Working: Substratum theme engine and Theme for CM14.1 LineageOS

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 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.

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

Try clearing the data of the launcher and check if it is working or not.

Great mod, works like a charm.
Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the animated navigation bar!

I am thinking to add Pixel Live Wallpapers application in the zip file. Just because this is Pixel Experience Mod.
What do you think?

Yeah, I don't have all round icons either, but I guess that is because the app itself don't have a round icon.

See there is lots of options
I m giving you one
Use substratum with andromeda.
You must have both apps - substratum is free, andromeda is paid. To activate rootles mode you need to run PC script (phone is connected via adb and appos command is used).

After that install those apps that i provided you, they work in oreo only

Hi buddy,
If you want to use substratum, you will need to use it with andromeda, and you must have both apps - substratum is free, andromeda is paid.
Note: If you will try to use the cracked one, then you might get error or wont use the substratum
substratum may be very good theme manager but remember this will consume more battery so dont complaint about this problem.
This process is rootless, so you dont need to root your device
To activate rootless mode you need to run PC script (phone is connected via adb and appos command is used).
All instructions are given on this link

Just installed...very cool!!....thanks! Got any other themes?

so followed instructions but when i go into themes it say Trial for bleu note 9, click on, apply trial........unable to use free trial content show button shapes and buy says item not available, Yes I am on 8.1.0 and followed your directions
So?

Looks good without being too garish. Just one request, the grated background, how do we change that to pure black? It looks cheap, like it was enlarged or stretched out and sometimes it doesn't make some texts easy to read like a solid color.

To change it to black you have to delete in all asset apk background picture and change background color. Lot of work !
Now i'm on Pie . All old thems don't work on it.
I plan to make a pure black theme for Pie rom when we'll have update of tools to create themes.

As much as I love this theme...it affects my phone calls...it closes out the keypad when I make or accept a call and I can't reopen it.

I am Oreo 8.1.0 and I believe my Note has the Snapdragon.
What happened was.... I would make or receive a phone call...answer it and it would say that the theme stopped working and it would minimize my call screen to the status bar...and I wouldn't be able to open it...so if I needed to use the dial pad, I couldn't....I could only end the call.

I'm having the same issue snapdragon anyone find a fix yet? Great work on the theme btw best one so far
