Download xboost and open the xboost base zip then go to system/app and extract GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
Set rw-r--r-- perimissions and reboot device then it will be available

I just installed this ROM. So far no problems and a great experience. And yes - it is fast!


After some testing I am still impressed by the speed. However, I had to return to my previous backup. The reason: "SIM Tools" have been eliminated from this ROM, an app I need on a daily basis for my providers mobile money function. I tried to bring the app back via Titanium Backup, but I failed on 3 attempts.
@TheBrainCandy if you consider to do an updated version anytime soon, please include the rather small "SIM Tools".

Other than that, I like the Apex launcher, however, that way I am loosing some very convenient widgets from the stock launcher which I couldn't bring back: (1) the dual SIM supporting widgets (2) the quick settings widget which in my case offers highly useful shortcuts given the XE's small screen as I do a lot of tethering switching between the 2 SIMs on a daily basis.

Good to know that L.E.D 26 and GoogleContactsSync is back to the the ROM apps in the last update

thanks For letting me know and about SIM Tools i'll put it back next update and about the launcher if you want the stock back just install if from the aroma menu other than that stock widgets hard to make them work on Apex or any other launcher but you can have some quick settings with Android Tuner or any similar app

I fully agree after trying to bring the widgets back myself. Installing both launchers actually kept my phone from booting. If I had just the SIM Tools working I would be a happy camper keeping the stock launcher.

I'll be waiting for your update...

Ok, it's working, both SIMs are working as intended. Now I'll just have to get me the launcher/widget combination.

After another clean fresh install I have exactly what I wanted. Thanks.

Have you followed every step of the installations instructions from post #1? Including the factory reset in step 8?

I did that only ... but the problem was there. anyhow, this rom probably would not work with 2.1 ftf coz i was stuck in a bootloop ..

i still dont know whats the difference between C1604 and C1605, maybe 3.1 ftf not compatible with c1604
and i tried installing the rom based on 2.1 and everything works fine. btw my phone is the C1605
i even tried installing c1505 firmware on my phone and wifi and everything work well except no sim detected :silly:

Thanks, great work! :highfive:
Now i'm using on XE SS (see my signature), and no have bug.
I have changed the launcher with Holo Launcher HD and i have installed Holo Locker because the launcher included in the zip is slow.
