Good morning, any one that have installed Andromeda on mate 9 or another Huawei with Oreo, which themes has on it?
[prjkt.io] Guihardrock:
yeah thats exactly my problem I can connect the device through wifi without problem but when I run the client the device is not recognized anymore till I close the client and start the connection again.

I hope to see Andromeda running wirelessly cause is a pain in the a** to connect the cable every time we want to theme something, I am rooted so I can do it but I had so many errors with oxygen os themes before using Andromeda.
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
I've been trying to do the same thing. What I know is that Andromeda has its own version of adb in the same directory. When you start the adb connect you call the installed version, then you start Andromeda and call a second adb version. Therein lies the problem.

I've tried altering the script to call my installed adb and remove the Andromeda version, then run adb connect via wifi and then start Andromeda, but no luck yet. Unfortunately, scripting is my biggest weakness with Android and my own Linux machines.
[prjkt.io] zippy01:
It's also running on port 5037 I tried to add 5555 port to the sh file but as yourself scripting isn't my strong point either. I also tried to connect wifi to port 5037

Nokia 8

Does it work on Nokia 8? I run it on my phone once before, but it crashed and I forced to restore my device on factory setting, I try it once more but andromeda is not support the substratum...so does it work?
[prjkt.io] brando56894:
Works perfectly on my Pixel 2 XL! I've rooted every phone that I've had since the OG Droid and it became less of a needful thing and more of a habit. Eventually with my Nexus 6, the only reason that I rooted was for theming and adblock if I remembered to install it, ROMs were more of an afterthought. When I got the XL 2 I thought "lets see how long I can keep this stock, unrooted for" and after about a week the curiosity got to me and I checked the Pixel 2 section here, only to find it lacking (this phone doesn't really need anything, maybe a custom kernel to unlock some stuff but that's about it). The only thing that annoyed me was the constantly dark and light clash, but now that I got Andromeda to work (had ADB auth errors for a while) and Pitch Black installed, everything is perfect! Good job.
[prjkt.io] SherlockUnchained:
Is changing the QS icons color not possible?
[prjkt.io] RED ZMAN:
Pretty much the same here, but I'm running a mix of Pitch Black and Swift Dark (for Allo and a few others), and Amazed Navbars.

As Android grew over the past few years I really needed it only for themes, adblocking, and backups in the end (not really needed on stock), but that was fixed by AdGuard (no root needed for full device adblocking), and Andromeda/Substratum.

Amazing. I've rooted everything since my T-Mobile G1, but this device hasn't needed anything. Now with the latest monthly patch, it's very stable on my end, with almost 300 apps installed.
[prjkt.io] napes22:
I've run into a weird error on my recent ROM install. I'm not rooted and using the andromeda substratum method.

However Andromeda constantly thinks that USB Debugging is disabled, despite it being enabled, and if I disconnect from my PC, I lose connection to substratum. I also get theme errors when applying, which is something that is new for me. Anyone know how to fix this?

Oneplus 5, Codename Phoenix 8.1 ROM, Not Rooted
[prjkt.io] madhouze:
I tried installing substratum/andromeda on my Oreo S8+, and apparently I did something really bad.

I am now stuck with a crashign system UI and cannot use the phone.

I tried uninstalling both stratum and andromeda using ADB, but that obviously did nothing.

I was able re-install them from play store, but still cannot use my phone.

Am I SOL or is there any recourse other than factory reset?
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
You need to adb and remove the overlayer from Substratum what ever overlayer you applied.
[prjkt.io] madhouze:
Thanks to the good guys on telegram, I found that I need to use the following adb commands to remove the overlays:

1. adb shell cmd overlay list

2. all overlays with [x] in the front are enabled.

3. adb shell cmd overlay disable <package name from the list>
[prjkt.io] LRichter:
Desktop Andromeda closes as soon as I "press any key to continue"

Using a Nexus 5x phone. I'm trying to open my PC Windows 10 desktop Andromeda on my computer, but each time I get to the initial screen that says

Andromeda Start Script by [projekt.] development team

This requires Andromeda and Substratum installed on the device

Make sure the device is connected and ADB option enabled

Please only have one device connected at a time to use this!

Press any key to continue . . .​

And then, as soon as I press any key to continue, the Andromeda window simply vanishes and nothing happens. (My USB is connected to my phone, the USB is set to file transfer, and "USB debugging" is enabled. Substratum on my phone keeps saying the connection status is "Disconnected." Not sure what to do. Any thoughts?
[prjkt.io] zjjpp:
this is really nice :) purchased it about a week ago and i love it. sometimes its a bit finicky, i just had to reboot it 2 times before it would work so i could update a theme.

And im using Nokia 6 I've also tried but nothing happens
[prjkt.io] newcdn:
Were you able to get it to work? I have the same phone and having problems also
[prjkt.io] thgm21:
Apparently its something to do with nokia 5 and 6, someone said that his nokia 8 is working. I can offer my help for devs and testing purposes if they feel like fixing it.
[prjkt.io] Ansem:
Hi everyone. I have a Sony XZ1 with Android Oreo. Do I need to keep my costantly connected to my computer to use subtratum? Or can I launch the script once and then disconnect my phone?
[prjkt.io] zippy01:
While your changing themes you do although the script says you can disconnect. Once you changed layers you can remove the usb
[prjkt.io] Ansem:
The problem is that if I open substratum I can't even search for themes since I get a gray screen telling me to Che the Andromeda state :( so I can't even look for themes
[prjkt.io] Jiggs82:
Curious to know when will fonts be made available? Thanks in advance
[prjkt.io] zippy01:
Are you using the original cable or an adapter?

Me to +1
[prjkt.io] Ansem:
I tried with two different PCs, with the original cable and an other one.

When I connect my XZ1 to my PC if I open Andromeda it will say that the device is disconnected. I tried to select only charge, transfer file and MIDI, it always say that.

Then I run the script on my computer (not as administrator) and the black screen telling me to enable Andromeda disappear, but the istant when I disconnect my phone from pc it reappaer the black windows on substratum, so I can't even search for new themes :(
[prjkt.io] zippy01:
Might be a stupid answer and may not work try turning the cable round and running the script again.

Other than that could it be a driver problem I use Linux and it connects fine.
[prjkt.io] nanodan:
I was under the impression that the Andromeda service would run until you reboot your device?

For me, I connect my phone and run the batch file, device says Andromeda is active and I can use themes, but as soon as I unplug my device, substratum tells me I need to activate the Andromeda service.

Am I wrong?

(OP5 Codename Phoenix (NOS) )

Edit: read faq, sounds like it might be a ROM thing. Lame.
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
yes
[prjkt.io] nanodan:
Wow. Thank you for your insightful comment, "recognized contributor"
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, it only works with the computer connected.

The necessary commands only work when the ./startAmdromeda script runs.

Sorry you did not appreciate my Saturday morning humor. :cowboy: :cyclops: :angel:
[prjkt.io] nanodan:
Alright, good enough. I can deal. Thanks.

Also, those kind of responses are a little exasperating these days. It's getting increasingly hard to find useful information here at XDA.
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
I agree +1000%, mostly due to the lack of good info provided, just pleas for help.

The desktop andromeda doesn't seem to be working for me. I have Samsung s8+ Oreo beta and Widows 10 64bit. I installed both substratum and andromeda from play store and downloaded the java client for desktop. I have enabled debugging mode on my phone and my computer sees it in adb. But when I launch the java andromeda and plug my phone in it always says "Please connect a device before continuing". The batch file method doesn't work either
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
Put the adb files inside the andromeda folder and try again.

Any chance there could be a "root" mode that starts the service in the background for people with root that can't/won't edit /system and related partitions?
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
I don't know what type of device you have, but on my P2XL, after I rooted it, I uninstalled substratum and Andromeda. Rebooted, installed substratum again, granted it root, and it works great. Don't know if that helps you or not though.
[prjkt.io] gudenau:
Does it still pass SafetyNet?
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
Yup ?
[prjkt.io] gudenau:
I'll have to give that a shot!

That's working, thanks for the tip!
[prjkt.io] DeadlyToast:
Could somebody explain why would a rooted user use this? What are the benefits and what are the drawbacks? It would be nice if you included some kind of description in the OP.
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
You do not need it if rooted, this is used by non-root users.

From the OP:
[prjkt.io] DroidFanJL:
The requirements say Android Oreo and "unrooted". This is not necessary if someone is rooted and I see it only as an inconvenience if you are rooted. It is wonderful if your device can't be rooted like my S8.
[prjkt.io] DeadlyToast:
I did notice the requirements and I assumed it's for those without root but why is there a Magisk module to activate it without PC and why are there users who are using it with root? Is there a benefit to it over the root method?
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
You would have to ask that module developer, I have no idea since I do not use it. My P2XL is unrooted and I use Andromeda / Substratum via my Linux box.

I test Magisk on my Nexus 6 where Substratum works since it is custom ROM with OMS and all commits included in the build process and it is rooted.
[prjkt.io] :
Doesnt work
[prjkt.io] zippy01:
What operating system you using?
[prjkt.io] RED ZMAN:

Did you buy Andromeda or did you sideload the APK from somewhere?
[prjkt.io] PhreighnQ:
Is there a way to run the desktop script from a second phone connected via otg? I usually have a second phone with me, and that one is rooted. It would be nice to be able to get Andromeda working again if I need to restart my phone while away from my computer.

There's a script you can run in terminal on android, a Google search should lead you in the right direction. Super useful as you never need to plug in to a computer.

Don't know how to solve this, any idea guys ?

Hi

I tested Andromeda on a Galaxy S7 and it worked perfectly for me, but I just tried with a Zenfone 3 ZE552KL on Android 8.0.0, 1st December 2017 patch, and it didn't work.

The PC companion app didn't recognize my phone, the .bat method didn't work, neither the Java one.

Is there any way to fix this?

I tried reinstalling the adb client too and it recognizes the phone with the Java method, but it says that Andromeda is not properly installed.

Does this still have issues with Windows 7? the last success spreadsheet said not working with win 7. Also i assume we cant do anything here till the Substratum app is updated, and the java client is out right

This is awesome because I love Substratum but I downloaded the Windows tool and the latest version of the app on the play store (which is 823 and there is no mention of 839 anywhere) and it doesn't do anything when I run it on my device. I have a Google Pixel running on Android O. It shows a bunch of lines of text on the Andromeda tool which I assume means it does what has too but still nothing happens. I open the app and I get the screen that says I am unrooted and won't run, but when I have the app open and run the Andromeda tool Substratum just closes.

Best to use a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 3.0 or USB-C port (so use a USB A-C cable). Make sure the USB cable is a data cable (some are only wired for charging and not data).

Find a Substratum developer or a theme developer who has an Asus phone. The other option is to get one of the developers an Asus phone to use for building and troubleshooting. It is extremely difficult to impossible for apps to be developed to support hardware that the developers do not have to test.

If I install or uninstall a theme that I use, do not I have to restart my phone?
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
Depends on the theme, some require/suggest you do, others do not, that is up to the themer. Check the instructions in the theme opening when you select it in Substratum or see the Play Store information when you install / update from the Play Store. Every theme I use states whether to restart after installation is required / recommended. If not required after install, it is then recommended to reboot the phone to solve issues that arise.

TL;DR read the themer instructions they give.
[prjkt.io] jcosta_ks34:
This is my very first experience with Substratum and it's really cool. Is it possible to work with more than one theme at the same time? Ethereal is working really good on my Essential PH-1 but WhatsApp is not working properly. Pitch black is fantastic too with lots of customization but has some bugs with calendar and weather apps using the rootless pixel launcher 3.1. Will give a try at Swift Black and Swift Dark.
