Pixel Launcher Crashing on HTC 10 w/Lineage OS 16 - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Hello all, first post here at XDA . Been lurking in the weeds for many years.
I recently installed Lineage OS 16 and GApps Arm64 on my HTC10.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/xiaomi-redmi-note-4-snapdragon-roms-kernels-recoveries--other-development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3830602
Upon the first boot after installing Lineage I see all the default icons at the bottom of the home screen. Then the instructions say reboot to TWRP and flash GApps.
Upon next system boot after GApps install all the home screen Icons are gone except the camera and phone icon. Is there a way to fix this?
In addition, the main problem here is when pressing the home button and choosing "Pixel Launcher" the service stops and crashes.
Any advice would be appreciated in how to go about fixing Pixel Launcher. I did make sure I'm using the Pie 9.0 GApps and Arm-64 Architecture for my HTC 10.
In the mean time I'm going to continue reading the above linked thread, but it's about 110 pages, so I wanted to ask in case the answer isn't in there.
Thanks all, and I hope as I learn I can help out others. I'm a network guy but when I was in college I took C++, Java, and Data Structures and was top of my classes so maybe I can use some knowledge to help

I'm having the same pixel launcher problem

Before I saw your reply I ended up using "CPL" Custom Pixel Launcher from the Play Store. Seems to work good. Might try your suggestion as well just to see which one I like better.:good:

Fixed
I rebooted into TWRP, copied on my computer the file "/data/system/packages.xml" edited under <package name="com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher" ... and <perms>, I added the following lines:
<item name="android.permission.STATUS_BAR" granted="true" flags="0" />
<item name="android.permission.MANAGE_ACTIVITY_STACKS" granted="true" flags="0" />
(watch the screenshot)
saved the new xml and put back in /data/system/ with TWRP file manager... and the crash was fixed, no need to install other stuff!

[How-to] Change background of smart cover window of Find7a; flashable zip included

DISCLAIMER
Flash at your own risk.
INTRODUCTION
Hello everyone, This is my first time posting my own thread, I've been lurking around these forums since the release of Galaxy Note 1 (N7000) ,my first android phone. I've learnt to flash custom roms, root devices, etcetera. This is my first time I've extracted and repacked an apk file.
Anyways, I've learnt how to change the background wallpaper of the Smart Cover app whilst the cover is on the phone. I've used this site as my source; http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/m...-sfondo-per-le-custodie-easy-cover-etc.17149/
Credits goes to the author for the original apk and zip files. I am no app developer neither am I proficient in creating custom scripts or apk files. I just repacked the apk and zip files and replaced the jpg files located here:
\system\app\OppoLeather\res\drawable-hdpi\window_bg.jpg
\system\app\OppoLeather\res\drawable-xxhdpi\window_bg.jpg
​The first 3 flashable files were created by the aforementioned author from the linked forum.
INSTRUCTIONS
I flashed this using the custom ROM, Kulay OS v1.1 on my Find 7a X9006, on CWM Philz Touch Recovery 6.42.2.
I believe you will not face any problem using the stock ROM on any Custom Recovery.
First download the attached 7zip file, then extract
Choose your preferred flashable zip based on the attached screenshots in this thread
Copy it in the internal/External SD card of your phone
Reboot into recovery
Perform a wipe cache and Dalvik-cache (you will not lose your settings and apps installed)
Select the zip file you downloaded earlier and flash
Reboot the phone

I am using NILLKIN Thin PU Leather Smart Flip Pounch Cover Case for Oppo Find 7 X9007 if anyone asks.
Hi @leihuwan,
Can I include this work as an option during installation in Kulay ROM in my next release?

Gesendet von meinem Oppo Find 7
Hi leihuwan,
Thanks for the fine work. Working fine on my 9076, but it doesn't wake the screen when i open the smart cover. I have to double tap to wake it. Although not a big problem, would be nice to see a fix for it.
Once again thank you.
P.S tried four of your mods and the problem persists on all of them.
Hey,
I love this, thanks a lot! I always use BG 01, it's perfect.
However, it does not wake the device anymore if you use the new ColorOS 2.0.0i
Will you fix this? I'd love to continue using it, but if it prevents the device from waking up I can't
Thanks for this !
Each one of them, so much nicer than the stock one...
Great job.

What version of ColorOS are you using? Have you tried setting screen lock to None at Settings > Safety & Privacy > Screen Lock?

I am terribly sorry. Truthfully I am not a programmer and my knowledge in coding and packaging APK files is very limited. I only translated the instructions I've discovered at oppoforums seen at the link at OP. Maybe they changed something in the apk of the official ColorOS 2.0 release. If someone more knowledgeable than me is present, feel free to chime in.

Alright, thanks.
I read what you did and fixed the problem myself since it's pretty easy.
I took the original OppoLeather.apk of ColorOS 2.0.0i and modified the background of it and put it in your .zip
This works without problems for me and the device now wakes up properly. Yes, they did some changes to it in 2.0.0i.
If anyone else wants it, in the attachment is a working flashable .zip for ColorOS 2.0.0i with Background picture 1 of the original post.
please help...

Find the oppoleather.apk (it's somewhere in the /root partition of the phone)
copy it to your computer
rename it from .apk to .zip
you can now open it with any zip browser.
Replace the window_bg.jpg in /res/drawable-hdpi and /res/xxhdpi with a picture of your choice.
Make sure your picture is also a .jpg, has the exactly same name and resolution.
After you replaced the pictures in the .zip you can close your file browser and rename the file into .apk
Your apk is now modified.
To flash it:
Download any of the flashable .zip's the creator of this thread put up.
when you have a flashable .zip open it.
In there will be the OppoLeather.apk and some other files. Replace the OppoLeather.apk with your modified .apk.
Make sure your apk has the exact same name as the one you're replacing it with.
After replacing you can close your file browser and copy the modified flashable .zip on your phone.
Now you only have to flash it (see instructions in first post).
Hi! I know this is an old thread, but I have a question concerning this little mod. I recently got the N3 and since the cover had a square window, the default easy cover window of the OPPO N3 is a circle.
So, I decided to flash one of the modified packages provided by the op and they work great. However, there is a slight misalignment - unsurprisingly - due to the resolution and size differences between the 7/7a and the N3. What I would like to know, is whether it is possible to to decompile and modify the apk, in order to place the small window screen a bit higher. I have decompiled the apk myself, but I haven't yet figured which string to modify.
A small help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You can do it manually with a root enable file browser.
Find the OppoLeather.apk in /system/app/Oppoleather, copy it into your phone storage then transfer it to your computer, open the apk with 7-Zip, navigate to find window_bg_circle (.png or jpg), extract it, modify the picture while keeping its dimensions, put it back into the apk, transfer the apk in your phone storage. With the file browser, change the suffix of the original OppoLeather.apk into .bak, copy the modified apk into the /system/app/Oppoleather folder, modify its permissions according to the old file (i.e. rw-r--r--). That's it.
Thanks on behalf of many owners here. It's rare to see someone reply to something in such a helpful manner and in plain english instead of abbreviated jargon

You need Xposed for this to work.
And the Apps may simply not work on LP sorry
Thought I would drop by and let ya know & give ya a big THANKS for this. I have been looking for something different and this worked great on my nabi2 but still needs some tweaking. I know they share a lot of hardware and system files so I took a shot. Also I am running our latest update, 4.4.2 KK. :good:

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Yes it is working for me. I just need to play around with DPI setting. The ones stated above will not work for me. Then I will decompile the actual Launcher App and play around with the smali and values and see about adding features to it if possible...... for me of course. I'll share it after asking for permission though.
:good:
Oh I was not able to find the " Tabbed Settings " Xposed Module anywhere. Is it under a different name?

OnePlus 3 and Daydream VR

Hi all,
did you see this? http://www.daydreamdistrict.com/run-daydream-vr-oneplus-3/
This seems to be the only way to have the OnePlus 3 ready for Daydream. I still tried this customization (comment).
Has anybody did this, too? What can be the reason for unsuccess?

Was this a question or a hint? Yes, actually I do not have any Daydream VR Controller. But I didn't have any Icons in my Launcher.
By default the line "<feature name=”android.software.vr.mode” />" is set. The other has to copied in. And after reboot no nothing.

after adding those lines you have to go to the playstore or use APK mirror and install daydream app and daydream keyboard the line
"<feature name="android.software.vr.mode"/>" just enables the support but you still have to install the apps

If you start the device it first asks for PIN's (unlock SIM) and then the PIN (unlock device) or fingerprint or what ever ... and then there is nothing. You can open the taskmanager. In my case with the message "No recently opened Items". First I thought is is an error in OxygenOS Launcher but as I installed Nova (install apk through adb install, because no icons -> no Google Playstore) there was no icon, too. No screenshots from me ... if I do it again it will take me another 1 hour for repairing.

Unfortunately i don't know what to say as when i added the lines in my device booted normally and no crashes anywhere it was just useless for me as i dont have a second android device with gyroscope free lying around but i can assure you Google Daydream works flawlessly on oneplus 3

Did you set the correct permissions after editing the file? (Check the screenshot.) I suggest you use 'root browser' from the play store, edit the file and then set the same permissions as in the screenshot. Just long click the file and tap 'permissions'
As You can see Daydream VR is working perfectly with Oneplus 3 just need a second droid device with gyroscope or buy the actual daydream Vr headset and controller
FYI i am using daydream on lineage OS the New official one

Installing Icons

Been a Cyanagenmod user for years, now that my nexus 5x bootlooped to death (LG hardware issue) I upgraded to a Oneplus 3. I have installed everything pretty much to my liking but I am having some trouble with installing numix icons. I downloaded numix from f-droid (I don't use play store) and can't figure out how to enable them in my system.
This page:
/iwf1. com/revamp-your-android-device-looks-with-this-gorgeous-lineage-cyanogenmod-theme
says to " go to your device’ Settings -> Themes" to enable other icon packs (but I don't have that) and I don't remember what I did for CM 13.
I know that there were some changes to Trebuchet, etc. But is is still possible, right?
I would appreciate any help. Thanks
Must be TL;DR. Let me clarify: How do you add icons (like Numix or others) to Lineage? Is it even possible?
Think I figured it out on my own. Lineage 14 doesn't have a theme engine and I guess that is needed to install icons. I have read that Substratum is needed, but if I am patient, the old CM theme engine will be coming to Lineage 14.

Old Oxygen OS gestures

Hey everyone,
I am looking for either a magisk module or something that enables me to have old oxygen os sytle gestures (home from middle up swipe, hold from middle up for multitasking windows, back from left and right side swipe up). I know there is an app but it sucks so badly. I tried searching but could not find anything. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
