Yes it works just fine. Nougat has built in legacy support as long as you have SuperSU

OK sweet. One theme in particular in its description says to delete vendor/overlays folder before applying. Is this necessary? Or will hitting the restore stock theme in substratum app before applying a new theme be sufficient? (Do we even need to do that?)

Just use ones marked as pixel 7.1.1 compatible (swift black or swift dark) and everything just works.

[App]Sony's Panorama Beta! - For non Sony Phones :)

This is not my work but that of jimbo77, just thought id post it here for those that were not aware (pretty cool app!!)
jimbo77 said:
Hi Everyone!
Have you seen how the new Sony's Cameras capture Panorama Photos by moving the Camera all the way the scene you want to capture?
Well today a beta app developed by Sony can do that in our Mobile Phones...
I've found the app in the original thread for a X10 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116055 and i've corrected the script so we can also enjoy this beauty app...
DISCLAIMER!!!
Always do a back first in case it breaks anything and i'm not responsible if anything happens to your house, your town, your country or your dog... Use it at your own risk though it doesn't mean a major threat since the propetary files go to framework without breaking recovery or something else...
Instructions:
1.- Download and flash through CWM 3+ this script:
1.1 - Download Script
The script contains two SE Propietary files needed for the app to work.
2.- Download and install the attached app named:com.sonyericsson.panorama.apk
Install the app normally through any explorer like a side load.
3.- Enjoy!
Attached you may also find a few pictures taken it really works good on daylight!
Glad my work? Buy me a Beer!

App attached for your convenience along with an amended script for use with the Desire S and a complete package with app & fix too
Sorry i'm a noob ..don't know what CWM 3+ means.
And if it is about flashing... does it work on S-On ?
Thanks.
Flash script is ok but after, I can't install com.sonyericsson.panorama.apk

This is for the galaxy note 5 and is a much higher resolution then your phone and is why it is posted in the galaxy note 5 forum. I guess I should have mentioned that. The resolution in the DarkMatter.sjon is set for 1440x2560 and shouldn't even show in Theme chooser on your phone.

All the applets are moved the the overlays directory during install and once install is complete are in data/app. You might
see a couple applets left in data/overlays once install is complete if you don't have the corresponding app to overlay installed on your phone. But if you don't see Theme.DarkMatter-1 and many other folders named Theme.DarkMatter.* in data/app the install never finished. Look at the screen shot that is what you should see in data/app

Try running the install again then see if the folders are removed. If they are reboot to recovery clear cache and dalvek again then try the install one more time.

[Guide] How to enable Google Assistant on your Nexus 5X

GO to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-enable-google-assistant-t3477879
All thanks to him!
Works on any 7.0+ ROM with Google App version 6.5+
Just remember to clear data from your Google app after you make your build prop edits. Reboot and then you'll see Google Assistant
I'm not responsible if your phone blows up blah blah blah...

Like i asked in the other thread, have you tried reverting the build prop to see what happens? I wonder if it would stick or revert back to the old Google settings.

can confirm working, (using October update on a 5x) and 6.5.35 use the zips and flash them like instructed in the video the manual first method doesn't work
Reverting back from Pixel to Nexus 5X im build.prop works just till the reboot. Then it can work just for one shot or two if lucky after having reboot done. Then it does not. At least on mine. Had to move from Czech to English anyway.

You can read up on magisk here
Basically magisk allows you to modify /system without actually modifying /system.
My mod just adds the two properties
Code:
ro.product.model=Pixel
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
to your build.prop to enable Google Assistant.
Has Google assistant stuck on for anyone else after a few reboots?
I decided to revert the ro.device line back to Nexus 5X and it's still there!? how cool!?!
Nice. I only have one issue. Google assisted always wants to relearn my voice. For that reason i am not able to use the OK Google command.

First you need to find the name of the package it's conflicting with so I suspect it's conflicting with CMFileManager.
If you have 7zip you can double click on the pixelfy file go to META-INF/com/google/android/ then drag out the updater-script into a folder or your desktop.
Open the updater-script with notepad and then let me know once you have done this.
Which file manager app is it conflicting with?
This is brilliant. Amazing work as always by @daleski75

[REQUEST] [PORT] AOSP 7.1.1 Launcher for Marshmallow

Can someone port AOSP 7.1.1 Launcher to Marshmallow?
I know about Pixel Launcher existence, but I don't want the Google App and I don't like the limits of the Non-Prime third parties Launchers (Nova, Action, etc...).
Also I've related question: Has AOSP 7.1.1 Launcher the "Frost Dock"? Even as Non-system App?
"Frost dock" is only for nougat, no way to get it on marshamllow withouth custom launcher like nova apex etc. Download Pixel launcher and unistall google app. should work

You can't deodex a single APK, you can only deodex ROMs as a whole.
The easiest thing to do is to just get another APK from a deodexed ROM. Any aosp ROM should do, ik CypherOS is one ROM that includes plain Launcher3 (however, they rebrand it to Luna, for whatever reason)

First I unzip the ROM archive with 7-zip
Then I use this tool to convert the system image files from sparse to raw. It requires Python, but I prefer the portable version. I copy the sdat2img.py file in the extracted ROM directory and I execute this command in it:
Code:
P:\ath\Python-Portable.exe sdat2img.py system.transfer.list system.new.dat system.img
Then I use this other tool to explore the just created system.img file (I don't know why, but sometimes 7-zip fails to extract the file from img files).

I'm sorry, I misunderstand what you exactly mean; I thinked that you mean inside the app directory, that not contains the classes.dex file.
Then I reread your post and I understand: you mean inside the apk file, and checking, I noticed that it contains the classes.dex file.

I tried SlimLauncher and it works, but I think it's buggy: also disabling SearchBar in settings, it remains.
Additionally, the Dock isn't "frosted".

No sería mejor crear un .zip flasheable de la carpeta donde se encuentra el apk? Se supone deberían estar el apk y el .odex
