How do I post a log for the flash issue?
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk HD
I had a problem as Civ stated on 2.1. However I flashed 2.2 over the top of this and have not had a single issue with flash and the stock browser. I know this isn't helpful, but many are reporting the flash issue was fixed so I will suggest doing a clean install. Wipe the caches and reinstall before the log cat.

It's the custom carrier name under Xblast Tools. Go into Xblast Tools and remove both custom label for carrier name and reboot.

My experience from flashing is that during a dirty install, it's advisable to do a wipe of the caches to avoid problems though that will mean resetting all the accounts and passwords and a longer first time boot.

ROM is awesome, only things I don't really like are the home button and the bandwidth meter on the notification bar. Having looked through the tutorials on how to add that stuff I don't think I really have the skill to pull off removing them. Would it be possible to add them as aroma extras in the future, or if someone with the know how could post a flashable zip with those bits removed from what ever framework files they are added to that would be awesome.
Hello,
First, thank you civato for the awesome rom.
I've sent this question a few days ago in its own thread but had no response, hopefully I will get a response in the rom's QA thread:
I use the The Verge app quite a lot. It used to work in 4.1.2 version of CivZ rom but stopped working in versions 4.2.2 (Civz 1.5 and now FlexBeam 2.2).
The app FC's after the initial splash screen with exception "java.lang.RuntimeException: native typeface cannot be made".
Below is the full stack trace from logcat:

I have a Galaxy S4 with 4.2.2 installed (prerooted stock) where the FC does not happen, but still I'm not sure if it's a rom/android version issue or something else.
Can anyone try to install the app from the Play Store and check if the same happens?
Note: I went as far as decompiling the app and making a test app using the same fonts, but that works without problems.
Thanks

Well it is app problem as it got problem sto load the fonts in the assets folder of the app.
If you google for it you will come across more info.
I see the use .otf fonts and not .ttf fonts in the app. I'm not a app dev so for some reason it won't work on the note8.0.
If I find more about it I will try to sort it out. But in my opinion it is a app problem.

Hello CIV.
I tested your rom today, and have 2 problems:
1st:
it seems that " Note 2 hidden Settings " apk is nor working on this 4.2.2. version I tried to have Sub symbols on Samsung keyboard, (as it exist on the Solo's rom) but the changes was not applied. ( and the program stop ).
What can I try to have these Sub-Symbols on Samsung keyboard?
==========
2nd: I read your comments about :
Odex the rom for smoothnes. Thanks to MatrixDJ96
su(enter)dexo -all(enter)
More info here
And tried to do it...
So I installed the scripts and after a reboot, started the " dexo -all " ...
After some minutes, and an automatic reboot, I saw that a lot of APKs have desapeared ! ( not apks installed in DATA, but , for example, all Samsung 'native' appli.
Did you test it?
Anyway, Thanks again for your work, and I am a bit disapointed that you plan to give away the 5100 support in your future version.
But I anderstand why you choose to .
Kind regards.

sub symbols are natively supported in this rom. There is no need to install another apk for it.

hmmm, I'm sure. Mine has all the sub symbol. maybe try to clear the cache of the Samsung keyboard app and reboot.
edit: what language keyboard are you using?
edit 2: I believe it's French. I can see the Fr is included under the special symbol setting in the csc file. Therefore it should be working unless the apk messed up the csc file.
Edit 3: ok, my bad. I downloaded the Fr input and it isn't working for the Fr input >. <
Edit 4: ok, u need to replace the following block in your others.xml in /system/csc
*u need a root file explorer and mount your System to R/W. Copy and rename the original file if needed in case something goes wrong. It's kinda system file so do it at your own risk. A reboot is necessary after editing.

You used a app (Note2 hidden app settings) that overwritten the csc other.xml or replaced it with a custom feature.xml
Go to system/csc and make sure you delete the feature.xml if there is any. The others.xml needs to be there
Now reboot.

Actually the app did not mess up the files. The original file in the rom did not include the required keyboard codes. I tested by enabling the French input on my Note 8. There were no symbols.
There are different French keyboards just like the the English ones (en_GB, en_US etc). The codes I extracted from my Note 2 (in fact from the same app) covers all the keyboard codes, I believe.

Is there an option to turn on/off debugging mode? I cannot find developer options in the settings any longer.
I am also concerned about flashing new roms. I have tried flashing different roms (wanted to try the CM 10.2 and potentially try the stock roms. However, Every time I try to flash any other ROM I get errors. ..and because I cannot turn on/off debugging mode, I cannot use the toolkit or ODIN, and I cannot seem to get a clean wipe of the system. I tried reset device in settings and wiping everything, including caches, in recovery.
I Took pictures of some of the errors I am getting when I try to wipe cache, flash other roms, or do other activity.

I assume u r on a 4.2.2 rom. The developer options are hidden by default. To unhide, go to
Settings > about device > tap on "build number" 7 times
The developer options will appear before the "about device" option in settings.
Seems like u have a Recovery problem. Maybe try going to the recovery thread for help?

Ok, so here is my problems
I got MIUI Android 2.9.29 on my S3. I just upgraded to version 2.10.26. The update process includes wipe cache, dalvick cache, flash new rom on top of old one without wipe clean, then flash google apps.
After the installation, I found that I don't have Google Maps any more. So I go to Google Market and download Google Maps, and I got the error below:
"Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID"
I have searched all over the internet and I can't find a solution working for me at all. Some of the proposed solution that I have found:
Install ROM Toolbox and remove the previous Maps app ===> I can't do this since there is no Maps app in Setting/Application
Install SD Maid and use corpse finder to remove old apps ===> I have done this but still same result
Fresh install of everything ====> Have not tried it yet since I will lose all my settings and SMS.
I would have post it in the MIUI thread but I am considered to be a noob (under 10 post) so can't post there yet. If anyone can help, greatly appreciated it.

No, this is MIUI Android ROM, the option to change dpi is not available. The only ROM that I have seen that allows changing of DPI is paranoidandroid ROM.

Actually you can edit your build.prop of any ROM to change the dpi. But what is the exact error you have? Can you post a screen shot please?

Well, I just nandroid back to my stock, deodexed ROM. If I want to take that screen shot, I got to switch to MIUI again. It is a bit of a hassle.
Basically, based on my description of the problem above, when I go to Google Play and install Google Maps. A message popup with the error message below:
"Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID"
When you hit OK, the popup went away and Google Maps's installation is a failure (no installation). Not sure how to fix it. You can read my original post above and see what I have done so far trying to fix it, but none has worked so far. I got tired of it so I switched back to the old stock ROM using Nandroid.
I think the only way to fix this problem is to do a clean installation, but it kinds of defeat the purpose since I want to keep all my old settings in MIUI.

Did you use the same MIUI ROM ver 2.10.26? or it is a diffrent ROM? I don't know about other ROM. But for MIUI, I think you need to do a clean install as the only solution. I have tried to look up other threads and ask for help but no one was able to give a working solution. You can tried some of the method I list in my first post above. Some people say it works (not for me), but won't hurt to try.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219029
I just posted it on Note 2 forum but I think that's also interesting for S3 users. Hopefully some experienced dev has enough time to go further than what I could
Basic info about porting apps from S4 to Note 2 or S3:
The system dump of Galaxy S4 was leaked so I tried to find out the .jar and .so dependencies of each apk in order to make some apps working on Galaxy S3 Note2 and Galaxy S3.
1-I found out that some apps were specilly developed for 4.2.2 but that shouldn't something difficult to fix
2-As usual, most apps not only depend on .so files but also on .jar files from /sytem/framework (specially ext.jar, core.jar, framework.jar and framework2.jar. As I don't have a clue about modding .jar files I couldn't go further on my experiment
S Translator with voice recognition working
At least I managed to have a better S Translator with voice recognition working thanks to the necessary .so file.
However it still force closes if you tap on "history" or "preset phrases", it could be fixed if someone knows how to port 4 specific .jar files.
Edit:Updated so now you can flash it via CWM instead of copy&paste with root explorer.

Giving it a go now, seems pretty promising

Edit: I made a mistake so dont flash it, jus5 uncompress it and copy the apk to system/app and the so file to system/lib
also not working here
Hey, I used yours and fixed it just to try it, here is a working .zip file to flash with CWM : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/98702838/Stranslator.zip
I deleted the UI prints in the updater script (I do that all the time, I can't help), deleted framework folder because it was empty, and moved the so file to /lib
Voice recognition works (testing in french and english) but it won't translate anything (I get the message : unsuspected error) on android 4.1.2 XXEMA2 ( I know it's not 4.2.1, just wanted to try for fun )
Looking forward for the next version, and hoping someone will do the same for smart pause which I'm really looking forward for !
Edit : also added a "mount" code that doesn't rely on busybox, I've had some troubles using run_program( busybox mount ... ) with some people and my mods.
Edit : Working on 4.1.2, I just wasn't logged in my Samsung account.
Great work !
Has anyone gotten this to work on 4.2 S3?

UPDATE 12/2/2013: The tutorial will remain for users who would like to change their own settings within the ROM or just like doing things themselves. However, I have included a Google Drive link to a modded ROM to skip most of the process, meaning you can just move this file to the root of your storage and flash and go from there. The link will be under Resources and I will try to update every Friday, no guarantees as I go to school and finals are coming up.
Hey guys, today I have a tutorial for anyone attempting to install MIUI v5 for the LG Optimus G LS970. I myself was totally hooked on this ROM seeing as it is totally different from Android yet still holds true to a lot of what Android is. Some setbacks are that this runs on Android JellyBean 4.2, a little dated for certain people and also not all options work, and you can scour around to figure out what those are as I personally have not testing everything. I do know that NFC is having problems and some people are having issues with phone services but there are workarounds that I will list in the resources below. Now for the tutorial.
*Note: This is what I did to get this to work based on the information found in the LS970 thread for MIUI v5 (linked below) and my constant attempts to see whats wrong, Im in no way a professional nor a developer just a user who wants to get things done. This may not work for everyone. If your phone messes up, I hold no responsibility as you did this out of your own choice and you have been warned. Credits go to siulmagic for the LS970 port and the work he was able to do with it, hopefully he can continue development. Credits also go to 2nd Sky for providing the basis for the tutorial. Links to their profile will be listed in the resources as well.
--Tutorial--
You will be flashing the F180/E975 ROM version of MIUI v5, and it is said you must install the recovery for the E975 in order to flash a ROM from this device, however this was not needed.
The following files will need to be downloaded:
7-Zip: http://www.7-zip.org/
LS970 MIUI ROM: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489996359
F180/E975 MIUI ROM: http://rom.miui.com/download/view/359381#top (click the red button to download)
Custom Recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ta3ecb4r4cq0b99/TWRP-2.6.3.0-LS970(sprint).zip (This is the latest TWRP version, but I used version 2.4.4.0, yet I do not think this matters)
Step 1: Install 7-Zip onto your PC. Once you have all files downloaded move all of them to the ROOT of your phone EXCEPT the F180/E975 ROM. This will not work if the files are not on the root as I have come to notice.
Step 2: Open up the F180/E975 ROM with 7-zip (it is a zip file). Navigate to the updater-script file and open it with Notepad (the location of the updater-script is META-INF-->com-->google-->android). To open with Notepad just double click the updater-script file and you will be ask to choose a program, choose Notepad of course. DO THIS ALL FROM THE ZIP FILE, DO NOT EXTRACT ANYTHING.
Step 3: With updater-script open, you will delete the following line:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "e975" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "e975");
That includes the semi-colon. Save the file within Notepad and close. Once you close 7-Zip will prompt you that the file was modified and if you would like to save, hit YES. This will now modify updater-script within the zip file. Let that finish and now the zip can be moved to the root of your phone along with the other files. OPEN UP UPDATER-SCRIPT WITHIN THE ZIP TO MAKE SURE THE CHANGE WAS MADE, I GOT AN ERROR WHEN I TRIED FLASHING AND IT WAS BECAUSE 7-ZIP DID NOT SAVE THE MODIFED UPDATER-SCRIPT. CLOSE THE ZIP FILE AND RE-OPEN IT AND CHECK ONE MORE TIME BEFORE TRANSFERRING TO THE ROOT OF YOUR OPTIMUS.
Step 4: Now flash install TWRP. If you do not have a custom recovery to begin with you can download Goo Manager from the Play Store and install through there and update if required. I did a dirty flash of MIUI, meaning I flashed without factory reset or anything. There is no need for GAPPS as they are already built into the ROM. Go into your custom recovery and you will want to flash the LS970 ROM. If all goes well it will install without problems and you can reboot into system and setup MIUI. If you get errors during install or afterwards, try wiping the system within TWRP and try again. All you want to do is just get to the homescreen for MIUI.
Step 5: Once you have been sent into the MIUI homescreen for the first time, you will boot into recovery again and proceed to flash the F180/E975 ROM. There should be no issues and the flash should go smoothly. There is no factory reset or clearing of cache because MIUI takes this as an update to the previous ROM, so when you boot back into MIUI you will go directly to the homescreen. Now, reboot back into recovery for the final time and wipe data then factory reset and reboot into system for a nice clean MIUI v5 setup. Enjoy your new ROM!
--FAQs--
Ask them in the thread, questions will be added to this post as well as their answers and whoever answered it.
1. Can this ROM be updated?
Yes the ROM can be updated, however OTA does not work currently until someone finds a fix. A workaround is downloading the updated ROM manually from the website (or on the phone) and following the instructions listed above and then flashing the modified updated ROM. Unfortunately this takes more time but if you want an updated MIUI v5 this is the only way to get it as of now and as of my knowledge.

Nice write-up, dude! This is sure to help everyone who wants to run MIUI, including myself. Quick questions, how's it running? Like with data, MMS, SMS splitting, all that good stuff. I know we have some problems with our native build, so does the newer updates fix stuff? And speaking of updates, do they work flash and work properly? Thanks once again!!

My phone is not activated under any carrier so I cannot test things like that. However I can say the camera works generally good, its a stock Android camera and has features youd expect. Focus works fine unlike on the LS970 MIUI build where focus for some reason wouldnt work. Newer updates do fix things and you can few changelogs on the MIUI forums. Unfortunately OTA does NOT work but you do download the update, it just fails to flash and Im currently trying to figure out a workaround. I will post my findings to the OP if I get it to work.
So theoretically, if I go into the updaterscript, and change the APN's, the ROM should work just fine?

Might be safer for us to dirty flash over our working build.

If you dirty flashed the e975 version then it would fail while installing correct? If the updater lines weren't removed I don't see how it wouldn't fail.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I havent tried dirty installing over the LS970 ROM without removing those lines but it does not seem likely to work at all, the ROM is basically being told the phone is an E975 and to update/install E975 firmware. Removing those two lines skips this entirely and the ROM simply flashes. However in the phone information MIUI will display that your phone is an E975 rather than an LS970. As for the APNs attempt that within the ROM, I was told they work but that certain APNs may not for reasons unknown.
Can someone post up the modified file? I only have a cellphone so I can't try this.
My new USB cable comes in tomorrow so I will be able to test my update workaround seeing as my current USB cable does not like transferring files for some reason. If all goes well I will post a modified ROM file for those who cannot do it themselves and people will need to return here for the modified ROM file to flash to update the firmware, or you can download the original firmware from the MIUI website when an update is available and follow the tutorial.

Alright guys here is the zip that worked for me after I tweaked the network in the build prop and deleted the updater script lines. Install the ls970 miui as normal (wipe system,data,cache,dalvik) and after you reboot and get to the homescreen go back into recovery and dirty flash this zip (don't wipe anything). I can confirm that 3g works and gps locks for me. Hope this helps some people who want to give miui a try. Let me know if the download link isn't working. http://www.4shared.com/zip/vZYCphn2/miui_f180_rogue_31122_1f540bef.html?

Weird. I noticed that after installing the new apns and rebooting I got the phone force close and lost service, however with just dirty flashing my zip over the ls970 miui I got 3g at least to work and show service.
So here are the steps I follow to use the Sprint LG G2 (ls980) with any rom on Tmobile or AT&T in the US
*This thread is specifically for the LS980. Some of the information might apply to other phones, but I can't say for sure.
***Caveats of using this phone Tmobile or AT&T:
-LTE doesn't work. Missing lte bands. Highest we get is hspa+.
-Haven't tested Custom Kernels
-instead of 4g or LTE logo, it says gsm all of the time (paid app that will safely change icons without system crashes linked below)
-Had to use 3rd party app to change radio and apn settings (see below)
-Wifi on stock 4.4.2 didn't turn on twice in the last 2 weeks when coming from a wakeup. Had to reboot to fix.
Again, I did not do any work. I have only compiled this information from various forums. Most of this work comes from cloudyfa, the find from pvinodnayak, the unlock from ysabxe and countless members in the sprint unlock forum and the old sprint build prop forum before the unlock was released. I have just compiled information. Thank op's for their work.
There are multiple ways to use the Sprint LS980 on Tmobile or AT&T. Before we get into them, please do the following:
- root phone with ioroot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522346
- use autorec to install TWRP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
*If you notice now that when you screen goes to sleep, and when you try to activate the screen it shows a whole bunch of white lines, boot into recovery and install the G2PanelSwap. [/url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792844[/url]
There are 2 ways to accomplish using our phone. (be sure to scroll down to the bottom to see the 2nd way. You might want to to this instead of the first way.)
1st Way - Use your phone on Stock Sprint Software
***If you are already on the ZVC firmware, people have noted problems using the following instructions..There are constant system crashes. It is recommended to restore back to an earlier version, make the changes below, then take the ota upgrade. You can go back to stock by following this guide.
LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) - xda-developers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
If you prefer to stay on ZVC, please follow jsergio123's guide found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52915223&postcount=814
1-setup phone and Download root browser
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
and a rar extractor.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar
2-Download the ls980simfinalunlock.rar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
3-extract the rar and copy the carrier contents and use root.explorer to over write the files in the root carrier folder.
4- Download Rom toolbox lite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox
and use it to Update the build.prop (reboot between each. You can turn on airplane mode in the meantime to stop the system ui from crashing)
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
persist.service.crash.enable=1
Found from this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49945052
*After trying numerous build.prop edits, I have found that they all cause system crashes. Please only use the ones listed above. If you hate the GSM icon, I have found a way to change it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.ptoti.g2_tweaksbox . Install it, and then buy the premium pack for $1. (cmon its only a buck.) After you unlock all features, Click on Theme Tweaks -> and make sure Enable Theme MOD is selected. Then click on Status bar. Then make sure Enable Status Bar Mod is On. Then scroll down "Change status bar's icon set" You can choose through different icons from different carriers. I prefer the Tmobile one. They will take affect after reboot.

*To fix the issue of the com.android.phone process crashing when you don't dial a 1 in front of the number edit the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file with a SQLlite editor and change in the "system" table "assist_dial" and "assist_dial_init_db_check" to "0". If you don't see those 2 rows then you can add them. Fix permissions, wipe cache and reboot.
Another workaround is that I have found an app that will automatically add 1's to every one of your contacts.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maplekeycompany.apps.numberfixer
Install it and open it -> click Add area/country code -> change the dropdown to 10 and hit ok -> and in the area code, erase the area code part leaving just the number 1 -> Fix all. It will prompt you for how many numbers it will add the number 1 to all contacts.
2nd Way - Flash a rom
After you have Rooted and Flashed and possibly the G2Panelswap , you may want to consider installing a rom that works out of the box. It is much easier.
Here is a list of roms that work out of the box that I have personally tested. I know there are more.
***Update***
In all of cloudyfa's latest rom builds they do not work out of the box. I had to install the rom without my sim card in. Then download and install rom toolbox lite (see step 4 above) and change ro.carrier to spr (make sure its lowercase.)
I then turned off my phone, put in my sim card, installed radio switcher (link in step 5 above) and chose WCDMA preferred. Everything worked after that.
Cloudystock =stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661866

CloudyG3 =G3 port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783192
Let me know in the forum what other roms you find that work out of the box and I will link them here. Please remember that unless a rom specifically states it works for AT&T or Tmobile, or is a general rom that is 1 rom made for different versions of the phone, than it most likely won't work. There are lots of roms to look through in the G2 development section as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development
Very interesting. . I struggle to do many of these and after reading thru your I find it so easy. . Thanks for your post. .
I have two queries
1. Can we flash any T-Mobile Rom or it has to be a Sprint one
2. Do we need to change the modem or stock zvc modem would work
3. Does WiFi hotspot work.fine.with the stock Rom
Thanks

Should I just start from Step 8?
I already followed the "Permanent SI Unlock for LS980 (OTA, APN) JB 4.2.2, KK 4.4.2" thread, so I did the following extra steps "To make APNs stick automatically:", is this fine?
To make APNs stick automatically:
1. Replace apns-conf.xml in Folder /etc/
2. Delete File telephony.db in Folder /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

Do you have to go through the whole unlocking process for those apps to work? It says its incompatible with my phone but I haven't tried unlocking yet so just want to be sure. Also is this just for GSM usage or would I be able to switch back and forth? I want to test it out before I decide to actually cancel with sprint and go with tmobile. My friend is letting me hold on to an extra tmobile sim so planning to try it with that.
Sprint blocks gsm in the US. You have to do steps 6 and 7 to have gsm unlocked. That is why it is failing for you. Once it's unlocked, you can still use sprint

I didn't ever see those steps in the op. They would probably help. But at any rate, yes. Each thread brought us one step closer to using this phone in the US. I kept trying over and over what step to do in what order to get it to work, and then wrote this guide. The way to listed in the op of permanently unlock is a great way to do it, I just thought dropping the folder in is easier.
Sprint blocks gsm everywhere, unless you get it unlocked through them. The permanent unlock let's us bypass that restriction and lets us use gsm, but still doesn't bypass sprints measures to block gsm in the US. The build prop changes do that. Everything else listed is just the tools I used to change everything.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
When switching Roms, you might need to make the build. Prop changed again, but you shouldn't ever have to do the unlock again. Also, op updated with possible new changes to get rid of the gsm icon and shows H for HSPA . Its working well so far.

Yes, when I try to create a folder in the top directory, it doesn't stay after reboot. I assume this has something to do with the way Android works, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You shouldn't be creating a new folder. You should be finding the already existing carrier folder, and overwriting its contents.

Right, but the issue is that Omnirom does not have a carrier folder.
Don't know what to tell you. You can try just the build. Prop mods starting on step 8. People have had success with asop based Roms. I have only used stock based Roms. Also, again this question would be more for the permanent unlock forum linked above.

I did some modifications to Bluetooth share in /system/app/Bluetooth.
But after that I pushed the app via adb...then a lot of error messages that said (Bluetooth Share Stopped).
Then I removed the modified Bluetooth app and pushed the stock one via adb and rebooted the device but the error message still appears although I make
1) wipe cache+dalvik
2) reflash the kernel
Why the error message still appears although I used the stock unmodified app.
Where is the problem?
Could someone help me with this problem?

Check your ROM zip for symlink. Different Bluetooth Sharing apk may require different different libbluetooth_jbi.so if linked to /system/app/Bluetooth/lib/arm folder from /system/lib/libbluetooth_jni.so For that reason, you have to watch for 0 bit lib files when pulling application from another ROM flashed on phone. (It may been a symlink if true).
Did you try verifying permissions and ownership and clearing data for Bluetooth Sharing and reboot?
Got a backup? If not, try dirty flashing ROM. You may just have to start over. Consider making a backup before making changes.

Nice tutorial share. Thanks for helping.
What may be missing is linking the lib so the application works. It's a matter of checking original file as installed on phone before replacing and duplicating with a root browser. Long press the lib file, scroll through options, select link to this folder (maybe last option) and then browsing and selecting same folder location as seen from original link. Hint: the lib linking and appearance in its location will look the same when linked properly.
In the case of this thread, unzipping the ROM and reading the install scripts for proper linking may have been done to link the files after installing. The Bluetooth application simply needed to know where to get it's vital resources to work with. There are exceptions where replacing apk and lib, setting permissions, clearing data and rebooting aren't enough. Developers may write install scripts into patch zip accordingly as needed to get this done without a ROM update. Or even alternately in an aroma installer. Or those that test ROMs to support a developer may need to do this manually in that support capacity. Then again, it could be user in another country or region needing to make changes for themselves in order to use a developed ROM.

Sorry. Gotta say I'm not experienced with resolving an issue like this. Not sure what you're doing when getting this logcat? References to zipped files? Should they be zipped?
What I would do in a situation like this and ensure I've done everything properly. Could be a simple mistake.
Otherwise, no idea if this helps you or not but a little searching found this blog:

I just want to say, thank you samep. I really appreciate your input on this subject. Your way of explaining this is well put and your points are valid. Bluetooth issues is something I have not had in any custom rom as of yet. However, I like to be prepared and knowledge is power.
Thought I'd give a little of my personal background followed by a few questions. I have no formal education with computers or Android. Although, I have not been a member on XDA for very long, I have been on this site for many years. Having lost my previous N4,
the only n910ps for sale were on the latest update 5DQ15. The fused 5 aboot prevents downgrading to previous firmwares. No chance of downgrading the boot or modem without SW REV CHECK Odin fail. Fortunately, 6.0 MM roms can still be flashed. With every single custom rom I flashed, my hotspot settings disappeared, except stock rooted deodexed roms. in which the hotspot setting remained. I remember reading a post somewhere on XDA stating that it was in CSC others.xml so I copied the entire CSC in stock rooted rom to external sd then flashed the custom rom and with the tutorial in the link above I replaced the custom roms CSC's with the stock rooted CSC's. Rebooted to TWRP wiped dalvik /chache and booted the phone. My Hotspot now appeared in the custom rom settings. However, I am not questioning your information. In fact, I remember reading an XDA thread about custom rom development that specifically backs up what you stated. More to it than simple copy and past, Its just I didnt know any other way. Although this worked for me with setting option , I know the phones Bluetooth connection is a bit more intricate than a simple CSC others.xml.
Which brings me to my question and I quote "Long press the lib file, scroll through options, select link to this folder (maybe last option)" What root browser do you recommend. This option is not provided as an option when I long press with my current root file manager. Yea, I know ES file manager has been kick of Google PS but Im still using it . LOL.. I wish to thank you ince again for your very informative posts.

I can appreciate your background and effort and even the experiences you share. Best wishes for your success.
I used to use script manager pro for a root browser. When I started working with developers in XDA, they pointed me to Root Explorer by speedsoftware (link below). I use it exclusively since and find it as capable as the other. I had gotten this one years earlier as a free promotional app on Amazon Prime through their Android app store. I was ecstatic when the developers of Root Explorer asked for my license key to transfer it to Google Play! Really? I asked, not expecting satisfaction, and they complied stating they've done it for others as well. It's their discretion and pleasure to do so. The app is still in Google Play; I get my updates there now.

But I haven't done much at all since leaving the Note 4 and Sprint. I forget so much when not using it. Sad but true and being honest. I miss those days but always wanted better data coverage and a faster phone. But even that's a work in progress.
