note 8, not rooted, t mobile, themes and everything were working great, and now, no themes work any longer; I uninstalled all themes/substratum/andromeda, and still themes wont fully install. I go through the process, overlays appear to install, but then the final overlay, usually substratum, takes a very long time to process, then the inevitable error message, and reading the logchar, its usally an overlay or 2 that are a problem. after rebooting and trying again

to install a theme, and skipping the "bad" overlay, still ends up with an error, and theme doesnt install or apply..

Using Substatum 997..

weird how things were fine for a long time, and just stopped working

thanks for any help!

PS, I posted this also in the subs instruction thread, so sorry if that bothers anyone...just miss my subs!!

Yeah I'm very "bothered" Wasey ?

Are you absolutely certain that you don't have any multiple overlays installed? There's a Rescue script that Swift has which does remove all Overlays - I don't know if you're familiar with it... Old bones in Arizona n all..

I'll post the link to it from my Drive - Download it to your computer - Extract the zip - And there's a "readme.txt" if you're finally running Windows & Ditched that old box - Just run the windows bat file - Hopefully you'll be back up & running (slowly lol ?) ?

you young whippersnappers need to show some respect for your elders..:eek:

yes, I am sure there are NO OTHER OVERLAYS installed

I ran your bat file, said "success", then tried to install one of my themes that has worked for ages, and the same error; it doesnt install any of the overlays..

I installed DJ's updated play store APK, and that didnt help either..

I guess its factory reset for me, if I want to get themes working again..

Hey Old Timer - There's not much between us in age - I don't know you recently got an OTA Update? But I have seen that there's some issues with some of the Security Patch updates that require a slightly different install? (Lord knows that you don't have much better to do than a Factory Reset ?)... But you might want to double check if there's any instructions for the Extra Large themes that you must be using, that are specifically for Note issues after a Security Patch update ?

[prjkt.io] wase4711:
I know bro, just bustin ya on your old age!

Still on May Security patch, so not likely the issue. I own at least 20 sub themes, and so far, cant get any of them to work all of a sudden, so not sure WTF is going on.. I've sent logchar to some of the themes dev's, so we'll see what happens.

For a long time when I first got this phone, wasnt able to use Subs theme's either, then, one day, they started to work just fine...that was the case for a few months, and now, a few days ago, they stopped working again..

Oh well, one way or another, I'll get them working!

Thanks for your help, much appreciated!:fingers-crossed::good:

Hi, I got a strange situation. Substratum 995, OnePlus5T rooted, AICP room. All was working perfect since months, then suddenly there is no way to build new overlays.

I can install / desinstal a theme, but none would work.

Once I select the theme... The app just...does nothing. See screenshots.
[prjkt.io] pierrep56:
What I can do ( following previous post) is enable my already build overlays from the manager tab.

But I can't build new overlays...

I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Need more info, are you using sungstratum if so you'll need to uninstall overlays first then install them.

You need to pick os you are using at the top of the overlay list.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

This sounds like Theme errors not subs, upload logchar and we can see. Usually logchar are theme related issues. Or possibly wrong item picked or not at all.

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

Looks like the theme just needs to be updated. By this log...many apps updated so just wait for theme updates.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

You need to update playstore to v10.7.19 from apk mirror Google broke the 2 previous ones.

[prjkt.io] wase4711:
just as an update, my problem was I was using a BETA version of Substratum, and evidentally, using that and the bad version of play store was gooning my stuff up; left the beta program, and installed the play store version you suggested Brian, and all is good now, running the Pink version of Sprite theme as we speak!

Here u go..... Sungatratum first time user no overlays ever installed. Tried pitch black with Samsung nougat option but none of them installed and crashed the app and when restarted the the complied I relays disappear as well for no reason. The main thing is I need a full gray system ui like in latest Oreo 8.1 but can't get that. Do I know any system ui tweaks to change the colour scheme

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

P.S sorrry for the late reply?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
First thing you need to do is read theme descriptions.

Pitch black didn't work on Samsung..see attachment.

Also you'll need a theme for nougat. Try Victory theme it works on Samsung nougat. Swift dark also works.

so, I wanted to start fresh on my unrooted note 8, after getting the weird "your system reloaded Substratum resources, the app will restart in 3 seconds" message every time I went into the manager tab in substratum, so I uninstalled all my themes, substratum, andromeda, all of it, rebooted to recovery, wiped my cache, and trying to start from a clean slate. Reinstalled Andromeda, and substratum, but, as before, when I open Substratum, and go into the "Manager" setting, just to make sure there are no random overlays still installed, the app crashes, I get the spinning wheel, saying "your system reloaded Substratum resources, the app will restart in 3 seconds"

what can I do to fix this weird behavior, and, is there another way to make sure ALL the left over overlays are gone?

I'm not rooted, so I cant get into the /system directory to check things out..

thanks!
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You have some stubborn overlays, use the adb commands to uninstall them

djdarkknight96:

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 name from the list

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

Note Android and Systemui are most common issues that would need this.

Adb uninstall overlay.names will uninstall them.

Hey guys! Lately I have been having bootloops when applying a theme to android system. I can not figure this one out because with a clean flash it all works perfect up until a certain point I'm not sure about. I am trying to find a solution and see if it is my ROM, something with my device, swiftblack, or substratum. I believe it is the ROM, but I could be wrong and would love some help. I will attach two logs from two different crashes. I have a ZTE Axon7 with AEX on 8.1 by the way. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks!
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You should report to theme dev, it's not a subs issue.

Hey guys, Im finally able to run Substratum on my Mi A1 device (unrooted) but my first venture into the world of themes is unlycky. Sofar i have tried a few Substratum themes and all of them are causing problems once compiling a theme and not everything works. Checked Default Dark Theme, BalticUI and DNA Project, all of them failing with most of the themes upon compiling. After restart only some of the parts of the UI work, for example Settings will be themed but Dialer wont (just an example). What is the reason? These 3 themes seem to be up to date.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Reason is themes don't support your device, you'll need to search for one that is made to work for it specifically for system apps. 3rd party apps should work on most themes but not all.

[Q] Multiple Themes

Hi. I am new here in substratum. Can I use multiple themes simultaneously? I'm already using SwiftBlack theme, I wanna try some free themes in the playstore for my status bar icons. Thanks in advance!
[prjkt.io] Chris_Kardas:
That's easily possible. Just apply Theme 1 without the status bar icons overlay, and on Theme 2 just the icons. Happy theming! ;)
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
Since Swift Black (and most other themes) don't have a System UI Status Bar Icons overlay, you'd need to use their System UI overlays instead which would change other resources too, not just the status bar icons.

The easiest way to get the look you want is to install a few System UI overlays and experiment with priority/enable/disable.

Hello, I had installed Substratum Theme Engine on a Ressurection Remix ROM for my redmi note 3 pro. I then bought a theme called "nineteen" which worked well. I switched to Omnirom and downloaded the same theme from the playstore. I can see it in Substratum's list but when I click on it nothing happens (the white background becomes gray but that's it). Is there anything I can do before asking a refund ? Note that I tried free items and they do load once I click on them and I can then compile and do whatever I want.

It just seems strange that this theme won't even show its customization options in Substratum despite being updated quite often.

Thanks in advance
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I think you have the bugged playstore update, go to apk mirror and install the new one. Let us know
[prjkt.io] JiggyJinjo:
I spent the whole night trying to fix it and it indeed only happens with paid themes. I completely wiped my phone reinstalled Omnirom and flashed the latest Gapps Aroma. However, I only saw this issue in Substratum, I can download and use other paid apps.

I'll try downloading playstore from apkmirror as you said thanks!

That's a theme issue - contact the theme dev via the email address for the theme on the playstore and give as much detail as possible.

I have not updated google dialer. It's a ported version
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
If your ported version of Google Dialer isn't based on the latest official Google dialer then it probably won't be compatible with com.google.android.dialer overlays as these will be theming resources in the newest release.
[prjkt.io] CristianPitt:
It was working perfectly until yesterday, that I updated the substratum and the themes. I just downloaded a newer version of google dialer, but the same error occurs :confused:
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
Looking at the error log you posted, your dialer is missing a style and numerous attributes in values/styles.xml which are present in the latest version of Google Dialer from the playstore.

If it was working yesterday with your old version of Google dialer, the theme must have been updated since you first installed it to reflect the new resources in the newest dialer version

Is the newer version of Google dialer you installed the latest from the playstore?

If not, it's still unlikely to be compatible.
[prjkt.io] CristianPitt:
It is version 20.0.198798071

June 10, 2018
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
So it's not the latest playstore version 21.0.202664640 (July 14)

You can't expect themers to support patched or old versions of apps - Google Phone gets updated almost weekly and Google love to change multiple resources in every release!
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
100% theme issues, contact theme devs.
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
Yes my thoughts initially but read on and it's probably not.
[prjkt.io] CristianPitt:
Finally I solved it. I applied the google framework module in magisk app, to install the latest version of google dialer. After that, I could apply both themes to google dialer.

So you were right, the problem was the Google dialer version and not the theme. Normally it happens the other way around, I update an application and the new version is not compatible with the theme.

Thank you very much Spannaa for your help ??

Oh man I do understand that frustration, I had this before and almost panicked. But it's not because it's fcing is something else causing it too not verify. You can long press the Substratum icon to "recover me" and rebuild the playstore overlay and if it builds you should be able to re-enable all your overlays safely.
