Hi everyone !
Today I will explain how to install the theme SamSonya v4.8.2 , because we don't have any customs roms or full modded themes to flash through recovery, we will go with "Superuser mod" ! ;- ) I tried last night on my Z3 and it worked perfectly !
If you are not sure of what you are doing; don't go further !! You alone will be responsable in case of problems with your phone ! And above all , remember to make a backup before any manipulations !! I'm not the author of this theme, i'm just sharing this beautiful theme to the Z3 community.
Pre-requisite :
- D6603 Model (If someone can try on other models and tell me if it's working)
- be on firmware 23.0.A.2.93 / 105 (Not tested yet on latest .77 firmware but should works too as it's still android 4.4.4)
- Unlocked bootloader
- Rooted
- Xposed installed ( Link : http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer)
- Serajr module installed (v3.3) and "Superuser mod' activated (Link : http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.serajr.xperia.xposed.kk)
Download link :
Update V9.2:

Are you trying on Odex?
Basiacally its developed for ZL/Z and should change about 90-95% of system interface. On another models superusermod will be required. Tested and fully adapted for: ZL, Z, ZR, Z1, SP, M2Dual, Z2.
Xperia Z2 (with latest 4.4.4) and Z3 are not fully adapted jet. (dialwindow and may be something else)
This variant of theme is for 4.3-4.4.x roms with root, deodex, blackthemed.
Up to now there are 5 variants for blackthemed roms and 3 variants for light.
Full list of changing items you can see while theme applying.
Sorry for english.
I'm still odex, i try to flash the de-odexed firmware .93 on my phone but when i reboot my phone just messed up, i try several times but no luck... So for now, i keep it that way.
I know that Xperia Z3 wasn't include in the model phone list compatible for this theme, but i thought i might give a shot, and even if all the system are not themed for now, it's quite a start and most importantly, it doesn't messed up the phone, so that's a good thing ! I mean no FC or whatsoever...
Maybe if someone have enough knowledge to adapt this theme for our Z3, it will be great !
And by the way, i love the blue keyboard on your screenshot ! Wish i have it on my Z3... That's why we need to get this theme on our Z3.. I'm starting to think that rom custom development will never comes out for our precious...
I think the best would be to take black theme for Z2 as a base, as the system it's almost similar with Z3...
I`m the author of this theme.
Ab keybord: check keyboard skin settings. Now you are using 2-d skin, try 3-d (dark) variant. It should be fully colored by Theme.
Sorry but what is "ab keyboard" ? Can you provide me a link ? That would be easier.

Settings - Language & Input - keyboard settings - skins - you will see 3 skins. Dark skin should be fully themed

The theme isnt contain 3d party aplications, all changes only in system.
Icons you can find inside theme at the folder "assets"
Do you think that we can manually replace the stock icons by those from your themes ?
EDIT : Nevermind.. I tried to replace "Conversation.apk and¨Phonebook.apk" and it didn't worked as i expected
Would it be possible for you @runels just to take a look to help us to make this theme fully or as least a little more compatible for our Z3 that it is actually ? I can be your tester, and i can provide you the files you need
Even a donation from me is possible if necessary
Why not? If you have some experience on it.
Adaptation to Z3
1- need root, deodex, superusermod and mostly preferable blackthemed phone interface. In this case you should see maximum changes. I think only incall window isnt adapted to Z3. All other items should work perfectly.
2-send me max. number of screenshots where something isnt changing.
Only after this I will see the variants.
Well i'm not a noob, far from it, but i never developped anything, but i like to test it on my phone !!
This theme is update to v8.4.3
Sent from my D6502 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes i know, i have to update the OP.
I already installed it and sadly, it doesn"t change anything... It's exactly themed like the v8.4.2
Any icons are changed...and the blackground of settings, phonebook and messages is (sorry to say this, as i respect the developper of this theme) quite ugly. Maybe it's because it's not fully compatible for our Z3 yet that it looks like that but i hope someone will change it very soon !
I blakthemed the phone isn't possible yet without Custom Rom like "Criskelo Rom", or maybe by modding the system framework.apk
First of all, you need to read the Theme changelog. Thats why you cant find changes. All current versions and changelog: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=436246&view=findpost&p=28412348 (sorry, but only in russian for the moment)
Current verson 8.5 (for blackthemed)

Thanks for your answer
But what the difference between those 2 links you just provide ? For me, it looks like these 2 themes are the same.
Maybe you can help me @runels, i'm not deodexed right now cause i didn't succeed to get the deodexed .93fw working on my Z3... If i was deodexed, do you think that the theme will worked better ? I mean, myabe more stuff will be themed ?
Or do i have to get absolutely Blackthemed settings framework/Custom rom for the theme to be successfully working ?
Hi guys and girls,
atm I am working on a theme (bases on layer apks - Overlays) for my 5.1 stock ROM (rooted, with the capability of showing these rro layers) - with success more or less..
The issue is regarding my framework-res overlays. SystemUI works fine, wonderful thing. But framework does not.. No changes are present..
After playing around with the priority value and making a new project in android studio (which I used for sysui before, too), my sysui rro is installed correctly, my framework is not changed but installed, too..
What a strange situation.. Targetpackage is "android", not more than android. I do not know why sysui is able to change and framework is not..
Do you know some hints?
I will work on it till I found a solution..
It drives me crazy but there must be a right way, after all..
Thank you, hopeful you can help me.

Hi, i am currently on RR rom 6.1 weekly and have magisk installed.
I was thinking of applying substratum theme and then i saw there was something known as oms and legacy roms...... I want to know 2 things.
1. Is resurrection remix oms or legacy?
2. How can i apply substratum. And some cautions so that i don't end up bootlooping my phone.
Substratum oms support means ROM support fully to substratum. All themes works fully. Legacy mode means the bare minimum, not fully supported, not all themes will work and some will cause issues. Although many themes runs smoothly on legacy ROM also.
1. Yes Official RR Oreo is OMS ROM, fully support.
2. Just install substratum from playstore. Install desire theme from playstore. Then you can see theme will be listed in substratum. Select that theme and also select appropriate versions of all apps that you have installed. Also check install ROMS version. Select desire color-combination of themes/layers if available. Then apply and wait for few minutes to finish it up. I recommend you to restart phone once you one with applying theme so you wont face any lag issue.
For boot-looping issue, I never faced boot-loop. Although, substratum and some theme can cause it. But resolving it is very easy. Just go to substratum forum and download "substratum rescue zip". Flash it via TWRP.
SOLVED: See post 2 below.
Obviously you have to be rooted for substratum.
Secondly, I'm not talking about MIUI system themes, but themes for major Android apps. I already have Stock Black v10 MIUI theme applied.
I've managed to stop MIUI reverting my themes by changing the region and flashing the region zip.
However, when I build and enable layers in substratum for dark themes, like Pitch Black etc, they don't work.
I'd like to have apps like Instagram have a black or dark theme but substratum is not working with many themes I tried.
Do you know any themes that will work with official/beta MIUI Pie ROMs?
Do you know any patches that might help?
Please post any advice you have about theming apps by substratum in MIUI Pie or tips or news etc here as an App Theme resource thread.
Once again, I'm not talking about MIUI System Themes.
Talking about themes in Substratum for major apps.
Thank you.
OK I tried many and finally found one that works. First of all remove other theme apps, specially Andromeda for non-rooted which only works with Oreo and not Pie and actually did not work for me and many others on even Oreo. It clashes with themes within Substratum if you are rooted, if installed. It does not work anyway and reverts and is a waste of money.
This theme, Swift black... for substratum, is for rooted phones, as usual with all themes within substrat.
1) Install Substratum
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum
2) Get Substartum theme app:
Swift Black Substratum Theme +Oreo & Samsung theme
Install, it is cheap
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers
3) Luanch Substratum
Choose Swift
4) At top drop the drop-down menu option:
IMPORTANT! PICK ANDROID VERSION
choose:
Android 9.0 Pixel
That is if you are on Pie like my phone
5) Choose the apps you want themed
I mainly wanted instagram
6) At bottom right click icon (like 2 pieces of paper in a circle) and choose:
Build and Update
applies process for selected apps, wait till it finishes and says success and not errors
7) Reboot PHONE after it finishes building
8) Go back into Substartum and Swift
Choose the same apps you built: SELECT THEM AGAIN
At bottom right click the same icon and choose:
Enable Selected
9) Reboot PHONE a second time, after it finishes enabling process
Now you have your app, as instagram in my case, themed black.
I rebooted many times and it was many hours ago and it still holds.
_______________________________________________
I did not apply Android system overlays, just instagram, BECAUSE my system themes are already jet Black with MIUI theme:
http://en.miui.com/thread-4590347-1-1.html
You can search for it in system: themes and install it there easily. But I had to set my region to Hong Kong for MIUI to allow me to see 3rd party themes and install them.
Also if I installed 3rd party themes with apps:
Themes (comes with and is part of MIUI)
My Themer (app from play store)
They work but after a while MIUI disables them. So change your region in system (search for region in system settings) to Hong Kong or Japan or something, they work better than India region too for some reason. It does not affect your local auto time/date settings.
This section, MIUI 3rd party themes, is unrelated to Substratum/Swift theme section above.
Hope it helps people, not going blind with white apps.
I tried the Swift black option
But there's no Android 9.0 for pixel option available in the drop down menu
I'm on miui 10.1.3 on poco
Want the black Instagram

The latest update from Play store gives 2 options in Swift (inside Substratum) when running on Poco, I'm on ROM 8.10.13:
Android 9.0 Oxygen OS
Android 9.0 Pixel
I chose Pixel. Just need latest version from Play store.
Also their theme has themes for lots of apps (most have a few or none) and their team regularly updates the Swift engine theme for Substratum.
