I have installed & uninstalled almost all the themepacks in the showcase in few devices. With the recent jump from legacy I have been facing few issues in 1 device running > RROS 5.8.3 on x526 (7.1.2).

Non stop *-detectedOutdated Overlay!* notification error fix went hazardous.

The process I go thru and *dead rescue me crash* I did is as stated as below:-

*, I have been disabling overlays + clean install + enable updated theme. Again I go to "Overlay List" check on to pick on newly re-compiled&installed & create my custom mix. Arrange priorities saved (after verifying UIs ), try saving profile and restart .

#issues

1. Crashing while Profile Save :/* it never did before. Started after already updated yet annoying notice started.

2. Empty Overlay list : it showed once/twice but back on full list after UI restart sometimes

Then a mistake, I uninstalled a theme which was already on (active) From store.

Usually sub crashes, but I had no issues earlier when I clear cache+ reset config +disable the theme and put another one.

However this time even after reinstalling theme .

3., it failed to revert.

4. It crashes to reset priorities

5. .XML (sub) stays back on even if I try to edit back on working overlay from the install list.

6. So many app crashes and fail to boot

7. Auto disabling of app overlay after multi crash never happened.

So do I proceed on flashing rescue.zip? What went wrong?

Already re-installed sub too.

I have 18 theme pack mixed themes. I'm silly it was my mistake but Could you explain thoroughly?please. Phone app died Too. I did a walkthru to make my apps load though.

Disable/Uninstall the overlay for Gmail via substratum.
[prjkt.io] magarto:
Hi, substratum works well for me but I cannot install two overlays for system.

My device is a Galaxy S8, stock latest rom AQH3, android 7.0, substratum version 823 and Addon for Samsung installed. The theme I use is Swift Black, latest version 10.4

I cannot install Theme Store app and Android system app. Always shows error "conflict" "application not installed".

I tried to give all permissions to both apps, umount SD, deleting the app (which shows a SD icon like if it was installed on the SD card) but nothing works.

Attached you can find logcat but the device is not rooted.

Much thanks! .Yes, logchar wasn't posted ↑, sorry for that. I scrolled the whole thread on a run, and was hoping for identical "crash site". I flashed rescueMe.zip*, re-flashed & it worked for few hours and was crashing again². Wanted to know "why", coz it was my only mysterious crash over other known 100 crashes.

Well it wasn't the my subs fault anyway. One of the culprit optimizers that i enabled muted the theme interfacer silently, and killed the whole projekt. My bad.

Hey guys. I'm not sure if this is a Substratum related or theme related issue. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) with AICP Nougat 7.1.2 rom (full OMS rootless support) and S.i.X Theme. I'm unable to apply theme to SystemUI (com.android.systemui) but all other elements are themed without issue. LogChar attached.

Substratum issue - dark screen

Hello guys. I am using an Galaxy S4, I9506 version with LineageOS 7.1.2 Rooted. Substratum version is "eight hundred twenty three". I am using theme PitchBlack Origins. When I apply the theme, all the layers install without errors but I'm having this issue. When I am in settings menu, if I try to enter in any submenu (see pic), for example, notifications, the screen goes total dark exept the status bar (the one in the upper part with the screen). If I turn off the screen and on again with the side button, the menu I just entered shows. If I press back, its the same issue again, dark screen. Can you help me figure out how to fix this? I really want to aplly this theme, thank you! https://ibb.co/ccHHPF
[prjkt.io] Oswald Boelcke:
I realised there're quite a few different LOS ROMs around for the i9506. Here, I don't find any LOS ROM that supprts Substratum.
[prjkt.io] madamarcelin:
So, LineageOS does not support substratum? I found out that the glich with dark screen only happens with Android System overlay, the others work without issues. The author of the theme didn't respond to my mail :(

I'm new to Substratum and trying to use it to rename some apps that I don't like their names (for whatever reason). Of course I mean to rename them locally on the fly and not by editing apks. So far, I was able to override strings.xml for the app and put the new one in assets via my substratum theme app and this works. However, this requires that I extract strings.xml from res/values of the source apk which I don't want to do. Not just that I don't want to extract anything, but also I believe this could break future updates of the app when the strings.xml gets changed.

Is there a possibility to override just one entry of strings.xml? or to do this using other method?
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
I think that you're on your own if you want to rename apps "for whatever reason". ?

From Down the Rabbit Hole by:

My SM-G930W8 ??
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
Not sure why you want to do this, but adding a strings.xml file with just the app_name string to the assets/app.package.name/res/values folder should work.

strings.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">XDA Labs</string>
</resources>
[prjkt.io] ahmed_ais:
Really helpful :D (kindly read below)

I will try this, thanks for your help.

Edit: it works, thanks again.

Regarding the why (and the whatever reason), simply some apps have long names that get trimmed showing dots on launcher (or silly names with all respect to the devs). I'm one of those perfectionists who like things to be beautiful to my eyes and would prefer to theme anything that is not visually pleasing to be acceptable. With that said, I have the ethics to respect developers work and do not want or think of altering/reverse-engineer any app for whatever reason. Just want to please my eyes and I believe this is one of the main reasons theme engines exist. Yes there are limits, of course, but I don't think the app developers would be mad that I don't like how they choose to name their app!

TL;DR, I assume app names are part of the customization process and they should look as I want (many launchers provide ways to rename the apps in drawers, that's the same idea).

2. hit the Home button

Some overlays don't work. I'm on lineage os and I just noticed that some system overlays don't work. Just applied the swift black theme and noticed that overlays like QS overlays don't work. But the problem isn't general because my settings overlay themed perfectly. I later tried theming my status bar with the #statusbars beta substratum theme and my status bar just remains untouched. And these two substratum themes were ones I was using frequently when I was on the ressurection rom. Now I'm confused. Can anyone help please?

LOS is not fully supported since it does not have OMS commits. That is why you have problems with some overlays. Below are some links and quotes to help make it clear,

If not then Substratum is not fully support and you may have issues as you have seen. Try not theming Android System and see if that works.

Make sure you have the rescue zips just in case.

I followed the guide and installed Substratum and then Andromeda and ran the desktop client and it said that it was connected and could be themed.

Using Andromeda on a Pixel XL. Working fine, but after a reboot I get a notification that says "Substratum and Andromeda are NOT connected." If I dismiss the notification, it just comes back in a little bit.

Can I make this notification stop? I'm only going to connect it when I want to make changes, which is very rarely. I guess I could just disable all notifications from Substratum but that's not ideal.

Looked in notification settings within the app and the one related to Andromeda is already turned off, so that's not it.

No it's a theme I made with Theme DIY, I'm on viper os.

You can try it but, if the app has been updated, the theme may not have been.

Whatsapp is notorious for changing it's resources and layouts on every update - lots of themers have given up theming it.
