Yota apps on Hisense A2 - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
Can someone who has Hisense A2 please tell me if Yota applications ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Yota+Devices+LLC ) run on A2? I.e. is it possible to make the e-ink display look like the one of Yotaphone?
Also what is the difference between Hisense A2 and Hisense A2 pro?

Hello

I don't have the phone. I am considering buying one and that's why I am wondering, if the Yota apps will work on HiSense A2.

They actually are - I have a Yotaphone 2 and it's running Android 6.0.1.
I've seen some pictures of HiSense A2 and the widgets (or whatever they are) on the eInk screen look horrible.
If Yota's apps and widgets would work on HiSense A2 this would make the phone a lot more attractive (at least for me). Also given that the price of A2 is 1/3 the price of Yota 3 and the hardware otherwise seems the same.

ok thank you

[HELP] Pull package permission dump from rooted device

Hello,
Can someone with a rooted device upload /data/system/packages.xml? I need this for a rooting experiment, and as far as I know, it doesn't contain any personal information.
Also, I'll prefer the file from a HD 8 (2016) or HD 10 (2017), but if you don't have them, any tablet will do.
Thanks!

This is the official community of Nubia! There are already developers who have rooted nubiax, and those who need it can go and see.

I have Nubian x, the downside is that you can't upgrade or downgrade the magic version.

For your personal opinion, is it worth to buy it or you prefere other phones like Honor magic 2, etc.?

I think he is worth buying because I am Chinese, although his system is difficult to use, but because I am Chinese, I feel good, I don't know the habits you use. The system is relatively simple and there are not many useless functions, that is, if there is a native system in the future, how to use the screen on the back!

Judging from his post and screenshot on another thread, I assume he means Magisk.

Only specific magisk can be used and cannot be upgraded. Can not use the official.
Hopefully the international version to be released later can be rooted as well.
May I ask, does the chinese rom have app for restoring apps (and app data) from offline backup? Because i need root if i want new phone (for titanium backup)

No recovery program, you can restore your backup data in root new phone and then use titanium backup

We don't even know if a global version will be ever released... With nubia z18 they didn't for exemple
Does kingroot one click root work on this nubia x?
Kingroot does not work, Nubia UI is a REAL pain in the ass, no google framework and there IS and won't be a "Global" Version. Only a chinese one with some basic mutilanguage support.
If you are within the EU: avoid these Nubia X! A waste of money.
Vivo nex 2 has same dual screen concept but vivo has higher price and also not unlockable bootloader.
Man such waste of good hardware

I am in EU.
I can say that I love the phone.
Side load of the apps or rooted 2.11 - I don't regret even a single EUR spend on it.
Price/Quality - show me another one.
Oh, wait, you don't own one to do a comparation, I assume.
Tell me that again when you hold one in your hands

That's strange. Have you tried sideloading them from Apk Mirror and a different version? You may have a vendor rom or Chinese Xiaomi too.

Two Mi 5S Plus devices - We'd like to root & flash a new ROM

Hi,
So both my mum & dad have Mi 5S devices and we have a few issues...
1. My mums phone doesn't work very well with her Fitbit App, I've tried all of the suggestions on Fitbit forums and even on XDA forums with battery settings, permissions and what not but none of it helps.
2. My Dads phone cant sync his contacts down / up to Google.
3. My Dad's phone doesn't pass safetynet, yet my mums does...
There are subtle differences all across the phones, different font styles/sizes and slightly different layouts because one is running the Global ROM and one is running the Stable ROM...
We would like to root them both and flash them on to a new ROM, probably the "Pixel Experience" ROM as then their phones will look way more like my Pixel 2 XL and my brothers Pixel 3.
We want to be able to pass safetynet so I guess if we root with Magisk we'd have to use magiskhide & the module for build props safetynet spoofing.
I've checked the guides subforum but there isn't any for the Mi 5S Plus on how to unlock, root and flash a new ROM...
Any advice would be very welcome!

Question Port a snapdragon 8 gen 1 rom

Hello everyone, my friend has this phone (Honor magic V and I would love to know if is it possible to port a rom from another phone with the same soc to this one, I once have ported rom from Mediatek to another Mediatek device but I have never tried porting on Snapdragon based device, can someone please enlighten me?
The main reason for this is to get Google services working on this device as I have searched everywhere for the way to install Google apps to no avail
Anyone?
To the best of my knowledge, it's not possible to install Google Play Services on that phone.

I have honor magic vs (chinese version sadly) its still on android 12 magic os 7 and cant install play store but for sure global rom(magic os 7.1 ) has gms integration possible. Now the problem is if chinese devices will get an update based on removal of global restrictions or not. chinese people don't use google for obvious reasons.
ping me if you have any update. I am also trying my seller to get international rom for mine.

I will, but I am losing hope as no one is willing to guide me on how it's done (the porting stuff) on snapdragon based soc, I have been doing it on mediatek but I am totally new to this snapdragon world
