I tried installing Google launcher its not showing up when i try to change, it only shows up default launcher is that any bug i saw there was no proper solution to this issue/ I tried removing and reinstalling rebooted the phone thrice still no good default launcher is there not the Google now.
Hi, I have been through this long time. I'll explain what I did do try it.
Install the latest version of all the gapps related to now launcher (voice search ,search ,now launcher)
Now goto security app in and find the gapps listed there. You will find that a few of the gapps have not been permitted with a few permissions. Grant them the permissions.
Do this for ALL the gapps listed over there including the services and framework.
Now reboot and find the now launcher inside ur launchers list.

Try installing a older version of gel. Once u set it as ur default launcher u can later update it to the latest version through playstore. That worked for me!
After installing Google Now Launcher, go to Settings app. Then Display -> Default launcher. Then select Google Now Launcher from there. It seems there is a bug when selecting 3rd party launchers as default outside of the settings app

Hi, I have one question about Google and Google+. How to remove the files in our custom rom before flashing the rom? Ya, we can delete it using root explorer but I love to know which apk/files contain the twos apks. Thank's.
Google+ isn't necessarily an apk in the gapps package so google+ won't be there in the custom ROMs and I'm not sure if Google Now is a thing that can be removed as it is an exclusive feature of Android 4.1+ . Not sure though. :|

afair Google Now gets active only after you log in to your Google account from Google Search, logging get out brings the Search back

He wants to disable google search, i don't see any way to do that except not flashing gapps at all which isn't desirable. I'd be glad if you can help him disable google search if possible.
If it is a TW ROM then just pull the apk's out of system/preload...

I guess it all depends on the ROM - I have two different devices, on one the Search is a system app (system/app/Velvet.apk), on other it was installed via Play market (data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.apk).
Generally if the apk resides in zip file, it can be removed before flashing (I usually clean ROMs from all apps I don't need on my PC using WinRar), the only problem could be finding name of the apk file to remove.
Yes you're right, the name of the app is where the problem resides as I did check the frameworks folder of the ROM. It's ROM specific isn't it, and tampering with an app like google search can surely cause some unforeseen errors too. I don't see any reason why google search has become such an undesirable app for the poster!
Not sure how it works for stock-based ROMs, on my N7000 I have Slimbean, which comes without Search - it can be installed from the Market separately if someone needs it
Sent from my GT-N5100 using xda premium
Slimbean has gapps of its own, customised for the ROM which are available on their site. The gapps on goo.im which are prescribed by some other ROMs come with the feature of google-search.

in this case it should be enough to remove "QuickSearchBox.apk" from the zip file before flashing
This removes Google search altogether or just the search box on the home screens which cannot be gotten away from the settings options in certain ROMs?

Not sure, the search box may be a separate widget, you could check with Root App Delete (enables/disables system apps)

Hi !
Here is an useful xposed module for our Kindle Fire HDX.
"HDXPosed" is a module for the xposed framework. With this module enabled you won't need to modify any files (services.odex, framework-res.apk) for our main HDX tweaks.
It will actually do the following :
Disable signature check : allow any APK to be installed/replaced
DownloadManager fix : allow gmail, chrome and any other download to work
Content provider fix : allow play store downloads on stock DownloadManager
Wallpaper fix : use a wallpaper on alternates home screen
Prevent Amazon OTA updates
Installation :
Download and install the "Xposed Framework"
Download and install the "HDXPosed.apk" file below
Launch the "Xposed" application
Go to framework and click install
Go to modules and enable HDXPosed
Reboot
Source code :
https://github.com/Cpasjuste/HDXPosed
Of course you can use and redistribute in any ways. Sources will follow.

Hi !
Here is a very usefull xposed module for our Kindle Fire HDX. I'm developping this module for my gapps-rom but since i still have a few days of work before it's ready i tough it would be a good idea to release the mod as this.
So "HDXPosed" is a module for the xposed framework. With this module enabled you won't need to modify any files (services.odex, framework-res.apk) for our main HDX tweeks. Note that this module is for the 7" device (thor) but would probably work any HDX (to be tested).
Actually it will do the following :
Disable signature check : allow any apk to be installed/replaced
DownloadManager fix : allow gmail, chrome and any other download to work
Wallpaper fix : use a wallpaper on alternates home screen
Installation :
Download and install the xposed framework
Download and install HDXPosed.apk file below
Enable HDXPosed in the xposed framework
Reboot
Of course you can use and redistribute in any ways. Sources will follow.

Could we go about getting the Play Store running using this mod? I've installed and placed vending.apk and a few other requisite apps I know are needed to run the Play Store in system/app (Google Services Provider. Account and Sync Settings) and changed permissions, I was able to enter my account credentials but every time I go to use the market it will open very briefly then pop up with 'Google Play store has stopped.' Any ideas about what needs to be done?
You probably need to install alternate DownloadManager*.apk which can be found in my gapps thread in the general forum.

So I've installed the DownloadProvider and DownloadProviderUI APIs from your Thor gapps thread, and now the Play Store will open but spontaneously crash and downloads will act as though they start but the transfer never actually begins. Should I grab all the GApps from your Thor rom and place them in my system/app folder as a way to try shotgunning a soulution?

When I installed.exposed framework it keeps saying that is not installed. Do I need ancestral for this? Or what am I doing wrong?
Two things I've noticed. Rebooting costs a bootloop which I can't get out of unless I go into recovery and wipe dalvik/cache. Thank god for that working at least. Second, is the module supposed to list out 1.0 or 1.1 as I tried to install the 1.1 over the 1.0 but it still says 1.0. Will try to disable it first and then update again...

Try this, I have gapps and all Amazon services working side by side.
1. Start with stock rooted install on a rom slot.
2. Install Androidcowboy's gapp's per his tutorial with the exception of moving the vending apk. Just install vending apk. wherever you downloaded to(don't know if this matters).
3. Install xposed and reboot.
4. Install Cpasjuste's xposed module and reboot.

I'm using CM13 right now and the CM/AOSP apps hadn't bothered me till now.
I want to replace the stock CM contacts app, dialer app and clock app with the Google ones that come with the stock ROM.
Reason for this: Contacts app is buggy, Clock keeps crashing and Dialer doesn't have the built-in call blocking feature.
How would I go about replacing them?
If I install the apks, the other apps still show in the app drawer.
Help a noob out
Thanks.

Search for Open Gapps, the Aroma version. You can choose the apps you want to install, to replace, etc. I use CM with Google Apps, and Open Gapps are the best option.

Clean install is better IMO. You can try it over your current setup, but make a backup first, and if it starts to force close apps or give you any errors, perform a clean install.

This magisk module is Pixel 2 launcher installer which installs it systemlessly.
When pixel 2 launcher is installed as user app, swipe right to open google now is not working. Even in some ROMs like pixel phone stock ROM, AEX ROM it can't be installed as user app.
When pixel 2 launcher is installed as system app, it causes issues like removes pixel launcher (in pixel phone & some ROMs' default launcher like AEX).
So this module will neither remove original pixel/pixel like launcher, nor compromise in functionality, it will just replace (or install) pixel 2 launcher systemlessly.
Google now launcher working with this systemlessly replaced pixel 2 launcher (even though it's not modified)
How to..
Flash module using latest magisk manager
Or
Flash using custom recovery like twrp.
Download link:
Download from attachment
Sources: Pixel 2 launcher apk file has been taken from APKMIRROR, and not modified at all.
Note:
All features will work only in oreo based ROMs. Notification dot & icon shape will not work with Nougat based ROMs.
You need to give location permission manually to get weather data as launcher is not asking location permission but by default all permission are set off.
Simple flashable zip & user app of Pixel 2 Launcher are available in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/pixel-2-launcher-t3688186

Hi all,
I canßt seem to be able to install Google Keyboard (Gboard), not through Google Play Store (app not compatible) or APK (doesn't install).
Did anyone find the same issue and maybe a solution for this?
If no solution for it, what would be a suitable alternative? I unfortunately appreciate support for Catalan language, which is not a given for a lot of keyboards.
Thanks a lot for any input!
Actually that's what i fear the most bad OS and if there is no dev community for custom roms, I don't think the hype for this phone will remain.
And not possible to set another launcher as default. YUK

Gboard work since day 1. you factory your phone. go to tencent store and install 2 things: gboard and chplay. After that go to language to switch. For language you must know how to use adb for setup morelocal 2
With another launcher, install nova for example, after that use adb uninstall the asus launcher. now your nova become Default launcher

Can you post your guide in the guide section for other users? Thank you.
For Play Store, I also didn't get it to work with sideloaded apk from APKMirror, but I found it in the built-in app store and after updating it showed in the launcher and fully worked.
Gboard works fine for me. You can't find it from the play store you will need to get it from apkmirror website or any alternative website. Later on you should be able to update it from the play store, simply download the latest version and install it and you are good to go.
At least that's in my case.
