Hi all,
as you all (maybe not ?) know, Oxygen OS is partially compatible with RRO Layers, so you can take your chance, install the Layers Manager App and try some of them.
But, if you're as (un)lucky as me, you'll end up most of the time either in a bootlop (in this case, reboot in TWRP, mount system,
then go to advanced menu, file manager and go to system/vendor/overlays and delete all (or only faulty one if you know which one is,
most of the time framework, or systemui) apks.
So, i've spent many (MANY) hours searching, trying, bootlooping, TWRPing, again and again in order to get a dark and lovely theme without bugging with the power menu,
or blinding white notifications... or dark notifications but white settings.... :silly:
And although i was close to give up, i finally managed to get exactly what i wanted, but i had to mix 3 different layers to get it working.
So i'll share my setup here.
I needed 3 layers,
the first one is from Spannaa, and called Simple Blue Layers Theme (please do not go there to complain about anything, this theme is designed to work on OP2, and not OPX, thanks.)
the second one is Domination Layers Theme and is optional, i only used it for playstore and contacts, but that's a matter of taste. Credits go to @daveyannihilation
And the last one is called Oxygen Layers Theme.
And this is the kind of bad part, it's a paid theme... but that's the only layer i found that isn't causing a bug with framework (you can't hold power to get power menu, it results in a soft reboot).
So, if you ask me, it's worth 1,32€ (and no, i'm not the author nor a friend of him).
But if you find one free, and working, share it :highfive:
The last two screenshots are what i installed, but there a different choices you can make, for example with Simple Blue, you can choose single or double column for settings page.
You can also choose the icons' style (thin in my screenshot).
Here are my details: listed installed layers for each theme
OxygenOS:
Accent: Blue Steel 4
Framework: Lollipop Dark Background
Status Color: AccentColor
Under Style specific Overlays, choose DarkBackground
Dialer
Google Messenger
Layers Manager
Phone
Simple Blue:
SystemUI
Settings two columns (but you can choose one if you prefer, of course)
Under Style Specific Overlays, choose Thin if you want same as me, but you can try the other choices, like i said before.
Settings Icon
SystemUI Icons
Domination:
Contacts
Package Installer
Playstore
I forgot to mention that i'm using Dark theme from under OOS settings, i don't know the exact term, maybe customization ? (personnalisation in french) and not switching to dark mode would probably result in troubles, so first, apply dark mode, then install layers.
And keep Default accent colors too.
With this you should get exactly what you see in the screenshots.
Hope you enjoy, and don't forget to share your (working) layers
Once again, please do not go to Spannaa's thread to complain, or looking for help, but you're more than welcome to thank @Spannaa for his work and share.
Tip: Just don't apply theme to "Frameworks" in layers and every layers theme will work fine.
Regards.

Just a quick question (may be OT): How do you rearrange your settings like that? (Screenshot 2) It's more a table than the usual list, looks good.

It's a feature of Simple Blue Theme, you have the choice of single column (classic like stock) or two columns, like on my screenshot:
You need to choose the appropriate setting in the dropdown menu for "settings".
Thanks for the answer.
So not applicable to other ROMs or themes

Since recompiling my apk didn't work, I achieved it by making a small xposed module that essentially does the same (plus it has the benefit of surviving updates etc).
Decompiling and editing worked perfectly fine but while recompiling it just got stuck. I tested it on two different machines and OS's, same result. No errors, just stuck.
I'm gonna try and adjust the text size a little bit since some of the entries are being cut off. Maybe after that I'll release it, if someone's interested.
TL;DR: Thank you, it worked.

Did you install the framework(s) before decompiling and try different versions of apktool?
The Xposed route is fine if you use it - I don't, that's why I added the mod to my settings overlay.
A good alternative to an Xposed module would be an overlay with a low priority that just changes settings to two columns.

My second framework decompiles OK but even if I change nothing, it won't compile again as some resources aren't present.

Green pixels are smaller than red ones so they still consume a bit more. But at equal size, green pixels are actually the most power efficient.

First off I want to add my phone dialer to one of the apps, and whilst it let's me, when I select it in my pie the phone doesn't open... In fact nothing happens.
Secondly I would like to add a script that reboots into recovery, but I don't have the first clue on how to write a script let alone implement it into pie.
Thirdly, I have pasted dozens of color schemes into rbg option and I can't get the color to change at all. I've updated the app to the latest and have tried restarting the service afterward, but all I can do is cycle through the few available colors and although this has been asked in a dozen threads and answered a dozen times, none of those answers work for me.

Everything you're asking is achievable with Tasker/Secure Settings and most any other 3rd party software that reboot into recovery (ROM Toolbox, etc). Both Tasker and LMT use "Activity" intents, furthermore LMT can link to Tasker Tasks - these are VERY POWERFUL tools you should look into.
As far as the Pie Colors there are few things you should know:
1. All 6 color codes, separated by comas, in the specific form generated by LMT (i.e. #ff000000 - pure black or #ffffffff - pure white) are required. In other words your complete code should be a sequence of 6 codes separated by comas (no spaces).
2. The codes are explained in settings, on the Pie Colors button itself: 1=base color (the one close to your thumb), 2=selection color, 3=icon colors, 4=outline of the base color (small, inner side of the pie), 5=Gradient (or second) color (the color at the outside, larger portion of of the pie), 6=Outline color of the gradient color.
3. If these 2 rules are understood, keep generating codes (colors/transparency) by using the sliders and then click "Click to add color" button until you have a sequence of 6 such generated codes.
Generally, if you mess up the code (unnecessary spaces, wrong/nonexistent code) the pie will go back to a default color.

Yeah I think I got the color down pretty good, just takes a thousand tries.
As far as the LMT activities and scripts, that [email protected] might as well be in Spanish. I bought Tasker a few months back and never figured that thing out. The plain truth is even when I apply myself I'm not very smart, so I was hoping that someone has already figured some of this crap out and I could just piggy back their brilliance.

Hey guys,
I'd like to use LMT Pie, but I can't figure out how to hide/remove the navbar (the navbar sucks for me cause I'm left handed, and it's too hard to reach my most used button: back)
Please don't suggest paid apps, I'm unable to buy them, I'd prefer a manual tweak, flashable zip or any free apk.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "hiding" or "removing" the navbar - at least in the case of a Samsung phone, the navbar (menu/home/back) buttons are all part of the hardware - otherwise called hard buttons - and obviously there is NOTHING you can do to "hide" or "remove" them, however, there are ways to disable them. I haven't tried it but here is a guide on the S3 (it should be working on the Note2 as well) that shows you how to disable them. In order to be able to do this you need to be rooted and you also need a root file explorer - but personally I wouldn't be going this route since you can still configure/use the LMT without messing around with the hard buttons. If, on the other hand you use a phone other than Samsung, then you're in the wrong section...
As far as the LMT is concerned, of course you can set the activation-area-position on the left-hand side and configure one of the buttons as the back button - regardless of the existing navbar hard buttons. Hope this helps.
Omg sorry, my bad! I didn't even notice I was on S2 forums, a link brought me here from Sony Xperia SP forums xD (it has an on-sceeen navbar)
Sorry for the miss-post, and thanks for the reply

Dark mods in this pack are not switchable. Night mode is a different mod, and doesn't change any of the frameworks, but just the color values of the screen. If you want to go back and forth, the best thing to do is keep 2 copies of the flashable zip, and replace the modded files in one of them with your original stock files. Then you can flash back to your original whenever you want.
I fixed the dark lock screen clock. Let me know if anyone wants it.

I just use Transparent theme via Substratum. I want to know yours. How about you?
I use SX Darkres so that I get black notifications on my lockscreen.
Then I use Spectrum to theme my Chrome and Chrome beta, this gives me a lovely black Google landing page.
Swift Black for everything else. This gives me the best results on all other applications and gets updated all the time from the Dev.
Pyrope browser runs with adblock built in and also has a night mode that lets me run my Facebook in black. (I don't run FB battery killer app)
Edit: I didn't buy all these themes for my XZ1 compact. I invested in several that were originally Layers for my Z3c before that was depreciated and turned into Substratum.

I haven't gotten around to theming yet (but I'm gonna, need to get rid of all this white stuff), but apart from that, I'm running Custom Navigation Bar (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967) to add a left and right key to each end of the navbar (really missed these from my Z3c). I didn't choose any icon, so they're not visible, so I don't need Tasker to detect in which context to display the arrow keys.
I run AutoNotification (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification) to hide the annoying "running in the background" and "is displaying over other apps" notifications for two specific apps.
The app displaying over other apps is Internet Speed Meter (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glitter.internetmeter), which adds a floating widget to the status bar, that displays the current up/down speeds (another feature I miss from my rooted phones).
Other than that: Nova Launcher, because it's just more stock-ish and greatly customizable, Gello Mod because I got used to it from eXistenZ ROM on my Z3c and has an adblocker, YMusic for YouTube, now that Xposed isn't available (gonna try iYTBP at some point) and Lucky Patcher to clone apps.

System UI, Android system, Calculator, Call management, Phone.
Pretty sure there is overlap as I have System UI and Android system selected in Swift Black as well. But it seems to take Swift Black for the system settings and SX Darkres for the notifications.
SX Darkres is the only theme that successfully mods the phone dialer and quickdial.
Cool, thanks bro

The first time it's run, the lamp goes on. From then on, one or two light "karate-chops" should toggle it on/off. Caveat: the screen must be on for the app to function.
The permissions dialog states it requires use of camera, but in reality it's only the lamp. No pictures are taken .

No spamming intended. The topic asks about apps used for customizing the XZ1 Compact phone. This is an app I use to implement a custom function. I am not selling anything. However, you are the final arbiter in these matters, and if you say it's inappropriate, then so be it.

Appreciate the kind and mature response.
The way to do this correctly, is to open your thread with your APK and provide the link to it in this thread. Then, it is cleaner and has the added benefit to bump your status as a recognized contributor. So, if in the future, you are ever interested in pursuing that title, you built history of being recognized contributor.

Under what category/subheading would you feel it's most appropriate to create a thread for the apk? Would that be "Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Themes, Apps, and Mods"? Just want to be sure.
I realise that this is a rather old thread but has anyone been able to get substratum to work properly on Pie?
I mean Sony's release of Pie, not AOSP.
I keep getting white textboxes in settings due to "Android System" not being patched correctly. It shows no error though.

Unfortunately the white spots, such as inside bluetooth where you would normally read "Connect/Disconnect" and such is unreadable.
The new notification inside settings is also still white.
I'm going to wait and hope that perhaps DarkRes will be updated to Pie.

Hey,
As you guys know, Huawei disables the "Darken Interface Colors" option on their non-pro devices (p20, mate 10, mate 20).
With EMUI 8 you could just install a dark theme from the play store and solve this issue, but with EMUI 9 the problem is that these old themes don't display correctly (lots of black on black unreadable text)
So I made a simple dark theme that could help with this issue, download it from the attachments below.
There are some small bugs (as shown here)
But I'm not knowledgeable enough with EMUI theming to be able to fix them, so if anyone is, please do
(hwt files are just renamed zip files basically, they're really easy to work with).

- F Stop Gallery
- Gonemad or Black player for music.
- Youtube has a dark theme.
- Solid Explorer (Dark theme)
- Try using Fluid Navigation Gestures on the playstore if you want more customization gesture navigation (works flawlessly)

Hey guys, sorry it's working now.

Works very well!!!...Hope in future updates. Dialer for first. Thank you for the job!
Okay I tried this a bit ago and it didn't work. Then I came across a problem and decided to reset all settings, then I was suddenly able to apply the theme.
Maybe try restarting the phone and if that doesn't work and you're desparate for dark theme, go ahead and try reset settings ("Reset all settings" option, NOT "Factory data reset")

Welcome! I suggested the Google phone app, it has dark mode and looks better than the stock app IMO.

Just extract the hwt inside to the folder, no need to rename.

Love your theme bro! Simple and confined to the critical zone that needed darker theme. Keep it up!
Works very well, honor view 10 which updated to Emui 9 today.
thank you so much for this.
I have been looking for this dark theme since Mate 20 was released, Thank you for an early Christmas gift. more power to you and create more. there is a little bit of a bug when replying on a message directly in the notification panel, the background and the letter is color black, so I can't see it. that the only problem for now. thank you so much for this theme. .
I want to use dark theme in my honor play device
What can I do???
Is there a way to change the 'Blue' colour default theme to other colour without installing any theme? Cos I want to maintain everything as default but only the colour changed.

Yes, you can do it with a theme from the samsung theme store or you can use substratum on an unrooted Note 20 Ultra. How to use substratum has checnged from the first post but toward the end of the thread are the new procedures.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/official-starting-substratum-andromeda-t3798316
Here's one example of substratum.
.....but, OP said he DID NOT want to install a theme and wanted to keep things DEFAULT

Substratum looks sweet. Gonna have to check that out.

Hex Installer allows you to keep the Samsung theme but change the UI element colors. You can even fine tune the background colors. No root needed and no wonky Substratum setup.

The app is Hex installer.

By default it's already using a Samsung theme!
Changing the Samsung theme is reversible and causing no performance impact (except live wallpapers and such).
>Many themes* to chose from, I recommend one of high contrast themes.
>Choose the homescreen wallpaper you want.
>Then chose from one of the hundreds of free icon packs on the Glaxy Store.
*use themes to get the keyboard, phone dialer, messages theme etc that you like best. As per above the rest are interchangeable.
That's the trick and the fix. It's time consuming but works well.

Gonna check out the Hex Installer, seems very promising.
It you want to stay on default you can use this at the bottom of developer options.
Themepark in Goodlock.

I just changed mine from "Default" to "Purple", just to make it really pronounced - could not find a single thing on the phone that had changed to "Purple"? I even rebooted just for laughs - still nothing, settings menus, it says "accent color" so I have no idea what that could even mean? I did spend about 30 minutes digging around the phone checking all kinds of stuff to make sure I didn't miss anything - finally put it back to "Default"!

Interesting
Samsung and/or the carrier may have disabled it.
Or it was an experimental beta feature.
Developer Options is fun... in Pie I have some that seem to do nothing that are indexed under "Feature Flags", an experimental feature.

I didn't know about this... Thanks for the tip.
What changes when you change the theme color? When does it change (after restart? Immediate?)?

This dev settings option is from stock Android and was originally the only way of changing accent colours on devices running stock before Google added its own theming option later. It has nothing to do with the way Samsung implements theming and accent colours in One Ui, and for that reason does not work on Samsung devices.
The only thing that the developer option did on my side, was to change the background colour of default system icons that got no icon.
Here are two examples : one black and the other cinnamon.
Why dont you try the following apps developed for Samsung and you found them in Galaxy store:
Good lock has a bunch of modules to create your unique theme
When you use Theme Park module to create a new them make sure you tap on the top right corner on the sun icon to choose the dark mode. Basically when you create a new them you can create one for light mode(sun icon) and another for dark mode(moon icon) in one package as one them.
If you dont like the quickpanel you can change the colour scheme on your like using Quick Star module
Keyboard you can make a new theme using Theme Park (Keyboard section) ,the possibilities are endless ,make sure again you tap on sun icon to select dark mode for keyboard ?
Then use Keys Cafe module,submenu "style your own keyboard " to add key/motion effect when typing
If you want to go even further, then you can create your very own keyboard ,customised the location of the keys and add functions to them
Check attachments and YouTube link of the theme keyboard
