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.

Same, it's pretty well done! I'm on Bean's TW so maybe that has something to do with the bugs.
I'll give it a shot, I haven't had any problems with Hangouts, might actually use it for SMS....
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

I'm going to try it again. Did you install the kk launcher or are you using Nova? I dont think that would make any difference but just checking.
I am having trouble with the launcher it comes up Google search not found..does anyone know how to fix this pls thank u...also do I need to delete the old apps as well like the old gmscore?
Edit: I had to install the 3 apks as well

I had many FCs especially Google+ which would bring all else to a stand still. I resorted to flashing my nandroid backup and chalked it up to experience. I t did give me a taste of the new launcher which was interesting.
Hey all I ported Miui v6 to Nexus 7 this weekend and I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in a port for your tablet. I don't personally have the tablet but I can work with someone to get it ported.
You'll have to know enough about the tablet to flash custom ROMs and also provide me with logcats and screenshots.
Let me know and I can get a port going
Sure.

Whats not:
- Play Services FC at boot

- Launcher is laggy and dropping frames like no tomorrow (minor problem ^^)
Will update later. Playstore is missing. I'm not sure if intended. I'll try flashing a gaps package i have over top to see what works...
So far i'm really impressed for you not having the devices at all! Great work man, keep it up!

Thanks for the reply!
Miui doesnt include Gapps, however there is the gmscore.apk in the Apps folder that i forgot to remove that gives that Playstore FC at bootup. I will fix that. You will likley have issues with G-apps because of that.
I will remove it and reupload with some other fixes that you mentioned. You can also remove it yourself with an app like root explorer from the Apps folder or you can open the ROM in 7-zip or similar and remove that apk then reflash
Not sure what to do about that slow launcher. Would need a logcat on that one.
Also not sure about small icons in the qucil launch area. I may have to modify the framework a little to getit bigger but Im guessing it wont work becuase of the N10 vs N7 display resolution
Any other FCs? I remember having Keyboard and NFC FCs when I first booted mine
Also, how does the About page look in Settings? Was hoping that I got the build.prop info on the first shot.

Flashing a non-miui Gapps package wrecked the whole system ^^
I'm now loading a gapps package from a hammerhead v6 port and will see.
No keyboard FC so far. I'll look into it when it's back up and running. Since the N10 doesn't have NFC, no problems there either.
I'll do a logcat once i know if i can get the playstore to work or not. Thats my main problem right now.

The Keyboard defaults to Voice-Input with Gapps installed. So you have to skip through setup and make the keyboard standard before entering your accounts.
Working:
- Gapps (Playstore, Mail, Contact sync to miui contact app, youtube... no problems so far)
- Camera (front, back, all modes)
- USB File transfer (Mac)
- Music App (MP3 & Flac, Tags, Lyrics Download, Cover download)
Not Working:
- randomly the keyboard defaults to chinese, although english was selected beforehand
Edit: i'll not try the new build, as the changes won't affect me with the Gapps package installed.
Edit 2: the launcher lags only when moving to the most left page (the widget only page)
Changed my lcd.density to 360 (268 original). Something around 320 would be perfect i think.
So far really nothing to complain about. Everything works. I'll keep using it today and tomorrow in school extensively. If you want me to test anything specific, let me know.
And one more time: I've waited for this a long time, so your work is really much appreciated on my side!

Not a bug just not an option. Like Miui themes.... The entire theme engine is missing from v6 as well as some other things too that you would normally find in other Miui ROMs

I am on wifi but never had this problem with Alliance Rom. Do I need to change a setting? I'm using stock messaging. Could it be that I am using a different kernel other than stock?

I have heard other users report that issue before with 3rd party kernels in the main thread. I have tried the function on the stock rom (granted quite a while ago) and it did work perfectly. I would try flashing the stock kernel and see if the issue persists.
Didn't see there was this [email protected] forum. Awesome. I'm on v8. When I try to view pictures via stock gallery they won't auto rotate. Wondering if I'm missing something. Thanks

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

Do I need to redo this whole procedure everytime I updated my FB Messenger app?

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'd love to hear from @rovo89 as to whether forcing apps to install as vmSafeMode=true is in fact a "solution".

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)

Thanks for the reply. Yes im using the latest version (v1.0.2)
Havent used any pevious version.
User @VincentJoshuaET in our Telegram group found a way to enable it with root. Without any further ado, let’s get into it. Keep in mind that you should already have Magisk (or any other rooting solution)

Requirements:
BETA MESSENGER IN GOOGLE PLAY STORE (Or search it on the internet)
Rooted Phone
Terminal Emulator
It should work on all rooted devices with Beta Messenger installed.
Confirmed working on my Pocophone F1
(Magisk v16, HavocOS custom rom installed)
The original full guide is posted here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-dark-mode-facebook-messenger-root/amp/
Waiting for official release in non-beta
thanks for sharing this, works perfect on nitrogen os
Thanks a lot, works here on MIUI 10.1.3 stable !

Because it's a beta feature that Facebook hasn't chosen to make available yet. It's technically there but not activated. This tutorial helps you to activate it manually if you want.
I don't see Facebook making a zip for you to flash
Or anyone making one just for a simple modification like this.

Hum...
Can you please check you are using the beta version of the app ?
Here's the link to register as a beta tester : I'm a link !
Once you've signed up, going to the play store page for messenger should show "update" instead of "open".
Then try again.
Tell me if it works !

Unfortunately, no. Facebook announced only the dark mode on Facebook Messenger app. I tried to find ways to have dark mode for Facebook. I found substratum few days ago and I though it was gonna work but no. Facebook app updates every week and they deliberately scrambles the codes so that it cannot be tampered. Devs and for the theme makers find this difficult because it is frustrating and totally a waste of time. Facebook should add dark mode too. Although, substratum is good for making layouts and templates for other apps like Instagram, Google app, Google Maps, YouTube, etc., especially changing an app's theme (from stock theme to dark theme) it depends on what theme package you've installed because some packages lacks other apps. I totally recommend to use substratum. Here, I have some screenshots.

I'm going to post a new thread, I will quote you later.
Edit: I'm just gonna send you a link on how. Systemless Magisk module is available too. And just search for themes available on the internet or in the Google Play Store.
