How have you guys gotten it to work? I found a couple apps form the play store, installed them, rebooted, selected them, rebooted and it still didn't work. Even with just nav bars.

BTW i'm on H811

Only navbars? What did you try? Is for you layers engine working?
Did you noticed that the navbars are vectordrawables and you have to replace the xmls?
I've never worked with xml files. I'd like to change the stock LG notification nav button, using the back button triangle image but facing point down. How complicated/difficult would that be?

VS986 LG G4

DOH! be careful removing installed layers themes, LG uses them on all their system ui and apps. i installed the Graphite theme and somethings didnt look right so i went in to remove them and hit delete all and then apply before i realized it. the list of installed layers was pretty long and it was all lge.appname. when i rebooted, i didnt get a homescreen at first but after a few minutes it finally showed, no idea how though, and everything i did caused SystemUI to fc. no app drawer, no nav buttons, no notification shade, no status bar

couldnt get in to do a factory reset so had to reflash the rom i was using. if you are not using a rom but just stock rooted, be very careful what you delete with the layers manager. apparently LG uses layers for their UI
