[Q] Bug or Feature ?

Hi folks,
I'm not sure if found a bug or a feature ... however ... since the integration of SuperSU into any custom rom (CM 12 / Liquid Smooth / PA) based on Lollipop, I'm not able to install more then 8 apps alongside Google Play (sd-card / LAN / USB). Exactly after the 8th app installation the "install now" button isn't pressable anymore. The button is not grayed out or something, it simply doesn't react on pressing. Also when i use apps that needs root access, the question from SuperSU appears, but the "grant" button does not react after the 8th attempt. My internal card has 22 GB free, so that's not the cause i think. I've checked all the system security options for a suspect option, but i haven't found anything yet. Installations via Google Play works fine anyway. Under KK based roms there is no such a strange thing, and as i mentioned above, this was after the integration of SuperSU in LL based roms. Does anyone have an idea what it could be ? ...
sincerely,
LP

OK it's solved. Only deinstalling of Lux doesn't helped. I've installed the latest CM12 (from Today) and in addition the latest SuperSU (2.38). That's worked.
Thx a lot for yours help ! :victory:

Anyone got ARCore working on this phone?

As we already know our phone doesn't support ARCore but there's a way to enable it on unsupported phones here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ar/
Even tho I did what it said there I couldn't get it to work and every time I open an AR App or I try to open the Playground the app crashes. Did anyone manage to get this work on our device? If yes how?
Might work on custom ROMs but I'm interested in the stock PIE ROM.
Thanks!

Have the same problem. Did everything they said on the site. AR+ option enabled on pokemon go, but whenever I tried to use it, the screen went dark and crashes.

Would be nice if someone says that is able to use arcore right now in this phone. I wonder if it got patched

I know you said that you're interested in stock ROM, but that's the thread that pops up when people google anything related to ARCore and Mi A2 Lite, so I'm here to let everybody know that I got ARCore working on this phone using custom ROM called Pixel Experience. Every AR app I tried works except for Playgound. You can find it here on xda-developers. I couldn't reproduce these effects on stock ROM.

arcore enabler on magisk and voilá! (i recommend use the 1.5v zip file, the 1.6v crashes safety net!)

It doesn't work. Every time i open Playground app or any other AR app it crashes.
I did everything - Magisk+ arcoreenabler(both version 1.5 and 1.6) and installing Arcore and Playground app.
I'm on Pie stock.
Any help?

I'm also trying to get ARCore working on my A2 Lite but still nothing... I want to install the Measure app, which needs ARCore, but every time I try to open, it crashes. Has anyone found a solution?

For a while I was able to run ARcore following these institutions, but at the time my device was on Android 8 but now after I have upgraded to Android 9 it doesn't work at all.

Right now I'm using an GSI version of android 10 for our device and all AR apps including gcam playground are working fine(maybe a little bit laggy in playground camera, but maybe it depends on which version of gcam you are using) Maybe these days if i have some free time ,i'll reflash stock rom and look for a solution

I installed the pixel experience rom but it still didn't work.

Guys, I made it work at june 19. I forgot to share here. Everything relationed to ARcore was working, even playground. My response is in this thread for whoever got the same issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/arcore-support-mi-a2-t3900879

Hey there, I remember I had got ARCore working A2 Lite. After flashing the module through Magisk, you need to install the ARCore app from PlayStore from here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.ar.core
It should work afterwards, but Pokemon might not work, as they check for rooted/unlocked devices to prevent cheating.

You just have to go to "magisk hide" inside magisk app and add pokemon go in there

Arcore is working!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'll explain it to you very simple. Tell me if you don't understand me or if you want an explaination with detail.
(Continue at your own risk. I don't have any responsibility for bricked devices in case you don't know what you are doing!!!)
1: Downgrate your android device to the latest version of android oreo(8.1.0).
2: Root your android.
3: Install Magisk Manager.
4: Download and install the magisk module "ArCore/Playground Patcher".
5: Use a terminal emulator to enable camera2 api.
6: Install google camera port for mi a2 lite (or mi a2 if your device is a mi a2).
Done! Now you can play any ar game or install ArStickers for Google Camera(Ar Stickers is an older version of Playground for android 8)
Warning: Google Camera may crash when you are in Video mode or Photo mode but everything else works (including ArStickers)
Also let me know if it worked.

Xiaomi EU (MIUI) Update and Google Maps

I have recently updated my operating system to the latest stable by Xiaomi EU (by updated, I mean I have wiped and fresh installed the latest one).
All is well however the official Google Maps app is "not compatible with your device" now in the Play Store.
All other apps install just fine along with some other Google apps I use like Translate.
Does anyone know why this has happened?
I have also wiped and fresh installed previous versions of the Xiaomi EU builds in an effort to get this working but no luck.....Weird because it no longer works on builds it HAS previously worked on..
Thanks for reading, and thank you in advance for any feedback.

It seems a Google bug affecting chiron. Just change device's fingerprints. I choose Pixel 2, but you can use Mi Mix 2s, as you wish. You should be able to update or install Google Maps.

You are awesome, thank you.
Kinda unfortunate about the bug, means no matter what ROM we use it's gonna be the same. Hopefully they fix soon.

I have the same issue... but help, how to change device's fingerprints?

I just checked the play store and the bug seems to be fixed!
If you still have the issue, download a build.prop editor and change the device's build.prop file.
You'll need to change the parts which state the model of the phone for example "device name: chiron"
By changing this to something like "Polaris" (Mix 2s) instead of "chiron" it will trick Google.
Edit: You will need to be rooted. And I recommend BuildProp Editor by JRummy Apps

It's solved!

Right now, 9.3.28 (beta) but this was a Google issue, not a ROM issue.

Search in settings not working

Hello,
Just installed LineageOS 18.1 (scorpio) + Google apps and noticed that the search in settings doesn't work at all. I can type words in there, but they are never found. Any clues?
TIA

Works fine here, LOS18 on X00TD, YTX703L and s5neolte without GApps.
To find the culprit: Did you try copy-paste (instead of typing)? Re-install? Or get rid of Google, just try vanilla LOS (even though that worked with GApps for me some weeks ago for S5Neo).
edit: Perhaps some older version would work?

Hello,
I typed the words in. not copy/paste. Tried with boath Google keyboard and swiftkey. Also tried to clear Settings app data. None worked. I don't want to downgrade because I need Android 11.

Sure but just to rule that out... Perhaps just another previous nightly would do it?
