Hi,
Just a thread to agregate all the infos about compatibilities
I'll keep this first post updated if you give me informations.
Additionnal information :
OMS Support for LOS
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/substratum/reference-lineageos-substratum-support-t3580276
Free themes :
ModernUI : not bad, but black on black on the ambient display (when screen is all B&W). Except that, I love the look.
Inversion UI : not bad, but black on black on the ambient display (when screen is all B&W). Same in the Phone and contact app.
Greyce : No problem with it, but doesn't theme a lot of things. Just have some Grey on white menus on olds app I have. I'll stick on this one for a minimal black UI theming.
Update 8th feb : Contact and Phone is themed (keeping some white areas, but OK for me)
S.i.X themes : I tried even if not supported except Pure Nexus and S.i.X roms. Bootloop...
Paid themes :
I plan to test some of them and report here, starting with the ones compatible with 7.1.1.
Swift black : Reported as really good by @Exodusche . A lot of apps themed
Domination : Reported as really good by @Exodusche . Fewer apps themed, but accent colors
LoNe 4SuBs : seems to require OMS support. Waiting for the dev answer to see if it worth to be tested
Thanks for sharing your views on it if you already tried some of them.
Using Swift on Lineage based RR and it works pretty good. Notifications still have a White Background.

There is no choice I think. Or the ambient display can't show the texts or titles (black on black), or the notification stays white...
Do you have problems on contacts, phone, inbox or Gmail app? All blacked themed with swift?
Swift Black is incredible always being updated and has options for every ROM type also Domination both have never let me down usually ROM issue if so both apply pure black Domination has accent choices where swift does not but themes more like calendar and G maps etc
Lineage has OMS support?

Not really. Some are trying to extend that :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lineage/general/progress-support-oms-t3546841
But some themes devs make them compatible with it.
Ex from the swift black description :
Boost your stock rooted ROM with this pitch black theme for the Substratum theme engine. It fully supports Android 6, 7.0 and 7.1 / Google Pixel / OxygenOS 4 / LineageOS / OMS + it works without TBO Theme ready gapps! Please read the description below before using the theme.

And that's why sometimes, the contact app is an issue....

Did you apply all overlays? Does it not bootloop when applying the framework overlay?

Just bought it.
I choosed "V 7.1". Applied all and no bootloops.
I reopen most of themed apps and everything is OK.

I read that it doesn't theme framework to avoid bootloops.
What isn't themed? Notifications? Settings? Google?

Notification are slightly grey on the lockscreen, becomes white when expanded
Settings are black with Blue neon accent.
Google is themed
For example, Inbox : open the app, the message list is all black. When you open one, all the top is black but the message is on a white zone.
On contacts and phone, it's all black....

Only issues I've had with framework and swift black was Oxygen 3.1.4 but customs ROMs OMS, legacy (Non OMS) and OOS 3.1.3 no problems at all Domination and Compound pretty much the same
With Google plus yesterday's update, it crashes.
Had to reapply all and OK
oxygen os
my setup is oxygen os substratum theme, with oneplus 3 accents
I installed substratum and applied greyece and everything worked fine but after applying pixel theme theme stayed to greyece so I uninstalled overlay from overlay manager of substratum after that phone rebooted and stuck in boot screen...on using march03 (first build) of lineage is in zuk z1....anyway to use substratum???
Long pressing power button soft reboots. Also disabling the USB debugging allows it to boot, else just reboots & sticks on boot screen. Any recommendation?

Same here.
I boot to recovery/bootloader etc via the TWRP app.
Hi,
Is it possible to change the app menu of Pixel to night theme?
What do you mean by the Pixel's app menu? Can you post a screenshot?
Probably talking about the launcher drawer...
My guess is you're taking about the settings menu. I don't believe you can in stock. However, I'm unlocked running the pure nexus rom and I can theme just about any color I want with substratum.
Substratum works in legacy mode on stock. Need root, certain themes work perfectly eg: swift dark, swift black.. no need for theme ready apps either. Settings, app drawer etc. It's all themed.
Swift dark is basically the old night/dark mode that we used to have in the dev previews. Swift black, self explanatory.
Has anyone else noticed on their pixel or pixel xl that at night, their ui is in dark theme and then during the day is in light theme? I've noticed this on 2 pixel xl devices that at night, my folder, notifications and settings ui is all dark.
I can't find anything on this online though i know dark theme was possible with some tweaks before but this would have come directly with a pixel launcher update.
I'm running stock Android 8.1.0 with the latest security updates.
pixel launcher 8.1.0 4429924
It's dependant on the wallpaper

I finally got the same answer from someone at the Google helpdesk and realized what it was. I wish they would enable a toggle for the dark theme that followed the sunrise sunset adaptive brightness.
Hi, i have ocd with white system ui and would like to change it to dark mode. As our device is currently on 8.0 that means there is no system support builtin for theming.
I know zenui offers its own theming but lets be serious here , changing wallpaper and icons is not called theming.
Here in this thread i would like to know if anybody has tried andromeda support for rootless substratum theming on zenfone 5z. If yes, then how it works. Also would like to know if it would be bad option to go this way. Any other theming method suggestions are also welcome.
In past root had been my daily friend so i had no struggle with theming. Hope, that will be true here. Just waiting for development to settle.
Update : Ok so i went ahead and purchased andromeda for rootless substratum.
So far i have tried swift dark theme. I was able to theme most of the google apps but no success with system ui. I believe that it a drawback from asus that zenui is not OMS ready.
I will try bunch off other themes and see where i can get.
I did the same thing 2 days ago with the same results. Sucks. I also paid an tried another theme, same results, it's was Sai's Oreo dark. The Swift dark theme also crashed my Outlook from opening and affected other apps negatively as well.
Please let me know if you find one that changes the system UI a well!!!!
I am not sure about the system UI but I can get the Settings page to go dark using 'Dirty Dark' from Playstore. You guys can try that. Andromeda and substratum works fine for me. I also have swift black. It does the heavy lifting for me. I miss AOSP. I just don't see myself liking the zenUI. It lacks A little elegance for my taste.
Attaching a screenshot of the settings page.
I've been using Substratum for a couple of years, and I've never had the engine soft brick a device until now. For anyone interested, Swift Substratum theme works really well on Pie OOS.
There's a theme engine that uses Swift as it's base, so if you've already purchased Swift Theme, don't purchase Swift Theme Engine.
If you want to use Substratum, use Pie compatible themes and don't use Clean-Locksreen or Curve for now with this beta build.

Do you happen to know any theme that has centered clock and works with OB20? Ozone theme doesn't work with pie and I'm doubtful that it will get updated since the last update was months ago...
I really miss centered clock

You'll probably have to wait for Xposed to become available for Pie. Funny thing, on Oreo, everyone was asking for mods to put clock on left side, and now you want centered clock on Pie. Options, options, options, don't you love Android.
