MIUI for Beginners​
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

it's extremely easy.. just copy it to your SD card.. and flash it just like a normal ROM.. but it has to be flashed after the Android ROM..
1) copy it along with the ROM to your SD card
2) flash the ROM
3) flash the patch
4) enjoy

I get force closes with theme manager when trying to apply any theme regardless of it being new or old. Clean install too.
Edit:
Found that after applying a theme and it force closes, to see theme go to settings, personal, and enable/disable custom toggles and it'll work.
Actually, apply each separate theme one by one. They'll all force close but it'll go through when you enable/disable the custom toggles.

HI
Do i need to partition my sd card?

got ouya on fire tv, but can't install telling me enable unknown sources

So in another thread it gives you the apk files needed to get the ouya launcher. I've gotten into the ouya store, but any game I try to download and install, complains that I need to enable "Unknown sources". My box is rooted which I thought automatically emulates "Unknown sources". I've seen the guy in the video run Bombsquad, and he mentions to "Enable Unknown sources". Anyone has this working, what needs to be done to get games to install and play on Ouya.

Need to go into Settings (from Original AFTV launcher) and System, then Developers Option and turn on Install from Unknown Sources.
If you have an earlier version of AFTV, then you need to do the SQLite method, do a search for it.

I had this same problem today...I coudlen't get the ADB commands to work...But I found out it's done via SQLITE editing ...so I did another solution
*buy* (or find) SQLIte Editor...(or an app that can edit SQL database files) and sideload it.
Download LanMote Lite from the play store(you need mouse support) and Sideload it. Once done RUN LanMote Lite and start the server (Free version is limited to 30 minutes so act quickly) On your HTML 5 device (preferrably a smartphone or tablet) [PC works but mouse is slow and wonky] connect to the same wifi as the FTV (if you didnt do it already) and open your web browser and put in the address LANMOTE will show on the FTV (example http://xx.xx.xx:9999) also enable different cursor.
Go to FTV home and go to settings>>APPLICATIONS >> your SQLITE editing program.
(in SQLITE Editor) Allow SU permisions and use your amazon remote (it works for simple navigation for now) to go to FILES TAB and go to
DATA>>>DATA>>>com.android.providers.settings >>SETTINGS.DB
go to the GLOBAL folder. You should see a list with different settings (BE CAREFUL)
(now this is where you need a mouse)
on your HTML 5 device (smartphone) go the MOUSE Tab and use the mouse pad to mouse near the entry that says INSTALL_NON_MARKET_APPS you will notice that default for this option is 0 (which means off/ disabled) Mouse over the 0 and tap the "click" button on your HTML device. you will notice the entire row becomes gray.
Use your Amazon Remote and click EDIT RECORD. cursor down to the 0 and change it to a 1
use your remote and scroll below it should give a CANCEL and SAVE button. Click save with the remote.
go back to home and enjoy sideloading unknown sources.

Philips Android TV

Hi Guy,
I recently buy a Android TV Philips PUS7909. It's an android tv based with 4.2.2 on board, unfortunatly Philips make the choice to block LOTS of android function...
I can't install unallowed apps, enabling dev mod....
I just want to know if someone here have this tv, or another philips android tv, and if someone can root it etc etc
Yes i know, it's not even christmas , but maybe someone can do amazing thing on android tv, specially on xda !

Hi,
I've a 48PFS8159 and could not find a way too.

My dream is the possibilty to install kodi/xbmc !
And something like Retroarch with the possibility to connect a dualshock

I too have a PUS7909/12 Android TV and I was disappointed by several things, one of them being unable to install most of Store apps. Rooting would be great as at least it would allow to install .apk files.

New update for this tv soon :
The new Firmware will soon be live.
AND1E_0.9.32.118 (Date published: 2014-11-21)
• HDMI EDID adaptions for Full HD <-> Ultra HD interoperability ( DISCONNECT HDMI cables before starting the upgrade)
• 3D fixes
Maybe we can do something with the update files.....

Should Philips provide the source code of its Android implementation? Are they under the obligation to provide it?

Hi,
I read one comment from Finnish netshop, it's for 55pus8809 model:
1. Install "Developer Tools" from play shop
2. Choose "Developer settings"
3. Switch developer options "on"
4. And "Show more apps in Google Play"
5. Reboot TV
Install "Set orientation" from play to orientation problems, switch "Landscapen" on.
I don't have Philips TV, but planning to buy one
Here is link to source, I don't know how it works...
verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/16035/dxskv/Philips-55PUS8809-55-Smart-Android-4K-Ultra-HD-3D-LED-televi#BVRRWidgetID
Lähetetty minun Nexus 5 laitteesta Tapatalkilla

I tried this, and it's true that some more apps are shown. Would be great to load apk files, but there is no "unknown sources" option...

I have the Philips 48PFS8109.
Developer options are enabled, but there is just no way to enable 'unknown sources'.
With the Google Search function the Settings options is not showing (it works on phones if you search settings)
Not a single application is compatible that gives me a shortcut to settings.
If i try to install an .apk file i get the message you need to go to settings and allow it. There is an Settings and Cancel, but if i press on settings nothing happens.
Does someone know a way to call up the settings menu with Therminal Emulator?
I already updated the tv but do you guys think its possible to just add an .apk file in the .upg file?
I can change the .upg to .zip and add an app in the system folder.

Hi,
that sounds good
I had a look into the updater-binary (firmware/manual/ambilight-fix update zip file) and the firmware is, as we already know, encrypted.
When you have a look with IDA Demo (hex-rays.com) you can see that the encryption key is taken from: "/res/keyfile.txt" which must remain somewhere on the TV.
AES-256-CBC is used and the key/IV is somehow, depends on the content of the keyfile.txt, MD5 sum of the content lines (e.g. one for key, one for IV).

O M F G
I was on vacation for two weeks and i don't check this topic and what the hell is going on !
What a surprise for me to see what you do here !
Thanks a lot guys !
-----EDIT-------
The method to allow unknow source and install apk via adb working, thank you !
Tryed to install xbmc/ kodi but the launch and just crash, so bad. But that sound good !
-----EDIT 2------
There is a bluetooth option..... i can't connect my dualshock 3 on the tv because we need root for sixaxis controller app..... let's go to install some emulator !
------EDIT 3------
So... After some test, i was able to connect the duaslhock 3 controller in usb, BUT not all touch is recognised. So i can't play Mario Bros on Retroarch. I think i need another controller.
Kodi v14 lastest nightly boot but crash at home screen.
That's all for the moment !

Someone have try to install a video player that can handle 4K files ?

I have the '48PFS8109/12' and tryed also some things.

- Kodi 14.0 “Helix” – RC 2 not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.
- Kodi 14.0 “Helix” – Nightly not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.

Can't sideload apps - Lumia 550

I've tried this guide, but t doesn't help. (yes .xap).
Head to Settings > Update & Recovery and tap on “For Developers“
You will find three options here. Choose the second one which lets you sideload apps from other sources.
Next, transfer/copy the appx file of the app to your Phone/SD Card storage.
Browse to the file via File Explorer, tap on the file and it will throw an install prompt.
If you really want to give it a try, tap Install else tap cancel.
If all goes well, you will find the app under the app list under 20 sec.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And this:
Head to Settings > Update & Recovery and tap on “For Developers“.
Under Device Portal, turn on remote diagnostics over USB and LAN connections.
You can either turn off Authentication or turn on it. Turning it off eases things a little bit.
After turning remote diagnostics On , It will provide an IP Address to connect to.
Enter that IP address either in W10 Mobile Edge browser or any PC Browser(depends on where you have appx to install). Make sure your phone is unlocked.
After authenticating to device portal page click Apps Section on the Top Left hand Side.
Under the Install App division Click Browse to select the Appx/Appxbundle you are about to install.
After adding the Appx/Appxbundle just Click “Go” button and that’s it.If all goes well you can find your app under app list.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That may be the problem?

You can't install xap by this way.
You must use
XapDeploy.exe from SDK 8.0 (xap 7.0, 7.1, 8.0)
or
AppDeploy.exe from SDK 8.1 (xap 8.1)

Thanks, now i'm happy

Unlock car multimedia system

I'm trying to find information about a multimedia system i have installed in my Skoda, the sticker on the device says CNT100, which is manufactured by CarNeTek (device page - https://www.carnetek.com.tw/products_detail/15.htm, not sure if they are the manufactures or just a reseller).
The company which sell and install it locally are not willing to share any information about the device, and of course are not willing to unlock it (to install applications from the play store, tweak configuration, etc.).
On the device there are 6 dip switches (which i couldn't figure out what they control), and no visible button (to get into recovery), i can get to the play store, and install applications - but as soon the installation is completed - they get uninstalled (there is a list of application that are not automatically uninstalled).
The launcher looks like a custom local version, there is no way to get into the settings page and the notification bar cannot be clicked (or dragged down), if i click multiple times on the menu - i get a dialog for some configuration, where i'm prompt for password (the dialog has a random number on it - which i suspect is used to generate correct password).
is anyone familiar with this device? or can suggest a way to unlock it?
(attached images of the device and the boot screen)

Hey mrtowel!
Trying to figure out that as well.
You said "if i click multiple times on the menu"
Where is this menu? possible to send a photo of that?

I'm talking about an Israeli version
Seems to be customized by [email protected]
sorry but i was wrong describing the way to get to the password dialog, on the home screen - there is a weather widget, showing the weather on the left side and the clock on the right side, multiple taps on the weather allows you to reboot the device, while multiple taps on the clock gets you to the password dialog.
I made some progress with the device - still working on getting it unlocked completely, let me know if you want more details.

Hey!
Just found that new to me. Pushed 6 times on the clock of the weather widget and got a prompt for the password. I receive a 9 digit number with that.
Also found that if you do the same on the temperature indication, you'll be prompt for device restart.
So that's a progress.
Anyways, I will be happy to hear from you, what progress you have made on this.
Will send you a PM.

try to get to app store (in case it is installed) through one of the installed apps using the 'rate us' option, you can also try and push a play store link through bluetooth, if it works - the android system will launch the play store app, and you'll be able to setup your account.
Once you get to the play store - download and install Googel app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&hl=en) this will let you ask google assistant to 'Open Display Settings' (in my case this option let me enable the drag down menu, where i could easily access the settings and other stuff).
hope that helps

?
Hey did you succeed?

please help
Hi
did any one of you had any success with getting into setting menu ?
i can get to google play...but as was posted before, everything i try to install immediately erase itself.....
does any one have the approved app list from ituran ?
i do believe that together we can crack this....
thanks

Thanks for the tips I've made it to download youtube! But how I can bypass the limit to install all apps from play store?
Also how can I cancel the restrictions of using apps during drive?
Thanks
Allon

Hey @mrtowel any change you can share some more details?
I tried connecting to the USB with my laptop to try doing some adb commands but it did not detect anything
I'm also wondering about the dip switch
and how to get the password bypass
Would really like to hear some more details if you can share please?

Just came here to see if can recall my steps from last time i played with the device (i kind of gave up, as it worked well with what there is, but recent update made it work really slow).
turns out there is a post on facebook (https://facebook.com/groups/gilcar/permalink/729881061134680/?comment_id=729883497801103), i'm going to try and build some utility to generate unlock codes (last time, i managed to get to an adb terminal, but i wasn't aware of the `pm hide` option to disable the installation blocker ****).
will post updates here if i get some progress

For anyone interested, attached the list of whitelisted apps. a jar to generate the code to enable tech mode and how i disabled the installation blocker
For the jar - you would need to get your device Wifi MAC address (see old post from 2019 on how to enable the navigation bar), which can be retrieved from the 'אודות' section. (run the jar by running 'java -jar codeGen_jar.jar 00:11:22:33:44:55' - replace the numbers with your device mac address)
Wifi must be enabled - before the next step
To get to the code, hit few clicks on the clock widget in the home screen would prompt you with a password (if the code generator matches your version of connect-it (if it isn't - see bypass admin mode workaround below), the codes would match), enter the unlock code (admin mode result from the codeGen output) and move to the apps section - you would see 'tech mode' application.
Wifi must be connected before the next step
On the tech mode application - you would have another code (tech mode result from the codeGen) enter it - and it would open a page to enable adb remote server (you must be connected to a wifi network to get it to work).
Connect to the adb using a remote shell from another device (or a laptop), to the specified IP on port 1917 (note that most mobile tethering options won't work due to networking limitations). If you don't have an accessible wifi network - see Wifi Workaround below
From adb, run the following:
to disable the application which blocks installations: pm hide com.ituran.installationblocker
Disable updates: pm hide com.ituran.systemupdateservice
Disable blocking applications while driving: pm hide com.ituran.driveusagemonitor
Tips:
While in admin mode, you can see all installed applications, and pin them to the start page of the home screen, recommend to pin Play Store app (as it is usually hidden)
Don't try to enable or enter 'Guest mode' (i tried it, and the device went into boot loop)
The codes generated are date sensitive, so either generate new ones if you won't use them in the same day, or change the device date.
Wifi Workaround : a workaround can be to install modified version of 'Remote ADB Shell' (attached) on the device, save it to your mobile phone, and push it to the device through bluetooth, this version is the same version as 'Remote ADB Shell' from the play store - only names 'Spotify' which will keep it installed on the device, after installation, run it and connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 1917 instead.
Bypass admin mode workaround : while Admin Mode enables you to view the hidden applications, in the above process, it mainly gives you the option to run the tech mode app. if the code for the admin mode isn't working for you, install 'Amaze file explorer' (attached - it was renamed to bypass the installation blocker) by pushing it through bluetooth.
You can find more details on this facebook post (not mine - but i used details from this thread to figure out how to disable the application from ADB)
Enjoy and drive safely.
