About coloring theme - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods

I use non root note 8, and I like to know if there is any way to color the icons of the status/notification bar (the clock, the battery, mobile data and so on) and the apps color something like this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/wings-root-substratum-theme-launch-10-t3693952.
Thank you.

You know you don't have to be rooted to use substratum, right?

Yes I Know. but I can't find how to change the color of the icons of the status/notification bar.

I believe that since lollipop, the Android OS only allows white icons in the UI . From what I understand you should be able to tweak the alpha value to allow degrees of grayscale, but no color. Maybe hide the status bar and use third party app?

No, you don't have to be rooted to use substratum! You just need an add on to use it with Samsung.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.sungstratum&hl=en

are there more themes out now that work on a non rooted note 8 with substratum?
i was using it when the phone first came out, and there were only a couple of themes that worked properly on the note 8..

There is swift Dark,Samsung wings,and I use a sub theme called onyx from play store. You can basically pick and choose what colors you want and if you want dark apps or transparent apps. I'm using venom tron theme mixed with some from the onyx theme and Samsung wings theme. You can mix and match

Thank you, but I must ask how do you use Samsung wings theme? There is no link for download the app?
I try to change the green color in the play store app to red. how can I do it?
I use swift dark. I'll check the others you offer.
By the way I found great app to change the color of the icons of the status/notification bar (the clock, the battery, mobile data) and change some Icons (which not work with the batery icon-too small ) -without root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.james.status.
I tried to check onyx but there's afew apps with the same name. Can you share the links of venom and onyx links?
Thank you.

Looks fine IMO, I recently found out tickboxes are completely white when there are dark backgrounds because of the white theme accent combined with the white tick. So that's why Sony doesn't make white theme accents.
Nav Bar icon

but the flip settings still retain the old look - any solution? also I noticed some of the accents are Blue.. any plans to make it all white?

For flip settings, you need that SystemUI.apk, and the blue accents have to remain in apps like settings because I don't think white will make it look nice so no plans for it. Sorry =)
Can you make apk only for nav. bar? Thanx.

read this, then to modify theme accent, you need to open /asset/com.sonyericsson.uxp.zip, decompile and go into the decompiled folder open /res/values/colors. Good luck, compare the colors with the stock purple accent by doing the same steps and check the color value, you can use photoshop to double check them. (It's not gonna be easy because if you use my theme as a base, you need to change some color of the switches and ticks.)

If you haven't already, I've got a patched services.jar in my thread, feel free to use. Also regarding conflicts, if you go into the smali folder of the base apk (with the wallpaper and icon) and get through to smali files, you can change the package name there by editing out craftsmanship, and putting what you want, changing the folder names to match.And in android manifest, you can change version number, so when you go to installed apps, it'll show what version is installed.
Example, in my theme folders go se/metallijim/brushed/blue, and that is what is in the smali files. Edit with notepad+
That'll definitely insure no conflicts.

Awesome thanks for the tip, yeah I recompiled the services.jar already, and downloaded yours to compare, for some reason, mine is smaller lol but still works fine since that my original clean services.jar is already smaller than your modded one. And thanks for the versioning!, I didn't know how to do it because when I tried changing it, they said that craftmanship has defined it =/

In Android Manifest.xml in the main theme, before recompiling, just change android:versionName=1.0 to whatever version you want, then in settings, when installed it'll show the Version number! :victory:

Hello.
I have a rooted Nexus 6p and I installed today Subtratum Theme Engine with the theme of Deity.
Because I do not like (dark text, sometimes illegible on dark background), I uninstalled it. It unfortunately remains the dark background in all applications (settings, wattsapp, contacts, messages, etc ...).
How can I restore the original settings?
Thank you.

You will get way way way way more help in the Substratum thread where the devs and many themers hang out.
This thread was asking for Substratum compatible ROMs

There is a fix to this. Go to accessibility settings and turn on high contrast text. Everything would be read able. I reverted to stock ui because the text looked awful, readable but awful.
Substratum works fine with Pure Nexus.

[CM13 THEME] Black Painting | Dark theme | Arcus support | XDA Labs

Removed
Additional information about Arcus
Statusbar tab: new icons for the statusbar will be applied. There is one variant for each color.
Navbar tab: after installing this variant go to the Themes menu of your ROM then select this Arcus Variant and ONLY APPLY the navigation bar! Otherwise the default (blue) theme will be applied.
Removed
If you don't like the statusbar icons I'm preparing various zips to be used from Arcus app.
Icons will be larger.
Awesome theme! It looks fantastic on my phone even though it's not AMOLED. Especially loved the status bar icons and quick settings tiles. It's something different that I haven't seen. Please add more apps as soon as possible. I also have a few issues.... The font as shown in the screenshot didn't get applied instead another font got applied. I think it's roboto condensed. And the theme didn't show up in arcus. Could you tell me the name of the font so that I can download and flash it and have the entire experience of the theme?
Thanks again for the splendid theme. Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks a lot for your comment!
Yes I don't want to only invert the stock UI. Many icons have been customized for a really new user experience.
4 new apps are almost finished so they will be available in the next update.
Custom versions from Arcus will be also available for all colors. It will allow users to change the statusbar and navbar icons. Some people don't like custom icons or small icons.
About the font it's not an issue. Actually I was testing several fonts when I saved the screenshots. This font is LT Oksana.
As for Arcus you have to install the Google Play version.

Actually I don't plan to update the free version. This apk is available for new users to test Black Painting on their device.You could install the Play Store (+microG) to download the updates (that's what @Primokorn does).
Concerning Poweramp, go to Settings (Poweramp app) > Look and feel > Status Bar/Notification > Uncheck "Inverse Notification Colors"

Thanks for the info, though it's a bit sad that it will be available only on GP. I don't want to install extra apps and services, unless really necessary. Also, GP is not flexible in payment methods.
Thanks for the idea how to fix it, I didn't find "Inverse notification colors" line, but there was another one to select notification colours.

Overlay Thread - Verizon s8+

For those who have not headed over to the overlay post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341
There are some cool things going on with themes and overlays. Some non-rooted methods are allowing us to change system icons, colors etc. Not eveything has been found yet so please be patient..
Here are a few of my additions. I do not take credit for making any of these other than changing the colors. A lot of these have been made by people in the original post and if you like their work please post up a thanks or donate to them.
When installing, pay attention to the package name if you wish to uninstall. Uninstall via app manager.

Can I ask what Samsung theme your using?
red neon in samsung store
Here is a lil easier to read notifications, make them red..
Also make sure to re apply these apks after any theme application or updates.
ars0n i LOVE the red work you've done and REALLY wanna put it on my phone...but the files you've posted...ive installed and tried to use before and once rebooted..the only thing that would show up is the tab to access the edge screen and i wasnt even able to use that..my point in this ramble...is there something im doing wrong? do you need to be on the stock (Out of the box theme) in order to use these?
try the red neon theme, you should be able to download 1 0 min trial.
Can I ask if you have any other kind of theme or oer lays installed? Navbar or status bar mods/apks?
I am on stock verizon rom that came with phone. And on the newest update and the overlays still work (had to reinstall).
I'm on stock Verizon ROM. And no other mods installed. Was just hoping to get this to work without having to factory data reset again if it doesn't...
Do one at a time for me if you can and let me know.. I am using the verizon framework for the s8+ but I am also on the newest update, so not sure if that matters or not.
I only use the newest syustemui RED ON RED with the blackred in call UI, just 2 apks plus the neon red theme. Install the theme first, then do the apks and reboot and let me know!
Ok. I am on the latest update as well. I think where I went wrong easier installed all the files you posted and also didn't have the theme installed
Is the theme which made your status bar icons red or was it one if the overlays?
the system icons and red nav apk should do it. The battery is also red now.

Alright thanks, I just needed to know because I'm gonna try and edit it to make it blue instead so it matches my theme.

EMUI 8.1 custom Themes issues (partially incompatible with EMUI 8.0 themes)

Hi,
This thread is to report custom themes issues - as I noticed currently available themes (working fine on EMUI 8.0 phones) are partially incompatible with EMUI 8.1 on our P20 phones.
Known issues (EMUI 8.1 vs EMUI 8.0):
- sms app is no longer supported (there is no longer Huawei sms app - Google Messages instead, completly inconsistent with EMUI design...)
- some (not all) custom screen locks are not working
- custom settings menu icons are not visible (only default ones)
- general issue with non-system app icons - most of them are not changing with theme (even if there is custom icon inside theme)
- custom status bar and notifications are not working
I received my P20 today, so i'll update above list during my tests. If you notice any not listed issue - let me know, i will add it.
I'll try to find a solutions for that issues - but of course any help is appreciated
Life saver!
I've been playing around with the themes and noticed my notifications had disappeared from the lock screen. I had assumed it was another setting I'd changed by mistake, but couldn't find what I'd done.
Found this thread last night, stuck the theme back to Romance, and the notifications are back!

But you can use custom theme with standard lock screen - and notifcations should appear
Any custom lockscreens that work with notifications? I tried a few but none display spotify lockscreen controls. I ask because I'd prefer a lockscreen with the clock at the top instead of the bottom like the magazine theme.

Try lockscreen from my SimpleP theme - there is a clock in the top and spotify controls work
I have the same problem. I tried some custom themes and now, no matter what theme I choose, notifications won't expand, I can only read notification first line. And yes, with some custom themes, notifications won't show at all.
@mr.mrcn I can't find SimpleP theme

It is in my app (link is in the signature). But notifications in this lock screen don't expand either.
They are not expanding for me as well, seems like a stupid bug (much like no synchronized volumes with Bluetooth audio devices)
EMUI 8.1 ignores all xml images in custom themes, they are displayed by default.

- general issue with non-system app icons - most of them are not changing with theme (even if there is custom icon inside theme)

Not quite true, in my theme are all icons changed, and some other stuff too. I don't have much time to look around, but some paths of icons are different from previous versions. Will try with png's and new folder paths. ???

Because all icons are round and there is no special mask in this icon pack Look at my screenshot - there is a mask, but for unknown reason is not applied to some icons (like gmail, slack, whatsapp..), but for other it is (facebook, telegram..).

Some files in the theme are now overlooked by the system (EMUI 8.1).

Do you think this will be fixed soon?
Probably Huawei actually wants it like this, I think they would've fixed it already

I think not..they would not include a theme engine if they do not want customers to change the look of it..but that is my opinion

You can still change UI colors and drawer icons... Maybe they just want you to do it/they want developers to optimize their themes for the p20/p20 pro before allowing them to change navbar icons/notification tab icons and stuff, at least imo
No Status Bar for me at all, tried Factory reset, the same.
