Just tested, the aroma installer is gone, which is kind of a downside, plus, it made my system settings crash every time I tried to open it..

This is for the open Beta's. I'm assuming you got it mixed up with this thread . That's why there is no aroma installer and you are getting the crashes.

Thanks a lot for this. I'm glad that someone took the relay in this.
For those who want dark notification, the developer has no time for that. So you could try installing this substratum theme, if your rom supports it, and just theme the notification tray.

How do you specifically theme the notification tray?
please can you create file to work in 3.5.3 ??
Has anyone had any luck applying Substratum/other overlays on Oreo (specifically CRA1)?
I have Andromeda, Sungstratum, all that stuff installed.
Yes but it took a while to find out how it worked. I'm rooted BTW so I don't need Andromeda.
Compile & activate the theme.
Reboot.
Go to substratum - manager
Activate all overlays again
Reboot
That's how it works for me.

How do you root CRA1?
Just recently got the manual Oreo CRA1 update coming from Nougat on T-Mobile S8+. It is incredibly quicker and much more fluid.
On Substratum I'm on Swift Black Complete Edition, along with Material Black from Samsung Themes. On Nougat that worked buy using the "Sungstratum" add on from the Play Store. When I upgrade to Oreo 8.0, I was no longer able to see Sungstratum in the Play Store. Instead, Substratum asked for another plug-in to allow it to run fully, Andromeda. So of course, had to buy that too.
But anyway, it's working nice. Visually that is. After finally being able to set it up to where I need it. Although, I am only still trying to figure out how to get a dark overlay for the notification card. Haven't figured that out yet.
You will have installation issues of overlays if you upgrade to Oreo CRA1 because of the new different plug-in used to activate Substratum. In my case, here is what I had to do when I installed a new overlay from a new theme. The symptom is, I install an overlay, but it doesn't show in under the "Manager" tab. Only under the theme and in the orange color, so it's saying that it's disabled. No matter however many times I select the overlay and choose options and re-enable overlay OR change overlay status, nothing happens.
What I had to do was simply restart the phone, run the Andromeda client from my computer and then go back to the overlay in Substratum and enable it, only then does it enable and turn green. The overlay actually installls this time.
I hate that part. Sucks for when trying and messing with new overlays just to try them out, makes the whole process just a freaking hassle.
Now, to the real question. You know how to get dark notification cards? Maybe dark notification tiles for the lock screen ?? that would be awesome.

Yep. Search Coffee in the forums and install it. It will then be in your Samsung themes to apply. It will black out your settings, phone, contacts and notifications. The QS Tile color comes from the coffee theme. The actual icons are from a Substratum theme.

I've had no problems. I would disable your overlays before you apply coffee. Apply coffee and see if the notifications are blacked out. If they are Grey change the resolution on your display back and forth and see of that fixes it. If that doesn't rebooting should fix it. The only minor drawback to this theme is that Samsung wants to kill it after it's been applied for 10 minutes. To stop that from happening once you get the theme working properly go in to developer options and stop the themes app. Then go in to settings-Apps-Enable system apps and clear cache and data for the Samsung themes app and the themes app. It seems like a lot of work but once you've done it a few times it only takes a minute or 2. Any time you reboot your phone you will have to redo that process. Hope it works out for you. Reach out with any other questions.

This method worked for me. I agree this is annoying to have to restart the phone connect to the pc and run the andromeda application then go back in substratum and enable the overlays just to see the changes. But if you want it you'll do it

Hello! Bought a Redmi 5plus about 2 months ago. Saying I love it, is less than fair... I really, really love this device. Lots of ram, lots of storage, it is responsive, fast and love this new format for the screen. But, I hate... NO... I loathe all this white present on the User Interface.
Prior to this 5plus, I had a Samsung S4, wich has died... Finally! LoL dont get me wrong, I have loved it too, but I had it for years, was kind of tired of it. I flashed Many ROMs to it and managed to always keep a dark UI.
So, this brings me to my question or request for help: is there anyway to put out all the whiteness to rest on the 5plus?
Been already searching XDA for flashing tutorials, but I came to the conclusion that its not as Simple to flash a 5plus, as it was flashing the S4.
Soooooo... Help? Suggestions?
Thanks for not ignoring and sorry for my poor English.
Hugs from Portugal.
Edited to ask: what is this treble and vince thing?
Thanks again.

Main difference between your old Samsung s4 (I too had one in the past and many more Samsung devices) is that Redmi 5 Plus has the bootloader locked but this device is really more easy to flash cause it has an additional way that is fastboot method and in this mode you can flash it using commands or using the official MiFlash tool also through recovery and edl mode.
Once you unlock bootloader any rom that you flash it onto (except flymeOs which I can´t find one) has their dark themes as miui with its own theme engine (based on theme chooser from cyanogen) as any aosp based rom using substratum theme.
Vince is the codename of device and treble support (not natively implemented) tries to create an universal system image for all devices as many possible to get reach every update more easily. (this is a basic explanation, there is many more)

there should be an app called, "Themes" somewhere on your home screen. open it and search for Dark Legacy pro and apply it.
Yes, there is a "themes" on the phone definitions, but it only shows 2 themes installed and there is no search option. Installed and APP from the Google playstore... Will test it.
Edited to Say, this sucks!
Have already tried and download a few themes.
But it doesnt let me apply them.
Error: themes are not supported in your region.
What?! So sad... Why is this?!
Hello. I managed to install dark legacy pro, all I had to do was Change my phone's region, login to the Miui fórum and download the theme.
One Word: Perfect!!!! Thanks for all the help!

Looking forward to your themes, mark. The LG themes, especially the G7 ones, were amazing.
Basically the whole phone go "dark" after we enabled dark mode in battery settings.
And yes, including the toggles.
However, for messaging app. You will need to switch it to dark mode manually in the top right setting icon.
Don't think we will need a dark theme for this one.
Tried the dark mode. However, anyone still getting a white 'light' navigation bar even when using dark mode? Especially when using apps, etc.
Yup, just waiting for a decent dark theme like everyone else.
I wake in the early hours, so need a theme that doesn't burn my retinas.

Did realise for some apps, after an update, the task bar stays dark. So it might be individual apps having to update.

Is anyone currently using a theme besides the in house dark mode right now? Specifically not one that just does icons. Before I start tinkering I wouldn't mind trying something out to tide me over. And I guess I want to get confirmation that themes even work and that Huawei didn't block them or something ridiculous.
Themes do work and Theme Editor for EMUI works, too, kind off, doesn't support EMUI 9 yet, you have to make do with 8.
I'm just using Theme Editor for Icons and Fonts and KLWP to get my Homescreen to look like I want it.

Hmmm I hadn't been able to get any full themes to work at all. But I'm thinking maybe it's because I had a crappy themes app installed by default. Once I installed app gallery it updated the themes app and it has way more options now. That might be why. But the ones I tried last night from Google Play prior to this only changed the icons. They were for emui8 which I understand likely won't work in everything but none of them did anything. May have to try again with new themes app
Ok so for fun I did try a couple emui 8 themes and it looks we can theme everything. Mind you none of them worked well. So I'm hoping to start making something. But first I gotta figure out why I can't decompile any system apps. Everything errors out so that's a bit of an issue
Hi everyone, I have a p20 lite ane-lx3. Since October security patch update, when I want to apply one theme, the theme doesn't apply properly because the status bar and navigation bar doesn't change :'(
I don't know if I have problems with my phone or huawei quit that feature.. Have you been experiencing this?
Thank you.
PS: I have done two factory reset on the phone.
Did you restart your phone after applying the theme?

Yes, I did but nothing changed. Also I did two factory reset but didn't work :'(
Hmm don't know Bro. Restart after applying theme worked for me. Then the themes loaded correctly.
you should send your phone to repair
I am experiencing the same problem. It seems like the last couple of updates changed some things and that has broken the theming engine. I guess we will just have to wait till the next update where it might get fixed.
even I too want to confirm that there is nothing wrong with the phone. People are not checking their phones properly and are under the impression that their themes are working properly. To know if a theme is working fully, after applying a theme and reboot, check if icons under settings applet have changed or not, check whether status bar icons are changing or not, if having VoLTE connection, check whether its changing to HD instead of VoLTE(applicable for some themes), battery icons and even some apps interface (usually the Calculator).
Currently the only thing that is working is changing of app icons, wallpapers and a few colors like message/sms colors, and nothing else unless you use Xposed to tweak your visuals or some substratum theme engine. Even Huawei too confirmed that their theme engine is broken and they are working on a fix with Android 9 update, but they are clueless about when it will be released for beta testing, but they confirmed that development of emui for p20 lite is on the works and broken themes wont be fixed until l Android 9.
However some noobs are happy that their app icons got changed and are celebrating the fact that theme engine is working properly.

Thnx for the tip. Feeling like a big noob right now.
Never realised that only the dialer, icons and colours changed whilst changing themes.

yes!!! let me attach a theme, kindly test and post your screenshots. I shall show you the difference between your smartphone visuals and that of mine. I can showcase as I am still with September patch. But I am not sure whether I can show the difference as you seem to use P10
Thanks, tested it and only things that don't change are settings menu icons and status bar.
Nice theme, no fan of apple so I'm not going to use it but nice work!!
Huawei Theme Engine Broken
While these are the screen visuals of my screen with an older security patch. I didn't use any substratum theme engine or Xposed tweaks to change the colour within apps like Play Store, VLC. Even Outlook interface was changed to Red instead of usual blue, but couldn't post it due to all confidential items inside it.
P.S: I don't know whats so "apple" in it? I used this theme just for a neat status bar. Used a different theme for app icons. The only thing I had to bear is under software version it shows ios 11 instead of emui 8(but who visits that screen). Lockscreen too can be changed. I might use an app like Theme Editor for EMUI to change status bar icons, but certain things are not changed like displaying HD instead of VoLTE. Copy pasting of this theme's status bar into other themes and building a new theme too does no help.
Hence the problem
Sh*t. I have the same problem with December patch for p20 lite.

The Overlay Manager Service (OMS) is intended for device manufacturer's use.
