I've recently noticed this trying to apply substratum themes since i updated to Android Pie. None of the overlays compiles or applies. No overlays in manager either. Most times compiling does not even give any errors. I've tried most themes that claim Android 9.0 support.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue?

Ah. Yeah version 1001 doesn't work on the P2XL. Uninstall the one you have, reboot, then use the one in the link. Also, when you build your overlays, select "build and update" then reboot, then enable them in substratum manager. Pitch Black works great. Be careful with the others especially when themeing system and system UI, they can shut your UI down. Pitch Black works on everything though :good:

Same here as well.
Android 9 rooted
Flash kernel.
Substratum v1001
Multiple themes don't work. They appear to apply but the apps are not themed.
Working for me, Pie, Magisk v17.1, Flash Kernel, using Substratum v998. Are you doing Build and Enable, then rebooting, then toggling the overlay state? I'm using Ethereal for System (Pie support) and Swift Dark for some apps.

1001 working correctly here, on top of it being themed. 998 worked correctly here even when themed, so substratum itself likely isn't the issue. What theme are you using?
yeah im using 1001 fine aswell but 998 worked with a restart and 1001 doesnt even need a restart anymore. Try PitchBlack
Just updated from 998 to 1001, so far everything working as expected.. lets hope it stays that way!

In December I installed MaximusHD ROM and Substratum. I tried out multiple theme packs and settings until I'm not getting bootloop nor constant "Settings has stopped working." error. Before every changes I had to do TWRP restoring backup to get rid of bootloop.
I know HTC 10 original ROM is flawed so not really compatible with Substratum. I would like to know if anyone has some working setting that one would be so kind to share. Thanks in advance!

Any system overlay that you apply with substratum WILL crash, since stock sense does not have the necessary OMS commits. This also applies for the settings overlay. Rest are fine i guess.

You need to "compile & active" your favorite theme 5-10 times. It's like gambling ??

Confirmed: March update breaks Substratum on rooted stock Rom's and custom ROM's with OMS
____________________________________________________________
Hi guys,
I updated yesterday my Pixel (March Security Update & Pixel 2016) and after setting up I want to use the Swift Dark Theme (Center Clock for O don't work too). So Substratum compile everything without problem and after a reboot still everything white. Someone else have problems with Substratum?
Confirmed. It did break Substratum on a stock non-rooted phone. Not sure if the rooted ones still work. Hopefully the Substratum team will fix it soon.

No problems here on rooted (Magisk v16) stock. I did have to apply the themes about 6-8 at a time, or I had issues like those described in the OP.

Thanks man
Build and enable overlays..reboot..go back in to subs and select enable and Bam!! Took me a while of playing with it the last two days but this "seems" to work
Apply the theme.
Reboot.
Go back to Substratum (bind with andromeda if not rooted).
Apply the same theme again.
Mostly works!!
Reboot.
Enable again in Substratum.
All works!!
Note: Am on stock unrooted.

It actually is just a bug with Package installer in the March update.
Many people approached us and thinks this is a big problem.
Instead of constantly Building and Applying...
1. Install all overlays you plan to use (Build and Update)
2. Reboot
3. All overlays installed before the reboot can be enabled/disabled. If you build and compile again, a reboot will update it.
NOTE: Building overlays and installing them IS NOT the fix. Please do not spread that fix.

Nobody gave up on it, it died when cm died and Lineage haven't resurrected it...
@nicholaschum - apart from reverting the two commits (in six files) and building from source so that rebooting isn't necessary again, has a simpler alternative been found?
There were mentions of a couple of fixes in the designers chat but there were no references.

Just need to revert one file and one line only. You don't have to revert the security patch.
Seems like a lot of developers believe tampering with what a security patch committed is such a big deal. If they actually read the code, a one liner is easily doable.

Thanks @nicholaschum, that's sorted it - no reboot necessary now :good:
I am facing so many issues.
Microphone not working, phone getting restarted frequently and hangs.
This is happening only after March update and the pixel team does not have a fix yet. Can't call this a flagship service. Customer service is very much cool and calm after thousands of pixels are almost dead for a few days till now.
No response from Google yet.

Hey everyone
I just installed the December security patch.
Now that I have installed substratum, I can't find the installed overlays in the Overlay Manager. Tried themes like Swift dark and other themes. It still doesn't work.
Also I've updated the magisk manager to version 18.0 today.
Anyone facing the same issue with their device?
I'm using Pixel 2 XL
SOLVED: New substratum update available on play store.

Substratum is not compatible with the new Magisk 18. As far as I know, a new version is worked on right now. You either have to wait or use Magisk 17.3.

I just can't stand the white pages everywhere; it drives me both blind and crazy, so I'll stick to 17.3 for the time being.
Yeah I can confirm latest Magisk 18 breaks Substratum, so either stay on 17.3 or deal with being blinded by white backgrounds. Tbh I'm really surprised Google hasn't managed to figure out a way to actually turn all white backgrounds either grey or black, Samsung a has actually done it before them with the new OneUI lol
Shame on you Google.

This explains the difficulties I was having getting some overlays to work. Thank you
Try flashing Magisk 18 in the Magisk manager app itself instead of in twrp, I was having problems gaining root until I did that. I'm currently on ver 18 with Substratum working.
There is a new update available for substratum on the Google play. I hope this resolves the issue.
Edit: It's working fine now.

Thats how I installed mine and Substratum still broke.
Anyways that's a moot point now, new Substratum release on Play Store fixes the problem.

Even with Substratum taken out of the equation, I was having problems getting root with Magisk 18 until I flashed within Magisk app and chose recommended install option.
I'm on December update, have latest substratum after fresh install of latest update from Google. Magisk 17.1
I can compile a theme and they all show. When I restart and then try and change overlay state, it tells me to compile first ??!! Any idea

Having trouble with certain overlays not installing since updating to January patch, worked before with Substratum 1015 and Magisk 18 but now having issues again. No Swift Black overlays I'm using work, most but not all of my PBO overlays are being applied.
Anyone any info or getting the same?

Do you have the substratum magisk module installed? If so, then delete the module and substratum app, reboot then authorize them both again.

No I've never used the Magisk module before now and everythings worked okay ? will try using the module see if it helps. Thanks for replying.
The module is not for Oreo or later but uninstalling and reinstalling substratum helped with the PBO theme but appears Swift Black is still borked. At least I've found the culprit.
Hey,

Nothing seems to be working for me. It build and installs the overlay but I see no change.

Use magisk 17.3 and substratum 1010. It should work. (Ofcourse with root)
works perfectly here swift black and pitch black theme. build and enable then reboot goto manager tab and enable all thats it.
That's for the help veryone! I've never used substratum before this, it's all working now
Any other recommendations for themes that work on pie OOS?
