[APPS] Flashable 4.4 KitKat Apps - AROMA - Android Apps and Games

I didn't want to install all these apps manually on all of my devices, so I made a recovery flashable zip with aroma options to pick which apps to install. Figured I would share with everyone.
Apps are the same as the ones posted all over the web, I just packaged them up.
Calendar
Clock
Email
Gallery
Gmail
Camera
Google Home
Hangouts
Keep
Keyboard
Play Services
Search
I suggest making a backup before installing, since they ill replace system apps and might not work correctly on all devices (clock works on my tablet but not phone for instance).
Some apps work, some don't depending on device and rom type. I'm not supporting this, just sharing.

[THEME][4.30.13][UNIVERSAL] App Packs - Stock/Inverted/Transparent

Originally, I put together these app packs to give extra options to those who use my Universal themes. However since these can be used on their own and are not theme dependent, I figured I would give then their own thread for all of you to enjoy
These theme packs use the VRTheme package to completely alter some of the most commonly modded apps. This will not add apps but simply alter apps that you currently have on your device.
Whiteout contains stock apps exactly as they would appear from the market (except Play Music which had been turned white)
Blackout contains inverted apps by B-boy, Team Blackout and the bear j koss
Xparent contains apps turned transparent by B-boy and Team Blackout
Each pack contains it's version of:
AOSP Email
AOSP Messaging
Dropbox
Flipboard (Xparent uses Inverted version)
Gmail
Google Maps (Xparent uses Inverted version)
Google Play Services (Xparent uses Inverted version)
Google Play Store
Google Plus
Google Talk (Xparent uses Inverted version)
Touchwiz Music Player
In order for the packs to work the apps must be located in your system/app folder and the names must match. I insured a couple versions of each using commonly used names by Rom devs but pleat check beforehand.
Capitalization is important as well
Download your choice
Reboot into recovery
Mount System
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Install App Pack
Be Patient
Reboot and Enjoy
Names need to match the below
Dropbox.apk
Flipboard.apk
Email.apk
Gmail.apk
Gmail2.apk
GMSCore.apk
GMS_Maps.apk
GoogleMusic.apk
GooglePlus.apk
Maps.apk
Music2.apk
MusicPlayer.apk
Mms.apk
Phonesky.apk
PlusOne.apk
Talk.apk
Talk2.apk
Enjoy!

OK... Not sure what the issue is... Just clear data for Google now and uninstall via TiBU if the voice search is not working for you... I'm gonna pull the packs and take out Google now till I figure out the issue... Sorry for the trouble
App packs are back up minus Google now

Just saw your update... Make sure the names in your system app match one of the names in the op before flashing... Also double check the apps that didn't theme by going into settings/applications.... If you select one and it says Uninstall updates then you need to do that in order to see the themed versions... All the apps in the pack should be up to date so you should be good
BTW these apps need to be in the system/app folder to get themed...

hey, can't have everybody's stuff in one. for all i know you could've asked and he said no. lol didn't know if you had seen any of his stuff. just tossing his name up here for other options. it's great that we have so many great devs with awesome work to choose from.
Thank you very much! It is always great to have droiders like my work. I like blue wayyyy to much to leave anything just black and white lol,,,but that may not appeal to the masses. I always love to see more themers active here, it helps keep the GS3 alive, keep it comin!

Delete. Read op too quick and my answer was right there
Hoping to have an update out tomorrow with updated Google plus, transparent aosp and transparent stock music player
1) Only thing that seemed to stick after the twrp flash was mms - which I personally like the most out of the themed mms's I've used - and gtalk. And I didn't have have gtalk installed before this. Did I need to delete the apps that this pack would be replacing before flashing in recovery??
2) Also, I avoid anything but face to face communication with my friends who have iphones and are so brilliant with their ability to jailbreak - done it for people before but just look at security setting on any android and check 'Unknown Sources' and boom....'jailbroken', why don't you try to unlock the bootloader or port HTC beats to any device or REALLY overclock a device........but I digress - when I do have to actually msg these people they love to do group msg's! Does this messenger have the same problem as most AOSP messenger with viewing cross platform group messagers??

This doesn't replace any apps that you don't already have and it doesn't add any new ones. You probably have other versions of the apps in your data/app folder. Even if the newer version is in your system/app, the phone will read the one from the data/app folder because it this it is gonna be newer...
For the apps that didn't appear to theme, you should go into settings/applications and find those apps... most likely it will have the option to uninstall updates... After you do that, the themed versions will appear...
If it only says Uninstall then that means the apps aren't on the system and that's why they didn't get themed
As for MMS.... yes any bugs that other aosp MMS may have, this will probably have them as well... this uses the aosp by sparkerjc which is also used in beans rom and I think MOAR Rom as well
Links will be down for a bit... Uploading update
Updated App Packs are up
Updated Play Store
Updated Google Plus
Added Transparent AOSP MMS
Added Touchwiz Music Player to all 3 packs
Can you add the calendar next time around. or link me to a zip to inverted calendar.

[APPS/LIBS/FONTS/WALLPAPERS][FAQ]4.4 KitKat Apps (Google Nexus 5)

I have seen several threads related to this subject, however most of them just have files and no explanation about issues and how to solve them in a single OP. This is the only reason why I'm posting this. Anyway, on to the good stuff.
All necessary files with all the most likely questions answered can be downloaded
HERE - MD5: 0A0FB2CF5CB7487BFF40E1EC52D58335
All wallpapers can be found
HERE
List of included files:
Apps:
Books.apk - Google Play Books
CalendarGoogle.apk - Google Calendar

EmailGoogle.apk - Google Email (NOT GMAIL)
Exchange2Google.apk - Exchange Services (Adds Exchange support to Email app)

PrebuiltGmsCore.apk - Google Services 4 (Required for several apps to work)
QuickOffice.apk - Google Quick Office
Street.apk - Google Street View for Maps
Velvet.apk - Google Search/Google Now​
Libs:
libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so - Required for Google Now / Google Search
libjni_filtershow_filters.so - Required for Google Camera
libjni_mosaic.so - Required for Google Camera
liblightcycle.so - Required for Google Camera
libvideochat_jni.so - Required for Hangouts
libchromeview.so - Required for Chrome​
F.A.Q.​
0.1 Before replacing/modifying/deleting/uninstalling anything, I strongly advise that you make a backup of the original should anything go wrong. You have been warned!
0.2 This is not a Recovery Zip, it's meant for you to get only what you need. All you need is ROOT.
1. Something is not working / It keeps telling me that I have to update Google Play Services:
This means that you haven't installed PrebuiltGmsCore.apk that's included in this package. It's a newer version of Google Play Services that's required for several of the apps to work. I highly recommend installing it before installing anything else.​
2. Google Search / Google Now keeps crashing:
You must copy the following file from the included /system/lib folder to /system/lib in your device:
Code:
libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so
.
Make sure that permissions are set to 644.
You'll need a file explorer app with root features. I personally use File Explorer with the Root Addon as it makes it extra easy to move things around since it has a dual panel feature and also allows you to change permissions.
Also, for the launcher to work properly, you need at least the following installed, in this order:
Code:
Google Play Services - PrebuiltGmsCore.apk
Google Search - Velvet.apk
Google Home - GoogleHome.apk
3. Ok Google Feature doesn't seem to work:
First, make sure you've done all the above steps to ensure that everything else for the Launcher/Google now is working.
Then, from the homescreen:
Menu > Settings > Voice > Offline Speech Recognition > Update if possible or Uninstall and Re-install the English (US) file.​
4. Photosphere is not working in the camera app:
You must copy the following files from the included /system/lib folder to /system/lib in your device:
Code:
libjni_filtershow_filters.so
libjni_mosaic.so
liblightcycle.so
Make sure that permissions are set to 644 on all those files.
You'll need a file explorer app with root features. I personally use File Explorer with the Root Addon as it makes it extra easy to move things around since it has a dual panel feature and also allows you to change permissions.​
5.Google Hangouts force closes when video calling:
You must copy the following file from the included /system/lib folder to /system/lib in your device:
Code:
libvideochat_jni.so
Make sure that permissions are set to 644 on all that file.
You'll need a file explorer app with root features. I personally use File Explorer with the Root Addon as it makes it extra easy to move things around since it has a dual panel feature and also allows you to change permissions.​
6. I cannot install Maps.apk:
You'll have to uninstall your current Maps in order to be able to install the new one. I'm not sure why it is that this is the only app that cannot be updated, but that seems to be the case. I suggest backing up the original APK first with an app such as Titanium Backup and then uninstall Maps, also using Titanium Backup. Once uninstalled, proceed to uninstall the new APK and all should be fine. You may have to restart the device after uninstalling the old Maps, though I personally didn't have to.​
7. How do I make the launcher icons smaller?
In order to make them smaller you have to use Xposed Framework + Xposed App Settings to lower the DPI on the launcher.
You can get the latest Xposed Framework HERE. If you don't know what Xposed Framework is, please take a look at this post HERE.
Follow the instructions in the link above to get Xposed Framework installed. Once everything is done, open Xposed Framework go to Downloads and install App Settings.
After done installing, go back to Xposed Framework > Modules, and enable App Settings.
Reboot your Device.
Once Done rebooting, open App Settings and select Google Seach (the blue icon) Thanks to bakercj for clarifying this one.
Turn it on and change the DPI
400 DPI = 6 icons in the dock and App Drawer Grid 5x6
320 DPI = 7 icons in the dock and App Drawer Grid 6x7
Make sure to tell it to save, and then go back to the home screen. If it didn't take effect, reboot your device.​
8. How do I add more home screens?
Home screens are added automatically when you try to add a widget/shortcut and slide your finger to the right of the screen while holding the new content.​
9. Google Now does not show up when I swipe left on the launcher:
Press menu in the launcher's homescreen > Go to Settings > Enable Google Now.
Look at the screenshots for more guidance.​
10. Google Chrome doesn't work properly:
You must copy the following file from the included /system/lib folder to /system/lib in your device:
Code:
libchromeview.so
Make sure that permissions are set to 644 on all that file.
You'll need a file explorer app with root features. I personally use File Explorer with the Root Addon as it makes it extra easy to move things around since it has a dual panel feature and also allows you to change permissions.​

Any screeny of the calendar widget? Thats the only thing I always found ugly, if they changed the look that is.
Thanks!! Was reading through, I saw that you needed Google search for the launcher, however I didn't see that as one of the apk's, does that mean the current version will suffice?

Not as far as I know, once you change the DPI for the Google Search it will change for everything in the entire launcher, and since the launcher itself doesn't have an option for changing it I don't think it's possible without hacking the app, which is beyond my knowledge.

You must've done something wrong. It's the first time I heard of anything like this happening.
I fixed it by reinstalling my ROM, then installing the Google Framework, then search, then Google Home. After copying the files to system/lib, I changed the permissions to 644.
I changed DPI to 420 and now its perfect, 5 icons in dock,5 icons in drawer

I'm not sure that it's compatible with 4.1, I have tested on my Note 3 which is 4.3 and it works fine.

anyone know how to install it on a nexus device? when installing, it comes into conflict with the current app (dialer) for example.

Really nice! I will try the new Quickoffice, Maps and Camera,
€DIT::: It seems all Apps are designed for devices without external Storage. I cant choose any location to save images or load Office files with Google Cam or Quickoffice, so i uninstalled the Cam. But Quickoffice is quite nice.

Did you copy all three required lib files to your /system/lib and ensured they have Permissions set to 644?

No problem, I was having to go all over the place to get all the stuff, so once I had everything, I figured why not put it all in once place so others don't have to waste a whole lot of time like I did.

I could be wrong, but I thought the first time I launched the Google Camera it told me that an external storage had been found and asked if I wanted to save stuff there. I could be wrong though. You are right about Quick Office though, it only gives you option to load from Google Cloud / Internal Storage.

You should add the video lib to avoid FC in Hangout video chat
After I installed all the apps Play Store keeps crashing, any ideea?
Also I had to move GoogleGallery and GoogleDeskClock to system cause they wouldn't install, and Google's clock keeps crashing when I run it.
EDIT: Nvm, after deleting Phonesky.apk from /system, rebooting and placing it there again, setting the right permisions and rebooting again it is working, but I must say it is odd that one of the apps from this thread made me this problem.
running 4.1.1 here.
"Google search not found" error comes out after launching google home. Any fix for this?
Install again, it works.

Problems with some apps and Google Calendar

Hello, i got some issues with Sub. i Use substratum with andromeda (non rooted) and Oreo 8.0 on my Pixel. Using Baltic UI theme.
I didnt themed any app.
First one is when i use Pushbullet app to transfer files between devices, when i try to open any file transfered to phone liek txt or pdf (besides images) it crashes the app.
Second one is that any application which has access to calendar adds anything to calendar it adds events as Birthdays, and then after 5 second even this birthdays are gone from calendar.
Maybe im wrong and substratum has nothing with it, but please let me know is it possible to substratum crash that apps and causes that problems with calendar?
And additional question, if i want to get rid of substratum themes and apply factory settings should i disable themes and uninstall substratum before or can i go to factory settings besides that? (non rooted installation of substratum)
And also can i update system to 8.1 with installed themes or i should get rid of them before? Thanks in advance for replying.
Sorry if any of these questions were asked before but there is so many topics and post about that so it gets really hard hard to get exact answer.
Thanks in advance!!!

[GUIDE] [ROOT] Stock Android Look for Samsung Experience (TW) ROMs on S7 Flat/Edge

There's always the argument "If you wanted stock Android, why didn't you get yourself a Pixel or another device running stock Android?" We won't go in there. Everyone has a reason.
I'm going to show you how you can make your Samsung Experience ROM look and work like as close to stock Android as possible, without having to flash a broken AOSP ROM. With all due respect to the Developers, let's face it. None of the AOSP ROM's are daily driver material IMHO. You may disagree and that is totally fine.
For this, we're going to need a few apps:
- Magisk
- Google Framework Magisk Module
- Ruthless Pixel Launcher
- Material Notification Shade
- Google Dialer App
- Google Contacts App
- Pixel IP (Icon Pack)
- Pixel Live Wallpaper XDA Thread (Optional)
These are the essential apps. If you want, you can replace most Samsung Apps with Google Apps. This could include the Calendar App, Clock App and many other Apps Samsung feels the need to duplicate.
1. Root your device with Magisk. This'll install Magisk Manager on your device. There are countless guides on how to do this.
2. Open Magisk Manager, and from the Sidebar, got to Downloads. Here, search for and install the Google Framework Magisk Module.
3. Reboot after the module is installed.
4. Clear cache and data of your Play Store. Alternatively, wait a couple minutes to hours.
5. Now, practically all Google Apps will now be shown as compatible with your Samsung S7 Flat/Edge. But be careful. There are reasons why some apps are not compatible.
6. Search for and install the Google Dialer and Contacts app.
7. Go to Setting>Apps>3 Dot Menu> and set Google Dialer as your default contacts and phone app.
8. Search and install Material Notification Shade. Optionally buy the pro version via IAP.
9. Go to Settings>Themes And Wallpapers.
10. Search, install and apply "Pixel" Theme by "MINU".
11. Install Ruthless Pixel Launcher.
This should do it now. I hope you're gonna enjoy it as much as I do.
