ICS AOKP ROM for the u8800

This is an AOKP ROM for the u8800. It is ported from Huawei Honor B977 4.0.3. I'd like to know if anyone else has tried this and what they think. It's a chinese rom from the anzhi forums (original thread)
I flashed this ROM just now ( thanks fjsferreira for the mirror), this is my feedback:
- Fast, smooth (on par with Aurora).
- Wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, and the like work.
- No gapps, Play Store, camera, browser...(you pretty much have to install everything yourself).
- No strip unicode in the Mms.apk.
- Popup notification support in the Mms.apk.
- Cool AOKP tweaks (naturally...).
- No theme-chooser (meaning you'll have to stick with the mix of Touchwiz 5, ICS and lots of tranparency that is the UI).
- Long pressing the Home key doesn't show the multi-tasking interface and doesn't take you to the Homescreen.
- The SEARCH key is set to turn off the screen (to revert it to its normal function (searching!), check this post).
- I'll add more feedback information as more people try it and report.

Make sure the system folder fits in your system partition. I think you need to chacge the partitions in order to flash this, but I'm not sure. Our phone's default system partition is 210 mb

Has anyone tried it? Or have mirror?
I would love to give a try, but download time shows me 18 hours...

I have tried the previous ver actually..... Partition is a must, otherwise phone wont pass Huawei logo. Its ported from Huawei Honor ...every thing works well but Home key does not work..... But be aware some time it happens that you cant return to stock partition and you wont be able to Flash official 2.3 or Froyo ROM back.

I haven't tried that way, you can try once.... All 4.0 official ROM designed for U8800 PRO also officially they have made .app file for changing the partition to install ICS so i doubt it will work.

Actually this version is much smaller (109MB) than the previous (180MB), so it may not need re-partitioning. It has a ".UP" suffix so maybe it is an update flashable only and you need the previous installed, but I can't know since I cannot download it. It just goes soooooo slowwww....

I know, right? I left the computer on and went to the beach but when I came back the file only had 86mb out of the 109mb...I'll have to try again tomorrow, since it will probably take some 4 hours to download.

If you guys use something to stabilize the download, like free download manager, speed is always above 800 KB/s (I've just finished my download, took less than 3mins)

EDIT: anyway, here it is
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4ZMZwAV0MEaVUUzMjRDM2JyXzg
(I didn't try this ROM yet, and probably won't, Aurora is completely stable for me right now)

Well, just went ahead and tried the ROM. From my 10 minutes playing with it, everything seems to work, wifi, mobile data, bluetooth and camera (camera isn't included by default, you have to install one).
Also, no market by default, you have to manually edit the zip file and include the market apk in it.
Sadly I had to uninstall it after 10 mins because, and I'm seeing this more and more, the dev completely screwed up the UI... it's simply horrible, it's not default AOKP at all... He made a complete mess with icons from samsung, an horrible background in every app, horrible popups and menus, etc... I didn't like that at all. I didn't even took the time to create screenshots, I'm sorry, because it was burning my eyes...
There are some stuff completely in chinese, in the ROM control area of the settings, but overall, you can choose any language that Android includes. Note, while the theme of the UI isn't AOKP, the ROM itself is, with the usual settings AOKP provides,
Performance wise, I saw no difference than with aurora...

You can include this too... Its ported from Huawei Honor 4.0 977 ver ROM and home key doesn't show recent apps opened and doesn't take you to home either.

Not specific to slim bean, but there are a few things you have to check:
1. Is your ROM odex or deodex. The camera here is the odex version.
2. I think you will have a lot of FC trying some of the features unless you also grab seccamera.jar from the framework.
3. Many times the camera is also tied to the gallery, so you may also need that apk (and all associated files)
If you still want to try to install this and see what happens, you need to open the zip and use a root explorer app to put the two files in the system/app folder. You may also need to fix the permissions after copying. After that, restart the phone and see if it works.
EDIT:
Even with all the extra files I can't get it to work, there are probably other modifications that need to happen before it would work on a different system.
There are quite a few libraries needed (18 libarc*.so and at least 10 others), so it's not an easy port.

So, no one who has the apk for s4 camera yet? I'm on a aosp based rom, but the only "Sammy - feature" I miss is the camera.
Also I have the i9505. Anyone who knows if I can use camera apk. from other s4 models?
Thanks in advance.

The camera (as well as a number of other features such as IR Blaster, temp/humid sensors, etc.) require the touchwiz framework in order to work. This means that they will not work on ANY AOSP roms. This includes, AOKP, CM, Slimbean, etc. They will only work on roms that run a touchwiz framework.
As far as porting goes, it would require a ton of modifications require access to drivers and libraries which samsung has not made available in order to complete a port. Nothing is impossible so I won't go as far as saying it won't be done, but it will be extremely difficult and time consuming so many developers have been discouraged from even attempting this. Only time will tell if we'll ever get these things ported.

Thanks for sharing the your info on this, I won't be sitting around waiting for a port sometime soon then!

Could someone upload the various Moto apks?

It would be greatly appreciated, I am curious as to the changes/upgrades that have been made to the software, in no particular order...
Moto
Moto Actions
Moto Camera
Moto Display (and FW Proxy)
Command Center
SlpcService (and System)
Thanks again

Just curious: would these apks even work on other phones? I believe the build.prop would have to be changed, or spoofed.
(Ps- I have a g3, and I lack these features like moto display really badly.)
Edit: forgot to mention that the reason is a custom ROM. I don't have the LG G3 (just to clarify)

Most likely not, as many of them are dependant on the framework, other compiled libraries and are tailored specifically to the hardware...

Yes, but it should work across all Motorola devices. The moto actions apk is available on the play store and is same for all devices supporting it.
However, I'm not sure about if these things are kernel or ROM depended. I'm inclined to think that it's the former, as (suitable) Motorola devices apparently have the necessary always-on hardware.

I'll post them once I get my hands on the phone

[APP][WIP] Debloated ES File Explorer (No spying, weird popups, etc)

(If you don't want to wait, I see someone's uploaded v3 right here. There's also a solution on the app store called Solid Explorer. Dev is really great as well as the app, and it works with systemless root.)
Hello. If you're like me, you've been using ES for a really long time. It's a really stable solution, and since I have nothing to do, why not debloat one of the best file managers made?
First off, I removed some unnecessary permissions from "app_permissions_en.txt". Saved the new one as *.txt, and the old one as *.txt.old (* being app_permissions_en). The thing is, I don't know if some of the ones I removed are required for root functionality, so that's why I saved the original one separately. There was a "dxsomething" folder with an image for an ad, so I deleted that.
There's a .txt file name lc.txt, and it has this text in it: "d8JH9lPQkvto1uYe", anyone know what that is? Not bothering with it until I need to.
I'm going to stop here, test if basic file manager functionality works, and I'll get back to this thread.
Edit: yeah I've abandoned this project for various reasons. I haven't really had the time to work on it. sorry to everyone :/

You are doing a nice job mate, upload the debloated file and we can test it, cheers

Request/Suggestion Huawei P10 camera port

Hi, with the "shortcomings" of the essential camera app and the reality that the Google cam gets better images from just the color sensor. I'm wondering if anyone can get a port of the Huawei P10 camera app to make use of both sensors.

If you can find a P10 ROM with the stock camera app, you might be able to pull the apk. See if it installs and runs without the Huawei framework.

Also needs a stock boot.img, which means we need a system dump. Which should come, because Essential was pretty clear about being dev-friendly, but I'm gonna predict it comes in late September at the earliest after they've gotten past the launch problems.

I'm really hoping they stay true to their word. I think if they prove to not be very dev friendly that'd be the only thing to make me regret my purchase. As of right now I'm enjoying the phone but dying for some themes

I think we might have better luck with the OnePlus 5 Camera2.apk. It installs and works (except for Pro Mode). The quality doesn't seem quite as good as the GoogleCam mod, but it might be a decent starting point since the OP5 has dual cameras.

I couldn't get that apk to install - my phone asked me what app I wanted to open the file with and package installer wasn't in the list. Plague Inc was though, of all things

I would like to see a P10 port too but I guess we will have to wait for now. I don't think theres anything to gain from the oneplus 5 app as while it might be dual sensor the setup is not the same. The OP5 has two colour sensors one high mega pixel telephone so offer cleaner zoom and depth. The huawei p10 has a setup closers to the PH-1 combining a colour and monochrome image.

The Essential cam app is never going to do well if they can't figure out why it's compressing the images. Gcam works great.
