Temes not applying

Hello!

I installed substratum last night and applied the swift for samsung theme, and it was perfect! it even darkened out the notification panel and notifications themselves, but then I wanted to tweak it a little bit because i didn't like how the text in the notifications was appearing. so i changed, but then i didn't like it so i returned to the initial swift theme but it didn't revert back to it... so I disabled all overlays rebooted, reenabled rebooted etc.. but then I couldn't enable any theme! If I enable and build a theme, it doesn't apply anything and everything is back to stock... wtf

Sorry for the long post

Has anyone noticed that when you organize and prioritize your layers that after saving the configuration the layers are not prioritized the way you saved them? The seem to re-prioritize themselves in a way you did not designate. Suggestions?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Stock Nougat is legacy, you'll need to make sure those themes are compatible. I'm assuming no

Is a bug, this is how I got around it. Arrange one at a time. Move to desired place then right back to original then save. It will be in desired place. I've reported it and it's being fixed.

Hi all, after digging around a bit I found this statement:

Hello, is anyone having the issue where apps on the external sd card in an adopted storage setup don't get themed even though they are shown as "up-to-date" and applied in substratum? I'm running LineageOS 14.1 on a galaxy s5, so RRO, running the "Swift Black" theme. All the apps that are on the internal storage are perfectly themed though. Could this be an issue with the theme or substratum?

Edit: Fixed it by moving substratum app to internal storage :P

That normally appears if your package name and folder structure are different

If the package name of YourTheme.apk is com.yourname.yourthemename in build.gradle, manifest etc.

your folder structure needs to be:

also in app/src/main/jni/LoadingProcess.c, all instances of substratum_theme_template need replacing with:

Without knowing exactly what you did and what overlays you tried to build and install, it's difficult to offer any real help.

Flash the rescue zip that's in the sdcard/substratum folder.

So I just switched to an OMS based rom (Resurrection Remix) just to see if it was an RRO/lineageOS issue, and while the themes not applying for apps on the external sd card is fixed, it still doesn't "stick" after a reboot. All overlays for apps on the sd card get removed/uninstalled automatically after a reboot. Is this supposed to happen? I need to retheme all those apps again after every reboot. System apps and internal storage apps work perfectly. I'm on a galaxy S5 G900F running resurrection remix 5.8.5.

[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
You selected "type3_Android_7_-_Samsung"

If you're on Samsung S8 SM-G950F 8.0.0 you selected the wrong type3

If not, it's a theme error - ask the themer via their playstore email address.
[prjkt.io] Sonalk:
The same theme has worked (same version) before and "android 7 Samsung" is the only choice.

I think when I enabled a corrupt overlay and after my system UI started crashing that this error started occurring. (I fixed the crashing)

And since I get the same error on every theme specifically on System UI overlays it couldn't be the theme.
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
You haven't said what theme you're trying to use but, if android 7 Samsung is the only option and you're on android 8 Samsung then that may be the problem.

Hey guys, I'm new to substratum and trying to apply a transparent theme and and it seems to almost work. The parts that should be transparent are black instead.

[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I have Samsung S8 using Sprite, Vickoria, Valerie, Swift Dark perfectly fine on Oreo. Just make sure you select correct options.

You'll need to apply android overlay, clear themes also need to be used only with clear themes otherwise it can break the transparency. Sprite theme and Valerie are awesome clear themes that work together. 19 theme also.
[prjkt.io] Sonalk:
Like I've stated multiple times before, the problem is not with the current theme and it's settings, the same error occurs on every theme when I enable it to system UI.
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
Have you tried uninstalling all of your overlays and then uninstalling & reinstalling the substratum app & your themes from the playstore?

Once you've done this select Android 8 - Samsung from the IMPORTANT menu at the top of the swift dark theme before selecting the overlays you want to build.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Well only thing that can cause this is themes not Substratum itself so you might be selecting wrong options or something. Get a log of the crash so we can better help. I haven't been keeping up with this issue so please calm down I'm trying to help you.

Hi bro, I have a problem after flashing the substratum rescue package, it give me a bootloop, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100,I flashed RR nougat and then installed substratum version nine hundred ninety two. I installed SwiftBlack theme and then I was too lazy to uninstall them with the app. I reboot to TWRP and flash the rescue package(the one that doesn't have legacy) and I ended up in a bootloop. If you need a link to the ROM I used, go here. Unforturnatly, I can't give you a logcat as I can't do anything in adb, I type the command, hit enter and it just stuck there, my SGS2 also has broken volume button.

If you look through the files of your device, there will be a file called "overlays.xml" find it, I personally don't know where it is because it's different for Samsung users, but delete that file and reboot

Yes using adb you can

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 the overlays

Hello there. I am using Moto Z2 Play, which is not rooted and bootloader is locked. I am using Substratum with andromeda adds-on. After setting up Flux White theme, I restarted my phone. After restart, I was tring to set installed theme. Unfortunatelly, my interface application crashed and I am now in some kind of "bootlop" mode - I am not able to do nothing with this phone - after rebooting I have got Interface problem error instantly and cannot pass it, even in safe mode.

So I am looking for a solution to disable or uninstall Flux theme (restore to stock) using adb or something else. Hard reset is not a good way for me now...

Please help with that!

Regards!

Edit.

I am trying to use:

adb sideload /storage/emulated/0/substratum/SubstratumRescue.zip

file, but file is not found on my device, or path is incorrect. I have this zip downloaded to my computer, but how to put it into my device now? I am able to run only recovery now (and all other stuff available in stock recovery).

Edit2:

I tryies to adb sideload above file from my pc folder, and update starts, but I have got an error while updating (in recovery from phone):

E:footer is wrong

Update package verification took 0.1 s (result 1).

E:Signature verification failed

E:error: 21

Been running a couple themes on Substratum/Andromeda on my phone for a few days. Recently purchased and installed SwiftBlack on my device, and now I'm having problems.

Getting Orange notifications with 'Enable Android System + Reboot' errors. Here's the biggest problem PLUGGING IN MY USB NOW DOESN'T GIVE ME THE OPTION TO CONNECT TO PC. It's defaulting to charge, and I'm not getting the prompt to put my phone in 'Photo Transfer' mode, which of course means Substratum won't let me remove my theme.

Currently on an LG v30 (H933) with Oreo 8.0.

Help is appreciated.

Update: Managed to get 'Photo Mode' to come back after several restarts, was able to restore, then try again.

Those adb options does not work for me. As I wrote before, I cannot connect to my phone by adb when it is turned on and message that "SystemUI has stopped working" appears. Windows did not see that device is connected.

From stock recovery, when "Load update from ADB" is on, I also cannot use eg. "adb shell" command - in this case I've got "error: closed" message.

Any other solutions? Or I've left with factory reseting from recovery?

I performed hard reset with clearing all data in recovery. My phone works ok now. But, any additional solutions may be helpfull for future :)

If you're using andromeda (no-rooted and no-unlocked device) you need to reboot your device after all building procedures to avoid this.

3. Restart device, connect with andromeda.

4. Set theme in theme manager.
