Substratum - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

has anyone gotten substratum to work? i can not get it to work with andromeda installed also (rootless). it starts up but it says it is not connected with andromeda even though andromeda says it is connected. and even when i unplug it from the pc andromeda continues to say it is connected. heh.

Pie only allows Substratum to run on rooted devices even with Andromeda so well have to wait for root,,,hopefully soon.

substratum being annoying!

Guys how do I fix this? I open up substratum and it keeps giving me this message saying I'm on a compatible oreo device so I should get Andromeda.... But the thimg is I went and bought Andromeda app and then that doesn't let me change themes from my device either I'm rooted so I don't see the problem why won't substratum let me use it? It used to work even on Oreo! I'll post a pic to show

Fixed the issue. I lost root due to ota and even after getting root back it wasn't working but then it's because substratum was checked in magisk hide and also you have to uninstall Sun and then reboot then re download and it should ask you for root permission and it should work

Yes, you can use andromeda.
There's plenty of guides if you google for it
Andromeda kind of sucks, especially if you are used to using Substratum with root. Using the non-root Andromeda method you can't even open the Substratum app on your phone unless it's connected to your computer. Sometimes when an app updates in the Play Store the theme overlay will cause the app to crash. When that happens you have to remove and then reinstall the overlay--which cannot be done using the non-root method until you can connect your phone to your computer. The affected app can't be used until then because you can't open Substratum to disable the overlay.

Strongly agree with you. BUT we should appreciate developers (Ozone, Andromeda and Substratum ) to make it 90% possible for non-rooted phones. Its not a small work... [And that's why its paid and it will be]

When using Substratum rooted or not, ALWAYS and i say ALWAYS disable auto updating apps in the Play Store. You can manually update all your apps when a update for the theme you are using gets pushed. That way all your apps will always be themed without issues, crashes etc. Ofc using Andromeda isn't ideal, but if you want to be unrooted behind a locked bootloader, that is your best option. Maybe Google will do something for Android P to not eliminate the need for connecting to a pc. Another good tip for using Andromeda is if you reboot remember to fire up the desktop client and enable Substratum.

Themes not applying when using rootless substratum.

DISCLAIMER: I'm new to Android and I have no idea of some tech android stuff (e.g. ADB etc) please do dumb down your answer for me. thanks
I just paid for Andromeda and and then did the process that you do on the laptop. I downloaded ozone substratum theme and selected all the overlays (I think that's what they're called?). I clicked on build and enable option and the phone did its thing. after it was completed, substratum said to reboot the device to make the theme to show up. I reboot the phone but nothing has changed and I mean literally nothing. I used ozone because I was told it is 100% compatible with oxygenOS. I don't know what to do now. I did try some other themes but still had no success. I'm using OnePlus 5t on oreo beta 12. sometimes when the phone is downloading the overlays, it says 'substratum could not connect to the andromeda backend' and then gets stuck. everytime this happens I just force close the substratum app and try again and then it starts working. thanks for your help.

When you reboot your device, andromeda loses connection and you will need to run the PC commands again.

Yh I know that. After I reboot the device nothing changed. So one of the many things I did was to run the PC commands again to see if it had worked. However nothing changed.
Go to Manager and make sure that all applied themes are enabled. then reboot.

Uconnect App on Pie

Pixel 2 XL on 9.0
Bootloader Unlocked
TWRP Recovery
Rooted via Magisk 17.1
The Uconnect app for my Jeep no longer functions because the new version for Android 9.0 checks for an unlocked bootloader or root. When trying to login to the Uconnect app, I receive a popup that states I'm using an unapproved device. When contacting the developer, they claim that it's because my device is a security threat. I've tried Magisk Hide to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Same thing here too. I have an older S6 Edge + running a rooted Android 7.0 with Magisk 17.1. Magisk Hide doesnt fix it as well.
having this issue as well with the latest uConnect app. Pixel 2XL is rooted and unlocked. I loaded the latest stock firmware 9.0 and tried the uConnect app prior to rooting and it works on my end, but still a no-go once Magisk is installed. I even tried the magisk hide and the module that can alter prop to further hide magisk and no go. I think it may be that it is looking for root and is awfully good at finding it. If anyone can get this to work, would be great! I dont get why FCA is so worried about root. One would think that since we have to go through a VERY specific sequence to get root and unlock the bootloader, that we would have quite a grip on what goes on with our phones. Anyways, if someone comes up with something......
Uconnect is detecting Magisk Manager. You have to uninstall it in order for Uconnect to work.
Well that sucks
I ran into something like this, but it was because I had an old version of the app. I uninstalled Uconnect completely and re-installed. After the re-install it was a new blue colored logo instead of the black one and has a different layout.
Not sure if this is the same problem, but figured I'd mention it.

And you are rooted?

I tested root and non rooted. Both seemed to function fine for me. I initially thought rooted might be the issue for me, but it ended up being the old app.
Fresh install from play store gets me this.
Perhaps see if you can hunt down an older version apk and sideload that. That happens to me from time to time. Always has. Across different devices.

Sadly, if I install an older version it prompts to update with no way around it... If anyone knows a version that works please post here.
Wondering if a logcat would help to pinpoint the issue and assist the magisk developer with a fix.

The old (black) version of the app doesn't work with 9.0
Very discouraging
I am using black version for now this is very discouraging though. The new app version would be nice working because the black looks as though they won't be updating it anymore.

I am on 8.0. Though I read somewhere someone said to hide the magisc manger with random name and it worked after clearing app cache. I'm happy and thankyou.
Same issue on my OnePlus 5T, the Black Icon version cannot connect to the network on Pie and the new Blue Icon is detecting something. I think it detects the unlocked bootloader, I tried to repackage Magisk Manager and it had no effect.

why does a car/radio company care what a joke glad i dont have a car with unconnect
OK boys and girls. I think I found a fix. might not work for all of you, but I got the App to load and let me in.
I'm running the latest Pie version, Magisk 18.1 (Riru - Core v16, Riru - Ed Xposed) and XPrivacyLua (xposed module)
in XPrivacyLua for the Uconnect App, I restricted, Get Applications. Uconnect Logs in.

substratum themes not working

Okay so everything was working fine up until yesterday. Then i uninstalled a theme and applied it again with a different accent color, and it didnt apply. I tried it with other themes and overlays and they werent compiling either. I tried uninstalling all overlays and now i cant get any themes to work. It says compiled without any errors when i build it but after i reboot my device theres nothing there, the theme hasnt applied at all. Anybody know what happened??
If your running a custom rom than it is probably sue to the system partition being full and therefore Substratum cant work.

Im on stock android 9.0
Well then thats def weird my themes run perfect so far. Are you making sure that you go back into Substratum manager and enabling all overlays that you previously built after rebooting?

Thats the problem, after i reboot nothing shows up in the manager, they never compiled even though it says compiled without any errors before the reboot
Hi there,
I'm facing the same issue at the moment... @op did you find the culprit?
Cheers...
Same here. Anytime got any ideas? Magisk installed, root granted, stock 9.0. Themes compiled and visible in Substratum. I install overlays, see nothing in Manager tab (which is normal), get no errors, reboot, and still nothing in Manager tab.
