Here's how you achieve OMS level black theming with MIUI 9
Use any of : EU, Globe or Epic ROM
Magisk v14 installed - core modules only
MIUI theme: Use Black Zone OR Black Eagle Light
MIUI Lock Screen (see gif) - Star Track theme for Mi Mix 2
Font: Samsung S8 Regular
Install substratum app from play store
Substratum theme: I used Swift Black
Note: Do not select "Android System", "Settings" and "SystemUI" for theming using substratum. And restart immediately after applying to avoid bootloops

[Workaround]Get Rid of Ugly Navbar in Nexus 5 Running MIUI

Hey there guys...
So today I will be giving a small guide to get rid of ugly navbar in Nexus 5 running miui.
Lets Begin
Requirements :
1)Nexus 5 running MIUI.
2)Xposed Installed(All likns will be provided in the bottom of the thread).
3)I will be listing a couple of paid apps so you if you want to use them you may need credit card or you can use whatever method you want to buy those apps.
4)A bit of patience.
Lets Start.....
I will be dividing this guide into two parts
1)Using stock MIUI launcher
2)Using 3rd party launcher.
Using Stock MIUI Launcher
We all know N5 have that kitkat navbar which looks ugly on MIUI.So to get rid of that first flash Lollipop navbar(link is at the bottom).
After Flashing it your navbar will be same as we see in lillipop but is not transparent(actually it is transparent but MIUI launcher makes it black).
So if you are a user like me who love setting dark wallpapers then you should'n have much problem with it becauser when you set a dark wallpaper navbar color and wallpapers colour matches and it looks perfect as you can see in Screenshot 1.
But if you don't like dark wallpapers then it looks preety damn ugly even if you flash lollipop navbar.So to get rid of that install Gravitybox xposed module.
After activating it go to Navigation bar settings and enable navbar(You have to do this if you want to customize it).After enabling it reboot your device.Again go to gravitybox>navbar settings and enable custom key colors and set key color to black so navbar willl look like a black strip on the screen which feels like it is bottom of the phone and not navbar.Now you can set whichever wallpaepr you want.You can see it in Screenshot 2.
Using 3rd Party Launcher
First download force translucent xposed module and activate it.After activating it set translucent navbar to all apps in app settings.
Then download MIUI launcher from play store(I think its just heavily modded nova launcher but it looks a lot like MIUI).
Download MIUI icon pack(this is paid app)
Set MIUI (Downloaded from gplay) as your default launcher and apply icon pack.There you go you have MIUI launcher with transparent navbar.

How do I change default Samsung navbar icons to stock?

What's the easiest method to change from Samsung's default navbar icons to stock android pixel style. I've tried using Samsung themes but the AOD still has the default Samsung style.
My phone is not rooted btw. Thanks

Use Substratum
"My Phone"

I use the theme - Material Design (Android 7+) by Cameron Bunch - from Samsung Theme store.

Substratum. Unlike themes you can change just the nav bar and not the whole phone

Why not just turn off the home button on your AOD?
I use pixelizeD theme and just turned off the home button on my AOD. You can still press the button, it just won't show and it looks cleaner.

Cool thanks for sharing.
When I change my icons with Pixel Launcher Mods the screen refreshes often and pulls up the last used app, which makes it very cumbersome to use my phone. So I disable "apply icons when app updates" which causes some icons to remain stock unless I force apply.....
Do you have this same issue. I like your icon pack, but if 2 of my home screen icons are stock it ruins everything for me.

Yes same issue, I set battery to not optimize the app and after a while it settles in. It still happens, just not as often as it did.

I just want to say thank you for doing this! Is it possible to have a 7x8 grid at all? That's what I use for my Lawnchair launcher, but I find the Pixel launcher is way less buggy and more smooth.

I've installed all the apks and the module. But when I click on either the command center app or the pixel launcher editor app it opens it like I went into the settings and clicked on apps; it doesn't actually launch the app it opens the app settings. Anyone else getting this or know why?

Command center is a widget so apply via widget menu (long press home). The editor is accessible via subtrantum. I recommend substratum lite. Look at instructions in post 2 for installing the overlays. Neither of the apps have a UI, so that's why it goes to app settings

Ok. I guess I'm just missing something. When I open the pixel launcher editor and make all the changes nothing sticks. I back out and go back in and everything is back to default. The instructions say to build the theme 3 times. I'm not sure how to do that. For someone who has never dealt with substratum before the instructions are kind of vague.

I originally did this as means to give custom options to people who enjoy the Pixel Launcher and was planning to release on the Play Store. Since it required a modified Pixel Launcher via Magisk, I decided to release it to the public via XDA.
The Magisk module is needed in order for the options in the Substratum theme to install and function properly!

Q & A
Q: Will this mod work on other Pixel Devices?
A: Each Pixel device starting with Pixel 2 has its own thread. Please check in the corresponding device forums.
Q: There is no thread in the Pixel 3a or Pixel 3aXL forums, where can I find the mod for this device?
A: The mod is exactly the same as the one for the Pixel 3(XL), go there for download.
Q: There is no thread on the Pixel 4a or Pixel 4a 5g forums, is this compatible with those devices?
A: Unknown, I have no way of testing on those two devices. If you would like to become a tester send me a private message. You must know how to use ADB and willing to suffer force closures.
Q: When will this mod be compatible with the Pixel 4a and/or Pixel 4a 5g?
A: I need someone on the latest firmware for those devices to send me the Pixel Launcher apk. It is located in /system/system_ext/priv-app/NexusLauncherRelease/. Once this file is sent to me I will be able to make this mod compatible with those devices.

ayyy nice work!!

Nice work bro :good: great features!

Thank you for this. I just came from the Pixel 4, and was using your editor!

Just updated to Nov. OTA...no update to mod required.

It works on the Pixel launcher and the framework. I have not been able to make it work on SystemUI. So your milage will vary with other sub themes, but for what this mod uses it works 100%

Works great on my Pixel 5, thanks for the app!

Great Work!
Finally one can easily customize pixel launcher now! Thanks a lot!
And a dumb feature request from me, can you add dynamic icon masking like on Lawnchair V2 and Hyperion to Pixel Launcher?
Don't mind me if what I am asking is impossible. I don't know how launcher3 or things work .

There is an app for that already but currently broken on Pixel 5 (worked on p2-4 even on android 11). I already let the dev of that app know. Hopefully he will update it. If he does I'll link to his thread.

Looks like custom icons are working again. Check post above or 2nd post for link.

I've noticed an oddball issue after applying a theme. The overlay theme I created is for a 5x6 grid with the Google Search removed. Once that gets applied and I reboot, I'm not able to add correctly sized widgets. When I go to add a widget (weather, google search, color note, etc) it adds a row to the widget size. For example, the (normally) 5x1 google search widget gets listed as 5x2, and takes up 2 rows on the home screen after adding it, and it can't be resized to only be a height of one row.

The app that is linked two posts above yours has the ability to resize widgets! That's what I use.

Some screenshots of the resize widget part

that worked, thanks!

Some things are brewing! Will simplify the install process and it includes a color picker!
