If you're using xposed installer and want a little more theming capability then try this out. Its an xposed module. You'll have to download it as well as some themes to work with it. It doesn't change style of icons really it more or less changes some colors/ windows. Due to the us variants not having custom recovery and the ability to flash a deodexed ROM it lacks the ability to theme what all it should but does add a few subtle changes. I've been using it for a couple years with out any problem.
Its not my work so I'm not taking credit for it just passing it along for others to enjoy. It works fine with my T-Mobile D959. There is a thread on XDA somewhere with a ton of CM/AOKP themes port to work with it. And on a deodexed system it does /changes as much as the CM based ROMs are changes by themes from the app market. I'm using the original COBALT theme at the moment and have used pitch black and HUE themes. Those seem to do the most theming. Those also make your Google now black and SMS and phone app changes a little to. Most every app downloaded from the play store will be themed like normal due to them not being odexed. OK enough of the jibber jabber. Here's a drop box link to the xthemer beta5 module and a few themes I have on hand.
Again not my work just passing along. And I'm not responsible for you making really nice soap dish out of your phone.

Those are just a few I've been using. And like I said there is a thread about this module with tons of CM/AOKP themes ported to work with this mod. Happy theming.

I've been trying different ROM and each one seems to have their own unique hiccups. I'm looking for a ROM that stable and have all the features as a stock ROM. So far the closest to that is Aurora Full Note7 by Lanc-City. The only issues I'm having is that it sometimes it lag, mms group text doesn't work, and charging does not charge right.
[ROM] Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1 MM V3.2 (8/24/16) [910T/910W8/910T3] has been good, however, the dev has moved on so there is no continued development on it.

If you want everything working then go stock, root, install xposed with your favorite modules and get a good launcher.
I go back and forth between stock and project L ROM by Lanc-City.

I was using EPJ2 for a while and it's the best stock update so far. Had no issues with barely any lag. But I rooted I am now using Aurora 3.1 since I miss my note 7 lol. I had to use Textra since group messaging isn't working and no wifi calling. It's so far filling that void. I'm sure a lot of ex note 7 users can relate.
AICP and Broken are amazing
My daily driver, seemingly forever, will remain Emporia ROM (AKA Rapture ROM) on 5.1.1 Lollipop
I don't have an explanation why, but this ROM is WAY more fluid in every single aspect of the UI than any other ROM on marshmallow or Lollipop, and I have tried them all. Yes I am aware you can set animation speeds to be faster, etc. But even with them set to the default speed of 1x (I default use .5x for most), the entire ROM is more FLUID. Each transition is more smooth, every app opens faster and without lag, scrolling in every single app is WAY more fluid, etc. I actually noticed a huge visual difference between this ROM and stock or custom MM. The user experience is just way better in every way than Maximum Overdrive, Stock MM, Stock LL, etc.
Battery life is approximately the same for me on both MM and LL using Greenify on both. Doze doesn't seem to make a difference at all for me, when using greenify on both versions of Android. I get within 15 minutes of SOT on either one, so battery life is practically the same.
Finally, Lollipop still has all the features that Samsung so foolishly removed in MM! Namely, Smart Select is still amazing, it still has the engine for optical character recognition that is missing in MM, it still can select multiple things, and it can still open apps if it detects and address/phone number/etc!
So, basically, Emporia is the best ROM for me, and I have literally tried all of them. I do miss the full screen action memo's of Lollipop, but the extreme speed and fluidity throughout the system, never encountering a single bug, and the amazing features still present in Smart Select beat out all the insignificant improvements of MM.
Plus, I ported an AOSP theme for the notification area to Emporia ROM, that makes it a much more lovely experience.

My daily driver is the N5/N7_6.0.1_port V1 and I use Nova launcher, a dark icon pack, dark wallpaper and (Google-inspired) Material Design dark from the samsung theme store. Basically looks like clean, dark AOSP on top and has all the Samsung features underneath.
Everything from the font and theming is smaller and more refined in the Note 5 which makes a huge difference to me and really is a big reason why the Note 5's screen looks more nicer than the Note 4 screen imo (they're both 1440p!).
Everything is quite stable but the stock camera app doesnt work (for me, I dont know abt others) (I use a third party app) and I also use a third party app for video playback (I cant find the stock video app). Keep in mind this is a chinese n5 port and there is some chinese characters next to the time and date. Time to brush up on some chinese I guess. (I havent seen any other chinese on it thou lolz)
Its pretty good for a port though based on fluidness. And yes I tried the Emporia ROM recommended earlier. I loved it and everything WaterMan said was true but the Note 4 default theming and fonts are too big imo for a quad HD screen. Also that's where I got my inspiration to get the Material Design dark theme so my notification bar and settings look like stock aosp (Thanks WaterMan!).
I also use a snapdragon-optimized chromium browser so its more snappier.
And that's my daily driver, for now. Lolz
PS: be sure to upgrade to EPE3 (6.0.1) before flashing.

The stock camera was working fine for me...the sports shot, food shot, etc. extensions weren't.
Can you post some screenshots of your setup? ?

I've never used those features before Now I want them!
Here you go!
The red icons are purposely not coherent (egg).
For a minimalistic dark setup, simplistic dark black and/or grey icons maybe some sophistication but very minimal and clean.
I took pics of Material design dark and Material design black themes. (Disclaimar: black theme is $1)
Wallpaper from 244 Quad HD Wallpapers for Galaxy Note 4 collection on XDA.
Material design black
I'm using CM-Remix but it's giving me mad problems. Mainly, the Google app keeps crashing and it locks up when rebooting, sometimes requiring 2 or 3 reboots or wiping cache. It's godawful annoying but my hatred for TouchWiz is the only reason I torture myself with this ROM.
I'm looking for a new ROM myself. Looks like a new build of DirtyUnicorns is coming very soon. I may give that another shot.

Weird because I'm using it and I don't have any problems!!
I've been on AICP for several months, very stable. Resurrection Remix is getting close to being pretty stable, it crashes the phone when uninstalling apps - only problem I found that prevented me from dailying it.
Gonna try going back to TW for a while for better camera usage, will be flashing Overdrive 6.0.1 for the first time.

Looks like it but mine was done via OTA before I decided to root.

I have no clue what's going on with my phone as every ROM I tried is either lagging, freeze, or randomly reboot. I'm thinking about going back to stock. When I was on stock it would lag as well but not as bad as what I'm experiencing now. I'm currently using my phone without my microsd card to see if that is the culprit.
Hi fellow XDA users. I'm attaching my Swift Dark theme for Substratum. It's the full theme, and contains the latest fixes. As some of you know the Play Store version was suspended. It seems that Google didn't like something in the app descriptions and decided to suspend the apps. We are waiting for a response to our appeal.
Though, I'll hate to see the theme not being available for users while waiting for it to be available again, so here comes this thread. Please have respect and don't request my other themes. Swift for Samsung users can use this theme too.
Instructions and important information:
APPLY THEME WITH THIS APP (Substratum theme engine app): https://goo.gl/BgncEN
SAMSUNG NOTICE: The Samsung theme add-on (paid) is required for Samsung users. You'll be noticed about it when you launch the Substratum app on your Samsung device.
ANDROMEDA NOTICE: The Andromeda theme needs a separate, paid, addon to work. You'll be noticed about it when you launch the Substratum app on your Andromeda theme supported device. The Andromeda theme engine makes it possible to apply the theme on a rootless Oreo device.
ANDROID 8 / OREO NOTICE: You must reboot your device after installing or updating overlays on Android Oreo! This is required for the system to update the apps. Also, don’t apply all overlays at once, as it might cause issues. Apply 5 at a time.
ONEPLUS NOTICE: You need root
FAQ: https://goo.gl/ahZvYZ
APP ISSUES? Reapply the theme for that app and reboot.
WHAT IS NEEDED? for this dark Substratum theme to work? You need the Substratum theme app! And your ROM must support Substratum. You need to look this up yourself. ROOT might be needed for your specific ROM. An addon is needed for Samsung, which is paid, and the Andromeda addon, also paid, is needed for the Andromeda theme engine.

Looks like 12.6 you can check the FAQs he linked. It has the changelog.
Thanks Swift Team. No doubt it'll be good to go soon.
Much respect for a dev to release their paid work so that the users who bought the app don't miss out while the play store page is down.
We really need an open source community driven alternative market to google play where people can sell their apps. Google is taken down or threaten so many of apps in the last a couple days.

If Substratum would host their own shop for good themes, play store wouldn't be needed. However google wouldn't want such a shop on the play store
I just wanna say thanks so much to you swift dark devs for this! I was really worried this would be the end of my favorite substratum theme for my lineageos 14.1! Also, no matter what happens with your appeal know you will always have my support, I look forward to see what you guys create in the near future. Long live swift dark!
DroidRommer
Thank you for keeping support even out of playstore...
What's the difference between 12.6 & 12.8 besides having two Swift dark apps installed now, 1 playstore version & xda Version? There's no changelog.
As always thanks for your hard work & brilliant theme..

I am using Andromeda and Substratum for theming my Oneplus 3T. Currently Flux Theme works quite good but wanna know what other themes works good with Oxygen OS. I tried a couple of themes but some of them didn't worked. So asking everyone to share themes they know works.
Also does anyone know how to make Quick Setting Background complete black?

I have found that Swift Dark, Swift Black and Ozone are the only full functional themes for 3T. Currently, I am using swift dark theme. It works flawlessly.
transparent oreo/oxygen/nougat theme work on op3t
and Valerie
Which do you prefer and why. I have used both and can't figure out which one I like better so I'm reaching out to the community for their opinion lol. If you say substratum what is a good theme for Substratum?
i like them both, and often do a mix up with the 2 of them!
I like linear and Victory right now..

glorified nova prime launcher. I have no desire to implement another UI look than stock or nova.
I like the theme store better. For one I am not rooted and that makes substratum inconvenient to use. Even when I had a rooted Pixel and Pixel 2 most of the themes would never apply correctly. Maybe that's more to do with the theme developer than substratum but either way that's my experience. With Samsung themes I have had little to no problems with themes applying correctly since I started using it on my old Note 5. My only wish is that Samsung would allow for apps to be themed instead of just the system itself.
Thread cleaned.

So I was actually talking about the app Theme Galaxy where you can do a lot of customization like substratum.
