How to Create Custom Accent Colors for Android Devices (Root)

In this guide, we will detail the steps to create a custom accent color for your rooted Android device. With the launch of Android Pie 9.0, Google made a huge change that surely disappointed some Android users. With this update, Google has blocked the custom overlay functionality. And with that came the end of Substratum, the popular theme engine. This not only had an impact on the rootless version of Substratum (Andromeda), but also spelled the end of most rooted Android devices.

But recently, I came across an app that is somewhat capable of doing this. Although this is far from the Substratum module, it is still able to theme certain components of the device. And if you use a custom ROM, you will get a much better result. So without further ado, let's take a look at the Custom Accent Color app. Plus, with the holiday season just around the corner, take a look at the Christmas Substratum theme as a holiday gift!

The Custom Accent Color app is a work of a senior member of XDA Akilesh_15. In addition to requiring root, this application will work on Android 9 and 10, and may or may not work on Oreo devices. In addition, simply uninstalling the APK will not help. Indeed, the application, once installed, is integrated into a Magisk module. So, if you ever want to uninstall it, you will need to remove the module from / data / adb / modules via adb or TWRP Recovery. Or take the help of our detailed guide to uninstall Magisk modules.

Additionally, if your custom ROM already has a custom accent color picker, the app may conflict with that. It is therefore better not to try on these devices. This guide is tested on an Android One rooted in stock running Android Pie 9.0. That said, here are the features of the Custom Accent Color app and the next steps to install it.
