Theme Store vs Substratum for customization - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Which one do you guys recomend for theming. I have been running substratum with Nova.

I like the theme store a lot. I'm running a nice dark theme with some purple in it. I've heard of substratum, but never actually used it.
I haven't used Nova on this, so far. I never thought I'd utter these words, but I'm liking touchwiz on the Note 8!

I have always used Nova since my galaxy S2
however... now TouchWiz has the option to swipe down to pull the notification bar down and Substratum is here...
im using a mixture of Substratum / Overlays from XDA / Theme from Samsung theme store with TouchWiz
Also because of these new updates this is my first ever device i have not rooted (YET)
That's pretty big for me!

I prefer substratum and another launcher. Some of the theme store themes look pretty good but the themers are only allowed theme the samsung apps and you end up with the cohesiveness of your theme looking bad.

this was my issue when i used Nova, annoying seeing everything themed and then opening the edge panel and all the icons being totally different.
however the only thing that kept me off touchwiz was the notification bar not being able to be pulled down from anywhere, but now that's 'fixed' ive been using the theme store and overlays... only substratum theme im using is to get the clock centered. still lots more choice with Nova/other launchers but there are some hidden gems in the theme store, or you could even grab some xda themes if you wanna go through the hassle of getting them to stick.
also i dont think substratum has enough choice for Samsung users yet, maybe i am too used to substratum for stock android rom. so much customisation where as for us at the moment barely any in comparison, even less if you are not willing to pay for every theme.

I always forget about the edge panel lol. I'm using Nova now but think I'm going to switch to the theme store for a bit. There aren't a lot of choices at all for substratum yet. I was trying to find a way to change the nav bar but none of the over lays work that I have found.

There's an aosp one in the overlays thread. You could also edit the apk and replace the aosp icons with your own to make your own nav bar using Apkeditor from the playstore
I just like the stock Samsung one better

LOL, glad to hear I'm not the only one! I've been using Nova since my Galaxy S3 days and was always the first thing I installed but I haven't used it yet on my Note 8, kinda liking TW right now.

I have 2 x Themes from theme store by Lucas Kendi.
"Blac UI" is a free theme.
His theme has i think the Pixel navbars.
If you install theme it also changes the Samsung
navbar.Also ringtones, notification sound. Etc
So ringtones etc, you have to change back to you preferred ones
His other theme (i have) Oxy black also changes the navbar.
Overall i use a mixture of Nova Prime /Samsung Themes and Klwp themes.
I found that as stated by others Substratum
themes are very limited and not worth installing on Note 8.
As i already have most paid Substratum Samsung Themes
i use them mostly on my spare Note 5.

Looked promising but it creates a theme at the end rather than an installable overlay like substratum. It's a nice tool to make a theme though
(Only problem is I then loose my Samsung theme icons etc) also have to go through the whole getting a 'Free trial' theme to stick
I'm happy with my setup at the moment anyway :good:
The only other issue I had with that app was not enough options to change I could only change a few bits, was hoping to fully black out apps but could only do headers and status bar etc

dxTop Themes

Well, it's time I start working on putting together themes for dxTop so that non-root users can use them. I'm looking for theme authors to volunteer up there themes. I'm only looking to start with themes that will work with the 2 tabs in dxTop (or you can offer up additional assets) and have 100% of the Launcher skinned including the menu icons. Check out the dxTop site for a screen shot of the two tab layout.
If you want to give me permission to convert your theme to work with dxTop, please post here with a link to your theme's thread. Also, include how you want to be credited in the description on the market.
I only plan on doing a few to start. But I will be releasing source for building a themed for dxTop.
Thanks in advance for your help! I will start on this today.
Cheers,
John
you have my permission here is my theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472812 i have it on dx now here is how it looks if you use my theme just post theme from kron2 looking forward to source for building a themes for dxTop. and looking forward to quote Themes: I was thinking that is image resources are found on the sdcard, they could be loaded instead of the default ones. This would be an easy way to skin dxTop.
Feel free to use any and all themes made by me, should you want to.

Thanks guys! I have release dxTop with theme support along with Deep Black and Glossy Minimalism.
I will be looking to add the others as time goes on.
Thanks again!
The deep black theme caused a lot of lag on my phone. When dragging from screen to screen, the icons were leaving a trail behind them. Once I uninstalled it, everything was back to normal
EDIT: Nevermind apparently its the new update to dxtop, not the theme. It started happening again, even after a reboot
how deep does the dxtop support for theming go? Is it only the icons on the desktop etc or does it extend to pattern lock buttons etc?

Question:
I currently have the Rusty Metal theme installed through flashing the update.zip. If I switched to say Deep Black through the supported theme (not through update.zip), and didn't like it. What would I get if I switched back to default? The original stock theme, or Rusty Metal same as it was before?

Going back to original will use the stock resources so if you have a rooted theme installed it will show.

Sorry if this has already been answered but I just can't seem to find it.
Is the non-root theme unable to replace the status bar?

Correct, it can't change the status bar.
It's cool using the dxTop them in conjunction with a regular theme.
IE, I'm using the Glossy minimalist dxTop theme with the "Glossuite" competition theme, and it's cool.
Can't wait for more themes to be ported to dxTop.
Can you pleeeeease put up CARBON GLOW.

[REQ] Transparent Navbar system wide.

Hey modders, I was wondering if you can make a transparent/translucent Navbar that I can use throughout apps, I know about the immersive mode.
I feel Iv looked almost everywhere with no result as to why it can't be done or hasn't I would settle for it changing with my apps but I can't use xposed since I'm on 5.1
Thanks in advance for any help/info.
Nexus Titan 6
Guess that's a nope.
Yes, for me that's a feature that I would live to have,UV been asking about this for awhile now and I never get a answer. I don't understand why this can't be done or if devs just don't wanna tackle it. There's a modual in xposed that let's us fad the navbar but it just come back,I don't like the fade feature. I would gladly donate if someone would make this happen. Let's start a petition lol.....

Yea man, same here there's just not enough people liking the magic of it. Personally I think it adds more screen relestate for viewing. I have talked to some guys over on G+ in bitsyko layers project and apparently he is doing it. But you'll have to use layers.

You can use ultimate dynamic navbar pro to do this. I currently have my navbar transparent. Also, it expands your desktop when you make your navbar transparent so you really do have more screen real estate. Unfortunately, it won't let me post the link for it but you can find it in the play store

You can do that with udn, it hides your real navbar and put a an exact clone to replace it. Then you go to theme and make the background clear

I understand that lol. The navbar I posted is UNB's basic theme but is customizable if you purchase it and can be transparent. It's obviously not a stock hack or anything but I was confirming it's an identical solution that works for 5.1, assuming you're rooted.

I bought it awhile back, didn't do what I wanted an had 4.4 Navbar icons didn't enjoy it.
Using layers the customize my Navbar icons.
Guys, is there something new? I also want to disable the black color behind the buttons
woookay now.
1 : The devs don't owe us, anything. They can build whatever the hell they want. Plus, most roms now are some sort of kang of another. Why else would most roms have pertty much the same features then?
2: This is all on the assumption that apps don't theme the navbar, and that they have coded the app to display at where the navbar is. I've done a fully transparent status and navbar build for my nexus 4 and while it works fine on launcher, it would bug out with artifacts when using other apps or it just returned to grey.
BUT, devs are amazing so they could probably make this work. However, there are much more important things to be done before modifying on the looks of android. So please, just be patient or try and do it yourself.
Obviously you guys don't feel the way I do.... I hate the navbar. I don't use it. Such a waste of screen. Have you tried something good like pie or an alternative to the navbar? I'd suggest that. But to each his/her own.

I like pie, but I also enjoy the navbar since its faster click wise for me. I would rather
There be light up soft keys. And the 6in screen that would have made it 100x better.

Also, most of these will work except for the nav bar height. It will take some time as they're spread out all through the thread. These are for the S8+ and I'm using several on my Note 8, as I said all but the nav bar height should work.

Substratum can't do that yet, I have a couple of layers that can - one with blue and the other with red.
Are there any substratum themes that are free for our note 8?
theres a couple in here...https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes
So glad someone brought this up, as the only one I could find was Swift Dark. I chose the tab for Samsung devices and Swift Dark was my only option to purchase. Waste of money as it currently stands since my current theme dark high contrast from the would you believe it Samsung theme store works just as good if not better. Substratum is hyped up in imho or immature for the N8.
My take, rubbish.
Edit: shouldn't have said "rubbish" , but inadequate at this time.

I'm just using the samsung themes at this point; there are a few that are pretty nice, and until there is a BL unlock/full root for this phone, I wont bother with Substratum at this point..had it installed with a couple of the themes that supposedly work on this phone, but it borked gmail, play store and a couple of others, so off it went..
Its too bad, since I have bought around 20 or more subs themes in the past, so hopefully it will be fixed down the road.
This phone just came out, so its a matter of patience for now..

Always stays black if you install the ones you've updated with play store. Just install again in substratum

There are several working with Samsung now, in addition to the ones listed above. You can mix and match to make one of your own too.

When you mention working with Samsung, one still has to avoid selecting certain options during installation of the overlays right ? Meaning I cannot merely select all after choosing S8 in the pull down menu without running the risk of bootloops?
In summary, which options should one not check for installation for those you linked on your post? Or are the Samsung specific ones all bootloop free.? Cheers

I've used all, just select S8, except for the nav bar. I use another for that. Haven't had any bootloops and have been using them from day one. If you do have issues you just need to boot into safe mode and uninstall the overlay and you're back in business. The ones specifically for Samsung should be okay but the others probably not. Here's a new onr, I haven't tried it yet as I have mine setup just the way I like it.

Substratum VS Theme Galaxy?

Which do you prefer and why. I have used both and can't figure out which one I like better so I'm reaching out to the community for their opinion lol. If you say substratum what is a good theme for Substratum?
i like them both, and often do a mix up with the 2 of them!
I like linear and Victory right now..

glorified nova prime launcher. I have no desire to implement another UI look than stock or nova.
I like the theme store better. For one I am not rooted and that makes substratum inconvenient to use. Even when I had a rooted Pixel and Pixel 2 most of the themes would never apply correctly. Maybe that's more to do with the theme developer than substratum but either way that's my experience. With Samsung themes I have had little to no problems with themes applying correctly since I started using it on my old Note 5. My only wish is that Samsung would allow for apps to be themed instead of just the system itself.
Thread cleaned.
:good:

So I was actually talking about the app Theme Galaxy where you can do a lot of customization like substratum.

What's the exact difference between the XDA and the paid version - besides that I'd support development with the latter one?

I wonder if this will play nice with swift installer?
I really want to use this for a better looking phone dialer background
Ya sure try it and don't forget to give review if you like it
Thank you
Hi Developer,
Bought paid one week ago and its really good. Hats off to your work on this substratum theme. I am on OnePlus since OnePlus 5 and at present i have OnePlus 6t.
I was waiting for this for long and you made it. Its really good man.
One suggestion- Please include transparent and semi-transparent backgrounds also if possible. Or it will be more cool when different level of transparent backgrounds options added.
Thank you
