I see old LP builds for our phone can do this, but newer can't. And I see on March 2016, people was able to apply full themes (include Settings, Dialer, Contacts, status bar). So can we apply full themes on lastest stock MM? Alternatives like Overlay/RRO often crash SystemUI and not fully applied. In Russianbear's OP screenshot, I see an AOSP-like Settings app. How did he do this?

Use custom themes or RRO that re-worked to work with MM.
Now free themes only apply status bar, home screen (ZenUI Launcher), lockscreen, and weather widget.

What's the best way to change the system font in PA 5.1? It's not really "my" phone until I have the right font
Also, how do you get to the settings menu for Launcher3?
RRO Layers support coming to PA 5.x?
I'm wondering, since PA 5.1 is very new, are there a lot of tweaks which will come later such as being able to choose which Quick Settings tiles you have and re-arranging them, and some option to go back to "dark" system menus instead of the ugly white ones?
1. Use any font changing app on the play store.
2. Aosp launcher doesn't have any settings. It never has. Use a different launcher.
3. F#$k no layers is not coming to PA. Layers is a cluster**** of code. No. Just effing no.
4. Quick settings tiles were removed from 5.1 for a rework because of the changes google made to the code.
5. No. We like what google has done with the lollipop look and we don't change that.

Hi,
Just a thread to agregate all the infos about compatibilities
I'll keep this first post updated if you give me informations.
Additionnal information :
OMS Support for LOS
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/reference-lineageos-substratum-support-t3580276
Free themes :
ModernUI : not bad, but black on black on the ambient display (when screen is all B&W). Except that, I love the look.
Inversion UI : not bad, but black on black on the ambient display (when screen is all B&W). Same in the Phone and contact app.
Greyce : No problem with it, but doesn't theme a lot of things. Just have some Grey on white menus on olds app I have. I'll stick on this one for a minimal black UI theming.
Update 8th feb : Contact and Phone is themed (keeping some white areas, but OK for me)
S.i.X themes : I tried even if not supported except Pure Nexus and S.i.X roms. Bootloop...
Paid themes :
I plan to test some of them and report here, starting with the ones compatible with 7.1.1.
Swift black : Reported as really good by @Exodusche . A lot of apps themed
Domination : Reported as really good by @Exodusche . Fewer apps themed, but accent colors
LoNe 4SuBs : seems to require OMS support. Waiting for the dev answer to see if it worth to be tested
Thanks for sharing your views on it if you already tried some of them.
Using Swift on Lineage based RR and it works pretty good. Notifications still have a White Background.

There is no choice I think. Or the ambient display can't show the texts or titles (black on black), or the notification stays white...
Do you have problems on contacts, phone, inbox or Gmail app? All blacked themed with swift?
Swift Black is incredible always being updated and has options for every ROM type also Domination both have never let me down usually ROM issue if so both apply pure black Domination has accent choices where swift does not but themes more like calendar and G maps etc
Lineage has OMS support?

Not really. Some are trying to extend that :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lineage/general/progress-support-oms-t3546841
But some themes devs make them compatible with it.
Ex from the swift black description :
Boost your stock rooted ROM with this pitch black theme for the Substratum theme engine. It fully supports Android 6, 7.0 and 7.1 / Google Pixel / OxygenOS 4 / LineageOS / OMS + it works without TBO Theme ready gapps! Please read the description below before using the theme.

And that's why sometimes, the contact app is an issue....

Did you apply all overlays? Does it not bootloop when applying the framework overlay?

Just bought it.
I choosed "V 7.1". Applied all and no bootloops.
I reopen most of themed apps and everything is OK.

I read that it doesn't theme framework to avoid bootloops.
What isn't themed? Notifications? Settings? Google?

Notification are slightly grey on the lockscreen, becomes white when expanded
Settings are black with Blue neon accent.
Google is themed
For example, Inbox : open the app, the message list is all black. When you open one, all the top is black but the message is on a white zone.
On contacts and phone, it's all black....

Only issues I've had with framework and swift black was Oxygen 3.1.4 but customs ROMs OMS, legacy (Non OMS) and OOS 3.1.3 no problems at all Domination and Compound pretty much the same
With Google plus yesterday's update, it crashes.
Had to reapply all and OK
oxygen os
my setup is oxygen os substratum theme, with oneplus 3 accents
I installed substratum and applied greyece and everything worked fine but after applying pixel theme theme stayed to greyece so I uninstalled overlay from overlay manager of substratum after that phone rebooted and stuck in boot screen...on using march03 (first build) of lineage is in zuk z1....anyway to use substratum???
Long pressing power button soft reboots. Also disabling the USB debugging allows it to boot, else just reboots & sticks on boot screen. Any recommendation?

Same here.
I boot to recovery/bootloader etc via the TWRP app.
Guys can you share a working substratum theme for OOS 4.0? Besides swift black. Clean locksreen is also partially working. Cant remove the time and date widget and also the clock.
Here's a screen shot of my lockscreen.

Don't apply system UI overlays, and you will be fine with most overlays
Hi,
I received notification for update to 7.1.2 ota.
I have seen some videos shown that 7.1.2 has circular app icons.
I am thinking to move or not to the update because I don't like at all the circular icons.
(I still have phone and messages apps not updated because of the circular buttons)
I prefer my device just like it is now.
Do you know if there is any setting to have the update but the UI to remain as it is?
Any other solution except to use another launcher?
Only the Pixel phones have circular icons, no need to worry.

Thanks for the reply.
I haven't updated my phone/messages/contacts apps from playstore and I wonder if applying the update will change these apps to the newest versions where the icons are circular.
Phone and messages icons that I don't want to change can be seen in the attached photo.

play store not have these things

What do you mean?
I mean caller app(phone), messages app, contacts app.
If you see the screenshot I have attached previously I am using the old ones.
In playstore there are updates (for me) which change icons about these specific apps.
Youtube is full of videos which show the new icons on 5X (no launcher).
Check in attached screenshots how the updated icons are but I haven't still updated.
(Also in update description it says <<new icons>>)

Yeah those are circles on all versions of Android, I don't know why you're so resistant to change of any kind, but you do you. The new dialer and message apps are much better than they were when they had the old icons.
But no, the update doesn't have updated versions of the apps.

it is possible to switch icon layout as you want
but a rooted device need with custom recovery
i can switch those icons root needed to do so
due to signature change and unsign apk
also launcher icons persist to change icon layout due to own icons
but they will also can change with custom ones without
changing the launcher custom recovery need
also check icon pack if you need so it is possible or not

Except the fact that I prefer the old icons (aesthetically), the previous time I updated these apps it made my contacts, calendar, pictures of contacts etc a mess...

Nova launcher does not require root and I'm sure there are a lot more if that is what you are needing. While I am rooted I do not believe I have to be for this setup. I downloaded an additional app called min icons for the icons.

Recent updated my S9+ to Pie & the icons are awful. I've looked through various options & none are simple icon changes. I've looked into creating a theme & only changing the icons (if I could source them) but Samsung don't allow non-creators to create themes or icon packs.
Is there a way we can install & change the icons back to the oreo ones without root / another launcher? At this point I'm ready to flash back to Oreo if it's not possible.
If anyone has the icons & a means to add them all as an install able Samsung theme you'd be a life saver.
Did you tried samsung themes?there are some pretty icon packs there.

I'm desperately looking for this as well. Did u got it somewhere else?
Try Pixel Icon Pack from the Play Store.
Have a look at the icons from Samsung directly in Galaxy Themes. The 2018 Olympic Games icon pack is very similar to the icons you get on Oreo.
similar but not quite ...
I also want the icon pack from the oreo high_contrast_theme_ii. they "updated" the theme with the awful pie icons. cant find it anyway.
Anyone find a solution yet?
