Hi all,
Well for everyone who want's to have the Google apps like:
Android market
Youtube
Gmail
etc.
Here is a link to a share where the gapps4archos can be downloaded.
http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: You cannot install this appInstaller if you installed gApps4Archos or any other gApps installer. Anytime you switch appInstaller programs, you MUST reset your device back to stock. If you've NEVER installed ANY market/gApps installer, then your good... no need to reset.
NOTE: If you've ONLY used my appInstaller, then you can REMOVE the old files using my app and re-install the apps at the same time, then REBOOT.
1) Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
2) Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)
3) Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it
4) Choose install packaged apps or choose to install your own packaged 'apps.zip' file located on the internal drive (not sdcard)
4a) There maybe a short delay after you tap an install button (its installing and you'll be notified when its done, about 5-10 seconds)
5) REBOOT!!
6) Follow the Market FIX instructions below
MARKET FIX:
This will get you most missing apps from the market, except some "protect market apps"
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market (Clear Cache then 'Force Stop' -- DO NOT clear data)
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Google Services Framework (Clear data then 'Force Stop')
REBOOT again
Market Fix video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=player_embedded#!
If you do this correctly you will find most missing apps like 'Copilot Live USA' in the Market. However, some apps will not show because they are "protected" Market apps. These include 'NY Times'. Google search "android protected market apps" if your not familar.
NOTE: The latest version of GMAIL and Youtube can be downloaded in the market...
Thanks to our friends from the archosfans.com forum
Thankyou for this, I have seen how much work you have put into it. Tried gAppsInstaller_v3.apk this morning and seems to be working well, no FC's etc so far...
(edit)Oppss ment to say thankyou Kenyu73 for the app and thanks Dreetje for posting, thought you was Kenyu under a different name...

Well i didn't made it, Kenyu73 did make it It makes my device complete, really love the Archos device!
Thanks! I've looked at these instructions a dozen times on ArchosFans and always missed that market was clear cache not clear data and never figured out why it didn't work right for me. With the latest gapps I'm now seeing most everything. Awesome guide!
Edit: For some reason when I use this installer however, TweetDeck will not run properly. It always Force Closes once I've signed into my account and I cannot fix it. This is one of my favorite apps. If someone could figure this out I would appreciate it.
Edit 2: This installer causes a ton of apps not to launch in my experience thus far. TweetDeck as mentioned, Moblox, Angry Birds, they all just FC or hang endlessly. I'd still recommended the other installer with the same steps outlined in this post.
Stupid question but does "reset your device back to stock" mean anything else than a reboot? Like an Android reset or something?

thanks for the advise on market acces update, now finally updated gmail apk
I have the Google Marketplace up and running and for the most part it works wonderfully. My biggest issue are protected applications I use on my HTC EVO aren't showing up and some of these application I really use / enjoy. Some of these are:
1) BatteryView
2) Battery Watch
3) Splash ID!
4) Monster App Pro (I'm using the non-Pro right now)
I've been trying to add the "Market Access" application to the mix to help me with this issue, but thus far can't get z4root to work. Oh, it says it was successful, but none of the programs that need root can get it from the Super User application.
I can live without these protected applications, they are simply nice to have -- except Splash ID!, which IMHO, is necessary to protect my development personal, professional, and development information. I was able to get a work around for Splash ID, for which I'm thankful.

Excuse my ignorance, but how is this at all new? There's been a gapps hack available for every Archos device for quite some time now. It's always been readily available on ArchosFans.com.

It's a different version which allows for more flexibility, especially for updating the two most useful core apps.

It also has less apps in it, saving space for where the apps are installed, especially since Archos only provided around 275~ MB of space for app installation
And not all apps can move to sd card so any space is helpful
All we need now is the Samsung Galaxy Tab email app ported over. If anyone has any idea please share.
Thanks for posting the info for my gAppsInstaller. I've been away from the game for a few days now doing housework "mods" (=
The only issue remaining that I'm aware of with this app is a certain sub-set of apps that FC (AutoZone, OSMonitor and a few others mentioned in this thread. I haven't had time to research, but whatever the gApps4Archos is doing is making these work ok... I'm thinking its some registration of dll files ('so' files perhaps). I do know it copies 4-5 .so files into the froyo/system directory, but i'm not sure right now if I need to do some type of '.so' file registration with them.
If any linux guru's out there know of something I need to do specifically with these (besides copying them to the '/froyo/system' directory, please let me know.
libspeech.so
libvoicesearch.so
libzxing.so
libimageutils.so
libinterstitial.so

There is the guru! I thought i share it with the XDA members
Your question: I searched for an explenation about registering the .so files and found this link: http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/lupg/tutorials/libraries/unix-c-libraries.html#shared_dlopen
just checking - these instructions are for 2.2 only ?

I dont think he created the original gApps4Archos package, he only de-compiled it, added the updated the apps with the newer 2.2 market then vanished.
I think he dropped of the radar after he did the re-package of that app.

My app doesn't include youtube (i required you to get it from the market) so I'm not sure why you say it wont update.
Did you use this one or gApps4Archos?
yes i use that and youtube comes with it but it keeps fc and it wont download from market
ok so i went through the root process. now what? i know what a noob. but how do i know that i am actually rooted. what are the aps that i want? of course any additional info you may like to share is appreciated.
thanks in advance

Download Super User and Titanium from the market. Try to freeze some of your bloatware. If it let's you, you are rooted.
when i open superuser should i expect to see apps in the app tab? superuser opens but i see no apps in the app tab.

You won't see any till they request permission.
Dead give away to if you're rooted is that when you flashed the second PG05IMG.zip the top of the screen would have said "s-off".
This will tell you if you have root or not:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&feature=search_result
Also, if you download apps like Titanium Backup, it requires root to function properly, so you'd know then too.
Some of the programs that you would want is kernel manager and clockwork manager. Read through dev. Forum and decide which kernel and rom u want to be running. If ur rooted why stay pn stock.

If you power on your phone while holding the volume down button, you will load into the bootloader. At the top it should say "MECHA XD ENG S-OFF" at the top. You are rooted.
As the others said, install ClockworkMod and TitaniumBackup.
TitaniumBackup will allow you to freeze (Or uninstall) bloatware that was put on your phone. I usually just freeze the apps because uninstalling can sometimes cause issues. Look at the app in titanium and tap on it, which will bring up a menu. Hit "Freeze" and it will stop the program, remove it from your app drawer and not load it in the future. TB also allows you to backup your apps (And sync them to your dropbox if you have one).
Clockwork mod is what you use to flash ROMs. ROMs are customized UI's for your phone that can add or take away a number of features. I personally use Das Bamf 1.6, which is amazing. A ROM that retains the "Sense" UI will still look a lot like the native HTC screen, keeping many of the features. A "Desensed" screen removes HTC's UI, causing it to be the more native Andoid phone OS (Think Nexus 1).
ROMs can also add features such as over/underclocking the processor, different animations (Startup, etc) and adding modes like "Hibernate."
To install a ROM, first backup your current ROM.
Open ClockworkMod>Scroll down and hit "Backup Current Rom">Enter backup name (Usually the date, but you can name it whatever)
It will ask you if its ok to restart into CWM recovery. Hit yes. The phone will restart and Clockwork will back up your settings. After that you can restart the phone and it will start up your phone like normal again.
Now that you have a back up (In case you hate the rom you install or something goes wrong) you can install a ROM! To do that we go back to ClockworkMod.
Hit the button labeled "Download ROM." This will bring up a number of ROMs that have been linked into CWM. For this example I will use das BAMF. Hit das BAMF and you will see many different versions. If you hit one of them, it will download the ROM and CWM will flash it. CWM will ask you if you want to clear all data. Adrynalyne says you do not need to, and I have not needed to, but if you have problems, reflash and wipe all data first with the options.
Kind of a quick an dirty. There are much better guides here on the forums for doing all of this. Search the forums. Read carefully.
thanks for the info. with your help i am indeed rooted.
a stickey regarding this would be helpful and appreciated. included would be whether or not a rooted thunderbolt could possibly be "bricked" with any verizon/htc updates. are there issues with manufacture updates of rooted phones?
Congrats on being rooted! I rooted my Thunderbolt within 2 hours of buying it! A little observation I have made is that my Thunderbolt loses 3G more often after updating the Radio. I have tried everything to remedy this situation, ie all different assortments and variations posted here on XDA.
Hey guys!
I have been using Omni ROM for a while. And yes, its a pretty stable KitKat ROM! Almost everything works fine without any issue. But the thing that bugged me was root. There wasn't root permission in the the ROM. So no link2sd and no other script works for expanding storage.
So basically, the only major problem in the ROM was ROOT.
So I worked it out and present before you an easy method.
Prerequisites:
Omni ROM
Root flashable zip
Method:
Download the required packages
Install Omni ROM (Refer installation from this)
Reboot
Now go back to recovery and flash root.zip
Reboot
Enjoy
NOTE:
You need to have atleast 3mb in /system
This zip is only for ARM based devices and won't work with x86 based devices
P.S. Personally this is the best ROM to use as daily driver

Congrats! Downloading and will give a try
Looks very much like a normal superuser or superSU install.
Very good that will work on other devices as well. I mean, ours would not have all the google apps on system. No room for one of them
The su binary is much smaller than cm-11's.
Comment, should probably go on xbin, be symlinked to bin.
Normally, superuser.apk is installed as a user app and would be updated as such from play. But may try it this way!
Great work.

They should NOT be on system/app, especially on our phones. Install from Play as user apps, let link2sd symlink them.
Anyway, flash worked like a charm! Neatly got rid of CWM's superuser, installed superSU which I will leave as a system app for now.
Note that it behaves like what I tried, spawns multiple instances of su and daemonsu (should daemonsu be symlinked to su--why have two copies?).
Link2sd played immediately. Tasker took some time. Xposed almost did not make it. Finally, after a blank screen freeze, reboot, a few attempts, got the dialog! Talking a good ten minutes or aggrivation. What is unique about how this asks for root?

Yes, it takes a bit of time sometimes. It's slow and can't help it .
So here's my suggestion, in settings, set default access to 'grant'. It's a bit faster this way

The problem is unique to Xposed. Everything else comes either immediately to quickly enough. I will post to that dev thread about this.

MUST trim the ROM. Omni is no different here, maybe even bigger.
The superSU installation wil temporarily move some stuff to make room for the root install, then move it back. However, none of that stuff belongs on system. There is not enough room for even one of those gapps. GAPPSLight is trivial and should not fill you up. In other words, trim the ROM first.

First thing I tried (with my simple daemon start method). Never came up. But up and running now, all's well that ends well.
Question: SuperSU offers to make a backup script first time the UI is exercised. Promises to survive further flashes. Does this indeed work (and ... how)?
I will copy files and edit a version of the setup script from this zip and have them available on my sdcard just in case
Modded Omni Rom
@rhar****,
I have a request 4 u. Please make a modded OMNI rom 4 us. Yesterday I flashed the Jenkins 10th march version. I can't use for more than a while, 'cause i can't install any file manager or any .apk, moreover things went wrong after i flash gapps.. But I loved it and want to hav it as a daily driver. So, if u don't hv any project / busy schedule then pls.try. Anyway 2day i will flash this build.

Smell a rat! Trim that ROM first.
Omni has it own file manager called "Documents." The CMFileManage can be installed as a user app.
BUGs on Omni -- I still am using a daily driver, though:
1. Clock FC's. Widgets appear fine (I use Chronus) but no alarms, stopwatch, wordclocks, etc.
2. GPS apparently not functioning, though location services seem to work. Some apps dependent on GPS FC.
3. Long widget, background process startup times but much better than cm-11
4. About 10 meg worth of apps symlinked by link2sd will be un-symlinked (more probably dereferenced) on start up. Easily cleaned up every few starts. Make sure to recreate link2sd build scripts freshly, reboot after new flash or internal storage mishaps worse than this.
5. Will usually get a wait message on system on startup. Everything works anyway, just open home screen and dismiss.
Those dl builds are genuine "nightlies," scheduled, regardless of whether or not any changes made that will be noticed.

For time being, to install any apk, get a file manager. If you cant, then from Documents, navigate to the apk and hold on it. It will be highlighted. Now copy it and from documents' side panel (swipe from left) go to Downloads and paste it there. Now go to Downloads from app drawer and install from there.
The root is working pretty fine. I tried a lot of times. Sorry to say it now when maybe a week passed, but I forgot to comment. Omni seems to be a good project. And this is the first taste of omni and kit kat, so doble pleasure.

Xposed Xhalo will work in cm-11 but not in omni! Omni takes the window's flag for ... its own multiwindow. So ... where is that?
Xposed multiwindow (its own UI) might work in omni or alongside halo or xhalo ... uses a different flag to avoid the conflict.
In any event, Xposed might be the best way to get these things.

Hi rhar****,
I sucessfully flashed the root.zip into my device(Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 GT-P5110, OMNI6.0.1 based on Android 6), but the SuperUser couldn’t work without a binary file.
The screenshot is in Chinese, it said that ‘The SU Binary file is not installed, and it can’t be downloaded and installed via SuperUser. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, go to the forum and download the binary file, then install it manually. ’
Can you please offer me the binary file? Or give me an URL?
Long story short, this is a zip to debloat your S8 and probably other Samsung devices. Please modify it to suit your firmware. *As long as your rom is from Samsung, regardless of nougat or oreo, most of the package names should be the same thus this zip should still remove quite a lot of them by default, you will need some minor edits to match your rom perfectly though.
The attached zip is what I'm currently using, there's something that I had commented out because I use that feature and never tried disabling it. Please feel free to experiment with it and modify the script as per your need. However, do pay close attention to some of the lines as activating them will cause your phone fail to boot.
If you had any error or knowledge about what certain file does, please provide feedback so that we can improve this script. The ultimate goal is to know what we can stripe off from TouchWiz ROM until close AOSP state without breaking features that we use, that includes .apk files, files of any format and even related lines in build.prop.
Also, for anyone who wishes to use this script in any way, please feel free to do so. No need to inform or give credit.
Since I do not backup my file before testing, I'm using Github to do this for me. The most updated version will be on Github.
For more information please visit Github.

Hall of fame
1. Debloating Samsung Experience Service might lead to Samsung Account FC / bootloop. By: Saibot.XI
After this zip your phone will be left with:
Stock Samsung Audio (Adapt sound, SoudAlive, etc)
Stock Samsung AOD
Stock Samsung Calculator
Stock Samsung Calendar
Stock Samsung Camera & all plugin
Stock Samsung Clock
Stock Samsung Contacts
Stock Samsung Device maintenance w/ McAfee removed
Stock Samsung Gallery & related editor
Stock Samsung Game Launcher & services
Stock Samsung Live wallpaper picker
Stock Samsung Messages
Stock Samsung Music
Stock Samsung Phone
Stock Samsung Smart capture (Screenshot w/ crop, drawing features)
Stock Samsung Launcher
Stock Samsung Video Player
Samsung Desktop Smart Switch support .apk file
Google play etc among some preloads
And some files that IDK what they do/what will happen after removal
Over hundred of apk files will be removed.
Theme center and Samsung account will also be removed, if you want to use theme, please comment them out before flashing.
They can be removed after you applied your theme and will stick after reboot. This is what I did too.
How do i add themestore and remove it after applying theme? Also, flash in twrp?
Got it working nvm. Awesome work!
I'm on AQGL and used Flashfire but the script doesn't seem to work. I updated the script to reflect the boot device as /dev/block/platform/soc/1da4000.ufshc/by-name/system but that didn't work either. Any other hints or suggestions?

I do expect people here to experiment with it, as I said in Github this is not (completely) noob-friendly.
You can cross check the script with your ROM, majority of the Samsung preloaded app will be the same, the difference usually is carrier apps. Maybe I shouldn't mention that I'm using AQL5.
XDA developer yeah, not XDA noobs.

I'm on AQGL and used Flashfire but the script doesn't seem to work. I updated the script to reflect the boot device as /dev/block/platform/soc/1da4000.ufshc/by-name/system but that didn't work either. Any other hints or suggestions?
TIA.

It's an app that flashes zip files similar to TWRP. I have the snapdragon 955u variant so cant use twrp since the bootloader is locked. I do have root though.

I see, good to know. Im using an exynos version so cant really figure that out.
You can even delete folder/file one by one by using terminal/root explorer according to my updater-script, that shouldn't make much of a difference.
Will this work on oreo zra5? Actually tried flashing this but it didnt remove anything at all
I personally use the Package Disabler because I'm not that worried about space but the script helped me extremely on what to disable. Very helpful. (also on aql5 btw)

That's weird, it should be able to delete what nougat and oreo have in common and there's quite a few.

System space is quite useless, but it makes people like me feel better when useless stuff is actually gotten rid of.
Plus it is able to remove files, that's beyond the ability of package disabler.
Work on 7.0 aql5? Renovate 7.5

Im using stock aql5, how do you define 'work' tho?
EDIT: This zip basically removes stuff, so if your ROM contains the stuff that match the updater-script, it gets removed. Nothing magic happening here.

This script doesn't remove the function that allows you to draw on your screenshot cause I'm using that too, one of the actually handy feature added by Samsung...
The reboot part, I'm not sure. Somehow when I try to add back apks directly to system via explorer, my /data partition gets corrupted with
Code:
persist.security.tlc.otp structure needs cleaning
in TWRP, only format data fixes this, and this happened to me twice so I'd recommend you to flash them in instead using the rescue zip template I provided in Github.
The script is really good, I just read it line by line but since I see some issues reported for some people I prefer to try it out later
Edit: i was thinking on replace all Samsung needed apps with Google ones like phone and dialer, anyone knows a port from those?
ProtonAOSP
Android 11 ROM
ProtonAOSP is a minimal Android fork (custom ROM) focused on UI/UX and performance, with a touch of privacy.
Usage with my Proton Kernel is recommended to get the most out of your phone. The ROM does not include Proton Kernel, so you will need to flash it yourself. The ROM will still work with other kernels, but you will not get the benefits of Proton Kernel.
Screenshots
Screenshots of the latest version
Installation
This ROM is currently distributed as factory images, similar to stock. Flash it the same way you would flash stock factory images. Don't forget to wipe all data using "fastboot -w" before booting the ROM.
Firmware is included, so there is no specific requirement for which version of the stock ROM you are coming from.
You can also use the quick & easy web installer, which allows you to install and update the ROM from any computer or phone without using the command line. The installer works entirely within your web browser and completes in as little as 4 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Consider using the web installer instead of installing manually.

Thank you very much for posting this. I'll definitely be checking it out. Your Proton kernel is quite good already. Interested to see how the ROM functions too.
Really appreciate you building and sharing this for us!
I saw in the P5 thread that it may be possible to get call screening to work if the dialer gets systemized. It's a feature that has really come in handy for me so just want to confirm it will get call screening working.
To confirm, I just need to put GoogleDialer.apk into product/priv-app?
Alternatively, could I just use something like Titanium backup to make it a system app?
TIA

Check out the magisk module systemizer, it's pretty good. I think you're right about all that.
Says microg support. So is does that mean microg is included? Or are standard "gapps" included?

microG is supported on the non-gapps build, not included. The gapps build includes full gapps.
Thank you for awesome rom, big plus for microg support. Will flash as soon as my Bramble arrives.
did flash all. now google logo, then a fire with beaker on screen.
edit: nevermind...guess that was the loading screen. took a few minutes. didn't seem like a "loading screen"
I am new to ADB AS my old phone used TWRP. Do I need to unlock the bootloader? Is it recommented to Start Form stock ROM, because I am currently on LineageOS? It is MicroG ready, does it mean that install MicroG via F-Droid, or do I install it like it is drscribed there at the Installation instructions?

You do need to unlock the bootloader. Switching from LineageOS should work, but you will need to wipe data as always.
microG should be installed from F-Droid after installing the ROM.

Thank you very much. I flashed it and it rebooted directly to the OS. Afterwards I installed your Kernel. The OS feels fast, but in comparison to Lineage for the same Phone, it feels slower. If you swipe for the action center, it is very slow and laggy. If you swipe for task manager and swipe through the recent apps, it lags. Are there any similar experiences?

The lag in those specific locations is caused by the frosted glass blur effect. Disable it in developer options if you want to trade it off for performance instead. The blur performance problems should be addressed in future versions.

Thank you for your reply. I am looking forward to a new release. For now I stick to LOS. Could you tell me the procedure for updating your ROM? Is it possible to dirty flash the update, so I don't need to backup my data externally?

I tried to use Magisk Systemizer and Titanium Backup to move this into a system app, but there's not enough free space in what I'm assuming is the system partition (Titanium Backup just labels it the "System ROM").
I tried to uninstall some of the system apps using Titanium Backup and SD Maid Pro but both failed to be able to remove any "expendable" system apps.

Yes, you can dirty flash updates to my ROM. Clean flashes are only necessary when switching from another ROM.

With dynamic partitions, the system partition is perfectly sized to hold exactly the amount of data the ROM has in it, so there will always be no free space. You need to use Magisk to systemize apps.

Dynamically sized partitions explains the "no free space" (and it makes total sense to layout the system partition this way). I was trying to use Magisk Systemize, took me revisiting it to realize that I didn't have Busybox installed. Installing the Magisk BusyBox module enabled me to Systemize the Phone app. Many thanks!

Hello kdrag0n, I am thinking about switching phone service from Verizon to Google FI and I would like to root a Pixel 4a or an Pixel 4a.(5G). Can anyone tell me if this Rom has the Hotspot wifi tethering option included in the Rom? Thank You
