[ROM][2.3.7] LiGux (Coopoui) (R2.0 - 01/10/2012)

This is based on a rom by Kirin at diypda.com. It is based on Cyanogenmod7 with LiGux and Coopoui launcher. It's extremely lightweight, quick, and stable. My modifications are listed below.

Details:
This rom is basically a highly themed CM7.2. I give all credit to the developers of LiGux, Coopoui, CM, and the Heroc. It includes the expanded LiGux settings which allows a lot of customization. I'll expand on customization/options in the second post. It features "pop-up" notification power tweaks from the top right of the status bar.
Modifications:
Updated kernel to 2.6.35.14 (thanks to jaybob413 for his kernel work)
Removed Chinese from many, many various locations
Edited build.prop to remove unnecessary info and align it with current CM build.prop
Removed battery and memory tweaks from boot.img
Removed a few init tweaks
Modified updater-script to align with up-to-date CM standards
Changed available cpu freqs to standards in boot.img and framework
Edited eri.xml in framework-res to add Sprint
Replaced PinyinIME with LatinIME (keyboard)
Edited MMS settings in framework to remove Chinese carriers and align with CM settings
Edited apn settings in framework to align with CM
Fixed a few mis-translated words and a couple missing translations
Fixed text sizes in apps that were lost in translation
Fixed messaging menu force close with Kirin update
Updated included gapps
Updated Coopoui and LiGux to latest available versions (3.2)
Updated system files to latest from CM
Removed Chinese 'market crack' options (plan on removing this completely from settings)
Added 'missing' apks and removed Chinese apks
Fixed a few mistakes and a whole lotta little things.
Working:
Everything, as far as I know.
Issues:
No known issues.
Please let me know if you find something broken and I'll fix it.

Customization/Settings Info
There's many available settings to customize this rom.
Under "common" settings, make sure to go under "keyevent settings" > "End button behavior" and select "Go to sleep." These settings are what you would normally find in Spare Parts.
Lock Screen:
To activate the Coopoui Ring lockscreen, click the "OneKeyLock" app in the app drawer to allow permissions. Under "CM Settings" > "Lockscreen" > "Style Options" you can pick the style for the lockscreen and phone calls.
Status Bar:
Click the clock to bring up the "notification power widgets." These can be changed just like CM in "CM Settings" > "Notification Power Widget" > "Widget Buttons."
Pull down on the left side of the status bar for notifications!
Under "personal" > "system ui" you can enable weather on the lockscreen. This works! If the weather doesn't show, go into the "News and Weather App" and make sure it has your location and the current weather shown.
You can also center the clock under the "statusbar ui" settings.
Change apps in homescreen tray:
The first setting I looked to change was the apps in the tray on the homescreen.
Press Menu at the homescreen and go to "DeskSettings"
Select "dock settings"
From there, click each of the four DockButton settings to select the apps for the 4 slots in the tray.
Status Bar Transparency:
Under the "personal" tab on settings, you can enable transparency in the statusbar. Under "statusbar ui," click "statusbar background" > "color fill" and slide alpha all the way down.
App Transparency:
Under the "personal" tab on settings, you can enable transparency in app windows. Under "system ui," click "set window background" > "color fill" and slide alpha down. I recommend not sliding it all the way down so your apps at least have a dimmed background.
Here's a screenshot with some extreme settings:
There's many other settings to play with!
Boot Animation:
Here's the original boot animation... Flash this zip in recovery.

Awesome ROM. Running very smooth.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Been playing with this for the past few hours. Nice. It runs quick and smooth. Really like the launcher and loads of custom settings. So far everything has been working very well.

what nightly is this running off of? the actual 7.2 release? or the last nightly build before the buildbot broke? (or the best option, tip, cause someone grabs it nightly and does the build?)

I really liked the rom, few things i noticed though. Battery went down pretty quickly which was unusual. Long hold on the back button keeps killin app (tried disabling it but doesnt work) Its a cool feature but i kept closing apps by accident =( Messaging shows that chinese icon thing when u recieve a mssg (not a big deal though) Uh maybe for the toggle notification i'd prefer a different color to see which one is enabled, anyway i can manually change it? Other than those small issues, the ROM is really awesome! I appreciate ur work. Was nice and new =)

I updated the system files with files from the 7.2 release. I know it's perfectly stable, so I didn't wanna go and break something.
Sorry... I can't really comprehend the last question.

I noticed the battery run down quickly after loading the rom but the next charge seemed to hold better. But haven't used my phone much since. While sleeping it seems to drain about as quickly as any other rom. I will be making some calls and texting some today and will see how it does.

Look in the battery stats and see what's running it down I had over 20 hours of use before I charged it just because.

I agree. I'm gonna look at disabling that. It helps when you need it, but that's not very often.

They are a different color. You'd have to decompile and recompile systemui.apk and change each icon. I can do it, but I'd like to fix these other issues first.
Thank you very much for the feedback! I appreciate it. I want to make this a very usable rom.

Haha... I see what you're talking about now.
Ill try figure out what it says :/ and replace it... or just make a solid gray indicator! If you can translate or have an idea of what it says or you want it to say, let me know. I'm assuming it says "new." Ill probably go with a solid color.

Are you using RA recovery?
How are you wiping before you flash? If you're flashing over a current gingerbread build, uninstall gmail, then wipe cache and dalvik in recovery before flashing... but I think the problem may be that you're using RA recovery (based on what I've read online).
Keep me updated

Great ROM (my daily now) ....observation on Market
Thanks for a snappy new rom! I've tried to let market auto update, but it doesn't it. I looked in system and I see the auto updater apk, but it doesn't auto update. Not a deal killer for me, just an fyi..... I also went into app management and wiped data and it still doesn't update to the latest Market.

uhm i was able to get the latest market, just gotta wait. Usually it will update when u use wifi so it can update faster. The icon wont change though but u can check market setting it will be the latest.
Oh and the message text probably says New text =P i say just turn it into a solid color.
As for the battery thing I'll probably just do a clean charge.
BTW I was able to send a mms and recieve just did it once though but it worked fast no problem downloading it too =) forgot to mention that.

This is all great news!!! I'm glad I don't have to dig into the market updater.
Very glad MMS is working, too!!!!!!!! I know that's something that has plagued the other Chinese roms.
I used Google translate and figured out it says "new." Ill fix that and a few other issues I've found.

[MOD] [APP] [N 7.+] [ROOT/NON ROOT] [UPDATE:- 05.12.2016] Quick Tile Settings App

Hello friends
I was searching for a good quick tiles edit app for stock Open Beta 8 non rooted device and i found one finally. All other apps i have tired have some bugs . But this one is perfect. My first aim is save my volume button and alert slider button. In stock roms there is no option to select silent , vibrate , normal quick tiles . After find this app i got all tiles i need.
This will work in rooted and also non rooted devices. Only rooted users can add Screenshot , Reboot , Poweroff tiles to quick settings. Non rooted users can add other useful tiles such as Sound, Volume etc etc...
Its completely not my work. I am just sharing it here from Pixel XL thread with the full permission of the original developer. Simply try this and if u like it means please do not hesitate to press the THANKS button for the original developer.

Nope, for several reasons:
1. As mentioned, the previous version does contain the same code for ringer toggle and devices status ... I´ve double checked and not a single line of code is different in the relevant classes, so it´s very unlikely that your issue is related to the current version.
2. Even if 1.5.1 would cause your issue, I would rather fix this in the current version, than go back to an older version .... would be a support nightmare.
3. My security policy regarding APKs is simple: NEVER EVER RELEASE AN APK! PERIOD! ... It´s a simple rule to protect users, because there is only one secure way to get QuickTile and this is Google Play. Every APK you find is not authorized and could contain all kinds of harmful code.
So how should we handle this:
I can not reproduce your issue, but you can send me a log file and I will have a look ... beside that, I didn´t receive feedback from any other user, regarding this issue, so would be nice if other users (with the same device + rom ) would report back if the device status ringer link and the ringer toggle work on their devices ....

List of available themes ready for Samsung thanks to @pimpmaneaton: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/collection-substratum-themes-compatible-t3635673
ATTENTION: You can still run Substratum Legacy (shows in the toolbar) without the addon, but it may not work with Samsung devices, so you must get the addon app!
How to apply Substratum themes
First, you will need to install the apps listed above
Download a theme that doesn't rely on Android System or theme ready Google Apps...so find themes like Swift Black or Swift Dark on Play Store.
Once you install the theme, Substratum will throw a notification saying that a new theme has been installed
Open the theme in Substratum and click on the app (one at a time for now only) and click the button on the bottom right.
Click Install and let it compile. It will ask to install an APK to your device. Install it.
You can switch to that application and see if it is themed. If it isn't, manually force close the app in Settings or reboot your device.
(ATTENTION) It is HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended NOT to apply Android System and SystemUI elements as of yet UNLESS your theme supports it and shows "dangerous overlays" by default. For themers, all you have to do is set @bool/ThemeSupportSamsung to true.
Current Bugs
- none
How to recover?
You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
Reboot your device
Hold down the Volume Down key while booting up
You are now in Safe Mode
Go into Settings -> Apps, then find the overlay you think is messing up and uninstall!
How to recover if the above doesn't work? (Credits to Evozi)
You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
Turn on screen and press power button. It will show "Shutdown", "Restart", "Emergency Mode"
Turn on "Emergency Mode", keep spam the checkbox so you can tick the checkbox to proceed the agreement. (phone is super lagging)
While you are in emergency mode, you have very limited access. Open any system app and go to recent task list.
Long press the app task, press the info icon and app detail page will appear.
Hit the back button and it will show your whole app list.
Find your overlay and remove all its storage and phone permissions.
Deactivate Emergency Mode and now you are back to TouchWiz.
Uninstall the overlay app.
Instructional video, thanks @DaKoin!

Beware this is beta testing. So please be patient and read the instructions properly.

Glad to see this.... Thanks for the hard work.

Any free themes that somewat give the same experience like swift black or drk

How to apply Substratum themes
First, you will need to install the APK from the pinned section of the group (under the group name)
Download a theme that doesn't rely on Android System or theme ready Google Apps, so like Swift Black or Swift Dark on Play Store.

Reboot or force close the app in Settings to apply the theme to that app.
(ATTENTION) It is highly recommended NOT to apply Android System and SystemUI elements as of yet.
Current Bugs
- Detection method of installing apps is not done yet, so you can't uninstall from the theme, only by using the Overlay List (open the drawer and click Overlay List)
How to recover?
You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
Reboot your device
Hold down the Volume Down key while booting up
You are now in Safe Mode
Go into Settings -> Apps, then find the overlay you think is messing up and uninstall!

Found another way to recover if you install status bar stuff. Remove your sim tray

Just want to say thanks for the work....definitely make me not miss root now

First, thank you for this. Second, I'm slightly skeptical on how well this works but can't wait to be proven wrong.
Third, I tried to boot into safe mode to see if I could before I screw anything up, and when I hold volume down when booting, it hangs on my carrier's splash screen for like 5 minutes and never boots to safe mode. I'm on US Cellular (don't laugh...). I was just wondering if anyone else had this little issue with booting into safe mode?
EDIT: I have an S8+ and just realized you have to tap and hold the Power Off button (on screen) to get into Safe Mode - note that it seems to take forever to boot, just be patient with it.

You have to join their Telegram group. Then click on the 3 dots in the upper right and hit Files. Kind of a shady way to hand out an apk, but I'm not one to talk.

Our full operation runs through Telegram but soon it will be on Play Store too.
The reasoning behind this is because we have build bots to automatically compile an updated APK and send it to the chat when I push a commit, also a nice way to directly contact the devs (me).

That's understandable. Apologies if my comment came off as rude.

It probably goes without saying ... but proceed with caution with this and backup ahead of time. I threw caution to the wind and installed a system overlay that my S7 didn't like apparently and left me with a completely black/blank screen. Booting into safe mode just gave me the words "Safe mode" at the bottom but still a black screen. No ability to remove the bad stuff. No option left other than to wipe & restore.
Works great though! Installed some nifty overlays to test beforehand. Looking forward to seeing this project evolve. Thanks dev!

Just curious, how did you wipe and restore if it just gave you a blank screen in safe mode? I'm proceeding with caution on this as well.

Yeah, don't touch those unless you're dealing with Samsung Substratum specific themes.

Yeah, I did system and system overlay. I just wanted to test it. I'm not complaining. Just wanted to test and report back.

Download a theme that doesn't rely on Android System or theme ready Google Apps, so like Swift Black or Swift Dark on Play Store.

Anyone have recommendations for other quality themes that fit this category? Thanks!

Swift Dark / Black , Reverie , Grvy , PitchBlack etc... They all should work fine for 3rd party apps & Google apps. Just don't tinker with System apps.

Umidigi F1 - questions and missing Pie functions

Hi Everyone!
So, I decided to take a gamble in buying an Umidigi F1 phone and it just arrived.
Playing with it, it has android pie (supposedly clean, but i'll come to that) yet appears to be missing some features
Basically, I'm missing:
Gestures - the section is there but only two options and not the change in home button
Home Setting - hitting the desktop only gives wallpapers and widgets, no home settings
So, can anyone tell me why these are missing and how I get them - being that they're both software features of android pie and this is supposedly the latest version of (5 Jan 2019 security patch), I'm a little confused!
Thanks

Gotcha, but they don't really answer the question
Question 1 was, why am i missing the OFFICIAL built in gestures for Android pie (i.e. swiping the central button)
Question 2 is why am i missing the home setting button which enables the AI learning to show different things in the drawer (new Pie feature)

Maybe Umidigi changed it. They aren't on Android One program, they don't have to keep it stock Android.
It's already a bonus there isn't a heavy skin and bloatware.

There is some bloat (a notes app and flashlight) but yeah
Also finding some other oddities - e.g phone app is stock, but stuck on an old version and actually doesn't match the stock I had on my old phone so can't be updated

What's the status of the bootloader on these devices? Is it already unlocked?

No idea on bootloader
Managed to get v26 of the Google Dialler with bubbles to replace dialer. Looking for better camera app now

Have you managed to find a better camera app? I've been looking for an equivalent phone from
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/
but can't seem to find one.
I had a system update pretty early on and I've got gestures working on my F1. Have you been able to resolve this issue? If not, maybe try searching for system updates from the phone.

I was doing exactly the same. Tried every port (or at least I believe I did) from that thread of Google camera and not getting anything working sadly
Other camera apps aren't doing much for me!
The stock one is fine but I occasionally get done colour washing
Re. Gestures, thats interesting. I've not had an update that gives me that option and searching doesn't find anything

I do have that Gestures setting but the one you mentioned where you swipe up to go home/back etc is in Smart Assistant > Buttons and its called Slippery Gesture.
I've had some joy with Google Camera as well! Try this: -
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQue...ny_google_camera_mods_out_yet_for_umidigi_z2/
Its for the Z2 but it installed fine for me.

Ah, no, the one I mentioned should be in the screen I showed (it is on my MiA1, and is where all the pie guides list it) - it's slightly different to the one you list (which I'm guessing is something custom for Umidigi or a precursor perhaps!)
That camera works for me, thanks for the link, but it's a really old version on Google Camera (2.4!), and I'm not sure it's adding much over the stock. In fact doesn't seem to be any way to get to the gallery even from it unless I'm being dim!
Will keep holding out for a port of the latest Google camera that works!

You get to the gallery by swiping from the right but I'd have to agree with you that it doesn't improve the image quality, which I'm pretty impressed with in all fairness. The Panorama and Photo Sphere is pretty good though, but I don't see me using those much. I'd be really interested if you do manage to find a worthwhile camera app, so please post if you do. I read somewhere that 'A Better Camera' app is pretty good, even if it does sound crap but haven't tried yet.
Good luck finding the Gestures you want. Strangely the 'Slippery Gestures' I mentioned doesn't show up in a search, so maybe what your looking for is hidden there somewhere; albeit not where it should be

Umidigi phones are unlockable out of the box with just the OEM unlock command via ADB/Fastboot, and while I haven't seen it confirmed, odds are that this phone is no different.
The real question is going to be whether we see any development for it on XDA. I'm seriously considering buying an F1, but since you really can't rely on first-party software updates for these Chinese no-name devices, I'm holding off to see if it gets some love here on XDA.

Question Galaxy Themes Issue

Am unable apply themes properly to all the native applications from Themes store. When i apply any theme, it themes only few icons n change homescreen wallpaper but doesn't theme phone app, contacts app, quick settings tiles, messages, settings menu etc.. I have tried every possible way to troubleshoot this without any success. Done cache clearance, signed out from Samsung account and signed in again, switched off n restarted, reset app preference, applied default theme then again applied downloaded theme etc... Tried both with Stock home launcher and Nova launcher.. Any solution for this..?

Try clearing system cache. Try safe mode.
If that fails, Factory reset. After reset load/update nothing.
Try one of the native high contrast themes if present to test it. Then allow Samsung system apps to update, try again.
If it continues misbehave after reload the firmware may be corrupted or a possible mobo failure, have it reflash or return it.
This is not normal. Usually it's caused by a 3rd party app. Malware is also to be considered.
Do Not use SmartSwitch to restore anything as it can cause all kinds of wonderful issues.

Tried cache clearing and factory reset also..
But i do indeed used smart switch for restoring my messages (pc application)..
will that really could have caused the problem..?
p.s: i have applied native high contrast theme from settings and it did changed the colors of contacts and keyboard..

Oh yeah it can... SmartSwitch can work perfectly or fail you miserably with all data lost. Unpredictable... beware.
NEVER rely on SmartSwitch to backup critical data. When going between different models is when it's most likely to fail.
The high contrast themes are actually some of the best. Pick theme>pick icon pack>load your custom wallpaper, modify with the Goodlock family of apps.
I keep a screen shot of my favorite icon pack page to help with a reload if needed.
SmartSwitch can normally be used to backup homepage settings on the same model but another reload will be needed if something goofs up. A good load can last for years if not upgraded, it's worth doing it right the first time.
My stock N10+/Pie setup, this load will be 2yo in June:

I just had my contacts and messages transferred via smartswitch app, nthng else..
Yesterday i had to contact tech support guy, who remotely operated my device (through smart tutor) but was unable to find out the issue..!!
One thing i did was, tried to apply theme in safe mode. i was not at all unable press the apply button but when i tried to apply icon pack from themes section, it worked without any hitch... Does this make any sense..??

If it works in safe mode a third party app is most likely the cause. Uninstalling may fix it unless it's poorly written and permanently alters hidden user settings during uninstall.
See if you can find it. Trashware apps like FB, WhatsApp, social apps etc should never be loaded as they are malware by design and purpose.
If worse comes to worst, factory reset and be careful what you install. Do not use SmartSwitch this time.

You're welcome. Good the hear you tracked it down... Yay! That was sort of tough.
It would of drove me nuts as I hate the way Samsung's look and act out of the box.
I only run in dark mode, lol it's Kitkat love
That's a glitch with the firmware. Never saw anything like that on my N10+'s running on 9 and 10.

That's really a shame on Samsung's engineer's part. Almost everybody uses dark mode as soon as they unbox a phone. How can they miss this glitch while finalizing their software..!
If, to use a theme, i go into bright mode other apps are white which r not themed by that applied theme...
Ridiculous...

Oh. I thought you meant that after you applied the theme you could then set dark mode. Have you tried? No dark mode would suck...

I tried setting Dark mode back, after applying theme from the Store. It straight away removed the applied theme and reverted back to not so colourfull Dark mode..

Use the app theme park from galaxy store and see how you get along with that

Ok, what happens with dark mode on when you connect a call on the phone with the high contrast theme? Maybe you're expecting too much? Show some screenshots.
For the most part my N10+ looks like it's running on Kitkat when dark mode is enabled.
Themes change the keyboard, text messages and phone/contacts colors and layout. Since I always set my own wallpaper I never pay any attention to that in themes.
I'd test it but I have to do quit a bit to do so.
This what it look like in Pie...
Many of the themes may be incompatible with 12 unless they were updated. That may be the actual issue.

This was my last resort.. I used theme park for more control on colors of the UI but sadly this won't allow us to change the colors of Dialer app, settings app and contacts app.. May be a future update may give us the ability to theme the whole thing..

What i am trying to say is when v use the bright mode, the applied theme will theme all the native apps but when v use the dark mode and then apply the theme, only wallpaper and the icons will be themed (all other native app colors will not be changed as it happens in bright mode.)

I think this may be normal behavior.
The keyboard, phone screens and text screens should change in response to the theme.
