[Theme][RRO][Layers] Simple Blue Layers theme for Oxygen OS2 [18/01/16]

[Spannaa]

Oxygen OS2 supports Layers but a lot of the themes available have incompatible overlays or have Oxygen OS2 icons missing. I made this Simple Blue theme specifically for Oxygen OS2 on the OnePlus 2 to replace a lot of the stock, cyan coloured icons, pngs and text with blue versions. It works in both default and dark modes and in dark mode, the accent colour can still be applied to settings and file manager etc.

It is packaged as a Layers Manager plug-in apk which is installed like a normal apk ('Unknown sources' must be enabled in Settings > Security). You can then use the Layers Manager app to install the individual overlays. You can also select Thin or Stock blue icons for Framework, SystemUI & Settings by selecting their style-specific overlays and choosing Stock or Thin at the prompt.

A custom recovery (TWRP) and root (SuperSU) are required to use Layers Manager and this theme.

General Overlays:
- Calculator
- Cell Broadcast Receiver
- AOSP Email
- Contacts
- Dialer
- DocumentsUI
- Framework
- GMail
- Google Keyboard
- Google Plus
- Hangouts
- Inbox
- Keep
- Layers Manager
- Messenger
- Phone
- Play Music
- Play Store
- Settings (chioce of one or two columns)
- SuperSU
- SystemUI
- YouTube

Style Specific Overlays:
Stock, Solid or Thin icon overlays for:
- Settings
- SystemUI
- Framework

Downloads:

Oxygen OS2: Simple Blue RRO Layers theme apk (Updated 18/01/2016)
Hydrogen OS MM Beta: SimpleBlue Layers Theme apk (Updated 24/02/2016)

IMPORTANT: If you're upgrading from a previous version (v1.2.2 or below), uninstall all SimpleBlue Overlays via Layers Manager before installing new Overlays as the plug-in has been completely rewritten and some Overlays have been re-named.

Issues:
Although this theme has been tested extensively, if it's combined with overlays from other layers themes, you may get bootloops caused by a bad or incompatible layer. If you do:

1. Boot into TWRP
2. Mount system
3. Go to Advanced
4. Go to file manager
5. Go to /system/vendor/overlay/ and remove the bad overlay apk
6. Reboot

Nice work mate. Notification Pulldown and dialpad ss look very nice in that color ?

 

[Waterdroid]

Looks pretty cool! The notification & QC drawer is a little too blue for my taste, would've liked a white-ish background with blue accents (such as in Settings) more.
Also, screenshots of the keyboard attached.

Font in eBay notifications is white on a white background, can anything be done about that?

Looks like the eBay app is picking up the text colour from the framework layer but using its own background colour.

Test it by removing the framework layer via layers manager.

If that's what's causing it, you'd probably need to add an eBay layer with a dark background colour.

Can't really force eBay notifications, so I'll have to wait for one of my pending items to ship out. Will keep you updated, and thanks for the reply.

It works flawlessly, thank you!
Please make other colors!
A bright theme as water Droid said would be great, it could look like CM12 Flux white theme for instance.

I noticed a bug (maybe it's not) : once zip flashed, network and wifi icons have changed.

Thanks.

I may do other colours/themes in the future.

Not a bug - it's part of the SystemUI layer ?

With framework checked off, see attachment. Also white font on a white background. Am I wrong to conclude that it isn't the framework being looked at by the app then?

I'll check...

These are set to white in Framework:

TextAppearance.Material.Notification 
TextAppearance.Material.Notification.Emphasis 
TextAppearance.Material.Notification.Info 
TextAppearance.Material.Notification.Line2 
TextAppearance.Material.Notification.Time 
TextAppearance.Material.Notification.Title

This is set to white in SystemUI:

TextAppearance.Material.Notification.Parenthetical

If you turn off SystemUI too and the text on the eBay notification still isn't visible I'm not sure what's causing the issue.

Is it Visible without any of the layers installed?

Great work as usual mate.

Just a heads up. When on a call and you want to add another call, dialer font is almost undistinguishable.

I've not seen that as the situation hasn't arisen for me yet.

What rom are you using? - The statusbar battery icon isn't stock Oxygen OS.

It's actually part of oxygen (I'm on 2.0.2 stock):

Sorry, that didn't justify it was oxygen. Here's my system info:

Cheers for the screenshot - I didn't realise you could change the battery icon from there!

I'll try to revert that text to a dark colour whilst leaving the rest unchanged and add the fix in the next update.
