Hey there. For those who want a system wide dark theme with a LOT of apps themed, Swift Installer actually works on Oreo Samsung Experience.
It's on the Google Play Store. It's paid but it's really good. Basically every popular app is themed.

And I will say more ?, there are Swift Black and Swift Minimal Substratum themes, which can be mixed with other themes like Yoru…
One word Substratum is more Adjustable

Im running Swift Installer together with Substratum.
I combine with Yoru, Samsung System Mods and Victory, never had any problems.
I just do the Swift Installer first installing everything I want/have to use, then I choose some tweaks and theming from the other Substratum modules.
I know there is a warning in Swift Installer about this, but I have never had any problems.
Sometimes I also combine with Swift Black, if let's say there is an update for Insta or Snap i Play Store, I use whatever overlay witch is updated first.
Never had problems... :laugh:

Unfortunately, no. You need to be rooted to use substratum to theme 9.0. Why it was changed from 8.1 by google is hard to say. Guess they just like blinding white UI's

cant the substratum/andromeda devs do something about it .. ?
seriously not even the dark theme within the settings makes the ui dark, it only themes the qs section.
scre* google..

I understand your frustration my friend. Don't take my word for it. Here's what one of the best theme makers has to say on the matter.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...p-clients-release-notes-t3668682/post77704639
So now that Substratum is working with Android 10 what themes are you guys using? I've tried Spectrum and Swift Black, but they still seem to have some quirks. To be expected at this stage of the game but I was wondering if any of you have found others that work better.
See attached screenshot, swift black is not compatible with Android 10 framework but a lot of the 3rd party apps are. I use it to fill in the gaps from Ethereal theme. Outline X is an extension to Ethereal.

Like mentioned above.. Swift black works well for all apps, but it hasn't been updated to theme the system UI.
Pitch Black just updated recently and supports Android 10 framework!! so i got that going again! my favorite theme.
Now just waiting for Sprite to get updated for Android 10.

Hi,
I don't use it as much as I used to on previous Android versions, but if you want a black theme with regular updates, try "Domination" from @davidwilson83 ?
Q stock is supported. But if errors occur, David usually answer emails pretty fast by the way.

Hey,
Glad to help.
I'm quite happy with this theme. My only concern was that it colors the settings icon in a single color. And Boom, Q came out and settings are black! Problem solved! ?

Try Swift Installer instead of Swift Black with Substratum Lite. Works perfectly fine on Android 10.

Right,everything works within......All black :laugh:
Is root required for Subs on Pixel devices these days? I know non-root use to be a thing but if memory serves it went away around the time Pie was released.
Root is needed. Substratum used to work rootless with Andromeda but no longer on the latest Android versions any more (AFAIK).
Indeed... As I thought... Andromeda works only on Android Orio... So root will be needed. With root the Substratum overlays become mapped as /system apps.
And even with root, it might just NOT work on Android 12.
Substratum Lite works on Android 12. Using Liv Dark on it now.

Yeah that is 1 of the themes that is making me consider root so I can use it lol. There was another one I can't remember the name right now but looked pretty awesome. I love custom themes and being able to switch them up after a while so I may end up rooting. Not saying the material you background theming isn't a vastly better option than most phones have but I like things a little more customized.

What substratum themes are working for people?
Swiftblack isn't supported yet and some elements of Liv Dark crash for me.
Would love a working AMOLED black theme for all system and apps, inclusive of Google, if possible

How are you doing with the official updates with your phone rooted?
Iris is working great for me. All the major Gapps like photos, phone, contacts, keep etc are all themed properly as well.

Using Iris Monet, definitely recommend it if you still want Material You to work and not have to go into substratum and change and install overlays all the time if you say want to change your settings accents color, notification shader icon accents etc

Yes you need root. There is a thread on here about how to unlock, root, etc. This thread should be similar:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-root-pixel-5-android-12.4187609/
Too complicated for my brand new phone, hopefully appears a way to do it without root

Hey,
I tried to search here but didn't find anything.
Does the regular Substratum theme engine work on Android 12.1 on the Pixel 6 Pro? It seems like development for Substratum stopped a while ago but I hope we can still use it!
Thanks!
I know substratum lite works. I used to use livdark theme
I might move to the lite version then.
But I guess not many people care about Substratum anymore eh?

Should I get Repainter or Project Themer on Android 13? It seems like they're doing the same thing?

Alright, thanks.
How much is Repainter though? Because on the Play Store, it says "In-app purchases - €3.94 - €9.85 per item". 9.85 seems quite expensive.

I think it's $3.99 a year or $9.99 for lifetime in USD. Other countries prices vary. It has a 3 day trial so you can test it out.
Oops, forgot to reply here!
Repainter is too expensive for me. I might go with Project Themer. Is it compatible with 13 though?

I found Substratum lite would no longer apply themes, so I used standard Substratum, with Swift Black. Also using Repainter and Project Themer, all for different things

I also use regular Substratum with Swift Black for apps. It seems to work fine.
But I'd like to theme the system UI / framework black and not dark grey as it is from Google. Can I do that with Project Themer? I don't think I can with Swift Black because it hasn't been updated for 13.

Me too, a few overlays from Swift dark (whatsapp, instagram); they still work fine on A13.
Substratum theme that works on A13/A12 AOSP(tested myself)

Iconic Icons-- Status bar/Qs icon changer
Kodansha-- Best one so Far
Flux Series

no its not, its just a stupid system themer, like Iris Monet. What we need is Swift Black for Android 12+ but until then we have to find COMPETENT alternatives, not glorified system ui themers
