[work around] How to get skygo working on rooted ICS roms - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

This is a work around which will enable you to watch skygo on rooted ICS roms, this is not a perfect solution but if you don’t want to miss the F1 or whatever, it’ll do.
1. Download this tweaked skygo app http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10514900/skygo_test_0.1.2.apk
2. Find your original kernel on intratech’s thread
3. Extract the kernel.7z file you just downloaded until you get the zimage
4. Copy the zimage onto your sd card
5. Open cwm manager, select 'flash kernel' and then select the zimage you just extracted
6. Use temp root remover to hide root
7. Install the skygo app, and you should be able to watch any channel.
If the app hangs on loading 0% ……. 0/100 try clearing app cache and data. If that doesn’t work uninstall skygo and reinstall it and it will work.
You might want to back up your old kernel/zimage before you start so you can easily restore your old kernel.
Like I said it’s not pretty but it works.

Thanks man,
I know there's a sky go thread with well over 500 pages, couldn't be bothered keeping track of it, I'm on stock kernel anyway(LP7) so I just use the 'fixed' app and voodoo unroot. Works a charm.

Press back & reload it again or alternatively wait for about 30 seconds to a minute & it'll clear up.
If not your connection is shabby.
i'm using build 0.1.5 from the big sky go post on here with wanam.stock.LP7, LP7 stock kernel & rootkeeper works a charm.

I can only get Sky News to work using the standard ICS build & unroot, I have cleared the cache & re-installed the app, not working.
Any further ideas ?

I updated my kernel from Intratech's list & it works fine - I don't remember installing a custom kernel, maybe I did.
Very simple solution, thanks.

1) Thanks for kanging my workaround from the other topic
2) you no longer need to use a pure stock kernel, you can use any kernel that has ro.secure=1
e.g. Siyah Kernel or CF-Root (both of these kernels have had adb hacked too so you don't lose out by having ro.secure=1)

I'm guessing you have to have a subscription?? Lol

Hey Lenny, So this will work with CM9 & Siyah kernel?
Last time I tried it failed to work just staying on 0/100 even after clearing cache. But I wasn't running Siyah.
Thanks

no, cm9 has another issue that I am failing to diagnose, no idea what the problem is but I can't work it out no matter how many hours I spent looking at logs.

This sky go modified app, works on my Galaxy S2 with android ICS 4.0.3 - never ever rooted and no custom ROM.

Works perfectly on the stock lpy ics ROM using the voodoo root keeper app to unroot. Thanks!

not working for me...
see sig for rom specs, have used temp unroot, but can only get news, other channels stuck on loading...

Try some different kernels. I couldn't get it to work with CF or Neak. Tried speedmod and it works fine with temp unroot.
EDIT: It was working fine yesterday but stays on the loading screen today!
EDIT 2: Ok, I've got it working again. I believe the problem was superuser. One of the versions of Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper required superuser to be installed (as opposed to supersu) and I believe when I uninstalled superuser again it left some traces which Voodoo wasn't hiding and skygo was seeing. I've done a full wipe and installed a fresh copy of Omega rom, then speedmod kernel, then restored everything with Titanium back up and its working again. Which is good since I've got 3 months of free Sky!

I noticed there is a new update for Sky Go and was wondering if anyone has "fixed" the new apk to remove the version checking yet.

can someone post intratech’s link, I cannot find it after I searched the forum?

It's Sprint, ergo, CDMA.
Seems to me like the CDMA tabs never got much love!
I had a couple problems installing it nothing I couldn't fix. Installed on Sprint tab. Had JT CM7 on there with cwm 5. something. When installed from the CWM 5. it stuck at samsung logo. rebooted into CWM again which had been changed to 4. in initial flash, did the 3 times wipe of everything again then reflashed and it worked. SO far I'm liking it really smooth. I have it OC with SetCPU at 1200. Haven't played with it much yet but so far so good.

If it's not working, reflash with Odin the stock rooted kernel available by rodderick in the mega starter thread. The experimental one I included seems problematic.
Exciting stuff. Congrats Random.

If you're familiar with my Samsung Epic 4G Rom (or if you're not, click here!) then you'll know that I currently provide matching blue and green themes, with a red one on the backburner.
The default theme for Osprey is WIP port of the green theme. I will also be porting the blue theme when that's done, and the red theme when I make it.
@randomking.. If I download this can I just do the wipe cache thing and just flash over my old rom. Don't have access to pc is the reason I'm asking. Thanks

When I first flashed from cm7 with clm 5. Smething it wouldnt boot. Reboot into recovery and check your cwm again it should have flashed the cwm Random has included with the rom. If it has triple wipe again and reflash, then it should work. Took maybe 3~5 min max to boot after reflash

I haven't used this ROM yet, but I have used everyone of Scrosler's ROMs on my Evo 3D and Evo 4G. They all have been great. I would assume he wouldn't post it if it wasn't ready to go.
I am download #12! Really nice work. Thank you. I have had only 1 random reboot so far. Very snappy speed.
The problem with this version of CWM / CF-ROOT still persists - rebooting when using root functions. In the paid version of Titanium Backup, you can freeze and backup apps no problem. Also, integrating app updates into ROM also works. Uninstalling system apps mostly works - the tab reboots after the uninstall is complete. You are not able to restore backups of uninstalled system apps because the tab reboots before the process begins.
I will continue testing an report anything else I find. Thanks again for your great work!

I haven't had any issues with uninstalling system apps with Titanium. They uninstall and...that's it. Admittedly I didn't uninstall that much, the wife actually likes some of the bloatware, believe it or not.
As for restoring backups of uninstalled system apps, I personally never bother backing them up in the first place. I've copied the contents of the entire /system/app folder and kept it safe on the external SDCard. That way, I can just reinstall them if I want them, or if I'd made a hideous mistake while theming.
I use Titanium once if I'm reflashing something back to stock and then it gets uninstalled. But that's just me.

Hey Ticklefish
I saw your post in the CWM thread created by Skin1980, about how you do all system changes in through the recovery menu. I'd quite like to know if this rom plays better with making changes (like restoring apps via titanium backup) in the OS and not have to go through recovery? It would just be a convenience to do the 1-click restore of all my apps with titanium, that's why I'm asking.

I restore system apps by using an app like ES File Explorer to copy them from my sdcard to the /system folder, setting the right permissions, moving them into the /framework or /app folder. I might have to do a quick reboot then to get them properly installed.
I could install them through the recovery menu, if I wanted, by using ADB but there isn't really much point.
If you'd rather use Titanium and do it that way, then go for it. It is a lot simpler, to be sure.
Now when I say 'system apps' here, I'm actually meaning things like your browser, soft keyboard, etc. Making changes through recovery is more for changing the actual workings of your device. That's things like altering your framework-res.apk or your SystemUI..things that control the actual device itself.
please ignore this post
Omg, you are soo fast.

if u r talking about this one:

I believe he is talking about the modded product ID lines in the build.prop to make A500 games visable to us A100 users (for some reason a100 is not compatable with a bunch of games).

If you want to load games optimized for A500, it is enough to replace a line in build.prop:
ro.product.model=A100 -> ro.product.model=A500
all other necessary modifications are already present there.
Thanks for all quick replies. But I am not talking about A500, even though the issues are the same or similar.
I have many useful apps that I can find on my android phone (GB), NookColor (CM7) and Touchpad (CM9) but not on the A100 device. I tried all ROMs (stock, your ZN version, CM9 and this one), they all have the problem.
One example of those missing apps is:

The ring displays correctly on landscape but does not on portrait. Some of the Google should be included, like Gmail. I flashed gapps but it did not include gmail.
Since your concern was to have green for android which is a Google OS maybe go ahead and include the Google apps especially Gmail. Thanks. So far it seems to operating okay. We will give it a week and see what it starts doing.

There is some other problem with this rom. A bunch of my gplay apps are coming up as incompatible now, even ones that require no special permissions.
I think if a rom is going to made that is regional it should be posted as such.
Sadly I am going to have to flash another rom.
I had hopes for this rom, maybe if the devs stick with it I will try again in future.
Thanks for your effort.
Hey ZN I installed your stock theme zip and was wondering if there was a way to get that cool wallpaper you have in the pictures on the first post...thanks

Hey ZN and Igcmn...I notice that sometimes when waking the tab up from sleep mode or returning to the homescreen it tends to automatically go to landscape mode....and stays there...won't flip to portrait....i either have to reboot for it to work (in which it will return back to landscape) or if I try other things (games that only do portrait etc) then i t will work

[MOD] Google+ Locations Map Fix v1 [12/07/13]

Presenting to you my incredibly simple fix for the "Google+ Locations" Grey background maps issue that most of us have.
What is the problem?
Google+ Locations feature is replacing Latitude but for many of us this feature does not work. It fails to load the map leaving us with pictures of our contacts on a grey background - basically making the feature worthless to us all.
Whilst the fix itself is very simple (more info at bottom of this post), I know a lot of people here like things to be super easy, so I made a .zip for you all to flash.
Instructions
- Flash like any normal update.zip
- Reboot
In the unlikely event you find that the zip doesn't appear to work, or causes other Google+ issues then wipe app data (and cache) for Google+ and reboot.

V1 - 12/07/2013

Didn't work either way for me.
Tried your flash zip and after rebooting Google+ updated itself by Play probably reversing the changes.
That wouldn't reverse the changes, try to flash it a second time, one person said it worked the second time (everyone else was fine the first time)
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Nope still doesn't work.
Reverted back to a previous nandroid (InsertCoin) backup prior to any Google+ modding.
Flashed your zip, rebooted and Google+ was no longer installed.
Had to re-install Google+ from Play store.
Weird you are the only one who has had issues. You were not wiping cache when you flashed it were you?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
No just a straight flash and reboot
Interesting. All the zip does it put the app and libs in the correct /system/ directory, there it no reason why it shouldnt work.
You could do it manually if you wanted.

You will only see people on your map if they are sharing their position with a circle you are in (on google+).

finally got this working...
After moving the files you need to manually clear Google+ data and then it works.

Weird, never had to do that for me (or anyone else who did my testing).
I will add a note to the OP.

I tried to do manually. Moving the "com.google.android.apps.plus-2.apk" to /system/app results in the error:
failed on 'com.google.android.apps.plus-2.apk' - Cross-device link
This is on Nexus4 running CM10.1.2-mako

Alright,
I'm sure you arrived at this solution quite independently as It becomes kinda obvious once you have a proper look into it but I sorted this out weeks ago

I made available a new gapps packages for fresh roms here http://goo.im/devs/trevd/gapps/gapps-jb-20130615-signed.zip this includes Google+ as a system app.
The problem you'll get now is that the original one installed from the PlayStore has been updated hence why the apk is now at -2. So at the moment if folks have that one installed in /data/ they should be able to flash your system app version with out removing anything ( in theory ) This might only work until the next update.
Probably the easiest approach is to uninstall using play. Flash a update zip which installs it as a system app.
Just My Thoughts :good:
@sashykanth use "busybox mv" to move files
Hack On!

Thanks for this, I hadn't seen your G+ Post before today. The new Gapps package will certainly be useful for roms which require Gapps.

Place in the PDA section of odin and flash I made cwm6 and made into flashable .tar for everyone to use enjoy all should be working apart from mounting sdcard in recovery
WHEN USING PLEASE CHANGE DEFAULT BACKUP MODE TO DUP THEN YOU CAN BACKUP AND RESTORE ROMS AS YOU LIKE IT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY WITH .TAR BACKUPS YET THANKS
UNZIP the file attatched and move the file into your odin folder and place in the PDA section and flash then just reboot into the very nice CWM6 UI
Bug's:
Usb Mounting while in recovery does not work. 9 ( Fix in next release )
Please navigate to backup and restore and change default backup mode and set it to DUP because TAR backup does not work. ( Fix in next release )
WARNING THIS WILL TRIP YOUR FLASH COUNTER SO BE CAREFUL

I'm working on a rom.. For now i managed to deodex all apps and frameworks and remove some of the bloatware.. And it`s fully working.. I`ll mod it in a few days and upload it.
Meanwhile, as a homework, gather around to open a thread for this device
Cheers!!
It would be frikkin awesome if you can get this up and running. So far I've frozen about 30 bloatware apps including the Twlauncher and am now using Apex launcher and finally consider the phone to be usable and doesn't have the continuous freezing up.

How can I freeze some apps; Do I need to root tge phone;
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Hi yes you need to be rooted first. I used the motochopper thing for rooting, which you can find here with a bit of searching. Very straight forward to do.
Then once rooted you can either use Titanium Pro or can use one of the free tools in the market to freeze apps.
The advantage of freezing apps is that if you break anything as a result of freezing the wrong app you simply defrost it again. To all intents and purposes frozen apps no longer exist to the operating system so they are as good as uninstalled but without the risks.

The apps you freeze depends very much on what you use and what you do with your phone.
I've replaced the TW Launcher with Apex Launcher and use K9 Email instead of the inbuilt email program, so have frozen both of these. I also don't use voice activation/commands etc so have frozen these.
My frozen list so far consists of:
Allshare services
Apps 1.0
ChatOn
Chrome (I use Dolphine)
Clock (modern) 1.0 (an analogue clock widget - I use the digital one)
Discover
Dual Clock (analogue) (I'm only interested in the time in my timezone)
Dual Clock (digital)
Email (I use K9)
Falling Stars
FM Radio (I use the one in the car or the house rather than the one on my cellphone)
Game Hub
Google Play Music (I use Winamp Pro)
Google Text To Speech (I prefer reading things myself than having an electronic voice do it for me)
Hangouts
My Vodacom (a loda of VC crap)
Opera Mini (I prefer Dolphin)
Samsung Account
Samsung Contact SyncAdaptor (Cloud synching of contacts - I already synch with Google/Gmail contacts)
Telmap Navigator (I good gps navigator software but I prefer using Waze as it is lighter on data and has the whole social gps thing going)
Touchwiz Home (Launcher app - I use Apex which is much smoother and quicker on this phone)
TwDVFSApp (related to TouchWiz)
Unlimited Music
Vlive (more VC crap)
Weather Widget (I prefer the Accuweather app and decide when I want to look at the weather)
Weather Widget Main.
This is by no means a full list of what can be frozen, but I've tinkered a bit and freezing these has given a decent lease of life to the phone and I'm not missing I cant live without.
As far as launchers go, I prefer ADW and have a paid-for copy but on a slower more laggy phone like this the Apex launcher smokes anything else out there for speed and usability while not losing any features.
Hope this helps.
Thank you. It was really helpful.

Hi OP, do you know of any methods to flash the recovery without using Odin? Everything I tried failed, flash_image doesn't work (since /proc/mtd doesn't exist) and neither does fastboot (I think..).
If you know of anything, please tell me. Otherwise I guess I'll have to pay for it
Thanks!

I ended up using Odin (I had the misconception that Odin referred to the paid app. I tried to edit the post when I found out but I couldn't).
I can confirm that it works great! I have CWM running. Now I need to wait for a ROM for the Galaxy Fame.
Hey bro, i just want ask, how to change notification panel background?I also had deodex..
I tried to replace the file, but still looks like the original :crying:

Please make the UI same as with the latest jellybean.
For now I got stuck at some lines in script and also had no time.. And for some modifications for the UI you can use Xposed Framework with Gravity Box module if you are rooted.. I have 2 jobs, a fiance and some exams so i`m a lill overdriven. I`ll try to do my best for each one.. Soon i`ll upload the base as deodexed zipaligned and rooted stock with no modification. Maybe there is someone else who wants to mod it and has more time than i have. And 2 more things:
1. I have no ideea at this moment if 6810/p rom works on 6812 or vice versa but i'll test. That's a promise!
2. Don't think there is someone to port 4.4 to our device because is not that easy and it isn't a device with interest.. If you really want 4.4 switch to a device more popular . No promise but after i succed with a working stock and clean maybe i'll try to port cm 10 (as 4.1.2).
Cheers!!
