[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..

I never thought to put a warning on low battery. I will add it to the first post. Glad you got it sorted

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

Moved to general as not android development

are you rooted?
it sounds like your launcher program is not working. If this is the case you can try logging into your android market account on your computer and pushing ADW launcher to your ROOTED android phone.
I am not sure if this will work with a galaxy S device, but I had a similar problem with my rooted mytouch 3g. I installed a custom ROM that had an outdated version of launcher pro. Thus no home screen, and almost no way to get to my applications. I went onto android market and pushed the ADW launcher to my phone. It downloaded and installed, and voila, fixed the problem.
You can give it a try.

yes I'm rooted.

curious...
did my suggestion work? The one issue is that your interface will no longer look so much like touchwiz.
You might be able to find that original apk somewhere on xda or somewhere else, and then reinstall it.
ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro are both excellent alternatives to the stock launcher that comes with the phone.

Thanks Man! Here are the Instructions!

Thanks Deckard your idea worked! But TW launcher reinstall was unsucceful...I installed Tag Home Launcher and that went great! I had to:
1. Power off Phone.
2. Press Both "Up" And "Down" + The power Button to get to Recovery Menu.
3. Delete all User Data/ Yes
4. Reboot phone
5. On the Tutorial it showed me a link so i clicked it which opened the browser or one can press the search button and say "go to " google dot com"
6. once browser is open go to "market dot android dot com "or simply go to the market web page or simply google tag home launcher apk
7. install then complete the wizard. it will give you the option to select which launcher to use.
8. Done!
But for some reason i still cant use it.
i have to use the Tag Home. Is there anyway to delete TWLauncher?

[Q] Navigation bar + LMT launcher: one touche 997d

Hello,
I'm new on the forum and I have a qproblem if somebody can help me.
I use dolphin browser, but there is a bug when you watch video in full screen, beetween the progress bar and the navigation bar.
So I tried to use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497558
in order to hide the navigation bar: it's ok: the bar disappeared
But I tried to go back and didn't arrived.
So I installed the LMT launcher (seem to be very cool), but I can't use: "back" and "menu" button; only: home and recent app
I know that LMT need root permission and it's ok.
My phone is rooted and LMT is declared in Superuser.
I don't know what to do. Restore and wipe don't resolve my problem.
Thanks

The easiest way to get your phone back is installing the rom using Alcatel One Touch Upgrade from a pc. Restore and wipe can't solve your problem because (I think) the fullscreen app changes build.prop, which is not restored, since it's s system file. Maybe you could also open the file and try to figure which line is added or changed to get the phone to work in full screen.

thank you, :good:
yesterday I finished to use one touch upgrade and it worked
Now I want to repeat the procedure but I still don't know why the buttons back, menu and search don't work in LMT Launcher.
Although my phone is rooted and superuser authorized LMT.
Any idea?

It's always a good idea to post lmt problems in the lmt thread. I'm not observing all other threads all of the time. To track down the problem I need a logcat from the problem. Use e.g. catlog from the market.

Glad you did it. LMT is great, but I dind't have any problems with it. Maybe it has something to do with the latest firmware version (I tested LMT with the previous one).

[Q][SOLVED] Help! Suddenly stuck in Bootloop (after deinstalling/disabling Launcher)!

Hi there guys,
i have a big problem with my OPO.
First, i explain what i did: I'm using my OPO also in my car, so i set up a home launcher that's "car friendly" (big buttons, big clock, car logo, and so on). To activate this Launcher i use Tasker with root permissions. There's a Tasker-Task-Shortcut on my normal Homescreen, and when i press it, some things are switched off/on (for example GPS is switched on and the brightness is set to high). Also i switch the two Launcher (Default and Nova Launcher) by setting the Package State of the Default one to disabled and the Nova Launcher to enabled. If i want to go back to normal mode i press the Tasker-Task-Shortcut on Nova-Launcher which reverts all settings, including chaning the package states of the launchers again. This worked for years now, but today i activated the car mode and Tasker asked for root permissions. I thought SuperSu made an Update so i need to accept it again, so i gave Tasker root access. After that the Default Launcher was disabled, but the Nova-Launcher wasn't enabled. Then there was an empty screen, i only saw the top Notification Bar and the Soft Buttons (It was possible to use both), but no Launcher was loaded. So i restartet my OPO and now i'm stuck in a Bootloop...
Can someone help me please?? I think a factory reset will fix this, but i dont want to lose all of my apps and settings! What can i do? Is it possible to change the package state trough Fastboot, or through TWRP? Fastboot and the Stock Recovery is working fine, only if i want to start my OPO normally i get a bootloop... Maybe it's possible to install another Launcher via TWRP?
Please help me!!
Greetings,
infernalshade

Install another launcher via desktop play store then when click home button it ask for new launcher

You mean i going to play.google.com, search for another Launcher, press install, and select my OPO? If yes, that wont work, because i cant start my OPO (stuck in boot). So the OPO Play Store cant install that launcher. The only way i can think of is to install an alternate launcher through recovery.
EDIT:
Update, i used TWRP to clear the cache and dalvik_cache and now my phone is starting. Then after the "Configuring Apps" screen it's now stuck on "Starting Apps...".

Phew... fixed it myself... to anyone with the same Problem, here's what i did:
Search for a flashable zip of an alternate Home Launcher, for exmaple "APEX Launcher". Then go to fastboot mode and startup TWRP (i used OPO Toolkit). In TWRP, activate MTP and push the flashable zip to your phone. Then install it trough TWRP and clear cache and dalvik. After that restart your phone and the new Launcher should start. From now on you can switch to your default Launcher again.
Greetings

No navigation gestures after updating to GEN_EU_EEA_A2020G_Pro_V2.3

Hi,
I just updated to the last version GEN_EU_EEA_A2020G_Pro_V2.3 , but strangely , now in Android 10 when I go to the settings it doesn't allow me to change from the classic navigation bar to gestures navigation, I see the option but I can't select it. Does anybody have the same problem ?

Sorry to ask, but how do I install this command? I suppose it can't be done directly via the phone, I need to use an application on my Mac no?

True, if we reboot the device, we need to apply again the command

This is some bull****. ZTE needs to fix this now. Google fixed this Android 10 gesture navigation problem with 3rd party launchers back with the December update. ZTE apparently pushed an old build of Android 10 prior to the gesture navigation fix. Unacceptable!
