Themes app not working - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

I just unlocked my bootloader and now the Themes app doesn't work. It shows the themes and all but it can't apply anything. There's no error either. In the themes app the theme shows as the applied theme but the icons, wallpapers, everything remains the same. And Magazine unlock style for the lock screen does not work either. It's now more like a traditional Android lockscreen. Anyone knows a fix?

You tried rebooting?

As you see on the tittle it says VR(VillainROM)
Yes it is but you need to use a live wallpaper , I use Multipicture Live Wallpaper.
The lockscreen is WidgetLocker (WL), the app itself is not included , just the theme.
The launcher is LauncherProPlus.
I am having issues installing this gorgeous theme.
When I go to install it fails the signature verification so I toggled it off. Anyways I assume I have to add the dock and the background separate?
In addition after installing it made my notification bar go away and now I have no idea how to bring it back.
VillainRom v2.4.2:
After flashing the theme I have lost the notification bar/area.
First I flashed the theme and saw it was gone. Then I tried to wipe cache/dalvik but I still have no notification bar/area.
Why is that?
looks great! but how can u 'uninstall' it? would be good to know before applying just in case...

There is no uninstall yet
Flashing again at least didnt get my notification bar back.
Make a backup before flashing the theme. That should work as an uninstallation not a nice one though..
Reflashing it didnt work. Flashed another one over top now I have half dark miui half android It looks sick though haha.
Did you two use another theme before ?
If so , that can be the problem.

Third times a charm doesn't apply to this theme...
But I did have Circlesmod blue by Hooolm installed trough VillainTweaks.
I actually hadn't used a theme before this but I did have VR tweaks battery mods installed.
Thats true!
Using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16246199&postcount=27 .
The APM + CRT + OS + JKays Circle Battery one.

I actually think it is because Circlesmod uses a customized SystemUI.apk. Trying to replace it through adb to see if it works.
Flashing it again after flashing a different theme seems to work. It must be an issue caused by one of the VRtweaks.
Is there anyway to have the dock middle open the app drawer?
been asking for you to port this to CM7 hdpi back then, glad you ported this over here mate!

Ill try to be nice since you posted in wrong forum....most themes will not change everything you asked for...if you want to change lock screen, search for some vrthemes on here or zipthemes, there are TONS of them....for boot logo, you have to change that on your own...there is an app in here that will do that for you and has quiet a few selections....for icons, if you are talking about on launcher, just get a 3rd party launcher like nova and add your favorite icon pack....a few good ones are in these forum....and for home screen, that is usually changed with the theme you apply.
remember, you must be rooted and on a rom that has theme engine...WILL NOT WORK with stock, rooted or not.
Go for MIUI.

Black settings... and black other menu screens

Is there an Xposed module or some other way that anyone knows of to make the Settings black themed instead of white?
The amount of light that occurs with the white background sometimes hurts to look at.
Is there a night mode or something that I can do (other than flash a custom ROM)?
Thanks in advance.
Download and apply a dark theme off the theme store and it will turn the settings and toggles all dark.
Thanks! There's nothing in xposed that can do that though? I didn't see anything, but I didn't want to have to look inside every single module?
Answer found.
Care to share?
Sure. I could NOT find an Xposed module that did this (although I would think it to be really simple).
So I ended up just using the free Samsung theme that looked like space. Really neat - themes a lot more than just the settings.
I had trouble locating the Samsung theme app in Apex, but once you log into your Samsung account, I believe it brought it up.
Was definitely worth checking into.
Thanks for the help.

I'm using SkyofIllusion, but I downloaded ForestofIllusion too, but I don't like that the mystical deer is only shown on the lockscreen and disappears when you unlock the device.
Both good dark choices that apply in all the right places.

This is the Hologram theme which is a good alternate dark theme. It's not just a black background but uses background images.

Need tips on a dark / black theme

I've been looking for a black theme, all these white menus hurt my eyes
There used to be a switch in settings to make everything including menus etc black but it seems to have been switched to the theme manager. Can't seem to find a theme with dark background and white text in menus, they mostly just change wallpaper.
Any advice?

Learn how to theme.
Unfortunately, it can't be done. When you create a theme for an Xperia phone, you create a dark theme and a light theme, but it is not up to the theme developer or the user which of those themes to use. Sony has explicitly decided which of their apps will use each theme, and there does not seem to be a user-facing option to change it.

IICR if you put it to the stock launcher then go to themes when long pressing the screen those themes should change the whole phones theme.

Is there a substratum theme that doesnt break my apps? I was using the mono/art theme for substratum but everytime an app like WhatsApp or messages got an update it would force close the app when I would try to launch it until I remove the theme or it gets an update. Is there a theme where this wont happen? I was also getting force closes with WiFi toggled on and off.
substraum very buggy on oreo

Advice for Substratum black theme on stock rooted 8.1

Hi guys,
I've been using the AOSPUI black theme on my Nexus 6P and it worked fine on Nougat.
I now have a Pixel 2 XL on stock rooted Oreo 8.1. The same theme behaves in a weird way and some pop-up windows and the power menu have black on black text. I reached out to the dev and he says it should work properly but I can't seem to be able to make it work.
Now I'm looking for another black theme that works flawlessly on stock rooted. Found a few but need some advice, so would you get:
- Swift black,
- Pi Dark,
- Flux,
- something else?
I need a black theme where EVERYTHING works. Free themes are also welcome.
Thanks!

Swift Black works for me very well. But the first time you install a theme, you can run into weird problems because the theme hasn't been updated for the newest version of the Google apps yet.
When I did a clean install last week, Swift Black wouldn't theme my Google app. An update a few days later fixed this.
So I disable automatic updates and wait for a Swift Black update after the apps which I have themed are updated. This way it alsways works with Swift Black.
But to theme GBoard, you need to read the FAQ (some manual steps are required).
Hope that helps.

Domination is another outstanding black theme that gets updated regularly. Also, keep in mind that it's ok to use overlays from different themes on certain apps while your waiting for theme updates should your base theme not work on a particular app :good:
Swift black FTW

I use Swift Black for system UI and settings, Compound for phone. Swift Black leaves a huge blue frame on the dialer UI for me. Looks horrid.

I don't theme Google apps actually. My problem is with the "Android system" overlay on my theme.

Like I said above, the only overlay that gives me trouble is the "Android system" one. If I activate it (black with Pixel accent colors), my pop-up windows are black on black and my power menu blue on blue, i.e. I can't see any text. It's odd, it worked well on Nougat.
Edit: I wonder if it's the automatic (and stupid) day/night mode from Oreo that's being a PITA? Because my current wallpaper is dark and it triggers the dark mode for some stuff. Why did Google add this and not a toggle to enable/disable it?!

I think the only elements that are affected by the wallpaper theme (auto dark/light mode) are quick settings and notification bar.

It also themes the power menu, which is one of the areas that don't get themed properly. I also switched to a light wallpaper and all my QS were gone (probably black on black again)! Something is definitely fishy on Oreo :/

I don't have the issue you describe using Swift Black for system.
Same here, I'm 100% stock using swift black and couldn't be happier. No issues at all.
I'm guessing Swift Black is the winner here!
About the power menu, it's actually the advanced power menu that isn't themed properly (the one added by Gravity Box through Xposed). And also random pop-up windows like when I'm connecting a Bluetooth device.
I use Spectrum as my main theme. Domination is my second theme and is used to theme apps that Spectrum doesn't, such as XDA Labs. It also is used for the Google apps when Spectrum can't theme the app, though that can be hit or miss. For example, Photos cannot be changed to black by either theme at the moment.
Google seems to update their apps every other day, which gives the themers headaches. Of course, in Android P it may all end up being moot.
PitchBlack is my go theme... Updates regularly and plenty options..

After posting this I thought to myself, hope I didn't jinx myself....fast forward to now, 4 updates later to both substratum engine/swift black.... contacts and phone are not theming...I'm sure it'll be fixed soon but funny how that works. Anyone else having same problem?

Are you creating the modules then rebooting before applying? Since March update that's what you need to do. The modules will show up after rebooting.

I'm creating the overlays using the "build & update" option then rebooting and applying them. If you don't reboot, they don't show up in the Substratum manager.
Right now, I'm waiting to get a payment from Rewards so I can buy one theme or two. We'll see.

I disabled all overlays, rebooted, everything was stock theme. Did build and enable for swift black, rebooted, (twice) everything but contacts and phone is themed. Did this quickly this morning before work, maybe a error on my part. Will try again tonight.

I would delete the overlays before rebuilding them.
On my Pixel 2 XL stock (Not Rooted) I still have to Build/Enable and then reboot and enable again. Does anyone else have this issue? I should not need to "Enable" overlays twice.

Now that you mention it, I'm almost positive I did delete and not disable. Either way I'll check it out later, thanks for the advice.
