Substratum provides the ability to theme your system and third party apps. Substratum has been here since android nougat and its still being managed. It was possible for people to use substratum even without root , but only upto Android 8.1. With Android Pie google has restricted the use of overlays on non-rooted devices. There is no to install them without root.
So now if you are on Android 10 and want to use substratum themes then you need a rooted device.
There are new themes started popping up for Android 10 on play store. I will list all the Android Q supported substratum themes here in this post once they come out and will try to keep the post updated.
For using substratum themes on Android Q , you need to be rooted with Magisk and need to install the Substraum Lite app. This is the lite version of the popular Substratum theme engine. The main substratum theme engine app does not support Android Q as of now but we can expect to get it working in near future. Substratum lite supports Android Q and still being developed and improved for better compatibility with android.
How to apply themes with substratum lite -
Make sure you have Magisk and a Android Q compatible theme installed.
- Install the substratum lite theme engine from play store.
- This app will automatically install its magisk module.
- Reboot
- Open substratum lite again and click the theme you installed.
- Install all overlays and reboot
- Open substratum lite and click on Manage , select all overlays and enable them.
- Enjoy
