Just wanted to comment and say that this is an amazing utility. I've only been rooting phones these past few years for Substratum theming (and sometimes debloating), but with this tool, the pesky steps of OEM unlocking, flashing recovery, flashing a kernel, flashing new firmware, and then applying root, are no longer needed for me. What usually takes me a few days of trial and error (based on the difficulty of the device) was cut down to a few minutes. Awesome work [MENTION=3605033]nicholaschum[/MENTION] this is one of the most underrated tools on XDA. Well worth the price. :good:

Right, ive bumped into a problem I can't overcome, on step 3, when I open Andromeda app, cmd runs after pressing any key and then shuts down, the client never opens.

I tried running it through DT virtual image, but then shows "incompatible with 64x op".

Does my phone need to be connected before running Andromeda, or should it start anyways?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
1. Use the windows script it's better

2 Connect device to pc. Open substratum not Andromeda. Really never need to open andromeda unless told by devs.

3. Run the script and substratum should close

4. You can disconnect to pc

5.Open substratum and apply theme

If you reboot phone you'll need to repeat process.

Read FAQ so you can get better understanding

[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You have to grant adb permissions when it popup on your phone. Go to dev options and hit revoke usb debugging authorizations and run the script again. This time watch your phone and hit accept always then it should be fixed.

Andromeda for Substratum on Windows 10

I also had trouble at first, and I know that I had my device drivers and adb installed. What finally worked for me was downloading platform tools for windows (r28.0.1) and placing it in the same folder where I had the Andromeda Launcher. Once I did that it found my device and ran fine for me with no errors.

You would need a theme that says works for your device. I've never even heard of vivo. So only 3rd party overlays are safe to use. Unless you know they gave you pure Android like pixel. Then you're good.

Also you gave not enough info. What Android version you on and what theme you trying?

Hi, I'm interested to buy Andromeda. I have LG G7+ (Oreo) and I want to change the font to Google Sans. As we know my phone bootloader, at least my version (G710EAW), can't be unlocked, let alone root.

I understand that I can't change the systemwide font with Andromeda, but it's possible with per-app basis changes. To be honest I don't understand how to do that, I've googled about this, searched on Youtube, but I can't find the answer.

Can you give me a video, or a simple walkthrough on how to change the font per-app? Thanks in advance

I cannot install andromeda anymore.. google play store has stopped.

good day. i've been using substratum / andromeda for a long time i'm using it to install Swift black theme. last night i was trying to uninstall apps that i don't use and i forgot that andromeda is used for my substratum theme. i tried to install it again as i have purchased andromeda. but google play is force closing all the time.. i even tried installing it using google play on my pc web browser but it is also unsuccessful :( tried other apps to install and they will install. how can i bring back andromeda on my phone? i'm screwed because if some apps will update, i can't update my swift black theme because i can't open substratum without andromeda and if that happens apps that are used with swift black will also forced closed.. please help me.

Step 3 - Load up the Andromeda Desktop Client or Script!

Enable "USB debugging" on your device

Install systemwide ADB drivers on your PC

Connect your device to your PC

Download the desktop client ZIP archive from the link below

Extract the downloaded archive file and open the extracted app

Select your device

Click Start Server

Wait for the process to finish, then you can disconnect your device from your PC

You will need to do the instructions above every time you reboot your device.

[/QUOTE]

Where is the link to Zip Archive for Windows
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Use adb to disable playstore overlay

Extract the zip I uploaded.

Hold shift then right click in the adb folder and select open command here.

Type this:

1. adb shell cmd overlay list

2. adb shell cmd overlay disable <package.theme.options.androidversion> example android.Sprite.BlackNotifyBGAccentTextBlueBerry.SammySungOreo name from the list

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

com.android.vending is play store. Once you disable the overlay play will open so you can install Andromeda. I would leave it installed.

Hello, can someone help me with an issue please - as of this week I cannot get Anromeda to enable at all?

I usually used to run the v3.4 bat script and it always worked, now it runs but Andromeda stays disconnected. I tried the v5.01 Java program as well and that one just constantly says no device connected. I have system wide ADB in place and can run 'adb devices' and see my phone listed but the Java program does not recognise it? My phone is an EU Honor 8x on Oreo.

This has always worked fine up to this point so I'm not sure why it has suddenly stopped? I have already tried uninstalling and re-installing Andromeda on the phone to no effect.

The andromeda install worked fine apparently since no error messages it's just down to the rom..
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
It does work on miui not sure what they mean, only thing you might have issues with is finding themes for your system. They have a very hard skin to theme but there is one here in Xda. You can also theme 3rd party apps without root so they were wrong to tell you it doesn't work at all because it runs on all Oreo. Pie will need root though because of Google blocking. But that's pie.

well they didn't say at all, just the ui and most overlays, but they did mention 3rd party apps, but i was looking to a whole coherent theme :/ they said miui os was making it very hard to theme, thanks for the theme i ll try it out :)

but if i end up flashing stuff i ll go to a pie rom root and the whole thing anyway, i asked for the unlock and have to wait a few days (or so they say ..)

edit :

I tried it it changes a few colors, the overlays don't stay active after the required reboot and the guy said it's more or less an abandoned project. i guess i ll try with a aosp rom then just to try and using it ..

Hi guys sorry to bother but right now I'm having an issue with trying to get the Andromeda Client working with my phone (Lg G6).

ADB does recognize and show that the G6 is connected, however, I'm not sure why the launcher isn't working.

Starting Andromeda (either version) from Linux

For anyone having issues with starting the app from the Linux pc, you may want to try the command:

adb shell << EOF
am force-stop projekt.substratum
kill -9 $(adb shell pidof andromeda) 2> /dev/null
appops set projekt.andromeda RUN_IN_BACKGROUND allow
appops set projekt.substratum RUN_IN_BACKGROUND allow
CLASSPATH=$(adb shell pm path projekt.andromeda | grep "base.apk" | cut -d : -f 2 | sed s/\\r//g) app_process /system/bin --nice-name=andromeda projekt.andromeda.Andromeda &
echo "You can now remove your device from the computer!"
exit
EOF

It's essentially the same what the original Linux script does, streamlined and bullet-proofed a bit more.

Two notes on the side from me:

Check if the mobile has been discovered using:

adb devices -l

Linux doesn't look for commands in the same directory, only in directories contained in the PATH variable. You will need to use e.g. ./adb instead. The command to be used needs execute rights though and you can do make it so by running in the same directory:

chmod u+x adb

Just wanted to say I've got an unrooted Pixel with Oreo, and Andromeda/Substratum are working just fine. But I can also confirm that it took a few attempts at installing themes before they worked properly (in my case, the Swift Dark & Black themes - the text in the notifications was invisible until the 3rd try or so). FWIW, using Win10 for Andromeda desktop. Great work guys.

[prjkt.io] speedingcheetah:
Works great on my Pixel XL. Though it did give a notification that the Andromada service isn't running after I applied the theme and disconnected from usb. I turned off notifications for that and disabled usb debug, seems fine so u dont need those apps running in the background after theme is applied.

Does the themes stick after a system OTA? Or would I have to use the desktop client and reapply?
