Tested working on MI5-Gemini running on CM14 LineageOS, Other CM-Based ROMs still to be tested.
NOTE: Admin kindly delete this thread or close it if it has already been discussed.
WARNING: Your device may end up in bootloop if you are not careful! Follow at your own risk! BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE...
Now, unto the best part!
Tired of the whites? Try going dark! We all know CM Theme engine has been missing on the latest CM 14.1 builds. And we all know that substratum causes bootloops in cm 14.1 based ROMs. I have found a workaround for this problem through a substratum theme provided at the playstore (hurray to the developers!)
How to make it work (Root Access Required)
1. Download substratum app at the playstore
2. Install this paid theme (also at the play store)
(Swift Black Substratum Theme *compatible with Nougat 7.1.1)
3. Open substratum and select Swift Black Substratum Theme
4. Allow root access
5. Choose android version 7_1_1or 7_1_1_OMS
Patch everything Except Android system!
(Device may end up in bootloop if you do so... I havent tested compatibility with this yet so if you are not sure, un-check it! (Refer to attached pic in post)
EDIT: if you choose 7_1_OMS setting it will work fine without bootloops even after patching Android System provided, that the thene supports this option. (thank you @etoy)
6. Restart device.... Enjoy!
Credits to all the developers of Substratum and theme makers!
and to Cyanogen/LineageOS
*This is my first XDA thread ever so please forgive me if i cant post some links and pics ATM(due to post requirements) but im very much obliged to answer your questions)
Confirmed working settings for LineageOS in substratum
*Android 7_1
*Patch everything except android System
*Theme is lost after every LineageOS OTA update or Version update.
*If this happens just re-patch substratum all over again...
*Haven't tested Non 7.1.1 compatible themes, only this one... If other themes worked for you, then let me know so i can check out too...
UPDATE:
Using an alternate rooting technique for the latest LineageOS Build, I got it up and running again!
*Works with 7_1_OMS setting

i'm using swift black theme on 0116 lineage and i can confirm it works 100%
i applied all v7_1_OMS overlays (including "android system") which should cause bootloop, but it totally worked somehow.. all apps are OK, notifications are black, accent in settings icons is themed.

Other working themes (Free on Playstore)
PixelUI(fully compatible with 7.1.1 LineageOS)
Galaxy Evolution (fully compatible with 7.1.1 LineageOS)
SIX Theme(Works but dont patch "Android System")
Lemme know if any other themes worked for you so we can add it on the list!
The only substratum stuff I want for LineageOS is the font changer!
I also tested some others Substratum themes ... will add functional later.
I do hope they will be fully compatible with LineageOS soon as CM Theme manager seems to be dead on CM14.1 due to a different RR implementation.

Thank you very much for your help, I just flashed the latest version of LineageOS and everything back to normal, specially no data loses. I did the same method which you mentioned in the screenshot and it's working perfectly.

1. You don't need to install that paid theme. I'm using Pixel UI Substratum theme just fine. Those instructions are misleading. One might think he need to put money in that theme developer's pocket as a necessary step to use Substratum.
2. Dark theme is cool and less painful for your eyes. And that's about it. Less battery drain? Only on AMOLED display. Our MI5 is LCD so the leds will produce light. On black, on gray or on white. No difference. And even on AMOLED displays, a dark theme will save battery only on true black (#000000). Anything else means led "on" and therefore power consumption.

not on lineage. some other roms have full support to OMS/substratum/masquerade/rro/layers or how the hell they call it now. those roms have full compatibility with subs themes, including android system, fonts, bootanimations, etc and usually don't require a reboot

Yes... However, Google merged a commit which broke RRO in source with 7.1.1. It's currently broken for any 7.1.1 ROM. Don't use it to theme Android System or SystemUI. Anything framework related will cause a boot loop. IIRC, someone involved with substratum development commented on the change and a Google engineer replied back saying it was already fixed internally and they would push an update soon. Might come with a quick 7.1.2 follow up, maybe the January security update, or maybe later. We'll just have to wait and see.
That's legacy though, ROMs with OMS should be okay. Just know how to recover if you boot loop.

Don't blame the theme, it didn't do anything on its own. Substratum gives a very clear warning about bootloops with stock 7.1.1 that you willingly chose to disregard.

Swift Dark is 7.1.1 compatible. I am using it on stock Nexus 6P with no problems. She probably didn't choose the correct Android build from the drop down menu when installing the theme.

That may be but Substratum doesn't officially support stock 7.1.1 at this time, and blaming a theme for 'killing my 6p' isn't cool.

Substratum does warn of potential bootloop problems but Swift Dark theme has a drop down menu to choose the correct Android version before installing. The dev of that theme does say you can disregard the Substratum warnings, which obviously wasn't wise in this case. But that theme won't screw up a 7.1.1 stock Nexus phone if it is installed correctly.
People also ignore the instructions that Substratum doesn't play well with CM based roms and complain when it screws up their phones. Most of the bad reviews in the Play Store are from people who didn't read the instructions first.

Yeah, I don't have all round icons either, but I guess that is because the app itself don't have a round icon.

I suppose but still a well done job !
I was using LineageOS and tried porting Pixel Nav bars. I have successfully ported. I will start porting again for AOSP ROM.
I've just come from Dirty Unicorns and Pure Nexus on a 6P, and I've loved substratum for theming my phone. But... OOS would be legacy, I understand. Has anyone tried Subs on OP5, any recommendations? I've also seen a Magisk module for making legacy systemless. Anyone tried it? I don't feel like boot looping my new phone!
Also if I'm just rooted, can I install themes like swift black?
Don't use Substratum on OOS, rooted or not, I tried it and ended up having to restore the backup I'd made after it caused all sorts of complications, my advice? Wait for the custom roms to start appearing.

Thank you for saving me all sorts of trouble.
I tried "Navigate" to configure the navbar. Works without issues. But i wouldn't apply system wide themes. Like @djsubterrain said.
With root you can apply themes system wide that support OOS (I think only swift dark and black right now)
I did and it's working fine, full black apps and system.
If you're paranoid then you can just theme apps and use built in themer to make system black or white.
Does anyone tried ozone substratum?
im rooted and with sustratum working fine, im using swift black and inversion themes.

Yeah... I was always able to theme via substratum on all of my rooted devices, including oneplus 3 on stock.
The thing is, you generally, (lie 99% of the time) should not theme system ui or android system as that almost always results in a bootloop.
This is with the exclusion of themes specifically designed for oxygen os like k clock and swift dark
Sent from my Moto Z Play using XDA Labs

Yes, that will do, I'm running that too. There is an option to enable OxygenOS 4 compatibility right under the logo. That will make sure that you have a compatible (a.k.a. none) SystemUI overlay

I use it for centered clock, QS Tiles 4 icons and Clear All (tasks) button on the left.
No problem so far.
I'm using Valerie as the main theme, and Big Blu to fill in things that Valerie doesn't do.
Also, Ozone for center clock and QS 5.
Fontio works with a .ttf file (or choose one of the provided fonts) if you use the flashable zip option - in the settings there's a place to create a restore zip, so do that first in case. Both files will be put on your internal memory in a Fontio folder.
edit: I forgot that the power menu doesn't work with this setup, so I made my own with Tasker/GMD.

Stock has the same substratum support as freedom Os... It's the legacy layers theming, so if you root stock, it will work the same way. Just install the substratum app from the store and try out. ?
fully working here, rooted with magisk and substratum is ok with theming everything, but yeah, like above, power menu doesn't work and if pressed it soft reboot phone... resolved installing material power menu

...Soon™
As the title suggests, I installed OOS Oreo Open Beta 1, and neither the default system dark mode nor Substratum overlays work. In Substratum, it says overlay installation successful, but then it doesn't show up in the overlay list, and rebooting doesn't help either. Idk what's wrong, it'd be great if someone could help.
If you want to use substratum with OOS, use Ozone theme. And if you want custom accent themes, you have to use either the light or dark theme. It won't work with the default one.
I'm on the open beta and am using substratum with pitch black theme and swift black theme. Both working well for me. They are paid themes though and have been updated for Oreo

If it helps, I clean flashed it, along with Magisk, no-verity ZIP, iYTBP, Product Sans font from Android 8.1 DP, and iOS 11.2 emojis.
I really think something's wrong with the OS, because even the dark theme in settings>display>theme isn't applying, even though it says 'success!'.
I'll probably clean flash tomorrow, but it'd be great if someone could help me now before I go through all that pain again.
I was on Open Beta 1 and default dark theme and substratum themes was working great.
I was using xXx No Limits OB01 (8.0), Substratum was working OK (not 100%) but it had to be installed via the PlayStore not through the Aroma installer from the ROM.
However the OOS dark theme was not working at all, as soon as I selected it settings would FC and then all the apps that used the dark theme constantly FCed without evening opening. Clean installed the ROM 3 times and happened every time. Not sure what exactly is the root of the problem as other people have had no problem applying the dark theme.
Open beta 1 substratum and dark theme are working perfectly even with android system themed no power menu bug... i tested and are workings: oozone (from playstore), belo, mono/art, swift dark and swift light, ethereal...
try to factory reset if you have problem with the default dark theme there's surely something wrong
Thanks everyone! I'll clean flash in a while and report.
Clean flash worked! Thanks a ton.

Did you reboot after you applied the theme? Pie took away OMS support so Substratum doesn't theme on-the-fly anymore so you probably have to reboot for the changes to take effect.

when i tried to apply substratum with djdarknjghts Sprite, i rebooted to apply the theme. when i rebooted, i was forced to wipe the phone to get it to boot. i had another member say you have to set the boot slot etc, but if you dont mind, can you tell me precisely what your steps to apply were?
i miss my theme, but if i can avoid another full wipe for nothing, that is ideal. lol.
im on OOS 9.0.5 rooted with magisk 17.3 . Thank you!

Presume I haven't been flashing and theming android devices since a855 (d1) what are your steps?
my steps were:
1) bl unlock
2) root with Magisk 17.3 (beta)
3) install substratum
4) install Sprite
5) Build and apply theme.
6) Reboot
Then i ended up having to wipe the device and could not boot.
What am i missing? lol
edit 2: yeah, gotta use a theme compatible with OOS. lol.

The theme you are installing is not oos compatible, try themes like Swift Dark/Black/White, PitchBlack, Flux themes etc which are OOS compatible :good: Other themes may require full OMS support which is not present on OOS so you would end up bootloop.

yeah, that was my experience. i checked in the devs telegram and its not compatible with OOS as he doesn't own a OP device. if i were wealthy, id straight buy him one bc his themes are that amazing and thorough. i havent seen another one that themes status bar icons which is awesome.
i bought PitchBlack a while back, so i guess i will just live without statusbar icon colors for now.....
i actually like stock OOS more than i ever thought i would have. i wish they would make a status bar background and icon color picker just like the theme color picker, but with a simple RGB color picker like old school android apps had, but its probably just a pipe dream. lol. that and long press button functions are all im missing to complete my android experience on One Plus.
Good news, the wait just got shorter.

lol. the theme dev whose work i wanted to work on OOS is getting a OP6T...so the wait to Sprite on OOS is shorter.
maybe i should want to win the lottery or land a decent paying job in tech if my wishes are coming true. lol.
