@subworx - thank you on creating Aroma script for debloating

DON'T DELETE LGApduService.apk (LGApduService) and LGSmartcardService.apk (LGSmartcardService)!! Otherwise you will end up with "Security Error" during the boot and will have to do recovery or reflash firmware.
Also don't delete KeyguardTestActivity (LGKeyguard.apk). Otherwise the home and the app history buttons will stop working.
I'm using LGV31 ISAI, a Japanese version of LG G3.

PC dependent this? Or fota possible?

market won't stop crashing i don't know why!

I just redid my whole phone. I'm on el29/calkulin 2.9 the market place won't stop crashing, i can't get it to install or update anything. I wiped my dalvik, replaced the market apk and cleared its updates and cache. WTF is wrong with it?
Did you flash the latest gapps and/or try to fix permissions?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Also try clearing the cache.
I thought Calk didn't need gapps
wiping cache and fix permissions made it worse. all it says now is process.com.android.vending closed or whatever the instant i try anything
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I would start from scratch with a new flash. Skip restoring backed up apps, install them from the market, then scrap your app back ups and make new ones.
just did, now it doesn't crash, but it still can't install anything

I did a quick google search for you and found c couple of things you could try out..
--------------------------------------------------------
i did end up fixing it by logging on the android market place on my computer https://market.android.com/?hl=en then i signed in using my gmail account and started installing a bunch of apps and some how it started getting pushed to my phone. and then within like 15 mins, i could just brows the market place on my phone and download and install apps. so my recommendation is to try installing a bunch of apps via the marketplace using your computer and then wait 15 min and then try it on your phone....
--------------------------------------------------------
Hey i had been searching a week for a solution to this problem and this worked for me
"SOLUTION:
NOTE: You WON'T lose all your installed apps if you do this (at least I didn't). However, if you clear the data for Settings, you will lose your preferences. Try doing it w/o clearing the data for settings, then if that fails do it again and clear the Settings data.
1. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Press All (or Show All, etc.)
3. Clear Data for the following Apps (if data is clearable):
- Account and Sync Settings
- com.google.andriod.feedback
- Gmail (and Gmail Storage if it is there)
- Google Services Framework
- Google Voice
- Maps
- Market & Market Updater
- Network Location
- News and Weather
- Search
- Sound Recorder
- Talk
- TTS Service
- Voice Search
- VPN Services
- World Newspapers
- YouTube
- Settings (Settings will close when you clear its data)
I don't use the email client app (not the Gmail app but the one simply called 'Email'), so I don't know if you'll need to clear its data or not. If all else fails, try it (I imagine you'll lose any downloaded emails).
4. Clear the data for any apps associated with any of the above listed apps.
5. Clear the data for any other applications affiliated with Google or your Google account.
6. Clear the data for any applications that aren't uninstallable, i.e. 'built-in' applications.
7. Reboot and you're done. Google Talk should work correctly now.
I'm sure this is overkill. Some of these apps may not have anything to do with the problem but when I cleared the data for them and rebooted, Google Talk worked correctly. Also, I am using an Archos 70 IT so you might have some different requirements for this procedure on your phone/tablet. BTW I got the Google Talk error when I changed the password on my primary Google account.
Good luck!" via dumb_nobody on the xda-developers forum
Hope this helps, i was going insane and this finally worked.
--------------------------------------------------------
Deleted my google account, rebooted phone. Clicked market, re-added my google account and it was sorted!

Viper4Android for 4.4 w/install guide

Viper4Android now officially supports KitKat with version 2.3.1.3
If you don't know what it is, it's a sound mod on steroids:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Note: Do not even consider the Viper4Android app in the Play Store.
I thought I'd write up a quick and easy install guide. It used to be more complicated to install, having to choose the CPU etc. Now it's much more self configuring
I've never needed to do more than this. But in the OP of the Viper thread there are things about installing it as a system app, setting permissions, etc. But this has always worked for me (On Note II and 2012 N7)
But you might want to review the installation notes anyway
You must be rooted and have Busybox installed
Be sure you have unknown sources enabled in Settings/Security and I always uncheck verify sources but that's up to you.
Download Viper4Android - It's small 7mb (the downloads are right after the Last Update Log)
I have found the easiest way to install is to use Root Explorer, but the idea will be the same for any file manager.
In Root Explorer
Navigate to the folder where your download is
Long press Viper4Android_FX
Choose Extract All
The file will start extracting and will only take a few seconds
You will be prompted to 'Go to extracted' choose that option
Open the folder Viper4Android_FX by clicking on it
Click on the apk Viper4Android_4.x_(version you downloaded)
When prompted choose install
Follow the prompts
Then choose Done, or Open if you want to go straight to the Viper4 install routine
Open the Viper4 app in your app drawer and follow the prompts
Grant the app root access
When prompted to install/update the driver choose Yes
Choose the Audio Quality you want. I have always chosen Super Audio Quality so I can't comment on the others.
When prompted about needing a dual-core CPU choose OK
Press Ok when prompted to reboot your phone.
Reboot your phone
Launch Viper
Under the menu check driver status it should show the version and Status: Normal
If you enabled it already it will say Enabled: Yes
On the web site there are instruction to change these lines in build.prop - if you have them - I didn't have them
Ipa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false
Under the menu there is an option for the UI mode. It simple sets how many options you see. Personally I use Expert because it exposes more setting for Automatic Gain Control that I need to dial in what I like. But it exposes a lot of stuff I never use.
There is information in the Viper thread about the settings, some are not particularly clear, and other options for getting Viper working with the Apps you use. I've never had to do anything special to have it work with the Media apps I use which is Google Play, Pandora and Slacker and a few (free) music players.
How do you know if it's working? I always read you have to enable it in settings - sounds - sound effects, but I don't have that in cm11. I already deleted DSP, but how do I know my audio is being processed with Viper?

Set compability Mode from normal to compatible . And reboot. If you listen music on Apollo, you can go to settings and check Viper FX in equalizer.

Hello! I recently installed viper on my Galaxy, but am having the issue that its not affecting sound output. I disabled LPA (Low Power Audio) as recommended by the app, installed busybox, and installed the needed drivers. I proceeded to wildly adjust every parameter but noticed exactly no difference, which leads me to believe the app is not working properly. Could someone please throw me in the right direction?
P.S. My phone is rooted, I have Xposed and SuperSU working properly

Android L style recent apps for nokia X/XL

Every device is getting lollipop these days but our x and xl's dont even have a decent kitkat rom.
The most we've done to our popular 4.1.2 roms is theme it like lollipop using launchers apps xposed and stuff.
One of the best things new in the new android 5.0 is the stylish recent apps panel. I did a lot of googling and here im going to teach how to install 5.0 recent apps panel in any custom rom and even stock rom.
Prerequisites:
1- Fancy app switcher
(Im too lazy to post a link so go to play store type the app name and download the app at top of the list)
2- Xposed module.(ya'll know how to install it)
3- gravitybox(found im the download section of xposed app)
Now lets begin.
1 - install the fancy switcher app.
2- install xposed. (If you dont know how to do this step shame on you. [emoji14] )
3- now install gravitybox and activate it in xpose module.
4- open gravitybox go to navigation key actions.
5- now in the back key long press action(as we dont have a recent apps key) select fancy app switcher as default app.
6- now long press the back key and bam.......
( if you are using a nav bar select the function of recent key as fancy app switcher)
Credits to jeremy kabiche for creating such an awesome app and me myself for wasting almost half and hour googling and writing this tutorial.

Hell yeah! Thank you.
Only issue I've run into is camera layout is a little janky. (Camera shutter button in middle of the screen)
edit: I'm an idiot and didn't know why I didn't try this myself but I'm also posting this message to help others.
Obviously this is due to DPI settings and perfectly correctable with the App Setting Xposed module and setting the camera app to ~550-575.

Separate issue now: music player and google play music do not work. Music PlayerPro works if DSP pack installed.
Samsung Theme Store
This is exactly what im looking for in a ROM. Thank you. However, i have purchased a lot of themes and would like to use them. Is there any patches/mods/apks etc that you have to get the theme store back working on this ROM? Right now the app is removed and force closes settings when clicked on.

Thank you. Sorry to be a pain..i tried googling it to find it but i could only find one that would not install for me. Do you happen to have it so i could install it?
So i checked it over and Samsung Billing is already in this ROM. What isnt is ThemeCenter and ThemeStore. I added those both to System/priv-app and now tje Theme Store does not crash. However, when trying to start using the store, an error pops up as follows, "The device ID is more then 20 bytes". TW SLIM v1.3 etc...so im guessing the device ID used in creating the ROM is too large. Is there a simple way to edit the device ID in build prop to make it work without issue?

After just renaming to the actual device ID of SM-G928P. I was able to use the theme store with no issues. So anyone out there also wanting to use theme store with this rom, you need both ThemeStore_3xh.apk and ThemeCenter.apk as well as to change the device ID in system/build.prop
Thread closed as it will not be supported going forward.

Post your setup of apps/tweaks

I don't see a thread like this in here like other devices usually do, so let's share our setups. If you're running xposed list what you're using and what it does! Should be good info to get things away from the stock ugly ui.
My xposed list is as follows:
Audio privacy - for removing album art on lockscreen
Clean lockscreen - removes user icon, emergency call button,letters and backspqce from pin lock
Enable notification ticker on lollipop - self explanatory
Gravity box LP - long press back to kill, media controls, hide am/PM
Hide carrier label v2 - removes carrier label from lockscreen
Hide emergency button - clean lockscreen leaves the space clickable, this stops that
Lockscreen widgets LP - self explanatory, very needed!
Lockscreen Disabler - disables pin lock so I can unlock with fingerprint or swipe, relocks pin after idle
Reboot without su - enable xposed reboot
Return my enter key - replaces smiley on hangouts with enter key
Snapprefs - if you don't know what this is you've never rooted before
Spotify skip - unlimited skips, track seeking, peek, everything you want
Xperia camera enhancements - unbind album app to quickpic
Xperia/aosp navbar buttons - use this for menu key and shrinking navbar styling
Xperia xposed LP - power menu theming!
Xstana - status bar theming
YouTube ad away - essential
YouTube background playback - listen to playlists with screen off
A lot of those are to get features back that lollipop took away, which hasn't been easy to do. I am also using nova prime, Materis icon pack, lollipop minimal theme, team battery bar, and Modded Google keyboard with emojione emojis. A few system tweaks I'm using are the sound boost mod, torch LED upgrade, and a really nice hosts file. And in the spirit of theming I run Google maps 6.9.0, eBay 3.0.0.19, and quickpic 4.5.2 because their redesigned apps all have sucked.
I'm curious to see what else y'all have tried as I'm still not happy with a few things and not being able to change them. Hopefully we can get cyanogenmod to the z5c soon.

Waiiiiiiit, which firmware version are you running, and which xposed version ?

I'm on .200 with zombie kernal and v80 xposed. I forgot who helped me on here but I couldn't get xposed to work on this phone for weeks. The only combination that's works to my knowledge is zombie kernel (doesn't support twrp so you have to hot boot it to use it..) Wipe dalvic and cache, flash xposed, reboot and it'll compile all 600+ apps. This is where mine kept messing up the phone kepg overheating and shutting off at around 190 degrees. It took a few tries to get it not to crash and all has been good so far. You can't wipe dalvic again without going into boot loop, keep the uninstall zip handy and just redo the framework if you ever need to.
Goddamn it, I've tried everything except trying another kernel. Thanks for the info!
Error 404

Yup, When I first tried zombie I couldn't get into twrp and dismissed the kernel entirely until I was told to use it lol
