maybe i'm wrong but to run the standard android gui u can boot in safe mode?

yeah go into your timescape setting and uncheck it from being the homescreen

you are on a standard android home screen when you first start the x10.
there is very little customization.
remove the TS&MS icons and choose another wallpaper - the tiny lines on top and bottom will be the only difference to a milestone homescreen.
(except the blue backgrounds in the menus)

[Q] weather animations

Where did the weather animations go in windows 8 consumer preview? Can someone make a hack to bring it back

Mine are still there..

Do you have to change a setting? all I get is just pictures

Nope, they are just there by default.

Quick settings suddenly maroon?

So I turned my phone on yesterday and noticed that my quick settings changed color from grey to maroon. I didn't do anything to cause this and I don't think there's an app that controls quick settings color, I also did change the color mode or simulate colorblindness. I obviously don't want it to be maroon, anyone know what I can do to fix it or why this happened?

Maybe you activated the Power Saving Mode?

Are you running xposed and gravity box? Did you change your wallpaper?

The color changes by automatically picking up a color from your wallpaper. That's the most likely cause.

But my wallpaper changes daily and it remains maroon. Right now my wall paper is like an ocean theme and its still maroon.

I assume your wallpaper changes automatically. The color of the quick settings and launcher only changes when you manually change the wallpaper via the Mifavour launcher. I think using any other launcher or the wallpaper changing automatically does not change the color. Try changing the wallpaper through the MiFavor launcher settings and you'll be able to change the color of the quick settings. I've attached some samples too.

Is it possible to get it black? Would save some battery

No it doesn't, just gives you a gray theme if the wallpaper you select is fully black. Interesting thing I realized was that somehow the launcher measures the colors in the wallpaper and picks the one with the highest proportion, so if your wallpaper is multicolored, which will most likely be the case, the color most common will be picked and not a random one.

I use this app to get true black notification shade:

It also allows you to add and remove tiles.

Substratium not working

Anyone able to get substratium to work on sd note 9?
I am just trying to theme the stock messaging app so that the text box will be black. Is there a stand alone overlay apk that can do the same?
Textra is not an option since I loose some functionality of my gear s2.
Edit: I forgot to run the andromedia pc plugin to get it going. Everything is working now.

I have Subs working on my Vzw n9.
I have changed my Nav bars, fonts and a few apps so far.

interesting. I keep getting verification errors on substratium.
Systemui tuner + good lock 2018 has taken care of everything except the messages app.

Does your phone have to be unlocked to use it? I got mine from sprint I want to change the navi bar color so bad

Systemui tuner in playstore has that built in. No root required but you do need to run a couple of adb commands.

Is not working for me either. Note 9 on VZW. how did you get it to work?

Did you run Andromeda from a pc?

I did and didn't work the first time. However I figured it out. I used smart switch to restore from my note 8 and Andromeda was working funny. Uninstall and reinstall fixed the problem.
Thank you

Only some things are working for me. The settings and phone apps aren't. It colours them if i select android 8.1 pixel or nexus but not the samsung option. Using swift black btw

And go To développer settings To enable USB debug mode.

Pitchblack Samsung is running on my note 9 using subsrtatum alone. A bit of a pain because Android permissions ask permission to install per overlay, but working 100% here without Andromeda. I have the US Xfinity Mobile Note 9.

So settings overlays using Samsung swift doesn't work. Doesn't it crash if you use another phone type?

Settings overlay just wouldn't work no matter what settings or device type I tried. I did however get the UI and some apps themed.
I didn't really see a big difference compared to the samsung theme i'm using right now + ADB navbar colour change so i stuck with that. Haven't decided on an icon pack yet.
Attached some screenshots.

Looks alright actually. So, you're using a standard Samsung theme with adb navbar mod or are you using parts of swift substratum and adb navbar mod?
I'm currently using swift dark, the bits that work on the note 9, with wings substratum to shade out slightly my black navbar icons and slightly reduce the ( grey color ) of my status bar icons. Oh, and also system ui tuner was used for my black navbar. So all in all , system ui tuner, swift and wings substratum used here.

I dropped substratum all together. I'm now using:
- Good Lock 2018 for notification drop down and notification shade
- MINU Black_Edition V2 Samsung theme for the overall black skin
- ADB Navbar Colour Change
- System UI tuner for immersive mode toggle
Still deciding on icons though..

Unfortunately not. I mostly use it to ensure it's black with my Gboard when typing since I use immersive mode. Apps like Chrome that apply a colour overlay will override ADB.
I assume substratum is the only way from small testing.. Even overlay apps like "Navbar Apps" don't keep everything black unfortuntely.

Mine stays black 90 % of the time. Although I have this issue recently using Google recently.

Anyway to change icons & icon size on recents?

Mildly infuriating me that I've got my icons perfect size & using the LineX icon pack but whenever I go on to the recents page I have the standard icons which are also huge, any ideas?

It was a sore eye for me to see different sizes too so I turned off suggested apps, go to the 3 dots menu then settings from the recent page.

Yeah it sucks, I did turn off suggested apps briefly but I actually find them useful, hopefully a workaround is found or something, thanks for the suggestion though!
