So I downloaded the Mixer theme from the CM7 forum yesterday and realized today that while it's selected as my current theme I cannot access any of my gapps. Gmail, playstore, etc. As soon as I change my theme I can then access any of my google apps as I wish. Any ideas as to why a theme would be doing this? I also have a zip themer morphed lockscreen mod installed as well. But I have never has any user issues with morphed theming before.
Anybody? Can't seem to find a fix =(

Seems to be working fine for me. Did you try to switch back to system, reboot and then apply mixer and then reboot to see if it works?

What's Themed:
System Background and Permission Icons (framework-res.apk)
System Icons - Notification and etc (SystemUi.apk)
Contacts (Phonebook.apk)
Dialer (SemcPhone.apk)
System Settings (Settings.apk)

Misc Apks (HotspotAdvancedSettings.apk, LocationBasedWifi.apk, ReadyToRun.apk)
Features:
Dark (but not pure black) themed apps for more comfortable usage.
I find that pure black apps put more strain on eyes than dark grey. Perhaps caused by high white\black contrast.
Dark holo background.
I really liked holo background, even if it has some color banding. Imho looks much better than plain black\grey image.
Based on Z1 Compact apk's.
I.e. apk utilises icons and images native for our xdpi resolution.
All themed apk's are up to date.
If not, please, PM me
No tabs in Notifications.
Just because =)
ZipAligned.
Works both on Odex and Deodex.

@XperienceD: For the topic template and consultations. Thx mate! :good:
Fixed Download link.
just flashed, tried all the features and they're working great
just two things
1. on the recent apps launcher, there are small white borders around each of the small app icons that are superfluous (would look better if they weren't there)
2. i used to have a system UI mod that allowed 6 icons (without text) on the notification panel which i prefer. reflashed it over your mod and managed to get it back
Works very nice, much thanks. Any chance you can change the messaging app to black as well?
This looks great and I'd really love to try it. But dev-host is always slow AF for me. This is a big problem for me when I try to download "large" files. Getting like 5KB/s download. Would take hours to get the file. Would appreciate a mirror.
Removed link as requested.

You can also find at the link black Conversations.apk, DocumentsUI.apk and SemcEmail.apk from this thread [MOD] Z1C.108 black UI V2.0 (31.8.2014). I just copied them to system/app and system/priv-app and set proper permissions, rebooted and wiped cache and dalvik.

Actually, one of the reasons that I've decided to make my mod was that "[MOD] Z1C.108 black UI V2.0 (31.8.2014)" is based on Z1 (not Z1 Compact) apps, so it doesn't have all the proper xdpi icons and images, as Z1 is a xxdpi device. Not that I do not appreciate work @laginoo has done. :good:
thank you ... no border version of the recent apps launcher would be great, as would the Documents/Downloads UI
there were also some other (but less commonly used) menu items that still appear white: sub-menus in Personalization, Ringtone/Notification sound selector, Complete Action with dialog, etc. and if you had time to spare it'd be great if you could darken these as well!
thanks for all your efforts!

Having some issues with dialer/contacts (I think) but don't know if it's from your theme or some other modifications I did. There is no dial button in portrait mode, only in landscape. Are you having this issue as well?
Edit: Also white version (I believe these are the original ones) gives error while trying to flash in both TWRP and CWM. I also tried downloading again with no luck.
Had the same issue, navigation bar disappeared after proper installation. Had to back up data

Hmm... Did you install framework-res.apk from my mod?
Hi! Yes I selected "all files" at each step of the installation. I just retried, still no nav bar nor status. Strange. I use Gravity Box, Gem Xperia and Xperia xposed ! Might interfere ?
D5503 UB jfxperias' KitSlim_AMG
To make it clear is navbar those softkeys with back, home and recent? If yes I'm not complaining about those. I hid those on purpose and I'm using gestures. I'm taking about the green phone icon not present in portrait mode, that's my problem.
Edit: OK so my problem was exactly from hiding softkeys and not from your mod. Once I enabled them back phone icon is visible again in portrait mode.
unable to sideload apk
after installing v2 of this mod, I've not been able to sideload apk files. the usual "install" dialog appears, but after clicking "install" I get an error message saying my file manager cannot open the file
i've tried this with different file managers, same problem. anyone else experiencing this issue?
Yes ! I have also the bug when trying to install an apk with a file manager ... problem could be on PackageInstaller.apk ... i' m downloading the white restore package (should be stock) and will try to flash only this apk ...
If not working will restore my cwm backup and will try to replace apk with stock ..
Give u report after... :highfive:

So @TheQwertiest i think you have a bug in package installer apk
Thanks for you work

I'm so sorry guys!!! I know what the problem is with package installer - PackageInstaller.odex file is missing. Also there is a typo in restore package, so it won't even start flashing.
I want to fix it as fast as I can, but I'm in Japan currently without my PC, so can't do anything till I return...
I will roll the fix as soon as I return (around 8th November).
Sorry again and thx for those bug reports!
Hi,
I've been trying to apply a new theme on my OPO, and everything works great except the quick settings background, which keeps being all-black.
It happens with all kind of themes.
I have the latest version of blisspop rom so far (V3.9 30.8).
When I did a full wipe and re-flashed the rom the problem was solved, but I don't want to lose all my data and start all over again..
So I assume the source of the problem maybe some data or wrong setting optimizations.
the rom's white/dark theme option doesn't change the problem.
I also have Xposed installed on my device, if that affects somehow....
Please help!

substratum doesn't supported by lenovo p2 stock rom.
So use it at your own risks.!!
Reflash stock rom if you facing problems this is only way to get rid of installed theme.

Yes ! themes are working but use at your own risk.. It can brick your device. Bcz stock roms doesn't support OMS. And will modify system stock files. And if anything goes wrong your device might brick/stuck at boot logo.
Sorry for bad English.:good:

The best thing to do is to keep a twrp dackup. If anything goes wrong, install stock deodexed ROM and restore back up.
I did had a few issues at first. But the phone will definately not get hard bricked.
If you know to use substratum properly, then you'll find 2 flashable zips inside the substratum folder. One of which can be used to restore the theme to factory settings
Only apps that will work is Playstore, Android Message App if you want a dark messaging background, Whatsapp, and Youtube. Everything else, no cause it is not Stock Android Apps; including settings. I used Swift Black Theme. Any other app can possibly work if it's on the list to theme it over.. If it doesn't, it' will say so or if the app fc.. Just go to the Overlay List and erase the App that is not working properly. Once your done, reboot and it will take effect.

True, usually that is used if you are doing OTA and the System UI crashes. It does help to get out of that situation when flashing the Substratum Recovery.

Loneelutes most substrate overlays will work. But notification text may get blacked out some time. Pitch black theme would do better in all aspects. All of its overlays worked for me.
I too had pretty bad experiences on stock ROM with substratum..
I use swift black (paid) in custom roms ..but on stock ROM ,I can't even update theme ..
Once if theme gets applied ,we can't change ..
System refuses to change .. and gives me bootloops..
So ..I just apply themes only to Apps but not system files ..
Even though some apps FC when they are updated from playstore , they can be troubleshooted easily ..
Warning : don't change system ui , pixel launcher ..
Things I change :
1) WhatsApp
2) navbar
I don't open others much ..so I don't care about them to be themed ..

Havent had issues with Swift Black..... So just test them, if it doesn't work.. Just go to the overlay list, erase and reboot. It's all about trial and error. Subtratum theme works on whatever app is listed for each theme.. When updating, you have to apply and reboot.. If that doesn't work.. Erase the apps that is themed in the overlay list and then reboot.. Apply the theme as if you are dling it for the first time and reboot again.
It's a bit tedious but that's Lenovo Stock for you. You can try Youtube and Google Playstore too.. And if you want messaging to have a black theme too.. Try Android Messaging app, Swift Black works on that app.

What's Android version should I pick when I apply the theme??
depends iff you are on a custom rom then its oms and iff on stock rom then experimental although the themeing isnt as good as oms it is still acceptable and does theme most apps.
