If it is just icons then,,and this is super easy,,,, take the stock phonesky.apk and use 7zip to right click it and open archive then take my themed phonesky.apk and do the same thing. Then swap out any of the png's in the res/drawables hdpi, mdpi, xhdpi folders that you want by just dragging them over and dropping from the unthemed apk to my themed apk. Then flash that apk once it is done. Let me know if you have any problems.

I know right! It would take nothing for them to throw a dark UI theme option in there. On another note, it anyone wants Inverted or Transparent Playstore 4.9.13 no update PM me.

Edit: When you PM me tell me whether you want JB or KK zip please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thereassaad:
[MENTION=2744223]Archangel[/MENTION] did u fixed that white color ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
I am pretty sure I took care of the in app permissions whitebg, but still on the lookout for the white bg around the circles. I will prob have you test it out soon as I have xposed modules running and all my bg is transparent anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
Yeah, the bright white and puke green its nauseating.

OP updated with Transparent Google Play Store 4.9.13 for both JB and KK. Found some more Bg's and cleared them out. Also changed the smali so this version wont update when they probably change the play store tomorrow LOL hahahahahahah

Didnt add the "no update code" to the inverted version yet if anyone wants it for that PM me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thereassaad:
Now fully working thanks for fixing that issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
If your rooted then you can download the theme (translucent if you want transparent or Onyx if you want inverted) you want and give Substratum root access and run all the overlays except for framework, settings, and systemui. If you are not rooted you will need something like the Andromeda app in the play store then set that up and follow the directions to run the adb privilege access which will then will give you full access to Substratum to run the theme. If you have any problems PM or email me and I am sure I can get you set up to the extent that your rom will let you. There has not been one person that emailed me that I havent helped. I am always around to help brother.

Q.... does anyone have Kitkat black themed apps ?

Can someone point me to the right place ?

Thank you in Advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Don't think there is still development for KITKAT. That's like cassette tapes lol might wanna get a new device
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marcdw:

Hello, all,,,anyone who is still on Android Nougat and willing to test out a merger of Translucent Substratum for both N and Oreo please PM me and you will have a free substratum theme for both systems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
I miss trans..ahhhhhh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Just updated Translucent Substratum with Android Oreo support. Make sure you select the correct part of the theme that matches the system you are running. In the left hand side there is a selection for Nougat or Oreo. Select whichever one you have and install the rest of the overlays. As always please let me know if you have any problems. For anyone who purchased my Translucent Substratum Oreo, if you send me your transaction number from the Google Play Store I will refund you that amount. Its not fair to just drop support for that app and make you buy something else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
[MENTION=2744223]Archangel[/MENTION] Does this theme the text also? I noticed that the option isn't there anymore
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Yeah I am figuring out how to add that back in because I like it. The way I had those files added and this current set up doesnt play nice with it. I will figure it out here soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Cool don't forget the signal bar option too if you can lol Happy Thanksgiving
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Crap,,,yeah that too LOL,,,,Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone else out there! Now is the time to stop and reflect on how thankful we all are and remember there is someone somewhere out there that always has it worse than you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Couple of things real quick,,,I just updated both Translucent and Onyx with Whats App 2.17.427 . Now, with this app in particular, I cringe every single time it updates. That's because they change so dang gone much in between the betas it is insane! Plus, I dont even use it LOL!

Next, Please, for the love of God, if you have theme version 1.38 or whatever of my themes, and the current version is 2.09,,, and you ask me for help, it is SOOOO obvious you got the theme from some place other than the play store. That is why most of your apps will not work. Please just pay the 1.50 and you will get all my help and attention. To date, there has not been one person that I haven't been able to help who has asked for it. I mean c'mon its 1.50,,,my kids pay more for their school lunches LOL!

Finally, I am thinking about incorporating my Onyx black theme into Translucent so it will have both transparent and dark themes for Nougat and Oreo. Let me know if that would be better or worse than just leaving it alone in the two apps they are now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
1.50$ to just support small independent devs and app themes and development. A 1 time payment for most likely, years of use. There is absolutely no reason to steal from devs. Google already does a fantastic job of that...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
So you're saying we will have the option to choose translucent or onyx on each app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Thank you brother,,,long time no hear. Yeah I think some people think these themes are a one time thing to make and thats it. I have to go in everyday and see whats updated and most Google apps update everyday LOL so thats everyday most of the time I have to go in and change and update something. So when I get someone who asks for help for why apps do not theme and I look at their log I see the version of the theme is like 20 versions old it is kinda like the nerve to get something illegally and then ask for help LOL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
I was thinking of putting the Onyx theme inside of Translucent. Of course, those that bought Onyx I would give them a code to get the newer Translucent free. Just wondering if that is worth the effort or just leave them as two separate apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
I would say separate as I like translucent and don't care for any other and I know some of my friends like black/onyx and don't care for translucent
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Yeah i will prob keep them separate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
I have got a lot of requests to do a Transparent Mega,,,so here it is LOL,,,its in testing now but will be included in the next update of Translucent. I will also do a inverted version for Onyx soon. Of course, that blue can be changed with whatever color you chose in android system inside the Translucent Substratum setting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
For those who use Box here it is LOL,,,I am including that and also updated Google Contacts to 2.4.1 and Google Play Store to 8.5.37 in both Translucent and Onyx, please enjoy!

Oh and BTW updated Both Translucent and Onyx with Google App 7.17.24, Google Calendar to 5.8.9, and YouTube to 12.47.57.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
What's up Devil Dog? I see you're still killing it with these Substratum theme things, lol. I guess the good ole days of theming are about over? I suppose one day I need to expand out of the dark ages sometime, lol.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
Hell yeah... thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Whats going on brother!!! Long time! Yeah still plugging away at these themes,,,it is a daily grind on my God! LOL. Everyday I get on apk mirror.com cringing at what updates daily LOL. I do at times, miss the old days of apps but, Substratum makes doing all the apps I have done in the past and more so much easier. If you need any help setting up Android Studious and the Substratum Template let me know if you want to get to doing some Substratum themes. Your work is superb!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
I'm still doing themes, mainly for myself and the guys on my team -- don't share for the masses much anymore. I think I will hit you up on the offer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikep2323:
Been using your stuff for a few years now and thanks for everything. I bought your theme and when installing on my note 8 the drive crashes and you tube is giving errors. It said in play store to let you know so I'm sending you a inbox with the error. Thanks and let me know if I can fix it.

I have that XDA Tapatalk we were discussing yesterday finished -- or as finished as I'm going to get it, lol. I spent nearly two days trying to find a white smali edit so that I could change it from white to orange or green -- also had to search for a gray one, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Okay so I need to know all white text or colored secondary text?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AquilaDroid:
I'd prefer a white option for all text, it contrasts with wallpaper better than other colors. Thanks for the huge effort you put into this, you're the most dedicated themer out there!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
I was thinking the same thing I will prob keep them white,,,and thank you very much for the compliment!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
I like colored but I'm good with whatever the masses think
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
Colored secondary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LeftyGR:
Check with [MENTION=7359484]cerj.[/MENTION] He has options all white, all colored, and white with colored secondary on his big blu theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Yeah I know I can add the option I was just trying to see what the masses would like I was on the fence about it LOL.

Looks like i lost youtube overlays...none work for me now....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
I thought YouTube never worked for you? Or do you mean all themes? Mine still works LOL. I am telling ya brother you need to get a Pixel or Pixel 2 they really are the best phones out now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
On yours it stopped.... but now on all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
It is this new design that Google is going with adding dark and light theme properties in the res/colors and styles that will eventually i think change with your wallpaper like some aspects do on Pixel 2 devices with the system drop down notification. Themers just have to go in and re-theme it since the change from 12.47.57 on up. There are a butload of people having Samsung problems on the thread, I feel sorry for them but not much we can do unless you do a whole Samsung theme which I cant do right now as i dont have the device. Its not like the old days where I can put out a themed apk for everyone to install. If someone wants to donate me a Samsung device I will have a theme out in a day or so LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
Assholes...lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
LOL Its s step in the right direction but man all these updates make it super hard to keep up with them. But get yourself a Pixel brother and you wont have any of these problems LOL!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
It's to quiet in here lol. Hey [MENTION=2744223]Archangel[/MENTION] I finally made the jump to Oreo since we now have a few Roms. Question.... I can't get settings text to theme which isn't a big deal and can't get phone app to theme. Google phone app says not supported when I downloaded it. The other is there but no dice. Oreo 8.1 Benzo Rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
LOL glad you finally updated. I just updated the AOSP phone app and that will be out in the next update. As for the Google Phone not being supported thats a rom thing my theme doesnt stop you from using it? If you get a log char error send it to me so I can have something to go off of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Nah I'm saying I can't get Google phone to work without your theme. Unrelated to you. This is what I get when trying to theme my phone app that does work View attachment 4373528
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Yeah thats the AOSP dialer and I never added a Oreo option because there never was an Oreo rom that I knew of that included this. I will put out an update prob tomorrow that fixes this for you. Google Phone might work for you if you go into your phones settings and select it as your default dialer? Thats what I had to do on my older Pixel with a custom rom in order to use it,,,just a thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Okay, both Onyx and Translucent have been updated with the rest of the overlays for Oreo custom roms. For Translucent AOSP Contacts and Phone are now transparent. For AOSP Phone, I left just the in-call screen dark because it gets too transparent and makes it hard to see who your calling LOL,,,please enjoy and if you have any problems it is better to email me archangelapps@gmail.com with your problem and error log and I will help you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Thanks man, I ended up going back to stock Oreo because of rom issues but all is well with your theme!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Yeah I was looking over the roms in the Pixel thread and its great to see them for Oreo...esp 8.1 but they are real buggy. Wish there were some for the Pixel 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Yea with Benzo Rom me and a couple others lost incoming calls
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Oh thats not good LOL. Thats kinda a basic function that needs to work. I am sure it will get ironed out,,,just good to see the development.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Wayyyy to quiet in here LOL,,,,adding Ex Kernel Manager to Translucent Substratum,,, will be added in the next update once I tighten a few things up. I just started using the Kernel and its really good plus the manager gives a lot of control.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Holy crap Mega,,,why in the world did you totally redo your app and add n1 to all your xml's???? Oh well had to redo the entire app so the new updated Mega 3.2.7 will be included in the next Translucent and Onyx updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Took me a minute but, got the latest YouTube 13.01.52 themed, will be in the next update of Onyx and Translucent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Teufel Hunden:
Where can we get the themes?

Is it compatible with the stock note 8?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bx10r:
Playstore...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Teufel Hunden:
So it'll theme the notifications pull down? I know it does the buttins but I mean the notifications that come?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Thats part of the framework and systemui so no my theme wont work for Samsung devices like that but most of the third party apps should,,,the ones that pull background from framework wont however because you can install the Android System and SystemUI overlays.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Updates to Onyx and Translucent are rolling out now,,,updated Googe Docs to 1.18.012.02,,,Google App to 17.18.50.21,,,and Google Wallpaper to 1.3.1,,,finally got this sucker transparent, please enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Forgot to add WhatsApp 2.18.9 in the last update so I updated both Onyx and Translucent today, sorry about that but enjoy,,,here's transparent. Of course that blue changes with whatever accent color you chose in Android System.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:

Hello! I have installed latest Gmail from apk mirror but I get failed when i want to update. I uninstalled and applied again but failed again. Everything is OK only Gmail won't work themed.

If this for a Substratum theme? If so email me the logchar report to archangelapps@gmail.com and I will get you taken care.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adhammagdy:
Hello.. I love the translucent substratum theme on oreo..

There's a small thing though..

When I set the theme with my accent color.. the status bar icons use the accent color.. while also top bar of themed apps has the same color and they cause the status bar to have the same color.. so the icons will be invisible..

So is it possible to give an option to make the status icon use the primary color instead?

Also when I theme the google phone app, it crashes on calls..

Also can you provide an option to give the transparent background a darker shade so the text becomes visible on bright wallpapers?

Thanks for the great theme which looks cool..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Thank you very much for supporting the app! I appreciate everyone who purchases it and I am always here to help. Now on to your problems,,,I have had some problems with the status bar of apps like Google Play Store. I have done everything that I know of to change that status bar to clear and it never does. I am still working on it because I hate that you cant see the status bar too. I do like that accent color you have chosen! I will see about adding something in the system ui icons to change the accent color for just the status bar icons. Most every other app allows me to easily change the status bar to clear or dark so it is usually not a problem but that darn Play Store has been a thorn in my side for a while.

As for the Google Phone app crashing I have heard of this happening on certain occasions even with the stock app with no theming. If you look at the reviews on the play store for this app there are a lot of people having problems even with the stock app like that. However, if it is the theme, I would need you to email me the current version of the Google Phone app that you have and we can go from there and see what is going on. Just send me an email at archangelapps@gmail.com and I will get back to you. Let me know what device you have and what version Google Phone you have and I am positive we can fix it.

As for the darker backgrounds I have had this in mind for a long time now and just need the time to go through all the apps and make them a darker shade of transparency instead of straight out glass looking. I have started to do this with some apps like Google Music and DropBox and I will continue to make the darker and still be transparent just may take some time.

I hope this clears up some of your problems and please email me about the Google Phone issue I will be there to help you out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adhammagdy:
It seems not only play store does this.. but also other apps that force the status bar to take the color of the top toolbar.. you can try forcing the status bar to be transparent..

The phone app only crashes when themed with this theme.. I'll email you the details..
