Hi guys
I've decided to give layers a go but for the life of me I can't get it to work. When I apply my overlays I am promoted to reboot. After I reboot nothing... No theme, no overlays nothing.
Does this work on the stock ROM 6.01?
Are there specific themes that will work?
Am I doing this wrong?

I am using Milos UI, it looks great. When prompting for reboot inside layers manager app, don't reboot from there, just manually reboot. It worked for me..
I'm using layers on my moto G with Krexus ROM. Can someone confirm that layers is compatible with the stock 6.01 rom.
The link posted above had people talking about custom ROMs so I'm still in doubt

Yes its compatible but it is missing some commits and due to that some themes likes magpie, coalesce, etc won't be able to change colors.

Nope needs masquerade
It works on DP5 and It works on latest 7 . But it works as legacy for now. Check the Google plus substratum page to find answers about legacy.
But yes, it works, i use it myself

I'm having the same issue...What kernel are you guys using? Is permissive required?
You need to delete vendor/overlay if you previously tried installing Layers. This is what fixed it for me.

Hey man, I saw you had Coalesce and Figlio. I was actually trying to decide which one of those to buy and try for Nougat. If you don't mind, which one do you prefer? Or think works better with N?
Guys N just dropped some most Substratum themes are not working perfectly on N. They can be used but everything won't work perfectly. Also since we are on stock rom we are using Substratum Legacy you need a custom ROM with the oms commits in order to get Masquerade and since N just dropped there aren't any at the moment

Came here to say this. Non of the themes are really compatible with N yet. I tried about a dozen different ones. Ran into issues with apps force closing after applying themes. I had a few crash Documents, a few that would crash settings when you go to change certain settings. Give it a little bit for the themes to update. Might have to wait for the factory images to go live for the 6P. All in all, substratum does work in legacy mode so you need to reboot after changes are applied. Just note that you may run into errors and FC's.
Deity theme works in legacy mode with no issues, using theme ready gapps though
I've just come from Dirty Unicorns and Pure Nexus on a 6P, and I've loved substratum for theming my phone. But... OOS would be legacy, I understand. Has anyone tried Subs on OP5, any recommendations? I've also seen a Magisk module for making legacy systemless. Anyone tried it? I don't feel like boot looping my new phone!
Also if I'm just rooted, can I install themes like swift black?
Don't use Substratum on OOS, rooted or not, I tried it and ended up having to restore the backup I'd made after it caused all sorts of complications, my advice? Wait for the custom roms to start appearing.

Thank you for saving me all sorts of trouble.
I tried "Navigate" to configure the navbar. Works without issues. But i wouldn't apply system wide themes. Like @djsubterrain said.
With root you can apply themes system wide that support OOS (I think only swift dark and black right now)
I did and it's working fine, full black apps and system.
If you're paranoid then you can just theme apps and use built in themer to make system black or white.
Does anyone tried ozone substratum?
im rooted and with sustratum working fine, im using swift black and inversion themes.

Yeah... I was always able to theme via substratum on all of my rooted devices, including oneplus 3 on stock.
The thing is, you generally, (lie 99% of the time) should not theme system ui or android system as that almost always results in a bootloop.
This is with the exclusion of themes specifically designed for oxygen os like k clock and swift dark

Yes, that will do, I'm running that too. There is an option to enable OxygenOS 4 compatibility right under the logo. That will make sure that you have a compatible (a.k.a. none) SystemUI overlay

Great thanks. My OP 5 is being delivered today so I'm doing some research on I'm going to load on it. I saw that FreedomOS has Substratum Legacy support but I'd like to try the stock rom first.

I'm running it right now, but i'm using it just for centered clock and to change the "4G" to "LTE" in the status bar.
No issues on my side so far.
Currently running OOS 4.5.1 with magisk v13 beta (96f8efc)
HatRiGt said:

I use it for centered clock, QS Tiles 4 icons and Clear All (tasks) button on the left.
No problem so far.
I'm using Valerie as the main theme, and Big Blu to fill in things that Valerie doesn't do.
Also, Ozone for center clock and QS 5.
Fontio works with a .ttf file (or choose one of the provided fonts) if you use the flashable zip option - in the settings there's a place to create a restore zip, so do that first in case. Both files will be put on your internal memory in a Fontio folder.
edit: I forgot that the power menu doesn't work with this setup, so I made my own with Tasker/GMD.

Stock has the same substratum support as freedom Os... It's the legacy layers theming, so if you root stock, it will work the same way. Just install the substratum app from the store and try out. ?
fully working here, rooted with magisk and substratum is ok with theming everything, but yeah, like above, power menu doesn't work and if pressed it soft reboot phone... resolved installing material power menu

Did you reboot after you applied the theme? Pie took away OMS support so Substratum doesn't theme on-the-fly anymore so you probably have to reboot for the changes to take effect.

when i tried to apply substratum with djdarknjghts Sprite, i rebooted to apply the theme. when i rebooted, i was forced to wipe the phone to get it to boot. i had another member say you have to set the boot slot etc, but if you dont mind, can you tell me precisely what your steps to apply were?
i miss my theme, but if i can avoid another full wipe for nothing, that is ideal. lol.
im on OOS 9.0.5 rooted with magisk 17.3 . Thank you!

4) install Sprite
5) Build and apply theme.

Then i ended up having to wipe the device and could not boot.

The theme you are installing is not oos compatible, try themes like Swift Dark/Black/White, PitchBlack, Flux themes etc which are OOS compatible :good: Other themes may require full OMS support which is not present on OOS so you would end up bootloop.

yeah, that was my experience. i checked in the devs telegram and its not compatible with OOS as he doesn't own a OP device. if i were wealthy, id straight buy him one bc his themes are that amazing and thorough. i havent seen another one that themes status bar icons which is awesome.
i bought PitchBlack a while back, so i guess i will just live without statusbar icon colors for now.....
i actually like stock OOS more than i ever thought i would have. i wish they would make a status bar background and icon color picker just like the theme color picker, but with a simple RGB color picker like old school android apps had, but its probably just a pipe dream. lol. that and long press button functions are all im missing to complete my android experience on One Plus.
Good news, the wait just got shorter.

Hey all, currently using rooted OOS 11.0.1.1.IN11AA on OP8P and I've downloaded the Flux substratum theme that I used to use on OOS 10 without any problems. The Dev has mentioned that it is OOS 11 compatible. I have no issues with the system apps, but I get FCs on themed third party apps like Instagram, Youtube, Gmail, etc. Do you guys know of any work-around for this? I just thought it was strange that the system apps worked fine but not the third party ones. I tried applying overlays for those specific apps from another substratum theme that's meant for Android Q but they still FC'ed. This occurred in both light and dark modes.
Any help appreciated thanks!
Can you eliminate those said apps from theming?
I've been looking at substratum theming but was concerned about bootloops or a broken launcher/settings situation.

My understanding is that he is slowly adding better support for apps under 11. I'm using his Liv Dark theme and had the same issues as you for a while. Slowly but surely it's getting better with the 3rd party apps.
I would just turn it off for the apps that are force closing for now. Make sure you are using subs lite as well.

You would have been forced to MSM or wipe your system
