Google Play Services On ColorOS - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day everyone
I have a OnePlus One device, Chinese version with ColorOS.
I bought it 5 months ago, and I still do not have Google Play Services (GPS). I tried many ways of installing GPS from forums and couldn't find even here, how to install GPS on OPO, ColorOS.
Many forums say that it's better if I install CM, but I like this ColorOS and want to have GPS.
Please, can you help me to install GPS on my OPO device?
P.S. I apologize for my grammar mistakes.

[Q] Uber Noob need help with HTC One S bought in Beijing

Hey Guys,
As I mentioned in the title I am an uber noob when it comes to any sort of customization. I am travelling for 8 months, so I decided to pick up the HTC One S (first smart phone) instead of a laptop in Beijing because I thought it would be more useful. However, I'm already experiencing many difficulties.
Everything is in Chinese and I want English apps, but the Chinese app market loaded onto the phone has nothing in English. I have been searching through these forums trying to root my phone and flash a new rom onto it in hopes of accessing Google Play (I might need a VPN, too). However, some of the sites where I need to download software from (mediafire in particular) are inaccessible from where I am. How should I proceed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! (and please in fairly simple terms for my noobish brain to handle or something I'd be able to search online)
Try to change the language in settings!

Before you try and unlock/root/flash your device, make sure it is an actual HTC One S, not some clone, and make sure you know whether you have an S3 or S4 model.

Does your phone look like one of these? In that case it does not have much in common with the One S versions in the rest of the world and you should absolutely not flash anything from xda. Even if it looks like the "normal" One S do as Jobo mentioned and pay attention to if it is a Z520e ("S4") or Z560e ("S3") and only flash stuff made specifically for your version. There should be a model number on the box.

[Q] Hipstreet NOVA 4 HS-7DTB5-4GB

Does anyone have nay information on this tablet? I haven't been able to find anything about this specific tablet, not even the proper specs.
There are many tablets like it, but it is very difficult to narrow down which, if any, have the same specs.
This is the product page, but I can't find any software or manuals for it:

Yes actually. It's based on the A710/A10 tablet, I think specifically the SAYCOOL A710. My friend found lots of custom ROM's and CWM's and the device can be easily flashed/recovered with LiveSuite.
Unfortunately he is crap at remembering where he gets things, but I know the majority of sites were Vietnamese and he found a folder in Google of ROM's and recoveries.
You'll have to try a few, as some made the device randomly turn off, or the sound/wifi did not work.
The best ROM's are Gingerbread based, and while the one he has now seems to work but many apps crash at launch.
That should be a good stepping stone.

Need reco's for a ROM to regain usefulness of my XOOM tablet

All,
Some time back, with the ongoing update of Google components, my Xoom tablet became virtually unusable due to the glacial response time. I lamented this fact as I did and still do think this is an awesome tablet and losing the usage was upsetting. I bought a Nexus 7 to replace it, which I use almost constantly, but there was always this thought in my mind of getting the Xoom going again.
Initially I tried the both the Lollipop and Marshmallow ROMs available in this forum, but frankly neither are "ready for prime time". There were and are serious functionality which makes both non-starters.
So, I installed OMNI ROM v4.4.4... on my Xoom tablet. Things seemed better for a while, but again the rot has set in and the response time of the tablet is glacial. Everything takes 30-60 seconds to respond and doing updates takes many minutes, not just a few.
I'm looking for options/suggestions/whatever on the possibility of bringing the tablet back to life.
If you have a Xoom tablet and it's still performing well for you, I would love to know details of the setup.
Thanks in advance

Anyone?
I have also felt my daughter's Xoom getting slower in recent months. HOwever, the bigger issue has been all the Google Play Services error since early February. There may be good news for the google play services erros - someone named Just_Golem posted in the Google support forums that today's beta version of Google Play Services (version 10.5.42) may have resolved the Google Play Services issues. I'm hoping this is the case because I haven't bothered turning on my daughter's Xoom since early-Feb.
If the Google Play services error is indeed resolved, then I'm hoping some of the previous sluggishness may also be resolved (I'm running the Omni 4.4.4 rom). If not, it's mostly bearable.
I was using my Xoom with Omni 4.4.4 until very recently. Not only did Play stop working but Youtube got really really laggy so it went in the drawer never to come out again :'(
Not bad for a six year old device though, bought it back in 2011 and have used it almost daily since then. A proper high end quality tablet when it came out.
Holy crap. Latest update completely hosed my Xoom. Google Play Services repeatedly crashes.
WTF Google?
Now fixed. Latest beta version of Google Play Services fixes the crashing issue - look in other threads to find the link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...-xoom-10-1-wifi-mz604-crashing-t3554786/page4

Question Google Play Apps "pending" on OnePlus 9 in China

Hi Everyone - Sorry in advance that I have ridiculous beginner questions, but I just moved to China AND I just bought my first OnePlus Friday. I'm coming from a Pixel 4a5G and couple pixels before that. I haven't rooted or tweaked in many years since my Galaxy Siii with CyanogenMod. As you're about to see, I have no idea what I'm doing...
My phone: OnePlus 9 LE2110 (China) running ColorOS 11.2 (LE2110_11_A.01)
Carrier: China Mobile (also have Google Fi and will probably dual sim)
Current Location: China (but travel to US, UAE and will use Google Fi there)
I just want stability, Google Apps and for all my 4G/5G service whether I am in China or in the US. I'm fine keeping ColorOS or switching to OxygenOS. Because I value stability, I am hoping to not root or do things that might jeopardize that too much.
I've been able to sideload some apps, but I don't find that to be sustainable. I've installed the Play Store and it says it is certified, but nothing will download. An app will look like it tries to download, but gets stuck at "pending." I do have ExpressV*N running and have no issues getting gmail or the other couple Google apps working. I'm running Play 25.5.27-21
Am I able to get the Play store running and apps updating on ColorOS in China? If so, any ideas what I've done wrong?
If not, do I need to do anything besides what mlgmxyysd (amazing by the way!!) listed on the downgrade post to downgrade and install OxygenOS? I saw some people having issues with IMEIs. Looks like the latest update solved it, but I have no idea if I need to do something different.
Does the downgrade here use the Indian build? If so, should I stick with that or try to upgrade eventually to the US build? Is that even possible?
My dumbest question of all: do I download the ColorOS downgrade file if I am switching from ColorOS to OxygenOS?
I promise I have done 8-10 hours of research to try and answer my own questions. It might not seem like it and I'm sure I've overlooked very obvious information, but it's because I'm dumb, not lazy.
If you've made it this far: thanks for reading and for any insight you might have.
If you want stability, then you might want to change to oxygenOS. Most of the users here are using oxygenOS. And I haven't encountered any bugs as of yet on my oneplus 9. This will most likely solve your issue on google.

Thanks. I finally bit the bullet and converted. No real issues except for one error that has gone away (or been hidden and doesn't matter). I still have my 5g connection which I was concerned about (I average 200 Mbps on speed test) and was able to sync with my Google account so I have Play and all my old apps.
I've gotten an OTA update for 11.2.7.7.LE25DA and I'm nervous to ruin a good thing so I haven't installed it yet. I'm also only running my China Mobile sim. I haven't added my Fi SIM to it yet, also for fear of breaking something.
Either way, this really changed my life. Thanks for your final push and for the OP of the ColorOS to OxygenOS conversion.
if rooted use magisk hide like in screenshot I make my pixel 5 change fingerprint to anything and then it should work if not do the device id and maker mine showed
obviously oxygen os is the better choice ,coloros has too many ads. And you don't have to download the degraded file between o os and color os.
Thanks, everyone. Shortly after I posted this and got a little feedback I switched to Oxygen OS. It was a game changer. I don't care so much about Color OS vs. Oxygen OS (I see some merits in both), but this is much closer to my old Pixel feel and more importantly, I have easy access to Play store.

Google services on chinese motherboard

Hi, I recently had to change my OnePlus 7 Pro motherboard. I bought one on Aliexpress. Everything works fine except for some problems with updates and google services. I experience a lot of crashes when I try to use app like gmail or google related products. I installed the global version of oxygen os but nothing change. After a lot of thinking I suspect it's related to the fact that the motherboard is for the chinese market. The motherboard is unlocked and the mobile network works fine.
I also have problems installing new roms and updating the current one via simple OTA.
Has someone experienced the same thing? Do you have any fix or suggestion?
Thanks
