So, I am changing this thread entirely. My original thread is hidden below.
I am running stock 10.0.1 rooted with Magisk. I was having the following issues:
1) Whenever selecting "Build and Install" for an overlay, it would then not show up in the Manager tab.
2) Whenever attempting to uninstall an overlay, it would not uninstall.
Turns out, any time I make a change in Substratum I have to restart before that change takes affect (with the exception of enabling/disabling an overlay). I'm not sure if this is the expected behavior, but if it is then it wasn't made very clear. So hopefully this helps anyone else who is experiencing the same issues.
Substratum has been really shaky for me on 10.0.1. My main issue is that I cannot get overlays to uninstall.
In substratum I go to Manager > Check the (already disabled) overlay that I want to uninstall > Tap the Action Button > Tap "Uninstall selected."
Nothing happens when I do this. Any ideas?
[Update] The workaround that I have found practical for my purposes was to run the SubstratumRescue.zip from TWRP. You will have to reconfigure your gesture and customization settings when you do this, but it is not as much of a pain in the ass as it could be I suppose.
I have always used build/install. Reboot. Activate them. Done.
Works every time I mess with my phone and need to get my theme back.
To uninstall, I uninstall what I want, reboot. Never had any issues getting them to go away.

You know how when you first set up the phone, let's you swipe up on the lockscreen to start right away, or down to "tune a few things first?" Well my phone repeatedly keeps doing that any time the lockscreen comes up, like whenever I turn it on or when the phone sort of crashes. When it happens, I have to wait for No Lock to disable the screen again, because if I use either option, the animation freezes half way through the unlocking and the phone crashes, going to a black screen and I have to turn it off to get it to work.
I thought it might be due to system apps I froze with bloat freezer, so I unfroze them one by one and did resets, to see if that solved it. I did this until everything was unfrozen, to no avail. I thought maybe it was due to a glitch in the extended controls widget I used to disable the lock screen, so I switchedto no lock; same problem. I don't knowb what else to do. Any ideas?
God I hate samsung and their glitch riddled android hacks. They improve literally nothing from stock android, its just glitchy hacks and downgrades.*prays for the next nexus to have a hard keyboard.*
Just fixed the same issue with my sk4g. I tried installing with terminal and various install apps, no dice. There is a workaround until you get the apks back in place. Turn on the pattern lock and set it. When the curtain lock comes up DO NOT SLIDE IT, just open the screen and the pattern lock should pop up. First install Systemapp Remover, if not done already. Download the dump in development section and pull the apks from the app folder. The two apks causing the error are PhoneSetupWizard.apk and Learn.apk(maybe not learn but i did both to be sure also copy/paste the .odex files). Make sure neither can be seen in the system app list in Systemapp remover, if they are there uninstall them. Take the apks from the dump and copy/paste them to SysteAppBackup folder on the sdcard. Go to the restore menu in Systemapp remover and tap to restore each apk. Reboot and all should be well. Thanks to the kind people of xda for this, not me.
edit>>> Run the setup wizard and uncheck the data options to stop maps from running all the time for no reason.
Hi All,
I flashed the Slimkat latest build today and after doing the necessary changes, I had to reboot the phone once (xposed installer requires it). So, after reboot, I am finding that the Device options in the Advanced options in settings is gone. It has just disappeared. Not sure what happened. In there was the setting to disable the backlights. I am very much missing that option. Anyone have a fix to get it back or any other way to disable the capacitative lights in my S3?
Help! I've been using Xposed for a while now to great reward, when suddenly installed mods and apks will not launch. The Xposed module says they are installed, but when attempting to launch I get a pop-up stating that I must activate the (activated) module and reboot, though this has been done. Greenify is suddenly failing and needs to be shortcut activated constantly & the screen lock hibernate won't activate after I check the settings box or the pop-up. Baidu downloads manager captured the package, but no data flows. Dolphin downloads and installs, but then after activating & rebooting they read as inactive only on launch. The logs all say "file does not exist". Going to have to reinstall & am ditching TouchWiz for sure. Any advice would be appreciated. Been out of the loop for a bit, but catching up, but for these WTF moments. Guess that makes me a re-noob.
So I got Magisk working on my Nexus 5 and all was well. I discovered automagisk and decided to use it. When I installed it, however, it crashes when I try to scroll through the list of apps. It's odd. I can choose to disable root for the apps on the screen, and I can enter the settings, but I cannot scroll to see the other apps without crashing it. It doesn't function for what I need (Trying to disable for Pokemon go, and I need to scroll to find it) and it's really bothering me. I have paranoid Android installed. I know it's supposed to be a stock rom, but Magisk worked, so why not automagisk? Sorry for making this so long, please let me know if you can fix this. Thanks!
How many apps do you have installed?
Background: I'm on a Pixel 3a running the January update (QQ1A.200105.002). Unlocked, stock, rooted with Magisk v20.2. Only using 3 Magisk modules (systemless hosts enabled for ad blocking, YouTube Vanced, and a custom font).
What happened: While cleaning my screen with a microfiber after work a few nights ago, I accidentally launched the SystemUI Tuner. I had created a gesture within Nova Launcher to access the SystemUI Tuner. It launched and toggled the "plugins" setting on & off. Afterward, I cursed myself for not disabling that gesture after I was done with the tuner, and I went to the homescreen. My wallpaper was gone and the background on my homescreen was black. Also, my 2 button gesture navigation was not present and my status bar was gone. I rebooted. This is when I found myself in a bootloop at the "Pixel is starting..." screen (a screen I had never seen prior to this).
Attempts to fix: Through a tip from another user I was able to get back into the phone by disabling my PIN screen lock security via adb. I did this by launching Settings via abd with:
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS
Then I disabled all lockscreen security. I also was able to backup all data on internal storage. The phone boots (sort of) now, albeit without many SystemUI elements (e.g, no gesture navigation, status bar, notification panel, wallpaper, etc.). Still shows the "Pixel is starting" boot screen beforehand. It's unusable as a daily, but I really don't want to wipe and set up all over again if possible. Does anyone know where in /system the settings data for the System UI Tuner is stored? Another user suggested I look for: data/data/com.android.sytstemui.tuner. That directory does not exist, unfortunately. The user experienced this same series of events (i.e., toggled SystemUI Tuner "plugins" and ended up with no wallpaper at the "Pixel is starting" loop). This user tried sideloading the corresponding OTA image, flashing a full system image with "-w" removed to save data, safe mode. Nothing seemed to help. Before I spend hours setting up my phone after a clean install, does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Just wipe data. Doesn't take that long to set stuff back up.

That's all kind of relative to your set-up and how busy you are... I'm an RN with a little kid at home school. Time is priceless. Maybe I should post in the general Q&A and see if anyone knows where that directory might be hiding.

I mean... You knew the deal tinkering with your phone in the first place. It really doesn't take that long and I find myself pretty damn busy all the time. Good luck on your Easter egg hunt finding the directory.
Btw thanks for being front line as a RN during these wild times.

Oh I definitely understand the risk, and I'm more than willing to flash clean and set up again. I was really just posting a last ditch effort to see if I could avoid it. Clearly, a full wipe is in my not so distant future. Thanks for your kind words.
