[Newbie needs help] I Just installed temasek's KANG build - LG Optimus 2x

Ok this might sound retarded but I just installed a new rom (temasek's KANG)on my phone after some of you guys suggested it to me.
Anyways, it worked fine, but the ROM doesn't include Google play or Gmail app? wtf? Why would that not be included? I can't do anything without google play I can't install any of my apps...
I tried installed the APK files for google play and when I start it it says :
"You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now ?" When I click Yes, the app just closes back to home screen....
The gmail app crashes in a similar way
I've on this for hours.. you can't imagine how much I've been messing with my phone for stuff to work properly and there is always something retarded like this not working... :|
edit:
also I can't seem to be able to delete apps, why is this?

You need to flash a separate addon called gapps which includes essential google files and the market (play store). Gmail is downloadable from market.
Download gapps from here and flash from recovery.

I also installed the latest Temasek's build but I'm having a problem with battery drain. Back when I used stock based roms and horsepower kernel my phone would lose about 7% battery while it was idle during the night. Now I got to bed and when I wake up my phone has lost 20-30% of its battery. I know this isn't the right forum but since I can't post in dev section and Temasek has replied to this thread maybe I could get a little help?

Help, please!
I'm new here and the first ROM I've tried installing was RC1 91 but after I finished the procedure, my phone doesn´t leave LG home screen and rebooting. What did I do wrong?
Steps:
- Root;
- Download the ROM;
- Copy in external memory;
- Power off the phone;
- Boot in recovery;
- Backup current ROM;
- Wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset;
- Wipe dalvik cache
- Finally, flash ROM and reboot.
And the restore isn´t work too.

this is how I flash a new Rom, whats wrong?

Hi every one, I'm really tired from trying new Rom's every 24H :cyclops: , non of them was stable , so I made this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29336253#post29336253 ) and got Surprised that some of friends said there is too many stable Rom's ,so I start thinking is there some thing wrong with what I do ! and here is the list:
1- wipe data + cash
2- wipe devlak cash +battery state
3- go to storage and format every thing but SD card
4-flash the rom
5-sing in in my Google account than backup my contacts
6- open file manger then downloading MyBackUp Pro and restore my App's
7- sing in my FB, twitter, instgram,whatsapp,viber...
8-sync my FB contacts
9- charge my phone fully then apply battery Calibration
10- start using my phone
while after stable using , FB and twitter start to force close , than I got the message :the process com.google.gapps ..... force close ,also the process include the word (media) ,I turned off the phone and restart it , the phone is stack at logo , so why this is keep happening to me , and plz if there any recomandation for a stable rom and a kernal that gave a good battery life+low temperature (since I live in a country where 37 degree noun as a nice weather )
​
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
You're making this way to complicated,
This is all you need to do.
Dont restore the app from mybackpro. It gives FC a lots of time.
Hey
You need to flash the rom and KEEP it that way for some time after finishing the set up..
plus you are loading too many apps(i m guessing)...use astro instead...and flash only a lil apps...
after a day or two u can flash how many ever apps you phone can support...
and u dont really need to Clear boot stats and format everything...

[Q] i9000 update cm 10.1 to 10.2 - Prob. with Google account

Hallo,
i have a problem with updating cm 10.1 to 10.2 on my i9000. Like i say, i had allready cm 10.1 and prior to that 10.0 and helly bean. Till now everything was fine and every update was OK. I have allready root rights.
Now i tried to flash cm 10.2 like that;
1.
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvic cache
- flash cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip - 2 times
- flash gapps 10.2.x 20130813
- reboot system now
After reboot, i'm in the welcome modus - i choose German - then start - then i can choose the connection WLAN or skip with data. In this part i get allready an error massage "com.google.android.gsf.login" and "unfurnatly google account manager was shut down". After that i'm back again in the choose-connection area. After chosing WLAN or skip and use data, i always get the above mentioned message.
Restore 10.1 again
2.
like above, but extra mounts and storage - format /system
- Result like 1
3.
Just update from 10.1 to 10.2 with CWM, without wipe data/factory reset - wipe cache partition - wipe dalvic cache.
- Result 4.3 is on my mobile, but there ist still the error massage from above.
4.
like 3, but i deleted the Google account in 10.1. Just uodated to 10.2 without wiping.
- Result -> no error massages, but i can't add google account. I clik on add account - google -> but nothing happen.
I don't know what to do. Do somebody have any idea? Where is my oult?

Your foult is that you didn't read pawitp's opening post carefully. All steps untill gapps were fine, then after gapps you should have remained in CWM recovery and go to advanced restore and restore your /data from last nandroid backup from cm10.1, it works perfectly well.
I would advice you not to install 20130824 build anymore as it has some serious bugs (I run it in my i9000 and it works perfectly fine but some people had total re-formatting ofntheninternal SD card and data lost) but wait now for just short, any moment nightly 20130827 will be uploaded. The bugs are fixed there.
Then you can repeat proceeding once again as above and accomplish with /data restore. Then it should work fine again
Ok, i try it
Last question before i try, i have to restore just /data, wich backup do i have to do, full backup or just /data?
Thanx a lot

OK, now the new nightly build is there, CM10.2 20130827
Do all your steps as above (download zip, go to recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache under "advanced", install 20130827 zip, stop here) now new:
if your last installed build is 10.2 you have already installed gapps for CM10.2 so you can skip re-installing them again
now go to "advanced restore" and choose your last nandroid backup of the CM10.1, where your google account was still working fine
choose now from your last nandroid file the option: "restore /data"
after restore is finished go back to main menu and reboot the system
Unless if you have formatted your SD card meanwhile, all your data will be back like they were in the CM10.1 (also your google account) and your new CM10.2 will work fine.
For thanking, it is common in this forum to click on "thanks" button left beyond all the posts which you find to be helpful
Hy, i tried what you said. I restored 10.1 before it
*
wipe data / factory reset - wipe cache - advanced .. wipe dalvic cache*- install 10.2
then - flash gapps for 10.2
then - restore just data
reboot system
*
4.3 is on my mobile, google account seems to be OK. But then i recognized, that my Contacts, Keep, Google+ and some other points doesn't synchronize. I've tried flash gapps again, then restore data -> error massage "google account closed"
*
My next step was to do above mentioned again - same error massage
*
So, i do it again. After wipe data / factory reset - wipe cache a.s.o. i had a look in my storage/sdcard0. It was full of old data, so i extra formated /system and formated /storage/sdcard0. After that i flashed 10.2 and gapps again and restored data. I receive the same sh.. error again and google account doesn't work.
*
Now i restored 10.1 again completely
*
Any idea?

Did you enable contacts sync in your accounts? Other thing you can do is to export all your contacts (in "people" ) as vfc data and after the upgrade import it from your SD card. I did that as I don't like google sync functions (for having few accounts) so I only enabled sync for the apps.
Other great thing is to use free app "SMS backup&restore" and "Call logs backup&restore" (by the same developer) from play store. The apps work for any android version and backup data is compatible to restore as well
Try to post in the development thread of nightly cm10.2 for i9000 or read through, I think also somebody else reported problems with google account, maybe it is solved why it happened.
BTW: for next flashing don't use nightly 20130827 anymore as the new 20130828 is out and it has many bug fixes

Hy, i'm again. I try it with the newest cm, with the same result. I flashed exactly like the developer said. No error message, but play store, contacts and some other things don't work.
I would like to post in the development Center, but I am a to young forum member.
Maybe you could post for me my problem or the link to this posts?

Just one question: did you flash the gapps for 4.3 as well? Developer pawitp is a genious person and he doesn't mention it anymore in his first posts (he thinks that everybody knows it.....)
If you didn't, you can do it later as well, just download them and install zip in recovery mode..... Sorry if it doesn't work. Then would be better to wait untilmstable version is released. CM 10.2 works in my i9000 amazing, but another people report bugs.
Of course, i flashed gapps for 4.3. Some user posted in developement thread, that they solved the problem with the google account with Titanium Backup. They restored data with TB. Do you know what i have to backup / restore: user apps & data & system data?
*
Could you*post a question fpr me in the developement thread if this problem is known to the developers and if they have a resolution? Maybe they are allready working on it and solve the problem in next nightlys?

No, mate, if you meant CWM recovery. I would also use Titanium backup app for that, there can't go so wrong.

you have no idea how little free time I have. But you're already on 5 posts, just five more and you will be able to post the questions in development threads. It is anyway better that you describe what the problem is. I think I saw in CM10.2 thread yesterday that the developer pawitp works on that.
EDIT: BTW, restoring /data from nandroid backup made with CM10.1x under CWM recovery -->advanced restore is possible without problems. But I think we have mentioned that already in last posts...
OK, I can understand you.
What do I have to do first: flash gapps or restore /data?
have you checked that dataprotection for these apps is not enabled?

I've posted your question and left link to this thread in the CM10.2 development topic. Hope somebody will answer soon.
If your Google account worked well in CM10.1x, I would say you should try this way:
download the newest CM10.2 nightly zip (20130830) directly here: http://get.cm/get/amd
download Google Apps zip for Android 4.3
run CWM recovery mode
try option "install zip" and don't install yet, just check if your zip files are visible for the CWM recovery in the folder where you saved them
return to main menu and wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache under "advanced"
install zip CM10.2 nightly
install GApps for 4.3
go to "advanced restore" and choose your last nandroid backup file made by CM10.1 build where your Google account worked well
now choose (from that nandroid backup file) the option "restore /data"
after your data are restored, go back to the main menu and reboot the system
Let me know if it worked. Please quote at least little bit of my text (click "reply" beyond my post) so I will get the notification that you've quoted me, otherwise I don't see when you answer
p.s. good point by @Marvi70 just one post before (this one) mine

BTW, after your post about Titanium Backup I've tried indeed to restore data only from my old backup of Angry Birds app, it went perfectly well
Backup file was done with rooted Froyo 2.2 and restored in CyanogenMod 10.2
Before importing the data saved in different ROM, I used the settings exactly like described on the website of Titanium. I've checked again CM development posts about Titanium backup and they talk indeed about the one shouldn't restore whole apps.... but data only seems not to be a problem!
Big thanks, mate!

Newer drivers will not connect with device in download mode.
Works with XP and will not work with win 8.
nice one didn't realize anyone else was deving for our phones. I'll test it out later after i get initial release up for AOIP CE.
Fantastic! I'll let you know if GPS doesn't work. I use it everyday during my runs.
edit*
GPS does work for me. The ROM does boot and works, but it's somewhat slow at times. The browser crashes. I tried clicking the news tab on the google main page. AND... everything is tiny. I'm not sure if that's how kit kat is suppose to look or not. Wow, they weren't kidding when they said kit kat uses little ram. Bluetooth also works... I paired my phone to my Windows 8.1 laptop successfully. I was able to play music on my phone through my laptop speakers, view files stored on my phone and send and receive files.
Thanks for the hard work and bringing us 4.4. Going to give it a whirl and see what happens!
I have heard of some issues with the stock browser on some other devices, due to webviewapi but everyone says chrome works fine. Don't know if that's helpful or the case here. Downloading now, eager to try some Kit Kat.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
I use chrome and it performs well enough that I never tested stock browser. chromewebview takes forever to compile, but I'll look at it later.

Let us know how camera works with ion, I think that's why arco switched back to pmem, but I'll try helping when you're there.
DPI
I went into the build.prop and changed the DPI to 240, I'm sure most folks know how to do that but thought I'd mention it for those who are wondering so all apps will be compatible & such.
On another note Titanium Backup is not showing all apps in batch restore mode that I have backed up, but when I view the Backup/Restore list they are all there. Might be a 4.4 bug.
Thanks for the effort to bring Kit Kat to our phone, hope you'll feel welcome to our community!

Might be st with the storage mounting points. I know usbdisk is logging a fit and sdcard1 doesn't seem mounted properly, so sdswap may be a temp issue.

Yeah because any system apps can be restored, and just a handful of user apps. 90% of the apps are being read as data only backups. Not sure what else to do at this point. Going to restore my nandroid, backup again and re-flash the ROM. Oddly enough the Play store didn't give the option of just downloading all of them again like it normally does. At any rate if I can't get my apps restored in bulk I won't be able to do this. Manually it would take forever and a day.
I have to tell you however your ROM is very light and smooth with zero tweaks. I'd really like to get this going if I can!
It could be superuser. Try supersu?

Thanks since you are deving roms I can skip making my own rom then and focus more on ION :highfive:. Ya acro switched back because the cam driver has to be rewritten from scratch to work with it. It's not a biggie for me just mostly time consuming but it will be well worth the effort to keep our phones going longer and break the 3000 mark on quadrant :fingers-crossed: You should check out AOIP CE when it's up if ya like the installer I can mod/make one for you :angel:

Don't tell anyone I suggested this, but as long as you have enough nandroids I suspect it can't hurt to try restoring just data from the backup and seeing if KitKat can cope with updating your JB-based data. Worst case nothing works and you have to go back to this unfortunate plan, but you might get away with it. Despite everyone's advice I haven't started from scratch since CM10 -- when moving to AOIP I just wiped ROM and cache but not data. When I briefly tried AOIP 2.0 I saw a message on the screen about "upgrading contacts database". So the bottom line is that Android knows how to handle version upgrades -- which makes sense, because the manufacturer OTA updates don't usually wipe your data.
With AOIP 1.5 the only trouble I had after my unorthodox migration was a crash in the calculator app and it went away when I performed "clear data" on just that app. So it might be worth a try.
[I didn't try asking Android to downgrade data when I switched back from AOIP 2.0 to 1.5 though... I restored the data from my last 1.5 nandroid at that point.]

Don't tell anyone I suggested this, but as long as you have enough nandroids I suspect it can't hurt to try restoring just data from the backup and seeing if KitKat can cope with updating your JB-based data. Worst case nothing works and you have to go back to this unfortunate plan, but you might get away with it. Despite everyone's advice I haven't started from scratch since CM10 -- when moving to AOIP I just wiped ROM and cache but not data.

I was a little skeptical I might get FCs out the wazoo but this actually works, for the most part. It breaks system settings however (no surprise). Only problem is now RAM Expander can no longer use the swap file, even if recreated. Get the "invalid argument" error after creation, although the file is there.
This was a great tip though as most all apps work just fine with no FCs. If I can get Expander working and Viper all will be well.
Edit: Swap files will not work with this ROM. Probably has something to do with path issues, IDK. Viper does not work either but that is a common issue among 4.3 and 4.4 ROMs. Oh well. Still this is nicely done, very lightweight and functional. 4.4 is going to have issues until app devs can catch up.
Great work and first effort @jfbs. I have a feeling I'll be back to try future updates.

6. Cant install apps from PS, says no free storage, how to fix?

- Set your phone selinux to permissive, then use root ex delete the package folder in data/data .. ex Im failed to install bbm, delete the com.bbm folder
8. Cant import theme from sdcard, what to do?
- The new MIUI at default doesnt allow you to apply theme which not from their store, but try other theme, theres some of theme still can be imported
9. Issues with downloading, how to fix?
- Turn off the xunlei download engine at download - settings, also set the limit to unlimited
10. Navbar is too small, how to fix?
- If u want alternative, use MiPop 2.0 .. im reduced its size due to fix some of layout bugs. To remove the navbar add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" without " in the bottom of the build.prop then push Mipop.apk to system/priv-app
11. How to show messenger chat heads?
- Download app-ops app from playstore, install then reboot, after that search for messenger permission, enable the draw over blabla permission : thanks to Kishan Kumar for the guide

A huge thanks for this Rom was waiting for different ui.
It would be great if u will provide some screen shots
Screenshots
I havent found any fc
Hoping that the sim bug will be fixed soon
I dont mind using the Single SIM as I use it for single sim most of the time. Thank you for sharing it here. I'm downloading it now.
an awesome rom
This is the best rom I have ever used on my Sparkle V. Very smooth ,
but I found a bug - while backing up data on local storage the phone hangs and reboots itself in a minute, but that's not a major issue.:good:
guys, I tried flashing, but failed. ,
- first I tried wipe everything, and then flash. But flash or rom failed, giving sole softlink issue. I tried multiple times, but failed. Finally, fixed issue by having another 4.4.4 rom installed first and then flashing this rom without wiping system
- once flash was successful, I rebooted device, but it keeps looping wihout booting up. OP suggested multiple iterations of (battery remove, goto recovery, wipe dalvik, boot) , but I am in my 7th attempt and device not booting still.
How many times you guys had to wipe dalvik? Very much anxious to test this MIUI rom !
Flash why philz
Do not flash gapps it was bootlooping

thanks @yadavdharmendar, I am installing from philz, and I avoided installing gaps as well. Still not luck. I get Simlink error.
I am coming from FIUI rom. Not sure if that matters (as anyway I am wiping everything before starting rom flashing).
I was on Fiui too
Then i flash cm11 ,then miui

thanks! But why you installed CM11 first before installing Miui. OP didn't asked for it. Just curious to know!
And where you got CM11 from? From Cyanogenmod download page for "sprout"?

Thanks all. Installed cm11, then installed ROM with the patch, and avoided flashing any gapps. It worked! Just one bootloop, which went away after wiping dalvik.
Thanked OP!!
BTW, any ways to make the navigation buttons look big. And possibly increase bar height?
about 2nd sim
bro plz plz get 2nd sim working.
thanks for your work and you are awesome.
@teztaz--v3
how to make navigation bar transparent ?
and a big thanks for your beautiful awesome work
no FCs seen so far!! Looks perfectly usable as daily rom.
Just one problem seen :
Can not install Google maps. Says insufficient space, which is strange. Also failed to install Link2SD. Tried even installing from ADB, gave error INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED. Hope Miui is not blocking it.
Every thing is fine bro its super rom but I can't move apps to SD card
Thanks bro! gr8 work! bt can u make e single zip with all fixes? people will get confused with so many patches
