Swift Installer/substratrum - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Just verifying that Swift or Substratum work on the 8 pro? Since we don't have a working TWRP i wouldnt want to be stuck where i cant disable a mod because of force closes. Anyone installed swift or substratum and applied themes successfully?

I'm using Swift Dark Substratum now with no problems. Don't know about Swift Installer.

Thank you both!

Yes.

Yes Swift installer is working perfectly, but for the record, I tried installing Aether substratum theme w/ substratum lite to center clock & once I checked the option, I couldn't boot successfully. I didn't try again with reg substratum but just wanted to add the input if anyone wanted to know. Thx

Compatibility with Layers or Substratum themes

Does anyone know if the stock ROM is compatible with the "Layer or Substratum" theme app from the Play store?
yup. Substratum works quite fine. However, I tried using transparent/dark themes and had issues with Settings because the font remained black. Maybe someone can help?

It really works?? No bootloop or bugs? Can you try Pixel UI theme app for substratum and then say if it works? I have a zenfone 3 deluxe with android nougat. It should work anyway, but maybe only with marshmallow

Sorry I don't have the phone anymore. But I remember I didn't get any bootloop. However the themes i tried (mostly dark themes) are not working properly because the font will remain dark.

Substratum should be rootless, as far as I know. Have you installed substratum from the play store and are using a theme that's compatible? Which themes are you installing?

I'm new to OP. Any guidance on Substratum?

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

You have to be rooted.
Install substratum apk.
Install some theme apk and try to apply it in substratum, be careful it's possible to get bootloop.

Should work. Do you use any Magisk modules for substratum? Like for example there is a module called Substratum Systemless and I don't think that will work

Well I had an Xperia phone and substratum was working on that, and unlike A1 that was a custom Android ROM made by Sony. Be sure you install Legacy versions of themes and you don't use any substratum related magisk modules ( look again and make sure that module is disabled)

Substratum on OOS 11

Hey all, currently using rooted OOS 11.0.1.1.IN11AA on OP8P and I've downloaded the Flux substratum theme that I used to use on OOS 10 without any problems. The Dev has mentioned that it is OOS 11 compatible. I have no issues with the system apps, but I get FCs on themed third party apps like Instagram, Youtube, Gmail, etc. Do you guys know of any work-around for this? I just thought it was strange that the system apps worked fine but not the third party ones. I tried applying overlays for those specific apps from another substratum theme that's meant for Android Q but they still FC'ed. This occurred in both light and dark modes.
Any help appreciated thanks!
Can you eliminate those said apps from theming?
I've been looking at substratum theming but was concerned about bootloops or a broken launcher/settings situation.

My understanding is that he is slowly adding better support for apps under 11. I'm using his Liv Dark theme and had the same issues as you for a while. Slowly but surely it's getting better with the 3rd party apps.
I would just turn it off for the apps that are force closing for now. Make sure you are using subs lite as well.

So does this allow theming of system settings? Quick settings etc??
I don't mind apps so long as they can be whitelisted

How can you boot twrp? In Android 11?? There is no twrp for OnePlus 8 Pro on 11.
You would have been forced to MSM or wipe your system

Do you know if themeing the notification shade background is possible? That's the only thing I need to theme since OOS11 has an ugly grey color in dark mode. I want to make it black
