[Method]WhatsApp installation on Nokia XL Successfully - Nokia X

My friend has Nokia XL device and he successfully installed the Whatsapp app in his device. i thought it may help some other people who is struggling to use Whatsapp in their devices.
Here are the steps he followed to install the Whatsapp:
1. First change the date to may or april i.e., change your date to before june (i suppose, it is because the update of whatsapp came on 9th june)
2. Download the old version of WhatsApp (i.e.,2.11.238) - use only nokia browser, don't use Play Store or Mobile Market...
3. Install it and Run it
4. Complete verification and complete the procedure, update the contacts
5. Chat with one or more contacts... so that you may have backup info about Whatsapp to get a Widget.
6. Now change the date to Present date and reboot(restart) the phone.
7. After rebooting the phone to present date, it says whatsapp is an obsolete version and suggest you to install latest version. click download (download using the nokia browser, NO Play store or NO mobile markets)
8. Now download the file and install manually, it will ask you to upgrade the version and click install. (don't uninstall previous whatsapp),
9. Now you have the Whatsapp with latest version and with present date...
But access the app from Fastlane or using Widget. if you open using the icon then it shows error.
Uninstall the Whatsapp+ if you already have.
Have Fun Whatsapp-ing...
If you have any doubts Please Comment...
If I helped you the HIT THANKS.

Hey, this method is too dangerous!
I had my phone soft bricked once with this method. So, all the users take a backup of your system partition before doing this .

yeah, I forget to mention it..
backup using cwm or twrp before doing this
the permission very important to do
this is simple method if u already understand cwm or twrp also how to root
probably not simple for beginners

Its dangerous to modify build.prop unless you have knowledge what you are doing... Instead of doing this you can flash a custom rom. Either ways you must root and BACKUP.

[HOWTO] Install Flipboard on Your Iconia

If you look up Flipboard in your playstore, you wont find it because its not available for Tablets yet, sure you can go and change the build.prop file and then get it, but there is another way;
Instructions:
Download the Beta Version of Fliboard from here
Then, Install it as any other normal APK, run the app and it will itself tell you to update to latest version, and voila...
(sorry if this has been posted before)
Nice find!! Thanks

Q2: never used it on my mobile
Q3: download a file explorer and navigate to that .apk file and tap it. Follow instructions to install it. See the .apk the same as an .exe on the pc

Will need to change settings to allow apk install, will give you the option when you go to install.
I used a video convertor once I can't remember the name though :/ so long as the app actually makes use of the quad core should be rapid.

Its in dutch but you get the picture. It allows you to install any apk you want.

[Q] Nokia xl update help and gapps.

So recently I updated my nokia (RM1030) to the laoftware update I.e 1.2.3.21 but I iam confused that shouldnt I get the MixRadio app instead of the normal radio on the latest update? Cuz I have seen it on other devices. Also I want to install the google play services so I can get playstore and stuff . Do I. Eed to root cuz I dont want to root because it can ge bricked or something like that so any suggestions?
Both MixRadio and normal radio are present in 1.2.3.21 update. and no need to root if you want to install gapps. Just use AngSanley's Nokia X Manager.

simple instruction is put the gapps in your phone memory or sd card
if you have custom recovery (lewa, miui, cwm, twrp) just install the zip file
always make a backup of your stable rom before flashing, theres nothing wrong in having mistake just make sure you have back up in your recovery or in any case have a backup of stock rom (if recovering from backup did not work) you can always flash back stock rom to your device via nx flasher

Thanks for reply but how to get the twrp custom recovery? Does nokia x manager does it for me automatically when I click install g apps
I mean does nokia x manager adds custom recovery temporarly for just installing a zip?

First you need the updated ADB driver for nokia x.
Here is the thread by Dom3616 :http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x/general/fix-updated-adb-drivers-nokia-x-v1-2-4-1-t2835827
you will find download link and the installation Procedure.
download any gapps flashable zip file for 4.1.2 to your pc( I used the one mentioned in this post-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53977207&postcount=31)
Then open nokia x manager and connect you phone to pc as usb memory.
After it detect your phone click on Install GApps. then press ok and select the GApps.zip file you downloaded.
After that it will copy the zip file to your internal memory and boot your device in TWRP temporarily.(You will not able to boot in twrp again).
In twrp click on install and navigate to your .zip file and select it. Then swipe to confirm. it will install it and then click reboot. It will ask you to root your device just click on no. Done.

Guys Please tell me about bug free Custom ROM only for NOKIA XL

From past few days i m thinking of installing google store and google now on my Nokia XL Phone. I read lot of threads and watch many videos. But still unable to make decision. So far i have downloaded 3 tool kits 1) NokiaXMgr_v1.0.0.0 2) Ultimate tool v1.1 3) Universal Toolkit Setup. Which one i should choose? Now i have stock Rom. Please also tell me, is it safe to install custom ROM. If Yes, then which one is the best? Most of threads are for NOKIA X. That is why i am bit confused. Eagerly waiting for your response. Thanks in advance.
Use Universal toolkit to install google play it's so easy, custom roms are not completely stable but the best one is Xperia ROM

You can boot to custom recovery or install it, then wipe your current rom, then install custom rom files: "ROM+XL Patch+Camera Patch", After ROM installed use toolkit to fix Radio&APN

I think there are some security concern in universal kit. BTW i don't use antivirus. Either windows is blocking or it is buggy, i don't know. I have rooted my device using TWRP 2.7 (via Nokia X manager). But i m facing issue while backing up my Stock Rom. As i said screen is turning black. Each time i have to remove the battery.

You can Fix radio by my zip fix, For walkman just delete download music info from system apps, and For MTP change it from Settings app then Storage options, press menu and change it to MTP.
Note: If you want to use this ROM in other language (it's only Indonesian and English) just Flash its language Pack by me Here

Lenovo k4 note xposed and supersu

Hello friends i am glad we are successful in getting xposed on lenovo k4 note.
Here we present the 100℅ working method for it
Firstly i think you have rooted already your k4 if not see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/root-lenovo-vibe-k4-note-t3313481
First you have to replace kingroot with supersu
Download this file Mod Edit: link removed.
extract it and place mrw folder in internal sdcard i.e. address should be sdcard/mrw
Ok now download this terminal emulator Mod Edit: link removed.
and open it.
Type su and enter
kingroot root allow window will open .press allow.
Now
It will show # rather than $
Now type
sh sdcard/mrw/root.sh
And enter and wait
supersu will automatically open now ask to update binary press yes and select normal.
Now install flashfire by chainfire here https://play.google.com/apps/testing/eu.chainfire.flash
And install
Now download these files
Mod Edit: links removed.
Ok open flashfire
Click + button
Select flash zip file
Select the downloaded xposed-v80-sdk22-arm64.zip
And flash
It will automatically flash and reboot now install downloaded xposed apk and
There you go.
Like everytime you are welcomed to ask questions like noobs
No problem everyone was a noob first.
UPDATE: this method has been tested on 2 k4 notes more than 3 times without any problems. this method will work for every phone with locked as well as unlocked bootloader but just download suitable xposed binary for your phone if your phone is not 64bit.

Rovo89 for xposed
Chainfire for flashfire

I can't understand how can you lose imeis with this method.
There is no such thing like that.
Imei partition is different from system.
Maybe you tried firmware upgrade via sp flash tool.
But i used firm. Upgrade too but worked fine.

Not on all devices. It is common that messing with the system partition can cause IMEI corruption. Chained in dual sim devices. This is due to the fact that android doesn't fully support dual Sims so each oem does it differently.
But it will be same for same models.
If i am successful he should also be successful on same phone model.
But he may be trying differently. Not exactly how i wrote.

Imei corruption can be repaired easily as stock rom contains apdb, db files which are needed to repair imei.
