Which themes work on our 5t with substratum? - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Since the relevant thread has recently been deleted, could people please share their theming set-up with substratum?
Would not only be interesting to know which themes you guys use but also which parts thereof (not) to activate given that bootloops seem to be only one false click away.
Thanks!

Swift Black saves pixels and looks awesome on this device. You'll need root to use substratum on Nougat but assuming you knew that already.

No, wasn't aware of this, thanks! I suppose it's advised to keep the oms section off given that it's not supported on oos? Is there any way to theme notifications black as well?

Never had reliable consistency with that in the past so I didn't both trying that with this phone. Everything themes black perfectly. I leave the SystemUI alone and let the notifications come in default white.

From my experiences with Substratum on this phone, leave SystemUI and Android system alone. All 3rd party apps can be themed. So for Swift Black what you might wanna do is theme the apps and then change the system theme internally in settings to dark and then you basically got the full theme

Black/Dark Theme Pixel Launcher

Anyone know of a true black/dark theme for the pixel Launcher. Not talking about a theme for the whole phone, asking specifically about the swipe up all apps page, Google bar and app folders on the home screen. Even on phones that support substratum like the 6p I can't seem to find a single theme that makes the Pixel Launcher have an all black back ground with white text. I have no idea why Google is so scared of the dark.. just got the OnePlus 3T... Supports black background everywhere by default. Just turn it on... Anyways, rant here if you feel the frustration.

Does this also theme the Google page when you swipe to the right? First page with content from Google?

Hi all,
Is there any free substratum theme for Black/Dark Pixel launcher?

Lineage 14.1 Substratum themes

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.

Had to reapply all and OK

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?

Battery was something I wondered about too. Using Substratum w Swift Dark...no battery hit at all.
The best thing about substratum is you get rid of the god awful white settings, HTC themes don't do that well none I found did.
The aospUI is the one I use myself too, it came up as a freebie not sure if it still is

Probably most of us go the root way for substratum that is the reason why probably no body hasn't answer your question, andromeda is only for a non rooted device or non rooted implementation of substratum

With Andromeda, you need to run one of the scripts from the OP of this thread on your desktop any time you want to modify the Substratum theme on your phone
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/andromeda-desktop-clients-release-notes-t3668682
OR if you are rooted and still running Andromeda,
you can run the script from this thread in a terminal emulator on your phone, which is kinda nice

Only possibility to theme HTC dialer is using HTC theme engine. You could e.g. build your own dark HTC theme and combine it with a Substratum theme, to obtain dark dialer and dark statusbar as well as settings menu.

Advice for Substratum black theme on stock rooted 8.1

Hi guys,
I've been using the AOSPUI black theme on my Nexus 6P and it worked fine on Nougat.
I now have a Pixel 2 XL on stock rooted Oreo 8.1. The same theme behaves in a weird way and some pop-up windows and the power menu have black on black text. I reached out to the dev and he says it should work properly but I can't seem to be able to make it work.
Now I'm looking for another black theme that works flawlessly on stock rooted. Found a few but need some advice, so would you get:
- Swift black,
- Pi Dark,
- Flux,
- something else?
I need a black theme where EVERYTHING works. Free themes are also welcome.
Thanks!

Swift Black works for me very well. But the first time you install a theme, you can run into weird problems because the theme hasn't been updated for the newest version of the Google apps yet.
When I did a clean install last week, Swift Black wouldn't theme my Google app. An update a few days later fixed this.
So I disable automatic updates and wait for a Swift Black update after the apps which I have themed are updated. This way it alsways works with Swift Black.
But to theme GBoard, you need to read the FAQ (some manual steps are required).
Hope that helps.

Domination is another outstanding black theme that gets updated regularly. Also, keep in mind that it's ok to use overlays from different themes on certain apps while your waiting for theme updates should your base theme not work on a particular app :good:

Like I said above, the only overlay that gives me trouble is the "Android system" one. If I activate it (black with Pixel accent colors), my pop-up windows are black on black and my power menu blue on blue, i.e. I can't see any text. It's odd, it worked well on Nougat.
Edit: I wonder if it's the automatic (and stupid) day/night mode from Oreo that's being a PITA? Because my current wallpaper is dark and it triggers the dark mode for some stuff. Why did Google add this and not a toggle to enable/disable it?!

I think the only elements that are affected by the wallpaper theme (auto dark/light mode) are quick settings and notification bar.

It also themes the power menu, which is one of the areas that don't get themed properly. I also switched to a light wallpaper and all my QS were gone (probably black on black again)! Something is definitely fishy on Oreo :/

I don't have the issue you describe using Swift Black for system.
Same here, I'm 100% stock using swift black and couldn't be happier. No issues at all.
I'm guessing Swift Black is the winner here!
About the power menu, it's actually the advanced power menu that isn't themed properly (the one added by Gravity Box through Xposed). And also random pop-up windows like when I'm connecting a Bluetooth device.
I use Spectrum as my main theme. Domination is my second theme and is used to theme apps that Spectrum doesn't, such as XDA Labs. It also is used for the Google apps when Spectrum can't theme the app, though that can be hit or miss. For example, Photos cannot be changed to black by either theme at the moment.
Google seems to update their apps every other day, which gives the themers headaches. Of course, in Android P it may all end up being moot.
PitchBlack is my go theme... Updates regularly and plenty options..

Are you creating the modules then rebooting before applying? Since March update that's what you need to do. The modules will show up after rebooting.

I'm creating the overlays using the "build & update" option then rebooting and applying them. If you don't reboot, they don't show up in the Substratum manager.
Right now, I'm waiting to get a payment from Rewards so I can buy one theme or two. We'll see.

Not according to this...
https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/23/17045944/android-phone-dark-mode-update-promised
(apparently they did it accidentally once, but it was unintentional, and so put it back to only having a light mode).
That said, apparently lots of users liked it, so you never know, they might bring one out,
(and this article suggests that this may indeed be happening...)
https://thenextweb.com/apps/2018/02/23/google-android-dark-mode-night/
But currently it doesn't exist yet on the mobile version of google chrome. (so don't waste your time looking for a setting for it, as it isn't there)
