[APP] Play Store v3.9.16

I am not sure if any body wants this but I snatched this from the new gapps 10/11/12.
Changes from what I noticed:
-It let's you remove apps you uninstalled and are in the ALL section.
-Now when searching apps and you click an app then back out it remembers your location in the list instead of resetting to the top.
-When you install an app the icon of the app is in the notification drawer
Enjoy
Sent from my rocket that just exploded... Boom!

Just wanted to add that this version of play store is also in the new gapps package
My stock ROM sucks because I'm running orthus 5 on my skyrocket.

[APPS] Flashable 4.4 KitKat Apps - AROMA

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.

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.​

After wiping my device and starting from scratch I have finally confirmed that copying updated libvideochat_jni.so to /system/lib fixes video chat in hangout, therefore I added it to the zip. Make sure not to use any Xposed Module that affects hangouts as I believe that's what caused mine to stop working.

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.

Great job OP!! Thanks for simplifying. Chasing threads=No Fun!!!

hit ThAnKs if I was helpful!!!

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.

[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.

tips: A lot of users are saying that Google is crashing, so I want to say that it works in Google beta only
[url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/18p5OvPdRCVkqhrH4FswiOtACsbREX9bj/view?usp=drivesdk[/URL]

Your instructions are not clear. I have watched the video and I couldn't hear a thing. If you could louder your voice, we would be able to get it. Good work though.

The new UI appears but 1 major issue; Google app crach everytime I want to make a google search by tappimg the bottom search pill on Pixel Launcher. It also crashes inside Google app too.
