well i flashed my s3 and didn't have that app backed up and wasn't able to get the app back on my phone through the play store because our phone is not officially supported...but then i found the newest .apk that worked after install again....and now all of a sudden it wont work and brings up a message that says you need to update to the latest software to use....was wondering if someone had another phone they could install and extract the apk from so i can install it....i don't have another phone to do it with....

SuperJ, you rock! :highfive:
Thanks for the apk. It's just what I was looking for.
If you notice any future updates in Google Play, could you post the new apk?

Actually, I just checked Google Play and it says there's a new version: 1.3.5.
Release Notes:
What's in this version:
• Increased handset support, including Samsung Galaxy SIII, Admire, Droid Charge, HTC EVO Shift 4G, T-Mobile myTouch 4G and Motorola Droid 2
• Improved card reader reliability
• Resolved crashing issues with Galaxy Note
• Various bug fixes
Google Play
Either way, I'm sure this is a big improvement over the 1.0 apk I found previously.

good Call!
Because Paypal are jerks. I can't download the app from Play (phone not compatible) but it runs fine on my Xperia Go when I manually install the .apk.
I emailed Paypal and their response is "it's Google's fault for allowing different versions of Android and they can't be bothered to make it universal" and I got the feeling they prefer Apple's iPhones.
Just my (never) humble opinion.

The latest release is 2.2.0, July 17, 2014. Supposedly available here http://www.1mobile.com/paypal-here-370914.html but what you download is NOT the PayPal Here apk. It appears to be a downloader app and who knows what kind of crap that could contain.
I don't put up with baloney like that on a PC, nor will I on a phone. Direct link to the actual APK thankyouverymuch!
I want it for my Galaxy Tab 3 tri-band on Sprint. I sideloaded the previous version on my sister's identical GT3, didn't work but yesterday it updated itself and works. She swiped her card through the reader and sent me $1. Store still says not compatible!
So I sideloaded that same APK onto my GT3 and I'm waiting, still waiting. No self update to 2.2.0.
Here is the latest 2.2.0. Works fine on my Nexus 7 2012, however the card reader does not work, its a hardware limitation and will never work.

Yesterday I used Titanium Backup to back up the PayPal Here 2.2.0 APK from my Photon Q and copied it to a desktop. Then I plugged the Galaxy Tab 3 into teh desktop to copy the APK to it so I could use ES Explorer to install it.
Still no joy. PPH refused to login because it could not see that I had location enabled. But when I toggled location off then back on, PPH would login.
The card reader should work on my GT3 tri band because it works on my sister's GT3 tri band, both on Sprint.
Thanks for posting the latest APK so people who can't get it at all will be able to, to try on their "not supported" devices to e if it actually will work.
Would you update your device to fix the Stagefright? Or would skip the update because you want root? Let's hope the current root trick works on this one.
Full build no. G920PVPU2BOGA.

This issues has been around for awhile so i would wait to see what the developers do
I'm not rooted so I just downloaded this 53mb update and it's applying now. Actually advises that it's a security fix for Stagefright and nothing else. It has finished applying in the time I've been typing this and just rebooted, but it has to go through the app optimizing. It jumped up to 224 of 348 quick enough, but the time consuming wait for the rest of them. Tick, tock...
Downloaded and am installing now.
I installed this update did not notice anything else changed. For some reason the s6 stagefright fix was only around 50MB while the S5 was close to 300MB, and the only thing claimed to be fixed in the s5 release notes was the same thing.
Updated, and screw root. Phone good enough to not need it.

What he ^^^^^ said!
Can someone give me an fast link to the OGA G920P or G925P firmware please? Or to the OTA zip.
So that I can rip the fixed stagefright lib files from it for my ROM.
Getting 1.2gb system RAM usage after the update. Hoping it's a tiny fix, it's a relief to have 600MB more free to do what I want with, was getting 1.8/1.9GB system ram usage before update.
Will post update in a few hours to see if this is still true.
Any root for it yet guys?

So I was looking up where to get the kernel source code for the new oga update and Samsung has not released it yet.. I was thinking of trying to learn how to make a kernel myself for root
I updated then flashed unikernel v6 0001 in odin and twrp and am now rooted on stock OGA , just wish i could remove carrieriq and itson.

Update then use odin to flash unikernel v6-0001 and then the twrp both here in xda forums. i did this and have full root with no issues.
Can someone (who have rooted OGA) upload all stagefright lib files in /system/lib & /system/lib64 folders for me please?
So that I can make an Stagefright flashable fix for all S6 models/firmwares.

Assuming the libs are the same for 920P and 925P, someone posted theirs for the 925P here.
edit - I don't know that they were rooted though.

Tried, went through Ok, but when got to phone the screen wouldn't work. Wouldn't register finger. Buttons worked though. Idk
You tried the update or changing kernel?

Hey Everyone!
I am at it again! I have made leaps today with my custom ROM.
It is not ready for release just yet but wanted to get a thread started for when it is ready, to get some opinions and further clarification.
Required:
1) Any G930 US Variant
2) Must be on the G930U PEH firmware prior to my ROM
3) Rooted with Flashfire
4) I highly recommend you know how to push apks. It will start out lightly debloated but will be extremely debloated by the time I finish!
What will it contain in v1?
1) Pre rooted
2) Debloated
3) Xposed
4) V4A
5) Might be missing stuff for v1, wait and see!
Suggestions?
Please post early suggestions below. They might not be considered for build 1 but will all beconsidered as we go.
Questions?
1) Maybe someone can chime in but to my knowledge the U firmware will work on any US variant S7? I am asking for clarification since my reasoning of using the U firmware is for it to be useable on all US variants to avoid having to develop for every variant separately (I dont have time for this.)

1. Will you provide links to or host a copy of the G930U PEH firmware?
2. I suppose that since this is the universal firmware, Verizon's Mobile Hotspot provisioning will not prevent us from using Native Mobile Hotspotting....can you confirm...and if not, can you apply a a modded version of the Mobile Hotspot software that bypasses the provisioning (similar to what psouza has done with his VZW debloat script for PE1)

2) his rom is in the vzw s7e forum
Is the goal here to remedy the battery life issues and CPU hangs that the eng boot/root process created? I'm excited!

The zips provided by psouza are for the PE1 build only. He mentioned somewhere in his thread that it has to be compiled for each build.

I recommend you check out my other rom threads to see what the goal is..
essentially I shoot for an extremely debloated rom which typically does include better speed and battery life but that is more of a side effect imo

Not necessarily. some of it does work.. ideally however i like to bake things in.. the less zips to flash the better.. i wont worry too much as i dont release roms that dont work well to begin with

The fix/fix+debloat zip that disable Verizon's Wi-Fi hotspot tethering provisioning does so by writing a modified framework-res.apk to the device, therefor it needs to match the firmware version. The patch is not complicated though (it's literally just changing/clearing two XML values), so anyone could decompile a different version, patch the xml, recompile, re-sign, and bundle that for any Verizon firmware version.

I can confirm the U firmware works flawlessly on a G930V. I have also flashed @jrkruse's PlayStore ROM on my G930V, and it works great!
@elliwigy, I have used your ROMs in the past. Needless to say, I'm excited to see you are making one for the Verizon S7!

I have the same problem too! I even tried to install google play service manually with latest apk files, but it doesn't work. Plus, I can't even use any google apps. Very frustrating. I tried to ask for help to the support, but they didn't care anything. Shame on Huawei, I would never buy Huawei devices anymore
I had the same issue, but I fixed it. The problem is my device came with Chinese firmware on it, which as you already know after the last update doesn't support Google services and all of the related apps.
The solution is to change your mediapad's firmware with no Chinese one. I downloaded mine from here: romfirmware.com/2017/08/03/huawei-mediapad-m2-8-0-m2-801w/
Definitely works. Wish you luck!
P.S. Bear in mind that you will loose all of your personal data and installed apps doing so. I recommend to backup your entire device and later to try to restore it on the new firmware - it is not so easy in my case but in the end it worked.

Thank you so much for the information. I'm going to try this way
No Google
Yep I got the same problem. Update stopped google working.
I side loaded some things but Chrome worked for a short period and then stopped working again. I tied Opera and it was fine so only a Google thing.
I then attempted to flash older firmware and did something wrong as I completely hard-bricked my device. Fastboot mode works but no other mode works. I'll be posting a 'help please' elsewhere in the forums. Very f'ed off about it, but the downsides of buying off AliExpress, it's going to be Chinese firmware. Might go buy a Samsung form the shop down the road (sigh).
I updated to B217 and have the same problem that all Google things stop working.
After hours of searching I have successfully downgrade my M2-801W from B217 (EMUI 4, Android 6) to B019 (EMUI 3, Android 5).
Now all Google things work fine as before.
I will post the guide and the necessary files soon.

Can you share how you did it? I'm not too familiar with the process. Thanks
Hey guys,
I currently have a OP5 and I always root my devices to get flawless Adblocking, theming, and google feed on OP launcher. Are these already possible on the OP7T or do we have to wait for an official TWRP? if It's possible is it safe to do?
Yeah, it is safe to do. I just got mine yesterday and fully rooted it. The best and safest tutorial is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81277507&postcount=613
If you just use any patched boot.img you'll find, it could be the wrong version (there is Europe, Global and Indian) or maybe a wrong OOS version. The safest way is to extract the boot.img yourself and let Magisk Manager patch it. These steps are very easy and took me not even 10 minutes. Also you can keep root if you're doing an OTA update. Just be sure to not reboot once it prompts you and to tell the Magisk Manager to install Magisk on the inactive slot.
Blokada does great adblocking without the need of root, as for theming and what not, I suppose you would wanna root, which isnt too hard to do

I shifted from OP5T to OP7T 4 months back, the rooting seems little different here coz of no TWRP. But there are no issues. Everything works flawless and easy like OP5.
Dont buy it you will regret your decision if you are custom rom lover
For Adblocking you do not need root. Using private DNS is enought

Adways works, adblock through xposed also works, google feed through magisk works, through xposed also works. Substratum theming also works flawless.
Few Screenshots are attached.
Guys, on a side note on rooting. Are you all able to use your banking sites? I'm told they don't work well on a rooted phone
Thanks

Thank you Aswin and thank you all.
So to sum it up, everything I can do with my OP5, already works perfectly as long as I am good with tinkering my device and follow good tutorials. Except for installing ROMs which still requires TWRP to be fully compatible.
I guess I'll get it as soon as the prices go down in my country.

You can install ROMS now too, but not simple to switch between ROMs often. Since data including internal is completely erased everytime u switch ROM

That is not device specific. So far no issues with banking apps.
But according Root developer, Google is implementing new changes where it maybe possible for issues with few banking apps, some can be still spoofed to work properly. But that is not device specific.

I too have a 7T using it in the states on Verizon. I know its been asked a million times. What would I gain from being rooted?
Thanks

If you don't know, then rooting probably isn't for you. Now a days, root is becoming less and less required for certain tasks and used to be required in the days of old. When you start finding things that you're wanting to fix on the device (For me it was a proper AOD) then root might start to come up for you. But you're right, if you don't have a good reason for root, I wouldn't. I would at least leave the door open should you need/want it later.

"Back in the day" (PDA phones), I use to flash everything that came along. Same with my first few android phones, but now, I don't even bother. Stock roms are "good enough", and my phone is just a work tool. End of the day, I'm too tired to bother using it unless someone actually calls me LOL.
I'm not a total novice to rooting. When I had my Samsung Note 4, probably the last Samsung able to root easily, I was rooted. After the Note 4 I got the Note 5, then Pixel 2xl. I never felt the need with the 2xl, so I guess with the 7T I may stay stock. It's quite a phone. I do miss the pictures from the Pixel but besides that nothing else. I'm entertaining looking at the 8 pro.

also on Verizon, received my 7T, from OnePlus, on Friday, activated/unlocked/rooted on Saturday.
You gain Titanium, AdAway, AFWall+, All-in-one Toolbox, and Root Browser to access system files.

Whoa, pretty fast.
Now that you have root, what are "things" that your doing to make the phone "better. I'm purely into performance. What will it do for me?

I'm satisfied with Oxygen OS and not really interested in ROMs for now. My concern is with pre-installed apps, ad blocking, apps “phoning home”, and what's running in the background.
Titanium to freeze 7 Google apps & two others that came with the phone and can't be uninstalled, as well as 3 apps that I very rarely use but don't want to download/reinstall/set up when I do need them. In addition to sending scheduled backups to One Drive
AdAway needs root to replace the hosts file and blocks apps & browsers from reaching pretty much every ad server
App Ops to prevent apps from running at startup
Servicely to disable unnecessary background services
AFWall as a firewall to prevent apps from accessing the internet
Root Browser simply because I dislike having anything on my phone that I can't access
Since you're “purely into performance” you'll need to root in order to install tweakable custom kernels when they become available

For Adblocking you do not need root. Using private DNS is enought
