Hello,
I've been starting to cook my own rom under Clockwork, but ran into trouble when putting apps into system/app. They aren't installed on boot, because they aren't from a trusted source.
*SwypeInstaller, for example, is given through e-mail by the swype team, but cannot be cooked, as it doesn't come from the market (need "allow untrusted sources to be ticked)
*I understood signing isn't enough, and that a custom certificate is needed?
I'd like to know how to do that kind of stuff, in order to batch-cook some roms, and to avoid manual install or titanium install or recovery install of system apps.
>Good example is fasterfix, install like a charm upon first boot
I'd need a very simple explanation, i know how to use adb for example and zipsigner and stuff, but i'm not really into the Linux thingie
Edit : A way to disable certificate check on first boot will do as well ^^
Thanks
Up please!
Up! I really need help on this one, i can't cook swype installer on my personal rom updates :-(
I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
I finally succeeded in ROM'ing my phone, Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. I'm now running RR-N-v.5.8.3-20170502-jfltexx-Official.
I used TWRP to ROM my phone. During the ROM process I also installed OpenGapps and selected "Install TWRP on Reboot If It's Not There Yet". But, I was nevertheless left with a phone without any GoogleApps and without TWRP. I tried to install open_gapps-arm-7.1-aroma-20170324.zip and it seemed to be going well. I was presented with the "what do you want to install" screen. I went with the defaults. In this case did the defaults mean "install nothing?"
Questions:
How do I install the correct version of TWRP?
What is the correct version of OpenGapps and how do I install it?
I also need to install Titanium Backup?
I have Android SDK and ADB installed on my Linux laptop. I briefly tried it out and it seemed cool, and it communicated with my Android device.
You already HAVE TWRP installed. Without TWRP you can't flash any ROMs, gapps or any other shenanigans. So if you say you don't have TWRP, how did you flash the ROM?
Default gapps are a BIG package. You may not have enough space for it. Besides, do you even need every single Google app present in the default package? I doubt it. The only thing you truly need is the Play Store and the framework to make it work. Everything else is optional and can be downloaded from said Play Store.
Thanks, this time I successfully rebooted to TWRP and did the GApps install again. This time I did Checked-And-Green to select the Gapps I want. But I still don't see any Gapps in the launcher. Why is that?
Oops, I installed GApps Stock version, I was glad to see the apps successfully intalling, but now it's like I have a Google Phone. Many Google Apps I don't need or use. Now I'll have to re-Flash RR and figure out how to install only the Google Apps I want (Google Play app store, Inbox, and a few others). Mainly Google Play so I can install Titanium Backup. Maybe I'll see if I can download an APK for Titanium Backup and then restore the apps I want.

try the nano GApps package, or micro package.
they have just what you need.
or try the aroma package, in the Aroma package you get to choose what you want to install.
Open Gapps Micro still begins the first reboot in a Google phone mode, that's disappointing. Also, I'm required to type in fields like Gmail address and password, but apparently I don't have a keyboard app only entry by voice. And I am unable to enter the email address because it does not allow me to vocally spell an email address. I liked the Resurrection Remix theme and launcher. How do I get back to that after I flash Open Gapps?

the "Google phone" expression you're saying is a must have in all android devices, if I'm not wrong you're referring to the setup wizard, the setup wizard is there no matter what phone you have, if you factory reset you start with a similar setup wizard.
the keyboard issue isn't a GApps fault, it's a ROM fault, keyboard should exist no matter what GApps you flashed, anyway if you want to skip the setup wizard, then try flashing the ROM only and let it boot then double check everything including the keyboard, after that boot into recovery and flash GApps.
the phone should now boot with GApps installed and you will directly see the lock screen of the phone...(no setup wizard)

Use the smallest package and download what you need from the play store. I already suggested this in my first reply when I said "you don't need the full package".
Open Gapps Aroma worked better this time. I selected only the Gapps I thought I need, but it was a complete enough selection that when I was given the Set-Up-Your-Google-Account I had a keyboard to fill in the fields. Then I selected the Trebuchet launcher which is the RR one I liked. Then I began restoring my apps using Titanium Backup. So far things are going well.
In Gapps Aroma, to install the app, it has to be checked off and green. The default, checked off and grey, means it will not be installed. That's confusing.

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.
