How can i create my own S8/Note 8 themes with substratum? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I've been wanting to do this for a while now but until now just it's just been a thought and I have a question about it too.
1. Is root needed to create themes? I've seen something about making themes through Android Studio but is root really needed for that?
Thank you for your time!

I briefly looked into it. Your have to apply to become a developer but you have to submit previous work. At that point it was too much, as all I want to do is create my own theme and apply it to my device.
If I'm wrong someone let me know, as I'd loved to be proved wrong [emoji6]

Theme chooser requires CM framework to work, so forget about adding it to stock ROM
no way
The T-Mobile Theme Engine is not just the Theme Chooser application, but changes buried deep in the framework. It was made for 2.3+, and for 2.2 support, it needs a lot of work (directing back SystemUI.apk resources to framework.apk, etc), and most of the themes won't work correctly, as they basically rely on the CyanogenMod structure, what is now miles away from AOSP.
Adding this theme manager to an existing ROM is a pain in the ass: first you need to get all the classes changed by the Theme Engine Overlay, then baksmali these files from a, the original ROM you want to add TTE to, b, a stock ROM compiled without adding TTE c, a stock ROM compiled with TTE. Diff the files from b and c, then diff a and b, and add the [b,c] differences to a without the [a,b] differences. That's all you need to do, and as a developer myself, I can tell you it will not just take weeks (8hours daily), but half a year of work.
what
What theme on my nexus 7 ?

Thank sir
You could also try the installing the Xposed framework, which can facilitate the theming of icons and such.

Ya....you can add.....by using XPOSED FRAMEWORK just Google it.

Discussion: Xposed Framework & Mods

Not sure who all has seen this, but you can now fully modify your stock rom to almost anything you'd like. Per app DPI, no ascending ringer, themeing...unlimited possiblities. I wanted to create a thead for us to discuss settings and features and leave the original thread open for dev discussion.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012770
This is the link to download modifications: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/
I have per app dpi working on messenger, gmail, and email at 220. For some reason I can't get tablet mode to work but I'm sure that will be fixed soon. Post any comments or questions here.
Thanks!
Does any of this works on stock 4.1.2 dll4 odexed?

Works on any rom that I've seen. I'm using it on odex 4.1.2 DLL4
Here is a link to multi-window enable all apps. I have tested and it works great on odex DLL4. Another mod we've been looking for on stock roms!

In my humble opinion Xposed Framework is the best thing that has been done for the community since the old Rom Kitchen website for the first Galaxy S.
But for some strange reason it's not getting the attention it deserves from chefs and devs
The xposed framework should work on any touchwizz based rom

I agree entirely...
The problem is that there is a difficulty level step to overcome. Once you learn how to use this though, you find it's much better than other methods.
The best thing to do right now is to encourage devs to submit their modifications into the repository linked there. This is because the files should work for future ROM versions too, but if the developer updates their patch, it's nice to get notified about the update.
I want to push this much harder in the new year as the new way to modify your phone...
I'd love to have a "no sms in call log" modification
Try "Samsung log converter" in play store
Thank you, I already use that but I'm looking for something that is a plugin for this mod.

That's definitely possible
I'm constantly telling people about Xposed framework and mods..they're so awesome.
Hmm, I never considered this but this looks cool. I've two questions though, I've read the topic of Pulsur word by word, and I guess it doesn't mess up with any system files right (sorry I didn't get all the technical words)? I am a stock forever user and I like it that way. Secondly, to use it, I just need to download the apk of Xposed framework and install it, then I need to download the mod and install it, right?
Thanks in advance.

But then how you're using Multi Window mod, it's not listed there! It's not that I need Multi Window mod, still I'd like to know. I only need SMS long character and call recording mod.

Theme Choser for Jellyshot

Hi everyone.
As no one on the rom thread want to help me, I'm asking here.
Could someone tell me how to add Theme Choser to this rom ? It may take ressources but I don't care, I want a nice phone.
Thanks.

It's not that they won't tell you, it's that you won't be able to do it, because it will take you a year to do it, even more so if you don't know crap to smali.
Theme chooser isn't only an APK you install. It's hours of modifications to framework.apk, systemui.apk and other programs that can get modded by themes (now contacts.apk and mms.apk)
It's just simpler taking CM base and building your own rom from it rather than taking an existing AOSP based rom and trying to merge in theme chooser.
HOWEVER, for the not so faint of heart but nowhere as hard as integrating theme chooser, you can simply mod the graphics of the rom permanently. Many people have done so quite successfully here, for example with rasbeanjelly rom.

Layers at Moto X

Hey there!
Since there is no CM12.1 port available at the Moment, I've searched for a way to change the theme in my Moto X. So during my search, I stumbled across Layers, the build in theme engine of Lollipop. Unfortunately, when I try to Reboot the device after applying the theme, my phone stays at a blackscreen. Is there anyone who knows how to get it working on the Style?
Regards

CM do not support Layers.
I'm planning on bringing Slim support soon and will provide layers as well.
No ETA at the moment.

Layers doesn't work on stock android except for OEM's like Sony and ToughWize. Layers will work on stock Marshmallow though. To get boot normally boot to TWRP mount system then go to system/vendor/overlays folder and delete all the apks there.

Boot to twrp, mount system, open the file manager, navigate to /system/vendor/overlay, delete all of the contents of this folder, reboot.

The complete pixel experience

I've been a stock user my entire time with my previous Nexus 5 and my current Nexus 6P, but since google decided not give us the latest and greatest software this time around I think it's time I rooted so I can get the complete pixel experience but I'm kind of lost, I see a lot posts and kernels and I don't know what to chose so can someone help me out so I can be running the complete pixel software.
Pixel Launcher with now tab
Google Assistant
The new dialer
The new live wallpaper
The new moves settings
Night light
Anything else I've forgotten
If someone can guide me I'd really appreciate it.
No one? Someone must have this setup and share how he/she did it
you can goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/flashable-zip-pixel-launcher-goodies-t3484455 google drive link and download pixel launcher 7.1.1 MRL then flash zip in twrp
the only thing missing is navbar isnt themed so go ahead and get substratum and download N Navbar off playstore and apply N Navbar Circle
after that..
go into your build.prop and find ro.product.model= Nexus 6p and make it say Pixel XL
then add this line underneath it ro.opa.eligible_device=true
save and reboot, goto google app clear data, long press home to set up google assistant.
reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-enable-google-assistant-t3477879
fingerprint mod can be an app http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-fingerprint-to-unlock-t3466549
if you want night light your gonna have to disregard first link and apply this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/flashable-zip-night-light-round-icons-t3486794
its also same thing just minor differences
rounded icons are still in the works
and ofcorse you will need to enroll into beta and grab 7.1.1 after that unlock ur bootloader and after that root it up , or unlock your bootloader first .. anything can
