Hey bestialbub, Also did the new update + your gapps update. Everything I used from market works great. One game "Crazy Snowboard" seems to have a ornamentation problem but I think that its a app problem because "Penguin Skiing" , a similar game, works fine. This Gapps update is a great alternative for people who want or need the OFW firmware updates from Elocity but don't want to wait for Dexter to update his mod's. Great work!!! I will be ending you a donation.
Recommendation for "gapps update:
Adding a backup and restore app like "Titanium Backup" as part of the gapps update so I don't have to reinstall from market every time I do a an update.
Recommendation for "Elocity updates:
Elocity needs to fix the way the sdcard is mounted. Sd card should be more compliant with android 2.2 standards. Right now system backups and apps are stored in "storage" folder. OFW updates and "wipe/data factory resets" reformat/destroys all data on that partition and there is no system option to backup to the sdcard (ie., sdcard-disk0.) This is a problem when you are providing all these OFW updates. I have to use a market(not included) provided app to backup my app and another app to move the folders from "storage" to sdcard. That makes no sense.

For some reason i dont have adobe flash and Asphalt 5 still cannot load these two option alone for me make me revert back to dexter mod...
just got off the phone with elocity and mention my gripe with this firmware
i mention to them about dexter and bestialbub who is helping us elocity owners, they guy there say only appoke a gapps apps will work with their firmware...

i believe i did see adobe flash listed in market for update/installation, which is going to be more updated than what would come preinstalled. otherwise i'll check to see if inserting gapps into the system image causes any initial setup problems, as the preinstalled adobe flash is installed on first boot, i think even to the user data partition, so this shouldnt be an issue.
all other non gapps issues are likely rom specific and still awaiting my inspection. recovery is next on the list.
regarding manufacture support or statement against software not supplied by them; they obviously wont support it. most manufactures would even recommend against it; except these new tablet manufacturers are skirting support and linking directly to xda forums for support; so they cant straight nay say solutions promoted here. they cant endorse them either.

I downloaded and installed flash 10.2 from market without any problems. Tested the installed version here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. "Asphalt 5" seems a little complicated to install right now but looks like a nice game. I might try it myself if I can get the files together.

After Firmware Update - Version 2.0134- NO PINCH TO ZOOM
Hello folks,
After Firmware Update - Version 2.0134- NO PINCH TO ZOOM, instead I have a useless handwriting option? Does anyone know how I can get my pinch to zoom working again?
Thanks

S4 Mini i9190 root done - I confirm

Dear i9190 owners
I have applied the root method of the i9195 to my i9190 and the root suceeded. use the same files and the same recovery but apply the su application using recovery instead downloading it from the market.
My i9190 now is rooted and works perfectly.
kind regards
Update:
after you install the kernel and recovery and the su app you might get an annoying message saying : Detection Information - The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot"
to stop this message from appearing do this :
1. Use File Manager with root explorer instead and mount SYSTEM as WRITABLE.
2. Go to: /data/data/ look for com.sec.knox.seandroid and rename it to 000.knox.seandroid or whathever you wish.. Same thing applies to com.sec.knox.store
3. Go to: /system/app/ and DELETE: KNOXAgent.apk, KNOXAgent.odex, KNOXStore.apk, KNOXStore.odex
4. Restart

Tips? Help plz

I applied the root of this thread exactly and didn't see any troubles. [RECOVERY][ROOT] Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195)
my phone works perfectly and rooted and has recovery.
I think you need to flash stock firmware and apply the root again from the above thread of i9195
by the way .. after the root if you download the su application from the play store it will not work. you need to flash it through recovery.

I checked recently the recovery/boot files of both models I9190 and I9195.
The partitions is exactly the same, and the addres of them too. (mmcblkxx)
it's also the same harware except the nfc and the lte, so there is nothing to fear.

Hello,
I intend to purchase a S4 Mini and turn it "Google Edition", but I have some questions regarding it.
What implications does it have? I assume the touchwiz specific functions will not work, but will the phone/android specific functions work? GPS, navigation, google maps, etc?
Can the functionality of the camera and music player be improved with apps (like more camera options that touchwiz has, but not a Google edition)? I'd like to use the active notification app, will I be able to?
Since Android is free, will I get the latest automated updates as soon as it hits the Nexus?
Here is the rooting tutorial, does it tell all that is to know?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
This tutorial has a video, but is for the i9505, can it still be used as a guideline?
http://www.technobuffalo.com/videos/how-to-turn-a-galaxy-s4-into-a-google-edition-phone/

There isn't a Google edition rom for the S4 Mini. You should just flash CyanogenMod 10.1 on it if you want something like that. All the functions you mentioned are working on CM10.1.
The camera in Google stock roms (upon which CM is based) has less features than the Samsung stock camera.
The activenotification app works fine on CM. TouchWiz is the interface used in Samsung stock roms and does not exist on these custom roms based on the Google stock roms.

Thanks. What I mean to say is that I want to install stock Google android (4.3) on the phone and get rid of touchwiz. I need to get more information about CyanogenMod to decide,
I'm sure it has neat features, but all I need really is a phone the size of the S4 mini and to run stock android on it (hence my decision to go with it, otherwise I could buy one of the google edition phones right away). I just wondered if it still has stuff like navigation and if the camera would work normally and such. Also whether I would get the automatic updates of android or am stuck with the version I installed.

Are you planning to get the LTE version? CyanogenMod 10.1 is currently only available on the LTE model.
You should read about what CyanogenMod is about @ http://www.cyanogenmod.org/about
I feel that it suits your needs

The one I'm getting is LTE.
So with the CyanogenMod I can still have that pure stock Google android look, but can change themes and stuff? Having choices and options is great but I want that pure and simple 100% stock android look.
I wonder how stable it is and how do I update that? Do I need to flash it each time? Stock android gets automatic updates, but if I use CM, than I don't want to fiddle around with installing updates again risking data and the phone.
I see 10.2 (4.3) is out.

Custom roms need to be tailored for each phone. There is only 10.1 available for the GT-I9195 for now. Support for 10.2 will come later when 10.1 is more stable.
There are automatic update notifications for updates to CyanogenMod. The latest builds commonly are based on the latest version of that Android release available on open source.
Incremental CyanogenMod updates don't wipe your data.

I put CM10.1 on it. I love the stock google look, so much more pleasant. The set of options is great.
Thanks to arco68 for the rooting tutorial and you for the rom installation.
I didn't backup the previous rom though, is there a way to reset it if necessary?

Is there a way to use the "System/Notification drawer/Widget buttons" on the "Lock screen/Slider shortcuts"?
I'd like to use the "Go to sleep" function by sliding the lock screen to the left to shut off the screen as opposed to sliding it left to unlock.
I tried some lock screen apps. Two work excellent, just as I want, but the one wakes screen up right after shutting it and the other stays open as app in the background. A third works but not so great.

Unable to install Google's new camera

Hi,
I can't seem to install Google's new uploaded camera. It seems many people have this problem as well (at least in the Nexus 4 section which is my device as well).
The error I got was "package file was not signed correctly...". That was when I had the photosphere camera so I deleted it's .apk and .sh files. After that I got the error "application already exists". Deleting the AOSP camera doesn't seem to help as well.
Any suggestions?
P.S this seems to be a custom rom problem, for example Slimkat users had this problem as well and the developers had to release some fix for it.

flashing the PA new google camera addon module, does not permit to upgrade / install the google camera from play store, it says that is not possible because of a wrong signature, then if i remove with root file explorer from /system/app and i try to install from market it says that application is already present, do someone know how to solve that? i'm on OmniROM

Solved...
Install apk from here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/04/16/breaking-google-releases-stock-camera-app-to-the-play-store/
Worked for me without having to delete anything.

yes but the apk let you install mat it's not connected to google play store so if any upgrade exit you won't be able to installa automatically

Yep that is a problem... But you can just install the new apk again when it's updated that's all.

Is the still no solution for the problem? I'm experiencing it as well on my Nexus 4 running PA 4.4 rom

Use modular gapps

I am having zuk z2 plus and I recently installed a custom ROM (pixel experience 8.1.0). On first istallion the Google moded camera seams to be working fine but after a factory reset ,I again tried to install but the camera is not installing (" app not installed").so please help me out

[ROM][N][7.0][STOCK][G920W8][zerofltebmc/zerofltecan]SamStock November Patch (Lightly Debloated)[RE-PACK]

Original ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...loat-7-0-920-5-w8-f-i-november-patch.3649798/
I removed several apps in the ROM including a very annoying DiagMonAgent app that caused it to continuously show popup notifications.
Here is a complete list of apps I removed from this ROM: http://dr.mywebcommunity.org/g920w8/debloat/20210831-samstock-debloat-results.html
My phone works super well with this setup.
Download information:
Location: androidfilehost.com
File name: 20210831-1914-sst05-safe.zip
File size: 1.4 Gb
Information
I did not include the AROMA options for different phone vendors so if you really need those files, please use original rom. I uploaded this rom for my peronal use and because I am trying to make a debloated rom and bring the size of the zip file back down to under 1 Gb but I have several issues with required apks causing bootloops. So for now, this is a fully functional re-packed rom. I do plan to re-pack the phone vendors in a futur aroma setup but for now, I am still struggling to debloat this rom entirely. I just needed a base stock rom with as little modification as possible and this is the only ROM I found to fit this category. I am fully opened to receive any kind of help or assistance. The goal is to change the ZIP file only through my Windows computer, change any files through Notepad++ if necessary.
If you want details of what has been done in the ROM, please refer to the original author's thread.
GOAL OF THIS RE-PACK
My goal is to keep the original system but remove every other useless things. I want to drop the ROM size to under 1 Gb. I want to remove all Samsung and Google apps that are not necessary for the system to work. If people want Google Play, I want to simply download it on Open GApps. Of course, for now, I have been unsuccessfully removing other apps and had several boot loops, this is the only package I managed to re-pack that has a successfull boot and work well with my needs.
Why use an old 7.0 version?
Honestly? Because everything! Bluetooth connection, camera, stability. Everything works. The only VERY annoying things I hate about v7.0 are:
PROBELM: Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode does NOT work. Apps compatible with PiP will not display any PiP content such as floating video call windows.
SOLUTION: The only similar effect you can have is by enabling in the dev options the "Force activities to be resizable" at the very bottom. Then, in an app you want to have displayed in a floating window, tap on your "All apps" button and drag your app's window on the little square that says "Open in pop-up view".
PROBLEM: Dark modes for apps like GMail and the user interface is not supported unless you seriously start to tinker arround with very creative workarrounds I have not tested.
SOLUTION: I did not test any.
Kernel Source
The kernel supplied in this re-pack is the original kernel from SamStock's original package (G920W8) with no changes. Based off SamStock's thread which states:
Untouched. Completely stock out of the latest zip from sammobile.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So source is based off original Samsung Kernel Source.
ROOT Magisk
This rom is NOT ROOTED. I removed the outdated supplied Magisk from the original ROM since I prefer to use the latest available version that works without any issues. Just remember to rename the Magisk APK file's extension to ".zip" and flash after flashing this rom. I also use the original APK file to install after first boot because the zip only enables root access but the APK installs the Magisk manager app and enables the popup message to grant root permissions to apps. It is not a requirement since Magisk will download the app automatically when you try to open it the first time, but it just makes you spend less time waiting for the automatic download and installs the app immediately. Installing the APK manually will require a reboot.
AdAway
This is the goto app to remove annoying ads in almost all apps. ROOT is required. To install, head to ApkMirror and download version 4.3.6. That's the latest version that still works very well on Android v7.0. You will be required to do 2 reboots, one after installing the app and enabling adblock and one for updating the hosts file.
Google
You will have a long update list to go through your initial boot to update all apps from Google App Store INCLUDING the app store itself. Please pay attention to Google Services notification because you may need to manually update Google Services if it does not do it on it's own for apps to work such as GMail and other Google apps.
I suggest you disable the "upday" app which Google Update installs. I hate this app so much that I disable the notification, force stop AND disable the app. I have not found any solution yet to prevent this app from being installed.
XPosed Framework
You need the sdk24 version. It works and boots without any problems BUT, it's old and I found it to be pretty much useless. Some stuff such as the Dark mode for GMail module does not work anymore. So I do not recommend you to install XPosed unless you already are familiar with modules you want to use and already know that is working.
What I wil NOT do (unsupported models)
I own only the W8 version of the phone so any other models I cannot support. BUT, I can say this, you can refer to the debloated list above to remove the apps from the ZIP file and repackage the file yourself for your model by downloading the right version on the original author's mod page. As I mentioned, this is a safe debloat list where the phone successfully boots and setups.
I cannot test phone calls and SMS because I do not use this function on my phone. I use a SIP phone service through GrandStream Wave and VoIP.ms. So if you have any issues concerning phone calls or SMS, please comment or check the list of removed apps above and mention to me what is needed and I will post a new upload with the included package. While you may be waiting for my fix, I suggest you use the original author's files.
KNOWN ISSUES
You will need to install another launcher to be able to change wallpaper since I removed some of Samsung's core apps which were linked to the Samsung store including the wallpaper switcher. I recommend the Microsoft Launcher which is entirely free and has all the basic functions including notification dots and icon pack themes.
INSTALLATION
• Backup your system and files
• Boot in TWRP (Hold Volume Up+Home Button+Power Button)
• Format and advance wipe everything
• Install zip file
• Optional: Install Magisk (rename apk extension to zip)
• Reboot System
Stuck in a bootloop or unresponssive phone?
Hard reboot your phone by holding Volume Down+Home Button+Power Button. Once the screen goes black, immediately Hold Volume Up+Home Button+Power Button and you will be back in TWRP. If it fails, simply repeat the Volume Down hard reboot until you get the timing right with Volume Up afterwards. That's what I do and it works but hopefully, this should NOT happen because it does not on my end.
Permission: I requested month's ago permission from the author and never got an answer so I presume that the project is abandonned or not followed anymore. So if ever the author somehow has specific requests or want's me to remove this, I will do so without hesitating after contacting me through PM.

Unable to Install APKs (Package Invalid)

I recently upgraded to the latest build of Oxygen OS (IN2025_11_F.13) after procrastinating.
I am trying to install quick glance so that I can disable the discover page on my homescreen.
No matter what APK version I try, it gives me an error stating the package appears to be invalid.
The same thing happens when trying to install the older version of oneplus weather with the (in my opinion) better widget and animations.
This also applies to any APK I have tried installing.
Is there any way to install these apps?
Or are there other ways to restore the old version of weather and disable discover?
My device is rooted with Magisk FYI.
Thanks.
