Marshmallow keyboard and launcher - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Since I've installed marshmallow update this morning I am facing two issues:
1) the accent color doesn't match the keyboard color for suggestions (eg. Black accent has green keyboard).
I have this problem since Lollipop but I fixed it with a Black theme downloaded here: unfortunately it doesn't fix the keyboard color anymore
2) the launcher has only a 5x4 grid
I prefer the old 4x4, that had also better icons (and size) for folders.
Is there a way to go back to the old Launcher of lollipop?
Thanks

Notification bar too slow

My notification bar is hidden while in lockscreen but when i unlock my phone it takes a second to appear in homescreen. In addition i have set the notification bar to transparent and it takes an other second to turn transparent. Its so annoying, can i fix it somehow?
Im running Revolution HD 12.2 with Nova Launcher and Widget Locker
It's a "bug" of the stock rom, and it's also in the ARHD.
For example, i'm on Viper, and i can use the black statusbar, so i don't have this bug
so there is no way to fix it?

You can try to theme the statusbar to dark and see.
In ViperOne, with a black statusbar, there isn't the issue.
Can you link me a statusbar?
Just installed StatusBar+ didn't work out. Someone an idea how to fix this?
Mine dosnt do that. It might be because of 1 of your apps
I got Widgetlocker and Novalauncher Prime. Also tested Apex Launcher but didn't work either. No solutions?

Any suggestion for other decent Launcher?

What did you do for stock Android look?

Just trying to get some ideas for how to get a stock android look/feel as much as possible on the S6 without rooting it.
Interested to try out the material design theme along with the google now launcher when it's available.
What do changes have you guys made for a stock look and feel on your S6?
In case you hadnt seen it, try this. http://www.xda-developers.com/stock-lollipop-theme-now-available-for-s6-theme-engine/
As above, that theme and the Google Now launcher should do the job
EDIT: Google Now launcher works, but it reverts to stock Samsung app icons
I use nova launcher and Material theme and its great! You can see here https://youtu.be/l0cLB1fPHOg
Plus these are my favourite 3 themes available if you decide for other look https://youtu.be/l0cLB1fPHOg
Vanilla Android Experience on Galaxy S6
Yes Google Now is the way to go and get the Material Theme form the Samsung Theme Store. It's performance s very good and has no noticeable Bugs.
I use the new Material theme from Samsung theme store, then use Nova Launcher (with lollipop animations/looks selected) and use a lollipop icon pack
Cool!
I've ended up going with the Google Now Launcher and the Material Design theme (although i want to use the Material Dark theme if/when it makes it into the theme store)
I managed to get a icon pack that worked with google now launcher - although it doesn't change the icons within the app draw unfortunately. Maybe i'll try look for another icon pack.
Gonna keep tweeking but at the moment very happy with the google now launcher and material design theme to give me that stock look/feel.
Action launcher looks exactly like Google now launcher but is more customizable and supports icon packs. it's got some pretty awesome features too
What would be nice is If you could change the status bar icons e.g. Singal, battery etc to AOSP icons.
Google now launcher + FlyingBlue theme + Simpler Dialer and Contacts

Material theme not fully taking on S6

I recently moved from a Nexus 5 to a Galaxy s6. Of course I wanted the pure android look so I installed the google now launcher and the material theme.
The problem I am having is the phone icon still shows the ugly green touchwiz icon as well as the touchwiz camera icon (don't know if that should change or not).
From the screenshots I see it looks like the phone dialer should change as well.
Any ideas?
The icons will not change with the Google Now Launcher. You will need a third party app to do that, or use a launcher like Nova.
The in-call UI will not be themed, but the dialer should before you actually place the call.
Let me know if you have more questions :good:
Install Nova Launcher and then install Moonshine iconpack.

[Workaround]Get Rid of Ugly Navbar in Nexus 5 Running MIUI

Hey there guys...
So today I will be giving a small guide to get rid of ugly navbar in Nexus 5 running miui.
Lets Begin
Requirements :
1)Nexus 5 running MIUI.
2)Xposed Installed(All likns will be provided in the bottom of the thread).
3)I will be listing a couple of paid apps so you if you want to use them you may need credit card or you can use whatever method you want to buy those apps.
4)A bit of patience.
Lets Start.....
I will be dividing this guide into two parts
1)Using stock MIUI launcher
2)Using 3rd party launcher.
Using Stock MIUI Launcher
We all know N5 have that kitkat navbar which looks ugly on MIUI.So to get rid of that first flash Lollipop navbar(link is at the bottom).
After Flashing it your navbar will be same as we see in lillipop but is not transparent(actually it is transparent but MIUI launcher makes it black).
So if you are a user like me who love setting dark wallpapers then you should'n have much problem with it becauser when you set a dark wallpaper navbar color and wallpapers colour matches and it looks perfect as you can see in Screenshot 1.
But if you don't like dark wallpapers then it looks preety damn ugly even if you flash lollipop navbar.So to get rid of that install Gravitybox xposed module.
After activating it go to Navigation bar settings and enable navbar(You have to do this if you want to customize it).After enabling it reboot your device.Again go to gravitybox>navbar settings and enable custom key colors and set key color to black so navbar willl look like a black strip on the screen which feels like it is bottom of the phone and not navbar.Now you can set whichever wallpaepr you want.You can see it in Screenshot 2.
Using 3rd Party Launcher
First download force translucent xposed module and activate it.After activating it set translucent navbar to all apps in app settings.
Then download MIUI launcher from play store(I think its just heavily modded nova launcher but it looks a lot like MIUI).
Download MIUI icon pack(this is paid app)
Set MIUI (Downloaded from gplay) as your default launcher and apply icon pack.There you go you have MIUI launcher with transparent navbar.

[THEME] [MAGISK] Pixel Launcher for Android 11 Stock Rom

Hi Guys! This is a Magisk module I made to replace the stock Quickstep Launcher in our device with Pixel Launcher.
The module includes:
- Pixel Launcher (replaces Quickstep)
- Styles & Wallpapers (to change Accent Colors, Icon Shapes, Icon Packs, Wallpaper, Grid Size etc.)
- Device Personalization Services (for App Suggestions and "Select" Overview Action)
- Pixel Theme (Pixel Blue Accent Color instead of Teal, Amoled Black Dark Mode instead of Dark Gray, Rounded UI Corners)
- Extra Pixel Exclusive Accent Colors, Icon Packs & Fonts
- Removed Wi-Fi Generation Numbers from Wi-Fi Icon
Hope you guys enjoy!
Notes:
- I give credit to @Typhus_ for customize.sh. Hope he doesn't mind.
Don't mind at all.
Cheers!
OP updated: All apks are taken from the last Pixel 5's Android 11 images.

Truth be told, i initially created this theme for personal use only. I really love the stock android experience but that teal accent color, ugly dark mode and squarish ui make the device look really dated (in my personal opinion). So the idea of this theme was to add some polishes to our device while still keeping that lightweight android experience. I really like those few touches nokia adds to their phones and i feel like that's what an AOSP build should look like nowadays. I only added the nokia launcher becauce xiaomi didnt gave us a proper fully functional android 11 launcher3. So i won't be making other themes.

When i push the square in navigation bar, with google pixel launcher i don't see anything. With quickstep work normally. It's a shame because the search app drawer bar is cool. But not a big problem. I use the pixel theme, not nokia. Tnx for this mod. Is lite and essential

There may also be some interference with trebuchet launcher. Which los rom are you using?
I solved! I was more simply that i thinked... I have disabled yrebuchet, and cleared data of trebuchet and pixel! Now it's perfect. I'm very happy
Edit:a little issue. With dark theme enable, with the black search bar, the font color remain setted to black. Is better set to with. Cheers
