It's really easy to get setup for Substratum ?
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Reboot watch and setup device
3. fastboot boot twrp
4. Flash Magisk
5. Reboot, open Magisk Manager and change setting to auto authorize apps for root. - should turn this off when not using root
6. Sideload the latest Substratum app - it's difficult but you can get to most options. - if people get interested they may help us out with that ?
All the tools are here on XDA ?
I used the TWRP image from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch-2/orig-development/wip-unofficial-twrp-v2-8-7-0-t3321199
Here's a few screenshots ? Being an AMOLED screen this should help with battery use ?
A few more
If anyone would like to test it out on their ZenWatch 2 just let me know.
Not sure how or if this works on other devices but should as long as they are rooted
@thereal_bigjake Do you have a link to the overlays you're using? I know AW officially has black backgrounds on most stuff now (praise Google), but settings and Play Store still have that green color.

Hmm.. I don't remember the default, lol. I think it was a blue color. I linked everything to the framework so all the apps I themed would get that accent.
Just got home so give me an hour or so and I'll upload it for ya

Ok here is a folder with 3 colors ? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=243665
To install use adb install ? Choose all overlays in Substratum and then the fab choose the top option ?
Enjoy ?

Rootless is only for Oreo via Andromeda or custom roms with the Substratum rootless commits. This watch is on Android 7.1.1 so Substratum works in legacy mode.
Testing the pixel blue one! I'm wondering if I say you the backgroud hex and the accent one could you make an apk for me? I'll be able to match the subs theme i'm using on my phone in that way. @thereal_bigjake Anyway i'll test it right now. I'm sideloading subs app in this moment

If more people hound the Substratum Devs for a WearUI version of Subs then I could make it just like my theme Dark Infusion where you can choose those colors ?

I have a question. If the theme has been posted by the user HebrArtin, why there is YOUR name in the 3rd screenshot on orange wallpaper? It has been stolen from you i initially thought, but i thought also that it wouldn't make sense seeing you writing "nice theme" without asking for credits... What's going on? This looks weird.

A complete dark theme would look awesome on that Super AMOLED display of the Vivo Nex, all other other major OEM's who use AMOLED display give this option but not Vivo I'm aware of the Miui 9 dark theme and it's the only reason I haven't sold my Vivo Nex, that ugly white UI is too much for me to stomach! Thanks to the dev of Miui 9 dark for his hard work, but if we can anyone can make a complete black theme instead of grey it would be brilliant and I will definitely buy you a beer for you hard work! Here's hoping we get some awesome new themes for this awesome device

Settings/notifications doesn't theme properly. These themes are probably not designed with the Chinese UI's in mind, I also have similar problem with my Xiaomi phones. But you can black out everything else. Of course, there may be themes that work with these UI's 100%, but I haven't been able to jfind them. I am only in the settings once in a blue moon anyways, so I can live with that.

thanks for all the information I really hope Vivo includes a black theme option with Android Pie update like all other manufacturers are doing, but knowing Vivo they probably will ommit that feature as it will make their phones look different to IOS, which Vivo loves so much.

No worries. If I want to switch back to the eye popping white one, which I never do, I just change the file extension of the bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak
That'll disable it. Like in the pic. The one with the white animation has the .bak at the end :good:

You can take one by pulling down the notification shade on the second screen and using capture+ and then take one of the main screen as well either using capture toggle or the standard way of volume down and power

Here is my setup. KWGT widgets and split wallpaper.
I've wanted to get dark mode on my phone for a long time. The light theme is just not in place with everything else being dark mode on my phone.
I don't feel comfortable rooting my phone as I've just got it and i don't think the loss of Samsung apps, and my Bank application not working just isn't worth the dark theme.
But if there's anything i can do with my phone to get dark mode on Snapchat - that would be great :fingers-crossed:
