How-to run Android apps on ChromeOS [WITHOUT Dev mode]
This is for NON-PIXELBOOK owners that DO NOT have Android app support yet.
( Look here if you're device is already supported OR will-be supported: Here. )
Similarly, this allows Android app support WITHOUT developer mode enabled.
( Look here if you want to enable developer mode to support Android apps: Here. )
Instructions:
Download the ARC Welder Chrome OS extension, here.
To find APK files to run, look here.
Then, just simply Test the app.
NOT EVERYTHING WORKS, so do not freak out if it is not working for you. I got a few apps to work so I thought I'd share.
The main purpose of using this over dev channel was that I couldn't stand having to enter a command every time in crosh to enable Android app support on dead-restart, ONTOP of that being in dev channel, which is not stable for my day-to-day usage.
Hit me a Thanks if this helped you! :good:
This was tested using a ASUS C201PA.

Hello guys.
Recently I've ordered a Cube U9GT5 tablet and so far it's great, however I miss a small feature and really makes the life easier, and that is the button to kill all apps in Recent Apps window. I have this feature on my I9000 running GamerzROM (4.2.2) and I really miss it on my tablet.
The Cube is also running on 4.2.2 and is rooted. Is there any tweak or an app that can add this button?
Thank you for your replies.
Yes and No
Short answer is no. You can’t get a kill-all button in recent apps window because you should have to get your tablet’s android sources, edit the system file, recompile it and install it using CWM or TWRP.
Long answer is yes but you need to wait for CyanogenMod to build their first custom rom for this device. You can follow their work here

I don’t think that’s the best way.. I tried GravityBox on my „chinese” tablet and didn’t work at all!

It depends on support if rom is aosp base with very less cystomizations in framework then its possible its just about giving it a try
Oh...
Oh, that’s why it didn’t work…The rom wasn’t AOSP based… Hey OP, give it a try and tell us!

Hey Hephappy!
Why did you leave XDA? We need you!
Your ROMs were first of the kind for our device. Moreover, good developers are leaving development of this device because they have moved on to another device.
Optimus One users want good ROMs too!
Hephappy left xda but still actively working on P500

Feedback - [DEV][ROM][4.4.2] [CM11] KITKAT for LG-P500[WIP][VER-1]
I've been using this KITKAT Rom (from 27. December) for 5 days now and I'm really impressed of it - thx goes to mukulsoni and hephappy.
My feedback here, since I'm not allowed to post on a dev thread:
- Battery backup is acceptable with 2 days for me (Wifi off, Location off, low usage)
- Installed Calendar from PlayStore and calendar syncronization is working
- If you do not want to use Hangeout as you default sms client you can install 8sms from the PlayStore instead (which I did)
- Not Working:
- Wifi Tethering (@mukulsoni please add to not working list)
- voice search does not work for me (maybe someone else knows how to get it working?)
- overall performance (smartassV2, 240-710) is good but not snappy (I'm using a class 10 8GB sdcard).
Conclusion:
@all who are interested in KITKAT on our old P500, give the linked ROM a try - you won't be disappointed.

Did not like the Dec 27 build.
I am running the Omni preview which is more or less cm-11. Favorably impressed.
Offline voice search will not work on our armv6 device. Thanks Google.
Online voice does work. Use voice dictation or swype/dragon to get it into google search. Must tap search, but ...
Actually, something before getting the voice is what armv6 stops. I cannot reproduce how I got there, but I had it actually, init, take my voice and get results!! Once, just once. So ... who knows?

So it seems that online voice search is not working for now.
Why do you prefer the Omni preview? Could you please give some more details?

I took this because this is what is being developed right now, where fixes are going.
On-line voice does work. Go to settings->language&input->voice recognition. Since you are likely running with Google Search around, you will see two (count 'em) google options here. Choose the other one.
If you only see one, you need to install the old VoiceSearch.
Feedback - [DEV][ROM][4.4.2] [CM11] KITKAT for LG-P500[WIP][VER-3]
Changes between Ver1 and Ver3 I encountered
- battery consumption seems to be improved a little bit
- stock SMS/MMS app included now (no need for Hangout or 8sms)
- "national roaming" support seems to be gone now (new MVNO Settins are unclear for me - any hints are welcome)
- camera problems
- autofocus does not work anymore - focus does not go green (worked on Ver1)
- choosing HDR option leeds to FC of camera app (to disable HDR you have to clean App Settings)
Trying to record a video freezed the phone (gave me an FC on Ver1) - had to remove the battery.
Experiences from other users are welcome.
Ver6-New:
I am not able to install this version oder version 5 - status 7 error (some symlinks missing)
New Experimental released Jan 14, 2014
A new experimental build has been released at Jenkins.cm_p500-userdebug-cm-11.0:victory:
can not install Ver6-New - symlinks missing
I am not able to install this version over version 5 - status 7 error (some symlinks missing)
Has anybody a clue? I already downloaded this version twice.
I had no problems installing the old Ver6 before. Unfortunately I've deleted the old Ver6 ;-(.

I am not allowed to post in dev thread, so please be lenient towards me.
Back to my update problem: I already checked md5 hash and in Addition I repartioned and formatted my sdcard, formatted system and tried to flash via recovery (ver from 16th january) - but same error.
Is it possible that system of this rom is almost full and that some memory blocks of my system storage is dead? It is just an assumption or guess, but if too few memory could cause such an upgrade failure, which apps are secure to remove?
Once again, thx for any hints.

Ok, now try flashing any older cm 10.1 or 10.2 over the new recovery (jan16) and let me know the status. You can write on my thread after completing your 10th post.

I already installed version 5 which didn't cause any problems. But I will try an older cm version in addition. I'll post the result afterwards.
@mukulsoni: I installed 10.1.6 (hephappy) without any problems.
Could you please provide the old Version6 rom again. I want to install this version until there is a (I find) a solution for my specific problem.
Thanks in advance.

Strange, you are able to install version 5 but not 6! anyways here is the version 6 old link but install it over version 5 only. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49845686&postcount=482

Thank you for the link. I flashed that version 6 over version 5 sucessfully. As you said, it is really strange that i can not install the 6-new version. But for now I am happy with it. If you are able to find any possible explaination I am still curious to know of course.
It is time to create a new thread to avoid the others from going fully out of control.
My kitchen is finally working fine again, the test firmwares so far function within my expections.
I don't really need much for my needs, meaning my personal firmware will be quite basic.
But I would like to also provide some nice firmware for those out there currently not considering to upgrade to the 7.2.x firmwares.
The basic idea is to have something ready to be flashed with TWRP to get a fully working and mostly already updated 7.1 with full root rights.
What shall go in in terms of stock or additional apps is up to you guys.
A filemanager? Name it...
Additional video player? Again, let me know which one is prefered.
Maybe something like HaLauncher to get easy access to the non TV apps?
Or shortcuts to launch them from the default launcher?
Ad blocker maybe?
Or some Magisk modules?
I think you got the basic idea!?
This type of thread is more suited in general/guides than a dev thread.. at least until custom rom links are available
Fair enough, I then first make one, then add what might be needed, then start again.
Well, then just remove or delete the topic until then I guess....
Can't seem to be able to do it myself, so please go ahead.
Will post again once the rom is done.
This thread is created in support of Google Camera 7 by Parrot.
Share us your experience and unleash the true power of your camera sensor on RN7PRO aka Violet :highfive:
Capture any lighting condition be it Artificial, Daylight, Nightsight with just one initial setup.
Pre Requisites:
For Android Pie and Q
Clear Storage of any other Gcam mod
Uninstall any other Gcam mod
Install Gcam 7 by Parrot
Load the attached XML (Predefined settings) OR Customise the settings as per your taste
How to load an XML..?
As most of you already know, the XML file is a backup of the settings that you configure on Gcam 7 by Parrot.
To load an XML perform below simple steps.
Open File manager. Goto Internal storage-->GoogleCamera-->ConfigsCamera.
(Note: Folder names are case sensistive, in case you have saved your own settings, the above path will be generated automatically.)
Save the downloaded XML in "ConfigsCamera" folder.
Open the Gcam 7 camera app
Double click on the black space anywhere between Camera buttons below.
Choose the XML
(A drop down menu appears if multiple XMLs are saved, saving the XML with same filename will overwrite older filename).
Hit Restore button, the camera interface will auto-restart and you are ready for use.
Downloads
Recommended Gcam Version is Parrot V12 available for download HERE. Thanks to Parrot043 and his associated team :good:
All versions of Parrot Google camera are consolidated for dowload HERE. Many thanks to Celso aka S4turno at XDA.

FAQ's
Will it work if i am not rooted or with locked bootloader..?
Yes, Camera2api is pre enabled for our device. It should work straighaway on MIUI.
Doesn't work on xyz ROM. What do i do..?
First ensure Camera2api is enabled on your ROM. If yes, flash Gcam7_For_All.zip magisk module OR Flash HZQ_Gcam 7 Fix.zip TWRP recovery patch file.
Where are the magisk modules or patches...?
Please do some research online and find yourselves.
Camere Samples Here
Discussion/ Comparison/ Cross talks about other Gcam developers / Threads will not be entertained. Respect everyone, hate no one.
Can't download xml file via mobile browser. It directly opens the xml file.
You should upload xml file to somewhere else.

Closing the support thread
I am closing this thread as a newbie xda fellow member has got the administrative powers in a telegram group and is targeting the masses by making a discrimination between Gcam developers and forcing the masses to follow his personnel choices.
http://t.me/RedmiNote7ProPhotography
Screenshot attached as evidence. I opened this thread as there was no support or discussion about this particular gcam named Parrots gcam port. And yet been liked by many and willing for some guidance on its usage and settings. I can't help this community with such low minded thoughts.
I report @vlachorumsapiens for the offence. And close this thread. As the person finds me supporting Parrot Gcam is inferior to him supporting Arnova Gcam ports. Because he couldn't take the fact that Parrot Gcam took artificial lighting colors right with P4XL awb against Arnovas P2XL awb. Just that Arnova added him in private testing group Mr. V Sapiens assumes himself as a developer and targets a person in the mass.
I understand being part of xda since 2013 that anything apart from xda is not a major concern yet explaining why i choose to close is my freedom to speech. Submitting the report for your kind action please @Lupin The Third . Thank you.
Closed at op's request.

Hi, can you give me the source for Velvet cam port?
I installed it and i only have 3 modes available, so even though a shortcut from the launcher will take story shot and portrait, they are not available in the Camera interface. The camera is much faster I have to admit, but trying to install the initial G8x cam apk fails.
Thanx
check out this new feature after android 11 upgrade :
