Many thanks!
I was able to install it on Nexus 5, but not able to log in into my profile to get "My Places" (which is the main thing I'm missing in Maps v7).
When I go to Settings > Sign in, a "Login failed" bubble appears, and in the notification tray "Sign-in Request" message, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I have two Google accounts on this phone, if this makes any difference.

You - almost - saved my day!

Same here!
The app installed properly and I was already jubilating. But then Login failed as OldSavage explains. Login via settings leads to same result.
Any idea why or a workaround? By the way, I only have one Google account on the phone. That shoulnd't be the reason for the issue.
For me too, beeing able to access "My Places" is the main reason why GM7 is useless to me (strange enough, tha they dumped such a basic feature)

in your 6.5.0 version you see Pre-cache map area in Labs!
in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47498169&postcount=36
And no, i tested your version, it can't log in too

SORRY.... I feel this morning like a stupid noob
Of course is your version right. I installed after downloading my own old and wrong maps version
And... You all are right.
I installed the 6.5.0 few months ago and everything works fine. Login and my locations also work after confirm the things in the notification bar.
But I didn't see, that now the maps are not logged in. No my locations, and no search function.
Maybe the new firmware updates are the problem. Before I updated my note 3, it works perfectly.

I was thinking to get rid of my i9500 due to sucking maps app after 4.3 update, but I installed this app. Intially it created trouble logging in. But I left it for a night. Then non navigation version logged in. Now working just like a dream. I'm again happy with s4!!!
Good Luck people...!!

I would just like to say thank you to the OP for posting this installation file. I hated Google Maps 7.0+ since it came out this past summer and immediately "downgraded" back to 6.0+ on my Galaxy S4 and ignored all Google Play updates for it. When I installed JellyBean 4.3, unfortunately it updated Maps to 7.0+ on its own. I used it for one day and was already at my wits end with it. Thanks again for this.
My only question regarding it is, is the map data static or will it update itself whenever Google updates map data? For example, if a street in my neighborhood suddenly gets changed from 2 way to one way and Google Maps is notified and updated, will your custom app know this as well?

The map data is in the cloud - it's not part of the app... so it will update.

A tip to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
The maps 6 version is also running at the same time with Maps 7.
I have a lot of background activities / wakelocks.
Probably location tagging or other stuff.
You can switch off the following options in Maps 6 without loosing the functions, because they are already activated in maps 7.
(Depending what you have activated)
Settings in GOOGLE- SETTINGS :
Now I have no Background activities from maps 6 anymore

Great i was looking for old maps. The new version didn't want even find location.

you can not simply make installable apks from s2 and install them on any android!
there are a lot of lib files and others that you need to port them!
Google it, maybe you found flash-able s2's TW and other things for any android
upload some apks that you want to convert, i want to test them

Polaroid All in One - Root, Un-Root, Play Store, Should work on other devices

Polaroid All in One is a C++ application that will easily and quickly Root, Un-Root, and Install / Remove Google Applications and Google Services Framework. This software is designed for the PTAB8000, and PMID800. However, should work for similar tablets running Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean (Google Apps only supported on Android 4.0.x). If you use this software with any other device please post your results in the this forum.
Requirements
Microsoft Windows (Tested on Windows 7 and Windows XP)
ADB Drivers Installed
Android Device Running 4.0 or 4.1 (Google Apps only supported on 4.0.x)
Recommended Method
Use version 1.6b to root your device, then use version 2.1b to install Google Framework.
UPDATE 8/11/14 -- Why doesn't this work with my device?
I just wanted to clear a few things up. I have had a few inquires about PAIO (Polaroid AIO) not installing Google Framework on their devices. The framework included in the latest releases is only compatible with Android 4.0.x. While PAIO v1.6b should be able to root 4.0, and 4.1 devices, the application will refuse to load the framework on a non-compatible version of android. If your tablet is not running a variant of Ice Cream Sandwich, it's simply not going to work. If we continue development we can support newer versions of Android. But, for now you would have to install the framework manually. If you would like to pursue a manual install I recommend you check out this page: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps Make sure you know what you are doing, and install the version that is correct for your device. I'm waiting to get more feedback on the poll before I decide to continue this project.
Have a great week everyone,
Wayne
UPDATE 8/10/14 -- [Quick Survey] Should we continue development?
As I am sure some of you have noticed by now, this project has not been under active development for over a year now. We had an event that resulted in a loss of the source code for the project. As a result, the project was put on the back burner as it worked "OK"-ish. Between the 1.6b and 2.1b releases it did meet the requirements at the time, which was to root and install a full play store on the PTAB8000, and PMID800 devices. While these devices may not be as popular at this time (they had a fairly high failure rate). There are other Generic devices that people have used this program on, with mixed results. I did have a PTAB8000 with a cracked screen donated a while back. As long as we have people to test/debug, and support the project however they can. I am willing to start the project from scratch (again).
All I ask is for a few minutes of your time to take a quick survey to help me understand the interest we have in this project.

UPDATE 1/21/13 -- Polaroid AIO v2.1b [Beta Release]
After a nightmare's worth of coding Polaroid All in One v2.1b is finally here. This update aims to provide the best possible user experience. While utilizing the latest patches discovered by the team. I would like to give a special shout out to Android Pizza for taking the initiative to get a fully stocked Play Store on the PTAB8000. Special thanks to the guys over at FreakTab for providing the permission files needed for the patch on the PTAB8000. Last but not least I would like to thank all of you for testing every release. You're feedback is critical to this product. Every post has helped with PAIO's development process.
PTAB8000 users please make sure you are running a stock firmware. If you have tried earlier versions of PAIO, or have used any other files to patch your tablet, you must re-flash your tablet. Please see the section below on flashing your PTAB8000.

UPDATE 12/30/12 -- Polaroid AIO v1.6b [Old, Stable Release]
I am leaving this version posted as it seems to have been the most stable version. This will work with Android Pizza's tutorial on the PTAB8000, and works perfectly on the PMID800. It is recommended this version be used to root, and 2.1b used to install the framework (if supported on your device).

Just updated this thread see the original post for the Polaroid All in One 1.3b beta release. I need people to test this update and let me know if it fixes the issues with the Google Services Framework, and the Google Play Store crashing. Make sure you choose Remove Google Applications and Framework first be fore you install the updated gapps.
Good luck please post back to this thread with your results.

I'm trying to give it a go but I cannot get Windows 8 to recognise the device when I plug it in. I managed to get the ADB drivers installed eventually as you need a work around for the "The third-party INF does not contain digital signature information" but that didnt help Windows 8 see the device. Then I installed the Google USB Drivers from the Android SDK Manager, but that hasn't helped.
I have everything checked correctly in the Settings --> Developer's section too....... Anyone else managed to get this device to work with Windows 8?

What device do you have? Did you follow these steps here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982718 Can you run an adb command to interface with the device? I do not currently have a Windows 8 install to debug on. Give me a couple hours and I'll setup a VM for some debuging... You may also want to try using compatibility mode. http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-8/run-a-program-in-compatibility-mode-in-windows-8/
OK. I ended up using a crappy Netbook running Win7 and your v1.3b can see the device perfectly. Unfortunately I don't have any Google apps, but I do have root. Not sure why framework and Google apps didn't work but I even tried resetting the tablet to stock to try again. I've tried all options numerous times, and no beans on this device I'm afraid.
Like I said. It rooted perfectly and I love how slick everything is. Seriously impressive work my friend. Hopefully you can take a look into the issues I'm having? Anyone else had this problem?
I do have one more PTAB8000 I can try this one once I'm given the tablet that is... (Doing this for my Lads girlfriend and sister)

Is the device that will not give you google apps a PTAB8000? No errors given?
Also have you tried 1.2? The Framework is a little buggy but will be helpful in debugging why this is not working with your device.
Thank you for the support. Glad you where able to at least get root, and we will work on getting google apps installed for you. Give 1.2 a go and let me know what happens.

Both are PTAB8000's. The one I have at the moment just worked with v1.2 on the 1st attempt when trying to add the framework and gApps.. I didn't try any other option since v1.3b rooted it first..
v1.3b didnt give any error messages... My observations between v1.2 and v1.3b is that they both show that they are doing the same thing, but v1.3b does it at such a speed that it's hard to imagine that the device had enough time to receive the files that were being pushed. On v1.2 is was a lot slower and more in tune with the fact that data is being pushed to the device.
Then on the reboot, you get the Android is updating logo before hitting the desktop for version 1.2, whereas I didn't get that with v1.3b....
I can't test any of the apps just yet as I need my Son's, Girlfriends gmail account details but so far so good.
Seriously GREAT work TeODH4

Ok thanks for your feedback. 1.2 should work for you However you will experience some bugs such as com.google.gapps randomly crashing which i tried to fix. in 1.3b. I will take a look at the 1.3 code and see if i can figure out what the issue is. Maybe add some better error checking.

Found the issue with 1.3. just a simple typo when trying to change directory to Resources/gapps. If you don't mind give 1.4b a shot,
Be sure to Remove Google Apps first, then install. It worked just fine with my simulation. But without having a tablet to debug on at the moment its hard to be sure...
Thanks,

Hi,

This firmware can be flashed via “local update” option on settings menu of your Ascend P6 and initial testers confirmed that this can be flashed from any current firmware versions such as B125,B118. This firmware includes new software functions such as floating Apps like you see on the above screenshot.

Going to flash it after I finished downloading. I hope ther e is a hide nav bar function in it!
And I hope I won't brick my P6-U06 with it.
The screenshots say there is hide nav bar button.
Floating apps!! Yay!!

Google+ stopped.. Play Store says no connection. That's all yet. And some apps were force closing at the beginning that I didn't really see what they were 'cause Viber popped up and ruined everything. All of my apps/games that were installed are all here. Except the ones were in the folder something like Google applications. That folder is gone. I don't know what was in it, as I think I never opened it...
Weird.. I don't even have Google+ app.. How did it stopped?
JEEESUS!
I changed the theme back to Pure that I was using and got two new pages.. There is the G+ app,: App Center, Chrome, Driving Mode, File Manager (that was on my home screen before), Photos, Game Center, Google (??? An empty icon), Google Settings, Google+, Voice Search, Local, HiCare (what's that?), Notes, Log Tool (?), Navigation, Play Books, Play Newsstand, Play Music, Phone Manager, Video, Vmall (?), Voice Assistant, Baidu (?).

Does the google store work now ? If it does, then you are lucky. If you do a factory reset, you will lose gapps and you will end up doing some complex methods to get full functional gapps.

No, it's not working. I can open it, but it says no connection.

Hmm.. I made a restart.. Doesn't boot up. I'm watching the Huawei logo for about ten minutes now.
I had to reflash it.. Now all my apps and Google apps gone. Luckily I have backups of everything. But it is strange that at the first restart it dies at the boot logo. Now I made a fast restart again to see if it's a permanent issue, but now it booted up without any problems.. So, looks like we must flash it on a wiped ROM.

Oh.. Lucky one! I had battery drain like 50% in an hour. So I'm flashing a B125 ROM. After flashing this 4.4 on it again, the little arrow to hide navbar gone. So, I don't like it anymore. I had a backup of settings (from here XDA) that had the option to hide navbar, but the phone said that that's not compatible with it anymore.. Fuuu... And the percentage display of the battery also gone. I didn't like the new File Manager. Everything else was fine for that one hour I was testing it. Maybe later I'll test it again. The floating apps stuff is really cool!

The Chinese firmware have the hide navigation bar option in setting itself. No need to use that backup file tool. As for battery percentage, then you have choice to enable or disable it from settings>battery, in emui2.0/2.3.
I'm on 4.4 again. I updated it now from B125 and didn't had any issues after restart like I had after updating from B107. Battery drain is still faster than at the 4.2 ROMs (8% in an hour with screen off, wifi on, didn't use it at all). I can confirm that Wi-Fi signal is stronger! This time I had all the previous apps/games that I had before the update. Didn't had to change theme to find them. Google applications are all there that I had on 4.2. They just don't work.
So.. I recommend to update to B125 and then update to KitKat. If we are talking about P6-U06. The device id changed to P6-U00 this time too. So I think it will change to that, no matter what was the ROM I came from.
For me it seems like that the processing speed is circa 20% faster, but the touch sensitivity became worst.
Am I the only one who thinks that the icons are a bit bigger than in 4.2?
Wake up is way faster! A half a second. It took one and a half to lit up the screen in 4.2.
Sound with the original headset is terrible. Traveling on a bus I did not hear anything! So I still have to use my ducttaped SonyEricsson push-it-in-brain headset..
I just hate the Cloud/Local view in the File Manager.. The Local/SD was far better.
The location service (or whatever) is always turned off on all of my devices. On this one too. And in every quarter hours I get a popup message that there is an error in location services..
There is no timestamp in camera settings. I don't remember if it was in 4.2, but that is an option I would need to have.

Google Now (Google Search) Voice controls for armv6, anyone?

Hopefully I won't be offending anyone by cross-forum posting,
I worked out a widget to use online voice recognition on armv6 devices and feed it to Google Search. I'm running 3.3.10 myself
I see there are a few older threads about that here that aren't solved... So I'm offering my program if anyone would like to try it out.
[armv6][APP][4.2+]Voice Search Wrapper for Google Now (Google Search)
See, I have an armv6 device too, and I like the idea of supporting the newer Google software for older devices, since Google won't do it themselves or release source code so we can do it properly.

The widget should run fine but I don't know if the version of Now you'd have to use has the same intent to launch the search as newer versions.
Hm, 10.1 uses quicksearchbox.apk instead of Velvet.apk
It might work though. It would be easy to test... if I had a cm10 rom for my device still.
I'd say to test versions from here instead as they might work and would be more functional than the old quicksearchbox. If they install they may work, but you need version higher than 2.0 or the widget definitely won't feed voice data to Now.

I thought the instructions on the thread were clear, but if you need more info I can clarify them.
In an nutshell:
bigsupersquid said:
...
Installation:
Get Voice Search on Play
get the apk from post 2, and install it.
If youve already got Google Now version 3.10 or higher sideloaded you can skip this next bit, go straight to fixing the Google Now settings.
I haven't been able to get either the launcher or Search to work installing from Play.
The Easy Way
Sideload the official apks from somewhere like androidpolice, and then you don't have to push anything to /data.
Here's the androidpolice 3.3 article with a download link.
The Harder Way
Get Now (and the launcher if you see fit) from the gapps here.
G Now is four files. /system/priv-app/Velvet.apk (chmod 644)
and three libs from /system/lib
libvcdecoder_jni.so, libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so, and libgoogle_hotword_jni.so (chmod 644)
(thanks to Dovidhalevi for pointing out the libvcdecoder.jni.so, I had missed that one.)
the launcher is /system/app/GoogleHome.apk (chmod 644) but it's not required.
you can 'adb install' Velvet, then adb push the three libs to /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/lib if you don't have space on /system.
Fix Google Search Settings!
once those files are installed,
1) immediately go into Google settings > Search & Now > Voice > "Ok Google" hotword detection, and turn it off.
2) Then back up one menu to Google settings > Search & Now > Voice, open Language and set it to something obscure like Hungarian (this avoids nasty FCs that happen to some users, thanks again Dovidhalevi for the tip!)
Important: If Search keeps closing on you, you need to make sure you changed the language in Google settings as listed in #2 from the previous paragraph.
If there's no setting to turn off hotword detection, the version is too old. try v3.10 or newer.
still get Search force closes? @rar**** posted a fix.
Usage:
The first time you run it there will (well, should) be a dialog asking what you want to use. Select Voice Search, Always.
(If there's not a dialog asking what to run for this action, go to Settings >Apps > Google Search and clear defaults. If that doesn't do it, clear defaults for Voice Search and VoiceSearchWrapper too.)
The widget can be activated by long-press search button. Another dialog should pop up. Select VoiceSearchWrapper, always.
Just tell it what to do, like after the hotword on a newer device. Instead of "Ok Google, weather" just say "weather."

OS Update

Just wanted to let y'all know, that the new Software Update v1.3 has been released (and wanted to keep the 'technical details' thread clean..)! Here is the mail you should have received.
Changelog:
The latest Fairphone OS version is 1.3, named Chestnut (released in May 2014).
We're delivering a larger collection of bug fixes - including initial software development work of version 1.2 Release Candidate - to bring these updates in this combined version 1.3.
This software update version 1.3 should address the following:
Camera app fixes and optimizations.
Phone crashes and reboots. This includes issues with the volume button/key, widgets and mood background on the lockscreen, and the People app.
Adding more European languages to the operating system language (eg, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian).
Proximity sensor timing improved (i.e., to minimize response time of screen when moving the phone away from your ear).
Maintenance to prevent some internal storage notifications.
Messaging app fixes (e.g., crashing in Dutch fixed).
Optimized settings for some Bluetooth profiles (e.g., HID).
Further fixes on National Roaming notification.
Removed notification from missing SIM card.
Some Dutch and German translations corrected.
Fixed number parsing (no default to Chinese numbers).
Improved audio settings.
Optimized default volume settings for headset and speaker.
Removed (most) Video Calling option on Phone and People app.
*Regarding questions on internal storage partitioning, we are finalizing proper storage partitioning to prevent
separating app from data storage (to unify this storage). We are currently working on fixing last remaining issues and
getting the updating mechanism ready for users. We will add a Support Q&A to our website once we have more information to share.

Follow these steps if the update does not appear on your phone (seems like it will still take a while to appear - these steps do not work for me either).
---
A short question for my part: as it is mentioned in the mail (see first link) one will have to re-install the App-Store.
Does one lose any other of the installed stuff? What about the backupping? Is the pre-installed app working fine or can someone recommend anything else based on her/his experience?

I just upgraded, and although I had to try pushing the Upgrade button a few times before it would actually work, everything right now seems to be working as is and nothing else seems to have become lost. I hadn't backed up anything, mainly because I hadn't thought of it - it would, in fact, have been wise. I do indeed no longer get the empty sim notification for sim slot 2, which is nice. Tweaks such as GravityBox and Xprivacy still seem to work just fine.
Hey everybody,
I have a small problem. After reinstalling the Google apps by widget I removed Thema not used apps and tools. G+, bookmark syncing....
Now Threema using GCM doesn't work anymore.
Is it possible to reset the widget to install the apps really easy?
Otherwise dies someone has the zip to install it manually?

Two issues that I did run into after a manual install from 1.2 rc1:
After reinstalling google apps, I needed to clear the data for Google Play Store before installing apps via the play store webpages on an other device (e.g. desktop PC) would work.
My device is currently not listed in android device manager (for tracking / remote wipe / etc), but is was showing up before the update. I'm hoping this is just a matter of waiting a little bit. (ADM is still listed as device admin, toggling this off and on again hasn't appeared to help). Edit: This problem was also reported and solved for the previous update here.

This was done on Stock Android (AOSP) 1.0, as described here. So even though I think the result would be the same, you could just repeat this procedure on your Fairphone OS 1.3 in order to create a flashable zip-file.
I've been using AOSP since day one, and never had any of the described glitches or crashes, so I won't start using it now
But in a week or two, I'll start nagging Fairphone again about AOSP updates, since it would be great to get at least the camera tint fixed.
Hope this helps!
Yeah I would like to do this, but my widget just shows me right now, that I installed them already.
Has someone else an idea how to reset the widget?
I tried to delete the data of the widget and got to fairphone OS app site, bit deleting data there only deleted my home screen....

I have extended my partition before the update. As it comes with a simple zip file, you will not have changes to the current partition configuration.
As per Xposed, you will have to reinstall it afterwards anyway. No need to disable it.
The only recommendation would be to make a valid clockworkmod backup before the installation. The default fairphone recovery does not handle repartitioned phones well in my experience.
You will even be able to use the backup to restore only the applications you need with the tool Nandroid Manager * ROOT.
Problems after updating: Keyboard completely gone?
Hi everybody,
haven't been around for some time, quite busy ATM.
I updated to 1.3 Chestnut, and had the AOSP keyboard problem (crashes). Then, I tried to be smart and shot meself in the foot: I used titanium backup to restore the keyboard. As the app reported that the installation did not, erm, install, I tried to remove the keyboard app. Which also apparently did not work. I thought to postpone everything and turned the phone off.
Now, the keyboard seems completely gone, and I can't unlock my phone. Instead, it shows the red microphone button and tells me to "Speak now".
To sum up:
* I can't unlock the phone because the keyboard is gone, and fallback seems to be voice recognition.
* I can't re-install GApps using the widget, because I can't unlock the phone.
* I can't access phone storage or sd card because the phone is locked, and USB is set to media mode (or whatever it's called).
* I can't access the SD card because I'm using Windows on my desktop, and Win7 does want to format my sd card because it has a non-compatible file system.
Any ideas?
Oh, btw: de-crypting the phone works. I've got a keyboard there.
Do you have access to another SD card?
So install the update manually again and the keyboard should be back again.
The data were still there, when I did it.
Sent from my FP1 using XDA Free mobile app
I've applied the update manually by rebooting into recovery mode (hold power + volume up) and then selecting the option to send an update via ADB. I'm not sure whether you need to have USB debugging enabled first for this to work from recovery, but it may be worth a try if the SD card approach doesn't work out.
Since @benxda was asking for some feedback on the new update, here is mine.
I had the 1.2RC installed before. So I was not able to get the OTA update. Anyway, I decided to repartition my phone first, then install the update (I did not repartition it before... so space was getting low). Everything worked fine and now I have chestnut on my phone with a bigger data partition. yay!
Anyhow, I am still hoping for a bluetooth fix. Unfortunatly "Optimized settings for some Bluetooth profiles (e.g., HID)" did not solve my bluetooth pairing problem with my car. But I did not really expect it since @joemier stated somewhere that the bluetooth stack problem will not be fixed with 1.3. Anyhow I still tried.
Bluetooth is my main issue, and from where I am standing, I do not really get why it is not fixed,yet. I saw it fixed in various jelly bean custom roms. So why not ask the people who already did it how they did it. One example for this might be found here. If I remember correctly he fixed that in alpha6 or something. But on the other hand I am no android developer and from my perspective this might look easier than it is.
So I guess my questions for Fairphone would be:
Are you still working on the bluetooth issue? what are the plans on fixing it (or rather how do you want to tackle it)?
what priority does it have?
On a closing note, I feel the same way as @MarcoToo in his post. That people either moved on, or just don't care anymore. Sounds a bit cynical maybe, but I think that's how it is at the moment. And I must admit that I thought about buying a new phone with similar specs and more custom rom action going on. like the galaxy s4 mini. But it is really hard for me to get rid of a phone which I used for only a few month. But one of the major reasons why I bought this phone does not apply anymore (hackability).

CM 12.1/13 - various builds

Hello guys, I'm going to share some CM builds I've found online and I'd like you to try them and discuss them. Thanks to collapseromer.
Builds are usually compatible both to US and Chinese devices: please say which version you're using when you post/report bugs since we'd like to confirm that.
Most recent I've found (old versions hidden):

Thanks to our fellow @BetaHydri we have the best of both worlds: working location service (even for mobile and wifi, Smart Lock via location should work now!) and working videos. Nice job!

OK, things are getting serious: we've got Play Store and Google services working fine (location via mobile data and wifi not working), all kind of streaming videos play fine, framerate for GPU intensive games is unbelievable compared to LeTV's 12S stock ROM based Custom ROMs; no major bugs to note except Parrot's Free Flight 3 app not working.
Dolby Atmos/AudioFX can be fixed using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67579077&postcount=109

Google Play Store started FCing after like an hour since I installed. I've tried a few things to get it back (uninstall via Root Explorer and reinstall, clear cache and data, flash GApps again) but so far no luck; funny enough, it's auto-updating installed apps and installing apps when I do that via browser just fine. :/
EDIT: Now it works... I guess it's because of the modified build.prop I applied, which I'm attaching here..
Actually I kept getting Play Store working on and off and I couldn't understand what triggers that so I reverted to the ROM below.

- This ROM gets everything working except Periscope and Facebook videos.
As an attachment you can find a flashable zip to restore volume switch function on any CM build! Thanks http://bbs.le.com/thread-1675368-1.html
Please note I always disable all the Chinese apps (for example using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=i) and install Stock/Aroma Open Gapps (http://opengapps.org/).
This is a guide to trim the ROM zip from variuos apk's, use wisely: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-2939-1-1.html

Missing SIM possible solution (thanks 0rk0 from http://www.letv.re/topic/1020-letv-x800-lost-imei/?do=findComment&comment=9608)
Code:
1. With the card inserted and unacknowledged make a call by typing: * # * # 4636 # * # *
2. Appear a menu with several options: informaticion phone, battery information, usage statistics and wifi information. That we are interested in "phone information" we click on it.
3. We get a lot of things and options. We seek "Set preferred network type" and we click on the tab that appears below us which allows us to select different types of networks.
When you first enter this menu appeared selected the option "TD-SCDMA, LTE, CDMA, EVDO GSM / WCDMA," possibly this was the problem, it was the wrong choice. So it was.
4. Change the option to "LTE / GSM / CDMA auto (PRL)" and restart your phone (you simply have to select it and get out the normal phone menu
This is the official device support request CM thread, chime in! https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/120767-letv-x500-x600-x800/
And head over here to review the ROM, I think that may stimulate collapseromer to build more, maybe even CM13! http://rom.7to.cn/romdetail/1012717
What's your mileage guys? Could you get some CM13 somewhere, maybe? Please share your files and experience, LeTV ROMs are just clueless and I really think CM is the only way out: how could you develop such a useless lockscreen and notification shade, LeTV?
Hmm... Great stuff. I also not very impressed by EUI... What about Sim card slots, mobile Internet and camera? Do all these things work on CM too? How about battery life? Is it improved or same or less?
Sent from my Le 1 Pro using Tapatalk
I'm using slot 2 only and data/calls/messages work fine; both cameras work, with 4k videos too; battery is more or less the same, I can go morning to evening just like Cuoco's. I really insist you should try, unless letv starts developing good things (but it seems like Android 6 ROM doesn't change much) I'll never look back; moreover, someone may port cm13 sooner or later.
Inviato dal mio X800+ utilizzando Tapatalk
How's the camera quality, compared to EUI?
Thanks for this share OP =D
Not at all, dude, I just want to spark some conversation and maybe development for this DOA device...
Camera is fine, you even get 4k video recording from main camera and 1080p from the front facing one. Even official EUI ROMs are not that good, with camera: videos always fail to autofocus and you have to keep pressing on screen to refocus, while pictures live preview is slow and generally not so good with low lighting.
Please H3G, deliver the HTC 10 and I'll get that in a heartbeat so I can stop going slightly mad with this device!

Hi,
do I understand correctly that this "collapse-cm-12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-X800" version works on our LeTV 1 Pro X800 US/CE model?

Correct, any CM you'll find in this thread works both for CN and US versions, I'm using an US device myself.

Ok thanks !
Then I will try it today, as I have some problems with my actual CUOCO 11S V4.3 which could not be OTA updated anymore for whatever reason.
Did't you installed OPENGAPPS arm64 version right after the ROM flash ?
Right, opengapps build, 64 bit, Android 5.1, flashed right after ROM (put two zips in queue, in case you're wondering). Let me know which build you're going to flash and how you like it.

I installed it ! But on boot I choosed german as language maybe not a good idea. Will try again with english at first boot-up.
I noticed following:
- I installed OpenGAPPS Stock Version for 5.1 / arm64
- Google Play Store is crashing
- AudioFX is crashing
- four to six useless chinese apps included into the ROM
- One settings extension is completely in chinese
Anyway if I'm able to remove the for me useless stuff and fix the crashing of the play sotre, then I will keep this ROM.
Which ROM build did you flash? I reverted to https://app.box.com/s/ua2ekx0g54iltp2nj9b8uo2fykciylwg for now, just because of Play Store issues (even though it actually worked since I could install apps via browser and apps were auto-updating I could open it only sporadically, most of the time it force closed).
- AudioFX crashes here too, I actually never tried that since all my audio needs are speaker and bluetooth;
- You can easily freeze/uninstall those Chinese apps: enable CM root access in standard developer settings, install Titanium Backup or similar from Play Store (or via apk from apkmirror.com) and get rid of them;
- That settings item in Chinese language is actually just a container for all those Chinese apps you want to kill, so don't bother. It will force close if you click on it, once you freeze/delete those apps.
- I always choose Italian as system language and everything is in Italian: except for those Chinese apps, of course, but they never survive for a long time.

I flashed this one that you posted at the beginning:
https://mega.nz/#!QgoihJCQ!RpD2O1knJ5L6uAOGI7I6elv6spUNrPXD7whpqb6y2kE
Should I try the one that you posted in the BOX account ? Isn't it the same ?
Nope, slightly older: try that.

can't download the one in the box account. The download don't start...
You're right, the uploader went out of bandwidth: I'm uploading to Mega myself, it should be ready in less than an hour. Of course I'll change the links too.

I noticed that I had already downloaded it during last week.
But see my last reply:
So this one is from 07.06.2016, is this the one that you put on mega ?

Original filename of the file I'm uploading to Mega is collapse-cm-12.1-20160512-UNOFFICIAL. If you have that one just flash. Build date is 2016-05-12 (12/05/2016 in Europe), you can see it from the filename.

Yes exactly. I flashed it already Play Store works on this build from 12.05.2016. Cool !
I already deactivated all the chinese APPS via APPS Settings --> All Apps. It's important that you have to download first a new keyboard like google keyboard. As the chinese/english one will be also unavailable when deactivating all chinese app/services from settings.
Yeah, so far that build worked fine, only occasional non-playing Periscope/Facebook videos. Even installed Xposed Framework with a few modules.
Oh, are you using Trebuchet or Google launcher?
