It themes apps, but none of the system.
Was that with root or adb?

Hello everyone,
I wanted to know if my device (XT1068) is compatible with layers, I am on stock 6.0 rooted and have busybox installed already but im afraid it can cause bootloop, etc.
Thanks in advance

Android M natively supports layers. So just root and download layers manager app.

It doesn't matter. Try "Material Glass", works both with L and MM.
If you get bootloops (which are very unlikely to happen) just delete the faulty layer with TWRP. They are in /system/vendor/overlay
v2 Uploaded. Now includes uninstaller in the .zip file under "uninstaller" directory. This can be flashed in TWRP so it removes both the module
and everything Substratum writes in data (/data/system/theme and /data/resource-cache) hence providing you with a total clean slate in case
anything goes wrong. This is your reset button.
Of course you will have to reinstall the module before applying any new theme configuration. Failure to do so, Substratum WILL write in /system.
Uninstaller also available as a separate attachment on this post.
So this is the result of updating my device to Nougat and hating with a passion the white notifications which I find entirely unusable
The only way to theme the notifications is using a Substratum theme. If you're using a custom ROM with OMS support you're good to go
but for the rest of us with stock/TW etc ROMs you can only use Substratum Legacy mode on rooted devices which taints the system partition.
This module allows the use of Substratum themes in Legacy mode, without writing anything in /system.
Instructions:
1. Install module in Magisk and reboot.
2. Apply any Substratum theme.
3. Reboot.
In case of reflashing your ROM, as long as you don't wipe the data partition, the moment you reinstall Magisk, your theme will be automatically re-enabled.
Until the module is in the magisk repo, you can download the .zip and install from Magisk manager.
Github:https://github.com/Nodens-/systemless-substratum-legacy
This has only been tested on my own device, (Samsung S6 Edge+ 928F) running Stock Nougat.
It should work with any ROM and Themes which support the Legacy mode.

Also not tested. If Lineage supports the Legacy mode then yes.
Basic rule of thumb. If Legacy mode works on your rom, this will allow you to use it without writing to /system.

If you download the ZIP from GitHub, it creates duplicate empty folders. If you remove them, it'll work.

May I ask if this module will bring anything more than the Beta version of Substratum here ?
The Beta allows modification without root.

Actually it has nothing to do with the beta functionality which allows you to theme NON-SYSTEM apps without root. You can't theme the notifications with the beta for example.
The module allows you to theme everything you can theme in Legacy mode. But without writing in system partition.

Try using the module to theme apps then after reboot go back to core only mode, reboot and check SafetyNet again.

As posted in OP, I specifically made and tested this on TW Nougat.
In the Oneplus 3 stock oos rom i can use substratum in legacy mode, with this i will be able to use themes on settings or android system?
I can confirm it working with LOS 14.1 with Substratum in legacy mode on OP3T with theme Swift Black. I had to choose "v7.1 OMS" in Swift Black's settings.
My notifications are beautifully black now.
couldn't get it to work in a custom stock TW MM 6.0.1 rom for my Note 4. i installed the module, substratum theme engine from the play store and a couple of themes. selected the system ui to be themed, but after a reboot there was no change. the rom is deodexed with a permissive kernel so i don't know what else could be the problem.
Hi guys
Is any way to change green color in android pie to blue and add round corners like in Pixel without root?
No, Substratum doesnt work without root after Pie. If you are willing to root there is a magisk module called Pix3lify. It does all the things you want

I had to hide my Magisk install and now I lost the ability to theme the app. Is there a work around? It's not a big deal but I tried figuring it out on my own to no avail.

You'd have to edit the substratum theme to recognise the new package name

Can that be done within substratum or is something else required?
Curious about this as well, almost made my own thread but glad you posted this. I haven't hidden the magisk manager yet with a random package name because I suspected this would happen, but may need to do it for one of my apps to work properly.

You'd need to use android studio and decrypt the theme resources, uh basically you aren't getting it done without some effort.

Gotcha. Not worth the time to do thanks!
Reading through the changelog on the recent update to Swift, it's talking about some One UI stuff. And looking through the website, it's talking about not needing root for the Note 9.
Is this true? Are any of you users on One UI (unrooted) using Swift?
UPDATE: For anyone who doesn't know. Yes, swift now works on One UI Pie. FYI.
Are you talking about Swift Installer? There are a few apps out there called "Swift".
