[Q] Playstore on Chinese One V

Hi there, I’ve got the Chinese version of the One V and like most Chinese phones these days, Google account functionality has been removed.
I have rooted my phone and most of the Google apps that did not work before do work now (g-mail, Google maps ect.) Unfortunately the plays store is still inoperable. I can install now but it crashes shortly after launch. If anyone has experience with using playstore on a Chinese phone I would love to know what i need to be doing right.
Otherwise I am guessing I could use a rom from another region. my only worry is that it may not be compatible as there is some hardware variation, the Chinese version have an extra button on the front for quick access to weibo(Chinese twitter) I don’t know if that’s the only difference but it’s the only one I can see.
Any way if you have some advice on how I should proceed I would very much appreciate it.

what rom are you running in your phone?

I think he's running stock rom. But like he said the phone may have different hardware than our One V's
So we would need a list of the specs so we can compare them to ours if the hardware is the same u can just use our roms, but if it isn't than our roms will brick your phone.

Yes, it is the stock rom. I do beleve the specs on the phone are the same, i recall checking it out before i ordered it from Amazon, but i will dubble check to be sure.
Thanks

It’s a bit tough to find the information but as far as i can tell the hardware is the same. There doesn’t really seem to be a distention model number wise and the only way i can tell witch version a given site is talking about is based on the picture where i can see the extra button. So assuming the hardware is the same in all other respects does it matter which rom I install?

In that case it shouldn't. The extra button wont work than but apart from that it should work.

Delayed Lock

I've been using this app for over a year now and haven't experienced any issues. Recently the developer updated the app and I think I might be running into some BIG issues and wondering if anyone else is either running it just fine or having some of the same issues as I.
Currently I'm using Ditto note 3 ROM, once I install the delayed lock app and reboot I am no longer able to receive any type of data signal and I'm unable to send or receive any MMS. Once I uninstall the app I'm back up again.
I've also done some testing on Mean Rom and got the same results, if I install the app, I can't MMS.. removing it I am allowed to again.
I wonder if it's the 4.3 roms that are having the issues or if its the new version of the app that is having the issue. OR COULD IT REALLY BE MY PHONE? somehow I doubt its my phone since uninstalling the app gives me all the ability of my phone again.
The developer hasn't replied to my support ticket yet.. who knows if he will.. figured I'd reach out to the xda community and see what kind of feed back I can get.
Thanks in advance!

The app developer clearly states in his description that this device may not work properly...and also states that android 4.3 will not work with his software...
It sounds like the time to search an alternative method to delay your lock...
Have you searched the xposed module archives for a compatible method ???
It's highly likely that xposed will have a modification capable of this ...
I'll search as well...and post here if I find a solid solution...g

[Q] need ROM compatible w/S Note (searched)

First off, I have been searching for about 3 weeks trying to find a ROM that will retain s note. I have tried several other apps and have not found one that works as efficiently, and to my liking like s no doeROMsI have tried flashing several different ROMs and still have not found one that is no work on.
currently I am running a liquidsmooth version 3.2. Main reason why I crashed my phone is for battery life. After the NK2 update my battery life went to crap. I don't make too many posts on here at all, I spend most of my time reading and searching.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
P.S. I guess this needs moved. Thanks in advance for moving.

All Touchwiz ROMs (based on stock) are compatible with S Note (a Touchwiz app). Sounds like you have been running through AOSP based ROMs.

About all I can find has been aosp or CM. I tried the Roger Wilco ROM but could not get it to boot. I will keep searching.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Free mobile app

I am having a similar frustration. I'm looking for a ROM(s) with S Note for a Note 2, though I got the R Wilco ROM to work. I used this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...lco12s-stock-ne2-v1-0-8-24-14-t2857216/page73
However, it still updates with Samsung, all the Google apps are there, and Gallery wants to sync with Google. WiFI and GPS worked out of the box. It's been really stable. Even Firefox hasn't been crashing!
I don't get why people want to have a Note and don't want to use the pen. I haven't found any other apps that work with the pen. Though, to be honest, finding Android apps is ridiculously difficult: there's no reliable way on the Play market.
So, what I'm looking for is a 4.4.x KitKat ROM with S Note (and therefore presumably Touch Whiz) that's stable, WiFi works out of the box, GPS works out of the box, and has limited Google apps (ie just YouTube, Gmail, Maps/Nav, and Google Play). In a perfect world, those Google Apps would be an add-on set. I got that idea from another ROM actually. I don't want it to auto-update and attempt to kill itself.

op5T - ant+ is it working properly

Hi, I am new here. Please bear with me
My present device (Samsung j5 / 2017 model) was damaged and now want to buy a better device - looking at OP5T.
Want to know if this OP5T really supports ANT+ without any hasle? I am reading on the forums - many users experiencing issus such as - a) going into flight mode for using ANT+ b) factory reset c) downloading a set of apps to make it work with ANT+ etc. I am not good at tech things, just a simple user of phone. Can't go around showrooms or find solutions/ experimenting to make it work
A physical trainer by profession, so need this feature badly. Samsung J5 worked like a charm, even from the inception, never had any trouble. I never had to reset that handset; it got crushed accidently when I dropped one of the heavy dumbels. So, now have to buy a new one.
Please advice if OP5T works out of the box, without any hasle?
Thanks for your time in advnce ; Regards

anyone here is able to answer this???

Hi,
I'm using OP 5T with rooted stock OOS 5.1.1 and ANT+ works like a charm for me using IpSensorMan. You have to install the ANT+ Radio Service and, for some apps, the ANT+ Plugins Service from Play Store to make it work. I haven't had any issues, but haven't used it very much either

Hi LasseHoej,
thanks for your positive response. however, I am not really tech guy. How to install this root stocked OS? and how to install IpSensorMen? I know how to install from google playstore. Is it possible to put up a youtube video how to do this? That will be a big help, i know it will be burden on you, but really looking forward to it.
Thanks in advance

Hi again,
You don't need a rooted OS, it should work just fine as your phone is now. IpSensorMan is an app using ANT+. So it's actually just the ANT+ Radio Service and, for some apps, the ANT+ Plugins Service, you need to install from Play Store.

Recommended ROM?

I only use my smartphone for OTPs... Authy, the Steam app etc and hopefully my bank account app. The thing is, the bank account app only works on Android 6+.
Given all that I want is Android 6 or above please can someone recommend a ROM. Something that works well...GPS and WiFi included. The phone doesn't have a SIM card and I'm thinking about using it to track my running.
Thanks for any help. I've barely used a smartphone since the s4 mini came out so I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all!

I don't use banking apps and GPS only rarely. Last time battery drain because of using GPS. Well, maybe because of Sunlight...
LineageOS 17 works well. Use the right version. Banking app with Magisk Root should be possible, but I don't know how.
A new cheap phone with original ROM and better GPS may be better for you.

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry it's taken so long to respond... accidentally wiped my password manager file, lost my login details and forgot which email I registered with! Nightmare!
I'll give LineageOS 17 a whirl.
I'm sorry to ask a question that has been asked a million times!
Is there a straight forward set of instructions available to help me flash my phone? I would like to make a backup of the current (factory) ROM and then flash it with a LineageOS 17 ROM that hasn't been tampered with. No offence intended to people that mod released ROMs, I'd like something that has come from the initial developers.
Thank you!
EDIT: Yes, I have considered buying a new phone. I love the size of the Galaxy S4 mini and have seen that Sony (I think!) has released more recent phones of similar size. I may well buy a replacement if I can't get LineageOS to do what I need. Thanks
I should add that I prefer to use Linux (OpenSuse)... if Windows is necessary it's WIndows 10.
