Out of Oxygen Substratum Theme is a Pixel Theme for OxygenOS

Many like the near-stock Android approach taken by OnePlus with OxygenOS. However, it is still not quite a stock Android ROM with added features. OxygenOS looks a bit different and does not really follow the material design guidelines. Some of you may like that and some of you probably prefer the stock Android look instead. I tend to fall in the latter group, and fortunately for us, so does XDA Senior Member tych_tych. He has created a new substratum theme called Out Of Oxygen, specifically for OxygenOS. The aim is to provide a Pixel theme for OxygenOS.

OxygenOS Apps & Features That’ll Get The Pixel Theme

In the developer’s own words, “Out of Oxygen is a substratum theme which tries to achieve a more Pixel-like experience for OxygenOS by changing icons and other visual things.” For the most part, this Pixel theme for OxygenOS is able to achieve that goal. There are already some great substratum-based Pixel themes that do work with OxygenOS. However, none of them are made specifically for OxygenOS.

Install Substratum

Out Of Oxygen is a substratum theme which means you need to have the substratum app installed. Substratum now has support for Android 10 as well, as long as you’re rooted with Magisk. If your device is rooted and runs OxygenOS 9 or above, you can simply install the Substratum or Substratum Lite app from the Play Store.
