If I find any good blue options I'll post them and possibly add them as presets in the future.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gettinwicked:
Sorry, I mean green instead of blue. Although, I would like a less bright, more minimal, medium blue. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
I'll see what I can figure out. Its been bothering me that I can't just set the colors I want.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] srahman5317:
Thanks for all the work
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
Thanks for this!

Any chance of implementing bigger grid sizes? I'd love to have 7 wide x 11 tall if possible....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
I'll add it in to next update
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
That'll be great, thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Already in for next update but it looks busy. You will need to set the icons size rather small (less than 46) and I will also add smaller app label sizes for those that want labels.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
Looks great, thanks for this!

I wonder if it's possible to rename app labels on the honescreen? Presume not and likely a third party launcher feature....?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Can't rename apps with this mod. Yeah 3rd party launcher can do that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Next update you guys will be able to set notification background color for each theme. Solid colors for now, trying to figure out transparency on it.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Next update will bring less washes out colors in quick settings. Colors will be closer to what you input in the pixel themes section. Going to see if I can make the lock screen clock do the same. It's written differently and I'm not sure it will work the same way.

Are we able to make the notification shade transparent yet?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Solid colors for now. Need to find the layer underneath it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Ok, so I managed to get more accurate colors to show up across the whole Material U themeable apps. Its not complete but a lot has been done and is more accurate to what you select in the Pixel Themes Stub section of the Substratum Theme. One thing I did have to do was create a switch in framework which is toggable via Substratum. Basically if you would like to use deep reds and blues you need to select yes in that switch so they come out somewhat close to what you set them to. I would recommend you guys just go ahead and build two framework overlays one with the toggle on and the other with it off and then you can just swap them out when you guys try out different colors. I only tested primary colors so not sure which other colors would require the toggle to be on. If toggle is off some deep colors get a pastel look to them. When the toggle is on colors generate darker than what you set them to but reds and blues look great, other light colors not so much. So once that is released, some playing around with the overlays will be required to find that satisfactory shade you want. As I add more stuff to be changed the same color shade will apply to them. So once you find that perfect color with the toggle on/off, it will remain the same moving forward. I will work on it some more tomorrow, but its exciting to get rid of a bunch of pastel stuff.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NewDev4IOS:
im getting black screen after it boots how can i remove it?

Update: i was able to get out of it by switching to 3 button Nav, if i go back to gesture control screen goes black
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
What options did you choose for the overlays? Also what device is this on? Any other mods installed?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NewDev4IOS:
Using a pixel 6 pro. Only other mods installed is the UNSN fix and systemless hosts

I have tried other mods and whenever I have my navigation bar set as gestures control it does this. Only when I switch from gesture to 3 button nav In safe mode and then reboot does my phone work again, but if I enable gestures again it will instantly turn screen black again and become unusable.

I'm running latest Nov patch.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
This very odd behavior. Not sure what could be causing it especially since it happens with other mods as well. Only way to get an idea would be to get a logcat. I'd recommend a factory reset, but you could wait for December ota and then try the mods again. If you experience the same issue with different mods, then for sure I'd do the factory reset.

Pixel 4a, SP1A_211105.002 (A12)

Magisk 23.0 stable, Substratum lite overlay helper 0.5.20

Pixel5 Tweaks Helper with Homescreen Searchbar removed v2.0.0.3

Pixel Tweaks 6.2

Overlays modified so far: Pixel launcher ONLY (see attached picture)

I can confirm that Tweaks, version and groundwork as above, works seamlessly on Pixel4a!

Comments1:

Thumbs up for @eg1122, great work!

Comments2:

IMHO, a bit more margins (top and bottom) around the dock-bar would improve ergonomics. The current layout, at least with my device/config, squeezes the dock between the bottom of the screen (gesture bar handle) and the first row of icons.

As images speak a thousand words, see attachments :)

Kind request:

Would it be too hard-working to implement a dock-padding option? Or just add some padding by default?

Thanks in advance and, again, congrats for the excellent work!

You definitely deserve a beer or two... depending on where you buy them!

(the cost of a pint is quite different in UK or Far East)

Cheers,

Riccardo

ps: another post will follow with further comments about Pixel Tweaks on Pixel 4a
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Thanks for the pics, I can tweak padding. Its just hard for me to tweak all of them and know how they will turn out on every pixel. I'll add more padding on next release, if you want join my telegram channel via the tweaks intro screen and I can send you early builds to test different padding options. The padding option is actually built into the the yes5x7 option. I could in theory change it to where it actually displays the padding dimension rather than the grid. I just went with the padding that worked from A11. But I agree, it needs to be changed. I'll tweak it for sure.

Thank you for the pint!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rdragoni:
Next step in overlay's testing.

I don't like the folders' background color with my current config (dark theme).

Side effect: the folder's name is difficult to read/modify due to the light color of the background., which makes the icon-name-text quite invisible.

I've created a new overlay and modified the 'FolderBkg" value to black.

I use a solid background black color on my pixel. Without getting mad with transparencies, this should give the same result.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. Or I am doing it wrong.

Folder bg color sticks to a light-grey, as well as the text (which I'm not willing to change)

Well, here you are with a new bit of challenge.

Cheers,

Riccardo
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rdragoni:
Are you talking about the "first in class" pixel 6 pro version? Or is it available even in the "ugly duckling" pixel 4a spin out? I'm asking because the "yes 5x7" is the option I'm actally using on my pixel 4a.

Anyway, I'll double check and (quite) surely join your telegram group, even if I'm absolutely unreliable in terms of community contribution...

Cheers

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
For the light theme, white backgrounds, use pixel tweaks extension to modify those.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Technically it should work the same on both, but if it's different on p4a I will make "ugly duckling" options available.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rdragoni:
I don't use light themes in any app

... nor my phone should, theoretically.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Its very odd that you get a white background then...it should have turned black with that change.

Edit*

I was already planning on rebuilding that part of the theme so I'll get that sorted soon and push an update in a day or so. Hopefully that takes care of that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rdragoni:
Yes, you got it. It's not completely white... more of a grey-ish background.

But I was definitely expecting a black (#000000) background.

Take it as a rare unexpected result by a single user :cool:

ps: still looking for your telegram group, I can't find it

May you send me the link or searchable name by pm?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bs3pro:
Is there anyway to make a true pitch black theme??? Not the boring grey "dark" theme??
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
There are a few substratum themes that work with Android 12. I'm using Iris Monet along with pixel tweaks with no issues.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Happy early Thanksgiving to all of you guys! I'll be MIA for a few days but wanted to drop this before heading out. Update can be flashed over 2.0.0.3, but Android System and Pixel Launcher overlays need to be rebuilt for sure. Enjoy!

Changelog​

Pixel.Tweaks.Helper.v2.0.0.4

A bunch of pastel/washed out colors have been removed. You will notice the colors set from Pixel Themes will be more vibrant or toned down based on your choices.

Made other changes to allow the added functions of Pixel Tweaks 6.3 based on Pixel 6 Pro November 2021 OTA

Pixel Tweaks v6.3

Added a color switch for the Material You theme engine. You can now set colors closer to what you input in the Pixel Themes section.

Reworked AppDrawerBkg, FolderBkg, and DropdownBkg

Good job! Black folder background now works on Pixel4a.

For the records:

pixel4a SP1A.211105.002

magisk 23.0

substratum lite overlay helper 0.5.20

pixel tweaks helper searchbar removal 2.0.0.4 (flashed over 2.0.0.3 with magisk)

pixel tweaks 6.3 (apk) installed after uninstalling 6.2 version

Works like a charm! Applause for @eg1122

If I really have to find a flaw, I'd say that the dockbar still needs a bit more padding, top and bottom.

But heck, no, I'm really happy with my current config.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
The top padding on the dock is auto generated based on the vertical grid, but I can still tweak the bottom padding some. Send over a screenshot so I can compare to P6 and find a happy median.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NUGZZ420:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong I've mostly been trying to use it to keep using the stock launcher and change the dock and grid size and hide battery but it doesn't seems to stick for me . I'm using the 5x5 grid the magisk mod is active and I'll make the overlay reboot and set again and reboot the overlay will show green but nothing seems to stick. I do have lawn chair launcher installed but had the pixel launcher active. I've read through it all multiple times thinking I've missed something I even uninstalled and reinstalled everything and no go I'm using a pixel 6 pro thx if you need screen shots or logcats just let me know I'm starting to feel dumb because usually things like this I don't have a problem with thx again for your hard work.

Can I get a screenshot of the overlays you built from substratum lite
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cxblack:
Thanks for the work ! Currently using a Pixel 5 with Android 12 (SP1A.211105.003). I've thried to install the "Pixel5.Tweaks.Helper.CC.Searchbar.Removal.v2.0.0.4.zip" and the "Pixel5.Tweaks.Helper.Searchbar.Removal.v2.0.0.4.zip". There are creating bootloop for me. Does any one else experience this ?

I've found in the thread the "Pixel5.Tweaks.Helper.CC.Searchbar.Removal.v2.0.0.1.zip". The v2.0.0.1 is working for me. But I would rather like the file without CC. Does anyone can share the "Pixel5.Tweaks.Helper.Searchbar.Removal.v2.0.0.1.zip" ?

Thanks !
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
I'm not home at the moment, but I'll check the zips as soon as I get home.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
I checked out the zips and it all looks to be in order. The biggest change is the inclusion of framework-res.apk. Do you have any other mods that modify that or SystemUI? If not, could you upload stock SystemUI and framework-res so I can compare. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cxblack:
I've no other mods on my phone (only root, magisk, hide of root). Here are the files ! Thanks for the check
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Thanks, had a very busy day so didn't get to check this issue out. I'll look into it tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fr0sty:
After using your app i finally was able to remove the searchbar and have some more apps on the home screen. But now for some reason Android Auto is not working anymore. Can it be that this has something to do with the flasing of Pixel.Tweaks.Helper.Searchbar.Removal.zip and the overlay? Is there a way that i can revert my changes so i can see if it is this what is causing the troubles?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Simply disable the overlays in substratum lite, then turn off the mod in magisk and reboot to go back to stock to see if the issue is gone. I'll test on my side as well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fr0sty:
Forgot it was as simple as that :) Everything works ok without the adjustments. As soon as i load the Pixel Tweaks Helper Searchbar removal, then it starts acting strange. The menu bar in Google Auto disappears, I only get Google Maps and after reinstalling Android Auto it doesnt load at all.

On my pixel 5 I also removed the searchbar, no problems there, but probably for that was Android 11
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gettinwicked:
I'm having the same issue with android auto. The two I used are the change accent colors and change status bar colors. AA doesn't show the bar at the bottom, then stops working after reinstall. I disabled both and rebooted, but the issue remained. I had to toggle the tweaks module off and reboot to get it to work again.

Sucks too, the new color choices are almost what you pick, and I love it! Cheers to the awesome work!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Once December ota is released on P6 I'll build it a piece at a time to test. Hopefully I can figure out what the issue is and it doesn't interfere with the mods.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dd805bb:
Was searching for mods and found this... And substratum was originally built for Samsung devices and it hijacks Samsung's theme engine. Substratum lite isn't from the same people anymore as Substratum. Both work differently now and idk when either was last updated. Meaning their overlay maybe outdated and the reason for all the problems. Not really designed for Vanilla Android. Just saying. And I remember an issue between the overlay and magisk when I last owned a Samsung years ago. Just saying. Running double and triple apks to get an app to change a color is insane. Launcher for example, you have launcher apk going and the overlay apk you installed. Battery eater for sure. Research what Substratum is before installing. Because it's on play store doesn't mean it works on all devices.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
This mod is over 3 years old (started on pixel 3). So trust me and the thousands of downloads and installs it has had, it works on pixels.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
And to add further, Substratum Lite works just fine on Android 12 with this device. In fact, still working fine on my Pixel 2XL (Android 11) and 4XL (Android 12) as well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dd805bb:
And 6 pages in 3 weeks. Lol. Sounds like it works great. Just saying. Substratum was never built for our phones. Period. Just a quick read through, the stock Pixel launcher for the pro and since the 5a the grid default has been 4×5(which I have actually owned). Not 5×5. But hey, what do I know. Lol. Keep installing those apks.. I am sure all these problems in 6 pages relate to exactly what I am saying. Anyone know the last time it was updated and how many android versions since? "2+2=4"

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
I'll dig into the update this weekend, thank you for these.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
And notice how the majority of those issues were user errors or minor issues that have been already resolved? Android Auto is a new issue and that's because of Android 12. Its different and I just have to figure out what edit causes it and fix it. No one is making anyone install this. There are 5 different problems reported in the last 6 pages, some were user error, some were incompatibility which has been fixed. The only issue still present is the Android Auto one. So please do us all a favor and if you have nothing positive to add then leave this thread. No one is making anyone install this. It is free, you are not paying for it. Don't feel entitled to tell others what they should and shouldn't do with their devices. As long as I'm active I will fix any issues my mod causes and when the time comes someone will eventually come up with something to render this mod obsolete. Until then please go troll elsewhere.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yeah, had to hit the ignore button on that person. Apparently saying Substratum Lite is working on 3 of my phones, 2 of which are on Android 12, isn't good enough. Apparently it doesn't work and I'm just imagining everything, lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eg1122:
Oh I feel you. I've been using Substratum Lite for years with 0 issues and I know I'm not the only one.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] miggsr:
If you don't like substratum because it's antiquated and the battery eater, why come into a thread and complain about it? Cuz this year looks like a complaint, it does not seem relevant to the thread OP. Given any mod, whether based on other people's work or piggy banking off of other people's work that's antiquated. If the mod was created and posted, it means it works. As long as the method of applying it is followed. There's no sense in posting a mod that's flawed unless you say this mod has flaws use at your own risk. But you know as is any mod on XDA. You should use any of these mods at your own risk whether there's issues or not. I don't think XDA was created as a place for bashing people's hard work and modding Android. If I remember correctly, it was a place created to work together and help others. I could be wrong. I don't own this place. I don't own this mod, but I do know that I've tested this mod on various devices that I own and as long as you follow the instructions provided in the OP you should be fine. Will it play well with other mods that's to be determined but that is the purpose of XDA You test you. Try you learn you figure out and share your info now. If you don't want to share up to you, no problem. No foul All right. I'm done. It's just frustrating seeing what other people complain about dumb stuff
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dd805bb:
A place created to help each other. Yes. And if the Substratum was never ever built for our phones, shouldn't that be helping? Also why push that it has to substratum? There are mods out there like that stopped using substratum. Substratum is probably the worst thing to put on your phone. I know, I shouldn't say that to help people xda because it's not positive right? Only help when you like what is said. Fact, everything I have said has not been denied by the dev has it? Why does he want you to use his mod on with a known buggy app off the play store? Why not his own? Why not post it on google play of it was just a simple mod? Why just on here? And using other people's apps? Lol. Nothing is free. Get a clue. You install apps that go over apps you use. Ever wonder how key strokes are stolen or your personal information gets stolen. Substratum turned into a major issue on Samsung phones. Most on this don't know because they never owned one. Seems like great help spreading the history of failed substratum.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] miggsr:
Okay so now you're saying that substratum is stealing information from your keystrokes? Is that what you're trying to say without trying to actually say it in words? Stop speaking? The puzzles just say things out right?. And the reason why I'm talking about Substratum is because that's what you kept on talking about in your previous post. My question is simple. Do you like the OP's mod? Yes or no? If no, there are many other mods you can go and try. If yes, okay, contribute to improving the situation by explaining whatever your issue may be so it can be fixed. But coming into a thread nagging about this, that and the third.... doesn't show any form of contribution to XDA.

In all seriousness, exactly what are you trying to say about this mod here or Substratum for that matter...stop beating around the bush. And if you have something substantial regarding this mod specifically provide evidence because this thread is about this mod, provide evidence as well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dd805bb:
So you understand you are putting into your phone an overlay system you have absolutely no control over right? I am not taking this mod. Substratum lite. You are cool with that? No way of accessing anything it does? Wow. Here is the original substratum. May 2019 last update. Substratum lite isn't the same. Has been in early access 3 years. Should tell you something. This mod may work. Substratum is janky and WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS. Period. It isn't up for debate it was never built for our phones. It isn't something that should be used on anything running vanilla Android. Samsung, Sony, and I believe LG have the theming engine already. We have monet. Substratum isn't built to be compatable with Android 12. If you have proof show me. Here is the actual GitHub for the original substratum. Anyone know why open source is good? Lol. Please if you have facts that go against anything I said, please you show facts. Google stopped overlays because of reasons I mentioned. Go look it up. It is fact.
