Just wanted your opinion on Layers and CM. Pros and cons, and/or which ones you ultimately prefer.
Share your thoughts
layers, easy answer. cm themes uses too many resources, and is aweful.

true, but I find CM has much more selection of themes, and from my research it is more user friendly as of now.

maybe, theyve been using it for a few years now, where layers is relatively newer. but, the use of system resources outweighs its user friendly ui.
CM themes on the fly but layers themes so much more...
I like layers, but it is not as popular and so it theme section isn't as good. that said there is so many cm themes and that puts it on top of layers for me.

CM, for the ability to apply icon packs within any launcher, especially with the Google Now launcher. If you don't care for icon packs, then Layers is great.

Which one do you guys recomend for theming. I have been running substratum with Nova.
I like the theme store a lot. I'm running a nice dark theme with some purple in it. I've heard of substratum, but never actually used it.
I haven't used Nova on this, so far. I never thought I'd utter these words, but I'm liking touchwiz on the Note 8!

I have always used Nova since my galaxy S2
however... now TouchWiz has the option to swipe down to pull the notification bar down and Substratum is here...
im using a mixture of Substratum / Overlays from XDA / Theme from Samsung theme store with TouchWiz
Also because of these new updates this is my first ever device i have not rooted (YET)
That's pretty big for me!

I prefer substratum and another launcher. Some of the theme store themes look pretty good but the themers are only allowed theme the samsung apps and you end up with the cohesiveness of your theme looking bad.

this was my issue when i used Nova, annoying seeing everything themed and then opening the edge panel and all the icons being totally different.
however the only thing that kept me off touchwiz was the notification bar not being able to be pulled down from anywhere, but now that's 'fixed' ive been using the theme store and overlays... only substratum theme im using is to get the clock centered. still lots more choice with Nova/other launchers but there are some hidden gems in the theme store, or you could even grab some xda themes if you wanna go through the hassle of getting them to stick.
also i dont think substratum has enough choice for Samsung users yet, maybe i am too used to substratum for stock android rom. so much customisation where as for us at the moment barely any in comparison, even less if you are not willing to pay for every theme.

I always forget about the edge panel lol. I'm using Nova now but think I'm going to switch to the theme store for a bit. There aren't a lot of choices at all for substratum yet. I was trying to find a way to change the nav bar but none of the over lays work that I have found.

There's an aosp one in the overlays thread. You could also edit the apk and replace the aosp icons with your own to make your own nav bar using Apkeditor from the playstore
I just like the stock Samsung one better

LOL, glad to hear I'm not the only one! I've been using Nova since my Galaxy S3 days and was always the first thing I installed but I haven't used it yet on my Note 8, kinda liking TW right now.

I have 2 x Themes from theme store by Lucas Kendi.
"Blac UI" is a free theme.
His theme has i think the Pixel navbars.
If you install theme it also changes the Samsung
navbar.Also ringtones, notification sound. Etc
So ringtones etc, you have to change back to you preferred ones
His other theme (i have) Oxy black also changes the navbar.
Overall i use a mixture of Nova Prime /Samsung Themes and Klwp themes.
I found that as stated by others Substratum
themes are very limited and not worth installing on Note 8.
As i already have most paid Substratum Samsung Themes
i use them mostly on my spare Note 5.

Thanks!
Looked promising but it creates a theme at the end rather than an installable overlay like substratum. It's a nice tool to make a theme though
(Only problem is I then loose my Samsung theme icons etc) also have to go through the whole getting a 'Free trial' theme to stick
I'm happy with my setup at the moment anyway :good:
The only other issue I had with that app was not enough options to change I could only change a few bits, was hoping to fully black out apps but could only do headers and status bar etc

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.

Hi Developer,
Bought paid one week ago and its really good. Hats off to your work on this substratum theme. I am on OnePlus since OnePlus 5 and at present i have OnePlus 6t.
I was waiting for this for long and you made it. Its really good man.
One suggestion- Please include transparent and semi-transparent backgrounds also if possible. Or it will be more cool when different level of transparent backgrounds options added.
Thank you
