really?I'll have a test,thank you.
And be careful with painting the ui using substratum. Make sure the theme developer sais that his theme support Legacy.
Otherwise avoid painting the whole ui. NavBar and StatusBar are safe to paint. Settings app is safe too.
Those won't cause a bootloop and you can remove the non-working themes.
So avoid painting whole ui in Legacy unless you are sure about it.

Flashing this build
  • Fully removes Viper4Android which is lowering our phone's speakers sound.
Anyone who wants v4a, he can install it in magisk easy and fast.
This build we test the HTC drivers without V4A. If they are loud enough, we keep them, otherwise at the next build i'll restore LG audio drivers.

It doesn't need much digging.
V4A normalizes the sound and has a threshold at the peek to protect the woofers and speakers. But thats crap for the phone speakers unless we had big speakers like htc with boomsound.
v4a is useful for us only if we connect the phone to other speakers.
Anyway its better to leave this to people to choose and flash v4a only those who need it

On stock you can't paint the navigationbar unless you use xposed.
The color of the navbar is in the props for the stock based rom.
LG has set a prop :
sys.navibar.color
e.g.
Code:
setprop sys.navibar.color red
add that line with the color you like in the script that you download from me and you have in magisk to execute on boot and set the color you like.
any color that has a valid name can be used, e.g. cyan, pink, black, transparent,white, <anything with a valid name>.

Don't just download, gimme some feedback too, so that i can improve it.
This time i need to know, the HTC audio drivers are stronger or our LG drivers ?
Next build must be perfect

This is the real Sense 8

  • Keep your current audio drivers
  • Don't remove LGHome , we need it to theme the stock LG app icons

Since i don't have any feedback or any help , don't complain for anything related to the drivers (sound,image,camera)
I'm testing every new build myself, so it will take time to make it perfect.

**Don't dirty flash it over the previous build.
***If you want to dirty flash it, first (1)dirty flash your current rom to restore your stock audio drivers, then (2)dirty flash this build too.
Besides audio nothing has changed. I'm just uploading 2 builds now. One is the previous with HTC audio and this one with LG audio.
So if anyone wish to remain on HTC audio, ignore this build, but at least give me some feedback to know which audio drivers are better........

Remember, i'm not porting a whole rom. I don't need that.
To get the full experience of the look of a phone , we only need the apps and their dependencies. That way everyone can flash it on any rom.
It's reasonable.
Porting the whole rom, my base will still be the stock LG or Stock lineage for LG, but it won't be for everyone to flash it unless i maintained 2 different builds. Too much useless work for me. This theme as it is , it will work on any phone on android 6 or higher and on any rom....

Enjoy ~!

Very well done!
Some issues encountered....

1. HTC music widget does not work very well. Keep staying greyed out when put on the home screen
2. Cannot save weather settings

Even xposed Sense Toolbox works ! :)
Installing this afterwards works also very well :)

Viper? I know , at first it was there but I removed it because it lowered a lot the speakers phone volume.
Anyway viper can be flashed afterwards ;)
Thanks for feedback I'll check it but not right now cause I make changes to my rom. Next week I'll check the widget and the weather ;)

Not sure.. But it can be the drivers that installation is using. It uses the Sony drivers :)
Take your time ... Enjoy the rest of your weekend ...
