Running nougat with SuperSU root. Thanks

I think that if you're running the Stock Rom you might also need to get SungStratum to be able to use the Samsung Substratum Themes... I think. ?

Hey, thanks, I tried that and it still won't work CERTAIN themes will work (eg/pitch black) but others dont even appear. It's odd
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
What Android Version are you running? If it's Android 7.0 or later Substratum should be working fine - Also are you running the Stock Firmware or a Custom Rom?

I'm running stock, 7.0. It works with certain themes, other themes just don't appear at all
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Check and see if Swift Black works for you - It's a Paid app - But from what I've heard Swift is very good at refunds if their Themes don't work for you ?

Nexus 5X, Android 8.1 rooted, Substratum 914

I have a question about "App-based overlay refresher" and "Theme-based overlay refresher", how those features should work? I have enabled both, but the overlay does not update when I update theme and also not when I update themed app.

And, I have disabled "Dynamically reload SystemUI", but when I update overlay my SystemUI restarts.

OK so I got substratum 562 which apparently supports Android 6. I downloaded Swift Black and selected Android 6 from the theme drop down menu in substratum but whenever I apply it and reboot my device, there is no theme applied. Substratum says that the theme was applied successfully but there is no change.

Again Im on rooted stock Galaxy C5 Android 6.0.1.

Well, he said it wasn't working with other themes, Magpie and such.

Anyhow... Good job for Swift Black to work with as much as it does.

Problems to install substratum engine on Note 8

I'm installing the app from the play store but it's installing the Legacy app.

I bought a swift theme and downloaded a free one they are giving away now but the layers are not applied.

Is there a way to uninstall the app and remove any residual files that might be wrong on my device?

As I understand the app should not say "Legacy". Also it works really laggy and it's tedious to use.
[prjkt.io] Ja_som:
Depends on your ROM, if it does not support OMS then Substratum works in legacy mode.

Unless you tell us your device and ROM, no one can help you.

Notification colors

Ok this is fixed thank you. I had to clear and reinstall everything.

[prjkt.io] Legitsu:
getting constant breakage on klte and rr 5.8.x

every time a app updates the entire overlay brakes requiring a recompile

something that should be done in the background automatically(it does but it takes far to long a reboot is usually required it should be done within seconds of a play store update)

and no its not(usually) a case of the theme(swiftblack) needing a update a simple unload of the theme and reload fixes the problem --exceptions are when youtube or messenger brakes something which they do all the time but that leads me to my next point. there has to be a better way todo this overlays should be more stand alone less reliance on the app developers doing their jobs

my experience with substratum has been generally poor because of this I had decided to discounting using it until somebody comes up with a better way of handling app changes

I had some whiteboard ideas for a ML driven different approach to handling app updates that would make sub more flexible when it comes to apps changing without the theme maintainer needing to update unless there os a major change in the app whats the saying time and money ....

it would involve substratum braking down the app at run time analazing what has changed and doing some fuzzy logic/java-fu and patching the theme/app-runtime so it works possibly even going as far as replacing ui elements in memory(replacing/redirecting calls?) this would help maintain theme compatibility across minor app revisions, so themer updates would only be needed when there was a significant UI change
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Wish the updates would be that easy to do with batch scripts and python. But there are way too many resources that share like text, tint and backgrounds as well as hard coded work arounds we use. It's not as simple as you think.

Hi guys I need some help, first of sorry if this has already been discussed but I can't go through all the pages because there are so many. Anyways, here is my problem, so I'm on Android O official beta for the OnePlus 5(unrooted) and I've installed Substratum as well as Andromeda, I paid for it. I went on to activate it from my computer everything was fine it showed me the green light but when it comes to themes I check the boxes and apply the theme nothing happens not a damn thing? I tried several themes but nothing works I really don't know what the problem is. Any solutions? Thanks in advance.
[prjkt.io] pkelly517:
If you can't go through the pages... then you really don't deserve support. That being said....

You just installed a beta OS. Wait a day or two.

Again, you just installed a beta OS.

Great, great job with this! This is just going to get bigger and bigger! Apologies in advance. Just a report, I've used the search to narrow down my personal "bug", but couldn't find my solution. I'm on VM galaxy s3 7.1.2 carbon rom, substratum works flawless on device, but only dialer & messaging I can't get any overlays to stick. No theme I tried yet has stuck those overlays. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks. ( I meant to quote op. Woops)
[prjkt.io] aditya005:
On oreo,Application's name in notifications is getting colored to accent.On contacting theme developers, they said that it is hardcolored and needs exposure.So whether it can't be solved or not?Also it is rom issue or substrantum issue?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Is hard coded where themes cannot touch. Google issue not subs. Hangouts, whatsapp, and a few others have it hard coded. If it bothers you ask the theme dev to add optional stock notification or even a lighter option. I added it to mine a few days ago for Stock oreo users. I have lighter colors options as well to see them better.

On AOSP roms we have it fixed since it's open source. Disabled in code not to use accent or hard coded names.

Hope that explains better

The themes you have installed actually have those packages but they aren't theming or no package to try and theme? I have testers on carbon that have no issues but possibly using Google dialer and messages. Try those?
[prjkt.io] f.costello:
Thanks, I'll do that! Thanks for you and your team's work. Your team's themes always been on point.

I have redmi note 4 mido having los 15 installed. substratum working well in my device. i have installed a theme named default dark substratum theme. in this i am able to change only the background to dark and the select buttons to selected color. I like to change the main text in settings menu to different colors and icons colors also. i tried many themes but no luck. pls tell me which theme i can go for to change the text and icon color
[prjkt.io] demonoidmaster:
That's not something that's possible in that theme, use another theme that let's you change the color for Settings (com.android.settings) or the entire Android System (android) to select colors, for example try Nova UI theme
[prjkt.io] Techie Android:
OnePlus One running Lineage OS 14.1

I go to turn my phone off, and it instantly starts rebooting.

When I click on the keyboard options in settings it instantly reboots.

I've narrowed this problem down to only happening when I have Substratum.

These things also happen on my Shield K1.
[prjkt.io] Legitsu:
this may explain some of my stability related issues as well

I been trying to catch it in logcat but it doesn't produce anything

cm theme engine/layers never had any of these stability problems or apps breaking on update (at least not with the frequency I have experienced on multiple devices) there has to be a better approach

[prjkt.io] Techie Android:
Is support lacking somehow in Lineage OS 14.1 for Substratum on the OnePlus One? I have temporarily removed it to stop the assault of reboot problems. Is legacy support all there is, if so, why?

[prjkt.io] Techie Android:
In that case, my best bet is to just recompile Lineage OS builds with support (the interfacer I'm guessing is what the ROM lacks). But that still doesn't explain the problems I've had, does it?

I am using Xperia XZ, with android 8. Not root but using Andromeda.

I recently encounter a problem with System UI not responding so I had to manually uninstall all the overlay through ADB. That fixed the problem.

However, after I tried installing a new Theme, it all work fine. The nav bar icons, etc. But one thing I can't help but notice is the notification panel color not changing.

As you can see in the screen shot I provided, the system UI is updated (as seen in the brightness slider) and the Icons.

But the background color is still black while it should be white. This happens in any theme I applied.

Before the encounter, I had able to change its color.

Hello, i got some issues with Sub. i Use substratum with andromeda (non rooted) and Oreo 8.0 on my Pixel. Using Baltic UI theme.

I didnt themed any app.

First one is when i use Pushbullet app to transfer files between devices, when i try to open any file transfered to phone liek txt or pdf (besides images) it crashes the app.

Second one is that any application which has access to calendar adds anything to calendar it adds events as Birthdays, and then after 5 second even this birthdays are gone from calendar.

Maybe im wrong and substratum has nothing to do with it, but please let me know is it possible to substratum crash that apps and causes that problems with calendar?

And additional question, if i want to get rid of substratum themes and apply factory settings should i disable themes and uninstall substratum before or can i go to factory settings besides that? (non rooted installation of substratum)

And also can i update system to 8.1 with installed themes or i should get rid of them before? Thanks in advance for replying.

Sorry if any of these questions were asked before but there is so many topics and post about that so it gets really hard hard to get exact answer.

Thanks in advance!!!
[prjkt.io] Ja_som:
Maybe issue with theme, not with Substratum.

Not sure what you mean with factory settings, but if you don't want themes just remove overlays via Substratum app, uninstall theme app and Substratum app.

You can let them installed, but if you are not 100% sure if you want, you can disable overlays via Substratum app, update to 8.1, then reapply them (compile and enable) or not (if you don't want them on 8.1)
[prjkt.io] funek1:
Thanks for replying, i meant: if i want to reset to factory settings do i need to disable theme before or i can just go and reset to factory settings.
[prjkt.io] Ja_som:
I think it is better to disable theme before that.

I kinda dont think this is a substratum issue but i will post anyway.

I have a pixel xl running the final release of 8.1 stock rooted with magisk 14.6 and everything works great until i apply swift dark titanium backup stops working so i removed the theme and cleaned it up. then rebooted after a reboot everthing is stock colors except the status bar its still dark and titanium still crashes i am installing 8.1 from scratch again with the -w to clean the entire phone but just curious if this is a bug of sorts?
[prjkt.io] IrocD:
updated to 8.1 without clearing the overlays....

So, I tried flashing the 8.1 Final using Chainfire like a tutorial suggested. That was my second mistake.

My first mistake was not disabling my Substratum overlays before doing the above, even though I knew better. So anyway...

I knew something wasn't right the way my device rebooted in the middle of Chainfire doing its thing, and was on the G/progress bar for a long time. I decided to dirty flash the complete factory image, and I removed the '-w' from the flash-all script so it wouldn't wipe my data.

Now the device boots, and of course I have the System UI issue because I didn't clear the overlays.

I found this thread which has ADB commands that supposedly fix this. So I fastboot booted into TWRP to run the commands. It asks for my password- and when I enter it, it says it's invalid!! I tried numerous times, rebooted etc, and it still does not accept my passcode.

It appears I should be able to use ADB in TWRP without my passcode, so I give it a try. I am able to sideload no problem, however when I type 'adb shell' it tells me 'error:closed'. I've searched that error, which everyone says was fixed for them with either a reboot or updating their adb/fastboot. I did both of those things, and the error still persists.

I have also tried sideloading the substratumrescue.zip file I found in this thread, however it doesn't seem to be made for this systemless setup or something.

I have had to set this device up twice since I got it, and I am really not looking forward to doing it a third time, so if anyone has any suggestions that will keep my data, I would be happy to hear them out!!

Is there any other way I can fix this, such as a rescue zip designed to run those commands that ADB won't let me do?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Yes in twrp use the file manager to delete the overlay in data/app look for com.android.systemui.theme.name and delete them all. Reboot. Should not loop. Wait for themes to update to 8.1 before using any themes.
[prjkt.io] IrocD:
I would do that. However since TWRP is for some reason not accepting my passcode, I cannot decrypt and therefore cannot find the folder since they are all labeled with garbage. Thanks for the response tho.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I seen that before, I had to reboot a few times to looping systemui then back to recovery it finally didn't ask for password and I could recover. TWRP issue I guess
[prjkt.io] bggold:
Had the same issue once. I just pushed the recovery to /data and installed it from there and was able to boot normally.
[prjkt.io] IrocD:
Can you elaborate on this a bit please? How do you 'push the recovery to /data'?

I need to get into TWRP and decrypt so that I can delete theme overlays.

However TWRP says my passcode is invalid, and when I try to ADB shell I get 'error:closed',

Thanks!
[prjkt.io] bggold:
Try to do an adb push recovery.zip /data after you boot twrp and cancel the password prompt.

The /data is not encrypted so you will be able to install from there.
[prjkt.io] IrocD:
Hey I responded in the other thread. I was able to push TWRP and install it. However when I boot into it, my screen is non-responsive. Any ideas?
