Paranoid Installer Like CyanogenMod

Yesterday i saw CyanogenMod Installer app for android...
It is quite helpful for those who are flashing roms first time on their device after rooting...
This app also tells them whether a Cyanogen rom is available for their device or not...
I m currently working on paranoid if this feature is added to PA source itself then it will cause pain for other roms...
This will be a arsenal for paranoidsss...
Have a look at CM installer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.cyanogenmod.oneclick
I m not promoting CM but giving u all idea atleast...

It won't cause pain for other roms. People are not exactly lined up waiting for an installer for PA before they can flash it. Not to mention CM devs are quite open to using roms other than CM after using their installer. Its about more than just flashing your favorite rom. its about having a choice other than what your carrier forces you into. And since devs often borrow features from other ROMs, this would hardly be pain for other roms. As tools make developement easier, i think we will see more roms or at least modified roms that have peoples own touch added to them.

Installer will be great for newbies...

if a rom offers an installer app then it will attract new users who havent flashed custom roms yet...this what i meant..

Custom ROM Installer
I think that an Automatic Installer for the first flashers would be indeed "comforting" Because I've started to flash custom roms recently and my first one was a pain, not because of the steps....The steps for installing the recovery tool and all are pretty easy and all. But we have the feeling we are going to brick the device at the first flash! hehe Maybe an automatic installer that detects your device model would be kinda safe for unexperienced users...
But nowadays I find it nice to manually flash roms, keep backups, etc...
Oh well...not a bad idea at all in my opinion ;}

That CM Installer is stupid. I used and thought when it said, it will delete your things. I processed that as the normal factory reset in TWRP for a clean flash. Apparently it was a full freaking wipe. Lost everything. I think that process they used it unnessesary.

I don't understand why they needed to wipe the SD card, but you should have read the instructions and backed up your data before installing...

Just as an FYI, the still-in-progress Omni installer is going to be designed such that it can be used by any project. (And cooperation with other projects for inputs is welcome!)
I'm not working on it myself, it's xplodwild's baby - but as an example, there's serious consideration of hooking it into XDA's devdb, although I think it'll require some dependencies metadata to be added to devdb for it to work. (e.g. automagically handle gapps).

Now CyanogenMod team made their Installer Open to all https://github.com/cyngn/OneClickAndroid
this will surely give ideas to other rom developers how to do it in a better way... thnxxx to CyanogenMod

FYI, don't go thanking CM just yet....that source they shared is just for the app which all it does is enable USB debugging hahaha
Is not the source for the installer which I believe is a msi or exe

[MOD]Hey Snapdragon! Mod - 4/14/15

Disclaimer
I'm not responsible for anything that may happen to your device. I've tested this mod to the best of my abilities, but I can't guarantee anything. Make a complete backup before applying any of these changes. If you brick your device, boot loop, lose data, or etc...again, I'm not responsible.
CM12 - Working
- CM12S YNG1TAS0YL with stock kernel
- CM12 nightly with stock kernel
CM11 - Working
- CM11S XNPH30O, XNPH33R, XNPH38R, XNPH44S, and XNPH05Q with stock kernel
- CM11, PAC-man, crDroid with most recent kernels
- franco r35 kernel
CM12.1 - Not Working
- CM12.1 nightly (bootloop)
CM11 - Not Working
- LiquidSmooth ROM (mediaserver seg faults immediately)
- OmniROM
Also, I found a commit in the CM source that adds Voice Wakeup options to the Settings app. If the ROM doesn't have this code compiled into their Settings, the mod will probably not work. You'll still be able to go through the training process, however, I don't believe Google Now will launch because the intent action is never being set.
Instructions
1.) Backup any important data on your phone (files, pictures, etc.)
2.) Boot into recovery. I use and have only tested with TWRP
3.) Make a nandroid backup
4.) Flash the mod
5.) Reboot
Recovery
If you encounter any issues (e.g. bootloop) or just want to remove the mod, go into recovery and restore just the System partition from the backup you made earlier (this will preserve your Data partition).
After Installation
After installing, you'll get a notification to enable Voice Wakeup and to train your voice. You can do this now or skip it. It can always be setup later by going to:
CM11: Settings --> Voice Wakeup --> Retrain your voice
CM12: Settings --> Language & Input --> Voice Wakeup --> Retrain your voice
Also...
1.) Go into the Google Now settings and disable "OK Google" detection settings.
2.) Disable your lockscreen if on CM11S or CM12S...other CM11/CM12 based ROMs should work fine since the apk is signed correctly. Some users have reported being able to use a 3rd party lockscreen (e.g AcDisplay) as a work around for CM11S.
If something is not working for you, I need the following or I can't help...
- The ROM you're using (date/version too)
- The kernel you're using (date/version too)
- A description of the problem
- A logcat of the problem in action
Changelog
Code:
[I]4-14-2015[/I]
- New test version for CM12 based ROMs. I believe this should work with most kernels.
[I]Version 2.0[/I]
- CM11 based ROMs only
- Updated mixer_paths.xml with more recent version from CM11
- Deodexed, signed, and zip aligned VoiceWakeup.apk. The app can now bypass the lockscreen on CM11 based ROMs
Disabling the lockscreen is still necessary for CM11S ROMs because those keys aren't public
- Added a "loud" version. It increases the microphone volume levels to make it more sensitive
[I]Version 1.0[/I]
- Initial Release

Woow. It seems working flawlessly

me wanty. Hopefully you can post a how to in the near future

I bought the OnePlus One in August because I was interested in the always on listening feature that they showed off back in the Spring. So when I actually received the phone, I was pretty disappointed to learn that they took the feature out before shipping. Over the past couple weeks, I've been working on a way to get this feature back in the phone and I think I finally got it working pretty well. I've only tested it on the 25R and 33R builds, but it should work on most ROMs for this phone. The mod uses the always on low power core, so there's no significant drop in battery life. I know Qualcomm has some licenses for this IP, so I'm still trying to figure out if I can legally post the mod here. But in the meantime, here's a demo of it working...

looks cool, do keep us updated if you are able to share this "legally" or can you pm me the "not so legal" way? LOL

I didn't know I wanted this until now

That looks awesome

I've been trying to contact someone from the Cyanogen team to get some more information about posting this. If anyone has any contact info, either send me a PM or send them over to this thread.
To give a little more information about this mod, its essentially a port of the VoiceWakeup.apk I found here. If you use apktool to disassemble this file, it's easy to tell it came directly from Qualcomm. However, if the Cyanogen team intended to release this apk with the phone initially, then I'm assuming they already have some agreement in place with Qualcomm. So hopefully that also means it'll be ok for me to post this mod in the near future.

You would still be able to download the OTA updates, but you wouldn't be able to apply them since there would be changes to your file system. If you make a nandroid backup in recovery, then anything is easily reversible.

Thanks. Hope you can release this soon.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Looks great, wonder if the cm team is working to make it work by choosing you own wake up command. Had it on my find 7a and saying snapdragon was strange

If it's already freely available then it's unlikely to cause any more issues, depends on what did you do to"port" it I guess.
All the cm11s apps have been made available, so if it came from an existing rom I can't really see much of an issue. But I'm not a lawyer
Alternative is to post a walkthrough of your changes to the original.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Awesome work, hopefully you're and to post it up for us eventually.

Hi Everyone...I did a little thread cleaning. Please, lets not harass the OP about when this will be released. Like everything else on xda, it will be released when the developer is ready. Just as a reminder to everyone,
yes this is a hackers site, but certain things are not allowed. If the OP wants to make sure that he isn't violating CMs or Qualcomm's Intellectual Property then we should let him do this to his own satisfaction. Nobody
wants to see a modification removed because CM or Qualcomm complained.
Thanks!

This looks really good! Would love to have this feature, keep it up man

If you're worried about posting the modded APK and the IP issues, can you at least let us know what you modded so we can do it on our own?

had a quick play with it earlier,
Cm 11 nightly contains the background libs (except liblisten.so) but there's some java calls missing. Curious that cm have left most of the libs in place.

Thanks for this ROM. It works like a charm for an early build and I'm expecting the next updates will be better. Good job to OP and everyone that worked together. Just to report that NFC isn't working but I hardly see it as a problem since I never use it anyway.
EDIT - Enabled ROOT from the Developers Option but how do I get SuperSU works here? Or do I even need one? Thanks

@ mauk - I've had a run in with @O-T before - It seems to be a serial offender when it comes to flaming people - There are only so many times that you can use the excuse of something not being your native language. @ O-T The sensible way would be to ask someone who has english as a first language to read you posts first.... that way any unpleasantness can be avoided - If you want to PM me your posts I'll check them over. As for being called dude - as far as I'm aware it can be non gender specific term - so no offence caused there!

Thanks for the sharing! But I'm gonna wait for the OP to fix this issue in the future build.

Our Device doesn't work with Android keystore?

I tried running the "bitwarden" app without success on omnirom, AICP and paranoid. I was able to get it to work once on AICP but then never able to recreate the scenario or know what was different. When I provided logcats to the developers they came back asking why our device doesn't work with the android keystore. Specifically:
01-23 23:01:06.816 11841 11841 E AndroidRuntime: android.runtime.JavaProxyThrowable: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The configuration is invalid. Creating the instance for type ISecureStorageService failed. Key not yet valid ---> SimpleInjector.ActivationException: Key not yet valid ---> Java.Security.InvalidKeyException: Key not yet valid
Namely
Java.Security.InvalidKeyException: Key not yet valid
This is the error. For some reason that device doesn't work with the Android Keystore. Any idea why?

I was going to say something about Chinese phones and not having good encryption due to the Chinese government's need to snoop on literally everything, but I don't think that's the case. Have you tried it on other ROMs, namely, stock/official LeEco ROMs? Or eUI? If bitwarden still doesn't work, you ought to contact a veteran dev like codeworkx.

In the bug report I opened at bitwarden a second user has reported the same issue with AICP 13.1. I personally tried AICP 12.1, Paranoid Android 7.3.1 and Omnirom 7.x. Oddly I did manage to get it working on AICP 12.1 one time but then was unable to identify what was different or recreate the situation. I did leave a PM for codeworkx identifying the issue since it appears to be a problem on both nougat and oreo. If it's an issue with any app that tries to use encryption in ANY form it could be a big problem. I don't see how that could be the case though since they have android pay working on some roms and it certainly uses encryption in it's processes (or at least I'd think it would).

I have no idea if it works or not, i never used that app before, but i've created an account, adding passwords, cards, notes works fine, no crashes. Maybe you should clearify what exactly makes an app crash. Is it when you open the app? Or is it when you add something?

I'll give it a try. For me and others the bitwarden app crashes immediately when you try to open it...you never get to actually use it for anything.
I'm currently on the "official" paranoid android 7.3.1 with it crashing like that so will try yours. Hopefully just a drop in replacement.

Tried the unofficial version of paranoid + opengapps stock...nothing else.......connected to my google account...installed bitwarden via play store...it crashes.
Until I can find a 2nd person that says it works for them I have to consider you the lucky one

@voron00
After alot of testing it looks like a clean install of AICP 12.1 is the ONLY rom I personally could use that will let bitwarden work. Titanium Backup can be used to restore user apps and the data for those apps but that's it. Thanks for the information that it was possible to get it to work although I'm still unsure how you got it working on Paranoid Android unless perhaps you restored data from AICP 12.1 that had whatever bitwarden is looking for. Here's hoping android pay works on AICP 12.1. The low volume in calls on AICP is very bad or I'm going deaf..will work on that next.

I got works on AOKP 7.2.1 everything works on this great ROM.

How is in call volume and speakerphone? So far the only ones that I found with good in call sound were pixel experience and omnirom.

Gapps Have To Be Included In Custom Roms?

I've been looking at buying the phone since there's a sale going on Amazon for $249USD, but after reading a bit through the forum, seems like custom roms will have gapps preinstalled?
This would be a real deal breaker for me, as I'd like to go microG, Xposed FakeGapps, FakeStore, Fdroid route, Google Free, as much as possible...
But if gapps have to be presinstalled, anyone used Terminal Debloater and uninstalled gapps with it?
Hmm

I dunno about using the rom without gapps, but CarbonRom doesn't come with gapps.
I use it with gapps and its pretty smooth, so I'm assuming it should be the same without it.
CarbonRom also has signature spoofing included.

I was reading something on XDA over this, not sure now, sounded like because of some issues custom roms had to come with Gapps preinstalled for Essential.
But now you mentioning Carbon without, well, guess that throws that out the window, I hope... LOL
Every custom rom I've installed didn't have any Gapps installed, expect for just a few of the the basics, phone, messenger, calendar...
I never install Gapps, I use microG, Xposed, F-Droid here on my phones, I like to be as Google Free as possible.
Thanks

A lot of the essential (mata) roms have gapps included because it's actually a pain to install it post-install because of the 2 partitions.
So many users get confused and end up flooding the Rom threads with the same questions on how to install gapps.

I thought if they want the Gapps, then people would just pick and choose between the various OpenGapps and flash one in twrp?
hmm

Typically, you would do that, but for whatever reason Essential Phone is a lot harder to install gapps on; apparently it's not as easy as flashing in TWRP, I'm not daring enough to mess up the rom install by installing it on my own
My guess is, the partitions really throw a wrench into the equation.
Thanks!

Is the A/B partitions, that have just come out, pretty much the same on all Android devices?
Because I see on some phones with A/B it seems to all be working easier then then Essential... hmm
Anyone?

DoR3M3 said:
I use an Mi A1 which has A/B partitions, I wonder what is so different about the Essential then?
Anyone?

Nice to hear, carbonrom was mentioned with no gapps...
Are you going to try microG and Xposed on it, if so, let us know how that works out...

Actually just made a post about a huge issue I am having with Xposed that caused me to need to Uninstall it, but I really need to have it installed so I was asking for suggestions on what to do. As far as microG probably sometime soon I've been customizing the hell out of this phone.
