historically i've waited a little longer to leap into root/mods but root was available so quickly i couldn't resist.
i've got:
swift installer to make everything black
viper to sort out the middling audio performance
youtube vanced
edge sense plus, to remap:
single squeeze to start/stop music
long squeeze to turn flashlight on/off.
runnning action launcher and via browser.
interest to hear what everyone's modding approach has been!
i have fdroids privileged extension, twemoji, and subtratums mod installed. it refused to let me install swift installers mod. i assume you are talking about magisk mods lol

idk tbh. it was just greyed out. i figured it may be because it wasnt updated for the new magisk installer. so i figured i could update it for it....... the mod is nothing, like there is nothing in it, even on the github for it. it was just the template that in a couple places they made it say swift installer.

Pardon my ignorance but what's the difference between swift installer magisk mod and the app I can download via the play store?

The app should prompt you to install the Magisk mod on first use. It is supposed to make it work better. But after looking at the actual mod, I don't see how it is doing anything
I gotten my Pixel 3a XL now and I quickly unlocked it and installed Magisk.
I already use these mods on my current phones: Viper4Android, Youtube Vanced, Advanced Charging Controller, iOS Emoji, systemless host with Ad Away app. I'll also be checking out Edge Sense Plus as if seems like a great tool to customize this (new to me) feature.
Other "root" apps that I use regularly - Tasker (and various related apps like secure settings), Titanium Backup, Terminal Emulator.
EDIT - I've done all of this now and really like the Edge Sense Plus app. One thing I did was I added a single squeeze to take a picture when I'm in the camera app. This is so simple, but makes it much easier to take pictures with one hand - no more finger gymnastics trying to press the shutter button while trying not to drop the phone!

you don't need to use substratum, and you can choose the colour and accent for every app. handful of screenshots attached.

I see so it does the same as the swift substratum theme but without the need of substratum. What's the advantages of doing this? Thanks

really only that is applies a unified custom accent colour to every app it themes, and also, i suppose, that you can use whatever background colour you like (if straight black is not your thing (which would be crazy cos black looks so good on this screen)). and i guess that you don't have to use substratum, which i find quite an annoying app to use.

Same here! Fire-Equalizer only. Try out my tuning and let me know what you think. I tried to preserve the phone speakers natural sound while adjusting areas that needed a little extra without going overboard.
Anyone else tried Viper on Bluetooth output yet? It's not working for me.
Any tips? Tried compatibility mode, and several EQ presets as well as a massive gain drop. Nothing changed.

The way I did it as I installed the viper 2.7 APK it'll ask you call to install driver then reboot. Then going to magisk and installed the audio compatibility patch. And the library.

Well that's frustrating. I'm at a total loss as to what the problem could be.
I just duplicated your process, though I installed the Viper APK via Magisk, then the driver, reboot, install library and patch, reboot.
I don't think any effects whatsoever are happening, on any output. I can't tell any difference at all on stuff that should be blatantly obvious (eg. high treble, 40dB drop in gain, etc).
I tested the effects using both YouTube and iHeartRadio

Pure Nexus. Working perfectly.
I can't stand sound mods that involve more than one app. Just the other week I found something that looked promising, installed it, and then I had viper/Dolby/some Sony eq app/ and some terminal commands. I hated it. I don't see the point in it. Unless you have a few hundred dollars in any type of sound system, and even then most of the tuning can be done from amps/eq
The most Ill go is viper4android ALONE. and even when I do that, I have to modify my goto interactive governor tweaks to eliminate clipping and distortion when the screen turns off.

Try Arise. You will only need to set up V4A, nothing else. If you experience crackling with it, try sonophilo's setprop instead of the default one (instructions in the thread), it usually eliminates all distortions for me. And the quality on the "Numbers" release is hands down much superior to basic V4A installation (i am using also the optional Atmos add-on, i use it instead of v4a equalizer and it's better imo) .
the ARISE sound mod is working for me... it work mm like stock and pa and also works on android nougat
Arise numbers is the best I've used so far. Much better sound quality than just using V4A or ViperAtmos.

Should work but not sure since I've just tried Arise with Pure Nexus.
hello, can anybody teach me how to install ARISE step by step? because I flashed V4A on PN with EX kernel and although I didnt have 'driver' issues, the v4a doesnt effect the sound itself. already tried changing values in EQ but no effect.

It's a mod which enables the earpiece speaker with any audio/ video giving the phone a "stereo" experience and your videos and songs will sound louder. Just think HTC dual speakers.

If you uninstall s health and then install and older version before 5.0 it will work and then you can update to the latest s health within the app. That's what worked for me at least

Set on performance or extream performance mod
Not sure why people are having problems with S Health. I haven't factory wiped my phone so basically Nougat was an over the air update. I did reinstall stock a few times because of wifi calling issues but I've gotten those worked out.
S Health works fine for me To all of you that can't get S Health work did you disable Knox by chance?

I flashed various Dolby packages on different ROMs; don't recall if this was one of them. All made a noticeable difference but not always favorable to my liking. Biggest hassle was the variable output levels depending on content. In the end benefits did not justify the effort; no longer part of my 'core' suite. Be sure whatever package(s) you try include a method for uninstalling. Also recommend taking a backup of the system partition. Had some installs go bad; likely a conflict with Xposed framework.

I installed on my stock OG Pixel XL and I think it actually runs faster, or seems to. I turned off the swipe gesture for the home key at first to get used to the rest if the changes. I just turned it back on and I am getting used to that now. All in all I am happy.

You're right, about root. I guess I was thinking outside the Pixel realm. It's my backup phone. I could probably live without all the others, but Dolby Atmos. The rest are aesthetics, but I love me some car audio jamming.

I have a weird issue where the battery icon stays lit up when charging while off. It them doesn't turn off when the phone is unplugged?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Overall, it is fine. Pretty snappy especially considering I updated with the -w removed instead of doing a complete install. I haven't messed much with the new look and feel features since stock O was just fine to me. One bug is that when I click on/dismiss a notification the icon stays there sometimes until I swipe down on the curtain again. The new volume quick access that includes buzz and mute is nice though I don't like that just turning down volume from the main screen now controls media instead of ringer. The only thing I don't care for is the new window animation (app window bouncing open for lack of a better explanation). Seems like a waste of resources with no functional benefit. 2 apps that caused messages that they were designed for an older version of Android, but both worked fine and the message no longer pops up after hitting the OK button the first time you see it. All in all, P was a well though out and largely bug-free update. Clearly, it was extremely stable and ready for a general release that was earlier than any of us where expecting. I haven't seen anyone talking about reverting to O. That is always a good sign.

I stand corrected. I tried it on 8/6 using the regular Substratum app. Updated to Magisk 16.7 beta (not sure if that's important), downloaded Substratum beta v999, and it works. Thanks for proving me wrong y'all! My scorched retinas are forever in your debt.

I have a test build with it but I have not had time to flash it yet. I'll get to it tonight
It's pretty snappy. I'm digging all the little nuances, like the volume popup and the in call bubble that shows on top of other apps.
While using the phone, the clock in the upper left, catches my eye and I think it's a notification.
The nav pill is ok. I have a little trouble switching to previous app.
I signed up for the DIGITAL WELL BEING app. I don't know if it will be very useful, to me, but time will tell.
I do appreciate being able to darken the quick settings tray, but don't understand why notifications are left with white backgrounds.
I don't like having to pull down, twice, to get to settings.
ETA, I found another thing I like, the select text, expanding window and the copy / paste experience.
I have a 2-part question that I am hoping someone might know the answer to, or a resource to get:
1. When did unattended install/uninstall cease to be a functionality of the tool?
2. Can it be restored?
Having to hit "Install" and "Done" for each and every overlay is EXTREMELY tedious.

Did you gave root before? I was under the impression that would not work without being rooted.

No, I just know there was a time when using my Note 8 and S8+ before that, that it would do unattended installs.
This doesn't require root. Case in point would be the app called App Backup and Restore. It produces an item in Settings called Apex that, when enabled, allows the program to run tasks unattended.

It's always required you to acknowledge as far as I know. That is if you are unrooted.
I've been using it since it was announced and always had to acknowledge.
It cannot be restored natively to the app.
I mean once you do your initial run through it's a few apps a day to confirm. You could try hitting up their telegram and speaking directly to the devs
Is it possible to save the theme that i have made for an other installation ?

Swift installer will be work on Android Pie without root?

Yes.
I love swift installer, the initial set up is tedious but worth it. After that you just have to do a few if you change your theme. Also for those who are curious it does work with good lock notification shade settings. I have made an inquiry to the devs about supporting more than on accent color.

Have you noticed any battery draining?
When I had it back in my S9+ I uninstalled it because of this reason.

I totally love this app for having everything in black.

Looks like you had a theme applied from the Galaxy store. You need to be on the default theme before you install swift installer.

I've been using this since it was released and haven't experienced any drain what so ever.

I have been using off and on since I got this phone. There is no noticable difference in battery usage. This app is updated every few days and has constantly addressed bugs and other issues. So if the app cause battery drain when I came out in may, I can assure you that has been fixed. Also if you have any other theming apps active at the same time as this one. That could also be the culprit. I say you just re download it again and see what your experience is like.

Thanks guys for your answers.
Tried it for one more time today. I disconnected the phone from the charger and with 100% battery installed the app and the overlays.
Now my battery again has draining. With the same usage that I had always around 3h SOT until 50% today only achieved 1.5h!!
Of course I didn't installed any other app.
I'll give it a couple days and I'll report back.

Interesting, I would report your experience through the Google play page. There is an area where you can provide feedback directly to the developer. Do you by chance have any other applications that are used to theme the phone, or have any themes active from the Samsung's themes including fonts?
I am at 2:15 sot and have 70% battery. It sounds like swift installer isn't getting a long with another app. Also did any overlays fail? Might I suggest leaving the app installed and removing all overlays untill the app updates again. Once the app is updated reinstall the overlays, if you update an app past swift installer. That can cause issues and may also be the reason for battery drain. I don't update any apps on my phone until swift updates, that includes the Galaxy app store as well.

I've run it for almost as long as I have had this phone and I'm usually looking at 4 hours sot at about 50 or 60%
