Device theme chooser now in settings - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

So I noticed in the display>advanced>device theme I can pick a theme I have installed via Substratum. Even after reboot I can choose between pixel and the installed theme. Now it only themes system UI colors. Is it possible to have complete themes and use this method? And has anyone else noticed this?

I suppose I was more curious on how an installed theme from Substratum ended up on the themes option list. I've always used full Substratum devices so the entire Andromeda thing is new to me.

because the mechanism that substratum uses is built into oreo, hence the setting is revealed as it thinks its a system resource.

Thanks I was able to install substratum by pushing masquerade as a system app which i extracted from a custom rom. I was able to use some themes ( not all overlays) will test it further more through the weekend and update

Thank you for the note on Swift Black & Dark. I purchased both because of your post. I was almost about to switch to a non-stock based ROM but then saw this!

just dont apply overlays on android system, otherwise power menu gets bugged and turns in soft reboot
Besides that, is it also possible to add full oms support to oos? By creating a custom rom oos based and add oms support?

I had already applied it all with Swift Dark and am not having any issues with my Power Menu or Reboot Menu. How can I test to see what's wrong that you're referencing? I powered off, I rebooted, rebooted into Recovery and again into Bootloader and all of it worked properly that I could see.

I'm using custom ROMs right now, but maybe the bootloop was caused for using old 7.1 instead of OOS to get black notifications, don't remember exactly sorry

when u say u have tried you mean lock clean or other substratum themes. substratum themes are known to cause bootloops unless you use swift dark/black or otherwise dont apply the android system overlay.

I have choosed the three option
1. Only_Status_Icon
2. Clean
3. Only_Lock_Icon
But still getting clock on lockscreen.
Please see the screenshot.
You should click on the floating button on the lower right . INSTALL AND ENABLE it should reboot your phone with changes
Edit
I just tried it as well and it removes everything else except the clock.

Substratum!!

Can i please know why any theme i apply on substratum will show my quick settings menu like this??
How can i make it normal, or is it an oreo thing?
This is what mine looks like running my theme,,,,sometimes you have to play around with the systemui overlay. Every once and a while it gets stuck or doesnt want to theme right,,,also try rebooting after applying the overlay.

Theme Alined does the same thing with my phone on oreo. No solution yet, but I turned off the interface overlay and applied it from different theme and it worked.

Its just that without the system UI and the status bar, the theme looks incomplete. And btw how did you apply it from a different theme?

Theming Oreo Beta on 5t

Does anyone have any guidance on theming the Oreo Beta? I've just downloaded the Andromeda app and client and applying Swift Black now... but I'm looking for any guidance/advice? For those who know something about theming OOS Oreo on the 5, or 3/T,... what can we theme, what do we have to stay away from? Any advice? I was hoping I'd be able to use the OMS themes I loved on my Nexus 6P once we got to Oreo... but I'm not really sure that they won't result in a bootloop knowing how OnePlus' frameworks and system UI aren't really stock android. Any Guidance?

Theming a device running Oreo using Andromeda (Substratrum) is really easy.

Hi I downloaded your theme. It's really fascinating. My question is how do I go back to the original one. I am unable to get to the original theme.
When I did try from the theme store I am still stuck with the black vertical lines coming in from the top and bottom of the screen. How do I get rid of those
Can someone please upload the stock theme here?
At least show the theme here before we try it out since there's no obvious way to get the stock theme back.

Dark theme or what we called invert version is not possible on oppo...
However there is a way we can customize a theme to make it look dark...
Example
My own Lambo theme
I'll pay $50.00 to someone who could make a good inverted theme with black background and have it work correctly where you can read all text.

To buy Oppo Find X or ViVo nex at this moment is stupidity cuz it's not supported by dev's. U can use these phones just like the lame iPhones. Waiting for s10 is wise.

Before you were trying to install the theme store app, when you said you have no theme store app, was it really not in the system, or its just hidden?
As far as I know, the theme store app is part of the system app, i.e. built in app.
So, I assumed when you installed the theme store app from this forum, it was not installed as a new app, but it was just updating the existing app? Am I right?
If that was the case, then your default theme store app must have hidden in the system... Have you try to wipe all the data i.e. reset to factory setting?

Thanks for answering. So yes, it's hidden and when I download theme store app, just update (from 5.0 to 6.1) but always hidden. I already tried reset to factory settings but nothing changed.
