List of Android Oreo Substratum Themes

We have compiled this list of Android Oreo Substratum themes that work without any problems with Oreo. The themes have been thoroughly tested and officially support Android Oreo.

It is wise noting that any themes available on the Google Play store that explicitly state “RRO” or “Legacy” will not work on Android Oreo. The RRO project is now depreciated and Overlay Manager Service is its new face in the market, thanks to Sony. Again, we do not recommend you to install any old theme that uses RRO.

Please make sure that you read the app description on the Play Store and keep yourself informed about any do’s and don’ts that the theme developer mentions. So let’s get on with the complete list of Android Oreo Substratum themes.
