Hi.
Does anyone having an issue, where some overlays (working correctly otherwise) are not applied after a reboot?
Using Swift Minimal black with SM-950F rooted - on EchoeROM (November security patch).
Substartum - V914, Sungstratum - V36.
I noticed this with Translate and Keep (both Google) - I apply them and work fine, but after reboot they are back to white - substratum shows them as UP-TO-DATE.
If I apply them in substratum again, they are working fine (until reboot).

Check on the Telegram Group - If you haven't already purchased Andromeda - Just buy it and Support the Devs ?
Lol i bought it and it there waiting on Official AT&T Oreo for my Note8 and S8 Plus, no complaints here , and i can't use it since I'm on Nougat, did use it a bit but i decided to downgrade my AT&T S8 Plus back to nougat, so Andromeda is just there on hold, lol plus helps the Devs by me supporting them!

I am using Samsung S8 plus with android 7.1.1. I'm just wondering, do I have to uninstall all the themes I have installed before updating my software version? Cuz last time after updating my software the system UI kept stopping working so I had to wipe all the data and reset to factory setting.

Thanks for this theme engine. It works beautifully on my s7 (swift minimal+status bar icons).

I applied my swift theme, but got a few errors with caller ui. Has anyone else experienced this? Other than those errors, it works great and makes my phone look stock.

I owe an S8, using the same theme, no issues at all.
Since it's a theme related issue I would advise you to ask the theme's author.

As long as your Samsung is on Nougat and has native Nougat theme support, you're good to go. Check to make sure the themes you're wanting to use support your device, some only support newer Samsungs

Some of the themes, overlays or expansion packs
I download for substaratom on my s8+ running nougat dont show up in the drawer in the substratom app such as AIO theme expander. It says successfully downloaded and it showed in the list the first time I downloaded it, but had to delete because it caused a problem when rebooting and now it wont show up so i can use it. Its not adding anything to any of the themes I have downloaded either. Theres a couple other apps I have downloaded that wont show up either. Am I doing something that I didnt do the first time?

    List of available themes ready for Samsung thanks to @pimpmaneaton: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/help/collection-substratum-themes-compatible-t3635673

    ATTENTION: You can still run Substratum Legacy (shows in the toolbar) without the addon, but it may not work with Samsung devices, so you must get the addon app!

    How to apply Substratum themes
    1. First, you will need to install the apps listed above
    2. Download a theme that doesn't rely on Android System or theme ready Google Apps...so find themes like Swift Black or Swift Dark on Play Store.
    3. Once you install the theme, Substratum will throw a notification saying that a new theme has been installed
    4. Open the theme in Substratum and click on the app (one at a time for now only) and click the button on the bottom right.
    5. Click Install and let it compile. It will ask to install an APK to your device. Install it.
    6. You can switch to that application and see if it is themed. If it isn't, manually force close the app in Settings or reboot your device.
    7. (ATTENTION) It is HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended NOT to apply Android System and SystemUI elements as of yet UNLESS your theme supports it and shows "dangerous overlays" by default. For themers, all you have to do is set @bool/ThemeSupportSamsung to true.

    Current Bugs
    - none

    How to recover?
    You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
    1. Reboot your device
    2. Hold down the Volume Down key while booting up
    3. You are now in Safe Mode
    4. Go into Settings -> Apps, then find the overlay you think is messing up and uninstall!

    How to recover if the above doesn't work? (Credits to Evozi)
    You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
    1. Turn on screen and press power button. It will show "Shutdown", "Restart", "Emergency Mode"
    2. Turn on "Emergency Mode", keep spam the checkbox so you can tick the checkbox to proceed the agreement. (phone is super lagging)
    3. While you are in emergency mode, you have very limited access. Open any system app and go to recent task list.
    4. Long press the app task, press the info icon and app detail page will appear.
    5. Hit the back button and it will show your whole app list.
    6. Find your overlay and remove all its storage and phone permissions.
    7. Deactivate Emergency Mode and now you are back to TouchWiz.
    8. Uninstall the overlay app.

    S8 users, Swift for Samsung will be free starting around 2am until Monday. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swift.samsung

    You have to join their Telegram group. Then click on the 3 dots in the upper right and hit Files. Kind of a shady way to hand out an apk, but I'm not one to talk.

    Our full operation runs through Telegram but soon it will be on Play Store too.

    The reasoning behind this is because we have build bots to automatically compile an updated APK and send it to the chat when I push a commit, also a nice way to directly contact the devs (me).

    We have just pushed Substratum 816!

    https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73382210&postcount=12

    To emphasize more on Samsung tweaks, as @OhayouBaka stated, there's now a priority selection in Substratum's settings, so previously automatically reverted overlays on Samsung devices (other than Google) will now be able to stick (hopefully!)

    Also, Substratum now works perfectly on ENG U1 unlocked firmware with root, which means that you guys ACTUALLY have a rooted options now for Samsung so that it installs overlays silently! Thanks @OhayouBaka and @InFlames03 for testing root functionality and @elliwigy for ENG firmware tests!

    Samsung Addon Users (v20 release):

    We have added the ThemeKiller into as part of the package, please use the "What is this?" button if you don't understand how to enter your own ELM key :)

    A HUGE thanks to @Tigerhoods, @elliwigy, @bigmase, @Venom0642, @markbencze, @ted77usa, @zplit, @OhayouBaka and @InFlames03 for all their support and testing during this beta phase!
