Try to clear the data and cache of Substratum and Andromeda and try to re-connect with PC.

When PC client connects and enable Andromeda, Substratum will not open and it is normal.

Just open it and it will function normally.

I hope clearing the data and cache will help. Let me know what will happen.

I think this might be LG theme interfering, do you have one applied? I know Samsung themes do this.

They recently added more security due to pirates patching things. You have any apps that provide paid apps free will cause back and issues.

Any of those apps including lucky patcher can cause it.
[prjkt.io] brossovitch:
Yes. But not theming anything simultaneously. My black pixel LG theme does LG apps and I want substratum to handle Google apps. It was the dark substratum theme that everyone uses. I've since uninstalled everything and gotten a refund from Gplay. I use a lot of beta apps that cannot be themed.

I'm just going to wait until I get a OP6 and/or 6T.

[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
It don't think it matters if it's sharing OMS and doesn't like it, try without LG theme activated just to see if it's like Samsung. I'm not positive but another theme dev is making a subs theme said it broke his theme on reboot having both applied...but if you don't reboot you can use both.

I seen something about making sure Andromeda and Substratum aren't being optimized. I was only reading in the help chat this might cause issues.

Can anyone tell my why this is happening all of a sudden?

I can't even access the Google Playstore, GMail, or Google Photos on my phone anymore.

I have force closed, cleared data, cleared cache, uninstalled, reinstalled... nothing works...

I am ready to give up on this, but I really don't want to have to factory reset just because this decided to randomly bork my phone.

Samsung S8 - Oreo - Stock recovery - not rooted - Only random app I have is YouTube Vanced.

It's not verifying your purchase, you have any pirate apps installed like lucky patcher? They added pirate security the last update. Or just playstore issue not able to verify try clearing its data.

Randomly Substratum started working again, so I just uninstalled all the overlays.

Xiaomi Mi A1 nota work

Hi, greetings from Chile, i purchased Andrómeda Yesterday, i follow steps and the conection was ok, when i apply any theme it seems to install fine, i got a message from substratum that i have to restart the phone, but when the phone restarted, the theme Is not running, and only have the stock, and when i go back yo substratum it shows that the theme Is running

Xiaomi Mi A1, April security patch, not rooted,
[prjkt.io] KpChuck:
I think that after the reboot you need to go into substratum's manager tab and enable all the overlays from there. Then maybe another reboot and it should all work.

[prjkt.io] Tankarddd:
Good afternoon everyone. Himself to blame, that recently could not run the substratum. Disconnected some Google services, not applications! Because of this, it did not work.

Thank you all for your help!

The question. It turns out the theme update. Is it necessary to change the layers on the application (it is written update is available) Or does the update layering affect anything?
[prjkt.io] claus34:
I don't understand why all have so many trouble with Andromeda, I have installed it and all works fine, only the problem is if a app update I must update the style in substratum too. I use the black /dark style for Samsung oreo and looks perfect for me.

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

LG isn't fully supported in Swift. The experimental is only 3rd party apps so you'll not get system apps themed. I know there is a theme called Alpha for LG by Mark Bencze here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.markbencze.alpha

Only one I know of that works. I tried making one but I need a device and will get one soon to support LG but it's not possible to do without a device. To much differences with LG then other phones.

Try uninstalling both subs and Andromeda, reboot and install them again. Think you have a cache bug.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

Try using the .bat file. Extract the zip then click on the start Andromeda script file. Might need to download the other zip. The one you have used Java and might need it updated to work. .bat doesn't need Java.

[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
If custom recovery flash recovery zips

If no

Look back a few pages for adb recovery commands to fix

Here they are:

How to fix System Loops with pc no root adb:

In the Andomeda folder Right click holding shift, click "Open command window here"

Type this:

1. adb shell cmd overlay list

2. adb shell cmd overlay disable <package.theme.options.androidversion> example android.Sprite.BlackNotifyBGAccentTextBlueBerry.SammySungOreo name from the list

3. all overlays with [x] in the front are enabled.

Note Android and Systemui are most common issues that would need this.
[prjkt.io] TastX128:
Thanks for the quick answer. Unfortunately I don't know much of these things. What do I have to do on my phone ? And the command in Powershell doesn't work :/
[prjkt.io] djdarkknight96:
It's already on your PC in the Andromeda folder. Only need to follow the directions with phone connected and on. It can be looping and still use adb to cancel the overlays. Once you finish the screen will fix itself no reboot needed it happens right away. If you have specific questions please ask.
[prjkt.io] TastX128:
Thanks, I ran the command but it says

error: device unauthorized.
This adbd's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set; try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

[prjkt.io] Nosferatu.:
Okay I'm going to play with this on my Galaxy Tab S3 (Oreo build). This will be my first device using substratum without root and without TWRP. What happens if you apply a theme that causes the device to go AWOL. For example, if I theme System UI and it doesn't take and it continues to force close how do you recover? On my other devices it's easy just flash the substratum rescue in TWRP. Obviously not an option on a non-rooted stock device.

I had intended to just come back and say thanks, and that still is what I'd like to do...you've made my Note8 feel like my phone now instead of just something I have to use and it was crazy easy to make work. I really appreciate what you all have done here, so thanks.

Unfortunately, I do have another reason for posting...since I installed Andromeda/Substratum and the theme, Google. Play won't install or update any apps. It just crashes as soon as I click install or update. I don't fully understand what the apps change, so I have no way of telling if there's a possibility it's the culprit messing up installing apps.

I've tried Force Stopping and Clearing Data of the Play Store and I've rebooted a couple of times.

Anyone have any insight and could help me get this resolved?
[prjkt.io] seanskiT!:
If you read back a few pages you'll see. You can connect your device to a pc and use adb to correct.
[prjkt.io] PhreighnQ:
You might need to rebuild the overlay for the play store. If you can't connect to Andromeda right now to rebuild it, you can use offline mode in Substratum to disable the overlay for the play store.

I have an un-rooted Note 8. I've been using Substatum and Andromeda forever now. Curious to know why I no longer need to activate Andromeda on my PC anymore. I can update and build themes without it. Did I miss something? Is Andromeda no longer required?

Also it now requires me to install all the overlays manually. As well as uninstall them manually.

This is not a complaint on my part either as I like the fact that I no longer have to be at my PC for Substratum to be updated or modified. Just curious if this is an intended function that I missed an announcement for. Or should I be concerned?
