Hello. I'm using a Oneplus 3T stock Oreo and decided to try this today. But I missed out on reading to disable the System UI options before building my theme, and now all I get is a black screen before it reboots to recovery. I haven't rooted my device and don't know how to reset this. I tried flashing the rescue ZIP files from my phone and via ADB but both don't work. Can someone please let me now what I can do now other than resetting the phone again? I just did it 2 days ago and don't wanna do it again. Thank you!

Love AndromedaXSubstratum rootless, but having connection issues with andromeda

XDA:

What potential factors could be preventing further connection to andromeda? I have made sure to use the correct windows batch file for this surface pro 4 - Win10, have made sure usb-debugging is enabled, have successfully used andromeda companion application in the past, and would very much like to further theme and alter my device. Currently have a Pixel 2 and am extracting via win10 explorer option. Will be rebooting pc following declutter of multi-desktops currently running. What could I try to reconnect to andromeda for future rootless theming? Loved it and would love it back. Feel free to email or reply to this post. Thanks for any consideration.

Greetings;

I've purchased the "Andromeda" from Play Store but I have also gained "Root" through Magisk. (Pixel 2 XL)

Would it be advisable to stay with "Andromeda"?

Thank you.

Sorry, I dont get it...

I have S8+ Oreo unrooted, the Andromeda batch file works, shows in green and opens the Sungstratum.

I try to theme all the stuff with the Swift Black, but I get themed only Gmail. No Market (yes, I have English language as default and it was perfectly themed on 7.0 before I have updated to Oreo), no Whatsapp, no Instagram etc.

I have tried to Force stop the Market/Whatsapp/Instagram - no luck. Even the Substratum itself can not get themed and still stay white.

Another nuance. If I want to theme the Samsung Navbar, I should reboot to make theme active, but if I reboot, I should first re-enable andromeda permissions and here is no themed Navbar again. I am confused with this :(

upd1. Get it all to work somehow after doing a reboot and playing with Substratum - Manager: Enable selected / Change overlay state. Very confusing. Looks like there is one or more buggy overlay in my whole selection. I use Swift Black and Vivid navbars (Punisher).

[emoji677]️[emoji677]️[emoji677]️from what I understand the only way to have apps theming stick is to run on a stock theme which is nonsense to me as well as all encountered but it is what it is... people are trying and working... they rest of mods work fine on S8 Oreo... but...

anyone on S8 oreo had their AOD just disappear every 3 hours or so..? and it's still On in settings.

I'm curios if its Andromeda System Mod that I removed battery icon from AOD with causing this or some new oreo settings I can't find..

I have the same problem!
[prjkt.io] dRm42:
I'll try to be as nice as possible, but this really was nothing but trouble. I downloaded Substratum, that detected that my phone (HTC 10 with Stock ROM) is a suitable device with oreo and offered me to download Andromeda. Ok, watched TK's video, purchased the app, downloaded the Java App to a Windows 10 laptop. That seemed to be the easiest. USB Debugging on, didn't even detect my phone. Ok, no problem, downloaded the shell script for Windows. Finally the check turned to green, but as soon as I unplugged the cable, it flipped back to red, and never turned back to green again. Restarted the phone, no change. But hey, at least I saw it working for 10 seconds :) Anyway, we still have options, I'll try the Mac client at home on my Macbook Air (running High Sierra). As soon as I got home, I downloaded the app, read the read me file and followed the super simple instructions. Clicked on the app, a popup came up saying I'd need to hit continue and then select the mounted image of the Andromeda client. And so I did, only to get another error: "The action "Run Shell Script encountered an error. Line 15 /Volumes/Andromeda is a directory." Needless to say that the Java app doesn't see my phone on Mac either...

It might have been just one of those days, but this was my most miserable software experience in a very long time. I leave the money to support the developers. I still appreciate the intention and that they tried to come up with something cool...but there's lots to fix around here...

Hi, Just bought the Andromeda app and tried theming.

I can't get it to work, connected to PC client and it got authenticated and all was fine until I try to install and enable it.

Building doesn't show up anywhere and using the build and enable function doesn't enable it, No errors.

Using Galaxy S8 SM-G950FD, running Android 8.0 Oreo "CRAP" firmware.

Thanks for any assistance.

Edit:

Tried installing yoru.

And Got these errors;

I get this unremovable "andromeda and substratum are connected" notification. Did I mess it up or its natural? Everything is working fine though!
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
I've seen that if one does not change the adb connection from "charging" to "file transfer", changing that will solve it usually.

Reboot definitely solves it, and usually helps after with themes applying, especially notifications.
[prjkt.io] Haris000:
You sure? Coz if I reboot I have to restart the client and I guess the notification will show up again!
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
Are you saying themes do not apply unless the Andromeda client is running?

Your short comments are a little vague as to what is occurring, or maybe it is me. What I stated above works for me, and yes, I am 1000% sure. I just did that with about 8 apps updated from Google.

[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, that is the notification I mean.

If you disconnect the USB cable and reboot, that notification comes back?
[prjkt.io] Haris000:
No if I reboot, The client will show the disconnected status and I have to run the client again which will result in showing the notification again!
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
OK, still not clear to me. Here are the steps I do when a theme updates, let me know what is different for you.

1- Update theme from Play Store.

2- Connect USB cable

3- Changed ADB notification from "charging" to "transfer files"

4- Start Andromeda client on PC (Substratum opens automatically) leave Andromeda running during next steps

5- Go to manager section of Substratum and uninstall theme

6- Go to themes and apply new updated theme

7-After theme updates, disconnect USB cable

8- Reboot

9- Exit PC terminal

Theme is applied, notification is gone.

i tried to change the system UI (notifications and quicklinks menu) from white to black/dark with substratum and andromeda (rootless), but only the themes of the apps (edit: and some notifcations) are changing, but the system UI stays the same

i tried the themes "Default Dark", Sai's Oreo Theme" and "Swift Dark"

is HTC U11 not compatible? :(

For What it's Worth

Basically bought the app a long time ago just to support the devs. At the time I had no intent of using Andromeda after reading the directions I thought it was a PITA. I continued to run Substratum rooted just because I found it more convenient (I resist change). Today I installed a cool custom 8.1 ROM and though I'm rooted with Magisk I decided to not grant root privileges to Substratum and actually use Andromeda as the devs intended. It works perfectly and plugging in the USB and running the .bat isn't that bad. Not totally sure but I think Subs might run better this way. :svetius:

Installed to perfection on my PH 1 beta 8.1

I'm not sure if this is an Andromeda-related issue, but any dark/black theme I apply (other than Swift Dark/Black) has issues with dark notification text on dark/black backgrounds.

So far I've only seen this on notifications, but it's significant enough for me to have to avoid using certain themes and just stick to Swift Dark/Black or light themes.

The themes I have tested, and have the issue with are:

Ethereal

Spectrum

Mono/Art

Flux

My device info is as follows:

Pixel 2 XL rooted and using Andromeda (not using Substratum in root mode because I've read that Andromeda is a better method to compile overlays)

Feb Stock 8.1

Latest version of those themes mentioned, as of this post

Latest version of Andromeda and Substratum as of this post as well

I don't have a log as compiling themes does not return any errors, it's just dark notification text on dark/black backgrounds

Any insight on this would be appreciated, and I sincerely apologize if this has already been discussed and resolved.

Does the desktop ADB batch file make any changes to the device that cannot be reversed? If I wanted to go back to pre Substratum/Andromeda and I uninstall theme overlays, Substratum app and Andromeda app, would I have to reverse anything that was changed via ADB?

Was there ever a time where you could disconnect your phone from your PC after running the batch file and still be able to use Substratum? I ask because I'm sure one of the videos on YouTube, possibly an Android Police video, stated you could continue to use Substratum un-tethered so long as you don't restart your device.
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
Not for me. I need to run Andromeda via the shell script from my Linux box to add / remove / update any Substratum themes or overlays. Of course they stay during phone use, reboots, etc. You just have to connect to Andromeda by running the PC client to change / add / remove / update, including app Play Store updates.

How are you changing buttons? Some substratum overlays work fine e.g. yoru. (Or even some themes e.g. Material Dark)
[prjkt.io] liekinfinitybajillion:
I agree completely.

I effectively wasted 4 hours this morning on a rare two days off in a row for me (I REALLY HATE the now white notification shade with a passion, and I want to get rid of it ASAP).

I didn't have the patience to try it on PC as you did after failing on my Mac. But I guess I'll just have to wait until the devs make all the black themes for unrooted, slightly older phones that have upgraded to Oreo. I gave up--it's just too much trouble, and now I've whipped out my only working notebook, and it's just such a big mess for a friggin' blinding, platinum white, and obtrusive notification shade.

And I hope they remember to give the option of making the notification shade all black too, in addition to all the other things a theme would normally do. Don't overlook that notification shade, devs! I want it black!

I'll throw $10 eff-ing dollars at whatever app can do this to my phone. I HATE that white notification shade.

Install script not working on Zenfone 3

Hi,

yesterday i tried to install Substratum with Andromeda on a Zenfone 3 with Oreo 8.0.0 installed and could not get Andromeda running via the Client script. The script runs and exits without activating Andromeda on the Zenfone.

The host script is transfered sucessfully, i can see it in /data/local/tmp but when i execute the script manually via adb shell i receive the error "pm: not found".

Though, i can enter the script commands manually on the shell and get Andromeda working, "pm path projekt.andromeda" provides the correct path in this case . Unfortunatly when i close the adb session also Andromeda gets closed again. I did try to set app permissions to "RUN_IN_BACKROUND" manually before but this did not change anything.

Is there an issue with using the script on the Zenfone ? It is cumbersome to enter commands via shell manually all the time.

Device: Asus Z_012D (ZE552KL)

ROM: Asus Stock WW_15_0410.1801.40_0

Hi,updated to Oreo on my s8 the other day and bought andromeda. Bit disappointed about needing to have a laptop on hand to set it up and then again anytime I restart but anyway,my main issue is getting themes to enable. I like the new way the themes enable in theory without having to reboot the phone,but most of the time in order to get the overlays I've enabled to show up in the manager tab, I have to restart my phone and it gets a bit frustrating. Also at times when I build and then go back and update,it disables all my themes and I have to go back in and re-enable all of the overlays(sometimes not all enable,even if they've all been ticked) and enable them all again to get them to stick. I'm finding anytime I install any new overlay even if its one simple one I've installed before(for eg,settings icon overlay,yoru),i'll have to restart to get it to show up under the managers tab. Anyone else having this issue?
