Hi,

I'm facing the same issue. My Samsung pay great app is configured to UAE. I can even see the offers for using Samsung pay in UAE. How do I change country to India?

I really suggest first to identify active CSC on Gear S3 AND Phone...

Few ways possible...

But you have to learn something... or you can wait 100000 years for Samsung support. :D ;)

This Firmware is OBSOLETE

You can kill your device... softbrick... without chance to repair.

SM-R765A have nowhere latest Firmware for repair...

Also NO Combination Firmware exists for SM-R765A

So it is tooo dangerous/risky to try something with SM-R765A.

For SM-R760 and SM-R770 enough working Firmware packages leaked...

Not for SM-R765 series...

Not for:

Samsung BLOCK/disabled such Codes in Retail Firmware.

This is why you need FIRST flash Combination Firmware BQC2...

Here you can smple insert such Codes... BUT you need CSC from Retail Firmware...

CSC from Combination Firmware is empty....

After you have successfully changed XSG to BTU...

Flash ALL 3 parts from BQC5

BQC5 is valid Firmware for BTU Sales Code...

BUT not mix BQH1 and BQC5 if you want FOTA...

Start simple with Factory/Combinatation Firmware BQC2...

If Combination Firmware successfully flashed... you will see yellow letters... it looks complete different as normal Firmware.

Hello

I was very happy to see xposed working on my device, but then found out that it killed my screencast (youtube casting still works, so I guess there must be a way to fix this..)

After I disable the xposed module (requires reboot) casting works great again (88.2 API24).

Is this a bug? Can it be fixed? Are anyone else having this issue?

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] neverone:
Just a quick questions for those who purchased non-pro Mate 10, L29 version: how much bloatware is there on the phone, how many unnecessary apps, and can it be all permanently uninstalled?

Also, are there doubled system apps (e.g. Chrome browser and some sort of Huawei's browser, or two email apps) that can't be uninstalled?

I'm thinking of buying it, and it would be my first Huawei phone so I don't know much about their policy on bloatware.

If it's not too much to ask, can somebody take a screenshot or make a list of all pre-installed apps that come with rhe phone?

Much appreciated!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] nomad4ever:
No bloatware and no doubled apps for me. Bought in Singapore. Unlocked, but from Singtel Promo.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
If it's anything like the Mate 9, then there isn't too much bloatware and very few doubled apps.

I believe the only doubled apps on the Mate 9 are the keyboard, photo app, and email. Gboard/SwiftKey, Huawei's Gallery/Google Photos, and Email/Gmail.

Almost all the bloat (Amazon, Twitter, etc) can be removed easily.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ken218:
I came from Android One, Nexus, etc, so I have different feeling. The phone comes pre-installed with Huawei's version of calculator, calendar, music player, activity tracker, email client, clock, weather app, etc, and they are installed on the system partition, so can't be removed. I prefer the google implementation over the huawei implementation, so I ended up with two copies of each. This really annoys me.

I installed Google play store on a fire 8HD kids edition according to this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/how-to-install-google-play-store-fire-t3486603/amp/

Everything worked great.

Now I created another adult account on the same tablet.

This means there is a parallel new android account (2) on the tablet which already has Google play installation in a different account (1)

Installing 1. Google Account Manager 5.1-1743759 &

2. Google Services Framework 5.1-1743759

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google

Worked fine in the second account, but:

3. Google Play Services 11.5.09 (240-164803921)

4. Google Play Store 8.3.41.U-all [0] [FP] 170066753

Stop with the error "app not installed". :confused:

The play store in the first account is working nicely.

Any hints how to get Google play store on both accounts?

I had the same problem and find out it was because after installing all the APKs on the main profile, by the time I went to install in to the secondary (or Kid) profile, the "Google Play Services" got updated to the latest version (even with auto-update off).

And apparently you cannot have two different GPS APKs on the same tablet even if in two different profiles, so I used "Apk Extractor Lite" to create the package (instead of going to APK Mirror or the likes... you I am an computer engineer therefore I am lazy) and install it on the secondary (or Kid) profile.

[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
Android 9.0 on Your MiPad2!

We all hate that Xiaomi didn't update their MiPad 2 to latest Android. Or at least Marshmallow.. but! Today I found a way to get Android 9.0 to boot on our devices :). As You know MiPad 2 uses x86_64 CPU which gives us HUGE possibilities. But it's not perfect. It's pretty buggy and booting most OS's is simply impossible. But today, I found a way to boot most likely any OS, INCLUDING ANDROID X86!

Guide:

1. Prepare: At least 8GB USB drive, USB Hub, Keyboard & Mouse, OTG Type C adapter. And make sure that You have at least 50% battery.

2. Download Rufus 2.18 or latest version.

3. Download Android x86_64 7.1 rc2.iso from android-x86.org UPDATE: Use this link for Pie! BlissOS 11.x Pie

4. Open Rufus and plug in Your USB drive.

5. Inside Rufus choose: Partition type GPT for UEFI.

Make sure that Quick Format is selected.

6. Change FreeDOS to ISO Image and choose Your ISO file.

7. Tap start.

8. Plug Your USB drive and keyboard & mouse into Your USB hub and then plug it into Your MiPad 2 through OTG adapter.

9. Turn off Your MiPad 2.

10. Quickly tap F2 button on Your keyboard multiple times and turn on Your MiPad 2.

11. Tap the F2 until You see bios.

12. Inside bios go to Device Management> Security/boot > Change GMIN to Windows and disable secure boot.

13. Tap F10 to save and then go to main BIOS menu and choose boot device.

14. Choose EFI USB drive.

15. When You see Android x86 GRUB menu tap "e" on Your keyboard and find androidboot.hardware=androidx86_64 edit it to make sure it looks like this androidboot.hardware=androidx86_64 nomodeset and then tap F10 to boot.

16. Wait for Android to boot. It will take around 5-15 minutes depending on Your USB drive speed.

17. Enjoy Your MiPad 2 running Latest Android! :D

Touch works. Yes! WiFi too.

Bugs:

Sound doesn't work in live mode(maybe after installing the Android it would fix the sound.)

Video playback is broken.

Brightness control is broken.

Probably other stuff too. But maybe installing it or trying Bliss OS or Remix OS would help :).

[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
Can confirm that Bliss OS with 4.9 kernel boots and works fine too.

Also tried Remix OS 3.0 and it works fine, as well as Ubuntu 17.10. Touch works in all OS's.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] Edwin184:
[MENTION=5203734]ProtoDeVNan0[/MENTION] Sounds very interesting but I have a few questions:

- what I understand is the MI PAD2 boots from USB and runs in Live mode. So does the USB need to be connected al the time?

- does it affect your current MI PAD2 ROM?

- same procedure every time you need to reboot?

- Can from live mode do an install on your tablet (confirmed to work)?

- how is the performance?

But thanks for sharing, sound prommissing :)
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
It runs from live mode but can be installed as main OS. But then You will lose Android/MIUI.

If You run any of these OS's in Live mode then Your current rom won't be affected.

Depends on what You have installed. Android x86 aftet reboot will boot back to Android x86. And If You reboot from Live mode, it will boot back into GRUB or if You remove Your USB drive it will boot back to MIUI.

Yes. It can be installed. Haven't tried that yet because I was testing all Linux Distros and Android x86 versions but it should work just fine. Just make sure to edit grub to boot every time with nomodeset.

Performance.. it's a bit slower than MIUI. But then again. I used Live mode + extremely slow usb hub which is really bad and installing anything with it takes hours. Even on a high end desktop. But since the general stuff works quite decently. I'd say that if You installed it on Your tablet, then it would run pretty smoothly. And You would get similar Antutu score to MIUI(+/- 5-7k).

Also I tried a lot of linux distros and all of them had touch working. Native resolution worked too.

I might later try different kernels and install Android x86 on my MiPad 2 as default OS to see how it runs.

Do you try to install bliss os or remix os ?
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] YeonsK:
Sounds Sweeeeet!

I am going to try it.

So I wondering now...

- If I try this with INSTALLING, not LIVE MODE, what happens to Recovery Mode and Fastboot Mode? Will they still exist? So that I can backup and restore with TWRP?

-Did you have any bugs with Remix OS 3.0? It would be cool if I can fully use it.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
I have tried installing Android x86 but messed up recovery and fastboot partitions really badly. But! Thanks to DNX Fastboot Mode I was able to

fastboot boot loader.efi

fastboot flash gpt gpt.bin

(And then flash all files inside images folder, including oemvars battery disabled or else Your battery will get stuck at 42%)

And my tablet was good again :).

Bugs on all OS's are pretty much identical. Like a week ago Bliss OS released Oreo update but it's alpha and it didn't boot on my MP2. And there are bugs like: no sound, rotation not working, brightness doesn't work, etc.

I think some of these could be fixed but these x86 Android OS's are stuck inside .sfs files and repacking them usually makes the rom not boot anymore.

And if You want to try to install Android x86 then I'd recommend to first install Win10 on Your tablet(so that partitions will be changed from Android ones to Windows ones) and then format "C partition/windows partition" and try to install Ax86 into that partition.

Not sure how installation looks like on RemixOS though. It might be easier or the same.

And if You won't remove/format Fastboot or TWRP partition then it should stay there. But installing Win10 will remove them. So You can try manually installing Ax86 and see how it works. Just don't delete partitions that are called: ANDROID_BOOTLOADER or ANDROID_RECOVERY. These most likely contain Fastboot and TWRP.

And if You delete any of these and Your tablet will be dead, then just remove USB cable from Your tablet, hold vol up, vol down, power until You see DNX Fastboot and follow my guide above. And don't worry. MiPad 2 seems to be unbrickable.

I wouldn't recommend installing any of these as they are extremely buggy. You should live boot them and play with them.

Edit: noticed that You said that You installed Ubuntu.

To install Ubuntu I'd recommend to install Win 10 first so that it can prepare all partitions and then just format Win10 partition and install Ubuntu on it.

You can find Win10 installation guide on MIUI forums.
