So ive mentioned how im up in the air between the s8 and g6. Development is slow on the g6 and the s8...well you know. So my s6 is so outta date, development is dying or dead shall I say. At this point I just want a new phone and am willing to run stock rom but i'm such a theme whore I dont know if i'd be able to live without [MENTION=2744223]Archangel[/MENTION] and TBO transparent apps. So would there be a way to get apps that are in zip form onto a phone with no recovery?

P.S im also asking this on TBO's thread in case you see the post 2 x's
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
I have been putting my apps in the system partition since I got the pixel without recovery. You just need a phone rooted that has rw access to the system partition recovery is really not needed just makes it easier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
So a locked bl wont prevent me from rooting? I just need my themed apks. the few that still exist.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chaz187:
No You have to have a rooted phone to do it.... And I believe the bootloader being locked will prevent this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
Ugh.....figures
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Well like my last Sammy phone,,,the S7,, the bootloader was never unlocked but it was rooted so I was able to load all my apps either through flash fire or manually since I had rw access to the system partition. RW access allows the changes to survive a boot otherwise it just reverts back to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
No brother thats a good thing cause you stand a much better chance of a phone being rooted than boot loader being unlocked on some phones. Take the S7, that thing was locked down tight on Verizon but, the devs managed to get it rooted. With sammy phones you have the whole bootloader and Knoxs issue that sucks big time.

But that S8 is surely great looking! I may get it just because they have a theme store,,,,although no one does a transparent theme there that I know of,,,maybe I should do one LOL!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
Ill test...lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Just posted an update to my Translucent Substratum Theme,,,,fixed Google Play Store white BG in the "Whats New" section (that was a pain as I dont use theme ready gapps and cant theme smali LOL). Also, themed documents/files apk transparent.

To those who purchased my theme, I sincerely thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To those who havent, your really missing out LOL :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Train88:
I don't remember that being a problem that required theme ready good sir.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Was just saying that my Substratum theme doesnt rely on theme ready gapps and because of that there are certain aspects of BG's that I cant change because they require smali level changes. The way I used to route play_white and the detailspage/whats new bg it required a smali change to make it all transparent.

With the new 7.7.31 play store, Google deleted a smali page (smali\com\google\android\finsky\ac\a.smali) that controlled the "my app&games" text that is tied into play_white so I had to redo the way I routed all my play_white in order to make that text white instead of what play_white used to be. It wasnt a bust at all on theme ready or anything brother. Just letting people know why certain text/bg cant be themed for my theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Man if it isnt one thing after another LOL,,,,updated my Translucent Substratum Theme,fixed the white bg on MMS for some devices, and themed Google Assistant when you long press the home button transparent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
[MENTION=2744223]Archangel[/MENTION] im back at decisions...will your theme work on non root phone...really want this damn s8 and this probably can be my answer. I know its not playing nice on my s6 but wonder if it will with the 8
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
I wish Substratum worked on non root phones,,,that S8 looks awesome though,,,if I were you I would def buy the Euro version that can be rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
Ughhhhjj...i cant buy outright. College Tuition starting.....damn damn damnView attachment 4128747
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
Please see a pm i sent
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Wheeew, I was beginning to think that you couldnt make Inbox transparent in Substratum,,,update coming fixing a lot of stuff! I really like that in-call dialer screen,,,just took Google dialer and made it better I think LOL. Oh and finished Google Calendar,,,even that pesky scheduled agenda second screen that webview would always turn white. I can easily turn all this code to inverted and do a complete Invert Substratum theme is there is any interest??

Update 1.5 is live in the play store fixed alot and added some more transparent apps,,,enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
I just purchased to support the cause. Looks good. Always been a fan since the cam blue days. Do you think it's possible to add the new Google voice app or is that out of the question?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Thank you for the support, it means a lot! And, its like your sitting here with me while I am working it LOL, yeah I am working on Google voice right now. I have everything done but a few more png's to alter and it will be in the next update along with a few more apps!!:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Almost done will update the theme in Play Store either tomorrow, or Monday at the latest,,,working on a for more apps at the same time. This is so cool because I can do all the apps I normally do that take hours to theme individually and put them in a single theme! Most of the have taken some major effort to make transparent. And the best part is when they update I dont have to re-do them LOL (unless they do some swapping of the base code). Def more to come!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Cool can't wait
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Included in the next Translucent Substratum Theme Update,,,,Google voice almost done and just finished Google News and Weather where the light theme is transparent and the dark theme is inverted!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Only thing I really noticed is the volume and picture delete prompt have a little white on white View attachment 4132544View attachment 4132545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Is that in an app or the main system ui and how do you go about bringing those up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
The volume is definitely system UI I believe. That's what mine looks like while using the volume keys to adjust volume. As for the deleting picture, now that you mentioned it, that could possibly be the gallery app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Okay brother thank you I will look into systemui overlay
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Not a big deal for me but thought I'd mention it. It's actually more complete than alot of the others
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Thanks brother, thats what I like to hear and its about to get a lot more in the next update!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] _alex74_:
Ahm.... Does substratum works on TW?

nope, TW has overlay from Samsung :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Yeah the more I try to apply overlays the more it screws it up. Best to probably flash a aosp custom rom then apply my Translucent Substratum Theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
My Translucent Substratum Theme has been updated including Transparent Email, Google Voice, Magisk Manager, and Transparent Google News and Weather (Light Theme=Transparent Dark Theme=Inverted). More to come!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Awesome looks great man. This is my daily theme!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Thank you brother,,,I really love to hear that! Wait til you see what I have in store for the next update,,,,its gonna be cool!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Okay brother stay safe!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Hell yes, there are already a lot of devs/themers that keep useful knowledge to themselves, or they say diff merge it,,,well that only works if it is a few changes otherwise you go blind looking for it. Screw that, if I know it I share! You are right, the amount of apps that can be themed is slowly drawing down. On a different note,,,,did anyone notice that Google Translate updated like 10 times in the last few days?????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TONY6669:
Can't find the white the edits you posted aint working lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
Why would Google push another update? They test their chit. Lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Yeah I can see those edits didnt help out at all,,LOL Looks good!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Ohh no they would never do that LOL. I think I have seen 15 updates to translate in the last two days. So glad I didnt hop on theming it when it first updated. Did Google go through a management shift lately? It really seems like their quality control has gone down a lot. I remember when updates were good and went through a process before publishing. Just look at News and Weather,,,,it's still having problems on some devices!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TONY6669:
Got it !!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
Lol! Yeah really. [MENTION=4595448]TONY6669[/MENTION] warned me of this back when he first started teaching me to theme (correctly). I'm really beginning to think you are on to something when you mention the change in Google management. Man, these guys can't leave their junk alone. Lol And yeah, updates used tho be a good thing, now it's a mess too fix a previous mess which creates another mess etc.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Tell me about it. I cant tell you how many times I just got finished theming an app and then it updates again LOL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
I'm starting to know the feeling. I just did a bunch of theming over the past few weeks and now it's all "old." I'm finally getting to the new Hangouts tonight, which I'm sure will be updated again tomorrow. Lol

I just have a feeling that with the new Gvoice integration and the calls feature it will update again. Lets hope it isnt a material design change!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:

Ohhh pretty important detail I forgot to mention with the last update to my Onyx Substratum theme, it also gives you the ability to pick your Play Store color from over 40 different colors and I am adding that ability to my Translucent Substratum theme too.

If I am not mistaken, its the only Substratum theme of its kind to do that, pretty cool I think LOL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Pretty cool! Not a request but If you get to bored the option to change for text would be great also

Miss all your stuff...the white kills me but if i dont open the apps...im good...lol. i miss google app for voice texting...this prebuilt asst...sux. i have no regrets. Have the 6 handy for when i go thru withdrawal...

LOL I hearya,,,was about to break out the credit card and buy the S8 just for fun but the wife stepped in dang her LOL. Doesnt Samsung still have a theme store?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Hopefully it won't be the flaky root method like the S7. All the issues with lag and battery drain
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
Yeah they do? Im runnin a custom theme made by venom....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
I know right,,,it was good to have root on the S7 but it kinda sucked LOL,,,but hey I never complain about getting root on a phone esp these days with how they are locked down tight!

Well at least they have that still thats a big plus!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Yea there's a couple of things I miss about it but I'm liking the pixel freedom

I am with ya there brother! I love the unlocked bootloader and the easy root. Now the moment Google stops that I am outta here LOL. Although the next pixel should be a home run I hope!

With Onyx 1.3 you now have control over your system accent color and varying degrees of backgrounds. Translucent 1.9 Substratum you have control over your system accent color only due to the transparent screens. Both updates will color your Play Store to match your system accents, which I think is so cool! Also fixed Play Store text LOL. Please enjoy!

[MENTION=2744223]Archangel[/MENTION]

Hey man. I have a relative that is a little older and as such, her vision isn't the best. Anyways, she's interested in your theme but has one concern. Sometimes with clear themes, the SystemUI gets to be a little too clear and the text in the pulldown gets washed out with the underlying text of the screen below.

I checked the Play Store screenshots and also get your G+ posts in my feed, but I haven't see any showing that particular scenario. I think that Alan makes his background on the pull down, slightly darker to defeat this, but not sure about yours. Clear Magpie has one that is even more slightly darker than Alan's, almost bordering close to opaque (which kind of defeats the purpose). Just trying to see what would work best for her.

Is there any way you (or one of the peeps in the thread) can post up a screenshot with any notification on it, but then some sort of text on the screen below so I can see the "overlay" (no pun intended)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Hope this help brother of course the text color changes with whatever system accent color you chose. I like blue for now lol
