Curious about some of these since most of them don't seem to be documented on the main thread, so I'm not sure if it's something on my end or something not working with the ROM. Any workaround suggestions would be appreciated.
--Built-in video camera app doesn't work (documented).
--Video playback doesn't work correctly. Audio is fine, video lags. Eventually audio stops to resync with laggy video. Happens with video files recorded before installing the ROM, which used to play fine on stock GB, as well as tested with video files dumped from my PC. Tried Gallery's player, MX player, and Rock player.
--Chrome crashes frequently (most notably when hitting the tabs button).
--Twitch.tv app plays audio with a black screen (youtube and other things work fine).
--Hardware buttons don't light up.
--Voice Search doesn't work.
--Google Books crashes immediately (documented). (seems to be fixed as of 8-23B)
--Live wallpapers don't work (black background). (seems this magically fixed itself without any updates or workarounds)
--Battery % seems to act weird above 90%, lately it's been stopping charging at 95% (or so it says), and the battery info on the lock screen says "Charged" rather than "Charging" at 95%. Reboot, battery pull, wipe batt stats, re-flash ROM, etc. didn't fix. This didn't happen for the first few days after initial install. (seems to be an Atrix problem with 4.0+ rather than a ROM specific problem)
Edit: 8-23-12B
Live Wallpapers working just fine here on latest 0815
The only issue I have really found is that I cannot get my chrome to phone to work... but I can use phone to chrome.
Anyone else have this issue and come up with a solution?

Chrome doesn't works for me too, I've read it needs the hardware acceleration from the driver that Motorola hasn't released yet...

I am not talking about chrome itself I was talking about the chrome to phone app that works with the desktop chrome add on. I should have specified a little more.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chrometophone&hl=en
I use this all the time with going between my phone, my work, and my home computers.
So is there a work around to install flash on CM10. Also mkv files do not work even with mx player correct? Anything else that doesn't work? A complete list would be appreciated!

Uh... Try searching.
Video camera does work on some apps, hardware buttons light up when you select "auto-brightness," Voice search works when you install the appropriate offline voice file, and battery % can be fixed with ravilov's battery app.

It works. Like anything else, you need to sign off/sign in to the service for it to recognize it again. Need to do that every time you flash a rom.

That doesn't work. I have logged in and out on phone and computer, I have installed fresh, I have tried clearing data, and reistalling with data from titanium. Any other ideas? I tried everything I can think of. And I can use the phone to chrome fine just not the chrome to phone...
Most things are running very well. I've tried about a half a dozen roms over the past week or so. One of the only problems I've found is issues with google now. It wont speak back to me, it's just shows the google results. Even on basic questions that it usually would speak an answer back to you, like scores of a baseball game or something like that. But that's not a big problem for me. Also, there's some issues with Chrome and some other browsers. Some browsers work better than others. To my surprise, I'm having the best luck with Firefox Beta and Boat Browser.

Google Voice Crashes
Great ROM. Thanks, epinter.
I'm getting regular messages for Google Voice stopping. I'm running the gapps v3 and the 2012-080-25 ROM but I was also getting the Google Voice crashes in 2012-08-23B.
I upgraded from CM9 without a user wipe (I did wipe cache) and went straight to gapps v3. Other than the Google Voice FCs, everything is running great. I haven't read about anyone else having this problem. Is it just me?
Much appreciated.

HI
I have installed 3 versions of the umts roms from the crackteam project. The aosp for something like that date Oct 20 did not even load,
Also the cyanogen cm10 worked pretty good but besides battery drain the bluetooth headsets do not ask for the device code.
For bluetooth speakers it works fine but on headsets no sound can be heard.
Which JB ROM is the best for xt910? :beer:
I really need the handsfree it is essential for driving, but I like JB and hate factory ROMs with apps I did not even choose nor use (twitter, facebook, evernote) and cannot uninstall.

Yes, Bluetooth sound is not working on JB. I need it for driving too so I am running ICS. None of the JB roms have handsfree bluetooth calling working, so if you need it for driving, do not use Jellybean at the moment.

Thanks for clarifying the source of the problem, well I will keep trying nightly roms hope one of these days one of them will work.
Today I tried:
goo.im umts_spyder/aokp/STOCK-JB-aokp_umts_spyder_unofficial_Oct-22-12.zip
But still nothing, plus did not like too much the aopk nova launcher way too many options for the UI, maybe i am used to one command at a time
That is a nice ROM. Subscribe to the thread in the development section, some say Bluetooth will be fixed.
I don't use nova launcher either, but it's a good launcher. I bought Apex pro so i just load that with any ROM I'm using and restore my settings. Easiest to figure out what launcher you like and just save your settings to your SD card. Makes restoring a snap.

Thanks for the suggestion, and yes formerly when I had a Motorola Bravo I used Golauncher, now seems that Apex Pro is the option to go for (I liked a theme about maya's, since this is their last year), I also went to google contacts and tried to delete a lot of what is repeating to avoid having to do the clean up each time I flash the device.
BTW I just tried the CNA, from crack team crackteam.crackflasher umts_spyder/cna/STOCK-CNA-JB-Oct-23-2012-07.49.40-CrackTeam-Umts_Spyder.zip
The bluetooth connection works a bit better, but with aokp and cm10 they auto discovered the APN from my carrier, with this I had to manually setup the APN access point, not a big deal the internet worked but just a curious point. As for the bluetooth connection it was a bit better since I was able to hangup and answer the call from the headset, but still no sound neither in nor out.
Which ROM to try, from crackteam they updated all today Aokp, aosp, cm10, cm9, cna, wow this guys develop faster than what it takes to test the roms, in case of confusion this last paragraph is a complement to the crackteam

I had to enter my APN manually as well.
When one is fixed for bluetooth they will all be fixed. I'm just gonna keep an eye on the comments in the thread and the first page and try it out when it's fixed. Of course it works for CM9.
It's all trial and error for now, testing and bug fixing is a lengthy process.
Just tried the cm10 Oct-23 from crackteam, after trying the aosp (which did not load), the aokp, the cna(did not load the default user background picture, additionaly had the manually setup the APN); i am back with the cm10 which as for pure taste or user experience is the one I like the most.
I like how CM10 displays the keyboard with alternate keys, still with today's version bluetooth headset is not working for music is ok but for calls nope.
I'll try the cm9 as you suggested me just to prove bluetooth headset works with custom ICS rom.

Since the HDMI was not working and I bought the stupid cable, I decided to go back to the stock rom, with moto blur and all that crap so I could get the hdmi working as supposed.
When doing the restore using SafeStrap I choose to recover the webtop and according to what I have found that could be what brick my beautiful phone.
Now I am using RSDLite and trying to restore at least to Factory settings, got and error about cdt.bin_signed when trying to install the Reatil image for XT910 for Brazil.
I found a site with several different images http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php
although for the momento I will try the one from androidroot.org
Finally, with the factory cable and trying a lot of roms because of the cdt.bin_signed error; well the one for this razr was retail ICS 6.7.2 emea.
Not sure why but when rebooted it always gets to the recovery menu and I am forced to choose normal powerup
Besides that I am back to android world with an unbricked phone

I've done as much searching on these issues and I cannot find anywhere that references my particular symptoms. I've tried both AOKP 4.2.1 latest release and supernexus 2.0, and the fact that the exact same issues happen on both roms I would assume it's either a 4.2.1 problem or just some particular issues with my device...
1.) just about every video playing app has some sort of problem. Biggest example being the Twitch tv app only playing audio, screen is black except for menu options. Trying to go back crashes the app. flash video embedded on Web pages (installed flash so regular browser supports flash) works until you try to watch full screened, which makes the browser lock up until you force the process closed. youtube, like the twitch tv app, will only show a black screen where the video should be, however everything else shows up fine (examples being menus and, most interestingly, the preview pics that appear as you scroll through the video show up, but when it buffers it's back to black screen) For the record, I had to install the fix here to get netflix to get even that far, as before it would just stick at the loading screen when trying to play a video.
2.) SwiftKey loses its languages after each reboot where typing does not bring up any predictions (boxes where they would be are blank), and the only way to get it working is to go into languages in SwiftKey settings and updating them. I saw some other places describing the same issues with jellybean but i couldn't find if there was a solution.
3.) connecting to my car via Bluetooth and listening to music (power amp currently installed), if i get a call while music is playing the device will lock up for several seconds and the only way to get everything back to normal is to turn off bluetooth once the phone actually starts responding, call the person back on the device, and then reconnect via bluetooth and continue the music only at that point.
Any help or guidance or info on any of these issues would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
if any of the issues I mentioned are discussed elsewhere that I just haven't found, would anyone be able to link me to the thread/article where it's discussed? or if there just isn't any way around it, let me know so I can just put an ics rom back on

Why not drop back to 4.1.2 rather than ICS?
Bluetooth is a know issue with 4.2. Never seen the swiftkey issue before, but quite a few apps are not compatible with 4.2 yet.

the video issue is the biggest issue in terms of affecting my day to day use, as i like to watch streams from twitch.tv as well as having netflix that works (has anyone seen or heard about the netflix issue i described? thought that was particularly weird...). I guess I could try a 4.1.2 rom before going all the way back to ics, but if it means more apps/features are stable and compatible compared to either version of jb, then that's the way i'd probably go. thanks for the replies

if you're referring to the fix i linked in the op referencing the stuck at loading issue where the fix is to install xposed, that was the only way i even got past the loading screen initially which brought me to the issue I described. if there is another fix he provided for the issue, i'd be interested in seeing the link if you could provide.
I switched to shostock3 using 4.1.2 and everything is working perfectly fine, so I guess all the issues, officially confirmed as problems or not, are 4.2.1 related. I'd still be curious to see if any further fixes exist as I definitely liked the supernexus rom and would love to use it if I can get everything working.

I'm having similar issues:
- SwiftKey works fine
- Google+ Hangout during a call video rendering is all glitchy, often freezes and crashes.
- Skype calls work fine
- Chrome freezes and crashes often
- Gmail Reply All either adds me to CC (if not updated to the latest version) or removes one address from the list (if updated). Saw other threads on this issue but couldn't fix it.
- Automatic timezone switches to GMT
Feels like most of the google apps aren't working for me, but rather than that the rom is cool would definitely want to fix the issues.
Hi there,
unfortunately I got more and more problems using that ROM. Next to the problem described here weather is no longer updating automatically, several google apps cannot be updated any longer (showing error -504) and when rebooting/booting it takes ages now while it gets hot and drains battery massivly during bootup.
Do you have any ideas about how to solve these problems?
In addition I wanted to ask which of the available alternative OSes for RMN2 Prime is the most stable (and secure) to be used which does not exclude too many phone functions (like sensors, bluetooth, audio, GPS, camera etc.) and also provides useful battery live (do not use phone much)?
(I managed to get Dual Boot Patcher working when I used xiami.eu ROM back then - but unfortunately main apps (messengers, calendar, navigation etc.) could not be used in parallel mode so I did not play around much with different OS [had RRemix installed in parallel] - maybe any idea on that to use parallel stuff?).
Thank you in advance for your help!

I really miss having a small phone and this was the last of Sony's really small devices, is there a firmware available that supports Whatsapp, Facebook (with messenger) and Google maps? I really don't need anything else, well except the camera to take the odd snap and of course basic phone functions for making calls and texts etc.
Thanks,
Karl
Same here with my Xperia Active. I think this device is a gem. Unfortunately i doubt using it today safety wise . Would love to bring it back to life in 2020.
Yeah basically the same phone isn't it mate?
I'm just pissed of with being forced to have large form factor phones, I've been using the Sony Compact range for the last few years and they were really good and at least not too big (by today's standards), Sony's current offerings are far too big as are other manufacturers.
I'm actually using a Galaxy S10 as my daily and it's always falling out of my pocket because of how big it is!
I have Android 4.0.4 in my Mini-Pro, and it's still supported by Whatsapp. I haven't tried/used the other two, though.
I still use it as my main phone, since it is very compact and has a physical keyboard. I basically use a mobile phone for text messaging and camera.

thanks for the steps.
Step 2 to the decompressing put the whole folder on my xperia sd card?
step 4 would be in the CMD mode or adb?
Step 5 have to disconnect the mobile to the start in recovery mode?
Step 7 is sideload?
Step 2. Extract only boot.img file. You need the whole .zip file in step 7.
Step 4. Your phone in recovery mode and your PC in terminal with adb.
Step 5. To enter in recovery mode you must restart your phone and click volume - button many times.
Step 7. Sideload is a recovery mode option. It is the way to install .zip file.

That's really cool. How well do the phones perform? Working well, or laggy? I would appreciate a video of how it functions.

How to use fastboot drivers / usb drivers with SK17i on pc? ..
I try windows 7 on vmware .. Windows 10 with some signed drivers ...
I always end with - "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" on Device manager .. and < waiting for any device > in fastboot
I am still just before step 1)
Are there some special USB drivers? .. or some special operation system needs?
Thankes

You can even install Android 7.1 yet with LinageOS 14. I have these devices: Xperia Mini, Xperia Pro SK17 and Xperia Play. All of them using Android 6 or Android 7.

I did the same with my Xperia Mini (upgraded it to Android 7.1.2, I used lineage-14.1-20170514-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-smultron ROM) and also upgraded Xperia Active (to Android 6.0.1, I tested both CM13 ROMs, cm-13.0-20160418-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-satsuma and cm-13.0-20160327-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-satsuma).
And here is the main problem I've been trying to fix for the last two weeks: on both of them I simply cannot get wired or bluetooth microphone working. E.g. if I plug in headphones (headset with microphone), upgraded Xperia doesn't switch internal microphone to the plugged in headset mic or bluetooth mic (sound is there on the headphones, but mic is not being switched from internal microphone to the mic on the headset). The headset works just fine on another Xperia Mini (with stock ROM, Android 4.1), and I have tested many other headsets with the same result. The same is with bluetooth headset, it simply won't switch to it on upgraded Xperia.
Same thing is on Xperia Active. On the stock ROM it works just fine, but after the upgrade to Android 6, headset or bluetooth microphone won't work.
If anyone knows the solution to this issue, please let me know how you managed to get microphone working on either wired headset or bluetooth headset on your upgraded Xperia Mini (or Xperia Active).
I've been trying to fix this for two weeks now and I still haven't found the solution
I mostly use my Xperia phones on bike rides, and I need to use handsfree for calls. Without internal mic switching to the headset mic, it's useless
If no one here knows the solution, I will perhaps open a new thread.
Many thanks in advance!!!

@Temp_Quack,
Sorry, didn't see your post till now.
Here are my findings so far:
Performance of Xperia Mini with LOS 14.1 wasn't as good as with CM13 ROM, so I downgraded my Xperia Mini to CM13. On CM13 (Androind 6.1) it's really fast and smooth, much better and faster performance compared to Android 4.1.
With LOS 14.1 on my Xperia Mini it started lagging after some time. But the huge advantage was having TWRP recovery (proves to be really useful since you can simply create a backup/image of the system and easily restore the whole image in one step and really fast within recovery itself). With CM13 you only get Cyanogen recovery, so there is no built in backup capability within recovery, but you could make system/data backup with Titanium backup for example. But it's much less convenient compared to TWRP since you cannot make a system image, so in case of restoring a backup you then need to restore one by one app with Titanium backup.
And now to the weird microphone behaviour. This one is REALLY WEIRD. So, here's the thing:
Built-in mic works perfectly if you will be using Xperia Mini on CM13 or LOS 14.1 to make phone calls. Plugged in headphones or headset or bluetooth headphones/headset also work perfectly, no issues with any of them when making phone calls.
BUT if you would like to use any of the (VoIP) apps to make calls, microphone is working ONLY when using WhatsApp, with any other apps which I tested (Skype, Viber, Signal, Messenger Lite,...) microphone DOESN'T WORK at all (tested it also with plugged in headset, with bluetooth headset, with built-in mic... nothing works). I can hear the other side talking, but other side cannot hear me. It's like the mic stays switched off, and only WhatsApp somehow manages to turn it on when initiating a voice call over Whatsapp.
I really have no idea why is that so, and why other apps cannot turn on the microphone.
I then installed some apps that are supposed to be able to reroute / bypass audio signal in the phone, and/or force the microphone audio route (e.g. Lesser Audioswitch and Soundabout), but none of them managed to fix this issue. I would say it's some bug or something missing in CM13 and LOS14.1 which doesn't enable mic (doesn't turn on the microphone) when using VoIP apps. Only Whatsapp manages to trigger the mic (and I also need to mention that sometimes even WhatsApp doesn't manage to turn on the mic, so phone reboot is needed in that case). I really wonder what's the difference between Whatsapp and other apps, I mean how come WhatsApp is the only app that can use/turn on the microphone??
@Temp_Quack: regarding texting, calling (phone calls), wifi and hotspot and bluetooth - they all work fine in my case.
The only thing that's annoying is aforementioned microphone issue in apps, I would really like to get that fixed somehow, but I have no clue what is the root cause of that issue.
Btw, let me know if you'll decide to buy the phone and install e.g. CM13, there might be an issue with Google Play Services that will need to be updated (the stock Google Play Services is outdated and you'll need to update it. Beware not to update it to the latest available version otherwise the phone might be stuck in an endless loop trying to update it without success and then reboots again, then of of the fixes is to clear the cache in recovery which then basically means setting up the phone from scratch again).
You also need to be aware that installing any app will take some time (as far as I remember that's some issue with such ROMs, it's slow when installing apps).
If I think of anything else, will try to make sure to follow up on this post. And if anyone else has any idea how to fix that weird microphone behaviour, please let us know.
Kind regards

He , thanks for the detailed reply , I was looking for the phone but couldnot find one nearby and ebay was too expensive but will see If I can find one again in local market. I did find and fix my old xperia play though for gaming for now
I will let you know once i get my hands on xperia / xperia mini pro !
Hello good day, I am from Peru (I will use the Google translator in all this answer) by chance I came across this topic and I decided to create this account just to contribute my experience with Xperia Mini Pro SK17 (I have both the SK17i and the SK17a) in the middle of 2021 Currently I have a Z3 Tablet that I use as a personal phone among other things, but I really love my Xperia Mini Pro as it was one of my first and last "Normal" cell phones before switching to my Z3 Tablet.
My SK17i I have CyanogenMod 4.3.1 Released with Bootloader + Recovery etc everything that can be unlocked by logic when having it unlocked I do not think it is necessary to mention the minimum applications for the proper functioning of it, you can put customs with higher numbers so So you will have no limits in installing apps with the proper data partition to the SD card.
My SK17a I have the stock Rom of 4.0.4 the famous 4.1B.0.431 of course this stock rom is already old and out of date but my advantage is that I have it Rooted + Recovery (But with blocked bootloader which is not an impediment to me I don't plan on updating this cell phone to a higher version) so, I really love this stock Rom I love the music player, the Xperia launcher and the RADIO! Oh my god the radio is something that I can't use in cyanogen but in my stock rom and some functionalities such as image and audio enhancement that you can only use with the stock rom, I love how it looks great but as well we all know , we have 2 types of limitations.
1.- It is old, we cannot install modern applications or have gaps.
2.- If we try to install things from the play store then the phone will saturate us, taking away those 420mb of which we can only use 200 to 150 free megabytes.
So how can I use my cell phone in 2021? With the basics (at least for me) Facebook, VK, Youtube and messaging without having to install high-weight apps and without resorting to Gaps? Well then I will proceed to explain my odyssey and a solution for those who have this wonderful rom of stock.
First: We have to eliminate all the apps that we know are useless or potentially consuming the sacred space of our phone, for this we have to have ROOT on our cell phone and install Link2SD 3.1.5 This version weighs approximately 1.87MB so it will not take up much space , this application will allow you to freeze and uninstall system applications, in my case it purges the Play Store and its derivatives such as Google play services, Music Unlimited, Mail Exchanger, Gmail, Email, Market Update, News and weather, Playnow, Trackid , YouTube and derivatives to that application, Music extensions and things that I know that will not affect the start of the system, having done this we have freed up a lot of space in addition to leaving the system a little more "accelerated" since we have purged applications that today They do not work (no matter how much you try to start them, it will ask you for gaps or it will give you a 404 error or it will not load because they simply expired)
Second: Since we have freed up space now I will leave the applications that I use and install to replace most: Facebook:
- Facebook Lite version 23.0.0.6.149 Total weight 4.50MB + or -<- You can clone the application if you have more than 1 Facebook account, you can watch videos and do everything you would with normal Facebook.
- VK: VK version 4.6.0 Total weight: 67MB + or -<- It is another social network as well as Facebook, the bad thing about this version that you can not listen to music but you can see videos that you have stored etc.
- Gmail, Outlook (And I think more messengers but I only use those: K-9 Mail version 5,600 Total weight 10MB approx, keep in mind that to use Gmail in this version you must authorize less secure applications in your Gmail account, to date not I have had no problem using this.
- Youtube: Using Lighting Browser Version 4.5.1 Total weight: 4.44MB + or -<- enter youtube using m.youtube.com and you can see any video fluently.
- Whatsapp : I would have liked to place here an alternative to whatsap but unfortunately no application I found even looking and looking for the closest thing to this that I found was the "Whatsweb version 3.2.8" but unfortunately it will not work an error will appear asking you to update the browser and the versions Whatsweb superiors are not compatible with Android 4.0.4, for me it is not a great loss since I have fully functional whatsap in my Z3 tablet also most of the businesses I do are through Facebook market which I access through Facebook lite already mentioned.
Next, I will place the personal applications that each application uses as those already mentioned above are applications that I have taken the time to download, install one by one and test taking into account the limited space we have available to install applications on the cell phone due to the reduced 200 or 150 mega size available we have.
- CPU Z 1.19 total weight 3.21MB + or -. <- We all know what it is for, to delight ourselves with the specifications of our cell phone.
- 17Track 2.2.1 total weight 14.15MB + or -<- If you have tracking codes like me you can use them here.(Unfortinelly dont work actually )
- MiXplorer 6.54.6 Total weight 10.58MB + or - <- Note that this at least for me is an improvement, it is file explorer, it is light, I can activate sharing via FTP, it has a basic built-in music and video player, I can enter my computer via LAN and play video and music without major complications and it is very light for me, the best browser and has many more things but I do not want to extend myself.
- Power Toogles 5.0.10 Total weight 0.89MB + or - <- The best Widget to manage the wifi airplane mode flashlight etc that you can have.
- Notes 1.5.6 Total weight 6.52 + or - <- Useful to create a widget with notes that you need at hand.
- Titanium Backup 8.0.1 Total weight 10.52MB <- If you want to backup the applications before uninstalling it then, you can use this is useful and light.
- VLC 2.0.6 Total weight approx 39.06MB <- you can play anything I use it to watch videos + MiXplorer on my pc, it is light and captures anything.
- Voice Recorder version 12 Total weight 2.12MB approx <- Useful to record voice
Emulators:
- ePSXe 2.0.7 Total weight 10.11MB Approx. PSOne Games
- Gensoid 2.4.3 Total weight 1.00MB Approx. Sega Genesis games.
- My OldBoy Paid version 1.3.4 Total weight 896KB Approx. GBC games
- My Boy 1.7.0.2 Paid Version total weight 2.73MB Approx. GBA games
- NEO.emu 1.5.9 Total weight 2.10MB approx. Arcades Metal slug games 1 2 3 4 5 kof etc.
- Nesoid 2.5 Total weight 2.5MB Approx. Nintendo games.
- SNesoid 2.2.4 Total weight 2.44MB Approx. Super Nintendo games.
Light games:
- Glow Hockey 1.2.19 Total weight 15.80MB.
- OpenTyrian 2.1.25 total weight 9.48MB.
Raging Thunder 2 1.0.16 Total weight 31.06MB <- this will install part of your system on your external SD card.
And with all that I still have 74 MB Free Hahahaha, please keep in mind that the apps that I mention are apps that I downloaded, installed and tested myself for months and it has not given me any problem, if you know apps that consume less memory and are efficient I invite you to publish and use them, I am aware that many of the apps that I mention have updates nowadays but they weigh more and are not compatible for Android 4.0.4.
If you choose to use these apps then at the end of the process of purging and installing everything, if you uninstall Link2SD and TitaniumBackup you should have 88 - 92MB Free, I hope this answer is useful for those who want to use their SK17 with stock Rom today in In the middle of 2021, forget to mention that I can surf quietly, listen to music and watch my networks quietly on the street using the 3G cellular data signal, I also recommend that you purge cache of the applications every so often if in case you feel that you can free up more space, well I do not extend more I hope it is useful luck !.
Forget to mention something, it is still possible to use google maps, the stock application that comes with 4.0.4 is used very well and gives you the exact location of where you are, obviously you must enable the location and gps in the settings, also if You have installed and done everything I put above, no application will be dependent on Google play services or Market, good luck!
