Layers support - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did anyone try layers on stock o2os?
And if, does it work fine?

---

Yes, Oxygen OS does support layers. I just found this out as well. There are a few themes that need to update/fix, like the 3 dot menu area in the dailer. Other than that everything works well.

Edit: you will need Root though to use the layers manager.

In which version of OxygenOS did you try layers?
Just yesterday I installed Layers manager, installed a Layers theme from play store, applied it, rebooted and stuck in bootloop..
I'm in lastest OOS 2.1.3-X with blu_spark kernel..

No, Kernel will not automatically install apps like busybox. I would start with the busybox installation and then trouble shoot from there.
How did you get past the bootloop of you don't mind me asking?? If you restored a backup, then good for you.

Yeah, I had a backup ready just in case..
So you have already installed busybox, then layers manager and you were ready to go?
I'm dying to get layers working [emoji1]

Yes. If you all the other necessary items installed (SuperSU, kernel of you're liking) then all you "should" need is busybox.

There's a much easier way you guys can recover from bootloop due to a bad layer. Just boot into recovery, then select twrp file manager, and delete the bad layer from system>vendor>overlay folder. If you have many layers and are not sure which one of them is bad, just delete the whole folder, that will just delete all the applied layers.
I tried many of the free layers available on play store. Almost all of them were working on my device, except Art, iirc. Which was disappointing since I read on the OP forums it was working fine for most people
However, most of the layers did actually miss a few settings icons from getting themed.
Another interesting thing I noticed - dark colored themes work best if you set dark mode on in OOS, and bright themes with dark mode off. I had fewer bootloops that way, don't really know exactly why it happens.
Anyhoo, here's some of the themes that I liked and are working perfectly fine on my device:
-Navigate
-Pastelz Light
-Simpl
-Zed
I'm currently rocking Zed, looks great :good:

i've tested a lot of layer theme. one common issue, if you install the framework overlay you will get bootloop when you reboot your phone. another bug, if you press the power button lil bit longer, it will soft reboot instead showing the advance reboot option. you can try install any theme but leave the framework first. try to contact the dev, or provide them with framework-res.apk so they can update the framework for oneplus x. hope this help you guys
