Here is the right way to get gnome-tweak-tool (advanced settings) to work therefore shell themes and extensions to work WITHOUT breaking your gnome shell

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions-common
sudo ppa-purge ppa:ricotz/testing
(type N and press enter at the end of the process)

Restart the shell (Alt F2 >> r >> enter)
