Hey there. I recently upgraded from stock 2.3.6 to cyanogenmod 10.1 android 4.2.2 on my Galaxy S Plus and it is quite the difference. I really like it so far but because it is such a big change, i have some random questions about it.
1. In 2.3.6 you could re-organize apps in the drawer as you wanted by tapping menu -> edit. How can you do this in 4.2.2 ? (i know this depends on the launcher, i only tired nova launcher and cm default trebuchet launcher). - (the 4.2.2 default launcher does this ?) (what is the best launcher for 4.2.2?)
2. in 2.3.6 by tapping the menu button at homescreen it displays add widget , shortcuts wallpapers etc. How can you do this in 4.2.2 ? (the only way to add widgets is by going into app drawer -> widgets ?)
3. Where is the repeat button in the Apollo Music Player ? (or should i change to something else?)
3. How can i not install / remove default apps that comes with the rom? (like the default browser because i switched to chrome)
4. If i understand correctly cyanogenmod is based on ASOP and is pure android. What about the android 4.2.2 that comes with galaxy s4 or s3 ? Could we have that on our Galaxy S Plus ?
I would like to keep it as clean as possible without installing tons of apps to modify the rom. Thanks
to 1. i don`t know if it is possible...
to 2. this i the "new" way add widgets to teh homescreen...the possibility from 2.3.6 comes maybe back with Android 4.4
to 3. on my CM10.2 i haven`t find any possibility...
to 3. i remove apps with a file-manager with mounting the root system as writeable and go to system/app then remove or move it to sdcard ...that`s all ...
to 4. CM 10.1 is Android 4.2.2 and you`re right it is based on AOSP ... but the difference between the Version of Samsung are more not needful apps and the other UI ...why do you want the version of S3 or S4 ...the based android version is 4.2.2 in both ways i9000, i9001 or s3 or s4 ...
Hope i can help you with some questions ...:good:

I flashed the CyanogenMod 10.1 by ADC-Team - Release 8 and the K^Kernel 3.4.x OC/EXUV 390MB with my wife's i9001,it's very smooth、stable and a good battery,That I installed apex launcher because of my habit
And about you questions,there's no affect for me that you will be able to adapt the ROM after a period of time

your questions

1. Apex launcher rocks, try it...
3b. Try app from Play Store called SD Maid to remove apps. It is very powerful tool and can do a lot, I use pro version but I think the free one can do pretty much all as well.
1) This is launcher specific
2) This is also launcher specific, both MiHome and Go Launcher have similar implementations of the way it is done on stock, as well as ADW
3a.) In Apollo, near the bottom, there should be a symbol that has two arrows forming a loop
3b.) As tetakpatak said
4.) S3/S4's 4.2.2 has modifications and additions to it as well as a custom framework of the system. You can have a theme as well as however many ported apps there are, but a direct port of either of these requires a hell of a lot of reverse engineering as well as some compromises
And freakymod- personal preference. Nothing wrong with wanting Touchwiz.

Hi there guys!
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 with lollipop. Instead of touchwiz, iIhave the Google Now Launcher which gives the device a stock lollipop appearance. Now I wanted to know if if could get a stock lollipop look on my whole device like the one on nexus devices. The Google now launcher doesn't change my notification panel or my other apps.
So can anyone tell me how to get the default look on my whole device?

Google Now Launcher is just a launcher. It will only replace TouchWiz's launcher - not the entire UI. To get the looks of stock Lollipop, you'll need to install an AOSP based ROM that is available for your phone or install a theme (or stock firmware based ROM) that looks similar to the theme and UI of stock Lollipop.
THIS IS A PIXEL/PIXEL 2 MOD FOR THE NEXUS 6P RUNNING ANDROID OREO 8.0 and 8.1 (OPR5 and OPP5)
I am VERY excited to introduce to you some new Pixel 2 features! This begins the era of Pixel 2 mods. While much work remains to be done on Android Oreo, even with features in the first Pixels, this is an exciting development. Check out those screenshots and make sure to check out the animated clock icon Here's my Pixel Mod/PIXEL 2 MOD built for Android Oreo! :highfive: The current status of this mod is still a work in progress. Currently I am in between 8.0 and 8.1 so please pay close attention to what you are downloading. As 8.1 is going to be the upcoming official release, much of my focus will be on that. Currently the mod for 8.1 (OPP5) has been released and includes new features such as new wallpapers, Google Lens, and Always On Display! For those of you who are still on the official release of 8.0, I will begin updating this mod tomorrow.
Important piece here. Anything flashed is flashed at your own risk. I have not and will not release anything that I have not flashed myself. The only exception to this is the Pixel Mod for the 5X being that I don't own a 5X. However, I only release that after testing the mod on the 6P and recreating, exactly, the mod for the 5X. Regardless, you should always backup before flashing anything. Better safe than sorry. Also, anything posted in these comments is not endorsed/approved by me. This is a community; users are free to post what they want. Often times, users are very supportive and helpful. I appreciate the community involvement 100%. However, I cannot test and allow everything else posted here. Users are free to post at will. Using any form of mod posted in comments is 100% at your risk too, and just like with my mod, users should backup first. That being said, community involvement pushes learning forward. Mods such as this progress as quickly as they do thanks to community involvement and testing. To everyone who has asked questions, tested, and contributed I give you a huge thanks. :good:
If you intend on using Substratum, don't flash this mod. I'm working on a simple work around for this.
So as always, make a backup before flashing. I do not have an uninstaller zip made. The best way to uninstall is to backup your system.img in TWRP and restore if to remove the mod.

Common Questions/Issues & Answers/Solutions
Tinted Nav Bar? Pixel Nav Bar Animation?
-Not yet, still roadblocked on that one. Not giving up though.
Pixel Launcher is crashing repeatedly after flashing this mod!
-Go into settings from your quick settings and grant Pixel Launcher notification access.
Not all icons are round?
The problem seems to be in the versions of those apps. Android Oreo (Official Version) seems to have less issues than the Previews had
Substratum?
-This mod may break Substratum. If you want to use Substratum don't flash this mod. If you have, then just reflash your system.img to return to stock. If you want substratum, go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/tutorial-android-oreo-pixel-mod-t3663727.
Notification Dots aren't working?!
-Make sure to enable the Notification Dots too. Go into the Pixel Launcher Settings (tap and hold like if you were adding a widget or changing a wallpaper). In the settings there is a category "Notification Dots". Even if it says "On" tap on it. Make sure "Allow Notification Dots" is on. Mine will do a little glitch like I repeatedly tapped it. I think it's just a bug in the Preview version of Pixel Launcher. But that should bring you the Dots if you don't have it.
Weather is not showing!
-Make sure to grant Pixel Launcher location access. Then give it some time. If you don't want to wait, swiping into Google Now and clicking on the weather seems to force refresh the weather widget on your homescreen.
No Option to Change Photo Upload Quality?
Unlimited Photo Storage was supported for a short amount of time before Google patched the mod. The current mod (OPR5_Pixel2_Mod--6p-V2 / 6th Edition) returned the ability to select photo upload quality. However, clearing data for the Photos app may be necessary. Just wipe data from settings for the app
7th Edition / 8th Edition
-TO-DO LIST--ALWAYS ON DISPLAY
-Navigation Bar Animation - Need to be able to compile modded System UI apk. Other than that, this is figured out.
-Substratum Compatibility
-Original Accent Color Mod
-Black Android Oreo Boot Animation (Currently using stock Android Oreo Boot Animation)
-Integration Boot Sound - I don't think Oreo has a boot sound so it would be reincorporating it as an option. Haven't heard it on my Pixel XL at all
-Converting to Aroma Installer for Customized Features
-Bring in Pixel 2 XL Boot Animation
-Nav Bar DPI Mods
-Fix Live Wallpaper Bugs
-Bring Back Old Pixel Live Wallpapers
-Possibly developing app to better integrate Pixel Mods with Android Oreo's native theme support
-The Pixels (Pixel & Pixel XL) themselves actually use (in a sense) a Pixel Mod. As of Android O (beginning in the previews) the Pixels have basically the exact same setup as the 6P and 5X. However, in the vendor partition they have a Pixel Theme (called Pixel.apk). This actually visible in the apps list. If you have a Pixel on Android Oreo. Go to your installed apps and view system apps. Look for Pixel.apk. That is the pixel theme, much like Substratum Themes. Now the Pixels basically use an overlay (using Android Oreo's native theme support). The 6P has the exact same compatibility. However, installation is a bit complicated. If I or someone else could develop an app to place the files+folders in the Vendor folder and run the ADB commands, it would make Pixel Mod's much less complicated and allow complete substratum compatibility.
CHANGELOG OPR5Previous Version: Oreo OPR5 PIXEL 2 MOD V2 - October

result is : nothing installed ! the phone is still as it without any change
notice : why when i flash twrp, i can only use it one time if i want to use twrp again i don't find it and i only find the recovery which comes with system image !

THIS IS A PIXEL MOD FOR THE NEXUS 6P RUNNING ANDROID OREO (OPR6)
Here's my Pixel Mod built for Android Oreo! :highfive: The current status of this mod is still a work in progress. The main issues are solving issues with Substratum (I've got some ideas for that. I just need to figure out how to implement them), porting the nav bar animation, and fixing the Double Tap to Wake. It's possible that a kernel-mod is necessary to enable the Double Tap features that the Pixel has.
Still included in this version is my custom feature to the Pixel Launcher. The Pixel Launcher in Android Oreo allows you to choose different icon shapes (such as square, rounded square, etc.) For those who want this mod with stock icons, I added the stock icons into that setting. Just look for "Stock"!
If you intend on using Substratum, don't flash this mod. I'm working on a simple work around for this. Currently the method is a bit complex.
So as always, make a backup before flashing. I do not have an uninstaller zip made. The best way to uninstall is to backup your system.img in TWRP and restore if to remove the mod.

-Oreo Pixel Audio
-Stock Pixel XL Oreo Boot Animation (Currently working on a black version)
-Pixel Blue Accent Color
-Night Mode
-Round Icons
-"Stock" Icon Shape Available in Pixel Launcher Settings (See Screenshot)
-Pixel Navigation Buttons (without animation)
What's Missing / Being Worked On:
-Pixel Navigation Bar Animation
-The New "Double Tap To Check Notifications" Feature (Settings are available but seems to be non-functional. Possible kernel-mod needed)

i fix the problem by reinstalling system.img

Are you running stock Android Oreo? If so, do you have any other mods installed? TWRP may not stay due to not being rooted. But if you're rooted it should stay. The steps I took (and I'm in stock Android Oreo with a clean install, wiped data) are flash Android Oreo, flash TWRP, flashed latest SuperSU BETA, flashed my mod. No errors.
Also, what version of SuperSU did you flash?
To fix your message that you get, flash Android Oreo again. If you're using the flash-all.bat, edit it in Notepad or Notepad++ and remove the "-w" that'll save your data. If you backed up your system.img, reflash TWRP, and then restore that

The round circle is actually part of the animation that is missing. The Pixel still has it. Once I figure out how to get the port of that working we'll have it too

I agree 100% :laugh:
yes my device running Android Oreo 8.0.0 official version not DP, i don't have any mod installed before i just have a pixel launcher apk and i uninstalled it before staring installing your mod.
supersu that i have : SR3-SuperSU-v2.82-SR3-20170813133244
Awsome!! Thanks dude!
the problem was with supersu i installed it before and check by "root checker" and i got green sign, and after a while you post this thread and i tried to install the mod but i didn't succeed because supersu is no longer works although is installed, so the solution is reinstall the supersu and everything works fine,
i have two questions :
1- how to do what you wrote here : "Go into settings from your quick settings and grant Pixel Launcher notification access."
2- why sometimes i have to reinstall twrp recovery everytime when i want to use it, i don't find the twrp, i find only the recovery which comes with system image !

1) Go to Settings. Then go to "Apps & notifications". Tap "Advanced". Go to "Special app access". Go to "Notification access". Enable notification access for Pixel Launcher.
1.5) To grant access to location services. Go to Settings. Then go to "Apps & notifications". Go to "App info". Tap three dot menu. Tap "Show system". Find "Pixel Launcher". Tap "Permissions". Grant Permissions.
2)When you flash TWRP, are you typing "fastboot boot twrp.img" or "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img". If you're using "boot" use "fastboot flash recovery" instead. If you are flashing, from my experience, TWRP does not stick if root isn't installed. Try again after you reflashed SuperSU. Is TWRP still gone?
Can I flash this mod over the mod from dp4? Since we will never get the navbar animation ?
I'm on 8.0 official
Good job and thanks btw!
Thanks so much for this. But is it possible to get back the original Oreo theme color?

That should be fine. Since the DP4 mod works, it should be basically like updating apps. Backup your system.img first, just to be safe
Hello Friends,
If you like to install stock asus launcher on custom mm or naugat rom then find attached below the stock asus launcher zip. The zip is flashable through twrp recovery. Just flash & reboot...
Dont forget to hit thanks button if you like this.:good:

My main frustration with Miui is not being able to theme it myself, I don't like any of those themes in the store.
I applied for designer in their website but my theme has been waiting to be approved by them for like 3 months now.
I've tried several workarounds, like the force close method (Doesn't works for me I'm on Miui 12.0.6 Btw) and the theme editor from playstore (Works but reverts to stock after a while).
EU roms have a fix for this but there's no EU roms for this device, screw MediaTek.
I have root access via magisk and the unofficial twrp as recovery, is there anything I can do to install a theme permanently?

I just looked it up, only works for Miui 11 and is paid.
Also, even though it is restricted, I prefer Miui theme engine, it is very customizable and system wide. That's the main reason I haven't switched to Lineage Os, I've heard custom app icons only apply to launcher in Lineage Os (No custom icon in recents or settings apps tab)
Did you download the Swift Installer? Because it will support every phone after you install it will cost some money but you can download apk
MIUI themes are in MTZ format, You can either import them in theme store, or apply them through an app named "Theme editor for MIUI".
Keep in mind since there's no proper support for third party themes, they get reseted after some time and the phone returns back to stock theme.
So for now either you enjoy your theme for a few hours and it resets, or try to get it on the MIUI Theme store.
