[GUIDE] Use latest whatsapp version with ART [NOV-13-2013]

INTRODUCTION
Hi everybody! After using the old method of installing whatsapp's old.42 and .50 version, cernekee found that flashing libart.so in system partition, we would be able to install whatsapp from playstore without depending on the version.
I just did a flasheable zip which:
- Installs neccessary lib
- Fixes permissions
The procedure is very simple...​
HOW-TO
1. Download libart.so_flashable.zip from the bottom of the post and push it to your sdcard
2. Swich (if u hadn't already done it) to ART runtime mode under developer options
3. Flash the fix from recovery
4. Install whatsapp from playstore
5. Voilá, latest whatsapp version working with ART​

Works!!! Thanks you!!

Thank you.

2.11.42 works
Make sure to not update it while the problem is not fixed upstream. Disable auto-update for this one in the Play Store app.

Shouldn't this be in the Themes and Apps section?
Actually, what was wrong with the original topic there, where you took this from?

This is a GUIDE. In this guide it's explained how to make whatsapp run with art, but I am not sharing any app. If every post on xda was in apps section everything would be disordered.
In relation with your question, isn't it better to have a GUIDE about an important think as using whatsapp with art since a lot of people aren't using this because of that? Isn't true that it is maybe easier for noobs to follow a guide on a thread rather than finding a post where anything is explained?
I think creating a GUIDE giving proper credits, just to help people doesn't hurt.

Confirmed. I couldn't restore my chats too. It is a not very important issue but I add it to the OP too. Thanks!

It works, thank you so much

Great using it.....

Managed to get it working after some hassle, thanks for this!
Only thing that is not working is adding an attachment from the gallery to send it to someone.
I hope the whatsapp team stops being so resistant against ART because it gives a huge advantage.

Mate can you share apk?

could you please tell us how you did it? because i may apply this on whatsapp+ too, since i use that... so please, if you can, make a guide on how to make it work on ART

If you're already in ART mode (and rooted) and don't want to switch back and forth between Dalvik and ART just to install Whatsapp, you can also copy the modded .apk to /data/app and reboot the phone Worked for me!

Kids mode apks?

Can anyone pull the kids mode apks from their tab and post them for me? I have a debated Tom that I love but my wife wants those apps back...
The only ports I can find are from the 5th and they don't quite work on this tab.
Probably don't need all the apps within the app but will need the kidsapps, kidshome, installer, landingwidget, and parental control apks...
Any help with this would be awesome.

Interesting. I pulled it from the deodexing firmware T525XXUANH4 for t525th. It works for me, of course. Perhaps the reason is deodex. Well, here's set of apk&odex (place in folder /system/app and give rights rw-r--r--):

Hi,
Can you be more specific? Where to place both files? I know .apk can go anywhere, but no clue where to place other one. Can't make it work

Well, I would probably be surprised if that Kids Mode began to work. Firstly, it's this version of the apk for Kitkat. Second, it needs Touchwiz. Correct me if I'm wrong.
At least on CM 12.1 I couldn't run a version for Android 5.1.

someone will probably have to have it installed then pull app data for libs folder if there are any. then you would need to flash the /data/app/name of apk folder with libs to the correct area and also the main .apk to /system/app
but then again some manufacturer's apps are not compatible with aosp or cm based roms and need porting to work
(if that is what you are running)

Could U pls put the app link here? This app is 121MB
I tried to downloadt the app by the original installer several times, but it always stops on ~68MB !
Pls don't put the installer file here, my device has it.
note pro 12.2 3g
5.0.2

Having had a crack at this myself... On my newsed SM-T325 I just got myself. I can only suspect that the clue is in the name seckidsmode... Sec here referring to security al-la knox mode perhaps?! no, not so much as full on knox, as such. But is still tied up somehow in as far as once its gone its gone. At least this is what I found when I tried to reinstall it back onto a rooted, but otherwise stock... And 0x0 valid SM-T325.
You might not care to hear it, but the only way I was able to recover (Twice now, as I write this!), was to re-flash the current BOC1 Firmware on top of everything again. Thankfully this hasn't tripped up my Knox... yet though I need to re-install TowelRoot + SuperSU again, unlike Knox however, you can install, and use this Kids Mode while rooted. But, as to reinstall it again after you've yanked it?
Well lets say that I'm kinda interested to know that One too...

My guess is 'cause you have to have TouchWiz installed... It is a Stock Samsung APK after all.

Mute point now... But, I was on Stock at the time.
The only way I managed at the time to recover the Kids Mode, was to re-Stock, and to not removing it to begin with.

What exactly doesn't work?

Nothing seems to work, theme settings, dialer, whatsapp, nothing To all your questions, the answer is yes, i got GravityBox working perfectly and i rebooted the phone after apply theme and nothing. It's weird because TP is based on stock

FIX FOR Google Play Services FC
Well... After experimenting, flashing 3 different GAPPS packages, wiping all possible combinations of partitions, finally I could fix the FCs. It really sucks I can't post it on the thread, because I have less than 10 posts.
Anyway, here is what I did. It worked in two devices XT1064 (the first one worked after many experiments, and the second one after clean install of CM PF + TK Pico GAPPS uniDPI (but also presenting FC)).
*You must previously uninstall all GAPPS packages and install TK Pico GAPPS uniDPI.
To do that, go to recovery and wipe only System and Cache, and flash CMPF and GAPPS zips.
SO...
On the device with Installed TK Pico GAPPS uniDPI AND still presenting Google Play Services FC, go to Settings, Apps, All, find Google Play Services and:
a) Verify last numbers of the Google Play Services Version is 436. If it is 430, then skip next step and just delete GPS app cache.
b) delete all data, force stop and uninstall update. May appear an error because of admin rights bla, bla, just uncheck Google Play Services from device admins and, then continue.
c) your Google Play Services version should now be 430. Click on DISABLE.
d) download and install Google Play services 7.5.73 (1976294-430).apk from APK MIRROR HERE
e) Open Google App to launch Google Play Services Wizard
DONE.
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
In the second phone I've got FC again... I'm trying to find out what I did differently with the first phone...
A temporary solution has been yo set the location mode to device only (GPS Only)

The best ROM,Battery really amazing but...please my king,fix the google play services fc,it s seriously the best rom,if onply it should be fixed that problem..

Hmm.. Try this: twitter com/arter97_dev/status/603495555734503424
replace the file with TWRP (dont forget to first mount System) and set chmod to 775. Reboot.
BTW, Google Play Services version -436.

Any fix for front cam bug?
Whenever i switch to front camera, it says "can't connect to camera" and i need to delete app data to get the rear camera working again.
Really great ROM otherwise been using it as daily driver for 2-3 weeks now

Really? Ok lets see what we can do. What kernel are u using? Did you reboot after disabling kms? You may need to wipe caché after disabling also

@TeeHasj @godoy.rafa If you are experiencing FC from GPServices with high accuracy and battery saving modes, it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your gapps. It is caused by a lib in /system. Please check my preview post. You need to replace that file with TWRP.
BTW (I can't post in the thread because this sh*t of 10 posts rule)

I confirm that, javacore replaced, everything works fine, Only the ram usage is strage but Under control

@xhhb HOw do I do that?

1. First of all phone will reboot ,until the theme u want to uninstall is selected.(I mean any box should be unchecked)
2.Try Uninstall -> Phone will reboot for sure (only once) now try unistalling again . It will be uninstalled.
You can skip step 2. If you reboot in safe mode.Long press power off in Power dialog box.
Unistall From there. (But u still have to uncheck the any ticked box from ur theme)
