[Q] RRO Layers? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm just curious whether anyone uses RRO layers to theme stock Lollipop? I found nothing related to our device and RRO anywhere on these forums. I'll probably give it a go myself when I get off work, but in the meantime just wanted to see if anyone out there had done this successfully, or whether it's even possible.

any luck with layers?

look guys someone has to get on the project, it's a shame to loose rro layers functionality..
there is a large group of rooted users that stick with stock rom cause of the moto display and moto hand gestures.. it would be amazing to be able to theme the custom rom.

From what I understand, Google is introducing RRO layers support into Android M, so by default in the new AOSP builds should come with RRO support, that's if I'm understanding it correctly.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-m-dev-preview-adds-functional-rro-framework/

so.. in about 2 years we are gonna have layers on moto x 2014.. and in about 8 months i'm gonna change phones so..
no hope..

[Q] Is it possible to install ios or ios function to vogue?

Hi guys..today I saw very exciting video looks like below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jr1A8h7OVA
Some people say that it is ios, but others think it is a another theme.
They say it is miui rom (refer http://www.miui.com)
miui rom is chinease rom until now(they don't have any plan to other language),
so I don't understand it.
However, when I see the video, it is very fast and has good function like ios
whether it is ios or not.
So, I want to know is it possible to install ios to htc vogue?
If it is possible, I really hope to see it. But, although it is not possible, is it
possible to execute same function ( moving and deleting icon like ios : shaking ^^)?
If someone know this, please let me know it.
Thanks and sorry for my poor english.
Nope!
Android can only be ported to the vogue, because it is opensource and Ios is a lot of things but NOT opensource. We would have seen a port of WebOS even sooner, because it is also linux based than Ios, but WebOS also isn't opensource so....
Maybe??
Okay I doubt any of us Dev's would even think about porting Ios to the Vogue and no one that I know of has every gotten IOs to run on any device but an apple device. It is definetly MIUI.
I will take a look at possibly porting MIUI or a simplified version of it to the Vogue/Kaiser/Polaris.
you wont see a miui rom for vogue either, since its all compiled for arm v7 processors which isnt what we have (hero is in the same boat)
I am creating an MIUI theme from modded launchers and a miui icon pack and a bunch of resized apks from the hero forum
Thank you so much and I am look forward to see it

Wow!! That' s great.. I hope to see it. Cheers!!
It is a chinese version android system based on original Android 2.2
It seems that it doesn't support Vogue now.
The MIUI .apks decompile nicely with apkmanager, then they need to be edited for the vogue/kaiser/polaris screen and recompiled for arm v4 (is it v4 or v5?)

MiUi-Like CM7 T-Mobile theme Chooser

Hey guys I just wanted to share my ideas for the t-mobile theme Chooser in cm7 roms.
Basically I have this idea of letting the user choose some aspects of a theme they want and do not want.
Say you like the statusbar from this theme, but you don't like the looks of the icons, this would make it so that you could choose the icons from another theme without the hassle of always going on a PC and moving stuff with 7zip.
It would also be cool if it was possible to easily change the colors of some elements like the fonts, bgcolor, highlights and other stuff.
I just wanted to share this in case any of the devs would is interested in making this happen, or is it even possible? I find no reason for it not to be. I heard it was in MiUi(hence the title) although I can't be so sure since I've never used MiUi.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought of this, I just couldn't find a thread about it.
Well, thanks for your time

As MIUI are going open source there is no reason why CM9 may actually include the MIUI theme system the same way the CM team implemented Theme Chooser when it was open sourced by T-Mobile.
Although Cyanogen Mod feature suggestions may be more likely to be seen by a dev on their own forums.

So far, hasn't MIUI just made their Apps open source?
That's cool, but would the MiUi theme engine work well with legacy devices?

Any thoughts of Theme Engine?

Hey, I may be the thousandth person asking this, but I was wondering if this ROM will get Theme Engine. It would be a great thing if we see a theme engine since Omni is my favorite ROM, but unfortunately, I love Arz's Themes. Thanks!

There have been discussions off and on about this. It's something I'd like to bring back eventually, problem is:
1) The "old" theme engine did not perform well on KitKat
2) The "new" CM theme engine is tens of thousands of lines of code that has a tendency to be buggy and problematic. No one so far has had the free time to try and get it properly integrated and fixed up AND keep maintaining it afterwards.
In general, the larger a change is in lines of code, the more caution we take when taking that change from an external source. We got lucky with ActiveDisplay that squadzone took ownership of it and managed to pull off the miracle of fixing it, but we're all a bit cautious after the nightmare that was AD.

Omni is very close to aosp, purity is very close to aosp. I brought theme engine to purity from scratch. Maybe if somebody wants, they can pick things from here. I dont think there will be much conflict, rest I know how big developer you guyz are

Also, I'm not interested in CM. Too many of headaches at once (NO THANK YOU). I rather use PA, which is quite good and works good even on my ancient Galaxy S, even without OC. No need to even stop apps, yet, it works flawlessly. Hence I don't think I fall short on RAM, no freezes, idk what you mean by Lockups

No it really isn't. The theme engine still causes all kinds of headaches without any themes used.
Only if I knew how to make an unofficial build with theme engine :/
not that its important for anybody...but if omni integrates theme engine, im switching to one of the last roms without theme engine^^
as themer i liked older times with theme engine, but now i think its some sort of useless. overhyped/overprized/not-systemwide-themed themes, which will get limited support and quick lose any support.
if someone needs theme engine, why not use one of the many roms with integrated theme engine? (yeah i know, what an argument)
if you wanne theme omnirom, why not make a flashable.zip theme?
see alen1901 and his purity theme, sinply made flashable.zip theme. easy to do so. no need for theme engine :silly:

Shouldn't there be a poll on whether or not Omni should include Theme Engine or not?

I think that's being a bit overly harsh. A theme engine does have its place - there are plenty of good themes out there.
The thing is, it has to be done RIGHT if it's done - that's why the cherry-picks from CM haven't really gone anywhere in review. (There are a variety of reasons, including the fact that I know from looking at the list of commits there is stuff missing, and also the commits were submitted by someone that I don't think is going to be able to fix any issues that might come up on their own.). And right now, we just don't have the time to do it *right*.
I took a crack at integrating theme engine from DU which is "Omni-based"...
Well theme engine is a nightmare to integrate unless you've been routinely cherry-picking CM for ages. It has all sorts of undocumented dependencies.
If someone has a COMPLETE list of all Theme Engine commits AND all dependencies (the latter is a *****, since in CM's case they put in the T-Mobile theme engine, then partially reverted it leaving only some bits) I might take a look again. I'm not looking at the stuff thats on Omni's gerrit now since someone squashed the AOSP runtime resource overlay commits into the TE commits, or didn't even bother including them.
I find this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585844&page=201, this rom have two variants: one based on CM, another on AOSP. In this post wrote, what @scott.hart.bti merged new theme engine with his rom.

I think you are refering to my latest patchset
At the point uploading the patch, I tried to find all commits from CM, but not that easy, many changes get merged there every day.
Sure, i messed up the existing commit from old theme engine.
It takes much longer for me to check compiler issues etc., in real life i am far away from linux, android and other stuff (orthopedic assistanz).
I have to learn everything myself, started compileing roms in december 2013.
There is not much help, only google is the best friend in this direction - and i don't have that much time.
I wonder, why no one else tried it? There are hundrets of ETAs about it, but no one tried.
The source of the rom @Bishop1312 refering to seems to have all / most CM commits for theme engine.

It was someone else that submitted the patchsets... And there are no ETAs about it, not a single member of the team has given an ETA.
As to why no one else has tried it - lots of people are busy, and also, there's the fact that this particular feature is MASSIVE - on the order of 12,000 lines of code in frameworks/base alone. That's a lot of places for things to go wrong. People on the Omni team are VERY nervous about taking in large chunks of code we don't understand from external sources after the ActiveDisplay mess. (It took a long time for someone to take ownership of it and fix the issues, and I'm afraid not many of us have the free time to be taking ownership of something that large right now.)

No, since links to thread pages (as opposed to specific posts) break when viewed by anyone who has their posts per page count changed.

I meant user asking for ETAs, not team member.
I know how.much work to do, i tried earlyer but failed...
Do you know why i love Omni & Slim?
Only working things get merged better to have a Stable Rom instead half working or buggy features - that makes a huge dufferents. Other Roms are controlled by the user - not good all the time.

Ugh. Overall, I'm fine with most stuff being squashed, but the one exception is the runtime resource overlay stuff. That should not have been squashed in, and it makes applying the commit very difficult. (Because I refuse to merge anything that has the runtime resource overlay stuff squashed in. While theme engine does depend on it, it's a separate thing that has multiple potential uses.)

Looking for help on what direction to go in old school rom for nexus 6

Hey guys and girls, i am new here but i wanted to post because i couldn't find anything on what direction i need to go in, here is what I want to do. I have a nexus 6 and I want the older moto X or moto E look, like the signal bars and the full icon setup wrapped in a rom based off older android or even kitkat but i want the original lockscreen I will post a picture of what I'm trying to do. Keep in mind i am new and have no clue where to start. I can dual boot my machine with Ubuntu or other flavor of linux if need be. Any information in the right direction would be great. Also just a heavy themed rom of lollipop would work but i hate aftermarket launchers.
To get this you will only be looking at theming. No drivers exist for this device that support the n6. Not impossible but would take a lot of development work that no-one would be willing to do.
After market launcher will be the only way to get that home screen

You're not really going to find a good tutorial on how to build legacy ROMs for a new device. Not to be funny, but the only asset that will help with this is a huge amount of android development experience to get a fully working legacy ROM. Probably more experience than most people at XDA have here. Its really a job for an expert.
This "theme" is all Google, nothing to do with Motorola. We have pure android and this is what it looks like. If you want to theme status bar icons, look into xposed modules. Surely some can do that for you.

Themes

love my z5 overall - just come from a n6 after having nexuses since the first one, but always loved the omnibalance design of sony's - my green z5 is just gorgeous!
BUT - i cant help but be really disappointed in the themes - they don't actually change any of the notification shade, or barely any of the settings page.
maybe i've been spoiled with layers from customer roms, or cm themes. But wasn't it Sony that came up with RRO and put it into the code? Yet their own phone's themes are disappointing...
Oh yes.. Their themes don't change a lot, but there are a good themes like my theme " PRO PalAtial ™ " which change a lot in your phone and I will support more in the future updates..
- But the only wrong thing with it is that u must have root.
And u was using a n6 phone which don't have any themes built in.. U should flash a custom Rom to have it but in Sony it is already built in..
