Snapdragon 855 at the heart. I've been using snapdragon since the 800/801, skipped 810 and 820.

But since 835 I really thing improvements are only on the paper.

My problem with G8 is that it has only 2 cams on the back. And why not an tof on the back also?

Also I have compared whites on the G7 with the v40 and g7 is unbeatable. Who cares about blacks??? I really care about whites. G7 screen I find to be the best. We can say goodbye...
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
G7 definitely has a nice screen. I found with my v40 that it is neat to have a 3rd camera but really I never used it too much so it wasn't a deal breaker that the north American g8 only had 2. Although it's odd that they always spoil the Korean variant and no one else
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bongster:
Hi there,

any news on an update for pie?

I saw you have already finished some themes for the g8. Can i use them for the g7?

I'm on the Korean pie and miss the theme very much.

Many thanks!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I would not recommend using a g8 theme on your g7. I had tried the Korean pie on my g7 but it was terrible and I flashed back and am awaiting the proper ota. I believe the oreo themes should work on it though for the most part. I only tried twilight while on the Korean pie and I didn't see anything that I recall being a problem
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bongster:
Hi again,

I've bought twilight and it looks quite good. Sadly after installation my settings begin to crash.

Any tip how i can change my theme now without entering my settings?

Thanks
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Well that sucks. Long press home screen and go to themes.

Once pie rolls out here I'll address any issues. Odd that you had some and I didn't
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bongster:
I was able to deinstall the theme.

Now i tried pixel experience and here does settings work.

If i remember right with pixel experience i had problems with notifications.

I guess i have to wait.

Thanks for your beautiful work!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bongster:
With your apks for light notifications I can confirm that dark pixel experience is working with Korean pie.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Good to know
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] djmistaspot:
Mark,

Im trying to install the alpha theme on my G7 phone but none of it actually becomes "blacked out" after i restart my phone. I'm not sure if i am applying the settings correctly, can you help me out a bit, maybe post some screenshots of the Substratum settings? thanks
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
In the app description there are links to a YouTube tutorial and also a Google doc file. Full instructions can be found there. No need to retype those here.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bernardogo:
The subject line in the notification of Gmail is not quite readable on G7 for the Alpha.

Is it only for me?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikestony:
Yeah, pie just rolled out and installed on my device, and settings force closed. Almost factory reset and ran across your suggestion to long-press, change themes. ..thanks! phew!

Pixel Experience Dark for the G7...good while it lasted on Oreo :D
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Show me a few screenshots of pie with stock theme please. Quick settings panel and also show me a quick settings panel with a notification. V40 pie is also out for most devices (not mine yet) and I may be able to fix some issues blind... Maybe
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikestony:
Sure, doing this from my device so if this gets borked, I'll repost later
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Odd. Some notifications are round but not all? Your quick settings icons don't have a round bg on them either? That's very odd indeed. I would have thought pie for the guy would look similar to the V40 pie
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeffwyeh:
I think the partially round notifications are due to un-applying your theme and not rebooting. The notifications should be all rectangular without the space between them (almost exactly how Thur appeared in Oreo). I would screenshot, but I have no notifications at the moment. I'll try to Gran some tomorrow.

I can confirm that the quick settings also looks the same as before, with no round backgrounds.

Two more things:

1. I think your theme is missing the "available wifi networks" quick settings icon (wifi icon with a info badge at the lower left).

2. Do you think you can fix the gap with the media controls now that we have official pie?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeffwyeh:
Update with screenshot!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Wow I gotta be honest that is disappointing that they didn't go with rounded notifications and other things adopted in pie. Well I'll have to see what I can do about things but my guess is that LG just go lazy with the guy and changed nothing cosmetically and just added the pie stuff from aosp. So do my themes work at all or did you just have an issue with one?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sheep:
Twilight is giving me lots of errors. Couldn't even open the settings menu; caused crashing instantly. Went to playstore and uninstalled it which gave me a workable phone.

Pixel Exp Dark kinda works, but notifications aren't readable (text is also extremely small). Tried to patch it wit the light notifications, but it makes it worse: just a light round border around the dark notifications.

If someone can explain how to make a screenshot with the menu & notifications pulled down, I will add some.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] aalvico:
Pixel experience dark also crashes Gboard for me.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Are you two on pie or Oreo?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] xeizo:
Gboard worked on Oreo using Pixel Dark, it crashes in Pie, most things looks ok except mentioned small text for notifications and navbar behaving inconsistently.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] aalvico:
Gboard crashes on Pie.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Ok that should not be difficult to fix.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Anyone on pie that has any crashes with apps like settings please send me a logcat capturing the crash if you want to help me in fixing them. I likely won't get pie for a while so this would speed things up big time.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sheep:
Sorry, no issues on Oreo, only on Pie.

Gboard working fine on Pie with Pixel Dark over here though.

Appreciate your help!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] xeizo:
Managed to do a logcat, there are several gboard crashes when searching the file

[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] dasansi_13:
I'm also experiencing crashes in gboard after update pie with Pixel Experience White 1.9 (last from play store).
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeffwyeh:
I only tried the white Pixel Experience HomeTheme+ and it seemed to work for me (outside of the couple bugs I mentioned earlier of the missing wifi info icon and media player controls). I haven't had any crashes yet.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Topogigi:
+1 Had to uninstall gboard after upgrading to pie.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I need a tester to test Twilight pie for me. But you must have some knowledge on how to use adb, as well as have a confirmed working adb connection on your pc and phone. Let me know and I'll get you to test things out. If you're not familiar with adb please pass on this and let someone else jump in.

Thank you,

-Mark
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeffwyeh:
I've got a working adb system. Let me know what you need me to do and I can give it a shot!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Ok later tonight around 8 pm ish eastern time I'll be home and have something for you to test out
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeffwyeh:
Sure, I'll keep an eye out. I may not be able to test until tomorrow morning, but I'll get to it as soon as I can. Thanks!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Anyone around to test? Keep in mind guys I can't do anything without someone testing. I've gotten quite a few emails from some of you in here and private messages asking me to fix things but only one person has volunteered to help test. I'll be awake for another hour or two so someone please hit me up if you'd like to have things running smoothly.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikolaj612:
Hi Mark, I'm using some of your themes on my LG G7 since Oreo, now I'm running Pie and I found some issues :

1) Pixel Dark:

a) Music app changed it's name to english, so it didn't follow my local language name,

b) Some icons couldn't change it's shape even when I set it in LG drawer (that's especially true for Tasks icon and HD Sound recorder) icons are still rounded with some weird border arround it if I use different shape (like square, cylinder etc.),

c) on Pie some notifications colors wouldn't follow your theme, so here and there we could se stock (cyan kinda) color,

d) Google Play theme (rounder banners etc.) is kinda broken on Updates page, because it's sometimes missplaced and some boxes are still without rounded edges - anyway Google will overhaul whole UI in Google Play in next few days so I think it's not big deal anyway,

e)

2) Pixel Light:

It got same issues like Dark skin - but there is no problem with Music App - rest remain the same.

3) Twilight theme:

Same issues like in Pixel Dark + Setting app constantly closes (without any FC),

There is also something else (not an issue, mostly visual manner), I'm using newest Microsoft Launcher which is able now to change icons shape - some icons in Twilight are rounded square which is fine when you're using similiar in MS launcher, but if you pick Teardrop like it's look little strange to look at.

4) Pixel Substratum theme - it's not working because it couldn't be compiled.

All those LG Home themes got one common thing, when you're going to icon shape menu some option (as I remembered square and round) got broken background which is gray.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I'm guessing you haven't been following this thread lately.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikolaj612:
I just bought your themes on Google Play.

I never been following your theme thread here, so I've got no clue what do you mean by that ;)

I just gave you my feedback that's all.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sheep:
I appreciate your time and wished I could help testing but I really don't have to knowledge. Would be a waste of time for both of us. ;)

If you got easier things that I can test or try, just drop me a message.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I wasn't trying to come off rude btw. I've just had quite a bit of emails and recent posts here telling me about issues on pie. I can't fix any of them though until I get pie which could take a while, or someone does some testing for me. The tester needs to know a bit about adb though and have adb set-up on their pc.

I've got someone to test the V40 pie for me and that's all set and I'm good that way. But I cannot update until someone does the same for me for the G7 since both devices as of now share the same theme.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeffwyeh:
Mark, I may have misunderstood before. Is the testing something that can be done asynchronously, or would we need to "get together" virtually?

If async, you can PM/email/post here directions and I can follow and report back. Otherwise let me know and we can try to find a time that works!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
The best way to do it is to msg via telegram tbh. Basically as long as someone has adb set-up in their computer and confirmed connection via adb to their G7 they can test with me. It won't take long and they may not even need to use adb. They just need to have it working just in case.

But basically I can't even begin to try to update any theme to pie until someone can test with me and I'm actually really surprised no ones really be jumped on this. I would love to get the main testing done tonight so I can come up with a plan.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jeffwyeh:
PM sent, I'm free tonight. Let know what I need to do and we can coordinate. Thanks!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I did reply but didn't hear back.

Help me out guys!

Let's get this testing done so I can see what works and fix stuff.

Who's free right now?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrnovanova:
Funny thing is i have no issues with my S9 plus and had no issues with my pixel 2 xl either. It's just that G7 giving me grief. Lol. Thank you for everything.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
With the multiple device option it may be a bit confusing I guess. There's a slight learning curve for everyone but once you get it, you'll be fine
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] mestguy182:
Hey Mark, I posted in the V30 thread but might as well post here too, can we please get the Pixel icons for the quick settings tiles too?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
As of now theming the quick settings is not something I've fully figured out. The way lg did it is the most confusing and overly complicated way. I don't fully understand what they did yet because it's unique to how any other company did it.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrnovanova:
I tried again today and it turned out perfectly . Not sure what I did differently tho.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Now that looks sharp. Very nice! I may have to switch to red. I've always been on blue!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrnovanova:
You know what they say "Once you go red..." lol. FTR I think my issue was interference by LG themes. I changed my icons and everything went sideways the notifications stayed black but everything else including the apps went back to white.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Issemann:
First off... Awesome job Mark! This looks incredible and takes me back quite a few years when I would spend countless hours modding my HTC Incredible. [emoji41]

Next.... Just wanted to let you know about two things I noticed:

1) Google Calendar days look weird with the white background boxes.

2) My shortcuts aren't behaving nicely. View attachment 4523471
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] madcowintucson:
I can't get any of this to work. I actually got everything loaded once but I could not get the Alpha theme to populate. I watch the video so thinking I did something wrong I restarted my phone now when I launch the desktop client for Andromeda is Zips through the command prompt screen so fast I can't see what's going on. Prior to that it would just say it was killing the ABD and then close now I can't get it to even do that. I don't know why it worked one time and then didn't work any other times I'm stuck
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] madcowintucson:
So in order to get this all to work you have to enable usb tethering. Not sure how i missed that and i dont see that in any instructions. After its working i get a lot of force closing of apps and the theme isnt really changing at all deffinately not working like in the video.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bkdodger:

[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
We can't do anything about the calendar because the black text is hard coded so to make it readable a white bg just be present.

I think you have more than 1 systemui overlay applied causing the readability issue. Someone else did the same thing in a previous page
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
You didn't apply settings or lg system resources. Apply both and you'll be fine.

This seems to be a common thing where people are t applying it as well as android or systemui. I'm not sure why. The only advice I have is for people to take their time and look at the list to see what they're applying or should apply.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bkdodger:
It was the LG resources I was missing... I missed it twice smh..... Thank you!

This mod wouldn't have any effect on my inability to retrain my "OK Google" option would it? I am having an issue doing so. Even after a reboot, I just keep getting the spinning circle when trying to train my voice to my device.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] bkdodger:
I have no issues with mine... when you reboot is it after uninstall of theme ?

LG G7
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I doubt it. Mine works with it. Although I did read somewhere recently about the Google app itself having a bug where sometimes Google doesn't recognize people's voice. So my guess is that's a server side error because mine works but my wife's isn't working on her phone which isn't using any theme.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikestony:
no, but here is what I did:

I updated the Google app via the PlayStore knowing full well this could bork the theme. Well, not only did it bork the theme, it completely borked Google and my ability to even open the app...always force closes.

So, I went into my app manager and cleared the cache. No help, still could not open Google app. Went back into app manager again, cleared cache, force stopped it, disabled it (at which point it uninstalled the update), re-enabled it and tried to open it. No dice, still would not open.

So I disabled the Google theme via the "Manager" tab in Substratum. Went back and opened Google app no problem and retrained my voice for "OK Google".

Went back into substratum and enabled the theme for Google and tried to open it. Would not open. Went back into substratum and disabled the theme.

It opens no problem.

Hmmm. I wonder if I just need to rebuild the theme again only for the Google app, but don't have the time right now.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

I doubt it too. I just saw your reply after I posted my last post before this one.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikestony:
crap, wish I saw this a few hours ago. I can check back in several hours if no one chimes in.

I do have adb working, and can connect my device with the computer. I don't use adb a lot, so not too familiar with all the commands.

If you need a logcat of something via adb, I'll need some guidance with that.

Like I said, I'll come back later late this evening...I'm guessing about 7 hours from now.

Sorry! For some reason the XDA app didn't send me a notification. Hopefully I can be of more help in the future if you need anything (if you trust me still......).
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] xeizo:
FYI if you want to compare stuff there is a dark theme on Playstore that works pretty well with the G7 Pie, it's called "Theme Android Q Black for LG G7" by WSTeams. I have yet to find any troublesome or showstopping bug in it. Looks and works well. Only thing is notifications is not rounded, but the text is fine which is more important imho.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
WS teams can suck it. That jerk steals 90% of my code and then blocks me after calling his ass out. You might notice his threads are locked for a reason.

I've found some testers and will have some things updated likely some time this week. I never refer to other people's work when making my own theme. I'd never learn anything that way. Unfortunately sometimes the Canadian devices are last to get updates and that's the only reason I'm behind this time. There really is not that much to fix though based on the tests I've done.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] xeizo:
Sorry to hear that, what a jerk! Looking forward to switching back, your theme is the best on Oreo :good:
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
FYI for pixel Experience light I may change the notification panel to be completely white without the black header. The only reason is because it seems more people are hiding the notch which cuts off the date and or time making it unreadable. That's a problem. For pixel dark it still cuts it off (well more so goes under it) but it's completely readable so I won't change that.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Speaking of pixel Experience light can someone on pie show me a screenshot of the notification panel but please don't hide the notch for the screenshot.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] dasansi_13:
Hi Mark! Thank you for your effort! Here attached a screenshot with the notch visible in pixel light!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Twilight is updated for pie now and live. Pixel experience dark should be good soon.

Also patches are now a thing of the past with pie. They don't hold up anymore and just will randomly revert back.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] dasansi_13:
And what about pixel experience light? Will be also updated?

Thanks!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sheep:
Thanks so much Mark (and others for helping Mark).

Does it mean the other set of icons in the quick settings (the round ones, which in my eyes are much better fitting with the theme) cannot be installed/patched?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
You can try applying it but it may not hold up and revert back
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Yes but I'm doing one at a time. Pe dark is next
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] dasansi_13:
Thank you so much!!! :D
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lord Sheep:
OK, I'll give it a shot later this weekend.

Everything else works perfectly, thanks for the fast service!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikolaj612:
Hi Mark, should I wait for Pixel theme for Substratum?

Your Twilight theme working fine :good:

I found only two minor things, some strings are english instead of my local language (I found only two, maybe there are more).

I hope you'll update pixel themes soon, especially Pixel Light, it's my favoritue.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
You might as well uninstall substratum. It doesn't work on pie. I haven't touched a single string anywhere so I don't have the answer for that at all and will not be able to do anything about it.

I'll have both pixel themes updated this weekend. Light needs very little adjustments. The quick settings panel will be changing a bit for readability issues caused by notch hiders. The black space above the quick settings will disappear and I'm going to make it all white. I'm not worried about dark for the notch hiders because it will be readable if they want to hide it.
