[Q] Installed CM7 and it's working...a few questions

I am up and running, so I think I did everything right!
However...
Angry Birds won't open. I've installed from Market, from backup, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted...any other ideas?
Facebook app is glitchy.
My Nook app is force closing when I try to open a book...I'm thinking maybe I did something wrong...
Is there a way to remove the phone related apps and references?
I do miss the BN Library Shelves...I think I'll get over that though...or attempt a dual-boot.
Overall, it is so different than what I'm used to that it's a bit intimidating...but I'm sticking with it for a while due to all the over-the-top positive reviews here!

Nook app update...I had downloaded a book and it was in the notification list that it had finished...cleared it and the app is working now.

I know that Facebook version 1.5.3 had bugs that caused force closes on MANY devices. They released 1.5.4 last night to correct these issues, but I have not tested the new version myself. Others have said the app works great now. I downgraded to 1.5.2 which works fine, but I will try 1.5.4 later tonight.
Unfortunately I don't know about the other questions you had so hopefully someone else can help you there

Im no expert, but have you fixed permissions in rom manager? thats been known to stop force closes

I tried to fix permissions, but it says I don't have permission to do so...something's not quite right.

Yes, 1.5.3 caused problems for many. So far 1.5.4 works for me without any problems on my Droid X and Nook Color.

How are you showing phone references? You mean the apps?
If you're talking apps, get root explorer, nav. to system/app/
mount r/w, then add the suffix .bak too app phone related apps (doing phone.apk LAST). It doesn't do anything, but helps some people sleep at night.
mms.apk
telephoneprovider?.apk
phone.apk (will cause force closes...just hard shut down and reboot)
Haven't run into any apps that need these (dropbox used to), but good to keep around.

Try moving angry birds from sd card to "phone" if that is where it is located.

Hmmmm... Strange. Have you tried to boot into clockwork and fix permissions there?

Just want to make sure-- you did format your data & cache partition as ext4 right?

I'm not sure about the ext4...is that something different than just formatting through CWM.
Angry Birds is installed on 'phone' and not the SD card.
I did figure out how to remove phone apps, thanks!
We have multiple nooks so I tried Phiremod's on a different one and really liked it. I ended up reflashing this nook to Phiremod and am so far, really pleased...angry birds still won't load, but I guess we can live without it!

power button and home button problem
I just installed the latest cm7.0.2 build, and I found that my home button does not work...
also, the power button only has reboot and poweroff selections, the other selections in cm7.0.0 were lost...
Anyone saw this problem?
I tried to set the home button settings in ADWLauncher->General Behavior->Home button binding, but it does not work...
anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

I don't have any of those problems. I just flashed 7.0.2 Stable build too.
Did you wipe the Dalvik Cache?
Just a thought.

If Rom Manager doesn't allow you fix permissions, open superuser and make sure it's allowed superuser access.

[Q] Tricking Android Market and avoiding Incompatible App message

Alright guys.
I'm facing some issues here... Facebook has updated or something and now it doesn't show up in the 2.2 Market. 3.4 Market shows it but it says it's uncompatible and I can't install it.
Espier Launcher (another app I like) has two versions. 2.1 shows in 2.2 market. Both show in 3.4 market BUT the first one, even though it says it works for 2.2 and above, the market says it's incompatible.
This is a very big PITA because I'm tired (yes, TIRED) of trying apps that aren't compatible and they work very happily on my Magic, so they should stop the fuss and let us install everything and let us decide if the app works or not... it's not google's problem to solve, but the app developer's instead.
Now, I'm working on this and I need your help. I've had *some* success with making the device think it has GB installed instead of Froyo, however, the market crashes upon loading (the same goes for Maps which randomly FCs upon reboot).
---
On a sidenote, for the ones who go like "Y U USE FROYO D:" go flash my ROM and find out why, and ALSO it doesn't make a difference in this issue so don't tell me that it does because I've already tried this in other CM7-based ROMs.
---
I've found out that some of the build.prop properties (specially ro.build.* and ro.device.*) can fake this out to make some apps available. I've also tried to change the LCD density but it doesn't make any difference. The idea is to find out a good matching fingerprint which works for all apps (or for most, if possible).
I'm willing to give a go at your suggestions and tries and share my findings. That is, if you guys are willing to help me in this endeavour, too .
Any thoughs, suggestions, advice, etc. are greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

I'm having the same problem. the annoying thing is that I used most of the apps that are now incompatible with my device.

Hey, really? That seems to have happened to me too. I wanted to install alarmdroid last night and somehow it didn't appear in the market. I assume it's because it's incompatible now. I mean... WTF?

Hi Darkguy
I hope we can find a solution for this problem.
here is something that looks promising but I could not make it work:

lol, I cant post links yet...
BTW: I love your ROM, me and my wife use it and its fast as hell : good job there...

Me too!
Oh, I've seen that link but I didn't give it much testing. However I'm trying it both with old market and new, clearing cache/data from market/google services framework and such and it doesn't seem to work. At least, NOT that fingerprint. I've tried a GB fingerprint and it causes some FCs on Maps and Market, so there must be something in that fingerprint which doesn't trigger a change or something.
Hehe, I'm really glad you two like and use the rom my ROM makes couples happy, yay XD!

Yes, I've also tried 2.3 Market (which I've just found and I'm gonna use as a new market) and it doesn't do anything.
I've also tried clearing cache/data from GSF & Market prior to testing all these build.prop changes. Something is really effed up there in the market :/

No success
I tried all these changes in build.prop and even tried changing the build.prop before installing the ROM again. this method does not seem to work.
I have 1 question. why do we have a build-SAPHIRE.prop? does it do anything or just a backup?
thanks

I'm looking for info on the Froyo market now. It seems the solutions are a bit different, so I'm trying them out now
Hmn, now that you mention it... I've put it in all the ROMs I've tried or used back when I was editing GingerYoshi and making this ROM because I think it added some info needed for the phone. Looking at it now, it seems to be somewhat of a culprit, so I've removed it and I'm gonna give these solutions another try now, so thanks for pointing it out!
It also seems like clearing cache+data from Download Manager helps too, along with Google Services Framework and Market. Or so I read somewhere

I F***KIN' DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OKAY... it seems that the Market caches data on the server too, associated to your google account.
Now, this problem only seems to appear if you install Market 3 and then go back to Market 2, if you do, the apps flagged as incompatible will disappear no matter what you do. At least, that's how I messed up my market... but I did so AFTER uploading the 0.3.8 U1 so it's weird that some of you have got the same problem.
The idea seems to make Market clear the data once it's downloaded on the phone and by consequence clears it when it synchronizes with the web server (it's just a theory), which seems to fix the issue.
There IS a solution and this is the working one:
1. Go to manage applications, all tab.
2. Go to market, clear cache, data and force stop
3. Go to Google Services framework, clear data and force stop
4. Edit the following build.prop lines to be the following (Some of these lines may already be correct)
ro.build.id=GRJ22
ro.build.display.id=GRJ22
ro.product.name=soju
ro.product.device=crespo
ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys
5. Reboot phone, and give it a bit of extra time to startup before opening the market.
6. Open market, agree to TOS.
7. Go to manage applications, all tab.
8. Go to market, clear cache and force stop (DO NOT CLEAR DATA)
9. Go to Google Services framework, clear data and force stop
10. Open market, and you should get an error. (This is good)
11. Restart phone again.
This is taken from ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133702 ) (THANKS! btw ^^).
Now, following these steps is VERY, VERY important. You must repeat all of them (except editing the build.prop if you've already modified it) until you get the error as in step 10 and reboot the phone. If you can't see the apps again, well the workflow is the following one:
1. Clear all data/cache/etc from market/gsf.
2. Go back to market and see if the LICENSE TERMS appear. If they don't, reboot, clear data, etc. until it does.
3. AFTER the license terms appear, do steps 5-11. The "DO NOT CLEAR DATA" warning is VERY important, else IT WON'T WORK.
Now... for FroyoDragon, I'll post an updated version and a fixed build.prop for ya guys maybe tomorrow or around this week ^_^. YAY!
Also, it seems that removing the build.sapphire.prop file helped in the process of market detecting the build.prop changes, so kudos to badikhi! ^^

Congratz...
This is great news. and I'm always happy to help.
I have 1 request. can you include google talk in the next release of the dragon?
thanks

darkguy2008 (or anyone),
Any idea if this works on other phones, ie Evo 4G? I have seen other posts which edit the build.prop but the changes are specific to a phone.

I had to do this to my phone, a Droid 2. Several apps I used to have would not download again becasue they are now magically incompatable even though they worked just fine before.
Anyway, I went through the steps a few pages up. All I changed in build.prop was model and manufactuer. I changed it to Nexus S, and Samsung. The apps are now showing back up on my phone. However, when I go to market.android.com on my computer, it was still showing as the droid 2. I removed it, but now its not showing any devices for my account, so I can download from the market that way.
Ill give it some time and download a few apps and see if the servers get updated in a bit. But, at least from the phone, this works great.

In theory it should, just as long as you have build.prop. Look at what the guy with the Droid 2 did and it could help your phone too. I'm really impressed to know that it doesn't work on the Evo 4G, which is a fairly recent phone... :/

That's alright, it's good to know the steps worked for you . I might give it a try and change it to Nexus S & Samsung and see if it helps - so it's cleaner that way. Thanks for sharing your results

Hmm, I've got a few doubs now:
Do any of you see Google Talk in the market? along with Facebook, AlarmDroid, Google Maps and such? if you can see those apps, can you share your build.prop? THANKS!
I also have a few questions:
1. Does this happens on GingerBread markets/ROMs?
2. Does this happens on devices which have Froyo or GB as stock ROM? (such as recent devices)?

You can't see Google Talk in the market. It's not there. That's the reason I asked you to include it in your ROM. you have to take it from the gapps zip. If you need a gapps for froyo I can send you the 1 I use with your ROM and it works for me.

Oh, I see. Sure, send it, I'll give it a look ^_^!
But is that normal? I mean, should GTalk appear in the market or are Maps/Gmail the only which should?

Yes I did, but the market's still screwed up so it's a matter of luck. If it doesn't then try the steps here and it should.
Another thing I did was to apply the 160 density update.zip right after flashing FroyoDragon 0.3.9 then went into the market and it seems it did the job, then I went back to 135 and it's still working cool.

oh no, it doesn't work....!!

Xposed for lollipop(working?!?)

It's released
Thread link- here
I got it working..
Post #6

May be we should make a list of what modules are currently working on our lollipop moto e to keep a track.
Some one reported that xinternal SD is working.
This type of list will help all. What do u say??
Any one who got a module working can report here.

I read the comments youtube adway was working,,I didn't tested it on my moto e,will report and update the status soon..
Sure if anyone finds it can report I don't have any problems..

Not working on moto e 5.0.2 tried it yeterday, it flashes correctly via twrp but when u try to install apk it never installs, system becomes very very laggy.

It isnt working.... ie. framework not installing
and side effects are:
-All my apps on sd went missing(after restoring system partition i got it back)
-storage space was low it asked to clear out 250mb of space from system.....
-Lagged (maybe due to the storage issue in system)
anyway some 1 posted this:
Working on my OnePlus one. It wasn't working at first, but I got it by doing this
1. Flash framework
2. Install apk
3. Go back to recovery and flash the framework again

Using nexus 5 , purity ROM (lollipop version) tried two ways:

2.install apk
shows xposedbridge.jar active , app_process doesnt
way 2:
1.install apk
2.mount system
3.flash zip
shows xposedbridge.jar active , app_process doesnt
i understand many people have it , but wrote it so you will save some time doing the steps i did.
EDIT - SOLUTION FOUND :
the solution is to install random modul (i choose chromepie) apply it and reboot - have fun using xposed

Can some1 try this?

It wasn't working when I first installed,I got full storage and phone lagged...
what I do to get it working was to reboot to recovery and factory reset,after reset I rebooted the phone,it took about 10-15 mins,after booting up I rebooted to recovery and flashed the supersu then xposed zip again,after reboot everything was normal no storage space error or anything,I installed the apk and all is working fine as of now..

Thanks mate for reporting. Even i had the lag issue. All apps on sd disappeared and a notification of 250 mb storage or something like that poped up and i went back to KK. I'll flash lollipop tomorrow. And report it here.

some modules that work good right now:
http://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-modules-to-install-right-now-on-lollipop/
App Settings [Lollipop Alternative by rovo89] [1]:
This was by far one of my favorite Xposed modules back when I wasn’t running Lollipop, and certainly the one I missed the most. With this baby you can change DPI per app (which allows you to keep whatever DPI you want on the rest of the SystemUI), as well as the application’s font scale, immersive mode, RAM pinning, and insistent notifications for those that don’t want to miss their valentine’s texts (and lose their heads over it).
Xposed GEL Settings [1][2]:
For those fans of the “pure Google experience”, this module can let you further customize your Google Launcher by letting you hide the search bar or individual applications, change grid, icon and text sizes, remove labels and more. It doesn’t make it quite as flexible as Nova, but it’s definitely a good module to have for those that love the Google integration of their launcher, and the cleanness and optimization of it.
RootCloak [1]:
Some apps detect root and either prevent access or limit your features as a preemptive method for security. While it is understandable some might want to further fortify their application, us XDA tinkerers can be left out of services due to this. This module hides root for the apps you choose, simple as that. We can’t specifically tell you what to use this module for, but if you’ve had problems like this before, look no further.
Advanced Power Menu+ [1]: This module lets you customize the power menu of your phone to add or remove items in any order you want. There are extra reboot options (soft boot, recovery boot, bootloader), a screenshot option, a quick-dial to call whoever, some connection toggles and a handy flashlight. I always have advanced power menus on my phones, and an Xposed module alternative is much easier than flashing additional zip’s. If this doesn’t work for you, the new Lollipop Power Menu module might.
XToast [1]:
This was one of my favorites back then, as it lets you add the Toast notification’s app origin into the message box by adding the corresponding app’s icon. That in itself makes it useful, but you can also customize said icon and add the name, or change the toast style back to older versions. The duration, transparency and where it appears also can be chosen. Basically, toasts are at your control to make them more informative and personal. You won’t know how awesome it is until you try it!
Lollipop Notification Ticker [1]:
This one was meant to restore the ticker on the status bar that informed you of the contents of your latest notifications. It was made before Xposed for Lollipop came out, which was a daring move that worked… partially. According to reports, it breaks heads-up notifications alongside fixing the ticker. If you dislike those in the first place, though, you might want to give it a try.
Native Clip board [1]:
Copying and pasting on smartphones was never the most fluid thing, nor the most consistent. This module adds clip-board management straight to the text-selection menu, and it allows you to theme the new menu, black-list apps and further customize it. If you happen to be working on your phone because there’s a document you might need to edit on the bus, this will prove useful.
BootManager [1]:
A must-have to those that want their device to be slim and efficient on boot. This module allows you to select which applications run when you power up your device, and those that don’t get allowed to do so usually stay dormant until you fire them up. If you’ve got a good amount of things that you don’t need right away but are hesitant to greenify, this can alleviate the dilemma of your user experience.

anybody know how to fix the low storage issues? my phone get laggy
just reflash the root.zip or re-root your MotoE. for me it fix the low memmory issues,

Deleting both caches (cache + Dalvik cache) immediately after flashing before reboot does it for me. Everytime.

I'm stuck on compiling errors and without time to figure it out. If I add a significant amount of themed parts I'll update it.

Empty galaxy rom...
I just wanted to let you know that I have it installed and have been messing with it for about an hour. Everything seems to be running quickly. So far the only thing I have noticed is that it seems to be running a little warm. I will report back with anything else I come across. Good work!!

I've been working on the theme but the ui is new to me. Still finding stuff. Thanks though @ITSAHERO hopefully as it set in it evened out the temp.

Couple questions
Hello there,
I am interested in installing the completely debloated version you did. Is the IR Blaster and the finger print unlocking the device working? Thanks in advance!!

I haven't tried the ir but finger print works. And you're very welcome.
I'll try the ir and report back. I'm in the middle of an install so it'll be a few..
Added
IR: Tested and fully operational

Best rom I've used.

Hi, downloaded the empty ROM on my tab s t700. Personally I'm not a fan of Nova so I tried installing google now launcher but it doesn't work for me? It installs and stuff alright but it just force closes on me. Now, I'm coming to this ROM from ironrom on which I was running google now launcher but I just can't get it to work on here. Am I the only one a facing this problem?

I'll download and try and report back.
Added-
Yes. You're right.
I removed Google search, sometimes I use yahoo so I like it out.
To use Google Now you need to first install Google search and go through initial setup then download and install Google Now.

The OP has been updated and the Empty Galaxy version has been updated to 1.3.
I had hoped to add a theme to it but it's taking more time than I thought to find everything.
If I get to a usable point with it I'll upload.

The rom ive been waiting for.. thanks dev.. what kernel suits best with it? Can you recemmend any?

I've been using the stock kernel so I can't really recommend yet. I'll give what's available a try today.

I'm using sky-high kernel with this rom, I have to say, my tab S 8.4 has never been smoother, almost as quick as my nexus 9.

Is this a US firmware? I have been using it and lost access to wifi channels 12 and 13. The tab could not detect my home network anymore. Europe here... Thx for all the work you've put into this.

Everything has been working well for me with the stock kernel. Great ROM. :good:

My apologies, that didn't even cross my mind. This is a backup ran through a rom kitchen and cleaned up. But it was an ota so I've got to assume it's US. If I get a chance I'll look into it.

Best RoM used yet! Keep up the good work.

Thanks.. I'm not sure where I'm at with development on the tab s. Glad the roms are getting used. I'm still waiting for the official nl2 download. My favorite thing about the tab is having a device not connected to a carrier! And it really makes it so we don't need very many apps to start.

De-Bloater MIUI 8 China/Global Dev Roms [Recovery Scripts]

Background:
This is divided in 2 parts, depending on user requirements.
1. Flashing Miui_8_De-Bloat-Mover.zip will move/backup all bloats to Bloats folder in /system.
2. Flashing Miui_8_De-Bloat-Deleter.zip will delete Bloats folder, which can be done manually using any root file explorer or twrp recovery. It is done so that a user can move any required app by him to default location to restore it, as not all users requirements are same.
3. New Miui_8_De-Bloat-Mover_Extreme.zip is added. Some features are also removed by this one. See the list for more details.

Requirements:
1. Redmi note 3 (kenzo) on global/china dev rom.
2. TWRP Recovery
Downloads:
Miui_8_De-Bloat-Mover.zip
Miui_8_De-Bloat-Deleter.zip
Miui_8_De-Bloat-Mover_Extreme.zip
Procedure:
* If Clean Flash, Flash the rom and any required mods then boot to system, set it up, once done, reboot to TWRP and flash the Scripts. (Why?)
The scripts remove default keyboard so you may not be able to enter password when asked to unlock device. To prevent it, either move LatinIME/SogouInput back to its place or first setup the rom then de bloat it.
1. Reboot to TWRP Recovery.
2. Flash Miui_8_De-Bloat-Mover.zip
3. Use Twrp recovery to move any required app to its default location.
4. Flash Miui_8_De-Bloat-Deleter.zip
5. Hit Thanx on the Thread or your phone will brick
6. Reboot the phone.

More space in system so some apps can be moved to system by link2sd.
More free ram for better multitasking.
More battery backup.
These apps are safe to remove, some people (like me) don't use pre-installed apps (music, browser etc).

I would've definitely tried it, but that would break my weekly OTA updates. So, sorry I can't try it right now, maybe sometime later. But, still thanks for the good work. BTW, I too don't use browser, video, audio player etc.

Being on dev rom enables to download ota from miui website and flash manually using twrp. No need of updater app.
Flash the rom and the ota, then any other mod you want, once everything done, debloat.

Well, you are right. I can do that too. But, I'll have to clean flash ROM every time an update arrives. Dirty flashing won't work, right?

Dirty flash will work. I today updated 6.9.9-6.9.15
Also flashing xposed and super su will also prevent ota. You have to flash complete rom on every ota regardless.

I've managed to install systemless supersu and xposed and still successfully updated to 6.9.15 from 6.9.9. Well, I can download the whole update every time, but I would prefer OTAs. So, I will try your scripts for sure now.
And btw, is anyone else facing lags on the dev roms. The first time I flashed it there were none. Then, I moved to CM, RR, Exodus, Hexagon..... and after that when I came back to dev rom; because they were all lagging in gaming, even after trying radon kernel; the lag too cam along with it. So, now MIUI dev is also stuttering while gaming, which was not the case when I first booted it on my device. And, I flashed it through the fastboot rom, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Yesterday i got bootloop after manually uninstal gapps. Only gapps.
And I think this script will make bootloop too, because almost system apps are removed.

Nice De-bloater script. Yesterday I applied this on my Global Dev 6.9.20 and worked perfectly. No fc issues till now.
@Sudeep Duhoon, by any chance, can you create another script for removing some Google apps like hangouts, photos, drive, gmail? And if I want to restore any app(after flashing part 1 script), then all I have to do is copy from /system and put into /system/data-app?

Whole update is not needed everytime, you can download ota packages from website too.
Flash whole rom (6.9.9) then the ota (6.9.15) then any mod, and de bloat.

Suppose a new update comes 6.9.23, flash 6.9.9(whole rom as you have the zip), download ota 6.9.9-6.9.23 or 6.9.15-6.9.23, and flash accordingly.
It takes 1 more min to do this but gives more control to user (build.prop tweaks etc can also be used now).

Some GApps can't be removed like Google App. So you will get bootloop. Non of these are removed in these scripts and tested 4 times by me. Also If you get bootloop, just copy the required app from Bloats folder to original location and everything will be as before.
It is a good habit to make a backup before doing anything.

These will be some force close errors. As clean master, yellow pages etc. are removed, respective settings in security and dialer app will force close but that's obvious.
Sure, I will make a GApps remover too.
Yes, to restore an app, say system/priv-app/name, just copy the folder from system/Bloats/priv-app/name to system/priv-app

Actaully can we use miui without all the xiaomi services and use Google apps instead? It seems xiaomi services are bundled everywhere in the stock ROM. Can debloating helping me to get rid of that?
