This is a project I was working on about a month or two ago but put on the back burner because I got mad at it. It is a port from the EVO 4G found here. It was originally Designed and Developed by Provision Team. http://www.provisionmod.com/about
I used JellyBelly as my base for this and it includes Strapped365's Linaro o3 Optimized kernel.
Features:
Cool notifications panel with customizable quick settings
GApps baked in
a2sd (See instructions below)
SuperSU
Seeder.apk v2.0
Apollo
Choice of Apex or Trebuchet launchers. (I prefer Apex)
And much more...
What works:
Almost everything!
Issues:
No 4g
Bluetooth works for some and not for others
I can't figure out how to get the weather to work FIXED!!!
Navigation bar in Provision customizing doesn't work
Camcorder is broken
Sometimes the notification bar doesn't want to come down properly. So go into apex settings/Behavior settings. There you can use the swipe gesture of choice to show the notifications.
Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk!
*It is important to note that there may be additional issues I don't know about and as I am a truck driver, not a programmer I may or may not be able to fix things.
Everyone is encouraged to do whatever you like with anything I post.
Instructions:
Download ROM to the root of your sd card
Boot into recovery. (I use CWM)
Wipe dalvik cache, system and data/factory reset 3x each
Install ROM from sd card
Reboot system
Downloads:
Android File Host
A2SD: (DO NOT FLASH UNLESS YOU HAVE AN SD-EXT PARTITION)
http://d-h.st/kTT- Thanks CRIME INC. and jmztaylor
A2SD INSTRUCTIONS: Thanks drob311 and Halrulez!!!!
1. Get a properly formatted sd-ext partition. (Do not move on until you have done this.)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Wipe dalvik cache and cache 3x
3. Go into Mounts & Storage
4. Mount cache, data, sd-ext, sdcard and system
5. Flash DarkTremor's a2sd zip (above)
6. Reboot
7. After reboot, go into terminal
8. Type-> su -> hit enter->hit "allow" when SuperSU prompts you
9. Type-> a2sd reinstall-> hit enter
10. Wait until it reboots. If this doesn't work, start over at step 1 and do it again.
11. To make sure it worked, go into Titanium Backup. If there is an a2sd partition at the bottom it worked.
Change log:

Some more screenshots. I included 2 sense themes.

this looks great, thanks. as for the weather, i noticed a while ago (several months ago actually) that weather stopped working on all of the cm ports for us. i thought it was just something i borked in my phone or me not using gps and wifi location in google settings. i havent gotten around to it but now that google has its own settings app try adjusting the location settings in that instead of the rom.

I've been thinking the problem has to do with the web address the weather information comes from. All the google settings does is link to the ROM's gps settings...

Looks great bro, my power button is starting to go, so I will try and flash this before it does.

yeah i wasnt sure. i havent decompiled a rom in ages and the last rom i used that had working weather in it was aokp.

Cool, I just figured out how to get a2sd to work on this!

Really Neat! I've always loved you and Ryans work. Hopefully they can make a 4.2.2 version of this rom and then I can use it =)

installed last night, excellent ROM. gonna fiddle with it throughout the day. i did notice last night though that when adding/removing toggles it fc's the systemui. tried rebooting it to see if itd help but it didnt. had to set it back to defaults and reboot to fix the systemui.
sorry, no logs since i removed all dev stuffs from my laptop a while back

I noticed the same thing earlier when I was first messing with it but at the time I thought the ROM was just resetting the systemUI.apk because it came right back on for me. This morning I changed a few toggles again but the systemUI didn't reset. Maybe after things have settled in that won't happen anymore.

well i messed with the toggles some more this morning and it seemed to be ok as long as you dont fiddle with more than 2 at a time. do 2 and let it save then do more, etc..
odd bug but systemui isnt crashing anymore.

Thats the only bug I've noticed so far too. Bluetooth worked perfectly for me.

That's cool! The problem I have with bluetooth may be related more to my headset. I've had a lot of trouble with it not working on several ROMs.

Arggg.... If you are viewing the toggles when you dismiss the dropdown then it becomes a pain to open your notifications again. It acts like it loses focus as soon as the toggles become visible and it closes. If you make sure to tap back to the notifications view before you dismiss it though then there is no problem

Guys, I am unable to duplicate what you're talking about with the toggles. If I close the notification bar while the toggles are showing, when I reopen it they are still there but all I have to do is hit the button just to the left and it shows the notifications fine. In face I've tried this with just a few turned on and with all of the toggles on and its the same thing. I wonder why they work ok for me and not for others?
Edit: There is an option in apex settings/Behavior settings that you can set so when you use the swipe gesture of choice, it'll show the notifications. Maybe this can help...

i think you misunderstood. yes, the toggles are still there but the drop down is more of a pain in the a$$ when you close it on toggles instead of notifications.

HeadsUp notifications bug

Hey guys.
When I receive a notification and it pops up as a headsup notification I can't press it or pull down the notification bar. The only thing I can do is swipe it away.
By HeadsUp notifications I mean the new notification card that appears when in full screen.

I don't think there is a quick fix , if there is i don't know what it is. What i can tell you it affected me, the app would work but it would freeze the top of my screen, just under the status bar and the only temp. fix would be reboot the phone, but the problem comes back . Only thing i would suggest, is don't use the app till the developer updates the app and has the problem fixed . If you don't want to wait , you can keep restarting your phone , every time the bug happens , which is annoying

But for me the problem isn't just in a specific app. It's system-wide I think.
For example when the low battery warning pops up I can't even press the button to turn on battery saver.

yes the freeze at the top of the screen , is there all the time , which the headsup app is causing part of your top screen to not be responsive to touch. Try turning the headsup app off , stop it , don't have it running. Once the app is no longer running and is off , reboot your device , then see if the problem comes back or not. ** Don't use the app at all once you reboot **

ya that is a bug with headsup app , turn the headsup app off , dont uset it . That is whats causing you to not able to press the card . Don't use the headsup app no more , wait till it updates , then try it again

In having the same issue, can't action the notifications, just swipe them away

Lol. This thread is hilarious. There is no "heads up app". My heads up notifications work fine. How did you install 5.0? I installed via fastboot, flashing the images one at a time, while rebooting the bootloader in between each image. I have none of the problems all these people in different threads are complaining about. Everything works perfectly, battery life is greatly improved from kitkat, no issues. Reinstall that way, cleanly, erase everything first, bootloader, radio, system, cache, userdata, boot, everything. Then install all the new images. The Google script for 5.0 is buggy, and these dirty installs are giving people problems.

I too, have this problem, and I did a clean install using the Nexus root toolkit.
This problem disappears after I do a reboot, and resurfaces when I get a message from either hangouts or messenger (so far). This bug doesn't appear even after I repeatedly call myself (because I still can decline or accept the call), but only appears when I get a heads up notification of messenger or hangouts.
Anybody manage to solve it yet?

I've got the same issue. Very frustrating, doesn't work even after reboot .I also started with a clean install via factory Image

Is there any pattern to it? Like I mentioned in my post, this problem only seems to pop up once I get notifications from Hangouts or Messenger. Calls seem to be fine (after a reboot).

I can assure that same bug presists on nexus 4. Flashed everything cleanly.

I have this issue too. Its incredibly annoying! Anyone found a fix? I installed using nexus root toolkit

It seems all of you with this problem have installed using a toolkit. Try a clean install, erase everything, using fastboot. And stop using toolkits, and wondering why you have problems and bugs.

Nova won't stay as default launcher

Ok, so i got my new Idol 3 and everything is great except I can't keep Nova Launcher as default. If i re-start the phone it goes back to the OneTouch launcher. Tried re-installing Nova and using Default App Manager from the store but nothing survives a re-start. Ideas appreciated

Did you go into Settings -> Home and select nova as default? Or did you just set it as default through the little prompt that pops up when you press the home button after installing Nova?
Also, I would try installing a third launcher along side stock and Nova and toggling between the 3 in your Settings -> Home and deleting the 3rd launcher. I don't know if it will help but it's something I would probably do. I have Nova installed with no issues though.
---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------
Also, try uninstalling nova and then wiping your cache partition via the recovery menu. Let me know if you don't know how to do that.
Then reinstall Nova.

Thanks for reply, yes I set it in both nova and the main settings>home screens
Will try the 3rd launcher idea.
Not sure how to do the last part wiping the cache partition. Would i need to setup all my apps again after?

No, wiping your cache will not delete your apps or photos and so on. It will just delete some temporary files and clean up some memory on your phone. To do it:
Turn your phone completely off
Hold down the power button and volume up button at the same time until the Alcatel logo pops up on your screen
Release the power button but keep pressing volume up
You will see a menu asking you to select a language... Scroll up and down using volume buttons and highlight your language
Select the language by pressing the power button
Scroll down using volume buttons to Wipe Cache and select using the power button
After its wiped select reboot system or hold power button until phone resets
Note: The factory reset option will delete everything on your phone and return it to its original state. You may opt to do that later if wiping cache doesn't work.
Report back if this works or not.

Installed Apex and set it as default - this also didn't survive a re-start. Deleted it and chose Nova again but still the problem persists.

Hmm. I'm trying to think of what I would do next.
Maybe go into to Settings -> Apps and swipe left until you get to the All tab.
Find the stock launcher and select it and clear data and cache and if clear defaults is an option clear that too.

ok, I wiped the cache partition, but no luck, still re-starts in onelauncher.

Third party launcher
I have the same problem and reffered to it on another thread, I've contacted Alcatel service and they said it was not a bug it just works that way...bulls...t answer...

Hello
Same problem here, but on every devices. The only solution for now is to uninstall default launcher but root is needed...

This could be happening because you have installed some third party app that is messing with your launcher defaults. I have never had this problems with any of my Android devices before - but you might want to check this post - and see if the suggestion there helps

I hope your proposed cause is correct as I have not had an issue on my 6045i with nova staying the default launcher. I would propose that those having the issue take a full backup then do a factory reset and only install nova launcher...then check to see if it stays...they can then install their apps till they find the one that breaks it....occasional backups could be taken so they don't have to restart from scratch each time. Titanium Backup could also help to restore the apps.

thanks everyone for your suggestions, will take another look when i have some free time

My phone came with alcatels launcher and a lot of bloatware apps games like cars and other ****. And I couldn't get nova launcher stay as default after restart. I was able to freeze default launching by rooting and using titanium backup to freeze alcatels launcher.

I was going to suggest freezing the Alcatel launcher with Titanium Backup, but feared that doing so might risk creating more problems than it solves. I'm glad to hear that it doesn't.
Not being able to change the launcher is a big enough issue for me that I'd return the phone over it if there's no viable workaround. But I switched launchers within an hour of getting the phone, before I rooted, IIRC, and never had any problems getting the third party launcher to stick as the default, then or now.

The app is great, but doesn't work well on my xiaomi Mi8 Lock screen. Works only in home screen. (Miui global 10.2)

Thanks for the support - I've been looking into getting certain features to work with different manufacturers. I'm leading to believe mfc like XiaoMi and HuaWei use different lockscreen frameworks that cause the AOSP wallpaper flags to fail. Hopefully in the near future I'll find a solution.

Hey OP great work! ?
One suggestion I have for improvement is to have night mode feature where it only takes dark images at a specific time interval.

Good idea, I'll see if I can add something similar. I forgot about 500 Firepaper, Chainfire did a really nice job with unique features

One more request : Can you please add option to manually change to a new wallpaper using some finger swipe gesture?

Possible BAD Bug.
Pixel 3XL here, not unlocked and not rooted...just pure android with Feb Patch.
Downloaded and installed. Let it change my wallpaper a few times. Then hit change once but then hit the home key during the change....I guess it was going through the process of changing the wallpaper as my wallpaper went from a graphic to black...and then the whole screen on my Pixel is black. Nothing. Reboot, google boot screen shows...then bam, BLACK screen. You can tell it thinks it's displaying a screen (lock screen, unlock with fingerprint gives haptic, etc) but it's all black, no words graphics nothing. Rebooted into Safe Mode....still solid black but says "Safe Mode" in the lower left corner. Eventually just had to factory reset via Recovery and phone is working perfectly fine now.
Not saying it was your app, but yours was the only thing I had downloaded in over a week....and I was literally using it when it happened. Still though, love the app!

Damn I had heard of this with another wallpaper app but this is a first with mine. My deepest apologies if you lost any data. I'm putting this first priority to make sure it doesn't happen again.
My guess is SystemUI ran out of memory and crashed, and sometimes it takes up to 20-30 seconds for that service to get restarted - hence the black screen and device still responding to the fingerprint.
I'm going to PM you so we can try and figure out more of the details.

I had the EXACT same issue on my OnePlus 6. I had to do a factory reset as well. Lost some data that I hadn't backed up in the process.
 @chibichuba

@nightfireblaze8
I have sent you a PM with a few questions, hopefully we can figure this out. I've also opened a ticket with Google, I believe this to be an issue with a native Android library
@LiquidHonesty
PMs are disabled on XDA for you, is there another way I can reach you?

Damn I had heard of this with another wallpaper app but this is a first with mine. My deepest apologies if you lost any data. I'm putting this first priority to make sure it doesn't happen again.
My guess is SystemUI ran out of memory and crashed, and sometimes it takes up to 20-30 seconds for that service to get restarted - hence the black screen and device still responding to the fingerprint.
I'm going to PM you so we can try and figure out more of the details.

No worries, I had a fairly new backup but lost about the last month's SMS even though it claimed I was backed up. LOL no biggie.

Possible BAD Bug.
Pixel 3XL here, not unlocked and not rooted...just pure android with Feb Patch.
Downloaded and installed. Let it change my wallpaper a few times. Then hit change once but then hit the home key during the change....I guess it was going through the process of changing the wallpaper as my wallpaper went from a graphic to black...and then the whole screen on my Pixel is black. Nothing. Reboot, google boot screen shows...then bam, BLACK screen. You can tell it thinks it's displaying a screen (lock screen, unlock with fingerprint gives haptic, etc) but it's all black, no words graphics nothing. Rebooted into Safe Mode....still solid black but says "Safe Mode" in the lower left corner. Eventually just had to factory reset via Recovery and phone is working perfectly fine now.
Not saying it was your app, but yours was the only thing I had downloaded in over a week....and I was literally using it when it happened. Still though, love the app!

Same thing happened to my phone last night on Pixel 3 XL . Changed the wallpaper then screen went black and phone rebooted to recovery screen saying " Cant load Android system, your data may be corrupt. Giving me 2 options Reboot or Factory data reset. Rebooted like dozen times even in safe mode but no luck. In the end i had to factory reset and loosing my important data as there was no way to backup.
Not being rude but there is some really bad bug. Other than that the App is really awesome.

I've been researching this issue over the past few days and I've come to the conclusion that this is an issue with Android's SystemUI, specifically with devices that have updated via OTA.
As much as I want to think that I can fix this, I have noticed this issue mentioned in every major theming service and wallpaper app and has to do with how AOSP variants handle SystemUI changes. This app actually doesn't touch any part of device storage or the system partition at all, Android system does all the work and my app just sends the request to do it.
In the meantime I've tried to mitigate any possible causes by limiting maximum image sizes and setting strict resource management for the app.
Changing the wallpaper more often on these OTA-updated devices seems to increase the chances of encountering this issue, but a Google Product Expert gave the advice to use Rescue OTA to prevent having to factory restore, found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz6x7k-VkpUJMlZ1aEliVnhMOHM/view

@nightfireblaze8, @LiquidHonesty, @cheemacool,
Were you guys using the stock Dark Mode/Automatic theming on your devices (for the Settings app, quick settings drawer)? I've been in talks with a Google team member and we're narrowing down similar factors.

Question So many problem with this phone

I bought a pixel 7 pro and I admit that I am really disappointed. The camera it is true is of quality but otherwise many problems for me. The most annoying thing is the total absence of notification from the messaging applications or the SMS application. Otherwise the sound works correctly, general sound, alarm sound and even notification from the google photos application which tells me what I have memories of the past. Today I made the last update hoping that finally my problem would be solved but not at all and instead while it was working previously the applications which are reduced disappear and I no longer have the possibility of close open applications it's as if I had not launched any application, the list is empty. Does anyone have the same problems as me?

If you took the latest OTA, just factory reset the phone. I have none of the problems you are experiencing. I suspect you disabled some settings for notifications. Do yourself a favor and factory restore the phone. It's one of the best phones I have used.

The problem is that I already did a factory reset 2 months ago and it didn't change anything. Believe me, I checked all notification settings and everything is enabled even in the app itself. I just got one from google photos and it's the only app I've seen on AOD since I got the phone. I never had another. it's a really mysterious problem. I know that in the end I will end up doing another factory reset because I don't really see any other solution otherwise I would bring the phone back to the store

Thank you very much it solved my problem about recent apps disappeared

Some settings are also backed up with your Google account so it is possible that maybe done of your notification settings are persisting due to restored backups.

No problems like that on my 7Pro

Was that really the only problem(s) you were having? I guess we have different definitions of "so many". Thanks for the advice, boontje3, it saved OP from this train wreck of a dumpster fire phone

I almost threw my phone in the trash, glad it was fixed.

I think it may be a backup and restore problem but not at the level of the google account settings because while all the notifications are activated at the phone and application level, I don't have any except google photos . If it was a google settings problem (which I haven't changed) it shouldn't prevent messenger or telegram from working normally which is not the case. I suspect the problem is using Samsung smart swith to transfer my data and some apps from my S20+ to the Pixel 7 pro. I will redo a factory reset and reinstall my applications manually. It's true that normally that's what I do but this time for ease I used this application and maybe that's where the problem comes from. if after doing a new factory reset but this time without using smart switch to restore I still have the same problem well I think I will have to turn to a hardware problem or my phone is haunted

Well having a phone that does not receive any notifications even from the basic SMS application is still a serious problem for me. Moreover, this is not the only problem noted. For example I use smart launcher which allows to save the configuration of the launcher. The feature works perfectly on the S20+ but not at all for me with the pixel 7 pro while they are both on Android 13. and during the last update I had to uninstall and reinstall the basic launcher of google because closing recent applications was no longer possible as indicated above by boontje3 which doing this finaly solved the problem

Sounds more like a launcher issue? Action Launcher restored settings for me perfectly just today.

Yes maybe possible but the fact remains that the functionality works on the Samsung not with the Pixel

Just tried Smart Launcher, changed some settings, saved, uninstalled, installed again, restored settings, worked perfectly. So...

So if it works normally for you, that means in the 5 or 6 google system apps that I removed using adb, like Google one or something else (nothing very special and really not much just some crap I don't want ) prevents it from working for me because it still doesn't work. On my S20+ I debloated maybe 50 or more and everything still works perfectly. I specify that the problem with the notifications has nothing to do since it is from the beginning that I have the phone long before I delete these few system app
Your browser is not able to display this video.

So, let me get this straight, you mess with the system software and then you complain that the system does not do what you expect... Ok.
The fact that on your Samsung you removed dozens of apps without a problem only tells me that it's full of really useless crap.

This will help probally, ( They are an AOSP apps, so they can work because they have their own messages prioritet.
