[Q] Properly installing a multi window mod on xxlsc roms - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So this is probably a stupid question, but the problem hes really been bugging me, recently with the release of the xxlsc roms many mods have been pubioshed to install mods for multi window. Now when ever I install a mod for multi window I get problems. I suppose I do know how the flash a mod, because I am able to install the black & white mod for the status bar. But whenever I install a mod for multi window (I have tried the unlimited apps mod and the multi instance app) I end up at the galaxy note boot screen and the phoen does not continue to boot... I did once fix permisscoins and cleared cache, but then I would get to the samsung boot logo and screen for a while, before returning to the galaxy note boot screen with "galaxy note n7000" written in b&w on the screen. I have tried this with cassie's rom, jzo64k's rom and alliancerom and all failed. So what I am doing wrong and how are you guys installing the mods?

instead of flashing , try replacing the mod files manually using root explorer.
open the zip you want to flash and look up for the folders in it. (eg app or lib or framework). in each of the folders there will be files that you will need to add or replace in the respective folders of the phone,
before replacing, copy the original files so that if there are FCs then you can get back to the original files. replace the files and set the permissions to rw-r--r--

Make sure the mods are for xxlsc and not xxlsa and make sure u have full root

Dev question's

Hiya,
I've been tinkering to make my own ROM (not completed yet)
I've been struggeling with apk optimalisation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560271
I followed the guide and thought I test it out om my fav ROM CyanogenMOD 4.0.4
Ok so it reduced the size, resigned it without any problems.
I flash the rom and it doesn't go any further then the android loading screen. I should be seeing the setupwizard.
Are there certain apk's that you musn't optimize ??
-----------------------
Second question.
I'd like to add apps and remove apps. how do I do this ??
- Can I just put them in the /system/app directory ?
- Or in the /data/app directory ?
As you noticed I'm abit of a newbie.
thanks for any help
For adding and removing cooked in apps
-Don't remove anything from /system/app even if you don't want it, because whatever app it is probably part of the framework...
-You can add third party apps to /system/apps like twidroid, but neither the market or aTrackDog will show update.
-You can add third party apps to /data/app but you will take a look in the update script to make sure they will be flashed.
thnQ for answering.
Is there also a way I can remove apps from a ROM completely?
I tried to remove amazon mp3 cause i never use it but after I sign it again it won't go beyond the loading screen. it turns black then
I'm having problems adding apps to a them or rom for some reason it installs fine but when it is at the loading screen it stops and turn black.
I added apps to /system/apps on a theme and on a ROM without any luck.
Some help is appriciated.
if you dont have the haykuro spl....you have to make sure everything will fit on the ~44mb system partition

[Q] lost samsung contacts and phone apps

I rooted my samsung galaxy note and then installed RocketRom V7. I then installed Kalagas Mixed theme for better looks.
I wanted to change the contacts and the phone looks, so I downloaded these apks from galaxy note apps and themes forum
and copied them in /system/app using root explorer in ROM Toolbox utility.
I made copies of Contacts.apk and Phone.apk before overwriting them.
Unfortunately, now I dont see anything for contacts and phone icon at the bottom of the screen and google search app
is not searching any of my contacts. I changed the permissions of these apps to 644 also, but nothing has changed.
Fortunately I have GO Dialer installed and I can make cals.
I tried replacing contacts.apk and phone.apk with the backup, reflashed RR V7 ROM after cleaning cache and dalvik chache. Nothing has worked.
How should I go about it?
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated
Afaik, from experience of trying alternative diallers and contacts and having the same problem, there is no way to restore dialler and contacts apps without doing factory reset. Don't know why. Maybe its integrated thoroughly with the framework or something.
Better get clarification on this though.

I've just been notified that you can copy the apks back to original location if you're rooted although it never worked for me...

Reflash the rom. N with help of root explorer check in apps whether u ve setting apk n music player apk.
Reflashing will solve i hope ,if required do all wipes.

I get this error message e\ery time I try to set up a news feed in the Information Ticker on the lock screen menu.
I am on stock, unrooted.
This is the only place it happens that I have noticed in 3 months of use.
Ya flash the Rom again without wipes.
Or a long way out is,
Open the zips that you flashed. Check the system folder for the files that has been added or replaced. Make a note of it.
Now I assume you already have the Rom you downloaded. Open that zip too and take the files that you see on the previous zip and replace then in the phones /system/app and set permission to rw-r--r--. Reboot

i already reflash the rom..but I need to flash the transparent widget and the transparent status bar again ..
Did it get resolved after re flashing the Rom? If yes, this time instead of flashing, manually replace the files into /system/app folder and set permissions. Also make a backup of the files being replaced

[HELP] Deleted gallery and camera - no backup

Hello,
somehow i maganed to deleted stock camera and gallery aplications (by Titanum Backup), unfortunetly i don't have any backups avalible so i can't undone this. I have installed new camera from Nexus - but it's missing some functions i need. Now i am unable to set a lock screen wallpaper, and can't even have good quality wallpaper (new gallery aplication is unable to crop images or make sliding wallpaper).
Can anyone tell me if i can install the old one camera and gallery application? Is anyone able to upload them from their device and tell me how to install them? (i belive it's not as simple as .apk files).
Im using Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with 4.1.2 Android (rooted).
Sry for my english, but i really hope someone can help!
what rom are you on right now? you cannot install stock cam and gallery app on a aosp roms
You're on stock rom or custom rom?.. Simply reflash your rom.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk HD
Download and install this.
It should give you the most recent version of the android gallery / camera
Im using stock rom - can I reflash it? Not sure how to do this, and am i going to lose any data by doing this?
Im using now - com.google.android.gallery3d.apk, but it dosen't let me choose custom lock screen wallpaper and has probles with croping images or slinding wallpaperes. That's why i want to use stock galery apk.
Or maybe there is some other way to choose lock screen wallpaper?
When trying now, i can only choose lock screen wallpapers from "wallpapers" catalog, there is no option to choose the image from gallery.
http://db.tt/hhX4co7K
Just download and extract these two apks. Use any root explorer apps and copy this to system/apps folder in root of your directory. Give proper permission 'rw–r–r' and reboot. This should get you back your camera and gallery

[ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo 8.0 Rooted][WifiCalling]G930TUVU4CRI2

ROM last updated: 11/8/2018
Introduction:
HUGE thanks to the guys that got this going like root & figuring out hybrid stocks! This ROM is similiar to my previous ROM: [ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo 8.0 Rooted][WifiCalling], but is based on the newer OTA/FW G930TUVU4CRI2 & is MUCH faster, at least on my phone (See Tmobile versions here). I did NOT base it on G930TUVS8CRJ1 (the latest) because that has bootloader ver8, which we don't have root for yet. (DONT take that OTA since you can NOT downgrade!) And if I had to guess, the only difference are some minor security updates, but mostly the security update that prevents root!!! (So no thanks!)
Description:
Stock Tmobile Oreo 8.0 modified (G930TUVU4CRI2)
This is a hybrid ROM, meaning: because we cannot unlock our bootloader, our options are limited. A hybrid, at least in this case, is where we start with stock, then strip away all the Crapware, add some fun apps, and do some tweaks.
EXTREMELY debloated! Nearly bare minimum, while still retaining hardware functionality. Eg, Samsung Gallery & Camera exist so we get 4k recording, and there aren't errors when we pull up the Gallery to edit, etc. Yes, this means NO Samsung or Android Pay. There could be more apps to debloat but I haven't had a chance to revisit this yet. (Please provide suggestions if interested)
Everything possible I replace Samsung with Google
Solid ROM, very fast!
If you hate Samsung SW and just want a solid working ROM with very few install options to get you up and running this is for you.
This will delete all of your data on the phone! (Not external SD card) This is the only way so don't ask. Backup your data!
Features:
Tmobile Wifi Calling works, along with Visual Voicemail & Mobile Hotspot
Many Aroma Installer app options
(Optional) KevinsFavorites option in Aroma. I'm not sure I'd recommend it due to my tastes. If you're looking for some good common apps tho, it includes: Amazon, AmazonMusic, AndroidAuto, AquaMail, Gmail, GoogleDrive, GoogleKeep, GooglePhoto, Hangouts, IFTTT, Pandora, RootBrowserClassic, TitaniumBackup, Uber, & Wink (If you install these and want to remove them later, use TitaniumBackup (or similiar) to uninstall
Root Features: See Downloads->Recommended Root Zip & say Thanks!
Debloated
De-Knoxed
Decrypted /data/ partition (should be ready for Xposed, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet)
OTAs disabled
Speed & Build Prop Tweaks
Dual speaker option
Ruthless Launcher
Apps
AdAway
AOD Clock Face Themes
CPUSpy
DisableService
Kernel Adiutor
Samsung Video Editor and Trimmer
Xposed Installer
Many more...

Hide "Hurricane" (RCS) icon: Install System UI Tuner by Zach Wander from Play Store ->Open App->StatusBar->Auto Detect->Uncheck com.samsung.rcs Thanks @pshipley73 for the tip! (BTW I didn't implement the VoLTE/IMS fixes out there because there's too much flux right now with Tmobile & RCS - I didn't want to break anything!)
Known Issues:
Visual Voicemail may fail to register, but restart phone and give it a few hours. It works eventually. (Same issue is on stock)
RCS (Rich Communication Services/Chat/Advanced Messaging) texts don't show up in Android Messages, or Textra apps (Same issue is on stock)
Fix: (Use Samsung Messages) - You may be able to call Tmobile to get this feature disabled with your account. Everything they say online doesnt work. If anyone inquires with them or knows a fix, PLEASE let me know!
Regular earpiece doesnt have sound during a WifiCalling call. Fix: Use Speakerphone. My thought is that this is isolated to using the dual-speaker mod. (Can someone please confirm?) (This is NOT an issue during a non-wificalling call.)

Version 4.7: First stable build

My bad! I added the ROM link
Regarding the apps you list: I thought I made some of those options in Aroma, but Titanium Backup (or whatever) can easily remove any you still want to delete. Or you can edit my Aroma script and add in those deletes. I did want the phone to be a "tiny-bit" usable after installing the ROM (play YouTube, open pdf files, etc). Enjoy!
Very Nice!
Hi Kevin, how could I install GameLauncher in this ROM?
I'm very interested in using that app when playing :crying::good::fingers-crossed:

Yes, it is an application that allows you to do several things while you are playing. The GameLauncher includes GameTools, but I can not install it in any way, because I think you need a file or something like that?

Yes, but will not there be some .zip?
I mean, everything is installed at once, because if I install nothing more than the GameLauncher apk, although without the Samsung store, "Galaxy Apps" I can not update nor will the app work correctly .
In itself, I can not use GameLauncher to have installed GameTools (although I would have done the one to install the apk, the GameLauncher app will not recognize me any game), and without the Samsung store, they will not work well.

when you are on the stock with the root then use root browser to save these two files from stock
SamsungAccount_Star, SamsungCloud, under n Priv-app folder, once you run the hybrid ROM using flashfire then go back and restore these two files back to Priv-app folder which will enabled your theme store so you can run your gaming app

If you are using a S7_SM-G930T & have the stock partitions for this model (ie, you didnt flash a different pit), then you dont need to do it. The guide as-is is solid for a stock S7_SM-G930T. Flashing the pit from another ROM of mine wont hurt if you flash on a S7_SM-G930T. I have only tested this ROM on a S7_SM-G930T.

Thank you @zfk110 for jumping in. This ROM really is aiming to be anti-Samsung - I LOVE the hardware but honestly hate all the Sh$t they put on it. And I need wifi-calling. And WE ALL LOVE ROOT. WHY cant we have it!!! ITS OUR PHONE WE BOUGHT DAMMIT! So that's what this ROM is all about. But trying to put it back to how SamDung intented, after my ROM reverts all their shannigans, might actually be easier to just roll with stock Sorry for being blunt.
But I do get it, some apps are actually good. Just PLEASE dont ask for Android pay or Samdung pay!! I do have all the apks, but no where to host them. If you have a little time & initiative, check out this thread I made on how to extract an apk from an "ODIN" file (like TMB-G930TUVU4CRI2.zip from this thread) https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...ide-how-to-extract-samsung-s7-ota-fw-t3862938 . And check out how to deploy this apk to system (not even sure they have to go to system tho) using ADB under Known Fixes for Messages here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/development/rom-t3855911 ...or do what @zfk110 said Titanium Backup does have a ton of power to do things like this as well...

it has those two files, and if you want to go back to stock Touchwiz then install the whole zip using flashfire it will give you stock Touchwiz and theme store with Viper and some good rooted apps or you can just pull those two files from it

Aroma Installer looks bonk if you dont set the resolution all the way up. Once you go through it tho, itll set back to stock which is in the middle. (ie, when guide is finished, resolution will be in the middle)
Just discovered this! I have a G930v and I've been flashing G930u firmware then G930t radio (CP file) and I've been running strong on tmobile (LTE+, wifi txt'ing & calling all work). Anyone have any experience how this ROM compares?

I installed it with Flasfire, but it has not installed me, I do not know why?
So I installed it with TWRP Recovery, much more effective and comfortable , at this moment I'm going to see if it lets me use the Apps I need (Game Launcher). Thank you!!

Well I do not work the app (Game Launcher) in the Rom of Lanc-City, in the Aroma if it gives you option or has added it, that you can install GameLauncher .
I think something is missing, and I do not know what function.
