But if you reboot and want to add more overlayers you will need to plug back to pc , it's required once a reboot to plug in after that you don't need to plug in and keep opening Substratum, only if reboot you plug in once every reboot, plus overlayers stick after reboot.
[prjkt.io] Craig_D:
I think I follow what you're saying. So, only need to reboot if I build & enable any NEW overlays but not if you're just disabling & enabling existing overlays?

There was a systems tweak sub in Nougat that enabled you remove icons from the status bar and centre the clock etc I used to like removing the battery icon and centering the clock. How is possible to that now with Andromeda?
[prjkt.io] ggrant3876:
I have center clock with this.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=substratum.draco.systemmods

And you can remove battery percent and animation with it too.

If you want battery icon gone you have to use this, need to do several adb commands to give the app permissions.

[prjkt.io] imucarmen:
Just be patient. It takes a bit of messing with to get everything working. Basically, you have to build and enable, restart, go to the manage tab in substratum and select the things you built before and choose 'change overlay states'. That should apply everything.

I've got Compound, Swift dark, Flux dark, and Pi dark, to all work with no weird UI color issues. It's just important to do the steps properly or you'll have some issues.

Yes. Once it's applied everything sticks until you either disable, uninstall, or change it.

(and check status not show anything)

[prjkt.io] disturbd1:
Will the need to be tethered via USB always be present? It's really annoying to have to rely on that to update/install overlays.

Also, since I only use Swift (Black) I can't speak to all overlays out there, but why in the name of [insert deity of choice] does the "Build and Update" function not work? Like, ever. No matter how meticulously I ensure to only check boxes for items previously themed...it goes through the motions, no errors...and voila! All theming is removed! I then have to uninstall (not disable) every single overaly - which for me is a few dozen, and time-consuming - then reinstall the lot of them from scratch. Since app developers tend to push updates as often as once every 1-2 days, this process becomes extremely cumbersome.

I don't want to come across ungrateful for the work that's been put into the Andromeda project or the Swift team. But I can't be alone in these experiences either, since my Note 8 is otherwise "stock".
[prjkt.io] Pkt_Lnt:
No, only if you reboot, otherwise the beta keeps connection.

t.me/substratumci

t.me/ProjektAndromeda

Now, build and enable, reboot, go to Subs/Manager and enable overlays, reboot. (this solution has been posted above numerous times by others who have gone through your same experience and searched out the solution)

Also not that not all Subs themes support Samsung and there shenanigans to lock down users.
[prjkt.io] Venom0642:
Get Telegram then go here // substratum ci //

- Go into Settings, Developer Options, Force Authorize Theme Systems

Uninstall the Substratum from Playstore install latest from telegram that channel Substratum updates a lot there so keep it as your channel after you uninstall Substratum and your overlayers you had install the latest from telegram then install your overlayers after reboot and now your overlayers will stick after every reboot, but still after every reboot you still once after to plug in USB to pc to open Substratum.

I used the Mac client, and everything seemed to work fine...up to activating overlays. I installed some themes, but after building and applying, I got nada. Nothing showed up in the theme manager either.

This morning, I repeated the process on a Win 7 PC and it's working great now. I was surprised the themes held after a reboot, I thought they required reapplication...bonus!

I could never get Substratum to work so well on my rooted Note 4.

Can confirm
[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
Andromeda v20 has been rolled out, and we have a key few things that need to be noted!

I would like to clarify that the sneak peek of Andromeda and root a few days ago was not designed to be a way to replace rooted substratum builds, or to convince that root + Andromeda is the way to go.

As a small number of users seem to be using Andromeda on a rooted device, it is simply just one rooted call that executes the same environment as if you plugged your device into the computer. Just like the current rooted Magisk plugins/scripts that require you to execute "su andromeda" by the community in XDA.

To those who used to run masquerade and substratum back in the day, the calling package usually suffered the most because it caused a heavy configuration change due to "assetSeq" code from CMTE. As we are now using direct shell calls, the configuration change is lighter than the previous implementation but still exists, thus, a more reliable way for us was to "offload" the configuration change from the main substratum app.

You do NOT need to (re)purchase Andromeda, and I would personally just stick with rooted mode on substratum for free if you are on Oreo, despite the configuration change explanation above, as Android O's Dynamic Overlays are faster than "assetSeq" and more reliable.

However if you're unrooted, the recommended method is to definitely give Andromeda a try!

One more thing, running the script no longer automatically runs substratum. As we have new plans of the app very soon and it shouldn't just be reserved for substratum!
[prjkt.io] card-us:
Sorry for quoting, but on my phone (Mi A1 Non Rooted) still can't access Substratum (latest ver 983) eventhough my andromeda already say connected (activated via desktop client-Windows) but i still can't open substratum

My Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is Not able to Get Access from Andromeda Pc Script After the latest Update
[prjkt.io] Eduardo.medi:
So what's the correct procedure for updating Andromeda? This is the first time I'll have to update it since I installed it.

I would imagine:

1. Uninstall all overlays

2. Update Andromeda / substratum

3. Update theme

4. Build & enable themes

5. Reboot

Can someone confirm?
[prjkt.io] johny.mnemonic:
Similar issue here. I am using both apps from Play store on my stock Sony XZ1c.

Since updating from Substratum 953 to 983 together with Andromeda to version 20, I am unable tu use Substratum or Andromeda.

Issue seems to be mainly with Andromeda as when I first execute it, it briefly shows the status window and then vanishes. After that when I click it's icon, it either does nothing or goes to homescreen/last used app. Only reboot or sometimes force kill and data cleanup brings that status window again for a blink of an eye and then it vanishes again.

Windows bat script seems to be running fine, but Java app (AndromedaClient-Universal-1.7) is getting stuck at loading state.

The only thing I can think of is that I have Substratum and multiple Android system parts themed by Swift Dark and SX DarkRes, so maybe that is crashing the new Andromeda + Substratum combo.

Is there an easy way to cleanup all themes on rootless phone?

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to mention, that I tried to reinstall both apps and when it didn't help, I even searched net and found apks for Substratum 953 and Andromeda 18, but even installing these didn't solve it:(

I have an essential phone, and it is running android Oreo 8.1.0 I haven't used the Andromeda application in a while. I wanted to change my theme last night, and noticed that the Andromeda app wont open to tell me the status. I have tried reinstalling it, restarting my device, but im out of ideas. I cant change my theme nor will the ADB fast boot BAT file work. Substratum opens fine, but always tells me to check the status. I want to use it, but i cant anymore. Please, help me
[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
Hi all, I have added the updated Java Client 2.0 for Andromeda v20 in the main post of the thread.

Again to note: executing the script DOES NOT automatically launch substratum on v20 and higher, this is for future linking with other apps.

ALSO: If your ADB seems to be acting up, redownload the desktop client. I've had several reports that a redownload works.
[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
What version of Andromeda do you have? Have you updated to the latest substratum and andromeda?
[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
On Andromeda v20, open Andromeda, click the Settings gear and click that option to enable Telegram downloaded "CI" builds.
[prjkt.io] nicholaschum:
I need more information. Why isn't it able to get access?

No need, just update Andromeda and reboot.

Try force closing the Andromeda app to check status. If possible can you record a video of you doing the script execution? I have tested on all 5 of my rig phones and they all ran perfectly.

Don't try to run alternative APKs found elsewhere as those are guaranteed 100% failure. Only install from Play Store and I'll help you.

ATTENTION: Ensure you don't have Lucky Patcher (LP) installed because it seems like it's affecting usage. ALSO if you're in Russia, you will need to use VPN to pass license verification due to Russia blocking random IPs including Google and Amazon, more info here: https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/17/r...amazon-ip-addresses-had-a-precedent-in-zello/

Also on andromeda, i can't find "CI builds" or something onky allow debuggable substratum (when we hit setting gears icon)

Mine seems to go through the whole overlay application and Substratum only crashes when it tries to apply to itself (which i guess makes sense to me).

I'm finding that changing/disabling/going back to stock seems to be a challenge, but i'm still playing around with it.

Edit: so after disabling and then reboot, I am able to get the stock theme back perfectly. I'll be doing that in between trying to switch themes, to make sure I'm not causing any extra issues to the process
