Is it just me or is the themeing engine rejecting themes? I recently ota updated to 4.42 and when I apply a theme most of the elements work correctly. After rebooting the theme starts getting rejected and themed elements may show for half a second and go back to holo default when I enter an app. I don't know what I did but things feel broken right now.

OK thanks. Man I'll have to give up tinted status bar and tablet metrics.
I saw a fix for CM roms, can't it be merged in the next update ?
I don't want to lose Greenify experimentals options...

It will almost work..... Just don't theme android system
Use the big "search" bar...
I'm using it and as HaiderHady said. Just theme the apps and never theme the system UI or framework or you will get bootloop. Also theming huawei apps like contacts and settings will not work.
Im not sure if this is a substratum or huawei bug but sometimes if you update the themed app it will crash when you open it. Just uninstall the overly and install it again
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

It is possible to change from dark to light in 8.1 stock?
Yes it is managed automatically according to your wallpaper
There's some Xposed module to force it to dark
You can use substratum to have a even more stylish look than default white/dark

Substratum is theme engine which you can use to apply themes with or without root, you can find it on Google Play. If you dont have root, you need additional app called Andromeda which allows you to install themes without root using ADB.

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.

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
