substratum - Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Anyone here using substratum on Mi A1 ? How it goes ? Feel free to share ur experience :laugh:

substratum works after installing the magisk module systemless substratum. However it seems that when u install themes. the overlays are written to the system (My own experience). This results in being recognized as tampered system and in turn fails on OTA

its not exactly sad u get to know things when u do them and when u fall in a pit u can help others to avoid them
U can always flash stock rom to regularize things ( I hope, havent tried yet. Planned on coming Sunday )

I have read some themes result in bootloop and mi A1 nougat is not compatible with substratum. Can you please share which themes you tried and are working

i dont think it is compatible as it is. i never tried themes without the aforementioned module because i am 99% sure it wouldnt work otherwise since the stock rom is not oms. and yes incompatible themes do result in bootloop.

dont know about lone4subs but i used 'ice' and 'swift dark' without any issue. However i would not recommend using any, not for fear of bootloop but because it messes with the system and u cant use OTA.
I have just finished updating to december patch for witch i had to first flash November rom.
And now every time i reboot my phone it declares: 'your system can not be checked for software corruption. please lock your bootloader

Lol this is becoz of your bootloader is unlocked since you mentioned 'swift dark' theme i would like to give it a try too
Edit:can u show ur your phone screenshot with swift dark theme? I would like to see :laugh:

Android Oreo has inbuilt substratum theme support. But u need a PC nearby and a app called Andromeda. It works perfectly fine but u will need ur PC when changing or applying themes. No bootlopes or anything. I use it myself. Check screenshot.

No not at all.This method doesn't involve root or unlocking bootloader hence ota will be received as usual.
I have successfully received January patch after applying themes.

[Q] Xposed / OTA update

Hey! I'm about to root my device with towellroot apk (international 32Gb version).. If I install the Xposed Framework and install some modules.. once android L update will be avaible, will I be able to download it OTA?
Because I had a nexus 5 and when I installed Xposed and some modules and once 4.4.3 was avaible.. I unistalled everything and I still couldnt do the OTA update.. It gave me an error during installation and I don't want that to happen again with my new G3...
Thanks!

Most likely you'll need to unroot by installing the stock ROM before updating.

Has anyone been able to root this thing? Their old zip doesn't work on this one.
can't have root permanent... everytime i need root i must start SUPERSU and ask for update.. then without reboot i can use the app in with root priviledges!
i hope someone come out with a solution!!!

From the oppo forums, it seems like it's perfectly okay to flash it from TWRP, but the Rom will overwrite the recovery with the stock one

What about theX9007 platform?
This is great news about a new, stable release, but everything says it is for the X9006 only. Myself and others have the X9007. I use my X9007 in Europe and the USA... and have no intention of using LTE in China. If I flash this, will I essentially have the X9006?
I am currently running the last X9006 beta that was OK to flash on the X9007. All my cell networks are working fine, including LTE. If I do this, will I need to perform a special modem flash for baseband... or only if I want a "Chinese" phone? Everything I have always heard is that both phones are exactly the same hardware.

ASUS Themes not compatible anymore with my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML

I accidentally disabled the Themes app on my ZF2. When I immediately enabled the app it cant connect to the internet and I checked on Google Play it shows that it doesn't support my device. Any advice on how to fix this problem would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
See screenshot below.
BTW, im using Prism Barebone ROM. It's a stock ROM with bloatwares removed.
I think they're in the middle of an update with their OEM software...A lot of people have this, even in our beta group.. Hopefully it's to fix 3rd party themes.. One can only hope...

Unfortunately I'm not sure how that will work with Marshmallow. They are Beta testing MM in Taiwan right now, so no US or WW variant. I went ahead and unlocked my bootloader because the unofficial workaround wasn't working and I've pretty much had it with this phone. I may have removed myself from getting that img.
Either way, there's nothing available to us beta testers that would help you guys out with any MM or theme info.

That one is actually a non-rooted rom. The way it works is like flashing a normal LG TOT, just u must be on the version it requires first.
Just watch the tutorials there (and yes, there are) and try to understand what your supposed to do according to that.
Its a full G5 theme, rootless.
Also you wont be voiding your warranty cause you didnt do anything that "ruins" the warranty according to the actual warranty files

OK, i don't want to root my phone anyway so that woukd be great, i prefer keep my warrantly safe & don't do anything that could "ruin" it!
But i'm not sure about "flashing a normal LG TOT" , what that mean?
When u talk about the version, it is v20a, v20c, etc ??
Do you know if it stable to use it?
And if i have any issue with this rom can i restore my phone to factory settings like i have right now?
Thanks for your help

So first thing, u need to be on version v20J, but it can be on any H815 variant.
Second of all, when i meant that its like any other TOT flash, you pretty much flash it in the same tool u flash V20J on, just you upgrade and not refurbish.
There is a tutorial in that thread, it may explain it better
And you do know how to use LG Flash Tool, right?
It`s just like installing a normal app and you can uninstall if you dont like and yes it does change the icons and also you get the G5 wallpapers. After you install it go into menu and then just change it under home screen (themes) then you will also get a preview before you apply it... :good:

Does it have the appdrawer with this thème?
Where did u found that thème link? On xda or somewhere else?
I didn't find it on the forum!
No, then you will have to get a custom rom that has ported the UX 5.0 , not just the visuals like this theme does...
I dont remember where I found it, its been a while since I downloaded it after searching both Xda and Google for new themes for the G4 as I tought the themes available in LG "store" was boring and more suitable for "kids" ..... So I searched around and found a bunch of different themes I liked and saved them
But just try it and You will see if you like it or not....... , it is easy to uninstall and will not do any "harm" to your phone :fingers-crossed:
But if You really want do customise your phone, I suggest You read up on the different ways to do it here on Xda , there are guides and descriptions of everything You need to know :good:

If you have any of the H815 variants (L/P/T/International [which means nothing after the H815] and etc) you shouldnt have an issue with the rollback. This isnt like with the carrier variants that block it.
Just make sure when you roleback on LG Flash Tool to click Refurbish on the KDZ, and not UPGRADE. I've made that mistake once = it equals soft brick, even though its MUCH easier to unbrick a non-rooted soft brick.

I'll see what I can do about maybe making a flashable for the Camera as this is just a Stock base I don't wanna add something others may not want. I'm super busy so may be a couple days. I'll also upload a new link that has the T-Mobile SIM unlock app added back.

Stock LG firmware version the ROM is based on. 10 is Nougat, 20 starts Oreo.
For some reason European bottle builds are at higher versions (20Y even 21A), but that doesn't mean they are more advanced than North American 20E.

If you referring to flashing this rom.. Ignore it like I did.. Some parts say 20d.. Magisk says it when flashing but you get 20k.. Mine rebooted 3 times for full boot.. Twrp acted up like I had nothing but recovery after flashing, but I have vendor partition with no treble rom.. The button key combo fixed the issue.. Booted normal and then recovery started acting right.. But if you looking for old to new, the higher the combination, the newer.. 10d>20d>20k

Maybe try adb pull /system which should have all the apks from system minus the ones with elevated privileges. Well if you have the g7 to do that from

Gonna have an update for ya guys did some tweaking on the kernel so grab your favorite kernel manager and see what settings work best for you!, removed T-Mobile boot for Pixel boot and Shutdown animation added all Android P UI notification and ringtones. More to come later trying to get best stock experience possible. Don't ask for original apks please they are pretty easy to find.
