I appreciate your help throughout all of these releases
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Suhas_JS:
Pleasure's all mine. When we can not do something on our own, the least we could do is to assist someone who is more capable. :)

Coming back to the point, I am using Amaze & EX Explorer to replace the said files.

Strangely, I am getting various error messages, like "Insufficient space".

Also, everytime I try and copy a folder, it wont show up until I restart the device.

I know this is little too much for you to imagine. I'll may be post a short GIF in some time for you to get a gist of the issue.

Thanks and apologies for the story. :D
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] syfo:
Worked out fine with your instructions, only had to clear data and cache of pixel launcher to get round icons. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] noooooo:
Tested, substratum works but no night light
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bigcelo75:
Wich permission did you use for the build prop? 600 or 644?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Suhas_JS:
Congratulations to me... I think I screwed up my phone. All of a sudden Substratum started working (may be I had done everything alright???). Applied a couple of overlays and voila!!! The phone does a factory reset by itself and get stuck at the Google animation. Interestingly, it's the new animation that came with the OPR6 mod. Don't know where I went wrong. I have currently switched my cell off. Maybe I need to reflash everything again???
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
600
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
I don't believe there is a need to wipe if your phone factory reset itself. There may be a chance that it didn't successfully factory reset. I would reflash stock system.img and stock vendor.img. That should undo everything and let you boot up
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] bigcelo75:
Same here. Is there a fix for that yet [MENTION=7812176]krisyarno[/MENTION]?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] syfo:
Not to contradict OP but I used 644 for files (.prop and apk's) and 755 for folders. Also I don't know if it helps but at first I didn't have night light and installed the "pixel" apk (inside the overlay folder), rebooted the device and voila! After that just cleared pixel launcher cache and that took care of the round icons.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] revanmj:
Ok, installing Pixel theme APK normally (like a normal app via file manager on the phone) and then executing "adb shell cmd overlay enable --user 0 com.google.android.theme.pixel" works fine, but this only changes color accent to blue.

I figured out that icon shape sits in the second overlay APK (android.auto_generated_rro__) in config_icon_mask string and config_useRoundIcon bool values. But I am unable to load them.

Overlays with "isStatic=true" in manifest (like this autogerenated...) seem to be special and Android does not load them at all when they were installed like normal app. When I remove "isStatic" from manifest, they seem to load (according to cmd overlay list results) but icons are still square (even after reboot). I guess they have to be on vendor / system partition or signed with system key (wanted to avoid this in order to not tip off SafetyNet).
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Curiousn00b:
That's what I'm truly looking for is just the icon masking of round icons instead of this awful square crap. Apparently, it still isn't round here even after following the instructions in the OP. Going to try again without flashing the stock framework.zip. [emoji848]

Edit: Seems my device went a little wonky at first, but it's running fine after another reboot. Doing more playing around focusing on the circle icons only. [emoji848]
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
Right. The only thing that really comes from the pixel.apk is the accent color. All the framework mods come from the framework file. My guess is the reason it's not loading is because the framework is from the Pixel. Frameworks can be pretty picky. So what I'm doing is recreating the framework file that Google made for the Pixel, from the framework on the 6P. I'll replace the apk and see what happens. I've got to get my file size pretty small because the vendor partition is picky about storage too. Shouldn't be too difficult and hopefully that works
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Curiousn00b:
[MENTION=7812176]krisyarno[/MENTION] In which APK does the Night Light, and Double Tap exist? I want to remove the double tap options and keep only Night Light, if possible, but I can't figure it out.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
It's in the framework-res.apk. It's a bool
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Curiousn00b:
Ahhh. I guess once it's enabled and you boot up, it hangs around. I had it disabled and it's still there.

Also, your stock framework zip, the bool for the round icons is set to false.

Edit: I believe I see why. The inconsistency with Google is annoying... Pixel style icons or sub-less... Hmmm...
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
Yes. Modifying the framework-res.apk breaks substratum. The Pixel itself actually has those set to false also. It used the framework file find within the overlay folder in the vendor
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Curiousn00b:
Odd. After playing around some more, substratum built the overlays while I'm using the modified framework(you can see the circle icons in the overview). I guess I'm pretty happy with the setup I have now. :p
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Suhas_JS:
Finally, all done. Substratum still seems to be broken :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] wyv3rnn:
On OPR6 with ElementalX kernel. Followed all steps from OP, and also installed the Pixel apk (from the overlays folder) and enabled it by adb. Blue accents, Night Light, Round Icons AND Substratum working flawlessly. Also, I've got a 'Device Theme' option under Display settings now. It's broken though, just like the DT2W switch. Awesome work, thanks a lot :D

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] blop135:
Outline is the best substratum theme for me, I see I'm not the only one that appreciate it :), works well? No buggs so far?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Curiousn00b:
Outline has been my favorite theme since the release as well. No bugs that I've found since it was remade, and it looks even better now. [emoji41]
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ShreyasZad:
I tried each step perfectly as mentioned by you for almost 5-6 times still I get error saying system ui has stopped working. I need substratum. Please, anyone can help? :crying:
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] eduardozeassesme:
Do you have installed any theme before make this installation?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rieke137:
I've gone through the steps a handful of times now. My problem is whenever I set the permissions for the APKs to 644, it saves it as 640?? I don't know if you've seen this or know a work around. Rooted with Magisk.

Edit: I was able to set those permissions through TWRP. Still unable to get the round icons.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Suhas_JS:
[MENTION=7812176]krisyarno[/MENTION], I did, redid and multi did all the steps.

Pixel Accent - Check.

Round Icons - Check.

Substratum - Broken.

Tried substratum with a bunch of themes and overlays. Some overlays work. Most popular themes give an error- "Theme compiled with some errors" and give a long list of errors on Logchar.

Could this be because the themes have or may not have been updated to Oreo?

I have set the permissions as 644 for the files and 755 for the folders.

I also replaced the original build.prop file with the file provided by you. Should have I only edited the parameters as given by you in the OP or is it OK to entirely replace with you file?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ShreyasZad:
Nope. I just encountered what is causing the error. Manually copying the overlay folder is the cause of bootloop. When I undo that step, the phone starts fine but I am missing the round icons unfortunately and also night light. Do you have any solution for this, please?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] blop135:
Is it possible to make tinted navbar or it's framework-res.apk related?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] blop135:
Did you manage to make quick settings notification work with Outline? Cause I have an error everytime I try to set it, all the rest works fine:confused:

Thank you:)
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Curiousn00b:
You you mean the QS icons?

There was a method with Tasker to snooze the crap out of the ongoing notification on the XDA Portal. They said that was the way to do it without root, but they never posted a method to do it for those with root. I just set the priority of it to low, so it doesn't bother me since it doesn't show. [emoji41]
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] blop135:
Yes exactly it doesn't work for me, I have an error everytime I try to set it.

Ok I will look about that, it's in application and notifications section?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] syfo:
In the meantime search for "navbar apps" in the playstore, that's what I use for tinted nav bar and it works great.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] blop135:
Yes it works great.

Thanks ?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Curiousn00b:
Yup. Swipe the Android System notification over, hit the settings gear that pops up next to it, and go to this category.

Great man you rock finally everything is working like a charm night light, round icons , & main thing is substratum is also working & pixel animation too

See this
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mangusZen:
I did the steps in the first post, but I cant get it to work completely.

Do I need a clean restart after install?

I mean, I have circle icons, theme, and night light, but not the setting in settings- display
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] abyz12:
I didn't understand what you want to say setting in setting means??
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mangusZen:
I mean this, that suddenly started to appear don't know how. Now everything is working great here, great job.

It appeared when I applied a substratum overlay,

Now I can switch between them.

Coooool

Check screenshot

Like someone said earlier, after the steps in OP, I also installed the pixel apk in vendor, and used the adb command posted earlier.

Everything is up and running.

Cheers
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] abyz12:
Is it are you able to use icon shape in pixel launcher?? Actually change icon shape option not showing in launcher setting
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mangusZen:
Clean data and cache for pixel launcher apk.

You should find the switch.

Switch to other form, and then back to system default. That did the trick for me.

I don't know then :(

Do you have

ro.opa.eligible_device=true

in system/build.prop ?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] chuckbartowski:
long press your home screen, press the settings, then select “Change Icon Shape”.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] mangusZen:
Oddly enough, I did a clean installation and the option wasnt there anymore.

It appeared out of nowhere after 20 minutes by itself.

It's probably a server side option when the device is recognized as a pixel

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] ArmStrongDickPunch:
I followed the instructions exactly but I don't have night mode but everything else is working good including substratum, how do I get night mode working??
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rizki_Alkaf:
Hi,

I came far away from another device's world, but i think maybe i can ask and learn many things here.

First thing is, how did you decompile and recompile Oreo apk? Since the latest APKTool is still not working very well.

The second is, I've managed to use your pixel theme method in my device to have pixel's color and round icon (thanks). Strange thing is, some of them (chrome, camera, which i'm pretty sure they are updated) are rounded, but their icon are not changing. Camera app still has its coloured icon instead the black-white one.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

[MENTION=7812176]krisyarno[/MENTION] ... Substratum has released a rootless bypass for Android Oreo... I have attached the link below... Would this help you? And for all you people who would want Substratum without root can follow the steps mentioned in the link... Sorry for hijacking your post [MENTION=7812176]krisyarno[/MENTION]

I haven't had any problems decompiling and recompiling anything I've tried to yet. SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, services.jar, framework.jar, etc. What apktool are you using?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] rizki_Alkaf:
Latest version is 2.2.4, right?

Actually i can decompile and recompile successfully. But then it gives me bootloop
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Squall88uk:
Followed the instructions and the pixel launcher is definitely working correctly. However I dont seem to be able to set the rounded icons. The teardrop shape works fine though. Also Have no option for night light.

Can anyone advise on how I can get the night light option to work?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Mattski:
same issue here

Regardless an amazing mod, hope it improves
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Squall88uk:
Update: Still no change. Also have no option to select any substratum theme. Do I need some sort of manager or is it supposed to be selectable through the option in display settings? If so then I don't have the option that others have mentioned.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] VN_Optimus:
Sorry

Too confusing for new members :(

Step 3) Move that folder in your Vendor folder. Leave behind the "build.prop" If you go to your root directory you should see the folder "Vendor". Along with folders like "sys" and "system". But you don't want those. You want "Vendor".

Step 4) Make sure the permissions are accurate. The 2 apk files that you will find inside the "overlay" folder (the framework file and the pixel.apk file you'll find in the "pixel" folder inside the "overlay" folder) are set to 644. The folders "overlay" and "pixel" ("pixel" is found within the "overlay" folder) needs to be set to 755.

Step 5) Edit the build.prop file found within your vendor to include the lines that are found in the included build.prop (See footer)
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Face_Plant:
After recompiling do you use a tool such as 7Zip or Archive Manager to copy AndroidManifest.XML and the META-INF folder from the original apk into the one you modified? Skipping this step causes bootloops.
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] pathum1:
stuck at boot animation :(
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] skiely666:
You might know this, what would I decompile to look to see if it's possible to enable the option to turn on the pixel 2 XL's color profiles in display options on the original pixel XL? Or would you be interested in maybe having a look?

I think it'd be interesting to see if it works..

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the1stSecond:
Well, I'm officially getting old I guess...

Was hoping to see if root cloak works and I see that hasn't been supported for a while. So, I went ahead and uninstalled using the uninstaller.zip arm64 for sdk 24, most recent version.

Anyone wondering;

Uninstalling, for me, went just as easy as installing.

Sounds like everything, for 7.0+ is still in beta/testing by rovo so do all this at your own risk.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Interceptor777:
I don't see the point in uninstalling because root clock doesn't work though, eitherway you can't use Knox or SafetyNet so might as well have Xposed.

Also there is another module called No Device Check which lets you use simpler apps like Snapchat, Mario Run, Pokemon GO etc... no Android Pay though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the1stSecond:
Good point, and I'm sure I'll reinstall at some point.

I'll try out the module you recommended as well, thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
If you did a factory reset where it shows your build number and the other Options where you can wipe cache and other stuff then you should be okay to do it that way but if you did it threw the fast way Through the phone then you have the long way to do it again

Walker

I would help you but I don't have a Verizon phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBigEasy88:
Yes, it works on a Verizon S8. Just be sure to do a backup, via Flashfire, so you're prepared if something were to go wrong. I had decided to try a module that wasn't on the 1st page list, boot looped the phone and had everything back to exactly where I previously was in under 15 minutes.

Thanks for sharing info

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
I can confirm that this works on Sprint QH3. Just know that Sprint QH3 does NOT have calling plus for some odd reason. (QH3 U1 FW). I'm going to experiment a bit more w/ QGL as it does have calling plus.

I got a soft brick on AQGL on tmobile just a heads up
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
[MENTION=7658763]TheBigEasy88[/MENTION] [MENTION=8360749]wildermjs8[/MENTION] have you guys actually done a restore this way? I did attempt to do a restore, selected what to restore, chose wipe and moved it to top and then hit flash. It sits at loading for a while (5 minutes or so?) and then it just goes back to the flashfire screen.

I tried to install xposed on QGL as a test and of course it soft bricked it so I had to start over (Flash the original modded files via ODIN in step 1 and redo root). I did not do step 2 and flash a newer system.img for stable root. DO I need to do this before I can actually restore w/ flashfire?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Many times, although if the resulting restore is going to change firmware versions, I usually flash CSC and cp via Odin just to be safe.

I've also had very bad experiences with the "wipe" feature of flashfire. For example do not ever decide to "wipe dalvik cache" or whatever in FF for an install you aren't also wiping everything else, as it had the fun effect of factory resetting your phone without wiping data.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Oddly it seems to be cooperating now after i unchecked and rechecked a few things. Do you know exactly what would be checked if I did want to restore the CSC and CP files? There are a ton of modem files in the restore and i can't make heads or tails out of it.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
In flashfire? If I'm doing a full restore I check literally everything but bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Fair enough that is what I ended up doing in the end. The first time I did it it just hung until I unchecked a bunch of stuff (Just left data, internal, system I think) then did the restore. THen I did another restore of everything and all is well.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
I have had it hang instead of boot into flashfire once or twice, but a simple hard reboot and repeat attempt has fixed that for me
