Hi,
first of all thanks a lot for getting this gem available for us Mi2s users.
Testing with true dual boot, BUT installing LP on "/system" i.e system1 from CWM.
Everything good with naked Android, but now I want to install the gapps, and here it fails.
I tested gapps-lp-20141107-signed.zip and gapps-lp-20141107-small.zip (you can find it there https://yadi.sk/d/HMFRTJarcjLZq)
I first wiped /cache, /system from CWM, flashed aosp-aries-4.11.11-android-5.0.0.ivan.zip within "install from zip" in CWM.
Booted it to see how it works: fine. Rebooted to CWM and then flashed gapps.
With big gapps : no google play available, i can add a google account from the settings > accounts > add Google Account,
but then I got from Hangout, Gmail messages like "Google Play Services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."
So framework services got a problem apparently.
with small gapps : I got a Google Play icon in the application menu, but as soon as it starts, it just closes making the screen flicker for a microsecond. And it's not possible to add google account in the Setting > Account.
Guys, any hint about that problem with gapps ?
EDIT: I will investigate the size problem of /system mentionned here http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...-problem-wcm-11-20140608-snapshot-m7-epicmtd/ and go again for the gapps-small version.
EDIT2: even with disabling TDB the "Google Play Service" problem persists
Cheers

there is an update
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2248477701&uk=3926100596

yeah Bucci, well actually in-between there was an update, that worked without a problem with the Gapps : 4.11.28.
Now this update (4.12.5, http://en.miui.com/thread-67452-1-1.html, better to give the real forum post, than DL link IMHO) removes built-in GMS and after manually flashing different GAPPS, it never works and Play forces closes.
I don't know what Ivan did with the integration of GMS in 4.11.28, but it worked fine :-/
PS: well okay, after wiping everything and flashing againg 4.12.5 + gapps-lp-small, that's indeed working. Forget about it.

[share] "remove gapps completely"

[FLASHABLE ZIP]
The zip provided below can be used to remove whole gapps package that is included in some custom Roms ,so that u can flash u r own desired gapps again [switch gapps] or if u want to use custom Roms without gapps.
Remove GApps in ROM: now support Marshmallow
Script in first post very discounted and therefore deleting not all files.
Here's updated version. Script automatically mounts /system, you don't need do it by yourself.
Script compatible with Android 2.3...6.0
Guaranteed delete will be only on CyanogenMod rom's and Nexus firmware due of possible other file naming in manufacturer stock firmware.
Probably some small bits of files can left on device (like WebView), but almost all other will be removed.
Note: script removes apps from /system partition.
Probably some of them was updated and additionally stored in internal memory.
So you need manually delete a bit of remainders by usual way.
IMPORTANT!
– Maybe some stuff or whole ROM will broken after applying this ZIP
– Script removes stock Google / CM keyboard, install 3rd party before applying!
– Script removes Google Experience Launcher, so make sure you use 3rd-party app or device will not boot!
– Script removes Hangouts, so make sure you use 3rd-party SMS app or you may unable use SMS!
– ..and may other
– Apps with embedded Google Maps such as Foursquare, Instagram and many other can't be launched / installed by any way because of lack of framework for it
– A lot of apps requests installed Google Play Store and Google Play Services which will be removed
– Network location can be disabled because it's part of gapps
– Recommended to wipe dalvik/ART-cache to rid out of unused cache files
>>> Use it at your own risk and make full backup via recovery before flashing! <<<

[GUIDE] Ad removal - Debloat - Block OTA: easy TWRP install scripts

[SIZE=+3]TWRP scripts: Ad removal - Debloat - Block OTA[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]Amazon Prime Variant and OEM Variant[/SIZE]
Tested on Prime and OEM variants. Please report back if any issues​
[SIZE=+1]This guide only require you to be able to boot TWRP. You can follow this TWRP install guide and perform the installation of these .zip files AFTER step 8) (You must backup your system in case anything goes wrong, you will also need this backup to perform any future OTA, such as the one activating band 12). You can either stop there after installation, or proceed to the following steps if you want to have root access.[/SIZE]​
[SIZE=+1]All .zip have to be installed using the TWRP "Install" function. You will need to download them on your phone or copy them on a SD card. You do not need to install all these packages at once. These scripts do not install or remove anything on /system, they only rename some files. All scripts can be extracted and opening "update-binary" with your favorite text editor will allow you to see exactly what is done (always a good idea if you are concerned with your device security), and customize it if you wish.
This will only rename the stock apps in your /system. If an update was performed, or if you used the app previously, the app and it's files may still be present on your device /data even after running these scripts but you will be able to uninstall them as any other app. This also means that you can rerun these scripts after a future OTA and they will not erase any app you reinstalled yourself on /data.
A "reset all" script is also provided to restore all apps and unblock OTA.
You can individually restore any app by using a file manager with root access (or TWRP built-in one) and rename any "*.apk_" to "*.apk", app will show up again after the next reboot.
[/SIZE]​
[SIZE=+1]Disable ads, block OTA and Amazon PARTIAL debloat "bluR1-AMZ-PARTIALdebloat-blockOTA"[/SIZE]​This package will remove all the ads from your Prime phone and block future OTA. You DO NOT need to reset / wipe your phone after installation.
It will also remove all Amazon apps from your system except for the Amazon Underground app store (recommended).
This option allows automatic background updates from the amazon app store and do not need you allow the installation of packages from unknown sources.
[SIZE=+1]Disable ads, block OTA and Amazon FULL debloat "bluR1-AMZ-FULLdebloat-blockOTA"[/SIZE]​This package will remove all the ads from your Prime phone and block future OTA. You DO NOT need to reset / wipe your phone after installation.
It will also remove all Amazon apps from your system including the Amazon Underground app store.
[SIZE=+1]Google PARTIAL debloat "bluR1-GOOGLE-debloat"[/SIZE]​This package will remove SOME stock Google apps that can be easily downloaded from the google play store and are not required for the system.
This will only remove apps in the /system partition. This means that if you downloaded or reinstalled some of the apps they won't be removed by the script. It also means that if you previously used the phone and some apps were updated they will still be installed in your /data/app, but you will be able to uninstall them manually as any other app.
List of removed apps and their Google Play link for easy reinstall:
Google Search bar on home screen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

[SIZE=+1]Mediatek and BLU PARTIAL debloat "bluR1-MTK_BLU-debloat"[/SIZE]​This package will remove SOME stock Mediatek and BLU apps.
Remove useless BLU app and Opera preinstaller.
Remove the ugly File Manager app. Replace it by any other file explorer app is you like.

Now I'm tempted to buy the 50 version, would this leave your phone as stock?

I do not have access to a stock ROM or nandroid backup to compare everything so I can't be 100% sure but as far as I know pretty much yes.

Scripts worked perfect and didn't delete the Google apps I actually use! Thanks!

Problems after Factory Reset
after factory reset got a Error looping, “Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped.”
Method to bypass problem,
1. Boot into TWRP Recovery
2. Mount System ( Mount → check System )
3. Advanced → File Manager
4. Browse to /system/priv-app/Setup-Wizard
5. Delete it
Also, home button and menu button doesn't work
(had to restore from backup)

Or in between the pop up error messages you can go to Settings-> Apps->App Permissions and give Setup Wizard the necessary permissions.

So to clarify I can use the script to also disable ota for a prime that's been converted to OEM? excellent

I am a Prime-Member and would like to buy two NEW BLU R1 HD - 16 GB - Black - Prime Exclusive - with Lockscreen Offers & Ads:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H2E0J5M/ref=twister_B01G7TG6SW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
However, since I am buying these two cellphones for my sons, and I don't want that they have access to my amazon account details...
So, I would like to know if these phones will come fully registered to my Amazon account, or if it is possible to block or unregister these phones to my Account ?
So, my Amazon Orders, List and Shopping Cart, can not be seen or used by my sons ?
At first and if not totally necessary, I not want to root or modify nothing on this Blue phone... I just would like to totally block in some simple way, my Amazon account that I will use to purchase these phones, possibly because both will come already registered to the same account.

They do not come registered to your account at all. Signing into an amazon account is an option during setup, but not required.

Thanks for letting me know that these BLUE phones, not come pre-registered to an amazon account...
That's just what I wanted to know before ordering my two phones.

This is strange. What phone version do you have? (Prime, normal, Prime converted to normal, etc)
Is the Gallery App gone? If yes try to uninstall the file explorer manually like any other app, else try to run the script again to be sure nothing went wrong.

I have the prime version. I flashed TWRP plus superSU and Xposed. The gallery app is gone. I tried installing the script again but the file manager is still there.

Found the problem. Please redownload the script from the original post, I updated it and it should now remove properly the file manager.
Thank you for your bug report!

Thanks so much for this.
Also wanted to let people know that I removed Google Play Service and Google Play (store) without any issues so far.
I will update this post if I run into any problems.
Thanks again!

Any way to make the Camera app launch Google Photos? It now just gives me an error since I removed the Gallery app...

lostman1027 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, use of the default gallery app is hardcoded in the camera app.
You can only launch Google Photos using the shortcut displayed after taking a new picture.
If you use an alternative camera app (I use Open Camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera ) these will correctly launch Google Photos or any other default gallery app.

For testing purpose (seems to work ok on my phone) here is an update of the scripts.
These ones will not delete the apps in /system but rename them from *.apk to *.apk_ effectively disabling and hiding them.
Two main advantages:
- Each app can easily be individually disabled/reactivated using TWRP builtin file explorer or any file explorer with root access by renaming them back to *.apk.
- Easily revert to an out of the box state to be able to apply an OTA update by simply using "bluR1-RestoreApps-OTA.zip" script. This will "rebloat" your system. If you installed root etc you still have to take care of this yourself.
If you are giving these scripts a try, please report success / failure so I can eventually update the original post.
Edit 09/10/2016: scripts updated to debloat non-prime phones, restore script released.
Edit 10/01/2016: scripts are now available on OP, beta is over. Thanks to the few testers that reported back!

Oops, wrong thread.

S7 Edge 6.0.1 g-935fd - Microsoft Office issue

Hi all,
Pardon me if I am asking a relatively dumb question.
I have an S7 edge on 6.0.1, G935FD, rooted.
Microsoft Office, basically Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and One Drive, came preinstalled.
I cannot seem to create a new file.
I have two options for the file's file location. Either it saves in the cloud through One Drive or at the local device storage.
If I choose to save to the cloud, I can create a file.
If I change it to local device storage, I get an error which reads: "Office can't create your file right now. Please try again later."
Here are the things I have tried:
Delete cache.
Clear dalvik through TWRP.
Deleted updates and reupdated.
Uninstalled apps through System App Remover.
Reinstalled updates, tried to convert app from system app to user app then uninstalled and reinstalled.
After all that, I still have the same issue.
Any advice?

Try to use system uninstaller, remove those apps, reinstall from the playstore and try again
Also if you have xposed framework try to hide root from those apps
Didn't try any of those as i'm not rooted
EDIT: just rooted my phone (SM-G935FD) using chainfire autoroot and Offices apps are working fine including save, try to unroot then test again if working using chainfire method to root again

Settings -> Applications -> Word -> Permissions
I'm on the Nougat beta so not sure if the order is exactly that but something similar anyway. Check if Storage is enabled. If it isn't, enable it and do the same for the other Office apps.

Thanks. I'll go ahead and try these.

Thanks, I've checked permissions and they are a-ok!

I used the system uninstaller by jumobile and it's leaving a data folder com.microsoft.excel and i cant delete it. I think it leaves it there so in the event that i do a full system restore the apps will get reinstalled.

Update. I was able to get it to work!
Moved it from a system app to a user app, then uninstalled. Rebooted the phone, then downloaded microsoft excel in playstore. Fixed!!
I think it was in the order of how I did the steps with the reboot.

(GUIDE) youtube bug fix for lollipop 5.1

How to fix YouTube bug in Lollipop 5.1
*****
This method I have tried and the truth that has not failed me once.
As we know, YouTube has a bug that stops playback on the moto x1 with Lollipop, even if you could not play it anymore, you had to restart, which was not happening in KK.
------------------------------------------
In order to solve it you need:
Root
* Titanium backup or any app that lets you delete system apps, you can also delete it from system /
* The youtube app that I leave
Https://mega.nz/#!sAhy3Z7L!2_TvVu5tisN36LvobXaj1r9SnHlQBT6Y_WtuVrGivPU
------------------------------------------------
Process::::
--- First they must erase YouTube with titanium backup or with their explorer.
--- Once deleted, restart the cell phone
--- Once you have started, install the version that leaves them up and ready.
--- You do not have to update the app. (Desactive autoupdate from Google play)
-------------------------------------------------

Yes, work perfect!

Just installed. Let's test

status code 1
amazing, but my status code is 1 and i just can't delete any system app like youtube, even as my device came unlocked
does anyone know if i can use any xploit like downgrading to -4.4.2 to gain system write access?
