Tried the latest pn mod build
First time user with substratum and have to say amazing and really impressed and looking forward to the development of themes and its stability
I tried 3 themes
Bio hazard domination and mono
Few things i have noticed
1. i applied fonts from bio theme and nothing happened, tried 3 fonts from the theme and nothing happened although it said font applied even restarted system ui but font was the stock one
Not sure its a theme issue or substratum
2. When i applied a overlay no matter what the theme be i noticed this thing
When i opened the settings it opened just fine i mean themed and all
But for example when i opened the dialer it would load in that blue white color that is the stock theme and will then change the theme for example to the dark one when i applied mono
But this all happens in a duration of fraction a second but is noticeable
Also if I had that app in memory then it loads fine with the dark theme but when i remove it from memory and have to load it again then it behaves as described
Also don't know whether it's theme or substratum 3 themes i tried all of them didn't themed my nav bar or status bar or status bar icon, also in the screenshots for mono and bio for Layers it has themed status bar icons and nav bar so not sure about this
Other than that one more thing when i chose to revert back to the stock theme by choosing the option in the app i get a dialogue box saying play store has fc play services fc and few more apps can't remember which one but also included titanium backup in the fc as well
Also when the overlays are uninstalled and reverted back to the stock theme the phone gets laggish for a second or two i mean lag in animations for example not that if i open the dialer it will open it a bit late thats lag but if i open the dialer it opens it instantly but the it's like it's struggling in the opening animation
That's all what i can remember
Really appreciate your efforts and congratulations to the devs for their amazing work
Cheers

[ZIP][Flashable][WIP][OPP3] O-DP3 NEXUS 5X PIXEL MOD

This mod is outdated! Here's the new one! https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/zip-o-dp4-nexus-5x-pixel-mod-t3648080
THIS IS A PIXEL MOD FOR THE NEXUS 5X RUNNING ANDROID 8.0 (O-DP3)​
I've been working on a Pixel Mod for the Nexus 6P on Android O. Android O has changed up a number of things and APKTool is mostly incompatible with Android O APK's (Which is necessary for the Pixel Mod). However, I've been able to use some workarounds and have ported most features over except for the Navigation Bar and the new "Double Tap to Check Notifications".
I don't have a Nexus 5X to test this, but the work is the same. So I've created the same mod for the Nexus 5X. Because I don't have the phone to test, feedback would be much appreciated.
I have stock Android O apps such as the clock and camera for those who are trying this mod on Nougat. However, I'm guessing that this mod won't work on Nougat. Everything but the Framework-res.apk should work. But Android O has changed the framework-res.apk enough that it may cause a bootloop trying to use OPP3's on Nougat. So if you're on Nougat and try this, definitely make a backup first!
What's Included:
-O-DP3 Pixel Launcher W/ Wallpapers (Make sure to grant notification access for notification badges)
-O-DP3 Clock
-O-DP3 Pixel Audio
-O-DP3 Camera
-Pixel XL 1440p Boot Animation Blacked Edition (Thanks to Luthepa1)
-Pixel Blue Accent Color :good:
-Night Mode
-Round Icons​
What's Missing / Being Worked On:
-Pixel Navigation Bar Animation
-The New "Double Tap To Check Notifications" Feature"​Android File Host Download Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298973606

Sorry for stealing your thunder! I'm sure there are some people that want just the round icons without the rest of the mod if you still want to release that individually. Sorry for stealing your thunder though. I saw there wasn't a mod released and threw one together this morning!

Noooo! Nevermind! The round icon was almost your work! I always thank for your help It's really a happy news that you also made this mod for 5x

@krisyarno Thank you :laugh: Everything is working. Tested successfully on my 5X. :good:

Working fine here also . Only notification badges dont work , yes , i enabled them but they wont show

Everything works well except notification badges, but that's not a big deal! Again, thanks for your big help

Works perfect on my device. I was about to roll back to 7.1.2. to get rid of these awful rounded rectangle icons.
Thanks a lot for sharing!
@Riskypedia:
You need to enable notification access for Pixel Laucher to get the notification badges working.
I had also problems with my camera after dirty flashing this mod over another. No problems now after a clean new install

Yea, that's actually mine:laugh: I just released it yesterday. I was working on getting the 5X out today. But it seems like it works on the 5X too huh? That's interesting. I would be concerned about a bootloop due to the framework-res.apk. But if the 6P and 5X have the same one then it'll flash fine. Also, check out your icon shapes with that mod. I added round icons but if you want the stock icon shape, I added that under "Stock Nexus" in the icon shape settings

How i achieved the pixel nav bar with animations (no root)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
Use that app and set the static colour to black
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.axndx.prithvee.pixelnavbar
Then use this app and get the buttons placed correctly.
This isn't perfect and sometimes the nav bar has a mind if it's own but works in most apps
It also has the pixel animations
Also the nav bar has the be locked in the "up" position
Also I'm using cornify free in this pic

When I make this and I see duplicate navigation icons (one from the app and the original from the OOS launcher), I try every setting and no luck...

Yeah so u can adjust the buttons in the pixel nav bar app. Make them sighly smaller than the oos ones. For me the oxygen os ones are the "outline" and the pixel ones fill in the space.
See this pic. The light gray is oos

My settings

Thanks with moving one over the other it works. But I thinking of rooting my phone not waiting for OOS Oreo update. And make customization a lot easier!

is there any way to achieve Pixel navigation bar with animation on a rooted OnePlus 5T?

Well I had the animation without root. Still using this guide.

Try to use telegram with Navbar, and see what happens when you use the keyboard and try to attach something to the message

Guys, sorry for the request, I'm not very skilled in the programming but I guess it's easy to create a flashable .zip that substitutes only the icons of the OP5t navbar with those of the Pixel, without animations. Would someone do it? It would be a more elegant solution and without the horrible gray edges that you see using the play store app.

Its actually really easy t get the pixel navbar.
If you use substratum. Just download awesome navbar and press pixel and install. That's it. For nougat it requires root, if ur on oreo beta it does not. (Only adb)

I do not use substratum, I had tried a xposed module that did not work very well, so I had come to the point of wanting a flashable .zip like the old times on Nexus 6p. I will try substratum, thank you very much for the advice!

Does an animated Pixel 2 navbar theme exist yet?

I have the Pixel 2-style navbar installed via Zipalign Cypher's Navbar theme, but the home button lacks the animation found on Pixel devices.
Phone is a rooted Oneplus 5T, any help would be greatly appreciated.

N Navbar Pro via substratum does this.

There's an option on top of the item selection you have to change to "enable animation" or something to that effect. It's not the default. At any rate I'm currently using the mini dark ones with the swirly color dot animation when you hold home so I know it works for me at least.

Single tap home does the four dots for a split second. Back or multi-task does nothing. Single tap home does the four dots for a split second. Back or multi-task does nothing animation wise.

Sorry for the noob question, but I'm hoping you can help me out. I have the same setup, a rooted OnePlus 5t. I am running 8.0 - I can't seem to get any of Navbar apps' overlays to work. They compile, but the changes aren't seen. I know Substraum is working because I'm running Coalfield without any problems. Would you mind sharing how you got the navbar themes to work at all? I have Varefaz's Navbar Pro, Rohit Chouhan's Navigate, and also have Zipalign Cypher's Navbars but can't seem to get any of them work.

Yes. Hitting build & enable and the system ui refreshes. Within the Manager menu, the overlays are colored green, indicating they are active. I don't think anything is conflicting with this; The only apps I have effecting the navbar are Navbar Apps and Navbar Animations, neither of which have root permissions. But as a troubleshooting step, I disabled them but still no luck

No root permission? You need to give root permission if you don't want to enable Substratum through ADB

You're just not hiding the animation on a rom that already has the animation.
It says in N Navbar Pro's Play Store description that it can't enable the animation on a rom that doesn't have the animation already.

Ha! Well alrighty then.
To solve the problem, however, I've used an Xposed module called Pixel Navigation Bar, which also offers a few more features like showing your current battery level as a portion of the ring around the home button.
Has some issues but, overall, does the job.

Substratum List

Figured we could get this going, seeing as only the fingerprint substratum theme is listed here.
What themes are you using with the OP7P successfully?
Also, are there any that change some system UI elements, like center clock for example?

Pitch Black. Works perfectly for me except for Clock and Messages (blacked out but no accent colour seems to load).

I had tried VaLeRie which usually works with OOS but it just seemed to keep restarting the systemui, will wait to see if the dev confirms updated for OP7Pro, more difficult now that G+ got the Thanos snap.
RENOVATE ICE will let you move the clock as well as other modifications.

You all should check out Swift Installer on the Play Store. It's a Substratum theme, but with a lot more options.

Substratum has been like that with Pie for a while, restart and go back in and the list of themed apps will probably be in there, make sure you've allowed Substratum the permissions to install apps.

This. Best money I ever spent.

I use a combination of themes
Belo for everything except system ui and settings as it's not officially compatible with OOS
Flux white to fill in the gaps Belo left
And a couple of overlays from Outline

Flux, Flux White, Swift Dark, and Swift Black. All work nice.

I don't think it uses other themes, it makes it's own depending on the options you choose, there's a couple of Substratum apps that do the same.

I was having the same issue. They updated Swift installer in the Play Store a day or so ago and now it's working completely with the 7 Pro
