I'm trying to figure out which theme engine is better. I have used both but am looking for others opinions. Which one do you guys suggest.

Personally I prefer Substratum, been using it for several years. Downloaded Theme Galaxy and gave it a look - uninstalled it.

I always end up getting force closes on apps about a month after I install a theme on substraum. That's the only reason I was trying this one. But I feel like substraum is more integrated.
Samsung themes FTW!
There are some great devs for themes in telegram. So about Substraum.. Well, imagine and u walk on the street and you see some dog sh!it. This is it. One big brown sh!t and u can call it substratum. Is so shi!!ty I cant even explain it. And i don't see a reason to use it on Oreo since custom themes doing much better work than this sh!it called substratum. Even I signed the petition, I think Google doing the right choice to kill it. Substratum bugged my phone so hard I couldn't even do phone calls...And even didn't theme everything like custom themes does it. I think substratum should stay in the past. IMO .

Are you on Oreo? If so there is an official beta of substratum that's been working great for me. Sometimes the app is updated several times a week.
Substratum is still under development. There are about 2 - 3 updates every week.

Samsung themes are barely acceptable, not much theming at all. Only icons that change are the stock samsung themes. Haven't had any reboots or any problems at all with substratum on Note 8 Oreo or S8+ on Oreo.

I've looked around but couldn't find if there are any themes that make the phone look aosp. I'm on the fence right now between this and the G4. Google now launcher can take care of the home screen and app drawer, but want the menus and notification shade to look aosp as well. Possible? Last thing I need to know before pulling the trigger.

Sorry thot, I should have specified a non root theme. Didn't Samsung open their theme store for user submitted themes? I'm going to be test driving the phone and I doubt they'd like if I returned the phone in 14 days rooted with the efuse tripped....
Oh no. Nothing like that. All samsungs themes are cartoon or hipster garbage or an outright advertizement.

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

Tapping restart system ui doesn't work for you on the main screen?
Yesterday, AmirZ posted a Rootless Pixel Launcher on Reddit that manages to bring the full Pixel Launcher experience with Google Now tab to all phones without root required.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6gn8f9/rootless_pixel_launcher_port/
Like all other ports of the Pixel Launcher, it did not work on Knox (Secure Folder) enabled phones: App crashed, app drawer was blank. However, the source code was available as Android Studio project and I could debug the code ... and managed to add two lines that made it work on my S8.
You got no idea how happy I am right now.
I'm sure AmirZ will add the two lines to the project together with other bug fixes within the next few days. If you don't wanna wait, try my version, available at
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1wrGoe5e9-EWlF5SVUzMDFoOHM
Update: AmirZ added this fix in version 1.3. Head over to Reddit to download the apk / sources.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6gn8f9/rootless_pixel_launcher_port/
Make sure you uninstall this and any other Pixel launchers before installing the Launcher3.
Awesome ! was looking for this for so long ! Thank you !
If you can do it, I have two requests.
1. Could you change the accents to pixel blue ? (The slider on the right when you open app drawer)
2. Can the background on the app launcher be changed to dark / black ? I think that just works and looks better on the S8
The color was already changed in the version 1.2 on Reddit (but does not include the Knox compatibility yet). I'd hope that 1.3 does include my bug fix.
Someone really need to keep this updated, implement Android O sources, etc. This will not be me though since I have no clue what powerful magic AmirZ used to get the pixel launcher / google now working in non root. I'm terribly unqualified to do any real development on that ^^

Yes. I'm fairly certain this all is based on AmirZ's hack and we will see many more launchers adding the Now pane.

The latest git versions by AmirZ do work with Knox. You need to make sure to remove all previously installed Pixel launchers (select another launcher as standard before uninstalling all of them) and then install
https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases/tag/Pixel-v1.4
If it force closes in launch, just delete all cache and app data for Launcher3 from the settings. It should work. My Knox fix was implemented in version 1.3.

Awesome appreciate the update! I don't think i tried the latest thanks
thanks for that, it runs very smooth and no issues. the only thing I'd like is to be able to make the icons a bit smaller. Is that possible at all?
Dude this is awesome thank you!
There is a bug (or feature) that prevents proper AMOLED power savings on the top of the launcher. You will notice that while applying any background which is black up top (which AMOLED should turn off) there is still active pixels (in a dark room you can see this as a thin bar on top of the screen - kind of like light bleed). I have notified AmirZ of the issue and hopefully he can fix it.
if this launcher can accept icon packs then it would be perfect, so I can theme over the stock touchwiz icons!

Nice theme, i found a bug in gallery app
The "notifcation-search- three dot menu" and "share - delete - three dot menu" is invisible because the font is white
Also there's a pop notification showing the theme is error every 3-5 minutes
Can you do this theme in black?
Firstly, i am highly appreciated your nice work
Tittle of this thread shows your theme was for all galaxy devices. So i installed it on my s7e and applied it. OMG, screen is black 30s after that. I could not do nothing. My phone almost got soft brick. Thanks God, it has TWRP inside. I opened TWRP -->Advanced..-->File manager. Went to /data/app/xxxxxVMixxxx and deleted this folder. Now i can use my device like before installing your theme.
Bro if i did not do anything wrong with my phone, pls fix it. I really really wanna try yours. Thanks
Sr for my bad English

Im so sorry for your bad Experience. You can reboot to safe mode if that happens again and then delete the theme. Ive uploaded a Common version that will work with other devices... The v3 normal one is kind of specific to s9 that's why you faced that problem. Im sorry again! Use the V3Com on your device. It'll work perfectly! Thanks ?
V4 and a Common Version is coming Right Away! Thanks for sticking around! The updates will fix FC bugs and the common version is coded to work with all devices!
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.
