Thanks man worked like a charm:good: you should forward this to cm and other lollipop devs so they can include this in their ROM so that we don't have to manually push this every time we flash an update or new ROM.
whao! thanks! worked in my phone.
but there's no folder after zipping.
i had to create manually.

I used ROM toolbox and it does but root explorer doesn't. But yeah creating one should work to as long as you set the permission right.

Here's the browser apk https://www.dropbox.com/s/ma64d4d6yt0quck/Browser.apk?dl=0
This may only work on aosp roms
Should this work on any phone? I tried it on my S3 (i9300) and it fails to sync. I see the Browser Sync option in account settings, but it won't sync. I've set the permissions correctly. I must say that automatic account login in the browser doesn't work for me, so that could be an issue.

This was the latest I found
Tried it and followed it to the letter, but I keep getting "sync is currently experiencing problems etc.". I'm supposed to get a pop-up when enabling browser sync, that the browser want permission to access my google account? But this doesn't happen. When I start the browser, it does do the automatic google login, but it doesn't sync my bookmarks. I've deleted data from browser and from from bookmarksync and deleted the bookmarksyncadapter folder, and tried the whole thing again, but to no avail. Any ideas?

Clear your browser data again and click sync browser again in settings/ account. Then open browser.

Nope, still not working. I get the automatic google account login when starting the browser, but when I check account settings, Browser still says failed. Someone else said that there should be a popup from within android asking to give browser permission to access my google account.
The weird thing is though it says: last synced 05/01/2015 13:29 ... this cannot have been on my phone, because I've switched to 5.0.2 before that and haven't had a working sync.
It's fixed ... I removed permissions for my phone in my google dashboard (it was listed numerous times because I am a flash monkey) and tried again, my phone had to reaquire permissions for eveything et voila, working sync.

Couldn't get it working as system app, or private app,so I tried installing as a user app & BAM it works! Anyone having trouble just extract the apk and install it like any other app! @bmakk2055 Thanks man, nice to have my bookmarks back!
DIdn't worked. It failed in step 4, the Browser doesn't appears in the sync options under the Google account.[ Tried removing the authorisation from Google dashboard website but same negative results here.

Just install it like any other apk, go into settings/apps & clear data & cache on the stock browser. Open browser sign in make sure bookmarks is checked in sync. This works for me every time I flash a new ROM

CM and other AOSP based ROMs do not come with Google apps. This is better forwarded to gapps devs.

Or you could just add a line to your /system/addon.d/XX-gapps.sh file with the path to BookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
app/BookmarksSyncAdapter/BookmarksSyncAdapter.apk or app/BookmarksSyncAdapter.apk depending on where you pushed it to.
It is easier than described in the OP

Hello,
Could someone please post the default Fascinate memo.apk so I can reinstall memo on my phone?
Thank you.
Here yah go
Push this file to /system/app/ through root explorer or adb.
Just a suggestion, anytime you need to find an app that is included in a rom your able to pull it out. This file could have been pulled from the latest ED01 zip. Open the zip file and go into system/app and extract the app you want. Install by placing app onto sd card then move into system/app using root explorer. You have to make sure permissions are set right - All read boxes checked and top write box check. Then reboot phone
Thank you both so much.
I did not know about pulling apps from a ROM.
I appreciate the help from both of you.

Somehow this hasn't worked for me on a MIUI ROM. I'm fairly experienced with flashing ROMs etc. installing regular and system apks but I've not gotten the memo.apk to "install" on any of the MIUI ROMs. I've done the usual dance of fixing permissions and file ownership etc. after I drop it into /system/app. I probably should be posting this in a MIUI forum/thread but thought you guys might be able to help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Is there a way to export/retrieve the notes from the app? I have a backup [titanium backup]. Restoring it has worked well on most ROMs for me so was wondering if I could go back to a different (touchwiz) ROM and restore the data and somehow export it as a txt file or something. Or is there a way of pulling out the data from titanium backup database?

I tried to install this app on an SGS+ i9001.
i9001 already has an Memo app, but is different, it doesn't have sync.
When installing, it said "not installed" and offcourse, it didn't worked.
I guess you need root on the phone.
I tried it on a Samsung Galaxy S ICS 4.1.1, and on a Motorola Defy CM 7.1, but not working, I can't found the Memo icon in the programs menu. What is the problem? Any idea?
This particular apk will only work with Touchwiz. ColorNote from Google Play is a reasonable substitute. There are several other alternatives, as well.

Saving memos
The memos you wrote are saved as a .db file in the dbdata section of root. Not entirely that useful, but it can at least be converted in the long run into xml using delimited functions. I tried altering the androidmanifest for the apk to see if I could get it installed on the latest notta paranoid android ROM but I can't seem to get it to work,; constant parsing error. I did transfer my needed memos to xml spreadsheet but I still do like the app in general over other types. Very simple app that does what it needs to do, nothing more and nothing less. If anyone has a working version that can work on other roms.
retrieving memos contents
lost my ace s5830i after nanrdoid backup 2 days before. i took data.rfs.tar file and extract it using winrar. then i use sqlite browser to view data\data\com.sec.android.app.memo\databases\Memo.db. the memos' contents are all intact in memo_content table
It worked

Removing the proxy setting shouldn't have any negative effect. SMS/MMS are handled via separate fields in the APN setting

Read what the message says and follow those instructions.
Attached is pictures of what you need to wipe out. May look slightly different on your phone, as mine is still on gingerbread, because i like the sense UI.
just in case clearing the proxy does break something, write down what is there before you wipe it.
Not sure about adaway, but i must say adfree is the best...
i seem to be using it for ages and never had an issue.
goto market download 'adfree' by i think tin can or something...
install it...
a pop up will come with 2 options, just choose boot normally.
it'll offer to download some new files, let it.
once its finished reboot your device & your phone will be ad free

Im having some problems with my gmail account syncing. It's quite odd...I have 3 accounts and 2 of the 3 are syncing fine. My main account which I have all my contacts etc stored, shows a "sync error" when I view my google accounts. At the bottom of the screen it says "Sync is currently expereiencing problems. It will be back shortly." It has said this for a few days now. The weird part is when I open the account, my App Data, Contacts, Drive, Gmail, and People Details, are all syncing properly. I think the problem might lie in the fact that there is not even an option to sync Google Calendar.
That brings me to part 2......whenever I open Google Calendar and try to add any event, the app crashes and says "Unfortunately, Calendar has stopped."
I have tried deleting the Calendar app and reinstalling, deleting the gmail account and re-logging in, cleared cached and data for Calendar app.
Not sure what else I can do, nor why the option to sync the Calendar is missing under accounts.
Any ideas?

Now that you mention it, I think that might be the problem. I'm new to the world of android and I remember seeing about flashing gapps when I flashed the ROM. I chose not to flash gapps cause I didn't want to install some apps I wouldn't use. So I just downloaded the gapps I wanted from the play store. I guess maybe that can mess things up?

Not flashing the gapps is definitely your problem. Just downloading the calendar app won't fix your problem, I don't think. I would recommend that you flash at least one of the minimal gapps packages.

i also have also had a similar problem on PA Alpha 1 and CM12 with the google calendar app. When I try to create a new event and add either a location using "at..." or clicking "with.." the application always crashes with "Unfortunately, Google Calendar has stopped." Is there any way fix for this? I've had this problem for a while and thought an update would fix it.

Hey guys I'm going to keep this clean and simple.
What you will need:
--The .apk from here (APKMirror ftw!)
--The .zip file I've attached to this post (the .so files are extracted from the .apk file) It is not flashable!!!!
--The latest Marshmallow preview installed
--Root
Steps:
1) Download the .apk and the zip files
2) With your favorite Root Browser, browse to /system/priv-app/Velvet/
3) Delete the current Velvet.apk and replace it with the new one make sure the permissions are correct (-rw-r-r)!!!
4) Then browse to /system/priv-app/Velvet/lib/arm/, delete all the .so files there, then place the ones you downloaded and extracted from the zip here again, make sure the permissions are correct (-rw-r-r)!!!
5) Reboot
6) Profit!
Notes: This does set the app drawer back to horizontal scrolling, and Voice search works, along with the hotword detection (everywhere)! If you guys want screenshots/proof of hotword detection working I can upload screenshots later. But please be sure to explicitly tell me.
Thanks!
First? Lol.
Hey thanks, it worked! No more FC when searching!

The function(s) of the app are not any different. The Google Search 5.2 update changed most aesthetics of the app. Screenshots can be found in a compilation here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/09/01/google-app-updated-to-version-5-2-33-with-new-logo-icon-color-galore-and-slightly-revamped-google-now-ui-apk-download/ (thanks to AP!).

Try first deleting some system apps then rebooting. If that doesn't work try another file manager and see if that works.

Woah you're right... The lockscreen works perfectly but when the phone is on there's a problem. I know its a problem with the "draw over Apps" setting in M because 5.1 had an option there and 5.2 doesn't... Dang it Google! On the good side you can still do calculations and send messages because it reads the "solutions"...
Thanks for the report I'll add it to the OP ASAP

Install this ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/1wid2tj3zbwf1g4/decrypted_mp3-2_boot.img?dl=0 ) then your favorite kernel compatible with the M preciews and try again.

Thanks, before you posted this I actually went into TWRP and mounted System, then it worked.
Anyone have any experience fixing an install after the velvet directory is deleted? I copied the libs and the apk, but it won't "install", parse error.

There's no need to install it. Simply copy everything then reboot. It will install automatically after a reboot if you did everything correctly.
Why Can't I delete the Velvet.apk?

Hmmn...well, I set all permissions correctly and rebooted, but no go. I wonder if you neat the odex file in the oat directory?
EDIT: Forgot to fix permissions of the Velvet directory itself...now it works.

No ... Not only Google apps .. but basically all apps.
Assume you cannot get Nova Prime without GMS so just the free version?

With Aurora Store you should be able to download the paid version app extension (given you sign in with your own Google account and have paid for the full version :laugh:
Thanks, good to know.
Gestural quick app switch does not work with Nova .. other gestures are ok

I have a P40 pro now and if you use Phone Clone the Nova Prime app also transfers over.

There are detailed instructions on Android Hilfe (in German). I translated them:
1. Perform a factory reset of the phone.
2. Install Services Core.
3. Install Services Framework Proxy.
4. Install the FakeStore.
5. Open the Microg Settings app. Grant it all permissions and disable battery optimizations.
5.1 Add your Google account.
5.2 Turn on Device Registration, Cloud Messaging and SafetyNet.
5.3 Restart your phone.
6. Open Microg Settings app, check the status under Cloud Messaging. If it says not connected enter the following in the phone app: *#*#2432546#*#* and restart your phone. Check the status again - it should say Connected. (I had to enter the phone string and restart my phone twice until it said connected).
All this will give you is push notifications since we can not enable signature spoofing. If you restore apps from a backup you may have to delete their cache/and or data before they start using Microg for their messaging.
Instead of the Fakestore you can apparently also use LzPlay and install the real Play Store later (delete the Fakestore first) . I haven't tried that though because I don't want to use that app.

Thanks, I am now connected in the GCM But in the list of google cloud messaging apps ... I have about 15 apps now connected but only the Outlook app has processed a notification and the other apps are not ...
Outlook app - 'Last message: 2 minutes ago, 9.12am'
Skype - 'No messages received so far'
When you test with the app linked in this page, do you have x4 green ticks? I only had x3 green checks and was missing google play services ...

install Nova (free) from an apk store or you can also phoneclone.

Same here. Fluid navigation gesture covers it up.
