It's not any error but I'm getting this while installing prebuiltgmscore file. It says like, "This is a system app, are you sure to install and replace it with previous one." and so on. So, I aborted. I was not sure to proceed. It says it will replace all the data, etc. What actually will it do if I press ok and continue with it? My phone is not rooted yet, and not planning for few months. I'm already using the Kitkat Launcher Theme which give the kitkat Icons and I'm using it with Nova Prime.
I also installed Kitkat Launcher from Nick app from playstore but the App Drawer was very clumsy and did not feel clean, so uninstalled it.
Back to the point, what happens if I install prebuiltgmscore replacing previous and will it require Root?
Thanks XDA Brothers.:good:
It is the .apk file for the updated playstore...since you already have playstore installed, it asks if you want to replace it...there is no prob if you click ok...you just have an updated playstore on your device...
Installed Googlehome apk directly ! ! !

It works. I skipped both PrebuiltGmsCore.apk and Velvet.apk and installed google home directly. Everything seems to work good except the widgets and the voice command is not working from the homescreen. I have to tap the top right search button. Any idea about it?
Check the attachment for widget error.
The Voice Command 'Ok Google' is supposed to work only on the Nexus 5...and the widgets caused problems initially, but now they work properly...once you drag a widget to the home screen, and click on it they show some msg...ht ok..and it will work...

prebuiltgmscore.apk is actually the new google play service app. If you had updated to the newest version of google play, you can try and error to NOT install the prebuiltgmscore.apk. Report back here if you successful install. If not sucess, just install the new version of google play(prebuiltgmscore.apk).
and Nope, doesn't require ROOT access.

You can skip both the apk because of google just rolled up their new update for those app, Google Now n Google Play Service for everyone.
To have the voice command works, just change the languages to English (US), head to MENU >Settings > Voice > Language > English (US).
Try to say, "OK google". If doesn't work, head to MENU >Settings > Voice > Language > Offline speech recognition > and choose English (US) update.
As simple as that Sorry for the late reply though.
problem
camera does not work and the phone application is closed with error

Can U Pls Upload Screen Shots Guys ?
This is currently only for Stock G-pad's running the current US firmware V50020d (not aosp or V50020b). US only at this time. OP will be updated if other firmwares become functional. These mods will enable full splitwindow support to your G-pad and allow you to selectively choose what apps are displayed in the splitwindow "menu". Also, please note that this is a collection of other users work combined together for the ultimate Mod!! I did not create anything here, I just put the pieces together and tested if it all worked (which it does 100%).
Prerequisites:
-You must be on firmware version V50020d
-You must be rooted
-You must have a custom recovery
-Root and recovery can be achieved using ioroot 25 and @id10terror's recovery script both located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698267 . Please note that you must open the runme.bat script and manually change the firmware version from V50020b to V50020d in order for the recovery script to work. Then flash an updated TWRP from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551499
-Please keep questions about root and recovery out of this thread!!
Step 1: Get Splitwindow Working
-Download and flash the V500d splitwindow mod from @hensonlf located at the bottom of this post
-Boot device and using your preferred file manager add these 2 lines to the bottom of your build.prop:
ro.lge.capp_splitwindow=true
persist.splitwindow.support_all=true
-Save and reboot device
-Please read his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/themes-apps/split-window-g-pad-t2796066 for more detailed information, and don't forget to thank him for converting @xdabbeb's mod to our device
-You are now running splitwindow on your tablet, but wait whats this mess?......every single app I have installed appears in the splitwindow menu in a random order!! Unacceptable!! Or if you want all apps to appear there, you can stop here.
Step 2: Enable Individual App Selection
-First we must disable all installed apps from appearing in splitwindow menu. Using your preferred file manager open your build.prop and change one line we added in step one here:
persist.splitwindow.support_all=true
to:
persist.splitwindow.support_all=false
-Save and reboot device - now your running the default LG value for splitwindow
-Download and install @XabdullahX's G-Flex splitwindow mod apk from his thread here (I am not providing the download, as he has a free and donate version - the donate version alphabetizes your apps): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707310
-Open app and grant it root permission
-When root is given, a list of all applications will be shown. Select the desired apps you want to appear in the menu when activated
-Click Apply
-Click Reboot to save (if you don't reboot from within the app, the settings will NOT stick - use the option he has provided)
-Done!! Enjoy your custom splitwindow without any crap you don't want shown
Big shout out to all these members for their work - be sure to thank them:
@Drgravy for TWRP
@autoprime for ioroot
@id10terror for root links and TWRP script
@xdabbeb for creating the splitwindow mod method for the G2
@hensonlf for porting the splitwindow mod to our device
@XabdullahX for his G-flex splitwindow apk mod

Dam, I thought the UK may work, as they are nearly identical. Op updated for US only. The author was going to make some other varient versions of the initial mod script. Check in on his thread for more info about that.
In the future, always have a nandroid ready to restore so you don't have to fully reflash...
yeah,my bad.didn't think there would be a problem as its stock 20d.nevermind, i have an old lg backup,got most stuff back.
hopefully mod be available for UK soon.really looking forward to this feature.

First off I do not own an i605 myself but have the l900 (sprint) which is almost the same device. Hardware wise there is only a tiny difference which is in the partition setup. Sprint uses a different data partition mccblk0p17 where all other N2's use mccblk0p16 the other is our mccblk0p16 which contains special files used by sprint on their stock roms (just to make our lives more difficult). I have been working with @lacoursiere18 on a few of my projects for the l900 and we tried to port an earlier version of MIUI for our devices before he got busy with school. Since then I have successfully ported over MIUI to the l900 and i605. Brian has been nice enough to test build out and confirm it works great on the i605. So now I am releasing this for your flashing pleasure. I also took a little extra time and modified Plasma 2.55 to work with MIUI and gotten permission from @ffolks (a few months ago) to post the modified kernel for everyone to use.
Well everyone (l900 users and those who browse the l900 forums) already knows I hate doing OP's so they stay pretty simple and this wont will be any different. Also MIUI users know that there are weekly updates but since this is a port and I have so many projects going on. It might be a month or two between my releases.
This is ported from the N7100 which is based on Omni rom. Original rom is located here
http://en.miui.com/download-35.html
and is the one by mdiary. So far only issues I know of it call recorder does not work (just says being used by another app) and you have to go into settings..mobile networks..network mode and change to CDMA+LTE/EvDO to enable 4g after every boot. If you flash any gapps package you will lose gps. If you continue to read the OP I will give instructions on how to setup your MIUI rom to get the most out of it.
So I took the base and turned it into a full featured rom with a whole mess of add-ons and tweaks.
Included items/tweaks/mods
Adfree (although I already have a host list created)
dolphin browser
dolphin jetpack plugin
adobe flash 11.1 kk
es file manager
LG G3 Keyboard and a few themes
WSM (MIUI Xposed)
Mi-Tools module (like wanam or gravity box)
Paid themes module (all miui themes are free)
AOSP Dash Clock widget
AOSP Calender widget
Terminal emulator
A bunch of build.prop tweaks
A bunch of init.d scripts (to enable them continue reading the OP)
Bug list
MIUI-i605 4.9.5
Any Omni bugs
call recording does not work
If you flash any gapps besides mine you will lose gps
Change Log
MIUI-i605 4.9.5 9-8-14
First port of rom
Downloads
Flashing instructions
1. Backup internal sdcard to you PC or external sdcard (this will really help prevent issues
2. Boot into recovery and backup current rom
3. Do a factory reset (if using philz/cwm do clean for new rom)
4. Format/wipe internal sdcard (if you dont do this and have issues first thing I will say is format it)
5. Reboot back into recovery (this will create your internal sdcard dir structure)
6. Flash MIUI and boot it
7. After initial setup power off and boot into recovery
8. Flash Gapps (please do it in this order or you will end up wiping and reflashing)
9. Boot into rom
10. Go to post #3 and follow those steps
Do not flash any kernel besides the modified Plasma or your rom wont boot. If there is an AOSP kernel you want to use let me know and I will make it compatible.
Plasma 2.55 MIUI edition Synapse is included in this flashable zip

Importaint tips for MIUI
Simple things for now
1. Open security (located on first screen)..permissions.. and turn on root permission
2. Open WSM tools (miui xposed) and click install DO NOT reboot yet
3. At top of the screen you will see < Manage click here and enable all three modules
4. Reboot phone and setup Mi-Tools to your liking and reboot for settings to be applied
5. Open settings... general settings tab... mobile networks... network mode... set to CDMA+LTE/EvDO (will have to do this every boot to have 4g(LTE)
6. If you want to use a different launcher ( I dont like the iOS style launcher myself ) open settings... general settings... display... default launcher.. and select launcher3 or whatever you have installed yourself
7. Setup your google account and enjoy
Some things are in Chinese
in settings... general settings.. stock settings you will see two chinese options the top one is your advanced settings for samsung devices the bottom one is your Mi-POP settings (that circle with the back icon)

Flashing and getting started
I suggest you to make a clean flash. This means clean DATA, DALVIK CACHE, CACHE.
*It will work without data wipe but it will most likely be buggy and slow.
First boot takes around 5-8 minutes.
At first boot update SU Binary. Go on the notification. Answer Continue and Normal. Do not press reboot in SuperSU. Instead Reboot your device pressing the button
Update all applications that ask for it.
Busybox is installed you can remove the notification. If it is persistent just go in and press Install (it will say the current version is the last, all is good).
To get good clock time go in System Settings -> Date & Time and untick the first to options (just 1 if just 1 is ticked). After that tick the first 2 options again.
For better performance go to No-frills grant root permission. Set like this. Governor: SmartassH3 and I/O: vr. Tick Apply on boot. and pres Apply. For the full power move the Governor on performance!!!
To get USB DEBUG go to System Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information -> Build number -> Press 7 times then go back 2 times and you have Developer options.
Go there and tick Usb debugging.
If you use the ROM before and you are upgrading you can make a dirty flash (without format) but stability might not be the best. If you have problems format (data, cache and dalvik)!
FAQ
1. Hey dude, my mobile internet won't turn on. What is wrong?
Nothing is wrong. This is a Telefonica ROM so it's for their device. To solve this, if it happens just go System Settings -> Tethering and networks -> Mobile networks -> Access point names -> Press menu button -> New APN. Configure this without your service provider data and give it a random Name (ex. Internet). After you are done. Press Menu Button (right to Home button) and press Save. Tick the new APN you created and go back. Disable internet. Enable internet. Magic. It works!

Thanks for your support. I really never looked into it but it should be possible. ATM I am working on CM11. I will upload the version with init.d and tweaks tonight and maybe next week I will try to get all languages from open.
See ya.
V1.2 is up with init.d tweaks and build.prop (that means even better performance. Sadly to port other languages there is a tone of work you must decompile every app and add languages. Sorry more languages packs won't be supported.

christi9503, people help!
I'm not a first time flasher, so I know what I'm doing.
I boot to recovery (TWRP), wipe the device (dalvik, cache, data), run zip it formats the partition and starts the flashing process - suddenly the screen goes blank!!! after a minute or so.
Tried V1.1 and V1.2, same thing happens, at the same part of the flashing process...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Most probably zip got corrupted either when it was downloading or when you were transfering it to sd card.
Try to redownload it again and throw ROM in sd card again. Good luck.

christi9503, people help!
I'm not a first time flasher, so I know what I'm doing.
I boot to recovery (TWRP), wipe the device (dalvik, cache, data), run zip it formats the partition and starts the flashing process - suddenly the screen goes blank!!! after a minute or so.
Tried V1.1 and V1.2, same thing happens, at the same part of the flashing process...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Did you try reopening it. TWRP has an auto screen timeout.

Thank you guys, both.
I'm re-downloading now (although V1.1 & V1.2 were separate downloads, little chance they both got corrupted).
Also, I didn't know that about TWRP (more of CWM guy) so I'll check that too and report back!
Hi everybody! This thread is just to share my experience with the intention to help others who might benefit from this. I know there is a similar thread with the help of "FLOATIFICATIONS(FN)" app. But to my experience FN is a hit or miss on 5.1.1 and most of the time it does not work.
A little background....
Before coming to android 5.1.1 i was using PAC MAN ROM(KK-4.4.4). A great ROM. Among the cool features i liked most was that you have an option to open any notification in a floating window by long pressing it( yes Paranoid Android's "HOVER").But so far i did not find any lollipop 5.1.1 custom Rom which have this feature built into the Rom and XHALOFLOATINGWINDOW(Xposed Module) does not have this SystemUI mod for Android Lollipop(i think not even PA lollipop also so far). So after experimenting with many apps(including FN and Floatify and different sidebars)and mods, i have found a workaround which does exactly what i want and even better.
Things you will need:
1. Xposed installed (unofficial zip for 5.1.1 + official xposed installer alpha 4 apk)http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/super-alpha-posted-permission-xposed-t3072979
2. Xhalofloatingwindow v2.41( xposed module)http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpo...floatingwindow-v2-38-movable-t2419287/page299
3. Xbridge (xposed module)http://repo.xposed.info/module/daylemk.xposed.xbridge
3.Halo shortcuts( there are a couple of Halo shortcuts apps, anyone will do)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554118
4.Notifications shortcuts.(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.nicolai.buch.andersen.ns&hl=en)
STEPS:
1. As usual install xposed and the two modules. Activate the modules and reboot.( you wont see any xbridge icon on app drawer)
2. Install Halo shortcuts. (you wont see any Halo shortcuts icon on your app drawer)
3. Install Notifications shortcuts(NS).
4.Open NS and tap on blank boxes(PREVIEW) to create shortcut. Now select the second option(shortcuts and contacts)>then select halo shortcut>select activity> xbridge>and select that only option under xbridge.
5.Now on your notification drawer u can see an droid icon. Tap to open it. And turn on the "View in Xhalo" switch.Thats It. We r good to go. Now long pressing any notification will show you an option to open in xhalo/floating window.
NOTE: you can pin any app or shortcuts this way to your Notification drawer and they will open in HALO mode anywhere.
CAUTION:Unfortunately on Android 5.1.1 xhalofloatingwindow may cause bootloops after you reboot. Solution: clear dalvik and cache. Its annoying to see this"OPTIMIZING APPS". But until the dev zst123(Xhalo) updates his fantastic module, this is the only way i think.
BIG THANKS TO: zst123(xhalo),romracer(xposed for 5.1.1), lj3lj3(xbridge), rovo89(xposed), MainstreamStereotype(halo shortcuts),and Nicolai Buch-Andersen(Notifications Shortcut)
Most user's use gravity box, I would recommend using the app launcher option to launch multi windows, the only downside is it only allows for 12 apps to be used

.
Actually MANY users use custom Roms( derivatives of CM12/AOSP) instead of CM12 itself. And as per my experience most of the features available in Gravity Box are already there baked into those Roms. So in that situation(when you just need one or two features at most) i think its better to avoid Gravity Box(Its a combination of features in one single app).Apart from that Gravity Box LP is still a bit buggy and heavy. F.Y.K.I. i already tried Gravity Box LP and my conclusion is that my workaround is so far the easiest, practical and least resource consuming. The best thing is it integrates with lollipop notification system and gives me just what i wanted.
.................................Anyways....................thanks for your insight.
OPINIONS ARE INVITED............

Thank you.

It should work on any Rom. After flashing Xposed zip and xposed installer you should clear dalvik and cache. And after rebooting open the xposed app and go to framework and see if there is green message that xposed is active. Also, after activating Xhalo, go to the xhalo tesing tab and open setting or xposed in floating window. If the test result is successful then my procedure should definitely work.
Thank for @matesurano, the approach of open floating window in notification works fine (on my new buy Nexus 9 with latest stock rom of Android 5.1.1, buy in on hTC official Taiwan website, which has a great sale in the beginning of Aug)
I also try Gravity app launcher through hola-shortcut for some app, it's great, too.
Just want to report one thing about the bootloop:
It seems to be a gambling for the bootloop, no-matter you make wipe dalvik/cache or not, and the app optimization is annoying.
I try to make a xml backup of Xhola app with Titanium-> clean the data-> reboot with quick boot-> recovery the data of Xhola app with Titanium
I have made a 5 times straight boot without bootloop( and of cause no app optimization, don't need to wipe with TWRP)
I think it's worth to give a try with Titanium for bootlooping/app optimization.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::laugh:

Hi there, first u should test if xhalo is working in the xhalo test area. Also go through xhalo settings menu properly. As you are on android 5.0, u better try the version 2.41.

Thanks I will I notice that the test area work but if I exit the app and try to open more than 1 the first one closes. Update I was able to figure it out I have to be inside the xhalo app for me to be a ablw to open multiple apps at a time using multiwindow side launcher . also as my tablet doesn't have a working recovery like cwm or twrp I don't want to put something that can break it.
Not Working.....

Did you try opening xhalo window and inside of the app open multiplayer apps at once that's what I have to do on my rca maven pro. If I exit the app I can only open one app at a time

When you try the test area can you at least open one app in floating window if you can have you try to install the fix for multiple windows on xposed.?
Thank you very much

Hi mates
Working on Oneplus Slimsaber 5.1.1
There is a new a Xhalo version for lollipop that seems works better
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64965531&postcount=3236
By the way @matesurano I had in my SGS2 rom the option to open the floating app swiping left the notification.
Do you know if it's possible with this method?
Thanks for this great tutorial

Hi there! do u mean the stock rom or custom in SGS2?! Anyways.....as far as i know, systemUi mods(specially swiping or single tapping are not possible with xhalo in Lollipop. But, Blisspop lollipop(not in MM yet) roms have implemented exactly the same features i.e. u can open the headsup notification in floating window simply by tapping it once or long press the notification in notification tray and get an option to open it in floating window. All these without any xposed module. Quite neat indeed!
