Anyone managed to run Substratum properly on this device? The Java application by andromeda is not picking up my phone.
Subtratum on 8.0
- Thread starter aiem
- Start date
I am still waiting on the US firmware otherwise I will let you know. This was going to be the first thing I tried because of Andromeda.
Edit: Andromeda works perfectly! I paid for the app and I was able to theme my phone pretty similarly too Pixel. However the status bar icons do not edit and the lockscreen cannot be edited. (I believe it is because of Xperia ROM changing those already).

Andromeda doesn't turn on. Substratum keeps asking to connect to desktop client although i already have
Works perfectly for me. Use the script. The Java app is broken
How to do this? I installed the substratum, but when I run it, it says that my device not supported.
For me it works as long as i stay connected with my usb cable to pc. Once i disconnect the cable i get "not connected" and i need to use again the script to make it work
andromeda says it's connected, but substratum keep asking for desktop client connection.
I dont quite have that issue but the issue that I have is that when I reboot it says that it needs the desktop client. It does work but only up until I reboot. It seems many people are having different issues with it. Im using commercial and journalists rom, maybe different firmware roms play differently with it for some reason. I need to flash a customised UK version of oreo anyway. But thats my issue with it. Then I have to run the script again.
Thats how it's supposed to work, read the FAQ on the Andromeda thread here on xda.
Oh well thats abit annoying then. Oh well if its supposed to happen I cant fault it. As for the other issues I cant see why others would have the issues and others like myself wont. Maybe it could just be down to different region firmwares. Maybe different model devices im using G8141. Thanks for pointing that out for me anyway. I guess ill have to deal with that.
No, Substratum and Andromeda works on non rooted devices
This page should help you out. It works for me
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...s-and-mods/substratum-andromeda-xz1c-t3684617
It's not an issue nor is it a bug. It states on the substratum thread that on reboot or some other circumstances, the andromeda process is killed, hence it needs to be reconnected via pc. It's the only limitation. But with the advantages it brings, it's a non issue.
Here are the instructions

I know someone already told me at the top of this page. Thanks for that though anyway.
