Hi. I have used substratum alot, since the beginning of lineage. I stopped for some months. Today i tried it on my lineage 14.1 with flux white theme. When i tried to uninstall some theme parts i got stuck on bootanimation (after reboot). Only valid solution was to format the phone.

Substratum interface is a bit different since last time, so maybe I did something wrong. Can you tell me, step by step, the right procedure to uninstall modifications? I need to unistall because theme's developer said that on every theme update, i need to uninstall, update and re-apply the theme. But if everytime I have to risk like this time...
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
You should be able to go to Substratum Manager Tab to Uninstall all Overlays - Is that what you did?
[prjkt.io] iiTrust:
That happen after the last update :|

Just noticed that it doesnt asked me to reboot, and i dont have the module that i should have, can someone link it?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
No just uninstall substratum reboot and install again.
[prjkt.io] iiTrust:
Nothing changed...
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
It installed the module? And you are on v18 magisk?
[prjkt.io] iiTrust:
Yes im on magisk v18, lastest update of substratum and no, it didnt installed the module, neither it asked me to reboot
[prjkt.io] asusgarb:
Yes. When the "uninstall overlays" appeared I selected it. After uninstallation it asked me to reboot device. And it was after that reboot that I was stuck at boot animation. I even tried wipe dalvik and cache, without results. So I had to hard reset the device.

I've seen another similar post after mine, so I think I'll wait to apply the theme again.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Next time you have issue like that don't reset, use recovery zip to remove overlays and fix system loop. If rooted...if not you can use adb to recover as well without reset. Just fyi for future
[prjkt.io] ynuance:
on pixel experience android pie, can not install overlays except "android system".

for example:

» [com.google.android.apps.authenticator2]: Overlay APK creation has failed!

» [com.google.android.apps.authenticator2]: Installation of "com.google.android.apps.authenticator2" has failed.
[prjkt.io] jcmm11:
Just for my own information (not having any problems, working just fine) if I do ever run into any problems would it suffice to just remove the contents of substratum/system/app/ from the Magisk image via TWRP? (yes I know I'd have to mount the image) or would that cause problems later because enable/disable settings weren't modified?
[prjkt.io] mikeymike225:
substratum keeps saying the theme showcase requires an internet connection to function....i have no clue how to fix
[prjkt.io] papuruth:
Overlay vanishes randomly in every app for time being setting screenshots attached. After killing the app 2-3 times the overlay returns but again same problem. I'm using substratum signature apk to avoid rebooting phone.

Device: Yureka Black

ROM: Liquid Remix Pie

Subs. Version: one thousand fifteen
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Would be much easier to just flash rescue zip in substratum folder on your storage. Is added once you install substratum. Also can long press substratum icon and hit "rescue me" too :)

Fixed in the new update

You would need to use substratum like it supposed to be used to give bugs. No idea if that signature apk breaking things.
[prjkt.io] jcmm11:
So I looked inside SubstratumRescue.zip and found a small problem.

ui_print "- Mounting /system"
mount /system
mount -o rw,remount /system
mount -o rw,remount /system /system

ui_print "- Removing overlay saved states"
rm -rf /data/system/overlays.xml

ui_print "- Removing Substratum directories"
rm -rf /sdcard/.substratum

ui_print "- Removing theme directory"
rm -rf /data/system/theme

ui_print "- Unmounting /system"
umount /system

Note that the system mounts are completely unnecessary. Not only that they potentially break OTAs since simply mounting system rw can do that.

(Also note the code has a space in /system /system that shouldn't be there, even if it was needed)
[prjkt.io] papuruth:
If I'm not using the signature app and trying to compile overlay the system ui / device soft reboots.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Been working perfectly fine on my stock device, rooted Pixel XL. Never issues with ota since flashing with fast boot.

Then you have other issues that need to be fixed, get a log of the crashing and send here. Without using the signing app. We can't give you support if you are using that.

I am using Moto g5 plus and have pixel experience 9.0 ROM installed..."Built and enable" option is not showing. What to do...?....I tried both stable and beta version of substratum from playstore....both doesn't show "built and enable"....

[prjkt.io] Badger50:
What happens if you "build and update" your overlays then reboot. Can you enable your overlays?
[prjkt.io] sdhadange:
everything goes fine after clicking build and update with no errors....reboot......still can't able to enable the overlay....shows the msg "please compile the overlay before applying"
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
Have you tried other themes as well?
[prjkt.io] sdhadange:
Yes....and same problem...
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
Is this a new problem with your rom, or did you have it as well on stock OS. Might be a compatibility issue if you made any changes. Also, are you on magisk 18.0? Substratum now only works with magisk 18.0.
[prjkt.io] sdhadange:
I didn't try substratum on stock....I use magisk 18....pixel Rom might be the problem....?
[prjkt.io] asusgarb:
Thank you. I was going to ask about recovery zip. I suspected its function was this, but I was going to ask. But you anticipated me.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You are using pie and that is a pie like theme for oreo bro. Not the issue you are having but it's good it didn't work as you would have boot loops if it did. You should read app descriptions before you download. See screenshot.

Ok to fix the issue

Did you get popup to reboot when you opened substratum? It installed a magisk module and needs a reboot to work. If not or even if you did. Uninstall the module from magisk then reboot. Open substratum and it should popup saying reboot. That means it installed the module. Once you reboot again subs should work like normal.
[prjkt.io] sdhadange:
As you said..... first i uninstalled the substratum module from magisk...then reboot....open substratum.....saw a popup "installed substratum module successfully now reboot your device".....again reboot....still no "build and enable"....reboot again....same problem....no option of "build and enable"?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Lmao oh man my bad I misread that, sorry bro that was removed by the devs, build update is the same thing since you have to reboot to enable no need for that old one. Just build update, reboot then enable.
[prjkt.io] kos25k:
hello.i wonder how i can just change notifications from white to black,on swift black theme.when i do so,many other things change but i dont want so.My rom has already black theme but white notifications.I have AICP Oreo rom.Thanks in advance.

You can email them in the Swift Black theme from your phone, they are quick to reply! :good:
[prjkt.io] kamorra:
I'm having a problem with themes "disappearing" since the move to magisk. Everything was working before. Now several app just revert to their original state while the substratum manager shows the layer as applied.

I'm on Pie with Swift Dark theme.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Hmmm haven't seen this....yet... Try uninstalling the substratum module and the app substratum...reboot and install it again. It will install the module, you'll need to reboot again then try the theme.
[prjkt.io] kamorra:
Ok, will try and report back.

Edit

Still the same. My steps:

I use build & update first.

Reboot

I use the manager to enable everything

I reboot again for good measure

I open an app like Google Music.

Splashscreen is dark, the actual app not.

It worked perfectly before it used Magisk.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I'm not sure it's an issue with substratum then, only time I've seen these issues is when magisk updated. I had to use unroot zip. Then root again to fix it. I know this new module stuff has been a pain but it's been working for me.
[prjkt.io] kamorra:
Hmm... I see. Maybe I try to reinstall Magisk then. Thanks and happy holidays!
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Same to you my friend, good luck!
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
Are you on magisk 18.0?
[prjkt.io] kamorra:
Yeah.
[prjkt.io] EddoWagt:
I'm having issues installing any overlays on my S7e (hero2lte) running LOS 16.0 unofficial, with magisk 17.1

Substratum doesn't crash or anything, but there's no option for "build & enable", only "build & update". Pressing that will do stuff, but ultimately nothing changes. Got no log, but how could I fix it?
[prjkt.io] Wolfcity:
If you check the substratum release notes in playstore you will find out that magisk 18 is the only supported version now.

Maybe your problem is related to this.
[prjkt.io] EddoWagt:
Ah okay, substratum didn't give me any warning, but will check that out tomorrow. Thanks!
[prjkt.io] EddoWagt:
Tried it with 18.0 and reinstalled substratum, but the issue is still there... No way to build the overlays
[prjkt.io] jcmm11:
"Build and Update", reboot, Overlay Manager-> enable overlays, reboot
[prjkt.io] EddoWagt:
That worked, thanks!

Navbar Issues

Hello, new user here, I wanted to ask about navbar customization. Right now I have the yoru theme for subtratum with andromeda. I am also using the navigate theme for the back and recents buttons. Both themes work fine, except that for some apps, the navbar changes completely over to the yoru's navbar instead of using navigate's back and recents (i.e. when using the keyboard, in google apps, settings, etc). Any help fixing it so that the back and recents button stay using the proper theme would be appreciated.

My phone is not rooted, and I would like to avoid it if possible. I'm on a Samsung S9 running Android 8.0 Oreo.
[prjkt.io] Wolfcity:
That's a question for the theme developer/s, substratum has nothing to do with it. Probably the themes interfere with each other so that you have to use another one or both themes customize the navbar and you have to deactivate that part in your main theme.
[prjkt.io] khalisz:
substratum doesn't works anymore on rooted Pie. :/
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Works fine, check root and you'll need magisk v18+ and make sure module installed for subs and reboot after it installs.
[prjkt.io] khalisz:
My phone is already rooted with Magisk V18.

But I dont have the module installed, so that why.

I try test that, thanks & happy new year everyone :)

Edit : The module isn't compatible with Magisk V18.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Substratum itself will install it, uninstall substratum, reboot, reinstall...open substratum, Then you'll see a popup saying to reboot from module installation.
[prjkt.io] khalisz:
Alright, I'll do that and let you know, thanks.
[prjkt.io] dDranzer:
After I reset my phone substratum was not showing any themes and I also granted the root access

On OnePlus 5t from XDA labs
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Reset your phone? If you did a factory reset yes all themes would be gone.
[prjkt.io] GHOST1010:
Overlays not compiling

Overlays not give any error while compilation, but after reboot there are only a few overlay in the menu.

When seeing the .APK they are 0 bytes.

-Rom=Bootleggers4.0(pie), magiskV18.0

- subs. V-1015

- Google Pixel
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You have root issues, try uninstalling the substratum module and substratum, reboot then reinstall substratum. Open substratum and it should popup saying module installed, reboot again after that then overlays should be moved out of system/app to correct place.
[prjkt.io] GHOST1010:
Still the same problem even after reinstall , a bunch of overlays compile then it dose not compile any more ,it just finishes the compilation very fast and dose not give any errors . What do you mean my the correct place
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
The overlays no longer stay on system/app that module modes them off system to a module partition.

I think it's not moving them. You rebooted after you seen the popup saying module installed?
[prjkt.io] GHOST1010:
I didn't get any pop up , but the module shows activated in magisk, when are you supposed to get a popup?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
When you open substratum, reboot enables it fully.
[prjkt.io] GHOST1010:
I rebooted multiple times , will disable and enable the module work , where is the module directory?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I'm not sure where, I'm not rooted atm. Try uninstalling the module and substratum. Reboot and try it again. I had a pixel XL for a while and had to do that to fix this issue.
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
They're in:

/sbin/.magisk/img/substratum/system/app
[prjkt.io] AndyYan:
Does v1011+ *need* Magisk to work? I've updated to v1015 and overlays don't show up even after a reboot (as they would in v1010). I have a certain device that can't use Magisk (using LOS built-in SU now) so I hope the answer is no.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Try uninstalling any modules you have other then substratum to check if it's a conflicting module.

Yes magisk 18+ required but I used magisk on Lineage without issue.
[prjkt.io] GHOST1010:
Nope just vanced YouTube.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Hmmm so no other modules then substratum? Vanced isn't one is it? Thought it was apk. If you are using the module try uninstalling it and see. Anyway I'm lost with your issue. Only thing I can suggest is unroot and root again to see if it's a magisk issue but that's asking a lot.

Can you get a log of the build process and upload here for the devs to see?
[prjkt.io] AndyYan:
The problem here is that this device technically has a locked BL and will verify signature of boot.img, anything that patches boot.img will be affected. I've heard that Magisk would still work but would soft-brick the device on OTA so I didn't immediately try.

I do use Magisk on my other 16.0 devices since there's no other choice until built-in SU rolled out just recently.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Oh ok I see. Then I would go back to old substratum using their telegram ci builds or apk mirror.

ZenFone 5 on pie

My device is Zenfone 5 (2018) , ze620kl, run Android pie with magisk v18.0 and disabled all modules.

After joining the beta program then downloading the app from the Play Store, substratum version is 1015, I got "COULD NOT FALL BACK TO ROOTED MODE

THERE ARE NO OTHER THEME ENGINES ABLE TO BE UTILIZED ON THIS DEVICE AT THIS CURRENT TIME..."

How can I fix it?

Thanks a lot!
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You keep substratum module enabled?
[prjkt.io] TheGassmann:
I had the same issue, all I did to fix it was stop battery optimisation blocking the Magisk app (do this by going to settings >apps>magisk>battery optimisation)
[prjkt.io] z1357914:
I have done this but the problem is still the same.:crying::crying::crying: Any ideas ?

---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 AM ----------

My substratum is downloaded from Google play store... So there's no substratum module...:(:(:(
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
It should automatically install the magisk module after you grant root to substratum. Might have to uninstall/install substratum.
[prjkt.io] z1357914:
I have tried uninstall/install substratum many times... But nothing changes.:crying::crying::crying:
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
And your on magisk 18+ I assume? What device?
[prjkt.io] Artnig:
Having some trouble applying Swift Black to Play Store and GMail.

Running latest substratum on OP6T Pie rooted with magisk, all other themes apply just fine except these two. Any suggestions? System language is set to English so I'm all out of ideas.

Actually, system language was English + a second language. Removed the second one and Play Store is working now, but still can't theme GMail. Any help would be appreciated!
[prjkt.io] Wolfcity:
I'm on magisk 18 stable, running stock 8.1 on my Moto G5+. No substratum module after substratum un/reinstall but everything is working without any problems (Swift Black, subtweaks). On my Moto G2 running AEX Pie custom ROM the module is installed.

Try experimental mode for Gmail. I had the same problem on my previous ROM with Gmail,Maps and Contacts.
[prjkt.io] Artnig:
Thanks I'll try that. Oddly enough an email just came in and upon opening the notification my Gmail was themed suddenly :confused:

If it doesn't stick on boot I'll try your suggestion. Thx
[prjkt.io] z1357914:
Masgisk run on ze551kl, pie.

I just open substratum then show the root granted and the module appears:)

But I just install a theme ,Pixel Theme from Google play store, applied but nothing changes@@
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Pixel theme for oreo I do believe
[prjkt.io] shu2797:
Hi.. I'm facing issues with whatsapp only.. I tried installing and applying 2 different themes (meaning i installed, rebooted, applied and rebooted again).. The only difference is that the splash screen has changed, but the app theme does not.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
If anything changed substratum is working, you'll need to contact theme devs to see why.
[prjkt.io] shu2797:
Contacted them and looked online.. Their theme is already up to date.. It works perfectly for other apps. Only for whatsapp, the splash screen has changed, but not the app theme
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Not sure then but if subs is working for any apps it's not a substratum issue.
[prjkt.io] shu2797:
Well, I thought that too.. But when I tested with another theme, the same thing happened
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
That doesn't mean it's a subs issue bro, send me any logs you get from building overlays. I assure you if one overlay works it's not subs issue but theme issues. They both might need to update.
[prjkt.io] shu2797:
Ah alright.. Thanks man
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
No problem, but you can send me a log of it building WhatsApp just in case you have something not obvious causing it. Even if it builds correctly still might be back end or power saver issue.
[prjkt.io] shu2797:
I just updated whatsapp today and the theme hasn't been updated yet.. If I face this issue again after update, I'll make sure to send you the log.. Thanks
[prjkt.io] baumstein:
I'm on a rooted oneplus 5 android pie using substratum with swift black only and sometimes when i open an app it isn't themed until i close and reopen it. Is this an common issue and is there a fix?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Does it only happen when you first theme it or when you had it themed already?
[prjkt.io] baumstein:
Well, i build the themes, restart the phone and activate them and then everything is succesfully themed but then sometimes when i open an app it isn't themed anymore until i swipe it out on recent apps. Then it's fixed for some time until it happens again and i have to close and open the app again
[prjkt.io] osuki9x:
I am using substratum one my S9 pie. I found that some apps will crash if apply change icon overlay. For example Twitter or Discord app. I believe it only happen on Pie. Anyone know why?Is it because the app, Substratum or the OS?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
That would be theme issues. Contact theme dev.

Make sure theme supports Samsung pie

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

White list substratum in any power saver could be the reason. I've never seen them just stop unless the app updates.
[prjkt.io] osuki9x:
I am the one that make the overlay. It's just a simple change app icon overlay. I have test that copy the same icon in the same drawable folder but it just crash. Or anything that I am missing. The overlay just work fine on Oreo
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
No idea bro, check the app resources and see. Icons shouldn't have a problem but it's not going to be a substratum issue. Launcher icons aren't fully supported, icon packs would be better.
[prjkt.io] Fablos:
I can't install more than a specific amount of overlays no matter what I do.

I made Updates, removed all overlays installed and reapplied. But now I can't reinstall all. Just a Fraction of them.

Nokia 8, Android 9, substratum 1015 and latest Theme (PitchBlack)

Any Ideas?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Try going one by one and build them instead of all at once. Updating the theme you don't have to uninstall overlays just update them then enable back then you can do all in one since just updating them.
[prjkt.io] Fablos:
As expected: Didn't Work either, same amount gets installed, anything above just "vanishes".

Also, using my backed up versions of Substratum and Theme gets the same error.

But neither is there any Log or error message on Compiling.

Substratum rescue zip did nothing either.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Do you have any huge modules installed like YouTube vanced? Might be an issue with space maybe?
[prjkt.io] Fablos:
Yes, i use Vanced.

But all Overlays worked before with it too.

I made no Changes to Modules lately.

The Space issue was my First guess too.

But 400MB on /system and over 40GB on /data shouldn't be insufficient.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Not system partition but the module partition should grow but they found an issue with vanced being too big. Try uninstalling it and then try the overlays to check. Then reinstall vanced once you know theme is good.
[prjkt.io] Fablos:
Yep. Worked that way.

And Updating Overlays without removing them also works for future updates.

Thx
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Awesome, glad to help!

Hello guys!

I finally got over myself and rooted my OnePlus 6.

I just installed Substratum and the themes Swift Black and AOSPUI.

But now I have the problem that they don't show up in Substratum.

Is this a known issue? I could not find anything on Google.

What should I do?

Would a log be helpful?

Thanks for you help!

Android 9

OxygenOS 9.0.3 (newest)

Substratum 1015 (see attachment)
[prjkt.io] KpChuck:
Did you reboot and then enable them from substratum manager?
[prjkt.io] JokerTheJoke:
No, because I can't even see the themes I have installed.

In both, the themes as well as in the manager tabs, I can't see any themes. It just shows the loading circle indefinitely.

Added a screenshot for clarification. It looks like this in the themes and the manager tab.

The priorities tab has a different loading animation. Because there are supposedly no themes installed I guess.

Oh, by the way: when I said installed I mean installed from the Play Store, not from within Substratum.

And yes, I tried to reboot and the reset settings option from within Substratum but it didn't help.
[prjkt.io] KpChuck:
Oh right, I thought you'd installed overlays and those weren't showing up.

Maybe try clearing substratum app data. Or uninstall substratum and install substratum ci from http://t.me/substratumci
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Do you have any modules installed in magisk?
[prjkt.io] JokerTheJoke:
No, i do not. I didn't do anything with magisk aside from enabling it's dark theme

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

Is there another way of clearing substratum's data than the reset option in the settings? Bacause that's what opens when I click clear data in Android's settings.
[prjkt.io] JokerTheJoke:
I just tried substratum ci and it behaved exactly the same.

I let it load for about a minute and then the message you can see in the attachments appeared. This also happens in the live 1015 version.

Interestingly, the themes show up the moment this message appears but it locks the whole app.

So, I guess substratum is trying to tell me that it can't get root access?

I never got asked by it.
