[Q] Layers Support on Stock Rooted Oxygen - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello fellow OP3 owners;
I recently rooted my OP3 and am a noob when it comes to Layers. I've only ever used CM theme engine. I'd like to stay on Oxygen until the binaries for dash charging are released.
My question is, does Oxygen support Layers? Now that I am rooted is there anything special I might need to do to get it working?
Anybody with expertise to discuss is appreciated. Hope everyone is enjoying their new device as I am
Cheers!

Just installed layers manager and layers showcase from the play store and it worked. Sweet. It also doesn't trigger the safetynet check so if you are using systemless root, Android pay should still work. The downside though is that many layers on the play store don't list compatibility with the OP3 so many of them are harder to get from the showcase app.
Edit: Should mention I'm on OOS 3.1.2 with systemless SuperSU.

Every theme *should* work but I've noticed most ones that theme the "Framework" have issues such as not booting or rebooting when you get power menu style popups.

I know that in Marshmallow RRO support is available on stock roms. Will the themes function properly on Oxygenos 3? Currently on 3.1.2. Thanks in advance
Anybody? I'm curious about layers support on OxygenOS as well

Doesn't seem to work, gets stuck in a bootloop every time I try.
As far as I remember from short period I had OP2, and even shorter I had OOS on it, Layers worked only partially, for apps that were not calling for colours from frameworks and frameworks layer was the problem a it was boot looping the phone or some other bug preventing from usage, I don’t recall exactly. That’s because of lack of custom RRO commits in OOS which are used in custom ROMs to make them fully themeable. You can apply a layer for an app and see if it works. If boot loop, go to TWRP, navigate in file manager to /system/vendor/overlays and delete that layer.
Layers worked for me. However enabling some framework layer resulted in bootloop. AOSP dialer+Contacts working fine.
Thanks for the info guys. Guess I'll flash a ROM later on.

Official Xposed for Nougat now available

Official Xposed Framework for Android Nougat is Here – Download your Favorite Modules Now!
Announcement by rovo89 in XDA thread
Anyone tried it yet? Please give your feedback here.
He also says Xposed for Oreo won't be a long wait!
Tried it on a stock build, rooted, BL unlocked, etc. Installs great. The Youtube adaway works well, greenify doesnt work yet. the others I use arnt supporting N yet. only a matter of time
either way, its safe to install, make sure you install the correct version, and wipe cache on boot, or else stuff breaks
I mainly used (on my Moto X Pure running MM): GravityBox (which is supposed to be ready), Youtube adaway, and Youtube background play. Greenify and Amplify too but not nearly as important on this phone. OG Youtube has given me pretty much the same capability using custom ROMs, though, along with some of the customization you get in Gravitybox. I do wonder about a potential performance hit running the Xposed framework, but it'd sure be nice having the full stock camera functionality again.

Can you please share the direct download link of what needs to be flashed/installed first? It would be great if you can mention the order of flash/install as well? This is for users like me who would be requiring some help.
Also, I have magisk 14 installed on my rooted g5 Plus and am seeing Xposed Installer in the Downloads section? Can you please confirm if this is the official one?

I'm using the GB beta. It's working well for me. No need to flash AOSP anymore :laugh:
GB has all the things I like to flash LOS for and I don't have to deal with any bugs :good:
I've got it running too, thanks to the favorable feedback getting me to take the plunge after not being on stock for several months. Am using the Youtube Adaway that appears under Installer/Download, then found a Youtube Background Playback module apk that seems to work fine, and the GravityBox/Nougat also as an apk (says it's alpha, not beta). No errors or problems so far and settings are holding after reboots.
I'm really not a big camera user but the stock camera is noticeably brighter and just works way better than those on the custom roms. Viper4Arise (flashed as a zip in TWRP) works on everything but SoundCloud, which I think is a nougat thing because it works on all the oreo roms I tried, but also didn't on most nougat roms.
I'd say it's definitely a go for those wanting to try it, just do some research to see if your preferred modules are working or not, and don't expect it to be perfect yet since it just came out.

[Discussion] Rootless Substratum [Andromeda] for Android Oreo

All right, I flashed the latest Open Beta on my OnePlus 5 and even successfully rooted it.
When the Andromeda Project was initially announced, I was very excited to try it out. Now that we finally have Oreo on our beloved OnePlus 3, I thought to try it out.
I followed all the instructions:
Installed Substratum > Installed Andromeda > Installed the Desktop Client and followed the guide completely.
Still, NO LUCK
Any of you guys got any workaround to make this thing work on our OP3? This thread is open to discussing all the possibilities! :highfive:
Yes I got a workaround.
I rooted it.

Even I have rooted bro I am talking about full theming support.. Not just partial support
It works no root
When I installed substratum, it prompted me for root access and I granted it. Guess I shouldn't have. Could you please some screenshots of the themed dialer/settings/quick settings?
Mine not working ?

March Update breaks substratum

*edit2*
You need to "compile & active" your favorite theme 5-10 times. It's like gambling ??

Confirmed: March update breaks Substratum on rooted stock Rom's and custom ROM's with OMS
____________________________________________________________
Hi guys,
I updated yesterday my Pixel (March Security Update & Pixel 2016) and after setting up I want to use the Swift Dark Theme (Center Clock for O don't work too). So Substratum compile everything without problem and after a reboot still everything white. Someone else have problems with Substratum?
Confirmed. It did break Substratum on a stock non-rooted phone. Not sure if the rooted ones still work. Hopefully the Substratum team will fix it soon.

No problems here on rooted (Magisk v16) stock. I did have to apply the themes about 6-8 at a time, or I had issues like those described in the OP.

Thanks man
Build and enable overlays..reboot..go back in to subs and select enable and Bam!! Took me a while of playing with it the last two days but this "seems" to work
Apply the theme.
Reboot.
Go back to Substratum (bind with andromeda if not rooted).
Apply the same theme again.
Mostly works!!
Reboot.
Enable again in Substratum.
All works!!
Note: Am on stock unrooted.

It actually is just a bug with Package installer in the March update.
Many people approached us and thinks this is a big problem.
Instead of constantly Building and Applying...
1. Install all overlays you plan to use (Build and Update)
2. Reboot
3. All overlays installed before the reboot can be enabled/disabled. If you build and compile again, a reboot will update it.
NOTE: Building overlays and installing them IS NOT the fix. Please do not spread that fix.

What was wrong with cm theme engine that we gave up on it

Nobody gave up on it, it died when cm died and Lineage haven't resurrected it...
@nicholaschum - apart from reverting the two commits (in six files) and building from source so that rebooting isn't necessary again, has a simpler alternative been found?
There were mentions of a couple of fixes in the designers chat but there were no references.

Just need to revert one file and one line only. You don't have to revert the security patch.
Seems like a lot of developers believe tampering with what a security patch committed is such a big deal. If they actually read the code, a one liner is easily doable.

The file and line to revert would be useful - as a themer building from source is new to me!

Thanks @nicholaschum, that's sorted it - no reboot necessary now :good:
I am facing so many issues.
Microphone not working, phone getting restarted frequently and hangs.
This is happening only after March update and the pixel team does not have a fix yet. Can't call this a flagship service. Customer service is very much cool and calm after thousands of pixels are almost dead for a few days till now.
No response from Google yet.

Switching from Apple with Jailbreak. Looking for Instagram++, Watusi etc.

Hi guys,
I bought a Oneplus 7T and it's my first Android device. I successfully rooted my device and now I'm testing it to see if it fits my needs.
I'm quite spoiled from my iPhone with Jailbreak. App quality is excelent and there are thousend of tweaks which I can install over Cydia.
Is there anything similar on Android like Instagram++, Watusi etc.? I don't like to see all the ads in the app between stories or constantly after a few minutes on youtube.
I can get rid of this all on my iPhone but not on Android.
I also have AdAway with some hosts files downloaded but they don't work inside an app.
Hope you guys have some tips for me :angel:

You'll most likely want to install Xposed Framework through the Magisk Modules (I'm assuming that's what you used for root). Xposed Framework has a number of modules that I think you'd be using (very similar to Cydia).
Unclutter IG is an example xposed module.

I haven't used XPosed since... My note 5 I think?
How is the Xposed scene now adays? Do a lot of the old modules work on the latest version?
