@galaxyfreak .. Pls press thanks.. I want my first thanks from u

"Ok Google " Keyword
Found a way to get OK GOOGLE keyword to work on pico using @galaxyfreak 's CM11:victory:
go to build prop
find the line :
ro.config.low_ram=true
change this to
ro.config.low_ram=false
Save and reboot..
If you want it in your homescreen , just set google now launcher as your default launcher..
Its that simple:victory:

Google now launcher
Google now launcher is included in full gapps.. or you can download it from somewhere else..
without the launcher you can only use the keyword when on the google now app

browser crash
the original browser even can't launch. All the app with webview carsh.
thanks
that bug are in beta5.
RC1 is great but GPS is not working.

galaxyfreak gave new life to Pico

1. How do i overclock my processor?
2. GAPPS downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535682 does not have GMAIL, maps. Calender does not sync. How to fix these problems?

Here are the answers:
1. As of now overclock kernel is not available for RC1 you can use cody kernel : Here
2. Apps are removed in the package so that basic services are installed in our /system partition as our /system has less space.
You can download from playstore..
3. Yes. Play services are needed as this services contains syncing services for calender,gmail etc. This services are also needed for the play store and connect your google account to google servers..
In short its very imp and indeed needed.

What about the calender? it doesn't sync. And BTW how to flash that kernel n00b.

Click to expand...

I think it should sync.. Open the calender app.. then in settings connect your account.. I never used it so dont know if it will work for you or not..
To flash the kernel you need to have 2 partitions.. SD ext and sd-cache.. Total 3 - fat32-ext4(SD-Data)-ext4(SD cache)(65mb)
I hope you know how to make partitions..
After making partitions only you can use this oc kernel..
If you are palnning to this..
Then take a backup of your ROM..
Partition you card..
Restore the backup.. Reboot once..
Thne flash the kernel..

I just registered to xda, rooted phone like a week ago, had no need to post since community is awesome. But, for now I can't post links. Sucks ass.
Anywhore, calendar sync..
Whore it was to get it to work. I did it. Now, what you need is surprisingly simple:
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
Google it, its 140KB apk and install it like any other app. With it calendar works like a charm.
BTW, galaxyfreak, awesome kitkat, looove it! Cant wait for RC2, but since it won't get on any time soon and this RC1 isn't bad at all, you will get a lapdance, my treat

Move to Kirmani's Weeklies
Since galaxyfreak has stopped his work on Kitkat, move to @kirmaniarslan's Weekly CM11..
More smooth than galaxyfreak's rom as it does not have any frame capping..
No bugs to specify..:fingers-crossed:

[ROM/MOD 4.0.4] Multi-lang based on marius 3.5 ROM with good video recording, v3.5.2

This is a modified version of marius 4.0.4 ROM from here with a MULTI-LANG
I've just took the last 3.5 deodexed version and added languages to all applications I was able to, so it's now fully multi-lang version. I've been using it for the last 2-3 weeks and I've found following issues (they are the same as in 3.5 version):
- MMS work, but I was able to send MMS only when using 2G, so I guess it could be marked as solved
- Calendar don't work - THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!!!
But just in case I've removed the google calendar app from this ROM, you can install it from Play Store. Then after upgrading all Google apps you should be able to synchronize your calendar. If you still have problems with synchroniztion just go simply into Settings/Account settings and uncheck/check calendar synchronization few times, it will start working after few tries (even up to 10 tries). You could have the same problem with contact synchronization, but just do the same thing as with calendar.
- Battery is another problem. For me the phone didn't worked longer then 24hrs (battery is quite new - 6 months), I wasn't able to do anything about this, as far as I've found in marius thread this is one of the problem that others also have, so I guess it will have to stay like this.
- I wasn't able to install any of Backup applications (Titanium Backup, My backup PRO, ...). To solve this you will have to install the app from recovery (works for 100%).
- I didn't have time to check other things.
DO A FULL WIPE before upgrading from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2.
Here is an installation instruction, if you want this ROM working do it STEP BY STEP:
1. Download ROM from here
2. Download SMS/MMS application (I've simply forgot to add it to ROM, so there is the old not multilang version) here
3. Reboot to recovery.
4. Perform a full wipe (except SD card of course)
5. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT STEP - reboot the phone to recovery before installing the ROM (4ext has such options in Power Menu, I don't know if other recoveries have it) - If you install the ROM right after wiping the old one without reboot you have 90% of chances that after the phone boots up you will have a lot of FCs from some google apps, reboot solves this problem.
6. Install ROM - after installation phone will be rebooted and you will have to configure it for the first time (multilang since 3.5.2)
7. If you get a lot of FCs after reboot do a full wipe again, recovery reboot (try to do this twice) and install ROM once again.
8. Install SMS/MMS app, I've forgot to add the multilang version to ROM, I will fix that in next release.
OPTIONAL:
9. Download DaemonController from here and adjust your CPU settings.
10. If you prefer the launcher that is in default 3.5 ROM you can download it from here
ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING!!!!!
If after adding a google account you see a lot of FCs from Play Store, Talk ... don't worry about that. Just reboot your phone and open those apps at least one time, then the FCs are gone.

Changelog:
version 3.5.2 9/7/2014
- No separate multilang package, all is now included in 1 zip file
- No only-Polish version will try to build one if I find some time for it, better don't use the lang package from 3.5.1 because it has unsigned apps.
- MMS are working now, you have to use 2G when sending a MMS, works for me
- You can backup and restore your ROM from recovery now without the bootloop (all apps and framework have been re-signed)
version 3.5.1 - First release. 25/6/2014

TODO:
1. Replace settings with the one from default ICS ROM - still got a lot of FC's
2. Replace systemui with the one from default ICS ROM - still got a lot of FC's
3. you tell me, and I look at it in a free time (I don't have it much)

In marius 4.0.4 ROM v 3.5 It was not possible to install cracked apps, Is it the same for this rom too??
And xposed was not working ( it was installed but greenify and other modules were not working), Is it fixed??

Like I've already wrote, This is a modified version of marius 4.0.4 with a MULTI-LANG. The only things I did was to change the launcher and recompiled all apps with more languages. So I guess it has the same problems as marius ROM. Like I wrote, the base of the ROM wasn't changed. Try installing alogcat and look what is causing problems. As for cracked apps, installing them from recovery solves installation problem, the same as with Titanium Backup and MyBackup PRO which I'm using.

Thanks for your contribution to the best working ICS rom out there!
Are you able to revert the status bar back to stock ICS?

Hey mesiu84 you are :good: :good: :good: :good:
Could you remove the chinees language too,or guide me how to do that, so the rom size in system partition become smaller
At present time, I am focusing on this rom try to find solutions for bugs, I believe this rom will be stable and fast comparing with others.

Removing different languages takes some time, I've used apktool to decompress and build each apk file from marius ROM. I wouldn't like to do that once again I think this have to stay like this, unless you want to do this on your own, it took me almost 3 days to find the translations for all apps and recompress them once again.

Successor is QISS Media. Do you write them?
As I recall, they never release the source code. I suppose because it could reveal something, which no one wanted to.
The remains of the project for Bravo remained at code.google.com
Maybe I helped a little.

play store
thanks for your work, does this alpha release has the play store and does this works on doge2 build?

great job Xdagee

thanks for the gapps package. The installation works, but the first boot assistant didnt worked right for me. He asked me for location and wlan, but not for my google account infos. So I cant get my google account infos in the phone, or is there any way to do this after the first boot assistant? Without the google account infos the gapps package is useless for me, because I cant open the playstore.

This shouldn't be in desire Hd forum

I tried a second time to install the doge 2 preview rom with the gapps, but I got the same error again.
First I have to select the Language, when I choose one I get "System UI has stopped" but after some seconds the installer runs normal to the next step. Then I have to choose my home wlan, this works too. But after I get a successful connection to the wlan the installer wants to check the connection, which takes around 2 minutes, after that it checks for updates for 3 seconds. Normally I would now be asked for my google account infos, but the installer just asks me for my name and quits after that. I think there is an error while the installer checks for an internet connection, so that the installer thinks, that there is no connection to the internet, so he doesnt ask for the google account.
I tested it two times with the same results. I even tried to create an google account afterwards via accounts, but I can only add an normal email account.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing this.
But, I got this warning message after download the gapps zip: "... may harm your browsing experience, so Chrome has blocked it". Only dismiss button there. Not sure how to handle this. Is there any malicious apps included?

hello mate just wanted to ask a question before installing both doge and gapps , what about the android Android 5.0.1 update , will it be added for this later?

play store

Did the installer ask you for your Google account? It didnt works because you need a google account for playstore. I have the same problem

Quick update on Playstore not opening.
Hello guys I have been debugging on the issues you have raised prior to the upload I made. Thank God I have a solution to the problem. Hopefully I will upload a new build as soon as I get a stable connection. Whiles you wait for it. Keep in mind that this package is tested on Mustaavalkosta's CM12 Doge II builds on the Desire HD. Any other issues with regards to others device, ROM related or gapps packages should be addressed to the official PA builds or to the ROM developer.
Have a nice day & enjoy your weekend.
Best regards

Thank you for all the effort you put into this. All the issues I wrote about were on the Desire HD with the Doge 2 build. I tested a different gapps package where the installer asks for the google account informations, but after installing the first apps the playstore gets broken too. At the moment there is no gapps package that works with this doge 2 build without errrors I think.
Ps.: Maybe this thread should be under desire hd general or desire hd android development so that it is easier to find

New build works fine. Thanks!

Currently the update works fine, and it has been into packages (nano & pico).
You could try them out. Dont forget to provide feedback.
Quick Help: how can i move this thread to the requested thread

I tested the nano gapps with the Doge 3 build and now playstore works, but in the installer my phone fails to get a connection to the Google Servers, so I did it manual via account settings. The automatic reinstallation of my old apps did not work for me, maybe because I set up my Google account manual.

[ICS/4.0.3+]Android Messenger App [ported]

Hi there ,
Now I am gonna present the MMS app for all ICS+ devices . I am a Samsung Galaxy user and I am very depressed with their stock MMS app . So I searched hours on the Internet for a better MMS app . I found some apps on Play like Textra which are good but I need a real android themed one . Finally I got a jellybean tablet and I found a better app in it . So I just ported it myself and also presenting to you . It just look like the CM messenger app .
Anyway it works on all ICS+ devices ( 4.0.3 + /API 15 + ) .
This app is not created by me and I only have the credit of the port . I am not responsible for any type of damages or bricked devices if occurred (no chance for damages but I am just saying in case )
This app can be installed as a user app too . Anyway I am covering to install as system app . If you're familiar with android , just avoid the installation proceedure and choose which one better for you like ADB , Flashing , Root Explorer or ordinary app installer .

Creating google account fails on server error

Hello,
I just installed CM 13 (nighly build 2016-01-29) on my Galaxy S4 mini following those two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-13-0-s4-mini-t3276141
I also installed the Google Apps:
http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano
The only thing a bit special is that my phone is a Korean version (SHV-E370K) , whereas I selected firmware for the i9195 version.
The problem I have is that I cannot create my Google account. It always fails with a message telling me it cannot connect to the Google servers and that I should try later.
I searched xdadevelopers site for such problem, but could not find any solution.
I have no problem accessing Internet with phone (wi-fi or through GSM data service).
Any idea ?
Many thanks
Marc
