How to Apply a Substratum Theme

on

Substratum is a powerful theming engine that allows you to customize the look and feel of your Android device. In this tutorial, I will show you how to apply a substratum theme on your rooted Android device.



Prerequisites:


Before we begin, make sure you have the following:


- A rooted Android device

- Substratum app installed on your device

- A substratum theme that you want to apply


Steps:


1. Make sure your Android version is compatible with Substratum. Substratum requires Android 6.0 Marshmallow or higher to work properly.


2. Open the Substratum app and grant it root access if prompted.




3. Browse through the list of available themes and select the one you want to apply.




4. Once you've selected a theme, tap on it and select the overlays you want to apply.


5. After selecting the overlays, tap on the floating action button (FAB) at the bottom right corner of the screen.




6. Tap on "Install selected" and wait for Substratum to build and apply the selected overlays.




7. Once the overlays are applied, reboot your device and tap 'Enable selected' from the FAB. 


Please note that the methods for applying substratum themes may vary depending on the device and Android version. I recommend that you read the Play Store info for the theme you are applying to ensure that you are following the correct steps. This will help you avoid any potential issues or conflicts with your device's software.
