I could be wrong but is Layers an Xposed module? if so does that means they won't work on the pixel? i was hoping to change the theme of my phone up entirely with a single app but it seems like there's no way to do this yet.
It's not associated with Xposed. Layers has actually been replaced with Substratum. I'm pretty sure it's (partially) compatible with 7.1. Have a look at the pinned post in the G+ community:

You are required to have root for this to work.
Install Substratum app from play store
Install either https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftdark.substratum or a swift black theme (same dev)
Go into substratum and ignore the warnings. Select 7.1+ and install all or selected app themes.
It works great. I've ran into only a few things that you can't read (white on white) but it's rare and the app updates quite a bit.
As far as I know, these are the only 2 themes that work.

Sorry I couldn't help you out more. Both those themes do exactly what I want though, make everything darker/black.

Edit - it works now don't select the custom ROM option

Make sure you select the right version when installing the theme. I used Nougat 7.1+ when I was on Weta.
It worked thank you

After installing ResurrectionRemix's first Nougat ROM for the hammerhead platform, I found that there was no theme engine installed. Is it typical of new releases to not include a theme engine, or is it possible this is something they forgot. If it's just something they forgot would it be possible to download something that can parse CM Theme Engine APKs and act as a replacement until themes gets implemented in the ROM?
(Just a sidenote, I have a nandroid backup of my device running the MM release, so if need be I can downgrade until such functionality gets added in)
You should inform yourself more before opening threads. There is no CMTE for nougat yet. Use substratum in legacy mode.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that they needed to update the theme engine along with everything else. Does substratum support CMTE themes?

Holy ****.. really man? Substratum is completely different from CMTE (On RR it uses the RRO legacy mode)
Just download sbstratum app from playstore, download a substratum legacy compatible theme , select overlays You want and instll them. Restart afterwards
If you want themes, go back to MM and wait.
UPDATE FOUND HERE https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/zip-android-oreo-pixel-mod-5x-t3686925
-TO-DO LIST--Navigation Bar Animation
-Substratum Compatibility
-Original Accent Color Mod (Should help with Substratum Compatibility)
-Lowered DPI Navigation Bar Mod
-Black Android Oreo Boot Animation (Currently using stock Android Oreo Boot Animation)
-Integration Boot Sound (Have to find out where it moved to. Sound isn't in the same spot as it was in Nougat)
-Converting to Aroma Installer for Customized Features
-Possibly developing app to better integrate Pixel Mods with Android Oreo's native theme support
-The Pixels (Pixel & Pixel XL) themselves actually use (in a sense) a Pixel Mod. As of Android O (beginning in the previews) the Pixels have basically the exact same setup as the 6P and 5X. However, in the vendor partition they have a Pixel Theme (called Pixel.apk). This actually visible in the apps list. If you have a Pixel on Android Oreo. Go to your installed apps and view system apps. Look for Pixel.apk. That is the pixel theme, much like Substratum Themes. Now the Pixels basically use an overlay (using Android Oreo's native theme support). The 6P has the exact same compatibility. However, installation is a bit complicated. If I or someone else could develop an app to place the files+folders in the Vendor folder and run the ADB commands, it would make Pixel Mod's much less complicated and allow complete substratum compatibility.
CHANGELOGPrevious Version: O-DP4 Mod
Current Version: Oreo V1
-Complete Rebuild from Android Oreo
-Updated all apps from Android Oreo OPR6
-Replaced Blacked Out Pixel Boot Animation with Stock Android Oreo Boot Animation
Never mind. Figured it out. Thanks for the mod!
Works flawlessly!! Thank you very much!!
O my gad look at this mod
Seriously thanks you man this is an incredible work thanks you very much :good::laugh:
@Tulsadiver made a zip with animated navbar working on OPR6, take a look, maybe you can implement it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...-dp4-nexus-5x-pixel-mod-t3648080/post73535889
Is it still root dependent?
I'm sorry but is the substratum step can be done manually by a a rooted user?
Not seeing the settings to change icon shape
@krisyarno "The best way to uninstall is to backup your system.img in TWRP and restore if to remove the mod."
Can I flash the stock system.img from Oreo through TWRP if I have to uninstall it? Don't get me wrong, this mod works impeccably on my N5x.

Night mode causes Netflix video to be black. I can hear audio and see subtitles but there is no video.
After disabling night mode everything goes back to normal.
Is there any solution for that?

On my Nexus 5x Pixel launcher didn't work. keep crashing, even after giving the app all permissions and notifications, had to delete the app and try another Pixel launcher.
Repeat, I give the app Pixel Launcher all permission also notification permissions, even restart the phone and still crashing.
The rest I love.
Thanks.

Awesome Work buddy!!

I am new in using substratum and I don't know how to change colours, tiles and icons. I managed to change the icons and tiles somehow but I can't get a black background. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, thanks for this incredible thing. I got issue with applying layers to system ui. Got error after build is done. Miui 8.8.16

Hi background is overlay on android, 2nd choice. You can choose black
You need 2 reboots. One after build&update, one after activate overlay.

Ok thanks for feedback. I made this one quickly, will provide better update beginning of week. Just Seen that a lot of icons are not as expected.
Some are not centered on qs form.
Will also provide better guide.
For example its better to have a second accent contrasting with primary as these are mixed for example in volume panel.
If tint of text is shocking, better use white or black text depending on BG color of course.
i cant run on xiaomi.eu. 8.8.16
Hi,
Really frustrated trying to make Substratum and Swift Black to theme my system and apps. Running Resurrection ReMix Pie on G930F with (verified) root. Tried Swift Black, Nano, Blue Dragoon and several others, using different options in choice of Android....NOTHING works. I've used Swift Black several times over so am familiar with cleaning, building, enabling, rebooting... But admit this time I'm stuck.
Any help will be very gratefully received.
Logcat link below (apologies if this doesn't work, I've always been able to solve before so never uploaded link before.
Many thanks in advance.

Swift dark with Substratum works like a charm
Sent from my SM-G960F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Hi, your reply is honestly appreciated, but 'dark' is not what I'm after. I will use it if I can't solve this, thank you, but you know what that say... Once you go black...... ??
According to your log you are trying to install a android 8.1 theme on android 9. I use swift minimal for 3rd party apps. For system theme i use night mode ( there is a qs tile for it) but i have the s9 so dont know if it is available in a custom rom

Anyone got a work around for this? It's not compatible yet, didn't know if there was a similar app out yet or if we are all waiting on the update

I'm just using Substratum because Swift Installer actually isn't compatible and we must wait.

Is there an engine that we can install through substratum to control the overlay colors? I don't care about a theme, I just want to change the black overlays to dark blue, while keeping dark red buttons
Swift installer works for Android 10 it doesn't work for Android 10 Oxygen OS, An update will come soon to add support.

I think simply with a compatible substratum theme like live dark.
Swift Installer 10.0.269 is out, OOS 10 is now supported
