[ROM] DI14 Pick-n-Pack 0.2 ROM

DI14_pick-n-pack_0.2 ROM for the Samsung Mesmerize
I have reworked this ROM to make it a little easier to work with. In the 0.2 version, you will be able to flash the main package without any need to add files like in the 0.1 version. As for the removed apk files, they are now flashable either individually or in packs depending on what they are. I felt this would be an easier way to still get what you want but not having to put things together before flashing.
I still recommend that you take a backup before you flash anything. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone while flashing any or all parts of this ROM. I also recommend that you download both the ROM and Addons at the same time so that you do not have to wait for a second download after you have already flashed the ROM.
Also, to be clear since there has been confusion, MMS is 100% functional in this ROM because it uses stock MMS, not AOSP.

Download the ROM and Addons. Unzip the Addons and decide which packs you want to flash. Put the ROM and individual Addons on your sdcard and boot into recovery. Flash the ROM first. Then you can flash the Addons individually. When you are done, reboot. If the phone hangs at the boot animation for more than 5 minutes, pull the battery, do three button to get back to recovery and do a data wipe/factory reset. Reboot and things should be fine.

I don't see why not.

Awesome! I'm reading up some more on how to flash these roms in and I plan on using this one. I'm new to this and just learning.

I installed ROM Manager and installed "flash clockworkmod recovery" (it said I had to) and then I clicked backup current ROM. I have tried twice, and it said failed each time.
I'm afraid to try it again, as I don't want to ruin my phone.
Any ideas?

Try going in to recovery by turning off the phone, hold the power and volume down button. Once in recovery, select apply sdcard:update.zip. That should get you get you to clockwork recovery. From there select install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard. Find the zip and flash it.
Let me know if that works.

I sent you a PM.

Everything works. Installed without a hitch, has all the programs gone that I wanted and kept the ones I wanted by switching them to the correct folder.
This guy got on chat with me and walked me through step by step, great guy with a great ROM!

Im liken it thanks....
Nicely done my friend this just gives people more options thank you....

Thanks. That was my thinking. A lot of people were asking for apps to be put back in to jt's super clean ROM so I figured this was the easiest way that anyone could just drop in what they want and it would be custom tailored to their needs.

Since I've seen over 200 people look at the page but only 2 download the package, I'm thinking that there's got to be something to the hesitation. Feedback is welcome here, and encouraged. If this is too scary and people want something that they can just flash, throw some ideas out to me. I'm definitely open to suggestions.

I think the holidays may have something to do with it. Personally, I plan to use this once I get my phone rooted (for some reason z4root locks my phone up every time) But I want to wait until the rushing, travelling holiday is over because I cant go without my phone =)

I'm happy with the SuperClean Rom and Voodoo 5 right now, otherwise I'd have given this one a shot.

I'm still using this and I have had no issues. I like being able to choose which programs are going to be on my droid, instead of having all or none that I want.

I am getting same errors also..
I have done super one click..
Run Rom Manager and chose ROM it asks to reboot I get error.
When I choose SD update.zip it boots back into a image that has sceens that have black widgets.. All other Samsung and USSC stuff is still there as well as ROM Manager..

You have to do some work on the files to make ROM Manager working.
Get Clockwork Working
That will let you make the backup.zip and install from the SD card. Threw me for a loop as well.

One thing I do not want to lose or at least be able to find in another app is the SMART ALARM ..
I know... I got used to it in just a couple days. Love the way it sort of eased you awake instead of a full on GET UP..
So question would be. Which apk and dependencies would I need to keep and or anyone know of another app that would give me same with more options.

[SOLVED]Android has no launcher

I ended up unistalling all launchers in my p500, now everytime i turn it on it gets stuck at the android logo screen, simply wont go any further
is there any way i can install an app from my computer or flashing it?
thx ahead

It is in boot loop because your phone has no launcher to boot into. Only way to install is via adb maybe or doing a fresh install of your ROM.
Swyped from my LG-P509 using XDA App.

check this or this

i still have spb 3d installed on this phone
is there any way i can set this as the default launcher outside the phone?

ok heres the problem, even if i have to do a fresh install of my ROM, how can i set my phone into debugging mode first?
the only way i can access my phone is when i hard reset it then it boots once even with no launcher, but i cant go to configurations or anything
I do have recovery in this phone, is there any way i can flash a zip to install a launcher or something like that?
this is really starting to worry me

You are not telling us what ROM are you using. But since you have a custom recovery installed, I suppose it's not an official ROM. So, as a last resort, you can flash your ROM once again. You won't lose your apps, contacts, settings etc., but the default launcher of that ROM will be back on.
Also, for crying out loud, if you have a custom recovery, why don't you have a backup? It would have saved you a lot of trouble.

I have an official unbranded version from LG, v10a_02 if I recall correctly
when i try to flash the ROM from a zip file i get this message:
E: No signature (1 files)
E: Verification failed
the reason why i dont have a backup its because it was all a huge accident, i had launcher pro installed, then i wanted to try spb 3d out but it only worked as soon as i installed it, it kept coming back to launcher pro so i uninstalled launcher pro and thats the result

No info about which recovery you are using, no info about what ZIP you are trying to flash either... eh.
Anyway, what on earth are you doing here. Just adb push some launcher APK to /system/app from recovery.

Anyone kindly give him a flashable zip.
Or
When you boot up, press search button and type the name of file manager installed on your phone.
Your file manager should show up. Click it and go to SD card and install any launcher apk from there.
Play with search button. Look for file manager, settings, any other app by long pressing it and find your way to reach SD card.

thanks this was really helpful, i didnt know you could use adb from recovery mode
Problem solved!
I mounted /data on recovery and pushed Launcher.apk to /data/app
and it worked
thanks everyone

Good. Now, do not do it again!

Two more things for you to do:
1. Optional: edit the topic's name to begin with [SOLVED]
2. Mandatory: make a complete backup using the recovery

New very simple solution

Actually I got this problem of no launcher on my galaxy mini, deleted samsung launcher and all other launcher also by mistake.
Search for "[GUIDE/DOWNLOAD] Install apk files quickly from computer to your device" thread on XDA, I follow that, installed GoLauncher using usb,
(I was stuck at Samsung logo, no notification bar, opened Kies, it automatically connected phone, still on samsung logo)
disconnected using kies, problem solved.
Hope this solution will help those who don't know about deeper android things. Thanks.

[Q] Launcher Problems

I would like to start by saying this is entirely my fault but I would be very grateful for any help.
So, I downloaded a custom launcher called touchwiz 4.5 onto my phone and everything was working perfectly until I decided to open up root explorer and try to change the name so it would run in the background instead of TW3. So I did it but when I pressed home it asked me which launcher to use and I selected the wrong one and the set as default was checked. Now, I am stuck without a launcher so I can not open anything at all to fix the problem.
I will be extremely happy if I do not need to buy a new phone and thank anyone in advance.

Left Soft Key -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Find & select the TW4.5 launcher or whatever in the list -> scroll down to Launch by default -> Clear defaults.

Thanks, but there is one thing I forgot to mention earlier. I cannot access the main screen because I receive force close messages while the phone is on, and there is no delay between them so I cannot even use it. I was thinking maybe there is a way through the computer.

You have a root so you gave cwm recovery, correct?

Look up Odin in the Bible. You can use it to restore the phone. If you can make a backup of your micro SD onto a computer. Other than that if you deleted your launcher your phones gonna keep FCing on you. Cool thing to try to delete though.

ADB Push the apk(s) back over?

Your best bet would be to just go into CWM, create a NAND backup, Odin a new ROM, and advanced restore your NAND's data. That should clear up everything.
Using ADB is not that easy, especially when you're new to all this stuff.

Everyone should be forced to learn.basic adb commands before being able to root their phones for problems just like this.

Upgrade launcher? in custom ROM

Hello!
This is my first post so please don't throw stones on me. I was interested if, for example I run CM7, how can I replace the built in Launcher? it has ADW but it's outdated, so I want to put in for example the latest version.
As I see, if I install launcher for example X on the phone, this will be installed over the built in one. You know what I mean, the bulit in is there running and my new launcher is there to... is it possibile to remove the original one and put a new one in?

I don't think it's possible because it's essentially the same as a stock launcher, you can't just remove it and have nothing there. This is what I believe to be true anyway.
As you know, you can run another launcher over the top, why don't you just do that? It doesn't cause any problems for you.

Thank you...
I don't want to do that because the RAM. This is the main reason... as I saw I got only 128 which is almost insufficient for running any other app on the phone...

You can try intalling a new launcher then uninstalling the system launcher.
Or you can install a new launcher as a system app. And uninstall system launcher.
Or install a new launcher as a user app and convert into system app and uninstall system launcher.

I'll make a back-up and than see if it boots to flash recovery... of so... I'll try
thank you...
UPDATE
seems like I can't boot into CWM recovery with power + volume up + volume down
it says something like firmware upgrade failed... and dies... remove battery, put back and boot normaly... If I remain withouth a launcher and I won't be able to boot to CWM recovery to reinstall rom I'll softbrick my phone... :-S

Try using anttek app manager or titanium backup to freeze adw once you've installed a launcher you want. That will keep it out of memory, but it's easily undone.

Yap, you may want to try this, and since you're on CM7 I believe you have root acess.
So, install the launcher you want (it's not obligatory you use ADW)
Install Titanium Backup from the market.
Open TB and select 'Backup/Restore'
Scroll until you find the stock launcher (ADW in your case), select it and then choose Uninstall. You will have some warnings since it's a system app, no problem there.
After that just open the new launcher with the home button, it should do the trick
Cheers

I'll try this as soon as I got home...
But right now, how can I boot into recovery with clockworkmod?
I mean, from poweroff...
pressing those keys just boots into firmware upgrade...

In terminal emulator type "reboot recovery" without the quotes and hit enter. As long as you have busybox this should work.
Also, I said to freeze the app because it's easier to undo than if you uninstall it. Plus, you don't have to keep a backup on your SD.

Don't know about busybox. It said something about it while I rooted. Don't know if it's still there.
I'll try freezing it.
Still didn't figured out how to boot into recovery from power off.
Update:
Launcher frozen. Restarted. Everything works as expected. Maybe I'll uninstall it later.frozen with link2sd.
Same think can I do with android keyboard if I have another one?
UPDATE2:
If I don't have a launcher I can't even access terminal emulator. So, how to boot into CWM recovery from power off? Do I need to have USB cable in my phone connected to pc?

Can't help you on the recovery, sorry different device, I think it has a different way to boot :/
On the keyboard one, yes, you can do it to the keyboard also, but why deleting stock keyboard? It's good for having a backup when the custom fails.
But why do you lack a launcher? You should always have a launcher, of course without it you can't access anything.
You should first install the second launcher and then delete the first one, not the other way around :/

Yeah but I like to play safe so until I don't know how to boot into recovery I won't delete it...

You install another launcher BEFORE freezing the stock launcher.
Read my original post in this thread and you'll see that's what I wrote.
You'll need adb at this point. Install it, install the driver for your phone, use adb to push a launcher apk to either /system/app or /data/app. Also, you can use adb to enter recovery by typing "adb reboot recovery" without the quotes.

it's just that I don't trust myself
I've installed another launcher already...
Now... can you be a bit more open for the ADB thing?
I'm at work, here I can't install usb debugging...
as I understand, with ADB I got something like a terminal or thing like that and I cand send command to the phone

Correct. Install adb (google is your friend). Find the usb driver for your phone and install it on your home computer. Connect your phone through usb. Open a command prompt and cd (change directory) to the adb folder. Type adb devices. If a device number is returned, you can go from there. There are tons of useful commands.

One thing... I have u8180. But about phone says u8160. Since rooted and cm7 it's recognized as u8160 even by Google play. Hm as I see there is a work around. U8180/u8160 shares the same hw. So if adb will recognize it as one of them it will be OK?

No home

So, I wanted to do a factory reset on My old Sensation so I could give it to my dad. I did it, but I forgot that I removed default home application from it. And since I removed my account from it, there is no GoLauncher Ex on it theat I used either, so I can't see any screen, menus, nothing. All I can do is I am able to use notification bar and view settings. I have no backup anywhere. Why did I ever even root you ask if I am not computer or phoney savy, well, because I wanted to remove some apps, so here I am now. Any ideas?

Could I simply install GoLauncher on it somehow?

IF you have a another android phone or a computer you could enable bluetooth and send the apk file wich is go launcher. You can search Google "go launcher apk download".

Press thanks if it helped

You can install it by using sdk using a computer but my guess is that you dont know how to do that so just download the official ruu if you are bootloader lock or there are many stock rooted roms if u have s-off and have a custom recovery...
I mean no disrespect by assuming u cant flash an apk through sdk on a pc...
Forgot to mention there is a third and easier way which is to find a launcher zip that can be flashed on recovery like touchwiz from the galaxy s3 then you can flash then you can install any other app out of the play store and remove or keep the flashed launcher just in case you reset the phone again...

Best thing to do is. Download golauncher apk file to your computer then either you send it via Bluetooth,or you can create or have account in any file sharing site eg. Box or dropbox. Uploaded to that then make file as for sharing to friends, you will get specific wab address to access that file then download from ur phone. You will see download in dropdown notification menu install file from there.

Thanks guys, you are right, I don't know how to flash, no offence taken, I just wanted to share an easy solution, perhaps someone messes up like I did some day, in settings I went to TTS and pretended to want to download English files. That lauched Market for me and I just downloaded Go Launcher from there. I was just veeeeery lucky.
