Features
No need to install CyanogenMod custom ROM.
Can use multiple themes at a time.
After the setup is done the applying theme process is quick.
Note
I only tested this thing on Jelly Bean device and like 2 years back, haven't tested afterwards. Dev stopped development while back. Also only CM10 theme.
Alternatively I would suggest HK Theme Manager.
does this support new CyanogenMod theme engine themes? ?

I don't know the answer of this but what I can tell you is, I tried this and it worked successfully with the themes I installed.
Neat
I was looking for a replacement themer app for certain roms that do not use the CM themer cause I cant seem to get it ported or aligned right and their is no forums that teach you how. I just wish I did not have to restart the phone to install the theme if I could just somehow figure it to just do the systemUI that would be much more tasteful....Thanks :good:

Hi
I installed Cydia Substrate app and it says : your device is not fully compatible . . . and symbols :

I'm runing android EMUI stock 4.4.2 on huawei honor 4c.
Not worked.

It's because it needs to be installed in /system/app
Try doing this
Instructions:
*You can try to install this .apk over top of your current market, but it may not work. If it won’t, then you will need to be rooted and follow the instructions below.
1. Download the file from above (Market-3.4.4.apk) to your SD card.
2. In Root Explorer, find the file you just downloaded and copy it.
3. Move into /system/app and hit the R/W button to mount – then paste the file.
4. Find Vending.apk and rename it to something like Vending.apk1.
5. Long press on Market-3.4.4.apk and rename it to Vending.apk.
6. Afterwards, long press on it again and choose “Permissions.”
7. Change the permissions to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. Press “OK”, reboot and enjoy the new market.
Let us know if you run into any issues.

Thanks for the post... but i am still having problem buying apps.
Simple translate:
Error
An error occured, please try again.
I get build version 3.3.12 when doing that. is that correct?
I did the same. Then out of exasperation, within root explorer, I ran the APK, was prompted to overwrite my other system app, and I did it. I assume the fixed permissions had something to do with it, but it worked for me.
I noticed a huge difference in speed and loading, well done Google

Can't even open it, keeps FCing. Was it cause I deleted the old vending.apk?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Fix permissions, reboot. Still not working ? Must be kernel problem, not sure. Works for 90% of the people flawlessly.
Problems related to buying apps could be (not asserting) server side problems which many faced during sale.
Well I am running a Trinity kernel, which one do you recommend? I just want my market to work I changed permissions like said in the past posts

Try fixing permissions through Recovery or Rom Manager also.

Flashing right now, will post back in a few hours and let you know how it is running.
Edit: Flashing was smooth, installed the MIUI theme from goo.im and then reboot and am getting constant FC's on com.android.phone. As soon as I hit okay to accept it another one pops up. I am not sure if this is theme related or the ROM itself.
Also, there are no GAPPS included but I found them here: http://goo.im/devs/ChameleonOS/gapps
Edit 2: I tried installing the GAPPS from the above link and got stuck in a bootloop.

I just installed with the gapps from Cyanogen mod, the latest one on 4.3
It works perfectly
Btw, yea it's 4.3 if someone's wonders
I found a bug!
When you go in landscape mode, the navbar is completely bugged, and not possible to use.
I can not install any app that needs root, they say that I don't have root, is anyone else facing something like this?

Check that you actually enable root, its not enabled by default so go into about phone and tap build # until it says you are now a developer to unlock the development settings where root is.

@cj360 any way u can build this for the mb886 because the xt925 build works great but auto rotation and data wont work properly
Sent from my MB886 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Obviously cause its a different device. But I would rather help someone else build it as xt926,xt925,xt907 have one or two changes between them and when things work on one they'll work on all three and vice versa. As well as I just dont want to build for more than three devices.
Thanks mate, now my only problem is thoso random reboots when I try to listen something with a bluetooth headset

If you want to do this yourselves.
1st Download and install xposed framework installer to your phone (root needed)
Get it here
Check framework is the latest in framework
.Then in download section of xposed framework search for resflux and install
Or get it here
Then in modules section of xposed enable resflux and reboot
Open reflux and select laboratory
Then click the app you want nodded
Then simply use the up to select and change texts. Colours back rounds etc.
Then to apply . Press back and reboot
Use only png images for back rounds
IL give a more detailed guide when I get to my pc.
Has anyone tried this yet? I just tried and i changed colors of alot of things in gear manager on phone and rebooged has in still phone this same.When i went back into theming app the colors where still changed to what i changed them to but in gear manager they didnt change.I have it checked in exposed so that isnt the problem.Do you need to clear cache of gear manager or whatever app your trying to theme? It seems like a good app if it works rite.
So i just looked on the developers page and it was confirmed working on a few devices and alot of stock roms.I have galaxy s4 with hyperdrive rom so maybe it doesnt work on my phone.
No no. Ita not the app or phone. You mustnt have changed the right thing when going to look for it. Its Quite tricky . Trial and error will help you perfecr it

If you are on stock using xposed, then download flat style bar indicator module in xposed in that you can make like that customized label.

I haven't tried using layers for a very long time now, last I checked it was still RRO layers manager by BiySyko development.

The layer.apk's are in 'system/vendor/overlay'.
A layer manager isn't necessary; you can copy your layers manually with a rootexplorer.
The procedure is simple. Download layers and extract the layer.apk's to a directory.
Select the layer.apk's you want to use and copy the layers to system/vendor/overlay and reboot.
Yes, use Substratum instead of Layers Manager. Works the same, but you'll have to uninstall your current layers then install the Substratum versions. Works better and doesn't require reboots even though I still do as a precaution.

You guys make it difficult.
Why use other versions. Just backup the layers from 'system/vendor/overlay' and restore the layer-directory with a rootexplorer.
Sorry for the stupid noob question, but how do you use this app? I downloaded it from the play store, downloaded some themes, ace tried to apply it. I know i need something called Masquerade, but i can't seem to find that anywhere to download. Thanks for the help!
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Masquerade is supposed to be included with Substratum. Substratum settings has an option that checks for the presence of Masquerade. If you don't get any results from that check, then something on your device blocked the install.
Are you rooted?

Masquerade unfortunately needs something called OMS support. It must be somehow enabled in the rom but I also dont know how to do that. There is one rom for sure which supports OMS, hence Masquerade called nutty rom. If there is support for Masquerade when you start the app, it is asking for root for substartum, and after that root access for Masquerade. After i uninstalled nutty rom and installed stock android 7 which apperatnly doesnt have OMS enabled by default, when I start the app it doesnt ask for root for Masquerade, only for substratum and can only use it as the old layers app, meaning each time you have to reboot. With Masquerade you dont have to reboot, if you change theme, it does it on the fly. Without Masquerade support you still have to reboot, and also cant change font and some other stuffs I dont know about.
