[Guide] How to create rootless themes for Xiaomi MI A1 - Xiaomi Mi A1 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hello guys,
i want to make this guide to help all guys that want to use themes for mi a1 without have root, andromeda or substratum installed.
But to create them you must use substratum (with andromeda or root).
Disclaimers:
This is just a dimostrative guide.
I suggest you to use substratum's methods to have a huge way to personalization.
Don't share created themes without the permission of the originally themes's creators.
This cannot be used with all substratum's themes.
The themes created will just change System UI interfaces (settings interface, notification area).
I CANNOT give you themes.
Links:
Substratum:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum&hl=it
Andromeda:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.andromeda&hl=it
Apk Extractor:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ext.ui&hl=it
Guide:
You must use substratum to create a new rootless theme (that will can be installed without substratum), than u can use it with Andromeda or with the root.
1)Open substratum and choose theme and choose your current OS version.

}
2)Choose "Android System" voice (this can change according to the chosen theme).
3)Click on "Build & Enable".
4)Open apk extractor and search the apk of the theme apllied (this apk's change according to the chosen theme), and click it.
5)Open file manager and go on internal memory and search the folder called "Extracted Apks".
6)Install the apk previously extracted.
7)Now go to settings and click on "Display".
8)Click on "Advanced" and after click on "Device Theme" at the bottom of the page (
this voice will appear when you install at least 2 rootless themes).
9)Now click on the theme that you want install.
10)If the theme wil not be applyed just restart your device.
Remeber not all substratum themes can be rootless because they work together with other overlays other than Android System.
I hope I was helpful

Nice guide thanks a lot. Installing Andromeda is necessary.

I've tried downloading the Mega linksa few times, all the times the links are inverted, and the Box links are not working for me (don't know this is mine or your problem???). But your filename is clearly stated as old and new so no problem for identification.

Flatron v.1.1

Thanks a lot for this theme.. Looks really great.. Does your up coming themes includes blue and grey version? Plus is it possible to have the current setting menu with stock icons instead of red?
This theme is great...will you incorporate more icons like the lockscreen icons? It looks fantastic keep up the great work
Is there ANY way we can get a totally BLACK theme? I'm dieing!! this would be perfect (color wise) if it was pure black all over with the color options you have.
If it's only with gold instead of red for golden devices, it will be amazing, there are no golden themes out there :crying:. Regardless, grate job :good:
Orion coming this weekend.

To use this theme you have to have the Urban Theme installed on your device before flashing.
You can find the Urban Theme under Settings>>Themes>>Store under the section for Different landscapes of city section.
Steps:
1- If at all possible, have a backup before flashing a theme or mod.
2- Have the Urban Theme Applied.
3- Download the Flatron v.1.1 theme and put on your device.
4- Locate and flash the theme using FlashFire or flashing the zip in TWRP.

No need. Just select stock theme or any other in theme manager. If u want to uninstall it select Flatron theme and there will be an option to delete it.

If you want to flash any of the other themes that use the Urban template. You'll need to make these steps first.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER THEME APPLIED BEFORE DELETING ANY FILES. Then, go to the Theme store and delete the urban theme(which now has a different name), followed by, using a file browser with root access, remove any of the following left on your phone:
all of the folders in /data/app/ begining with br.org.sidi.Urban
/data/overlays/font/br.org.sidi.Urban0
/data/overlays/preview/br.org.sidi.Urban
/data/overlays/lockwallpaper/br_org_sidi_Urban_wallpaper.png
/data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson/br.org.sidi.Urban.json
Reboot after deleting these files. Then you can start the Urban install process again for your custom themes.
Make sure the regular Urban theme is working on your phone, then flash the ZIP.
is there anyway you can realase this awesome theme on samsung theme store
Can't download from the link. Does anyone have an alternative link?

You can try and tell us. But it should work.
Hi!
I flashed this on eXistenZ M and all emojis are shown correct, except for 3 rows. There something is messed up. See screenshot...
Hope this can be fixed. Would be nice...
Otherwise I'll have to manually place a set of Apple Emojis into system with a root file manager, which is the way I usually do it on any rom...
Best regards from Germany,

Easier way is to download Emoji Switcher and select Google (Lollipop / Marshmallow) to return to stock emoji

So, for your problem, I don't know, if you have Cyanogen ROM, it's normal because this theme is made for Xperia Theme Engine ONLY.

Do you have a plan to update this theme? Changing the home button or removing the blue bar on the bottom of the lock screen? Or maybe even updating it to be more like Google pixel. I have a Z5 by the way.
Anyways, thanks for the great theme.
Edit: oh sorry, just read that it's not yours.

Probably because its not theme for substratium or other theme engine.
Also its off topic for this thread

I can't get substratum theme engine working and I don't know why. It worked on every other phone I had, except on the G6 (rooted)

You need custom rom (like aosp based, not stock based) for the substratum themes to work.

not really. It worked on the HTC 10 and even on my old G3 (both stock roms) without any problems... Atleast app theming, things like SystemUI changes didn't work of course

Well full substratum theming only works on aosp roms is that right ?
App theming is working on some and doesnt on other phones but for full themes..
Not working here either (H870 Stock)... Says something about overlays pending reboot, but stays like that forever...

You need an AOSP rom with RRO support to get full Substratum theme support.
Otherwise Substratum runs in legacy mode, and depending on the theme some things will work and some won't, you also need a reboot everytime you apply.

Even after reboot it still says the same. The 'pending for reboot' overlays are all LG related, and the ones I may install don't even appear on the list, so my guess is it's just plain incompatible with the G6 framework... Although I did own a G5 previously running the stock rom, and some overlays worked, such as Ewhatscolour...

Try to see Super user permission, sometimes Subatratum is not granted SuperUser rights automatically, you have to do it manually.
