I sued the system UI app u provided along with this pixel mod and after a reboot the pixel animation worked great until I needed to reboot my phone and when it booted there was no navbar or status bar and the only way to fix that issue was to restore my nandroid.. any suggestions to fix this so I can have the pixel animation without it removing my navbar?

Also at one point my phone screen was black and it tried factory resetting but I managed to stop it and boot to twrp and restore my backup

And I tried to reproduce this issue by just replacing the system UI app with the one u provided without the pixel mod except for the boot animation from the pixel mod and the same issue happened. Could it have been bc I have substratum theme applied? Or could it have been the boot animation or the pixel navbar animation?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
Not the Pixel animation. Probably the bootanimation. Android O doesn't like full swap outs like that. I should take that out.

That themer and systemui I provided him was not a base but a special request. It is not to be considered a base that you could flash other mods in my Aroma with.

According to mangusZen, the Pixel animation is flashed last. Flash the themer instead of replacing the systemui.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ArmStrongDickPunch:
Ok so just to clarify that it was probably the boot animation that was the issue? And so to get the pixel navbar animation I should use ur aroma installer rather then just replace the system UI? And if I do that will substratum themes still work??

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
The only way to know is try. What I meant was you should flash the themer zip from that post, and not use the systemui.apk. The Aroma installer bases might be more apt to break substratum.

Post 187.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mangusZen:
Actually I have a systemui of yours, center network speed, qs white text, and substratum is still working.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
Thanks for confirming. I knew you had Pixel mod working with it but not substratum.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ArmStrongDickPunch:
Another question for you, do I need to flash BusyBox from ur mod thread before flashing the theme.zip?? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
Yes, I would suggest it.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Edgio60:
When the app drawer is opened and the navbar buttons go dark, the ring around the home button remains white. Is that supposed to go dark as well? Not sure as I don't have a Pixel but I imagine it does.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Danilo Pantelić:
Yes that's a bug!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
Thanks for that very useful information. Save some people from useless searching and head scratching.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ArmStrongDickPunch:
Just a heads up just for testing purposes I tried replacing the system UI app again but without replacing the boot animation and it was the system UI app that caused the issue so now I'm going to install BusyBox zip and the themer.zip that u posted and see if the pixel navbar animation from the themer zip works better lol I'll report back after I test this.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
I don't know how you tried to install the system app but I've not been able to do a systemui swap yet without bootloop. That is why I use the themer zips.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ArmStrongDickPunch:
I just used the root explorer (ex: fx file explorer) and copied it to root/system/privapp/system UI/ and replaced the system UI and it would restart the system UI and the navbar animation would be working great but after a day of use it would have a weird glitch like last time I could get to my recent apps even when pressing the recent app button so I rebooted and then it would say Android is starting and boom no navbar or status bar and I ended up have to restore my nandroid backup, but today (I tried it last night to see if it was the system UI or the boot animation by as I stated above by only replacing the system UI this time and my camera today keep force closing so I rebooted and boom same issue as before no navbar or status bar haha so now I know it's the system UI I'm going to try the method u recommend if that makes sense lol

So now I'm going to flash the BusyBox zip from ur mod thread and the themer zip from this thread.

Update: just flashed BusyBox and the themer zip and all is well so far and just for good measure I rebooted my phone afterwards to see if I got the same issue but it didn't happen so all is working as intended so far I'll post if any issues occur, thanks for the help bud!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] eidl113:
im also having this bug. any solution?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
Hi would you by any chance show me how to get the round icons or point me to a tutorial of how to? That's the only thing I need, I don't need the the pixel accent because substratum does that & the nav animation is not happening right now, everything else I have except the icons. Thanks very much..
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] TheToto318:
Hi,

How to enable pixel blue accent ?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] snowrelyt:
You already have it. The settings icons are not supposed to be colored in.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
Substratum..
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mobileman88:
How did you get substratum setup? I understand there is a teeming engine already in O
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] snowrelyt:
Andromeda, if you're unrooted.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum if you're rooted go nuts if not follow instructions..
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] DLloyd:
I'm also struggling with applying themes, seeing error: 'Target application/overlay outdated or mismatched configuration selected'¿
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
Make sure all you're apps are up to date & that you are using a theme that is specifically for Oreo..

Anybody using this mod on September patch level? Constantly getting force closes of the pixel launcher.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] pickupman66:
Same here. Pixel launcher forces closes.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] wizardwiz:
I think that pixel launcher should be given permissions as stated in the first page.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bluetigger68:
Jup, did that right at the start, not working

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
Lemme build an update from that OTA. Probably a new Pixel Launcher Version. That should fix it
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] pickupman66:
OK. now it is working. I uninstalled Nova and then it is now working.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bluetigger68:
Hm, do you still have Nexus launcher installed? Bc that's the only additional launcher installed here?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] pickupman66:
well the google now launcher was installed and also nova installed. I believe those came down with my Google Restore. I clean installed Oreo this am via fastboot. wiped all data and everything because I was bloating a bit.

got root up and phone working. restore apps and then did this mod. pixel launcher would FC as described. I went to Now launcher but then wanted to go back to Nova. woudl not let me remove default on the now launcher so I just deleted nova. it gave me the option to choose pixel again so I did and it worked. flawless every since. that is ALL i did.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bluetigger68:
Removed Google now launcher and wiped cache and dalvik, now everything is just fine

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mobileman88:
I was reading in the OP of this thread that Substratum does not work with this mod?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] tropical cactus:
No problems with September 5.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ekowwillis:
You mean you flashed the current version of the mod over the September Oreo Security patch and all works fine?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
You are correct..
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] tropical cactus:
Yes, as well as the systemUI.apk for the outer ring.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mobileman88:
The systemui.apk needs to be flashed separately?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] tropical cactus:
Yes, the one posted earlier by the guy who got flamed by some guy who said it crapped up his phone. No such thing. I have a feeling notification dots might not be working. Haven't seen one all day. Already enabled.

Edit: happy to report dots showing now. Forgot to grant Pixel launcher notification access.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rohit25:
Any possibility if system UI tuner can also be added with navbar tuner in it.... Would love to have my navbar buttons brought closer...
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
If not try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner

Would prefer if it's backed in.. and not using an app...
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
So do I but that app does it all including pip for YouTube. Set & forget..
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
What all have you flashed so far?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ekowwillis:
waiting patiently for the update mate...;) no pressure though..:cool:
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rohit25:
Well I got your mod flashed.... Just that it lacks the sounds and wallpapers ... And bit tiny more stuff that is more a bug than a feature
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
This for September update. This should give you full systemui tuner and pixel animated navbar to augment the other pixel mods by krisyarno. I don't have a 6P so this has not been tested by me.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mangusZen:
I dirty flashed with fastboot september stock image and did again the all the process and after some try I succeded to have almost all working again, didn't touch the vendor partition because I had problems with that.

Now will try the themer above trying to break something :P

A .rar file? Are those even flashable through TWRP?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
Of course I did that. No, no they're not. Hit the wrong button. Thanks for the catch, I'm tired. Lemme fix that

I used the download link and my download ends i. .rar. should I change it to .zip? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Chouiyekh:
TWRP can't detect the .rar files, i will change it to .zip
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] treIII:
I changed it and it failed in recovery
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
It needs to be recompressed into a zip file I'll take care of it thank you
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
That's just because of how a rar Vilas compressed. It differs from a zip. Changing the file extension won't help. It's just a matter of rezipping it. I'm taking care of it right now
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Chouiyekh:
a big thanks to you [MENTION=7812176]krisyarno[/MENTION] after recompressing the file to .zip and install it via TWRP, i got the great result,everything works fine
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
Got it fixed! Thanks for catching that!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
I fixed it if you wanted to flash this

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545595808
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] jcsww:
No prob. I use WinRAR most of the time but I have never seen RAR files for use in TWRP so I figured I'd make sure.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Chouiyekh:
damn ! the previous problem with circle icons on some apps like "Google Translate" & "Inbox" & "eBay" IS BACK !!!

@krisyarno

Would you know how to enable always on display? I've read you just have to change the value from false to true but I have no idea where the commit is.

https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-google-pixel-2-always-on-ambient-display/
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
I've been looking furiously for it. Whether or not it's available currently or needs to be built in from AOSP, I'm not sure. I saw the same and I've been looking for it non stop. Hopefully it's possible. There's been an option for Burn In protection since the beginning of the O-Previews. So hopefully that's a good sign
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] tropical cactus:
I've tried most of the always on display apps from play but they're nothing more than screen overlays and your phone is still on. Battery drain is incredible as well.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mobileman88:
Notification dots does work for me but I am using Nova launcher, not sure if it is launcher dependent.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
Any chance of getting the version without the accent that doesn't brake substratum??
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Chouiyekh:
reminder, about the round icons
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] jeffreymcclain:
Other icon shapes?

I see your instructions specifically state to choose the round icon option. I was just wondering if the any of the other shapes are supported, or if there are any plans to add support for them in the future.

Not trying to be pushy, your mod is already great as it is!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
Good question. All shapes are supported including the stock Nexus icon shape. Adding the round Icon mod into the Pixel Launcher was new for this version and I wanted to make sure users enabled it instead of thinking the round icons no longer worked. That's why I specifically stated that! All other icon shapes are supported though
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
Thank you, got it written down to work on that
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
So if I just install the pixel launcher from your mod the round icons are enabled??
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
Theoretically yes. I haven't specifically tested that. But I get round icons without anything else modified that typically allows round icons. So it should work that way. The launcher alone will allow round icons
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
I have the launcher from V1 already installed but no round icons, I'll try this one & report back..
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
As of V1, I had implemented Round Icons through the framework. As of V2 and V3, I moved it to the launcher. When you test, make sure to go in and select the icon shape "Round"
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
It worked, thank you so much!!!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
Just out of curiosity whats the problem with them?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] eidl113:
ebay and Google translate should be round.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
I see, I'm thinking xda labs should be also, it was on N pixel mod..

Edit: I think the new way of applying round icons is using adaptive icons & eBay, translate, xda labs etc don't use the adaptive icons yet?..
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] eidl113:
I'm on v1 and after installing latest app versions from apkmirror it gets round again so try this.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
All up to date..
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] iosonofrancesco:
and also Chrome has rounded icon, with the V3 it's inside a white circle.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] treIII:
It's fixed. Do u know how to get the pixels ringtones and notification sounds? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
You can try flashing this.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] treIII:
Yes this worked and thank you
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mangusZen:
But the questione is, why substratum breaks with a tweaked framework_res.apk?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 6P utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
Has anyone tried applying the tweaks via a vrthemer instead of replacing the whole framework-res.apk?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mangusZen:
You should talk to krisyarno :D

Just to share my experience

I tried a clean flash of

- stock september image

- modified by me superxe pack (excluded kernel and old image)

- krisyarno mod v3

So only stuff affecting system partition, did a format of data including sdcard

Had straight away crash of play services at start when creating the account.

I solved the crash installing manually from apkmirror last versions of playservices, playstore and android webview.

That was silly, dont know what broke the stock image, if some superxe modification or the pixel mod itself, I know superxe changes some strings in build.prop.

Anyway, from there all was fine but with substratum broken. I restored the stock framework_res and compiled overlays.

Now I can dirty flash pixel mod again or yours that doesn't break substratum.

One thing to notice, after restore stock framework didn't had night light, it appeared after some time and its still here..doh!

Happy modding and many thanks for your work guys
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] eidl113:
any idea someone? it drives my ocd crazy.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mangusZen:
Also [MENTION=5346465]Tulsadiver[/MENTION], your mod trigger the ota notification even if Im updated to september.

It seems it can detect your modification and call for ota.

Krisyarno mod alone don't do that probably because the base was updated with september stuff
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
That last themer I put out there you said you were going to try and break was September update I believe.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Chouiyekh:
after installing the V3 i got round icons only for "Inbox" app, not for "ebay" and "translate" apps, the first version of your mod, it changes the icons of those apps but this is not !

can this be helpful ? https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/guide-enable-pixel-launcher-round-icon-t3536267
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Chouiyekh:
i tried something else :

( using your mod V3 ) first i took my own device framework-res.apk, from \Root\System\framework\

and decompile it using apktool and change this line from false to true "<bool name="config_useRoundIcon">true</bool>" in bools.xml that located at \framework-res\res\values\bools.xml and finally compile my framework-res.apk. when i replace the old with new one via root explorer my phone get automatically reboot (it's normal as i know) but the phone doesn't complete the boot and reboot again and again by itself.

now i tried the second solution, before doing the second try, i started from zero, i reinstall boot.img, system.img and vendor.img via ADB fastboot then install supersu and the 1st version of your mod via TWRP, and finally i got what i'm looking for.

this experiment may give you some ideas
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
[MENTION=7812176]krisyarno[/MENTION], the method you are looking for is in the framework.jar AmbientDisplayConfiguration.smali located in smali_classes2/com/Android/internal/hardware folder. I changed the coding from 0x0 to 0x1 to make it true but it still isn't working. I did manage to get it to show up in the systemui Tuner but switching it to "on" doesn't work. I had to edit the TunerFragment.smali in the SystemUI.apk to get it to show. Enclosed is the edited framework.jar and SystemUI. Let me know if you have any ideas.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Inenting:
How do I get the round icons? I'm on V3 with official android 8
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] tropical cactus:
Long press on home screen, go into settings and change icons is in there.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rohit25:
Thanks for the trouble of getting it done for a single person.... Could you please have a tutorial going on how the same was done... Would prefer not troubling you next time...

Thanks again mate
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
Not that much trouble being I have an Aroma installer on here anyway but this is a smali edit so you would need to deodex your systemui each time. The animated pixel navbar already has a tutorial made for it.

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] blior32017:
Hi

do i need root on my phone to get this mod work ?

thnx
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Pipiou211:
The straightforward answer is yes, we usually **** our phones (unlock bootloader, install a custom kernel and custom rooted ROM) ... BUT recovery is running before Android, so you might not need root, just custom recovery, considering that custom recovery (TWRP in my case) actually have administration previligies same as root previligies.

1. Correct me if I am wrong, I would like to know about what I just described.

2. Root your phone! [MENTION=3636258]blior32017[/MENTION]

--

My issue: I successfully installed v3 mod and blue accent is not there.

* Round icons (wipe data on Pixel Launcher not required!!) and night mode are both enabled tho. (Cool, I love night mode is actually worths while reading Manga)

* Pixel audio is also installed I guess.

* On screen buttons (Back/Home blabla)

Any ideas?

Have fun,

George!

Just instaled the 019 update that google throw at us by OTA. No problem in flashing a stock recovery for the process but now after flashing TWRP and Magisk other problem showed up. The mod is working fine, icons, nav bar and animations. But the pixel launcher just keep closing. I am using the old good Google now launcher. Any ideas of what to do?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mobileman88:
You got the Ota installed with stock recovery while your bootloader is unlocked and rooted?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bb709394:
I am inferring you updated from Nougat to Oreo? If yes, then you will need to do a clean flash.

I had the same issue you are describing -- never know what kind of crud is left in userdata that is causing the problem. A clean flash fixed the problem for me.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] wizardwiz:
I believe you need to be rooted. Why? since the framework apk and systemui apk need to be installed as system apps.

So I would reckon that although you would have the ability to flash this mod using TWRP, it won't have the permissions to write it.

You can do two things

1. root your device and then temporary boot to TWRP to install the mod

2. after the installation of the mod uninstall root.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Queentus:
Could you plz share some tutorials on how to impelement round icons through framework? The latest version of your mod (V3) is not so perfect for my own taste. e.g. Even if you change the icon shape in launcher, the app icons in recents are still square and it's killing me.

So I wanna use apktool and make a mod myself (round icon is all I want).

Thx.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Chouiyekh:
That's what i was fight for, just read what i wrote here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73808505&postcount=298 you may get some ideas, and if you need more, let me know
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Queentus:
thanks. but as far as I know, OP once mentioned that changing the line from false to true "<bool name="config_useRoundIcon">true</bool>" won't apply on Oreo.

As for your second solution, I notice that you flashed the 1st version of OP's mod, will it cause unstablilities on latest build (September)?
