[Rom Add-On] Clean & Stable Add-On For All Stock Firmware V4[21/07/11][New Market]

[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.

Google Wallet for Verizon Galaxy S3

So I spent a lot of time trying to get this working, and I finally did and I figured I'd share how I did it. It works for me, and a user of Google + confirmed it too. It's pretty simple. Thanks to Dustin Evans on Google+ (https://plus.google.com/u/0/108019745978944993252/posts) and XDA user garner.
first, find your build.prop in /system. Please use Root Explorer, I'm not sure if other file browsers save it correctly. Mount Read/Write and long press on build.prop and hit "Open in text editor".
Change the following lines to look like this:
ro.product.model=SPH-L710
ro.product.name=d2spr
ro.product.device=d2spr
reboot after.
after that head here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965895 and download the wallet apk. (not all the gapps, just the wallet apk). It should work!
Im running cm 10.1 but it also worked on cm 10.
also this is my first post, feedback?
EDIT: I know that there are other posts describing how to do this but I found that they either didn't work for me or involved more complex steps. I'm sharing this because i found it to be easier and completely successful.

You should have used the search function on here. Would have saved you tons of time trying to get it to work. Also you should be able to download the apk from the market once you change these settings inyour build.prop file as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794727

Or you could just use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34896632 and it will change build.prop for you and install wallet!

thanks, but i knew that. i dont think you can just download it, as i did that and it didnt work so well. i know there are other methods, but those are sketchy and involve flashing a new recovery (the all in one installer). this is a more clean way that i got it to work.
just trying to share my experience
also this does not involve flashing anything

Nope, i changed the build.prop file, rebooted and it showed up in the market. Installed it and it works perfectly. The method i mentioned did say you to flash stuff, but that's with the touchwiz based roms. But it also does say pretty much do what you have said as well.

Insufficient privleges
I changed the build prop like shown and was able to download. But when app is ran it states that I have insufficient privileges for this system image. I am just running a rooted image of stock do I need to flash a new rom for it to work?

Yeah that just means you need to flash the Touchwiz libs zip file that's floating around the forums, then Wallet will work. I have the .zip file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lp7qj8odmhobwtu/D2VZW-Wallet-TW-JB-R81.zip

[GUIDE] Enable Download Booster On Verizon - DETAIL INSTRUCTIONS

I basically took the instructions from XDA member "chronicaust" and made them simple with 1 single download link for the service files, and links to all apps needed. People were having trouble understanding the process in the original thread. So I hope this simplifies it and makes it clear for any new people. All I did was reorganize this process and hopefully make it easier for most people. The original instructions were confusing for me... I don't take credit for developing this at all!

Thank YOU!! I couldn't figure out with the other thread, this was simple and easy to follow, just a suggestion, when you mention root system folder, it would probably make it less confusing for others if you mention that it's not the actual folder called "root" under system.

Well not sure what I did wrong. Copied over the the two files into the framework folder. The phone froze and rebooted as expected. It then said optimizing about 400 apps. After that finished it just kept saying "Unfortunately, Verizon Login has stopped.", "NFC Service", "com.android.phone", "Google search", "Pica something..." and several others in an endless loop. :/
EDIT: Downloading the stock Verizon tar... What a pitty. I cannot access anything.

Yeah I changed the permissions for both. (Granted I ended up removing permissions?) The only thing I did that might be different from what you said is copy both files with the permissions already changed at the same time then it froze.

I'm not sure why so many people are obsessed with enabling this feature. People like me who don't have unlimited data don't care to piss it away with "boosting" my download speeds. Plus, I don't really download anything worth needing it anyways but all the power to the rest of you

I followed the steps and after it updated apps. My Wifi Tether notification icon has changed. It shows the USB one instead of the usual radio signal icon. and when I click on the notification, it takes me to the USB and Bluetooth tether screen. Whereas before, it took me right to the WIFI Tether screen.
When I backed up the files to change them back, I realized that I backed up the wrong files.
Stupid me.
Does anyone have the stock JAR and ODEX files? I'd rather have the convenience of tether than download booster.
Thanks in advance.

Also one more question, is there a setting.odex in the framework folder? I think that's what I copied.

I followed all the way up to replacing services.jar and when I do replace it, it says unfortunately (a bunch of apps) has stopped. It causes me to have to do a battery pull, and when I do power it back on, it gets stuck on the Verizon logo screen. I've tried it a few times with both root explorer, efs file explorer, and both files at the same time/services.jar first. Every time I try, I have to restore my rom using safestrap. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Edit: I tried flashing the zip in the main thread and it's working so far without any hiccups.

@waleed300
Can you put a disclaimer on the OP that states that enabling this (if you have native hotspot enabled) will mess with your WiFi Hotspot toggle since it replaces the services.jar? Hotspot still works, but the running notification is incorrect. Just a thought....

If you want to fix it, you have to replace your services.jar with the stock one (this is how I fixed it with the help of Versatile1). And I had a question, when your mobile hotspot running notification was the correct one, clicking the running notification took you to the hotspot options but did long pressing the quicksetting still take you to the USB tether options? Was just wondering.

Download Booster not using LTE?
So I've had Download Booster enabled for a little while after following this post. I've noticed a couple of things:
1. When downloading large files, DB doesn't always appear and when it does appear, LTE is never used.
2. During the download, DB disappears.
I wasn't sure what the reason was for the odd behavior but was curious to see if anybody else has noticed it.

I would make a donation for a 1-click apk solution like towelroot.

[GUIDE] Debloat - How to remove bloatware on AT&T LG G3 - ROOT REQUIRED

HOW TO REMOVE BLOATWARE
Step 1. Root your phone using one of the two methods listed here
ROOT YOUR LG G3
Step 2. Download and install Root Explorer
Play Store
Step 3. Create the following file structure on your internal or external SD CARD
Main Folder: RemovedApps
Sub Folders in RemovedApps:
APP
PRIV-APP
VENDOR
Sub Folder in RemovedApps/Vendor
APP
This step will give you the following folder structure
RemovedApps/APP
RemovedApps/PRIV-APP
RemovedApps/VENDOR/APP
Step 4: Open Root Explorer and use the firs tab to navigate to root/system/ (NOTE: Root Explorer will ask for SuperSU permissions - make sure to give it permission) and the second tab in Root Explorer to Navigate to your newly created RemovedApps Folder
Step 5. use the following list to cut and paste the listed files from your system folder to the RemovedApps Folder NOTE: remember to copy files to corresponding folders IE system/app to RemovedApps/APP and System/vendor/app to RemovedApps/Vendor/APP NOTE: once you try to cut the system files, Root Explorer will ask if you are sure you want to modify system files - say yes

Step 6: To be safe, copy your RemovedApps folder to your computer for backup
Step 7: Reboot phone
WARNINGS & DISCLAIMERS
Proceed with caution and at your own risk - I am not responsible if your phone self destructs, gets bricked, or melts.
Please keep in mind that both these methods will yield ROOT only - as of know there is no way to unlock bootloader on AT&T
Rooting and any other modifications to your phone will void your warranty - do not root if you do not know what you are doing.
Rooted devices will not be able to receive OTA updates. You may have to unroot and restore stock in order to accept updates.
​

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ:
Q. Why do I need to be rooted to do this?
A. Because you will need access to the root and system folders.
Q. Why De-bloat my phone?
A. The manufacturer and the carrier install a bunch of branded apps that take up space and resources. By uninstalling these apps, you have less background activity, less space used and more resources to use for the apps you do want.
Q. Can I use Titanium Backup to Freeze these apps?
A. Freezing these apps will work, however freezing these apps does not free the space used by these apps.

If I remember correctly, LADDM is something to do with CarrierIQ. I think you shouldn't touch it on any LG AT&T ROM.

There is no issues with removing LADDM.apk - it is CarrierIQ. It will not allow CarrierIQ to work - if you'd like you can also follow the removing CarrierIQ instructions and remove the lib files and disable everything in android tuner to completly get rid of everything. Either way - no adverse reaction to removing it... in fact its better to have one less thing stalking and tracking everything you do with your phone.

Thanks for putting up this how-to. I went ahead and followed the instructions to the "T", and then rebooted. I am a little confused as to why some apps still showed up in my app draw even though they were properly cut and moved to the new folder? I went ahead a tried clearing data for "home" to see if they would show when reloaded, however they still appeared. There were about 5-6 apps including twitter, ISIS, Lookout, and a few more than I forgot the names. I went ahead and manually removed them from the app draw, however I was wondering why they didn't disappear like the others did??
Thanks for your help!

Its probably because you had already updated these apps through the playstore... Just go to playstore and you should be able to uninstall them like any other app.

[MOD][AROMA][2015.09.16]ImproveG3 v1.2

Hi all,
I took a bit of time (and restoring nandroids) to create an AROMA installer script.
It works on 5.0 stock (based) ROMs as well, please test and report back.
What it does:
Debloat your system
- Remove LG apps
- Remove Google Apps (which can be downloaded from Play Store)
- Remove boot/shutdown animations/sounds
- Remove all other UI/Camera/Alarm/Notification/Ringtone sounds - see 2nd post if you need to restore these easily
Install KitKat external SD fix or restore to stock
CPU Thermal Throttling (CTT) Mod by @Robshr
Sharpening Mod by @Skin1980 - see 2nd post if it bootloops
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The script currently is in English and German, more localizations welcome.
Disclaimer:
THIS SCRIPT SHOULD BE SAFE TO USE ON STOCK 4.4, 5.0 AND STOCK BASED CUSTOM ROMS AS WELL, INDEPENDENT OF YOUR DEVICE MODEL.
STILL, USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
ONLY REMOVE APPS YOU DO NOT USE.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE LIKE BOOTLOOPS/BRICKS/HAVING TO FLASH STOCK.

Known (possible) side-effects:
- After removing everything the debloater offers at once, the phone sometimes would not find the mobile network. Turning off and on again Wifi and Data helped
- Sometimes all settings (new profile) or just language get lost. Restore nandroid and try again.
- It is heavily recommended to setup an alternative keyboard and home screen before removing LG Home and LG Keyboard.
- Removing LGInstallService causes "App Updates" to download LG apps, but not install them.
- Removing Update Center causes Settings->About Phone->Update Center to FC, and you have no (direct) way to open App Updates (LG app updater) or Software Update (OTA updates). Removing Update Center, App Updates and Software Update causes Update Center to not even appear and not cause any issues.
- Removing Google Search is said to lead to a bootloop if you factory reset your device (see this thread) - I don't intend on resetting my device, so no idea.

Requirements:
- TWRP recovery
- Stock (based) 4.4/5.0 ROM

Usage:
- Create a nandroid backup
- Download the attached .zip and copy it to the root of your external SD card (/storage/external_SD)

In Case the Sharpening Mod does not work for you ("dirty" boot partition, code security verification error or something like that)
Restore the nandroid Boot backup you did create... didn't you?
If you are using a ROM currently:
- Extract "boot.img" from your ROM zip (should work).
If you are using a custom kernel:
- Extract "boot.img" from the kernel zip (should work).
If you are using stock:
- Download your correct version stock firmware image (KDZ). Extract it using "WindowsLGFirmwareExtract", then extract "boot_xxxxxx.bin" from the resulting .DZ file. Rename it to boot.img. (Guaranteed to work)
For Mac/Linux, there are Python scripts linked around the G3 forums, searching "extract KDZ" or visiting the G3 Index Thread in G3 -> General should help.
Sorry I cannot provide more information for these systems. All commands below should be the same except "adb push /path/to/boot.img /sdcard/boot.img".
Here's a stock 10L kernel for D855 . Extract the zip and rename the .bin file to boot.img.
Connect your phone to pc, open a command prompt, and type everything that is not in ():
Code:
adb push c:\path\to\boot.img /sdcard/boot.img
(copy boot image to internal memory)
adb shell
su
(start a ADB shell and get root permissions)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
(overwrite current boot partition with all zeros - WILL throw an error, don't worry.)
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
(overwrite now empty boot partition with kernel image)
exit
exit
adb reboot
(reboot the device)
This completely wipes your boot partition with 0000's, then fills it up with the kernel image you used before.
Now the Sharpening Mod will work.
If you copy the boot.img to the SD manually, you can execute all commands starting from 'su' up to the second exit in a terminal app on the phone itself as well.
Make sure you don't make any typos, and reboot afterwards!

Safe to remove but have a replacement installed (and better set that to default before debloating).

Unfortunately there currently is no way for me to find out what went wrong on your device.
Hoping for a few more people to test the mod and report back if they encounter the same.
After the installer did its job (Mounting partitions, removing stuff, unmounting partitions), you are offered a "save log" button on the bottom left.
Is there a chance you'd be willing to try once more and then attach the log?
This might help with analysis.

Great work. Is lghome and keyboard also safe to uninstall in case of a factory reset. On the G2 with my debloater removing those together or individually caused a "setup loop".
Going to flag this on the Vs985.

Hi,
no they are NOT factory reset safe.
I will add a note to the "Safe with Alternative" section of the "readme" before the actual module selection, thank you.
Either you can integrate an alternative launcher and keyboard into the ROM (should work, never tried this before), or create a flashable zip just with these two. If you need to factory reset again, just flash the zip (copying home and keyboard to the correct /system/(priv-app)/ folder) and after the initial setup remove them again.
Edit: Oh nearly forgot, another thread (linked to in the OP) states that moving Google Search to userspace (or deleting it) and then factory resetting the device would lead to some loop (dunno if Boot, Setup or whatever) as well. That is why it's in the "Potentially dangerous" section until I had time (and interest to restore an old backup...) to actually test.

As I said, I moved the app to userspace, so my Titanium says "APK path: /data/appcom.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk" - no Velvet to be seen.
I saw Velvet.apk in the unpacked system image, but could not find out what it is/does.
Will add it to the script right away
Not sure if one should remove it though, might be needed by the LG initial setup wizard, could be that the wizard loops without Google.
