FAQ 🤓

How does ColorBlendr work without root access?

ColorBlendr utilizes adb commands to change Material You colors, allowing users to modify these colors without needing root access.

How does ColorBlendr work with root access?

ColorBlendr leverages the FabricatedOverlay API to dynamically change Material You colors at runtime without creating any permanent files.

Why doesn't ColorBlendr work properly on OneUI?

OneUI uses its own color palette for system apps, not Material You colors. As a result, ColorBlendr's modifications only affect Google apps and other apps that support Material You, but not OneUI system apps.

Why are some features grayed out or cannot be enabled?

These features either require a specific Android version or higher, or you need root access to unlock all features.

How do I properly uninstall ColorBlendr?

First, disable the ColorBlendr Service from app settings. Then, uninstall the app and reboot your device.

Is any personal data collected when I share a theme?

No. Community creations are fully anonymous — no account or personal data is attached. Only the palette itself, along with the name and description you provide, is submitted.

Why can't I apply a community creation?

Applying a community creation modifies system colors, which requires root. You can still browse, search, and upvote in Shizuku and Wireless ADB modes.

Can I automate theme changes with Tasker?

Yes. Enable Tasker integration in the app's advanced settings, then send a broadcast from Tasker (or MacroDroid / Automate) with:
- Action: com.drdisagree.colorblendr.action.APPLY_CONFIG
- Package: com.drdisagree.colorblendr (required — broadcasts without it are dropped by Android)
- Target: Broadcast Receiver

Supported extras — include any combination; only the ones you send are changed:

Extra	Type	Values	What it does
`seedColor`	String	`#RRGGBB`, e.g. `#3F51B5`	Sets a custom seed color and generates the palette from it
`randomColor`	Boolean	`true`	Picks a random vivid seed color
`wallpaperColors`	Boolean	`true`	Switches back to wallpaper-based colors
`monetStyle`	String	`TONAL_SPOT`, `VIBRANT`, `EXPRESSIVE`, `RAINBOW`, `FRUIT_SALAD`, `SPRITZ`, `MONOCHROMATIC`, `FIDELITY`, `CONTENT`, `CMF`	Sets the Monet style preset
`accentSaturation`	Integer	`0`–`200` (100 = default)	Accent saturation slider
`backgroundSaturation`	Integer	`0`–`200` (100 = default)	Background saturation slider
`backgroundLightness`	Integer	`0`–`200` (100 = default)	Background lightness slider
`pitchBlack`	Boolean	`true` / `false`	Toggles the pitch black dark theme
`accurateShades`	Boolean	`true` / `false`	Toggles accurate shades
`config`	String	JSON with any of the keys above, e.g. `{"seedColor":"#3F51B5","pitchBlack":true}`	Sends everything in one extra — useful since Tasker's UI has limited extra fields

Values outside their allowed range or malformed colors are ignored. Extras sent both individually and inside config — the individual one wins.
Sending any of the three slider extras turns off Mode specific themes, since the automated value replaces the separate light/dark slider setup.
If Update colors when screen off is enabled, automated changes are held back and applied once the screen actually turns off.
Example: a Tasker time profile repeating every hour + Send Intent with extra randomColor:true gives you a fresh random theme every hour.

How Shizuku is used

Can apply and reset Material You colors through Shizuku using `settings` and `cmd overlay` shell commands.

This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.

How this app uses Shizuku

ColorBlendr uses Shizuku to apply system Material You theming without modifying system files directly, by running privileged settings and overlay commands through its Shizuku service.

Apply custom theme colors: choices for style, seed color, saturation, lightness, pitch black and per app selections are merged with the current theme and written with the settings put secure shell command through Shizuku.
Reset theme colors: restores the original stored theme by writing it back with the settings put secure shell command through Shizuku.
Support Samsung palette handling: checks the Samsung Monet palette overlay and toggles it with the cmd overlay list, cmd overlay enable and cmd overlay disable shell commands through Shizuku when applying or removing colors.
