How to Use Substratum Theme Engine?

Hi there! Wanna know how to use Substratum? Here's how!

But there are a Few Prerequisites

-- A Rooted Device

-- Substratum Theme Engine - Download From Google Play | Telegram (Link Portal)

- Any Substratum Theme

I've made a list of Good Substratum Themes, check them out here

- A bit Of Patience 🙃


Instructions

Step 1

-- Start by Enabling Substratum in Magisk Manager, it is mostly enabled by default but re-check it once!

Step 2

-- Select your theme inside Substratum, and scroll and select all the options which you like, but before you go ahead make sure you have selected correct Android Version! That is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

Here I'm using Oxygen OS 10 + Liv Dark Theme with Gradient McLaren Preset since that is one of my personal favourite themes!

Step 3

-- After Selecting your preferences, click on the "Build and Install" Option, De-select the "Disable Other Themes" Option but select it if you are using 2 or more Substratum themes, in my case, I'm using only one so I will deselect this option

After that let it build the theme for you!

Step 4

-- Reboot your device and open Substratum again and go to the Manager Tab, you will see "Select to toggle all overlays option" Enable it

Step 5

-- Click on "Change Overlay States and wait for a few seconds, your SystemUI will Restart and theme will be applied!

Voila! Enjoy your new theme!

Notes

-- If you get stuck in boot loop or you have black screen after applying theme, go to your custom recovery, there will be a Substratum Folder in Internal Storage, Open that folder and choose SubstratumRescue.zip and flash this zip in recovery. If there is no zip you can download that from the post.

-- If you're using OrangeFox Recovery, it is Included inside your recovery, no need to download it seperately (unless you're using Older Version Of OrangeFox)

Use Wipe Substratum Overlays Option from Here

-- If for some reason, any app is not opening or crashing, do the following as shown in the screen rec!

In my case, Phone app was crashing when I clicked on the Dialer!


That's it for this one guys! Hope you liked it!

Thanks!
