You can now apply AOSP stock Android system UI and Settings theme via Substratum without root. Just choose the "Samsung S8 AOSP" variant and you're good to go.

Finally, a stock Android theme solution without root, navbar buttons go AOSP too.

Also, if you've got a Samsung Theme Store theme applied, go back to the stock theme, because the phone app dialpad loses the cool look and animation if you're using a fan made theme off the Samsung Theme Store.
[prjkt.io] eazykiell:
Any bugs etc? Im afraid to apply it ?

No problems here on S8+ sim free :)

Also, the navbar colour option for a black background is back with this!

How's battery life ? And what Device you using ?
[prjkt.io] RockyAJ:
I saw the s8 aosp but is that for custom roms? Or unrooted stock s8 + can apply too?
[prjkt.io] robbiekhan:
Ignore the naming, it doesn't mean you need to be on a custom or AOSP ROM to apply it, it means you get AOSP style icons and navbar on a stock S8. I am not rooted and running stock.
[prjkt.io] sparky2029:
I wish I can get quick settings that looked like that on my s8
[prjkt.io] suaverc118:
Will y'all able to get notifications to be black too eventually? Or is that something not theme able? I can use an overlay, but I think it messes with my black wallpapers, because I get a greyish tint at the status bar. This is with an overlay I was testing out because I didn't like the white notifications

Should I uninstall my overlays first?
[prjkt.io] dandan2980:
I uninstalled all the overlays I had prior to applying the new ones. It'll be a clean install of the new theme style. I was using swift black S8 and switched over to the S8 aosp looks badass. I just would go into your apps in settings and manually uninstall the overlays
[prjkt.io] poompk:
Edit: I risked experimenting around and got dark navbar to work since Swift Black/Swift Dark now fully supports the S8.

However, I still have questions about OTA updates. Since I am applying Substratum on SystemUI, what do I need to do once there's a system OTA update? Do I need to disable whatever theme I had first, apply the update, and re-enable it? Or else it would crash? Or I don't need to disable first but just need to re-apply after the update is done? Any advice highly appreciated!!

Guys, I am using Substratum for quite some time now and really enjoying the overlays.

Can any one suggest some apks to theme contacts, gallery, messages.

I have tried swift black/dark, pitch black, black stock but none of them is working for me.

With Black stock apk, I have themed settings and sysytem UI but I also really want to theme contacts, messages and gallery too.

Using Samsung A7 Nougat 7.0 custom rom .

I forgot to uninstall any overlay when i got the latest ota update roll out. So i had hit install forgetting i had any overlays through substratum. Phone rebooted normally and everything was working perfect

[prjkt.io] anas mohamed:

[prjkt.io] poompk:
Thanks! But those were overlays for your normal non-system apps right? Or were there overlays for System/SystemUI too and it worked just fine? Did you have to reapply or were they still themed after OTA?

I guess the rule of thumb is still to disable before OTA to be safe?
[prjkt.io] eazykiell:

Anyone able to theme Google maps?

I tried to apply swift black but nothing gets themed except the splash screen
[prjkt.io] Anastayja:
I usually have to apply it twice or so in Substratum and then reboot. After that it should work.
[prjkt.io] paolo200:
I applied it three times but still remains white. All other apps apply immediately even without reboot
[prjkt.io] Anastayja:
You should reboot. My maps looks like this:
[prjkt.io] paolo200:

[prjkt.io] Anastayja:
It looks like we may have the same version. Did you have any other overlays installed? You could try uninstalling all overlays and then install them again. Not sure what else you could try other than that.

No need to uninstall unless you installed overlays for system apps like phone and messaging

[prjkt.io] paolo200:
That's weird. I thought apps in the play store are always stable ones

Anyway. I read from the Team Blackout thread that Google maps is no longer themable so I guess that is why
[prjkt.io] Bobthahog:
I said a few posts back that I was wrong. It was the same version I had installed also and it's the 1 on the Play store. I just didn't realize maps had updated. But mine themes just fine.

[prjkt.io] Archangel:
Due to the fact that this is a server side update and out of our control it will probably revert back to black text. What I did was uninstall updates for Google App and then made sure to not update to the latest Google App. Did this last week and it has still been fine.

Hello. I'm new to Substratum, so this may be obvious to others, but looking at this thread didn't answer my question (at least in terms that were obvious to me ?). I came here because the new Swype Row, formerly Xposed module, uses Substratum.

Device is a rooted Samsung Tab S3.

When I first open Substratum, it gives me the notice page that I need the Samsung add-on. So, here I am. Since the main app insists that I load the add-on, my guess is that it is necessary. But the description suggests it is to allow Substratum to run on Samsung devices that are NOT rooted. Did I need it for a rooted Samsung?

[prjkt.io] CAL7:
Hello and thanks for this integration. I'm totally new to theming and Substratum and having some real startup issues. I started down this path to get the theme for just one app, SwypeRow for Swype. I've posted my problem in the SwypeRow thread, but now I think the problem is not isolated to that app or theme. Or, it could be that I just don't understand how to use Substratum.

It's a Samsung Tab S3, Nougat 7.0 rooted, Substratum 815 + Samsung add-on.

Any theme I try to install (e.g. SwypeRow, Greyce) gives a notification of "Theme compilation has completed / No errors while installing any overlays", but also gives the error "The package conflicts with a package of the same name" and does not install.

I saw some similar reports earlier in this thread with a recommendation to uninstall and wipe cache from recovery. I did that and reinstalled Substratum and the Samsung add-on, but with the same result.

Am I doing something basically wrong?

Is there a, hopefully free, best-case theme you can recommend to verify basic operation?

I don't see a logging option. Is there some further diagnostic procedure I can try?

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: P.S. One other observation. I tried to install one Greyce overlay, which failed. But, it did then allow me to uninstall that overlay. A subsequent install still fails with the same "conflicts" error.

[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
I'm not sure. Have you tried uninstalling the overlays that were "conflicting"?
[prjkt.io] CAL7:
Yes, several different ways.

I've uninstalled the target app (Swype) and Substratum and the Samsung add-on. When re-installed, it still reports "conflicts with a package of the same name".

Tried the same, plus re-booted to recovery to wipe cache/art/dalvik to start over. At the first attempt to put in any theme (can either be the Swype theme or "Greyce" - picked Greyce at random just to test), it gives the "conflicts" error.

Testing with the Greyce theme, I go through the installation until the end when it shows the "conflicts" error. Then, it does allow me to uninstall it, as if it had properly installed; but even though it reports uninstalled, it won't install. Same error.

I really want to get this to work, so I'll help any way I can to figure it out. Thanks!!
[prjkt.io] lumikin:
Still a bit buggy on S7, overlays seem to work for a bit then stop suddenly. Reinstall+reboot sometimes fixes the issue.
[prjkt.io] Nightfire-XX:
I have same the issue. Also it's very annoying, that you have to install each overlay seperatly. Especially if you update your apps automatically. After each update you have to reapply. On OMS Rom it's just one click. (Unfortunately the camera is so damn bad on these roms..., On stock again)

[prjkt.io] razrlover:
Status bar icons are already being themed. Are you in the telegram group. I think there is a link in OP, latest aosp icon apk is in the telegram group. Also Status bar icon beta works from the playstore. Not all icings get themed but some. You need to try out your device and see. ?

i am on an S7 flat, superman ROM, using pitch black. (though it doesnt make a difference what theme i use the same thing happens.
[prjkt.io] Wacky2bakky:
Which status bar icon beta app is it in the play store that changes the icons?
[prjkt.io] Ser0mancerXXIV:
Only fix is to use a overlay that changes the card tile background color to something that black txt shows on or roll the app back to 7.8.12.21 and not update further. I chose 2nd option as 1st looked weird.

I've emailed Google asking for them to go back to the way the txt color was defined prior. Response basically laid blame on the removal of search suggestions, which leads me to believe the person didn't have the slightest idea of what they were taking about. It all started when they added compatibility for android O from what I can tell. Like they moved text color server side or within smali.

So uninstall updates to Google app and download version for your device from apk mirror that is prior to app version 7.8.14 and you should be good.
