I downloaded both substratum annd paid for Andromeda also. But when I connected my phone to my lap and ran the Andromeda setup that was downloaded using the link given by you, a popup appeared saying "Unsupported version of the app detected, please install from the playstore."

What am I supposed to do in this case. My device is Oppo A5s/CPH1909 running Android Oreo . I had already got a refund from the playstore, but I strongly need this app to work so that I can theme my phone.

[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
That's a play store glitch, nothing devs can do here. Wait for Google to sync your purchase.
[prjkt.io] abhijithwrrr:
You mean to say that the message "Unsupported version of the app detected. Please download supported version from Google Play" comes because of the playstore glitch. Which means,I will be able to use in my device the next time I buy it?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Yes, it's been a bug a long time. But beware only get one refund.
[prjkt.io] abhijithwrrr:
So what should I do now? I got refund already! And how will I know that the glitch is taken care of.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Up to you, I just wanted to make sure you knew.

Not able to launch andromeda desktop client

Hey,

I have downloaded every files as per the guide, but Im not able to launch the andromeda desktop client. In the tutorial, they show some of the files to run but the link given in the forum has only one file and I cannot find any other files which are shown in the tutorial video. Moreover after running the application in PC, all I'm getting is the message which I'm going to give below. Someone please help me! This is the second time I'm purchasing the andromeda app from the store and I won't get refund this time. I really want this to run in my phone.. My device is Oppo A5s.

The message in the desktop client says this program cannot start as it is missing some files.

Hi,

I just came across this today and instantly wanted to get the dark mode for my phone, a samsung galaxy s9+. I followed the guide as closely as i can but nothing i do seems to be working. The problem I came across was the windows download for the andromeda client. I go to the link posted on the guide but the latest version which is 6.0.0 appernly has no mirrors when i click download. So i tried some of the previous versions like 5.1 and even 3.4. When i used 5.1 and launched the launcher, it wouldn't detect my phone for some reason. When i used 3.4, i got to the part where the adb portion of the program runs and i just click any key to proceed. According to a video i watched, that should have done it and the app on my phone should have been connected but nothing happened. I have no idea what to do next. As far as i can tell, i've done everything else correctly. I have both the andromeda app and the substratum app downloaded on my phone. I installed systemwide ADB drivers on my PC. The USB debugging feature is enabled on my phone as well. I would appreciate any kind of help. Thank You!
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
S9+? You have Pie or Q?

Pie you can't use client, turn on sungstromeda in substratum settings and just build each overlay and install them with package installer then reboot to enable them on first install.

Q needs synergy because pie method was blocked by Samsung. Synergy needs Substratum Lite and synergy from Google play. Go to the telegram for easy help.

Hope that helps

DJ

Screenshot my S9+ on Q with unreleased SpriteOneUI using Synergy. Works great without root on Samsung!
[prjkt.io] Ginkash:
Thanks a bunch! That definitely helped. I didn't know that it doesn't work with newer versions of android. I have Q so i guess i'll be doing it with synergy. I ended up looking up a video and i think i found a decent one that explains it pretty well. But out of curiosity, what do you mean by go to the telegram for easy help? Im new to this website so wasn't sure if that's a feature here or maybe something else entirely?

Thank You!

Clear andromeda data add reboot it needs to bind with substratum.

Also this is for huawei:

1. Connect the usb cable

2. Go to developer settings, enable usb debugging and usb debugging in charging mode

3. Open Andromeda to see if it gets connected.

4. Run the script.

5. If it says connected, unplug the cable, Andromeda should stay connected now.

---Use Translator---

Well....The method is written in the discription. Also depends if your phone is rooted or not.

IF not rooted. Download Andromeda app in phone (Paid), then download the file in links which is for Computer or Mac . Connect your phone through usb cable and open Andromeda app. Launch the Downloaded application on computer and you are done.

We traded in our Galaxy S7 (AT&T) phones for Galaxy S22 (AT&T) phones (256 GB model). provided I follow the guide to use substratum to the letter, will it have any troubles with my Galaxy S22 on Android Version 12 (its what the software info says), or will substratum not work with mine without root?
[prjkt.io] Kamalesh Kv:
The permissions are granted and substratum theming works fine. But once a theme is set the andromeda and substratum lose the permissions and again prompting to connect with desktop client.

Sometimes as soon as I disconnect from pc it loses the permissions and again prompting to connect with desktop client.

[prjkt.io] tluley51:
The install instructions say

This is actually wrong, the only executable in the ZIP is "adb.exe". You need to start the batch file, "start_andromeda.bat". I am skimming through the thread and many people are reporting "the script seems to run and just go away", that is because they are actually following the directions and running the "adb.exe" which is incorrect.

Just an FYI.

Been running this on my Pixel XL with (almost) no issues, but does anyone know what part of a theme "system updates" falls under? I'm using mostly the Swift Black theme and no matter what parts I theme (System UI, Settings app, Android System, etc), when I go into Settings (which is themed fine) and go to check if I have a software update, that update screen is solid white background with white text so I can't see anything it says. I've tried a few other themes other than Swift Black and can't seem to even get the system updates screen back to normal with no theme at all. I'd prefer not to have to uninstall all my themes and start from scratch. Screenshots attached. thanks!

Thank you. This worked perfectly. As did the theming. Wonderful job.

My only issues are twofold and small:

1.) Even after reboot, I keep getting notifications that Substratum and Andromeda are not connected and that Substratum is running the in background. A force quit resolves this, but eventually there should be a fix.

2.) This is Swift's fault, but the available overlays for WhatsApp and Instagram are out of date compared to the versions I have. I don't remember the app overlays being so app version specific, but they don't work I guess b/c the overlays are for an older version.

Thanks for all the hard word. Happy customer here!
