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 =)

Well there's only been 4 DLs so far. I guess there aren't many Shift users left.

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

yeah, noticed that too

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.

Issues with camera after rooting

After rooting I have noticed that after a while when I open the camera app, it no longer takes pics when tapping on the screen. I can pull up the menu and try to hit the camera button, that also does nothing, same with even the back button. This is a huge deal breaker, if I can't fix this the phone is going back.
Rooted apps running:
Titanium Backup (de-bloat)
Xposed
G3 Tweakbox
AutoHide Soft Keys
If someone could recreate this and help me out that would be awesome! until then back to the Note 3! Please note that it takes a few times of opening the camera app for this to occur, also after rebooting the phone it seems to work for one or two pics once in a while.

Have you tried disabling all modules on Xposed and tried every tweak one at time? are you using an app for the Autohide Soft Keys or are you using the built in feature?
I don't have problems with the camera and have similar configuration.

I am using an app for the auto hide. For some reason the stock hide does not allow you to hide them in apps like Messages, or in the launcher. kinda dumb those are where I want it to hide the most.

First off, it is likely something that you have loaded (or removed) since rooting that has caused the issue.
What apps did you de-bloat? It is possible that you removed or froze something that is required for normal camera operations.
Do you have any of the "Camera Tweaks" selected in the G3 TweaksBox module (if so, I recommend that you deselect them and reboot).
If that doesn't work, I would suggest turning off and removing the "autohide softkeys" module. That isn't a common module for G3 users and it may be interfering with the normal operation of the phone.
Second off, you shouldn't return the phone because you messed it up. You were willing to root and modify your phone, so it is on you to fix it (especially when it is so easy to do). Worse case scenario, you should return it back to the original stock image and start over. For more information on how to do this, please read over this thread....... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647
If none of this works, you return the phone back to stock and it still doesn't work right, then it might be a hardware issue. If this is the case, then you should return the phone. But only after exhausting all other avenues and only after returning the phone back to stock and testing to see if the problem still exists. You have to return the phone back to stock in order to return it anyway.

Here is a question, when you are in the camera app do you have the menu up? Start with teh simplest things, rule them out and work your way up to find the problem.
If it looks like this, you have to hit the camera icon
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If it looks like this, screen touch

Rooting does cause issues with the camera. I haven't done anything but root and the camera doesn't allow for the touch to take a picture and it also messes with the menu and edit options. As a matter of fact, if you remove or disable Google+ you have NO edit options. You can find a third party app to use in place of this, but it does mess up the camera edit functions.

I have deleted Busybox and Odn pro. The problem was solved. For navbar hide i use g3 tweakbox.

Looks like its apps that hide nav bar that cause camera not to work.. at least in my limited experience (VZW G3)
Off to try G3 tweaks to hide nav bar

I have the same problem as you, and I'm fairly sure it's because of the auto hide soft keys. Something goes wrong when it is enabled, but disabling it makes the camera app work just fine. I've reverted to using the google camera app, but it sometimes takes a few seconds to snap a photo...

Receiving Notifications only through Wifi!

I am receiving push notifications normally on my Huawei Mediapad x2 until it is Idle for an hour or so.. I receive notifications from Whatsapp normally but after an hour of standby (or even less than an hour), I don't receive notifications anymore unless I open Whatsapp by myself, then I start receiving them again normally. Whereas Facebook for example, when I installed it first, I received notifications normally, but then I do not receive any notification from Facebook anymore unless I launch the app manually. But then Will not receive notifications again until I launch it manually again. Several apps behave like Facebook as well. BUT I DO receive notifications from all apps whenever I use Wifi!
Note that all my Notifications settings are normal, and I've set these apps to launch automatically when the system starts up.
I am a newbie to Android, I am not rooted, updated to 6.0 OTA. Please help!

I wish I could help you, but unfortunately, my notifications have been iffy since I bought the phone in Dec 2015. I'm running stock B112.
Gmail seems to provide instant notifications, especially on Wifi, but notifications on Facebook Messenger are always delayed...I usually have to open the app, at which point it refreshes and starts buzzing with messages one by one until the messages are all loaded. Whatsapp is similar, with notifications appearing on the status bar only rarely. Opening up the app however begins to load and display all messages.
I've tried everything I can, including going into the app settings and allowing all permissions, as well as turning off any of the battery life saver features that might be delaying the notifications. No dice.

I am on B112 on stock unrooted 703L and I don't experience this issue. Make sure you don't close the alp via square open apps button. Huawei kills any app if you do that or close all, even if it's protected

Thank you guys for your support. I have done a Data factory reset, and I still suffer from the same issue when the phone goes into deep sleep, I do not receive notifications anymore from any 3rd party apps. Any other suggestions please?

There's an option in system settings that allows you to keep apps alive, even when the phone has gone to sleep. You need to find that option either in the settings menu, or in the "phone manager app". I've never experience problem with apps that I've "mark/tick" to keep alive.

I have tried.. All settings are correct but still no fix

I think I have the same problem concerning WhatsApp, Wear Messages for my Smartwach and constant pulse measuring with Mi Band Tools.
All of them are only working when I open them manually and if I don't close them via square button to free my RAM and even then they don't work all the time.
I just recently updated from stock B112 to B211 but it is still the same.
I went through all options in every settings menu but it didn't help.
I also tried the app Phone Notification Fixer No Root with no success.
I don't know what else to do.
Maybe a Custom Rom would help.
I really like this phone but this "bug" makes it pretty useless.

Do you have any 3rd party task killer apps installed? Your apps are getting killed when your screen turns off.
Phone Manager -> Battery Manager -> Protected Apps. Turn ON for all those apps.

No, I have no extra task killer and I already protected all apps. I found another older thread here with people who have the same problem and one mentioned it would be a general Huawei problem with the phone manager.
In the same thread I read that you can protect opened apps in the app drawer (square button) when you pull them down. Testing this at the moment and it seems to do the trick. But I will probably test a Custom ROM tomorrow.

If that works for you then it seems what your original issue is that YOU are killing your apps manually using the square button - read my quote below which I wrote here a few days ago already.

I already stopped killing WhatsApp etc via Square before but after some time they stopped working again, maybe because of some timeout?

That is MY thread. I was able to overcome this by not killing apps via square button. If you want even better results, make the app a system app

Ah ok, sorry, I didn't look at the usernames. Well than thank you for the help
To make an app a system app I need root I guess?

I have this same issue but it's not restricted to Wifi (read on).
As others have pointed out, there used to be a setting that would allow programs to run in the background once your phone sleeps (screen off), but this was taken out in Marshmallow anyways. Even with it in lollipop the phone still does this. This is a direct consequence of both Android and EMUI, both of which have stringent algorithms intended to manage resources and save power, so that applications get pre-empted after a certain period of inactivity. This affects Whatsapp, Google hangouts, etc. Actually most of my notifications for these apps only show up after I manually launch them. This means I always miss whatsapp and Hangouts calls. ALWAYS!
So long story short, to get your notifications, just open the respective apps (manually) and they should come through (that is until Android / EMUI decide to clear them from memory).
Also, it would help if you avoid closing these apps using the trash icon at the multi tasking UI.
Hope this helps. I know its annoying, but I wouldn't give up my X2 for another phone

First off, you can still set apps ad "Protected Apps" in Marshmallow, see my post above. Also, my protected apps don't get killed unless I use the square button (which you referred to as the trash in your post). What other apps are u running that make the OS memory cleanup kill your apps?

A short update from my side:
Switched from stock B211 to KangVIP B211, still had the same "issues".
Tried the advice to make certain apps system apps.
Tried it with a app called "/system/app mover" which is free.
Moved WhatsApp, Android Wear and Mi Band Tools to system apps.
Now everything works like I know it from other phones before.
I can kill every app with the built in taskkiller (square button) and I still get notifications from whatsapp etc. instantly. Mi Band Tools constant pulse measuring also working and so does my smartwatch.
Thanks to all the people here for their guides/hints/etc., otherwise I had to sell my X2.
Don't know if I would buy a Huawei/Honor again tough.

Pretty much any app that consumes resources. For example: Chrome with multiple tabs, or Mortal Kombat X.
I also want to point out the behavior definitely repro's if I use the little trash icon (its not square, but it shows up when you use the square button to bring up recent apps), but even if I DON'T use it, Android/EMUI will eventually kill off background apps REGARDLESS OF IF THEY ARE IN THE PROTECTED LIST OR NOT.
This causes a problem with apps that need to always run, such as Whatsapp and Hangouts, where incoming texts/calls almost never make it through since the OS/skin decided to recycle their resources.

Couldn't get this to work. I installed system app mover and made sure I gate it root permissions. However it keeps complaining about busybox not found. I installed busybox as well, still no dice.
Instead I used Titanium Backup pro version (had to pay $6) and had to reboot after each app (Titanium kept hanging at processing but it worked anyways).
That didn't solve the core problem though. I rebooted the phone, made sure to close all apps, and attempted to dial my number.
Hangouts didn't receive the call because it's not "running". When I manually launched hangouts it complained about having to re-install itself. It then opened the google play store and the only option was to "open" it. Again, it refuses to open and keeps saying it needs to re-install itself.
There has GOT to be a way to get apps to act as services. This alone is forcing me to reconsider the X2 as a viable "phone"....
Thanx

Thanks for the tip. This is already off though and the behavior still repro's.
I'm starting to believe its the Android OS itself. I did a test on an entirely different device running an entirely different OEM skin (Verizon Note 4 running oTA marshmallow) and tried opening multiple games and chrome tabs. Sure enough, even with roughly 200 to 300MB of free RAM, the OS stepped in and killed what it deemed to be "not needed". I should also point out that Hangouts notifications work just fine on the Note 4, which leads me to believe EMUI and its Nazi-like power consumption tricks may also have something to do with this.

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.

Thanks! I love this idea and I've been researching about it, but it slows the image search down by a lot. It'll come around eventually, I just need to find the best way to implement it

Nice app,dev!I have a little request:can you make wallpaper to change everytime you turn on the screen like in 500 firepaper app? Thanks anyway

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.

@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

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.

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.

Yes, if I remember correctly.

Yes , dark mode always on for me

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.
