[Q] Updating Custom-ROM built-in Nova Launcher? [SOLVED] - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I am currently using Dirty Unicorns ROM on my Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 WiFi (SM-T530) which comes with a modded version of Nova Launcher ...
I would like to update/replace it with up-to-date official Version ... since it's a built-in system-app I can't just use Nova's in-app update feature, nor can I just install the Play Store version on top ...
Maybe someone can point me to a flashable zip-file, which should solve my problems updating or - if someone knows a definite solution - fill me in with details on how to proceed.
Thanx in advance, friends
Tattva

Update
I managed to get my hands on those flashable NovaUninstall.zip & NovaUpdate.zip files which did actually uninstall the pre-installed modded Nova Launcher and installed an official version using CWRP. The installed version was totally out-dated but I could easily use it's in-app update feature.
Unfortunately the now installed latest version is refusing to work ... killed immediately upon being started ... so what now? The out-dated version contained in NovaUpdate.zip at least worked - so I guess I'm gonna backtrack older versions until one - hopefully not too old one - will work. We'll see ...
Just in case someone is experiencing similar problems I'll update this thread once I found out something new - plus: I'll attach both flashable zip-files to this post.
Live long and prosper
Tattva

Final Update (u.f.n.)
So ... here we go:
Tesla offers Nova Launcher Classic (v3.3) for downloading which seems to be working fine.
Quick Guide for updating Dirty Unicorns integrated Nova Launcher (to at least v3.3):
1. Download attached DU_NovaClassic-Update.zip
2. a) Boot to Recovery Mode (tested with CWRP)
b) flash DU_NovaClassic-Update.zip (automatically removes existing versions)
c) Clear Cache & Dalvik
3. Reboot the system
That's it … everything should be fine now and your DU running Nova Launcher Classic v3.3.
If you're happening to experience any problems message me and I'll try to figure out a solution.
Hasta la bye-bye!
Tattva
PS/Update: I just noticed that Nova Launcher updated itself to the latest version and is running smooth and flawless ... nice!

[7.March.2012][ROM][P73xx] ♫♫ Overcome 8.9 Series v2.3.1 ♫♫

DISCLAIMER: You know the drill, I am not responsible if loading this rom makes your Tab melt, explode, disintegrate, or cause harm to anyone near it. (I am fairly certain none of that will happen though )​
Change log in second post.
Welcome to The Overcome Experience - 8.9 Edition . For those of you that don’t know me, let me introduce myself. I am AlterBridge86, the creator of The Overcome Experience. I started developing a ROM on the OG Galaxy Tab (P1000) about 10 months ago and have moved on to having my own brand of ROM’s, Kernels, and Recoverys. The Galaxy Tab 8.9 (P7310) is now the third device family to get a “Overcome Series” ROM, however it will most definitely not be the last.
My mission is simple. I aim to vastly improve the stock user experience on Samsung devices. I think that Samsung makes fantastic hardware, however fails to bring the same level of software quality to their devices. This is where I step in. I take the base rom, as provided by Samsung, and perform further optimization and modification to it. My mods aim not to completely customize the user interface, but rather add some very useful key functionality while retaining the “stock android” look.
NOTE: This will NOT work on the LTE variants of the 8.9!!!​

Extended Power Menu (Reboot, Recovery, Download)
Install Instructions
Download CWM from here if you don't have it already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312218
Download the appropriate install zip from below and put it in your Tabs internal storage
Reboot into CWM recovery (Turn Tab off, then press power button and volume down until you see the choice to boot download mode or recovery. Press volume down to highlight recovery, then volume up to select it.)
Navigate to install from zip, choose the install zip and install away! (Wiping data prior to install is recommended)
However, if you wish to attempt a non-wipe install (ONLY for users already on Overcome), follow these instructions: Prior to rebooting into recovery for install, go into Manage Apps and clear data on launcher. Immediately reboot into recovery using the power menu - DO NOT go back ot the home screen first. Install zip without data wipe. After install completes, wipe cache. Reboot.
Wiping data is highly recommended, especially if coming from a stock rom or another rom. You can do this prior to the install from the main screen of CWM recovery.

Hello All! The Overcome Experience has come to the Galaxy Tab 8.9 I am glad to be here and providing the best experience possible to all Galaxy Tab 8.9'ers out there
I have just a few points to cover in this post, and then we're off to the races. I'm sure some of you may be familiar with my works and know that I have a website, www.teamovercome.net, which houses an excellent install guide, tweaks, faqs, downloads, and more for all the devices I support. Unfortunately, we are having an issue with our host so I will not be building a website for this device until we are set up on a new hosting service. However, I did not want that alone to hold up the release of this ROM, so here we are
During the course of my development, I have made two very important discoveries. Firstly, as you most likely noticed in the first post, we are running a P7510 rom. Yes, P7510 roms are 99% compatible with the P7310 - only minor tweaking is required to make it work perfectly. For this reason, I have based this rom off of the latest rom available for the P7510 which is very smooth and performs exceptionally well.
My second discovery comes with some good and bad news. I'm sure you all have noticed that there is horrendous lag when swiping between the homescreens in landscape mode. Initially, I blamed this on the rom. I tried several different P7310 roms, including the P7510 rom which this release is based on, and while some were better than others, it continued to exhibit more lag than the P7510. Naturally, I found this extremely odd because these devices are identical with the exception of the screens. Another bit of background info before moving on in this story, Honeycomb has been plagued with an issue up until the 3.2 release which caused the device, when used in portrait mode, have very stuttery, laggy performance. The 3.2 release significantly improved that issue so much that it is nearly identical to the performance of landscape mode.
Moving on, I learned that the tab actually has a default orientation of portrait (notice that CWM is in portrait mode on the 8.9, whereas on 10.1 it is in landscape). As a result of this, there is a modifier in the build.prop that rotates the screen appropriately. However, the side effect of this, is that the performance issues seen on typical Honeycomb tablets in portrait mode now manifest in landscape mode. If you flip the tab into portrait, you will see the butter smooth performance one would expect in landscape. (I urge you to try this out once you flash the rom - it gives you a taste of what is to come in the future!) So the bad news of this is that there is really nothing I can do to fix this at this time. This rom has SIGNIFICANTLY improved landscape performance, but its still not perfect. The good news however is that once we get 3.2, and definitely ICS, we will no longer have to worry about these sorts of performance issues.
All that said, I hope you all enjoy the release and as always, the best is yet to come!
Great! Can't wait to flash!

You would lose 3G capability...I will have a P7300 rom coming in the near future...its just not ready yet
well i dont use my 3g capability , so I will download it right now but still count me for testing/using the correcto 7300 version =D, also is it necessary to wipe?
edit: recovery is good to go for the 7300?
thanks alterbridge
Wipe is a recommended idea - you can try without it and see how it goes, but if you are seeing all sorts of FC and stuff, then you should wipe.
Recovery works on both 7310/7300, if thats what you mean...
Looking forward to your P7300 ROM, any ETA date?hehe
Would like to see this work on 3g as well. But I can't stop salivating on this...
I'm strapping myself now, not to do anything with my tablet. I relied too much on 3g internet...
Much obliged alter. Putting it through the paces now, so far so good.

Hello guys just confirming it working on the 7300 no 3G data Ive never used it before so cant confirm anything,
took around 5 minutes for first boot, wouldnt work without wipe
Looking forward to the 3G version- can't have that not working so please release it soon. Pretty please
waiting ROM for support my TAB8.9 7300B
Sweet! Will flash once I get home from work tomorrow!
Hey, I just won a 8.9 and am considering this ROM due to the HW acceleration. Is it possible to revert the soft buttons to the TouchWiz versions? While I'm fine with the "Tron" look of stock Honeycomb, it doesn't match Touchwiz well.

Great! So who would u describe the performance? Compared to stock. Does the UI still lag? What are your first impressions
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
can this kernel be overclocked?
is there any posibilities to have a GSM voice call on this ROM in the future?
Very much looking forward to a P7300 3G build of this!
Also, +1 on the question of overclocking/undervolting; Tegra 2 is cool and all, but it's no Exynos.
My GS2 has spoiled me when it comes to performance. <_<;;

Multi-Window vs. camera2.api

Hi.
I urgently want to use 2 specific app-windows side by side (musician-apps . live_bpm and drummers_metronome). Sadly both apps are not capable of this. I have the stock android v. 6.01.
Therefore I tested CM13 et voila - split-screen for the above two apps works flawlessly! So whats the problem?- One other feature that I
strongly want/need... in the stock rom (live-HDR in Camera and a few other camera-features) is now NOT working in CM13 because of missing camera2-api (at least this is the error-message in camera-app)
I found a possible solution myself - download the apk's, decompile and edit the manifest.xml. This should work, but I found no way to download the apks - both are legally purchased by me. The second way, to contact the developers, was wasted. _Both didn't reply.
Any idea how to achieve both features? Perhaps any different rom?
Solved!
I still don't know an exact answer to my question, but have found a solution: Newest Resurrection Remix Rom has multi-window-mode for every app (not only those who are made for this option as in stock-marshmellow...) AND realtime-hdr. I'm happy.

Open Gapps Config For Moto G4

Hi guys.
I'm using LineageOS' latest build as of today 06/05/17 with Open Gapps.
I'm trying to find a configuration of installed apps that matches as best as possible that of the stock G4 (Nougat). I've no idea about the background services or which stock apps to remove (I'm using the aroma installer version of Gapps as none of the others fit what I want closely enough). Does anybody have any app choice recommendations for me?
Thanks.

[Discussion] Crashing/Not working Google apps

Some days ago the meizu m2 of my brother started having problems with the google apps not working any more (completely white screen in Play store and nothing working well). For this reason I decided to unlock its bootloader and install Lineage OS but after flashing Open Gapps I noticed that the google apps keep crashing all the time.
Looking around these forums I noticed that there are a lot of people with the same problem and for this reason I wanted to open this thread to collect all the discussions on the problem and to track any possible news about the problem itself and possible solutions if found.
I think that the cause of the problem may be Google discontinuing support to Gapps on phones not certified (I read some news on this topic some months ago).
I would like to know if someone has already found a solution for the problem to make the Phone usable again with the original Flyme OS or also a custom rom.
Thanks in advance.
[UPDATE] As a first solution for now I installed an old version of the gapps (You can find all the open gapps by date on the tags of the open gapps repository on github i.e: https://github.com/opengapps/arm64/tags?after=20180622) like suggested by someone on other threads. It seems to work for now because just after installation I deactivated the play store from the system settings so that google play services cannot be updated. I use yalp store (available on f-droid) to install apps from the play store
hello , i have a same problem,
this problem is with OpenGAPPS and MindTheGapps with 4 testing roms (Lineage, Viper, CrDroidAndroid, Resurrection_Remix),
in original Flyme OS is same problem.
I've tried Lineage 14, Resurrection Remix, Viper OS, Lineage 12, MIUI and everywhere Google Play Services crashes. As "whole m2 development is dead now" there is no hope that this will be solved.
At the end I installed AOSP 8.1 and it all working fine.:fingers-crossed:
Let me check it and find a solution for this. I will remind you guys what we can do to use it without issues if i found some. M2 is a secondary phone for me now. So let me try.
Updated first post with a possible solution
Uninstall the update (google & google play services), and turn off "auto update" on play store. Hopefully it can help.

Could you specify exactly which open gapps version you used (5.0-9.0?, nano/pico?)
And did you install open gapps on the Lineage OS you already had flashed on or onto stock ROM?

I installed OpenGapps Micro (of the 1st of August 2018) on Lineage OS
Solution:
1. Install 4.5.4I firmware
2. Root your device
3. Unlock bootloader
4. Install twrp 3.2.1
5. Flash AOSP 8.1 Rom
6. Flash arm64 8.1 micro gapps
Working all fine. Good luck.

Hey, I have a few questions regarding this.
Does FlymeOS 6.2.0.0G (or 6.3.0.0A for that matter) not work at all with open gapps?
Is there a point to install that instead of AOSP 8.1?
I still use FlymeOS stock 4.5.4l and I don't know why it would be more beneficial to use AOSP instead of a recent version of stock FlymeOS.
Does AOSP 8.1 have a lot of bugs?
I checked its forum page, it seems quite a lot of things are broken.
The ones that mostly concern me are the battery problems (though I have battery issues with the stock 4.5.4l FW currently as well), bad headphone sound quality, no navbar and sensor issues. Can you confirm that those are still present or has been fixed since?
hi
any solution yet i try to install google play service .apk and i get message tha telling me that i need to update it pls help me how to resolve google problem
Ok here is the only solution for google play services in flyme.
from security app go to data then network management and uncheck play service from wlan and cellular.....play service cant update now.....to run play store and play games and other google apps, follow the same process and check it.....then open your desired app very quickly and uncheck the play service again through recent screen.....dont leave it checked more than a minute or it will update automatically.....

hello, I noticed several problems on the update of the rom:
-the phone application to call plant systematically, it is impossible to use
-The rom is less well optimized than the first version of the rom, slower
-the phone heats faster
Games like fortnite or pokemon go do not work
I am holding off on my install based on this, do you have the original ROM file, can you please share that for me if it doesn't have ant issues?

A big thanks to the OP. This ROM works great on my good old N930F which SAMSUNG never got back. :laugh: Ended up keeping it for free!
After installing Magisk, reinstalling aroma GAPPS and some of the goodies from the Magisk module list (especially the Equinox camera mod) plus the Microsoft Launcher on top, everything works great for me. This puts another year of extended use in my second phone. :good::good::good:
