Keep working on this, you will get more help here, and try the Telegram channel, wacko geniuses hang there, crazy good as solving issues. Just don't give up. This is a powerful tool, but everyone needs to learn to use it on their device.
[prjkt.io] PowerPoint777:
Yeah i am keep trying!
[prjkt.io] Sami Jildeh:
To fix a problem you have to know the error.

Open the bat file (right click it and select edit) then after last line add "pause" word without ""

and run it. Then it will show what it done.

If there is any error you will be able to read it. Copy it and paste it here.

At least this is a good step one to solve your problem.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Ok you say nothing happens, if you have Substratum open while running the script you'll see it close. That's it working.

Plz help us help you by giving details
[prjkt.io] Wendigogo:
Guy,

You are so kindfull... 10 messages back you already asked for details to another user.

Is everyone so lazy here to at least reading first posts and latest ones?

And I didn't talk about using the search button...

To users : do you think calling by phone "my car doesn't start, please repair it." will land you somewhere? You should at least tell what car it is, what did you tried and what happened when you tried... Devs have high skills but they are not magicians.

Enjoy!

Does anyone have andomeda working with their p20 pro?

I managed to use the desktop client to connect to the andromeda app on my p20 pro (it have a green box that says connected), but when i pull out the usb cable, it goes to disconnect (red box that says disconnected)

Saw on OP's first post that there is an issue with this, so i tried on other laptops as recommended but still having the same issue

I'm on stock EMIUI, lastest 0.130 build. Laptops on Win10

Also, i notice that USB debugging option goes back to "off" when i pull out the USB cable. is this a normal behavior?
[prjkt.io] Elsinore:
I can't get this to work. I got stuck on "andromeda desktop"pls. Connect a

device before continuing" stuck on red status connection "disabled" build:

android 8.1 oreo my phone is detected on windows i can access its folders even sd folder.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Some devices have this behavior yes, just need to keep connected to pc.

You need to have adb debugging on in your phone and also adb drivers installed on your pc. Once you have that working the client will work.
[prjkt.io] adamtan:
so i'm connected to PC with andromeda connected.

substratum runs and i select a theme and select build and enable.

it says building and after which, a prompt came up and says "reboot required! after the march secruity patch, Google implemented a check on overlays which needs a reboot to activate an installed/updated overlay! as such this overlay will be in pink and enable/disable state will be disabled until a reboot"

so i reboot. theme does not apply.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
You have to go and enable them after reboot, pink turns Orange after reboot

Hi. On my new LG Stylo 4, the Andromeda app does not open. It just stays in the launcher. How can I fix this?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Going to need way more info, steps taken, Rom/firmware, root and Andromeda.? ....etc etc etc more info the better so we can help.
[prjkt.io] z1_nile:
I'm sorry, point me in right direction please.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I just did that, Did you read that thread?
[prjkt.io] AT49ers:
I'm unable to use either the batch scripts or the java client. When I use the command prompt it tells me that the device is offline, it's moving the main script, and adb server is out of date, killing... daemon started successfully

then the command prompt disappears and Andromeda continues to say its connection status is disconnected.

The java client immediately pulls up an error saying "A JNI error occurred, please check your installation and try again." I click ok and then it says "A Java exception has occurred"

I've reinstalled both the script and client several times now and nothing is helping.

Please help!!!
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Need more info plz....

Let's use the script much easier!

1. have you extracted the files?

2. Have you installed adb drivers on pc and granted it permission on the phone? "Will popup and ask"

3. "adb server is out of date, killing... daemon started successfully" is normal. You turn on adb debugging on your phone?

4. Did you buy Andromeda from playstore?

I'll help as much I can.
[prjkt.io] AT49ers:
Just want to preface this by saying that sometimes I can get the scripts to run. It's usually 1 out of every 30 or so times I run the .bat and for some reason, it actually works. So before this, I would just sit there for 15 or 20 minutes just trying it over and over again until it worked. Recently it's stopped working altogether so that's why I'm here.

1. Yup! Files are extracted

2. This is where things are a little complicated. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them from the ones I got off of Samsungs site (galaxy s8 user). I followed this guide to reinstall (https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/) but got stuck on the 6th step under the windows setup. When I entered adb devices into the powershell it gave me this:

PS E:\adb\platform-tools> adb devices

adb : The term 'adb' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the

spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

At line:1 char:1

+ adb devices

+ ~~~

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (adb:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Suggestion [3,General]: The command adb was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\adb". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.

PS E:\adb\platform-tools>

I figure this is likely the problem that is keeping me from running the .bat file easily. Thing is I have no idea why it wouldn't pop up on my phone. I'm in MTP mode and followed all the directions closely up until that point.

3. Yup adb debugging is turned on in my developer options.

4. Yea I bought Andromeda from the play store.

Thank you for your time and help!

I am not using a rom, I have Android Oreo, not rooted. My phone is brand new, and I don't want to void the warranty.

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

I downloaded the app from APKHere, and installed it. No parse errors, it installed just fine. I have Android Oreo 8.1.0 on my 2018 LG Stylo 4. Kinda low on Google Play Credits, so i tried installing it from the net.
[prjkt.io] Sami Jildeh:
That is your problem "I downloaded the app from APKHere"

Buy it from Play Store and it will work.
[prjkt.io] Androidattitude500:
Okay. Thanks. I dont want to connect my credit card to my Google Play because right now, i dont know who i can trust, but I can go get a gift card.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Yeah you get adb working correctly everything will fall in place. I have S8 and S9+. Got drivers from Samsung using this to guide me: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb

Hope that helps!

Yeah bro, coming here with a pirated version will get you no support. Buy it to get any further help and you'll need to show purchase history. Thanks for understanding!
[prjkt.io] AT49ers:
Thing is I've been through that process several times already. Whenever I do it Windows tells me that I already have the best driver software installed, but it still won't find my device when I use adb devices in the PowerShell.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Then you might wanna search your pc manufacturers site for answers. Adb is your only issue. Try uninstalling adb drivers and then reboot pc connect phone and make Windows try searching for them. Might work. Used to do that on Windows 8 before I got 10.

Hi all, has anyone tried substratum + Andromeda on the 2xl vzw version since the pie update rolled out? Was having trouble with a theme and stopped substratum all together a while ago, but would like to try again if it supports Android P. Anyone know if it's working?
[prjkt.io] eddiecheaz:
I reached out to you on Telegram

I fit the criteria and sent you a message.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
Pie needs root so Andromeda doesn't work. You'll need the beta build for Substratum on telegram.
[prjkt.io] Di$torted:

everything works fine untill i apply ozone theme and it says "substratum cannot connect to andromeda backend" and says preparing theme overlay in notification and doesn't apply the theme. oneplus 3t not rooted . helppp

Andromeda/Substratum/Pie

DJ,

Like an idiot, I accepted the system update a few days ago.

Previously I was running Davey's latest Domination (Sprite is my backup go-to) on 8.1.

Now I'm stuck with blinding white everywhere.

I noticed you posted that Substratum works with Pie, as long as you're rooted and you need the beta Substratum found on Telegram.

Any way to get that beta without Telegram? If not, and I install Telegram, is there a person/user, etc. I need to search for?

Will Andromeda work like it did with Oreo? Plug in the phone, run Andromeda, then open the Substratum app? I never needed to root my Pixel 2XL on Oreo, but I'll track down a refresher on unlocking the bootloader and getting root.

As always, sincere thanks for your time and guidance.
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
CharG posted a link to the 998 beta in the Substratum G+ group.
[prjkt.io] Skid71:
Appreciate the point in the right direction. I found a (the) post, when I clicked the drive link, it went straight to the install screen. No version number was given when looking at app info.

Can you tell me if the setup works the same as non-rooted Oreo? (plug in the phone, run Andromeda, open substratum app, etc.?)

Many thanks
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
On Oreo it worked that way. On Pie you have to be rooted, or no black, just ugly blinding white. :rolleyes:

No themes can be installed on Pie unless you root.
[prjkt.io] Skid71:
Copy on rooting Pie.

Once rooted, and having the Substratum beta installed...

Is the process just like Oreo, with PC connection, etc.?
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
Someone else needs to answer that. I have two medical apps that keep me from rooting.

Were da honeybadger at? :D [MENTION=3730810]Badger50[/MENTION]
[prjkt.io] Badger50:
You don't need Andromeda, just uninstall it. You'll also need to "build and update" your overlays, reboot, then enable them in substratum manager :good:

Yes bought it from playstore . anyway i had installed luckypatcher thats why it was crashing. i reinstalled andromeda after removing luckypatcher , now everything works fine . :)
[prjkt.io] luka46:
I followed the steps, and I have successfully connected andromeda with substratum. I dowloaded some dark theme, and when I do build&enable, the phone starts the build process, and when it's done, there is no change in theme. Not even if I restart the phone. Also in substratum manager, there is nothing.

I'm using Razer phone (android 8.1.0)
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
"Some dark theme" is possible the issue but

Build update overlays

Reboot

Go back to theme list and enable.

Reboot

[prjkt.io] luka46:
I used [Substratum] DNA Project theme. Also, when I successfully connect andromeda with pc client, Substratum does not start by itself. I have to open it manually.
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
They removed that Substratum opens again. Just open it manually and it should be good. Also make sure that theme supports your device.
[prjkt.io] luka46:
It still doesn't work. When I build&update, there are no overlays in the manager to turn on, not even when I reboot the phone. I've noticed, that the only way the overlays are shown under the manager, is to start the Substratum in offline mode w/out the andromeda, but in that case, I can only select all overlays and only option it gives me, is to uninstall them.
[prjkt.io] MrContar1997:
i had similar issues with notification area being complete black and not applying the themes properly, what fixed it for me was updating to 842 then disabling all themes, enabling one and reboot the phone, then it was fine and works pretty much all the time now

Thanks for the quick reply! :)

The issue happens on these three Oreo-ready themes (so far):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftdark.substratum

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.subs.focus

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.subs.compound

After numerous restarts, SwiftDark worked. It presented some errors, but the shade is now visible and themed.

This is so exciting!
[prjkt.io] drdrewdown:
ah ok, so here we go..

Spoke with Daniel (creator of Compound & other awesome themes) & he reminded me to read the play store descriptions lol

This theme works on Stock Android Oreo
(I wouldn‘t apply status bar icons overlay on Oreo because the icons can only be partially themed and it doesn‘t look that well at the moment)

so it appears "battery and mobile signal in status bar cannot be themed unfortunately on Stock O" hence the weirdness with those icons!

Only a partial blow to my excitement :)

p.s other themes like belo have similar/more description

IMPORTANT: Android O users, when you open the theme in substratum, first you need to select Oreo instead of Nougat at the top of the overlays list. Then select all the overlays, except System UI Status Bar Icons (because the overlay is empty, we still can't theme status bar icons in O) and MusicFX. If you still select those two overlays by accident you'll get the message: "One of more overlays cannot compile due to missing configurations under this set up...", but anyway theme will compile successfully, so don't worry.
P.S. obviously don't install variants which have "NOUGAT ONLY" at the beginning of its names.
P.P.S. mobile data tile can't be themed so don't report it as a bug ;)
[prjkt.io] marnett2005:
Excited to try this out later, confirmed working on 6P?

And random side question, does this affect UI on Android Auto at all?
[prjkt.io] bzeimen:
the dev has a Nexus 6P, and it's working for him.

Apps (like Android Auto) will only be themed if the theme you install specifically modifies them. Not all themes will modify all apps. You may have a dark Android Messages, but not a dark Facebook, for example.
[prjkt.io] marnett2005:
Sweet. Wasn't sure about that, 6P is the only Android phone I've never rooted.
[prjkt.io] NotRobot:
Compound works fine on my Pixel. When it said compiling I went back to my homescreen and Substratum didnt crash but if I stay in Substratum while it compiles it crashes everytime.

Everybody that has issues try going to your homescreen while it compiles the theme and it might work.
[prjkt.io] drdrewdown:
not having any issue compiling while substratum in foreground, are you on latest 842 build?
[prjkt.io] NotRobot:
No I wasn't... Now it works fine. I didn't notice there was an update already
[prjkt.io] bzeimen:
If you're rooted, you don't need the Andromeda addon, just install Substratum and the themes you want to use.
[prjkt.io] Goronok:
Has anyone found a way to mute the on-going background notification?
[prjkt.io] Arnavj27:
Sorry if I'm being pragmatic but the desktop client doesn't seem to be activating on my 6P, I've tried several times and conncection status still says disconnected, not allowing me to enter substratum app. On cmd I managed to see that it said "cannot stat 'device_script.sh': No such file or directory". Is it just me that's going wrong
[prjkt.io] uicnren:
Script crashes on Mac

NM< fixed
[prjkt.io] kriko:
Finally I can kiss goodbye that blinding bright Oreo default theme.

It works! Swift dark looks great.

The only thing I'm missing is a layer for Rootles pixel launcher, which remains white :/
[prjkt.io] MrContar1997:
Compound has a pixel launcher layer aswell as a bunch of apps like chrome, twitter etc
[prjkt.io] drdrewdown:
i recommend "METHOD 2"

get that app & create a notification block that says "Substratum is running in the background" (no quotes)

which is slightly different (but more precise) than the description in the youtube video. I prefer it to be more precise so it only blocks this specific notification

https://www.xda-developers.com/hide-app-running-background-notification-android-oreo/

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

well, does that file exist? it should've been present when you extracted the zip file originally

aside from that you need to provide more information
[prjkt.io] Arnavj27:
Tbh I don't even know what that file is, I just extracted the zip and ran the batch, the CMD disappeared yet the disabled connection remained
[prjkt.io] drdrewdown:
when you extract the zip, open the folder it created & take a glance. Do you see that file? Also, I recommend launching all this from the command prompt, not just double clicking the file. That way it doesn't disappear & you can troubleshoot if necessary
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
Are you using the updated substratum apk from the theme store? Also you can get the latest beta from here. I'm using the latest beta with no problems. By the way, what phone are you using?
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
I don't recall saying go to the manager bro:

Build update overlays

Reboot "enable Andromeda"

Go back to "theme list" not manager and enable.

You might try the latest beta from the link I provided, be sure and uninstall the play store version first and give the beta all the permissions it asks for.
[prjkt.io] luka46:

You need to rebuild the overlays for the updated apps. They are still built on old apps. And the theme must support changes to the OS that updated.

Substratum won't open automatically anymore, it will just close once it gets the patch from adb. When you run the script, reopen Substratum. Do you have errors? Show us screenshots of Substratum settings and uninstall any apps that pirate/steal paid apps.
