Google Apps Users

If you're a Google Apps user that's been SOL on using such things as Google Voice on your Captivate...
Login to your Dashboard on your Google Apps account, and then paste this link into your browser:
https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain.com/GoogleAccountUpgrade
Replace domain.com with your domain.
It should launch a wizard to convert your Google Apps account to utilize such services!

Pretty much.
There's still some services that Google hasn't converted over but alot of their "big" ones are now Google Apps compatible.

I think Google is supposed to send you an email when it is time for your upgrade. If you have a normal Google account with the same email address as the Google apps one then you must change it or they conflict after the upgrade has finished. You can request to have your Google voice information move from the old Google account (now renamed) to your converted Google apps account when finished. The only things you can't login using Google apps is buzz, youtube, and a few misc items. Beyod that syncing works as expected all around on the phone.

So being able to use Google voice works ok..I wa just getting used to sending text with it on my Hero and really like that feature..

[Q] Anyone got working calendar on 4.4 ?

I have the 11/22 driver (update 5) on the Infuse and I cannot get past the authentication screen for calendar.
After I plug in my uid/pw it says "Couldn't sign in". This must be a default message for something because when I test with an invalid credential it simply says bad uid/pw.
Does anyone have a working calendar on 4.4 ?

I had a similar problem. I downloaded the google calendar from the play store though and it seems to be working fine.

fixed by replacement

Thanks !
It seems that the calendar application included in gapps (green grid icon) does not work . I disabled it and downloaded the calendar application from Google:good: play (blue page folding icon) which worked without setup.
Google must have switched the application and we are still flashing with a wrong gapps.:good:

that green icon calendar is the stock android aosp calendar app. its not part of gapps, though you used to be able sync your google account with it. i dont know if you still can because they killed off google sync a while back. its still needed for other things like exchange accounts. google released a dedicated google calendar app like a year or so ago so you should use that anyways.

Thanks

If the AOSP calendar is uninstalled and the blue Google calendar installed will calendar on lock screen function properly? I'm not on 4.4 yet but just curious. Thanks!

Using a Nubia X without GApps

What are the possible replacements for google services?
Aptoide/Yalp store as replacement for play store?
If it works, I guess installing youtube, maps, etc. from either store should work? Or not?
Or we can find alternative apps thatbwork like youtube, gmaps, etc. anyway
How about retrieving contacts saved in google account? Can i retrieve them using browser logged in my google account? How to import into phone?
Users of Apps/games that require google login like pubg should use alternative logins now. Will it work?
What are the all the requirements for degooglefied phone like nubia x?

Hi,
I'm using one phone like that, until some solution for the google services is found.
It's a bit uncomfortable, but it's working. In anther one post I have uploaded a picture how it looks like.
Here is the answers of your questions:

YouTube app generally working, but closes when cant find the google services. Anyway I'm watching the videos from the browser.
Maps - you can install Chrome and then pin it to the home screen. Works like charm.
You can install Mesanger, WatsApp, Viber, Skype - they work.

With PUBG I had some issues installing it because except the apk has obb, may be I'll try later when I have some time. Fortnite is working like charm. Even with the back screen two additional buttons is like a cheat.
Things which I could not solve until now:
- Outlook cant import o365 mail hosted by GoDaddy.
- It seems that, a lot of applications rely on google services for the push notifications. If the app (let say Viber) is not running, you may not have popup notification on the lock screen. (If anyone knows how to solve that I'll be happy)
So, that's all. At the end you can live with the phone. I'm happy with it.
I hope that answers your question. If you have other questions - let me know

How about updating/syncing contacts? I mean after retrieving them and i added a new contact entry. How do i update/sync that contact into google?
And for photos? Do i have to manually backup to pc or cloud since there's no google photos and no google drive?
Any other concerns i might have forgotten?
Edit:
Link to this thread you mentioned?

I used aptoide - the only google apps that seems to work is Google Chrome Browser and gmaps. youtube did not work through aptoide as didn't all the other google apps i tried. I placed a youtube home page using the chrome broswer on the desktop. Whatsapp apk i downloaded from their official website and installed working fine. When I downloaded whatsapp through aptoide and the chinese market app it won't work and keeps saying date and time is not right even though it is - maybe because its not chinese date and time?
For Contacts i opened my pc with chrome broswer and downloaded the contacts VCARD which you can do and placed in root folder of Nubia X - picked all my contacts up - I'm not sure how to sync though to google accounts as you cant add a google account through the phone unless you root as per other posts.
Pretty silly how they just didn't let you install gapps without root - i buy a lot of chinese phones and its the standard now even if google isnt preinstalled - its been a long time since I've seen a phone that doesn't let you install gapps yourself if you want too even though they dont support it. I'm finding it hard to use the phone and it will probably end up in a drawer for a few months until the international rom is released with google. Its annoying, even switching the phone off the voice assistant starts in Chinese and i want to get rid of this.
I've deleted practically all the bloatware, yet can't get music player to detect music i placed in the music folder.
Should have done my reading before hand but oh well... I got it for less than £495 from geekbuying 128gb version but should have waited out for the international rom version
Most of my good apps I downloaded through the Amazon App Store which is also working so I have 3 markets on my phone at the moment.

Does someone who does not have Google services, what apps do they use?

Hello, due to a mistake of mine I have run out of Google services.
Until I can replace them again since Eloy's tutorial in step-1 does not work for me ...
What apps do you use?
I have downloaded Petal Search to install apps, but I have encountered a problem:
I have installed a browser, Chrome or Firefox and they do not connect me: certificate problems and someone impersonating my identity is trying to connect.
Does this happen to you?
If you have any paid app in the Play Store, isn't the subscription worth the apk?
How do you know if there are app updates?
Thank you.

Thanks, it seems like a good alternative.
The problem I see is that some apps that I frequently use depend on, for example, Google maps, or some Google services and I couldn't use them, I would probably have to do it through the web browser.
By the way, I wanted to install Chrome or Firefox, and both were showing me certificate errors and 'someone malicious was trying to attack me'. And I have seen the Huawei native browser doesn't work very well for me. Do you or anyone ever use it correctly?

Is Aurora a safe store? I comment on it because it is a way of downloading an apk file, and if I download apks from there without being previously analyzed, my fear is for having malware.

Cannot login in the apps with google services on phone

I have google play working on my phone (or at least I think so ) and the google maps stopped working a while ago, they were working before, the app closes.
But I can still get in to the playstore and download apps there, the problem is when I go to the app downloaded I have to login or create account and it says that I don't have google play services and I can't login or create accounts ( so I cannot use the app).
Any ideas or tips in what I should do? I love this phone and I would like to love it more! Any comments are really useful thanks:laugh:.

Looks like you simply blocked those annoying notifications from Google Play services. Redo the process of gms installation. This time make it properly, you shouldn't see notifications from past services.
You don't need to start from scratch, use Googlefier and Fix option.
