MATERIAL NOTIFICATIONS for rooted Nexus devices
Marshmallow and Nougat
[BETA]





How would you like to be first to try out this new theming app? How would you like to see a little color instead of stock white notifications?

I am looking for Nexus device owners to test Material Notifications. I have a Nexus 7 (2013) and I find that it runs perfectly on it, but before sharing it with the wider community, I would like to make sure it runs well on other Nexuses.

If your device is not a Nexus, or if you are using a custom rom, this probably won't work. If it does work, I would be glad to know.
Edit: Tested, works on official CM.

Whatever device you own, make sure you have a nandroid backup before using this app. If you get stuck in a bootloop or if your systemUI force closes, you can easily sort the problem by going into TWRP, mounting your system, opening the file explorer and deleting color.apk from system/vendor/overlay. Or you can use your nandroid.

Please note that I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Only test this app if you know what you are doing.

Thank you in advance for testing. I hope you will think it was worth your while! I'm looking forward to your feedback. Cheers!

Didn't change notifications colors

Nexus 6p
7.1.1 dev preview
Modified systemui apk
Thanks! I haven't tested on 7.1.1 yet, so I guess that's one thing I need to get down to! :)

Didn't change color--Nexus 6p MM Pure Nexus
I'm also using android N'ify so using a mod for notifications already.
Thanks! I assume N'ify overrides MN...

A thought just came across my mind. Do you think it would be somehow possible to have different colours for each app? Maybe based on the action bar of these apps or maybe completely choosable for the user?

Would app like this be legal on PlayStore? Google wants everybody to stick with white flat notifications
I'm not sure, but having said that there are lots of root apps and other types of theming apps (e.g. navbar) on the Playstore...

It's a great idea but I need to think about how to implement something like that. :)
