Anyone else having trouble with Google Search with the latest Substratum/Swift Dark. Im running it on my S8+

Even if I don't select Google quick search it gets themed.

And no cards are shown.

All other Google apps are working fine
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Open Substratum and go to Manager (Hamburger Menu top left) and verify that you don't have any other Themes applied to Google Search - There's no issues here ?

[prjkt.io] HighOnLinux:
Agreed. Had that issue before over on nougat where the System UI kept crashing. Was forced to do a factory reset
[prjkt.io] potyqa:
So legacy themes shouldn't work or may not work? Because any legacy theme that I install doesn't show up in substratum. When I install one I get a notification saying "Themer rejected theme installed on Samsung"
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
you have to have the SungStratum app (from the store) installed on your Stock Samsung Firmware - Then you will be able to use any of the Samsung Substratum Themes ?

Its not swift black specifically--it's where i have to pay $2 again for the oreo add-on and i cant really get it at the moment might get it soon as in weeks but i miss it a lot made my phone look awesome
[prjkt.io] papasmurf879:
Everyone Jump in correct me if I'm wrong the only reason to buy the Oreo add-on is if you're not rooted right. If you're not rooted I'd strongly recommended not using substratum at all its nothing personal its just there's never been more issue that occur since I started using it which is fine I like figuring **** out. I got a Samsung smt350 that I was able to theme with Samsung add-on and swift black before anyone else did why not its all 8.5 Samsung but if I had to flash stock firmware every time a error happened I'd say f*** it. Lol
[prjkt.io] potyqa:
I have applied systemui overlay and after I restart I get systemui has stopped and I cannot get into my phone. I cannot uninstall the overlay through adb because I can't authorize it. Will i have to reset? It's very urgent please
[prjkt.io] papasmurf879:
I don't own your device but on my tablet there's times were the system ui crashes after I themed it and it goes black the only way to fix it was to restore my twrp backup. Can I ask is you're kernel enforcing I have a theory that Samsung enforcing kernels block system change from happing easily. It doesn't happen to everything but system apps themes whatever won't uninstall no matter what some times. I'm really trying to figure out why.

To say what no one else will know one really knows to much its all new to everyone. My guess yes you'll have to restore it.
[prjkt.io] potyqa:
I have the sungstratum app and I'm having a great time with Swift. I'm just asking if I can apply themes made for substratum legacy on my samsung.(I know I shouldn't theme system apps like systemui) For example I want to theme PlayStore or Youtube with an overlay made for substratum legacy

[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Once you're in Safe Mode you should be able to get to Settings - Apps and then delete the Overlays from there - If you can't - Your only option is to Factory Reset from the stock Recovery - I realize that it's after the horse has left the barn - But there are plenty of warnings to Uninstall the Overlays BEFORE you apply an OTA ??

[prjkt.io] roseyhead:
How do I install an earlier version of Sungstratum? It keeps rejecting a theme I know is safe. I've been able to roll back the main Substratum apk (which hasn't resolved it) but I haven't had luck finding older versions of Sungstratum, probably because it's a paid apk.
[prjkt.io] partcyborg:
Get substratum from Apkmirror. Earlier than 901 is ok. There's where the check is brokenly implemented
[prjkt.io] roseyhead:
APKMirror has the main Substratum package but not the Samsung integration package, which seems to be what's causing this. I went back as far as 831 and still couldn't use this theme.
[prjkt.io] partcyborg:
It's the substratum app that's causing it, not sungstratum.

I'm literally looking at fixing the bug
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
What Theme do you "know is safe"?

Sent from my SM-G955W ??
[prjkt.io] roseyhead:
Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I uninstalled Substratum from the play store and tried both 854 and 831 and this theme wasn't available in either. Should I think about uninstalling my other overlays and rebooting my phone before installing an older version?

It's a custom navbar button pack. I was using it for a few months without issues before I disabled it in Substratum for a system update only to find out I couldn't re-enable it afterwards. I just got my phone back from a screen repair today and they factory reset it as part of their process so I figured now's a good time to try and get this fixed.
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
It's quite possible that you were lucky before with that Theme & Substratum is "saving" you from System UI issues ?

[prjkt.io] roseyhead:
Certainly possible but I'm willing to take my chances with it ;)
[prjkt.io] Tanak Vagu Avantang:
So Samsung just pushed an update today and it messed up substratum. I got constant 'Ui has stopped'. I cant even use my S8. Try this -

1. Call Bixby and say this command.

"Activate max battery saver mode"

2. System ui will change and substratum effect will no longer work. Now deactivate battery saver mode to normal. Now you can access your phone and remove the culprit.

3. I simply remove all swift s8 overlays at Substratum and reboot. Voila no error.
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
Everyone should know this already, If and OTA shows up before you take the OTA Update you need to go to Substratum settings top left corner hit manage and uninstall all the overlayers in there then take the OTA Update and no SystemUi FC after OTA Update, Then you can install all your overlayers, I do this all the time and everthing works with no issues!
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Yup it's been posted on most (if not all) Substratum Themes as well as Telegram - It's also wise to turn OFF the Automatic Install of OTA updates - Settings - Software Update - Scheduled Updates ?

[MENTION=3605033]nicholaschum[/MENTION] :

May I suggest something ?

Since I miss Unicon module (the dev won't update it anymore), I've recently tried an app which uses Samsung Theme Engin to apply icons packs of your choice over all the TouchWiz interface (and system wide).

Can't we implement it in substratum ? That way we won't have to use a third party launcher nor xposed or any root software.

PS : I don't know if i'm authorized to give a link for the app i'm talking about so I didn't put it.

The way that Samsung applies icon packs is very different from how substratum applies overlays.

alright, thanks for the help.

Last question though, does this mean i lose system wide icons? for example, i use the pixelize icon pack on the samsung theme store that themes icons system wide. Does substratum have the ability to do that?

Or should i not use a theme from the store and just use icons.

Uninstall and reinstall both Substratum and the Samsung Add-on and reinstall both from the play store.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

If you're using a Samsung theme from the Samsung store, you can use Substratum to theme your Google and third party apps. Just apply the Samsung theme first and then the Substratum theme, and if you change your Samsung theme, you will have to reenable the Subs theme as the Samsung theme will disable it. You only have to disable Samsung themes if you're using a theme downloaded from XDA.

Hi.

Does anyone having an issue, where some overlays (working correctly otherwise) are not applied after a reboot?

Using Swift Minimal black with SM-950F rooted - on EchoeROM (November security patch).

Substartum - V914, Sungstratum - V36.

I noticed this with Translate and Keep (both Google) - I apply them and work fine, but after reboot they are back to white - substratum shows them as UP-TO-DATE.

If I apply them in substratum again, they are working fine (until reboot).

[prjkt.io] HighOnLinux:
Read through a couple of pages and only one person had a problem similar to mine:

So i guess substratum updated and i finally wanted to retheme my whole S8 with swift black, turns out, it was the legacy app but fairly enough before the update, it wasnt considered "legacy". Anyways, so the first sign of something odd was the app running extremely slow and laggy. I just shrugged it off and just continued to toggle the theme to install certain things, specifically for user apps, nada system. So after everything was built and overlayed, it said there were no problems and to reboot my phone, so i did as instructed. So after when my phone rebooted, it's pure black. No lock screen, no anything, only the AOD. When i tried to see a way to get through that, which was emergency mode and to agree to it, it kept on saying "system UI keeps crashing". :/ so i was forced to factory reset via recovery. Any way to fix it with everything updated?
