Substratum? - Razer Phone 2 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hey all,
First off, I'm a newbie. Sorry if I offend the order around here, or anything!
So I am a long-time lover of substratum, and was looking forward to theming 9.0 on this Razer phone 2... But I've tried my damnedest since I got it back in early March, and from where I am now, it appears it's hopeless. Anybody gotten Subs working? I'm running mr0, magisk fully updated, trying to apply swift dark. (And yes, the magisk module installed properly for Subs), and I even get no error codes (in fact, the app claims everything's working), but no themes appear under the 'manage' tab. Halp!

Razer Phone 1 & 2 can only use themes signed with the system key thru Razer Theme store. It's coded in framework-res.apk to verify if I remember correctly. Someone might be able to remove the code check and make a install zip for TWRP that can be used with the deodexed ROM here.

Deodexed ROM? For the phone 2? Also is twrp available besides the kernel one? Am I just missing something? ?

Working fix for substratum
found this on another thread and im suprised to not see this anywhere else but anywho, this is the only working way to get substratum on the Razer 2 ive been able to find and its pretty easy to use. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-smali-patcher-0-7-t3680053 get this, run the .exe, patch for signature verification (if you have any problems try a different charger, make sure you have usb debugging on, and run .exe as admin) then when its done running look for the .zip and run it through twrp/magisk.

Ok so update! Using both swift dark and swift black results in the same 2 issues=
-notifications almost go black, but are instead a light light gray on swift dark (making the white text hard to read) and go dark gray on swift black. I've never used swift black prior to tonight, so maybe I've just never seen how dark swift black does it's notifications, and am thus ignorant! For this issue, I double and triple checked I had both Android system & system ui themed, reboot, enable, reboot. To no avail.
I also noticed with both theme packs that the play store doesn't theme at all, but that when viewing an app's page, the title text is white (and thus invisible).
This is just a heads up for those of us working with this now. I'm gonna let the devs know and see if they have any advice or are able to bugfix. Thanks again guys -- play music is buttery black!

Just to clarify...

In order to get Substratum working is the custom ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone-2/development/rom-mr1-stock-deodexed-zipalign-t3916502 required or can a stock MR1 rooted ROM be used using the method described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-smali-patcher-0-7-t3680053

So I've been running subs for a little while through both methods, so either works. Both methods produce the same result, but I've found that the ROM has some minor bugs that can be obstructive at their worst. EG, every now and then my taps register as long holds (for example, on my keyboard I'll look up and see a bunch of jumbles of symbols instead of the words I tried to type)
But regardless, both methods fail to get the system themed. They try, but notifications are unreadable, and the theme color of the quick settings panels doesn't change from the Razer green.
tl'dr, I'd stick with the smali patcher method, as the ROM has some quirks that can make it a hassle to use as a daily driver.

Thanks for the response..
Just to followup regarding the smaili method, do I generate the signature for the Substratum install apk or the theme or both. Once the zip is generated then I install using TWRP? Just not really clear what needs the signature and what order things should be installed.
Thanks,

Generate the module zip for your phone. Copy it over and install with Magisk. As for theming, it's seems that the systemui overlay is the issue. Any theme that I install just seems to combine with the systemui one instead of replacing it, causing notifications and certain other areas like parts of setting menus to be unreadable. If we could disable systemui's theming, I think we could get somewhere.

[Theme] HeTANG for VanillaEclair 5

This theme is for RaduG's ROM: VanillaEclair 5 - "Welcome to Prisneyland, Fish" (20/07/2010)
I do not plan on updating this further, but the images are there in the theme for someone to take on and port to future versions or other ROMs. Sorry to all that have been using it, but I don't have the time these days to keep on top of it.
It's a port from Manup's NexTANG theme, so all credit for this goes to him. You can check out his original version for the Nexus here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685584.
I also found a Droid version. On this site you can downloaded the app/folder icons. I have not included them in my theme as am not a huge fan of them, but may include them in later or the final version - DroTANG - http://forums.swdroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30
Please note: I do not have that much time to do this sort of thing so please do not bombard me with requests and bugs. I will try to update this but am not on any time schedule. If someone else wants to take this and run with it, by all means be my guest. What I have so far is enough for me
So... attached you will see what is themed so far. To achieve this look please follow the below:
Flash the attached theme 'HeTANG-VE5-0.4.zip' (see below the post) from whatever recovery you are using.
You will then need to change following to white text (or other) in Spare Parts, or as in VE5 - 'Settings > System':
Clock
Date
Carrier PLMN
Carrier SPN
Notifications ticker
No notification title
Ongoing notification title
Latest notification title
Items title
Items text
Items time
Then (if you wish) to complete the look apply the App Drawer icon to LauncherPro that you should most certainly be using , and the Wallpaper that can be found in the 'HeTANG-Extras.zip' file - These are just the files. Not a flashable zip.
I hope people will get some enjoyment out of this. Enjoy!
Change Log
0.4
- Themed drop down boxes
- Improved images on the popup dialogues for a better fit
0.3
- Themed more areas: popup boxes, check boxes, radio buttons etc...
- As an extra I have themed a version of the HTC_IME_Mod Keyboard. This is not part of the theme but within the 'HeTANG-Extras.zip' for those that want try it. Just install it using Astro or any other file manager app. Credit for this goes to gIMpSTa at http://www.gimpsta.com/
0.2
- Added themed Power Control widget
0.1
- Initial release
Notes for HeTANG
looks great, I'll try it later
flashed it and now waiting for boot up.
11min and it just hanged on HERO screen.
Pulled battery off and reflashed it and waited boot about 12 mins. nothing happens it just hangs on HERO screen. nandroid restoring now back to basic VE5b10RC. Theme sure looked nice but it wont boot on my hero.. :/
I suspect that the RaduG's latest changes to his ROM has caused this. As I said I used build7 as a base and because he's so fast )) with his updates I didn't really want to keep updating this every minute. So for those who do have trouble you will just have to wait until he gets a final version out and then I can update this accordingly.
Strange it didn't work though as the framework should still be identical as well as the apps that are themed.
Strange indeed. Anyone else tried flash this and with what results? Just want to know is the problem in my device or is it problem with wrong build number.
Anyway nice work trying to port this. There aren't too many themes to hero builds.

I have updated the theme now to RaduG's latest 'RC build10'. This should work for you... if you're running that version, which I assume most people will be.
I looked at the original thread, but i couldn't tell, does this contain the icons aswell?
Deleted. Double post by me.

Ah, no it doesn't. I didn't want to include them as I didn't really like them and didn't think people would want them. They can be downloaded from the original thread though and used via 'BetterCut' for example.
I may include them in the final version, but not sure yet.

So the theme applies okay, it's just the text colours don't change once you have set them and rebooted?
I appreciate you've already said this will get updated as and when, but is there any plans for including some of the other styling? the only things that I have seen at the moment is popup menus aren't styled and the search widget isn't either. Not a big deal, just wondering

I may well give it a go. At first I did port all the images from the framework over but I just ended up with everything FC on me when trying to get into any of the menus and apps, so I think I need to do it bit by bit. Some of those .9 png files can be troublesome if not treated carefully, so just gonna take some time. Unfortunately there is no mdpi version of this theme from what I can see, so each image has to be resized

Thanks The problem is for most of the files you need to look at the default image from VE5 then resize the one from Manup's version accordingly. This really has to be done one by one, as not all images are scaled down by the same percentage it seems. I'm still getting my head round it lol. I'll try and take more of a look into it soon and keep you posted on any developments. Appreciate the help though

[Rom][Port] xXBabiboi228Xx{Manila Carbon Fiber 2.2™} from EVO *UPDATED 1/21*

I'm making this thread to avoid confusion now that there is a working port.
Well just heard back from xxbabiboi228xx and trock79 apparently will be using parts of his rom in the future, but until then.
Here is my port, everything seems to work and I do not intend on maintaining this. Hope this works out for anyone who wants it.
This is a straight port of xxbabiboi228xx's rom! I did not have anything to do with the development of this rom and take no credit for doing so, only for making it work on the inc.

Changlog:
build 2:
Cleaned up the sprint stuff and added the gingerbread keyboard. Htc keyboard still there by default. Also added the htc lock screen back with an optional download for the vanilla lockscreen in the first post. You can try a flash over and it should work, but I recommend a full wipe, quite a bit was changed. Let me know if flash over works out if you try. Trimmed 10mb's off.
build 3:
Updated to new host rom (xxbabiboi228xx' 2.4) Changed battery indicator to vertical green with percentage (gingerbread style). Theme changed a little bit here and there.
Integrated rosie right key setting (internet icon still present after change) and notification toggle widget changer (PowerControl settings)
No more bootloop on first boot (you don't have to wait to see the lockscreen twice anymore)
New clean and simple bootanimation, very nice in my opinion
bugs known:
4g settings and sprint apps are still present
Other than that, nothing else that I know of
I have tested:
browser
phone
mms and sms
wifi
bluetooth
gps
market
camera with flash
camcorder (720)
mail and facebook sync
Just to be clear I do not intend to maintain this rom. If anyone else wants to take over from here, great! Its a really nice looking rom for sure. I only did this because it was requested and I liked the look of it. The rom runs great, check it out!

@synisterwolf: Doesn't say Sprint for me, that is, if you meant the Operator Name/Logo. As br125 mentioned though, the Sprint apps should be present in the ROM. I hope that answers your question?
@Lsdozer: The easy answer to your question is, edit the file called, widget.txt, to your liking.
The file resides in system\customize I believe.
Unfortunately, the tool br125 posted, is only for the Cyanogen ROMs I think. And for the life me, I have been unable to effectively change that text file, using Root Explorer, ES Explorer, and SUManager. People swear that this is the easiest task to take care of, but for me, I have tried it all, when trying to edit from within the phone, and nothing has worked. If you consider editing the file on your computer and push it to your phone, one thing to consider is that I read somewhere that the file has to have a UNIX signature on it, for it to work. This is the reason why I was adamant to try to edit the file, while it was on my phone, well... that and because I have no idea how to push files using ADB or something to my phone... Hope this helps, please let me know if it works for you. If it does, please post what you did, thanks!
On separate notes guys, does anyone know how to restore haptic feedback to the lockscreen, when unlocking? The original ROM came with the Sense the lockscreen, as default, but I believe br125's port defaults to the Vanilla lockscreen.
Other things we can think about is:
1. Figuring out which kernels are working out well on the ROM, since it has now been ported to the Incredible.
2. Maybe getting that Gingerbread keyboard on here ?
Thanks once again to br125, Babiboi, and, trock79 as well!
I will take a look at gettin haptic working for you, i took out the htclockscreen when I ported it and forgot to add it back in. xxbabiboi228xx said that he will be releasing 2.4 tonight most likely and I'll have some free time tomorrow that I could possibly add in his changes/fixes.
As for kernels, any inc. sense kernel will (should) work. ie. incredikernel, heyitslou's kernel etc.
I've flashed Lou's kernel and it works great, I'm currently at 77% and been using it off the charger for about 7 hours or so
edit: the notification toggles shouldn't be hard to get the 4g outta there and add more useful things and I'll put the gingerbread keyboard in there if it works when I take a look at it. Basically I wanna clean up all the sprint leftovers and make it not seem like a port

Sounds great Sir! You are the man !
BTW, I tried getting some of the GB keyboard flashed over into the ROM, from the forum. Maybe it's my luck, but I have never actually gotten a single keyboard flashed successfully through to recovery. Whether it was the EVO or the DInc, same results...
This was no exception of course ...

Ran fix permissions and rebooted and fixed photos and videos but still music app does not pick up music on SD.
Edit: now picking up music! Guess needed to give it more time. Maybe that will get Navigation working. Maps work fine but Nav still not.
This ROM can works with Cricket?

[MOD] AdeoMOD - Navalynt Style (for Adeo v.02)

Based on DesignGears Adeo (REDUX) v0.2
I know I have a lot of people to specifically credit/thank but it's 12:30am here and I'm ready to fall asleep at the keyboard! I will have to revisit this in the morning and check for any feedback you all have.
BTW, Battle:LA, AWESOME MOVIE!
So I did a bit of theming after I got the services.jar file edited to support transparency in the notification drop-down. I also made the following additions to the ROM:
AppWidgetPicker
Playstation App
Fenny's WebTop Mod
Adobe Flash 10.2
Titanium Backup
Larger APNs list (apns-conf.xml) for unlocked phones
This is packed up with the Adeo v0.2 update since DesignGears did such a great job of scripting that update. You *should* be ok to re-apply this over v0.2 but I have not tested that myself.

Also included in the download file are the icon/dock images I used with LauncherPro which you will see in the screenshots.
UPDATE: If you have issues with MotoBlur widgets after this update you will need to perform a factory data reset. Actually, if you use the Blur features, just plan on performing that reset no matter what.

I'm testing this right now. Thanks, it looks awesome. Also, you might wanna make sure that you tell people that they need Adeo 0.1 BEFORE applying this update.
(A Mod might move it though... >.<)
hey man i just tested it. i do have the never software flashed on it (the sbf file frmo teh forums), and it seems to work fine, however i saw a glitch or so to say, namely when i did the webtop over hdmi only, after disconnecting the hdmi, and pressing the off/on button to put the screen to sleep, i tried to get it from sleep again and the screen just stayed black no matter what i did, i had to pull out the battery and now it works again.
so it might be a glitch with the newer version and teh webtop hack.
works well and very pretty but,
my social networking is messed up. my contact widgets are not linked anymore.
it was cool to test out!, how do i uninstall?

Nice. I'm going to look into this. It doesn't have Motoblur? Also. Hello! Small world! I'm from Anchorage, AK too! lol.

Well, there were a lot of people having problems with their MotoBlur after the 0.2 update and I believe this "ROM" is based on that update so maybe a factory reset would have fixed it?

Yup, had to upload via dog sled to! It does have MotoBlur, no way of completely removing that right now. I just choose to use LauncherPro Plus instead of the stock MotoBlur launcher because I never use any of the Blur crap. If we ever get a custom recovery I will definitely work on a Blur-less ROM!
crnkoj, thanks for the feedback on the webtop mod! I have not even tried it yet but I'll probably play with that later this afternoon. If it continues being a pain I'll remove it from the updater.
songoghon, some people have reported that issue with blur specific widgets after the Adeo v0.2 updated (as mentioned above). The only solution which seems to work universally is a factory reset.
The primary reason for this mod/theme/pseudo-rom is for my own personal use which is why you guys might find glitches I don't see. Everyone uses their phones a little differently so I really appreciate the feedback!
I still have some ideas for the graphics since I really dislike the lock screen sliders and I can see a few small glitches. Updates will be posted as I work on it (and as I have the time).

yep, worked for me
is the link for the download the new one with the custome theme andother packages you listed?
I don't like that the messages app icon and email app icon are really small.. The trans. of the notification bar is slightly to transparent and cant read text very well maybe adding a white boarder to the text or changing trans. to something slightly darker. Really like the rest of it... Great job on this.. Keep up the good work...

+1 on that quoted section above. If those two Icons were normal sized - i would have no complaints period. Love the theme job here. Please keep this going and update it as often as you can. This is very nice looking. I love the Signal bar design
[edit] There are actually a few icons that got shrunk down to very tiny sizes.... Hope this is an easy fix and an easy update to those who have this installed
*bump* I know OP is limited on time available - just wondering if anyone else has found any issues with this mod. Anxiously awaiting next release!

GSM Users:
You need to edit the build.prop located in the system folder. Recommend using winrar
/system/build.prop
Once there, you will open the file and edit it using a word processing program of you choice. Notepad is fine.
Use search/find button till you locate something that says this Default network type. # 4 => CDMA
From there change the 4 to a 3.
Then next to it you will see this ro.telephony.default_network=4, change it to 3.
Also change "ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1" to "ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0"
This should work, if it doesn't please tell me so I can try and help!
Thanks to:
Hashcode, it was created off his ICS Build here.
iNsAnEmOd, ported his Bionic MIUI rom to Droid 3 before changing to Droid 2 port.

Haha, seems he has themes working if you flash a zip file which is interesting. I believe he could put those files in the rom file and get it working with one flash, but I will see if I can get it to work in one flash. Having Themes working would be great.
Sparky's port is pretty nice actually; I tested a couple of builds, but keep coming back to AOSP, because I'm familiar with it. Sparky is also experimenting with different bases (AOKP and CM9) for the ROM, to maximize battery life. He could definitely lend some assistance. Nice to see yet another option become available for the D3! Keep up the great work!

I'll make a backup of Gummy, and give this a test run tomorrow so I can give you some more accurate feedback. I'm pretty naive when it comes to MIUI, so maybe you could drop some knowledge on me...is there a way to alter/trick the Market, to show it as Verizon? I use apps like Bank of America throughout the day, and I know the MIUI market doesn't display certain apps. If there's a way to get that done, then I'm all in on MIUI!

Changing the build.prop should fix this for some apps, I would look on there site.
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/apps-not-appearing-on-market.12650/
I will do some more research to find a fix for you later today and try a few things that I think will work.
I may be able to use Market Enabler to switch to VZW. I'll give it a shot tomorrow, and report back on how it works, just in case anyone else is in the same position I am. It wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't work in the financial field, but I end up needing access to US and foreign market info throughout the day, so I need a solid solution in order to use MIUI, and take advantage of the excellent features the ROM offers.

It seems that changing the build.prop will make the android market think it is a different phone, but I would rather not change that, I would give Market Enabler a try first.
I would look into sparky's port over at droid hive. You two should team up as opposed to have competing MIUI ports (IMO). Based on the bug list alone and my running of his work, he has a few things functioning that you do not.
The rotation issue I brought to his attention is that when auto rotation is OFF, it should only display in landscape if the phys keyboard is opened, but it does not. It stays locked in portrait.

What is your fix? I already sent him a message on xda, but he didn't reply yet. I didn't know someone else made an MIUI rom for Droid 3 otherwise I would not have made this one, but since I did, I will continue to work on it. Maybe me and him can team up.

Not sure how I stumbled onto this page, but I am currently using IsaneMod's MIUI port for the Bionic right now, and I had this same problem. A few apps would not appear on the Market, acting as if they were not compatible for the Bionic. I got so frustrated, I flashed another ROM to get all my apps back. Well after missing MIUI on my phone, I flashed it again, thinking I could live without those few apps for a while. Well, I ended up accidentally fixing the market issue. For some reason, I thought you had to flash a Google Apps .zip after flashing the MIUI Rom, so I did. But I was actually incorrect as the Google Apps are a part of the ROM, but when flashed G-apps, I flashed what was supposed to be for an ICS ROM instead, but when I booted up my phone, my market had the apps I was once missing. However, I also lost a few icons for certain apps on my phone. Like the MIUI browser app was gone, and I had the ICS browser app instead; and a few other apps did this as well. They all still worked, but flashing the G-apps from that ICS ROM accidentally fixed my market issues. Yes, it was an unnatural way to fix the problem, but if you can find such a file to flash for MIUI on your phone, it may just fix the problem like mine did - as long as you can live without a few MIUI themed app icons. That is, until this problem is solved a more natural way. Anyways, just thought you might want to try this if you want MIUI on your phone but also need your important apps. I hope I was helpful. Good luck!
fyi, for the themes zip that you have to flash for Sparky's ROM, I did that and applying themes works for the most part...the text is sometimes messed up if the theme has a black text and when applying a theme to the Message app, it only changes the theme when you go into a conversation with somebody, not the inbox AND the conversation like it should
and somtimes the placement of things is a little off, like for the lockscreen i use the slider should be in the middle, but it is off to the left a little bit, probably a screen res issue or something from the port

Thanks, I already tried it and noticed the same thing, you should not have to flash a .zip for it to work though so I was looking for other solutions. I have just got to be missing something.

[HOW TO] - Enable CRT animation in Jelly Bean on the N7

Noticed none of the current builds have the CRT animation enabled, thought I'd share how to turn it on. Please note that it is at times a bit buggy. For me it works about 8 out of 10 times.
What it is:
Note: 1 - This will work on any device and on any version of Android back to GB. (Obviously the Nexus specific tools wont work on anything other than the Nexus)
Note 2 - You will have to redo this every time you update your rom.
Here's the quick rundown -
First, you'll have to pull the framework-res.apk from your tablet.
This can be done via adb, but the easiest way would be to either use WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit or mskips Google Nexus 7 TOOLKIT.
When asked what file to pull, type in "/system/framework/framework-res.apk" (without quotes)
Once you have that pulled, install this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432152
Follow the directions on how to use it in the thread.
Once you have decompiled the apk, you'll want to edit the "files-to-edit\framework-res.apk\res\values\bools.xml" file.
The value you want to change in the bools value is the "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>" change "true" to "false". I reccommend downloading Notepad++ to edit.
Make sure you save it. Once saved, recompile the apk using the tool you install, then create an update zip (I renamed mine to crtanimation.zip for ease).
Reboot into recovery, flash the zip, clear cache, reboot.
Tada!

They most likely don't know what CRT animation is, NOT why they might want to make changes to the system.
Nothing in the OP provides a hint as to what that is or what it does. To be honest, I'm not sure I know what it is. A quick search shows that it is enabled in a lot of ROMs but not what it actually is or does.

If you don't know what it is then you obviously haven't flashed many roms and therefore should probably not even attempt this...

I guess the CRT animation is more obscure than I thought.
Okay... I get it... It enables animation effects when turning the device off, rather than just blanking the screen.
I get the same effect turning on and off with
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soulfulz.android.turnoffscreen
You can select from a number of effects, sounds for both when the device is turned on and off via the button. You have to hit the button for it to do it, but for the risk of modifying system files, this is easy and safe to do.

Except your solution is wakelock city on top of having to enable it as a device administrator. Sounds like you also have to hit the shortcut or use the app itself to get the desired effect versus it being naturally accomplished when hitting the power button/screen timeout. And if it doesn't work in ICS, not sure it will work on JB.

If they mess it up, it wont brick, and if it does, all they have to do is dirty flash their rom and it's fixed.
I asked the question "Why" because it seems a lot of trouble just to see your device (N7, in this case) turn off. I've done a great deal of modding to my ICS devices, but haven't really found much reason to mod a JB device. I know there are tons of boot animations which make your device really different when turned on, but having CRT just for turning off your device seems a waste of time.
Of course, this is only my opinion and I'm glad you figured out how to do this, but I still don't understand why!
