Has anyone tried Substratum w/Andromeda plugin after Oreo update? - Moto Z2 Play Questions & Answers

Well, that's the question. I'm gathering some credits trough Google Rewards and i'm pretty interested in buying the Substratum extension made for Android Oreo. But first i want to know if someone has tried the app in this phone to avoid some useless purchase. Something that i miss from my old Moto X Style is the customization. I could root this thing to do it without any plugin but so far i'm not interested in rooting and all that.

I didn't find any replacements..
I think if You dont wanna root Your phone You should buy Andromeda rootless backend - support devs, because it works.

I'm currenly using the Andromeda... It does work but with some errors n doesn't work well with all themes...

I've got something to show..

Thanks guys. I'll buy it anytime soon then.

I have been using it on 0.8 Verizon edition with no probs, sais oreo theme is a pretty good dark theme.

I am using it. Everything was working until the most recent security update for oreo. Although it may have been me updating my theme, which i did after the security update.
I can't stand all the ads on this phone. Ugh.

I use it with stock Oreo 8.0.0. No issues.
Black theme (forgot the name but it is the most popular one) is nice for the notification bar and settings menu.

Which theme is that?

Its working fine, I'm experiencing no lags.
Black looks beautiful and being AMOLED saves battery also.

Notification issue
The Default Dark Theme works except for some notifications that keep having dark text on dark background (see first notification on the attached image). Is there any way to fix that? My device is not rooted.

I am currently using a pitch black theme that is called Sai's Oreo Theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=baka.sai.oreo&hl=en

I`ve been using Default Dark from F-Droid. Basically switches the Phones/Contacts/Settings/QSettings etc to dark.
The app has one annoyance to it cause you got to connect the phone to the pc if you want to use substratum.
The good stuff is that applied theme survives reboot, so it`s not so bad in the end.

Hey guys, just made this theme, for personal usage really, and decided to share.
If anyone wants it converted to another rom (ADP, ect) just ask.

EDIT: it also has a custom boot screen, that i think you'd find particularly interesting
EDIT 2: forgot to add disclaimer!
as usual, you can not hold me responsible for any damages or ect.. i have tried and tested the update.zip 5 times before distributing, and it has worked each time. if you experience any troubles, please feel free to ask here (although you shouldn't encounter any!)
EDIT 3: updated with compressed version [link already updated]
I really like the fact that it uses the default icons for the apps! Then new apps downloaded don't look out of place at all. Thats one of the main reasons I don't have a theme right now but you may have just changed my mind! Thanks for this

Same here. I used all the default icons, i only changed the home screen really. I think the other themes are really over doing the changes.

I don't mind all the changing of all the little things but the apps kinda bugs me. Maybe I'm just ocd like that but I just like things to match & flow together. I have bettercut now so it helps but its not the same.
Very well put
Have you installed the theme to your phone yet? (just curious to see feedback on the boot screen haha)

Actually I just bought dxTop so I don't know that I'll be installing themes anytime soon. I think I'll try my hand at skinning that & then see what happens from there. Would it be alright if I tried skinning it using your theme? I really like the blue
Be my guest
Sweet thanks!
no problem

I was wondering, I like your "android root" screen but is there anyway to keep your theme (which is great) and get the glowing robot one back?

Themes: Will they look different on the 10?

Aside from the stickers which don't interest me, will themes look different on the 10? Or exactly the same as on the m8, m9?
I was particularly interested in the 'switches' in settings, the Quick Tiles, and the contacts/dialer.
I've only seen video of the stickers so far. Not a single reviewer seems to have tried a theme and then moved around the UI.
The UI has changed quite a bit. The strings menu now comes in the known and nearly stock Android look and contact pictures on the list view of the respective App are round instead of squares to name some of them.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Labs
Well I was sad to get a reply on reddit from a dude with the phone saying the themes don't change the colors/switches in the settings menu. See here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/4hi77y/just_got_my_htc_10/
Wish themes changed things like status bar icons, I'm not a big fan of Sense Wifi icons lol
Yes petty but im way too used to stock.
Regardless HTC's theme engine as I thought, looks lackluster in comparison to say Touchwiz's, which changes more elements of the UI e.g. menu's, notifcation tray etc

Well @sykopompos said this a while back in the google+ layers community...
"If any of you run across marshmallow OEM roms (not nexus or Android one, these are aosp) or get one for your device (I know the g4 has one out there), post them up.
Make a dump of the system, if you don't know how, just ask (be prepared to use adb)
Since layers works on stock marshmallow natively, it should work on any OEM marshmallow rom (besides cm obviously) and chances are high that the resources might be different and themes could be made/modified to work with these OEM Roms.
We are only interested in marshmallow Roms though since they will have full native support and the changes Google made in marshmallow."
Hopefully somebodys needs to get him a dump!

So we need to get a system dump, give it to him, and hope it looks promising
EDIT: what @King p1n said lol

Substratum with no Root!

I know it might still have a few bugs but so far for the most part it's working great! In addition for substratum to work you need to download an Add on.
Test it out and let us know what themes are working! So far I'm using Swift dark
( Please read carefully how it get it to work)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.sungstratum
Yeah I just got mine setup today with Swift Black! My advice is to make sure you do one app at a time. Some apps I had to try a few times for some reason. Also, I've found that at least Swift Black did not theme beta versions of apps.
What is the purpose of this app, if you dont mind my lack of knowledge?

I believe this version is for Samsung, there another version other devices by same developer so go to app store and check the devs other apps.

Theme Galaxy Theme-BWG

Hello :
Please understand im not a themer but I like tweaking this beast so...
Ive worked painstakingly on this for months. I mean months. For those who know theme galaxy is fabulous. But getting it down packed digging deep into the features to get your s**t the way you want it . Wow. Many hair pulling episodes and sleepless nights. Fellow tweakers understand. But id work with it for days... weeks.. then give up... wait a couple of weeks.. months maybe. But I didn't delete the app. It was just there in the back of my mind. Literally lol. Like id think of how to tame it. Take courage and try again. Everytime I thought I had it... some menu id forgotten.... or some other crap would pop up. At first id leave it. In some cases it was just a minor defect in only a few areas. Like not being able to see text or icons. But that too bugged me to be figured out.
This is what I came up with. I may be open to answering questions in between the busy schedule... or maybe you tweak it and take it further or different. Up to you. Btw you MUST have theme galaxy on your phone. I donated but don't know how this will come out on the phones of those who haven't.
Take no credit for that app.... THEME GALAXY.....btw isn't that developer incredible?!! I've understood the genius actually now that I know how to use it. Props @@ sathishtony. His work can be found here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-themediy-samsung-galaxy-s8-s7-s6-j-t3685010
BUT I did pull this theme together using it as I think he intended. Enjoy.
I Take no responsibility if your phone blows up. But it shouldn't
Btw - BWG= black white and gray. Duh. :silly:

I have spent endless hours with themegalaxy myself. You did a great job. Swift Black with Substratum since the Oreo update is really hard to beat though. Not nearly as much time and since I don't have to do the computer thing anymore it's gravy.
Thanks. My first theme actually.
I have to check out the substratum again. That sounds much simpler than all I went thru for this lol
But part of me secretly likes the tinkerers struggle.
They have added a bunch of Samsung related overlays, and continue to dial it in a couple times a week. I hear you on the tinkering. I built free and premium themes for the Note 4 til I finally upgraded. Now everything is so locked tight that it just isn't even worth messing with. Some days I'm tempted to sell my Note 8 just to get out from under the payments and go back to my S7 Edge as soon as the Oreo update hits.
Thanks. I used substratum months ago and it didn't like my phone or something I did so i just deleted. Will give it a go again. AND i know who I'll be asking for tips.
I like the theme i did in TG but there are so many areas i can't get to with it.. or haven't figured it out yet and have given up.
Yeah pretty soon i think you won't be able to modify any of the phones. Security concerns cited smh

Updated it some. Worked some text visibility issues out. Changed some colors around so the accent and main color is more graphite than grey. Think it's as close to perfect as it's going to get unless I notice issues.
Hey if anyone else created some cool themes feel free to share them.
Nice work brother.
Thanks!

Graphite system UI
Hello:
Could anyone that's tried these tell me if they showed all system areas properly? When I first created each I shared the apks to my wife's s9 and they worked fine with just minor imperfections ... but when I lost my files I just downloaded these and they look totally wonky now.
How can it be uninstalled?
I dont see it in apps list.

I think you'd need the project file from themegalaxy of let's say one of my themes and compile it/save it using the app on your own phone for it to work properly. Using the APks I've created I notice its hit or miss with installation .
Download link for project file of my latest dark ui theme. Import this into theme galaxy then build/ install into samsung themes. I used just regular black wallpaper... and tha black icon pack found in Google play. Don't know if the project file includes these so just in case.

Oh sweet. Mind sharing?
I actually just bought the OnePlus 6T so right now I can't theme at all.
This is the thing that I concocted. I might be available to addressing inquiries in the middle of the bustling calendar... or on the other hand perhaps you change it and take it further or unique. Up to you. Btw you MUST have subject cosmic system on your telephone. I gave however don't have the foggiest idea how this will turn out on the telephones of the individuals who haven't.

Question Any root way for amoled black?

Hello geeks,
I'm sick and tired of this so called "dark", ugly Grey color. Is there any way to go black? I mean the real amoled black we been used to in a decade.
I'm rooted and tried Flux, swift, and many other substratum themes but they don't work on this android 13 thing.

Flux has Android 13 support so not sure why it's not working for you. So do Liv Dark, Iris and Iris Monet, amongst others. Also, you should be using Substratum Lite rather than Substratum, if you aren't.
Man, you're a real dog. You saved my time. The lite thing just worked. Thank you so much
Could someone please point me in the direction of the substratum lite for my stock, rooted, P6P A13.
A search on XDA produced hundreds of pages, but I am unable to tell which apply to me, and the Substratum hub is all about Oreo and older.
This would be my first venture into themes and I would like to learn more.
Thanks

Here is the Substratum Lite app.
There are several themes you can use on A13, as mentioned above. Search Play Store for themes such as Liv Dark, Flux, Iris, Iris Monet, etc.. For others you will have to search on Telegram.
You can use AOSP mod. This is the way !
aosp mod.project themer .
Does it work on stuck Tom thou?
i am on stock.so yes.
Project themer work perfect on A13 (playstore)
Maybe not what you're looking for but here's for black wallpaper: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mangino.android.No_Wallpaper
