[MOD] Google+ Locations Map Fix v1 [12/07/13]

Presenting to you my incredibly simple fix for the "Google+ Locations" Grey background maps issue that most of us have.
What is the problem?
Google+ Locations feature is replacing Latitude but for many of us this feature does not work. It fails to load the map leaving us with pictures of our contacts on a grey background - basically making the feature worthless to us all.
Whilst the fix itself is very simple (more info at bottom of this post), I know a lot of people here like things to be super easy, so I made a .zip for you all to flash.
Instructions
- Flash like any normal update.zip
- Reboot
In the unlikely event you find that the zip doesn't appear to work, or causes other Google+ issues then wipe app data (and cache) for Google+ and reboot.

Didn't work either way for me.
Tried your flash zip and after rebooting Google+ updated itself by Play probably reversing the changes.

That wouldn't reverse the changes, try to flash it a second time, one person said it worked the second time (everyone else was fine the first time)
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Nope still doesn't work.
Reverted back to a previous nandroid (InsertCoin) backup prior to any Google+ modding.
Flashed your zip, rebooted and Google+ was no longer installed.
Had to re-install Google+ from Play store.

Weird you are the only one who has had issues. You were not wiping cache when you flashed it were you?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta

No just a straight flash and reboot

Interesting. All the zip does it put the app and libs in the correct /system/ directory, there it no reason why it shouldnt work.
You could do it manually if you wanted.

You will only see people on your map if they are sharing their position with a circle you are in (on google+).

finally got this working...
After moving the files you need to manually clear Google+ data and then it works.

Alright,
I'm sure you arrived at this solution quite independently as It becomes kinda obvious once you have a proper look into it but I sorted this out weeks ago

I made available a new gapps packages for fresh roms here http://goo.im/devs/trevd/gapps/gapps-jb-20130615-signed.zip this includes Google+ as a system app.
The problem you'll get now is that the original one installed from the PlayStore has been updated hence why the apk is now at -2. So at the moment if folks have that one installed in /data/ they should be able to flash your system app version with out removing anything ( in theory ) This might only work until the next update.
Probably the easiest approach is to uninstall using play. Flash a update zip which installs it as a system app.
Just My Thoughts :good:
@sashykanth use "busybox mv" to move files

Thanks for this, I hadn't seen your G+ Post before today. The new Gapps package will certainly be useful for roms which require Gapps.

[Flashable Zip] [N7 Wifi only] [KRT16S] Translucent lockscreen bars for 4.4

Hi!
I noticed that the N7 2012 doesn't have the new translucent status & bottom bar on the lock screen.
Nobody seems to have created a zip for the N7, though the N4 has had some love.
I have it working for me, so I thought I'd share.
Please don't use this zip on the N7 3G.
KRT16S Version (Latest)
Code:
Flash this from recovery for your translucent bars:
[url]https://db.tt/DtUygIHb[/url]
Flash this to restore to original in case of bootloops:
[url]https://db.tt/TxfTykJj[/url]
KRT16O Version (old)
Code:
Flash this from recovery for your translucent bars:
[url]https://db.tt/lon9dKd3[/url]
Flash this to restore to original in case of bootloops:
[url]https://db.tt/vClhQlsx[/url]
If Dropbox kills the links for some reason, please drop me a pm.
You shouldn't need to clear cache, but try it if you get a bootloop.
Credits
Hardly any of this is my work, I merely unpacked, edited and packed again.
Thank you to Floydfire for creating this for the N4, and heavily inspiring even my thread title: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527525

The "framework" folder should be inside a "system" folder, while it's not. I'll try editing the zip and see if it works, but flashing it like this might be dangerous..
EDIT:I just looked at the updater-script, now I understand.. BTW, does it need a deodexed ROM?

I'd just recently used the N7 4.4 factory image and tested with that, so just stock is fine.

I had a frustrating half hour sorting this, during which I could see that the transparency had worked, but it started to bootloop within a minute of hitting the lock screen.
If you want to have another go, try Android Multitool (linked in OP), but don't sign it in that, or with zipsigner. Copy the meta-inf and manifest back from the original apk, instead of signing.
Doing it manually, you may need to place the apk in /system/, then set permissions (0644), then move to /system/framework/

Yup, that or the current Nova Launcher Beta (my personal preference).
Glad it is working for everyone and you are all welcome!

I wanted transparent navi and notification bars so bad but the stock and GEL wont do it (people say it does but it wont) so i installed nova launcher beta and it worked without any mod now i just flashed this mod. nova still working stock still black bars and dont have GEL to check it but i think it will work

Thank you.

Dark Dialer?

Anyone have the dark dialer by chance?
I see that it's in the HDC Note 3 (knockoff version).
That is a 720P device so the DPI would probably need to be run at 320 on our 1080P device though. Or at least use app settings to fix that.
Running Darthstalker V5 here, would love to have the dark dialer!

There's are a few choices in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480163
Also if you just wanted a dark dialer you can use compatible Xthemes afterwards

Which Xthemes do this? Or change contacts. I've not had any luck with that
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Ok found a solution!
This requires root and the ability to rename/remove system APKs.
I extracted four files for the dialer and contacts out of an international based Rom. (Vision-X)
The files are:
SecContacts.apk
SecContactsProvider.apk
SecPhone.apk
SecTelephonyProvider.apk
Use the files found in the rom zip /system/app/
On the local device (I use Root Explorer) you must browse to the respective system folder and open it R/W.
You may delete the originals (have the same name), I rename them adding .light to them just in case.
Copy them over and reboot the phone.
Your shortcuts may disappear for phone and contacts from your dock, I use Nova and was able to drag the ones from the desktop down to the dock.
Everything works, dark dialer and contacts just like the stock Note II!

Just replaced the 4 files like u stated and noe i cannot open the dialer...freezes for a few seconds and then says "unfortunately, contacts has stopped working"...
Funny i can open and view my contacts...dark theme worked...but phone dialer fc's.
Any suggestions? I'm on darthstalker5 wonderchild kernel. Thanks!

That's odd, that's the same ROM I'm using. Where did the files come from? I pulled them right from the zip on Vision-X.
I did everything right on the phone using Root Explorer.
You must do a full reboot after the copy as well. Mine said it could not find the program when I didn't reboot. After rebooting it worked perfectly.

thanks
I did the same exact thing you did, including reboot and clearing cache/dalvic

That's strange you get FC on contacts. Wonder what it could be.
I'm using Touchdown for Exchange that has its own contacts however I still have to copy the exchange contacts to the phone.
The only thing I recall is when I first did this and opened the dialer for the first time it did seem like it was borked where the dialer took about three seconds to show up. Now it works just as the original but has the dark dialer which I prefer. I never liked the light dialer that Samsung started with on the S4. Darthstalker is my fav ROM since I first got the phone in early October as well.
I may get brave when 6.0 comes out and put the updated files in the zip and flash it to see what happens but replacing them is pretty easy with Root explorer. Maybe try downloading the zip again? Usually a corrupt one fails on opening but you never know.

Thanks...ill try that
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Just an update. After downloading DarthStalker 6.0 last evening, I was able to successfully exchange the files in the zip for contacts, dialer and also international camera (to fix animation transition bug = 1 toggle) and flashed the zip and it works!

What zip are you extracting the files from?
Mine came from this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559321
I had the original 12/7 release. There is a newer 12/18 version. I would recommend using the 12/7 version. That works here. With DarthStalker 5 I was able to get the dark contacts and dialer working just by renaming the originals and replacing them with the same files from the zip.
When DS6 was released yesterday, I removed those APKs from the (DS6) zip and replaced them with the ones from Vision-X. Works great. Ditto for camera APK. The only reason to do that is to stop the annoying behavior of transition animation reverting back to 1 whenever the camera is used.

In on stock odexed rooted rom how would I go about getting the dark dialer

OmniSwitch APK

Just pulled this out of the latest OmniRom.
Quite a nice new approach to an app switcher in sort of a PIE way of doing things.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m80nJjZFK0o
Needs to be installed from: system/priv-app (take note it is the priv-app folder!) with permissions corrected to: rw-r--r--
Installed and running on Cyanogenmod nightly but should work on any 4.4.X rom.
**Updated APK to latest from 30-04-2014 Nightly**

Awesome! Works great on my nexus 7 trying it on my nexus 5 now. Wonder why they use low quality icons?

Pretty sure there was a question about this on the Omni forum, hopefully they will improve it as it progresses.

Mine crashes trying to close all apps button. Installed in the required folder as mentioned in the install notes but no dice
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I downloaded n installed but it seems to be pulled from an older version. It did not give you the option to disable the drag handle option. I remembered I have the 2/20 nightly version backed up (titanium backup). I restored the app only. It now gives me the option to disable the drag handle. Only issue I have so far, is that when you long press the home button, it still brings up the normal app switcher, not omniswitch. Any ideas?

I tried to push it into system /priv-app but Es file explorer tells me 'permission denied'. I cannot change permission of the apk before pushing, file explorer don't give me this option. What I'm doing wrong?

Yes, now it works, at least pushing it into the right folder and set the permissions. But kill app still gives me fc of the app..
I'm on carbon rom now, so I have everything in the nav bar and don't need omni switch anymore.

Same here. Get fc on killing apps. Eventhough I did it exactly as described in the beginning. Also using carbon rom.

I have updated the APK to the latest version from the 30-04-2014 nightly OmniRom.
Try this one and see if there is still a FC.
If there is I would have to assume that Carbon Rom has had some customisation done that interferes with OmniSwitch and I will add a note to OP.

Tried the new version. For some reason setting the right permissions doesn't work. I set them with root explorer, then reboot. When the app is installed, I turn it on, and it gives me a message that the app can't get the right permissions. Can't understand what I am doing wrong, but it seems me that i do everything right as before.

I am running GPE 5.1 in my XT1032 and i wanna use this two apps (Messages from Stock Firmware and Email from Droid Devices). I wanna ask if someone knows how to modify this apps to take the compatibility with my device. Regards and greetings.

Thanks for reply. That was the first that i do but doesnt work. In message apps i take crashes all the time and in Moto Email the app saids "Your device cannot run this app".
I know that this is possible but its really a big challenge, nobody knows how to do it.

I have a question. I will try to do it again because i see that you do it well. You paste this in the system/apps inside a folder?

[moto mail fixed] [waiting for sms apk]
Guys i am traveling right now, i try to modify the messaging apk on my device but i fail. I upload right now two new apks. One is the message apk from Kit Kat, i take it from Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.slvn.mms) and its modify version but work perfectly and its 100% the same. The second apk is the new version of the app with the new design but i cant install it like i wish. So i need to ask if someone can modify the first app with the design of the second. Some people told me that APK Manager is a good option but for this i need my pc. Anyways thanks a lot if someone can take some time for fix my problem. Regards community!!

so if the problem is only the icon there is another way:
-download the new icon
-install custom launcher as nova
-long press to the icon that you want change
-press the icon image
-choose from gallery app
- select the new icon
there are other app that can change the icon.. as:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=it

Yes, i am do it this for Now. But the icon is not the most important. I mean, All The app have a new design. I will try to fix it when I back home.

Hey, i also tried to install the mms.apk in a ROM (placing the folder and apk in system), and faced the FCs.. But erasing dalvik cache solved it for me.. Hope it helps

Here you go.
Edit:if you want to try, the zip attached is the newer apk and will install it properly. Just flash it in recovery. If it doesn't work, it may not be compatible with your ROM.

Dude thanks for the App! I think that you modify the icon of the old version right?
Its possible modify the new version? I mean the version that I upload and doesnt work. Because I was testing that the Old Version is not working very well right Now. Thanks for help dude.

Sorry, I thought I attached this zip to the last post. Here is the newer apk in a flashable zip. It should install properly. If it doesn't work, it may not be compatible with your ROM.

The zip install it properly, the App appear in de App drawer but I take Fc when I try to open it. Really thanks for try my friend. The problem its that GPE have differents partitions than the stock rom and i really dont know how to fix it. Do you have idea if I have the same problem with CM 12.1 Messaging App? Because I take Fc when I install it like a normal apk too. I Just wanna use one of this Message Apps, Stock or CM 12.1, i really dont like Google Messenger, Textra, etc. Its really big problem because I dont have idea how to make the compatibility. Anyway, thanks a lot for try.
