My tablet was runnin dexter mod 1.4 with all the patches, buy always had problems with the sd card and the usb thumb and I also had problems running some applications. Right now my A7 is running [mod] update04-19 patched market + google apps and my tablet is working almost perfect. I think this mod is better that dexter mode.
I hope everybody use this mode in their tablets.
Thanks Bestialbub for your great job.
i jus got my elocity a7
i tried to mod mine with the dexter mod 1.41 and mines wont work,
1st- i download the file didn't unzip it then i sent it to the SD card and rename it "update.zip".
2nd- i did the factory wipe/reset then i select to wipe all data
3rd- i select update.zip but i notice an message saying( E. can't read from SD card). i dont know if that is apart of the mod or what.
4th- when it is finish then i select reboot option and when it is done rebooting i get nothing new. can you help me out are do you know something that i might be doing wrong. i also did do the 1.42 patch aswell didn't work. are is there another mod that you can tell me how to get it.
hasn't been tested for application on dexter's rom, though i don't know of reason they shouldn't work. gapps can be flakey like that; actually, the files are all stock as they come from cyanogen, minus my patched market, which doesn't have any reason not to work on dexter's rom and has nothing to to with the installation of the rest of google applications, including the calendar and text messaging services; i introduced no signature issues else it wouldn't install on stock firmware.
what i can suggest, is that if you're doing this under wiped conditions; is that you need to do a "factory reset" in recovery AFTER applying my gapps update.
if you don't do the factory reset, there will be settings put in place by the provision.apk in dexter's rom (not sure if this has changed in 1.42) that may conflict with the setup of google-apps. it didn't w/ the gapps in v1 i ported from dexters rom in previous tests, but i was going for a vanilla install w/out mixed signatures/versions/dates. provision.apk is generally suggested to be removed when google-apps is intended to be installed, and it is by my installer, but not the changes done in the data folders, which is why the wipe is suggested. i think its role is replaced by the googlepartnersetup.apk, but i could be wrong.
theres also some build prop differences; some unnecessary (gsm provider info), some improved (fingerprint for added apps in addition to patched market and added permissions), and the same ones necessary for apps like skype to run.
sorry if that was too much info. i do that.
EDIT: i reviewed my original post, its step *2B*. i did update it to underline it, and provide explanation for its probable necessity.

Audio fix, which enhances EQUlizer and probably a 10% audio increase, and rotation support for games is another one..
the gsm props were actually very much needed, as Google for a period enabled provider checking, so if no gsm provider was there, you could not activate a google account, so instead of ppl getting lost without MarketEnabler on a clean device, i included it for safety reasons so next time, we're prepared for such checks.. so it all serves a purpose, if you like to know more, XDA has excellent information on those topics.

thanks for the tip. i did concede i could be wrong, and you're right, i could find that small detail that setupwizard is known to replace functions for provision.apk. the same posts i'm finding on xda and cyanogenmod don't say anything about googlepartnersetup, however, yet its provided with gapps packages..
i also learn from demonstrated and practiced examples..
demonstrated examples i learned from, including your 1.2 rom shows your remove provision.apk and provide googlepartnersetup.apk, then reverse the decision in 1.4, i ASSUME based on signiture issues you had stated (i generally don't have those as i know i can re-use existing containers without having signature issues).
i also learned/ported from various sdk's, including google's sdk for gapp imports, and neither is required, but what is provided is sdksetup.apk.. me seeing a relation from sdksetup for an sdk/emu android device kinda indicates one might want googlepartnersetup as a counterpart on a physical device. (your 1.4 example does prove that doesn't have to be true).. but the google sdk shows that i don't need setupwizard.apk for google services either.
thought i'd relate, since most the general posted information i've seen on xda and cyanogenmod seem like vague gueses at best. though i suspect the people posting this information aren't necessarily the devs working closely with the files. just hobbists and modders making educated guesses like me.

i was refering to MY gsm provided build prop information, i wasn't ragging on your build prop or rom addons. i followed suit to the gtab tnt modrom and added DIFFERENT gsm provider information than yourself (service provider id, not google client information). but it made no difference in gapps present demonstrated performance as this information DOES NOT (the stuff i provided/borrowed from tntlite) get passed into the android system or database files, as no service provider id is listed when opening marketaccess.apk, as it does on a phone device that does genuinely have this information.
i do concede to the thread discussion, tho, DEXTERS ROM IS THE BEST AND ONLY FULL ROM MOD FOR THE A7 TABLET!!!
my gapps mod is only intended to provide google applications ommitted by the manufacture. nothing more.
thanks for the indirect market patching instructions!
thanks am going to retry and see what happends

Had the same issues, so i found the trick to be adding it in the boot.img using the default.prop, and it is added during bootup.. but now we're OT! so let's leave it at that.
a7 installation problem
these are the exat message i got (E:can't open/usb/update.zip)
(E:Can't mount USB:update.zip)
then underneath that it say (Finding update package)
then it say (Wait for 5 second)
(Installation time out)
(installation aborted)
(Formatting MISC)
these are all the thing it say during installation

That is not a mod it's the factory firmware with a patch to get market, I don't see in what way it is better than Dexter mod.

When this happen I remove the .zip from file name or just rename the file but most time removing. .zip does the job...
Kinda sucks for a first post but I had to do it someday. Been browsing this place for more than a year.
I'm on a Canadian carrier (Videotron) and many of you know that with some phones, like the MT4G (Panache) un less you use a sense ROM, you will have issues with the VM notification (MIUI and some others). The bug is simple if you look at the system info, the field ''my phone number'' is unknown instead of displaying your actual number. On the CM7 builds the issue is the same but it can be fixed manually. But some ROMS like MIUI, you are unable to get this damn thing to work.
I found a fix that I would love to try but unfortunately, I have no clue how to flash it. I went trough so many treads and pages and never read anything on how to fix it. there are tons on unanswered question.
The big question is : how can I flash this on MIUI? http:..review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,11318
It's a script to *fix* the VM notification. I tried installing the zip trough recovery but it failed. I tried running the java script trough ''Script Manager'' but it fails (Syntax error). Both attempts are from the SD card.
This is no script. This is a Java source file fix, which requires recompilation of telephony service, which lies inside the framework - so the whole framework needs to be recompiled.
You have 2 ways of achieving it:
1) Recompile MIUI source code.
2) Decompile MIUI framework, convert the fix code into smali format and merge into decompiled framework, recompile the framework.
ouch. Sounds prety much out of my league for now. Got a lot of reading to do before I'm able to do that lol.
You could open a bug to MIUI team, asking them to integrate support, and point them to CM git that you posted. I believe they'll integrate in sooner or later.
Thnx for the advice. I will give it a shot

Hey there,
So I just installed Hyperdrive 17.1 via Safestrap onto my AT&T Galaxy S4. Everything is going smoothly, except one key issue. The build prop is entirely Verizon based and that has somehow confused the Google Play Store into not allowing me to install the following apps I need and use:
Hello SMS
WhatsApp
AT&T Visual Voicemail
Starbucks
GoWallet
It says that these apps don't support my version of Android, which ostensibly is 4.4.2, but something in the build prop must be fooling the Play Store into thinking that it's incompatible.
So, I guess I should edit the build prop. I've looked in the Hyperdrive thread for someone who had the same problem as I did, to no avail. Then I tried to find a stock build prop for an AT&T GS4 running NC1, but to no avail. And besides, I'd rather just edit one entry if that would be easier and give me a better chance of solving the problem without bricking my phone. I believe the entry most likely to help me would be ro.build.description? What would that entry read on stock NC1?
Thanks for your help!
Try the AT&T build.prop/APN file found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51112381&postcount=9
However, be aware that when I flashed that file over Hyperdrive 17.1, it interfered with Hyperdrive Tweaks (which would then force close when trying to open). I'm not sure if the dev has fixed that problem... I moved on to a different ROM because at the time there wasn't a known solution I could find to the "+ being added to incoming/outgoing calls" issue (app Prefixer seems to be the solution most commonly mentioned, now).
I encountered the same problems with downloading apps based on the phone identification that you are seeing, and I did change one build.prop item manually (I forget which one), but it wasn't enough to get the store to properly recognize the phone. I think there are a few of them that need to be changed, and I didn't invest time to figure it out.
You will probably fix it if you go through the ATT build.prop file line by line and adjust on your phone just the items that refer to phone model ID... that would probably not break Hyperdrive Tweaks.

Need HELP @ Note 3 ( SM-N9002 / SM-N9009 ) SIM2 Call Audio/Mic Routing & MagMa-NX ROM
Got my hands on this one beautiful piece of Samsung Galaxy Note3 SM-N9002 Dual-Sim, and it had this odd version of Chinese samsung rom on it, as it comes from factory, half apps installed that comes with it was in Chinese and had no play store etc and was on 4.xx android, so I went and did my research, found working TWRP, managed to install it OK, then tried few beautiful ROM versions and found MagMa-NX (note7 ported ROM) works wonderfully well, zero crashes etc etc and it also has kernel support for SM-N9002 during installation which I chose to use, all features work 100% and everything works ok, all but SIM#2 call audio.
I mean, I have signal on both sim cards simultaneously OK, I can make and receive calls and all would seem ok, but when dialed to or from SIM#2 there is no audio coming out from earpiece or loudspeaker and mic dont seem to activate as even if I try to record call which feels like muted for both caller and receiver ends, call audio recorder while recording does not pick up any sound trough phone microphones, so I think its something to do with settings in some file not done right or else I dont know what I could be doing wrong.
both sim cards worked 100% ok before ROM flash, but now I'm lost because I cant even flash back to old stock rom, and yes I have gathered original android 4.xx rom but it fails flashing via ODIN every time, so my best bet is on doing some DIY on current MagMa-NX note7 port rom... I wonder if there are any fellows who I could buy the paypal-beer for great help sorting me out on this DIY project? Please PM me or post here if you feel like you could collaborate in resolving this dilemma for me... would highly appreciate folks
I will keep an eye out
I think I figured something. Everytime I attempt to make a phone call on this, I get to choose from which sim card should I dial, #1 or #2 , but what I have noticed now is that I am being asked "SIM1" or "Slot2" ... SLOT 2 I thought? That may be the reason that audio routing doesnt work well for this... tried searching build.prop but this string is not there and I just dont know where to search for this string to get this fixed, anybody can chime in?
Thanks
Did you figure it out ? As i have the same problem with the same rom in addition that when i call anyone and he is on a call i don't get notified with " call waiting

Which CSC did you choose?
I did not figure anything out guys... as I was trying to get this working, I tried every CSC option possible... none worked. Which should have been the one that's working for this models?
in fact Im thinking of selling this beauty of note3, its almost new... in case someone interested I have it... because I would love note7 port rom on this, and nothing else... PS I could live with it being just single-sim option, it works but not perfect as sim #2 is useless then... signal there and texts only works for it as described above...
at the moment its on stock adroid 5.0 and its all 100% ok and fine, flawless, but its boring!

Well, i know that mixer paths are different on single sim and dual sim phones.
Can you extract from stock rom the file "/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml" and overwrite the one in custom rom ?
I think I tried something similar if not exact with no success .. let me repeat the process just in case...
PS also, I will try and dump both versions of these files. Is there anything else I may need to dump from stock rom 5.0 rom?

There are some specific binaries and libs, but i'm pretty sure magma rom already inject them during flash when you select n9002 as variant.
Dumping the CSC folder is a good idea too.

cool, which is the csc folder to be exact? will there should there be any conflicts between 5.0 stock android and 6.0 in magma rom when doing CSC trick?
thanks

Path : /system/csc
Indeed, conflits may happen. But just dump it and let we examine it.
Ok here is what I managed to try, I backed up stock rom android 5.0 all working state mixer files from etc dir, then flashed magma rom again, backed up those same files for restoration to working state, replaced files with ones extracted while on 5.0 stock android, reboot device, no sound whatsoever, phone wont even buzz keypad dialtones or connect dial phonecalls just hangs. So I went and restored back original magmanx rom mixer files, reboot, but still no success... so now I have just finished restoring 5.0 again, will dump csc folder and share with you. will also need to charge my battery a bit because @ 30% cant expect much to happen when flashing magma nx...
Thanks for the help amigo!!!
Alright, tried merging csc from 5.0 to magmanx 6.0, no luck. then tried after this to merge mixer file from 5.0 to magmanx 6.0 , no luck, back at square1....
files attatched both versions... obviously something wasnt done right from looong time ago and had never been reported, been forgotten... in regards of 9002 users..

Indeed, the mixer_paths of TW6 is missing the whole part concerning "cp2" (second sim).
I'm not a reel dev but i tried to add missing parts from TW5.
Can you please try the attached mixer_paths on magma ? (don't touch csc).

Did you checked correct permissions before reboot ?
I'm afraid the problem is deeper than mixer paths.
I'll try to digg more.
I enable root explorer in third party file manage, grant permission, copy file from sd card to system/etc, prompt to overwrite -grant, overwrite complete, power off phone from power-button menu, power on, done. is this bad/incorrect procedure? magmanx has root from stock, when I navigate root dir I get access grant prompt, I grant it and then I can modify whatever.
please let me know what else I could do? maybe there are specific files I could look in to dump out of working 5.0 rom? Thanks!
or maybe just directory content filenames that could/would make sense by their name etc?
its weird, I think its something to do with the kernel itself... maybe Im wrong, but I dont think 9002/9008 kernels were ever made properly to be tested thus the errors... I cant even find any other kernels for 9002 other than included in magmanx and it aint working well anyway

The file "mixer_paths.xml" must have permission set to 0644 (like other files in /system/etc directory).
And try darklord Kernel.
6044 is as per read/write permissions for user enabled, as per this link http://permissions-calculator.org/decode/0644/ , I assume these permissions will auto set after moving replacing file do they not?
Where do I obtain the darklord kernel? I was pretty sure it comes with it... let me re-do the rom and take some snips as I go

Sorry i just noticed you already have darklord kernel.
And set permission like other files in this directory (if not already done by your file manager).
