is the keyboard fix only a flashable? or did you integrate it into your repaired rom?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
It is the WEIRDEST thing Matt. When I put it in the ROM it bootlooped. When I flashed it afterwards after clearing caches several times it went in just fine & worked like it should! I was shocked! LOL
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Cryptic3 said it went fine with CWM & TWRP wouldn't cooperate. She's finicky I tell you. LOL

What's posted now I tried one by one before I linked it up.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
TWRP 2.4.4.0 causes problems for me on other ROMs, I have to use 2.4.3.0. That might be the case with this ROM, too.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
open both your unmodified and modified framework-res.apk's (with 7zip/WinRAR). copy from unmodified meta-inf folder and android manifest.xml. paste in modified version. POOF! All gravy!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Critical_DoubleShot:
Finally it works its alive.... awsome nice work sir hats to you.:good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
BINGO!!! YEEESSSS!!!:​

laugh::good:;)

I was beginning to wonder why it was running SO good on my phone & nobody else's! I even checked to make sure I was in the right threads! LMAO!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Critical_DoubleShot:

Re: [SPOOFED ROM]Black Dalhia Project~Sony Xperia Z Spoofed RLS2~4/3/13 *REPAIRED*

Yes the new download
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Sorry. That's a common issue porting from the EVO & I haven't found a way to patch it yet. ALL you have to do is when it says it has an error searching is tap the "Select Automatically" button and you'll be good to go. Sorry.....I'll edit the OP to relay that message. Mine does it too but it's just one step away from "can't hold her back".
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Did you not say that CWM installed it fine? Or did I misunderstand?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Critical_DoubleShot:
kool yea i figured it out when i abused the automatically search button thnx again now with the google play issue i downloaded the playstore that you provided and the fix for it then i flashed the rom and the play store and also the patch and reloaded the rom so i was able to get most of the stuff but i dont have play store :(, however i do have gmail and google search... any advice?:confused:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
You're going to have to do the ROM first & let it settle. Set it up and then go back in & wipe both caches. Flash the Play Store & boot it back up. Go back in & wi[pe both caches & flash the other Google patch. Boot back up. Go back again & flash the last one after once again wiping both caches. It's a pain but it's the proper way to do it. That's mainly why I tried to roll it all together. Hang in there & remember.....PATIENCE you will need.

Re: [SPOOFED ROM]Black Dalhia Project~Sony Xperia Z Spoofed RLS2~4/3/13 *REPAIRED*

Sorry mate I'm working all day checking in when I can. The successful install was with the new download and on cwm. Now I'm on twrp is doesn't install it fails immediately

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Your going to port another ROM? SWEEEEEET! Wish I didnt have to work. I'd spend all my time porting and making ROM with you good guys but if I tried now I wouldn't be able to give my full attention which wouldn't be fair to you all. Nonetheless thank you Weekends and other developers like you
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
Re: [SPOOFED ROM]Black Dalhia Project~Sony Xperia Z Spoofed RLS2~4/3/13 *REPAIRED*

Porting takes about 10 mins
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Shoot! Don't let him kid ya! It takes Matt 10 minutes! It'll take me every bit of an hour every time!! ;):laugh: LOL
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cryptic3:
Re: [SPOOFED ROM]Black Dalhia Project~Sony Xperia Z Spoofed RLS2~4/3/13 *REPAIRED*

Haha porting sounds easy but making the ROM better?? How long does that take? Haha 10 mins to port a ROM? Then why aren't there more ROMs for our doubleshot mate? Lol jk its not a stab at you developers I'm thankful for what we got.... Any who! I'm home let me see what I can do with this sweet ROM.... Wondering if I have to downgrade the twrp

Edit: I don't suppose anyone has twrp 2.4.3.0 ? I'm on 2.4.4.0 as I to have noticed probable of flash certain ROMs with the newest recovery
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
It's up to you to change recoveries but didn't you say it installed fine with CWM? If the downgraded version DOES do the trick though, make sure & post up your findings.

Just to clarify a little, it doesn't usually take long to get one running but getting every feature cranked up is sometimes an Easter Egg Hunt. But those are the ones with the same processor & the same 480x800 screen size. The others are next on my list. hehehehe
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Look here: http://www.stetsentech.com/lomarb/

There are issues with 2.4.4.0, I think. Some change from 2.4.3.0 causes issues with some ROMs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cryptic3:
Re: [SPOOFED ROM]Black Dalhia Project~Sony Xperia Z Spoofed RLS2~4/3/13 *REPAIRED*

That's why I'm downgrading my recovery so I can test to see if it will flash. As always I'll post up my findings mate

---------- Post added at 06:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

Wooooooo! Black Dalhia is up and running.... ok now that the good news is out of the way time for the bad. It didn't flash with the twrp 2.4.3.0. I went back to cwm :/ on another note I forgot to flash the FREAKING PLAY STORE! MATE its late here I'm tired and I have another long day of work tomorrow. Oh! Almost forgot mate. The network issue is a simple fix I had posted the issue under general 4.2.2. Data issues with the fix
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
sometimes fixing bugs can take some time. there are not more roms because you haven't ported them yet. if you notice right now the only person porting is weekendsr2short and he is cranking them out left and right. if you look I have ported several roms to the mt4gs myself. The most we have had at 1 time porting is 4. strapped got a new device and pulled all his links, I got a new device so I cannot test new ports, riyal was never given permission to port any of his work. it really is easy. if a scrub like me can do it anyone can!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Don't sell yourself short, my friend. We both may just be toddlers in this right now but what we DO know we NEED to know to go any further. And it IS a journey....;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cryptic3:
Weekends sure is shooting out these awesome roms left and right! Thanks Mate for your roms. I've been behind the scenes of xda for about 4 years downloading roms for different devices just last year i decided to make an account and give my input, and help where i can. Now i dont just feel like a leecher. Before i forget mate, is anyone else having issues with the xda premium app? Im having issue this morning just wondering if anyone is as well. Well mates it is a journey and you guys are getting better and better at what you do every time your in the kitchen.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

I like how you said that there aren't more roms out there is because i havent ported them yet. Haha thats awesome mate! That sounds like words of incouragement.:good: I definitely will check out your roms Matt
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
may sound like a dumb question..

how do i do ext?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
This should help.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
He has several really nice ROMs posted and is our "MIUI" port authority, so to speak. And Strapped365 gave me permission to leave his ROMs linked up on my mirror page in case you missed those. (just a head's up....)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
This ROM uses app2ext swapping? I haven't seen that done in a long while. When I read the specs of this ROM, I assumed it was talking about EXT4 for internal memory, not the sd card.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Fuzi, actually you're right! It DID have App2SD software in the original ROM but took it out since everyone used to ask that that be removed. And mine has been set up for ext4 for so long, I just kinda breezed into that answer without scrutinizing what I was saying very well.:o I DID just give the man the wrong answer, didn't I?

So....is ext4 where you go to advanced in CWM and repartition the card? If not, could you give some input on the topic?:good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Remember that little issue of the data settings being dropped every time you decided to reboot Black Dalhia and having to manually reset them? Well, thanks to Diablo67 the "How To" for that issue has finally been resolved and a flashable fix has been added to the OP.

PLEASE follow the link I provided in the OP to his thread for this ROM in the EVO Forums and offer the man a BIG THANK YOU either in a response or on any other post he may have made there.

The important thing is that you THANK THE MAN!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
If the App2SD has been removed, then the format/partition of the sd card should not matter, no ext4 partition required. Now, having the /system and /data partitions formatted ext4 might be required, but I have always assumed that flashing a ROM always took care of that formatting during the flash, but that could be dependent upon how the dev has set up the installer.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
Did that fix work? I tried it a few times in the past but never worked for me
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Sure did! Maybe a fluke but I don't think so.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cryptic3:
Does this data fix work with other ROMs or just this one?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I haven't flashed it on anything else but "theoretically" it should. I'll tell you in just a short bit though. My nephew dropped by & just left or I'd have already done that.

Edit #1..........Works on 4Kornerz.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] josh2020glacier:
Well I'm going to give it a try on your miui ROM let ya know over in that ROM section how it works out
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
MIUI is quite a bit different in alot of aspects. If it DOES that would be GREAT!

BTW....Mattlowry has done all of the Team S.W.a.R.M. MIUI ROMs.;):good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] josh2020glacier:
Nope didn't work could get to boot lol

I'm never scared to give a try
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I was afraid of that. LOL:p
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Like a big dummy, I neglected to nandroid TouchCream so instead I tested this on mattlowry's RemICS UX & it bootlooped. Right now my battery is too low to continue testing for a little while. Until I can go further I have to assume that this is generic for JB ROMs but not ICS. Although it probably WILL work when recreated with new binaries it'll be an hour before I can post those results. Please bear with me.....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] josh2020glacier:
Yeah well if you ever need anything tested let me know. Been around I've had g1. Galaxy s1. HTC mytouch and of coarse this all still ticking. So what I'm saying is kinda familiar with android.

Oooops sorry bout your luck on not backing up lol :) happens to all of us
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Yeah, I had one NAMED TouchCream but it was actually a nand of 4Kornerz! DUH! LOL :eek:

I did get TouchCream going again and checked it & RootBOX & neither had the data drop. I'll go back in a bit & make one up for Matt's RemICS UX & post it up to kinda round out the issue on it.

Appreciate your help & the kind offer Josh! ;):good:

TWRP 2.4.3.0

It worked fine for me using TWRP 2.4.3.0 - no problems, no hangups.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jesterfell:
:good:

THANK YOU ALL!

​

As usual, I am amazed at the amount of talent and ability that comes together at XDA. There can't be many examples of so many able, talented people cooperating and donating so much of their time just for the fun of it, then sharing with us the fruit of their labor. I will never tire of saying THANKS!

This has turned out to be a very trouble-free, smooth, and fast ROM (also a lot of fun). It even has a great balance of available settings, apps, launchers, and eye candy. This has been my DD now for a couple of days with almost no issues.

The only problems I've had are of my own making from over-tweaking (and, of course, asking too many times "what happens if I change THIS setting?").

---

One issue does baffle me (but is probably ALSO of my own making). I cannot get Market (Play Store) to run. It starts, then it gives a "Google Play has stopped" error message.

I tried flashing the two Market related ZIPs in the OP, in accordance with OP instructions. I then re-did the complete clean flash but left out both of those ZIPs, only afterwards pushing vending...apk into /system/app/ and rebooting; then a different time into /data/app/ then rebooting.

In every case Play Store crashes or is not present in the app drawer. This is not a major problem for me, as I can update apps using another phone, then side load them to the Black Dahlia one. But I would appreciate any ideas you may have.

--- Update ---

With the file manager, I installed an old Play Store APK that I had (v 3.4.7) and it worked! Only once, but it worked! As soon as I re-booted, it stopped working.

I had already tried installing it with a file manager but it did not work at all at that time. I can't figure out what change there was that made a difference. I don't remember changing any settings.

---

(BTW I've avoided specifically mentioning Weekends cause I know he's very humble and I don't want to make him blush in font of his family.)

Awww, heck, you can handle the embarrassment: THANK YOU, WEEKENDS!!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Yeah, something about 2.4.4.0 is just not right on the Doubleshot, 2.4.3.0 seems good.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
You're TOO kind Jesterfell...but real heartfelt thanks are always appreciated. You're right too. Porting one over & seeing people enjoy it IS fun! You wouldn't believe what a rush it is to get ahold of a stubborn one and then you swap out that just ONE MORE FILE....and BANG....she takes off on you. Thank YOU for trying it and liking it.

Now to the Market issue because this one has proven unique and it's because of the base I used from Tbalden. I used the one that has the constantly updating Market app that breaks itself if the "Non Updating" version isn't used. His last CM10 update

(4.1.X) will update to 4.2.X & it isn't compatible with the ROM. I also included the Gapps he supplied but when testing it always broke it and did as you said. Start once and then fail. His script deleted all the "Vending" named apps which is their "usual" name. In THIS version though, those GoogleDogs named it "PHONESKY" for some reason & it wasn't clearing it....so it was breaking too.

It IS standalone so the Market can be installed 1st or 2nd but I always did it 1st. Habit I suppose. But after removing that stinking Phonesky App everything was peachy on my end. From you're description I gather you're S-Off so I won't go into that BUT the proper way to flash this one is to wipe everything 3 times...both caches, format system under Mounts & Storage & factory Reset. (assuming CWM here) Then flash the ROM & start it & let it settle. Do all your setups except the Market and then go back to Recovery. Then flash ONLY the Market app I supplied & reboot without adding another thing. Once booted up give her a minute to write the right stuff to the caches. Then....go BACK to recovery & flash the Gapps I supplied. If you flash Tbaldens it will break the Market again. Once flashed....boot back up. Give it a minute and go back to recovery AGAIN! (LOL) Flash the KB fix next & boot back up. (I'm seeing a pattern here) Lastly....go BACK to recovery & flash the Data Fix and you should be GOOD TO GO.

It's a pain I KNOW & "PATIENCE you must have" but the correct way to flash patches is one at a time with a reboot in between so android will have the chance to put things where they HAVE to go so it will be YOUR slave & not your master.

GOOD LUCK.....and let us know how it goes.;):good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jesterfell:
Play Store

First of all, don't waste a lot of brain time on this, it's just not that important. I just find it interesting because what little I know tells me it should not be happening.

I've tried to eliminate the obvious possibilities. I even tried the flash on my wife's DS in case mine had a hardware oddity. The two phones have slightly different model numbers, hers is tan, mine is black; but that's the only difference. The results were he same on both pones. The attached txt file lists the steps I took the last couple of times.

I did everything as you mentioned above, EXCEPT that I did not install my apps and change settings until AFTER all your files had been flashed.

The Play Store icon never showed up in the app drawer. However, the file "Vending.3.7.15.noupdate.nosig-aligned.apk" DOES exist in /data/app/ and it does have the appropriate permissions (rw-r--r--).

About patience- one of the few things I've learned in life is that there's no substitute for adequate preparation. I even tend to over-prepare -- it's usually a lot easier than fixing the mess later. In this case, I wiped so many times I felt like reaching for the moist towlettes.

I'll keep fiddlin' & let you know if anything works.

Again, thanks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I do understand but I just hate it when things don't work the same for everyone and the WHY just defies explaination. Can you navigate to the app with something with a launcher in it & fire it up from there?

Sorry....this kind of thing just eats at me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jesterfell:
Play Store - Update

Welllll, it worked! But I tried so many things that now I'm not sure if I did something I forgot to document. Or if I did something so long ago I forgot it.

Here is what I did document:

-Flashed an old GAPPS - "gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip"

-wiped cache & Dalvik

-re-booted

--Play Store was visible in app drawer

=== Play Store worked! TWICE! ===

-The first time it updated an app, the system crashed & self-rebooted as market was installing the update

-phone Boot looped

-I manually reset

-then it booted normally, but the update was not done

-Tried updating the same app again and it updated normally!

Just to check, I re-booted the phone, tapped on Play Store, and it worked again!?!

No loops, no problems...

.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
VERY strange. I'm as confused as you are BUT the end result is what we were looking for. I praise your persistance. Sometimes that's all it takes is refusal to give in!

KUDOS Jesterfell!! Nice JOB!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] themathers:
I have read you guys' discussion and I have tried to flash the rom multiple times, but I still don't know how to get the Market app to work on this rom, or it's impossible?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
It's possible. This is what I told another guy out here. Have you tried it like this....step for step? .........................

..........Now to the Market issue because this one has proven unique and it's because of the base I used from Tbalden. I used the one that has the constantly updating Market app that breaks itself if the "Non Updating" version isn't used. His last CM10 update

UPDATE: I went back & reinstalled EVERYTHING just as posted in the OP. I followed my own instructions and dammit, even though I had no problems when putting it all together the other day my Market crapped out too. BUT.....all I did is to go right back to recovery & flash it over the top of my just installed Gapps and not another problem. The last two updates went off without a hitch & everything is running great. I've had no problems since installing everything and am having fun with a really tight ROM.

Sorry for any confusion but I was just telling you how it worked for me.....the first time. Today it worked differently but was an EASY fix by just reflashing the Market. Hang in there & if you don't first succeed then flash again. This ROM is WORTH IT!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jesterfell:
It IS possible. For some reason it is a little harder to install on some phones. It took me some extra effort, but it worked for me, and market is STILL working for me using this ROM.

(BTW: are you the Beaver?)

I agree completely!

I enjoy flashing different ROMs to try something new, but I keep coming back to this one.

Even when I had to do extra work to update or install market apps, I still stuck to this ROM. It was definitely worth the extra work.

Weekends is right--keep trying, it's worth it! It's a great ROM and Weekends did a great job making it available for OUR phone!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
