Well I ordered an htc one m8 on ebay today to replace my galaxy s4. I wanted to put GPE rom on it when it comes in, will I be able to install Htc's apps from play store then? Like the camera app so I can use the duo camera? Rom is in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441 Also will I be able to receive ota updates from google then? If I perform nandroid backup, does that backup my stock htc rom or not? Kind of noob at this, only device I really meddled with was nook hd+.

you will be using stock google camera, not htcs. but you will have htc photo edit app.
you will get updates from google if you convert to gpe.
if you backup when you get phone it will be stock, but if you convert it will wipe all data and you need a certain procedure to go back to sense. please read before converting
edit. that rom you linked is good if you dont wanna convert. no google updates though

if you are new to htc, please read the guides. i see too many "brick" issues that are preventable

You have a link to a rom that has google updates? What do you mean by converting? I was talking about these apps: http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-sense-6-apps-hit-google-play-ahead-new-htc-one-launch
Is there a way to make stock firmware look like stock besides installing different launcher? Like make software buttons look like stock, and notification and settings panel? Can xpose do this?

blinkfeed comes with sense, which is stock htc. google edition is stock google which i consider stock. xposed has alot of options tp change the look. i would just browse around the forum and read, checkout screenshots and see what you like
The only app I use on gpe is sense tv app. Everything else has a Google app equivalent

Would it be as simple as downloading the APKs and uploading them for you?
Im not sure, its worth a try. In particular the only apps i want to get are skype mobile and backup assistant. But anything is fine, i am curious to see if it will just install or if some modding is needed.
Wait, you flashed a N1 ROM to your DInc? I didn't think that was possible! Is it a Froyo Rom? How is the performance?
Yea! LOL. I'm running yetirom 2.1. You can find it here on the forums and I must say I love it. It is the stock rom of the nexus one and its 2.1. The performance is a bit better but I do not think it is optimized as the unrevolved rom was a bit faster. That's why I am trying to get the vzw apps. On the n1 the Verizon section of the market is a downloads button.
You'll need to change some stuff in the build.prop in order to get the VZW market working.
Thanks for the reply... Care to elaborate on the build.prop file? where is it located and how would i go about editing it?
... But I no longer have the Market, or any of my contacts... in fact, it seems that everything is gone.
Can someone tell me how this is properly done? :/
And by the way, if anyone has any decent Gingerbread ROMs, I'd love that
I had the same issues so I went back to virtuas 0.8.1 wich is sweet. I think I'm going to wait intill cynamod 7.0 comes out, speaking of that does anyone know what the progress is on that? How far away can we expect? I'm super pumped

You need to download the gapps zip aswell. The zip will contain the Google apps your looking for. I know for a fact cyanogen links them on the first post of all this treads along with making them available on rom manager. Just go to the first post click his link to the rom and you'll find it on his CyanogenMod forum. They could be right under the download link to the rom.
First post, download the Google adding and install like you could any other zip.

just check out the cm7 in the g2 development section and youll see how far they have gone, and when itll be released.
You didn't also flash the Google Apps. You need to do both. CM doesn't include the Google Apps per a copyright dispute with Google. The other ROMs include them just because CM was the first big ROM and Google asked them to stop.
Google Apps can be downloaded separately from the CM site, ROM Manager, or XDA.
I love this magazine and I'm paid subscriber, and I last night I upgraded my custom ROM to ICS 4.0.3 and I'm getting 'this app is not compatible with this device' error.
I have a SG2 running a custom rom.
Any pointers?
Thanks guys!
Where are you getting the error message? From market download?
Usually, most of the apps are running well on ICS. So, if you have an app already downloaded or backed up, try to install the app using backup.
If you don't have any backup, only the way would be going back to previous rom and download the app, backup and coming back to ICS. Try install the app from backup.
My one more question is, did you change the lcd density?

Thanks for your reply.
I tried installing this app by clicking directly on their website, which in turn sent me to the android market and at the top it says 'this app is not compatible with your device'
Unfortunlally I didn't back up any apps.
And no, I didn't change the lcs density, to be honest I dont even know how to do it, lol.
should I actually be doing that?
Is this a mobile echnomist lite?
I was able to download from my ICS FC15 Rom.
[update] never mind. I found the app also from their website and linked to google market.
It seems like only the way would be going back to GB (if you were able to download from there), and save the app. Then comes back to FC15 again to manually install the app.
Ohhh that's a pain in the a.......
maybe I could download the apk from a a website and try it that way?
I DO not recommend but if you can, that would be easiest way until ICS is formally supported.
For me, it worked like a charm in that way.
Now I'm removing the app from my phone.
I have the file, I think it will work for anyone that did not the backup
here it is
edit, I have to have more than 10 post to share a link, I post it on the economist forum ...
Come on Economist!
You would think for $100 a year they could provide a recent app. Think they got their heads shoved up their ipads.
I used airdroid to download the apk from my phone and then upload it back to the new tablet, worked like a charm. However, the app IS laggy with jellybean, definitely something needs fixing, scrolling is very jerky.

No I do not have,I'm using the Google play right now, since they updated the software it is working flawless...
Bump. I'm also looking for thel latest version posted above. Still not quite compatible with JB but supposedly works MUCH better and has fixed the scrolling issues, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Settings/App(Google Play)/Clear Data/clear Cache/Clear Defaults then when you go to Play Store and sign in again it should work. This is how I always clear the not compatible error.
Anyone have an APK for it?
*Or if the Jellybean one will work on ICS I'll try that as well*
I am tired of the touchwiz one and want a stock apk.. But don't want to go full stock because of the other features.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308
Explains how to replace TouchWiz apps with stock ICS. I will say I have not done this on the H9 update though. I do not think these work on Jellybean based ROMs either. I tried to install the pure ICS messenger app in a stock based jellybean rom and it did not work.

On a side note ... me messing around after I found a ICS APK... putting it into the app folder with a root explorer and then rebooted seemed to work..
I didn't do anything but that heh
Only thing now is I don't see a option to turn it black for the background ..

That is what the thread I linked explains how to do. It gives APK for most ICS apps and explains the problems that users have ran into with them and how to back up the stock TouchWiz apps if you want to restore them. I have no idea how you would go about changing the background color but there is probably information in the Themes and Apps section of the forums.

Hello!
I got a new D855, I flashed lastest PA and stock Google apps, I downloaded few other Google apps ( such as keyboard ) and converted them to system apps.
I tried using the Google keyboard but it always crashes.
The dialer had a problem and got frozen.
I just can't use the phone like that.
Any fix to this problems?

I think you misunderstood me. Uninstall the keyboard and reinstall it. Then DON'T convert it to system app and try. I mean why would you need the keyboard to be a system app?

It works fine when it is user app.
But I like to be close to stock AOSP.
Is it possible ? or should It stays like that.
Btw, I heard something about downgrading the G3 resulotion, is it really possible ?

Well then don't make it a system app. There is, as far as I can tell, no benefits for your camera being a system app.
I think you read about downgrading the resolution on this thread? Imho it makes no sense to do so, cause the screen still has to show all the pixels and the battery you save from the cpu/gpu not processing some of the pixels is minimal. You could try and disable the sharpening software from LG with this flashable script. On my phone the display quality improved significantly!

One last question (I hope xP), I'm running PA and today I flashed the update, the update brought back the few apps came with the rom that I deleted, Is it any way to avoid that?

You're very welcome You could edit the .zip file and delete the apps manually that you don't want to have. But you would need to do it every time before you flash an update and I think that's definitely not worth the effort
