YouTube vs AddAway

As most of you probably noticed AddAway is not blocking adds on YouTube any more :(

I did some research and testing and I came to conclusion YT apk v.5.3.28 is probably last on which AddAway works. See AddAway thread - link to YT app there.
[MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION], could you point me in which package of Slim Gapps I can find it? I was downloading 6.0 gaaps amd 5.8 gapps and there were 5.4.xx versions which were showing adds.

I'd love to have it TRDSed :) The ideal would be to have a recovery flashable zip with this old version of YT without adds. In this way I would flash Slim minimal gapps and on top of it a zip with that TRDSed YouTube. I was always a mini gapps user up until YT was moved to normal gapps so I had to start using them to have it.

[General SlimRoms Discussion] Natakranta:
Cool but even though I'm on dalvik I'm not using Xposed. I'd rather use older version of YT apk where adds are successfully blocked by AddAway than install Xposed just to have no adds on latest YT apk.

I'd just love to have it TRDSed and ziped to flash in recovery after flashing ROM and slim minimal gapps.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Vonnegut:
What's wrong with Xposed?

I think everyone should have Xposed installed along with the a few modules, namely:

- app setting

- crappalinks

- bootmanager

- XAD

Four quite small modules that make your life much happier

As for BBS, it can be installed on userdata. Once opened, it asks to install a small appendice on the system to work properly.

If deleted, BBS will replace the appendice once it's opened again.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
That version was from well before I joined slim team even. It's a really old version.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] hooliganx:
for me, adaway stop working just about 2.. 3 weeks...

I don't use YouTube so much, but unless 1.. 2 times a week, and only notice this last week.

so...maybe a so old version is really solution? [emoji15]

[General SlimRoms Discussion] Natakranta:
Exactly, 2-3 weeks more or less. But 5.7.41 is already resistant to AddAway and I think it's older than that. So what's going on here?

I use YT few times a week and even that usually download the video in FHD with XDA_dentex YTDownloader. Still adds are annoying previewing the videos to download. Especially that I haven't seen them for such a long time I forgot there are adds on YT :)

It seems like when finally everything is working fine for the user Google must come up with new update and fcuk it up...

Don't even let me start on KitKat Chromium and castrating AOSP Browser with text wrapping and uploading files, yeah, who would care about such useless features on mobile devices [/rant]

I'm pretty sure the zip checks to make sure you're running a 4.4 ROM. So, it would just fail right away. I might be thinking of PA Gapps though.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
Made it back alive. I'll be updating several of the gapps applications over the next week, so don't be mad if there are two or three revisions in the same day. Plus I've got some catching up to do at work and some stuff on gerrit to update so I'll be a little busy. Sorry if it seems like I'm not very talkative this week, but I'll be lurking ;)

[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
just regular chrome. no chrome beta. no plans for beta chrome either, because these gapps packages are released for the purpose of finding any bugs before the packages are released as counterparts to official stable builds. because chrome beta is by nature a beta app, it won't be released (ever) as part of a stable gapps package.

well, that and because it gets updated far too often for me to keep up with.

i think [MENTION=2126467]djdarkknight96[/MENTION] has a dark-themed chrome beta though. you can check it out on team blackout's website. it just won't work with the trds switch in slim (it will be dark all the time).

sorry, i use chrome beta sometimes too, but i had to draw the line somewhere :p
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:

[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
thanks for the report. i just duplicated the error on my side as well. unfortunately, logcat points to a nullpointerexception. if anyone want to have a look at the logcat, you can check it out here.

i didn't modify google plus at all when i included it in gapps (i couldn't even get it to decompile lol). only thing i did was move libs into /system/libs directory in the gapps installer package. it's entirely possible that this issue stems from google plus being installed as a system app. or, it could be a google bug. not quite sure. either way, deleting photos from google plus's built in photos feature deletes photos like it's supposed to, it just force closes afterwards sometimes. if this bothers you enough, you can remove PlusOne.apk from the /system/app directory in the gapps package prior to flashing, and just install google plus from the play store instead.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] bobby_sucker:
well, i see some users say GAPPS beta latest has some issues

for example after deleting photo in Photo+ an error of G+ appears

Anybody has it working? The rest of the gapps works fine with Chromecast.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] chikimonke:
Should be fine, though you can probably just pull the play store out and replace the one in whatever gapps package you want to use. I'm not sure if the Play Store has any other files that you'd need though, check with [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] first. (Or anyone else more in the know than me)
[General SlimRoms Discussion] likonvampire:
I think these are the following files also required

Search brought the following up as stated by [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION]

Play Store (phonesky.apk), play services (prebuiltgmscore.apk), and services framework (googleservicesframework.apk) are all hacked for multi dpi. And for play services, you'll need classes.dex AND classes2.dex.

Hi [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION]

got a serious problem and until solved I am unable to use SlimRoms (now you understand why I am so sad).

2-3 weeks ago I started to have a problem installing SOME (most) apps.

From playstore the app is downloaded, but with the beginning of installation of the app the phone always soft reboots (from the begionning it was few apps like Instagram, but over time I am unable to update/install almost everything). I also start being unable to install apk files. Originally I was on beta gapps (not sure the exact build number but it was around 176 when it started). First thing I did was clearing playstore and framework data. 2nd thing was clearing playstore and framework data formating /system and reverting back to last known working combination of ROM and gapps (172 or so). No success - it gets even worser. cannot install almost anything (there were exceptions).

So I did full wipe, I flashed stock sammy rom, and start over again on clean slim (just for the record I tried all 3 packages of gapps) but with no luck. At the time being unable to install any root explorer or terminal emulator so not able to provide any logs (yeah I know we have adb, but I didn't have it setup). I also tried Stable Slim with stable gapps but did not work for me ...

On sammy rom I have no problems with playstore, then I tried Phoenix rom and again without problems, now I am on CM and again no problems with playstore.

I will be doing another full reinstallation comming from stock during the upcomming weekend and definitelly I will try Slim again, but I am pretty sure I will have the same problems.

Thanks for any .... thing
[General SlimRoms Discussion] shaggyskunk:
If you're not having problems with other Roms - including stock TW - First thing that I would do would be to Download SlimKat again - Verify Sha1 - Factory Reset - Wipe system and caches - Flash Rom and Gapps - Reboot

It's possible that you had a bad download of SlimKat to begin with...

[General SlimRoms Discussion] Kondra007:
Some questions

Hello everyone.

I've tried searching this thread, but with no luck.

My question is: how to understand, if new version of gapps can be installed over the previous one or if it should be installed with wiping /system?

For example, I'm on beta mini gapps v197, can I just install v205 over it? or because there're v199 and v203 before 205, I need to wipe /system?

And a little off-topic, is it necessary to install (or re-install) gapps package when upgrading SlimKat versions?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Uhm - Then your issue is very strange - I have 4 different devices - All running SlimKat - And no issues with Slim Gapps or downloading and installing any apps from the store....

You did say that you used Odin to flash back to stock TouchWiz - Correct?

Slim FAQ: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/faq
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Maramu:
[MENTION=4819781]Kondra007[/MENTION] When I flash new GApps, I always wipe /system, just to be sure nothing goes awry. As to upgrading ROM, I've never reinstalled GApps, due to the fact that Slim backs them up. AFAIK!
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Kondra007:
Just to be sure: wiping /system causes ROM re-install, right? (I mean, when /system is wiped, ROM can't start)
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Maramu:
Yeah, you also need to flash the ROM.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] s3icc0:
1st of all this issue is strange to me as well as it comes suddenly without warning - and what is more important it comes after 6 months using the same ROM and same flashing procedure, and I am not aware of any change I did on my device to cause this issue. It just happened.

Yes (over last 2 weeks I made full Odin new installation like 3 times) one time I did a complete renewal of my phone flashing partition file (pit) and also newer bootloader just to be sure my phone is 100% clean of anything. I re-root it, flashed new recovery, and start over. And before someone asks I am not using titanium backup so everything is always fresh on my phone.

Well the phone is OK as other ROMs run great - but only Slim Rom actually IS GREAT.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] T3T3droid:
One thing that comes to mind is your internal storage... Not apps but stuff you have stored. When you Odin do you keep data? I've had the issue in the past of the ROM not fully installing, even though it says complete in twrp, because of space limitation. If you completely wipe with Odin then yes this is a strange predicament...
[General SlimRoms Discussion] s3icc0:
you mean data on internal SD or data somewhere in root?

I just ran SD maid and it found some TW apps data on the CM11 installation

and I also have one problem with CM11 - cannot dirtyflash as recovery keeps saying my data format is incompatible - but anytime I perform factory reset it has a green to go ... maybe it could be connected.

[MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] previously told me it could be some partition corruption problem - question is how can I get 100% sure that the content of my root is only what is supposed to be there (really did all wipes necessary, even more) and it is in the proper format on the proper identified partitions?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
Think you can set up adb and capture a logcat while the soft reboot is happening? Might shed some light on what is going on...
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
Yikes, maybe it is a partition corruption situation. Have you asked about it in your device thread for slim? (Not turning you away, just wondering)
[General SlimRoms Discussion] s3icc0:
Yes I did - but finally Sammy ROMs are running without a single problem - if it will be partition problem with sammy it should appear earlier as the ROM size is 10x bigger so the corrupted sectors are filled .... (my thought)

Anyway it seems really that ADB will be the only way how to get a proper feedback to you guys ... I am stupid as it should be the first thing I should do.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
i'll look into it. no promises though.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] T3T3droid:
Everywhere on internal including system stuff, saved images, downloads, apps, app data, music... Etc.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Bejda:
If you're on Windows you don't really need to install sdk and all,a few files from adb platform-tools should be enough like this:

https://app.box.com/s/pww49iwk313jobwo6oep

It's a little old (21/12/2013) but should still be ok i presume.

Rest is about searching the exact commands (like type adb shell first which is mandatory now or something,sorry i don't have all this in mind right now) and better way should be to launch something like "adb logcat > [path to a named as you want output file on your computer]" and reproduce the issue as soon as possible.

Output file should be saved anyway I guess,it may even go on if it's just a soft reboot.

Edit: ..erm...well doesn't seems to work on my side lol,dunno what's up it used to work that way but right now if i can use adb from command the adb.exe doesn't launch even from my currently installed android-sdk..

Sorry :o

Just download the full gapps package. Remove the apps you don't want from /system/app and /system/priv-app, and flash the zip over banks gapps.

You can also delete the files inside /system/lib folder, but if banks gapps doesn't include YouTube, you're going to need to keep /system/lib/libcronet.so (YouTube needs it).
[General SlimRoms Discussion] j1gga84:
