2 reboots always been procedure since Q but now all have to use ace mode as High Contrasts theme update broke old process.

This is from synergy telegram:

I have thoroughly tested this and I haven't had issues only thing is the long freeze other then that I have been applying overlays without issue. I suggest people having issues try clearing out all. Uninstall everything but themes "they don't matter here" Reboot then:

Install High contrasts theme from galaxy themes directly

Install synergy and lite

Set ACE MODE in synergy. Then build overlays in Lite.

Select "try it out" in Blue Synergy Galaxy theme

Select "Apply" in Pink Synergy Galaxy theme

Applying pink synergy High contrast theme WILL freeze then finish, DO NOT INTERRUPT IT, then reboot and finish normal procedures.

If you can't get it working still then we need logs of the building in synergy. Use adb with matlog app or any way you know to get the log and upload it here.

Hey guys. Got myself a pixel 3 XL and just wondering if I could use substratum without root. Sorry not used it since my note 9.

No need root after oreo. Only Samsung works since devs use their theme system.

Hi DJ

Sprite won't work for me on one ui 2.0

Do we have to buy sprite synergy too, in order for it to work?

I don't know if this help you, I'm using sprite on two 6t's international converted with lastest oxygen and, a few other mods and, ninja mode from sprite works for me on the navigation bar. That is the only thing that I use sprite for.

An error when applying the overlays

I have an error when Trying to install overlays from inside substrum theme lite. "error 1337"

N.B: Iam not able to download high contrast theme 1 or 2 from samsung theme store due to a chronic samsung account problem with my phone.

Can i still use Synergy without high contrast themes?

I've a problem with My S10+, with the last sinergy it doesn't end the build of overlays, because in the last part, after install sinergy ace, when try to install "Sinergy Ace theme for high Contrast Theme" the instalation fails! Any idea?

Until that, with the previos versións of sinergy, i could install it without problems.

Thanks.
[prjkt.io] DanHutchins:
If you have already applied a theme you should try to apply the stock theme and try synergy from the beginning. If there is already a custom theme applied it won't work.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Start fresh, uninstall old ace theme and hc theme...reboot then open synergy....in the synergy theme selection area hit "having trouble" it will uninstall the old theme bits...then install HC theme from Galaxy themes and synergy will set it as the base and will work again.
[prjkt.io] maceto:
Now it works again! Thanks
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Having the same problem and for the life of me can't find the "having trouble" anywhere. I've uninstalled the old ace themes, rebooted gone into synergy and can't find having trouble section. For some reason I'm not able tp DL HC anymore.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You on synergy v0.7.0+? And you buy from play?
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Yes and no, synergy v0.7.1.
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
Yall realize that High_contrast theme had and update recently in theme store.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Is there a work around yet?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I said 0.7.0+ bud lol

Ok then start fresh, uninstall ace theme and hc theme from Galaxy...reboot and open synergy it will ask to set theme base..there you will see "having trouble" tap it and it will uninstall the other pieces of hc theme. Then install it directly from Galaxy themes and open synergy and try again.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
I have done that multiple time and I don't get having trouble.

EDIT:

Cleared the cache and data from synergy and substratum lite and finally got "having trouble." Now it's working.
[prjkt.io] broslav:
I actually Googled the error code but couldn't find the working solution for days, so I came here to complain and found the solution instead. :D

Here is the full text I was getting, it may help even more to get this in the search results...

"We couldn't keep the connection going to finish the download. Try again. (4/T500011)"

It was failing while completing the download of the "High Contrast Theme".

So the solution was to uninstall the "High Contrast Theme" package by using adb command (I did it from my PC):

(even though it was not visible as installed in theme store, nor mentioned in the list of installed packages on my phone). After running the command, I was finally able to install the theme through the store successfully). No reboot was needed.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Are we ever going to get an update to synergy and substratum after the March Oneui 3.0/3.1 update or is theming with synergy and substratum DEAD in the water?
[prjkt.io] Al765436:
So substratum doesn't work on Oneui 3.1??
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
No, not until synergy and substratum are updated by the OP. Evidently they don't want OneUi 3.0 or 3.1 because I'm pretty sure anyone that wants has the ability to get it. I lost a lot of substratum themes from the play store because the dev's didn't want to update their phones and looks like that's what is happening here too.
[prjkt.io] thepersona:
It's a shame that nobody has yet to figure out how to get this to work for unrooted devices running Android 11 and up. Maybe the limitation Google implemented with the hardware overlays being restricted might interfere but it's just a damn shame there's no universal theming method like this or at least I didn't experience anything like this since the last time I used it with Android oreo.

I personally prefer hex+. Unlike substrate him that one is permanent less of a hassle when it comes to compiling the themes and it's much more foolproof and doesn't risk anything for your device. Unfortunately that's only Samsung based so out of luck for non Samsung users.

Sometimes I wish there was a truly foolproof method to rooting devices specifically my Sony Xperia 5 Mark 2 but even then there are limitations while the method may be foolproof nine times out of 10 they're reliant on PCS as opposed to helping Mac users, I don't know I felt like ranting. Rant over LOL just needed to get that off my chest, regardless of my not being able to access this I am glad that it exists and hopefully it acts as a stepping stone for further development to eventually get a rootless option at some point maybe with the new Android 12 update who knows
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
I feel the same way, the dev has left us in the dark. It would be nice if he would respond and let us know what's going on.
[prjkt.io] zeruka:
Regarding Synergy.

I was reading through some of the discussions surrounding this topic. It may or may not be of interest, but a user on this theme thread mentioned that there will apparently be an update soon: https://xdaforums.com/t/bobcatrom-style-samsung-themes.3387307/page-49

Yeah. I was looking into this too when it wouldn't work on my One UI 3.1 phone either. Personally I prefer the variety of the Substratum themes. I like HEX, but I find that almost all the heavy customisation plugins are neon 80s styled cyberpunkish blue-pink high contrast amoled dance parties. Haha. So they all look somewhat the same to me.. and that's fine! but personally a bit of variety would be nice.. And to each their own, of course. 😅

And yeah, I get there's only so much you can milk out of manipulating the exploits of the official theme software. Still, I'm keen to have a play around with Synergy. Hopefully something comes up soon. :)
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
That was 10 days ago and still no updates. What's up with your apps @bohrabhijeet?
[prjkt.io] seanskiT!:
S

Synergy has been updated.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Not on my Play Store, says it hasn't been updated since December 2020.
[prjkt.io] seanskiT!:
Have you tried clearing cache and force stopping playstore? Where are located. I updated yesterday and it is working.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Been trying that continually, I'll give it another try. Located in Texas.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Tried it again, even cleared data, still no update.
[prjkt.io] seanskiT!:
That is odd. Try uninstalling synergy from your phone, reboot and try again. If that doesn't work then the only thing I can think of is that Google hasn't let it out fully.

Looking at the synergy telegram group, it isn't out fully across playstore. Also if you would join the telegram group you would get a lot more info.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Still no Synergy update here in Texas, will be impatiently waiting.
[prjkt.io] seanskiT!:
Did you get the update yet?
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
As of this morning still a big NO!
[prjkt.io] seanskiT!:
It is still rolling out.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Finally got it this afternoon.
[prjkt.io] Mudkidd:
I don't have the update on the Play Store as of yet, but does this enable Substratum themes for an unrooted S21?
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Yes, it should but the process has changed.

ATTENTION:

with update to version 0.90 Synergy now works but works differently, download the "Shizuku" app and follow the on-screen instructions during installation,you will need a computer with ADB (https://kutt.it/SetupADB) to do a setup process every time you reboot your device. "Shizuku setup" is also supported for setup without computer.
[prjkt.io] Mudkidd:
Yeah I figured it out, thanks!

With that said, there's only a couple of themes I found that support One UI 3+, Flux and Liv Dark/Light. Do you guys know of any other ones?
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Same here, not many support it yet. BoBCaTROM has a couple but they are paid. You have to contact him through a message and once you've made the donation he'll give you the site with the downloads.

Are there any plans of substratum supporting custom oreo roms?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
It's not Substratum that has to support it, custom roms can. But it also works on all Oreo. So not sure what you mean.
[prjkt.io] Thevenine:
It clearly states support for custom Nougat, but there's nothing on there concerning custom Oreo and all themes I've seen also clearly state they don't support Android Oreo custom roms
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Because Oreo came with necessary code, OMS built right in. Oreo no matter what works! MANY themes support custom Oreo roms in fact all will work with custom roms. What themes you using that says that? My theme Sprite, Valerie, Victory, Ninteen, Flux, Swift, BigBlu, Pitched Black etc etc etc etc support custom Oreo roms!
[prjkt.io] Thevenine:
Wow! This is the best reassurance. I haven't actually given it a try so as not to crash and burn my device but I'll do so soon and let you know the outcome. Thanks
[prjkt.io] zard:
Hi, can someone advise me, which is the settings in Substratum that controls this? I've been using Substratum in Nouget and Oreo, and just trying out Pie, but every time, I will encounter this issue where the notifications text gets changed to white or gray, and the notifications background in white or gray, I can't read the text.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Answered in other thread
[prjkt.io] nogaff:
Question: Given that Substratum requires root on Pie and seemingly places compiled APK files into /system/app, does that mean any use of Substratum on Pie will prevent OTA updates?

The reason I ask is, the Magisk documentation states:

If it's true that Substratum will prevent OTA updates on Pie, isn't there some way it could detect and leverage Magisk to systemlessly install the APK files to /system/app?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Only to update not be notified, uninstalling overlays before system updates are already good practice. Just uninstall them before you update. You'll still get notified!
[prjkt.io] nogaff:
Is that actually confirmed to work? Numerous posts on the Magisk forum imply that uninstalling Substratum overlays would not be enough to allow successful OTA updates, and that the only solution would be to flash a stock system.img to the system partition. Here's a selection of quotes to that effect:
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Well yes you have to follow magisk for their instructions but "usually" once you uninstall the overlays they are gone! Nothing to block applying the ota once you unroot and no overlays! But Pie is new so guess you listen to them.
[prjkt.io] nogaff:
Sorry to go on about it, but that's my whole point. The overlays taint the system partition and removing them won't clear the taint, so a user then has to flash a clean system image in order to apply an OTA.

Therefore, my question still stands about whether Substratum could be made to work systemlessly if Magisk is available on the device. That way there would be no problem with OTA updates...

I also think it might be a good idea to have a warning about this in [MENTION=7817389]abhijeetbohra[/MENTION]'s guide, so that people know what to expect.
[prjkt.io] Surge1223:
No

We'd have to modify the OMS service itself, and it resides in /system framework and services jars. It seems like it'd be much easier for the end-user to suck It up and back up before they take an OTA than it would be for us/anyone to divine a new method that literally renders the intention of system integrity useless.

It's simply not worth the time nor effort.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Thanks Surge!
[prjkt.io] :
So you mean Magisk users just have to backup the /system/framework folder and they're good to go for OMS mode?

Does it need to be backed up before installing Magisk or it doesn't matter?
[prjkt.io] Surge1223:
Well someone would have to make the hacked changed framework jars and make sure they were universal first. I doubt that task will ever be done
[prjkt.io] :
Oh ok I see.

So, having a Magisk-rooted Android Oreo phone, my only two options to use Substratum are:

- Using the root method, having the risk to modify system files even if I uninstall/unroot by removing Magisk

- Using Andromeda

correct ?

Thanks!
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Yep
[prjkt.io] NovaViper:
I'm having issues with using the app on my rootless LG G6 running Oreo.. no matter how many times I tell it to enable a theme and reboot, it never seems to enable the theme at all. I'm using the Clean Lock theme
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Clean lock will only work on devices it's made for. LG has its own coding so not many themes will work. Only one I know is Alpha theme by Mark Bencze that will work on your system. Otherwise only 3rd party overlays will work no system.
[prjkt.io] NovaViper:

You have a compatible theme to your device?
[prjkt.io] ToraxOutlaw:
I'm using Sai's Oreo Theme that I bought from the Google Play Store. It's inverts all the whiteness in to blackness.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I would have no idea if works on Sony phones. Ask in Sai's telegram chat. Afaik you're not having issues building means Substratum is working. Just theme isn't.
[prjkt.io] Manku!:
Could any one please let me know if this andromeda theme works for Lenovo K6 Power and Poco F1.

And also very well detailed write-up Abhijeet, great ?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Andromeda isn't a theme but a way to use Substratum without root. Themes will have to be compatible not Substratum. It works on all Oreo because Google added code. Themes might not work because theme devs need the device to theme it and I don't even know what those devices are so I'm assuming not many themes will work unless they run pure android like pixel.

Hi sir

I am new to this substratum themes . How to apply overlays without safetynet fail. I try recently it after installation overlay and I unable to use bank app.

Root : yes ( magisk 17.1)

Sorry for my bad English

Thanks in advance.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
What android version?

Safety net has nothing to do with Substratum. If you root with magisk and have issues with it that's an issue with magisk not Substratum.
[prjkt.io] jc1266:
Sir ..I already manage do it ..thank you for replying thank u so much.

Hi this is my first time here, I want to start using Substratum, but I'll need some guidance.

So, I'm using a note3 HLTE, rooted, currently on Lineage OS 15.1, so what is required of me to download?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
There are 2 modes for Samsung. Andromeda needs pc on each reboot and installing overlays is way easier. The other is sungstromeda mode where no pc need you have to use package installer to install each overlay after they build. Then reboot to enable them. Just longer process.

Substratum and a theme you are good to go
[prjkt.io] Medyredy:
So which part of the first page applies to me? I'm I on stock Oreo?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You are rooted so nothing special needed, just install Substratum give it root permissions and find a theme.
[prjkt.io] dhruvarora91:
Can we apply it on Honor 8X (non rooted)
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I would advise searching for a theme that supports it...I have no clue. Also if Oreo device then yes the system will work...finding themes might be the issue! If no themes support system you can use for 3rd party apps only.
[prjkt.io] dhruvarora91:
My device is on oreo. But when I connect it to my pc and run Andromeda, the app still says disconnected
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You buy Andromeda from playstore? If so you have adb connection working?
[prjkt.io] dhruvarora91:
Yes, i brought the andromeda. I didn't use the adb method. I used the start Andromeda method
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
They both use adb though. The .bat script works better imo.
[prjkt.io] dhruvarora91:
I ran the start_andromeda windows batch file. cmd popped up but nothing happened
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You extracted the zip to a folder and connected phone to pc with adb running then hit .bat with Substratum open?
[prjkt.io] dhruvarora91:
Yes. Then cmd popped up and then automatically closed and nothing happened.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
It's supposed to close on its own, normal behavior.

Open Substratum and run .bat then Substratum will close also. Reopen Substratum and if your device and pc were working together correctly with adb it should work.
[prjkt.io] dhruvarora91:
When I reopened substratum this showed up
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
And running the script had no issues and closed Substratum after running?
[prjkt.io] dhruvarora91:
When i ran the .bat file, substratum didn't opened automatically on my device.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
It's not supposed to reopen but answer question did it close after running script and was this working before?
[prjkt.io] dhruvarora91:
It didn't closed
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Then you have issue with adb, did you install adb drivers to your pc for your phone? If not do that and grant adb on phone when it asks.
