The latest Substratum update was only a couple of weeks ago and the team already has a new version to push to the public. The previous update added changes to the LogChar, changes to the Overlays, and a number of bug fixes to help make the software more stable. Now, the team has released version 812 of Substratum and this update focuses on SystemUI and Android System crash detection, a background services fix, full deprecation of Masquerade and more.
So the highlight feature of this new update is an automated way of dealing with both SystemUI as well as Android System crashes. Previously, when a Substratum overlay would cause a SystemUI or Android System crash then it would just continue with the overlay enabled indefinitely. However, a new feature from +Harsh Shandilya will look for these crashes and if it detects 3 crashes of SystemUI or Android Systemthen Substratum will automatically disable the offending overlay.
Release 812 of Substratum also comes with a background services fix to try and prevent a noticeable asset refresh the next time you launched an application. Samsung users will still notice this issue because of how Substratum works on those devices, but this fix should help others. From this version forward, Masquerade is now fully deprecated and the developers request that you move to a Theme Interfacer build to continue using Substratum.
There was another bug fixed in this release that prevented people from uninstalling an overlay from inside the theme. This bug prevented it from being uninstalled properly and that should no longer be an issue fro here on out. The last little bit from this new update is directed at themers and says users who are using Xposed on Android Nougat will now start showing up in logs. It will be up to the themers to choose whether or not they want to support those reports or not.
That's it for this update to Substratum, but you can find the full changelog listed below. . .
