[PC/MAC/LINUX] The official, full Andromeda thread for Substratum [Android 8.0.0+]

[Bobthahog]

Hi All, So frustrated...the process is straightforward yet I have tried it several times without success.
The problem is that even after running the batch file the connections status stays "Disconnected". I have ran adb commands to my phone before with Minimal ADB (for immersive mode), so I know the phone connects and the drivers work.

I have ran the Andromeda's batch script file this two ways (dont know if this matters)
- while having the Minimal ADB & Fastboot installed
- after installing ADB with the 15-sec ADB Installer, I uninstalled the Minimal ADB first

The command window appears and disappears too quickly so I cant provide a screenshot with the contents. One thing I've noticed is that after running the batch file the device connection appears as "unauthorized". However, I can get it back to reconnect by unplugging and replugging the USB cable back.

I have tried to uninstall-reboot-reinstall (Substratum and Andromeda) and uncheck-reboot-check USB debugging (OEM unlock is unavailable in my phone). No success. Dont know what else to do :`( Any ideas???

Running Galaxy S9, Android 8.0, Tmobile, Snapdragon on original stock theme. Windows 10.0 Home (build 16299).

When you click on the batch file to start it don't run it as administrator, just click open. Sorry if you've already figured it out.

I really hope it will be possible in the future to update overlays without tether, this is really a pita because of the amount of updates for just Google apps that are released. Having to tether and reboot 2-3 times to just update apps multiple times a week is a little excessive. Even the Play Store and other major built in apps get updates very frequently. sometimes multiple times a week. This is a problem with the play store especially because if its update it breaks updating for all apps until the overlay is uninstalled.

I just wish Google would release a black theme, seriously how hard is it to do this for at least just the Google branded apps.

Here here, dark mode I would love.

And

They just release tetherless mode sungstromeda mode. Can build enable and uninstall overlays without pc on Samsung. For now only Samsung. It's legacy mode so is different to install overlays but no PC needed.

Is your Wifi icon themed from your theme or is that how T-mobile's looks?

Thank you devs/contributers for the update that allows Andromeda to connect without a PC using root! I was previously using a Tasker shell script to do this, so I'm glad it's built-in now

Thanks again!!

How can I install the overlays all at the same time like in the video? When I install overlays I have to press install one by one on every overlay.

Since the latest update of Substratum when I run the batch file it completes like normal then when I go into the substratum app it only shows 2 overlays instead of the full list under manager, can't uninstall my overlays and not sure how to fix this.

I am surprised that this came out for Samsung devices before even stock Pixel devices. It also will not work with Oreo on Samsung devices, so that is a pretty small subset of users. The overlays work well when I did use them, there are just too many variables that can affect them. Also when items like the Google Play services had updated and broke play store updates, I would not even know this until I went into the play store and tried to update/install an app.

I hadn't seen anything posted, but is this working with the P DP2 beta? I hadn't heard if Google had listened to our pleas as of yet so I figured I'd ask.

Hi all, this is a simple series of clean up commands for when you migrate to the new version of Substratum 990+, AND are on a Samsung device.

Newly compiled overlays will be readily visible on 990+ on Samsung + Andromeda users.

These commands are to be run INSIDE adb shell!

Uninstall all INACTIVE overlays:

for item in $(cmd overlay list | grep '\[ \]' | sed 's/\[ \]//');do echo ${item} && pm uninstall ${item};done

Uninstall all ACTIVE overlays:

for item in $(cmd overlay list | grep '\[x\]' | sed 's/\[x\]//');do echo ${item} && pm uninstall ${item};done

Uninstall all INVALID overlays:

for item in $(cmd overlay list | grep '\-\-\-' | sed 's/---//');do echo ${item} && pm uninstall ${item};done

Hello! I do not understand anything ... I wrote earlier about the connection problem
Updated the Google Play Market substratum. To andromeda is connected, via baht
He does not want to substratum. Though with the root at least without them. Previously, everything worked. And after the last algorithm I can not start at all. There are no pirated programs. He demolished all topics and substratum from andromeda, reinstalled
