Substratum on 7.1.1 - Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone please provide the step by step procedure for installing a theme via substratum.
Currently, I am on AOKP and I tried Swift Black for 7.1.1(patched) and DNA themes and they didn't worked.

Your ROM needs to be updated to support the new rootless subtratum engine.

I think what s/he means is the OMS engine, it's called "masquerade" iirc. I heard it got rootless or something, never use any theme myself, idk.
Maybe wait for rom developers to push latest OMS engine? or build yourself ofc

Substratum should be rootless, as far as I know. Have you installed substratum from the play store and are using a theme that's compatible? Which themes are you installing?

If you have rooted your phone, then you'll be able to use Substratum theme engine.
Wait for the Android O, the Android O support the Substratum with no root need

thanks, mate,
i m now rooting my phone and update you
for substratum on nougat you need root, but on Oreo there are an option for work without root (systemless) but you'll need Andromeda for Substratum for that
also not sure if you apply system UI modification it wont ended up bootloop

How to install Substratum Theme on our device???

How to install Substratum Themes on MI A1???
You'll need Root if you on 7.1.2, but when Oreo update arrive, we can use Substratum Rootless+Andromeda

You have to be rooted.
Install substratum apk.
Install some theme apk and try to apply it in substratum, be careful it's possible to get bootloop.

it says substratum legacy.. i just installed it on google play store.. i cant get any theme to work. and i have stock rom with rooted magisk..
it says RRO2 (legacy)
Should work. Do you use any Magisk modules for substratum? Like for example there is a module called Substratum Systemless and I don't think that will work

Well I had an Xperia phone and substratum was working on that, and unlike A1 that was a custom Android ROM made by Sony. Be sure you install Legacy versions of themes and you don't use any substratum related magisk modules ( look again and make sure that module is disabled)

Substratum themes without root!

Can we have Substratum Theme Engine & its themes on OnePlus 5 without rooting, I really love substratum themes and I don't feel like rooting my new OP5 right now!

Not on the current OOS (Nougat) but likely when we get the Oreo OOS version. I use Substratum with root but in its "Legacy" form so I need to reboot after any theme application and miss other features that an OS integrated Substratum would provide.

So if any device is running 8.0 it can have it without rooting?

There aren't enough devices running 8.0 to say for sure. Rootless Substratum works on Oreo on Nexus and Pixel devices but those are Google phones. Other device manufacturers including One Plus alter Android code for their own devices so how well it will work is not known. OOS alters Android framework enough that only a few Substratum themes are currently compatible even if you are rooted. On a Nexus or Pixel phone running Nougat if you were rooted most Substratum themes are compatible in legacy mode. That's not the case with most non-Google phones. On those you usually need a custom ROM to use Substratum.

Thanks for the info.
What if I use Andromeda with write secure settings permission? Will it work? Will it break Ota? Any problems in it?
