FB Messenger - no chatheads in app Settings - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says - I'm not able to enable Chatheads in facebook Messenger - I'm on 7.1.1 DP2, no root, never have unlocked BL and yes, I've tried the 'Draw over other apps' permission, but with no luck.
The option just isn't there - is this 'cause of the beta? Any ideas?

[GUIDE]Your phone doesn't connect to Gtalk or Google+?

Hi
i want to open this thread because recently i had a problem with my Xperia S.
The phone was offline in gtalk and it couldn't open Google plus (it gave me an errore like:" can't connect to the server " ).
For this reason why, apps like Cerberus can't work!
So i've find the solution for this problem and i want to share it with you.
- open Settings -> Apps -> All
- Go to Google Talk and clear data
- Go to Google Services Framework and clear data
- Go to Accounts & sync
- Go to your gmail account, press settings and remove the account from the phone
- Reboot the device
- Add your gmail account
- Open Gtalk and you will see that it's online
(Only if you had problem with Cerberus):
- Open Cerberus, login with your account, select " Register for C2DM "
- Open Cerberus dashboard from your PC and send some command, you will see that it work!
Best regards
Thanks !!

Thanks, it's gonna help me.
I believe with this issue you only need to remove your Google account from the phone and then log back in it again

"Allow Nova Launcher to open ... ?" - annoying message

I use official Chinese rom on Redmi Note 5 (pro, 3/32GB) with Nova launcher. Unfortunately when I try to open an app that I've installed via Google Play or .apk file I get a permission request "Allow Nova Launcher to open ... ?".
Is there a simple way (except for flashing a new rom) to remove this? It happens once a reboot - if I say OK then I can use this particular app without further messages, but when I reboot the phone the issue comes back. So far gave Nova all permissions possible but no luck.
As any other apps also have the same annoying message
Each boot, Eaxh apps will have"allow *** to open" sorta message pop-up. Tried googling but found nothing. My phone China ROM too.
Anyone knows how to disable the security thingy?
Security app >manage apps>permission>Auto start
Enable Auto start for all apps
Et voila !
(It's not that Nova doesn't have permission to open these apps . These apps aren't allowed to be started by other apps , that's the problem)

[how to] Fix the google contacts sync issue on CN ROM

This guide is to meant to attempt to save valuable time and frustration from anyone who needs google's contact sync.
Please keep all discussions polite.
So I need google apps on a daily basis and i tried to set up google on the chinese ROM .
And of course there is no Google contacts app so you need to put it in yourself.
I have looked at several guides and threads from XDA and MIUI Forum but they didn't seem to touch the critical steps for getting the contacts to sync with google.
After 2 days of trying...literally.., i figured out how to set the contact sync up reliably, not "reboot it and it will work after the reboot" sorta result.
If the following steps don't work for you, please let me know...I have tried this on 2 MIX 3's and they all worked after first attempt.
1, Enable google play services in Settings app -> system apps -> google play services
2, Download the Google play store from Apk Mirror:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...8-23-all-0-pr-224256688-android-apk-download/
and the google contacts sync adapter:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../google-contacts-sync-9-android-apk-download/
And install them.
3, Open google play store, log in, and install Google contacts from the play store.
4, Give permissions to google contacts and contact sync adapter
*** Above steps are common to the threads i have read, and below are the key points ***
5, Enable on developer options by goto Settings->my phone(or something like that) -> full specs and tap MIUI version 7 times.
6, Go to settings -> additional settings -> developer options , scroll to the very bottom (last item) and disable "MIUI optimizations". Will explain why in later steps.
7, Download an "app permission setting" app such as (but not limited to) this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fdd2hdd.AppPermissionInfo
8, Open the permission settings app and find Google contacts and Google contact sync adapter apps and grant all their required permission.
Once you are here you should notice that, the permission GUI opened from this permission app is different. The GUI here is more AOSP style, or vanilla android style, and this is what we need. The permission GUI from MIUI layer doesn't allow you to set this up.
******* End of the key steps************
9, Now if you go to settings->accounts->Google, you should see "contacts" in the sync options and it should work. If not, well, reboot lol, i think it should appear.
If this works for you, a "Thanks" button press is very much appreciated.

Chinese ROM doesn't have it installed so no need to uninstall it. Just run Google installer v3, set contacts permission and it works fine.

If I remember it does. That however may be the dev rom as I only set up the stock room once while I set up the dev rom multiple times. Dev rom install of contacts sync will fail.
Install Google installer v3 APK, let it install and go to contacts permission in settings and tick them all, job done - this has helped. Thank you!
not sure what the problem is, followed this guide to a T and still can't get contacts to show up in my google account to sync it. everything else like Gmail works no problem. i have every permission checked. i've uninstalled and reinstalled. i have the AOSP like sliders to turn things on after going to developer settings.
for some reason instead of contacts i get a people details sync but nothing for contacts will show up. so frustrating.
ok i wiped data and started from scratch and unfortunately same results. ****ing hell this never happened with original mi mix. i guess i'm stuck waiting for the 72 hours to be able to unlock unless anyone has other ideas.
EDIT - ------ FINALLY I got this working. the key is you have to downgrade the calendar sync app to 8.1 - it would not work with 9.0 for me for some reason. once i did this and followed the rest of your instructions it finally worked for me
Worked excellent in Mi 11 Pro! at 2022, I only wonder about what I'm losing by disbling the optimizations, but at the beginning it seems not a big deal... thanks!

Question Gmail notification not work

Hi,
the Gmail app don't notify me when a new email arrives.
The notification only arrives when I start the app. If I close it, no notifications is sent to me.
I remove app gmail with xiamitool, reinstall gmail and delete data, but i have same problem.
In battery optimization setting gmail not show, is normally?
Miui 12.0.5.
Mine works, I'm using the default installation of Gmail, I removed some apps with ADB but not Gmail and I'm not rooted or anything. The only thing I've changed regarding the battery optimisation is for LastPass password manager

miui 12.0.5 EU ? or Global? initially worked for me too...
Look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gmail-no-notifications.4264415/
To disable Powersaving:
1. Open Settings from the Home Screen
2. Select Battery & Performance
3. Go to Settings (top right)
4. Select "App-Powersaving" (the last entry)
5. Choose "Show system apps" in the top right menu
6. Choose "Gmail" and "Google" one by one and set "no restrictions"
7. Reboot
This worked for me
