When I installed nAa's port recently published for our Mini Pro's, I noticed there was no way to use Market, register a Google account, or use any of the Google services that comes by default on most ROM's. This is because Google Apps are protected by copyright, so Cyanogen decided to wipe them from their official ROM. This can be easily solved by flashing them, and although this is very simple and easy, I found that there isn't much talking about this. Also, I saw there was some people asking and getting no answer, so I'd like to share this. Yes, flamers, even if it is REALLY easy or whatever you may say.
First of all, click this link. Here, you will always have the lastest version of the package, so don't worry about the dates. Then, scroll down and click the Download link, like this:

Note: Ignore the other downloads. EDIT: Unless you want other versions of Android. In that case, go to the bottom of this post.
You will get a file called "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip". Well, just flash that (Install as any other Custom ROM -DON'T WIPE-) and then, when you turn on the phone, you will get the default setup where Google configures your account and download Google Apps such as Market.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Times goes on, and technology advances at insane ratios. Ice Cream Sandwich's CyanogenMod version is here, and so are its Google Apps. We, on the X10 Mini Pro community, have actually the option to install ports of this great Android mod on our phones thanks to the awesome developers we have. Some of us, like me, still decline to use CM9 or ICS ports (In my case, because of the awesome stability and every-day use of the Gingerbread ROMs out there), and thus you should know:
-If you are going to use an Ice Cream Sandwich(4.x) ROM, you should download the CyanogenMod 9 Google apps version.
-If not, if you still preffer to use a Gingerbread(2.3.x)-based environment, download the CyanogenMod 7 Google apps version, the one on the screenshot above on this post.
*I don't know your reasons, but if you would like to keep using an even earlier version, I'll list them for you:
Froyo(2.2) ROM, CyanogenMod 6 (Tiny version for our Mimmi -x10 Mini Pro-) is for you.
Eclair(2.1) is CyanogenMod 5 (Tiny version for Mimmi)
Donut (1.6) is CyanogenMod 4 (Tiny version for Mimmi)
Read ALL in nAa first post in MiniCM7 Rom thread. Look at instructions.

It just says "Flash gapps", it doesnt explain much further and that's what kept me stuck a bit. That is why I wrote this. Not the GREAT guide but will save some minutes of research to some people...
And there is a download link too ;-)

I think if we read carefully nAa said at his post we got no problem for gapps. From 1st flash until now I have no problem on it
Thanks!
There were android ics 4 apps too on the list. have you tried any of them? Just curious.

Lol, market xd Not all GApps are on that package, just the basic ones. Every other Google App you need, you should download it from the market individually.
i cant. The market app doesnt show gmail and through the "web browser" market on my pc it says my device is incompatible.

Describe in detail your problem so I can add it to the main thread c:
I have a bit of a n00b side question i'm afraid. I've flashed a ROM which I love but how do I selectively flash gapps, the Nexus 4 comes without the native calendar, email etc apps, but if I flash the latest gapps these are flashed back onto the device (obviously). What is the best approach get this ROM with the latest Google services apps and not AOSP apps, I want Chrome, Camera, Calendar etc. Should I just not flash gapps and use Titanium back and backup user + system apps or just flash the ROM and then download them from the play store?
Thank you nico, Now i understand why gapp exists!

I followed instructions from a youtube video and installed CyanogenMod 9 on my HTC explorer. Before that I rooted my phone and wiped out factory cache, dalvik cache etc. I also installed one of the gapps-ics-xxxxxxxx-signed.zip (do not remember the datestamp) in the recovery mode by selecting the zip file from mounted USB storage card. Now how should I get back my backed up apps/data and google play to install more ?
N.B.; I took back up using Titanium Backup prior to taking all these steps.
Thanks in advance for any help in this regard.

Thanks Nico,
Almost 2 years later this is still useful info. My first custom Rom install since honeycomb tablet and I had know idea how to flash gApps. Should have guessed from term "flash" that you use recovery but there seems to be a dearth of details. Your post was first google hit.
Sorry for the late responses, I had totally forgotten about this thread! I don't actually know if this will be useful for the ones who asked the questions, but anyways I'll answer them here in case someone else needs them.

Wow, didn't expected to get first place on Google haha Thanks for the appreciation. Yeah, it is not that hard, but I had little trouble doing it while I was new. It's important to understand not to wipe again to flash gapps also!

It depends on how you backed them up on Titanium. Maybe you did a full system backup or just app-per-app backup. If you did a full System backup, try to restore only Data, look into options, custom restore, something like that, there's probably an option there to do that -I usually don't use Titanium haha-. If you did the app-per-app, just look into the list of apps, go to the bottom of the list, and there should appear the apps you backed up, tap on them and restore them with their respective data.
BTW, for the next time, I suggest doing a backup from the Recovery menu, and then do a custom restore > restore Data. Data is where your personal stuff is saved, so no system files will be affected. It may pass down some bugs or troubles because of incompatibility between your backed up ROM and your new one, but normally that doesn't happen.

MD5 is just a file that makes sure your file is not corrupt. If you flashed a corrupt file, you could mess up your phone entirely without any chance to turn it back, so it is important, but you don't have to care about it because it gets checked by the phone itself.

I think you can get the APK for specific apps inside of the ZIP file that you download from Cyanogen, but I don't know if you can just install them right away. If you want to try, just extract the files, delete the APKs of the apps you don't want, and compile it again.
Even though, you actually HAVE to install Google Apps because you need, for example, the Play Store. There's no problem though with having both Google and Nexus apps (Which I think should be the same ones, being the Nexus like the "official" Google phones), I am pretty sure you can install all of them without getting original ones replaced and then deactivate the ones you don't want to use on the phone's Settings, in the Application Manager.
I hope my answers someday help someone. Regards, Nico.

Another one, just in case
What are the chances of making this available for the i9305? I know the partition and radio are different. However, if the partition part was adapted and the radio was removed from ultima rom (i.e. old radio remains on device), would this be doable?
I hate how my i9300 constantly is at almost full ram, wanna get the 2GB version. But the Dev support is minimal (at best)
If someone bought me one I'd do one for sure, but I can't afford one.
And unused RAM is wasted. Android uses as much RAM as possible on purpose. If you had enough apps on the LTE phone it would also try to run as much RAM as possible.

AROMA crashes
I haven't been able to get through the installer without my phone crashing.
First time coming from another rom, I tried to install UltimaROM 5.1. I performed a wipe data/factory reset and install zip from internal sd. Pick ultra wipe, siyah kernel etc and on the last step I press "Next>" and the phone crashes. I pull out the battery and reboot system, and voila UltimaROM is installed.
Second time I want to install UltimaROM 6.0. Perform wipe data/factory reset, and at the bloatware removal screen I scroll down only to cause a crash once again. I repeat the battery removal process go into the installer again, and it crashes again when I untick the Samsung Apps option. Third time it gets stuck at the last step again, and after I unplug the battery for the last time I have v6 installed.
Why did I have to go through all this trouble. Was I doing something wrong?
Try this!

With my experience, DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING in Ultima Aroma installer.
So how can i install ULTIMA if i came frome another rom? It's simple, just wipe data / cache / dalvic in Recovery, otherwise use a wipe script such as "Revolution rom super wipe script" in Recovery.
Hope that can help. :fingers-crossed:
---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
And i aldo stucked during the istallation, or stucked when i chose the app / mod / theme in aroma(quit often in V5),so be paitient, finally it will work.
(how to prevent that happen efficiently? i always make my self tick the checkboxes only once druing the installation )
Well I've updated to the latest AROMA installer version and I wipe all the time using the installer. I even have an AROMA installer just for wiping.

A bit of help with the AOSP messaging again. I love the way it looks and don't really like Samsungs messaging app because the text is rather large and not as smooth looking.
I have went into Google contacts on the website and changed the number of a friend of mine it looks similar to this +14045555555 is this the correct formatting? I did it that way because one of my contacts was set up that way and her messages would go into a thread, but others that I changed would still just pop up as new threads. Is there anything else that is required of me after I change the numbers?

Ok for me it's like this:
+447123456789
+44 = country code
07123456789 = phone number
Just strip out the leading 0 and put it on the country code
I want to test both the S3 and Note2 cameras side by side but I don't like to try to decompile, change package name and then recompile the app. So is there another way to do it (since I assume that they have same package name)? Or can someone tell me which they prefer from their own experience.

Messages are now threading!!!! I had set my contacts up the way of the working one while I awaited your response and went ahead and reflashed and my messages are threading. Thank you!!!!!
Also, is there anyway to make the icons smaller? I guess change the resolution is what i'm asking.
EDIT: I figured it out, I figured that post in the other thread about DPI must have been something about that. So I googled and came up with how to change the DPI and changed it to 240 and it's perfect. I will definitely tell about your rom.
THANKS!
I have been using ur rom for ages now never changed, your rom is awesome man. However, I flashed the latest version (v6.0) and for some reason it does not allow me to view the caller id even though I have them in my contacts which is a big problem for me. Did i do something wrong or is this a known issue.

Hi!
First of all I gotta say thank you for an amazing rom. I've been using 5.1 for about a week and have'nt encounterd any bugs at all. However today I downloaded the 6.0 and experienced a few problems. While I was flashing 6.0 aroma launcher freezed at about 95% so I had to pull the battery and redo it again. 2nd time it worked. Everything in the rom seems to work just as weel as in 5.1 accept for the video player that FC everytime I try to watch a video clip. Tried rebooting etc. Does'nt help.
Anyways great job with the rom!

Yes, I've got a fix for that already. I'm just holding out to see if this contacts problem is a ROM issue or not. I'm thinking it isn't and must be something else but I want to make sure so I can fix all three in one patch. But there is a solution for it, don't worry
Well I saw a lot of posts,queries & questions in the Dev Thread (I often have many ).. which were simply SPAM and were deleted..
But these are real problems with probably simple solutions...
So felt like creating a general discussion thread for this Awesome ROM by OldDroid...
Hope this would help solving our minor non-dev issues...
The Dev Thread here
N ya..If I have helped you anyway, Thanking me wouldn't cost you anything....
Installed it last night, so far everything works, just battery worries me a bit, not sure if it hold a whole day...
Usage since this morning
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8z0x35a5720zva1/2013-01-28 14.21.46.png
I only listened to music, no wifi, no 3g, auto brightness
It will last long. Try to set up the lowest brightness level. Im using almost the same like you. about 1 h of music a day, sometimes when needed 2G/3G for a bit. It drains fast from 100% to 60-50% and than it last normally long. I charge my battery for 1-1,5 day. Is all right.
hey, thanks for starting the tread, I couldn't post in the dev theme, since I'm a new member.
Installed it last week and it's far from dissapointing, but obviously not flawless...but what OS is?
So far:
- battery drains faster than usual, but you're right, falls down fast, but doesn't drain completelly for a while, just like the level in my car
- a minor bug regarding the audio jack: of you're already playing music when plugging the headphones it goes on OK, if you pull it out it will pause, which is also OK, but if you start the music again it won't play on the rear speaker, but on the front (telephone) speaker...
How did you guys pimp it up to make the battery last longer and the UI smoother?
In RC0 release, there's no lockscreen, my home button can't be used.
Now i'm back to previous release...
I really love this rom but the latest release dissappoint me...

SMSC Issue
Hi! I've installed this ROM like 3 or 4 times last week, but yesterday's install went a little wrong: I have the SMSC Issue, so can't send SMS.
Alredy tried the solutions all around the web that I found, like restarting in a lot of situations, modificiation or addition of numbers or hexadecimal codes from the "hidden" menu (dialing *#*#4636#*#*, etc.), taking my sim into another android phone or any non-android phone to restore the setting, again restarting a lot, reinstalling this ROM (both nightly and RC0). Still can't send SMS.
So, after a lot of research and experiences, I found out that the issue is not related to my SIM Card (because the numbers are OK and they don't show errors, but the correct info .Quadruple checked). It is (I believe) related with this ROM in both releases. I know that because I installed Lewa OS and everything works fine. I didn´t have to check nothing because It just worked fine. I can send SMS in other ROMS but not in this one anymore.
Maybe It's something in the system files, something in RILs that doesn't read the info (the info It's there, not erased), any corrupted APK, maaaaybe a file (or files) in the SD card that was written and since I didn't deleted anything, It's corrupting.
At the moment of writing this post, I installed Wayland_Ace's ROM, and I still can´t send SMS. Then installed LewaOS again and I CAN send SMS again.
What could this problem be?

To install Gapps:
Put Gapps on thee root of your SD (ie not in a folder)
Boot into CWM
Check to make sure that /system, /data, / sdcard are mounted (if not, mount them)
Choose zip from sd
Select the gapps package
Flash it
Check to make sure that /system, /data, /sdcard are mounted (if not, mount them)
Reboot
Note, Google Maps, Gmail, etc. are not included in the slim Gapps built for the Ace, you have to manually install it from the Play Store (and push it to /system/app if you want)

Great ROM, poor performance
I've installed this ROM and it's great to see that our old ACE can stay updated with the most recent Android version. Therefore, a big thanks to developer effort.
However, I'm facing several performance problems on the phone. Almost any action on it takes up to 3 seconds to complete and typing is absolutely painful, with a lot of lags. Also, FC and reboots are constant. Do you have any tips to improve performance? I've also installed Link2SD to get more space using an ext2 partition, I'm not sure whether this relates with any performance issues.
Thanks!
Hi everyone, I just want to ask if is there any way to turn the volume warning off? When I want to listen to music it's kind of annoying.

Just click OK. It shouldn't bother you again. (At least it doesn't on my Nexus 7)

Thanks, but it happens every time i restart the phone. I think I have to get used to it.
BTW: I downloaded the latest nightly build. The only changes I've seen so far are opening the quick settings using 2 fingers, and transparent notification panel. (and some Play Store issues) Have you guys notice any other changes so far?

about crt-animation
someones could make a patch for enable crt-animation in last relese 05-02-2013 please?
send from my ace
Other change I noticed is the Trebuchet settings are not in settings but on homescreen after pressing menu button and other ringtones for alarm and such. Google play woirks flawlessly for me btw and everything else pretty much too. Never had any fc's or audio problems as well. Battery is not bad. It can last a day without problems. No tweaks or scripts. I only use the TW5 launcher (personal prefference) and the s2e flashable zip for cm10.1. Everything works like a charm. Thanks olddroid
Nabi 2 ROOT Installer
Use this script to install TWRP Recovery, ROOT, and Google apps to your Nabi 2 tablet. Step by step instructions are included within the installer. While there is another more complex script (by aicjofs, and which was offline when I originally needed it), this one is smaller and simpler. It is based on jmzrootpackage, and I had some inspiration from Victoria's video. I started this with the intention of only making things just a little bit smoother. I ended up adding more than I had originally intended. This installer contains information through each step to help guide you through the rooting process. Linux instructions can be found here.
NOTE: (Jan, 2015) There are newer versions of the Nabi on the market now, and I do not have any with which to test this script, only the original Nabi 2. As a result, it is unlikely that this will get any further updates. The newer models most likely will not work very well, or simply not work at all with this script. If you are capable and so inclined, I officially invite you to use this script in your own rooting project. Just give credit where credit is due.
Summary:
Helps guide you step by step
ROOT your Nabi 2
Install Google apps
Will NOT wipe your data
No Android upgrading message
No wifi issues
Install TWRP
Simple update to TWRP
Reported to fix touch screen issues in TWRP
Includes ADB files
Automatically backs up before rooting
Includes PdaNet driver installer
New Remove Wings (for Nabi 2 v2.1+)

1. Check For Proper Drivers
Use this option to check if your computer has the PdaNet drivers communicating with your Nabi2. This is a simple check for existing connectivity. Nothing will be changed. This will also display your Nabi 2 serial number.
2. Install PdaNet Driver
In order for this installer to properly interface with the Nabi 2, you must have the PdaNet driver installed on your computer. This option will start the PdaNet driver installation process for you. Requires Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (32 or 64 bit). If you already have the drivers installed, you can skip this step.
3. Install Recovery and Root
This will install the touch enabled TWRP recovery to the tablet, as well as copy over the rooting file. Use the TWRP install button to select the rooting file and apply.
4. Install Google Apps
After your Nabi 2 is rooted, use this option to install Google apps. After it is copied over, use the TWRP install button to select the Google apps file and apply. Reboot the Nabi 2 (parent mode) and then update the Google apps to the current version of Google Play.
5. Update TWRP
Here you can choose from two experimental versions of TWRP, or drop-in your own custom version. You are given the options of testing and installing. That way you can make sure it works with your Nabi 2 before you flash it.
6. Remove Wings
This option only applies to Nabi 2 system version 2.1+. With version 2.1, Fuhu filled up the /system partition. As a result, there is not enough room to add Google Apps to the Nabi 2. Removing Wings will free up nearly 105 MB, and will allow Google Apps to be installed. You have the option of removing the files with or without backing them up first.
9. Exit
As you might expect, this closes the program window.
Misc. Notes:
Tested with US edition; With other versions you mileage will vary...

Does this method allow you to purchase and.or download apps from the Google Play store or is it just installing the Google Apps that have been known to work on the Nabi (sans purchasing apps from Play)?
Thanks
it worked!

Thanks for sharing this.
Any idea if this would work on the first nabi?
Also does this leave the parent / nabi mode intact?
This topic may be dead but I just ran this script for my niece's Nabi 2 to get some better games for her and everything worked except for the Gapps. Flashed 3 times using the script and once using the custom recovery(flashed Gapps.zip). Can someone please help?
I followed all the instructions.

I do not have access to the original Nabi, so I cannot confirm whether it will work or not. Most likely it would not work. As for the parent/nabi mode, YES. The process used in this script does not in any way delete or remove your data or Nabi 2 system information. It only adds ROOT and Google apps. Once you have root you could remove whatever you want.

This topic is not dead, I've just been unusually busy this year.
Have you tried wiping the cache/dalvik before flashing GApps? Please post back with some information about your Nabi 2. What is your Nabi kernal #? Have you verified that root is functioning correctly? Is there enough free space available on your Nabi 2 to allow installation of GApps? Is there anything else that you have attempted but did not list above?

Firstly thanks for the reply. Secondly the Nabi in question just received a update in the software and while I was under the impression that it was a nabi one the software clearly showed that the file was Nabi2 update. So with that being said, does this root installer still work on the latest update?

With the latest update (2.1), there seems to be some changes in the Nabi2 that prevent the Google apps from properly loading. Everything else seems to work fine (meaning your Nabi2 still gets rooted). There are some custom rom's in the wiki that include root and gapps.
I am looking into a fix regarding this. I have a possible work around, but it requires manually moving some files. Although, I have not tested it yet so it may not work.

Are you using Nabi2 kernal 2.1.27? Please post a link to where you got your Gapps so that I can take a look.
Gapp is from your software, please check attached file for version

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant the "play store" that you said that you installed from the "everything nabi" website. I need the link to there, so that I can see what it is that you installed. If they have more than one version listed there, then I need to know which one you downloaded and installed.
You have Nabi2 Product version 2.1-release-keys
I noticed from your screenshot that the Nabi2 has a new entry: Edition NABI2-NV7A-US which does not exist yet on the one that I have here (which is much older).
Have you done anything to verify that you have properly functioning root on the Nabi2?
I remember that screen cover. A little window cleaner, and those white lines come right off. I actually used that as the screen protector for a while. Until I got an actual screen protector that fit the entire screen completely.
Simple answer is the system partition is full. Gapps and full 2.1.27 don't fit. Have to delete something to have gapps fit on /system. I discuss a bit of it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45866724&postcount=1647
That solve my problem, thanks a lot for you both !

A new Beta version (1.5.0) has been posted. It addresses the full partition issue with the Nabi2 v2.1+ update, and introduces updated *.zip files as the beta element. For those interested, please read the updates on the first post, test, and post back your experience with it.
More would have been included, but due to unrelated RL issues I had to save the rest for a future update.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU, YOUR COMPUTER OR YOUR PHONE BY YOU FLASHING THIS ROM. EVEN IF IT'S NOT YOUR'S, I'M STILL NOT RESPONSIBLE. I'M ALSO NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING ISSUES YOU MAY BE HAVING BECAUSE OF MODS, HACKS AND TWEAKS YOU'VE APPLIED YOURSELF.
So I decided to create my own rendition of what LG should have made Verizon release. So, here's the first and currently only 47A custom ROM...
Things I've moved from the stock 47A base:
All OTA Stuff
95% of all Verizon stuff
All Google Stuff, except Chrome
All Amazon Stuff
LG Contacts
LG Dialer
LG EasyHome
LG Email
LG Favorites Widget
LG Voice Mate
LG SMS
Some ringtones
and some random bloat
I added the following:
The hotspot hack...
Googles Dialer (v2.3, not 1.01) has builtin VVM
Google Contacts
Outlook
Signal SMS
Motorola Alert
Some ringtones
Features:
Systemless Root
BusyBox
Permission SELinux Boot
Boosted Volume Output
Systemwide DPI = 590
Deodexed
Known Issues:
To come...
Installation:
MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!
If you aren't already on the 35B bootstack, flash it.
I recommend TWRP 3.0 because it's what I used when recompiling everything.
Wipe data & cache...
Flash the full release and any updates WITH A HIGHER BUILD NUMBER.
Reboot and enjoy! (If you are asked to install SuperSU, DON'T!!!)
After flashing the full ROM, it will reboot one time before booting fully.
Keep an eye for updates. Keep your phone updated.
I am uploading updated full release builds every couple of days so if you need to reinstall for what ever reason, you won't have to download a ton of updates.
I've modified the original system.img instead of created extracted folder type of ROM for flashing like most people do. I find this MUCH safer for flashing.

Questions & Answers...
Q: I don't see the VVM table in dialer?
A: This relies on your using Google Voice. Like the actual Google Voice app. You can have it co-installed with Hangouts and it won't effect anything. Verizon DOES NOT allow Google Voice to auto configure the settings. You'll have to do that manually. When it gets to the page that has 3 buttons, one will be skip, one is configure and the other is something else. Press skip. When you have completed that part and you are looking at Google Voice inbox screen. Go to the phones dialer. Type *71[Your Google Voice number] *90[Your Google Voice number] and *92[Your Google Voice number]. In 'call settings' of the phone's dialer, you'll see an option for voicemail carrier, make sure it's on "your carrier" not google voice.
Q: xCam doesn't work for me?!!
A: There's a new version on the Dev's page for Marshmallow. The other versions won't work.
Q: Google announced a newer version of their dialer and contacts app, why can't I update?
A: Once Google actually releases the next version, you can always download it from APKMirror and install it as if it was an updated app manually.
Q: Can I use Verizon's Visual Voicemail with this ROM?
A: Yes, download it from here and flash in TWRP.
Q: I don't seem to have root after flashing the full release and the updates... What can I do?
A: Flash this file...
Q: When I receive phone calls, no one can here me! What's going on?
A: The problem is you aren't running 35B bootstrap or if you are, your modem isn't 35B for some reason. Flash the 35B bootstrap.
Q: I am not running 35B bootstrap, where can I download it?
A: Click here...
Q: I can use "Ok, Google!" from any screen with this ROM?
A: Yes, download the patch from here and flash in TWRP.

Cool I will check it out and get back at u Thanks!
It's great to see devs still making roms for this phone. Thank you. Will check it out.
Thanks Roxana for sharing your Rom. Quick question since others may ask. Since you're using Google dialer then I'm assuming that advanced calling/video calling doesn't work through Verizon as well?
xposed supported?

That is correct. I'll be releasing a patch file people can flash to restore the stock dialer so they can have that.
Edit: I was just looking at the thread for the stock 46a rom release, Advance Calling doesn't work on it's correctly and a few have said it's due to us not having a 46a Bootstrap. It's one of the reasons I prefer Google Voice.

Why did you remove the stock sms/mms? So far rom seems fast and stable. In the stock google dialer when you make a call it looks like the lg dialer? Any ideas to make it look completely like google dialer.

I removed the stock SMS/MMS app because it's hideous. Android 6, aka Marshmallow, has a very refinded UX. LG is just starting to work in that direction. They just haven't got there yet. I could have put Google Messager instead of Signal. Signal is VERY similar to GM as far as the UX goes but has way more features and security to it.
Thank you for your work! I'm up and running, only thing i had trouble with was chrome not working due to an error. I tried clearing cache and data without luck so I ended up unistalling via TB and reinstalling from play store without issues. Everything else is smooth and quick! Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know. I'll see what's up. What error was it that it gave? It is a beta. I'm going to be working on fixing any issues that everyone finds and getting the next release out soon. Also, if people can post their download speeds and what speed connection you have. I'm curious how Google is doing for hosting the file or if I need to find a faster place to store it.
For me I could not download direct to my phone, kept giving a fail message. To my PC it was okay. But AFH is always a good spot to upload things, my 2 cents.

I unfortunately can't remeber what the error was now and it's fixed so infant replicate. Sorry not much help. I did have trouble with the download as well. Took me about 5 or 6 times to get a complete download. Other than that it's been running great all day. Will the update be a dirty flash or clean wipe? I'm also giving the outlook Mail app a shot, I like it so far. Thanks again!

I'm glad you are enjoying everything and that it's all running smoother. I've tried to produce an error with Chrome on first boot but I'm not able to. Might have been you're phone was already updating Google Services or something like that.
I'm already uploading the new update to Microsoft. It's going to be the full ROM just so I have a full copy on there. After this, it should be all incremental updates. This one and all that follow can be dirty flashed unless it's posted otherwise, which I hope never to have to do. Of course if you are having issues after flashing an update, wiping cache is always a good idea since I'm also working on framework stuff for future releases.

v3A
NOTE
The first boot will take a lot of time! Screen will be glitchy, bootvideo will be laggy and you may not even see anything except for black screen but this is normal and doesn't affect the device in any way. This only happens on the first boot because the encrypted kernel and bootloader try to reject the device but it boots anyway and everything will be OK in the second boot.
v3A
• Based on latest AndroidTV OS, latest Security patches.
• Google Play Works
• All Google Apps Work!
• Recommendations work great! To turn off go to Settings - Home
• Casting Works with Airscreen
• Fully Compatible with A95X Max!
• atvXed up with Multiple USB drivers!
v3B To-Do:
Add USB drivers
Add Navbar and Status Bar
Change Settings shortcut to TVSettings
Change App Drawer Wallpaper
Add some more preinstall apps

Special Thanks to my boi Nitin for making this when I was busy
Rom is *meh*, as it completely throws away the stock android Oreo layout and switches to a straight up TV Box setup like a Roku. Most apk's refuse to work with this setup. The included Youtube app sucks and needs to be REMOVED FROM THE ROM as a system app or at least replaced with YT Vanced. Also, Chrome is simply gone...and you cant find it in the "store" either. The apk can be manually installed with a USB/SD card. Netflix app installed within the store does not work with this rom so its like what are we doing here?... but there is a work around. There is no option to boot straight to recovery either, if there even is one. We need TWRP for this to let us do what we want...Get rid of the Android TV BS and let people install their own launcher and you will profit more than just re-skinning the stock OS with this.
Then don't use it... I use it because of the Android TV layout. He was very up front in the beginning as to what this was and what would and would not work. No 3rd party box is going to work with Netflix or Amazon Apps at this time due to widevine DRM.
If what you have described is what you want, then by all means make your own ROM.

Read the title again maybe?
This is an AndroidTV OS and no it's not BS. Maybe it's only you who likes to use a mouse and keyboard on a tv. This is meant for those who don't want the airmouse BS and want a clean look, to have the real AndroidTV Box and not just a phone-UI Android Box and not the *meh* launchers that are meant for phone screens.
All apks work, if it works in the phone rom, it works in ATV. 'Maybe' you're doing something wrong or lack the knowledge of apps installation.
The google play store is meant for AndroidTV, it shows apps which are compatible with your remote, not mouse or keyboard.
Also, Netflix thing, everybody knows you need a Netflix certified box for it, it's even mentioned on their website.
And everybody knows you can use Aptoide Store for other apps that aren't on play store.
If you want your own launcher, go ahead make a ROM but please don't call my work a 'simple reskin' because I am working my ass off for a box that's totally encrypted to the core and has a 'meh' phone UI.
So, please don't think I'm playing copy and paste here, I've worked hard on this and if my work is *meh*, please use another ROM (if it exists).
Thank you for the feedback on v3A

Did I ***** and complain? I simply stated some of this rom's caveats and giving a heads up to people who might prospectively install this not realizing its going to completely change the OS to a dedicated Kodi box.
No browser at all? Youtube that you cant get rid of? If you dont like my opinion you can straight up not listen to it. I doubt you even installed it in the first place or you wouldn't be responding with your sh*t posts.

You can install Puffin Browser from Google Play. It's the best TV Browser out there, 100% remote compatibility.
It's pre-rooted, you can easily uninstall YouTube if you know what root means. AptoideTV Store is there to help.
I thought I included webXperience, It's our own browser. If I didn't, I'll do it in the next release which is going to shut everybody up because as I mentioned, this is the first release and the next will be address all the issues you mentioned and the features that I mentioned.
If you want a phone rom on a tv box, please go elsewhere because this is an AndroidTV thread, please don't argue here, the mods take notice of everything.
Thank you for understanding.

I am familiar with rooting aka administrative privileges over apps/os and have had many phones/tablets/matricom boxes all eventually rooted with either magisk or super su, some I actually paid for. This rom doesnt allow me to uninstall anything, just disable which is not the same. How can I grant root access to any app, such as bloatware removal tools? There is no root management on this thing. (that I am aware of?) and there is no recovery I can see to get into to flash anything besides the temp TWRP method with an sd card + paper clip which has not worked with anything on this rom.

Try switching on the root switch from settings and reboot.
Another tip, install SuperSU 2.79 and it will fix your root management issues.
The recovery is stock, just like the original ROM. Use quick reboot app to reboot to recovery.
If it still doesn't work, I'll double check and fix anything if wrong. As I said, this is the first release so expect issues unless you know how to fix things but don't worry, the v2B or v2F (whatever I name it) is going to fix all the issues. Trust me, you'll never feel the need to use Navbar and Statusbar again with the new build.

Switching off/on root switch doesn't do anything even with restarting.
SuperSu 2.79 does not successfully flash in temp TWRP with paperclip method or with stock recovery (see pic).
Since there is no root management, quick reboot and other root required apps install but dont work.
Ad-Away also will not save host files either, and I prefer to use that in combination with chrome over Puffin.
If I pissed you off with my earlier post, I apologize and that was not my intent. I understand this rom is pretty much in beta at this point but its very frustrating when nothing works for me, pretty much at all except for what worked with the stock OS.
FYI I have the v81 board.

You are not supposed to flash super su. Just install it.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't install either way (flashing vs apk).
All I can think of is to completely re-flash the new link firmware over my version I installed when you made it first available, maybe there is a difference?

Thanks for letting me know, it's strange it's not working for you. My friend reported it working. I'll fix the su in the new version. Meanwhile, you can flash stock rom because I don't want you to get any issues.
New build will be ready in a week or so and it's going to be great!
Thanks for all the feedback.

Thats fine, so now we know why I was a bit brash in my original post.
It still needs a bit of polish. Thanks for you work.

If you watch this video, you can see that Nicholas tested that the ROM is rooted. That's why I said, I don't know why it's not working for you.

Maybe you can try switching root switch off, reboot, then on and reboot.
I'll update the su anyway, nobody should be getting any problems but this box is one hell of a fighter. They've encrypted everything! I could only get access to system because kernel, recovery and everything else was encrypted.

Re-flashing the newer firmware link over last weeks firmware link allowed SuperSu apk to install successfully. Apparently we are good to go now...

Sweet!
Do lookout for new version as it will include these features:
1. Replace settings shortcut with TV Settings
2. Include pre-install apps like Web browser, Netflix and other apps.
3. Double tap home button for Recent Apps and use arrow keys to clear the apps.
4. Hold Power button for quick shutdown.
5. Add Init.d tweaks for more performance.
6. Add Back-Panic Button.
7. Hold Back button for assistant.
8. Add Navbar and Status bar functionality (if possible)
9. Add Gamepad drivers

I spoke too soon lol. SuperSu 2.79 installs after a fresh firmware flash but bootloops (waiting 20 minutes and still stuck on logo screen). Re-flashing and installing SuperSu 2.82 does the same thing. Oh well.
Re-flashing the image brings its back but just beware root doesnt work. I give up, good luck to everyone getting root.
