Mayby xposed framework can help us somehow? I do not know how exactly, I just know, that it is powerful :)
[Windows 10 Mobile] anghelyi:
Generaly it's true, but I was able to circumvent it to some extent: if you install ES File Explorer, you are able to start android app from there and the back button will return you to ESFE if you exit the android app you started. Maybe installing a launcher and launching the Google apps from there would be helpful? It's just hunch, maybe it works, maybe not.

doesn't work: no root access while installing framework

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

ok, guide works but I must not run google accoun manager, after this it's unable to run apps

it means: no ingress now :(
[Windows 10 Mobile] DarkAngelFR:
Every time I run an app after this "patch", I have this issue : no way to start another app.

By the way, reboot allows you to restart another...On my device I get Account Manager connecting my gmail account, then reboot and now PlayStore starts and sees my account (not able to connect to have app list but it starts and shows my account)

Waiting for next updates ;)
[Windows 10 Mobile] snoozbuster:
First of all, I wish I could help you guys. I know next to nothing about Android internals. I had a thought today that might help you guys; the core problem we have right now is that we can't run two apps at once. But, in this thread, you install an APK that does have an effect while in other apps; namely it re-enables the keyboard and back button. It also suggests the most reliable install method is to push the APK and install it on the device with

pm install

, otherwise you may get INTERNAL_AGENT_ERROR. Perhaps these ideas will give you some insight. I'm going try this tool when I get home, but I don't plan to hard reset first so we'll see how it goes.

Hi

Questions!

I installed this on my lumia 920 all day long. I have to do 4 hard resets just to get it right, as far as I know. After I successfully installed this, I am not really sure what the benefit of this. Nothing seems to be working.

So I have questions and I would appreciate it if someone will answer. Please don't be offended with my questions. They're just questions after all.

#1. What does this modification do with the phone? I didn't see any advantage after installing it. Everything is not working and just crashes. Apps still looking for google services.

#2. With the instructions on the first page, do you do the UNINSTALL process after you INSTALL? or do you do the uninstall process if you just want to reverse the process?

#3. Why do we have to remove the phone on developer mode when rebooting?

#4. Fallout shelter often crashes. Is it because of the phone memory? or is it because its lacking google services?

Thanks in advanced! :)
[Windows 10 Mobile] pidibi:
without this you will not be able to switch again to developer mode after restart

withpout dev mode you are not able to run android apps
[Windows 10 Mobile] soad26:
Thanks for the quick response :) is this by chance? because I always reboot my phone with dev on but does not give me the issue like you've mentioned.

android rule: devs working for YOU so only say tnx and DO NOT ASK FOR ETA's
[Windows 10 Mobile] dandrayan:
I know it has been said that the Google Play limitations are partly because only one Android app can run at a time, but last night I noticed that the Amazon Appstore is somehow able to get around this. I was able to take apps installed on a real Android device through the Amazon Appstore and sideload them on my Lumia 1520. For example, launching Scribblenauts Remix from the Start Screen gives an error that Amazon Appstore services are missing. But going through the Amazon Appstore and launching from there succeeds and keeps both apps open at the same time!
[Windows 10 Mobile] ap3rus:
I suspect this could be possible due to that if app is launched through Amazon Appstore then it is loaded using Android intent startActivity - I'm not an Android developer but heard about that, would be great if Android developers could confirm this and come up to some solution based on this.

Interact_across_users permissions

---------- Post added at 23:20 ---------- Previous post was at 22:59 ----------

If you try Nova Launcher, it should do the same.

The problem is more complicated than normal: Apps can't access/link to app/priv-app folder.

That required a lot of work.
[Windows 10 Mobile] dandrayan:
And I'm guessing Google Play services have to be in the app/priv-app folder? Darn, I was really hoping this would help uncover an easy solution!
[Windows 10 Mobile] ADeltaX:
The problem is: If you install apk like Play Store from adb/packageinstaller, after installing it can't reference from priv-app/app.

If you put phonesky.apk (Play Store) on app/priv-app folder, it can reference, but you can't launch it.

This is the problem.

on android file explorer.

the aow shortcut doesnt even work, and even then i dont understand what to do with it...
[Windows 10 Mobile] ap3rus:
Of course Android File Explorer won't work without acquiring root on AOW which is something yet to be achieved.

Regarding the shortcut - what exactly is not working, could you be more specific? Just in case - you have to put shortcut to the phone using Explorer on your computer, and then open File Explorer on the phone and click the copied shortcut and follow the instructions.
[Windows 10 Mobile] ADeltaX:
You need to use File Explorer from WP, not from android...

I can not find GSMCORE in my phone after pushing.

I followed as the instruction. After pushing it to phone, I can not find the GMSCORE.APK with ESFileExplorer on phone, File Explorer on Phone and File Explorer in PC.

I have no idea where it is.

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 AM ----------

After trying to find where is GMSCORE, my phone auto resets. And now when I try to access "For developer" option, it crashes.

What should I do? Hard reset
[Windows 10 Mobile] augustinionut:
Unregister the phone from pc.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Xylynx:
Just to be a bit more clear in case you need it you need to use the Windows phone developer registration 8.1 tool. Just plug your phone in and open the program. I think it might say you need to register your phone first so just click the register button and log in. Then when its register close and re-open the program and it should have a unregister button instead. Click that, log in and your phone developer options will work again :)
[Windows 10 Mobile] Vladir95:
damn thank you so much, didn't understand the instructions properly, working now!
[Windows 10 Mobile] nuthinbutnet:

[Windows 10 Mobile] karaki93:
it's true project astoria cant handle two apps at the same time but for microsoft its not supposed to do the apps should use project astoria to work but they are supposed to use the windows mobile backgroud system to stay alive thats why these apps will get some tweaks and be published as .appx through the windows store thats why it still at early stage. maybe i dont know the right word to express the idea but i think this is very close

Please help me! What do you mean??? The shortcut that located to my Windows 10 computer (aow shortcut) doesn't work.

When i doubleclick, on it, it ask to remove the shortcut. Here the properties for this shortcut, that doesn't work here: C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow

And also on my Lumia 1520 Phone, i can't find this aow shortcut.

OK, when i continue to the installation, it gives an error to the permissions of /system/app/gmscore.apk.

Then, i choose in the second screen for option 2, install all Google apps. Tree or four apps doesnt' install, one of them gives a java error??

AFter this, i reboot my Phone (i see it as a text on my pc). After restart my Phone, i click on playstore.

My Phone configures something, but then return into the WP10 menu. And it didn't start again.

Is this a fault related to the shortcut (as descripted above into this message) that i can't found on my pc/WP10 Phone?

Excluded wearable Apps.
[Windows 10 Mobile] soad26:
I think you misunderstood me. What I'm trying to say, just maybe if we have lollipop as sub system, it might run very well with our phones, and have a higher rate of running apps.

Anyway, apps like kotor, earn 2 die, hitman sniper, surgeon simulator, and more just crashes on launch.
[Windows 10 Mobile] CyberstormXo:
I know what you mean, but it's alrdy running with ART, so there would be no performance boost.

And those apps are not crashing becauz of KitKat.

Project Astoria is still in a early preview, try those apps after some time/after (official) release.
[Windows 10 Mobile] soad26:
I see. Thanks for clearing this up :) another question that now you brought up ART. Is it possible to switch to dalvik?

For me on my 1520, the script runs just fine but it did not work. This is on the last 3 recent insider builds.

All of the Gapps install, and I can launch them - however when launched they say 'getting things set up' and then eventually the app closes/crashes. I get notifications occasionally indicating that Google Photos cant access GPS.

I know this is a work in progress - I'm just sharing my results - great work so far! :)

BTW, not sure if you are familiar with the instructions on this other site, but they mention additional files to make it work. These files do not exist on my phone so i have not been able to test.

Installed Clash of Clans but couldn't get it work still asks for Google Play Services.

Anyone got it working? Or still isn't possible?
[Windows 10 Mobile] Kaantje:
I installed Clash of clans too, without this pack and it didnt ask for anything?
[Windows 10 Mobile] Seyar.q:
Actually the problem is not to avoid asking Google Play Services, but to load game data/village from your Google ID.

You can stop it to ask or show Google Play Services but you can not load your game data/village unless you get Google Play Service to work.
[Windows 10 Mobile] falc0nfire:
When an Android Application try to connect to the Google Play Services, there is always an authentification problem. And to authenticate the phone, we need to connect it with a Google Account.

For reasons I do not know, when we login with our Google Account (with Google Account Manager), the account is not saved on the phone. You can start the application as many times as you like, it will always ask you to reconnect... :confused:

Edit : I think this is caused by GSF ID which is null.
[Windows 10 Mobile] falc0nfire:
I extracted gapps.zip (flashable zip) for Android 4.4.4 in the RootFS folder, and then, manually install all applications in /system/app (thanks to adb). The result?

(When a application tries to start Account Manager, it crash).

I just read trough the post and I had an idea hope it can help you developers. Sometime back I installed google services in a amazon kindle tablet. doesnt have gapps from base. And after installing all the stuff i granted it permission to interact with other services. I dont really recall how i did it, i followed an tutorial somewhere in the web. Hope this help someone and i will try to test it when i getvsome free time. Btw great work.
