Use the app to disable/uninstall the overlays and then if it still is stuck, just do a restart and it should be back to stock
[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
Sudden changes took certain turns. The substratum app and Andromeda will always get updates as usual but the initial release we tested mainly compiling and enabling. The app should be fine after 842.
[prjkt.io] DynamitePress:
Same boat - Pixel XL. Most parts of the themes will work (particularly any non-system Apps work smoothly), but some system items crash Substratem, and the notification/quick settings shade are completely black. Only the brightness slider, LTE icon, profile icon, and settings wrench appear. Bizarre.

Direct Play Store paid add-on link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.andromeda

[MENTION=3605033]nicholaschum[/MENTION] And, why did you make the Andromeda desktop client free if it needs a paid add-on to function properly?
[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
It's not free for use, it's only for use with Andromeda.
[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
Some/a lot of themes need to be updated for Oreo, everyone should be aware that not every single theme is guaranteed to work unless explicitly stated
[prjkt.io] ATalkingRock:
Worth every penny but I too am having some issues with some themes such as the notifications turning darker with dark text so its hard to read. But oddly enough every theme results in my wifi and battery icon in my status bar to disappear!
[prjkt.io] MikeInHD:
Anyone know of a simple fix for error:

Pixel, Windows 7, Android 8.0.

On launch of start_andromeda.bat...

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

for me since I'm a noob.

Thanks
[prjkt.io] Yabbakinz:
Same issue. Restoring to stock and then enabling all the overlays except for the quick settings (QS) fixes this but still stuck with the blinding notification shade. Sure it will be fixed.
[prjkt.io] drdrewdown:
i haven't used windows in 10+ years but you could always set the folder where adb.exe resides in your environment variables
[prjkt.io] MikeInHD:
Yeahhh I tried that and it didn't do anything. Thanks for the feedback though
[prjkt.io] drdrewdown:
well you would likely need to login/logout or reboot the machine in order for it to take effect :)
[prjkt.io] CorvetteCole:
Same here, also on a pixel xl. installed a theme and had to factory reset. Good thing google backs these puppies up so thoroughly, was not expecting that. I went ahead and refunded my purchase, gonna stay away. Don't wanna do that again...
[prjkt.io] MikeInHD:
I fixed it by editing the Path from the system side and not the user side.... Thanks for your help!
[prjkt.io] Internet Guy:
My heart stopped when it rebooted and said "corrupt."

Spent like 30 mins getting restored. There should be a note on what works for Oreo so we could have avoided this.
[prjkt.io] CorvetteCole:
"Restoring 37 out of 137 applications..." This may take awhile. I think I may just live with my white notification shade or wait for all the bugs to work out. R I P
[prjkt.io] Sid32:
Can you see your phone on your computer?
[prjkt.io] Sami Jildeh:
As they said, your device isn't connected with your computer.

1. Are you sure adb debugging is connected?

2. If yes, what adb devices output?

if you don't have adb debugging enabled in developer options you need to enable it.

If you don't even have developer options enabled, go to about phone -> software information -> then click 7 times on build number (no matter where you can see your build number just click it 7 times)

Developer options will be visible in settings from it enable adb debugging (or sometimes it called USB debugging)
[prjkt.io] dickybilly:
FIRSTLY, when I connect the USB cable between my phone and laptop it connects, the S9 asks to allow connection, I answer yes, the laptop opens the menu to open a folder, etc which I close and do not respond to.

Next....USB debugging IS ENABLED on my phone.

As far as ADB DEBUGGING I'm clueless.... the only output I get is what you see.

As far as the process I follow exactly the steps outlines at the top of this thread. On my phone the RED screen of adromeda shows and never turns green. The output of logging the batch file is in the thread above. The batch file ALWAYS FAILS.

On my laptop I know the ADB server starts in the batch script because after the failure of the batch file I can open CMD and enter commands to kill or start the ADB server.

Thanks

What NEXT steps should I take, PLEASE be specific.
[prjkt.io] Sami Jildeh:
Don't mind ADB DEBUGGING as long as USB DEBUGGING enabled. On Samsung devices it called USB DEBUGGING.

Did you try to connect with smart switch? if not, Install smart switch software to your PC and try to connect to it and after successful connection try to run the file.

I am trying to help, i am not sure what is the problem you are facing.

I am sorry if my instructions aren't clear.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
In cmd type adb devices, does it show the phone serial number? If so run the script again with Substratum open. Make sure you extracted the zip and use the .bat not the java client.
[prjkt.io] aleandroid:
I saw that but I responded by saying once I reboot I have to connect to activate Andromeda again so the overlays aren't enabled.
[prjkt.io] dickybilly:
Let's start from the beginning...

USB DEBUGGING is enabled on my S9

for VERIFY APPS FOR USB DEBUGGING... ON OR OFF ????

for the USB cable connection..... USB CONFIGURATION what setting should be set? MTP? PTP ? RDNDNS ? MIDI ?
[prjkt.io] Sami Jildeh:
"for VERIFY APPS FOR USB DEBUGGING" open CMD on the same folder that has adb in it and type in CMD : adb devices

you should have your device's serial number if the connection is okay. Let me know what you get from adb devices

"for the USB cable connection..... USB CONFIGURATION what setting should be set? MTP? PTP ? RDNDNS ? MIDI ?" i never changed it, keep it the default one.

[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:

[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I have to ask the simple questions just in case. You extracted the files? Also you said the phone was detected does it show serial number if you right click holding shift select "open cmd" then type adb devices? If so, try .bat file with phone connected and adb seeing it. Let me know plz

doesnt work

update

I reboot my device

I open substratum and i use offline mode, the stuff i want is there. I open andromeda on my PC, and the substratum app resets! The stuff is gone.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Stuff? As in overlays? Try building even though they are not showing, do you get errors and does it show the ones you just built in the overlay manager?
[prjkt.io] nep :3:
yeah, overlays, when i reboot my device, and boot up andromeda it says "No overlays found"
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
What device? Oh wait you got your answers in telegram chat no?

That's supposed to happen and also if you have subs open while doing so it will close also, open it back up and it will be working.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You didn't even need to touch the Andromeda app, just connect phone to pc open subs click .bat and let it do it's thing. Reopen subs build theme. Rebooting made you have to connect to pc again no need to reboot.

Problem on Mi a1

The status of andromeda on the phone is "Connected", the andromeda client pc also shows "It's running", the script works flawlessly but the Substratum still notifies that vertification failed...
[prjkt.io] chitownfynest:
I'm getting these same results, although, on the latest Android P preview. I thought there was a beta update to substratum for this to work?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
When your say application you mean Substratum? Because Andromeda doesn't open is just a dialog ui.

Looking at the screenshots looks like it's building, the more the theme dev has to add depends how long to build. Could be that or a bug depending how long you think is long. 2 minutes on gmail is long to me but 1 min could be to you. Don't think you have to worry about us thinking you patched it. But could be a bug with root if you are rooted?

Uninstall both Substratum and Andromeda from playstore and reinstall. Try again let us know.

Not guaranteed because themes need to support P also. Needs root also
[prjkt.io] exodius48:
It has been solved.

I'm using RR with rootless substratum commit, so no need andromeda. I uninstalled andromeda, and it worked
[prjkt.io] khoale1998:
Updated it works now. Thank you :D

Connection status disconnected

I am unable to my phone to Andromeda. I connected my honor 7x to my pc and tried running. Bat file in command prompt its show deamon started successfully. But my adrodema on the phone still show connection status "debugging disabled" or disconnected... I am not able to run substratum. Please help:crying: for some reason. Jar file is also not getting installed on my windows 7pc so I am unable to try the other method as well.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Did you extract the zip? Sorry I have to ask that first. Also try in that extracted folder: Hold shift and right click, select open cmd here and type adb devices. Do you see serial number of device? If no there's an issue with adb drivers or cable isn't a data cable. If so try the .bat with Substratum open. Once you run .bat it should close Substratum. Then you can reopen it and use it. Let us know.

Andromeda is now connected

Thanks for your reply. My Andromeda is now connected. There was issues with my device drivers.

But now the another big challenge is that. When I apply any theme in substratum its shows "applying overlays" etc.. But after applying Nothing changes in my phone. I tried restarting my phone. But still I see no change. I have honor 7x. :(. I tried 2-3 different themes.. Nothing working

So does this work for Galaxy S7 (Snapdragon, G930F - T-Mobile) anyone atm? I'm debating if I should update my phone to Oreo (just got the update last week but still haven't downloaded) or wait until Andromeda is working for Google Play properly again. Also, does the desktop client work for Vista at least? I don't have a Windows 7 :( I looked on the front page and could not find anything answering either of these questions. I have no problem buying an add-on again but I'm wondering if I should or if I'm wasting my money. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! P.S. I am un-rooted, in case that matters.
[prjkt.io] methoddon1:
I've had Substratum since day one and never basically had issues but have read somewhere that when installing and starting for the first time Andromeda stopped error pops up , and this is what happened to a friend of mine ... how do you fix it, USB enabled, Debugging ticked, all paid all good ... using a laptop with Andromeda client files.. looks all good except for the error ..

Works on Oreo Samsung no problem, I have S8 N8 S9+ all using on Oreo and many users with S7 on Oreo no issue. As for vista as long as it can run the .bat and has adb for your device installed shouldn't be an issue.

Unable to apply the theme

When trying to apply the overlays its give me a msg

"Selected overlays updated with some errors"

'Target overlay/application outdated or mismatch configuration"

I see lots of overlays listed in pink. I tried doing update &build and restarted and then applying it but still I don't see any changes anywhere except the notification which I get are themed now. But nothing else is getting themed. Please suggest something
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Just installed the July Security update for T-Mobile Note 8 and none of the overlays will install. Andromeda is connected and substratum opens, when I select an overlay it builds but never installs - just says a reboot is necessary and nothing is installed. Doesn't ever go to unknown source to allow the installation.

EDIT:

Found that know unknown sources after the security update is per app. Also had to untick Sungstromeda mode to get the layers to install and by doing this I have to connect to the PC after every reboot to get Substratum working again.
[prjkt.io] FriGiN:
Errors?

OK, I've figured out that you need JRE 10 to get the .jar to run just the 8u171 results in errors. I'm using a Samsung Note 8 i have paid for andromeda and downloaded substratum on the device. When I run the .bat file andromeda enables, then when i run the .jar file it says its not started and you have to click stop andromeda then hit start again. It just hangs there and does nothing see attached .jpg. IDK what to do, i can get the service running but the skinning never actually takes hold i just get the same ole theme i always had. Please help I'd really appreciate not wasting 2 bucks on the play store for something that just doesnt work.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Think you have something not selected or possibly theme issues. Show screenshot of these errors please

Sungstromeda mode is tetherless life and needs to have each overlay installed with package installer. That's why you needed to change the permission. Otherwise like you found uncheck it returned to Andromeda mode that needs pc. All intended behavior.

Only need to use .bat if java ui doesn't work. Hook phone to pc, open subs, hit .bat on pc, subs will close. Remove cable...not needed anymore. Open subs, build themes.

And it works perfectly fine. No need to complain about money spent. We will try and help. Just keep positive attitude.

[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
That's what I was saying, nothing installs with Sungstromeda after the security update. Prior to the update Sungstromeda was working, after the update I can only get I can only get Andromeda to work.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You are having theme issues, contact theme dev.

It's ok bud I know the frustration, glad you got it working.

Try uninstalling the overlays first then building again? When I got the June update I had to rebuild all system apps again. Also might be a bug in sungstromeda.

[prjkt.io] seanskiT!:
Have you been in substratum settings and made sure sungstromeda is unchecked? Did you reboot your device after building theme? Have you read through this thread? If you answered no to any one these then you should edit your post. Works absolutely perfect on my and many others Samsungs.

Use the script instead, you may have a java version not compatible. The script doesn't use java just commands. Extract the zip and click on the start_Andromeda.bat I think it says.

Oh I have no knowledge of Linux, but Windows 10 should work that's what I use. Try to do the commands manually in Linux maybe? Open the .bat and try the commands yourself. Only thing I can recommend until the other devs see this.

Need help.

So I enabled USB debugging in my Xiaomi Mi A1.

Got the paid Andromeda client from Play Store as well as Substratum theme engine, so I launch the Andromeda client. Connection status: Disconnected, so I plug in the USB cable from my PC, then I allow USB file transfer in Xiaomi Mi A1, then I hit start_andromeda.bat and i get some lines but nothing like what it's supposed to do: "* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully *" and a few more lines like "error: device <null> not found" etc in a blink of an eye after that and command prompt closes.

Then I try to install ADB on my Windows 7 PC following the guide from this link https://www.xda-developers.com/insta...s-macos-linux/, and all i get is that line: "adb server version (32) doesn't match this client (40); killing... * daemon started successfully" and after re-try with "adb devices" command I get another line: "List of devices attached", but it doesn't list my device, it doesn't list anything at all.

After some googling, I learned that it most likely appears to be a version conflict, so I killed every process i could in task manager and re-started command prompt typying "adb kill-server" then getting this as a result "platform-tools_r28.0.0-windows\platform-tools>adb kill-server

cannot connect to daemon at tcp:5037: cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:5037: (10061)" Well, not that its a huge help, but it might help, i guess. If anything, I have no idea what could be using an older ADB version.

Also tried Java client but it doesnt open even though I have latest Java installed.

Don't want to refund just yet so im here, asking for help.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
When you connected, the device asked a permission prompt to allow adb you might have missed. Your only issue is adb once you get that working everything else will. Try revoking adb in Dev options see screenshot. And reconnect to PC and Make sure to allow adb connection on device when it comes up. Let us know

Oops forgot screenshot
[prjkt.io] costage:
I reenabled USB debugging and my PC seemed to recognize ADB but when i go to task manager there is an exclamation mark on ADB Interface under "Other devices". Other than that "adb devices" in command prompt still doesnt list my Mi A1.
[prjkt.io] costage:
Finally managed to run Substratum. What i did was install "Mi PC Suite" for Windows PC and that way it updated my ADB drivers. Andromeda launched without problems.

But now im experiencing more issues: Sofar i have tried a few Substratum themes and all of them are causing problems once compiling a theme and not everything works. Checked Default Dark Theme, BalticUI and DNA Project, all of them failing with most of the themes upon compiling. After restart only some of the themes work, for example Settings will be themed but Dialer wont. What is the reason?
