Substratum Questions - LG G7 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Hey guys, I have Substratum Lite installed on Pie rooted, and in the overlay manager it shows all of my overlays are incompatible and not active, however they work fine. Does anyone know if I'm doing something incorrectly?

What Substratum themes are compatible with Sultans Nougat release?

Hello, I recently flashed Sultans Nougat rom and after some problems with some of Substratums themes bootlooping I now wonder what black(amoled) Substratum themes are working for you guys? I asume that I am not the only one that really want this rom + Substratum. Share what you have found working and not working.

Swift dark and black will work.
Check Google for substratum legacy themes
I also reccomend Swift Black (my current theme).
You would stay quiet if your rom include OMS, that's a framework layer which improve Substratum theme support.
Ps be careful that you may encounter FC when app updates are massively involving the interface.
In that case consider to re-enable theme or disable it until next update.

OMS Support in android O

So, installing substratum in O DP4 asks you for root, when allowed, in substratum settings, substratum appears installed and it says the rom supports OMS, but I can't apply fonts in substratum, so then, the rom hasn't got full oms support. Any way to fix this? Or i'm missing something? this seems curious

I believe substratum supports android O, it's just that most themes aren't updated yet. Could be different for fonts so hopefully someone else can weigh in?
For instance, I have Dark Accents for O and Swift Dark installed. Dark Accents for O works on the system ui and everything, but Swift Dark does not. Swift Dark themes some apps properly, but not all. It's using OMS, but I don't think there's many themes supporting O yet

It's weird, in nougat I could install fonts, in O, I can't. I really don't know why

maybe something changed. I can't find much discussion on substratum for O anywhere online, so hopefully someone can weigh on this

Substratum support on Xperia ROMs?

Hey guys, I have an old Xperia XA living around, and I'm planning to root it soon and use substratum themes with Sony's ROM, but I'm confused if it's even substratum compatible or not.
Please let me know, thanks.

I don't think so. I don't know exactly how it works. I don't think it's quite like Xposed, where there needs to be a special framework in place, (since many Substratum themes do work on Los14, which is not officially supported), but I think there does need to be a compatible environment, similar to or based on AOSP. I think Xperia has it's own version of theming framework. For example, many of the files that control the UI on an Xperia are named 'somc_(something)'. Those files are specific to Sony phones, so a different theme engine wouldn't by default have any references to them.
However, I've never tried...
Is not working. You won't see any changes
Update: I know this is old and you might figured out but I will say this for others :
Substratum is working on Xperia ROMs but you need to use legacy theme, and some themes may break your systemUI but you can recover easy using twrp and others would not do anything at all. But I found ones that are working.
So: Find theme that supports legacy devices (rooted devices) and if your device doesn't start go to twrp file manager /data/apps and find the code name of the selected overlay: ex (themename.systemui...) Or something like this

So, for theming the systemUI I used only Grace UX. I used Navbars to change my system navigation bar and it seems to work, not only with that but with every theme that allows you to change system navbar. They don't crash your SystemUI. You can use themes to change your settings menu, not all work just some of them.
I have only installed:
Galaxy Evolution - Not working with the SystemUI
GraceUX - Everything works
Navbars which is working
I might test other themes and give you a feedback if you want
hello again...can you give me the link of the theme you use ?? (Grace UX)I can not find it thanks
also i test many themes on substratum theme engine and nothing happend.

Substratum Themes for Pie

Hi guys.
Anyone know any substratum themes for oneUI pie.
Currently using the aospUI black theme. Works with stock samsung, needs to have sungstratum mode enabled though, to use the legacy install method since OMS is only available with root. There's a gray and a white version of the theme as well IIRC.
