start_andromeda_locally_root

A script to be ran from Android (with root) to enable Andromeda.

Intro

What is Andromeda?

Andromeda is an app that enables you to use the Substratum theme engine on Android 8 Oreo without root.

What does this script do?

Andromeda requires the user to run a shell/adb script with the phone connected to the PC to enable its functionality. This isn't very convenient, expecially when you don't have your computer with you.

If you have root access you can run this shell script directly from your phone to enable Andromeda functionality.

How to

Important: you NEED root access. If you don't, I suggest to install Magisk

• Download andromeda_local.sh from this repository and put it on your phone in an easy to reach location. Some good locations could be /sdcard/ or /sdcard/Documents.
• Install Terminal Emuator for Android either from the Play Store or from FDroid
• Run Terminal Emulator and run su. A pop-up will come up asking you to grant root permissions. Grant them.
• Run sh followed by the full path the andromeda_local.sh script. Example: if I have it in /sdcard/Documents/ I will write sh /sdcard/Documents/andromeda_local.sh.
• (Optional) You may want to close the android terminal using the "X" icon on the top right section of the Toolbar.
• Done, happy theming!
