[Xposed][HACK] Workaround for Netflix on CM10.1 - All Exynos4 devices

This is an Xposed module (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 for more on Xposed) that allows Netflix to work on CM10.1 on Exynos4 devices.
Source code is at https://github.com/Entropy512/XposedNetflixWorkaround - Use the Android Developer Tools Eclipse package to build it
To install:
Install the Xposed Installer APK from the thread linked above
Install the Xposed framework using Xposed Installer
Install the APK linked in this post
Reboot your device after enabling the module in Xposed Installer
Enjoy Netflix

How does this work?
For whatever reason, Netflix uses its own player, called JPlayer, if it detects that it is running on Android 4.2. For whatever reason, JPlayer does NOT like the current video subsystem in CM10.1 on Exynos4 devices.
What this module does is make Netflix always think that it is running on ICS, which will make it use what appears to be the system OMX player. (I'm not entirely sure of this, but I am sure that it is NOT JPlayer and it DOES work on all of my devices I've tested).
This is an interim workaround/hack until the root cause of JPlayer failing on Exynos4 devices can be determined. (Edit: From talking with a few people, JPlayer is replacing a number of components of Android's playback framework. This includes components that have been altered for Exynos4 compatibility.)
DO NOT REPORT THIS ISSUE IN CYANOGENMOD JIRA. No affected devices are receiving M or stable builds and this is one of the many reasons.

I'm having issues installing Xposed - after I install the apk and hit the install button, it throws the error "cannot read /data/xposed/modules.whitelist".

Netflix still a no go for me!

Could you try this installer instead? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36436643#post36436643
It's a known problem for some ROMs which fail to update /data/system/packages.list.

Andrew, version 1.8.1 of Netflix works on Exynos4 + Jelly Bean. I'm not sure if it's the last known working version but it's an alternative; I took a stab and downloaded the version I thought might be at/around the last Netflix update for ICS.
Edit: arcee indicated that 2.1.1 will work in tomorrow's build, not sure if specific to Odroid only.

He took a different approach to killing JPlayer:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/916bbf03847ef5e3b5264bbbeac6c30399281520
So this Xposed mod may become obsolete...
There's no clean way to do this. Either there is app-specific **** in the device tree that is difficult for users to remove if it ever gets derpy, or users have to actively search for a workaround such as this one.

Latest working version is 2.0.1, the APK is linked below. It is the last version before they have introduced the newest controls. Works just fine on S2 with CM 10.1.

This is the easiest solution for the problem right now. Don't update from Market, but that is I guess quite obvious.

The Xposed solution allows you to update and install from the Market with no issues.
Arcee's "patch the configuration XML file" approach also works.

Dependent on the device maintainer I'm sure. My Odroid U2 has a fix merged in last night's nightly. YMMV.

I'm considering using arcee's approach... I really dislike having app-specific **** in the device tree though...
I can't figure out why people are having issues installing Xposed - it has installed flawlessly on every CM10.1 device I've tried. The fact that it may fail on certain manufacturer-customized firmwares isn't relevant here as this hack is specific to CM10.1
The only thing I can think of might be that Superuser prompts aren't quite working right on some people's devices.
As to eventually including Xposed in CM itself - It is something I would love to see, however as a device maintainer, it's "above my pay grade". Including it directly in CM would require careful consideration and analysis by the project leads.

I'm working on a flashable zip that drops a script in init.d to get the job done. The script is based on https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/916bbf03847ef5e3b5264bbbeac6c30399281520 although I had to tweak it a little to get it to work. I can share it once it is finished, if anyone is interested. It will also copy a script to addon.d so that as I update cm10.1, the hack will be persistent.

[ROM-Nook HD-EMMC] [CM10.1] OaT_LnT[16July2013]

Background
This is a very light and tweaked version of CM10.1 along with a lightened and tweaked version of GApps. If you are familiar with my original HP TouchPad Light-n-Tasty (LnT) releases, you know what to expect, although as of late I am going even further. For example, I am not including the CM Browser or Calendar apps in the ROM as IMO there are much better 3rd party ones available in Google Play, generally for free. (I do encourage you to support the developer via a paid app if that is available.) The standard GApps should be able to be used with the ROM, if so desired. Updates to the ROM and GApps will be made as significant changes occur, or if I get bored :silly: and want to flash something new .
Flashing
Personally, coming from LnT_CM10.1-EMMC, I just dirty flash over it with no problems. If you are coming from another ROM, it is highly recommended that you do a full set of wipes before flashing the ROM. It is also recommended that GApps be concurrently flashed with the ROM.
Issues
The issues with LnT are the same as with other CM10.1-EMMC releases.
Acknowledgements
I would personally like to thank verygreen, whose device tree this build is based on. Of course, I am also indebted to the many others who make generic contributions to CM, and of course to Google and AOSP for providing open source, which without none of this could be accomplished.

As you can see, I personally go for that 'picture window' look on my home screen.

Nook System Add Ons
Find your system add ons to LnT here. They need to be placed in the system/apps directory, followed by setting the permissions appropriately using a file explorer allowing root access (e.g. Total Commander), and then rebooting your Nook. Since I don't use these I really can't verify if they work. Finally, if you are aware of a newer version, notify me and I will update here asap.

Hello O.a.T,
Always loved your HP TP roms. Hopefully you will also build one for the HD+.

excellent.

do you havethe stock browser apk so i can give this a a shot? i like the stock browser lol

Welcome O.a.T., good to see you here.
I have the HD+ but always good to see more development in general for this device. I know you'll do some good stuff here and it's a huge plus to have someone like verygreen for the device tree.

Sorry 'bout that. I was doing some reorganizing and forgot to update the link here. Will be updated shortly.
As an aside, I'll try to update the ROM by the weekend so everybody can have the latest and greatest, although most of the action seems to be going on with CM10.2

[Q] Where to get original Cyanogenmod APKs that work for stock Nexus 5 firmware?

I'm currently using stock Nexus 5 firmware but would like to have some of Cyanogenmod apps too .
Like cLock widget, file manager, torch, sound recorder.
I'd like to get them from official Cyanogenmod website as I don't trust APK files distributed by third parties.
However when I extract APKs from latest Cyanogenmod M release for Nexus 5 (currently cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead.zip) some of them forceclose on start .
So I extracted the apps I need from latest stable release for Nexus 4 (cm-10.2.1-mako.zip) and they seem to work fine.
But is there a way to make APKs from Nexus 5 Cyanogenmod releases work on stock Nexus 5 firmware?
Are APKs in Nexus 5 Cyanogenmod builds any different from APKs included in Cyanogenmod builds for other phone models? Or there is some kind of 'standard' Cyanogenmod APK set which is afterwards 'tuned' for each phone model?

Some may require libs or framework. For those that only require lib files, simply open the .apk in question on your PC using WinRAR or the equivalent (it is technically a renamed .zip file)
If it has a lib folder or any files ending in .so more likely than not, you'll need to move those files to system/lib before the app in question will function properly.

There's also CM Apps available in the playstore, no guarantee they'll work. But I think they've been optimised to work on any firmware as I've never had any issues with them.

Thanks for quick replys!
I guess the apps indeed need some custom CM libraries. I may try this after checking out official Lollipop firmware, not going to root untill then.
And yes, APKs from 'CM Apps' work well (app itself broke but APKs are still on autohor's website). I'm interested where did the author get them. Just by trial & error from builds on CM website or not.

They work on your ROM because your ROM has CM stuff in it. Most of them won't work at all on actual full AOSP ROMs without them, like PA.
He probably just downloaded the ROM zips and took the apk files out.

[APP][5.0.2][IR]LG QuickRemote for AOSP [1-13-15]

This zip installs the QuickRemote app and enables the IR blaster to work on AOSP Lollipop ROMs for the LG G3 (and G2). Not every device or rom has been tested, so flash at your own risk.
Credits go to @sefnap for the original G2 port, @RieGo for the original scripts, and @zzeneg for updating to the G3 versions.
WORKAROUND DETAILS:
The default SELinux policy for android was changed to enforcing mode in Lollipop to increase security. This restricts the functionality of some apps, so for QuickRemote to work we have to change the SELinux policy back to permissive mode until we have a better solution.
This zip installs an init.d script which runs at boot and sets the SELinux policy, as well as other permissions. It will also create the file /sdcard/QRemote.log, which records the SELinux policy at startup.
INSTRUCTIONS:
--Make a backup (or at least download the uninstall)
--Install the latest SuperSU (highly recommended)
--Wipe dalvik/cache (just in case)
--Flash zip in recovery (TWRP or PhilZ)
--Reboot--
--It may take a moment for device manufacturers to load, so be patient.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
First, make sure init.d is enabled:
-Check for /sdcard/QRemote.log. If the file isn't there, the init.d script did not run.
---Enable init.d support with this app
-If it still isn't working after enabling init.d and rebooting, verify that SELinux was set to permissive at boot in QRemote.log
---Try this app to set the SELinux policy instead.​If the QuickRemote app force closes when you open it:
-Make sure QuicksetSDK is installed. It won't be in the app drawer, so check Setting->Apps->All
-Clear QuicksetSDK data, delete /sdcard/Quickset Setup, reboot​
Thanks to everyone in this thread for helping figure this thing out!​

Working perfect on liquid smooth rom, thanks for posting this!

Thanks so much for posting this. Not being able to use Smart IR on AOSP has been killing me. I absolutely hate my LG TV remote. Will be testing on Beanstalk this evening.

confirm working for d855 on cm11... thanks

Any chance of a working QuickCircle port for AOSP?
It's the only thing that's holding me back from installing CM11. I refuse to give up on this case since I paid so much money for it god damn it

KitKat Art, and Lollipop Art, are two different creatures. I'd think that a port of the Lollipop version of this remote from the g3 leaks should work.

Well, if it wouldn't, it wouldn't be a port, am I right?
I tried flashing it on Lollipop and using a different remote App and that didn't work either, even though the App recognized that the G3 has an IR-Blaster.

Guys, if you use a custom rom like CM12, you can make the flashable zip to work by doing the following.
First flash it normally, then grab from XDA the LGs lollipop version of QuicksetSDK, I think there should be a lollipop version, but I copied it from Android HD rom. Then replace the KitKat version with lollipop in in the System/app folder, set the correct permissions and voila it works. I have tested it on my Sony TV, it works like a charm. Good thing is that Smart Remote IR also works if interested to try.

Here's the Quickremote zip with the updated QuicksetSDK (For CM12!):

I hope you don't mind me uploading this here @zzeneg, all credits are going to you! If you want me to, I'll take it offline immediately.
I think it should work on any 5.0 AOSP-Rom.
For some reason my IR-Blaster isn't working, the app launches, but the IR-Blaster just doesn't work.

[App] [5.0+] CM12.1 Gallery Apk (1.1 update!)

Cyanogenmod 12.1 / AOSP Gallery app for any Lollipop device!
This is the CyanogenMod 12.1 Gallery2.apk with Material Design compiled directly from CM sources.
Installation:
Just download and install the apk.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all ROMs Android 5.0+. (tested on Xperia Z Ultra running 5.1 GPe port and Nexus 5 running BoostPop and ParanoidAndroid)
Does not require root.
I would really appreciate it if you could report in the comments whether the app works on your device.
Why would you need this?
AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod and Euphoria OS: already included, will only overwrite the preinstalled version.
Google stock ROMs (Nexus and GPe): not included, feel feel to try.
Other OEM ROMs like TouchWiz: not included, feel free to try.
Other minimalistic ROMs (like BoostPop) that don't bundle the AOSP Gallery: not included, feel free to try.
Screenshots
Credits
I take zero credit for this apk. I did not write the code - I merely compiled it from CM's source with integrated libraries. All credit goes to the Android Open Source Project and CyanogenMod.
Since I did not actually write the code, I might not be able to solve any of your issues with it.
Download
No mirrors please!

Changelog
Feb 10, 2015 - Version 1.0
Added libs to enable image editing features.
Jul 26, 2015 - Version 1.1
Updated to CM12.1 sources.
Updated translations.

For now only few devices have lollipop but starting this month sony will begin update and others too
anyway goodjob

Reserved. For when my Note 3 with a Snapdragon finally licks Lollipop.

Thank you ! That's what I've been looking for!

Could it be possible that you manage to get the cm12 sms app? I can't root my phone so I can't install the app pulled directly from the rom.zip :/ thanks.

Well, can anyone mod the app to have both Vertical scroll and Horizontal scroll. People prefer vertical over horizontal. Like the 'Vertical Gallery' in play store has that option, but it is not material design yet.

Working fine on Galaxy note 3 stock rooted.

Copied to system/app and set permissions to 0644, but when I attempt to edit an image it force closes.
I imagine this is due to missing lib's, although I do see that they are included in the apk, any ideas?

The easiest easy is to just install the apk instead of dropping it in /system/app. The apk has been packaged in a way so that the libs get installed automatically.
