Emulation || Running Lollipop 5.0 ROM on a Jellybean 4.2.2 device
Gentlemen,
I am a Gionee Elife E7 user. It runs on Jellybean 4.2.2. I wish to run this Lollipop 5.0 ROM on my E7.
But I dont want to flash it. Instead, I want to emulate it on my device. Like the same way how many people have run Windows XP on their Android device without actually disturbing the ROM installed on the device. I want to run this ROM on my Jellybean device. I guess this is known as Emulation.
Kindly provide help on this and the procedures required to do the same.

This is not possible, and no one has been able to "emulate" Windows XP on Android. Windows is closed-source and Windows XP does not work on ARM, only on x64/x86 architectures. And yes I know you're talking about emulation, but what you're saying is unrealistic of doing a virtual machine on your phone to a newer version of Android.
Google Now anytime
Is there a way to enable this on this rom? This is a nice feature and these options are grayed out under the google now settings.
Anyone else on sprint only have 1x after flashing this or is it just me
Voice in Google Now / Battery Life
Hey,
Does the Google Now Voice activation work with the screen off in this ROM? and what kind of battery life are you all getting on it?
Is there a way to flash this without having Google music thinking my phone is a new device? Thanks in advance.

I don't think so
I think there is a way to back up and restore the android device Id in titanium but I'm not sure of the procedure. I can find it on line but I was hoping some one who has successfully done it can attest to it working.
If you have titanium set to backup its data to the SD card the first time you launch it after flashing it will give you a pop up that says that the id has changed and asks if you want to change it back. Hit yes and the phone will reboot and it'll have the old id. Alternatively I think you can manage id's in titaniums settings as well
Yup I was just playing with that. But are we sure that will keep Google music from tagging the phone as a new device? Thanks again.
Can anyone confirm that restoring the android id stops Google music from recognizing the rom/phone as a new device? I hear this proposed as a solution but I've never heard that it actually works.
Loose call sound when i turn off touch sounds in settings. Comes right back up when i turn touch sounds back on. Not able to hear people I'm calling.

Fixed, thanks InstigatorX! Edited build.prop and the HDR+ option comes back to the stock camera app. Taking photos with it works fine, no FC.

I'm not sure if this is a permanent fix or not. But after I install everything I deleted velvet out of the priv-app folder rebooted my phone. Then download Google search from the play store and moved it from data to system(priv-app) and rebooted again. I know have ok Google on lock screen and all. Also aside note if you try to leave search just installed on data side it will not allow you to do any thing besides ok Google in the search app. You have to move to system to get full function.

I was using data2ext4 from TGF and I never lost something from it even if I've flashed alot of nightlies. The point is that, flashing a new ROM does not wipe data2ext partition (only if you format it yourself). So if you don't wipe before everything should be preserved including data2ext. Eventualy you should re-enable data2ext by using ADB command : "data2ext --enable".
What I usually do is just flash the new ROM, flash after that TGF's script and when I boot I have data2ext4 active and all content is there. If you use a different data2ext then I don't know. You should ask the developer of that

Rc4b commes pre-overclocked, did you overclock cm7.1 to match clockspeeds of rc4b before testing?
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Hi Im using the older version - not RC4 - sorry.
It's manually clocked down to 600MhZ with setcpu.
I'm sure it needs some tweaks - I'll give it another try. It's cool that it's possible to easily switch between the OSses -thanks to Clockwork Mod! ;-)

trouble with twitter apps
I has something troubles with any Twitter apps on this version of CM. After installation any app (twidroyd, ubersocial, native twitter etc.) couldn't connect to twitter server. Actually twitter working properly by the internet browser (standard).
P.S. CM 7.1 was been installed without gapps package over the previous stable. Still Android market is working OK

Hey, guys. I'm relatively new to the custom ROM scene, I've been using MavROM for a bit, and it was pretty sweet. But recently it's started crashing in some larger applications (plants vs zombies for example. but that's neither here nor there).
I suppose first I should clarify that I have a Verizon Droid 3 XT862 with Hashcode's Safestrap 3.10 installed. (which is really cool!)
I did some googling, and many suggest that I give AOKP a try. I downloaded KEXEC-JB-aokp_solana_unofficial_Nov-04-12.zip, KEXEC-cm-10-20121103-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip, and KEXEC-cm-9-20121108-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip. But here's the thing that confuses me, I've tried all three of them, and they all seem to run fine, but they all seem exactly the same. I was under the impression that these custom ROMs contain no added bloat or unnecessary apps, but all three come with an NFL app, and Blockbuster app, and a few others I can't seem to remove. And in the case of KEXEC-JB-aokp_solana_unofficial_Nov-04-12.zip, does the JB in the filename mean that it's meant for JellyBean compatible phones, or will it upgrade my phone to JellyBean? My phone still says it's running android version 2.3.4, and looks exactly the same as the stock GB OS it came with out of the box. So what's so JellyBean about it?
Am I missing something? Also, what's the difference between the versions I've tried? They all seem exactly the same in terms of cosmetics and functionality, but at the same time aren't bringing anything to the table that my old stock ROM didn't do.
Sounds like ur still booting into stock rom. You have to change rom slots in safestrap.

You're right! Thanks! That didn't occur to me, I had initially tried installing it using safestrap 2.10, but I guess I needed 3.05.
Another question, I now have AOKP installed in my second slot, and it boots fine. But I'm not able to access the play store, and I only see options to setup my Mail and Exchange accounts, but neither of them will let me hit Next to progress to the next step after inputting my password. I'd like to add my Google, Facebook, and Exchange accounts to get all my contacts back, but those don't appear to be options. I chose the Nova Launcher if that makes any difference. Was there a separate app package I was supposed to install with AOKP? I read that the CM series requires a separate package. Is AOKP like that?

Hi everybody,
This is my 1st thread. After try to find a solution from this forum, I decide to post my question here. Currently using Xperia V 4.3 .210 custom ROM from Steve Boss. My predictive dialer not working for a 2nd time after flash this ROM. At 1st, I believe I made a mistake to uninstall a few apk files in system app folder. I can't remember what apk file did I delete. Then, I decide to re-flash my ROM and the predictive dialer working again. I start uninstalling unwanted apps again but this time I'm doing it very carefully. Every apps deleted, I'll check this feature whether it affected or not. After finish uninstalling all unwanted app from my phone, I test again if predictive dialer stop working or not. Everything is okay.
But after a few days later, today I notice this feature not working again. Hopefully somebody can assist me how to make it working again without flash a ROM. Thank you.

1. Re-install sonyericsson.android.smartsearch.apk or Smartsearch.apk from a back-up.
or
2. Use EXDialer from the Play Store. It doesn't need Smart Search (at least not until 4.2, I can't say for 4.3 but I don't know why it wouldn't be the same).

Thank you so much bro. Yes I uninstalled the smartsearch apk without knowing it also relate to contact search. I always thought it is only for google internet searching. Just now, I opt to try Exdialer. After a few second, I can notice this app much faster than stock app. Stock app will take maybe 1 second to open. Thank so much for your help.
Hello!
i hope someone is able to answer this one?
i wonder if it is somehow possible to switch to a second installed TTS engine on Fire OS. I am blind and use the build in VoiceView screenreader which is quite good. But i want to use another text-to-speech engine from Acapela which i have installed from PlayStore.
Unfortunatelly the TTS settings only allow to switch between the preinstalled Amazon Ivona voices and not to switch to a different TTS engine. So i guess there must be a way to fix this.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I think the only way of doing this is with a rooted device. There are some safe ways to root your device and install custom ROMS. I do realize this could be a great leap considering the impairment but maybe you have someone that could help you in doing it. Also, as an aside, Google is releasing an app to allow one to entirely control their device with voice. They are beta testing this now with limited testers and hopefully it will be released to all shortly.
If you root, I would suggest using a safe ROM and rooting method, reading the Fire Original Android Development forum should point you in the right direction. My personal preference is to use the SuperTool and install the AOSP Fire Nexus ROM. Good luck and I appreciate your dilemma, just sorry there is not an easier solution.

Many thanks! I think i'll go that road. With the AOSP ROM: is it also possible to use the same amazon apps which are normaly preinstalled on the Fire? Most of them are really accessible.
Thanks again!

The AOSP ROM will firmly place you in the Google environment but you could still download Amazon apps once you install the Amazon Appstore application. But you may find the Google apps will suit your needs as well if not better. Keep us posted on your progress.
Hi,
i am perfectly fine with stock ROM and only one thing i would like to have beside. And it is Google phone app with capability to do search nearby places right from the phone app and the capability to see who actually calling behind unknown number.
I see some apks on apkmirror, but latest nonnexus apk is from 2016. So i rather ask here first. Do you guys tried this app and can confirm it has all the features i would like to have? Is it possible to have this app on our phone?
Do you have link to app for our device?

How is it possible user error if it wasn't designed for Oreo? you never mentioned what os it was meant for. In any case, it did not, in fact, work for Oreo. However I did successfully use it for 7. Thanks for your work.

At first, I was saying it's an operator error because it does work. Of course it doesn't work for Oreo it clearly states the date when I pulled the framework in May. The OP was asking to use an updated dialer in stock. I provided him the framework with the ability to do so.... I wouldn't specify why because I was answering the OP.

same procedure as non rooted devices, Install as normal apk
I can confirm that it works on Moto G5 Plus (Sanders), stock rom, rooted with Magisk. Installed the dialer framework from the post by @atrac17 above, then phone apk (v.11) from here. (Play Market installation was still showing as unavailable for my device.) Then all I needed to do was to change the default phone app to google phone rather than Moto. Thanks for your help, guys. Couldn't figure it out by myself.
So freaking annoying we have to do this!.. Why on earth do we need Moto's dialer?!
