I thought I had done that. I will try again.

Edit: Same error. I also did that with the adb file just to be safe.
[prjkt.io] Kreuger:
I also tried the Java client but it says it requires version 53 and mine only supports 52? I triwd upgrading my Java version and now have have openjdk-11 which is the latest in ubuntu.

Edit: I ended up borrowing a Windows laptop to do it. You may want to add that you should launch Andromeda on your phone before executing the file on your computer otherwise it won't work.
[prjkt.io] Kreuger:
When I rebooted my phone, nothing that I had enabled any overlays for still had them. Am I not understanding correctly? I thought I would only have to use the client when updating apps.

I got this message when I open the app. :crying::crying::crying:

What should I do?

Cool, working :) Thanks m8!

I've got my self substratum version 992 before reading your post. But it didn't solve the issue. Reinstalled andromeda after reading your post and everything is working again. But I guess, I'll not update substratum to 1000 because I'm afraid it will break again. So it's probably better to wait for a substratum update with a fix.

I'm planning to try rebooting substratum in the morning either way, but for now I'm just curious about what may have caused the crash. I figure any news might come in useful for future references.
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:

You have a theme applied? If so it's causing this. Hit rescue me long pressing the app icon and it will disable the theme.

Play store crashes

I’ve uninstalled both substratum and andromedia, rebooted in-between each.

Now when I try to re install them the play store crashes.

I ran the help me/restore short cut twice play store is still themed

Edit: I ran the rescue.zip fixed it !

Hi
[prjkt.io] Achilles Etimone:
Since the Playstore crashes, usually while Substratum is active on it, and I cannot get the Andromeda Client Script to work (it just rushes thru and I cannot find a error message) / (while USB debugging definitely works). Tried to reboot.

Attempt to reinstall Andromeda ends at the crashing Playstore.

And in Fdroid I cannot find Andromeda.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You buy Andromeda?
[prjkt.io] Achilles Etimone:
locked out of substratum

To communicate more clear what happend:

1. I bought Andromeda

2. Sometimes after updates of theme PitchBlack the playstore (or does the playstore update itself?in gerneral i shut off the auto update) crashes at the point i want to install an app. This time updates seem to work, but crashes on new installs

3. So I tried to deactivate the PlayStore theming - USB Debugging activated I couldn't get the script on my pc running (it just closes the cmd batch window without leaving me any info on what does or not work)

4. deinstalled Andromeda and then learned updates work, installs don't - left with no andromeda nor substratum control

5. searching for alternatives. by now i see myself installing lineageOS in a couple of day as an more interesting alternative to fully resetting my moto Z to get the play store (and my system) running

6. do you guys see a more simple alternative?
[prjkt.io] cammykool:
I've been struggling with the Java applet. It doesn't seem to want to see my phone. Adb devices shows the phone. The andromedia app on my phone shows as connected after running the batch script.but the Java app doesn't see it at all.

Galaxy S8/Oreo/latest Andromeda from play

Samsung USB drivers are installed on the PC and it is running 10pro
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Playstore updating itself can't be avoided. If you have root you can flash rescue zips to turn off theme overlays or TWRP file manager to delete them or use adb to disable or uninstall them. No need to mess with subs or Andromeda if only playstore breaks. Just rebuild overlay and enable.

But that shouldn't break verification only bad connection to playstore services wich should still work even if playstore is broken from theme overlay.

You have validation errors? That's another issue if so.

Use the script instead of the java app. Script has better success. Make sure extract zip...then connect phone to pc then run. It will close itself. Then open Substratum...no need to even open Andromeda app.
[prjkt.io] cammykool:
Ahh okay. I thought you had to run one after the other! That's my bad. Just run Substratum and apply the theme while plugged in?

it wants meto reboot to apply it. i do and rerun the script and everything is disabled again.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Connect phone to pc and unlock to homescreen

Run script

Can disconnect phone now

Open Substratum

Build theme will turn pink usually

Reboot and do pc stuff again

Once open subs again enable overlays

If errors on building hit send so theme dev gets logs not here. Theme needs updating or you need different version of app your trying to build overlay for.

Note: if you reboot phone it will need to be connected to pc again and script ran but themes will survive reboot.

Hope that clears things up.

[prjkt.io] Cyclops1055:
I had an issue getting it to work with my Note 9, here's what I did:

Step 1: I updated my laptop with the latest version of Java (I believe it's version 10) I was then able to run the lastest jar (version 2.0)

Step 2: Connect adb and make sure my laptop can see my device

Step 3: I found that I had to run the script 2 times (run once and wait for it to finish and the window closes, then run the script again)

Step 4: I launched the jar file, when it opened, it said the service was running

Step 5: Opened Substratum on my phone and it works

Hope this helps
[prjkt.io] Yotoprules:
It was because my ADB drivers weren't installed. I had to manually install them and now it works.

But when I build and enable a theme, it asks me to reboot, i do, then i run the script again and enable the theme, and nothing happens.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Build and update overlays, then reboot. Hook up to PC and verify again Andromeda. Then go to manager tab in subs and enable them.

Doing a quick search of my phone storage it reveals no folder by name of lucky patcher.

Is it a different name? /Root?

Have a quick question. My T-Mobile Note 8 had a security update yesterday, I went to manager and uninstalled all my overlays, took the update and then started installing the overlays. For about an hour each overlay would take about 4 minutes to install and then after an hour or so they would be back to normal, zip ,zip , zip. Happened last month after the security update too. Not really a problem - just wondering whats going on.

I am using an android phone which is running on android oreo 8.1 and the security patch is updated up to August of this year 2018..

Is it true?
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
After the March update and with Oreo / Android 8 it is a two step process with rebooting in between, that sequence is posted here many times. Works fine with all updates to Oreo.

The Pie / Android 9 update can only be themed with Substratum if you are rooted.

LG Q Stylo + loses themes on reboot

Hi all,

I am using Andromeda (purchased from Play Store) on the LG Stylo + (Canadian Stylo 4 version) running Android 8.1 Oreo. I follow the install directions and end up with a nicely themed phone. (at least the apps, the settings I need to theme another way on LG). But on reboot all themes are lost and I need to connect to the computer again to go through the process. Which obviously renders it useless for me. Is this a known issue?

Cheers,

Rob
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Using LG theme system will disable Substratum on reboot. Apply subs last...Don't reboot. Fixed! Lol
[prjkt.io] grepp0r:
Heh, will that is obviously not really practical. How can I get a refund on Andromeda past the normal Google Play deadline? I didn't see anything about LG problems when I purchased Andromeda.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You can get refund within 48 hours on web playstore. Nothing wrong with Andromeda bro. You just have a phone no one created themes for. Still the Substratum theme system works fine without the other system..same goes for Samsung and other theme systems using OMS. Many users have been using both systems without reboot to keep them both working. Not sure why you can't. Anyways go to online playstore and refund. The devs won't refund if it's working fine and it is!
[prjkt.io] grepp0r:
Okay, thanks.
[prjkt.io] thecappadonna:

Hi everyone, I'm new here.

I have a little problem with substratum and andromeda. In fact I used it on my Oneplus 5T but recently I wanted to update my apps and phone. So I tried to connect to substratum but I can't anymore. I enabled debugging on my phone, I connected it with my windows computer and started andromeda, but it doesnt work. So I uninstalled all my overlays with offline mode, I deleted and redownloaded andromeda and substratum. But it still doesn't work.

I'm on windows 8, my Oneplus 5t is on Android Oreo 8.1.0 and oxygenOS 5.1.4.

Thank you.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Doesn't work.....that really doesn't give us enough to help. What errors are you seeing? Are you running stock oxygen os or custom Rom? More details to the issue the better we can help. Screenshots if possible.

Sure. On my computer I click on start Andromeda, I press a Key, a black pop up appears on which is written "daemon started succesfully" and then I have different errors : https://imgur.com/Oc2nPed

And on my phone, the connection status is "disconnected" and red.

I am on the classic Oneplus Rom (Android 8.1.0 and Oxygen OS 5.1.5). And my computer is on Windows 8. And I downloaded Andomeda here https://xdaforums.com/apps/substratum/andromeda-desktop-clients-release-notes-t3668682 (Windows batch script).

[prjkt.io] Orch4rd:
Are you sure? If you're already rooted isn't it also important to get Andromeda, so that the overlays won't lag while using Substratum, as noted in the Substratum app.

---------- Post added at 06:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------

It is also stated in the Substratum app that even for rooted devices, that Substratum alone has overlay lag and performance issues, however, installing Andromeda will solve those issues.
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
If you want to use andromeda while rooted, go right ahead. I just like not being tied to the umbilical cord in order to theme my device. If that causes me a little lag while when building, or using substratum....whoop-di-do ??

Well with root and Andromeda you don't need pc at all so win win.

It's not just "a little lag" but an unbearable one, at least for me and using andromeda actually rid the lag completely.
