I'm only having these 2 options when applying a mod in LineageOS 14.1....the main reason i point out that is it requires a reboot to make the applied changes. (attached a screenshot)

but when i was in LineageOS 15.0, I've got over 5 options i think, that only takes some seconds to make the change using "build & update" option.....pls help

(i roll back to 7.1 due to some bugs in 8.0)

Mobile Reboot when Open "Substratum" App

Hello. I am running Lineage OS 14.1

I downloaded and install a theme through "Substratum". System UI crashed when the theme applied. Then I tried to launch the "Substratum" app. But whenever I launch it, my phone reboot. I want to go back to my previous theme. How can I do it?

Please help me.

Earlier, in a similar fashion, the app icons wouldn't change n I cleared data of Pixel Launcher to restore them to default.

Cleaning cache or full reboot didn't help.

Upon updating Substratum version 901, applying themes get stuck on "Building and Applying" on the first app. Currently using legacy mode on Nougat (Oxygen OS). Swift Black is the only theme that I have, so I'm not sure if this occurs with other themes as well. I've already flashed the legacy recovery zip and tried reapplying after updating, but it still gets stuck. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Automatic contextual profile switching

Hello everyone,

I just have a little question: is the automatic contextual profile switching actually working or do you manually need to do something to get it to work?

I have set it up to switch between Belo and Mono/Art during respectably day and night times and I noticed it actually tried switching between said themes, but didn't completely go through with it. What I mean with that, is that the theme of some elements did change, but not of all elements which made, for example, reading my notifications impossible. So again, is the automatic contextual profile switching completely working or did I simply have to wait a bit longer or are there some steps to be manually taken?

Thank you all in advance and have a great day!

Hi everyone,

Using a Samsung Galaxy S8+ SM-G955FD on Substratum version 905 and the Samsung add-on version 36. I have enabled dangerous overlays, but they are not showing up in the Theme Packs section. My past overlays do show up in the manager, though. Please and thanks.

[prjkt.io] Therexin:
It is not an issue of the themer. I am reporting that the button for allowing dangerous overlays no longer works. Tapping it on or off does nothing on versions higher than 901. Please fix this. Thanks.

EDIT: Upon reading the changelog, it seems you added this at version 902 with:

Please revert this. Some of the themes, while not optimised, still work without issues on Sungstratum.
[prjkt.io] nathanchance:
It won't be reverted. That was specifically added at the request of a few themers who don't want their themes being used on Samsung devices to avoid bogus bug reports. If you want to use those themes, consider reaching out to the themers and requesting they enable that flag to true. You're free to build the APK without that commit regardless.

I installed the Galaxy evolution theme. I rebooted my phone and things were sluggishly slow ?couldn't open settings just got a black screen. When I opened substratum I saw the loading animation and wasn't responsive. However I managed to fix this by rerlashing my current ROM and running the legacy rescue zip from twrp. I'm using Lineage OS 14.1 Magisk 14.3 Moto G3 2015 substratum is installed on SD card will that make a difference ?? Next time I'll take a backup of /system first?

Since two most recent substratum update when I try to apply or remove an overlay (swift black for example) I get no errors, it "applies/removes" theme but does nothing when I click reboot. Doesn't reboot from substatum menu either or using stock system reboot menu. Ive tried rescue legacy zip, didn't remove overlays either. I even went into setting and cleared cache/data there. Also occassionally when I open substratum I will get a brief flash of the Substratum splash screen then screen goes black and I have to reboot. Running rooted magisk 14.3, OxygenOS OB15 (second version) 7.1.1 OP3T. Everything was working fine (and most themes are working fine just several apps need theme updated) .

1. Have both substratum and andromeda installed on phone

2. Connect phone to PC and launch the andromeda program adb thingy

4. It finally asked me for root access and I can use themes without the need of PC

If it doesn't work for you then it might be device/OS specific

Status Bar Icons

Hello, I bought your app so I could change the status bar icons. When I installed all of the overlays, I did not like them and uninstalled them. Problem is, the solid wifi and data bars did not revert back. I preferred the separated lines as opposed to the solid. How can I get my default back? I did try installed the default. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the whole theme app. Restarted the phone too. Help.........................

Also, changing the look of status bar icons seems to be a lost art. Can't seem to even change the colors. Does anyone on here know how to do this because substratum doesn't really have many options. No offense.
[prjkt.io] purian23:
You are missing a whole lot of information here for someone to help. Your device, Android version that you are on, your version of substratum, your theme. Did you uninstall your theme only, or did you uninstall the overlays within the substratum app, or the Substratum app itself?

Then try an reboot your device. There are many different ways to achieve getting back to stock. You always want to read up before you purchase something without understanding it fully. There's a thread how to uninstall overlays with adb as well.

I have a galaxy nexus . It's rooted & I have installed lineage 7.1 on it. It works great but I never liked the quick settings pull down menu color. ( the old green was better ) After I read about substratum I thought I would try it . Interesting enough play store said it was not compatible. I installed it anyway. Then a lot of the themes were said to be incompatible . I have 3 installed & they all work fine.

Funny about this my samsung s4 has the touch wiz turquoise color that I hated . I installed Xposed on that phone to get rid of it & now the galaxy nexus menu is (yep ) turquoise. ( either that or the white or black ) Full circle ......... funny

But this is a great break thru for cell phones Thanks

The greenish background color of the nougat quick settings pull down menu that is exposed when you hit the edit icon would be a great if it were used for the background pull down color instead of the black.

So... I have a question. I've been using Substratum on my OP3T (running Validus Beta v16.3 Oreo 8.0.0) for a while now and it's been fine even though it's not officially supported (been using the Nexus/Pixel option). Now whenever I open the Substratum app it asks me to purchase Andromeda because my device is now supported.

But I have root.... I don't want to do the non-root method because it's kind of not necessary.

I have purchased Andromeda because I do want to support the devs and their efforts on getting a rootless version working, but in my situation I don't see the point since I am already using Magisk and was happy with how it was. Any help or information for me that I must have missed or anything?

Extra information: Substratum v914, Swift Black v12.9, Magisk v14.3

I have an issue but im unsure if its substratum itself or the theme but after toggling WiFi or mobile data system ui crashes sometimes and then the ui of the theme resets to default, everything else stays themed. Im using Xperia xz premium with stock rom no root on oreo. I cant provide a logcat since im unrooted. I did a factory reset not too long ago since I need to change the region of the rom to a UK firmware. After that it was working fine and there wasnt any crashes. Only when I reapplied the theme did it start to crash again. If anything could be suggested that would be great. Also the theme im using is mono/art and substratum version is 914. Additionally I also get these errors when applying the theme again eventhough it applies.

Substratum factory reset to remove?

Hello, I'm new to this site. I need help with substratum because it has recently become impossible to remove the overlays and when I try to do so they freeze and reboot the phone.

I am worried that this is due to having applied multiple swift dark and black themes and applying them without unaplying the other, confusing the list of what's themed and what's not. If tbats not how it works then I don't understand what could be causing this severe problem.

It is also important to mention that if I do not try to uninstall the overlays one by one, and I just use the phone as I normally would, nothing is effected performance size. I simply wish to uninstall substratum and everything to do with it on my device.

I am running it on a galaxy note 8.

If a factory reset would completley erase the problem I am willing to do that, but wanted to confirm with someone who knows what they are talking about first..

Thanks for any replies.
