- Complete Sonolus Guide updated for 2024!
This should cover everything you should know about Sonolus, if you have any questions, you can ask me in the comments. With this guide, you should be able to install Sonolus on both Android and iOS (sideloading and testflight), have them calibrated, and then enjoying the charts.
What this video covered:
- How to install Sonolus on Android
- How to install Sonolus on iOS (TestFlight and Sideloading)
- How to calibrate Sonolus offset
- How to play/use Sonolus
- All of that.
Sonolus is a must have app for rhythm gamers due to its flexibility. Not only can you practice and analyze charts, you can also play charts from other games, and custom charts. This makes for an excellent app for anyone who loves rhythm games. (This sounds like I asked ChatGPT to write this description but I promise I wrote this myself. I might even be an AI.)
Project SEKAI, BanDori, SIF charts are fun. They are extra fun when you get custom charts.

IVE LITERALLY BEEN USING SONOLUS FOR OVER A YEAR AND I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE MARKER OR LEVEL SPEED FEATURES UNTIL NOW???? THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!! I shall return after i finally FC bouken no sho on expert.
update: im still working on bouken no sho, but i was able to FC palette ni wa kimi ga ippai on master using this method!! why they dont have a "practice mode" like this in the game itself is completely beyond me lol
you got this!!!
You forgot to mention a good option for those with small cell phones:
"Lock Stage Aspect Ratio"
When this option is disabled, the Lane will become larger
you're right. thank you!
where can I find this option?
i only play bandori, d4dj, and proseka, but this looks good
My holy trinity

OMG?? THANK YOU SO MUCH???
Literally might become my new fav app lmao
This is an underrated video!!
thank you 😁
One thing that I miss back from when I was using an android device was that you can download 3rd party apps with ease unlike on iOS
lol thanks for reminding me there were spots open for the thing so I have sonolus now!
Thankyou for clarifying that Server offset.
I cant for my life play without sfx
LOVE LIVE MENTIONED🔥🔥🗣🗣‼️

@@Becoming.potatoesdid you even watch the video??
@@Becoming.potatoesbro it literally shows you how to download it in the video on ios 😭😭
Oh this is my dream come true. I've literally wanted to try proseka for the longest time but the gacha aspect of the game repels me. Thank you for the video!
might try this out since i cant get sekai to work on my phone even through sideloading just to try out the game
thanks sega
SAKI MENTION, GREAT VIDEO
off topic but i really like your voice, its so nice :)
thank you!!
wtf nice marble blue append ap!!!
i wish that was real 😅😭

@@biriamu teehee

more incoming 😌
This seems way too complicated, but I love it!
thank youuu🥰🥰
OMG IM SO HAPPY YT RECOMENDED ME THAT I FINNALLY FOUND ANOTHER SAKI TENMA FAN
that looks really fun (i love pjsk)
oh I wonder if they have Ride Zero charts. Might have not been the best mobile rhythm game but it's got a special place in my heart
hard to say, but maybe the songs from Ride Zero could be added as custom charts.
🤝 Thanks
his voice is now mine(it's so good😭😭)
I’ve been trying to do TestFlight for literally a year. It’s never not said ‘this beta is full.’ 😭 so I’m screwed I guess (no sideloading possible)
They have a set schedule for open slots on TestFlight. I recommend you head over to their Discord server to see the dates (new slots are opening up very soon).
@@biriamu I had no idea this whole time 💀 thank you so much!!!
"save to play locally without be online"
THAT ALL I NEEDED TO HEAR
I've been playing MarbleBlue [Re:Master] on the Cyanvas Chart server and it's very difficult, even though I've lowered the speed level to 90%, maybe because I often play using my thumb and it's very difficult to adapt to using 4 or more fingers (append diff)
YESSIR ANOTHER RYTHM GAME (I’m still gonna play pjsk a lot though XD)
i’ve had to jump through so many hoops to figure this out, thank you for making a video on it!! btw, what happens when your access expires after a week (3:05)? do you have to repeat the entire process again?
I believe if you have your computer running it should be able to resign itself every week. Though to be safe you can jump into the AltStore app every 6 days to refresh the expiration date.
This video was super helpful! I got Sonolus today and have been enjoying it a lot! I've been having trouble with slides though, they're very unresponsive compared to in project sekai. ive tried adjusting the "slide quality" and "guide quality" in config, but i cant tell if its making it better or worse. Do you know what exactly it is those settings do?
hmm I'm actually not sure! I tried those just now and they don't seem to make any considerable difference in gameplay. maybe mess around with the offsets to see if the sliders improve
Thanks! I’ve been testing more with offsets and noticed the issue with the slides and holds mostly only applied to charts in the “Potato Leaves” server which wasn’t featured in this video. Have you used that server before? If so, do you know what exactly is the difference between it and the Cyanvas one? It has many good charts but the gameplay does seem a little bugged.
@@zura3962 I think Potato Leaves came earlier so that could explain why the server feels kinda lacking (in terms of features). Though Potato Leaves and Chart Cyanvas both use the same engine (PJSekai+) so I would assume the gameplay shouldn't differ too much between each other.
I think I kinda get what you mean with the sliders because they are kinda unpredictable at times, but after some adjustment with the Audio and Input Offsets it seemed to have improved a little. You can keep toggling them to see if it gets better, but if not you should definitely ask in the Sonolus Discord server if they have a solution 👌
@@biriamu Got it, thanks so much for all your help!
i’ve downloaded it so many times but like the next day i try to open it it says “not trusted” even tho i did that shi yesterday and it won’t show up this time 💀💀😭😭
anyways nice video i would try if my ipad wouldn’t be stubborn 😊
just got sonolus today, thank you.
Thank you for this tutorial! This is completely safe right? Also how much space can this take up on a phone, can it also save to the SD card?
Yep it is safe. You can expect it to take up around 200MB initially, but it will eventually scale up to a couple GBs when you play more songs. There is an Auto Clean function in the Sonolus settings so that it never exceeds a certain amount.
On my phone there is an option to save to SD card but I don't recommend it as it generally decreases performance and it doesn't really save that much storage.
@@biriamu Thanks some much for the info!
Anyone have the link for the idol chart?? I can't seem to search it up 😭
@@peri_snow I gotchu cc.sevenc7c.com/levels/chcy-AdkXc6RBvtmEpfNHPePmuR4
I try to get Sonolus using scarlet bc I can’t use TestFlight, so does using a laptop instead of a computer work????
Yes. I never tried Scarlet but as for my method you can still load AltStore onto your laptop and install it that way 👌
@@biriamu ok thank you so much!
Please help!im trying to log with my Apple ID on the AltStore app but it says ‘operation failed AltStore could not be found’
Do you mean "AltServer could not be found"? Probably has something to do with your computer not being recognized then. Are both devices connected on the same network? If it doesn't work maybe try with your device plugged in. If it still doesn't work then if you are on Windows maybe reinstall iTunes. For some reason it won't work with the Microsoft Store version. I have the download link in the description. If none if it works you can check this Reddit Thread: www.reddit.com/r/AltStore/comments/s6nf8e/cannot_find_altserver_even_when_im_connected/
HM, i wonder what POSSIBLY could be this dudes favorite pjsk character
who could it beeee 🤔
how do we get a testflight invitation code? i tried to do it with scarlet but when i download the sonolus it doesnt show up on my downloads. thank you!
testflight invitations are handed out on a specific schedule. they aren't open now unfortunately, but you can join their discord server to get notified for future testflight availability.
Help for some reason it doesn't wanna like sign into my apple ID on my iPad on altstore & it doesn't wanna like add sonolus either
Guys I disconnected my iPad from it being dumb
It could be a wifi thing? Maybe try switching networks. If not hopefully the troubleshoot guide can help faq.altstore.io/getting-started/troubleshooting-guide
i can't create a sonolus account on android, once i log w my email it doesnt bring me back to the app 😭
Theres no need for an account anyway, you can still play sonolus without accounts
@@mamang3009 i made sonolus charts of my own and i want to publish them, at least do you know how?
@@mamang3009 well, i also created charts of my own for sonolus. how do i publish them?
seems to work fine for me. was there a link or anything to press on to return to the app? maybe ask in the sonolus discord server
how about on slow gadgets? mines keep on lagging ;-;
If you go to the Sonolus Settings you can play around with the Graphics settings to see if that makes a difference (Render Mode and Render Scale for example).
for the side loading method do i need to have an ipad or i can still install it on phone?
iPhone is ok! 👍
@@biriamu how do you connect the itunes with iphone though i mean the UI only shows for ipad
@@whyareyoureadingthis540 it should be the exact same way
GG
Is there a djmax ray server?
Don't think so.
Do you mind me asking what kind of tablet you're using
the android tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+
the two iPads are the 2017 iPad Pro 10.5" and 2022 iPad Pro 11"
@@biriamu thanks so much
Hello good sir, first of all you saved my life with this wonderful tutorial. I hope God, or whatever you believe in blesses you. I hope you live your life like you wanted. Thank you so much bless your family and you. thanks.
DUDE OKAY I COMMENTED AND TRIED THIS AND WORKED LIKE 8 DAYS AGO BUT NOW IT SAYS SONOLUS IS NOT AVAILABLE AND THE SAME GOES FOR ALTSORE HELP????? (IOS)
The app revokes if it isn't re-signed every week. You need to hop onto AltStore once every week to make sure the app is re-signed. Unfortunately I think you're gonna have to uninstall both apps and do it over again. It's a limitation of iOS 😔
@@biriamu BROOOOOOOOO LIKE YOU NEED TO SIGN IN EVERY WEEK ON SONOLUS? IM PRETTY SURE I DIDNT I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD DO THIS AAAAAAA BUT THANK YOUUUYU I MUST DO IT AGAIN…….
The biggest strength of Sonolus
*Their Custom Chart insanity*
God Almighty, one day one of those charters gonna be on the actual Dev Team and we'll be screwed xD
my screen is black in every song and performance test i play, but it still registers misses and greats and stuff. my vertical stage is 0% and i dont find anyone with the same problem. do you know how to fix it?
what device do you have? i searched this up in the discord server and it seems like it's a bug on lower end/older android devices. the devs are having a bit of trouble finding a fix for it unfortunately, but hopefully it gets fixed soon. 🤞
@@biriamu i looked into that and i really think thats the problem. its a galaxy tab a6 from 2015, i think
Is it sure to download sonous sideloading?
yes
How do i trust the ios device on my windows laptop?
If you have iTunes installed make sure it's running. When you plug in your device it should bring up a prompt to trust the device by entering your passcode.
@@biriamu Ok I just had to restart my PC, thanks!
How do i change the level to expert?
ARHFHDHAHDS
If you use the Advanced Search you can filter the results to only show Expert charts 👍
@@biriamu thank you!! Im really enjoying the game
Guys, I have a problem 😭
Even though I downloaded AltStore, I can't sign in with my apple ID and it keeps saying "AltServer could not be found"
Could be a wifi issue. Maybe try it while plugged in?
There's an older Reddit discussion about a similar problem. See if it helps: www.reddit.com/r/AltStore/comments/s6nf8e/cannot_find_altserver_even_when_im_connected/
How much storage does sonolus require??
On my Android it takes ~200MB. It can increase in size pretty significantly if you play more charts as Sonolus tends to store previous chart data (music, skins, effects, etc.) onto your device.
Im wondering how this would work for Ensemble Stars
Someone would have to develop a server for Ensemble Stars first. Unfortunately I don't think there is one just yet, but I hope they add it soon considering SIF (similar-ish playstyle) charts also exist.
@@biriamu enstars server would def help me out with expert and hard beatmaps
What should I do if it says Sonolus has expired
If you can't refresh the app with AltStore you might have to completely reinstall the app again unfortunately. If you don't keep an app signed every week you lose access to the app. This is a limitation of iOS.
@@biriamu Tysm I didn't see the notification and this happened to me
Is alt store safe? It’s just werid that you have to put your Apple information n stuff 😢
It's been around for years now and I've used it a couple times here and there before so it should be safe. Your Apple ID is used in order to sign the app you downloaded (in this case Sonolus). This applies to any app you sideload into your device through your computer. It might seem a little scary but it has always been reliable for me. Hopefully Apple can let us sideload apps normally in the future.
@@biriamu thank you! 🙂
I'm android I have parental control how pls tutorial me
not sure how to help with that 😥 sorry
I can’t get sonolous cause it’s full 😓
If you join their Discord server, they have announced new dates for TestFlight spots opening up soon (~4 days)! Be on the lookout 👍
@@biriamu ok Ty
Every time I try it blocks me out the next day
is there a message or anything that pops up?
@@biriamu it’s basically saying I’m not allowed on it and it’s been a few months since I attempted to get it so I can’t remember exactly but it just kicks me out the next day unfortunately
So I’ve basically given up lol
is this with sideloading? you might have to uninstall everything and redo it all
Great video btw, but why you always say "huh" before you talk like youre out of breath lol
shortness of breath 🥲 i'm working on it
Sooo... This is just a fanmade Psekai? I see that there is some function to play other game variations but how does that work? is there an explanation somewhere?
You can play charts from other games by adding different servers. You can find them in the Sonolus Discord server (link in the description). Simply copy those server links into the app like how I added the Project Sekai and Chart Cyanvas servers.
i think bro likes saki
i think so too
2:06 “not charging”
usb port not supplying enough power lolol
Sonolus is similar to pjsk
Bro sounds like that one Minecraft CZcamsr 😭
(I love it)
Disclaimer: Title only applies to mobile/tablet rhythm gamers (I play osu!, but I might try downloading this for fun!)
a must have app for "project sekai" players.
not necessarily. there's a bunch of other servers for sonolus that have charting for other games.
@@biriamu (I was making a joke considering the content shown in the video)
Saki.
Saki!
but what about... copyright
copyright in what way?
God it kind of hurts seeing the installation section being that long and it's just ALLLLLL the iOS stuff. Apple continues to be a terrible plague upon mobage and unpopular/dead game fans even when the games aren't on their store.. ( I will NEVER forgive what they did to kakupuri.)
E
E!
Good day to use an android
