It was just a hope that Samsung wouldn't BLOCK Substratum Overlays on the S8 series & Note8 One UI Update... But They DID 😡
At least we can still make our phones look good on the S9 series & Note9 One UI devices. 
Bad enough that we don't have any possibility of Administrator Rights on North American Snapdragon devices - But messing with our ability to customize the UI is just WRONG! 👎
Already Confirmed that Substratum does NOT work on the S10 series 👎👎😡

Sigh. That's just messed up. Why can't customers do what they want on their devices?

I'll be honest, I NEED IT. This theming engine goes beyond Samsung's apps. And they help saving me from blindness due to pure white screens in a dim environment.

I'm not going to consider any Substratum-less device. (Hoping the full Tab S5 isn't going to block it, because I really want a SD855 Tablet with a pen)

Google restricted it, not Samsung. Not a Samsung problem to fix.
