Overlays? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Just wondering if anyone is working on overlays for skinning and theming various elements of the Note8's UI. I'm particularly interested in a shorter navbar height, and I tried applying the ones posted in the S8+ Themes forum, but they don't work for this device. Thanks in advance.

So far just the status bar partially themed (center clock), quick settings panel icons only. Nothing with Swift or balance. Of system UI. I sent error logs to the Telegram group in hopes they get things sorted out.

Swift for Samsung S8 which has dark and black combined. Choose BLACK AND AOSP for the Variant (although I'd guess they all work) then SYSTEM UI and SETTINGS I chose Cyan for my color. Viola ??

thanks ill give it a shot.

My only gripe with substratrum on samsung is I have to disable the theme i got from the samsung theme store. I actually found one i like but since those don't theme 3rd party apps, I was hoping substratum could take care of those. Either way, I'm SOL

Not that I've got.

I'm using the center clock and nav bar icons from here, but the AOSP status bar icons error out. Using dark notification, xperia black and blue keyboard and blue system UI from here. Got rid of T-Mobile carrier label here and got rid of the battery icon with SytemUI Tuner and a few adb commands..

There's a transparent nav bar, you can still use it - just can't see it.

Good Lock feature in Edge+

Hello. As some of you have seen recently on XDA News, Samsung has released a new Advanced UI called Good Lock.
Can anybody extract the APK, or port it to the Edge+?
Thanks!

I tried that link on my s6 edge and it would come up saying it had trouble parsing the file. Any way to fix it or get it to work?
works for me , audax rom .
Working for me. I'm in regular Marshmallow stock.
Still trying to decide if cool and useful or just eye candy useless feature... What about you guys?

Works great....the theme is ugly as hell though. Breaks all statusbar mods, removes dropdown theme...
I love the features, but I don't think I can live with it until someone bakes it into a ROM and makes it theme-able...
Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
Cool! Works fine with Stock 6.0.1
there is a way for change icons status bar in MM ??? (wifi, signal, battery) NO 3MINIT !!!
It works
Now it's not possible directly open the camera app (if you're using a screen lock like fingerprint).
But it looks great !

True. Completely agree.
Strange, since this is done by Samsung that it won't inherit theme settings.
For now I'm trying to "copy" the theme while changing the colors - It looks ok, and I really like the possibility to add widgets to the lockscreen (even having to swipe down to access it). The lost of quick accessing the camera is a drawback

Yes, you can.
Also, i discover the home button shortcut (press quicly twice) to open Camera, works.
Still trying to decide if it is better or worst than the default :S
Still using it yet.
