Anybody who can help with proper installation of substratum themes that work with my S8+ and can give me some pointers on the Nougat 7.1 system that it came with from T-Mobile, Thanks
What are you looking too have things look like,ie. colors? Also we're still on 7.0 from everything I know.
Shades application for example. Lots of color choices etc.

Hello,
First of all, great phone. Build quality and specs are superb, but that EMUI...is ok.
First thing i did was setup my nova launcher like i had it :angel:
http://i66.tinypic.com/333bsee.png
Now for the questions!
1. i have the GRA - L09 version which seems to be able to have Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.0 correct?
I have this http://i67.tinypic.com/20tkl1t.png
its a branded tmobile version of 5.0.1. What do i need to flash first to be able to flash 6.0? i read that you cant just flash any version and that you have to be on a certain build to be able to flash 6.0-
please, if someone could elaborate a bit more.
2, whats up with the colored status bar? i noticed it works only in some stock apps and not in playstore etc.. Is it a nova launcher problem? because it seems its system wide.. looks a bit ugly when youre used to having it. It just picks the colour of my wallpaper so if my wp is red, on whats up is red aswell, its not picking the colour of the app. any fix for this?
thanks dear p8 people

Hello. About marshmallow (6.0) there is only beta version available, so for now i really dont recommend you to install it (downgrade could be difficult if are new in huawei system files). About status bar, its known bug of system, in most apps its transparent, so it has collor like your desktop wallpaper, so we can just wait for fixed marshmallow which i hope will be released in about month. I tried beta and i can tell you its way better then current 5.0.1, so much faster, much more battery friendly ang very nice UI with no buggy status bar etc, but of course, there are some other bugs.
Hi loop!
First welcome to the Huawei universe! Hope you'll stay with us.
Now to answer your questions:
1) To update to Marshmallow & EMUI 4 (In a beta state obviously) you'll first have to debrand your device. I think some people explain how on this forum. Then you'll have to download the update files, put it in a dload folder, etc etc. Everything should be explained on the subject about this beta update.
2) You can remove this coloured status bar on EMUI 3.1 by using a live wallpaper or by making a transparent gradient on the top of your wallpaper. It'll have an 80% transparent shade however... I recommend you Every Stripes and Meter by Google. Used this two for a while and both work!
Or if you want you can download maximax's EMIUI theme. It has a wallpaper with that transparent gradient on top of it. (However it's not a material wallpaper. :/ )
Please note that in EMUI 4 the status bar won't have a blured colouration of your wallpaper. It'll be a "gradient" colouration (Just like on Kit Kat!) If you want it to change you can find a theme, open it using your favourite archive extractor, and find the status bar gradient file and make it fully transparent. (Did that with the EMIUI theme on both the navigation bar and status bar. Also made the status and navigation icons look more like stock Android. )
Hope I've been helpful to you! Have a nice day.
Hi,
I'm picking up a P8 tomorrow coming from a Galaxy S4 on Cyanogenmod and my only concern is the UI. Is there any ROMs or ways to bring the P8 closer to stock other then a launcher, I saw in a review that even with google now launcher it retained the Huawei icons. Is there any way to make these stock?
Thanks in advance!

Well im using nova with custom icons, check screenshot in my first post.
also, built in theme engine lets you change icons
Hello,
Under MM, it was possible to mod icons with CSCAppResource.apk, see [GUIDE] [Advanced] How to make an IconPack for Samsung Touchwiz [JellyBean].
Since Nougat, I do not find the way to make that it works.
Any idea please?
Thanks
PS : rooted phone of course.
Yep, struggling here too with nougat ...
I guess it has to do with what Samsung made with touchwiz with nougat as they re-branded the launcher as Samsung Experience. Something happened where the new version of the launcher does not pick up the apk/xml we use.
Hello
Thanks ahmed_ais for your feedback.
Hope someone could find the tip to make it back, maybe modded Touchwiz Launcher.
Does someone know if it is possible to add 3rd apps in Samsung Theme?
It seems that it only works with Samsung app ones.
It could be a solution
Found a solution !!
Hey, I just wanted to update you guys about a solution I have found: Substratum
It's a very big and deep theme engine worth checking out. I was able to theme apps icons throughout the whole system (including Touchwiz Experience launcher) without touching any apk so it's as clean as CSCAppResource approach.
Substratum can do a hell lot more of course, thanks to everyone contributed to this project. I have attached some screenshots from my setup using an icon pack found online (take a look at 3rd party apps icons)
Hello,
Can U provide us please more details how to proceed?
Thx

Yea sure ...
First of all one would need to download the substratum theme template from here. We need to pay attention to step 3 from the description of that template as this is what we will be doing. Knowing that any app should have an icon either in one or more of /res/drawable folders or one or more of /res/mipmap folders, we need to put our themed icon in that location in assets folder within the substratum them.
Let's take an example of Facebook app. The launcher icon for that app is located at: com.facebook.katana/res/mipmap-xxxhdpi-v4/icon_katana.png (and perhaps other mipmap folders as well, I didn't check). Therefore, I should include the same hierarchy in my substratum theme like this: MySubstratumTheme/app/src/main/assets/overlays/com.facebook.katana/res/mipmap-xxxhdpi-v4 and there I put the new icon with the same name icon_katana.png (the name is defined in the app's manifest file so it should be exactly the same).
Once done, we build the theme and we push and install it to the phone then proceed with Substratum app.
Hi,
I didn't find an answer to this - I'm looking for the location on my phone where I can find the substratum themes I've download.
I'm guessing I need to be rooted to see the .substratum folder? Any where else they would be saved that I could access with a non-rooted phone?
I'm looking at taking certain parts of my substratum themes and combining them into my Coffee theme.
Thanks.
After upgrading to Oreo/Samsung Experience 9.0 can no longer use those 2 files to forcefully scheme the notifications and other windows black.
Has Android Oreo removed the ability in general to force themes by use of APK? Heard that was a security 'feature' but any developers have a new workaround? Please, as I can never get used to ugly white panels. Please let there be a workaround. Thanks, and comments appreciated.
Bump. Please I need an updated apk that will work with unlocked s8 regular not plus on oreo. It seems there are updated apk for the s8 plus on oreo but it won't work with regular s8.
has anyone been successful in theming keyone with oreo using substratum and andromeda?
works
got some advice from crackeberry forums and it works.
