Themer App FINALLY *Officially* Compatible - 27 Aug 2014

I thought I'd share with everyone that the app/home replacement named THEMER is finally LG G3 Compatible as of today.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer&hl=en
If you aren't familiar, all you do is install the app, chose from one of over a hundred themes you like, and apply it. Widgets, backgrounds, everything on yours will look just like the pictures in the app gallery.
I've been using it for quite some time on my Nexus 5, and was happy to find out it worked fine on the G3 via restore from TIBU when I upgraded.
Doesn't work for me, can't get no themes. Says it's officially supported but says me phone isn't compatible.

You have to be using a stock/oem DPI and navigation bar height. If you change either, it won't work well if at all.
I updated this morning and it is working fine for me still. Perhaps uninstall and reinstall?
Good news! Long time waiting! Works perfect here.

I had this problem are you using G3 tweakbox? if so go into it then the themes section then navigation bar and turn the switch to make it go to stock again, then reboot. This fixed it for me.

Ah, silly me. I changed the dpi back to stock but didn't think about the nav bar height. Thanks fellas ☺
I changed the dpi to stock with app settings module and still doesn't work hmmmm
So I changed the entire system dpi... But I couldn't get the nav bar transparent so
Once everything is back to stock you'll probably have to reboot

Can't I force it somehow to work on modified DPI and navbar? Stock is just too big. I suppose I could set a custom DPI for the launcher only via App settings (the xposed module), but can I do the same for the navbar somehow?
This is awesome! Thanks for the heads up! Going to take some getting used to not using the knock to unlock lol
Edit: hmm knock still works!

Nope.
Actually, the only other way to get it to work I read about in their subforums here. You have to change the DPI and Navbar in a manner that still gives you a supported resolution in the end. I don't have any problems with the stock nav bar, though I've got mine themed. some of the themed navbars have small buttons on them.
If you can install the app, you should be able to look at themes, you just can't use the Browse Themes/Trending/newest/Most Popular sections, When you apply others, they may not look right since your resolution is off. I don't think they plugged this loophole yet.

Don't know what the issue is. DPI has to be stock, status bar needs to be stock size and so does nav bar. If they all are, it should work fine.
If they are, and it isn't, you should post in their forums.

That's the thing, everything still works. The launcher portion is pretty customizable too.

Well in the browse section it points out that I have the wrong resolution, it doesn't do it at the categories, but they don't show anything. What's the stock navbar height? 48p?

What I used to do on my old phone is set it to stock, download the theme and set it, then change my phone to how I liked it. Most of the time that worked just fine, pain in the ass I know but worth a go if you want themer.

If this works then it definitely sounds like it's worth the 2 reboots. Thanks for the tip!

Works a treat - thanks for the heads up!

[Q] Problem after lowering navbar DPI

About a week ago I changed the DPI of the navbar to make it smaller and it worked fine, but then I noticed something strange - the back button seems to be a bit bigger than the other buttons.
Here's a screenshot: (delete spaces)

*XDA won't let me post links since I have less than 10 posts...
Its really annoying to my eye and I just see it every time i look at the navbar now.
Any ideas?

Its a known issue. Resize the drawable or don't resize the navigation bar.

I resized to 75% of the original size. Though now I have a problem with the landscape + keyboard back button being too small, but it uses the same pic, so there's nothing I can do about it.

Custom Navbar Buttons [No Root]

Has anyone used the Theme creator programme from Sony with there Z5 is it possible to just change the navbar buttons with it? Im guessing it's possible because Themes I've installed do change the buttons but I can't get to my laptop yet to try it. If it is possible I'm surprised there's no thread about it surely I'm not the only one who would like custom nav buttons.
Theres one there just called marshmallow. It uses the Google stock nav bar and doesn't look a whole lot different otherwise.

Think il get to my laptop next week and try making some custom buttons and making a theme with them.

Just replace the .png file of related nav button under a theme. Then istall that theme and you are good to go.

There's an app in the appstore which allows you to change your Navbar icons and configuration, assuming you're rooted. I used to use it on my Z3 and it worked like a charm.
Never used it on my Z5 and it's a paid app, so it's up to you.

Aye I've used it before works great, my Z5 isnt rooted though and until CM is available its likely to stay that way.
Yeah, Xperia themes can theme the nav bar icons without root. You can create a theme from scratch or simply modify an existing one. Use the Sony theme creator or use APKtool to decompile an existing theme and replace the nav bar icon images.
Just got to try this Theme creators well cool give it a try if you ain't already its very easy to use.

smaller navbar

Hey there
As the title says I am searching for a way to make the navbar smaller on Oreo
Saw many threads where ppl wanted to disable it but that's not what I am looking for
On Nougat I had some apps that made the navbar smaller but on Oreo it seems that those are not working anymore
Or maybe I am doing something wrong
Because I don't get substratum also not working (I know that changing navbar height with substratum is not working on Oreo atm?)
It's just working one time and that's it
Hope somebody can help me
No one? Please, the bar is very large, we need to oreo, please
Same here, updated to Oreo "crap" release and the navbar is HUGE! I want it a lot thinner. No solution I used before works now.
Until now nobody could give a solution or some mod?
I always used Renovate Ice ROM, with RiCE Tweaks app that allowed such customization, and much more. Not sure if it works with stock rom though. I agree, I always set my navbar to ~half of the original one, but that was also the case in nougat.

In developer options there is a minimum width option, try experimenting with that by increasing the number
Any news with this? The perfect solution would be an APK (like Nougat) that changes the navbar height

My substratum pack can disable it, but not set a height. Look up System Mods on play store.
Its under System UI -> Remove Nav Bar Immersive. Then make sure you install my app called Immersive and set it for Nav Bar.

Yeah I know that app and it's cool but that's totally not what I am looking for
I really like that substratum pack using it for making the navbar black
But in this case all I want it smaller navbar like on Nougat
Hmm

yeah it works, but changes the hole interface
with xposed and gravity box its possible to change the hight of navbar.
Just change the dpi in developer options, it won't make it shorter but the buttons smaller, looks so much better in my opinion.
this is what im looking for but no solution so far..
Same here.
Looking for this.

How to change height of status bar?

Hello,
One of the reason I hate holes/notches it that you loose real state of your gorgeous screen taken by ultra high status bar. Back in a day (before notches) status bar was as high as clock text with couple of pixels above and under it... Now it's a big massive space under and above.
I minimalized the space above by using adb (screenshot attached) :
adb shell wm overscan 0,-30,0,0
(BTW sometimes it resets back to normal view, does anybody know hot to make it permanent?)
But space below still irritates me...
Does anybody knows any mod (I'm rooted and with Magisk) to modify it?
You can check "system UI tuner" but doubt it can do that.
I did try but no luck...
Magisk, EdXposed & Gravitybox or Renovate Ice rom

Unfortunately no, I settled to just use this ADB command I mentioned and top empty space is gone at least, I would like to get rid of the bottom one (below notification bar text/icons) but no luck so far...

Renovate doesn't allow status bar height adjustments, just the nav bar height adjustments.

I'll give it a try but from the screen shot you provided the status bar height seem pretty standard. Navbar maybe is smaller, but I don't use Navbar, I'm trying to get status bar smaller.
