I love the effort in overlays....

Coming from a developmenter point of view, I wish there was a seperate section for Snapdragon/Exynos users (I know that there will be an Exynos/Snapdragon development thread eventually (Unified) thread. I feel like I am weeding through Exynos threads right now. Testing navbar UI overlay, status bar overlay, notification overlay, and system UI tweaks (Non-root) does not work. Most of the nav bar apps work though....if not all. Wishing I could combine smaller nav with these themes. Also, I'm a long time Android user and would like to replace the task button with the menu/option button. Will continue testing for note 8 (sm-g950u). Mainly looking for an AMOLED friendly theme.

Wow there are alot of steps to get this to work for more than 10 minutes.. fn samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] suhasonline20:
Took me 3 minutes to install and I'd say the best theme so far :) +XP for the creator :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zxyzx:
Theme missing

Hi guys, sorry i'm new to this... installed the base Coffee.apk, it looks awesome btw, but decided to change the nav bar and icon. Deleted Coffee theme from Samsung theme store, edited the APK and reinstalled successfully. But somehow theme is not showing up in the Samsung theme store or the Apps list. Reinstalled, rebooted a few more times to no avail. APK editor changing app name and install location did not help. I suspect package has not been fully removed? Question, after editing APK do we install theme directly from APK Editor? This is on a Non-rooted Note 8. Many thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crayonyes:
try this

Q: After install this theme it doesn't show in samsung Theme store ?

A: try to install with theme store opened (open theme store, press home, install this, open theme store again from settings ~ don't use recent apps)

Yes, you can install from apkeditor, or from file explorer.

set default theme, delete coffee theme, press home, install new Coffee, open theme store from settings.

it always show up
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] zxyzx:
Thanks crayonyes. It worked! After what you said, I realised it probably has something to do with the Tasker profiles and Task settings. Disabled Tasker rebooted phone, set Default theme, rebooted again. Open theme store, installed theme and it finally appeared. Should have thought of this earlier. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
Crayonyes,

I see over in he S8 themes you did some center clock with date. This has made me want to jump on this full steam.

If you remember, you made the Quicksettings for me, purple and green. Currently my status bar is green as well. Can the color of the status bar icons be modified in your center clock mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crayonyes:
It should work with colors. You can try it as subs

And remove it if it doesn't
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
This is the most frustrating thing I have ever tried to do. I just cannot get it to cooperation.

So I replaced the Purple Green file you gave me with ApKeditor. Once that file saves, it saves as gen.signed.apk.

Do I install that file? Everytime I do, my theme reverts to original. Then I go in to reapply Coffee. And my Quixktilea are just the normal blue that I hate.

I just can't wrap my head around what I am doing wrong here
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] defeedme:
what instructions did you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] CStadler:
Does this theme work on S8 and Note8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] suhasonline20:
Used the same instructions as in the first post. download the elements you want, install APK editor, replace the elements you want to change, save the APK and install it using file browser. but to stop the theme from reverting, search for an app called Themekiller on play store. If you have the SEAP development licence key then awesome or the application tells you how to get one after registering in SEAP and Voila...theme is installed without it being replaced every 10 minutes.

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crayonyes:
Attach files you want to mix.

Also are u using tasker ? If yes try turn off tasker profiles before apply theme.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kamaal:
Hi all!

Maybe it's me, but when i blend coffee.theme.common.apk from the 'expresso' variant nothing change in the statusbar color.

I can blend other APK (e.g. pixel navbar), but no luck for the Expresso nuances...

Someone did it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crayonyes:
The changes is on quicksetting / notification panel.

Try this after apply theme:

Change display resolution

ie. From Fhd to Qhd .. apply.. change back.. apply.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kamaal:
Thanks for the response... I know that changes should be there, but it doesn't happens, even after rebooting or changing resolution, as I did.

You are using that blend of coffee? If yes, just to try something different, can you send me your ready APK?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crayonyes:
Here i've just downloaded from post 1 and mixed them espresso and all is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kamaal:
Thanks, this works...

I'll investigate on what's wrong here and I'll report my findings...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] usn.mustanger:
I successfully blended and installed this theme with the 75% clear quick tiles, but the transparency isn't sticking. It reverts to dark but non-transparent quick settings.

And yes, I am using Theme killer to keep the theme applied.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
Did you ever find out what you were doing wrong?

Anyone can let me know if Tasker is still needed to get the theme to stick? I was considering giving this a try again.

Crayones... Is there anyway you can help me out like you did Kamall, and blend what I am looking for so I can see if it works and sticks.

I'm looking for the purple and green...with center clock with a date on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kamaal:
Nope. Just doing what described in op leads me to same results, so I quitted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
That's exactly what was happening to me, so I quit to. But since my phone had to hard reset I was going to give it a another go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crayonyes:
you need to reapply theme after every reboot.

Tasker is only to make the process simple ... bk disabler alone or theme service killer (subs) is fine if you don't wanna use tasker.

Yes i can mix that up for you, but I don't think the green purple quicksetting apk I made for you has colored statusbar, does it ?

if you can attach the overlay apk u're using that'll be great. Thx

u made sure the apk file name is the same with one you're replacing right ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
Crayones thanks.....

These are are the overlays I am using. Enubix made them for me awhile ago.

Also, if you can add the date in the clock it would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crayonyes:
here you go mate ..

Coffee-green-purple.apk is the samsung theme apk

Coffee-subs-clockdate.apk is the subs apk, select statusbar under systemui and install as substratum.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
Thank you. I greatly appreciate it.

I'm going to give it a go later today. And I will keep you posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
No dice man. For the life of me, this just does not work for me.

I did what you said for the substratum theme APK, and I get "the app must be corrupt. See attached.

I applied the theme...rebooted....and the only thing different is my background.... Nothing else. Qt still blue....and status bar white. See attached.

I have no idea what i could be doing wrong.. It's really really frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] defeedme:
I accidentally installed :Clear 25% of the THEME ASSET APK..

I accidentally installed :Clear 25% of the THEME ASSET APK..

HOW DO I UNINSTALL IT.. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ANYWHERE AND NOW I SUSPECT THERE ARE FRAGMEMTS IN UNKNOWN LOCATIONS SLOWING DOWN MY FONE.

Why the system even allows this is frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crayonyes:
How about delete the theme and just install the subs

It wont have that effect of slowing down phone

Install and delete coffee.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PhilPan:
So are you saying the theme you made won't work?

I got the sub to install... But now I have a white clock...does the theme make it green
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crayonyes:
now install the theme and apply. don't reboot.

just do this:

go to settings > display > change resolution and back (eg. from Qhd to Fhd, apply, switch back to Qhd, apply )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pbedard:
Its a free trial
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] crayonyes:
yes it is. make it stick with bk package disabler or subs theme service killer or root way.
[Android General] melmarPH:
Dear All,

A lot of people noticed that for some reason our belove MI A1 doesn't have Google Dialer and Google Contacts pre installed in it and that AOSP versions are the one being used.. So, upon searching, I found out a google dialer here that we can install as a normal apk and doesn't require root.

Details: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-google-dialer-t3557412

As per Google Contacts, it can be downloaded thru Play Store. Give it a try and let me know what you think. ?
[Android General] Leong428:
You're awesome for sharing this. Thank you!

Works well on my Mi A1
[Android General] melmarPH:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
There is no root included in this build. You can install a third-party root, but I didn't look into that deeply - there are much of other stuff work on. As stated in OP, this build is a way early, mainly purposed for developers and those who want to help with this project.

Telephony: squash-reset to 7.1.2 **

* Note: an installation now will require you to use sdcard repartition layout, as the ROM is too huge to fit on non-reparted /system partition.

After a clean installation, 702M of space is occupied on /system partition.

Also note that only clean installation is possible if you are upgrading from previous builds.

** this fixed RIL, but I would consider this rather as a huge hack, it definitely will need to be revised in the future.

All of the telephony code currently is built from 7.1.2 sources, so consider this build still as a heavily experimental.

I haven't tested RIL that much, all I can say so far is that the SIM is being detected, the signal strength is showed and USSD commands works. Everything else wasn't yet tested.

11.12.2017 - build #4

Fixed SMS receive

Fixed a video playback with HW / HW+ codecs

Unfortunately, fixing incall audio appears to be a pain in ***. I've tried almost everything I've come up to so far, but some of the required for the telephony STE codecs doesn't work for some reason. In the case if someone who might have a clue about this issue is reading this, I'll left a relevant part of log below.

My first thought was that's a failing audiopolicy, but it seems that rather some STE codecs are not registered by the codecs loader.

I'm not sure it's the same audio issue, but those developers had an error like yours:

CM_OS_GetMpcMemorySystemAddress: mmap failed for memory area A0244000

and they fixed it.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Wow, many thanks! It was exactly the same issue with a legacy mmap as it appeared initially in Android 5.1. I used to think that legacy mmap support is implemented in the bionic sources, but it wasn't in this case.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] isaak:
It's full of unsolved bugs, anyway. All that mess to port touchwiz skin is insane, imho.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
No, there was another issue with incall audio, it was not working due to STE telephony OMX codecs were being not initialized (due to lack of legacy mmap support in libc).

Regarding this issue with low-incall audio, I was thinking it'd be handy to fix it directly in android audiopolicy lib, rather than patching telephony apk, will see if it's possible at all (at least, I was noticing in logs that for some odd reason, our audiopolicy sets the incall audio volume to 0, so maybe there's a way to prevent it)...
