Thanks for all your hard work doing this. If people are having trouble getting things to apply, they can also 1. try overlaying different themes (found this to be good to get white text for swift dark notifications, I just for-went the entire theme and mixed it with another swift one. 2. probably more appliable, if things are not sticking/applying after a reboot try going into substratum again after you run the script on your computer, and a. go into overlay list, then b. toggle your overlays and apply there.

Between switf black and swift dark I have a usable theme with white text in all the right places (notification shade/toggles eg [plus colour accent there]) and notifcations (with accent and text)

Im supposing once further bugs are ironed out, and probably those steps are not even needed for many/any/maybe but it will be a brilliant app if its not already.

Glad I went ahead and got it. But yeh, try anything too haha. thanks

edit: specifically, I wanted a pitch-black notifcation shade, but a very dark/almost black notifcation squares below, because I like the contrast and think its more legible (for the record I like the white theme and what it does but not the white itself, but the white is an improvement over the dark grey former).... so wanting that, i did swift dark for everything, then swift black for the top bit.

The trouble is working out which overlay does what lol. smh

edit 2: depending how you go about it, your theme can work first time, or 3rd try, I think none of us are used to doing it just yet in this method.
[prjkt.io] BossNexusS:
every since theme i have tried to install i have gotten a crash after substratum tries to enable the theme and nothing works. i have tried swift, compound, balticui and many more.. even ones that poeple say are working for them.. nothing works for me i keep getting a crash and nothing changes.
[prjkt.io] drdrewdown:
sounds like you're on a older version of substatum, please confirm which build you are running

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH wow thanks i didnt see that there was an update after the 841
[prjkt.io] KorbieKwan:
Hello there, just wanted to confirm Andromeda and Substratum are both working like a hot damn with Windows 7! I was just a little excited previously, was up early, and thought I would attempt a set-up. Desktop client is now playing nice with Windows 7. No antivirus issues what-so-ever. Installed my first theme (overlays) on my new pixel. Very excited! Thank you all SO much for your extremely hard work to make this awesome project a reality!!! You Rock!!! :D
[prjkt.io] MeerkattakreeM:
This isn't working on my Pixel. It's plugged into my MacBook with debugging and ADB enabled but when I run the desktop client, both Andromeda and Substratum do not report connection. The computer says they've binded, but Substratum constantly crashes.
[prjkt.io] the1dynasty:
sweet... i tried this before but it didn't seem to work... but uninstalling everything seemed to work...
[prjkt.io] steviemch:
Really impressed guys, working really well for a new release, in fact the only limitation is down to the themes I'm using themselves, which probably need nothing more than an update or two. I went stock for the first time in years a month ago and having this on my unrooted 6P is a big deal.

Excellent work!!
[prjkt.io] Hyoretsu:
Any disadvantages on using root over Substratum?
[prjkt.io] garylawwd:
You dont need to pay for andromeda if you have root. And also you dont need to connect to a pc. You just set the overlays in the substratum app and that's it really. Alot easier if ya ask me
[prjkt.io] Hyoretsu:
Wish this had just been noted instead of Andromeda rootless substratum for Android 8.0/8.1 being put everywhere
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
No need no but building overlays is faster with both root and Andromeda working together.

Only build speed of overlays...Andromeda is faster building. Root no need for pc to push files. Root does it so both together work better but root works without.

Rootless all explained there..no root needed why need more explanation?
[prjkt.io] Hyoretsu:
Was under the impression you could only use Substratum on Oreo with Andromeda before
[prjkt.io] :
thanks dev for this extension I work excellent

and a question, android 9.0 supports andromeda?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Nope always can with root.

Nah I wish, Google blocked overlays to be installed so only having them in system works and need root for that.

I have a problem, I connect my phone with everything enabled to my pc and run the ADB batch script, when I open andromeda it shows up "connected", but it closes automatically after a second and I don't know if it should. When I start substratum and try to patch a theme, it shows me toast: "could not connect to andromeda backend"

Please help me
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I've seen this too and reported this issue to the devs.

Fix meanwhile:

Open Substratum, run the .bat, open Substratum again run the .bat again and hit any key on pc to close command window. Open Substratum and it should work.
[prjkt.io] richard1337:
Thank you, I'll try it.

[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Then you have different issue, you buy Andromeda?

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

not sure about mac but some of this may help

All you make sure phone is being detected correctly

Make sure you extracted to a folder not desktop the zip with script files

Holding shift, Right click in the folder with the Andromeda files

Select open command prompt

Type: adb devices

Hit enter

Should show phone is connected with serial number.

If can't see it try Google search a fix. You'll need your phone adb drivers.

If can see then uninstall both Substratum and Andromeda reboot then install both again. Run script twice with phone connected. With Substratum open both times. It will close but last timebut command will not...hit any key to close. Try using Substratum. "Note: you don't need to open Andromeda for this to work"

[prjkt.io] richard1337:
Yes, I bought all three apps in the Playstore: The Theme, Substratum and Andromeda. I already tried with another theme, but got the same bug.

I have also connected my phone properly via ADB, when I enter "adb devices" my phone is displayed. I think that Substratum has some problem with Andromeda. Reinstalling it didn't work either.

Quick question how do you open the Andromeda java client i can't figure it out and i don't use java thanks
[prjkt.io] Sami Jildeh:
You have to install java 9 if you don't already. Just double click it and it will run.
[prjkt.io] richard1337:
I now know how you can fix the problem. Normally, if you have Lucky Patcher installed, you should get a toast when opening Andromeda. Mostly you don't. Because of that, Andromeda automatically closes. You should allow Lucky Patcher or show the message an other way. I just uninstalled Lucky Patcher and now everything works :)
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Use the .bat script instead. No java needed

So I guess all that yellow in Substratum wasn't enough? Lol

Why i cannot activate my substratum x andromeda

[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Try running the.bat twice to fix back end errors if that doesn't work you'll have to uninstall playstore overlay with adb or use rescue me from long press subs icon.

If running Oreo yes, the only issue is only one theme works on LG system and that's "Alpha theme" other themes you can only theme 3rd party apps no system.

This happens when Play Store updates itself automatically. I get the same problem out of the blue, and I'm guessing that's why.

All I do is Build and Update the Play Store overlay, reboot, and it works fine again.

[prjkt.io] Kreuger:
Restarting it doesn't fix anything. When I run cmd overlay list, I don't see anything for the play store. And now I'm having issues with Andromeda. When I open the app to check if it's connected, the window keeps disappearing on its own. And while my laptop says Andromeda is connected, it doesn't always work right away. Is there a command to just disable all overlays in the shell instead of going one at a time?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You can uninstall the theme apk itself then all overlays will uninstall with it. adb uninstall theme.package.name
[prjkt.io] ruipalmeira:
nice piece of software for whoever it works. downloaded JRE, which I never need for anything else and the "client" doesn't even open up. drivers are installed, the batch file ran fine, and the "addon" shows green on the phone.

is the .jar outdated, not needed anymore or what?

EDIT: tried both JRE x32 and x64, and the utility/client doesn't open and throws a JNI error followed by a Java exception. I know Java can be a ***** to setup sometimes, but isn't there a way around this? ps: I bought the addon on play store if anyone's wondering...

So, the client doesn't really work for me, but I can theme the phone (have to re-certify the phone/app with the batch file everytime phone reboots).
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
The java one has always been iffy using the batch file works much better, No java needed.....Rebooting will disable Andromeda so you'll need to connect to pc on every reboot if you want to access Substratum after reboot. If you have theme set like you want you only need to use pc while updating apps. Then no pc needed, reboot will not affect installed overlays. Hope that explains a bit better.
[prjkt.io] Adityakelkar180497:

I unzipped the file and applied some of the suggested fixes in the link below, including inserting the codes, but no success.

Most suggestions need the dev's project environment.

Looks like a clash either in naming of a class/var/etc or mismatch in libraries used to compile and then run by users, again a clash/scope/assigning/similar problem.

Guys the java script isn't working as well as the .bat script. Use it instead of the java one. Extract it to a folder and run it with phone connected. It doesn't need java to work.
[prjkt.io] wozhere:
Well I found out why most of the time it does not connect and how to get around.

I had to do without the java file as in the video and guide.

I flashed about ten themes I installed, half free half paid ones. Some only a few overlays and some a lot.

All checked for Oreo, said for each if you reboot you'll have it. After every reboot none of them did any thing.

1) So most of the times it does not connect.

2) When it does, the java part does not work.

3) And when finally installed, none of the themes do anything after a reboot.

It's a shame the dev does not put in an appearance here to say anything about any of the above.

Huge waste of expensive time, I am sure for many.
[prjkt.io] wozhere:
I bought yet another one, Swift black theme, does not do system menus or notifications. But got it to do Instagram and play store in black and YouTube, but Google gave us dark YouTube app (like desktop) recently anyway, it's in settings..

After build and enable, reboot. Then go through the hoops again (it's like unbricking!) and a second time just choose "enable" for the selected items overlays and reboot a second time.

If you're not getting connection, reboot PC or better yet first swap USB ports for the cable. It likes usb 2, or 3.x better than thunderbolt. Click gearwheel icon in pop-up and select both, ignore root blurb. Run andromeda, then batch file on PC. After green connection, launch substrat. Drops out often though. Huge waste of time that way, like a bricked phone.

There's a free app that gives you color choice for system notifications. Not for apps notifications and no system menus. Forget about it. These themes go out of date fast anyway, waste of money. The free sys app theme is called "power shade". Good luck folks.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:

Wow, tldr that long post that looks like you know nothing about me or the thread history. Those users started with attitude if I gave any...and for the record I didn't give your any either. Your are taking it defensively and posted with complaints like the others.

You need help? Ask for help without blasting the devs hard work. You see people having issues but it's not from substratum almost every post here. So go back and read again my friend before going on a long tirade.

I will and always will help willing people and you are not trying to give relevant info. If substratum builds and enabled any overlays it works like it should. If you get errors or anything building it's theme issues not substratum! So take those issues to theme devs. They will instruct you further!

Hope that helps!

Again blasting those trying to help will help no one!

For some odd reason, I wasn't able to set the permission to allow me to bash the script on my laptop. In fact, I still cannot. I'm not that seasoned of a user when it comes to Linux computing. I was however able to get the job done the first time around on my desktop. Both run Manjaro/Arch. The difference is, my desktop runs kde, and my laptop runs xfce desktop environments. Maybe this is an issue? If it hasn't already been clarified, and I hope I'm not rehashing something already covered by the forums.

if you run Linux, you need to set the permissions of BOTH start_andromeda.sh AND the ADB file to executable. Hope this helps anyone else with this issue.
