[Q] Can my apps still work if I remove google play store? - General Questions and Answers

I bought a ZTE V967s for one reason: to keep a portable listing of my home library with me so I don't keep buying duplicate books at sales. I rooted the phone and installed Max Flavour.
I'm wondering if I can download the few apps I need associated with my library software onto the sd card and then flash Max Flavour slim without gapps? The apps I need to run are not put out by Google.
Thanks for any help. I'm a very new newbie, but many thanks to Carliv for an excellent YouTube video that allowed me to root my phone!

yes all apps will work without playstore

Thank you
Thank you. Now I'm wondering if I can uninstall gapps, or if I need to re-flash the ROM without it?

You can uninstall using titanium backup and no need to reflash rom for gapps issue. If you need gapps, later you can install too

[Completed] [Q] Laser MID-741KID

We bought some cheap 7" tablets for our kids, as they'd been playing games on our TF300T and I wasn't getting a look in!
Google MID-741KID-PNK
On the TF300T, I was using the app "Kids Mode" by Zoodles to help manage their use i.e. blocked content, promotion of educational content, etc. I thought I'd be able to install that app and use it, but the tablet comes pre-installed with its own app which auto-launches on start up. The two aren't compatible so I've had to stick with the pre-installed app.
1. Is it possible to stop the pre-installed app from auto-loading and/or remove it? I'm not even sure where it is as it doesn't come up in the list of installed apps.
2. Could I try flashing a new ROM? No Laser devices come up on the XDA Forums though... so what would I use?
(current install - Android version 4.4.2, Baseband version Unknown, Kernel 3.0.36+ [email protected]_desktop #393 Mon Oct 21 2013, Build Number JDQ39)
Thanks!
Mark.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately there's zero development for Laser devices, which is a shame because they're awful and desperately need modification (got one for free when buying a laptop, it's collecting dust). As far as uninstalling pre-installed apps go, you usually can't without root access. It might be worth trying some of the root exploits that you can find in the root directory:
How To Root
If you have root you can use an app like Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall a pre-installed system app.
Thanks timmaaa, I'll give that a go. :good:
No problems, good luck!

[Completed] How to root an android device and get super su

Hi guys I know this is a very simple post but since I'm new to forums I thought I would just start with this.
So let's get straight to the point you will only need to download two apps to get root access and have ultimate control over your Android device these apps are all you need:
•Root all devices = I'm a new user and can't post links so just download in play store.
•Supersu =
I'm a new user and can't post links so just download in play store.
•And that's it all you need and if you guys want to help me code a exposed module contact me @0823254209 on whatsapp thank you.

rooting any android device will be different than rooting a certain device. every device differs, and they are made by different manufacturers. rooting a nexus will be different then rooting any samsung, for example.

Do these ROMs have the slight but constant micro-stuttering that the stock ROM has?
I guess all these ROMs are loaded with Google's stuff?
With the exception of Play Store I'd like to be free of the Google fleet of useless apps.
It's great that you've been able to port these ROMs. I hope a lot of people use them. I just have different needs! Tx.

Yes, all of them. You can "freeze" or delete unwanted Google apps. Do it manually or try to find scripts which can do this automatically.
Hi, I was thinking to buy this tablet.
Can these ROMs fix the issue of too high brightness even at the lowest level?
If not can you recommend a free application to solve the problem?
Better this or teclast m89 pro? Thanks.

To solved this brightness issue I use the sFilter app or any other blue light filter app.
But to tell the truth, I wouldn't recommend to buy any Teclast tablet. I have a problem where he doesn't accept the installation of Instagram or Facebook app. I saw that many people have the same problem.
Anyone else with this problem or know how to solve?

I added solution, check it and let me know if it works for u
It's possible to change brightness limits manually by editing firmware files, If there's a big problem for u and other users I can change its' range sometime. Just let me know what firmware u are using.
Hello dev!
Are you still working on this device firmware? I bought it this month and not even on official site could find updates for, so I don't know if there is any firmware that I should update before using these that you made...
I'm using Pixel Experience and found it great. But I had problems with the initial setup, which always had trouble trying to recover the configuration of another device. When I checked to set up as a new device it work fine.
I could not open Magisk too, but i wanted to disable it and remove, but always shows error when trying. I'll try MIUI in sequence to see if I can.
Another question: The modified Stock has gapps included? (and can I remove root?)
Thank you so much for your work, I was happy to know that have other firmware for this tablet.
PS.: sorry for the "google translator english", my english is poor. lol

I used the modified rom too and liked a lot, but I couldn't install some apps through the playstore and had problems to remove root (Magisk). So I installed ASUS ROM and it is very stable and everything is working great. I'll leave it and see what happens!
Thanks!

Hello!
1) There is no more firmwares to port for our device. Also I don't know much about modding firmwares, so Pixel was my first successful experiment.
2) Latest official firmware for our device is TOS v2.1 which can be found in appropriative thread here. Seems no more updates will be released for our device.
3) Restoring function is bad idea esp on custom ROM. You should always make clean installation.
4) Custom ROMs can only boot with root access (e.g. Magisk). You cant uninstall it. In other case your device wont boot (Android 7.0 classical issue). P.S Magisk is not like "classic" root, so you can "hide" it for apps that don't work on rooted device.
5) Of course stock ROM includes Gapps. All made changes are listed in topic. Root can'f be removed on any custom ROM (see p.4).

I gave the tablet to my son, the Stock ROM that came on it is'nt good and so I put the ASUS ZenUI ROM. (After testing all others)
I hide Magisk and the ROM is working perfectly.
Thank you so much for the great work.
Happy 2020.

ZTE Axon 10 Stock Music Player APK

Could someone please confirm whether the ZTE Axon 10 comes with a bundled music player (ZTE), not Google Music? If yes, could you please upload the APK? Looking for an upgrade to the stock player on the Axon 7.
Thank you in advance!
Mods: This is cross-posted in the Axon 9 section as well, Please delete if that's not per the rules.
Mine did not

I bought the Axon 10 Pro two months ago in Russia and it did not have a music player. Excluding Google Music. Maybe the newest phones have it?

And yes, you're right, I'm getting the 'problem parsing the package' error.
ADB push to system isn't working either without root.
PS: Tried using app cloner to clone the APK with the Axon 7's stock player fingerprint, but get the error
"Please select the original app, not a cloned app"
Guess will have to root my phone one of the days when I have the downtime. :/
Thanks for the APK though.

Can I replace Google Playstore with another version?

Hi. I have read that there is a lot of stuff that can be done with a rooted phone.
I rooted my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T), Baseband version G930TUVS9CSC1, Android version 8.0 (Oreo) with one of the guides I found here.
If I uninstall updates of the Playstore it goes down to version 10. I would like to have version 8 or lower. Is that even possible? Can I uninstall the current Playstore and install the one from Nougat for example? Do I have to replace the Google Play Services app too? Would it still work?
If it can be done, could someone please guide me on how to do it?
Thank you
You can flash any playstore app doesn't matter if you're rooted or not. It will replace the existing play store. No need to flash something else. You can find various versions of play store e.g. here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...2-android-apk-download/download/?forcebaseapk
