does not work Substratum Huawei P10 Lite WAS-LX1

Hi.

maybe a problem in EMUI?

I tried different options, build, reboot, apply ... completely the theme does not apply, can change the color, can change the navigation buttons, but none of the theme have not been applied completely.

Substratum works with andromeda (payment), without root.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I don't think many themes work on stock EMUI software. You'll need a custom Rom to use Substratum fully on that device or only theme 3rd party apps nothing system.
[prjkt.io] djwuh:
Thanks for the help. I long pressed icon for recover me and it says recovering system but nothing seems to change. Play Store still Auto force closes immediately. Every time I open substratum it says verification has failed and it won't let me go any further I am only given the option to the close substratum. When I open Google Play Store through a browser I can view the substratum app and in his newest updates it says that the newest Google Play Store is causing the non verification problem. So I Uninstalled all play store updates and reverted back to original and still have same problem. Any other ideas?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Try uninstalling the overlay to playstore in your apps list in settings, it will be com.android.vending.... something. If not showing the overlays "in many cases will not" try adb with pc to remove it.

How to fix System Loops with pc no root adb:

In the Andomeda folder Right click holding shift, click "Open command window here"

Type this:

1. adb shell cmd overlay list

2. adb shell cmd overlay disable <package.theme.options.androidversion>

example android.Sprite.BlackNotifyBGAccentTextBlueBerry.SammySungOreo

3. all overlays with [x] in the front are enabled.

Note Android and Systemui are most common issues

Hi! I am a stock oos oneplus 5 user, with latest oos version installed. I use 4 themes: curve, ozone, swift black and pitch black. Recently when i try to apply sqift black and ozone themes it gives error that no theme builder file substratum cache folder, i went to that folder using solid explorer but nothing was there. While pitch black and curve doesn't have any error but taking a little bit longer to apply themes. See the logchar reports:

[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
From telegram support chat:

In order to use Substratum themes on Android Pie, you'll have to follow these steps:

• Use the latest beta build from substratum ci channel

• Make sure the theme you're using supports Pie.

• Select the overlays you wish to install

• Select _Build & Update_ from the FAB

• Reboot your device

• Open Substratum and go to _Manager_

• Select the overlays you built earlier

• _Enable selected_ from the FAB

Requirements:

*Rooted* device running on Android Pie.

*NOTE*:

• You'll not be able to apply themes on non-rooted Android Pie because Google blocked custom overlays since March Security patch.

• Don't install Andromeda or you won't be able to proceed after the splash screen.
[prjkt.io] gvsukids:
It would be nice to not have such long reboot after building the theme

I'm new to using substratum, but I noticed on some other people's devices there is a "Build and enable" button. On my s8+ it only shows install overlays, which I have to click through every single overlay to install them manually.. Really annoying. My substratum is up to date, is there a reason why mine is missing the button? here are some images of what I mean. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am a rooted user, the adb command doesn't work for me. I don't know the recovery zip you are talking about, or is it the rescue zip. I used the rescue zip and everything works fine. The downside is i have to reinstall all my themes.??

The right way to do it is to go data/system via recovery and delete the entry of overlay in the overlays.xml file.

Can you elaborate the steps to install two substratum theme?

I am having the problem. Whenever I install swiftblack theme on dialer app and excluding the remaining apps, the dialer app gets themed properly but when I chose Valerie theme excluding the dialer app which was already themed, then I see the Valerie theme distroys the dialer app theme work done by swiftblack theme, As a result every app is themed by Valerie but the dialer get the default one(white background as default).

the same happens when I apply Valerie first excluding dialer app and the applying swiftblack on dialer app excluding the remaining apps then I see swiftblack black is themed properly for dialer app, but swiftblack distroys the Valerie theme for remaing apps.

Please help , how to get two or more overlays from substartum.

For your kind information, I am running OMNI 8.1 on my oneplus 3t.
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
Believe me, I'm no substratum expert by any stretch. I'm using a stock, rooted P2XL, vs your device, which may be cause #1 as to why your having trouble with 2 themes. Second, might be how some themes are coded for the android system and the google apps. The system theme will sometimes override the app theme, which I've experienced myself. The 2 themes I'm currently using is Pitch Black and Swift Dark. I use PB for system, UI, and settings, and SD for all my other apps, which works perfectly. And that's the best explanation I can give you :cool:
[prjkt.io] Gengasi:
Do I need to do anything else?

I installed substratum and Andromeda and used the script through adb on my Xiaomi Min A2 and installed a theme. It didn't apply correctly so I decided to quit trying to theme my phone and I uninstalled all the themes before I finally uninstalled the Andromeda and Substratum app. Is there anything else I need to do to get these applications 100% out of the system? Does the adb script alter any of the phones partitions, and if so, is it possible to revert this back to 100% stock?
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
Most, but not all themes have colors and other assets set in the android system (framework) overlay which are also used in other overlays in the theme.

If you just select the dialer overlay, it'll use the assets from that overlay and any framework assets would come from the rom's framework.

If you select the dialer overlay from one theme and the android framework overlay from another, it'll use the dialer assets from the first overlay and any framework assets would come from the android system overlay of the other.

If you add more overlays from different themes, the effect can be great, but it can also be chaotic depending on how the devs have written the themes and how complex they are.

The only real way to see if overlays from different themes can work together is to experiment with different setups and overlay priorities.

Issue with Substratum[Google Pixel, Android P]

This is my first time on xda, so forgive any etiquette that I might be breaking, but here goes!

I was using substratum on my pixel 8..1 just fine. I updated to Android P, and now I get an error saying that substratum "could not fall back to rooted mode".

After getting this message I realized I would probably need to root my phone again, so I rooted my phone, used a root checker and verified that my pixel is indeed rooted.

However, I still get the error when connecting my pixel to the Andromeda backend.

Please Help

Delete Andromeda, it is not needed on rooted Pie, only Substratum and a theme that supports Pie.

It's because everything was too new my friend. Now we have had a few days of testing and users helping find fixes. You have to remove all modules before using overlays. It's something with modules overriding overlays...not exactly but close to why...so enable theme first then modules. Blame Google.

Hope that helps!

[prjkt.io] githyanki:
Edit: Oops, misunderstood some earlier posts.
[prjkt.io] sykopompos:
Well there is the problem, somehow the dir didn't get created for system/overlay.

Most likely because you still have your old layers folders which is stopping it from creating the new symlinks.

Clear substratum data then reboot to recovery

Go into twrp, delete vendor/overlay and system/vendor/overlay and if it exists system/overlay

Then reboot, this clears out the linkage from layers and allows substratum to create the folders, set permission and create the symlinks which the old directories (and trying to use layers manager when it is depreciated will cause the linkage to get broken which is why it is said not to use it anymore)

What is happening on the 5x and 6p is there was a problem going into N with vendor partition size so we loop it back to the system partition which can get more space by removing preinstalled google apps from that partition and just reinstalling them which will put them onto the data partition instead.

You are literally breaking that loop link and causing it not to be able yo read it.

All this information is on the first page of this thread
[prjkt.io] sykopompos:
Read the answer I just gave, same case for you too

No no no no no no no no no no no no no.

Quit spreading misinformation.

substratum works on nexus ROMs completely out the box with no problems, it is normally the 5x and 6p that had the problem with having layers previously installed and not following upgrading instructions.

If you have something other then a nexus on mm and up then we can not guarantee that subs will work on stock since it was designed with a nexus and aosp source in mind.

Subs was developed and extensively tested on bring up on both MM and N (where we had dp) on nexus 5, 6, 5x, and 6p

As an RC, I read and try to help where I can. Actually, I was trying to help with a little humor. I'm not on Android N yet, so the tiles do not show up for me, and if it is a custom ROM, they may not all work as intended. The tile names seemed obvious what they do to me. So here are my guesses, just for fun and grins with my morning coffee. :)

SubstratumTile - Opens Substratum

MasqueradeCheckTile - Checks Masquerade status likely just like in Menu, Settings - care to dance?

CharCacheClearTile - Clears Substratum Cache

SandwichTile (just because!) - just for fun, a little humor, something to make you smile. Or not.
