Android L Theme and Apps for Micromax Unite 2 and other Kitkat devices

None or few of this work is mine, i am just collecting all apps/themes/tweaks to make stock-based roms look more like Android L and have more features of Android L.
Root needed for maximum numbers of apps.
1. First of all, edit build.prop, find "ro.build.type=user" and change it to "ro.build.type=userdebug" (use es file explorer or any build.prop editor)
OR
Flash already edited build.prop flashable zip in recovery. Download from here
2. Reboot
3. Download calender, books2, drive, keep2 from here (other apps not tested but working links for them are below):
4. Uninstall old Exchange services (use any app like titanium backup) then install Email, exchange services, fit, from here
5. Play services (download from play store) or from here:
6. Search and launcher from here
7. Messenger from here
8. Play music from here (suggested to update from play store)
9. Uninstall old Gmail from system (use titanium backup or any other app), reboot, then install form here
10. Keyboard 4.0 (read notes on how to install):
apk
lib OR Download this and flash in recovery.
11. Sounds (Flashable zip) from here
12. Fonts (Flashable zip) from here
13. Icons (Flashable zip) from here
14. Bootanimation and Logo (concept) from here (by me)
15. Install Xposed framework from here
16. Download and install Android L theme from here (Thanx Paras Jasal for fixing the theme and uploading and Yogesh Gosavi for re-uploading and providing this link)
17. Download HKThemeManager from Xposed itself and enable it. Reboot.
Apply Android L theme in HKThemeManager and reboot.

Well Nice thread, But How can you differentiate the Android L theme (HKThemeManager) Version with the Android L theme(Xposed Module) - Actually I'm in Confusion which one to Choose ? Your Version of Android L theme is Good but not as fast as Xposed one in my device..

I apply the android l theme by paras... In dialer when I dial any number using themed dialer the digits are not visible... I think the color of both background and dialed digits are same (white) .. Please fix this by changing the color of dialing digits in theme...
Apart from this awsome job sir... Well done...

Incomplete pixel icons

I've flashed the latest OpenGApps package which contains Pixel Launcher and Pixel Launcher Icons on my OPO with CM14.1 nightly. However I found that it only applied to a few icons (see screenshot). I tried clearing all data of Pixel Launcher but no luck. I'm quite sure all these apps are the latest versions.
Does anyone have any idea on this? Any help would be appreciated.

OpenGApps: http://opengapps.org. Package higher than full (including full) contains Pixel Launcher and Pixel icon. If your system partition doesn't have enough space you can put a gapps-config.txt alongside the zip you've downloaded. Just follow the guide on its GitHub wiki page (https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options) and exclude some apps that you don't need. You can also tweak it further like uninstall stock apps while installing Gapps.
P.S. Aroma is not recommended if you're flashing it via TWRP. It stucks on the latest TWRP. But it works well with Flashfire.
If you're also seeking for the live wallpapers in the screenshot, check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/port-live-earth-wallpapers-t3481640

Well the aroma package features a user interface for you to select the items you want, however it will crash TWRP while flashing. Even if you are using Flashfire it's quite buggy when selecting the items, making it nothing like a pleasant experience. Therefore, I really don't recommend it. I highly suggest you use the stock/full package and set up a gapps-config.txt manually according to your preference.

So will the Stock/Super package come with default Pixel Launcher And Icons included in it ?
I just want the pixel launcher with the icons since i have already flashed pixel zip but it doesn't have the icons as pixel's!!

Yes. It is included by default. Seeing it's just Pixel Launcher and Pixel icon you need, you can also try configure gapps-config.txt as only include Pixel Launcher and Pixel icons.
But just as the description I've made, I found that the icons aren't completely applied. In fact, only phone, message, calendar, drive, play games and play newsstand are in the new icon style. The rest remains the legacy appearance. I've googled for quite a long time and I haven't seen anyone discussing a similar problem.

Thanks Mate appreciate your help:good:

PIXELize your S8/S8+ and debloat

This is for those who does not really want all the fancy features that are present in Stock Touchwiz ROM and prefer to only have what is on Stock Android or Pixel-like experience.
All credits goes to the creator of each mod involved.
Requirements:
- Custom recovery like TWRP
- Rooted Phone (SuperSU / Magisk)
- File Manager with Root Access. I use Root Explorer
- OpenGApps (arm64,7.0) (package: stock/super/aroma) - This will enable some Nexus/Pixel exclusive features and install Google Apps that are preloaded on Nexus/Pixel Devices including apps that usually can't be installed as normal apk such as below:
- Google Phone
- Google Contacts
- Google Camera (Slow Motion isn't working)
- Google Now Card (swipe to right)
- Google Search Pill
- "OK Google" voice detection
Instructions:
* First thing to do is to flash OpenGApps via TWRP
Link: http://opengapps.org
* Install a navbar overlay from below thread to get Stock Android (AOSP) NavBar or Pixel NavBar. Install it as normal apk.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341
* Replace the stock Pixel Launcher (located at '/root/system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt/NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk') with this modded Launcher (link below). This launcher is basically the same as the stock Pixel Launcher with enabled features like round icons for app that supports it. More information on the original thread.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/launcher3-pixel-launcher-features-t3620972
* Below are some apps i'm using that are supported:
- Google Photos
- Google Play Music
- Google Drive
- Google Calendar
- Google Calculator
- Google Keep
- Google News&Weather
- Google Playstore
- Google Drive
- Google Calendar
- Youtube
- Gmail
- XDA Labs
- XDA Feed
- Twitter
And now that you got all that is required to have a Pixel-like UI / Experience, it's time to make your ROM lightweight.
* Create a folder in your Internal Storage or SD Card named "system" and inside it, create folders "app" and "priv-app". This is to make sure that you can always revert back the changes that you'll make.
* Open your File Manager with root access and navigate to "root/system/app" or "root/system/priv-app"
This is where you can find all the installed apps in your system. In my case, what i do is "cut and paste" the whole folder to Internal Storage and then reboot to remove the bloat that i don't need.
I am currently on Renovate Ice ROM - r98 build (AQF7 FIRMWARE) and below is the list of what i have removed.

I am not getting any Force Closes / Crashes / Errors. Just make sure to reboot your device after cutting and pasting system apps to your Internal Storage.
When you realized that you needed something back, just copy and paste the whole folder to where you got them and set the correct permission.
For the folder, set the permission to "rwxr-xr-x".
For the apk inside, set the permission to "rw-r-r".
then reboot your device.
If you want to have an updated google apps as soon as it becomes available, you may download latest apks at apkmirror website then replace existing apk in the system, set the correct permission, and reboot. I've done it to almost all google apps without any issue.
I will try to update this thread to include all apps that can be removed based on stock firmware that's freshly installed.

Sweet! Could you please provide the applock apk. Thanks

Sweet, I've actually a similar setup, except I'm just freezing apps and didn't bother flashing Gapps.
Also I'd recommend modifying key layout and use ASSIST for the key function. Having Google assistant on bixby button is dope !

Yes. I am aware of that but i don't really need it as i am having a great battery life and performace. Also, it can easily be installed back in less than a minute if i want to.

I am Stock but rooted ROM, tried to flash Super GAPPS but its failed throwing ERROR 70 telling that GAPPS are already installed but in fact I haven't. Is this could be limitation due to STOCK ROM?

I am always getting that message even with custom roms but it always proceed anyway. I also have tried flashing gapps on stock rooted rom successfully before on my S8. Maybe your gapps is corrupt or not fully downloaded.

I have tried again flashing newly downloaded gapps file but again same error. The message thrown is "insufficient storage space available in system partition. You may want to use a smaller Open GApps package or consider removing some apps using gapps-config."

You can. Download shortcutter, grant it necessary permissions. Add a battery tile from shortcutter to the quick settings and anytime you click on it, it takes you to the battery stats. I have also disabled device manager.

[App][Google Phone Contacts Messages Apps][Flashable][Arm32][Arm64][Android 6.0+]

Google Dialer/Phone Contacts Messages apps flashable zip as system apps which replaces stock(AOSP) phone contacts & messages apps.

Latest available nodpi apps from APKMIRROR.

As google phone, contacts & messages apps are working perfectly as user apps, I think no need to flash them as system apps.. but then stock phone, contacts & messaging apps get useless & annoying if google apps are used... So in reality we need to only disable or deactivate or remove those stock apps. Now magisk is nice way to hide system apps.. also i found out a way to hide those stock apps without deleting them from their place...
So.. soon I'm going to upload those zips.. they are tiny zips & functionality wise universal compatibility with both arm 32/64 devices..

General ZUI 12/13 Notification Fix (ROOT)

For those who have problems with notifications using ZUI here is a possible solution that I found in one of the XDA forums.
Need: Root (Magisk)
(I think there is no way to revive notifications if they are not root)
you'll need magisk then flash this 2 modules;
1)quickswitch
2)shady launcher
(Both available here)
1)flash those 2 & reboot.
2)open quickswitch app & choose shady launcher then reboot.
3)go to setting>apps>default app>home app>shady launcher.
4)open security>autostart>enable for *your apps*
5)security>acceleration>setting>protection list>add *your apps*
side notes : setting>notification>notification management>*your apps*>allow
this fixes should/might be working for other device running ZUI CN too.

With that all (I think) notifications will work
But since not everything can be good, it has its bugs.
Bugs:
(Only using third party launchers like Nova Launcher, Smart Launcher, Microsoft Launcher, etc))
1.- Screenshot option not working
2.- Delete backround not working
3.- Tap to back to apps not working
Solution= Use Shady Launcher xd
Edit: Probably some are saying: "This works with any installable launcher as a system"
And correct, if it works with any launcher systemless xd
If you don't like Shady Launcher because of how dated it looks then I'll also give you Lawnchair Systemless (With this, unlike the previous one, if third-party launchers work)
Edit 2: Quickswitch is not necessary, you can skip it if you want.
Edit 3: Excuse my english, I use google translate xd
Edit 3: If for some reason it doesn't let you choose a default launcher when you go to startup, then go to the following address:
Settings > Apps Management > Defaults Apps > Home app > Select launcher systemless

This would be all, I hope it works for you and again, sorry for the lousy writing.
