[Q] Android 8.0 Decks - Play store support? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Quick question for those that have Oreo versions. Are you able to install apps directly from the playstore? I am assuming the device is "uncertified". Or do apps need to be side loaded?
Thanks!

I've had no issues so far.

[Q] ZenithinkZT180 Android 2.1

Hi,
I've recently purchased the above however it doesn't seem to support a usb dongle. Is there additional software to support or modify the settings, plus I can't download apps from the android market or the apps crash everytime I try to install . I heard that a firmware upgrade is available but not sure where to get this from.
Any advice would be useful

[Completed] [Q] Unicode 7.0 update on Android

Unicode is built into our phone ROMS.
Recently new emoji characters have been released as part of the Unicode 7.0 standard.
So my question is, is there a way we could force our phones to update and get the new emoji without waiting for our ROMs to be updated? Is there a way to install or add it with some app or Xposed Framework?
? ? ?
P.S. I can see them without any additional support on Windows 10.

Hi,
I'm afraid you can't do that, without a ROM update.
Sorry

Want to use old Mi4c for PS4/PC Remote Play, any benefits in rooting/custom ROMs?

I got an old Mi4c on my hands that I would like to use as a dedicated Remote Play device for my gaming PC and PS4 together with a SF30 Pro Gamepad. I already tested both with Parsec and Chiaki and the Mi4c handles both things just fine. Currently the phone runs on the latest official MIUI 10.0.1 Android 7 Nougat Chinese/English ROM and I used the Chinese Google Play Installer to get the PlayStore running.
Would I get any benefits in rooting and/or flashing a custom ROM for my usecase? If yes, is this guide for unlocking the bootloader still valid? https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/guide-unlocking-mi4c-bl-verification-t3336779
Also what would be the best recommended ROM to install, is there any modern-ish ROM or Pixel Experience? What I'm looking for the most is the best battery-life and WiFi/Bluetooth compatibility with my SF30 Pro gamepad.
Thanks for help in advance!

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

Cool! I thought that I had to first uninstall the one it has now. Thank you so much!
