twrp so we would not have a recovery which really isn't such a big deal since there would likely be a way to use flashfire to do things. But since you say dirty santa wipes data that would also I believe wipe our root and supersu when flashing back to the stock bootloader. where as if I can use a different super user app like the open source one by koush it would be flashed to system and thus after flashing back to stock bootloader root would/should survive the process. At least that's my theory on having a functional device after rooting.

As for your rooted vzw rom the guy who's tinkering with it should decompile the theme apk and change the manifest value to say "launcher" instead of "default". That will activate the app icon shortcut. LG didn't think to do that and instead just left it in settings for whatever reason. I really wish they had a shortcut.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZDeuce2:
It's in there, but it won't open? Not sure what else to try...
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
did you try making shortcuts to access it? Seems odd they removed it. Based on the way themes are setup it should support all dpi including tabs.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZDeuce2:
Yeah, only way to get to it... But when you open the shortcut, it just opens a tiny box that says LG home theme
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
seems odd. can you post a screenie?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZDeuce2:


---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

Yep, was already on it... Lol
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
That's the wrong theme apk. Look for one that looks like the pallet icon. That's the old optimus theme

com.lge.lgworldprovider or com.lge.themesquare
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZDeuce2:
Okay... I'll see if I can find that one...

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

This one... That's as far as I can go?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Nope thats not it. You want this one if It's there
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZDeuce2:
Not on the tablet... Errrrrrrrgg.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
I can assure you the theme app is in the Verizon ROM. I've personally assigned an activity in nova for it when I was on the NotSoStock vs995 ROM.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
They're talking about an LG tablet I think.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well I'm gonna try and get my banners done for my two new themes and get them finished shortly.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Anyone check out post 7 or 8 yet? Hope you guys dig them and give it a whirl! I've had a ridiculous amount of requests for these particular color pallets which I'm sure will be quite familiar for many of you. Introducing the #Flow Series
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
looks great. indigo isn't up yet though
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragion:
"Wait a second...this is not the ling you're looking for..."

I'm sure you meant "LINK"...right? ;)

Looks good...any idea when they will be live?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
so indigo is cool mark, but personally, I'm not feeling the pink. a little too much especially being the colors of the icons in the drop down bar. the indigo color itself and icons look great though, but maybe someday you'll do that color with a different accent.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZDeuce2:
I'm talking about the v521 gpad tablets... They just got Nougat updates, and are compatible with the themes now, but lg or t-mobile removed the theme apk, so there is no way to switch themes... The theme engine is still in place because my kids' tablet it stock, and mine still has the pre-update theme I had on it... Just no way to change it now...
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
OH! Sorry, I'm stupid :p
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZDeuce2:
No, no problem, I was just all excited about the possibility of putting these themes on my tab, and they took the theme app... Bastids.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
Have had my gpad f8 from Tmo for almost two years and it has never received an update. My sons gpad 7inch from att got lollipop last year and nothing since..
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] EROMITLAB:
Can someone please post what the notification panel looks like? Please send thank you,
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Like this?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Here's flow

And Indigo Flow
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZDeuce2:
Yeah, surprised me, I never thought tablets would get the update before a lot of phones...
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Is Indigo Flow magenta?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
No it's Indigo which is more of a purple color
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Yeah, but it's more like this

http://www.colorhexa.com/4b0082

Magenta:

http://www.colorhexa.com/ff00ff
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Am I looking at them backwards?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Maybe!

The primary in indigo flow is 3f51b5

Primary dark is 303f9f

Accent is ff4081
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
So your first screenshot is Indigo?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
No. The first one is flow with the blue primary colors in the quicksettings panel. The second is indigo with the pink accent color.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Ahhhh.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nolanpen:
Quick Memo widget

Theme: Indigo Flow

Quick Memo is so transparent.

Is this how it was themed?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Interesting find. I was trying to get transparency on the main weather widget. Looks like it fully affects that widget but not fully on the weather. I'll take a peak at that later on
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dragion:
Was fooled...thought the "FLOW" themes weren't live yet and didn't realize it by the supplied link. :silly:

Indigo Flow added...will wait a bit on adding "Flow" to my collection at this moment.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
You just reminded me to edit both posts! I had forgotten! Thanks
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fclifton:
I am using Dark Material and I think I am seeing the same thing. In app 3C Toolbox Pro, in the Battery Manager view, when I open the three dot menu the menu background is completely transparent. I can get you a screenshot if you would like.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Not sure what widget you're talking about
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
3C Toolbox is an Android management app. The three dot menu (what used to be a hamburger menu) in the top right, when pressed, brings up a context menu, but without a background. The text overlaps with what's below and it's hard to read.

But I don't think that could really be your theme, could it? Context menus aren't globally themed, and the app itself certainly isn't.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
If it is not a system app there is nothing i can do. I put transparency on every themes widget as per a crap ton of requests. The exception was remix light.

The others have about 75% transparency and both flow and indigo flow are virtually fully transparent.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Just tried that appbusing stock theme and the same transparency occurs so it is not theme related. Didn't you test that before you posted?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
That's what I figured. I was just explaining what they meant.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
no problem. thanks man. Seems they don't know how to code their own app properly lol!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
Meh, it's a useful app. I was getting crazy CPU usage on a custom Stock ROM, and I was able to use it to find a rogue process and kill it. Fluidity and style aren't that dev's strong suit, but the task manager is nice.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
anyone know why downloading and installing these themes is so taxing on the phone? like, whenever I download or update a theme, it slows my phone down so much and I'm not even running that theme. it's nuts.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
its because the overlay is being compiled in the device at that time. It happens sometimes and usually after 30 seconds or so it should be fine. Im sure LG will Update it in the future to be a bit smoother of a process but this is a valid question. I may actually make a faq page when i get a chance
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Nice themes mate, I use your dark material personally. I'm trying to find what pngs to replace to swap out navbar buttons. Have you found them yet? The obvious ones in systemui don't do much

--->
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Can't be done via themes. Only by substratum or making a flashable zip
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
I thought I'd found the pngs though when I replace them nothing happens, even after a data wipe. I'll keep searching

--->
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Explain how exactly you're going about this? Although this is not having anything to do with my themes I'm curious what you're making or trying to make
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Artimis:
Are you sure about this? I believe LGSystemUI can be overridden and the nav buttons are defined as Vector graphics in the XML files under /res/drawable in that apk

I have been poking around with trying to override these with little success but I'm just hacking at it.......got it working on KitKat back in the day and things have changed a bit since then ;)

I know that on Lollipop, people updated the XML to point to pngs instead of using the Vector drawable but I don't know if that works anymore with Nougat.

Was hoping someone with your skill set would take a stab at it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
No, subs can't theme the nav buttons. I asked Char G about this. So I unrooted since it's not needed .
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I know exactly where they are. I was looking at thrm a week or so ago for another project i was tinkering with. Themes can't touch them because LG has it disabled as an option to theme.

Char is wrong about it. The issue with it not working on substratum is because the lg systemui has things named differently so no theme out there presently has officially added lg support.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jayochs:
thanks!! makes sense.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Ok so my plan now is to review some of my current themes and do a few touch ups here and there and fix any issues that need addressing.

Anything you guys are wanting to see still that you haven't seen yet?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Artimis:
Got it. Thanks for confirming. I guess I will abandon that approach then and either directly decompile, update, and repackage the LGSystemUI apk or create a zipthemer theme to take care of it for me (assuming that still works on nougat).

It's a shame LG took a step back with this.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fclifton:
No, sorry! I just started using your theme and then saw the post about transparency and that menu had always worked before and ... :o I should have tried stock first.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
no need to worry man! I'm pretty laid back so all good!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Oh and I may have figured out a way to do a new material style keyboard like what you would get on stock aosp. Is that something of interest for anyone? If so i can post screens later to see what you guys think. I'm always looking to improve stuff for you guys and gals! Your feedback is always very valuable.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KittyTeapots:
Awesome!!! Thank you for the pink theme ?!!!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Which one are you using? Flow or indigo flow?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] KittyTeapots:
Lol I bought both! Leaning toward the indigo because of the pink toggles but love the hints of pink in flow lol
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Awesome glad you dig them. I'm pretty happy with them too. A conpletely different style on both and i also really dig the pink
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] fclifton:
I would like to see what that would look like.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Skripka:
On Dark LG and I think aosp... On the alarm clock screen when the alarm is sounding, you get a big snooze and a big button to shut off the alarm.

Problem for me is both are grayish, and once I canceled my alarm instead of snoozing. Maybe make the cancel button red? Pretty please ☺️
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Swizzle82:
For me, only the things I've already mentioned to you.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BROKEN1981:
Superman theme, Star trek theme and Voltron, GI Joe, thunder cats.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] yobert33:
Since you're asking, I would like to see a green version of remix light. Same theme only replace all the blue accents with green. Like maybe a darker lime green....Or kiwi

Oooh.. here's an idea, how about a kiwi/watermelon theme.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Excellent and completely reasonable request
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Haven't forgotten
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
See with those we have to be very careful. I see another guy ported a samsung theme over which i will not do since for one I highly doubt marvel or dc gave permission to do and honestly even if they gave me permission to do I just don't like using other people's work and then trying to profit on. Also there is a strong likelihood that theme will get removed by google for copyright infringement.

Funny because an old icon pack of mine called purple glass chrome got flagged for this last week due to a screenshot i had in the store listing with of all things the decepticon logo on it! I removed the preview pic and they then allowed it

I do like the man of steel idea and believe i may be able to work with that but again it's a dangerous territory because if google flags an app and you guy all get it and then say do a factory wipe, you then get screwed and won't be able to get it again so for that reason i am very cautious of what I will and won't make to protect myself and also to not screw you guys over in the name of trying to make a quick buck.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Good idea. I can play around with that. I haven't done green yet
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lingo2012:
superman would be awesome
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Sorry I haven't responded. But I have managed to swap out the nav buttons by changing the sysbar.xmls to redirect to pngs inside LGSystemUI.apk . If you're interested I can send you one of the xmls.

Edit.. also I'm just including nav button options in my rom

--->
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Nah no need man. I'm more of a vector guy anyway and would just make vectors if i was editing them. Also not sure if you're aware but with things like this (vectors) you often don't need to redirect via xml. You can normally replace the xml for a png and vice versa. Just can't have both coexisting at the same time.

Plus I'm not rooted anyway so I'm gonna have to get my non root required technique to work when i have time.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Oh really? Good to know, so I can basically remove those xmls. They are labeled the same as existing pngs. Thanks!

Edit.. I do have a question though, it seems when the navbar isn't transparent it monochromes any colored pngs. Do you know where I can stay looking to change this behaviour?

--->
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Yes sir. The swap a drawable for a drawable is one of my old cm tricks..

I'm not 100% certain im understanding you but are you talking about forcing the navbar icons to not be dynamic?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Na, what I mean is, there are two states that the navbar goes into, one is transparent background which is present on the home screen and when the keyboard is active. And also another state that has a black background, this happens when any other app is open.. when it's in this state, it seems to turn any colored navbar buttons black and white.

--->
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Ah ok so you're talking about tint. That's not a surprise at all given material design is all about tint.

So I'm not looking at the apk right now but personally do not recommend removing it or going with colored icons given what you will run into are random 3rd party apps that happen to tint their actual navbars the same color as you're wanting to color you icons. Same rule applies to status bar icons now. I mean you can still do it but it's not a wise idea

Anyway i would assume it's either in colors or styles possibly [MENTION=743812]theme[/MENTION].material or [MENTION=743812]theme[/MENTION].material.light

I'd have to look to be certain but I'd be checking those two xmls first.

If it's not there fire up android device monitor in studio and see if it points you to it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Great, thanks for your help

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] EROMITLAB:
There's already a light and dark green theme that I haven't bought because the green is more of a darker type green. Green is my favorite color and I'd be all over something green but a bit more of a Google play light green lighter more vivid. View attachment 4010195

Much like the green in this icon.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well we will see what i can do. No promises. Thise bright neon colors are tricky to work with. Often outside in the sun there tends to be a lit of readability issues.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
I'd be OK with some readability issues if I could be using a rich green theme. I'd like dark and green, but I know that'd end up looking weird.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I couldn't possibly intentionally put something out that has known readability issues. That doesn't mean I can't be creative and find something that works.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zacharee1:
I await with baited breath :p

It'd be amazing if you somehow manage a dark theme that incorporates green, but I know how awkwardly gray and green go together. Black and green, though... But that's not really your style, is it?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well I will play around with some ideas and see what happens. I'm not against using pure black, it just hasn't been needed for what I've been doing lately. The time will come for it though!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
So does anyone here remember a guy who made cm themes back in the day named Darryl Dillon? He's a good friend of mine and we actually had quite similar styles back in the pre-material era. He had a killer theme called "The Battered" (among many) and I had one called (CYANide). Anyway, him and I were speaking recently and he was absolutely shocked that I had yet to do a cyan theme and wanted me to do a tribute to Battered so to speak. So I may just do that next because I really do love cyan as a color and think I can do it some justice. In all likelihood it will be far from being material but nonetheless should still be a killer theme. So for anyone familiar with his stuff (if any at all) what are your thoughts?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] imucarmen:
I don't know who you speak of but I do like cyan based themes. Matter of fact, I just got done with my latest Zooper widget using mostly cyan in conjunction with your AOSP dark theme. It's beautiful ?
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mcobasjr41:
I remember both those themes. Also another dev that used to put out great themes was Sonny Skelhon or at least I think that's what his name was.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Yeah darryl was awesome. We'll see what i can come up with to do the battered tribute. That is if i even can do it justice!

I'm actually sitting on about 4 or 5 themes right now that i haven't released. Sometimes i make something and it just doesn't work out right or isnt good enough to make the cut. Often i try to tinker with them until I find something that jives or scrap them altogether.

I have one that once I can get it right is gonna be absolutely stunning. But it is a bit down the road right now.
