Hey guys,

maybe someone here can tell me more, when I'm trying to apply a bootanimation of whatever theme (pitch black origins, spectrum, boot for subs) all seems fine, Substratum says it got applied but when I reboot nothing has changed.. Can't find the error :)

Everything else works just great, fonts, navbar, sounds and overlays, just no bootanimations, details about substratum in screenshot

Log is here:

I'm using substratum latest build on my OnePlus one (bacon) running RR-N 17.4.17 build, CompactUI theme applied. I'm not able to restore the stock theme no matter what. Please help me out.

Thanks

[prjkt.io] Char_G:
Are you encrypted? Did you dirty flash a ROM update with a theme installed?
[prjkt.io] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah, I always flash my Rom updates with themes installed, never heard of it to cause issues, never experienced any flaws (yet?), no encryption on my device...
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
You should always disable all themes before dirty flashing an update, you can try flashing the rescue zip but you'll probably have to clean flash to fix it.
[prjkt.io] Sam Nakamura:
OK, thanks..

Didn't knew about this, wouldn't come to my mind and probably overlooked it in FAQ's :) I actually never had issues with this and I would regard this as minor issue only, but disabling is enough, no need to uninstall all overlays?

Does restoring a profile work for you, last time I tried I had no luck, it was just processing eternally... with no result

Thanks for your pointers, it's appreciated

Edit: if I apply a bootanimation it gets placed /data/system/theme, it still can be copied from there and placed manually to /system/media (after renaming the original bootanimation.zip1, just as workaround..
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
I don't use profiles​, I can't help with that one. :)
[prjkt.io] MSF Jarvis:
Profiles work just fine, I've tested them thoroughly. As far as your bootanimation woes are concerned, it is almost definitely an SELinux issue. Try checking with your ROM Dev if they have this commit merged :)
[prjkt.io] nicesoni_ash:
Thanks for the link, I'll add it soon. Any thoughts on how I am still able to change bootanimations through substratum even though I don't have this commit merged?

Hello, I'm kinda new to substratum themes,

So I changed my Moto G(2013) font and the lockscreen clock text is cropped from a side. Anyway to fix this? Help appreciated :)

I'm on AospExtended 4.1
[prjkt.io] MSF Jarvis:
Use a different font
[prjkt.io] alkeshgamer:
I've tried a few fonts, but this issue occurs in almost all of them.

Now I know a solution to this maybe using regular style rather than italic, but that's about customization.

I wonder why this is happening.
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
Have you tried changing the wallpaper, and then do a cache wipe?
[prjkt.io] alkeshgamer:
I'll try the cache wipe, but I don't think wallpaper is the issue, it only occurs for some specific long italic text like ending with 9
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
It's a font issue, not a Substratum problem.

I rebooted my system UI and still nothing has changed. Any thoughts?

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

There's a reason for that, you need a Substratum compatible ROM, your "stock Lollipop" isn't going to work (root or no root). You need a custom ROM with the appropriate commits (6.X plus). You need to look at CMTE, again, custom CM/LOS based ROM, with your current situation :good:
[prjkt.io] MSF Jarvis:
Substratum 603? PLEASE tell me what was a typo
[prjkt.io] neeraj121y:
I want no root version.
[prjkt.io] nathanchance:
Flash a custom ROM that supports rootless then.
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
Flash the rescue zip as well as uninstalling and reinstalling, and wiping Subs cache and data to get a fresh start. Also never update your ROM with a theme enabled, always disable it first.

[prjkt.io] Daman5202:
Hello, im facing a problem with a bootanimation applied from substratum made by "3volve". i applied 'Radiate' bootanimation and now my phone is soft bricked, whenever i bootup, "radiate" bootanimation lags very much (1-2 fps) and then device goes back to boot logo then again that boot animation lags , its happening again and again! I can access TWRP, I flashed rescue zip, but since its a bootanimation, no luck. I deleted bootanimation.zip from system/media , but phone still boots up with that animation, how can i delete a bootanimation applied from substratum? Or is there any other way to recover from that?

Device: condor

ROM: Aosp Extended v4.1

Android version: 7.1.2

Substratum version: 7xx Rootless
[prjkt.io] Skull97:
Dirty flash rom. If it still there, then wipe system and flash rom again and whatever you like.
[prjkt.io] Daman5202:
how about flashing a different boot animation zip through twrp? Will it work?
[prjkt.io] nicesoni_ash:
That bootanimation should be in data/system/theme probably. Not sure if deleting that will help in your case but you can try.

Sent from my "1+2" powered by Unofficial RR 7.x.x

Compiled by myself
[prjkt.io] MSF Jarvis:
It will not. The code is written to prioritize the themed bootanimation over the system one. Remove the /data/system/theme/bootanimation.zip and reboot to remove the bootanimation, or just use the recovery function within substratum.
[prjkt.io] Daman5202:
will my device bootup normally if i have no bootanimation installed? Cause i removed boot anim in system/media too(default one)!

Hi, i just installed this for the first time and need your help.

How do i change accent colors in themes? I installed few themes.. I'm able to apply themes but how to change accent colors? There is something like default:solid but I'm not able to figure out how to change this solid color.
[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
You can only change the accent colour if the themer has built the option into the theme. Not all of themes have this option.

If it's built in, there'll be a drop down for accent colour in the Android System overlay section showing the different choices.

This software is very buggy; every time I use it I have problems. Installed a theme in Lineage 14.1 (no OMS), rebooted and now having bootloop; I've flashed SubstratumRescue_Legacy.zip and also SubstratumRescue_OMS.zip (just for try it) but logcat says that someone is looking for a theme in /vendor/overlay/android.ModernUI.apk (even if the folder not exists).

How can I solve without losing data?

Thank you.

Substratum isn't "buggy" - Flash a Rom with OMS7 support ;)
[prjkt.io] kaustubh.sarkar:
Presently I'm using an oms supported ROM (resurrection remix) and having no issues, but previously i used Lineage OS and whenever i tried flashing the rescue zip it gives an error 255 (even on resurrection remix).

I'm using Zenfone 2 z00a.
[prjkt.io] nathanchance:
Did you read the Play Store description...?

"Is Substratum officially supported on Stock Nougat/CM14.1/LineageOS? No, please use at your own discretion!"

So no, it isn't "buggy", you didn't heed our warning. You can try removing your /vendor/overlay folder but if that doesn't work, clean flash it is.

Pull a recovery log.
[prjkt.io] syntesys:
It' my fault and sorry, but I expect that a rescue file will ALWAYS rescue from a soft brick. Why does removing a theme cause this?

I tried flashing rescue, removing /vendor/overlay and nothing, tried removing substratum settings, removing theme apk, but only clean flash worked.

Thank you for support.
[prjkt.io] MSF Jarvis:
It's simply how RRO2 works. You need to get rid of all idmap files from /data/resource-cache/ to fix the bootloop.

Does your phone need themeing? Have you ever used your phone at night and thus lost your vision?

Well look no further! With substratum themes (sponsored by 7/11™) you'll be able to get away from the white and make your phone look like you want!

Themes like Swift Dark, Swift Black, Compound, Mono Art and many more are available! Go to your nearest Play Store NOW.

[MENTION=5213564]Char_G[/MENTION]: I used to rarely use my phone. I even hated using my phone. Does it have to be so white? And then came substratum. Now with substratum, I use my phone 25 hours a day!

You need an OMS supported ROM, [MENTION=5213564]Char_G[/MENTION] posted a list, only a few posts back, that has all ROMs (that have submitted to Subs Team, that is) that support. Straight LineageOS, does NOT support Substratum/OMS, there are LOS based ROMs that do support it, but not LOS itself...
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
Unfortunately, unless the Lineage team decides to merge the necessary OMS commits to support Substratum, we're not going to be able to provide support for users of official LOS builds. Check your device forum to see if there's an unofficial build with OMS or check the supported OMS ROM list. I know it's frustrating, I wish I had better news

Is it true substratum has the biggest potential of injecting malwares unto our phone coz its compiling everything inside the systemless zone, which is a place that cant be protected by the software?
[prjkt.io] SixFourSix:
What about all the ROMs and kernels and zips made by random people on the internet? ?
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
No - The biggest source of Malware is from shady apks that people install from places other than the Store and questionable websites that they visit.
[prjkt.io] Ja_som:
If you have a issue with theme, you should contact developer of that theme,and send him complete error...

You update LOS normally (OTA or flashing full zip file) and then you apply your theme in Substratum.
[prjkt.io] Magz Heaven:
You've made a good point. Lels So what's the use of the security patches anyway?

[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
I think that if you're Flashing Roms / Kernels / Gapps and Using Themes such as Substratum from Recognized Developers - Recognized Themers etc you are safe - It's some people who are looking to cheat the system by using apps like lu**y p****er and trying to get Donate / Paid or Pro Apps for free - In which case they probably deserve to deal with the Malware that they "invited" on to their Devices.

[prjkt.io] Deadsayer:
So I'm having this weird issue with any ROM I flash where Substratum themes install without a hitch but nothing gets themed. I spent $2 on the Swift Black theme and in the Superman ROM it applies and then requires me to reboot (which I understand is not supposed to happen with Substratum) and then when the phone boots back up, nothing is themed. In Slimrom it gives me different options, to "build and enable" the theme which is more like what Substratum is supposed to do. It does so without a problem and says build successful. It doesn't require a reboot but the Swift Black dev team recommends rebooting anyway, so I did that. When the phone booted back up again, still nothing themed. Swift Black isn't the only theme I had a problem with, either.

What am I doing wrong? Both of those ROMs support Substratum, I just can't make it work.

Substratum crash at start

As the title says, my substratum crashes immediatly at start. I've completely uninstalled the app, rebooted, reinstalled the app, re-rebooted and it still crashes.

Question: Since I'm totally in the 'dark' with Substratum, is there any way to open an app without getting the bright white flash as it opens? For example, if I open hangouts and hangouts isn't in priority RAM, it flashes white as it loads, before my dark theme kicks in.

Not a huge issue, but kind of annoying when I'm in dark mode and I get that bright white blank screen when firing up a dark themed app. TU!

[prjkt.io] Spannaa:
Not quite - like it says at the bottom of your screenshot, you need to migrate the project to Gradle.

The easy way to setup a theme project:

Go to: https://github.com/substratum/template

Click the Clone or download button

Select Download ZIP

Extract the template-master folder

Rename the template-master folder to your-theme-name

Open Android Studio

Select Open an existing Android Studio project

Select the your-theme-name folder

Click OK

Wait for the project to build

Done ;)
