*** ONLY DO THIS FOR TESTING PURPOSE ***
Those who have got the MM update, could you please check whether uninstalling Facebook app via Titanium makes your auto rotation to stop working? Some say it doesn't, some say it does.
I took a screen record while uninstalling it, make sure you are doing the exact same steps. For the record, uninstalling ONLY the apk is enough to mess it up, I still went on and removed the other Facebook system stuffs out of frustration.
Please comment.
I always uninstall Facebook & "company" and other trash again, and never had problems with rotation on kitkat , lollipop and marshmallow.

Have you solve it?
It seems that is true, and after flashing the stock rom and uninstalling lot of bloatware (except all the facebook stuff) auto rotation works now.

Yes, by re-flashing the stock ROM[emoji23]And then not touching those Facebook related craps.
PS:
@HDxDaniel
Could you tell me whether you have uninstalled any of these apps? Because I don't use these! S Voice isn't listed as it's a system app, I don't use that either.

I uninstalled most of those apps except Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Play newsletter and maybe another app too.
I noticed one thing today, if you use an app like System App Remover, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en
, then uninstall Facebook and other craps, then the rotation works normally. So it could be Titanium doing something crazy here, don't know!
I have the same problem (or I think so), I removed Facebook and Instagram applications with titanium backup and noticed my screen can't auto-rotate now
Anyone can upload the libgnustl_shared.so file ? I don't feel like flashing the whole system file again...
Thanks

After flashing the zip from the first post of this thread, the screen rotation is working again, seems like removing Samsung hub with titanium backup messed things
It looks like only reflashing the stock FW will help
I had the same problem tried every possible solution in this forums none worked
Maybe titanium or i flashed ios emoji for google keyboard!! But that never happened when was on Lollipop!! Now back to Odin
lol

Somebody, give this man a medal! Saved my butt reflashing ROM again. Just copy to system/lib change permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot. You think it's caused by Titanium Backup? In that case? We should notify them.
yeah..... I got this too 2 days ago.
I uninstall some bloatware, including facebook with titanium backup.
then I realize that screen rotation doent work anymore.
I check the gyro, gravity, accel sensor. all works fine, but screen rotation wont work.
So I restore my backup ROM, and everything is fine again.
and yeah.... I just tried uninstalling facebook again, but this time I use System App Remover https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en
auto rotation is still works.
Same here... I've done some testing removing bloatware and it's Titanium Backup's fault... I had to reflash the custom rom I'm using several times to reach this conclusion...
I had the same problem, & for whatever reason that version of the file failed to work for me. I had success with this one, following the same steps. https://www.4shared.com/file/ivpHIjBNce/libgnustl_shared.html

Out of curiosity, where did you get that file from?
I've just made a flashable zip with my working libgnustl_shared.so so I can replicate the issue later on and see if this solution works for me...
I downloaded this rom, extracted the zip, & copy pasted libgnustl to system/lib & changed permissions. Hopefully the individual upload will save someone else 1.49gb
The other version of libgnustl that was posted here didn't work for me, I tried it 3-4 times. My phone is a N910T.
It was a happy accident- I was planning on following someone else's success of extracting system.img.ext4 & flashing that file with skip soft, or more likely reverting to stock before I thought 'what if...'
A big thank you to everyone who shared the info to finding a solution

How many levels of compatibility does this have? Sorry, couldn't resist. Specs sound good, more choices are always great! Rock on!

super fast, however: i see that there's a cifs.ko in system/lib/modules that doesn't seem to like cifsmanager. am i missing something here or was cifs support nit included in this build?

Nice
First of all, thanks to all the devs that put time and knowlegde into these great roms. This is a speedy rom, but miren browser kept freezing my tablet and forced me to reboot. The final time it froze, the tablet is completely unresoponsive... just going to let it die and play around with this rom a little more. I definitely have a problem with miren though.
After waiting 5 minutes, give or take, my tablet did shutdown. Just restarted and since I installed this rom, my hard home button does not function. The other buttons work great, but the home button does not. All the soft keys work. Tried the titanium backup market fix to no avail. Never got market to give me an error. Love the rom... Keep up the great work
Content on sdcard - Garbage after reboot
Not sure if this is just me or something in the ROM. After a reboot, it took more than 5 minutes to finishing scanning user internal storage. The notification indicated "Checking Sdcard for Errors". After this finished, all of my data is just garbage. I have switched between CM7 and VTb5.1 without problems.

Thanks. For the market, go to Settings>Appilcations>System Appilcations and Clear the Cache for the Market and Force Close it. Then go down to Google Services Framework and do the same. Then go to the market and you should get the force close. Reboot and you'll be up and running.
for the market to work correctly the last part about the google framework is incorrect. instead of clear cache you need to clear data instead. then force close, open market, receive error, and reboot.
should be good to go then...

Excellent rom
I'm taking it for a spin and so far so good.
Got Market to work with your fix... Thanks!
I usually run TnTlite 4.1 but decided to give this a try.
nvflash, wipe everything and start from scratch as usual.
clockworkmod .8
installed this rom without any problem
titanium backup opens, gets superuser permission as usual, then I am greeted with the following message:
BusyBox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root: "whoami" reports "whoami: applet not found" instead of root/uid0. I think your "Superuser Whitelist" system app does not work. Please check with your ROM provider.
I tried reinstalling this rom but get the same message, any ideas?
edit: also the search and home buttons do not work anymore
I had this problem. It asked if I wanted to fix it. I did and then everything worked fine. See if that works for you. Anyone have a fix for the hard home button yet?

Really liked this one, but for some reason the home and search buttons don't work. Settings and back buttons work occasionally. Any fix?
My rooted phone crashed the other night - wouldn't boot passed the Galaxy S screen. So I wiped it clean.
When I tried to install a program, the Package Installer was missing from the list of actions.
I flashed back to stock ROM.
It's still not showing up in my actions menu.
When I go to settings/applications/ALL - it shows Package Installer at 0.00B.
What the heck?

Never heard of that website and it keeps timing out on me.
You're better off using the video linked above to Odin back to stock. This will erase all your data, so either start from scratch or back up your apps and whatnot.
Bad news...I followed the instructions from your suggested video.
Put on SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar
Still...the Program Installer doesn't show up on the ACTIONS menu!
It goes Music, then Phone, the gTalk Settings....
Grrrrrrrrrr.
Any other ideas?
So are you trying to side load an application? Meaning you have "Unknown sources" checked under the Settings > Applications menu, and have an apk file to install.
The phone won't install that apk file? Or are you looking for something else to happen when you touch the file on the screen?
If none of the above, then I'm lost at what you're trying to accomplish.
Correct. I'm just trying to load up some apk's that I have on SugarSync/DropBox/SD Card/etc. Unknown Sources is checked.
When I click on the apk - it gives me the action menu. None of those actions is Package Installer. It used to be there, now it isn't. I've loaded all my programs this way in the past.
I tried Odin again and put on the EC05 tar file. Same result. No Package Installer listed in the actions menu.
Man, I just don't know. This is my first time reading of such a problem on the Epic forum.
Using Odin and that tar file gives you 100% stock Froyo. You can then install apk files once the "unknown sources" option is selected.
Did you re-install any other applications after using Odin or restore your data? That could be your culprit, which would mean you'd have to start from scratch (aka clean install).
Starting from total scratch.
It's a mystery.
The only thing I installed was SugarSync so that I could get to the files.
I even tried downloading ASTRO File Manager and using their installer that shows up on the actions menu. That used to work to install...but it doesn't anymore. It just sticks.
I guess maybe I need to go to the Sprint Store. Good thing I flashed her
Does your Package Installer show up as 0.00B in the Settings/Applications/ALL menu?

Same Problem
I just bought the Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile and I have the same problem. Well a similar problem. I went to see if there was an OTA update and it says "Install Package not found". So I went to the All list of applications and my Package Installed is 0.00 also. I did notice that a lot of other system apps are 0.00 also. Here's the list of them:

Magic Smoke Wallpaper
Media Container Service
Package Installer
Pico TTS
SD Card test
SIM Toolkit
Sound Recorder
System Update
Terminal Emulator
TTS Service
Voice Dialer
VPN Services
Wifi Comman
Wifi Test
It's a pretty extensive list. I did root it, but I know I had the update problem before I rooted it so I don't think that did anything to it. Hopefully we can figure out why they are messed up for both of our sakes. Thanks!

Wow man... I'm glad you were able to assist the people affected, but the attitude/negative tone is unnecessary. I just saw the post requesting me [or anyone for that matter] to share the files.
I stated that using Odin to go back to stock may be best. He/She was discussing a problem with what many would consider a core function, being able to install an application. Finally, CWM often gives bad flashes, so in my mind it appeared to be a logical suggestion to start with 100% stock and work from there to find the culprit.
I did not share the APK files because I got busy, forgot about the post and missed the request.

HOW-TO FIX DROPBOX on ANDROID L DEVELOPER PREVIEW
This method worked for me, so hopefully it'll do the same for you as well.
1. Download Root Explorer from the Play Store.
2. In Root Explorer navigate to:
Code:
sdcard/Android/data/
3. Delete the com.dropbox.android folder.
4. Next go to your device's root directory (/) and go to:
Code:
/data/system/
5. Delete the dropbox folder.
Just for safe keeping I booted into recovery and to wipe dalvik and cache, rebooted, reinstalled Dropbox and it's been working smoothly ever since.

I actually just managed to get it to work by only deleting sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android
didn't need root, didn't need to do anything in /data/system
Also didn't need to reinstall Dropbox either, it just worked first time after deleting that one folder

I tried the method in the OP a few times, but it didnt seem to work at first. Then I used QuickPic to upload some photos to dropbox, which worked like a charm. Now for some reason I am able to directly use the dropbox app itself with no problems. Not sure exactly what fixed it though. Kind of weird.

Start QuickPic, send file and then run Dropbox. QuickPic let the background.

I was finding the same, nothing was working to get it fixed, but I could still access files in dropbox from other apps like ES File Explorer. However I really wanted the camera upload feature. I installed this old apk and it appears to be working, but I haven't tested to see if the camera upload is working. Hopefully it is... Thanks for sharing the apk.

I have no permission to reply in the actual development thread, so I'll post here for people who run into the same problem. I started with 13S firmware my phone came with and followed the "TWRP+ root + 14S" guide by julianhrojas (thanks!). I had no problem flashing TWRP and 14S. However, Google Play Store won't work, as Google Play services force closes whenever I try to add Google account. I tried flashing multiple times, wiping everything including internal SD as well as different versions of Open GApps (Pico, Nano, Mini...) to the same result. What saved me was the Play Store installer for MIUI devices (2.0) available here:
xiaomitips.com/download/google-installer-app
Note that I installed this APK on a clean install of 14S firmware (I didn't test if it can fix previously flashed Open GApps Pico package).
I was then able to flash SuperSU and get a fully functional root. This allowed me to get rid of all the LeEco bloatware (for now I just frozen most of the stuff with Titanium Backup).
I also flashed Xposed framework ( dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/xposed-v84-sdk23-arm64.zip ) which reports itself as working fine, though I didn't really get to test any modules yet.
I installed Nova Launcher, AdAway and the phone feels really great now!
Great tip....worked for me THANKS
Hey Mate,
I just bought the Le Max 2 from honorbuy. It will arrive in a few days. I really want to have the latest possible stable firmware for this phone and I want to disable some of the LeTV features, too.
Is it possible (with/without root) to disable the LeTV-Feed-Page to the left ? (The one that looks like the HTC BlinkFeed) Also, is it possible to install a rom without any LeTV apps ? And install the normal gApps? (I'd really like to choose a version like I did with my other phones. Because all I need is gmail, playstore+games and maps)
Or is it possible to simply delete the LeTV apps out of the system ? I also bought Titanium Backup, but I want to get raid of them completely.
I am scared of bricking my phone directly when it comes, but I am more scared of a freaking annoying OS. I Hope there is a way to enjoy just a regulär android feeling.
Thanks in advance
I don't even know what LeTV Feed-Page you mean After a few days of using the phone I can confirm that the bloatware can be disabled (i.e. frozen) rather painlessly and without negative side effects. I didn't see any option to modify the middle LeTV docker icon in the stock launcher, so I just went with Nova Launcher. After that I didn't run into any LeEco-system specific apps anymore, unexpected messages in Chinese nor suddenly force closing system apps. Pretty much basic Android experience! No issues with Google Apps. And no need to register LeEco account.
This was done with TB on a rooted phone. I didn't investigate, but I think it is possible to disable system apps even without root, so you may want to check how far that gets you. Also, as a safety mechanism to keep in mind, after you flash TWRP (which is a part of rooting process), you can easily create a full backup image and restore from it if you accidentally mess up something with Titanium Backup.
And yes, you should be able to fully uninstall frozen LeTV apps with TB to reclaim space taken by them. I didn't do that still, so that I can quickly reenable them when I find some feature that doesn't work anymore. But so far, so good.
Hopefully, someone with more skill will be able to prepare debloated ROMs in the future.
I'm attaching pics with a list of LeEco apps that I have safely frozen, should be helpful. Just don't disable LeEco home launcher nor Sogou input (keyboard) until you install their replacements!

Hi all,
A friend has just grabbed one of these. Looks really cool... Interesting with the Type c earphones. Wow!
Anyway, I said, I'd put GAPPS on for him as I do for many other phones.
Quick question for you all - will I need to unlock and root etc? or can I just use the xiaomi option through baidu?
Cheers.

Xiaomi Google Play Store installer doesn't require root. Just download and install the APK.
You beauty. Although, it's never quite that simple when you're in China... VPN's and stuff, but I figured as much. Should be fun to play around with - think I'll get my hands on it tomorrow.
hello sorry for the language use of a translator, I run your guide XPose but it does not work (to the start screen gives me error caricamanto eui) you have info about it? thank you
I've tried the Google installer from Miui but I get stucked on the Google Calendar sync or/and Google calendar. And that's exactly the calender that's not working(syncing) on my le-max 2 with stock 13s and I want to fix.
Do I have to flash and root to 14s? I have no PC so I cannot do that.

I had the same issue but managed to get Calendar sync working once I installed Google Calendar. You can get Google Calendar Sync and Google Contacts Sync APKs from APK Mirror.
I discovered a solution on how to make Google+ work on Phoenix OS. This might enable other apps to work as well, please report your findings.
Instructions:
Download and extract maps-framework.zip
Download latest Google+ APK (I used v9.18.0: APKMirror | Google Drive)
Using Root Explorer or a root file manager of your choice:
Copy com.google.android.maps.xml from the extracted folder and paste it into /system/etc/permissions. Perform a chmod of 644 on the file
Copy com.google.android.maps.jar from the extracted folder and paste it into /system/framework. Also perform a chmod of 644 on the file
To perform chmod in Root Explorer, click and hold on a file, click on the three menu buttons, click on Permissions, press Enter Octal, type in 644, and finally press OK twice. If you're using another root file manager, I could imagine the steps would be similar.
Restart Phoenix OS
Install Google+ APK that you downloaded earlier
Optional: If you want to update it to the latest version, open up the Play Store and update Google+ there.
How I discovered this solution is by trying to install Google+ APK through Lucky Patcher. When I tried to install it, it gave me this error message:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I performed a Google search on "Google Plus install failed missing shared library" and came up with these results which guided me to this solution:

Here's proof that it works:
Astounding work. Thank you so much!
Did you get it to work on your device?
Reinstalling Phoenix and testing today...
Edit: worked like a charm! Also discovered that it would work using the "nodpi" version of G+
It won't recognize that the device is compatible to install it through the Play Store, but it will allow manual installation from APKMirror ^.^
You are a gawd walking amongst mere mortals, good sir.

Thanks for the findings And yeah, initially you have to install it manually, but after you restart your device, you will be able to update it from the Play Store to the new version. And I'm just a regular human, like you and anybody else that's on these forums

And humble to boot
Anyway, I'll keep testing, but I suspect several failed installs are due to this same reason... we shall see.

Cool, hopefully everything works out for you What failed installs did you mention?
At this point I don't recall specifically which others didn't install, but I'll keep you posted if I run into any more.

Sounds good. If I have to, I will also try to experiment modifying the model number in build.prop and see what benefits that will bring. Also, I read online somewhere that installing an older version of Google+ might work without having to copy those two files into /system. I might experiment it if the time is right

Give it a try and see if it lets Instagram install. The worst that can happen is you will be able to install Google+
@meanhacker have you tried any newer gms versions to see if they allow syncing for more apps? I suspect that it's locked down by the devs due to China's restrictions.

I think I did, but it keeps saying that there was an error parsing the package... I will test out more. What about you?
