so.. i got this working with andromeda in my note 8.

tried a few overlays, always disabling old ones and always telecting the slider, not tuning anything.

currently my system ui is dead, no nav bar or anything, besides apps edge.

Any chance to disable or remove overlays / substratum with adb?

Clearly it is working if everybody else on the thread is reporting back positively. You have offered barely any information to help you with, and have shown little patience either before descending to defaming accusations, I'm afraid that doesn't help anybody's willingness to assist you.

That being said, please provide the following information so we can try understanding your problem

- Are you on a custom ROM

- What is the security patch level of your ROM

- Are you using the java client, or the scripts and what is your PC's OS

After I press the andromeda icon it pops up saying connected, I press the gear icon and it does nothing. The popup only stays for a second before closing.

I would be more than happy to make a donation to the developer to make it work with LP. Any further help would be great.

Yes it's okay, you're not rooting just running the desktop client. Does not void your warranty in any way.

i seem to be having some issues getting the functionality of the andromeda android client to work. here's the important bits:

device - stock pixel 2 xl

android version - 8.1.0

rooted - no

developer mode enabled - yes

usb debugging enabled - yes

andromedia version (android) - 21

andromedia client - AndromedaClient-Universal-2.0.jar

java version - Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10)

i don't have any issues with connecting my device and it being found by adb/andromeda, that's all good. when i initiate the andromeda service from the java gui, i see the following in my terminal:

sh: /data/data/projekt.andromeda/files/start_andromeda_desktop.sh: Permission denied

the idea is that i should be able to do all this without elevated permissions, right? ;) please let me know what more i can provide to help troubleshoot this, i'm keen to get this working now that i've paid for it. cheers folks.

[prjkt.io] 78apb:
100% you have the issue with RKN's IP blocking. Dont forget to reset your connection while turning VPN on, because of google services need to be force-reconnected.

Нужно только как-то сбросить соединение, потому что всякие проверки лицензий через сервисы гугла, а они "залипают". Через самолёт перейти к включению vpn, что ли, я нуб, короче.

NordVPN бесплатно работает семь дней с оформленной подпиской, от которой надо успеть отказаться, или же если пройти регистрацию до подписки и отказаться в самый последний момент, они предложат "стой, не уходи, только за имейл твой дадим три дня уаще бесплатно-бесплатно и без подписок". Мне их сервис понравился, вот теперь сижу, думаю. На работу пришёл, гугл плей открывается, а список обновлений на мои приложения - бесконечная загрузка. Пока не передёрнул через самолёт, включение Норд VPN на Финляндию не помогало. Потом всё заработало.

If you are using Linux as your desktop client, try editting start_andromeda.sh. Where it says "adb" at the start of lines 16, 17 and 52 (around line 52, can't remember exactly), if you replace "adb" with "./adb" it may work. At least it did for me.

Also make sure you have made the file "adb" executable.

Sorry, if I ask a duplicate question.... I am gonna receive Oreo update on my device after some time.

So, doing this process, will it enable substratum in Legacy mode(Basic theming) OR OMS mode(Full support to Android System and SystemUI)?

Also, what would be better? To Root OR to use Andromeda?

[prjkt.io] chopoLet:
Same thing happened to me
[prjkt.io] :
With the March security patch it really puts Andromeda users at a big disadvantage. Before, you could use your PC to get Andromeda connected, set up your overlays how you like them, and then you could reboot as much as you want, because your overlays are all set up.

Now, we need to use PC for Andromeda connection, choose an overlay, then reboot to apply them, and connect Andromeda again, and then go into substratum to enable them.

If we don't want to do every overlay at once to check for compatibility, then we have to reboot, and then connect Andromeda via PC again, and then enable. Over and over.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Blame Google
[prjkt.io] tracerit:
but once applied, can you reboot as many times without the overlay resetting?
[prjkt.io] _Sofos_:
This^

You'll need your pc while testing, cause of the build & enable process every time, but after you decide which overlays will be used you're good to go without the need to enable them after each reboot. Seems good to me instead of no theming at all? It's a small price to pay.

I've got a quick question tho (I guess it's already answered but still..), is it possible to have a Samsung Theme enabled (theme store) and an overlay that has to do with a system app like navigation bar?

Or since I cannot force close it it's not possible?

Thank you in advance.

So I installed both apps, enabled USB debugging and ran the script while my phone was connected.

Yet it doesn't connect in the Andromeda app, what can I possibly do wrong?

[prjkt.io] _Sofos_:
Hmm, could you please explain how? I mean the order you're doing it?

Because for me it works only with the stock theme, otherwise it shows theme's navigation bar..

Did you try running the adb executable file included in the folder first? Did you c/p it in C: and run it with administration rights just in case?
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
Easy get your Samsung theme from store that you want to apply it, then go into Substratum hit manager disable all overlayers and enable the overlayers back now it should be themed with the theme you applied first.
