I'm just wondering if it's possible to to add "Yes to All" when you uninstall Substratum Themes on Galxay S8+ instead of having to Click "ok" for each Layer?

I'm guessing that it's probably not possible because of something to do with Samsung devices... But I thought that I'd ask ?

I've got another question - Is it possible to Backup the installed Layers on a Samsung S8+ running the Substratum Samsung Addon? Unrooted Stock.

[prjkt.io] eelsid:
If you're running in root mode this happens automatically in the background. If unrooted you may be able to do this with Tasker but I'm not sure how advanced that would need to be.
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Yeah I just edited my post - After reading it again I think that I wasn't very clear - I'm not sure but I think that you might be able to Restore the installed Layers without Root - I can see in Substratum there is a Recovery option - But I don't see where you might be able to backup the installed Layers?

Just to add to the confusion (for me at least lol) I've got a few devices most are Rooted so I get different options between them.

If you use Titanium Backup you can back these up there. Each overlay is listed as a regular app. You will see the theme pack name in the app name.
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Yeah I guess that you missed the part of this phone not having Root - That's the problem ?

Sent from my SM-G955W ??
[prjkt.io] eelsid:
Ahh good point! Do they show up in Smart Switch? I've akways just skipped backing up overlays, just reinstalled the theme pack and applied manually.
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
I haven't looked at Smart Switch yet.

Edit: So I did a backup with Smart Switch - But it's ~1.6 Gig and I'm thinking that it's going to be a little impractical to just restore Substratum Apps & Settings...

Looks like Smart Switch is a decent way to Backup your Device - But it's not quite the same as TB or if the option to Backup & Restore was possible / available in the Samsung Substratum Addon App.

I got a rooted Marshmallow samsung phone but no custom rom. Will I be able to install substratum without installing a substraum enabled rom? If so, how? I got MM... will I still be able to install these themes?
[prjkt.io] lahceneamine:
Please sir, after a clean install of my rom, i'm trying to install back the addon but it asks me to pay again.

Is there anything that you can do ?

I'm using the same and only one account.
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Sometimes Google Play Store is a little slow to catch up with a Clean Flash You can try this - Reboot your phone - and see if Substratum Addon is showing Purchased - If not - Clear Play Store Cache and Data - Check again - If not - Uninstall your email address from your device (reboot optional) Add your email address back in & Check - If none of these work - Contact Google Play Store Support & Have your Proof of Purchase ready ?

Sent from my SM-G955W ??
[prjkt.io] lahceneamine:
I'm contacting them, since I've already tried all of the above suggestions.

Thank you my friend :)

Edit :

they asked me to contact the devs by mail to "projekt.developers@gmail.com"

In my experience purchases don't show as paid for until you update Google Play Services.
[prjkt.io] lahceneamine:
Gonna try that, cause it seems that all my paid apps are asking me to buy them again XD
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Play Services are normally updated automatically..... Especially when you Flash a new Rom - If you're using Hangouts for example - You'll get a Notification that Hangouts will not run until you Update Play Services... So that shouldn't be an issue for most people ?

Yes, what everyone said above is correct, emailing us will not make a difference because we do not manually screw around and refund orders :P

Didn't want to refund (hell no XD)

I've managed to get it back by doing another clean flash.

Hi guys. I bought Substratum for Samsung J7 7.0

Is there any tutorial to help "how use"?

I dont know how get full dark Theme (all apps, system, etc)

I installed some themes but not fully dark.

Thanks for attention.
[prjkt.io] kyzn:
It's pretty straight forward. Choose a theme and apply. No theme will completely turn your phone dark though. Some have better support than others.

Even with the Nexus and Pixel phones can't be fully themed.
[prjkt.io] Char_G:
Make sure you use themes that support Samsung, and check out this video for instructions https://youtu.be/ay1a6sofa0M

You can also check this G+ community for supported themes and other Subs mods https://plus.google.com/communities/105677488842147922279

I regularly backup and restore apps via Titanium backup and during a restore process, the app sungstratum I purchased for some reason restores, but does not function correctly. So I have to uninstall it and it wont. So I remove it with titanium backup and for some reason it shows on the play store I haven't paid for it and when I try and pay again, it gets declined every time.

I used my other google account to purchase it again and it works fine. Anyone have an idea? Thanks

[prjkt.io] Volckius:
Hi there, I was thinking of this and was hoping you guys could make it possible, thank you in advance! :

As I've heard some stock Samsung devices, running Nougat can utilise Samsung themes to use Substratum in legacy mode, I was all exited until I saw you had to be running Nougat, my problem is the device I'm using, which runs on Marshmallow hasn't gotten to Nougat update yet but it has Samsung themes, is there any way you can make the Samsung add-on work on Marshmallow for this device? It's the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017), Thank you!
[prjkt.io] potyqa:
If you want nougat you can flash it since it's already available for this phone. Look here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a3/SM-A320FL/ and here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a3/SM-A320F/. Just check which model you have in settings>about phone, choose your country, download the firmware and flash it with odin.
[prjkt.io] Volckius:
Yeah I always thought of doing that, won't void my warranty will it? I've used Odin before but just for rooting different devices
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Warranty depends on the Country you're living in and what the Laws are there - North America & you'll likely lose your Warranty (if they can get the phone to Boot and check ;)) Europe and you're probably OK as far as Warranty is coming.. But check first ?

So far I got that it shouldn't void the warranty and it should be covered but I'm still cautious, I'd love to walk into one of the shops that sell smartphones but I'm afraid that they'll give me a dirty look if I ask if it will void my warranty. Any ideas?
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Yeah I don't live in Europe - But the guys at a store aren't really likely to know (who cares if they give you a dirty look) I'd just call Samsung & Ask Them - Even better - Get on to their Support Chat and get it in writing ?

[prjkt.io] Namolas:
Android prevents you from tapping the install button when there are any overlays present on the screen, Chat bubbles, floating toolbars etc.

Do you happen to use Muviz - Navbar Music Visualizer or anything? You can disable Muviz in landscape (as I have done) and perhaps a similar situation is why you can tap install in landscape.

I tried theme killer as well, eventhough it says, keys successfully activated, its not able to deactivate samsung theme service.

You don't need theme killer to use Swift themes from the play store

Do you have the Samsung Substratum Addon installed on your Device?

Are you using Samsung Substratum Themes - ie Swift Black and Dark Substratum Theme? (Compatibility with Stock Samsung is in the Theme's Title or Description).

If you want to Disable the Stock Samsung Themes you can use BK Disabler from the Store (that also allows you disable the Stock Samsung Bloat) ?

If you factory reset, wouldn't matter since that will wipe your phone back to Stock, now if you was to get a OTA Update, then you would first uninstall all overlayers from Substratum , then proceed with your OTA Update!

So there is a separate new Oreo app you have to buy to use Substratum on Oreo?

Is there going to be a new charge every software version update?

Would be nice to have known that ahead of time. Especially if you just bought the Nougat app.
[prjkt.io] partcyborg:
It's been basically leaked for less than 24h and you think there is support already?

It will use Andromeda, but it will NOT work out of the box, and last I heard some devs said aren't going to drop everything and push full steam on it, as Samsung essentially contributes huge numbers of very novice users and naturally doesn't contribute support (as opposed to their original users who all ran custom roms and therefore at least had some basic understanding) Be prepared to wait a little while. Given that the full release won't happen until 2018, my own *personal* guestimate is sometime after that happens.
[prjkt.io] HighOnLinux:
Yeah would of been nice knowing that ahead of time
[prjkt.io] ShrekOpher:
I'm not looking for immediate support, just wondering if it will be an upgrade to the current app or a new $2 app you have to buy again.
[prjkt.io] partcyborg:
Sungstratum will not be updated to support Oreo. It's fundamentally different than what is needed in Oreo and the functionality is already there in Andromeda.

$2 is incredibly cheap for the amount of hands on support you will get from the devs on telegram and elsewhere.
[prjkt.io] robbiekhan:
With the new addon, it says you have to connect it to ADB after every reboot. I haven't read the whole thread, but will this continue to be the case? I was under the impression that Oreo supported themes natively,. so why all the extra faff?
[prjkt.io] Reechings:
Oh man, maybe I have to pay another $2? What a scam! I can't believe that I have to pay so much for an amazing app and system that let's me make my phone look awesome without root.

But seriously I don't know if I will be able to even have root on Oreo on my phone so I'm praying that substratum or Andromeda or whatever it is called is available. It's worth way more than $2 to me.
[prjkt.io] The Root:
It's weird, yesterday I had to plug it in to make changes. Today I haven't had to.
[prjkt.io] idahoprime:
Ever since the updates yesterday, about half of my themes are missing from the app. When i go to the Manager, I can still see the overlays from those themes applied, but not those theme packs anymore. Anyone else seeing this? Or are that many of the packs I was using really considered unsafe or something now?
[prjkt.io] twiice:
Since updating, and after applying overlays I'm getting the message "Running on the resource runtime overlay system" and that I have to reboot. Earlier I never got this message and the themes would install one-by-one, now they don't show as installed in the Substratum app until after I reboot, however no apps are themed at all.

It seems broken, any ideas?

I have the latest Substratum and Samsung integration installed.

EDIT: Nevermind, it seems to be a theme problem, Swift Black wouldn't work anymore, but Swift S8 pack works now.

I'd still like to know what that means though "Running on the resource runtime overlay system"
[prjkt.io] ShrekOpher:
It's not about the money (however I'm sure $2 is more for some people especially outside the USA) it's about communicating to customers. I have tons of purchased apps NONE of the rest of them are making me buy it again for the Oreo update. Even Substratum paid themes already have Oreo support without having to re-purchase.

If it's not communicated why it has to be a new app and why it should be paid for again it just comes off bad. To most users who don't know anything about programming it looks like a money grab.

Also if it's going to cost $2 a year (Android update cycle) then that should be communicated.
[prjkt.io] Thozel:
Exactly this. It was "advertised" as a one-time purchase unlock, if it suddenly turns into a subscription service people will feel cheated.

Hello. I'm on sungstratum, and before new updates, I've installed "LockClean", it was perfectly working. Now when I try to install it from playstore, substratum automaticaly delete it.

[prjkt.io] Mofojones333:
Using stock android 7.0 on Galaxy s6, which version of android do I select when opening ex. Oxygen, Lineage, OSM etc.. If it's stock which one is it?
[prjkt.io] partcyborg:
It's not at all like a subscription service. So subscription service requires you keep paying for the app to keep working at all. Sungstratum will continue to function on Samsung nougat forever.

If anything it's like an app that charges for new versions, but that's not even true, as sungstratum and Andromeda share essentially no code whatsoever (I'm sure there are some base libs but I mean the functionality). If anything this is an issue caused by Samsung branching from AOSP and reimplementing everything their own way all the time. So every app purchase is a guaranteed lifetime upgrade contract? If google rewrote android in a new language with new apis for 9.0 you would demand every app developer recode from scratch and eat the entire cost?

If $2 every few years is too much for someone to afford well I question their ability to aford a $800+ device but they don't have to use themes and don't have to upgrade away from 7.x

Crap

I'm running the Oreo beta and managed to screw something up. I flashed the Samsung status bar icons through Substratum and then rebooted the phone, it rebooted like normal, came to the AOD screen like normal but when I unlock the phone the screen is completely black. The only thing visible is the edge bar, I can swipe it out and use it like normal but I can't do anything else. When I plug the phone into my PC I can still see everything in storage like normal. Is there anything I can do to remove Substratum, I tried side-loading the recovery.zip and that doesn't work since I'm on the stock ROM. I tried to do an ADB backup but it gets to a part where it says to acknowledge the onscreen prompt to start the backup, of course I can't do that so it doesn't work. Thanks for the help.
[prjkt.io] shaggyskunk:
Unless someone else has a better idea - I'd be thinking that you might have to Factory Reset?
