I am currently on MIUI-MM on my Kenzo as I needed working VoLTE .
But MIUI only allows to theme system elements and all other elements remain unthemed. (GAPPs, Whatsapp, Browser etc).
For testing, I installed Substratum and found it working fine for most of the supported applications.
Please note to skip system applications from theming. And as Substratum is working in legacy mode in MIUI MM, phone needs to be restarted after applying theme.
Some screenshots attached from MIUI MM.
Nice find

Is there any chance it would work on Lollipop?

Install "Substratum" from playstore.
You can also find themes in playstore. Search for "substarum themes"
* your phone must be rooted to use this.

Which (dark) themes work in Legacy mode?
Ah,nevermind got it after checking the screenshots. But in Play Store it shows "not compatible with your device version". I did try to obtain it elsewhere but package parsing error occurred. How do I get it?
Great find dude...!!

You need root to work, it's because many elements are located in protected or un reached places with no root privilages.
Try to root your phone, or use Magisk to hide root (or XPOSED as there is MIUI v9 version).
To OP
Thanks dude, it's a perfect find, I have RN4 too, and it's pleasure to hear that substratum themes are working fine in in-app environment.

I'm on MIUI-MM too, but when I try to download the substratum theme engine (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum) Google Play shows no compatible devices. Did you sideload it, or am I looking at the wrong app?
Tested working on MI5-Gemini running on CM14 LineageOS, Other CM-Based ROMs still to be tested.
NOTE: Admin kindly delete this thread or close it if it has already been discussed.
WARNING: Your device may end up in bootloop if you are not careful! Follow at your own risk! BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE...
Now, unto the best part!
Tired of the whites? Try going dark! We all know CM Theme engine has been missing on the latest CM 14.1 builds. And we all know that substratum causes bootloops in cm 14.1 based ROMs. I have found a workaround for this problem through a substratum theme provided at the playstore (hurray to the developers!)
How to make it work (Root Access Required)
1. Download substratum app at the playstore
2. Install this paid theme (also at the play store)
(Swift Black Substratum Theme *compatible with Nougat 7.1.1)
3. Open substratum and select Swift Black Substratum Theme
4. Allow root access
5. Choose android version 7_1_1or 7_1_1_OMS
Patch everything Except Android system!
(Device may end up in bootloop if you do so... I havent tested compatibility with this yet so if you are not sure, un-check it! (Refer to attached pic in post)
EDIT: if you choose 7_1_OMS setting it will work fine without bootloops even after patching Android System provided, that the thene supports this option. (thank you @etoy)
6. Restart device.... Enjoy!
Credits to all the developers of Substratum and theme makers!
and to Cyanogen/LineageOS
*This is my first XDA thread ever so please forgive me if i cant post some links and pics ATM(due to post requirements) but im very much obliged to answer your questions)
Confirmed working settings for LineageOS in substratum
*Android 7_1
*Patch everything except android System
*Theme is lost after every LineageOS OTA update or Version update.
*If this happens just re-patch substratum all over again...
*Haven't tested Non 7.1.1 compatible themes, only this one... If other themes worked for you, then let me know so i can check out too...
UPDATE:
Using an alternate rooting technique for the latest LineageOS Build, I got it up and running again!
*Works with 7_1_OMS setting

i'm using swift black theme on 0116 lineage and i can confirm it works 100%
i applied all v7_1_OMS overlays (including "android system") which should cause bootloop, but it totally worked somehow.. all apps are OK, notifications are black, accent in settings icons is themed.

Other working themes (Free on Playstore)
PixelUI(fully compatible with 7.1.1 LineageOS)
Galaxy Evolution (fully compatible with 7.1.1 LineageOS)
SIX Theme(Works but dont patch "Android System")
Lemme know if any other themes worked for you so we can add it on the list!
The only substratum stuff I want for LineageOS is the font changer!
I also tested some others Substratum themes ... will add functional later.
I do hope they will be fully compatible with LineageOS soon as CM Theme manager seems to be dead on CM14.1 due to a different RR implementation.
Just installed, testing now...
Stuck in bootloop, any help ?

Thank you very much for your help, I just flashed the latest version of LineageOS and everything back to normal, specially no data loses. I did the same method which you mentioned in the screenshot and it's working perfectly.

Glad that i could be of help.... Anyway, enjoy! We definitely benefit from lesser power drain with a dark theme like this.

1. You don't need to install that paid theme. I'm using Pixel UI Substratum theme just fine. Those instructions are misleading. One might think he need to put money in that theme developer's pocket as a necessary step to use Substratum.
2. Dark theme is cool and less painful for your eyes. And that's about it. Less battery drain? Only on AMOLED display. Our MI5 is LCD so the leds will produce light. On black, on gray or on white. No difference. And even on AMOLED displays, a dark theme will save battery only on true black (#000000). Anything else means led "on" and therefore power consumption.
i'm using swift black theme on 0116 lineage and i can confirm it works 100%
i applied all v7_1_OMS overlays (including "android system") which should cause bootloop, but it totally worked somehow.. all apps are OK, notifications are black, accent in settings icons is themed.

Whenever I changed to the new theme i have to restart the phone, do they have any options to apply the new theme without restart.
Thanks

not on lineage. some other roms have full support to OMS/substratum/masquerade/rro/layers or how the hell they call it now. those roms have full compatibility with subs themes, including android system, fonts, bootanimations, etc and usually don't require a reboot

can anyone confirm that it's working on the LG V20?
Anyone please provide the step by step procedure for installing a theme via substratum.
Currently, I am on AOKP and I tried Swift Black for 7.1.1(patched) and DNA themes and they didn't worked.
Your ROM needs to be updated to support the new rootless subtratum engine.

I think what s/he means is the OMS engine, it's called "masquerade" iirc. I heard it got rootless or something, never use any theme myself, idk.
Maybe wait for rom developers to push latest OMS engine? or build yourself ofc

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.

I can't even see any difference when you theme the system lol so I don't even think it's necessary

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

Hey!
I just got my new OnePlus 5 (upgraded from OnePlus One)
Well there were few things that i liked and would like to ask about
Is there a custom roms that have the same camera app? (Not based on OOS)
I just unlocked,rooted and changed the recovery, where can i find the stock files?
How much SOT do you get by using this phone?
I would like to use Substratum theme engine... is it possible?

Check out XXX NoLimts ROM. It's a custom OOS ROM and go ahead use lighting kernel OOS with it. You will get excellent SOT and yes, it uses the stock camera app.

You could dirty flash sure, I personally wouldn't. It uses the AROMA installer which allows you to debloat all the BS on STOCK OS. Substratum I can't confirm nor deny. I would suggest checking out the forum.

Substratum works. Blue only if compatible with Oxygen OS. Like Ozone and Swift Black. Also if you experience crash just flash substratum legacy zip
I can confirm Substratum is working. I am using Ozone & Swift Black and it looks amazing. No issues thus far.
