All i really want are themes to make my device look cool
and i heard you need roms to install themes
i unlock root device perfectly fine
but everytime i try to install a rom my device ****s up and im forced to reset
(the rom loads up but the device only has like 3 apps no play store and stuff like that, no google features which i like)
so it is possible on stock rom?
For custom roms you have to flash a Google Apps (Gapps) package separately. This contains all the google apps you need.
Btw, you can try installing Xposed Framework and XThemeEngine. They require root.
Or wait for the Themer app by MyScreenColor to be released. It will be a non-root app and contains awesome designer themes.

how do i know which Gapp i need?
im trying to install carbon 1.8
Most of the times, there are links for both the rom and the proper gapps package in the threads. If you can't find it there, download one from here: http://goo.im/gapps
I suppose you could just use a 3rd party launch that you could just re-theme? Not sure if you're talking more about the innards of the OS. I think your only option may be to root.
edit: someone already posted my idea, whoops.
Hi guys,
I've been using OmniROM for some time now and I'm liking a lot. I like their open source "philosophy" and so on but lately, I'm facing a problem that I cannot solve by myself.
I'm trying to find a way to install Play Store to gets some apps that I want/need but I don't want to install all the other Gapps that comes with the packages. I managed to get the apk but after installing it, I don't get it to work. It tries to start but before it even opens, it closes quickly...
Do I need something else in order to make it work?? Google services maybe? I wouldn't like to have more than Play Store if possible.
Greetings!

I believe PA gapps has a "micro" version which has the bare minimum needed for Play Store.
(FYI, most if not all of the Omni developers use PA Gapps - tkruzze does a great job.)
OK so I'll have to flash the Gapps...
What I don't like is that they overwrite some aosp apps :\
Ty anyway @Entropy512!
Edit: What about installing Play services + play store?? Would that be enough?

By the way @Entropy512 or anyone else, do you know which files are imperative to install Google Play (Google Play itself, GP services...)and which aren't? (Google tts...) I would like to install just the needed ones only.

TKruzze provides multiple packages for the GApps, and most of them don't overwrite the AOSP apps.
In fact, as I read it now, only the "Google Stock Package" do replace AOSP browser, Calendar, Camera, Launcher, TTS, Keyboard and SMS by default by their Google products' counterpart. And there is even an easy way, using this package, to prevent some or all the AOSP apps to be replaced -- read TKruzze's posts to find out how.
The other packages don't overwrite the AOSP apps (except AOSP Calendar becoming replaced by Google Calendar). By default, they install the Google apps along side the AOSP ones.

Yup. That's why I suggested the "micro" package - I'm fairly certain this doesn't overwrite anything and includes the absolute minimum for the Play Store to work.
Now what is annoying is that some of the Play Store versions of Google apps have the same package names as AOSP variants which causes conflicts. Google Camera is one such example, which is the reason I'm in the process of renaming the AOSP-derived camera package in Omni.
Thanks guys, I'm gonna try out those options and see which suits me better
Hello. I found new CM13 on China forum
Here is the ROM
Here are GAPPS (we need ARM x64) -
Thank you for sharing Does it support Italian?
Or even english?

No. It have just English and Chinese
I tried this yesterday. Only English and 3 chinese languages.
Works good, only recorded videos are not saved. Camera works fine.
Has some chinese apps pre-installed, but can be easily freezed with titanium.
Yeah a new rom, and it is a Cyanogenmod one ! I'll try it as soon as I can I'm happy that the developper community is active with the redmi 3
Thats a shame there is no other language. Could anyone please try using "More Locale" app from Google Play Store?
Using this rom for two days. Fast and nice Rom. A few preinstalled apps unistalled with system app remover. Only led is not blinking :crying: only lighting. Battery life looks a little worse with compare to Miui.
Thanks! It could be a good idea to compile a list of CM13 builds, I'm currently using the version from here, credit to 化工原理课, mirrored here

Hi

1. Overheating of phone, especially when the phones boots up
2. Screen lock and unlock implementation is broken, phone will restart if u unlock the screen
3. Flashing gapps will break the camera (Don't flash gapps if u want to use the camera)
4. Bundling of china apps (eg. Games, Marketplace, 360 browser, etc)
5. IR blaster doesn't not work
6. Video recording doesn't not work

I did a clean install. I wipe system, dalvik, cache, data and internal storage using twrp everytime before installing the rom.
And no, installing gapps did break the camera. I installed the lastest opengapps package (pico package) for android 6.0 (arm64). I got a 'Connect To Camera Error' and was unable to access the camera apps.
The camera work fine when I just install the rom without the opengapps package.
I can confirm that there is nothing wrong with the camera hardware in my phone as my camera work again after I restored the backup image of my phone (which ran the Cofface cm 12.1 rom) using twrp.
But to be fair, I encountered the same problems when I tried the other cm 13.0 roms as well.
With the OnePlus2 camera found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...pp-hydrogen-os-camera-port-oneplus-2-t3264013 it saves videos :victory: :victory: but audio is muffled and when recording, the video preview on screen is "out of phase", but definitively a big step further!

Air rom unfortunately you can't use some apps due to prerooted rom.
The first rom I used it but if you use any note 7 port the old ui seems outdated. I wish I could unroot someway the Air Rom which I use for daily driver but unfortunately I can't use an app that I need because it's prerooted.

Why dont U ask dev to Unroot it 4 u???? Give it a try. And as always U can unroot it by installing non rooted kernel after installing rom or inject non rooted kernel into Rom.zip. But, ask Dev, rom is great.
And, Note 7 Ports 4 me r better than s8 etc ports

When you are saying some apps are you talking about safetynet getting tripped? Why not just flash Spacelemon non-rooted and flash latest magisk with prop hide module to get it to work. I was able to pass safetynet with the latest version of AirRom at the time.

No worries for you being a newbie, but I just wanted to clarify that you can actually use restricted apps like Snapchat (created a burner account since I don't use it), Netflix, and Android Pay, etc.
Requirements:
- Lastest build from Bonuzzz (Mar.)
- Some basic knowledge on working Magisk
- Download Terminal app
- Possibly a third party file manager (ex. Solid Explorer, ES Files Explorer, etc.)
Steps:
- You need to download this and flash it in your recovery to remove pre-root from your device. https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/addonsu-remove-15.1-arm-signed.zip
- Head over to the Magisk thread and download the latest version of Magisk (16.0). https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
- Flash Magisk in your recovery and and open the Magisk Manager and update it when prompted.
- Head over back to the Magisk thread and download the MagiskHide Props Config module. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-simple-t3765199
- Open back up Magisk Manager click on the three dashes on the top left and click on the modules tab. Press the button that shows a plus sign and locate the module that you downloaded/saved on your device.
- It should then start flashing through the manager and prompt you to reboot.
- After reboot, download any terminal app (preferably Termux) and open it.
- Type in "Su" and grant it root access. Next, type "props" and it should open up onto an interface.
- Type in "1" to change your device fingerprint and type in "f" to pick a certified fingerprint.
- From here, you can choose whichever certified fingerprint your device wants to be recognized as (I used Samsung Note 5).
- After choosing your certified fingerprint, it will ask you to reboot.
- After reboot, head back into Magisk Manager and click on the SafetyNet Check (It might prompt you to download something). Eventually you should get the same test like in my picture.
- (Optional) Head back into recovery and wipe dalvik cache/cache.
Hopefully this helps out on your problem on apps not working or not letting you install them. Also, this can work for others too that don't use lineage but other Custom ROMs (AirRom, Nemesis, etc.). All you need to do is just install the latest SpaceLemon Non-rooted Kernel or manually unroot and continue with the steps on "Heading over to Magisk Threads". I do hope that this worked for others, and sorry if the instructions are either too long or really complicated on following.

No even with non rooted kernel and magisk hide props and safetynet passes correctly the app does not start due to root existance.I don't know what else to do.

For me the only solution was to flash the no root stock deodexed rom you wrote above earlier today. With air rom and doing every step to pass safetynet correctly the app recognises root whatever I do.
Just saying, but please don't create a thread like this on the Android Development page again.

Hi Everyone,
Here I'd like to Introduce you with my custom Gapps package that I use on day to day basis when I flash a new Rom. As I've observed many people struggling with finding the correct version of gapps to flash, I decided to build a package of my own which lets you flash stable google apps with a lot of variants so you can decide for yourself which package suits you.
What is NikGapps?
NikGapps project started with the goal to provide custom gapps packages that suits everyone's needs. A package that a user needs but cannot find and ends up setting up the device installing more apps and removing unwanted apps manually.
NikGapps is a gapps package built from my own device. As my device is always updated with latest version of Google Apps, every time I build a new package, I am on latest and stable version of Google Apps
NikGapps also comes with Android Go package for low end devices.
NikGapps is a bit different than other Gapps packages (written from scratch, it isn't a port of OpenGapps). It focuses on providing apps that most of the people uses but can't find it in other Gapps packages and ends up installing the apps manually
NikGapps supports split-apks
NikGapps also comes with nikgapps.config and debloater.config which allows you to control your installation and debloat unnecessary stuff from your Rom respectively.
NikGapps is built on a different architecture, the installation method is completely different (Every Package comes with installer.sh that installs itself). Also, it installs the gapps to /product partition instead of /system partition
NikGapps also allows you to configure the installation, it can be installed to any partition (be it /system or /product or any other partition which may get added in future)
NikGapps also allows you to keep the aosp counterpart of google app if you want (just by using nikgapps.config you can choose whether to remove the aosp counterpart or remove it)
NikGapps allows you to dirty flash it anytime you want, it also supports installing on top of Roms with Gapps (except for the pixel flavored Roms)
NikGapps also comes with addon packages (useful ones) so that users don't have to flash the whole gapps package just to have the app installed.
NikGapps supports the Privileged Permission Whitelisting, providing the necessary permissions to the privileged apps.
It supports addon.d so you need not flash the package again and again after every nightly flash
NikGapps addon.d functionality is built from scratch which allows you to completely control which app you want to backup/restore on dirty flash.
It also allows optimizing Google Play Services (when you turn off Find My Device) so that you can sleep with peace without having to worry about Google play services eating your battery. (Requires support from Rom too in order to work)
Also, since these are custom build, I can include as many packages as I want (which I do, you can pm me if you want that package)
NikGapps comes with following packages
» Core
» Basic
» Omni
» Stock
» Full
» Go (for low end devices)
Although these packages cover a large user base, there are few users who like things differently that is where NikGapps Addons Comes into picture. These Addon packages are separate and meant to flash over NikGapps original packages.

Hey can we have a package which will replace the default ROMs aosp apps like Google calendar, Google clock, Google dailer, Google contact, google message, google calculator, google gboard, youtube vanced, pixel launcher and wallpaper, Latest Gcam with all the goodies like playground ar sticker included if you cant provide it in a single zip then provide gcam all in one zip separately. Rest all other apps can be downloaded but these apps are needed as default apps in the ROM.

I'll create one tomorrow. I'll exclude pixel launcher as we can install it separately and there are ported versions available which are preferred over stock.
As for ar sticker in Google camera, I'll create a separate addon zip as the file size will increase tremendously and not everyone wants to install it.

EDIT:
Well for me its more comfortable using your mod in comparison with opengapps just because acelerate the setup of the phone, it has all that i need too, the only problem that i see is that a person who need more apps isn't the best, in that way probaly its better opengapps, anyway, the thing that contain youtube vanced is the best for me, so i really appreaciate your mod of gapps, thanks

Also please see if we can have basic Google addons like Digital Wellbeing, Google TTS, ARCore, Backup and Restore libs. . ?
The idea for the project is great, but to satisfy the configuration of everyone is kinda imposible. With opengapps we can customize each part that we want and I think the ultimate goal for this one could be like that, creating a "master package" with a small config file to just install the components we need (or just delete them from the zip file, with instructions of course)
This is a great idea, for starters can you post which all apps are included in the uploaded zip?

You're right, I used to create aroma gapps when I had Mido with me, unfortunately poco doesn't support aroma installer, that makes it difficult to serve everyone.
May be I will implement a way in which I will ask user to provide an input while installing a particular Google app through NikGapps (vol + button for 'yes' and vol - button for 'no'). Will have to check its feasibility. till then, I will provide 2 packages, one which is shared in OP and the other one with all the Google apps replacing stock aosp apps.

Certainly! Thanks for the tip!
I personally create a package which includes latest magisk, the kernel I prefer to flash, Google Sans fonts, some cool ringtones, notification tones, my favorite browser, mixplorer, SwiftKey, telegram, adaway, fk app, etc. In one zip. It pretty much covers all the basic apps. Let me know if anyone is interested in such kind of zip.

Will have to check its feasibility. till then, I will provide 2 packages, one which is shared in OP and the other one with all the Google apps replacing stock aosp apps.

It doesnt have to be aroma, currently Im still using custom opengapps config by a gapps-config.txt file that got read before it tries to install gapps. Making a script that determine some on off value should not be that bad, not that I know about how to actually code it

i will report my feedback later on lineage OS
EDIT:
Well for me its more comfortable using your mod in comparison with opengapps just because acelerate the setup of the phone, it has all that i need too, the only problem that i see is that a person who need more apps isn't the best, in that way probaly its better opengapps, anyway, the thing that contain youtube vanced is the best for me, so i really appreaciate your mod of gapps, thanks

Yeah, can you share your custom opengapps? I can code it but it will take some time.

It's an official feature of opengapps, I didn't make anything

It's certainly possible. The package I use personally has all these apps in it. Not everyone uses all the Google apps hence I included the bare minimum ones and the essential ones specific to our device.

OH! I never paid this much attention to opengapps since I had been using my gapps for a long time
Thanks for sharing! I'll certainly work on something which allows users to have a choice.

Yes, if choices is an option then it would be much cooler.
Also, do you have any experience with microg? Since if it's possible to to a package like this but with microg for people who wants to use the Google apps without the excessive battery & data hog nature of google play service, then it would be even better

I do have experience with microg but like I said earlier, I build the package from my device and I don't use microg as of now (last I used, it was unstable, couldn't use apps dependent on google libs like uber, not sure about it's current status) and building a package without having microg installed is not possible for me. However, I'm inclined to take requests/suggestions with regards to current package that I am providing.
Update!
