(Solved) Possible to change accent colors of the system UI? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hey guys, as you know google is using a blue accent color for their system UI, sadly (IMO) essential is using a green accent and i would love to change this.
maybe someone knows how to change this accent color somewhere, maybe in the build prop or in the system.ui itself?
i attached a screenshot of which parts of the system ui i mean, its the notifcation area.
hoping for some usefull answers
EDIT: Simple as that, just use an substratum theme (pixel theme in my case)

Substratum works on 9?

Sai theme pie from telegram is the best subs theme

does it require root? In oreo Sai's theme worked without root.

Magisk and install the pixel experience module

Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treydev.pns

Also note....don't build the initial Sai with Navigation selected. Do the Settings, quick settings, UI etc..but don't select Navigation..anytime I've done that, then rebooted the first time, bootloop.
Then, once you enable it in the manager, go back and select Navigation and build/enable it in the Themes section. Then, reboot and it will magically change you quick tile settings to the black/blue color. Found this method out experimenting, on the latest beta/build as well on Pie. You shouldn't have to go into Manager and select Navigation, it will be gold in color, different from the others, but it will be enabled and working on the quick tiles.
Good luck.

We have a mod coming out to change the accents..stay tuned

I am thinking to add Pixel Live Wallpapers application in the zip file. Just because this is Pixel Experience Mod.

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 was using LineageOS and tried porting Pixel Nav bars. I have successfully ported. I will start porting again for AOSP ROM.

I'm new to OP. Any guidance on Substratum?

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

So I just need to be on stock rooted OP 5 with Subtranium installed to use Swift Dark on system ui?

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

Great thanks. My OP 5 is being delivered today so I'm doing some research on I'm going to load on it. I saw that FreedomOS has Substratum Legacy support but I'd like to try the stock rom first.

I'm running it right now, but i'm using it just for centered clock and to change the "4G" to "LTE" in the status bar.
No issues on my side so far.
Currently running OOS 4.5.1 with magisk v13 beta (96f8efc)

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.

I can't even see any difference when you theme the system lol so I don't even think it's necessary

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

Open Beta 1 - default dark theme doesn't work, Substratum themes don't work too

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

I use a purchased version of Swift Black too! I install all the overlays, it says it was successful and there weren't any errors, but then they don't show up in Manager and a reboot doesn't help either.

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.

Same for me, can't get it back to "dark" anymore, simply ignored on OP5

[WIP] [Mod] Black Themed Notification and tweaks

As substratum cannot theme the framework in nougat, I have done it for all of you buddies. This will work best with Black themes.
This thread is for those who are using Black themes(specially Substratum Themes) in their Stock ROMs.
I have modified the framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk to make the notification pannel completely black.
Hope you will like it.
Please don't share direct download links or use the apps in any other ways without my permission.
Installation Procedure:
Backup your /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk.
Reboot to recovery(TWRP recommended) by pressing Volume Up+Power+Home button.
Install the downloaded zip one at a time (order doesn't matter).
Reboot to system.
Wait until it reboots.

SystemUI keeps crashing. On stock rom with March security patch and magisk root
This is kind of useless... If you apply High Contrast or High contrast 2 from Samsung themes the whole UI is black except notifications. For black notifications as well (and an ever sleeker notification bar look) you can install bodhisattva through apk and apply through samsung themes, then use the app called theme killer to permanently apply it and reboot. Literally 0 modding needed!

Substratum and Razer Phone 2

Hello all!
I wanted to know if anyone had any luck with Substratum via root?
I was reading about the theming engine and there was some article that states that Razer only allows signed themes to be applied.
In short Substratum will not work.
Has anyone had any luck with it?
Thanks!
Are you referring to this?
https://www.xda-developers.com/custom-themes-android-oreo-substratum/
Says it doesn't need root.
Substratum won't work on the RP2 much like it doesn't on the RP1 due to the theme engine already installed.

Okay then I raise you this question.. How can one uninstall / disable / delete the stock theme engine?
I'd be much happier with stock android colors, and dark theme. None of this green accent bull.

Unnecessary, so long as you are rooted. Use Smali Patcher with the "signature spoofing" flag enabled and you will be able to use Substratum without having to do anything to the Theme Store aside from disabling any themes you have applied through it. Note that you will not be able to cleanly theme the Settings app on the stock ROM.
