I don't have the line you showed. I only have this one;
<shared-user name="android.uid.shared" userId="10007">
Should I delete this one instead?
When installing from market, it says this
"Incompatible with other applications using same shared user ID"

Working great....thanks Leo !!!

Remove Chinese in Apps

Anybody knows, how can we remove chinese words in apps like phone dialer, U Health, GT Browser?
Can we find all apps in english?
Can we use Z1 international apps in our device?

You can delete most of them and replace with Play Store apps.

I deleted the browser and replaced with Chrome. The dialer is fine with me.

@OP
For me the ultimate solution would be either installing a custom Rom or if/when Lenovo release a global Stock Rom.

Problem solved. It's a modified version of the system, these apps have been removed and when installing them manually they didn't work.
You can install the original ROM, without having to root or anything, just google for '[HOWTO] Flash a Stock ZUI ROM (ZUK Z2 Pro Z2121 only!)', should be the first result.
make sure to use method 2, method 1 won't work, put the downloaded files in folders with short names on C:\ and don't use space or any symbols in the folder names. Also download the files from the link of the second method, not the first one, the password for the archive is
club.lenovo.com.cn

The system will be in chinese, with english available (for english language go to settings, then the option with the cog symbol, then second option, then first option), the translation for other languages were horrible anyway. You will have the newest version of the software with all the app, including U-Health etc. You will also be able to get future updates on the phone itself, which isn't possible with the 'international ROM'. Also stuff like permission manager will work, but you have to install the google apps yourself, which is very easy after googling for a tutorial.

Thank you.
I did it and my phone works. Beautiful.
On the other, only a question.
When I try to check if there is a new upgrade a message appears in my mobile.
The message said: Your mobile has been root, isn't available upgrade.
Do you know if the mobile is rooted when you do the flashing with the method that you posted.
Thanks advanced.

Why these chinese manufacturer put Chinese on their devices even on international model.
Very frustrating.

I don't get that message, for me it just says 'No Update available' and Rootchecker also says, that I don't have root access.
Maybe the shop you bought it from rooted it? You could try unrooting it.
Also when you want to update with the System Update app, you need to be connected to a chinese VPN

If the shop rooted it then it likely has a reseller ROM.

[Root] How to make ARCore work on Vince

!!ATTENTION!!
As Google recently changed how the device_profile files are located, these steps below do NOT work anymore. There are only two options you can choose from which you can follow and read about here
#I'll not be responsible for anything that happens to your device when you follow these steps#
If you don't know what ARCore is read this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARCore
After you understand what ARCore is for then continue reading.
@Arnova8G2 has made a flashable zip with support for our device.
AR Stickers download https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Uvspxje-myBIKIeDHfgMpZ4Uv_o5ZFYL
Installation steps:
1. Install original arcore linked below
2. Reboot to TWRP
3. Install twrp-Patch-ARcore-for-all-device.zip
4. Reboot to system
Zip download here. This method is still under testing, so the original method is still shown below.
Step 1. Download ARCore from here https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...se/arcore-1-4-180716096-android-apk-download/
Step 2. Install an app that use ARCore. If you're lazy, you can use this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-creative-lab/just-a-line-draw-anywhere-with-ar/
Step 3. Open the app you installed in step 2 and let it crash. This will make the folders and files that we're going to use later on.
Step 4. Download the file named device_profile_vince.textproto.txt at the end of this post and rename the file to device_profile_vince.textproto
Step 5. Using root explorer, copy the file you just renamed to /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database2 and change SE context by selecting the file you just copied and press the three dots. Then select Restore default context and then press OK.
Step 6. Now you can use any apps that require ARCore!:victory:
NOTE: If you updated ARCore repeat step 3 to step 5
Tested on my vince running AEX and havoc os with omnivision sensor

Not really necessary anymore as we've Arnova8G2's flashable zip but I'll keep it here anyways
During the steps above, you probably saw a bunch of files in /data/data/com.google.ar.core/files/device_profile_database. One file is for one device or another variant of the same device. These files come from the manufacturers or Google themselves for the devices that officially ARCore.
Unfortunately, vince, like a lot of other devices, don't officially support ARCore, so some of these files maybe more compatible with vince but I don't have time to test them all. So if anybody have extra time, you can help me find out which one of these files is best suited for our device. You just have to rename the file you want to test to device_profile_vince_.textproto(the _ is to make sure you don't accidentally replace the original device_profile_vince.textproto file) and rename the original device_profile_vince.textproto to device_profile_vince.textproto.bak
If you believe you've found a file that's better than the one on the OP, then please tag me and post the file name in this thread and I'll test it to see if it's better before adding it to the OP

FAQ:
Q:Why (insert app name) can't detect surface?
A:Find a surface that's not shiny or white color. Surfaces that are textured and have sufficient lighting can help. Sometimes a reboot can help too
Q:Why can't I install all apps that use ARCore in play store?
A:They're supposed to be only for devices that officially support ARCore. If you want to use them on vince, download using apkmirror
Q:Why ARCore still isn't working on MIUI even after I followed all the steps?
A:This could be because that MIUI is heavily modified from stock Android so a lot of things aren't working on it.
Q:Why isn't AR Stickers working?
A:Use this version Download, (MIRROR). Thanks to @Arnova8G2 for this

Hi.
Thank you for your hard work.

All apps that use ARCore should work except for ARStickers, which you've to use the one linked in the FAQ. It's the only app so far I tested that needs to be modded to work.

Deer developer tried every step describe by you on miui costum rom wash n dish by Jerome-X but not worked any AR core based software always it is saying that device is not supported check the screen shots.

I wish Venice could support the AR core
Really good work done by you to enable this feature.
May be I am getting error due to miui

Mhhh... Weird.
I must wait 110 hours until unlock my bootloader... Damn.
Anyway.
I developed some app with Google tango.
And yes, the problem can be the Android version also.
Arcore works on few models with Android nougat. If you use a smooth vanilla 8.0 it can works (maybe).
If someone wants to try, please, try this app (now I can't because the bootloader),

Now I got it that I have android 7.0 and AR core works good on android 8.0

Does not work with dotos.... why?
i followed exactly the guide...

Hmm, that's weird, it should work for nougat ROMs too. Maybe because MIUi is heavily modified

Yes I followed the instructions, and all the app (I tested 3 app) does not work (included the area stickers and yours in the guide).

Huawei Beta Health App: New faces and links (if you can get it to work)

Hi all, not sure if anyone has seen this yet but over on the Chinese Huawei site (Pollen Club) they have the Beta Health app and they are already playing with new watch faces.
First you need to create a Chinese Huawei ID (use the bottom link to get a SMS code via a Chinese number), Log into it on your phone.
Uninstall your current health app and install the beta version, open it and connect the watch..
Create a face (Via the Guide link) and add it to DCIM via the hi suite desktop.
Open the new beta app, click "watch faces" and you'll see a + in the top right, scroll down to "Files" and then DCIM and select the face.
go back and select "mine" and its in there. You can then log out of the Chinese profile and back into your own and the newly added face is there.
Beta health app APK:
https://obs.cn-north-1.myhwclouds.c...d7ab524da/HiHealthApp9.0.5.305-china-beta.rar
What it should look like:

no luck to create Chinese ID, too many use of Chinese ph nbr with the link you provided

Watch cannot connect
Hi,
I installed the beta application but now Huawei Health Beta cannot connect with the watch.
I tried uninstalling the application to go back to earlier version and seems like it is also not possible.
Anyone facing the same problem? any solutions for this?

Same here. Beta app can see the watch and asking for pairing request but the watch doesn't see the request.

Does anyone know if it is possible to go back to the old version? I tried installing through a downloaded package and it returns error "Application installation failed" .

Hi English is not my first language, I want to know what do you mean by "Log into it on your phone".

no issue to pair watch and phone with Huawei app beta. my only issue is I can't create a Chinese ID... without that huawei app no showing the "+" button to address watchface..

I created a Chinese ID, logged in, spied Watch GT Active and can not see + in my face in the Health app

does anyone have newer version of health app because the 9.0.5.305 version does not work for me. When I select the watchface and want to upload, it does nothing. I updated the version to newer /I think it was 9.0.5.313/ and it worked fine. Today the app updated to 9.0.6.322 and the + sign dissapeared. So I would like to try 9.0.5.313 and see if it works. Does anyone have this one?

Where did you get the 313 version of the application?

I did not get the 9.0.5.313 app. I just assume that after the 305 version was another one. Because I updated it on the phone. But I forgot to take note what version it was. And I browsed some forums and saw that there was Health_9.0.5.313-wearBeta.apk so I assume this might be the one I had.. The new version 9.0.6.322 does not have the + button to add custom watch faces

just received app update to 9.0.6.429 and new firmware 1.0.9.2

You can register with your phone number.
https://hwid1.vmall.com/CAS/portal/userRegister/regbyphone.html

To see + you must use only .305 apk beta do not update.
And wathfaces files must be outside of download folder, Best on root of your phone.
But it is very hard to create Chinese account at lest for me didnt worked.

You must put watchface outside of download folder

I have registered for an ID using the attached links to chinese numbers, i tried several before it would work and i used the email register rather than phone register.
Once you setup the ID download the beta app and do not update as the + sign will disappear, once you find the watch face you like, you need to push the .hwt file to your phone and place it in the DCIM folder, press the + sign and then this will install the new face.

Huawei Health mod: i can't install

Hello everyone and well found.
After uninstalling official Huawei Health and restarting the P30, after enabling the installation of apps from third parties, I tried to install some versions of Huawei Health mod, the latest of which: "HealthMod v.12.0.7.360", both with the standard Huawei android installer and with the "SAI" third party package installer, but I get the error:
"App not installed
A newer version of this package is already installed "​
What did I do wrong or forgot? How can I solve? Maybe root is needed?
Greetings . . .
