[Rom Add-On] Clean & Stable Add-On For All Stock Firmware V4[21/07/11][New Market]
Please Do Not post this elsewhere
This will not work on newbie5 modded stock rom
Hi All.
I have made this rom add-on to try to keep the device as clean and stable as possible. I could add custom boot screens, launcher (like launcher pro) and much more, but I have only added the essentials. As i think everyone has different tastes and the extras are easily installed. I have chosen to use the software tool which is part of the stock firmware, this insures easy installation on any os. No usb recovery drivers or clockwork mod needed!
V4 Rom Add-On includes:
Market (New)
Google Talk
SuperUser
3D Gallery
Google Calendar
Visionary
YouTube App
(removed titanium backup due to size restraint, can be installed through market)
V4 can be installed over the top of V3, titanium backup will remain
V3 Rom Add-On includes:
Market (Old)[Full]
SuperUser
3D Gallery
Google Calendar
Visionary
Titanium BackUp
YouTube App
If you cannot sync contacts or calendar. Please use this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12385012&postcount=131
I have updated the rom add-on now so if you use the version with -1 at the end, it contains the fix.
Optional .ZIP's
Small Taskbar (For Advent v1.09 and v1.10 firmware only)
Gmail
Contacts
Google Maps can be downloaded from the market
I highly recommend launcher pro, its available from the market. It is a lot better than the stock launcher, and the payed for version has some great widgets.
Button savior, also available from the market. Is also for me a must for the vega, it adds the missing buttons as on-screen buttons.
This V3 update is more of a clean up. There was a lot of confusion over the multiple .rar parts and some compatibility issues with v1.10 POV firmware. I have now removed the small taskbar and added it as a update, so now my rom add-on is fully compatible with the pov firmwares and does not require multiple .rars. Advent firmware users who want the small taskbar, simply flash the Small_Taskbar.zip. If you have already installed my v2 version there is no need to update, as i said its more of a clean up. There are a few added apps, but they are easily installed.
Install Instructions:
1 - Download the .zip you wish to flash. Copy the .zip to "software update" on your SDcard.
2 - Navigate to settings/software tool/software update on vega, and touch the .zip
3 - Device will reboot and a "out of a box" android will appear and install the parts.
You will not lose any of your apps/data from this process.
Please make sure you have sufficient power to apply Add-On, i would recommend 50%
Root Instructions:
Root is required for some apps. Eg Button savior requires this for it to function fully.
1 - Open visionary
2 - Touch "Temproot now" the screen will go blank for a few seconds and return to the visionary page. Then click it again. (i have no idea why it is required to do this twice, but in my experience it is necessary)
3 - Touch "Attempt Permroot now" After a few seconds a super user prompt will appear, allow the prompt. Then device will reboot and it should be rooted.
If Flash does not work, navigate to /etc/shuttle_data and run the flash.apk. That will reinstall the included flash version.
If all apps are not showing in the market please follow ice-mn tip. Many thanks to him for this.

Since there are several post discussing this I have opened this thread instead answering the same on all of them.
To get all apps (at least all I have looked for ) you only have to follow the steps described.
1. Go to Manage Applications (in settings/applications)
2. Press the running tab and select market (if market is not running execute it)
3. Select Market from running apps. And:
Press Clear Cache
Press Force Stop
4. Go back and Select Google Services Framework. And:
Press Clear Data (answer ok on the message warning)
Press Force Stop
5. Try to run Market. You will get an error message.
6. Reboot the device and run market twice (the first one you will get the error message again).

Welcome to xda dev. I see this is your first post
Glad you find it useful. i hope to update it soon with a complete package (Flash etc), i just need some where to host it.

Hi All.
I have been playing with the market enabler (thanks to demonknight9). I have added the small taskbar framework to the update. so now you can have the market and small taskbar on a stock v1.08 vega. More gmail apps can be downloaded from the market. As demonknight9 says its very easy to install. No need for CWM.
1 - Download market_update0.zip file and put on storage card.
2 - Navigate to settings/software tool/software update, and navigate to location of market_update0.zip.
3 - Run the market_update0.zip
4 - Device will reboot and install the parts.
You will not lose any of your apps/data from this process.
It looks like flashing things to are vegas is easy, can be done from the software update. The zip is unsigned. More things can be added but i thought i would keep it simple to start with.
Hope its useful
I have made one with flash,spare parts and superuser as well, but it is larger than i can upload to xda dev. if anybody has somewhere i can upload i would be gratefull.
EDIT:I have added the flash.apk to enable flash, visionary to fully root the device and spare parts to disable compatibility mode for games to the attachments.

Good idea to add the bits. Why don't you upload it to fileape? Easy peasy to open an account. Just chose a username and a pass, no email, no confirmation just a plane doddle. go here; www.fileape.com
Upload it to mediafire, you dont even need to register an account to use it
How long does the market updater take, my vega been hanging for about 10 minutes, is this normal?

Which part is it hanging on, once run the device should reboot, then a picture of a box with a arrow appears, and the progress bar bellow turns orange. I have flashed this and different versions with no problems.

Thats very odd. I have re-flashed 4 different versions in the last 10 mins with no problems. Try to hold the power button down for six seconds to totally shut down. Plug the device into the power. Then try a reboot. If that does not work then you are going to have to go into recovery and re-flash the stock rom. Sounds like the flash got interrupted for some reason.

Many thanks, I re-installed the stock rom after putting it into recovery. I tried the market updater again and it worked no problem. Thinking about it now I was on low battery so that why it might not have worked 1st time round..

Is there any way to revert back to large notification bar? It does look good but It's a little too small for me.

UPDATED 11/26/2011
Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

What is the error it gives u? Does it say platform not supported? or it needs higher version of flash?
works perfect. However please add this to instructions *must switch flash from on demand to always on

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.
Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.
i'm on 8.2.3.9-20110423
I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.
Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.

Hi there, I don't think your file is correct because nothing happens after flash. I am sure I've d/l the full file correctly.
i have flashed the file over cm11 armv6 and its working did you wipe?

Yes, I do wipe and make a clean flash from scratch. My phone is HTC one X with CM11 ROM.

Sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear. what I was doing is fully wipe and flash CM11 ROM for HTC one X from scratch, and afte rall my google apps abd data is download back to normal from server, and then I flash your mod WITHOUT WIPE. But I don't see any app or other mod inside the system after reboot. I check it with root explorer. So I think I do follow your step, right ? Do you ever try to clean-wipe flash from scratch and then flash your mod ?
i checked it again and it works without aby problems on a clean install

Check if you had system partition mounted when you were installing the package, if there weren't any files installed thetn this might be the problem.
@shiftyHungary did it work for you
Good Luck !!
can any one confirm that it works
Wowza...just beathed alot of extra life into my ZTE Awe. Lolipop launcher and quickboot dont work on my device, but i can live without them. Well done
Quick boot mod only works on official cm11 builds and some other builds like armv6 build but the quick but apk works on any android device
The app just force closes whenever I try to open it. We at the Awe forums on androidforums are running an unofficial build, so it makes sense to me the mod wouldnt work but the app is not as well. Again, I can do without. Everything else, minus the launcher, appears to be working.
Though I can't find any difference when running the "boost" command. What is it supposed to do exactly?
its apically for games
Well again I didn't notice much of a difference with or without running it. Real Racing 3, GTA San Andreas and Modern Combat 4/5 run significantly better than before the mod. I was able to even record some decent game plays on each with Rec Screen Recorder with only about a 10fps drop and minor lag, something I struggled to do initially. All in all, I'll confirm this works and have already spread the word to my fellow Awe users.
Many thanks for your hard work

-No camera included. Google Camera 2.5.052 recommended http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-5-052-release/
-As of the 4/23 release the ro.opa.eligible_device=true is no longer in the system/build.prop. This will cause the Google App to use Google Now interface instead of Google Assistant. If you want to use Google Assistant use the Get Assistant - Root app on the PlayStore (choose NEW method when prompted) OR if you use Magisk theres a Google Assistant Enabler module for this.
-Want a Pixel Launcher that allows swipe up to App Drawer in landscape? Sideload the Android O Pixel Launcher from apkmirror.com http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ixel-launcher-o-3952143-android-apk-download/

Hi is it compatible with f2fs format?
Hmm, looks interesting... lets give this one a go, shall we?
lollyjay said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Kernels support f2fs, firstly, not ROMs. The stock AOSP kernel with this ROM doesn't support f2fs. But if you find a custom kernel that supports f2fs you can use it and format your data and cache partitions to f2fs on any ROM. Secondly, f2fs is only faster on writes, so only data and cache partitions benefit from that file system. ROM support for f2fs (as had been popular a couple years ago) would only be to allow system partition to also support f2fs, which this ROM doesn't have. That type of support is pretty much a thing of the past because it's a pain in the ass to do since ROM zips started using block storage convention and there's no speed advantage to having system be f2fs anyway. Make sense?
I don't wanna hear about all the common f2fs issues that have nothing to do with the ROM if you do try it. These include:. Couldn't flash ROM/GAPPS because it says system partition too small, couldn't make or restore a nandroid, lost all my data because I didn't offload it first, lost all my data when my data partition got corrupted, wrong internal storage size reported, can't take photo/screenshot write to internal storage.
If you're smarter than the average problem solver and have a PC, an OTG, and enjoy offloading and moving stuff back, then the modest (if not just placebo) speed gain of going f2fs may be worth the risk of wasted time and lost data. If you're the user that uses a toolkit instead of a terminal, then I'd let that sleeping dog lie.
Your point(s) well taken. Personally I have found little to gain from f2fs., except for my old TF300T
This rom is superb!!! It contains just about everything I had ever dreamt of seeing on the lovely, old Nexus 7, from Nougat in full flow to Google assistant and Night Light. I can even watch some previously impossible TV by
using the 'hide' function in the new version 11.6 of Magisk along with Magisk Manager from the Playstore. Many thanks to the Dev for giving my Nexus 7 a new lease of life. This is super work.
this rom is great
but one problem i think.
if its possible, in next build remove some apk from system, like chrome, calendar, calculator, gboard, google fotos
please
its to free some system space

The ROM is in sync with @BeansTown106 source with the exception of my removing Google Camera 4.x from the Gapps because it's incompatible with Flo. Removing gboard would leave you with no keyboard, see the changelog in the OP.
Are you bumping up against a full system when attempting to flash more mods?
You're welcome to remove whatever system apps you want (before or after booting) if you need more system partition space. That said, the only apps I'd consider removing from built in Gapps, if they are still in source on the next go around, would be Hangouts, Chrome, and Photos.
@buffal0b1ll
Maybe there is a meaning remove gapps from rom...
That there were no questions on this topic)
Great rom love it so quickly
Great Rom just installed on my N7 (2013) .
Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk
My end goal is to be running an OS that can get me to eventually run youtube netflix etc on the device.
What's the latest android version and or rom that should be installed? After some reading Lineage OS may be the thing I'm looking for.
But with so many versions of each thing, it's difficult to find something concise.
I'm of course a noob.
Depends on what you want to use it for. Would not recommend installing Google Apps because it turns the tablet into a laggy mess. The latest android version right now is Oreo with only 1 rom that is not even close to be usable as a daily driver. So Marshmellow and Nougat is the way to go. And compared to some thing like the Grand Prime the Tab 2 has a tiny amount of versions. You will probably find something that works in Unified. I don't know if Netflix runs without gapps but you can install YouTube vanced no ads and works with out gapps. I use Orion OS

Thanks for the reply. I got as far as rooting the device. Stuck on installing lineage OS Via Phil (made thread) I will give Orion a shot when I get home. Hopefully it's simply that the lineage I'm downloading was not compatible and not an issue with the tablet.
I tried to install Orion OS
I chose Wipe the cache partition and then chose clean to install a new ROM, then loaded the ZIP
It's the closest I've gotten to installing a custom ROM
OrionOS system files verified
Flashing SuperSU
unmount of /system failed: no such volume
script succeded result was []
install from sd complete
press any key to continue
I then reboot and get taken back to phil, i reboot a second time and there was an orion logo, but it just stayed on a gif of planets after that
maybe i did something wrong along the way
or should i wait more than 10min? (orion page says it does it in 4)
Edit......
Solved it... somehow
I installed twrp instead of phil
Got the same exact errors though.
I rebooted like three times, then went to go get lunch for half hour (~35) and orion was installed.
My initial goal is reached, but the tablet may not be optimal for on the go use. I'll have to test some x265 x264 mkv video files and see how well they run.
Question:
Security wise, I don't have to do anything else?
I heard that since it allows installing from unknown sources it can theoretically be hacked.

Don't do anything else. Unless you download an apk of an unknown app from browser or anywhere else and install it, there is no risk at all.

If you have not installed GAPPs, the rom will be fast. Installing GAPPs will make the device a bit slow.

Security isnt a problem unless you install some weird apks or crap like that. Dont install gapps and it will be fast netflix may not work but there are some alternatives to yt. Gapps just make it lag. I heard that Nougat works better with gapps but idk. Also use TWRP it should work with everything.
That error happened to me too but its not really an error
If you wont use gapps here are some alternative apps
Aurora Store (play store)
Newpipe & Youtube Vanced (yt)
Kiwi Browser (chrome)
Awesome thanks guys
Yeah heard no GAPPS is better. Don't really need any of them looking back, not on the tablet at least, so that's good.
I got Aurora and Youtube Vanced on it now. Netflix appears to work, haven't logged in yet.
Disabled animation to make it more snappy.
I think that's all that can be done.
The reason I asked was because of prior posts saying that SuperSU was necessary, but I think it's already installed as it has been asking permission to install on a few things. My worry was things (apks?) auto installing if I went on browser.
