All you do to add Google Services to a OnePlus Chinese firmware phone is go to APK Pure or APK Mirror and install Play Store.

Install Google Play service on Chinese Android Phone (XiaoMi, HuaWei, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo) - TEK-Shanghai

Google service has been banned in China For a long time, so does the Google Play store for Android phones. But on the market, either you going to buy iPhone

tekshanghai.com

I did this myself on my 9 when I installed the Chinese firmware on it. As soon as I opened up the Play Store app, it prompted me to log in and configured Google Services.
[OnePlus 10T 5G] spunge9000:
Thanks I'll think I'll give it a try. Was just worried getting the phone and being stuck with just Chinese app stuff
[OnePlus 10T 5G] EtherealRemnant:
That's a reasonable concern for sure. Unless something has changed since the 9 series though, it really should be just this simple.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] drarkanex:
"Just flash a GSI and be done with it bro" comments will be ignored.

The BE2028 is the T-mobile variant of the Nord N10 5G and before I do any thing on this phone, I want to be sure of a few things.

I want to be able to get back to EDL mode should something go wrong and I want to be able to use a good boot.img and if there are any decent boot.img file(s) for this phone.

I realize that this isn't a very popular phone and I plan on compiling a few custom roms for this phone which i'm in the process now. But is anyone else working on the BE2028 variant of this phone? When I fan thru this forum, mostly what I see is the other variants and not much is spent on the BE2028 so that's where I'd like to help and if anyone else would like to help would be great and if you want we can stay in contact on Discord or telegram or whatever.

If anyone has any experience with this phone, please let me know.

Also, is there a good way to make clean backups of the partition tables, partitions and data as well as ny hard linked code if something goes squirrely like IMEI lost or whatever. I believe once I get a good custom rom built for this phone it can be a very nice budget phone.

I'd also like to remove the tmobile branding from the rom as well which is why I want to get a good feel for this. I've built custom roms for my Xiaomi and Samsung Note 2 but I feel this is going to require a bunch more work than just building a ROM out.

[Magisk] neelchauhan:
I am aware of another thread on XDA for a MagiskHide Props Config fork, but it seems the dev has ghosted us, so I guess I'll pick up the slack.

This is my fork of https://xdaforums.com/t/module-magiskhide-props-config-safetynet-prop-edits-and-more-v6-1-2.3789228/

This is on GitHub: https://github.com/neelchauhan/MagiskHidePropsConf

As of now, there are no releases.

To add a fingerprint:

First, you need an adb shell. Open one, then run the following commands and record the output. For example, on a Pixel 7 with the stock ROM:

panther:/ $ getprop ro.product.manufacturer
Google
panther:/ $ getprop ro.product.model
Pixel 7
panther:/ $ getprop ro.build.fingerprint
google/panther/panther:13/TD1A.220804.031/9071314:user/release-keys
panther:/ $ getprop ro.build.version.security_patch
2022-10-05
panther:/ $

Then, you can add it to the common/prints.sh file like this:

Google Pixel 7 (13):Google:Pixel 7=google/panther/panther:13/TD1A.220804.031/9071314:user/release-keys__2022-10-05

The general format is:

Brand Model (Version):{ro.product.manufacturer}:{ro.product.model}={ro.build.fingerprint}__{ro.build.version.security_patch}

For instance, I have already added a Pixel 7 fingerprint on my repo.

If there are multiple versions, the format is:

Brand Model (Version 1 & Version 2):{ro.product.manufacturer}:{ro.product.model}={ro.build.fingerprint}__{ro.build.version.security_patch};{ro.product.manufacturer}:{ro.product.model}={ro.build.fingerprint}__{ro.build.version.security_patch}

Notice the ; between the two fingerprints.

If you aren't GitHub-savvy, you could also open an issue on my repo.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] csdvrx:
Hello

While working on a Magisk module, for some reason I caused 2 adbd to be running. I've read the magisk documentation but it hasn't helped me much.

To understand what's happening and why, I'm now trying to analyze android boot: on linux, systemd-analyze etc can tell which services were started, in which order, and by what.

Is there a similar tool for android, or do I have to read init.rc and manually trace the tree of the import /somewhere/something.rc?

In case anyone is curious, my goal is to have a patched adbd offering root access with no kind of auth ( https://github.com/evdenis/adb_root/) along with a console, both running as early as possible during boot in case I mess up something while writing other modules, so that I can understand the problem and fix my mistakes "live", without having to reflash or to use fastboot or recovery.

I don't want to just made the default adbd run as root (which I already have working): I would like to have the unsecure adbd replaced by a normal adbd if the boot succeeds.

I've read https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/rootdir/init.rc but it hasn't helped me much.

Is there a description of the early-init, init, firmware_mounts_complete, late-init, early-fs, post-fs, late-fs, post-fs-data (etc) steps, which ones can be blocking and why?

Magisk suggest using services.sh as late-start is non blocking while post-fs-data mode can be blocking.

Ideally, for my module I would plan to:

- start the unsecure adbd as early as possible, maybe late-init or early-fs depending on the risk of things going wrong in the next steps, to be able to fix them

- make that unsecure adbd as robust as possible to avoid itself being the cause of boot problems (just forking a static binary with output redirected to /dev/null should have very little risk)

- let that adbd stay until the boot fully succeed and the UI has started

- then stop the unsecure adbd and replace it by a normal adbd (requiring auth and not having adb root)

Any help or pointer to documentation would be appreciated.

[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] jian1:
This is a very much asked request from a lot of Canadian users as in Canada CRTC forced to broadcast all alerts at presidential level thus without ADB, there is no way it can be disabled.

Since LG decided to name its alert APP completely different from others (most other brand named the package: com.google.android.cellbroadcastreceiver), the following is what you needed to uninstall the Emergency Alert APP on your LG phones:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.cmas

or

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.lge.cmas

Yes, LG renamed this package to be under lge and called it "cmas"...... a very stupid name that took me a while to find

-k means to preserve the configs while uninstall, without -k will remove the configs completely

This APP will stay uninstalled even with OS upgrades

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kautilya:
Did you buy a new phone or a used one? Just wondering since new phones come with WM6 & not WM5, I got a new one 4 months back. :)

And like knightnet said, have a look around thr forums, check out the wiki & you will see guides on installing a custom ROM. You can try it out but personally I'm not a fan of TouchFlo on the Artemis - it ain't got the processor or memory for that, TouchFlo is heavy. You can also find the new TouchFlo versions around in the forum, the kinds which come with Diamond & later phones with those smooth sliding. That TouchFlo is pretty slick & I like it a lot & had it on my Artemis for a week but then removed it as the phone has become too slow to bear it. :)

so i want to know if i can backup the original rom before doing an upgrade, or is there a place to download them??

ROM version 1.12.415.1 WWE

Radio version 2.67.90 (which is old compared to the ones available here)

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] knightnet:
There are some standard ROMs available I think, I remember seeing some when I was looking to change mine (it's been a while I'm afraid so I'm a bit hazy). But you can and should back-up your own.

It isn't easy being a "noob" in phone upgrading - I remember what it was like & I wasn't being nasty to you (honest!) but the instructions on the wiki are clear after you have followed them carefully. If you've backed up your existing ROM and taken out any additional memory cards (oh, and charged up the phone before starting - just in case), there is really no danger of "bricking" your phone.

Don't forget to back up any information on the phone as well. I use the excellent PIM Backup for that as I can shedule it to do a daily backup of all of the PIM (Calendar, contacts, tasks, notes) data and any other data I want (I back up the internal memory "My Documents" folder) to the memory card in the phone and then regularly copy that to my PC (and from their back up to a server on a different continent - though I am a bit paranoid about my data!).

So go for it :D
