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

Are you sure the apk file is the correct one ? Which device and android version are you using ? It may not be compatible with your android version...
Also I can't figure out why don't you use the latest whatsapp ...
Google Now Launcher is working on my Galaxy Tab 7.7
Maybe you want to try.
Take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561057, download and install Google Search and Google Home apk. Maybe it's necessary to install new Google play services first.
And done.
Works great on my device.

I don't know where you're from but if you're fine with English language stock Rom from Singapore works great. But to be honest it's not snappier or more stable it's just nicer. The new stuff works finally
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

Hello,
First of all this is an online TV watching app here in Belgium provided by my provider called Telenet link.
It works fine when I'm not rooted, so no SuperSU installed and no su binary. I did some testing and tried "RootCloak" and "No Device Check" but that causes the app to force close after logging in. What can be the cause of the app force closing with RootCloak or No Device Check enabled? I think the app only checks if SuperSU is installed because I'm using systemless root. But again I'm not certain.
Thanks in advance

Hello, looking for the same solution for my android tv sticks. Anybody checked 'Magisk' ? Hope to hear good news
I hacked a version for my personal need (pretty easy to do, but every time telenet comes out with a new app I need to redo the hack because of the update policy) and it is working on rooted devices but it is only for Lollipop roms (5.0 and 5.0.1) and lower.
You can download here, if in the future Telenet updates the app I will try to release a new hacked one.

Thanks civato, this works on my Huawei Mate with Android 4.4.2 I had to uninstall the original version first, update only resulted in streaming problem.
I am interested how you managed to crack or is this a secret you don't want to share?
What is the problem to make it work on Android 6.0?

Android is open source to me so no secrets here.
It is a older yelo play (4.3.0) that I changed. I just change the build version (matching the new yelo play app so it doesn't wan't to update) Then I recompile and sign it.
As 4.3.0 only supports up to Android 5.0.1 and doesn't have the DRM stuff Telenet put in the 4.7.1 and higher , but it was from 4.7.1 that it started to support android 6.0.
Maybe if I got more time to look into the smali files and try to get around to detect method for rooted phones I can get a better solution for this problem.

OK, thanks for the clarification. I will try to use suhide on my new phablet with Android 6.0
I just don't understand why Telenet refuses rooted phones, on a PC you are allowed to be administrator with much more possibilities for "misuse" than on Android.

Update: when I try to watch tv on my android tv stick, I only get the possibility to swipe it to a TV. How do I fix this please?
No more news ?
Check your EMUI verison before proceed to solutions. EMUI4 and EMUI5 may use different apps!
This is for EMUI 4 (Android 6).
I know many of you guys are using China variants, like BLN-AL10, AL20 and etc. By default, EMUI is not coming with full Google services, how do you get Google Contacts Sync working?
Solution:
Install the Google Contacts Sync Adapter from HUAWEI app store. Its version is 6.0-xxxx, DO NOT use latest version of 7.1.2.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70903719&postcount=6
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70903832&postcount=7
Background
In order to get Google services working on China variants, you need to install following apks:
1. Google Play Services (EMUI comes with an old one, like version 9.xx)
2. Google Play Store
3. Google Contacts Sync Adapter 7.1.2
Issue
I've got a BLN-AL10 with B170 stock ROM and with above 2 apks, I can access Google Play Store and install apps, but all Google Contacts are not shown up in my phone. I checked through Account settings and found it showed "Synced".

This is for EMUI 5 (Android 7).
Solution: (credits to @Mammuth1)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72823861&postcount=112
The final solution for Honor 6x BLN-AL40 (Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0):
1. Clean start: reinstall stock ROM over eRecovery
2. Install Google Installer (same here)
3. Install GMS Core
4. Restart

Just did some quick search and have found that Mate 8 and other HUAWEI phones China variants share the same issue, seems EMUI is broken or something, so that Google Contact Sync is not working on latest EMUI...
I'll try to downgrade to previous version... Meanwhile, blame HUAWEI for its bad software...

I found a way to fix it: there was an app also called Google Contact Sync in HUAWEI app store, version 6.0-xxxxx. I uninstall latest 7.1.2 and install that 6.0 from app store, the contacts are there.
I am using this to solve my issue with contact sync-
no problem since 40 days now with this. Dont update the version even if you get it on playstore or hi app.
