About this app

aospUI Black is the first and most strongly AOSP user interface inspired black theme.
If you like black themes and you love Google's Android design, this merges the two ideas together.


The theme installs through an app that this app will link you to, where you will have to buy an add-on made by Substratum developers.

The theme supports:
Samsung, AOSP based, OnePlus and Google systems
from Nougat, up to Pie*.
*root needed on Pie, except on Samsung where you can use Synergy or Andromeda

It is recommended to connect your phone to adb on your PC before installing the themes unless you're rooted, because with adb you can recover your phone from eventual bootloops without wiping.
Many manufacturers' ROMs aren't guaranteed to be compatible (the more different they are from AOSP or Google ROMs UI, the more they're likely to not be compatible.
In case you end in bootloop flash the rescue zips that you find in /sdcard/Substratum/, if you have custom recovery, and ask for refund, also by e-mail if you need.

This app has been great. Is there a bug for Android 9 on Samsung lockscreen notification text not switching to white on black notification background? Edit: yep, running Alexis 9.0. Thanks for your speedy reply. I never would have found that setting! Didn't think to check into lockscreen > notifications for more options. Thought it was just a switch.

Change lockscreen notifications transparency from settings. Making it zero, will switch text to white on dark wallpaper. How did you put my themes on s8? You have root? Oh okay now I understand :)

on this update for samsung nougat, has the option at the top to select dark notifications been removed? That actually fixed alot of my notifications text and backgrounds. i have edited my framework res for white text but it is not perfect. if thats the case, is there some way i can get the version before back? edit... maybe uninstall ALL overlays, instead of just from your theme?

Actually, that's a big issue, options should be there. The hotfix is coming soon. And for nougat, dark notifications is an option that you must not choose on Samsung, use Samsung nougat stock. No, there's a problem, hold on. Just wait the update

Love the theme, wish there was more updates though. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but maps, Google, and playstore all have problems. Directions in maps crashes it. Also wish there were more apps added. And black navbar. All in all though great theme for Samsung pie, one of the only ones too. Edit: holy s*** that's was a fast reply! Can't wait for update thanks for advice on fix. Changed to 5 stars

The navbar color depends on the singular app. On the update i'm releasing tomorrow, I'm introducing many fixes, including maps and navbar color on some app. For google, just rebuild the overlay, for play store, rebuild it, but it will have some graphics bug EDIT: ahah thank you for updating the review :)
