Please help.

I am sure the answer to this is posted somewhere in the 429 pages of Q and A but i am having a bit of trouble finding it. so if someone could assist I would appreciate it.

Substratum / Andromeda LG V30+ Sprint Variant running 8.0

Short Version: I cant see anything at all on my screen after applying a theme through substratum. This was the second one i loaded, and it seemed fine until the UI crashed and then I lost all visible screen images. Phone is on and responsive to key presses, but I have no image on my screen or possibly just all black. When I hold down the power button I get the typical options. I have tried restarting, restarting in safe mode, plugging in the phone and launching andromeda client in hopes it would launch the app and id be able to see it. None of these have helped.

Anyone have any advice? Or an adb commnd that will wipe the theme i tried to use so I can see my screen again?

Edit* I did use substratum to make .backup before making any changes. Not sure if there is a way to push that backup to load through adb. Also was thinking maybe i could push an adb command to uninstall substratum, or the theme i was trying to use, etc. I dont want to do any of that until someone can tel me that it will work just in case i end up fully screwing it up by trying.

**Moderators** I wasnt sure if I should delete my original help request post to try and keep the QA cleaner or leave it so others can find it to reference. Feel free to delete that and this one if necessary.

My issues of a blank screen on my LG V30 has been solved thanks to the post by DJDarkKnight.

Disabling all the overlays through ADB fixed it right away. Thanks a lot!

For reference, I am on a Mac and here is the process and the commands used, starting by following DJDKs advice on pulling up the list of overlays.

Connect through ADB - Pull list of active and inactive overlays.

Ran the following command - ./adb shell cmd overlay list

Should generate a long list with sections like this:

com.android.phone

--- com.android.phone.overlay

[ ] com.lge.theme.superbatterysaving.phone

[ ] com.android.phone.DNADarkEdition

[x] com.android.phone.DefaultDarkTheme.darktransparent

com.lge.videostudio

--- com.lge.videostudio.overlay

com.android.systemui

[ ] com.lge.theme.superbatterysaving.systemui

[ ] com.android.systemui.DNADarkEdition

[ ] com.android.systemui.tiles.DNADarkEdition

[ ] com.android.systemui.statusbars.DNADarkEdition

[ ] com.android.systemui.PixelTheme.Android80

[x] com.android.systemui.DefaultDarkTheme.android8darktransparent.darktransparent

Once you go through the list of overlays generated, find all the ones with an X and run the commands to disable them. I had to run 8 disable commands.

./adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.systemui.DefaultDarkTheme.android8darktransparent.darktransparent

./adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.phone.DefaultDarkTheme.darktransparent

./adb shell cmd overlay disable com.google.android.packageinstaller.DefaultDarkTheme.darktransparent

./adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.server.telecom.DefaultDarkTheme.darktransparent

./adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.bips.DefaultDarkTheme.darktransparent

./adb shell cmd overlay disable projekt.substratum.DefaultDarkTheme.darktransparent

./adb shell cmd overlay disable android.DefaultDarkTheme.darktransparent

./adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.documentsui.DefaultDarkTheme.darktransparent

Lastly I ran one more enable command on one overlay I knew had worked before. I am not sure if this last thing I did mattered, as I think it would have just defaulted back to its original look if i hadn't enabled one., but just in case here is what that looked like:

./adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.systemui.PixelTheme.Android80

And now everything is looking good as before i screwed it up.

BIG PROPS TO [MENTION=2126467]djdarkknight96[/MENTION] for the post that saved my day and let me fix this all in under five mins.
