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.

Milos do work on stock 6.0.1.
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
Sent from my Moto Z Play using XDA Labs
So I just need to be on stock rooted OP 5 with Subtranium installed to use Swift Dark on system ui?

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 guys, the much awaited stable twrp build, built for Oreo, is here.
Download from here - https://dl.twrp.me/z2_plus/twrp-3.2.0-0-z2_plus.img.html
I'm using this with AEX4.6 though, so if someone tries with Oreo, please update your experience here. With nougat, this build is so far so good.
Update - The Oneplus Black theme is not due to updated version and was a theme zip i forgot i had long ago (which failed before and just got applied).

The Oneplus black theme on twrp is gorgeous and feels new, though some of you might not like the oneplus logos here and there . I think this version is either sponsored by Oneplus or ported by twrp devs from version built for OP3/3T/5. Either way, it is good.

Ya sorry dude. I had put this oneplus theme zip inside theme folder of twrp long ago but just after flashing 3.2 it has been applied. Sorry for the wrong information, I'll change the OP now.

Has anyone tried this yet ? Since we don't have a fully working TWRP I don't want to risk a bootloop just yet!

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!

Presume I haven't been flashing and theming android devices since a855 (d1) what are your steps?
my steps were:
1) bl unlock
2) root with Magisk 17.3 (beta)
3) install substratum
4) install Sprite
5) Build and apply theme.
6) Reboot
Then i ended up having to wipe the device and could not boot.
What am i missing? lol
edit 2: yeah, gotta use a theme compatible with OOS. lol.

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.

Is there anyone tested it? I really need substratum to customize my phone without rooting it. Coz i heard some people said substratum no longer work with non rooted device(in android Pie).
So.. Is there someone who can confirm that substratum works with android Pie that would be great.
P/s: im still on Oreo.
No. As i said before, it won't work in Pie. There are only S9, S9+, Note9 and Note 8 Snap version can use custom overlay without root.
