Latest Substratum Update Adds Full Android O Theming, Dynamic Refresh Mode and More

There have been a lot of changes happening with Substratum lately, but Android O support has been highly anticipated. An update pushed out last month showed the team was preparing to add support, but we didn't know when the update would be rolled out to the public. Yesterday, it was announced that the latest version of Substratum, version 670, will now work on devices running API level 26 (aka the Android O Developer Preview).

There are some other big changes pushed in this update, but Android O support is definitely the biggest. We're told that themers will need to test this release with their themes and that users may need to wait until an updated version of their favorite theme(s) before it works properly. This release of Substratum also prepares for all of the API 26 changes (including API deprecation changes) so Substratum should be good to go as soon as the final version of Android O is released.

Along with Android O support, this new update also includes a new Dynamic Refresh Mode feature. What this means is, when you install a new theme onto your device, the application will automatically refresh the list of themes (without you manually having to swipe down to refresh). Another new feature is something the team is calling full Binderfacer support. This is something the team is calling the Interfacer module with its Binder implementations.

Version 670 of Substratum also comes with some changes that themers can look out for. In particular, it includes a theme authorization fix and are recommending themers update to the latest version of Substratum as well as version 7.0.5 of their template in order to fix an issue that was causing the Substratum filter to error out. For those interested, you can find the full developer changelog listed below…
