On my HTC One A9, my substratum keeps crashing after a recent update anybody got an idea why?
Would uninstalling a theme from substratum without removing overlays cause any problems?
How do i remove all overlays from substratum without using the App as it keeps crashing everytime i load it?

I had installed the Layer Manager. It works with some Apss, and with some it doesn't.
You can't theme the Framework of the HTC one A9, this cause ForceCloses of some System-apps

Then I understand that the "settings app" obviously wont work..
if I remember correctly, the settings.app itself works, but the Text of the quick-notification don't shows correctly if you don't theme the framework.
Try it out: Install the overlays you want and if it don't work, boot into recovery, mount system and use the filemanager to delete the overlays in "system/vendor/" and reboot your phone.
My phone is Xiaomi Redmi 4x, with RR 7.1.2 Rom. After installing substratum with DNA, its worked but some app is force close and random reboot. So i uninstall that theme and Substratum App itself. Now the force close pop up is gone, but i can't open Youtube, buildprop, and some app anymore. Any suggestion? I also delete overlay.xml in data/system
Sup, new to XDA..and also new to Substratum..just a few questions if u guys don't mind-
i am currently using the swift pitch black overlays, is it true that when overlayed apps get an update that u have to uninstall that overlay, reboot, update app then reinstall that app for that specific version? i read abt it, not sure how true it is..just trying to play it safe.
also, when Oreo launches for the Note 8, which is the device i am running will having these overlays effect anything? really trying to avoid a hard reset and/or brick.
thanks n advance for any input. ??

For the first question: you can simply update the app and try to open it. If it keeps crashing, Substratum will automatically deactivate the corresponding overlay and you should be able to launch the app. If the overlay is deactivated, uninstall it (the overlay) using Substratum and try building and applying it again. If you get an error while building the overlay, you'll know the theme needs to be updated. Check your sources for a new version and install the new version. Then simply build and apply the new overlay for the app and enjoy
As for the second question, I'm afraid I don't know anything about that since I'm using a ROM with OMS commits and always prefer a clean flash. I really hope someone else is able to answer that question.
And I've got a question for everyone as well... Does the contextual profile switching actually work? I've tried it and it only switched out half of the theme... Do I have to wait longer for it to fully switch themes or is it simply not working? The themes I'm trying to switch between are Belo (during daytime) and Mono/Art (during nighttime).
OnePlus 5T, Oreo (8.1.0). I've been using Andromeda to connect with Substratum successfully over the past few months. I need to update my apps again, so I went to disable the black theme in Substratum as usual. It's usually super quick, but this time, nothing seemed to be happening for over a minute. I rebooted my phone to see if any changes had taken place. And nope, the black theme is still installed. I went to open Substratum again, but this time, I keep getting this error message: "It seems that verification has failed. Try force closing substratum and relaunching." Rebooting isn't helping. In Andormeda, I see a bunch of text that wasn't there before, the last line saying "exit, script finished." Looks like I was too quick to reboot and messed things up.
How can I uninstall this theme safely if I can't open Substratum? Is it okay to reinstall the app or...?
Thanks
Nevermind, I reinstalled Andromeda and was able to uninstall my theme after that. XD

From settings on your phone, go to andromeda and substratum, clear their cache and data then uninstall them. Reboot your phone then reinstall both from the play store. That fixes a lot of issues. It normally happens when you restore a backup of both apps after resetting a phone to factory settings/setting up a new phone. Hope that helps.

So I was just playing around with substratum (a theme overlay engine) in the profile section until it suddenly broke and kept crashing the UI or something like that and returning to the lockscreen.
I don't know if it has any correlation but now the lockscreen and app icons are stuck to classic. I can't change them using the Themes app. Any ideas how to fix this?

Just flash rescue.zip from twrp which is on folder of substratum in internal storage. When u install substratum then it will automatically add a rescue zip in a folder named substratum which may be flashed to remove all overlays completely in any case u massed up.

I didn't know about that. Thank you very much! I can change themes again.
