Hello fellow OP3 owners;
I recently rooted my OP3 and am a noob when it comes to Layers. I've only ever used CM theme engine. I'd like to stay on Oxygen until the binaries for dash charging are released.
My question is, does Oxygen support Layers? Now that I am rooted is there anything special I might need to do to get it working?
Anybody with expertise to discuss is appreciated. Hope everyone is enjoying their new device as I am
Cheers!
Just installed layers manager and layers showcase from the play store and it worked. Sweet. It also doesn't trigger the safetynet check so if you are using systemless root, Android pay should still work. The downside though is that many layers on the play store don't list compatibility with the OP3 so many of them are harder to get from the showcase app.
Edit: Should mention I'm on OOS 3.1.2 with systemless SuperSU.

Every theme *should* work but I've noticed most ones that theme the "Framework" have issues such as not booting or rebooting when you get power menu style popups.

Have the same exact prob.
All right, I flashed the latest Open Beta on my OnePlus 5 and even successfully rooted it.
When the Andromeda Project was initially announced, I was very excited to try it out. Now that we finally have Oreo on our beloved OnePlus 3, I thought to try it out.
I followed all the instructions:
Installed Substratum > Installed Andromeda > Installed the Desktop Client and followed the guide completely.
Still, NO LUCK
Any of you guys got any workaround to make this thing work on our OP3? This thread is open to discussing all the possibilities! :highfive:
Yes I got a workaround.
I rooted it.

Even I have rooted bro I am talking about full theming support.. Not just partial support
It works no root
When I installed substratum, it prompted me for root access and I granted it. Guess I shouldn't have. Could you please some screenshots of the themed dialer/settings/quick settings?
Mine not working ?
*edit2*
You need to "compile & active" your favorite theme 5-10 times. It's like gambling ??

Confirmed: March update breaks Substratum on rooted stock Rom's and custom ROM's with OMS
____________________________________________________________
Hi guys,
I updated yesterday my Pixel (March Security Update & Pixel 2016) and after setting up I want to use the Swift Dark Theme (Center Clock for O don't work too). So Substratum compile everything without problem and after a reboot still everything white. Someone else have problems with Substratum?
Confirmed. It did break Substratum on a stock non-rooted phone. Not sure if the rooted ones still work. Hopefully the Substratum team will fix it soon.

No problems here on rooted (Magisk v16) stock. I did have to apply the themes about 6-8 at a time, or I had issues like those described in the OP.

Thanks man
Build and enable overlays..reboot..go back in to subs and select enable and Bam!! Took me a while of playing with it the last two days but this "seems" to work
Apply the theme.
Reboot.
Go back to Substratum (bind with andromeda if not rooted).
Apply the same theme again.
Mostly works!!
Reboot.
Enable again in Substratum.
All works!!
Note: Am on stock unrooted.

It actually is just a bug with Package installer in the March update.
Many people approached us and thinks this is a big problem.
Instead of constantly Building and Applying...
1. Install all overlays you plan to use (Build and Update)
2. Reboot
3. All overlays installed before the reboot can be enabled/disabled. If you build and compile again, a reboot will update it.
NOTE: Building overlays and installing them IS NOT the fix. Please do not spread that fix.

What was wrong with cm theme engine that we gave up on it

Nobody gave up on it, it died when cm died and Lineage haven't resurrected it...
@nicholaschum - apart from reverting the two commits (in six files) and building from source so that rebooting isn't necessary again, has a simpler alternative been found?
There were mentions of a couple of fixes in the designers chat but there were no references.

Just need to revert one file and one line only. You don't have to revert the security patch.
Seems like a lot of developers believe tampering with what a security patch committed is such a big deal. If they actually read the code, a one liner is easily doable.

Thanks @nicholaschum, that's sorted it - no reboot necessary now :good:
I am facing so many issues.
Microphone not working, phone getting restarted frequently and hangs.
This is happening only after March update and the pixel team does not have a fix yet. Can't call this a flagship service. Customer service is very much cool and calm after thousands of pixels are almost dead for a few days till now.
No response from Google yet.
Using substratum through andromeda on stock beta oxygen os with april security patch. i am using only (swift black)
follow steps below to use theme again
* Follow these steps with your own risk , I am not responsible if any damage caused
1 You have to uninstall all overlays from substratum
2 update all apps , theme ,substratum from play store.
3 open substratum through andromeda desktop client. (only for non rooted)
4 Select theme and click on overlays which you want to install
5 Click on build & install (let the processing to be done)
6 After that all overlays appearing in pink color
7 Restart your device (if nothing happens follow further steps)
8 open substrarum again (use desktop client if non rooted)
9 Click on manager icon
10 enable select to toggle all overlays and click on change overlays states (placed in blue floating overlay button)
11 Reboot device again
BOOM all overlays are installed and apps themed perfectly.
For me substratum themes doesnt work on latest stock. Has anibody same problem?
I think if you google you might be able to find Pixel Oreo wallpaper/launchers that could help you customize it a bit. I just use Pixel wallpapers of Lagos or somewhere that I found a half year ago. I no longer use their customization as I found it lagged things a tad. But that experience was on a past Pixel experience ROM (7.x, I believe) when I then adapter to other custom ROMs.
Substratum is working fine for me on Oreo stock

How? When i install layers nothing hapens.
They need to be enabled after installation... Choose manager and then 'change overlay states'... I'm on stock, no root, with Andromeda
Ok just got my new Moto z2 force, and it has the Sep 2017 security update.. Now all I want to do is root and debloat my phone (Ssprint). Should I update to the latest before unlocking the booloader, or just go a head.. Thanks

I would go ahead with the update and then unlock the bootloader and install TWRP + Root.

Security Patches coming all 60 days, rigth? So, next one after mai patch is the 07/2018 patch, which should come next month. Maybe with 8.1?

Nice. @Uzephi has a kernel for stock ROMs and one for AOSP based ROMs. I have used the stock ROM kernel with good results and zero issues. Good luck and happy flashing!!

Sure, but I see some problems by using of custom roms on my other phone (Z Play), so I prefer to get official updates without unlocking the bootloader for my newer Z2 Force. Second reason is the guarantee for manufacturer issues. And I need the Z2 Force for watching videos like netflix and co, so safety net needed. SD 835 can content play in HD from netflix, so important thing. On Z Play I can see the pixels (just Full HD), but on Z2 Force it's perfect. Much better, you can't see pixels anymore. That's perfect to play movies. Many people try to explain that we can't see the difference, but I see it. VR an Co is all better now. And I hope that we get 3 years Security Updates. It's an expensive business phone for 800€, so we should get updates for long time.

I am rooted with Magisk V16.0 on the stock ROM right now and I have never had an issue with passing SafetyNet. Passes every time. All my apps work too including Netflix. No issues with the Play Store not allowing me to download apps by saying the app is not compatible with my device.

I have no issues as well with downloading any apps from Play Store.. Only quesiton, when installing a new kernel. Is it like on other phones, wipe cache before flashing the kernel? I don't want to screw up a FREE PHONE from Sprint. LOL

You can book YouTube Premium(europe). Then you get support for background playback. That's new, calls YouTube Red, too. Maybe that helps.
Edit: VivisClone, you was faster with your answer, just few seconds. But yes, that's the way.
Anyone know how to install Xposed on this deivce.. I tried the new sdk26 v90 beta which is all they had for Oreo 8.0 but made in Jan 27 2018. It ended in a fail..

Try to mount system. Install Xposed. Switch to other slot (a or b) , restart twrp, mount system and install again.

You can use the YouTube Vanced edition that is available as an apk or get it from Magisk. It allows background playback and ad blocking plus some other settings that the stock YouTube app doesn't have like forced Codecs and Max resolution override as well as a few themed editions. It's the only version of YouTube I will use. There is even a version available for non-rooted devices that still gives the same options.

I just use telegram pop out and I get background and screen off play without root.
I can't get my phone to update. Every time I try, it says "Software update unsuccessful" and under that says "Sorry, there was a problem updating your Moto Z2. No changes were made."
I keep getting the popup on unlock to update, but have to go to "remind me later" every time since it wont successfully update. I'm trying to update security update 1 May-2018. And software version OCXS27.109-48-6

It won't update if you're rooted/twrp or have modified the system in any way.
