Google Play Icon Background - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have this problem where the applications's icons from the play store have a black background. Do you have any ideea why?

Sorry can you'll be more explicit please.
If I understand what you says, the background of the app icon's from play store is black, Correct.
Apparently, you're not alone in this case.
Try to clear data and reboot

The icon is not entirely black. Just the transparent part becomes black. I attached a picture of it.

Vidím že nie som jediný kto má tento problém, avšak na inom čínskom zariadení.
I see , lot's of china branded phones as Lenovo, Gsmart, Prestigio etc. running on android 4.2.1 (eventually 4.2.2) have same problem with this black "background" of icons. Actually there's a few solutions. 1. Uninstall update of GP, then clear data , and install older version like 4.8.18 (don't forget to uncheck "keep me up to date" idk where is this option :/) 2. Factory reset (this solution have 50% succes) 3. Stop application, delete all data, reebot, run GP, or stop application>delete data>uninstall update then reebot and run GP. Hope some of this solution can work for you..

But I want currently and up to date version of GP... On other mobiles that functional normally...where is the problem? My brother have the same phone without this problem, however when he reset mobile to factory options, he heve the iusse with black background... My father have this same mobile, so he have this problem too... I want find problem please! :/

You can download SetDNS on GooglePlay and set "Level 3" try!
Ah doesn't work and so doesn't the other options, do I have to clear data from the play store in manage applications after setting? ( I read it on some android forum after searching on Google)
YES IT WORKS! I had to just reboot the phone thankyou!

[Q] Cyanogen Camera app on Honor6 ?

Hi,
after installing CM11 I wonder why the camera app is different from the one of the Oneplus One, which I liked much more than the installed version.
If I search the Google PlayStore on the phone for "Cyanogen Camera" it does not appear.
If I search the PlayStore with my PC I can find it, but the store tells me that it is not compatible with the Honor 6.
The needed Android version is stated as 4.3 or higher which should be no problem with CM11.
How can I change to the version on the PlayStore?
Best regards
Tom

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).

Thank you!
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.

Thanks! It works like a charm, just took 4 hours to download the update, idk why :good:
For people who don't want to go to YouTube:
Just change your region in the HiCare App to China and then click on the update button inside the HiCare App.
You are registered now. Now just download and install the update the usual way.
Just a word of warning though. It just rendered my dark themes completely unusable. And none of the unofficial dark themes work anymore, even ones that were designed for emui 9. It says the themes were designed for an older version. FML.
Hello
New update available
Have a good days
Excuse me, even changing the region to china, can't you find the update, other solutions?

Can't Install WhatsApp on custom rom

Dear Forum members,
I have lineae 15.1 on my Samsung S2 GT-19100 Running Oreo 8.1.0.
WhatsApp stopped supporting my version and said I needed ot upgrade. I couldn't upgrade. Just nothing happened when I tried to update.
I couldn't download via the phone so I downloaded a good .apk file and installed it via my desktop computer.
After I installed WhatsApp the app said my phone date and time was wrong so I recalibrated the date and time but it still said phone date and time is wrong.
So it was stuck on that notification page... Phone date and time is wrong.
Then it said WhatsApp does not support custom Roms. Is there any way to get WhatsApp to work on my custom rom? I've tried all I know and I can't get it working.
Thanks Community
Tim

Looking at Whatsapp's FAQ it seems like Whatsapp doesn't support custom roms and/or rooted devices. And if I understood your question right, you are currently running Lineage OS. So I would think your best hope would be finding an mod that supports rooted/custom rom devices or modding the app yourself.
If my answer helped you please upvote it to show your appreciation,
Jamie
Did you download that apk from the WhatsApp official website? Is it the latest version, v2.21.23.17 or later?
The common prompt 'the date is wrong' means that the version you are using is too old.
The version I installed is 2.18.92...
Tim
Your question got answered by WhatsApp themselves:
About rooted phones and custom ROMs | WhatsApp Help Center
faq.whatsapp.com
Try using the latest WhatsApp apk from apkmirror. I think it has more to do with the version you have installed. WhatsApp tends to disable the old APKs.
Also, although they say they don't support custom roms, it's just a pop-up that says you may face issues because you are on a custom rom which you can just click 'ok' and move forward.

Get the lastest apk of v2.21.23.25 from the WhatsApp official website or update it through Google Play Store at first.
I loaded the latest version and it restored all my conversations and content. What a refreshing simple answer ! So easy..
I was assuming all sorts of mismatches but it worked a treat. Usually I avoid the lates versions because of matching issues.
Thanks for the guidance, I should have spotted that myself.. ! Enjoy your day.
