mrk, which theme were you using for that GoneMad music player gif?

mrk · 5 May 2015 at 16:50

No theme but something I made up using the Theme Builder built into GoneMad. Started off with Dark Material with Amber accents then customised all the views and sorting settings.

Anymote, don't use my Harmony any more since I purchased this. Does my TV, AV Amp via IR and Kodi via WiFi.

how does it work via wifi? for instance i have a panasonic tv and a nexus5. how would my nexus 5 sending a signal through my wifi work on the panasonic tv that's looking for a IR signal?

Apologies for being incredibly lazy, but are there any decent dark Lollipop themes for Cyanogen? Specifically for my OPO.

I'm pretty happy with Nicholas' Dark material, although there are still one or two minor quirks.

are the two I'm using, though the second one has some dark text in places that make reading it a little tricky sometimes, hoping it will be fixed soon.

QuickPic's Photosphere and 360 panorama support is excellent. Best photo gallery and manager out there tbh.
