Custom Android setup with Substratum on latest RR ROM.

[youtube]f1ejpSWUMQs[/youtube]

Let me know if you like.
[prjkt.io] 10TONNE:
galaxy note 4, emotion os running nougat 7.1.2.

substratum takes waaay too long at "installing overlay" sometimes, usually stuck at the first app (i.e. android system if i want to apply to all or whatever application i want to theme)

the last this happens was when applying emoji theme for whatsapp.

if i am not mistaken, this often happen when i select "build and enable", should i disable previous theme and compile the new theme?
[prjkt.io] rickysidhu_:
Clearing cache and/or force stopping interfacer service and then applying your theme should do the trick
[prjkt.io] 10TONNE:
interfacer service is subtratum, right?

i didn't find "interfacer service" in apps menu
[prjkt.io] RockyAJ:
Using nexus 6p screw'd latest build with flash kernel latest build. Substratum theme engine and lone4subs latest version as well. Can someone tell me what error the logcat gives? And anyway to fix it? Thanks
[prjkt.io] rickysidhu_:
Yeah, go into Substratum settings and choose "force stop interfacer service"

My Pixel XL is on 7.1.2. Substratum 730 with Swift Dark 7.8 is working fine for me, mostly. Sometimes the themes don't install on the first try. There's also error messages, but the apps still seem fine after the reboot.
[prjkt.io] ChasedMonkey:
What are you using for root? Magisk 11 works better for me than magisk 12, but I haven't tried SuperSU.

Using los 0518

Used multiple substrantum theme... While long pressing power button. In some theme... System soft boots automatically even without opening the menu (any menu) just i long press power button n it rebbots... Happns in some themes n song goes good... Wot to do?
[prjkt.io] Ja_som:
I don't have this issue on my N7 II with LOS, A Swift Dark theme, probably your theme is not optimized for Android 7.1.x. Try to remove overlay for "Android system" and "System UI", if it helps, then it is a issue with theme and you should report it to theme dev.
[prjkt.io] RockyAJ:
Anyone?
[prjkt.io] nathanchance:
What is the issue? Nobody can read a huge logcat without knowing what they are looking for.
[prjkt.io] RockyAJ:
I had emailed the dev. I even posted in a couple threads here on xda and google plus. But the flash comes to the rescue again. When i first installed substratum theme engine, like 2builds back, if i had an error building a theme, i would get a box that tells exactly what it is. But now it doesn't. So when i try to apply lone4subs i get a notification about an error but no details. I really dunno what the error is.
[prjkt.io] nathanchance:
I've had a few people ask the same thing and I've let Nick know so hopefully after the O bring up, it can be addressed. The only error I see in that logcat is a Navbars error
[prjkt.io] 10TONNE:
that did it!

Device - oneplus 3t

Rom- stock rooted

I can apply themes but whenever i install fonts i don't see any option to select the font.

Even typeface app cant build fonts

See screenshots.
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
Since OOS on the OP3T doesn't have OMS support, only overlays will work and most other features (fonts etc.) wont.

To use all the features of a theme, you'll need a rom that supports OMS.
[prjkt.io] 123hegel321:
I'm having some problems. I reinstalled my OxygenOS 4.1.3 and installed Substratum app and a theme. I applied it and everything was fine.

After a day some of apps that had Substratum overlays were updated and didn't work before or after restarting my device. Then I removed all overlays in Substratum, restarted my device and opened a program to check if overlays were still there, and they were, even though I removed them and got a message saying that.

Searching for a solution that does not require reinstalling OS, i found that I have to flash some zips via TWRP. I did and nothing changed. Then I found that I should remove overlay.xml from data/system, went there in TWRP and it does not exist.

What should I do? I have apps which I cant open or use because they updated and cant remove overlays to fix it. Please help!
[prjkt.io] side:
good evening people.great stuff here i see :D

one question...

i am shipping a rom with preinstalled substratum.is there any chance to make substratum have installed a predefined theme,on ROM's first boot ?
[prjkt.io] RockyAJ:
Try uninstalling those apps then reinstalling them. Happened with playstore for me at some point
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
I'm running Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 with OMS support on a Galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 - With the latest update to Swift Black two items continue to show "update available" - This is after a reboot and I tried to Update & also Build & Enable - But these two items are still showing "update available"?

I'm not terribly concerned - everything appears correctly - Just curious.
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
Same here on Nexus 6. Pure Nexus AOSP based, full OMS 7. I've emailed the Swift Black dev., how could this be Substratum?
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
No idea If the issue is with Substratum or Swift Black... I posted here since [MENTION=3605033]nicholaschum[/MENTION] is a Genius :)

The solution is probably to Wipe Cache and Data for Swift Black or Uninstall and Reinstall the Theme.... But like I said that Nicholas is one smart man!
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
I just looked in the Swift Theme Telegram and others reported the same issue - Deactivating Swift Black and Applying again seems to be the "fix".

Edit: Yup that works :)
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
Mount system in TWRP then use the TWRP file manager in Advanced settings​ to delete the overlays from system/vendor/overlays. Deleting the .xml is for custom OMS ROMs, not legacy.
[prjkt.io] DaHell:
Is anyone facing an issue where substratum states that the theme is not licenced even though I have downloaded it from the play store. I do not have lucky patcher installed.
[prjkt.io] MSF Jarvis:
It can happen when the first license check times out due to connection issues. Wipe data for the theme and try again
[prjkt.io] carlos974:
I would put icons on 2 columns in settings. :confused: I use the theme lone 4subs.

Thanks in advance :good:
[prjkt.io] MSF Jarvis:
Your ROM lacks support for it if this isn't working for you
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
You can email the theme dev and ask if he will include that option on the theme.
[prjkt.io] 123hegel321:
Thanks for replying, but I already tried that, did not work. But in the mean time came a substratum app update and reapplying the themes afterward solved it.
[prjkt.io] aLexzkter:
Is it normal that every time most, if not all, apps get updated they crash when trying to use them right after the update took place ?

I'm using swift black theme on a 7.1.1 OMS powered phone.
[prjkt.io] Letzen:
Um, please write that "Take a backup of your phone because just a theme engine can destroy your system UI and can/will cause to reinstall your ROM.".

Because no one thinks that a theme engine crashes its own System UI right?

If substratum crashes System UI, there is no getting back. The coder should include if systemui process is not working after 15 seconds, kill the process so we can revert.

Reinstalling my ROM, sigh.
[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
We have a recovery ZIP AND a key combination for you to enter Overlay disabling mode.

Instead of typing up all that text above, a simple search would yield two methods of recovering your system on both legacy and OMS.
[prjkt.io] carlos974:
I modified the resolution of the lcd display and it is good ! :good:
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
Awesome, glad to hear it :)
[prjkt.io] Letzen:
I know you can revert with the ZIP. I don't say you don't have it. People should always backup their OSes because sometimes ZIP fails (tried on lots of phones).

I run backups all the time, I don't flash/change/test anything without doing so first, it's common sense :laugh:
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
From the Play Store app description :

It's assumed that users understand the basics of root and custom recoveries, and how to recover their devices if they run into problems. We're not responsible for anything you do to your device."

We can't hold everyone's hand, if a user has root and/or a custom OMS ROM, they're expected​ to use common sense. If they don't, they will learn why they should.

Hi guys, I'm having a little issue with substratum.

Every time I theme the android system, regardless of what theme it is, navbar and statusbar background go trasparent.

I'm on stock 7.1.2 Pixel rooted, so it's legacy method, but no errors, just really annoying when I'm using white backgroud applications because navbar and statusbar icons are completely invisible without that dark default backgroud.

Any possible fix? Thanks.

latest Play Music crashes with the Swift Black theme.

I tried to:

nothing worked :( I even updated to the latest TWRP (blu_spark, 3.1.1.x v33) but no luck. I'm running the 2.9 Freedom ROM Beta on my One Plus 3.

what else can I do to remove it?

Hey guys. I have Nitrogen OS + substratum + theme enabled on my phone, then I updated my phone to the latest nitrogen build, and now I can't even getting into my lockscreen with systemui FC notification. IDK who's the culprit, I think substratum only work with latest gapps, so I downloaded today's gapps from opengapps, and flashed it but still, nothing happened.

Is there any way to restore default theme / uninstall my current substratum from TWRP so I won't lose any data?
[prjkt.io] Skull97:
Flash SubstratumRescue.zip inside substratum folder in internal storage.
[prjkt.io] vexa:
Can't find the zip anywhere, even the substratum folder doesn't exist in my internal.

No. Nitrogen OS should have OMS, so flash my attached file.

Holy ****, you saved my life man. Thanks!

Any thoughts on why the substratum folder disappear?
[prjkt.io] Oswald Boelcke:
Negative, Substratum doesn't require GApps. I'm GApps-free with Resurrection Remix-N-v5.8.3 on all of our devices, and Substratum together with PitchBlack Origin as theme is simply working fantastically.
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Yeah you must have Flashed the INVISIBLE Theme - Jk - lol ?

But - Seriously the Substratum folder should be found here:

/sd/substratum
[prjkt.io] Oswald Boelcke:
Guess I flashed the invisible Substratum, too - but at least it's invisibly working perfectly...:D

I can confirm I have neither a Substratum folder on external SD or internal memory nor the SubstratumRescue.zip. Device search by root explorer unsuccesfully.
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
I'm tempted to say "look harder".... The Substratum folder is on all my Devices that are running Roms with OMS support..... And in the same location on the internal sd - I do also (not required but a good idea) Copy the Rescue zips to my external sd and upload to my Dropbox & Drive... Belt & Suspenders approach to redundancy ?
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
Flashing the rescue zip removes the Substratum folder and zips, after using it, uninstalling and reinstalling Subs should replace it
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
That makes sense - I've never had to Flash the Rescue zip.

[MENTION=3605033]nicholaschum[/MENTION], I have one question. Why official rescue zips does not have "/data/resource-cache" directory removal in the script? I have noticed that on the roms with legacy mode and no OMS support adding this removal to the script fixes the issues with bootloop and so on after flashing ROM update. You should consider putting that in official zips, as I am using modified zip with a success on Lineage since almost 2 months already.

Might be a silly question but at least for me, it is not that obvious: when updating apps, do i have to rebuild the substratum theme each time? Or is it something like "updates to apps might introduce new features which then are not skinned but all previous skinned features still work/look like before"?!
[prjkt.io] nathanchance:
It depends. Some apps may not change any of their resources so a rebuild isn't necessary. Other times, the app may look weird or janky without a rebuild and in rare cases, the app may crash without a rebuild. It all kind of depends.

Try and enable android system first using the float UI or try enabling a theme via settings/display/themes. I was on Subs 760 on Odp2 and I was only able to get themes to apply normally only first enabling Android system for the theme via float UI. I was on odp3 but haven't tried subs on it yet. I had to downgrade back to 7.1.2 since some apps I needed for school didn't work on O at all and also since I couldn't install any network certificates for my school network on O. (Rutgers) Also remember that themes and so Subs itself are​ pretty janky on O as it is still a preview.

These are themes that I've used and work on O for the most part: Swift Black (apps only), Orange Kitten, Mono art ( settings,apps and navbar only), Domination (apps only) System UI and Android System are especially janky right now. One theme that I found it to be mostly working on O was Android O accents by alIraqi. Check out this thread: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/theme-pixel-accent-android-o-t3613154
