No option to change the app store sadly. Think we'll need a global rom to remove the Chinese one and have Google play installed. I think if you root and then freeze the Chinese app store it has the same affect.

But removing the Chinese app store atm sends the phone into a boot loop.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] objr:
I tested freezing the default app store with root permissions and I got bootloops as well.

So my advice is you live the app store alone. And wait for global ROM ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] slackovic:
I didn't experience bootloop when I froze the Chinese app store. I'm on stock ROM, rooted with King root and froze it without a problem. I was annoyed because Chinese app store opened up when I clicked on Google Play store links.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] WaKaManG:
I flashed this ROM with MiFlash : http://en.miui.com/thread-228503-1-1.html.

No problems when freezing apps with titanium. (browser,file manager,video etc.)

I just have some issues with nova launcher. Sometimes it switches back to default launcher. And with nova i cant view some settings like system info or wifi.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] vittoriop77:
Are you using MIUI 77.1.1.0(LHPCNCK) ?

Which app did you froze ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] slackovic:
I was on stock 7.1.1.0 and rooted it. Then I installed AppFreezer and froze app called App Store with orange Mi logo. After restart, phone asked me which app to use when I clicked on Google Playstore link.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] vittoriop77:
I also rooted but I don't know if I'm using stock rom, do you know how to get this info ?

Did you freeze also other bloatware such as Mi Wallet, Mi Cloud, Mi Video... ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] slackovic:
No. I uninstalled apps that could be uninstalled. Others that I can't uninstall I didn't freeze. I just disabled them to autostart.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] WaKaManG:
When i received my Redmi 3, the webshop already flashed a multilanguage rom and installed playstore for me.

MIUI version would show this : MIUI 77.! Stable 77.1.1.0 (LHPCNCK)

Its not stock.

With titanium i did freeze alot of Mi apps. No problems.

I purchased a used BA with the new WM6 rom a;ready installed, it worked for one day and now the phone ROM is gone. Would this be related to the upgrade or a hardware problem? It is an O2 xda IIs.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Try to soft reset your phone. That might do the trick
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] friscolocks:
Phone rom gone

many soft resets, no change.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Steve123456:
Sounds like you might need to re-flash the phone.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
That was going to be my next suggestion :)

One thing though, why don't you just re-flash the radio rom. I use 1.13 since I found it to work somewhat better in my SX66, I have read however of people who have had great experiences with the 1.15. Your choice really.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Steve123456:
Problem is, if it's as he suggested the ROM, flashing just the radio, is going to be pretty pointless.

And a fresh flash will clear everything, and let him start afresh.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] friscolocks:
soft reset

wasn't soft resetting like I thought, reset with the reset button and it worked, contacted the previous owner and he had the same problem when he had WM5 installed and thought the problem had gone away but I had not. Now All I have to do is get the blue tooth to stay connected, on e problem at a time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyonicus:
Hello friends.

I have noticed a bug in my untouched MMB29Q, and I'm wondering if it happens to anyone else and, more important, if anyone knows a workaround:

It turns out the advanced permissions for my apps don't stick.

For instance, I go to settings -> Apps -> (any app) -> Permissions -> Additional permissions, I'm supposed to be able to manually enable them by toggling the switch next to each permission name, but if I exit the screen and go back, they revert to their off state.

Is it just me?

[General Questions and Answers] Tomato_Jam:
Hope this is ok to ask, I am hitting a brick wall..

I'll try and include as much detail as possible, so apologies if it's a bit long.

I am trying to convert apk to gpk - two apps in particular; MX Player and ES File Explorer

I have downloaded a tool with instructions from another forum using google translate from Burmese to English, but it's not perfect and still very hard to understand.

The name of the tool is GPKMaker.

From the instructions, I think I need the APK and the Data file folder from the same device that I am trying to install the gpk on. But I don't know how I would get the latter without installing it first.. :confused:

I tried to use the MX Player Data folder

- com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad From another device to make the gpk.

I have attached a jpeg of instructions that also came with the tool (In Burmese - I can't translate).

From what I can make out, this is what I am required to have to make it work\install correctly:

(Using MX Player as the example)

FOLDER - MXPlayer with a subfolder and .ini file inside it

MXPlayer

game.ini

And inside the subfolder

MXPlayer.gpk

MXPlayer.png (Logo)

MXPlayer.xml

I have done that, and inside the game.ini file I have this written:

and inside the XML file I have this written:

I then place the main MXPlayer folder on the device I want to install it on, it appears and begins to install, but then stops and doesn't seem to go any further.

I'm guessing where I'm making the main mistake is the data folder.

But I can't find how or where I may get the correct folder from, would it have to be the same chipset? Or would the same cpu be sufficient?

I have tried the same steps above with the ES File Explorer and get the exact same results.

Hopefully someone can help me.
[General Questions and Answers] Tomato_Jam:
After searching extensively, I see GPK are also used for cracked/patching game files. But seems that would require the revers of what I am looking for.

As a result, there seems to be mutiple videos/links/programs for converting gpk to apk.

But no good to me, I want to convert into the file format everyone seems to be trying to get away from :D (typical)
[General Questions and Answers] Tomato_Jam:
Is this in the wrong subforum, or is nobody able to help?

I am really trying, but unfortunately getting nowhere.

Any reply may be helpful :)
[General Questions and Answers] fbifido:
[SOLVED] only if that's a real gpk file?

This is an easy fix.

That MXPlayer.gpk, is it a real .GPK file, not an .APK rename to a .gpk?

if it is a real .gpk, then you are not telling the device where the file is?

in your xml file you list MXPlayer.apk, but the file name is MXPlayer.gpk.

do that an you will the that it works.

(NOW) please tell me how did you convert an .APK file to a .GPK file, using that windows GPKMaker program?

please step-by-step.

Thanks.
[One (M9+) General] Jan0s:
Hello

Please bear with me if this is a stupid question and kindly point me to the relavant thread.

I'm living in China and can only buy those crippled Android devices here (No Google, no PlayStore, no DropBox, to much ....)

However, I need to replace my M7 and don't want to fly to Europa just to buy new phone. Will the following work?

- Buy a new M9+ HTCM9PT(M9+) here in China

- Change CID for example to HTC__102

- Flash Stock ROM (Can someone point me to one if above will work please?)

Important is that I will end-up with a stock firmware and that OTA will work in the future.
[One (M9+) General] nlgasper:
My friend. I've bought my M9+ in China. if you just want to install the Google Package on this mobile, it is quite simple. No need even to root, you won't avoid your warranty. Is that what you want to do? It looks you just want to have the Google Package.
[One (M9+) General] Jan0s:
Thanks for your answer. Did the this with another HTC phone. Unfortunately its not the same at all. Even if you install PlayStore and later other missing apps a lot of servies won't let you store information on DropBox (like HTC Backup for example) but only in Baidu cloud. I couldn't even restore my backups from DropBox because it was, even when installed, was not selectable. At the end the system still is a crippled Android but with a Google PlayStore. BlinkFeed was missing features, Camera Upload always had issues, ...

Thus, my only chance is to either replace completely or buy a phone in europe/HKK directly.
[One (M9+) General] a.s.j:
You can do what I did (see this thread). Hope it helps answer some more of your questions.
[One (M9+) General] nlgasper:
My friend you can do all as well. I did in my M9+ as I told you... please check this way on youtube, it describes the fast way and very very easy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtOXycqD7ig.

It really works as well. Go ahead Sr...
[One (M9+) General] Jan0s:
Phone arrived today :) Will report about my progress

First blocker: "OEM unlocking is not available" :( I see "Enable Bluetooth ..." followed by "Process Stats" but no OEM unlocking in between

OEM unlocking seems not to be needed anymore. Bootloader was unlocked successfully :)

First flashing attemp failed:

I will try to change CID first. Anyone can point me to correct EUR FW for HTC9PW?
[One (M9+) General] Jan0s:
I finally found some time over the weekend. Firstly, just installing PlayStore and later other apps does not make the phone in any way similar to a real Android phone bought elsewhere

DropBox, even if installed and connected, can't be selected to restore HTC backups

Error messages in this round grey overlay box will, no matter which language you select, be in Chinese

A lot of APPs will think you're Chinese because the phone is originally a Chinese phone

Some of the APPs can't be disabled

If you swipe over the HTC Logo there will be a program called "Hidi" or "Heidi" started and not Google. The voice recognition of this program is rather bad. My Chinese friends and me had a lot of fun with it ;)

I therefore decided to invest the 25USD and go the real way. I, S-OFF, changed CID and installed 1.8 EUR version which, after putting S-On again, now runs very good since a couple of days. OTA update to 1.9 worked perfectly!

Thanks to all for their suggestions!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rissered:
Hello Everyone!

First of all, let me say that i'm desperately in need of help with my phone. Here's what happened to it so everyone knows.

My Phone was bought in UAE and was given to me, i live in the Philippines and it was working fine, i can use it on everyday tasks Until, a few days ago my phone performed updates (auto updates) which made it froze, i tried to press and hold the power button but it doesn't turn off. I removed the battery and restarted my phone then all i get is the Boot screen. I went to recovery mode to perform a wipe/factory reset. it returned with a lot of errors about files missing, etc etc...

At that point i thought that my phone might have been updating the OS when it froze so i DLed a stock firmware because i can still go to download mode.

After a day (crappy internet + limited download speed from sammobile) i finished the firmware download then tried going to download mode on my phone but now, my phone doesnt turn on at all. when i press and hold power+down vol+home nothing happens. i tried going back to recovery mode and still nothing happens. Even if i just press the power key nothing happens at all. I tried charging the phone but its not charging as well, The Battery Icon is not showing on the screen anymore but after minutes f charging i can feel my phone getting warmer.

Anyone experienced this issue before or knows how to fix it? i do not believe that the battery died because it was working just a day before.

Any help and TIPS would greatly help.

again: I cannot go to download/recovery mode nor go to the boot screen.

Hi - I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. ROM loads fine, boots, but in the beginning part of the initial setup, it will just reboot. Any idea what could cause this?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
Is your firmware up to date?

Did you wipe prior to flashing?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] crackface:
1) I used adb to flash 3.37.605.15_NoBoot_TWRP3.0.2-0_firmware.zip. Everything went according to instructions, and as far as I know was successful. I can now see I have TWRP 3.0.2.0-0 installed. I'm not sure if it matters, but I tried previously to install firmware via TWRP, and I think that failed, but I tried the ROM anyways and it would just boot to the menu that shows s-off and unlocked at the top. Is there a way to verify the firmware installed correctly? Once I flashed via ADB, I got ROM to boot, but again, it reboots at random times through the setup near where you enter your gmail account.

2) Prior to flashing ROM I wiped via the swipe to Factory Reset + I wiped Davlik Cache, Cache, and Data. Was this correct?

I don't know if this makes a difference, but when I do the factory reset swipe, it says "Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid argument". I think somewhere along the way I might have wiped system along with the others.

Thank you kindly for your response, any further help is greatly appreciated!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] t4duzan:
You can always look in the Settings\About section of your phone to see what version your firmware is. As far as flashing firmware, you can refer to the OP on the first page and it will show you can do it via ADB but also placing it (after renaming it appropriately) on the root of your external SD card and booting to your bootloader and choosing the Download portion to flash the firmware.

​
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Exokan:
So I've been using SuperSu. I'm curious as to why it is no longer compatible? I'm also assuming that if I wanted to get closest to my current configuration (stock deodexed rooted ROM w/Xposed, manually debloated) then I'd go with the Magisk option. What's the deal with encrypted vs. not (is it just the access to the ROM?). The first reason I rooted was because of tether although I did that through a html edit. Im guessing this automatically changes tether guard to 0? Thanks in advance!
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] santod040:
1.)

SuperSu has failed to properly flash(set proper selinux context in the ramdisk) on the Verizon M9 stock roms, as of SuperSu version 2.46. (if I recall the correct version number off hand)

It is now up to Version 2.79.

Yes I could include the last "working" version and let you(the user) update su binary manually via the in-built apps' method(which brings it current).

But then you are faced with the su binary being out of date out-of-box after flashing. Some users panic, etc,..it's just kind of sloppy feeling and I'd rather not deal with it.

(you/the user is free to flash unrooted using that aroma method and flashing their root option of choice, if you don't want Magisk, which is capable of bypassing SafetyNet and allowing such things as Android Pay to work alongside root.

The choice is ultimately left up to you...

2.)

I would use Magisk, but also see answer #1.

You can flash Xposed if you wish, after booting at least once.

That's entirely up to you.

I don't use it, I use Nougat. (no Xposed on Nougat yet/if ever, O is on the way)

3.)

http://bfy.tw/BGD9

If you're not sure about what to do there, just leave it default.

4.)

A little more to it then just that edit, to be done properly, but yeah, more or less...
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Exokan:
Thanks for all the info! Had no idea about the encryption stuff. I'll just settle for Magisk and Phh, then give Xposed a flash. O has got me nervous... I love all of the Youtube and location related modules on Xposed (but I don't wanna be stuck in an 'old' OS). I can only imagine that N and O are pretty similar because it seemed to be a pretty short development cycle.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] Stix-N-Stonz:
Man this is what I've been waiting for. I can confirm Android Pay works fine. Advanced Calling as well. And its smooth like butter. Thanks santod040!
