cog2 is slightly speedier with better battery life, most if not all the latest roms will require cog2 as your base
[General Questions and Answers] Meneer_A:
Hi XDA,

I noticed on APKMirror that a new version of the Google Play Store was released (5.10.29/30), so I tried to install them, which all went with no problems.

Than I tried to update an app in the Play Store, when after clicking the "Update" button my Google Play Store immediately crashed.

Alright, I removed Google Play Store using Titanium Backup, this might be the biggest mistake of them all (I must have used to "remove updates" from the Settings > Apps menu)

After removing 5.10.29/30 I decided to install 5.9.12 again, because that one was working fine for me.

Installed that, hit the Google Play Store, smacked the Update All button, and boom, crashed again.

At this point I went to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Remove all Data

Went to the Store again, update all, crash...

I have also wiped my Download Manager Data

Also I disabled AdAway, since some hosts file might mess with it...

Ok, I have a Xposed Module "PlayPermissionsExposed", disabled that, reboot, try again, still crash...

Tried wiping the data of the Google Play Store again... Nope...

The Play Store gets as far as;

Opening the Play Store

Accepting the App Permissions

Downloading.... CRASH

And, after this crash, I can't even open the Play Store anymore, just gives me a force-close.

I really hope someone can help me to fix this issue, since I really don't feel like reinstalling my device again.

Talking about my device, I am using:

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505

Rom: Google Play Edition by danvdh

who even needs to google play store when you have apkmirror
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
just boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvic, then flash the gapps you used when flashing the rom. dont wipe any data!.

if that doesnt work, try flashing the rom too. worst case you might loose any mods you made to the system, but data will be fine as long as you dont wipe it.
[General Questions and Answers] Meneer_A:
Thank you, my ROM did not came with a flashable gapps package, so I just wiped only the Dalvik cache.

Too bad, that did not solve the issue...

I am re-flashing my rom right now, without wiping anything, hope that solved the issue, will report back later :)

Can I make a dirty flash from the previous build ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nicobrazell:
[MENTION=3585898]PelegK[/MENTION]. You can try. I just did it from 1st build to second. I flashed the rom, the gapps, and supersu in order, then I wiped dalvik cache and cache only. Reboot
[Nexus 4 Android Development] PelegK:
When I flashed the second build, from the first build, I had to wipe data, without that I got lot of FC's.

quick question: it says in the op the rom is based on aosp while on github faq it says it's based on cm - which one is correct?

It's based on AOSP.

I can´t understand why this thread is so quiet, this is the better MM build I have tried, so smooth, stable and really battery friendly, more tha 4 hours sot over 3G, awesome! Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Yes it's quiet. Mainly because this is a very "minimalistic" ROM and it gives you almost the same experience as on stock. Less features to care of, more stability, less complaints about stuff breaking and causing trouble. Users always want more features, so they are using some other ROMs to suit their needs, but due to the amount of features, it's almost impossible that someone won't find a little bug hidden somewhere and that's basically something to talk about and debate in that particular ROM's thread.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Raza Qadri:
What did you guys changed in the rom that it is not in original android development?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CallMeAldy:
I love it when my threads are quiet, clear indication that things are going smooth and thanks for the feedback mate :D:good:

Well, long story in short.

There was some stuff added in the ROM at it's very early stage and then other ROMs started to pick it too. Mentioning a couple of things. Few tiles, a different approach to quick pulldown (Overlay), a different approach to location modes (Overlay) and a few others. A mod contacted me and after a couple of messages apparently that's not enough for OD section so I asked him to move it to Development since it really does not matter to me. People who would want to use the ROM would use it anyways and I'll keep going on the same way. :D

when rebooting my phone, after boot it always says android is starting. .

its normal?

clean flash with no any mods, i try reboot and shut down power off, it always perform android is starting. . +- 25 apps before finishing boot.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] caluz78:
Here too.

Also SOD sometime..

No mods, stock kernel.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CallMeAldy:
The optimized apps are usually Google apps or third party apps? If it's Google apps try changing your Gapps package if it 3rd party apps then did you both restore them with Titanium Backup?

I'm facing no such issues on Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and Nexus 6P
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ahzoe:
some system apps(calender storage, launcher3, etc) and whatsapp. .im not using titanium backup
[Nexus 4 Android Development] caluz78:
System and thirdy apps.. 31 apps.. The process is very fast..

I restored many apps with titanium.

Which Gapps do you suggest?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] danielcepa:
Here too. 30-ish apps, quickly. Not really a problem, just odd.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CallMeAldy:
I'm using Banks

Can you guys try clearing dalvik cache and cache and check if the problem still exists?

Thanks for reporting stuff in details, I'm still looking into stuff and trying to reproduce this issue but I can't as of now
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Ümit:
After reading this comment I will try this ROM. But I can't find link for gapps.

There is a recommend gapps? Can anyone give the link.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CallMeAldy:
Try using Banks or Open GApps
[Nexus 4 Android Development] danielcepa:
Still happening after wiping cache and dalvik.

A simple reboot or even a soft reboot (!) prompts "Android is updating" 33 apps, google, and non google aps. (some: calendar storage, setup wizard, messaging storage, launcher3, etc). It is a mix of system apps, gapps and android market apps

Dynamic Banks Gapps 21Nov, Supersu2.52.

Is there any way to help bugtracking this issue ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bart.found:
I think it's so quiet because it's pretty much bugfree.. and because development posts are on the G+ community too..

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

As I already reported in G+ community, I have this issue too, but to be honest the optimization is very fast! 40+ apps in few seconds!!! So I don't think it's really building ART cache...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Raunak_2003:
New Emoji

I noticed that the new emojis are not present in the last build of 6.0.1

Do I need to do anything to get them or will they be included in the next build?:)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
Google keyboard needs to be updated from what I heard from zephiK. You have to use the AOSP keyboard in the meantime if you want to see the new emojis. Thing is, if the other dude doesn't have Android 6.0.1, he won't be able to see them(I believe), so what's the point? :P
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Raunak_2003:
I used the AOSP keyboard, but can't see the now emojis. I guess I'll have to wait for the Google Keyboard update.

Thanks

If I don't mention clean flash when I post an update all you need to do is wipe cache, dalvik cache and system and flash the ROM along with the GApps and you're done.

Coming from Chroma, had a clean install as instructed.

Looks smooth and simple..! as far as SOT is concerned, I am yet to check the exact results but overall till now, it is giving an excellent SOT.

Few things I wanted to know.

Why everytime I reboot, it keeps optimizing few of the apps ranging from 20 to 36..

and

the battery percentage is not visible on the lock screen.

Rest of it, No recommendations, the ROM is good and would like to stick to it.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Probably the Gapps. So do a clean wipe again which means you have to got into recovery--> Wipe --> Advanced wipe, and select to wipe everything except for the internal storage. Now flash the ROM.zip, Gapps (from the link below), and other additional stuff that you prefer. Now you can choose, from the menu that appeared after the installation finished, "wipe cache and dalvik cache" (I always do that cause it only takes a few seconds and it doesn't hurt), then reboot to system.

Dear dev,

I am reporting one concern which others may also confirm and share the log cat.

Anyone of you facing the connect and disconnect problem while connecting the charger . if yes then its a ROM related bug which is exactly the same in chroma too.

I gave them all list of trouble shoots I did

Changed cable

Changed charger

Changed the charging Jack

Changed the ROM from chroma MM to Min OS

but then later I realised that if I restart then automatically it works perfect.

Then eventually I read moving to stock can give me the last resort and I moved to stock and vollah the problem got resolved.

Then I moved to chroma lollipop. I confirm that no problems at all in that ROM, but that has given me assurance that it is all related to bug in the ROM.

Others can confirm if they have the same problem.

Hi, I love the idea of your ROM, but after I did a clean install, I didn't find a File Manager or something like that to install apk in my external storage. I did notice the "Explorer" but it's not able to install an APK file.

I did a search but no one is complaining about this, so I guess you all install something from Play Store first, but I kind of have to install something first to access Play Store.

If I follow the OP instructions to wipe data, cache and dalvik-cache, are my DCIM folder photos left intact, or do I need to copy and preserve these to my PC. Also, what about my existing custom recovery (TWRP) and Supersu? I assume I need to install these too, but at what point in the work flow? Extra info, my LP OS uses Supersu2.46. The version 2.66 seemed not compatible with my Titanium Backup save operation, so I went back to 2.46, which previously worked for me. So, what version of Supersu is compatible, or not? Thanks.

Bill M
[Nexus 4 Android Development] atembleque:
You only have to wipe data and cache, so the storage will not be erased, and your DCIM folder is located there. Your recovery will not be changed, but you need to have the latest, so I sugest you to search for it and flash it trough ADB. The SU is included into the ROM. I don't use TB so I can't answer that. If you search for any of your questinos you'll find a lot of answers on XDA

[Nexus 4 Android Development] bmoke:
[MENTION=5069956]atembleque[/MENTION]. Thanks for the info. It was not clear about the source for the SU, for this rom. The OP did not state it was required, probably because it was included.

From Google Plus:

For those asking for ETA on Minimal OS and my other projects.

Yesterday my laptop's motherboard decided to stop working. Probably a short circuit and because it's one of those newer models there are chances that it cannot be repaired without replacing the whole motherboard including the CPU. I'll probably get to know if it can be repaired in the next two days. If it can't be repaired then this might as well be an end to development if not forever then at least for some months until I get myself another laptop or a PC.

Cheers until then :)
