any solution for this yet? same app not installed error with every apk i could find. bought this phone for my kids, think they would have a little more fun if can get playground to work!!
I've scoured through the deepest depths of the internet but still, I've been unable to find a working google camera port for this android version.
It's strange because:
1. This phone is running Android 10
2. It has level 3 support for the camera2 api(level 3 means FULLY supported)
3. It's running a snapdragon 450, which is also on the samsung a20s, which for some reason DOES have a google camera port

Bump because I hate the default camera app that is bundled with this phone
In the Google Play Store, couldn't you find the Google Camera app that automatically matches your Galaxy A11?

Of course not, the entire reason I'm having this issue is because the google camera app is only officially supported on pixel phones, but people have ported it to pretty much every other phone in existance or than seemingly my phone.
It does not work because samsung put a 32-bit (armhf/armv7l) version of android on the devices. The CPU is 64 bit but it is running a 32 bit OS. The explanation from samsung is that they did is because their low end devices have very little ram. Also the kernel uses the ondemand cpu governer, it is ****. Android 12 is said to run only on arm64 devices, so maybe when we get android 12 in a few months it will finally work.

I am using non compatible application in my P-901, like BBM, Microsoft office, Google Launcher, Samsung Milk, Lab values ..etc
I have downloaded them using google , installed them and they are running smoothly. I know they are not compatible with the device and they are not in the play store. My device is not rooted.
Are they harmful to the software/hardware because they are not compatible?
I just want to check that and if they are harmful I will un-install them immediately.
Thanks...

No, that just means they may not run smoothly. You could have issues with the way they display, they might force close, or they may run fine. You never know.
If they are jot compatible how did you download them from Google? Usually they will not download 1f they are not compatible.

Nah, it won't hurt anything. On Android it's called sideloading and people do it on pretty much every device.
There may be some rare exceptions, but basically if it installs and runs from an apk, then you're good to go. It won't damage anything.
A lot of things are labeled "incompatible" on purpose for reasons other than being technically unable to run on the device. (Like for example Google and Samsung want to keep their launcher and Milk music only running on certain devices thar they benefit from so everything else is flagged as incompatible. Also it may be that devs haven't optimized for certain devices and so don't want it running on them and then get low ratings for devices they don't support.

Almost all applications either paid/free or compatible/incompatible are available outside google play, just google it and download it.
Which version of ms office are you using and where did you find the apk, link please, I'm just interested in word,

The only ones that are truly incompatable are apps that require specific hardware features that aren't physically present in an incompatible device.
The best place I've found to get apps outside of Google play is Aptoide. Yes, there are plenty of crappy porn apps and repos full of pirated ones , but the default store, and many others have any legitimate free app you could want, in any past or present version you could want. It has adult content filtering turned on by default as well. The Aptoide app also has a play store-like update tab and auto-update feature, too. A recent update made huge improvements to the UI, which closely mimics the style of Google play. Just make sure to skim over feedback to check for issues, and avoid app versions that are higher than they should be.
They're all incompatible for one very simple reason: The developers haven't enabled the QHD resolution in Google play. It's really that simple and that stupid.
I had this same rubbish for almost a year with the TF700T, it was the only and first device with 1920x1200 at that time, and nearly évery app was incompatible.
Sideloading them always worked perfectly well, no issues.

You are right..
For example BBM is working fine in Note Pro and Note 2014 but in a bad resolution.

Oh man, that was just the tip of the iceberg with the TF700T. Mine still fights like a champ, but with the hardware specs it had for the time of its release, it should have gotten much more attention. Development was slow and scarce, and the stock firmware was riddled with issues and bugs. I typically go for whatever device has the best, newest hardware, and it stays seems like the second and third place devices get all the attention and accommodation. Going through it with the galaxy note pro 12.2 as we speak. I'm working on building a working cm 11 ROM for it in my spare time. All its had for weeks is twrp recovery. I just wish I had more time.

Hello,
Xiaomi Mi A1 came and my brother got one today. I looked into it and was surprised to find that it's an Android One device but missing the signature Google Apps/Features --
Google Phone (Dialer)
This device has com.android.dialer which is AOSP dialer, but even Micromax Canvas A1, the original Android One device has Google Dialer app and gets updated to date.
Google Contacts
Even when Google Contacts app is available to all devices from Play Store since recently, this device comes with AOSP Contacts App, out of my understanding.
Google Camera
This, maybe due to special Camera and lenses feature so justified, but Android One devices were considered Nexus/Pixel cheaper brothers and a variant of Google Camera was expected.
I have disabled AOSP Contacts and have installed Google Contacts, but the same is not possible for Google Phone app and hence it bothers me always. Why an Android One device wouldn't come with Google Phone/Dialer?
Also, there is a "Feedback" app from Xiaomi which can't be disabled. What purpose would it solve?
Why not Stock as it was in past Android One programs? This makes Android One more in control of Xiaomi's than in Google's. I didn't see any review or articles indicating towards this and feel a little cheated.
Thanks.
Xiaomi is a Big company than those from Android One 1st and 2nd gen have.
Xiaomi and Google signed a partnership for Android One program, it doesn't owned wholely by Google.

You can download the Google dialer APK, make it the "Phone app" provide all the permissions. Works great for me. You can choose the disable the AOSP dialer if you wish.

Nah, Google thought their first gen android one program wasn't successful. So, they started giving more control over hardware and also software to the OEMs this time. As a result, you can see android one OTA updates are handled by OEMs only, not the Google. That's all I know about.

Hi Sachin, call it the impression of earlier Android One program or having used Nexus all my time, I feel the Android One's android had to be Google's Android and not the AOSP or Partner Controlled ones. Even their advertising materials say that --
Code:
We’ve partnered with Google to bring you a pure Android phone that stays secure and fresh over time, with your favorite Google services front and center.
I am missing the so called Google Services.

I have them already, but it's not that integrated, especially considering Dual SIM scenario. Also, it misses the Google Dialers features of SPAM blocking and Nearby searches.

True. I would suggest making a post on Xiaomi forums for our Mi A1's and we'll possibly receive a positive response. (Google dialer integrated into Oreo, perhaps)
I'll doing that by EOD.

We all know that, and none of the Android One makers or even Nexus makers were owned by Google. But, I am asking something different if you see.
yes, totally disappointed by what Xiaomi are doing with this device. If they do not fix the problems soon, It will become problem for the company to grow....
good feeling to use xiaomi mi A1
- 5.5 Inches 2.5D Screen, 1920 * 1080 Pixel
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 2.0GHz Octa Core
- Supports Touch ID
- 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM, Supports TF Card Up to 128GB
- 12 MP & 12 MP Dual Rear Camera + 5 MP Front Camera
- Android 7.1 system
- 3080mAh Battery, Supports Fast Charge
- Dual SIM: NANO SIM + NANO SIM / TF Card (Other SIM Slot Can Be Used in Combination with a NANO SIM Card or TF Card)
- Network: GSM 850/900/1800 / 1900MHz, WCDMA 850/900/1900 / 2100MHz, FDD-LTE B1 / B3 / B5 / B7 / B8 / B20, Supports 2G & 3G & 4G LTE Network
Mi A1 has design elements in common with other Xiaomi devices, but feels like an elegantly crafted upgrade.
The 5.5-inch LTPS IPS display on the Mi A1 makes for a good design choice with 2.5D curved glass at the top. The Full HD display delivers crisp visuals and excellent contrast, with a pixel density of 403 ppi.
The Mi A1 packs in 64 GB of internal storage which should be enough for most people, though there is a microSD card slot so you can expand its capacity up to another 128 GB.
The Xiaomi Mi A1 brings a dual camera setup to a mid-range smartphone. It’s not the first brand to do this, but it is the first one to offer 2x lossless optical zoom in its segment.
The camera setup includes a 12 MP wide-angle 26mm f/2.2 lens and another 12 MP 50mm f/2.6 telephoto lens, with a dual-tone LED flash.

I recently switched to the Oneplus 7 Pro, updated to Android 10 and to my surprise, the calls made through WhatsApp and other similar apps can now be routed through Gear S3.
I also tested this on Pixel XL running Android 10 and so I assume it should work on all Android 10 devices.
Just wanted to let you guys know in case it hasn't been mentioned already.

Can you tell me how you got your plugin working?? I'm on a Pixel XL and it keeps telling me to check my software and update. I couldn't install from the play store it said my device was incompatible. So I downloaded the app but I get the update message... Any help would be amazing! Can't use my watch at all...

Hmm. Never ran into that issue. Maybe try hiding magisk manager and also using magisk hide for the three apps related to gear S3.
Also, in my case, the apps were available on the play store.
Are you sure you're using the latest apks?
Running Lineage 17 ROM may have been the issue as it was incompatible in the Play Store. Found a solution today figured I'd post it here as this was a top link for my search and hopefully it will help others.
Reset your watch and remove all Samsung related apps from your phone.
Install these two APK's and your back in business
https://www.dropbox.com/s/37untd7w3gkdlzs/gearoplugin_2.2.03.apk?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/en5dco911boyu17/watchmanager_2.2.27.apk?dl=0
For me, these plugins were incompatible in the Play store and many others I tried did not work. Only these 2 versions got me up and running again, so I figured I'd share them from my DB to hopefully help others.
I am beginning to suspect that my i12pro max may not be an IPhone all together! First, even after manufacture reset, it does not have the Apple app store. Second, Apple says the serial number is not valid or does not exist. Third, according to Google i12pro max is Google Fi compatible however the app says my phone is incompatible! Fourth, when I looked into hard resetting i12pro max they showed a different button configuration than what I have. Last but not least, i12pro max is supposed to be Android 10, however when I last went through Google settings there was a feature I tried to activate that requires android 7.0 or better & was informed that I could not use it.
When I try a web search for remotely viewing device specs I would get tuns of info/apps for remote controls or apps for remotely spying on your spouse/children. When I try to find apps in the Google app store every thing says "This app may not be optimized for your device"! Please let me know about Android 6.0 compatible apps that can view/retrieve remote device specs accurately.
Hello everyone,
I know it has been mentioned in device-specific posts, but I wanted to address this from a wider perspective.
I own a Redmi K40 Gaming phone, for which there are no global ROMs available yet (Hopefully there will be with the Poco re-branding), which comes with MIUI 12.5 out of the box. As you would know, it doesn't support GMS, sames as with other models like Redmi K30 Ultra, Redmi 10X and basically any other MTK high end devices (As announced by Xiaomi).
Personally, I'm OK with surviving without Google. Providing that: 1) I can get the apps I need 2) said apps work "normally".
For point 1) we can always get apps from other sources: Aptoide, APKpure, FDroid, or even here in XDA! You may not find all, and some may depend on GMS themselves, but it is possible.
The problem I have encountered is with #2. Some of said apps doesn't work the same when installed from third-party repositories. And that is what gives me more troubles
One problem is that when I install an app from any other source, the notifications never work properly. I have Facebook open, all permissions are given, I get a notification in another device but it doesnt come here. Same happens with Whatsapp.
Another issue is that some apps, despite installing properly, just don't work. I have tried a few games (Marvel Strike Force, Injustice 2, Real Racer 3) all of them give one or another problem
So, the idea of this thread (If you help me please), is for users without GMS to share what workarounds they have used to survive the Google vs Chinese phones war.
For example, where do you get the apps? What apps sustitutions you have enjoyed? What things you had to do to get the apps to work properly? and so on...
Thanks all for your help!
Cheers

Thanks @jwoegerbauer I had heard about this project, but never really digged into it.
Question about this "signature spoofing". Does it work with MIUI?
There are still no custom roms for mine, so I can't move to one of the recommended ones.
regards
no solution
So far I've been installing most, if not all, apps through Aurora store. Almost all work properly, but MIUI (Especially in its Chinese version) is a [email protected]#$#@$ with notifications and killing apps in the background.
I think the hardest part is the crazy amount of apps that depend directly of GMS...
Anyone has found a way to increase vibration strenght in MIUI 12.5?
Just wanted to announce that From update 12.5.5.0RKJCNXM. GMS has been able to work. So you can use Google apps!
