[Snapdragon] Now that we have root, has anyone tried MicroG? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I'm seriously considering doing a backup and attempting to go to MicroG using the unofficial flashable one that @ale5000 made. It's all inclusive and takes care of the Google Framework stuff for you. I was just curious if anyone else has tried it?
Edit: Forgot the link to the OG thread.
Thread HERE!

I highly doubt it would work.

My installer works on all devices (almost), if you have any problem you can report it in its own thread.

Discussion for new aospGBModv0.1 - AOSP 2.3.1 (Gingerbread) 12/25/2010

So what's updated on this 12/25/2010 version from the previous one?
Also, what's not working at this point?

LOL, good point.
Seriously, aosp makes an excellent job (as usual), but never announces what's new or what's still not working. Personally I'd like to know.
Where's the download link for this "Discussion for new aospGBModv0.1 - AOSP 2.3.1 (Gingerbread) 12/25/2010" rom?

I know it has links BUT they are broken... 404 - Not Found
He mentioned before the 0.1 release that he was working on the gapps so since I don't see anything changed in the .1 release I think gapps are the only new thing.
Ok for some reason when I flash included gapps nothing happens ... no Gmail no market nothing at all downloaded multiple times flashed, wiped formatted all, still nothing... even booted first before flashing
..
this is what i found that works
calls/data
txt msgs
mms send/recive
wifi
wifi tethering
all the gapps work
what doesn't work
camera
senors/lights
gps
there maybe more but that is all i found so far on 0.1
camera!?
lol, if thats all that doesnt work this may as well be my daily.
This has become my daily. I don't need GPS I can use a map if I need to and the lights not coming on save in battery. My phone has been unplugged since 8am and I am at 57%. I also tossed in one of Deca's kernels. My only concern @ this point is Gmail not working. But I can get the gist of them in the few seconds they do open for. As for the camera not working it is winter in Washington it is always dark here it seems. So you need a flash.
mmm gingerbread.
forgive me if you think I'm being an ass, but why in the world does this tread exist, and why is it in development? The AOSP gingerbread ROM thread is already a place for discussion, and it contains the actual development. I think when somebody asked earlier "where's the download link?" they were actually asking "why is this thread in development?" only in a sarcastic way. If you want to know what is different in AOSP's rom you have to READ the thread near when he updates, the answers are always there, just not from AOSP himself.
Peace and love.
Well we have a thread disscusing the cm6 nightlys and that download link doesn't even work anymore and yeah maybe people are just being lazy and don't want to read though 90 pages of replies but if there was a problem with where the these is located I'm sure a mod would move it so instead of sharing ur negativity and post something positive or thread related and let the mod's do their job. No this does work with Firerat's mod just takes some tweaks
First follow the directions for the recovery that's all the same
but inorder for it to be stable you then need to wipe/formart everything and flash the first alpha and decafuct if you wish then the fr boot zip
reboot, once booted reboot recovery and flash the old gb gapps and reboot
once that boots up reboot recovery and flash aospGBMod-v.01 zip and reflash decafuct if you wish and then the FRboot zip again then reboot
once that has booted if maket doesn't show up reboot recovery and flash the old gb gapps again and you should have the market
for some reason the new gb apps don't work with firerat's mod the market never shows up and if you download the vending app from the internet and install it just fc and never opens
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8571811/gapps-mdpi-20101020-gb-signed.zip here is a link to the old gb apps if anyone needs them

Not trying to be negative, and the answer to lazy non-readers is never another thread. BTW the nightlies thread was posted by darch, who is the maintainer of the heroc for cyanogen, and that thread is actually used to help develop the rom (this one isn't, I doubt AOSP will follow two threads for his one rom). also, the nightlies thread has 7000+ posts, so if the logic were to open a new thread at 90 pages, well, you get my point..... If this should be here than great, it just doesn't seem like it should.
yeah your probably right aosp probably won't follow two treads but maybe this thread will keep the guys trying to test for aosp closer on the other tread and all other questions can be disscused here and i don't think your an ass i think you have a point of view just like i do. But just cause you and i know what we are doing most of the time doesn't mean there aren't people on here that don't know what they are doing and if having two treads helps them and us out so be it if this tread dies so be it but only time will tell give time this tread could become just as usefully as the nightly thread but we can't tell on only the short time it's been up
So mic/sound is working now?

Looks like the only thing that's not working is the camera.
Which unfortunately is a deal breaker for me, but oh well. I'm still amazed at how fast this rom is coming along anyway.

A simple mod alert on the first post asking a mod to move the thread to Q&A or General would work. If nothing happened, then it was meant to be.
I agree, however, that this isn't needed. Esp since it's now outdated and no ROM development is happening here.

[Q] Inverted GAPPS for Nexus S

Hey Everyone,
I am really excited to see that there is Inverted GAPPS that can be flashed; however, when I look through the forums I see them under everything other than Nexus S.
I have been following the thread at Rootz Wiki (XDA won't let me post link as I have not submitted enough threads), it is for the Galaxy Nexus, and am wondering if the inverted GAPPS here work for the Nexus S, seems I cannot find the right answer anywhere.
I am on Codename Android 1.4.0 with Matr1x kernel. Any advice or proper download and instructions links would be appreciated.
Cheers!
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15092-invertedtotally-inverted-apps-updated-2-16-google-reader-added/ most of these work for our nexus s i havent tried all of them though
Excellent! Yeah, thanks for the link. Can you tell me which ones worked for you? I'm hoping for Gmail, Email, Talk, Market and Calendar. Also, any special intructions on installing them? I read something about uninstalling updates....I'm not sure how to do that as I have never had to. Thanks in advance.
I should also mention that I flashed the new 404 GAPPS from Codename Android....is this an issue with the inverted GAPPS?

Not sure about this questions answer, but to answer above, yes. All of those you mentioned worked fine for me.
They have all worked for me on Nexus S and Desire S.

Codename Android 1.4.0 with Matr1x 16.5 kernel here. I've tried two different packages of of inverted gapps, and both seem to crash gmail. This thread* has a few pointers on getting them working, but between the new-to-me acronyms and the somewhat pigeony english, it's a little hard to understand.
Best I can guess is that you need to flash AOKP gapps, reboot, then flash the inverted apps one at a time (the multi-app pack seems to be more problematic).
That said, the ones I installed that work look absolutely phenomenal on the AMOLED screen.
* I'd post the link but the spam filter sez I need 8 posts to put up links. Suffice to say that if you google the phrase "page__st__760__p__478289", it should send you to the right place.

[UNOFFICIAL] ROM Status Thread (VZW SGSIII)

---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------
The purpose of this thread is to keep people updated on the status of various ROM's for the VZW SGSIII, because although the search button is our friend, sifting through pages of progress is cumbersome for a few of us. This is not a babysitting thread, though - I'm not posting hundreds of links to different pages and answering ROM tech support questions ( at least not all of the time ). If you post pending issues with the ROM, we can get them here and also post work arounds and fixes in a centralized area so as to not clutter the ROM sub forum. This thread will have THREE major parts.

I will be adding more ROM's as they come and as I have more time to. At night when my wife and daughter are passed out, I test these ROM's extensively. I also decompile and check everything out, just to see what might make one tick. You can post any questions you have here, and this way the devs have a centralized thread to look at where major concerns can be posted and fixes/updates/patches can be relayed just incase you missed a reply/skipped a page using the xda mobile app/etc.

Part 2: Complaints, Workarounds and Fixes
---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------
Q: I lost my ability to do direct call from text after flashing this rom, and a theme.
A: I'm willing to bet you didn't realize the stock mms was replaced by the AOSP version. Luckily for you, forum post #298 in the Jellybean Domination v7.2 thread has a stock MMS fix, that is also themed blue.
Q: I flashed paranoid android and i lost complete cellular service, and I have no IMEI! Why would they make a ROM like this?
A: It's a fault somewhere between flashing this rom and K-Exec doing it's job. We don't know exactly whats causing it yet. But chances are if you would have READ you would have heard about this being the number one RISK as of right now, and backed up your EFS/IMEI accordingly. A link on how to do just that is in the first part of this thread.
Q: SynergyROM people said that tethering works and VZW Mobile Tethering is broken. What gives?
A: I could have sworn they included a different WiFi hotspot app that works off of one touch. Look for it
Q: Google Now isn't working. I installed the APK and all it says is initializing.
A: As far as I know Google Now is a jelly bean addition, correct? We are on Ice Cream Sandwich. We can't really expect everything to work. A working google now can be found in the Paranoid Android ROM, which is AOSP and Jelly Bean'd.
Q: The Dev(s) of (variable) ROM haven't replied to me or addressed my issue directly. Whats the point of being a dev?
A: This is not the Devs job. The Dev makes the ROM. The Community flashes, tests, and reports bugs/problems. The dev then finds the time to fix these issues when he/she/they can. You're not a twelve year old in a ROM candystore where every ROM is a Daily Driver until this bootloader situation gets handled properly.
Q: Awesome Beats doesn't seem to be working, help!
A: Just because it's on there doesn't mean it's supposed to work. It's experimental, and some people have given the nod and others the axe. Your model may vary. I do have a modified SGSII version of a beats script I've been working on that i've test flashed on mine that works, and I'll pass that out after some more testing and after I find the creator of it and get his/her permission, at least so I can give proper credit for the original compiling.
---------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++-------------------+++++----------
Hey guys, this is for you. It looks like confirmation of the efs/imei backup working on more than one person. This comes from Paranoid Android thread. I hope this helps!
It is now.. I have data AND voice. Where previously I did not.
itsmefu is correct. I used the backup from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29201792#poststop
To elaborate, I went from:
stock rom->rooted with root66 rom->made a backup of my IMEI/EFS
I did not know this but for some reason this phone views our internal storage as SD CARD whereas the actual "physical" SD CARD is named EXT SD Card... so when i first backed it up I was unaware of this... but I had used the method I linked to back up the IMEI/EFS. So that there is an EFS.BIN on my EXT SD Card.
I than updated my kernel to the latest OTA->updated my baseband to the latest OTA (I advise rolling back to the previous baseband as this baseband is HORRIBLE...)
|_->downloaded the vzd2 image recovery from this thread->downloaded JB GAPPS->downloaded paranoid droid
|_->booted into recovery using three finger method->data wiped->cache wiped->dalvik cache wiped
|_->installed PARANOID ANDROID-> installed JB GAPPS
|_->rebooted... and my data/voice was broken.
SO:
went back to recovery->nandroided back (^ok sorry i forgot I nandroid before the whole installing process...)
|_->got back to root 66 rom with root.
|_->downloaded terminal emulator
|_->followed the instructions to push the imei/efs back into the phone.
|_->rebooted.
Working data and voice. Got 4g/3g/and VOICE (<-the MOST Important).
Repeated the appropriate steps to install Paranoid Android..
Now i have working data/voice.. 4g and 3g.. Going to roll back to previous baseband though as with this new baseband I'm dropped 4g, 3g constantly at the areas when i had constant 4g and 3g! 
---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------
I can't really confirm but I know I had ALOT of zeroes in my IMEI with broken data and voice... so I'm pretty sure I had it, as I lost connection to network in total.. basically a broken phone but a working wifi tablet? haha.

Please update and say that the backup is at least working.. so it is a verified backup in a sense. So people won't be as scared as before since then the backup was a HUGE if. I can verify this because I made the backup, lost data & voice compeltely, and than rerolled backup and now have a working phone!

Are you talking about the lift to call motion here? If so, that has worked for me on both versions of nosympathy's ROM as well as the most recent synergy ROM.
Pretty sure if the stock MMS gets replaced by a theme/ROM direct call gets borked.
Didn't say it was won completely working, but it's better to have a backup then it is to flash and then be pissed off. One if the main reasons I made the thread is just so people can be aware. There are plenty of roms and same day developers and assholes and trolls, but we need more people helping instead of demeaning. At least now they can look and SAY OK, there is a huge warning in red regarding k-exec and AOSP Roms. Instead of people dev bashing it can help. Also I don't consider this thread clutter.

It should work on any rom based off of mine. Synergy is one of those.
He is posting it mainly because there are some themes out there that default the stock ICS mms.apk instead of the TW secmms.apk that is in my bases. No one had a working deodexed secmms.apk until I released my first base.

Absolutely. Before no sympathy it's safe to say we were stuck, in a way. His tremendous work happened after these themes were being created, and people were blaming the ROM and that's clearly not the problem, and unfair.

Thats why I suggested the OP to update the thread with the backup to be at least confirmed working for more than 1 person-the orginal OP of the backup efs thread and me-so far... Because than at least people will be less afraid. They still have to be cautious as even getting root is not 100% safe if you don't follow anything to the T.

Thanks glad you agree with me! Because apparently Farabomb thought it was clutter... which in my aspect I think at least having it worked twice should count as a fundementally WORKING backup vs. a "THEORETICAL" backup... Because realistically till this happened to me we only had one case which was the OP of the EFS thread.. so it wasn't only in theory that it would work.
And i'm pretty sure for a 15 numbers string theres only one way of messing this up..
Btw, thanks Chad for posting what i wrote in the other thread up. And my apologies if it's a bit long, people said they wanted a detailed transcript so I did that..
LOL!
I'm glad it's long. The way people work on xda sometimes, long descriptions and transcripts are needed. I want everyone to work together, because all we will do is benefit!

Slic|<, my comment was in response to the post below me. Sorry if I offended. I was in irc trying to find out if it was just you that came back. I just didn't want people flashing madly without a proven solution. I flashed aokp without issue but I was still wary of trying any other ROMs without a working backup.

Slic|<, my comment was in response to the post below me. Sorry if I offended. I was in irc trying to find out if it was just you that came back. I just didn't want people flashing madly without a proven solution. I flashed aokp without issue but I was still wary of trying any other ROMs without a working backup.

Oh.. sorry than. Cuz the two sentences seemed to go hand in hand lol.. And it's cool man. I'm not in IRC. I'm at work lol.. no IRC on government comps! :silly: Yeah that's why I told the OP to post that the backup was working but as already stated FOLLOW EVERYTHING TO A T AND YMMV since that part of the info hasn't changed lol.
Well you can try paranoid android rom now with no worries <--less worries- since I was the unofficial guneai pig... thank god I fixed it though lol. I also just got my 4g working again, had to reset my radio to LTE/CDMA/GSM it was set to GSM/CDMA auto. Reset it with the phone info app. Now i can see if it's better than the last baseband.
Will keep you guys updated.

Anyone have a link to the Gapps that need to be used with CM10 wingray?

I don't know which one to use because there are so many.
Edit: Never mind I found them.

TeamBliss BlissMM for Fugu

Is anyone interested in helping flash/test out BlisRom on the Fugu?
Would be a full android experience(not based on AndroidTV) and would include many customization options including full CM Theme Engine support. Team Bliss has been pumping out great work for a plethora of devices for some time now. Very glad to see there are builds running for the Fugu.
Download can be found on official BlissRoms website:
http://www.blissroms.com
Look under downloads, then Fugu
I recommend x86 opengapps nano to flash after rom
You assume responsibility for your own actions while flashing. Do not attempt if you are unfamiliar with restoring your NexusPlayer back to working order. Yada yada :good:
Post results here. I'm in real good with the team behind the work, so I can relay results and help troubleshoot.
Thanks and good luck
This interests me very much. I will look into it tomorrow hopefully. Do you have anything to say about your experience with this new build?

I'm definitely interested. I'll have to check it out later tonight.
Edit: Finally got around to flashing this but, I'm having one issue. I flashed the nano Gapps and it says it is the wrong version for my version android. Not too crazy about the launcher either. Thought this was going to be more like a tablet version of android and not Andoird TV. I may go back to Lollirock.
Remote support? How about a leanback option?

Not sure what you mean by remote support? The file is available to flash via twrp. It is a test build and no official support is provided at this time. Need to know if the ROM boots with/without gapps. Tester will need to experiment with gapps packages(recommended to try opengapps x86). This is a full android build, not AndroidTV.
Leanback launcher could potentially be installed as a secondary launcher. You can locate a thread here on XDA to assist in how to accomplish that.
Again, this is a test build. Recommended to perform a backup prior to testing. If you don't know how to restore your device to working order should the ROM not function to your liking or fail to boot... It is your responsibility to restore to working condition(again, threads here on XDA can walk you through flashing a stock .IMG, or restore a backup via twrp that you made prior to testing)
Use at your own risk.
I think he was asking if the remote control worked with the rom.

Full Android Roms don't work well with the Nexus Remote. Will need to plug in a mouse via otg or use DroidMote perhaps... Whatever your preference would be.
I typically use a Logitech k400 wireless keyboard/mousepad combo. Gives you mouse control and a full keyboard to type on. You will need at least a mouse to get through initial setup
