install only Market app after CyanogenMod-6 rom

Is it possible to just extract and install Only the Google Market app from the gapps-mdpi-20100816-signed zip file. It does not seem likely to work but I thought I would ask anyway.
It is a real bummer trying to buy apps from developers when you have no access to the apk files. Not to mention the apps I already purchased and now I have to figure out how to contact the dev and get a copy. Should have backed up my individual apps, lesson learned.

Yea I just tried installing Vending.apk and MarketUpdate and they do not work. The market app shows up but fails to launch. This is a serious flaw with this rom unless I am missing something. How is every one putting apps on their phone? For example Evernote or any of the other apps that are only accessible via the market?

I removed the apps I didn't want from the zip and then installed via clockwork.

Thanks for the reply and it was a good idea, unfortunately it did not work for me. I have no idea why. I finally resorted to installing the whole gapps package and that worked. It would be nice to get this figured out.
When I removed various apps from the zip and re-zipped the recovery did not seem to want to install it properly. As a test to see if it was installing I added maps in addition to the market and niether were installed on reboot. I may reflash and try again, It bothers me to have those extra apps hanging around. I think it may be important to have the firstrun stuff (OnetimeInitilizer) on there but I am not sure.
Any more ideas?

Install the gapps package, then remove the apps you don't want via adb. After removing them, clear dalvik cache and that will remove the dex files no longer in use and free up the space.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735255 explains how to remove with adb, if you need the info.

ahh yes, that method works good thanks. I quess wiping the dalvik cache takes the place of the "pm uninstall *.apk /data/system/packages.xml" on 2.2 devices.

[Q] Need ROM advice

Basically I am looking for a ROM that is barebones, No extra crap installed (Facebook, All those lame widgets, etc) and that is good on battery life!
All I use my phone for is, Texting, Calls, Music, Web browsing, Camera and that's it. Google didn't help me very well.
What's the best ROM for that?

Hey just give you heads up and im sure others will most likely reply with the same thing just search for some roms that will give you what your looking for but for and example and anyone correct me if im wrong but CM roms are like barebones.. Or you can simply remove all what you want out of the rom like uninstalling the apps/apks you can use the script thats floating around called ROM Cleaner. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050283&highlight=rom+cleaner
And battery life all depends on kernel for that rom radio&rils etc.. just really all on the user them self.. trust me there is alot of threads with the same idea what you have before this gets locked out.. look around 1st

Ok people here have been asking this same question over and over and over again. What may be awesome to one may be crap to another its all on how you feel about the roms. You need to try out a few for size as far as apps are concerned you can use titanium backup to remove or freeze. Tho we help each other here this is a search and learn sight not a hold my hand and lead me sight. So please search before opening a new thread.
Hmm I think I here Zels footsteps.

My Inspire

One of the most barebones and good battery life ROMS is
BlackICE its based on CyanogenMod it works perfect on
my Inspire 4G, not a single problem in the few weeks I have
used it.

New Mods...please consider closing. We really don't need any more which roms are better type threads.
To everyone else, please just read each Rom description and try them out for yourself. Everyone will like different things.

I'm well aware of search functions and what not, But alot of post I did come across didn't give me much insight for a ROM on my Inspire, Thus why I posted this thread.
Either I did something wrong, Or I misused this forum because as stated, I was unable to find any info on barebones ROMs for my Inspire.
I apologize to have posted yet another "Need ROM advice..." type threads.

What I would suggest is try out a few roms out and get a feel of them but give them about a week of use so you can truly feel them out. Once you find one you truly like or are comfortable with use titanium backup and delete all the apps you want out of it to make it barebone to your liking. But remember dont delete anything that is system critical, if you are unsure of it use titanium backup to freeze app and see if it causes any issues with the phone before you delete it. If it does you can just unfreeze the app. Its a trial and error learning experience we all been there at one time or another. Welcome to XDA and enjoy the learning experience.

I did that with CM7 a while back, Deleted pretty much everything I didn't need.. I uninstalled an app I no longer used (market App) and it bricked my phone for some reason. Right now I have / am trying out Coredriod.
What's a good tutorial or list of system apps (IE: Calculator, Calender, etc) I can delete without bricking my phone?

Your not bricked. Try reflashing the rom but do a full wipe. Go to recovery
1. Wipe factory
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Advance>Wipe dalvik cache
4. Go back
5. Wipe partition (except sd card)
6. Install from sd card
7. Choose zip from sd card
8. flash rom
When you try to flash a rom on top of another ALWAYS do a full wipe NEVER just flash.

If you are still boot-looping.Then you can take the battery out and then go into recovery panel and do full wipe before installing the new ROM.

[Q] 1st time root/rom question -hyperdrive rls15 GS3

Hello all:
This is my first foray into rooting/roming and I am liking it so far.
But now I have a few questions
here are my specs:
Verizon Galaxy S III
Hyperdrive RLS15
TWRP
Titanium backup
busyBox - not sure what this does
So, here are my questions
1)
This whole rom /modding thing is fun as s#!+.
I want to try other ROMs. Is there a way to install a different ROM without having to re-install all of my third party apps all over again?
2)
I like the Hyperdrive ROM but I would like to add and remove some of the features I installed when I loaded the ROM initially.
Is there a way to change my configuration without having to start from the beginning and having to re-install 3rd party apps?
3)
Apparently this ROM has a battery calibrator built in that I can run in terminal.
Can anyone tell me what it actually does
4)
What is BusyBox and why do I need it?
Thanks in advance for all your help and all the work this community does

1. Basically no, the fastest and easiest way to get your apps back is using titanium backup. It's even recommended to not even restore with tb if you switch from touchwiz and AOSP or vise versa.
2. Hyperdrive uses aroma and this is true for any rom running aroma, but to change your features you simply have to reflash the rom. Then while you're in aroma, simply deselect all the features you don't want anymore, but if you forget to mark something you already had it'll go away.
3. Can't help you with this one, try searching the development thread.
4. Busybox is basically a terminal (if you can call it that?) that runs with Linux. It basically gives your phone the ability to run a vast majority of basic commands that would otherwise have to be manually entered into a terminal. It's a stripped down version of a full Linux kit, so it's designed for more stripped down environments such as mobile and tablet devices.

So, do you mean to say that I can back-up and restore only my apps when I either change roms or re-install the current rom?
But if I switch from a TW rom to an AOSP rom then restoring those apps via TB is NOT reccommended?
-- I mean I can back-up and restore all kinds of things, but I can b/u the apps by themselves?
And thanks so much for your reply

You can use alternatives to titanium backup for backing up your apps.

I think titanium is great for backing up apps, and yes, if I'm switching between touchwiz roms or the same rom I'll use titanium to restore user apps with data. But if I went to an AOSP rom I'd only restore the app itself mainly because of the different android versions, most apps such as games should run normally, but restoring data will sometimes cause issues with a rom. You'd have to do a lot of battery stats hunting to get rid of some of them. If you didn't restore data, your system would be pretty clean, and new data would be written for the apps you use as you use them instead of restoring them from a different version.
I would never in any case restore system data, unless I'm reinstalling a clean flash of the same exact rom and build I was on.

If you dirty flash without a factory reset your data will stay intact even after a reflash.
Stuff that's included in system data are contacts, text messages, call logs, etc. I usually never restore that stuff, and just let Google restore my contacts from the cloud.
It generally isn't a good idea, but it shouldn't be a problem going into the same rom. It's up to you whether to do it or not.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

you can restore apps coming from AOSP to TW or vice versa. Ive never had a problem anyway when i used to flip flop back and forth.
I always select user apps and not system apps though.
You can use sms backup and call log backup to restore messages and call logs. theyre great apps.

thanks
thanks everyone for all the advice and tips.

Hi -this is actually in response to a comment on another thread, but I wanted to be sure to reach you and figured if I commented on a thread you initiated you'd get a notification. I just got the S5 mini and it's driving me nuts - I primarily use it to listen to music and it skips/stops the song if I so much as breathe. I cant use it for jogging or even listening while walking, which means it's useless to me. Did you ever find a solution to the sensitivity factor - screen protector, case, etc.........? I may just return it. Even if I twist my hand the tiniest amount it happens, and it doesn't just skip - it turns the song or even the page off completely. I literally haven't been able to listen to one single song all the way through since I got it - even when it is laying down flat. Help!

hey:
weird way to contact me, but it worked.
i never did figure it out. i didn't try a screen protector either, i just hate them.
i just end up being annoyed at the thing.
I hang-up on people with my cheek, i inadvertently open or close apps. i am constantly opening the recent app menu (though i finally found a way to re=map that damn key)... so basically i'm stil unhappy, but i have a year till my contract expires so i'm living with it.
as an aside I somehow changed a setting, disabled my wi-fi, then lost root and can't seem to re-root or enable the wi-fi

[ROM][Stock][Rooted] D850 20f Stock ROM Debloated

Updated: 03/24/2015
Hi all,
I did this mostly for practice but I thought it might be helpful so I went ahead and posted.
Stock LG D850 20f ROM
[*]Rooted/SuperSu
[*]Most bloat removed
[*]Oversharpening fix
[*]Flashable zip
[*]init.d support*
[*]CarrierIQ Remover*
*Init.d support is implemented in ROM only, not the kernel. CarrierIQ is removed automatically after first boot via an init script. Say thanks to @skeevydude for his help in getting this done. I shouldn't say "help", he pretty much did it!
Installation
Flash the Lollipop modem - see @autoprime 's thread here for modem zip
Flash the ROM zip
Wipe cache and dalvik (and in some cases data) if coming from a different ROM
Download
v3* - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934548695
[QRCODE]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934548695[/QRCODE]
*No change at all to the ROM itself since v2, I just realized that I've been forgetting to zero out the free space on the image file before uploading, which saves about 600 MB when zipped. New flashable zip is about 1.1 GB instead of 1.7 GB.
Older versions:
v1 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934543883
Apps Removed
/system/app:
Google Books
Google Chrome
Google Cloud Print
Google Drive
Facebook
Hangouts
Google Newsstand
Google Play Games
Google Play Music
Google Play Movies and TV
Google Plus
Twitter
/system/priv-app:
ATT Address Book
ATT Caller Name ID
ATT DriveMode
ATT Games
ATT Locker
ATT Lookout
ATT Mobile Locate
ATT Remote Support
ATT Smart Wifi
ATT Mobile TV

ATT Visual Voicemail
MLT (LG tracker)
/system/vendor/app:
Amazon Kindle
ATT Family Map
ATT Home
ATT Keeper
ATT MHS Launcher
ATT Navigator
Uber
DeviceHelp
myATT
YP Mobile
ATT Apps
In case you want some of the ATT apps back, I have uploaded a zip here with those apps. This is NOT a flashable zip. You have a couple of options:
1. You may be able to install these as a normal (user) app by just pulling out the apk and installing the usual way.
2. If that doesn't work as expected, copy the app folder from the zip into the appropriate system folder as listed in the "Apps Removed" section.

Xposed Info
cmulk said:
Xposed has a couple of bad side effects at this point, so before doing anything you need to use Titanium or something similar to Freeze (this basically what the "helper" does):
LGSmartCover
Weather
Weather Theme
WeatherPlatform
Then you can install xposed as in the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
However, there is still one more bug to keep in mind: Xposed will crash the Tethering and Networks menu. There is no fix for that yet, but as a workaround you can download some apps from the play store (like Mobile Network Settings), to shortcut around the menu that force closes.

CarrierIQ Removal
CarrierIQ has now been removed!
The removal is done via an init script that runs at boot to disable the IQ service before removing the files in order to prevent a force close. However, if you have to wipe data/factory reset without re-flashing the ROM, you will get a force close on the first boot. The good news is that I've tested this scenario and it should fix itself if you just wait about 20 seconds. In other words, the mentioned script does it's thing to stop the service to fix the force close and you are good to go after that.
Old info below:
cmulk said:
On the 20f lollipop rom (either mine or stock, there's no difference) either freezing LADDM or removing the libraries and LADDM as you mention will cause a force close unless you disable the "IQService" first, which is built into the framework-res.apk. I have repeated it multiple times and it has been discussed quite a bit in the Lounge and other threads. Disabling the service is easy for users to do with the "DisableService" app, and then you can remove LADDM and the libraries as mentioned. The difficulty is that disabling a service is a user setting, so, for example, if I reflash my ROM without the IQ files onto a phone with clean /data, I will again get the force close and an unusable ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Manual Steps
In the meantime, here is how users can manually disable CarrierIQ. I take no credit for this method, it is posted in several places by several people, I'm just putting it here for convenience:
YOU MUST DO THIS IN ORDER (or at least the first few steps)
1. Download the "DisableService" app from the play store
2. In the DisableService app, go to System -> Android System and disable the "IQService" service
3. Use a root explorer to delete the folder /system/app/LADDM
4. Use a root explorer to delete /system/lib/libiq_client.so and /system/lib/libiq_service.so
5. (Optional) Uninstall DisableService
Remember, disabling the service is a user setting, so if you need to wipe /data for some reason, you will need to re-flash the ROM (which has the CarrierIQ files included) or else you will get a constant force close when your phone boots.

I'll give it a try, thanks

Thanks for your work. I wish I had some skill in this realm. It'd be nice to pick and choose which apps you wanted removed. I prefer the stock ATT Visual Voicemail app over the one in the Play Store as its more reliable. I also use some of the Google Apps that are removed here as well. But great job in getting something debloated out there.

Flashing lollipop Issues
Thanks for your work.... When flashing the 2 lollipop roms, 9 out of 10 times I get just a screen with icons, no wallpaper, no notification pull down no buttons at the bottom. I flash the modem the rom then SU and clear cache. I have only got the other ROM to flash successfully once. The same is going on with this ROM, is this happening to anyone else. I flashed it 5 times with the same results, would anyone know why this is happening, seems others dont have this issue. Thank you again for bringing us a debloated Lollipop rom.

Here is what I understand for a clean flash:
"1. Boot into Recovery
2. Make a Nandroid backup
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache
6. Flash ROM
7. DO NOT REBOOT – STAY IN RECOVERY
8. Select backup and restore
9. Select advanced restore
10. Select the Nandroid backup you made above
11. Select Restore data
12. Select Yes – Restore data
13. WAIT!
14. REBOOT"
What I do not understand is step 8, which selects the backup made in step two... and then flashing the backup over the (new) ROM flash in step 6. Wouldn't that overwrite the new ROM you just flashed?

I have not seen that issue, but in case you are not clearing data you may need to try clearing dalvik cache.
Also, (and this is just a shot in the dark) you could try formatting system before doing anything else just in case something strange is left behind there.

You can try dirty flashing first without losing any of your data.
1. Back up your current Boot and System
2. Back up your current modem (if you're coming from the Kitkat modem), or just download a flashable KK modem already posted on XDA
3. Flash the modem and ROM in this post
4. Wipe cache and dalvik
5. See if it works
If it's not working, then you will need to restore your boot, system, and modem to go back to your original kitkat setup without losing data.
Otherwise, you'll have to backup with Titanium and do a clean flash (wipe data) as already mentioned. Using Titanium makes clean flashing not so bad

I do clear Wipe cache and dalvik I wipe everything and it boots back into a desktop and thats it no notification, the same thing happened with the first lollipop.. but after 10 flashes it finally took... so I thought Id try your de-bloated and the same thing is happening again, not sure why this is. I can jump back to kk after flashing the modem without issues. Thank you again for your work.

I agree that I use most or all of these Google apps as well. However, they update so often anyway that I prefer to just have them as user apps (otherwise you end up with 2 copies - the old static version in the system apps folder, and the updated version in the user apps folder).
As for the visual voicemail, I have posted the ATT apps in a zip in the OP. Visual voicemail is in the VVM_ATT folder.
Thanks!

Sure thing! That's actually what I meant to do in post 13. I am not sure if you can flash over 10f without wiping data, but you could give it a try without losing anything (except time) if you look at post 13.
You should clear cache and dalvik mostly any time you are flashing, unless you are just flashing over another stock 20f ROM.

I do clear Wipe cache and dalvik I wipe everything and it boots back into a desktop and thats it no notification, the same thing happened with the first lollipop.. but after 10 flashes it finally took... so I thought Id try your de-bloated and the same thing is happening again, not sure why this is. I can jump back to kk after flashing the modem without issues. Thank you again for your work.

Have you tried formatting /system before doing anything else? I'm not sure that will make any difference, but just for process of elimination at least

Thanks I do clear everything but my external mem.

Ever since flashing this I'm getting "no sd card" messages every time I try to download anything ( I don't have an external sd card) but it's never been a problem before. I've restored a backup of my stock Tim and the problem followed me after full wipes.

Google Backup and Restore not working (sultanmod 6.0)

Well, it's mainly the restore part that's not working.
I went from OmniRom to Sultanmod 5.1.1 no problems; all my apps and the homescreen layout auto restored. I went from Sultanmod 5.1.1 to Sultanmod 6.0.1 (full wipe, clean flash and open gapps 6.0 stock) and I cannot get the autorestore to start. I turn the phone on, choose the language, put in my google account and then nothing. It doesn't ask if I want to restore apps or anything.
I tried removing and readding my google account, reflashing again and reflashing with the super version of Open Gapps but it says system partition not enough memory. Anything I can try before I spend the next hour or two setting my phone up back to the way it was?

You should probably start by using the Advanced Features of open gapps, put CMSetupWizard in your gapps-config.txt (plus any other apps you want to remove) and do a clean flash and profit. It's been mentioned most likely in the Sultan thread so search there next time. At the restore part it'll show your apps just click next every time and when it offers the skip option, press it and profit

The Sultan thread was naturally the first place I looked and searched but the only results that came up were talking about titanium backup, which doesn't do homepage layout.
I didn't know there was advanced features for open gapps. Don't understand why removing CMSetupWizard would help but I'll give it a shot. Thanks

worked a treat. Phone is back to the way it was before minus some bloat from gapps that I didn't want. Thanks a lot!

How did you do that? I didn't manage to get this working. Can you provide de Google Apps zip?
