tl;dr

I need a compatible "Samsung Theme Store" theme.

***

I'm stuck at step 5 "...download High Contrast Theme..."

Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e wifi only NOT Rooted, Bootloader locked.

Using Synergy v0.1.10, Substratum Lite v0.3.24

Procedure from OP page one with my notes in [brackets].

- Download and install Synergy and Substratum Lite apps from Play Store

- Open Synergy and tap on Add overlays » Select Substratum Lite [in hamburger menu selected "Night Mode Settings" and installed the plugin—>set it to "On"]

- From Substratum Lite app select supported OneUI Theme [aospUI Black Theme, in my case] [toast says "On Samsung Stock Pie ROM you must choose PieSamsungStock option by tapping on 'ChangeOptionFromHERE', otherwise you risk bootloop or the theme will look bad-done] and select overlays [I only chose Play Store, for now].

- Click on the FAB and select Install [Synergy toast "Import success"]

- After it is imported to Synergy, tap on the FAB [that says "Build"] and it'll prompt you to download a Samsung theme. [prompt says "Please download High Contrast Theme without applying to start theming." [then I tap "Ok" and Synergy closes.]

[Reading the xda thread leads me to believe that I should be directed to a "theme store"-- the Samsung theme store, no doubt, but this is not stated anywhere. The Galaxy S5e doesn't come with a Samsung theme app, so Synergy had no app to direct to for download so just closed. Being stuck at this step confused the heck out of me until I saw the xda post from 3 July. Perhaps a statement about being directed to a "theme store" in the instructions is needed—it sure would have saved me from a lot of headache!]

Anyways, stuck here. Now to find a compatible "Samsung Theme Store" theme so I can, hopefully, continue this process.

Any help appreciated.

No Samsung theme store no Samsung theme system. Can't just install it.
[prjkt.io] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
U have to apply stock theme them go build your theme , then reboot then go straight to synergy app then that will take you to theme store apply theme reboot
[prjkt.io] TiTiB:
Yeah, I see that *now* (i.e., in the last day or so) there is the statement on Play Store "This app isn't compatible with your device anymore. Contact the developers for more info." I knew beforehand that I might have to jump through some hoops to get this to work, but incompatibility was not on my radar. I even bought your Sprite OneUI Synergy theme! Not a big deal, and I won't even ask for a refund because I like to support you folks who are doing this work for all of us—I don't imagine you're getting rich from doing this stuff.

Now, on to the current status and why I, perhaps mistakenly, still have some hope.

I found and installed the Samsung Themes app from https://www.sammobile.com/apk/samsung-themes/samsung-themes-4-2-28-81212/

and Synergy even opens it in order to download a theme, but does not ever initiate a network connection. I hope (there's that word again) that overcoming this will allow me to resume, and eventually finish, this procedure.

Given this new information is there any hope?

Thank you

Synergy app is highly unstable and it can Brick ur device. Yesterday I installed theme and it went straight to bootloop. My device was encrypted too. I had to flash the firmware again from Odin. Finally my device is back to normal. This app should be removed from Play store. Paying for the app, for all this mess? No thanks
[prjkt.io] Wacky2bakky:
Wow really? I have had no issues whatsoever with Synergy. This comment needs to be removed. Obviously someone wasn't doing something right lol
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
No that won't work you need the entire system and your device doesn't.

Then you didn't reboot before applying theme or used a theme not for your device. The system works just fine if used correctly. Thousands using no issues
[prjkt.io] milojoseph:
Can we get a yellow icon when a an overlay get needs updating
[prjkt.io] kongacute:
Cool. Buying an app that already alert about unstable then complain. This comment must be removed.
[prjkt.io] TiTiB:
Perhaps you should read the whole thing, and understand that statements like, and this not an exact quote, but the meaning of the description was "works on all devices with OneUI Pie". I'm telling you that the description of the app changed after I purchased the app, and is now not even installable from Play Store on the S5e.

I also noticed that [MENTION=2126467]djdarkknight96[/MENTION] upvoted your post. I guess he didn't understand the intention of my post either. I'll just assume it is my fault for not communicating my thoughts clearly, and leave it at that.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
This was not from your post but the guy saying it should be unpublished. Different topics bud
[prjkt.io] Aakash Kaushal:
I will wait for the same reply if the same thing happened to you. (Facepalm)
[prjkt.io] kongacute:
Well. When it happen, this app should out of unpublished state. And also, I'm joined a lot of beta apps and always ready for any bug of those app happen for me. So, you said alert me for nothing :p

PS: any new stuffs will never become stable. Even it is tested very hard. Especially right with non company product.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
He's followed the directions and has a themed phone, you come here for help that's fine, but to complain then you can go. I told you the issue you had was on your own not following process correctly or used theme not for your device, we will never know I guess. That's the ONLY way you would need to wipe also we have recovery ways so you'll never have to wipe but did you come ask? No just complain. Maybe ask for help next time.
[prjkt.io] Trina9:
Did you actually pay for it, or downloaded a pirated version?

And you are providing NO details on what happened.

I'm smelling a troll.
[prjkt.io] Wacky2bakky:
He's a troll
[prjkt.io] Aakash Kaushal:
Nothing else to expect from those people who just lick as* of the developers. As long as we appreciating the app, we are good. If we criticize about it, we are trolls. Hypocrites dumb people -_-

And i don't even need the refund, i neither asked too.
[prjkt.io] Trina9:
Then if you really had a issue, post the details.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You aren't contributing to the thread just troll behavior which I can get a mod here for education if you need. I'm trying to be nice, you're not making it easy.
[prjkt.io] Aakash Kaushal:
Thanks for some real mature comment

As I said, I reflashed official firmware bcz I was getting bootloops after installing the theme(Note 9 snap). Yes I did reboot too. My phone was encrypted too, Even factory reset didn't help. My phone was going in safe mode again and again even after factory reset. I had to reflash everything again via Odin. My internal storage wiped too. Im not taking risk again with that app, Idk if I did something wrong or there was a bug or issue with the app. I won't post anything on this topic anymore (unless some people reply with childish comments).

Thanks ?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I have S9+ snappy dragon and create themes using it and have never had to factory reset....even if I looped because we can rescue using adb. Please next time if you decide to try again ask for help. I don't mind helping but we gotta know to able to help. DJ
[prjkt.io] Trina9:
Maybe next time post details first without an attitude and people won't think that you are trolling.
[prjkt.io] Aakash Kaushal:
A found a guy on YouTube who had the same problem like me exactly. Maybe developers can find the real issue with this?

I texted him to describe this issue in this thread, hopefully he will reply.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Devs already added changes to eliminate future issues like that, the issue was applying before reboot. Now you can't apply without reboot. Tons of dialogs saying steps and so on. Been resolved few updates ago. No issues so far, mostly users trying themes not approved for their device and they can still recover with a pc using adb. Don't worry they don't want this to happen to anyone.
[prjkt.io] Aakash Kaushal:
Thats great, I will try it again then lol.

Btw which official themes works best with this app currently? :P

[prjkt.io] Madhias:
On my phone (A3 2017 on J6 Pie Rom), after "[*]Click on the FAB and select Install", I don't get redirected back to the Synergy app. When going back manually, there is no "Build" Option on the bottom. Is the phone not compatible or am I doing something wrong?

[MENTION=255517]JDark[/MENTION]knight96

Is it a One UI or Synergy limitation that only 56 overlays can be applied? Do you have any knowledge if Synergy dev is working to solve this limitation. I love the PitchBlack S theme on my S8+ but it is pain in the axx that every time I have to filter out more than 20 apps from the list to make it match this 56 overlays number.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
For now it's a Samsung limitation with no pc...later with pc maybe but no pc not possible

S10+ Synergy issue.

My friend is having an issue with the High Contrast theme actually displaying any new overlays that were built.

I have a Sprint S10+ - Build ASDA - Synergy, Substratum Lite, Swift Dark combo works perfectly, no issue.

He has AT&T S10+ - Build ASF6 - Exact same combo doesn't work. No error messages when going through the process, but when we apply the High Contrast theme, nothing themes at all. It appears exactly the same as the default theme. I've trying uninstalling all of the apps, and all downloaded themes from the Theme Store. No matter what we do, we can't get the applied theme to take effect.

I definitely know the process as I have performed it on mine countless times now. On his the process works just the same, but applying the High Contrast theme just makes no difference in the appearance.

Anyone else having this issue? Is it an issue with the newer S10+ builds?
[prjkt.io] akellar:
Works fine on asf6 here
[prjkt.io] FlowingAway:
So weird.

I've tried it about 10 times now. Trying every overlay possible, and tried doing just one overlay, can't get any of the overlays to actually show.

High_Contrast theme is applied, restarted, but the apps do not go dark.

One thing I noticed is when I'm applying the High_Contrast theme it applies very fast, much faster than on my phone where it seems to actually be working hard towards a goal. On my friend's phone it just flies through 0-100% like it's not even trying.

Very strange.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Might be a Samsung theme store bug, uninstall any themes in the theme store then clear it's data. Reboot then install high contrasts theme and apply it seeing it change the system. Then apply default theme and try synergy again.
[prjkt.io] Malnilion:
This might be a dumb question, but you are going back into Synergy after applying and enabling night mode, right?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
He has it working on other device, hope it wasn't that easy of mistake. Lol
[prjkt.io] -XIV-:
Went back 5 pages but no luck. What's the proper procedure for installing SECURITY UPDATES? Must we uninstall all overlays prior? Synergy working just fine on GN8 unrooted but want to make sure I don't make a mistake to mess things up.

Thanks in advance
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Set default theme, update phone with ota, go to synergy and swipe away all system apps then rebuild them in substratum lite then build in synergy, reboot, apply in galaxy themes. Reboot profit!
[prjkt.io] ILuvRice:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do we need to wait till the theme we are using updates before we update apps? I cant seem to find anything that states so. I'm used to have to waiting in the past and wanted to know if it's still the case.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
It's best practice to wait, but usually themes with have v# options or change log with v# supported. Like Twitter I haven't updated in my theme 6 months and it still works. No perfect formula to it, depends on themes also...how heavily moded it is also. Clear themes vs solid, light themes vs dark etc.
[prjkt.io] ILuvRice:
Ok, thanks for the response.

theme for pop-up power menu

I can't find a way to theme 2 components of Android:

1)Pop-up Power Off/ Restart menu

2)"Resolver-Activity" (the menu that pops it asking which app you want to use and if you want to use it always or not

I have 2 devices that are both on Android 8.0: Sony XA2 and Moto E5 Play

Both are rooted with Magisk and have TWRP installed.

I have everything else black except for these, so can anyone guide me to getting these overlays built?

Thank you!
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Those are in Android and systemui. You might need to run custom Rom for your entire system to be themed. All depends on how they are coded and how the theme you are using is coded.
[prjkt.io] soham.parekh1998:
When i try to apply some overlays like icons...it says overlays cant be applied...can anyone help me out as to why
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Need a ton more details then that, this might be a theme issue. You try theme dev?
[prjkt.io] soham.parekh1998:
Hi,thanks for replying.The theme im using is called Valeria substratum from playstore. The issue i get is with navbar icon colors
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Oh the dev is super helpful, email him or even better join his telegram. I even help in there. It will be something easy for him to either fix or help you get working.

[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Does anyone know or confirmed if this working on the Note 10+?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
With synergy no root is only possible, but themes might need to update if they used OneUI 2.0

Edit: confirmed they used only 1.5 and my theme still works. So others should also!

Question please - I'm using synergy and substratum lite on a Note 10+. I decided to uninstall the theme and try another, went to menu selected all and uninstalled all overlays, said no overlays were installed. Rebooted and ran the adb command [adb shell cmd overlay list] and it showed that there were quite a few still installed. Is there a way to make sure that all overlays are uninstalled?
[prjkt.io] DanHutchins:
Go to Samsung themes and uninstall the synergy theme that it had you install.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

You have to revert back to stock theme to completely uninstall.

[prjkt.io] Starymari:
I lost my Samsung Themes app entirely! Ahh! My system is still themed in the theme I was using (Aurora), even though I uninstalled the overlays I'm unable to go back to system theme! Sorry for being inept about this! Any help appreciated!
[prjkt.io] jwarrior319:
In that case i would use Smart Switch to backup everything, then do a factory reset and restore the backup. Just make sure not to select any theme related stuff to backup/restore.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Go to safe mode, go to default theme then boot up or.....nvm I went to get adb command and see you were helped on that same chat already using safe mode. Yay! Lol
[prjkt.io] i6rb:
thanks for your hard working brother

is there any plan to support Android 10?

Based on oxygen open beta?
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Question please, I've deleted a theme and run the command adb shell cmd overlay list and it shows there are 5 left but without the check mark next to them.

com.android.internal.display.cutout.emulation.corner

com.android.internal.display.cutout.emulation.double

com.android.internal.display.cutout.emulation.tall

com.samsung.systemui.hidenotch.withoutcornerround

com.samsung.systemui.hidenotch

I have run the command adb shell cmd overlay disable <package name of the overlay> and they are still there, is this normal or do I have a problem that will need a FDR?
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
If you are trying to delete them then the adb command to delete is, adb shell pm uninstall com.android.internal.display.cutout.emulation.corner
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
When using the commands you provided I get: Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
Hmm question cause if those apk you trying to disable or delete, are those 5 apk part of the phone from system stock? The adb command only works if it's either a overlayer or a apk that can normally get uninstall, so i am assuming those arent overlayers?

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

Also can i see a screenshot of the adb command from the beginning failing .
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Bro.... Those are stock overlays that came with your device. They can't be uninstalled without root and you shouldn't.
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
Thought so, that is why he gets that error., like i explained above your post.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Yeah I seen you tried to help him get it working so I stopped reading and sent that lol
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Here it is. I did a factory data reset a week or so ago and they didn't show up. Also have a good backup on samsung cloud so an FDR isn't that bad.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
I ran the command to see overlays about a week ago and they didn't show up. Had an update to OneUI yesterday, could that be why they are showing up now?
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
Those are build in the phone you can't uninstall those , here i will show you on Package Disabler pro see one of the ones your trying to delete.

So those 5 apk are build in your phone, only thing you can do is disable it with adb or Package Disabler pro will also disable it , this is my AT&T Note10 Plus.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
If they are supposed to be there I don't want to disable them. The only reason I posted is because they weren't there last week when I ran the command to see the overlays but yesterday there was an update to ONEUI and wondering if that's why they are there now. I'm using CCSWE App Manager Pro to debloat but if it's supposed to be there then I'm fine with it.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I've seen them since I've had pie so if your just now getting pie then yes. Otherwise Samsung could have just been late...as usual... To get all devices the same.
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
Yes those are build in the phone system, so i would suggest don't mess with those 5 apk, Can mess some of your functions on the phone to not work, i wouldn't worry about those 5 apk files.

You need magisk to root with and it will get a module from substratum once you open it. Then you'll need to reboot to enable it. Then it should work.

If you have green the system is working, now we don't know if you have a theme that is working but the system is. Contract theme Dev to make sure it's for lineage and the android version your are using.. you never mentioned that.
[prjkt.io] Bobthahog:
All right it did it to me again. All I did was try to delete my old thing which was Liv dark and I was going to apply pitch Black. I downloaded and applied the high contrast theme 2 and then proceeded to delete the synergy theme and then when I applied all my overlays from pitch Black it automatically started boot looping. could you please help me figure this out to where I don't have to reset my phone?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
If you got bootloop you either applied the theme before you rebooted like dialog tells you "I don't think that's it" or your picked wrong things in the theme. "I think this is why" The system is the only thing we are here to help with... Again help with themes contact theme Dev. Make sure you are selecting correctly for OneUi. I suggest trying a theme like Gurple free here on Xda that's made only for OneUI or SpriteOneUI my paid theme for only OneUI or ask in Swift chat or Liv chat for help. The system itself is working you just need help with themes.
