Google Earth now claims it is incompatible with device

With my really smoothly working Cyanogenmod 7.2.0-RC1-encore I have been unable to install Google Earth. The app has been recently updated and does install on my CM 7.1.X devices but for some reason it refuses to make itself available for my CM 7.2.0-RC1 devices.
I've tried changing DPI, so that's not it, so what could be the problem?
Thanks much in advance.

It runs fine on RC1 so if you can get it on your device it will run. Copy it from one of your other devices.

Help with themable mms and keyboard

Someone please help me out here. The ROM's I am running don't support the theme chooser theming the keyboard or mms. I have searched for hours and only found one zip that doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

I suppose you are running PA?
The theme engine is made to interact with the AOSP apps, not the Google apps. Some developers use the apps from stock ROM's instead of the apps they build from source. Try picking the mms.apk and keyboard apk ( I think it's called LatinIME.apk ) from a CM nightly, put them in your /system/app folder, set the right permissions and reboot.
If this works it might be worthwhile to make a flashable zip of the apps you want to replace, there are quite a few of guides out there that teach you how to do this. But if you need help you can also just drop me a PM. Be sure to use the Edify language, and not the old Amend language which is still used in the old (3.x < I think) recoveries.

It does not work on SlimKat Alpha 1.1 from my testing, including a full wipe afterwards as well as cache/dalvik only, tried twice as well.
If it works on houstonn's AOSP, it will probably work on his PA as well but I haven't tested that just yet.
I'm going to try to manually do it and report.

I have a Sprint HTC One running the latest CM11 build by "kushdeck" and just flashed the deodexed version. Following your steps provided all works flawlessly. Thanks so much for making this available to everyone.

Thanks you for the reports so far. Glad it works (for most of you).

Community,
As great as the custom ROMs are for the N5 on Kit Kat, the Google Dialer differs from the AOSP one included in many ROMs in certain aspects:
- uses the "old" 4.3 Phone Icon
- Misses the local search from your dialer app.
In order to help, I have put together 2 versions of the dialer, the teleservices (for phone) and the telephony provider.
Deodexed Version: Included all 3 apps deodexed (dialer, teleservices, telephony provider)
Odexed: Version; Contains APK and .odex files for the 3 apps
GAPPS uploaders are considering whether the Dialer is universal and may include it in their GAPPS in the neat future, for now, we need a seperate flashable zip.
Installation Change the dialer only: (ALWAYS make a backup before you test)
1. Depeding on your ROM, download the ODEX or DEODEX version. I highly recommend the odexed version, that is the one I use currently.
2. Install in recovery.
3. Clear cache/dalvik-cache
4. Reboot
NOTE: Depending on the ROM, you may see a f/c when booting from the com.android.phone apk. If that happens, you may need to WIPE your device and reboot. I have not understood yet why some roms have issues, and others do not. I just recently tested with a dirty wipe from CM11 to another AOSP rom, flashed the ROM, installed the Dialer-mod and it all works fine.

OK. Works well.

sadly no lucky on s4 cm11

Successfully running in latest slimkat release following the notes instructions in the OP. Just curious if I will be able to dirty flash with next slim release. Thanks for this as I like this feature.

Just noticed that BANKS gaaps now include this as well. If mine doesn't work maybe his will help you guys that can't get mine to work.

That is just yours. And I changed the TeleService icon. I don't like an 4.3 icon in 4.4, even though it can't be seen in Google Home.

The TeleService.apk in BANKS gapps is the same as yours. If yours doesn't work, his doesn't, either.

Gotcha. The only thing he does differently is not deleting the aosp dialer.. Which means no FCS for people that had them before. Both banks and I are trying to figure you why it works on most Roms and some others require both dialers...

Sorry not working for Note 2, DND 3 custom os.

TeleService.apk (com.android.phone) (I will write TS for short.) is the most important apk.
When a call comes, TS in AOSP wakes up Dialer to show the answer button and interface, while TS in Nexus 5 wakes up Google Dialer.
So if the TS points to Google Dialer and works without FC, all the problems are resolved.
If we find that it doesn't work in some ROMs, that means the ROM requires a different TS.

true - however, given that my and his script replace the TS from AOSP with the Google TS -> it should, in theory, not matter which ROM. UNLESS there is a lib or something similar that calls a specific TS to work only....

P.A. Pie controls in other ROMS

Is the Paranoid Android Pie Controls (expanded desktop mode) open sourced and installable on other ROMS? I love PA's ROM mainly for that function but I also would like the stock LG apps such as the LG quick remote and wireless transfer. or does anyone know of a way to get them to work with PA. I tried extracting the APK files. no luck installing or moving to system/app. Also tried the ZIP file i found too with no luck.

Download LMT (somewhere on xda hahaha).
It's not COMPLETELY pie but it looks darn similar

The rom has to based on LG's framework in order for the LG specific apps to work. You will have to use LMT to get PIE like functionality on the stock rom.

it is not a TWRP flashable zip , you have to extract the content of the zip & then flash the content trough fastboot ,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img (if your main slot is a then flash with this command)
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
with fastboot binary inside the unziped folder , or cd to the directory if you are on linux ,
hope this helps .

Follow the instructions, make sure you flash the stock factory image from google website

Thanks for sharing this. Exactly what I wanted, nice and lean

ROM?
How do you unlock the bootloader of sailfish updated to Android Q? There's a decent amount of people who're saying that the manufacturers shipped it with a locked bootloader in order to prevent the use of custom ROMS.

No Pixel Launcher! (EDIT: I am using gestures, see below.) There are some apps that add that capacity. I'm trying to restore the Pixel Launcher with TiBu but haven't been successful yet.

@kkjb gives info about how to add it back above but I haven't figured that out yet either. I've been having problems installing apk's on 10. I get a "Sorry, no application available"
EDIT: ES File Explorer and perhaps other file managers that haven't been updated to work with 10 don't work. Amaze or the native file manager works, as do others I expect that are designed to work with the scoped memory framework of 10.

Well, I have to correct myself! I'm using gestures now but I don't remember how I got it or selected it or whatever. When I figure it out, I'll post it.

Is anybody else seeing this when searching settings?

Any chance for an updated version of this?

What are the main advantages of this rom over stock android 10?

Research the differences between AOSP, Code Aurora (CAF) and stock Google. Then with custom roms that are built either from stock or aosp, you'll know what to expect. I'll give a quick overview for you.
AOSP is pure Android. While heavily influenced by Google, it's 100% open source and free to modify. It includes no extra apps, no Google, nothing. The only thing on this rom that says Google is the search bar on the home screen, and I'm fairly sure that's only for dev testing because there's not even a browser really, it's just AOSP's webview. AOSP is the cleanest, simplest system you can get. It should have the least bugs and also the least features. It literally doesn't include a browser. CAF is basically optimized AOSP. It's Qualcomm directed so optimizations can be done on the Snapdragon chips. You will rarely see AOSP without CAF code because no one likes an unoptimized phone. Qualcomm produces optimization code because they make the chips, Google adds Android features like gesture navigation because Google is on the software side, and the end result is stock Android. The main advantage to AOSP is a clean system. The only Google apps on there are the ones you install yourself. This is my preferred method since I like to add things one at a time, and if there are any issues I remove the last thing I added. There's no extra background stuff I have to sort through if I have an app crash or battery drain. The counter is that I get zero extra features, I must add them all myself. On this rom for example, gestures must be activated (the apks are in fact present in the system), no pixel launcher, no play store, no Find My Device, nothing extra. OP included a vendor image for Mind the Gapps. These are open source implementations of Google apps, but the apps themselves still use Google's proprietary code. Necessary to still use proprietary code if you want everything to work like stock. Open Gapps is one I've used a lot, still fits my preference because it only installs base Google framework, allowing you to choose what Gapps you install. For example, Play Music which I never use is typically just taking up space on my phone and can't normally be uninstalled. With Open Gapps, it's not installed by default in the pico package, and I can install and uninstall play music at will. This is base knowledge for installing custom roms. If you just want things to work, stick to stock. But I've found I get better battery life with AOSP/ Lineage and minimal Gapps. Lineage has more bugs than stock. Pros and cons, pick your poison.
OP- Not underwhelmed, I'm overjoyed. This is exactly what I wanted. Nice and clean, the only extras are what I personally add. My tether options are greyed out, does anyone know how to enable them? It can't be a rom issue, everything works. Just a build.prop edit I'm assuming?
