hi guys, i was looking for some "alternative" app I can use on my xperia u to have more free ram. I saw that fb, gmail and similar are quite heavy, so I was wonder to switch them with something lighter. Can you suggest something? just about all apps, not only these few
Maybe try switching to ART runtime? Unless you use Xposed module

Ah, well, ART is a new experimental runtime introduced in Android KitKat (Which I'm assuming is the version you're using) Now i'm not entirely sure on how ART works (Someone feel free to correct me) but it basically store's all or most of the app to the system which allows the phone to access it faster compared to the current runtime (JIT/Dalvik) which loads the app Just In Time, every time you load it up.
For KitKat
Make sure to make a backup before you attempt this incase anything goes wrong resulting in your phone not being able to boot.
To enable the runtime, just navigate to Developer Options (If not alread enabled, go to Settings > About Device and scroll down to "Build Number" Tap that 7 times and it should give you a prompt telling you it's been enabled.
From there, navigate back to the settings menu and all the way to the bottom. You should now see a developer options listing. Click it and scroll all the way to the bottom to the "Apps" Category. Tap the option "Select Runtime" this should bring up a menu with the option to switch between runtimes. Now just press "Use ART" and press OK on the warning that pops up. You're phone will reboot and will now reinstall all and optimise all of your apps ready for ART mode. You will not lose any of your app data.

Of course you can't...ART is available for KitKat based ROMS only, while FlyingTor is a JB stock ROM.
By the way,he just asked for some alternative apps, so please keep on topic and don't confuse him!

My suggestion is to use fast for facebook as an alternative FB client,it's really lightweight,smooth and fast For Gmail you can try Mailbox(a really good app!)

Are you on the latest Google Maps? Comparing Waze to Google Maps, Waze is actually heavier to run.
Yet, Waze is still indispensable because its map accuracy is far superior.
i can recommend next as browser, is really fast and stable

The last 2 Gmail updates have really messed things up for me. My major complaints about the update are:
1. Google decided that you must choose between archiving or deleting, but that you will never want to do both. In the settings, you can choose 'Archive & Delete Actions' > 'Show Archive Only' or 'Show Delete Only' or Show Archive and Delete'. So far, so good.
If you choose the logical setting, 'Show Archive and Delete', both the archive and delete icons show up at the top of the screen while you're inside an email. This is pretty much the way the previous version worked. The problem is, that if you choose 'Show Archive and Delete', the swipe option changes to 'Swipe to Archive' and the 'Swipe to Delete' option goes away. The only way to have 'Swipe to Delete' is to select 'Archive & Delete Actions' > Show Delete Only'. But when you do this, you lose the Archive icon at the top of your email.
This seems to me extremely illogical. Why not provide the option to choose 'Swipe to Delete' or 'Swipe to Archive' independent of which icons show at the top of the email (which is how the previous version worked). Even better, why not set up the Swipe option so that a left swipe deletes and a right swipe archives??? This would seem to be the sensible way to do this.
2. The new version takes away the old check boxes that were used to select multiple messages and replaces them with big, garish blobs that are not functional and take up a lot of real estate. If you get rid of the identity blocks, you lose the ability to select multiple messages easily
It really seems that Google must have some agenda driving these crumby design choices. More and more, they're bloating up their interfaces with a lot of stuff that makes the apps worse. This is the way Microsoft likes to do things. Google used to be good at keeping their interfaces clean and functional.
Anyway, now that I've got that rant off my chest, I'm looking for the APK for the older version of Gmail, about 2 updates back. Does anybody know where I might find it?
They don't force you to use it, take it as it is or just don't update.
I assume you could just download a gapps package from some rom and then extract the gmail apk....
I don't even use Gmail.
uses too much battery compared to stock email app.
I use the stock email app and remove gmail.

When I uninstall updates, I go all the way back to the stock app, which is too many versions back. I'm looking for a specific version from a month or so ago.

Perhaps you should look into the custom Roms for your device and look at the gmail apps in those roms to see if they are the ones you are looking for. Perhaps older versions of gapps as well.

Probably the best idea. I was hoping that there was an archive of previous versions that was being maintained somewhere, but I might find the right version in somebody's gapps packages.
Hello everyone!
I have the amazing Galaxy Note 2 on big red. I have been a flash junkie for quite some time and have tried just about every flavor (rom) I could find. Some with more success than others.
After Google finally released 4.4 into the wild, I wanted to see what it was like. I am not able to build for this device but when time permits I do want to learn. I am a family man and our life is quite busy. Anyways...
I did a clean flash of the latest P.A. & Gapps so I would have a fresh start. Now, on to the quick and easy...
FLASH ALL THE THINGS!
Step 1 ~ Get the Google Experience Launcher:
PreBuiltGmsCore (Google Play Services 4.0)
Velvet (Google Search)
GoogleHome (Google Launcher)
FIX: Google Search Force Close:
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.
Step 2 ~ Grab the new apk's from the Nexus 5 dump:
Calendar (v201308021)
Clock (v3.0.0)
Email (v6.0-893803)
Gallery (v1.1.40304)
Gmail (v4.6.1)
Camera (v2.0.001)
Hangouts (v2.0.012)
Keep (v2.0.50)
Google Keyboard (v2.0.19003.893803a)
Step 3 ~ Pimp it out!
Grab the flash-tastic kitkat sounds and font's from here!
Profit!
Say thanks to any dev that has ever been helpful! They are what makes this whole shindig possible.

Didn't have time to flash this clean with my daily driver but it was cool while I used it. The Google search kept force closing even after I did your fix it would work for an hour then fc but again I didn't flash a clean ROM with pa gapps. Is it absolutely necessary to flash Pa gapps?

Not to my knowledge. Others have stated they have had issues while some haven't. I may have been one of the lucky ones. So far it works great. Occasionally, there is a slight delay but it is not often.

I flashed a 4.3 rom and tried the hangouts again. Everything works except the pics. They send and receive fine, it's just half the time they wont load for me to see, just a black box. Same thing on my TW rom. Darn it, I want hangouts for my sms!!
I have hangouts working perfectly with jelly beans build 22. No black boxes for pics, no force closes. Weird how it's touch and go for everyone. I did nothing fancy to get it working either. Followed instructions from another post. It's very important to reboot after installing. That solved my initial issue of hangouts stuck on connecting for video chats.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention I am running this and it is awesome. Everything seems to work except for me I am having issues with GPS and then if i send a new message to someone in hangouts it never gets received. If someone sends me a message then i can use that conversation in hangouts to chat with them.
I want to believe its an issue because of my google + account.
If anyone uses the email app for work/exchange mail, they will need to push the exchange services apk to the system/app/ folder.
Edit: Fixed that name violation with my google+ account and hangouts messaging works perfect now. If only we could fix gps

Voice recognition works if I open the Google Search app and press the mic, also "Hi Galaxy" isn't working for Hands Free Mode.

I chose Google Launcher from the install menu when I setup the ROM, maybe that did it? I uninstalled it and restarted, still nothing.

Well if you are refering to OK Google command, make sure that you have the search widget on your home screen or you can enable the ok google anywhere option in Google now settings. Xposed by itself and any of the included mods should not really effect anything depending (of course) on what mods that you have installed. If You want t troubleshoot than just uninstall the xposed framework from the xposed settings and reboot. You can always just reenable it with the touch of a button. Of course the last case senerio that I would recommend is doing a full wipe (data, system, cache and dalvik) and doing a fresh install. That should definately fix the issue as long as its not hardware related (your phone itself).

Any other download source than Mega upload?
For some reason my post about the above topic disappeared. Thought this was the Q&A forums but now I'm not so sure.
Was wondering if there was any other way to get this other than downloading an extension that is corrupt and wont tell me where its downloading my files at?
There are NO options to set as for my files to download and I will NOT let it download to C:/ drive just in case it opens a backdoor to allow viruses onto my computer. Call me paranoid all you want too.
Is it being hosted on any other sites that I can control what gets installed and where? Even Pirate Bay allows you to save files wherever you want too. I'm not asking for much. Just dont want my main drive to get whacked by some crap that I have to install just to download files "over 1GB in size you need our extension" . Ummmmm no I don't. Just download the file and allow me to put it where I want to put it. Thats all.
Google Drive or Dropbox account maybe?
Have the v4 and v5 as they were hosted on androidhost or something similar. But then you switched to Mega.nz for some reason. Don't know why. Thanks for anyones help in this problem.
Hi All,
I bought a tablet from a hospital auction a few weeks back. It has pre-programmed content running on them. The content is Context Media Health services and they play on a loop. I have tried a full wipe, restore, factory reset and nothing is working. I cannot even add an account or get google play to acknowledge I have a device - probably because I do not even have google play and cannot get it to install. I would like to just wipe out all the Context Medical Health information and get them back to factory or just get that off of their in order to use them.
Model # UIT313B-U01
Android version 4.4.4
kernel version: 3.0.36+
build number: Android 4.4.4
Outform-TAB1310-13.3-Y4. 13-20160122
Can anyone point me in a direction or lead me somewhere. These are just the way they came to me I have not ran any programs on them to correct because I am not sure what I need to do.
I would appreciate any help and Thank you in advance!

If you can access the status bar(it may close itself, if so just tap it really fast), tap on settings.
Send the .apks you will need over Bluetooth(custom launcher, F-Droid, etc.) then run them.
After installing your launcher, enable it in settings.
Next time you go to the home screen, a pop-up box confirming which launcher to use will appear. Just tap on your launcher and select "Always".
DO NOT uninstall "MDM-Client". Every thing will break if you do!
The tablet will be in a workable state, I have not tried to install a custom ROM, but it would probably work.
I hope this worked for you! I have almost exactly the same thing you have.

If you can access the status bar(it may close itself, if so just tap it really fast), tap on settings.
Send the .apks you will need over Bluetooth(custom launcher, F-Droid, etc.) then run them.
After installing your launcher, enable it in settings.
Next time you go to the home screen, a pop-up box confirming which launcher to use will appear. Just tap on your launcher and select "Always".
DO NOT uninstall "MDM-Client". Every thing will break if you do!
The tablet will be in a workable state, I have not tried to install a custom ROM, but it would probably work.
I hope this worked for you! I have almost exactly the same thing you have.

Ok. Try swiping from the top of the screen. Try the middle, and then the right side. Do you see a menu come down?

Does your computer have Bluetooth? If it does, send the .apk file over Bluetooth to the tablet. Then open and install.

.apk files are for use with android only, you can only install them on android devices. But yes, you can download the file onto your Iphone, then send it via Bluetooth.

You can try to send via USB if the table has USB ports. Mine did near the charging port. Not sure if this will work, because I don't think you can access the file on the tablet to open it, but you can try.

If you transferred over Bluetooth, tap the triple dots in the top-right corner. Then hit "Show received files". Tap the .apk, press install. When that's all done, press the home button, select Nova Launcher, and press "Always". Now you have a different launcher then ContextMedia Health's launcher!
I'll look into getting the Play Store if you'd like.

I tried to on mine but I couldn't get it to work, but try this anyways:
Uninstall the Play Store you have currently installed.
Download the .zip that contains the four .apk files from here. (the file was too large to simply attach to the post, xda caps .zip file sizes at 20 MB)
Get them on the tablet, either by bluetooth or USB.
Install them in this order:
(1) accountmanager.apk
(2) servicesframework.apk
(3) playservices.apk
(4) playstore.apk
After that the Play Store might be installed and work correctly. I am not sure. It's worth trying though.
If it does work, but the play store looks old, don't worry. It will update soon enough.
I hope this helps you out!

Try swiping from the very top right of the screen. When you see a menu come down, tap the icon marked as "Settings".

ARTDeoptimiser - An Android N & O Xposed Crash/Hang "fix"
Introduction:
First things first, I'd like to point out that this app is by no means the optimal solution to the problem I am about to discuss, however it is a temporary solution to those that wish to use it.
Xposed for Android N and above has known issues whereby hooked applications can hang or crash for seemingly no reason at all and there's virtually nothing that us developers can do to resolve
the issue (From a module developers perspective). This is (to the best of my knowledge) in part due to how android performs an optimisation on applications during the installation period
(Dex2Oat) [See Further Reading below].
As an Xposed developer myself these hangs became quite a frequent occurrence and my users would often complain about it, assuming the issue was something on my part or something I could resolve.
As a result I decided to create a module that would force android to install selected applications as "Interpret Only" whereby no optimisations are performed on the app meaning Xposed can hook
into applications and not face the dreaded hangs.
Again, I can't stress enough that this is not a permanent or primary solution to the issue however Rovo himself has said that the optimal fix is not something that is easy to do, so until then I thought
I'd at least offer a "hacky workaround". I'd love to hear from @rovo89 as to whether forcing apps to install as vmSafeMode=true is in fact a "solution".
Note: This app is very much in the EARLY STAGES as I made it in about 2 days and decided I'd at least allow people to provide feedback.
Download:
Check out the Github with an included Pre-Release APK and a brief howto guide in the ReadMe.
ARTDeoptimiser Github
Xposed Repo -> Repository Link
Brief Instructions:
Install Module
Activate in Xposed
Reboot
Open app
Mark which apps you want deoptimised
Backup their data
Uninstall the apps
Reinstall the apps
Restore their data
Always apply this to the App, not the Xposed Module for it.
Further Reading
If you'd like to read up on Rovo's official explanation on the issue, use the link below.
Rovo's explanation
I made the module to try and help out other developers and make the Xposed community a little bit more stable for Android N and above. It is, and always will be, a free application.
Thanks! Giving this a try.

Although I'm not 100% certain, in theory so long as this module is active at the time of update it should allow you to just update your apps normally.
I'll have to test this to confirm it however I'm somewhat confident it will work.

Ok thank you.
Sorry if this is stupid question, but which app am I supposed to de optimize? The Xposed module apk or the app that the module "tweaks" or both? I.e X Messenger Privacy or Facebook Messenger or both?
Finally Snaptools on Oreo w/o crashes :victory:

In your case the Facebook Messenger. Always the app. :highfive:
It's something similar like Greenify?

not at all, if anything it may make your battery life a bit worse

I'm not sure about other impacts of vmSafeMode. You might be better of setting "pm.dexopt.bg-dexopt=quicken" (or whatever "pm.dexopt.install" is): https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/configure#runtime_configuration
Again, this is only a workaround. It means that no AOT compilation is taking place, which means that apps need to be JIT-compiled every time you start them. That surely increases CPU/RAM load, which in turn consumes more battery.
Nice job
I think it's solution create only for using if it's needed (if you got this crashes etc.). If now everything in your rom is OK, you don't need it I think (yet). Cheers.
Thanks for this module it fixes my Facebook Messenger crash when using X Messenger Privacy module ?

Exactly what I was looking for, glad to see if works. I just got mine setup, and about to log back in now. ?
Got a little lost at the part of backing the app up and uninstalling it, then restoring it but then I considered a case like Snapchat's login.
Thanks so much, my phone is miui9 android 8.0,Art flash back,cannot be used,im chinese, English is not good,I'm sorry.
Hmm maybe it's just me but it looks like Messenger still optimizes sometimes (maybe after restart but I'm not sure).
And yes I followed all the steps. Xposed module is active and .orca is 'deop'.
After removing the OAT folder it works again.

Make sure you're using the v1.0.2 version as previous versions would still allow android to optimise apps in the background ?
(Note: this MAY require you to reinstall messenger, I've not been able to confirm if it's necessary)
