Hello!

Changing the wallpaper will sometimes completely revert ColorBlendr changes

Pixel stock 14, app 1.2

The switch from One UI 5 to 6 on Samsung devices seems to have broken the ability (of many similar apps) to change the primary material you color. Is this something that can be fixed? Just asking, no expectations.

As stated above, ColorBlendr keeps getting selected by itself under per app theme.

This leads to a potential crash loop on colors applying as the app keeps getting refreshed by the system.

Hello, I'd like to propose to include your app into F-Droid. Somebody opened a request for packaging on F-Droid gitlab (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/rfp/-/issues/2626) so I need your permission to proceed.

part of the notifications ui and the search view in the settings app are still light gray after enabling pitch black mode; husky-ota-ap1a.240305.019.a1-f1130be5 rooted

i used Repainter before this and that worked fine but this one actually reset the MaterialYou colors and is not doing anything.

Yes, i tried restarting the phone, the service is running and repainter is disabled.

Mode: Shizuku
OS: Android 12
Phone: Sparx neo 7
Version: v1.2

ColorBlendr in the tank Android12.1 API 32 but android 12L also API 32 Is it supported?

If Android 12L is supported, this program does not work for my device.

I am currently using the 1.0.0 beta3 dev version built with developer source code and support for Chinese Simplified. No other code has been changed.

Hello,

I wanted to try out ColorBlendr for a bit, so I installed it from F-Droid on my Pixel 7.

After installing it (and using the rooting option), I found that I didn't want it after all, so I uninstalled it. (I did check to see if there was a particular method of uninstallation or "restore defaults" option that I should use, but couldn't find anything, so figured that maybe uninstalling might take care of that anyway.)

However, now, when I go to the "Wallpaper and style" page in Settings, I find that I'm missing the option for picking colour themes:

I'm pretty sure I remember there being an option to pick between basic colour themes before, but I can't see it now. The option still exists when using other (non-Owner) profiles which existed before ColorBlendr was installed, though:

If this isn't an issue with ColorBlendr, my apologies. If that's the case, does anybody know what the issue is?

In the case that this is something that installing ColorBlendr changed, how can I restore the option? (I'm happy with using adb shell and root if needed.)

Thank you!

The issue is that when restoring theme config in Colorblendr, for the color changes to take effect, the app needs to be cleared from recents and relaunched again and with that it shows the setup screen (Permissions, Root/Shizuku) in which you need to pick Root or Shizuku, after which you need to tick some toggle/change something in-app and only then the new coloring will apply. It needs to be done each time you restore the theme config

(This setup screen)

Basically, that it would be great if process of restoring theme configs could've been more seamless/streamlined

This issue persisted also on pre v1.4 versions of Colorblendr, so sorry for mentioning it that late

I'm using Android 13 QPR3, EvoX Custom ROM

After the OneUI update, app is completely broken, not a single feature work anymore (Shizuku mode) . I can help you to debug the app if you wish.

I hope you'll add the ability to change the colors of this palette. Because that's not possible at the moment

Have a nice day

Hello!

On a pixel 8 pro running stock android 14 on the December (QPR1) patch, the SystemUI and Google apps will keep refreshing until the colorblendr app is opened on reboot.

i wanted to setup the app without root but now i can't find the instructions i need when searching for "colorblendr setup shozuku" — or at least not yet.
please include or link to the instructions if selected Shizuku during setup.

Hello !
I just discovered this application, great work, really. I'm amazed by the results achieved.
I was wondering if it was possible to add a third option / tab in the first sceen. There is already 'Wallpaper colors' and 'Basic colors'. What about allowing the user to pick the primary, secondary and tertiary colors all by himself ? I didn't checked the code and I'm not an android developper, but naively I suppose the whole palette is processed from these 3 picks right ?
Best regards and thanks again for this wonderful app.

Xiaomi 12X
Miui 14.0.4, Android 13

Despite having set no power saving and automatic startup, the wizard procedure stops at the third screen

I have Shizuku active, and pressing "Start," nothing happens (lowering the notification curtain and closing it right away prompts for root as per the message in the screenshot)

For the moment I am using Repainter, but besides being out of date for a long time, I prefer to use as few apps on the playstore as possible

شكرا على مجهودك الجبار، حبذا لو كان يدعم تغيير الايقونات الى نمط ماتريال يو لكان افضل تطبيق على الاطلاق

The recently added MaxPermSize is not supported on Java 17. Did you also downgrade the Java?

Pitch black mode seems to get reset after every reboot and system ui reboot and i have to turn pitch black off and on for it to work, if this could be fixed it would be amazing

Android: 14
HyperOS: 1.0.3.0 from xiaomi.eu
Device: Poco x5 pro

The lock screen clock on AOSP 14 continues to follow the default color scheme (any clock that is not the one that's also on AOSP 13). Is it possible to make it also follow the color scheme.

Hi, I was playing around with ColourBlendr, but now some of my colours look weird. For example, I want the default light pink theme back now, but no matter how much I tweak it, some colours appear as strange dark purples, which I do not want. I am using it through Shizuku. I should have backed up my default config before but was wondering if anyone could send me the default material you file which I could restore through the app. Thanks.
(Edit:grammar)

Just wondering: from the app's description and screenshots, theming is applied globally. Still, the app requests the android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES. May I ask what for that is needed? Thanks for clarification!

Looks like some apps that have updated material components cannot be themed through the "force per app theme" menu, the app background stays the same (doesn't follow Colorblendr's Black theme for example), even after force closing the app.

Examples of such apps:

1. Copy SMS Code (https://github.com/jd1378/otphelper):
   —Older version 1.13.1 with old material components repaints by Colorblendr completely (including the background brightness), without using the "force per app theme"
   —While later updated versions (using most recent v1.13.4 in example) with updated material components cannot be completely repainted by Colorblendr even with "force per app theme" enabled for the app;

2. MRepo (https://github.com/MRepoApp/MRepo):
   —Older version 2.4.3 repaints completely
   —While later updated versions (using most recent v2.4.6 in example) cannot be completely repainted even with "force per app theme";

3. Open Video Editor (https://github.com/devhyper/open-video-editor):
   —Older version 1.0.2 repaints completely
   —While later updated versions (using most recent v1.1.1 in example) cannot be completely repainted even with "force per app theme";

But for example
LogFox (https://github.com/F0x1d/LogFox) in newer versions with updated material components repaints just fine (so, with it's background) when using "force per app theme":
—Older version 1.5.1 with old material components repaints completely without using "force per app theme"
—Later versions with updated material components (using most recent LogFox v1.5.7) repaints completely using "force per app theme"

Just thought I'd let you know

(I'm using EvoX ROM, Android 13 QPR3, Colorblendr v1.3)

While unclear if styles is a root only option or not, I am unable to apply styles when running via shizuku.

Running android 12 on LG G8

The pitch black theme option and the per app theme option are both not enabled for me. Please help me out with that. Thank you.

The colors picked don't seem to come from the wallpaper. They change when the wallpaper changes, but like, random colors are included.
Here is an example wallpaper:

And here is what the app pulled:

Where did the blue come from? It seems like every time the wallpaper changes, I can go into the app and one of the options will be accurate, but it's not always the same one. I'm trying to get it so that the most prominent color in my wallpaper is the accent color / what colors my quick setting toggles.

Sorry for the long read.

My wallpaper have a lot of different colors in them, and color blender chooses the dominant color, please add an option so that color blender will choose a material color based on a range.
Example: let's say I set the range from purple to green(which also means that blue ext is included), and my current wallpaper has the colors yellow, red and blue, blue is the least dominant tho so usually it would choose yellow, but because I set the range from purple to green and red and yellow aren't in there, it chooses blue as the material color

Here's what I want to do, I'd like to have a theme that changes throuought the day. I've already got automation apps that can send an intent at any given time. But I don't know if you can send an intent to ColorblendR with extra theme data to change the theme.
Or maybe there's a better way to do it?

• System: MIUI 14, Android 13
• MaterialComponents version: 1.11.0

Surface with elevation overlay has been replaced with tonal surface colors in Material's components.

Many of the dark natural colors in the latest material components v1.11 are based on N2 600 color. However, the black background of the xposed module is achieved by modifying 900 colors, which can cause this bug.

I don't know much about framework, but I think the module should implement a modification of android:lStar for effect

A couple of issues with per app themes:

With forced:

1. Backgrounds are messed up in most apps (i.e., black where there should be a different variant, several variants having the same color, backgrounds changed to make app hard to use [Google app, app manager, various other md3 apps])
2. Text seems to be forced white [Google messages]

Without:

1. Some apps [Google Messages, Google] do not seem to respect any background color changes

When I change my wallpaper it does not change the colors. The app will think its the same and still give the same colors choices as if the wallpaper was the same.

The background service notification is there indicating its running in the background. I have not messed with any settings and the only use for this app is to force apps to use my system colors (that don't follow my system colors)

to be honest not entirely sure what is going on, should probably look deeper into it

Description

When using ColorBlendr with Shizuku, the system icon shape gets changed and can sometimes not be changed back until ColorBlendr is disabled again and the device is rebooted. Changing the Icon shape using the System "Moto" app also doesn't help.

1. It seems that chosen/enabled apps in "Force per app theme" list don't persist when Colorblendr service turns off/on – you need to enable per app theme for needed apps all over again;

2. Since the list shows all system+user apps, the list could be very huge – filtering options for the app list would be helpful (system+user/user/system apps and launchable (only shows system apps that can be opened)/all for system apps filter);

3. Moving chosen/enabled/highlighted apps to the top of the list would help to easier keep track of apps for which this kind of theming is enabled, as opposed to finding them while swiping through the list;

4. As opposed to Colorblendr app itself that needs to be enabled in "Force per app theme" list to correctly see/preview the theme as user makes changes to it in the app (like changing the background brightness), maybe per app theme should be enabled for Colorblendr by default?

In Repainter, you can get full control over the system colors in Samsung's OneUI, even with Shizuku. The only caveat is that you have to restart the phone to apply the new colors. As for me, Repainter's full control still works on OneUI 5, though I have seen that it doesn't seem to work at all on OneUI 6. Is it possible to have the app get full control over the system palette on OneUI even with Shizuku like Repainter can?

While pulling down notification/qs panel it is very jittery. Even more jitter if there is music player showing in qs panel.

Muzei, a live wallpaper app provides an api to get current wallpaper as bitmap.
Currently as of ColorBlendr 1.5, it extracts colors from the Muzei app icon but it would be nice if ColorBlendr can extract colors from Muzei's current wallpaper image.

Hey, man. Great app. Just had a quick question. So, fidelity and content seem to always remain grayed out to me. Is this a result of me using Shizuku to initialize ColorBlendr or? I was hoping there might be some way for me to utilize those.

After using this application on my hyper os, the color of the buttons becomes strange, color inversion and other oddities even occur. Even though I deleted the application and removed root, nothing changed. help

is there some kind of method to the madness of defining custom colors and what aspect of the UI they change? i feel like i could make some cool themes or something but its wayyyyy too much trial and error to get it to look the way i want cause its impossible to know what does what and its just too much without some kind of label or key or something

the background service, although doesn't use much of the resources and can be hidden from the notification, doesn't appear to be all that necessary for the basic seed color change to work.

I tried disabling/force-stopping the app and the theming works just fine, atleast the basic color change which is all the shizuku mode offers. And this color change remains even after a restart

So is there any reason for it to stay running in the background for the phones that are using the shizuku mode?

So my wallpaper changes every 5 minutes and when I turn the screen off, color blender seems to be having problem detecting the wallpaper change, since several wallpapers(that all have different colors) have been switched around, and only after I open color blend, and turned off(and on) screen it detects the new color(force stop and then opening color blender also works)

It seems this app is not working with live wallpaper, after live wallpaper set, app will pick color from system default wallpaper and never follow live wallpaper update.
I'm on Android 13, MIUI 14, Muzei is my live wallpaper app, I use Muzei switch wallpaper automatic everyday. It seems Repainter works with live wallpaper so it's possible should be possible to pick color from live wallpaper instead of system default wallpaper.

Please implement shizuku support for the app so that non-rooted users can also get the benefits of this app

It would be cool if we could have dynamic theming for the most part but then set certain apps to always be a specific color / palette. Is this possible?

Gradient like how kdrag0ns app used to have. If at all possible other than that this is the only app that works perfectly on 14. Honestly great job.
