Lollipop Xposed Finally!!

Which is great, but none of the modules work for me. I know it's in alpha, so there's work to do. Some reports of bootloops, but a lot of users appear to be having a perfect ride. I had no problem installing the zip and then the APK, and I gave it root access just fine. It's just that no mods work.
I'm asking here if anyone has had success on the G3. Maybe there's something unique to our device that makes it glitchy. There are a lot of Nexus and other devices having a good go. Here's a screen shot with the mods I loaded. Yeah, I know Lollipop has Smart Lock, but that's been hit or miss for me, so I tried the xposed mod for that.
Any G3's rocking xposed? If so, did you do anything different than is outlined in the OP?

Couldn't get it working on Cloudy ROM. I literally have to reinstall my ROM because it gives a constant error so I can't even navigate my phone

There are no G3 "rocking" xposed. It's only a first alpha release, meant for people who know java, art and xposed and are able and willing to help Rovo debug it on various phones.
Simply put, it doesn't work yet. Wait for a stable release.

Sorry of "rocking" rubbed you the wrong way. What if I asked if anyone was wearing xposed like a boss? Rovo didn't present is as something to be tested by a select few here or on Google+. It is more like: You've been waiting for this, and here it is. It's in alpha, so you might well see glitches. Give it a try.
I'm not saying he was careless with his presentation. I'm saying Rovo didn't intend for this to be an underground test specifically for those proficient with Java and art.
I've been on discussion board for ten years or so, and I've always had the problem of using too many words to ask a simple question. In this case it's: Has anyone got xposed to work with a G3 on Lollipop?

Sorry, my bad, i misunderstood you.
Yeah, it's working, as good as alpha should. Both on cm12 and stock 20h. However, it conflicts with smart cover and weather services on stock rom, so they have to be frozen or deleted. It also needs selinux to be in permissive mode.
Modules made for user apps (AppSettings, youtube in background, etc) work, modules like cpu frequency or temp in status bar work, coolTool would probably work too.
Massive tweakers, like g3 tweaksbox or gravity box + most framework tweaks (halo, multiwindow, etc etc etc) need massive updates to work on L.

Sorry for being quite ignorant

AOD Themes, Clocks and Options

Hey guys, I got my a7 2017 for over 3 months now, and I'm pretty happy with performance and battery life. But my problem is, that the always on display feature is very reduced. You get 2 types of clocks, 1 calendar, and no option for image or downloading themes. I tried downloading the s8 and apk, but I get an error message that says there's another package with the same name, even with the reboot and very quickly installing it, with no success. Themes in the theme store that include aod's are very limited l, as well as third-party-apps. I know I could do those things without problems with root, but that's not an option for me, since I don't want to lose the warranty. If anyone can help by putting any solutions like the s8 theme store or a link to download themes externally, it would be very much appreciated.

even after changed the build.prop to be S8+, i still can't see AOD Themes Section. How could you get that option?

u must put the .apk file in /system/, and replace it with rw-r--r-- permission.
and of course you have to root your phone first to do that.

AOD Themes on Theme Store feature is a line on floating_features.xml

u need to downgrade aod https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/themes/downgrade-display-themes-t3609938 but on nougat u get more themes anyway

Has anyone tried Substratum w/Andromeda plugin after Oreo update?

Well, that's the question. I'm gathering some credits trough Google Rewards and i'm pretty interested in buying the Substratum extension made for Android Oreo. But first i want to know if someone has tried the app in this phone to avoid some useless purchase. Something that i miss from my old Moto X Style is the customization. I could root this thing to do it without any plugin but so far i'm not interested in rooting and all that.

I didn't find any replacements..
I think if You dont wanna root Your phone You should buy Andromeda rootless backend - support devs, because it works.

I'm currenly using the Andromeda... It does work but with some errors n doesn't work well with all themes...

I've got something to show..

Thanks guys. I'll buy it anytime soon then.

I have been using it on 0.8 Verizon edition with no probs, sais oreo theme is a pretty good dark theme.

I am using it. Everything was working until the most recent security update for oreo. Although it may have been me updating my theme, which i did after the security update.
I can't stand all the ads on this phone. Ugh.

I use it with stock Oreo 8.0.0. No issues.
Black theme (forgot the name but it is the most popular one) is nice for the notification bar and settings menu.

Which theme is that?

Its working fine, I'm experiencing no lags.
Black looks beautiful and being AMOLED saves battery also.

Notification issue
The Default Dark Theme works except for some notifications that keep having dark text on dark background (see first notification on the attached image). Is there any way to fix that? My device is not rooted.

I am currently using a pitch black theme that is called Sai's Oreo Theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=baka.sai.oreo&hl=en

I`ve been using Default Dark from F-Droid. Basically switches the Phones/Contacts/Settings/QSettings etc to dark.
The app has one annoyance to it cause you got to connect the phone to the pc if you want to use substratum.
The good stuff is that applied theme survives reboot, so it`s not so bad in the end.

Theme Galaxy Theme-BWG

Hello :
Please understand im not a themer but I like tweaking this beast so...
Ive worked painstakingly on this for months. I mean months. For those who know theme galaxy is fabulous. But getting it down packed digging deep into the features to get your s**t the way you want it . Wow. Many hair pulling episodes and sleepless nights. Fellow tweakers understand. But id work with it for days... weeks.. then give up... wait a couple of weeks.. months maybe. But I didn't delete the app. It was just there in the back of my mind. Literally lol. Like id think of how to tame it. Take courage and try again. Everytime I thought I had it... some menu id forgotten.... or some other crap would pop up. At first id leave it. In some cases it was just a minor defect in only a few areas. Like not being able to see text or icons. But that too bugged me to be figured out.
This is what I came up with. I may be open to answering questions in between the busy schedule... or maybe you tweak it and take it further or different. Up to you. Btw you MUST have theme galaxy on your phone. I donated but don't know how this will come out on the phones of those who haven't.
Take no credit for that app.... THEME GALAXY.....btw isn't that developer incredible?!! I've understood the genius actually now that I know how to use it. Props @@ sathishtony. His work can be found here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-themediy-samsung-galaxy-s8-s7-s6-j-t3685010
BUT I did pull this theme together using it as I think he intended. Enjoy.
I Take no responsibility if your phone blows up. But it shouldn't
Btw - BWG= black white and gray. Duh. :silly:

I have spent endless hours with themegalaxy myself. You did a great job. Swift Black with Substratum since the Oreo update is really hard to beat though. Not nearly as much time and since I don't have to do the computer thing anymore it's gravy.

Thanks. My first theme actually.
I have to check out the substratum again. That sounds much simpler than all I went thru for this lol
But part of me secretly likes the tinkerers struggle.

They have added a bunch of Samsung related overlays, and continue to dial it in a couple times a week. I hear you on the tinkering. I built free and premium themes for the Note 4 til I finally upgraded. Now everything is so locked tight that it just isn't even worth messing with. Some days I'm tempted to sell my Note 8 just to get out from under the payments and go back to my S7 Edge as soon as the Oreo update hits.

Thanks. I used substratum months ago and it didn't like my phone or something I did so i just deleted. Will give it a go again. AND i know who I'll be asking for tips.
I like the theme i did in TG but there are so many areas i can't get to with it.. or haven't figured it out yet and have given up.
Yeah pretty soon i think you won't be able to modify any of the phones. Security concerns cited smh

Updated it some. Worked some text visibility issues out. Changed some colors around so the accent and main color is more graphite than grey. Think it's as close to perfect as it's going to get unless I notice issues.
Hey if anyone else created some cool themes feel free to share them.

Nice work brother.

Thanks!

Another variation. Personally like this one best.

Graphite system UI

Hello:
Could anyone that's tried these tell me if they showed all system areas properly? When I first created each I shared the apks to my wife's s9 and they worked fine with just minor imperfections ... but when I lost my files I just downloaded these and they look totally wonky now.

How can it be uninstalled?
I dont see it in apps list.

I think you'd need the project file from themegalaxy of let's say one of my themes and compile it/save it using the app on your own phone for it to work properly. Using the APks I've created I notice its hit or miss with installation .
Download link for project file of my latest dark ui theme. Import this into theme galaxy then build/ install into samsung themes. I used just regular black wallpaper... and tha black icon pack found in Google play. Don't know if the project file includes these so just in case.

Oh sweet. Mind sharing?

I actually just bought the OnePlus 6T so right now I can't theme at all.

This is the thing that I concocted. I might be available to addressing inquiries in the middle of the bustling calendar... or on the other hand perhaps you change it and take it further or unique. Up to you. Btw you MUST have subject cosmic system on your telephone. I gave however don't have the foggiest idea how this will turn out on the telephones of the individuals who haven't.

Question Any root way for amoled black?

Hello geeks,
I'm sick and tired of this so called "dark", ugly Grey color. Is there any way to go black? I mean the real amoled black we been used to in a decade.
I'm rooted and tried Flux, swift, and many other substratum themes but they don't work on this android 13 thing.

Flux has Android 13 support so not sure why it's not working for you. So do Liv Dark, Iris and Iris Monet, amongst others. Also, you should be using Substratum Lite rather than Substratum, if you aren't.

Man, you're a real dog. You saved my time. The lite thing just worked. Thank you so much

Could someone please point me in the direction of the substratum lite for my stock, rooted, P6P A13.
A search on XDA produced hundreds of pages, but I am unable to tell which apply to me, and the Substratum hub is all about Oreo and older.
This would be my first venture into themes and I would like to learn more.
Thanks

Here is the Substratum Lite app.
There are several themes you can use on A13, as mentioned above. Search Play Store for themes such as Liv Dark, Flux, Iris, Iris Monet, etc.. For others you will have to search on Telegram.

You can use AOSP mod. This is the way !

aosp mod.project themer .

Does it work on stuck Tom thou?

i am on stock.so yes.

Project themer work perfect on A13 (playstore)
