Hello.

If a user tries to install an application, then you sometimes get a message:

Rarely, it will give the user a reason for the installation failure. It's annoying and disappointing to recieve the message with the word „NOT“.

This did happen frequently but since Android 3.2, there is a new (and annoying) restriction.

If the User tries to install an Android Application with a lower version number than the one, which is already installed a system, Andriod restricts the user from doing that, so the user is unable to downgrade apps.

The only workaround is, to do an App-Backup with a computer and root-toolkit like SkipSoft or WugFresh. Then uninstall the application, install the APK with the lower version, and load the application data.

I do already know, that there is an app, called AppDowner, which can override this restriction without needing a computer, but this app needs root access to do that.

With a Galaxy Pocket S5300 with Android 2.3, it's easy to downgrade the application by installing the older APK, because the system does not restrict you from doing that. But with a new high-tech-flagship, that's not so easy, because the user can

not

install apps with a lower version number.

One of my classmates with a Galaxy S3 GT-i9305 (4.0.4) and a Galaxy S2 (4.1.2) played Hill Climb Racing on his Galaxy S2. She knows the bug of all versions until 1.6.1.

[YOUTUBE]rosRbxQEJEU[/YOUTUBE]

My classmate wanted to downgrade, earn 200 Million Coins with this bug, and upgrade that again. She expected this to be simple.

She downloaded the old APK-Version (HCR 1.6.1 or 1.6.2) from <Mod Edit by [MENTION=4036181]Darth[/MENTION] : Site mention removed, for PPC and registration requirement to use.> and tried to install it. After she realized, that she is unable to downgrade the application, she was really disappointed.

It would be better if Android would just warn the user, if the user is downgrading an app, instead of restricting the user from downgrading completely. Nobody needs those restrictions.
[Android General] Daniel x88:
I am with you, bro!

Downgrading apps was possible with a Galaxy Note 1 N7000 with Android 2.3.7.

I've been trying to use a tutorial on modaco which I can't link because I'm a new user to root my ZTE KIS 3, but I can't get past the fastboot command, it says "wating for device" and nothing happens, I've tried turning it on myself, I've held down the power button and power + vol up for 20 seconds maximum and nothing happens, I've waited withou touching it and it just stays black. I feel like the rest is a piece of cake, I just can't get past fastboot for making a rom dump. Any help?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh98:
Got my Nexus 6P yesterday in the UK. It's great!

I'm curious about the 'CE' text printed on the bottom panel on the back of it, a lot of the photos I've seen make it look like other devices don't have it which looks a lot cleaner, I don't think it's just the lighting/angle.

Is it true some do and others don't have it? If so any reason why?

Here's a picture (not mine) of the printed text I mean.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richie.slayer:
Think it depends on the country regulations, the units that ship to my country(India) have them as well.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dewedMountain:
Yea I think it's based on each country. I know the phones in US had to have that info printed too until last few years when FCC made that info not required no longer. I know my Nexus 4 and 5 both had it printed.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 640k:
i'm more concerned about that ugly-ass barcode on the back.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh98:
Barcode is obviously just a sticker..

But yeah I guessed it'd be regional. Thing is I'm sure iPhone etc doesn't have those in the UK anymore so I'm not sure why these do. Not a huge deal as I'll be putting a skin on it anyway.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Won't be druv:
Dumb question but what is the sticker for? I wondered about removing mine earlier because as you say, it's ugly.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh98:
No idea, just stick it somewhere on the box. No need for it to be on the phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darfbozo:
That'll be your IMEI number you've just posted to the world. I'd remove the pic asap, phone cloners can use it ...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh98:
It's not my photo, was from someone who posted it on Google+. Spose I should edit my post at least for his benefit. Blurred it out.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kashtrey:
In the US, the FCC has allowed that info to be placed in a software location rather than on the phone itself. Probably just different in your country.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phazmos:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cares:
It actually is not an IMEI number. I removed my sticker yesterday. It just is the phone model number and some other info. Nothing related to MEID or IMEI.

I don't have the CE marking on my phone in the US.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Won't be druv:
Just looked at my sticker, I'm in England and it does include the IMEI number.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunden:
Does anyone know if the same printed information is there on all international versions of the phone? There seems to be two SKUs, the US version and an internation version.

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemkocic:
On my Honor notification LED light is working only with pre-installed and google apps. Without additional app you cannot control it. I tried Light Flow, and from there you cannot choose Viber, Whatsapp or Facebook but at least you can control what will happen with pre-installed and google apps. With any other app LED light is just not working. Is there a way to change this, and did somebody else had this problem..?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apastrophe:
You can use settings in Whatsapp for turning on the notification light. In fact, Honor 7 has multi colored light.

For Whatsapp: Go to Settings > Notification > Light

I have tried all the colours in the colour options and all of them working normally.

For facebook go to App Settings > Notifications (Turn these ON) > Phone LED (Turn this ON)

You're done. The notification will blink red by default for Facebook
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemkocic:
Hi, thanks fo the answer! :)

Anyway it didn't help. Of course those were the first things which i checked when i noticed this problem. And in every app LED light was enabled, but no blinking. But since you told me that on your phone works, i searched a bit more, and I found a solution with Light Manager app. I manage to enable there LED blink for all the apps which i use.

I highly recommend this app it gives you much more options and it works with much more apps than Light Flow.

Although it would be perfect if this would be solved inside EMUI.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apastrophe:
Thanks for recommending the app. Great that it helps in blink timing.

Thanks to [MENTION=5097283]miau9202[/MENTION] I just finished an automated script for installing Xposed Framework on ZE500KL and on ZE500KG

Prerequisite:

>Root

>BusyBox Installed

>ADB driver installed(old method only, but you'll have them from root)

>USB debugging activated in 'Developer Settings' (old method only)

NEW METHOD

Right now, the best way to flash xposed now is to download and install the TWRP recovery from HERE and then reboot in to it and flash the official xposed zip you can find HERE (It's important to download the

sdk21-arm64

version, so check twice)

OLD METHOD

How To:

>Connect your phone while switched on to your pc

>Run "InstallXposedInstaller.bat" first (Optional: you can download it yourself and install by hand, this is just to make thing faster)

>Run "InstallXposedFramework.bat" second

-You need to press a button after each passage, to proceed. This is done for debugging purpose, so that if you have an error you have the possibility to copy it

-NOTE: the error "WARNING: linker: could not load library "libsigchain.so" from LD_PRELOAD for "gz

ip"; caused by library "libsigchain.so" not found" is NORMAL, you can simply ignore it and proceed​

Your phone will reboot and after a while (it coul require even 10 minutes), it should appear the "Android Upgrade" pop-up.

Wait for him to complete and then you are ready to go!

Download:

Official Version - for .118

Unofficial Shakalaca Version - for .156

Manual Procedure:

If you prefer (or need) to manually insert the commands, here you a re a copy-paste friendly transcription:

Tested Modules:

Snapprefs - NOT Working (Bootloop)
XInternalSD - NOT Working (Bootloop)
BootManager - Working
Intelli3g - Working
PowerNap - Working
VolumeSteps+ - Working
YoutubeAdaway - Working

To fix your problems you can try this, it worked for me, download this file and place it in the Jyrachy's Xposed ZE500KL folder (with "InstallXposedFramework" and "InstallXposedInstaller" files)

File: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7qd8mpcLFB2UGoxS1MwZExJOVk/view?usp=sharing

then after opening it write these commands in the shell

chmod 777 system/tmp/flash-script.sh

cd system/tmp

./flash-script.sh

If anyone tries this modules and they're working, maybe it's my Xposed installation problem.

Hi. It seems that I've ran into a compatibility issue when attempting to install framework, screenshot here - imgur.com/YEKlsiN

Used the Shakalaca version. My build is "WW_12.8.5.156_20151026"

(beginner to rooting)

Edit: made it work. Figured that I had to actually open busybox to install it and after installing through google play

So I followed instructions and things appeared to go well (reboot with apps optimized), but when I checked the installer, the framework doesn't appear to be installed. Screenshot - imgur.com/Lc1MHJZ.jpg

nvm about the bootloop, I figured it out. Now I'm still confused what made my phone bootloop, the xposed or the XinternalSD. Since someone with ZE500KG is safely using xposed, I'm guessing it's just XinternalSD.

I need to swap so bad, oh well :rolleyes:
