Root [MetroPCS] [ROM] KitKat 4.4.2 NEW BETA 4

Rolgar20 those step might help you get the rest google apps to work because they work though GMS apk to work right!!
I forgot to mention to go to play store once done with steps and update gms apk.
 
Everyone appears to have no problems with beta 5 but I guess I am an idiot because I can't get it to run for more than a few minutes without getting a blue screen o' death and/or or a black screen that pops up a very tiny message about "HW reset has been detected". At that point the phone is useless. Pulling the battery allows the phone to reboot normally but at some random point during use, it does the same blue screen/black screen.
I have wiped/factory reset and I have had the same results 3 separate times after restoring my stock backup.
 
This ROM Is Rock Solid. If your having Problems Wipe Your phone completely and reinstall and do the set-up again. You may have your own preferences but you have the option to customize it as you wish. This is one of My favorite custom Roms that I run on The Lg F6. Thank you Hroark13! You've done a GREAT job on this one and I wasn't a big fan of KIT KAT anyway, So thanks So Much again. :smokingsomb:

1)Download mini nano PA Gapps 4.4.2
2)Extract Prebuilt GMS core apk out priv app folder
3)Use your choose of file browser with root permissions to find stock prebuild GMS apk in priv app folder
4)Replace with nano PA version you just extracted and set permissions
5)Open Root file browser go to Data-Data and delete -com.google.android.gms file
6) Go recovery clean delvik and cache and reboot!!
7) Profit

sorry! i was at college!haha thanks i didnt get to play much with gapps i knew it was something with it.. ill try out your steps! thanks man!

the link for the gapps? i cant find it ._.
 
Rolgar20 here the link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=11449
Make sure after you followed the steps and update prebuilt gms core apk from playstore!!!! Good Luck and let me know if it worked for your other google apps!!!

mm i didnt have a prebuild gmscore. apk before, only gsmcore? do i rename it to gmscore.apk?

i copied the prebuild gms core apk onto my priv data folder,and there wassnt any stock prebuild core apk._. i set full permissions and then deleted the folder on /data/data, rebooted into twrp and wiped dalvik and cache.

no go :( i dont get an update on the playstore for the gms core
 
Is everything confirmed working? Data,wallpapers, bluetooth, wifi, youtube. Is there a change log or someone who knows? It would be greatly appreciated.
 
Rolgar20 delete GmsCore.apk and GmsCore.Odex and place downloaded one set Permissions to rw-r--r,
Redo step 5 and 6. That should work!!! Let me know !!!

worked different for me, ihad todelete gmscore apkand odex, then click to install the prebuildgmscore ap,after that i deleted the folder ad cleared cache and dalvik on recovery, rebooted and i didnt need to upate the gms. it worked straight from reboot.

odd but it still fixed youtube and hangout apps (:

thanks

oddly,the "ok google" feature doesnt workstill, no matter how muchi shout ok google it wont pick my voice
 
Rolgar20 that weird on how ok google doesn't pickup your voice!!! Does the app itself work by typing? Does other voice activated apps work? Check your lib files make sure you have libgoogle_hotword jin.so,
libgoogle_recognizer_jin_l.so!!! Try uninstalling fully ok google and cleaning data_data,delvik and cache,reboot. And Reinstall!! Let me know!!!

And yes ive tried re installing the app

Can anyone recommend any tools for theming/modifying?

I would like to try as soon as my laptop gets here so i could (try) make a g3 like ui and stuff
 
FYI; Just load beta 5, no gapps and setup apns and load the posted build.prop and your done.

Edit Read this: http://androidforums.com/metropcs-o...-kitkat-4-4-2-new-beta-4-a-2.html#post6704660

So, I have managed to avoid the blue death screens but am now having problems replacing the build.prop? I have tried copying and replacing build prop, editing the build prop, copying the text to the build prop and saving...but everything I try results in a boot loop.
I'm getting a little frustrated.

EDIT: I am an idiot...forgot to change the permissions. All is good now. YAY!

Use eclipse and import your changes to an existing theme.
I started with a kit kat theme for lg home and modded it.
There is instructions on xda to start from scratch but you"ll need a lot
of large software packages to do so.
 
Hroark i dont think you saw my post on the cyanogenmod fourm but how do you re enable the noteification led in the kernel because i would like to mess around with it
 
anybody was able to change the statusbar color on this rom?
The status bar on mine is tranparent already, and the notifycation bar is still frosted.
I don't think changing the pull down one is worth it since some menus txt will be affected.

i dont mean the notification drawer, i mean the grey status bar when you open apps, i want it to be changed to black but xposed gravity box doesnt work with this rom :C
