I have substratum black theme with Andromeda on rootless Oreo Note 8.. all my themes work ( youtube, drive, email, etc) but the system UI (like the top part where all the toggle buttons are) won't change it just stays white.. it used to work until yesterday my device restarted and now only the system UI won't change. I've uninstalled it and re-enabled it but it just stays red (like how in the manager it has green for enabled and red for disabled) any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated
Same issue.
I'm having the same issue with Swift for Samsung using Andromeda non-root. What I noticed that is strange is that even after disabling and uninstalling, all the System UI overlays still show UP-TO-DATE. That makes me wonder if it doesn't apply the System UI overlays because it looks like they are already installed when they aren't actually installed.
Devs need to figure out a solution to this bug
same for me and i also cannot find the advanced settings toggle in version 970

Made this because I was sick of having so many different sized and colored icons on the notification bar. That stuff drives me nuts, or maybe it bothers me because I am already nuts...but either way here it is.
This Morph converts your current static (ie-right side) notification icons to be consistent in size and color (White and Grey for Dark Bar, Black and Grey for Light Bar), and removes the black boxes around them. This only works for icons that appear on the right of the notification bar and will not effect "alert" icons that appear on the left side such as USB connection, Usb debugging, and others. Also included is a optional morph that will make your lockscreen alarm and charging icons more consistent with the main morphs. They can also be viewed in the image below.
Hit up the images below to see the full range of icons and a screen cap. Also this works great if you use the night rendering mode in CM6 frequently, as I do.
This is working for me on CM6, and I imagine it will work on many other roms as well.
=================================================
Standard disclaimer: Do a nandroid BU before you flash this. I have no idea whats on your system, or what may cause it to break, therefore you flash this at your own risk, as with pretty much every morph.
If you are experiencing issues with metamorph hanging while trying to install, make sure you have usb debugging turned on in your system settings. yes, you really need to do this. go to settings-->applications-->development-->make sure usb debugging is checked!
If that doesnt work check this list made by morpher Formel-LMS. Must be that German efficiency...
1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you'll get error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"

======================update 8-28-10============
NEW VERSIONS FOR BOTH LIGHT AND DARK, MORE ICONS INCLUDED!
Ok, the version for light bars is done and posted below along with an icon overview image. I have also added in a few I missed the first time around like the sync icons and vibrate only icon, for both versions.
Saved for future post.
Applied the DarkOnly icons, in combo with GlasStatusBar.
Works great, looks nice, thanks for making this!
[CM6 RC3, on N1]
(notification bar looks a bit off, because of Drocap)

Nice, glad you like it. Nice screen shot too, thx for attaching.
I applied this via metamorph and restarted, yet no changes are showing, I'm running CM6 and Debugging is on.
What wasn't supposed to happen happened: I was using the theme sd-black, and then I put my phone in ultra power saving mode for a few hours. When I reverted back, everything seemed normal...until I changed themes and none of the icons changed. I switched to the default theme and while a few built in apps changed (like Phone and Messages), the rest stayed the same: tiny icons in a black circle. When I opened my icon pack themer, all the default app icons (which I can normally choose from, even with non default themes installed), were not options anymore. I've tried to use the same process that I think caused the bug to revert it, but nothing works. Any ideas?
Look at the navigation bar in the screenshot attached to this post, the application UI is black, the status bar is black, and the most common color is black. Ignoring all of this, the navigation bar is still white, and this will ironically burn the navigation bar in if you use the application too often.
Why can't the color just automatically match the status bar? It's kind of dumb to always have it as white, in applications with a black UI it looks ugly and ironically burns in. Doing the exact opposite of what the update was made to fix. There is also no way to change this, it's impossible to have any other color than something very light. This isn't a problem for me, because I always hide the bar in use (looks great), but for someone who doesn't want to do it, this will be a huge issue and annoyance.
My thoughs exactly. I have a lot of black apps and themes which frankly now look ridiculous. It is actually off putting having a huge white bar at the bottom when everything else is black or dark (and no, before some smart arse decides to say it, hiding it is NOT the solution).
I have also noticed in pretty much every app I have used that I now have this stupid bar pop up just above the nav bar which says press here to go full screen (which doesn;t actually go full screen anyway, all it does is get rid of the empty gap caused by this message in the first place). I mean WTF? I never had that showing up before and never had any issues before either.

A "huge" issue is a bit of an overstatement in my opinion. Samsung has done this on purpose to make sure that the pixels that are turned off when the nav bar is black don't burn in slower than all the other pixels on the screen, which would create an even uglier sight if that happens.

But now the navigation bar will burn in faster than the rest of the screen, it is still a huge issue... The issue is still not solved, and it looks even uglier than before. A black navigation bar on a white themed app looks good, because it blends to the black bezel, and doesn't attract attention from the content of the app due to being practically invisible (only the icons to navigate are visible).
White catches the eye, and a white navigation bar on a black app is very distracting from the content you're trying to see. It also breaks the immersion of similar colors being displayed on the entire screen, a uniformity of darkness across the screen looks good, but not, if there is a white bar in the bottom breaking the immersion.
It's beyond me why Samsung hasn't made the navigation bar sync colors with the status bar. The goal to avoid burn-ins is to have a similar brightness / color on the whole display, to avoid differences that add up to burning in over time. The status bar shifts color based on application, this is why it doesn't burn in. It's white on white applications, and black on black applications. Copying this color for the navigation bar would be the perfect fix for burn-ins, but instead Samsung turned the bar bright white under ANY conditions.

What if I want to keep the default stock look? It's not a proper solution to change the entire device's theme to be black, just to have a black navigation bar. This also brings back the burn-in issue on light themed apps, the navigation bar being black will burn in slower than the rest of the screen.
Nvm
Totally agree. Not only this but the whole software seems like it is not there yet.
I have actually disabled automatic updates on my S8+ both in normal settings and under developer settings after hearing about this update. Shouldn't that be enough? Or can I prevent the update entirely somehow without root?

If you want to completely stop system updates, you can do that with a package disabler. There are paid ones that have tons of features like data clearing, but those aren't needed in this case. The Adhell ad blocker has a package disabler built in to it, you can download the Adhell app from here if you want: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.getadhell.androidapp
After downloading and opening the application, it prompts you to give it permissions to enable the Knox service, used for blocking ads and disabling packages (no root needed). After this is done, tap the middle option in the bottom, that says "Package disabler". A list of applications appears, you can just scroll down to find the system update application, and flip the switch on the right to disable it. After this you won't get notifications of system updates anymore, because the application used for them is technically uninstalled. It still is there, but it's not in use anymore.

Ohh, I actually have booth Adhell and Package Disabler (The individual app) I will disable that thanks!
I started using Substratum recently for dark themes, trying several, but somewhere along the way my notifications began showing as white text on a light gray background, rendering them close to unreadable. I've tried to correct it by building and enabling multiple themes but the colors never change. Feels like I'm missing something obvious. Halp.
This is a Pixel XL (not 2) running 8.0.0 Nov 5 patch.

Did you remove the older themes and reboot? For notifications sometimes it's nessacary to reboot between themes I've found.

I had this problem and pinpointed it to Sonys own theme overlays taking preference, once I removed all stock themes the problem disappeared. Might be worth trying on your own device.
I just updated my P7P to the latest security update and rerooted and all.
Root works and all other modules installed seem to work corerctly.
However, Themer can no longer change anything related to the Quick settings beyond transparency and AOSP mods can't apply any changes whatsoever, and trying to enable network monitoring on the quick settings pannel makes the UI to crash constantly.
Lsposed and its modules are also enabled and working correctly.
Anyone else expariencing the same issue?
I am missing anything important here?
[SOLUTION]
-Disable Magisk hide or any similar functionality.
-Uninstall all the theme modules, even the ones that seem to work.
-Reboot
-Access the apps settings and delete all data from all the apps realted to the themes and modules just uninstalled.
-Reinstall all the modules (reboot required).
-Apply all the theming options you had before.
After that it should work again.
If you have very especific and complex themes adn UI changes made you might want to try to create a backup of those before going through that process, as it will remove all UI modificatons made with those tools.
All the stuff I use in Themer (Gradient, QS shapes, custom brightness slider + icons) works perfectly for me.
However in AOSP Mods I can't move the status bar clock to the right anymore, since updating my phone to the December patch. Other things like moving the brightness bar to the bottom work, though.

For me shapes, brightness bars, colors on the panel and so dont work, the custom clock does tho.
On AOSP mods nothing related to status bar works, and if i enable wifi status on Quick Settinsg Pannel i get the UI crashing...
Okay, i fixed it.
For anyone with the same issue, this is what i did:
-Disable Magisk hide or any similar functionality.
