MG Substratum v3.2

Started changelog and automation

Reworked Play Store

Themed Substratum App

Removed dropbox since it definitely isn't working

Added launcher icon

WIP: Google dev console

For now I'll still be uploading to AFH, but I'll also start publishing the releases to Github. If you use Github, you can likely watch the repo and get notified on releases. (I don't test these releases, but since I test the deltas below, it should be fine)

I'm also introducing automated builds of overlays I'm testing; think of them like small deltas that only contain overlays I'm updating, along with system overlays. They can be found here.

I do plan on updating Material Glass on the play store, but I'd like to make sure everything is stable and working like before before I bother with that.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Musashi74:
Working good so far. Thanks allot for updating my favorite Theme ! I use it since the first Builds [emoji106]

D802 CrDroid 7.1.2

It is ok, but as you say the accent colors are pretty hard to read if you don't have the brightness pretty high.

Not going to be disrespectful here, but a look in Play Store will show a couple new ones by long time themers.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] bigo72:
I love you, I swear! Welcome back!!!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Just as a heads up, here is a list of the currently available overlays since CM. The ones that are checked have been verified, so there's a long way to go to bring everything up to date.

My priority will be making the system apps look as nice as they can. What's hard about transparent themes is that there can be varying opacities based on overlays, which makes it ugly. I will also work on Google Calendar and Facebook Messenger, since those were two apps I've always wanted to theme, and I see that Swift (at least in the previews) has managed to do so with substratum.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] djsubterrain:
So glad you're back with this theme, there's been tons of pretenders since you brought this out but this is the original glass theme. You really need to get the up to date Substratum app on the play store and make that cash son :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Zackptg5:
You're back! Tried out 3.2 and it works great except files doesn't compile. Attached is the error log. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Thanks for the log. As of now I have an auto builder so until I go through all the existing overlays and make sure they all work, I won't be needing logs. I know Documents-UI has been an issue, partly because I'm still new to Substratum and I probably used types incorrectly. And on top of that I still get a few dozen emails a day for Material Glass, so the existing bugs have already been reported.

I know this doesn't cater to everyone, but If there's another important bug you feel I should know now, it would be lovely to create an issue on my Github. That way it doesn't get lost in the xda posts or emails, and I can actually address it as I continue with the theme.

Much of the system overlays will be rewritten since they were CM based, so hopefully that will address some problems.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Infy_AsiX:
I've noticed Substratum finally works again on my Sony Z3C, so I could finally try out the updates.

One new bug I noticed is battery app usage in settings force closes on 3.2 and tests now.

Good to see you're back :victory:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] AquilaDroid:
It's fine here, (N5X, DU 7.1.2, Jolla 20.0).
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mrdunlop:
Excited to see the Dev is FINALLY going to work out the Substratum theme! This was my fav back in the CM theme days, wich has been long gone and sorely missed. Substratum here you come! Cant wait till he gets all the apps in like he had with the CM days
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Rom:
@	asdfasdfvful

Hello :)

I have found your amazing substratum theme on the play store and i have an AOKP based ROM that support substratum.

I have test that and i would like to edit differents settings like statubar icons, dialer transparency and titles background transparency..

Do you accept that i take your repo and edit it ? And if you accept, i could share my changes on your thread ?:angel:

Thanks in advance for your answer.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Infy_AsiX:
A bug after updating to 3.2 Systemui for me is Xposed module "Qs X Tiles per Row" can no longer edit the quick settings background. I used to have it mostly transparent. I haven't noticed any other new issues related to systemui or this module though.

edit: Sorry just tested the old 2.0 and released I didn't use SysUi then and the result is the same. Also rolling back to 2.0 still force closes on battery settings but I'm not sure why now.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] HPM8294:
Please you can share material glass Substratum-v3.1.apk, thanks, I can not download, says there are no mirrors
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mkoev:
Great theme!! Two problems I noticed : 1. Play store kept FCing so I had to remove the overlay for it, 2. Text is in black under Call History. Other than that it's really great! :))
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
A lot of progress has been made for MGS in the last few days.

I'm doing what I've wanted to do for a while and I'm rewriting most of the theme. It will be in a way so that I can easily customize it and add more color options in the future.

Currently, I've rewritten the framework and the SystemUI with the original Material Glass color, along with a new variant with Material Red and a Dark (not transparent base).

I'm not sure how I plan on packaging the app yet, and I'll likely have separate apks for each theme, but as of now it looks promising.

My priority now goes to theming the rest of the system, and addressing fc such as the play store as mentioned above.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] RLC44:
Really glad you're back on this. Thank you very much for your efforts and creativity.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Test build 101 will fix the play store crash and starts to theme whatsapp again. Whatsapp is harder for me since I don't use the app and don't have any conversations. It also comes with a dark red variant for the framework and systemui, but it's not fully finished; red is not the default text color so there are more components to look at.

As always, the test builds are like deltas that can be installed alongside the original builds. They only contain overlays that I'm working on now though.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] nadejo:
Only issues so far. The text in the whatsapp chatbar cant be seen while typing. And some general system notifications are hard to read
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Try v128

As a note, Substratum introduced some new ways of theming a few months ago that I just noticed. This will help a lot in theming hardcoded colors, but is also more unstable when apps get updated. It also seems like it isn't compatible with LineageOS, but if you are using that, feel free to send a full log (not just the substratum one) so we can figure out what the issue might be
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] nadejo:
Thanks, but this is kinda complicated. As each version only themes some of the apps, so i would have to install all test version. I'll rather wait for the next stable release.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
The delta is just an easy way for me to share my progress since the builds are automatic. The purpose was that you keep the latest stable build and only need one delta. For example you'd apply everything in the stable build except for whatsapp and the play store, and use the ones in delta instead. You don't need multiple deltas
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
This isn't about Material Glass but I'll still post here since this is theme related. Some of you may be aware that I wanted to create a third party Facebook app just over a year ago (given that it should improve battery life and because the official app is just about impossible to theme). I've finally picked up that project again now that I know more about coding, and I've been working on it for the past two weeks. I've finally gotten it to be functional (by v50), and I'd just like to share it with you all as a prerelease here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pitchedapps.frost&hl=en

This will likely be my main project for a while, since it's something I and many others will use and is not bound to an engine.

As for Material Glass, I'm aware that whatsapp has updated which broke the theme. During the weekend, I will try to

1. Address that overlay

2. Setup automatic builds for the entire theme so you aren't limited to deltas.

Stay tuned!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
I have tested [v149](https://github.com/PitchedApps/Material-Glass-Test-Builds/releases/tag/v149) of my builds and it seems to be working. Since deltas may not work for everyone, I've decided to generate full builds as well. What you'll likely want to download is "MGS-Clear_full-v149.apk", which contains all the old overlays (that need to be fixed) as well as whatever I'm working on.

This build addresses whatsapp and removes some things in gmail (which will be fixed next time)

Since the way I am theming has changed, you'll need to be on the latest stable nonbeta whatsapp.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] SSVsSunSt:
Good day! I've updated my phone to Android 7.1.2 yesterday and installed substratum with MG clear-full v149. Today I found several glitches and decided to reinstall the theme. Now the phone is bootlooped and I have to find a "non-clean-install" fix method, because I have no pc at the moment, only ipad 2 and my phone and I cannot download anything at all. (nevertheless, I still have TWRP and ipad camera xD)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Zackptg5:
Flash substratum rescue zip. It should be on substratum folder on your sdcard. Also wipe cache and dalvik
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
There should be a recovery zip that you can flash. I don't remember the exact directory but you can check in the substratum community. As of now, I have had one bootloop where I need to reflash my rom on my One plus 3. I therefore recommend that users have an oms rom to hopefully avoid that issue
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] SSVsSunSt:
Thanks!

There's no LO OMS ROM for my device at the moment, so there's no way i could have one xD

BTW, since i installed Android 5 for the first time i never ever used it without your theme, so i'm kinda fan of yours.

UPD: Yep, it worked.

And i'll try not to mess with root applications while sitting in the airport again.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Death Mask Salesman:
Good day, [MENTION=5230774]asdfasdfvful[/MENTION]. Do you support using your theme with Substratum in Legacy mode, perchance?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
I've used it on my One plus which uses legacy, so it should work. I'm just not responsible for any bootloops and it has happened to me once (though I have to reinstall much more for testing) so just take caution. The issue usually comes with updating the framework overlay but since that isn't updated often you probably don't need to add it
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Death Mask Salesman:
Bootloops can easily be worked around, but I must report that compiling the overlay for com.android.documentsui fails. I'm on LineageOS 14.1 Nightly (20170630), Substratum version 803. See the attached PNG for the error message.

Edit: the latest automated build from GitHub doesn't share this issue, whilst the latest version from AFH (3.2, which I had installed) does. Please ignore this message.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Death Mask Salesman:
Soft reboot

[MENTION=5230774]asdfasdfvful[/MENTION]

Holding the Power button to summon the shutdown dialog triggers a soft reboot.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (I9195)

OS: LineageOS 14.1-20160630-NIGHTLY-serranoltexx (Android 7.1.2)

Material Glass: MGlass Clear (automatic build v150)

Substratum: v803, Legacy mode

The logcat is attached below, stored as a TAR archive due to upload constraints.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Does lineage still have a cm theme embedded? If they are still cm based they might have quite a few differences compared to the Substratum base
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Death Mask Salesman:
Something such as HexoLibre, you say? I just mounted the original /system partition, and there aren't any traces of CMTE themes or even the CMTE engine itself. Moreover, it seems that other themes are suffering from the very soft reboot issue mentioned above, and the environment is LineageOS 14.1. Do you think that Substratum may be the culprit?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Send me your systemui and framework ap (or if the rom is open sourced give me a link) and I'll see
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Death Mask Salesman:
Here you are, because digging LOS' source isn't what I call "relaxing".
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] madagascaradam:
Hi, I've had a Moto G2 (2013) for a few years and I've used CM12 and CM13 on it and most of that time I've used your Material Glass theme and I've loved it. I just got a new phone, a Moto G3 Turbo (2015) and I'm looking to install a custom rom, custom theme, etc. It looks like some of my best options are LineageOS 14.1, Resurrection Remix, and AOSP Extended. I would REALLY like to put your Material Glass (dark) back on there.

Does this thread mean you now have it available for the Substratum themer? Is it fully functional just like your older version for CM 12/13 was? If so, would you recommend any of those OS's as the best one to have your theme look and work the best?

Thanks for any help you can give on your suggestion for the best ROM I should use and how to get your material glass working again (if possible)!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] madagascaradam:
How to install with AOSP Extended?

[MENTION=5230774]asdfasdfvful[/MENTION]

Taking others' advice, I've installed AOSP Extended on my Moto G 2015 Turbo. (I chose the "pixel launcher" - should I have chosen to use the "Google Now" launcher instead? Is that better?) I also installed substratum and have been trying to install your theme from there. I've downloaded MGS-Clear_ful-v150 and I also downloaded Material Glass Substratum v3.2. I've tried both of them (choosing to add all overlays) and each time I get some sort of error, but I also get some success. Many menus turn black, a couple turn transparent (like the settings), but overall it's a mixed bag and it certainly doesn't look like the Material Glass I used to use on CM13.1 .

Am I doing something wrong? I'm new to Substratum and don't understand all its options, such as, should I choose "build and update" or "build and enable"?

Anyway, the truth is, your Material Glass has been my exclusive theme for years, hands down the best. I would LOVE to have it on my newer phone, with its increased speed, etc. Please let me know what I need to do to get your Material Glass back up and working again. I've even done some searching around for newer themes, but none of them even seem to come close to yours.

By the way, while searching this thread to find more info on exactly what I need to do (out of luck in that area unfortunately), I found your Frost facebook app and I've been trying that out today. I really like it, a big visual improvement over the standard blue & white facebook app (which gets very ugly). So thanks for your work on that! Hopefully you can also help me figure out what I need to do to make the most of your material glass theme on my new phone. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Glad you like Frost. In regards to Substratum, the setup is supposed to be straightforward. Depending on your rom (I'm not familiar with AOSP extended) you might need to restart after applying the theme. As of now you should solely use the github apk, though I'm trying to get it back up on the play store so I can easily share it.

Black menus are typically related to the system, and since the system doesn't change much for any given android version, there might have been an error with applying the theme rather than in the theme itself. Try applying again (just the github apk), make sure you don't have other overlays, and reboot. If your menu is specific to certain apps, feel free to let me know/send screenshots, as that could be a bug on my end.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
Hey all,

I know this has been long awaited, but I've finally decided to bring my app back to the play store. I've been putting this off for so long since I wasn't sure how often I'd be updating this, and I was sure that I would get a lot of backlash from those who are still on cm. However, given that the build on the play store is probably so broken that most people aren't using it, I feel like now would be a good time to bring it back and add substratum.

Most of you are likely in the beta program, and I will be releasing an initial release there. It is nothing different from the github releases other than that it is on the play store and you'll be getting updates.

I can't make any promises for the future, but for the next few days at least, I'll be spending some time on making this project usable again. I'd like to thank you all for your patience since I've given teasers for a long time now, but I'm finally ready to push it forwards.

And lastly, how many of you are on reddit? I like xda for what it's worth, but I'm feeling like it's a lot easier to communicate there.

Welcome back
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] madagascaradam:
This is great news! Sorry I haven't responded to the above yet. I've been meaning to search my system more and make as many tweaks as I can (because it seems like a few tweaks help reinstate material glass usage) and then get some time to take good screenshots of the parts that don't seem to work. Sorry I haven't done that yet! But I'll be installing your play store version and looking forward to updates, and I'll try to get screenshots when I can!

---------- Post added at 03:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 AM ----------

OK, so I installed the one from the Play Store, and when I press the "fab", it says to download it, which just takes me to the page with the 3.2 apk (I installed previously but functionality wasn't great and you said install the github one). So does that mean there's not a newer substratum version on play store yet?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
I'm assuming you're not in beta. It's going to take a few more minutes for the update to propagate to production, but you can join beta here.

I see some bugs with my one plus 3, but if you're running on any rom with the substratum commits it should be more or less functional. Be prepared that there may be lots of updates within this week as I get this project up and running again.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] madagascaradam:
OK, I just joined the beta group, so hopefully I'll get the testing version soon. I'm running AOSP Extended on a Moto G3 TE (Turbo Edition). That's listed as having "substratum theme engine" built-in (or something like that), but I found I had to go to the Play Store to download substratum first before I could try your theme on it. It's a new phone for me, so I'm still learning its various features and I haven't finished changing all the settings just the way I want yet.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] bigo72:
Just joined the beta group. Well, I'm a bit disappointed. Very slow development, sorry to say that. Still superbuggy.

I'm going back to my Translucent Substratum Theme, the most constantly updated one. It themes even statusbar icons and text color! Nobody else does it!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Death Mask Salesman:
[MENTION=5230774]asdfasdfvful[/MENTION]

Would a Telegram group work as Reddit alternative?

Plus, can you confirm that the GitHub automated builds are up-to-date in regards to the beta ones on the Play Store, for those who don't have it installed?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
I have a job and many other projects, so theming hasn't been my priority. The main reason I go back to it is because so many others use it.

I actually do theme the status bar icons with the mg icons variant. I've had test builds where I've themed all text colors red but I feel like it's better to focus on one colour. Plus adding multiple text colors increases build time and app sizes
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
I do use slack but not so much telegram. The github builds are more up to date than the play store builds since they happen on every commit. I'm not sure how I want to label the stable ones yet, but maybe I'll tag the ones I actually test
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] madagascaradam:
[MENTION=5230774]asdfasdfvful[/MENTION] so I've been using your material glass substratum apps for a few weeks, but I doesn't theme the icons at all. Your built in icon pack for the theme (I was using it on cm13.1) was the best set of icons for the theme in my opinion. So where can I get your icon pack now? The Google play link is no longer working, but I'd love to get your pitched glass icon pack. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
No need to triple post. And if you're referring to the separate icon pack, not the one in material glass itself, I've removed it from the play store
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] madagascaradam:
Sorry about that! Don't know how the extra posts happened... I was on my phone on a spotty connection so maybe it loaded twice. On the other post you said:

Which play store description are you talking about? Here you said, the separate icon pack has been removed from the play store. In the past I never used the separate icon pack because the material glass one already had great icons (presumably more or less the same ones as pitched clear). However, your new substratum theme build doesn't seem to theme the icons at all. I've been looking for icon packs that work well with it and there are some OK ones, but none as good as you had on the old material glass build (presumably the pitched clear icons). So how can I get those back? I'd love to use those again. Surely the icons are more or less the same (even if no new ones) since back then, right?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
The play store description for Material Glass. It links to here where you can download the old build for CM which had the icons. Pitched Glass was a separate icon pack of mine, but I have since removed that project so users won't be able to download it.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] madagascaradam:
How can I get the icon pack out of that? Can I load it in Substratum and choose to apply only the icons? Or, is there any reason you don't include that icon pack in your newer substratum versions of Material Glass?

By the way, I've been using your new version (I'm a Beta tester), and most the apps don't seem to have transparency. For example, no transparency in messages, Gmail is black but no transparency, no transparency in whatsapp or really in most of the apps. Calculator has a small amount of transparency, and basically all the settings menus have transparency, but not hardly any apps. Which apps *should* have transparency?

Oh, and do you have a forum for posting about Frost? It mostly works well, but sometimes when initially loading, or when loading a comments page or something like that, the background sometimes switches to gray instead of clear.
