After seeing that pixel 2 launcher changes color theme according to the wallpapers color i was wondering what if i install the pixel 2 launcher to my pixel XL, after all this future was implemented to android oreo and why not working for original pixels too? but after i tried i realized it didnt work. is there any way to enable this future?
You can try the Android 8.1 Oreo Developer Preview.
Added WallpaperColors API
Android 8.1 Developer Preview (API level 27) adds support for managing wallpaper colors. This feature lets you create a WallpaperColors object from a bitmap, a drawable, or by using the first three most visually representative colors. You can also retrieve details of the first three noticeable colors of a wallpaper.
Edit: I can confirm that it works with the preview.
Hi, I have a quick question for all of you. We know that Roboto is the standard font that we need to use for our Android App. Google Material design specification mentions about Roboto font.. I would like to know can designer/developer use different fonts like Open Sans, sans-serif etc for designing the android UI. Could you please suggest how to use different fonts for Android design? Does it break any rules or does it work in every android screen density? Is it mandatory to use the Roboto font?

Hi,
I read your query and would like to share my experience regarding the fonts used in Android applications. Roboto is the standard font because its visual effects are nice on the device but, it doesn't make it a mandatory choice while app development. You may go for whichever font suits your application until it doesn't make the app interface messy. Also, while choosing the font, you should not try to opt for multiple varieties of styles for a single application. One font style is enough to make app text clear and effective.
Thanks.
I know the themes app has don't changing option but it uses Huawei hwt files. I don't quite understand how they work. Before this I'd just use magisk module to switch my emojis to EmojiOne/Joy Pixels. But now I'm lost cause there aren't any EmojiOne/Joy Pixels theme made for Huawei that I can just download. Neither do I know how to make them myself. Neither do I have root or can root to use magisk modules.
Besides I found a really cool font. I noticed if I use iOS emojis, the font also gets switched. I wanna have Dubai font for Arabic, custom English font and EmojiOne/joy pixels emoji. Wonder if it's possible to mix and match like that
Whoops I screwed up, how do I move this to questions section?
For some reason my OnePlus 7T just updated to Android 12. The GMail widget is almost unreadable in the new material design.
Is there a way to download an APK for the previous version (before this material design look)?
Hi folks,
I'm a happy owner of a Xiaomi Note 11 phone and a very unhappy user of the latest Android 13 based LOS20, due to the impossible color scheme introduced in Android 12.
I'm basically using the dark theme and I have a really hard time reading the usual (system font) text, which is small and has a really bad contrast being by default grey-blueish. I found no (documented) way to change that system font color and LOS20 has a series of basic colors (one dumber than the other) in the Wallpaper & Style settings, none of which having a white default color.
I enabled high contrast in the Display settings, the system font got really white, but if it gets displayed over a non-black background, then a stupid halo like shadow is displayed around it making the reading again very difficult.
Here I found more complaints about Google's UI colors choice since Android 12:
In Android 12 can you manually change text color without using themes or changing wallpaper? - Google Pixel Community
I tried that Repainter App and it didn't even start on my LOS without Google Apps subsystem (that's why I run LOS in the first place).

I'm wondering why the LOS devs didn't correct this UI design issue, since there are a lot of voices (plenty of links on goggle search) complaining about this poor UI/color design choice by Google since Android 12.
I'd be very happy if some of you more knowledgeable could point me to what file to edit/hack (phone is rooted) in order to set the system font on white.
Thanks in advance!
