[flashable][F3111][N] SystemUI and framework mods - Sony Xperia XA Themes, Apps, and Mods

Here's a mod pack including dark framework and notifications, settings, dynamic nav_bar, toast, dialog and menu boxes, nav_bar tuner, and scrolling nav_bar with directionals.

Got the dark notifications down, and messing around with resolver, etc...

Changed and fixed a few things...
Op updated

Thanks for the mod! My night mode is always on, I am not able to turn it off. Where is the switch to the dark notification to the light one?

Dark mods in this pack are not switchable. Night mode is a different mod, and doesn't change any of the frameworks, but just the color values of the screen. If you want to go back and forth, the best thing to do is keep 2 copies of the flashable zip, and replace the modded files in one of them with your original stock files. Then you can flash back to your original whenever you want.

I fixed the dark lock screen clock. Let me know if anyone wants it.

Copy to phone manually or replace in zip and flash..

Added dark Settings. Link in post 3...

Some changes and fixes, (see post 1)... One little bug I can't figure out is the space between the action bar and the dashboard on main settings screen, (screenshot). Any ideas?

I also see the "Gmail" text is quite dark, I've given the the value #00000000 to the following in my SystemUI...
notification_material_background_media_default_color
notification_material_background_low_priority_color
notification_shade_background_color
...so give that a try, I can't pinpoint it exactly as I change numerous values at a time when first theming a new apk in the hope it works.

Thanks. I changed something else since then, (can't remember what, but I remember that I never did figure out that space. I think I might have given up on the settings text experimentation and just went back to white), but didn't post it, since I wasn't sure if anyone was interested. I've been back on my Z1c for a couple of weeks now. I'll fire the XA back up and check it out again.

[Q] Notification Bar not changing with Theme Changes...

Sorry if this has been asked already, which I'm sure it has. I did a search and couldn't find anything.
I think I knew the answer to this a while ago, but I can't figure it out. I've done a few reboots, but still I can't get the respective Theme I chose to be the pull down widgets/notifications bar.
Also on my old CM7 rom, I had a red theme and it changed my Torch icon, my handcent, and a few other non-default apps. That's not happening now.
Is there something else I'm supposed to do besides a reboot?

It's any of the themes. Even when selecting Cyanbread, everything else goes blue, but the pull down widgets/bar still remains green from the default theme.

try booting into recovery and format "cache partition" boot into phone and change you theme to the one you want. then go settings>applications>manage applications> and force close "status bar" it will refresh the bar.
if it doesnt work then you might have to back up you phone and wipe all and flash the rom over.

[OOS][LAYERS] Share your setup !

Hi all,
as you all (maybe not ?) know, Oxygen OS is partially compatible with RRO Layers, so you can take your chance, install the Layers Manager App and try some of them.
But, if you're as (un)lucky as me, you'll end up most of the time either in a bootlop (in this case, reboot in TWRP, mount system,
then go to advanced menu, file manager and go to system/vendor/overlays and delete all (or only faulty one if you know which one is,
most of the time framework, or systemui) apks.
So, i've spent many (MANY) hours searching, trying, bootlooping, TWRPing, again and again in order to get a dark and lovely theme without bugging with the power menu,
or blinding white notifications... or dark notifications but white settings.... :silly:
And although i was close to give up, i finally managed to get exactly what i wanted, but i had to mix 3 different layers to get it working.
So i'll share my setup here.
I needed 3 layers,
the first one is from Spannaa, and called Simple Blue Layers Theme (please do not go there to complain about anything, this theme is designed to work on OP2, and not OPX, thanks.)
the second one is Domination Layers Theme and is optional, i only used it for playstore and contacts, but that's a matter of taste. Credits go to @daveyannihilation
And the last one is called Oxygen Layers Theme.
And this is the kind of bad part, it's a paid theme... but that's the only layer i found that isn't causing a bug with framework (you can't hold power to get power menu, it results in a soft reboot).
So, if you ask me, it's worth 1,32€ (and no, i'm not the author nor a friend of him).
But if you find one free, and working, share it :highfive:
The last two screenshots are what i installed, but there a different choices you can make, for example with Simple Blue, you can choose single or double column for settings page.
You can also choose the icons' style (thin in my screenshot).
Here are my details: listed installed layers for each theme
OxygenOS:
Accent: Blue Steel 4
Framework: Lollipop Dark Background
Status Color: AccentColor
Under Style specific Overlays, choose DarkBackground
Dialer
Google Messenger
Layers Manager
Phone
Simple Blue:
SystemUI
Settings two columns (but you can choose one if you prefer, of course)
Under Style Specific Overlays, choose Thin if you want same as me, but you can try the other choices, like i said before.
Settings Icon
SystemUI Icons
Domination:
Contacts
Package Installer
Playstore
I forgot to mention that i'm using Dark theme from under OOS settings, i don't know the exact term, maybe customization ? (personnalisation in french) and not switching to dark mode would probably result in troubles, so first, apply dark mode, then install layers.
And keep Default accent colors too.
With this you should get exactly what you see in the screenshots.
Hope you enjoy, and don't forget to share your (working) layers
Once again, please do not go to Spannaa's thread to complain, or looking for help, but you're more than welcome to thank @Spannaa for his work and share.
Tip: Just don't apply theme to "Frameworks" in layers and every layers theme will work fine.
Regards.

Just a quick question (may be OT): How do you rearrange your settings like that? (Screenshot 2) It's more a table than the usual list, looks good.

It's a feature of Simple Blue Theme, you have the choice of single column (classic like stock) or two columns, like on my screenshot:
You need to choose the appropriate setting in the dropdown menu for "settings".
Thanks for the answer.

Since recompiling my apk didn't work, I achieved it by making a small xposed module that essentially does the same (plus it has the benefit of surviving updates etc).
Decompiling and editing worked perfectly fine but while recompiling it just got stuck. I tested it on two different machines and OS's, same result. No errors, just stuck.
I'm gonna try and adjust the text size a little bit since some of the entries are being cut off. Maybe after that I'll release it, if someone's interested.
TL;DR: Thank you, it worked.

Did you install the framework(s) before decompiling and try different versions of apktool?
The Xposed route is fine if you use it - I don't, that's why I added the mod to my settings overlay.
A good alternative to an Xposed module would be an overlay with a low priority that just changes settings to two columns.

Yes I did, I tried various combinations, nothing worked.
According to the verbose output (-v) it gets stuck after packing a random amount of drawables.

Strange, although these OnePlus Roms do have issues with some apks.
My second framework decompiles OK but even if I change nothing, it won't compile again as some resources aren't present.
Xposed module it is then...

Actually I'm on CM 12.1, so I don't know what's happening there.
FYI, Blue is the most power-consumming color in oled screens. If ya wanna maximize your battery life, use black and red layers/themes.

Green pixels are smaller than red ones so they still consume a bit more. But at equal size, green pixels are actually the most power efficient.

[MOD][NMF26U/V] NavBar Tuner, Additional QS Tile Rows, NavBar DPI - TWRP Flashable

I have done some basic mods for the Pixel that have been well received, and @StickyEyez requested I do it for the Pixel XL as well. You can see my original post here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/themes/mod-navbar-tuner-additional-qa-tile-rows-t3522314
**I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES TO YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK**
**v1.0 2017.01.05**
This mod is based on the NMF26V update, but it should work on NMF26U as well. It may work on older versions, but I have no information regarding this. If you want to test on other versions, you should back up your original /system/framework/framework-res.apk and system/priv-app/SystemUIGoogle/SystemUIGoogle.apk
NMF26# increased the NavBar height to a ridiculous 48dpi, so I have added 4dpi step-downs to 32dpi.
I've also made changes to make the Statusbar slightly smaller at 20dpi (original is 24dpi).
Only install one of each mod at a time. The NavBar/Statusbar mode impacts framework-res.apk and System UI mods impact SystemUIGoogle.apk, so if you select multiple it'll just install the last one you selected.
The mods that can be applied are:
NavBar/StatusBar dpi
0dpi/0dpi
0dpi/20dpi
0dpi/24dpi
32dpi/24dpi
32dpi/20dpi
36dpi/24dpi
36dpi/20dpi
40dpi/24dpi
40dpi/20dpi
44dpi/24dpi
44dpi/20dpi
48dpi/20dpi
SystemUI Mods
NavBarUI Manager + Brightness
NavBarUI Manager + Brightness + 4 QS Tiles
NavBarUI Manager + Brightness + 4 QS Tiles + Battery Mod
Return to Stock
framework-res.apk
SystemUIGoogle.apk
Note, the 0dpi/0dpi mod is actually 0dpi/1dpi because if you set the statusbar to 0dpi you cannot pull it down while in apps. If applied to a standard setup, you will find that the tops of the clock show in the statusbar, and will not look good. But if you use a different launcher, I have been told this is not noticeable.
You can download the mod here Stranula_Full_Flash_v1.zip
To install you will need to have TWRP installed, then simply install the zip and follow the on screen menus.

I am starting the mod, but I don't have a Pixel XL, so I need a few people to volunteer to test it.
I am just starting the mods now, but they won't take long so if you can test it this morning, let me know, and I will PM you a link in a while

I am about to be on a plane for the rest of the day, so I've updated the original post. @Cbass15 has reported the installer and mods to be working, so hopefully it is good to go. He is also going to be putting up some screenshots soon.
Here is just a couple of screenshots...
The first picture is a picture of the 4QT, along with brightness adjuster removed and battery percent enabled
The picture with a Nav bar is 32/24
The picture without a Nav Bar is 0/20
Want to see anymore screenshots before you flash? Let me know,I'll hook you up with one. :good:
Any chance of adding the center clock mod?
I don't see much point in removing the brightness slider as it does not shrink the area it was in. Unless you literally don't want to accidentally touch it.

If you don't want to disable the brightness bar, then don't disable it. It is an option in the UI Tuner. You can toggle it easily.

Yeah, it's a toggle. I just find it unfortunate that it doesn't really shrink down.
Thanks for this package, BTW. I just did this manually myself yesterday because nobody had anything that would allow for the navbar tuner in 7.1.1...

Unfortunately, not from me. I don't have the time to invest in modding. I just happen to be on vacation and had some spare time to do this.
I've been waiting to root and install TWRP until we get xposed framework because I want to hide the nav bar and enable pie controls. I see with this mod that I can hide the nav bar. Are there any good apps or installs for pie control like the GravityBox module with Xposed? I would love something that works similar to the pie controls in GravityBox. I've tried stuff like LMT but it doesn't appear to be as smooth.

Hello All,
There are a lot of themed SystemUI.apk and have bugs in them which really made me feel sad not being able to customize my device the way I want it and the worst part is not being able to understand the codes I can't theme one my self as well :crying: ,

After installing your systemui, I quickly noticed these:
1. Some of the quicksetting icons are with the wrong labels
2. Screen mirroring icon is almost not visible, and 3. The pen icon on the upper right corner should be the settings icon
Can you fix those? Btw, thank you for your effort of doing this.

Any method to change the default 'Blue' colour throughout the entire phone?

Is there a way to change the 'Blue' colour default theme to other colour without installing any theme? Cos I want to maintain everything as default but only the colour changed.

Yes, you can do it with a theme from the samsung theme store or you can use substratum on an unrooted Note 20 Ultra. How to use substratum has checnged from the first post but toward the end of the thread are the new procedures.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/official-starting-substratum-andromeda-t3798316
Here's one example of substratum.

Hex Installer allows you to keep the Samsung theme but change the UI element colors. You can even fine tune the background colors. No root needed and no wonky Substratum setup.

By default it's already using a Samsung theme!
Changing the Samsung theme is reversible and causing no performance impact (except live wallpapers and such).
>Many themes* to chose from, I recommend one of high contrast themes.
>Choose the homescreen wallpaper you want.
>Then chose from one of the hundreds of free icon packs on the Glaxy Store.
*use themes to get the keyboard, phone dialer, messages theme etc that you like best. As per above the rest are interchangeable.
That's the trick and the fix. It's time consuming but works well.

Hex Installer allows you to keep the Samsung theme but change the UI element colors. You can even fine tune the background colors. No root needed and no wonky Substratum setup.

Gonna check out the Hex Installer, seems very promising.
It you want to stay on default you can use this at the bottom of developer options.
Themepark in Goodlock.

I just changed mine from "Default" to "Purple", just to make it really pronounced - could not find a single thing on the phone that had changed to "Purple"? I even rebooted just for laughs - still nothing, settings menus, it says "accent color" so I have no idea what that could even mean? I did spend about 30 minutes digging around the phone checking all kinds of stuff to make sure I didn't miss anything - finally put it back to "Default"!

Interesting
Samsung and/or the carrier may have disabled it.
Or it was an experimental beta feature.
Developer Options is fun... in Pie I have some that seem to do nothing that are indexed under "Feature Flags", an experimental feature.

I didn't know about this... Thanks for the tip.
What changes when you change the theme color? When does it change (after restart? Immediate?)?

This dev settings option is from stock Android and was originally the only way of changing accent colours on devices running stock before Google added its own theming option later. It has nothing to do with the way Samsung implements theming and accent colours in One Ui, and for that reason does not work on Samsung devices.
The only thing that the developer option did on my side, was to change the background colour of default system icons that got no icon.
Here are two examples : one black and the other cinnamon.
Why dont you try the following apps developed for Samsung and you found them in Galaxy store:
Good lock has a bunch of modules to create your unique theme
When you use Theme Park module to create a new them make sure you tap on the top right corner on the sun icon to choose the dark mode. Basically when you create a new them you can create one for light mode(sun icon) and another for dark mode(moon icon) in one package as one them.
If you dont like the quickpanel you can change the colour scheme on your like using Quick Star module
Keyboard you can make a new theme using Theme Park (Keyboard section) ,the possibilities are endless ,make sure again you tap on sun icon to select dark mode for keyboard ?
Then use Keys Cafe module,submenu "style your own keyboard " to add key/motion effect when typing
If you want to go even further, then you can create your very own keyboard ,customised the location of the keys and add functions to them
Check attachments and YouTube link of the theme keyboard
