[Half Theme] PurpleHaze [Layers / Overlay / RRO]

This theme is for use with ROMs that expose the RRO (layers) code. If you don't know what that means, this theme probably isn't for you.
Themed: SystemUI, Settings, Frameworks
Tested: Nexus 6, 1440p, 400dpi, Android 5.1
Recommended: no less than 720p resolution
Hi All,
Introducing PurpleHaze.
Please note, I have also included my White Notification Text layers for Gmail and Inbox. No theming to the app, but just ensures white notification text on dark backgrounds.

Oh and before someone asks, Google "Atlantis Nebula" if you're after my wallpaper

Hi,
No. Its for ROMs that have RRO / layers. This means the ROM must have the RRO commits added at source-code level, then use the "layers" application to apply.

I see. So I guess this won't be available when using CM12 nightlies and it's theming engine?
Sorry, but I haven't no idea what PRO / layers are. I will look it up in the morning

Ah, no. Layers is kind of the alternative to cm theme engine. Some of RRO was already in AOSP but not being utilised much. Work has been done to expose and improve that and it gives us layers. Unfortunately though, it cannot work in co junction with CMTE.

very good colors

Do you plan make with another colors, like green?

I'll be updating the themes at some point but I'm very busy at the moment due to a promotion at work. I hadn't really considered a launcher theme because really the only launcher I could do would be Google and that wouldn't be useful for most people. What launcher did you mean?

Layers

Hey all. Not new to android scene but new to note 4. In the past I've mostly used cm's theming engine (on nexus devices and one+). Now however, I just flashed a ROM which has layers installed and I'm at a bit of a loss with something: I downloaded a few layers themes from play store but when I open layers app, I only see one theme. I see icons for other themes in my app drawer. I click on them and see a button which reads install. I click on it and I get taken back to the layers manager app, and there's no new themes. What am I doing wrong?
Also, can anyone recommend a relatively stock but extremely de bloated ROM for the t mo variant (N910T3)? I see so many ROMs but not many for t mo (that I can tell). The ones I do see include a bunch of extra crap.
Thanks in advance.

how to use layer theme?

Im on shamu rom that supports layer theme, but every time i download some themes (Layer) on google store, it looks crap, horrible and worse ever theme ive seen in the history of mankind!
only settings are themed and some apps and the rest are BLAH!
i want to download a layer theme that makes my phone looks very different (Just like cyanogen theme, samsung theme and all kinds of theme in the google play).
PLEASE HELP!

Layers are not touching everything we expect. I can understand your reaction. This how I tackled the layers.
I found out that layers are stored in 'sdcard/Overlays'. Selected layers need to be in System/vendor/overlay.
After reboot the selected layers are copied to 'vendor/overlay' and become active.
I have downloaded some layers apps on my PC and extracted the layer.apk's from the the layers-apps.
The layers were sorted in groups: System - G-apps - 3rd party apps.
System layers have in the name: Framework, SystemUI, Settings, Supersu and Velvet.
I transfered the system-layers to System/vendor/overlay with a root explorer. (I do not use a layer-manager).
After reboot the layers worked. It is necessary to use these system layers from the same dev. Otherswise I can be a mass.
From the G-app layers I tried some but not all worked 100%.
At this moment for G-apps and 3party apps I do not use layers.
I prefer the hardcoded black themes of the TBO-team or apps with an option to change the theme.

Hope this helps a bit.

One and only layers theme that I've been using and haven't uninstalled like the rest is called Prime. The combination of colours you can mix and match for most of the layouts is amazing.

Hello.
I have a rooted Nexus 6p and I installed today Subtratum Theme Engine with the theme of Deity.
Because I do not like (dark text, sometimes illegible on dark background), I uninstalled it. It unfortunately remains the dark background in all applications (settings, wattsapp, contacts, messages, etc ...).
How can I restore the original settings?
Thank you.

You will get way way way way more help in the Substratum thread where the devs and many themers hang out.
This thread was asking for Substratum compatible ROMs
edit - you need the TBO theme compatible apps to solve the white on white issue with GMail and other Google apps that have hardcoded colors..

There is a fix to this. Go to accessibility settings and turn on high contrast text. Everything would be read able. I reverted to stock ui because the text looked awful, readable but awful.

Substratum works fine with Pure Nexus.

Black Theme Android/Apps

Hello,
I tried to find Dark/Black themes for Z3 Compact which could theme settings, calendar, contacts and a lot of other apps but without success.
I also tried some Xposed module for theming but all of them were not working
I would like something really close to the one made by @Rajeev (dark and blue) like here
Or something like eXistenZ from @niaboc79 like here
Sadly his rom is not working on our Z3 Compact
I am currently using Slimm 3.1 Rom from @Wajk
If someone could help me, i will be really greatful :laugh:

I also tried Substratum theme engine, and Layers manager but the apps doesn't start then FC ?

You should flash something about the Layers you can't directly use it AFAIK, also I don't know any other way than Layers on MM to edit the apps as you requested. Even with Layers, it is very risky, it might screw your system up, make sure to have a back-up! When it comes to eXistenZ, it is a highly customized ROM so don't compare it with stock

Substratum works for MM. I've mixed a few of the best free, cheap and quality themes I've tested. Theming quality varies and compatibility can be inconsistent. Takes some time to test. But I've done that so can share. I'll list in order of quality preference. That way you choose the priority theme's overlays when there are duplicates.
Material Glass is a free unique dark theme. Has transparency to wallpaper throughout and for pop ups. Can use all of them. Don't like it's XDA labs though. Also has two bugs if using it's Android System, volume slider hides foreground app and keyboard switcher reboots device.
Swift Black is a cheap quality pack still in active development and updating to substratum. Pretty much all of it's overlays are great except Chrome's window heading clashes. It's Systemui and Android System are standouts priority above Material Glass the latter only because of prior mentioned bugs.
InversionUI is a good free pack. Not as good as Swift Black but if preferring free can be a close replacement. For example it's play store ratings colour clashes white. Google calendar, catlog and news & weather are unique to it. Calendar status bar icons clash black, but using white icons and clock changing in gravitybox is a workaround.
Dark Material free from play store for it's unique facebook and instagram. Substratum itself only seems to black with this one.
These have YouTube which is just it's setting menu aparrently and eBay just it's notification. I think Android System overlays clash black text in Sony's messaging, I just swapped to using Google's Messenger instead.
They're actually the best combo. I tried some others but had no results or crashes. Haven't tested all as these fill everything already. Can't complain with the results!
edit: for posterity's sake using xposed mod Qs X tiles per row can help theme notifications colours. Also xposed mod LPThemer works on MM: under it's Status bar tab, enabling notification text colour can change notification button text colours.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! That is really helpful. I'd like to ask for more info, e.g. you meant those themes↓?
• Swift Black (Play Store says Z3C is not compatible )
• InversionUI
• Dark Material (Play Store says Z3C is not compatible )
Have you tried AospUI Black od AospUI Dark?

This information is a little old so some things don't function anymore. Development for Substratum has moved onto OMS and older legacy support is discontinued. Some app updates have broken overlays too. I'm using two Z3C's, one on LineageOMS 14.1 which uses a new different mixed combination of packs including the old legacy Material Glass. The old MM stock I've just stopped using an overlay when it breaks.
Yes that's Swift Black, they stopped updating legacy awhile ago. Maybe if you can purchase I can provide the original last updated v8.7 APK to use. Yes, that's InversionUI, but I don't use any of it anymore. Dark Material has the package name com.chummy.darkmaterial_layers, I don't use it anymore. I haven't tried that, I just use my old stock MM as a backup so not changing things there unless needed. I just keep my LineageOMS 14.1 updated currently.
If might help so this is how my old remaining MM is set up:
Material Glass v3.2 old 3.2 for how the theme accent is preferred white still before it was changed to grey
- Android System (Use GravityBox to set media tweaks, volume panel timeout to 1 second to help with the overlay bug. Can use Tasker with Secure settings plugin to create a Keyboard switcher to get around the crashing default selector)
Material Glass v3.4 beta One of the last betas from the github
- Tags, Trusted Face, Phone Call Management, Google Play Store, GravityBox, eBay, Translate, Google, GBoard, Package Installer, Kernel Adiutor, Instagram (old version)
Material Glass v3.4 I think these were just apps I installed later so I used the latest and last release
- Messages, Android System WebView
Swift Black
Calendar, Google Text-to-speech, Hangouts, Keep, MX Player, Media Storage, Messenger Lite, News & Weather, Phone Services, Skype, VLC, Viber
I kept a note of when an overlay stopped working in case I needed to reinstall after a clean ROM. I had DocumentsUI and Gmail removed from Material Glass. I had Docs, Drive, Google Play Store, Phone Call Management, Translate and eBay removed from Swift Black. Of course I haven't tested everything and theres apps I don't have too, but that's what works for me and can be used as a guide.

Sorry, I haven't had Z3c for over 5 years... I don't think those files exist anymore. You can use Apktool right on the phone to mod your system apps. That's mainly how I did everything.
One of my favorite phones, though. If Sony did more updates, I might still have it.
