I built a rom but keep getting - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A gms core error...what can i do ??

Can you be more specific?
GmsCore.apk is the Google Play Services apk packed into system/priv-app/GmsCore by removing the lib folder and placing those .so files in subfolder GmsCore/lib/arm of said folder.
You did choose the Google Play Services with the lib subfolder /armeabi-v7a, right? If you got that from your data partition and named appropriately, it should work but it's best to clean install so the the original in data partition is removed and no stray files/data remain.
At least that's how I do it... quick and dirty as far as the packed apk is concerned. Not sure if you really have delete the sub lib folder for lollipop but I still do.
You can manually move/pack updates to system in that fashion. It seems the applications that claim to be capable of integrating updates into system cannot do this for Google Play (Phonesky) or Google Play Services or Google Search (Velvet). Manually doing this requires deleting the associated /data/data and /data/dalvik-cache files that belonged to the /data/app apk's.

Thats what i didnt do when j build the rom i guess ill do it again thanks for the help

You're welcome. Good luck with that. I'm guessing the only testers you'll find are the ones that unwittingly took the OE1 update or had no control of that update decision.
Hopefully whatever happened with OE1 won't be a continuing trend with Sprint updates. Totally uncool and not smart with ongoing bleeding of subscribers before this even happened. Maybe the blame isn't all Sprint's but they should have input with Samsung to fix this down the road. At least I'm hoping so.
Chime in if you need any further consult. I'm sure you'll find help from sympathetic capable members.

Yea oe3 is the reverse it somewhat i looked into some of the roms from the internation threads they can odin back

[Help] Assembling the most recent/useful GAPPS

Many of the new features in the google's voice search require updated/specific google apps. I know the voice command to "set alarm" requires the googledeskclock found in the leaked G2 rom WHEREAS the "note to self" command only works with Gmail 2.2 and not 2.2.1.
I mostly use CM6 and would love to create a frankenGAPPS for myself.
Where do you guys think is the best place to look for the freshest Google Apps?
Is it better to scavenge in:
Leaked system dumps of phones not released (G2)
System dumps for brand new phones. (Fascinate -if it wasn't Binged out-)
Leaked system dumps for the Nexus1 (FRG33)
I thought the files in the FRG33 would be the most recent but they were all a lot smaller then what I found in the G2 dump. I know bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, but from my experience it usually is newer.
I monitor the 911HTC rss for new roms but this is only one manufacturer. Do you guys know of any other sites that post leaked/official roms?
Here's a leaked System Dump from the HTC Ace (Desire HD). What can we use?

FRG33 is an AOSP ROM. Sense is a lot larger though.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
People throw the term aosp around a lot.
FRG33 is a test build. It is NOT aosp.
911HTC just posted an RUU for the Lexikon.
Is there a way to extract the update.zip without the actual phone?
Yeah, because it doesn't check for the phone connection until after expanding everything into the user's temp folder.
I just can't figure out how to get the file downloaded on that site. I click the link and it takes me to u.115.com, and the site is in... Chinese according to Google.
... wait, I think it wants me to use IE...
let me bring up a VM and see...
Edit: Yeah, I think that's it... But it wants me to install some custom software to do the download? Yes.
Bloody hell, I can't read this at all, but it seems to be coming down... slowly.
Edit #2: Well, that took a while, but it worked.

2.3.4 Gingerbread for the Sprint Tab [CDMA][DEV-FILES]

For those of you that want to get in on early GB development but don't have the skill to compile it from source, I compiled the new source code that dropped for the gingerbread build for the Sprint Tab. This is NOT an installable rom. This is a zip containing the compiled AOSP kernel and system, purely for research/development purposes. Download, unzip and play. I doubt this will boot on a CDMA device without the proper bootloaders, but you're welcome to try. You can even develop AOSP roms from it that will probably run on your tab after the update on the 5th. Enjoy.

Hope someone comes up with a great rom be it asop or other. Im truly looking for great things to come out of this.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
im expecting alot from these files!!!
a working 2.3 rom means the following for cdma tabs:
1.working skype video calls!
2.Working hulu!
3. Last but not least, Working Netflix!
it would make the tablet experience so much better for us CDMA owners.
i want to be the first to make a bug list on the first dev to release a rom
it would be a honor
and glad to see you finally posting something space. you have been in hiding so long, you rival osama lol

I guess I should add: you'll need the driver libs to get this running... you'll have to gank what you can from the gsm GB build. Stuff in /system/lib/hw and /system/lib/egl and so on. Just compare and you will get the idea.

Thanks! This is useful. I am merging the CDMA kernel sources with GSM right now and the PowerVR module is updated so it looks like I will have to switch to newer OpenGL driver from this archive.

I hope it's useful. Sadly, the proprietary files weren't included in the source, so of course you'll have to patchwork from other builds or wait until the official release for some of those.
You're welcome though, glad to be of service.

Open adb shell and run this:
tar -czvf /mnt/sdcard/system_dump.tar.gz /system/
it will create file system_dump.tar.gz in on your sdcard with the contents of your factoryfs (system) partition.
alright! So when my update comes i will do just that and put it on my dropbox, providing you a download link!

I used smali and allowed each APK to reference all of the .odex files in the framework, added the classes.dex files to their respective APKs, and zipaligned. I don't know if it matters, but I did those steps through the command line, although I'm sure the process would be a lot faster with a script. If you would like the exact line-by-line process that I used, let me know.
So how is this Rom & all I have to do is download & flash it or is there another step to do?

The procedures are the same as for other ZIP-based ROMs: download, transfer to phone, and flash through recovery. You may or may not need to erase your data (depending on which ROM you're coming from), but backing up your data beforehand is advisable and never hurts.
I haven't received any feedback regarding this specific ROM yet (I don't know if that's a good or bad sign). The main difference is that it's deodexed and will decompile without errors. I'm sure there are other threads with more in-depth information on IMM26 changes/improvements/issues.
SuperUser
I was impressed with this rom for the first few minutes I used it. But then I found out that my SuperUser app wasn't working. I tried updating the binaries through the app itself but it couldn't gain root access. I downloaded the file again and flashed it again but SuperUser still didn't work. It was the same problem with not gaining root access. So I flash the SuperUser zip file from zedomax's tutorial on rooting the Nexus S 4G and I was able to gain root access. Just thought I'd tell you.
mvilla, how did you fix the superuser root access problem? i am having the same problem when i try to update binary, and im getting permission error when i try to flash recovery in rom manager, i think is because of superuser not working.
I went to nexusshacks.com and downloaded the nexussrootICS.zip file (I think that's what its called). There's a SuperUser.zip file within that zip file. I moved the file to my phone and flashed it in recovery (wipe cache and dalvik cache of course). And its working well.

Hey buddy, I'd LOVE to have the step-by-step, or line-by-line on the process you used to decompile. If you could PM me, or post it up here for everyone to use, that would be great!! I'm kinda new to the decompiling and compiling scene so any help would be great! Also, you said that most devs that use ICS probably use a kitchen to decompile and compile their .jar and .apk files, where is this kitchen? Or are you talking about Android SDK?

Will there be any further updates to this in the near future, or has this reached the end of the line so-to-speak? Just curious because I like having the natural AOSP of this.
Been using this since the 9th and I have to say it's very smooth. Very stock too, which obviously is what it's supposed to be. Just saying that for anyone who comes in looking for something customized. This is basically pure vanilla ICS.
Sorry for the delayed replies. I've been hammered by other obligations lately.

I have replaced the Google apps that have been updated since the IMM26 release. There are rumblings that the official ICS ROM should be released sometime soon. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll offer the same thing to that release once it comes out.
If you're asking about adding functionality or features, I don't think I'd have anything unique to offer since there are so many other ROMs and customizable updates out already. I have considered including FaceLock functionality, but it adds quite a bit of size to the ROM and honestly, it hasn't worked very well for me. If there is enough interest, I'll include it as a separate revision in the future.

Missing apps in ICS play store

Thanks for the reply.
I didn't do anything special on build.prop before to .012 rom.
I just flashed to Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00_WW_GEN1 but the problem (missing apps) still exists.
One example of missing apps is ireader (full version). I can only see ireader (offline). From the other tablet (Nook Color CM9), I can see both versions of ireader.
I also tried to edit build.prop as suggested in this forum to mimic my A100 as A500 in Play Store (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525964), still no luck.
Can anyone help me out? There are many apps I use heavily but cannot load onto A100.
Thanks

Pretty much correct, dev is for releases of some sort, not questions. Buuuuut since its already here may as well pitch in lol.
Modded build.prop is most common way around it, but you can also side load apps from other sources and install from SD or adb.

Sure does!
The Op specifies KK only though
For lollipop, the lines for deleting /system/app/xx.apk and /system/app-priv/xx.apk would have to be changed to delete folders rather than apk's. Then there's applications that changed names.
As far as compatibility from update to update, Samsung and Sprint are fond of changing apps from system/app to /system/priv-app or adding revs to the titles. With that said, this is not compatible update to update and especially not lollipop.
You basically have to look at your ROM system folders and go line by line comparing the updater-script correcting as you go until it's right. Then look for apps that may have changed names, more bloat, etc.
I like to take this script, add mods and customize it so I can have something to flash if needing to go back to stock tar.
