[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Potz91:
Hi guys,

Having problems installing openGapps on my Redmi 4(prada) running the xiaomi.eu 8.1.2 ROM. It installs and boots no problem, however it then tries to initialise system setup wizard which just keeps crashing making my ROM unusable. Is there a way to bypass the setup wizard?

I've tried multiple approaches from a clean ROM install with Gapps to installing the ROM and going through the setup process and then flashing Gapps.

Also tried using the official MIUI CN stable ROM with same results.

Any help much appreciated

Cheers:D

PS can't post this in the official Redmi 4 area as don't have the requisite post count, please move if necessary :D

Installation Instructions

ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!

Coming from another rom/clean install:

Reboot to recovery

Wipe system, cache, dalvik/art cache, data

Flash rom zip and gapps

Reboot

Updating from a previous build/dirty flash:

Wipe system, cache, dalvik/art cache in recovery

Flash rom zip, gapps and any other zips you may use

Reboot

Never dirty flash from one rom to another

If you want root access, SuperSU will need to be flashed, v2.79 works for me. After flashing, your device may boot twice before boot animation, don't worry it'll be fine after that.

Substratum support is there as long as you have root and latest Substratum app. Some themes may have a little catching up to do, have fun testing them!

If you have any issues, grab a log after a clean flash, upload and link here please. Add steps to reproduce the issue in your post.

Do not report issues dirty flashing this over some unofficial build or with some kernel flashed.

Logcat Extreme app is great as you can choose to start recording a log just before reproducing an error and stop recording just after so you log just the part you need.

Xposed is not supported here, if you want to run it and have issues, try an Xposed thread for support and bug reports here only welcome with a clean install with no Xposed present.

Make sure to state which rom you are running when asking for support

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kartnite:
Try reaching out to Support (from within the phone)? They should offer some help.

Or, see if there's any service test menu available for the pixel? (Google search not helpful, I'm afraid).
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ykdr-scott:
Spoke to support they said they was going to send out replacement details in post etc, Followed to tell them my screen had a slight crack in ( Just glass ) which apparently voids all warranty ?

Oh fudge... And I suppose there's no insurance to fall back on.

This is annoying.

Is there any sensors on the front of the screen that could be affecting the cameras function at all? I can replace the screen but it's no good if my camera won't work.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] exad:
Have you asked google if they will honor the warranty if you have the screen replaced? They were willing to do that for me when I came across my microphone issue, so that may be an option for you.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ykdr-scott:
Maybe I can ask them,But doesn't it voids warranty if the screen is replaced by my self?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] exad:
Yes likely it would, paying to replace it and have a fully working phone would be better than replacing your screen yourself and still having issues no?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] phermey:
I was going to say spend fifteen bucks and grab a camera from ebay, would be a cheap and easy possible fix, but I can only find one camera online and they want $90 for it. pfft. My next suggestion would be to take it apart and disconnect/reconnect the camera(s). Last Resort of course, but it sounds like you might be there already. You can nuke a ziplock bag of water to soften the glue tape around the screen. And get a micro torx set from whatever your walmart equivalent is (you will want at least two torx t5 bits) Teardown vids all over youtube.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ykdr-scott:
Thanks for the reply, Can't take my screen out as it would literally fall apart from the top right now. Just don't see how this could effect the rear camera when the front one is inside the screen damage area, And front cam also works on third party apps just not the rear one.

Was going to unlock the bootloader and reflash the ROM but as it's on 7.1.2 it's impossible right now so it's just a matter of replacing the screen then cleaning/ reconnecting the camera

b. put a bullet in my head

i had some seriously important crap in there, and help would be vastly appreciated, thanks in advance.

AFAIK, the encryption is tied to a specific hw/sw combo...resetting will not cause the unique IDs to be recreated....the keys are randomly seeded. But I may be wrong..

Hi guys,

I was using Custom ROM for a while and now have settled back to Note 4 stock ROM as I am trying to figure out what can I do to make the stock ROM better without any root or custom recovery.

So, so far I've updated my gallery app, my files app, smart select.

I've also installed edge panel but it isn't working. So trying to make it work.

If anyone knows what updates can be done on note 4 without root . please do let me know as well.

Thanks,
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] nommermon:
Hi all, I just ordered my Mi Mix and had a couple of questions regarding locking and relocking the bootloader:

I usually like to root my phones just because it gives me some finer levels of control (such as f.lux, titanium backup, adaway, etc), so I have been considering unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP as per instructions in the forums here. I have read however that it is possible to relock the bootloader and in essence restore the phone to a "unmodified" state. Does anyone know if it is possible to remove root, flash the original recovery and then relock the bootloader in case I ever wanted to go back to stock MIUI?

Sorry if this is a duplicate - I did a quick search and did not notice the question asked. Appreciate any tips and advice!

Hi everyone,

Did anyone else Pre order on the upgrade program? Also random question but if anyone has been on the program before do you know if you receive any letters?

I did ask and they said it's paperless but just wanted to confirm!

Looking forward to Thursday now!

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Lagamorph:
I've pre-ordered on the Upgrade programme. I haven't received any letters or anything yet, though the finance agreement stuff definitely said that they would send me something and that my 14 day cancellation period would begin the day I received my paperwork. Never even thought to ask about it though to be honest.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] tallman43:
I am also on the Upgrade programme all transactions have been by email no paperwork through the post. Hoping to hear something on Wednesday about dispatching details (UK) :)

im on it as well, and yes the paperwork is all electronic
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RMXO:
Wished they had one for the US since I rather give them my money than the carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Guitarfreak26:
Yeah I was gonna buy outright but then decided not much point. Shame it doesn't come with free insurance though like the apple one
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Lagamorph:
Yeah the upgrade program only works out about £70 more expensive over the course of the full 2 years than just buying outright. The difference is you get a new phone every 1 year.

I guess the downside is having to give the old phone back rather than having it to sell or keep as a backup.

Insurance wise I did get an option when ordering to take out 12 months of Samsung Lite insurance for £99, but it seemed to exclude almost everything like loss/theft that you actually buy these insurances for. I'll probably take out third party insurance for it or something.

Evening all,

As I'll soon be back on android I've been looking at apps for things like twitter and such. But also trying to see what other useful apps I could will need. I use all iPhone native apps at the moment mainly because I've never really liked the iOS and didn't want to get attached to any apps. The only two external apps I use is Tapatalk and waze.

What are the apps you all use on a regular basis and any that I should avoid?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] potatomanwrl:
Allo for messaging is really nice, Duo for video calls, Chrome for your browser, and Swype or Gboard for the keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] aalxx:
Basically avoid anything made by Cheetah Mobile.

Launcher - Nova Launcher

Browser - Samsung Internet Beta

Music - Shuttle Music Player (good looking, has any feature you could want)

Podcast app - Pocketcasts

As for chat apps, they can basically all do voice and video calling, ask your friends what they use and use it.

You'll run into more apps as you get into the world of custom roms and rooting. Xposed still isn't available for nougat.

What's Wrong with Clean Master?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] aalxx:
I don't know, all my music is downloaded, you could try to download that music on your Mac and then use a USB cable to put it in your phone.

Edit: found something that might help you. This article (http://www.consumerreports.org/smartphones/how-to-play-itunes-music-on-an-android-smartphone/) shows how you can upload music from your iTunes library to your google play music library. I'm assuming you can download these songs somehow from one of the services.

Useless because LMK (low memory killer) exists. Contrary to popular belief android is pretty good at managing ram and "boosting" is unnecessary. Also cleaning junk is easy to do on your own. Basically it's an app which offers little additional functionality and uses misconceptions to make you think you need it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FluxionFluff:
Here's a couple of apps that I use relatively often, if not daily:

Texting (SMS/MMS): Textra

- Has been my texting app of choice at least the last 2 years. It's clean and simple and is everything I like in a texting app. And, if you're a fan of all things Dark Mode, they have it too. :P

- Chomp SMS is Textra's sibling app (same developer) and as all of the features that Textra has, plus theming.

Podcasts: Stitcher

Streaming music: Spotify

Keyboard: Swiftkey

- There's a bunch of keyboards out there, but this one's my personal favorite.

Mobile Payments: Samsung Pay

- I've never used Android Pay, but it's basically the same thing as Apple Pay, as both use NFC. I prefer Samsung Pay over both of those for the reason that you can use them at the older MST (magnetic strip terminals), where NFC won't work. If you've used Apple Pay and liked it, give Samsung Pay a shot. Most of the time, Samsung Pay works at places with the MST, in my personal experience.

Send Payment to friends/family: Venmo

- Simple and secure way to send money to friends/family. Useful so you can pay people back quickly, like if they paid for something for you and you have to pay them back.

Sending texts from your Tablet/PC: MightyText

- Similar concept of being able to send iMessages from your iPad or MacBook. As long as your phone's working, you shouldn't have issues sending messages. I've had times where I texted people using this app (there's also a Chrome extension too) and my phone wasn't on me... XD The free version only allows you to send 200 messages/month (I believe, correct me otherwise). Pro is a monthly subscription, but can send unlimited messages.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kartman_canada:
Just got my S8... I've been using Textra for 2+ years and I was going to make it my default SMS app on S8. I have a Gear S3 watch too and when I went to swap the default, phone warned of 'missing functions' if I didn't stick with Samsung Messages app.

Any thoughts here? I'm inclined to ignore! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] faaaaq:
Could be a few things. Sammy's stock messenger works like the Apple texting app, in that you get in-line read/receive notices and "other person is typing" icon things if you are both using the Sammy app. Most other features Textra can probably do just fine, Im betting if you installed a 1:1 clone of the Sammy app but with a different app sig and title, youd get the same warning.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RTBee:
Gentle Alarm app is a great clock/alarm. I've had it on all phones since my Samsung Captivate.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] faaaaq:
Waze is a good choice to stick to, over Google Maps. I love Google Maps, but Waze is FAR better on your battery for some reason. On my Note 5, with the screen on, fairly bright, and Google Maps navigating me somewhere, even plugged in the battery drains. But with Waze, it not only doesnt drain but charges properly, even if I also run music from the phone over bluetooth. Google owns both, but they give different directions sometimes, which is odd...but not a huge deal.

Google Play Music i think is a good suggestion, you can grab a 4 month free trial (which also includes Youtube Red) to test it out. Ive been using it over Spotify and IHeartRadio for a while.

Battery Widget Reborn is the best battery status monitor.

Dark Sky is the best (IMHO) weather app.

ES File Explorer is obviously a decent recommendation.

PowerAmp for playing music files stored locally.

QuickPic for viewing photos (unless you use the free Google cloud storage for photos).

Textra, of course.

There are others I cant think of now.

EDIT to add another thumbs up for Swiftkey, with a caveat. For me on my last three devices (Note 5, Xperia Z Ultra, Nexus 5) Swiftkey lags HARD on the Hangouts app and a few other apps. It was pure chance I got the issue across three phones, but it is a "common" issue with no real fix and has been around a while. If you do experience that issue with Swiftkey, my next keyboard recommendation would be Minuum. I dont use its teenie tiny mode that its famous/infamous for, I use it in the "full" keyboard layout and it is at least as good as Swiftkey.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ronx162:
Been using Textra for a while now. Tempted to use the S8 default messaging app for a while to see how it feels and what it offers so I'll be able to fairly compare it to Textra.

Agree with the following recommendations others have mentioned:

QuickPic for photo albums

Google Play (free) and Pandora for streaming

Waze for navigation (I live in the DC area and real-time traffic conditions can easily make a difference of 45-60 minutes in my commute)

Any task killer app is counter productive... I've written many posts about this topic in the past explaining why. It basically creates a bunch of work for the operating system with no benefit.

However, using the built-in running apps button and closing some apps you're not using can help because of the way some apps don't play nicely in the background.

Skype for video calls

SwiftKey for keyboard. I've been a long time Swype user (and alpha tester), but Nuance hasn't done much with it since they bought it, and it's losing traction

Nova for launcher

Chrome browser

Hangouts for chat

MightyText -- mixed results with this one. Really liked it for a while, but it took a significant toll on my battery, so I didn't always keep it installed. When I tried it again recently, it was much less reliable than I remembered. I had some duplicate messages and many missed messages that I never received in my browser, and many I sent from the browser that never made it to my recipients. Reliability is fundamental in texting, so I'll avoid this one most likely.
