How I managed to get it to work i posted it a few posts back, but basically make sure you enable usb debugging and allow adb debugging in charge only mode and it worked for me after that, hope this helps
[prjkt.io] ArmStrongDickPunch:
Ok now im having another issue with Andromeda and substratum is when i apply the themes it makes me reboot to enable them which defeats the purpose of the app considering inorder for themes to apply with a reboot i then need my computer to re-enable Andromeda.. any suggestions?
[prjkt.io] Ferbee:
Is there a way to be able to downgrade the Andromeda app, back to another version...

This Andromeda version, doesn't work ever unless I have wifi turned on... But substratum just doesn't connect either

Anyone know what's going on?

It may have something to do with the new installer(it's named Swift Installer). I purchased it today, and it's very different. There was also an update today on it. Not sure, but just stabbing in the dark..
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
On G+ CharG said that it is Google wanting a privacy policy update and it will be back soon. I just got a Play Store notice of an update.

Installing SwiftBlack theme on OxygenOS Oreo for the first time. It says it's "Preparing theme overlay", but it just keeps looping and looping with no progress for 30 minutes.

Any thoughts?

I can't install the Andromeda client java, when i click the link and download it, it pops "Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again" and "A Java exception has occurred" Help me guuuys! I really want to install substratum on my phone
[prjkt.io] Leo s:
Having trouble with installing it on my lg g6 :(

the "ADB devices" command doesn't see may Lg G6, when I launch the client and click any button it closes.

I've got USB Debugging enabled.
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
You problem is an ADB setup not working. You need that before you have any hope of using Andromeda / Substratum. :cowboy:

Here is a tutorial to get it working.

https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

After you get that to work then start over with Andromeda / Substratum. :good:
[prjkt.io] darkbash:
Hello there, I downloaded Andromeda and I tried to apply a theme (PitchBlack Neptune Purple) with Substratum/Andromeda (the part with windows script works very well) but when I apply the overlays I don't see the changes after a reboot. I have a OnePlus 6 on Oxygen OS 5.1.5 anyone can help me ? :)
[prjkt.io] digital mystik:
Hello, Does anyone know how to get the linux script working with Arch/Manjaro by any chance? After unzipping the files I am unable to run start_andromeda.sh due to "no such file of directory."
[prjkt.io] bohrabhijeet:
Select "Build and Update" instead of Build and Enable. And reboot.
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
I'm on Linux Mint 18.3 and run it as my user not as sudo or root. I have the adb binary and the start_andromeda.sh in an Andromeda directory as home/user/Andromeda. I use "./start_andromeda.sh" (no quotes) from the terminal.

Did you change the permissions on the start_andromeda.sh to make it executable? Mine shows -rwxrwxr-x Try "chmod a+rx start_andromeda.sh" (no quotes) in the directory.
[prjkt.io] digital mystik:
So it works now.. I had to cd $HOME/Android/Andromeda and ran the chmod command.. what is the a+rx flag? Someone on IRC told me to try -x but I did a+rx first before the response.

Thanks for the help!
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
Try

sudo chmod a+rx start_andromeda.sh

and then input your password, maybe? It looks like a permissions problem using chmod and running the shell script.
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
When I try run the batch file on my computer it just gets this out and the CMD prompt closes. Does anyone know what's happening?
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
Are you in fastboot mode? Looks like your in adb with the phone OS running :confused:
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
I'm using a pixel, what does that mean? Fasboot mode? Os running?
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
If your using the original pixel, then in order to flash a new OS or whatever, you need to be in bootloader/fastboot mode. What exactly are you trying to install?
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
Using a pixel 2 and I want to activate substratum
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
Ah, gotchya. Thought you were trying to do something else. Sorry, my bad. However, if your rooted, you don't need Andromeda :good:
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
Am I in the wrong thread? And I am not rooted. No it's the right thread
[prjkt.io] ArmStrongDickPunch:
In this thread a few posts back they recommended that i root my phone which i dont plan on doing so the other suggestion is apply the themes reboot and relaunch the pc program to re-enable Andromeda unfortunately theres no other work around..
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Yes correct thread and yes works, no root yes need Andromeda from playstore but process has changed with March update.

Build update overlays then reboot device, then enable overlays.

Hope that helps

DJ
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
Thanks for the help but I have no idea what update build overlays means or how to enable them
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
If you look at the first pic, you'll see "Build & Update" After you select which overlays you want to build. After you have built your overlays, reboot, then go back to the substratum app, and open up manager. Then you select which overlays you want to enable(second pic) :good:
[prjkt.io] darkbash:
Thanks for your help, I will try that !

We have introduced a new mode that is: Sungstromeda mode which themes your Samsung Oreo without having to connect Andromeda.[/QUOTE]

[MENTION=7817389]abhijeetbohra[/MENTION] I liked the Andromeda and straight forward installation without prompts on previous version. With Sungstromeda, I understand that we no longer need to connect to Andromeda but still need to have it on the phone. But would there be an option to fall back to the previous way or installing/managing overlays?
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
Does Andromeda having to be working at to do this? Cause that's my issue, I can't get the green check mark
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
Yes it does if your non rooted :(
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
See that's the problem, I can't get the green check. Does using a pixel 2 make a difference?
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
It looks to me like your ADB setup is not working or not setup correctly. I mentioned this to another poster above, see if it helps you.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76707965&postcount=1517

Pixel 2 works the same with ADB as all Android phones have, at least back to 2.2 in my experience. :good:
[prjkt.io] Caspid:
What's the proper process for updating your setup when a theme (e.g. PitchBlack) is updated? I've been uninstalling all overlays, re-selecting all the desired ones and "build and enabling" them, rebooting, and enabling them. Is there a faster way?
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
I don't uninstall my overlays, I just disable them. Then I use the "build & update" menu, reboot, then restore my theme profile :good:
[prjkt.io] Floopy1962:
Not working????!!!
[prjkt.io] garylawwd:
OK this is your first XDA post so welcome to the community.

First of all when it comes to bug reporting make sure you give as much details as possible. Simply saying not working is just ridiculous and does not help anyone.

Most people here on XDA will give ya as much help as possible if you provide the necessary info and preferably a logcat with the issue.

You need to give your device, android version, what firmware/ROM you are using, what exactly you did and what exactly it is your trying to achieve. As you can see from all the comments on the thread here it is in fact working and is more than likely not working for you coz you fudged something up.

Give details of your issue and it will be resolved.

A good starting point on how the site works is to read the forum rules and this is incouraged for all junior members on the site
[prjkt.io] Anmol Srivastava:
It is not working for me!!

I downloaded the latest Andromeda app purchased from play store but it closes up automatically. After running the Windows Client on Windows 7 64-bit and it shows connected and then closes like before. Substratum says "could not connect to andromeda backend" when I try to build theme overlays.

I am running Android 8.1.0 Oreo on Zuk Z2 Plus with Resurrection Remix OS. Anyone can help?:( :eek:
[prjkt.io] seanskiT!:
If you are running RR, you are rooted, correct? Then you don't need andromeda. You need to grant root privilege to substratum.
[prjkt.io] Anmol Srivastava:
But the rooted version of substratum crashes sometimes... I thought that Andromeda would solve that issue or is it conflicting BECAUSE I have rooted?
[prjkt.io] seanskiT!:
Andromeda is for unrooted.... It is stated in the op.
[prjkt.io] MBechirM:
the automatically closes itself the second i start it :( i know it's a security measure to keep the thieves out but i purchased the app from the play store so what gives ???
[prjkt.io] Ferbee:
Yeh but with andromeda, substratum runs so much faster and better

[prjkt.io] white_rose:
Hi,

Where are installed the overlays ? I can't find them in my packages list.

I'm having issues with Instagram and Playstore. Apps are crashing when not themed, I suspect this is because some old overlays didn't uninstall.

On unrooted S8 substratum+andromeda
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
Look in root/data/app.
[prjkt.io] white_rose:
unrooted
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
I'm guessing this is a problem right? I bought a usb adapter so I can plug it into my laptop but never makes a sound when I connect to my laptop, I can never locate my phone on my laptop, it doesn't say it's connected on my phone either. However it is charging when it's plugged in
[prjkt.io] garylawwd:
Enable USB debugging in developer options?

If its not that then maybe your USB adapter doesn't transmit data but only transmits power through it
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
Yeah that's enabled, so I guess this explains my issue then. It's the adapter. I bought it off Amazon. Do I need a specific one for my pixel?
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
You need to get to the point where opening a teminal window and typing "ADB devices" shows your phone serial number. Until you get ADB setup correctly, nothing else you can do will work.

admin@LM183 ~ $ adb devices
List of devices attached
7XXKPXX07XX3XX	device

(serial number above redacted)

Sounds like you have a power cable without complete data connections.
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
That's fine but I don't think my phone is even connecting so that's completely separate issue
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Yes you need a data cable for adb to work
[prjkt.io] solargrim:
I had a problem after rooting my device. Before substratum + themes work normally (htc u11). Now when I want to start andromeda I have a result: 'unathorized app Lucky Patcher'. Luckypatcher was uninstalled. I tried again. When I start andromeda client on android window disappear. What happens? Where I can read message logs?

Andromeda WIndows Client started succesfuly - Andromeda Service started on this device -> FA(number). Now I try to run substratum application on my htc but this window fast disappear(where is a text Connection status: disconnected)

[prjkt.io] aleandroid:

[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
But everytime I restart my phone I have to connect it to my laptop to get Andromeda active so I lose it
[prjkt.io] thedr34m13:
Andromeda shows that debugging is disabled, even though it isn't,and it shows up in adb. When I try to connect with root, it FCs. I'm running Nitrogen OS Mod with sysserv.
[prjkt.io] testreaper:
In version 992, build & enable options are disabled in my s8... Doesnt seem to be the case on older versions.

I just downloaded andromeda and substratum and i am facing a ton of compatibility problems. Any help would be apreciated.

Edit: nvm, figured it out. Sungstromeda Mode had to be unchecked in order to work. This may get confusing though to new users.
[prjkt.io] Ferbee:
Do you think that we would be able to add the functionality of bypassing the reboot using root (I understand this is mainly for no -root users, but it does already have some root functionality built in) that would be a cool addition if possible
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
So I'm guessing you haven't figured it out then?

Hmm, So I cant seem to get andromeda to work at all. Adb devices shows my device. Adb commands work... But andromeda insists that I do not have either andromeda or substratum installed.... I dont get it at all.

I just got a replacement phone and just smart switched today. Is that what is causing my issues? Ive uninstalled sub and andromeda multiple times but it just fails to work. Its told me a few times that something isnt valid, but I have bought everything.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
One of two things possible

1. Playstore validation error "it doesn't know you bought it"

2. Pirate apps detected on the system "doesn't sound like your issue as you had it working before"

My suggestion

Uninstall both

Reboot

Install both again
[prjkt.io] Sid32:
So I bought Andromeda on the Play store a while back when it was on sale and now I have buy it again? Anyone else with this issue?

Edit: Fix? So I can install it from the web version of the Play Store and now my other phones sees that its in my library. Weird bug and fix.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
That's been a long time issue with playstore, it's not syncing with online so online playstore is the only fix until your phone one catches up.
[prjkt.io] :
It is working but after every reboot, andromeda doesn't work without connecting to a pc. Is if a problem in my phone (note 8) or is it standard to everyone.

After updating an app, i have to install phone to pc every time to make andromeda work?

Thanks,
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Yes that's normal for rootless to work. If you can root no need to reboot or use Andromeda.
[prjkt.io] zomgalama:
Andromeda seems to not detect debugging on my device; USB debugging is on and I can use adb commands; but andromeda keeps saying "Connection status DEBUGGING DISABLED" I've read around with other people having this problem but couldn't find any answers.

LGv30 running AOSP Extended 8.1.0

Edit:

Apparently andromeda still works and is connected to substratum no problem; not sure if its the rom or running the script even though andromeda doesn't say connected/disconnected (Still says debugging disabled).

[prjkt.io] thippu46:
That might be just a charging cable!

For an actual data transfer on USB there needs to be 4 paths ( wires) +,-,D+ and D-

If you've any doubts dissect the wire, analyse it (check for the no. of wires) and request for the refund from the supplier if you can't find 4 . I have faced this type of problem once.!

HELP please the windows .bat 3.4 andromeda client failing

I have a galaxy 9 running android 8.0.0

my laptop is win7ultimate.

I downloaded the andromeda v3.4 windows client and unzipped.

I downloaded andromeda (v22) from the playstore and paid for substratum

both are installed OK

the S9 is is usb debugging mode

I follow the instructions to run andromeda on S9 OK... red screen

I connect S9 to laptop via USB cable.. I allow data to pass between both devices

I've run the andromeda windows bat client over and over and it FAILS every time

EVERY TIME

the batch file loads the adm server then fails and immediately closes the command prompt screen so I can't even see what is failing.

I've rebooted my cellphone and laptop over and over....no change

can someone help me get this working....

I'm not even at the point of changing themes....

PLEASE HELP, thanks
[prjkt.io] Sami Jildeh:
First you can edit the bat file and add "pause" word without "" at the end of it to prevent it from closing and read the error.

Then from the error see what you can do.

Try to open CMD in the same folder that has adb in it and type adb devices and if you get output it is a good sign.

by the way, you mean you downloaded substratum and paid for andromeda , right?
