How to get custom themes?? [Android 7.0 Nougat][Root] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, So i am new to the whole rooting thing i have a Samsung Galaxy J530F and i want to make the UI look better and i have looked everywhere online and tried downloading substratum but that is useless because you have to pay for it.
Can anyone please tell me how to get themes?

I recommended Substratum
They will use this
Nougat (RRO): Requires root, exposures unsupported, not all themes compatible
as the theme engine!
ALWAYS PREPARED SUBSTRATUM RECOVERY.ZIP Incase you got bootloop!
Just flash substratum recovery (aka remove overlay & etc).zip in TWRP!

Hi thanks for your reply,
Is there a way to get substratum for free? I have looked here on XDA and elsewhere on the internet but can't seem to find it, i install the normal substratum App from the playstore but it then asks me to pay for it.

Stock rooted E4 running substratum.

So I took the risk and tried substratum on my metro variant E4 and it worked like a charm some things don't theme like the nav bar, but so far so good.
Navbar themes work!

U can use "custom nav bar pro" from play store for theming and customization of nav bar
See here
Yes I used that when I first got it, but with substratum the theming is endless and it you can also re-theme the nav bar animations.

In mediatek variant I applied all the overlays of modern ui substratum theme but on reboot got stuck at android logo...I restored from my backup...what went wrong?
Edit - applying overlays on Android system only causes device not to boot otherwise working ok
I'm not sure, I do know some substratum themes refuse to work with our devices, try a different one maybe that will help

Hello,i if is possible can you send me your BLPGU modem it can be found in System/Etc/MDDB via zip file to isikmuhamm @ gmail. com ?

Rooted and running Substratum. I have tried Coalfield, Compound, S.I.X. Theme, J Dark Ice, and a few others. Is anyone else having problems to get the themes to install correctly? I mean, they build fine and install, but if I choose a red accent with black primary, I still get the teal accent with black primary. Coalfield has done the best, but still doesn't theme everything as I would like. Any advice?
Also, with other phones, I remember being able to set priorities for multiple themes. That option doesn't appear anymore.
Some substratum themes just won't work with aosp rooms, all of the aospUI rooms work flawless with our phone when you select compatability mode with pixel accents

Use Substratum without Root on 7.0?

I know there's a way to do this on Oreo, but don't know about Nougot. I've searched around and haven't gotten very far. I was wondering if there was maybe an ADB command I could run to elevate the apps privilages EX: Greenify and System UI Tuner. I'm on Android 7.0 (NOT 7.1.1) and am unrooted. Anybody know of any such method? If not, can I somehow utilize LG's theme options?
There is no way to do it.
Oreo has OMS by default from google so substratum team were able to make the Andromeda Plugin.
For nougat, The OMS commits has to be implemented into the custom rom(eg. Resurrection Remix)you are using but not just that you have to be rooted in able to use substratum because Andromeda is made for oreo only.

Oh well. There's nothing I could do with the LG theme utility? I'm assuming not; the only way of downloading themes for that is through the LG Smartworld app as far as I can tell and Substratum doesn't say anything about it.

Custom themes for Moto G5S Plus using Substratum official Oreo 8.1 without Root

Finally after Oreo 8.1 update for Moto G5S Plus you can install custom themes to your device using Substratum and Andromeda engine without root. You'll require to purchase Andromeda app from play store (no patches would work, should be installed from playstore only) and another app Substratum theme engine and a windows pc or mac. Just follow this thread on xda for instructions.

Have you installed Andromeda and Substratum theme engine already in your phone??
I had everything downloaded and it was all fine.. But when I was building the theme, it said 'now able to connect to the andromeda end' but it said it's connected on Andromeda how it's shown here on the screenshots. Please help

Did you buy Andromeda app from playstore or installed from some another website??
If you've bought from playstore then you'll also have to download windows or mac link (whatever you own) for Andromeda to run the commands while connecting your phone to PC
I did purchase the app.. And followed the procedure to be done on the PC.... It still didn't work

Can you actually tell me what went wrong??
I have tested several themes and just a few works fine for me. I recommend you to follow carefully the guide and to check out the free "Substratum Pixel Theme", which works for me just with the settings menu colors.

Pie dark and light themes also work fine. I'm using both.
Pie dark works nice but Pie light doesn't, in my phone. Do you do something special or just install as usual?

Hi
I'm in Oneplus board from OP1, OP3, OP5, OP5T and now OP6

I think re-flashing OOS should do it.

Yes, but just wondering if there was a method a little less drastic than having to reflash.

Substratum Support / Swift Installer

Hi!
I wanted to know what Custom ROM supports the substratum engine and swift installer?
I have unlocked my bootloader, however i'm not able to determine what custom ROM supports the above.
If any of you have tried or know of a working custom ROM i will surely appreciate your suggestions.
