hi i just received my nubia x and followed your gapps tutorial everything went as normal but when i tried to download apps it wouldn't download so i cleared the data for services and playstore then the download manager. but when i cleared the data for the download manager i accidentally uninstalled it so i was wondering how i can reflash the stock rom so i can start again. Also my device does still boot and functions normally

thanks for your help
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
Guys,

The best way for you is flash the newest stock rom and start again.

You can download stock rom ver. 2.24 from here:

http://ui.nubia.cn/rom/detail/58

Then you can flash it from phone recovery mode and OTG connected via USB (put downloaded firmware into USB drive and connect it to the phone then use correct option from recovery to do the upgrade).

IMPORTANT: If you have obtained the root privilege, you must remove the root and restore the normal version status, and restore the factory settings before upgrading. Otherwise, the upgrade may fail.

If you are upgraded to v. 2.24 you can do the root procedure again (according to Teeemoo manual) using the newest version of Chinese patcher (don't use any other previous versions!).

The version for ROM v. 2.24 I uploaded here: https://mega.nz/#!7kQDQSia!VVLE4LUSvOBxAF-HWSKaHtVjk0kQpqbHXfbLMWKROi0

Change the file extension from PDF to EXE.

Please be aware the file sometimes is recognized as infected by Win32/Spursint.F!cl (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi...tid=2147717281).

You can use it on your risk, I just disabled antivirus and Windows Defender to use it properly).

Goo luck.

I have already update to v2.24 via push (220mb) 3 days ago.

But it doesn't worth to update to v2.24 because the scrolling seems very slower and apparently nothing else changed.

And as for all versione I still have force close on some apps eventhough I have update all Google play services and apps.

I really looking forward for a custom rom because is not possibile to use the phone with all that app force closing.

Hi! I hired a company to root my phone because I didn't feel comfortable doing it myself. Was successfully rooted but they still can't figure out how to get the apps open, they have been using a Google installer that downloads the apps and apk's but the app won't open, has a blank white screen. Please help?

GApps on the Nubia X

Hello after rooting his phone someone has encountered a problem with his GPS?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
I had, that was really slow and apps can't refer location information but I had fixed.

I switched GPS mode from high accuracy to only GPS and return it again, then it was fixed.

before that, I cleared and updated AGPS on "GPS test" app, but I don't know whether it was effective or not.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
Have you converted all google apps to system app?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubia2452:
have they made the google apps system apps. if so they may have to reinstall gapps as that's what i had to do
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
My google contact sync hadn't work, but I fixed.

Google apps, installed by myself, lack some permissions.

I downloaded "Permissions manager" and added some permissions for google apps (Same as my Oneplus3... obviously google play services, google flame work and so on lacked many of permissions) then google contact started to sync.

I also had

- Unstable GPS location issue

- Sudden shut down of apps

But it also seems to be stable now.

I need some more time to conclude that.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubia2452:
I think I and most people are having the same issues. Are you having problems with notifications on apps like Snapchat as as soon as the app is closed you no longer have notifications.

Has anyone installed xposed also does anyone have a working g cam apk
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
I noticed I had the same issue of notifications but it seems to be solved.

Please add the app you want to receive notification to setting -> permissions manager -> Power-on speedup.(Also you need to chage notifications setting for each app.) and reboot device.

Before that I couldn't get any notifications on LINE messenger app and twitter after I killed apps manually, but now I can.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

Sorry, this is wrong.

I can't keep that state so long, maybe only5 minutes.

I really want a global ROM or TWRP now...
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] rodpgfx:
KonKoro, could you be a little more specific? I installed an app "permission manager" that asks for root, but it doesn't show "contacts" in the app list. Did you install google's "contacts" app or are you using the contacts in the phone? Also, which permissions did you grant? I only see 3 at the end of the list that are google, but 2 of them automatically turns off again after closing the app.....

---------- Post added at 06:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 AM ----------

Sorry, I should've quoted this message.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
At first you have to download google official contacts app.

Once contacts and calendar are synced in their official apps, you can see it in setting-> other account -> your google account and access it in third party apps.

I don't know which permission is effective because I was mainly struggling with google map location issue and allowed many of permissions at the same time.

But you should check permissions of

-Contacts

-Google contact sync

-Google service framework

-Google play service

-Google account manager

I think probably one of them didn't have access to contact...but now I'm not sure.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] rodpgfx:
I turn on the permissions but once I back out of it and go back in, they turn off again.....
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubia2452:
Not all permissions can be enabled so it will automatically disable then again

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

The ones that can be enabled will remain enabled
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubia2452:
That works for most apps but for snap chat it doesn't as Snapchat randomly force closes when you leave the app
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FatTrousers:
Out of curiosity how are you getting Snapchat to work on root? I haven't rooted a device in years, I've read about the bluestacks method but read that it doesn't work anymore?

Anyway, I'm also working on getting notifications to work properly, I spent some time getting Facebook Messenger notifications to work, that about all that matters so far..

Edit: Would it be possible to assign permissions to google play services before converting to system app first? Do permissions show before it's a system app?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
To solve notification and unstable apps issues, I'm looking into system and I found Nubia's process-freezer in boot sequence. I'd like to kill them.

init.rc

--

# nubia add for process-freeze

mkdir /dev/freezer

mount cgroup none /dev/freezer freezer

chown system system /dev/freezer

chown system system /dev/freezer/tasks

chmod 0666 /dev/freezer/tasks

mkdir /dev/freezer/bg

chown system system /dev/freezer/bg/tasks

chmod 0666 /dev/freezer/bg/tasks

write /dev/freezer/bg/freezer.state FROZEN

# nubia add end

--

init.rom.rc

--

#Nubia add for freezer

service freezerd /system/bin/freezerd

class main

user root

group root

start freezerd

#Nubia add end

--

Does someone have an experience to modify boot.img, repack it and flash? Is it possible to flash changed ROM?

I haven't tried this so I'd like to know before trying.

Or I'd like to kill this service if possible.

Snapchat just works with root for me
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Crosseder:
I face the issue that Gapps like Google Maps, Google Drive, ... are working properly in Wifi, but not in mobile network. The apps complain about missing network connection even though I have allowed the usage of mobile network and other apps e.g. Whatsapp are working fine. I've installed ROM v2.20 and followed the tutorial earlier in this thread (Google playstore is working fine also within mobile network). Die someone face similar issues?

Thanks!
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
Maybe it needs to add additional permission to Google apps via permission manager (the permission for wi-fi connection is separate than mobile connection)? It was discussed few posts above.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FatTrousers:
I have an issue, my own fault, but I need help, long story short I was granting permissions to google play services (with a 3rd party app called "Disable Application") and must have selected a slider by mistake, google play store would not download apps anymore, or show my library, I decided (stupidly) to try uninstall google play store and play services from Link2SD and re-install, but now my /System storage (in storage info-Link2SD) is showing as full and I cannot repeat the process of assigning google apps as system apps, is there a way to reset /system or gain back the lost space? Any help would be appreciated, I had everything working then screwed myself over..
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
Just try to do reset to factory default from the Android menu and then do the whole procedure of gapps from the very beginning.

Or use the system recovery to do the wipe and then start from the beginning.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FatTrousers:
Hi,

I have tried exactly this, more than 5 times now, the problem is Factory reset doesn't seem to help, its like Link2SD has taken up the storage now I can't get it back, any time I try to convert to system app a warning pops up saying not enough storage, i tried to assign snapchat as a system app a few days ago and it failed, but also took up the remaining /system storage I had. Meaning, if I had 5mb of storage, and converting to system failed, I still lost 5mb of space.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
You can remove system/priv-app/(appname).t folder.

If you fail converting app to system, it remain in there as tmp folders and files and it spend storage area.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FatTrousers:
Thank you so much, I will give this a try asap,

Thanks again

EDIT:

Your suggestion didn't yield any results but I did find the folder full of 3rd party apps that are installed on a fresh install and deleted quite a few of those, giving me 500mb to play with, solved my problem and now I'm back up and running as I was 3 days ago. Thanks!
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Yesc:
Thank you! That was my issue. Now another question. When using streaming apps, YouTube or podcasts republic after 5 mins or so they close and I have to reopen them. I checked the battery saver settings and disables task killing those apps but still keep doing it? Any advice.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubia2452:
If you have still lost space you could flash the stock rom though the settings as that's what I had to do when I uninstalled a needed system app. All you need to do is download the stock from and flash though settings. You will Loose all of your data though.

[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubia2452:
I had the same issue but I fixed it by reinstalling gapps though teemoos tutorial and signing in to Google play with mobile data and not WiFi. all seems to be fixed now but only did it a day a go so still need to see but all good so far.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

Btw do you have a issus with YouTube signing in on data cos if so you have the same issue I had
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
I tried to sign YouTube few times on different phones (not only Nubia) and the result is that YouTube is force closing then. Even if you convert this app into the system app. So I think there is some signature check by Google.

[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubia2452:
Try reinstalling YouTube cause you have to sometimes if YouTube was installed before gapps
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
I tried all variants: deinstalling/reinstalling plus making the youtube app as a system one or leaving it as a user app and all results were the same. If I changed any permission (even less important like vibrations perm) or just only to sign the apk then YouTube were force closing after any changes like this.

As I said it looks like the Google verifing the signature.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Nubia2452:
Which other apps crash for you? Have you made Google play services system app?

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

There is another way to install gapps apart from teemoo's tutorial if you need help. If it's a Google service issue

As YouTube works for me on my nubia x
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
Yes. All Google apps are installed as a system apps.

The problem is only for YouTube if it is touched by changing permissions or signatures. So, I left YouTube unmodified and it works with no problem at all. That is not an issue for me. I wrote this for other people to share results of my investigations :)

Regards.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
I deleted /system/bin/freezerd and now I can keep background process arive during sleep.

I confirmed I kept google play services more than 2 hours (probably permanent. previously around 10 minutes) and I got notification after an hour sleep without charging!!

I'm expecting this have also solved apps crash problem.

Before doing that I had never kept LINE messanger's call more than 10 minutes but now I confirmed it can continue 40 minutes.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] FatTrousers:
I have fully recovered from my previous issue, and now my phone works better than it did before, I'm now receiving notifications on both data and wifi, Snapchat now works for me with only the random close issue preventing it from running 100%, even notifications work, but it doesn't close often. Youtube works for me but it did before anyway, it just suffers the same issue as snapchat, it'll force close maybe once every 30 minutes. I installed Nova Launcher Prime and got OK Google working from the home screen, Google MAPS works with pin point accuracy thanks to a few permissions I changed in Google Play Services using app "Disable Application" from the Play Store. I think most of my issues were due to google play services not having the correct permissions, as soon as I assigned what it asked for, everything worked. Nova launcher prime gave me access to some system menu's that would otherwise not be accessible, I'm not entirely sure how I've managed it for me to be able to write any kind of guide, but I now have zero issues with my Nubia, everything now just works. :)
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
I'm sorry about that, only this is not enough.

You have to do both of below.

-Delete /system/bin/freezerd

-Disable Neosafe service

I disabled all Neosafe service by Service disabler.

I hadn't noticed this is also necessary because I tried this before and only this is not effective so I thought it's no mean.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Teeemoo:
Thanks for this, I'll put it into an post if I'd be okay?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
Off course yes, but I'm still investigating.

I want to know the specifc service need to be disabled in Neosafe, it has 34 services and if all of services are killed, pattern lock doesn't work.

Now I'm trying to disable Neosafe services in order but it takes a time...
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] konkoro:
I investigated, and updated solution is

-Delete /system/bin/freezerd

-Disable Neosafe -> PowerBootStartService

That should be minimum solution, but can someone try this?

I haven't been confident that can solve in any environment and it doesn't cause any other issue yet.

Hi [MENTION=9589523]Teeemoo[/MENTION], are you the developer for TWRP for NubiaX?

Today I've flashed my NubiaX following steps of (1) flash root by adb, (2) flash TWRP by adb, (3) flash GApps by TWRP. It works well.

I think the current solution is stable and easy enough, not sure why the TWRP is still not publicly released. Is that because you don't have time for writing Tutorial, or because you think the TWRP not ready yet?

If it's the time issue, I can help write the tutorial with your authorization (because you and PinkGlass are the author of root tool & TWRP for NubiaX)
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
It would be awesome if you can do this agreement and publicize root/TWRP procedure. Many users are waiting for it.

Thanks in advance!
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Teeemoo:
Its not a time problem.

The problem is, that the Nubia refuses to load a custom recovery.

So we need to get around verity2.0 in order to boot it up.

Additionally, the phone has dual slot partitions - and a self-locking bootloader.

AAaand another point, the phone does not accept fastboot boot recovery.img commands.

I will try build a new TWRP Image today but I cant promise.

I had a similar problem in the past.

I solved it in the following way.

After proceeding to HOW-TO STEP5.

Open setting -> App info

Turn on all permissions of the following apps:: "Google Service Framework", "Google Play Store", "Google Play Service", "Google Contacts Sync", "Google Calendar Sync" and "Google Account Manager".

Proceed to HOW-TO STEP6.

If the reset is troublesome.

Convert playstore to userapp.

Convert it to [systemapps] after turning on permissions.

<However, the above method may not work.>

Hi guys I have a problem with using my Pocophone F1 to play music from my bluetooth speaker. When i connect it there is no sound coming out of either the phone or the speaker.

I kinda don't want to change to a custom rom like lineageOS because I am worried that there are a lot of bugs on these kinds of software (but to be honest MIUI has its own fair share of bugs)

How are your experiences with custom roms?
