System update 1805077 - YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

I wonder, if someone was brave enough to install new system update. I don't know why my phone just recently shown update date 2018-05-07. With my previous issues installing Google Play - I hold my horses to jump into newer version of the system... Could you please let me know what improvements have you noticed? Was it worth to update? Any cons to update the system?

New update 2018-06-23 it's s patch zip link http://hwfotadown.mayitek.com/ota/r...1000MPX1806223/2018062717355410168.zip?m=(you yota3 meid)

I updated yesterday.
Pros:
- the buttons on the e-ink screen now work when you are mirroring the display;
- Kindle for the e-ink screen is newer version (I am not sure that it was not updated as part of some previous update).
Now the cons:
- Google Play stopped working (didn't have time to try to fix it);
- there are more Chinese apps that cannot be uninstalled or disabled.

[Q] Getting full Marketplace and Framework Issues

I have tnt lite running on my tablet, and went through the full instructions on the guide on this forum of installing it and the marketplace and flash fixes. However I never got the full marketplace on my tablet (no angry birds, lots of apps missing). I also would often get an error every so often about the Google Framework Services having and error, and recently my tablet would reboot often while i was browsing. Then flash started having issues of not loading sometimes, etc. So what I did was I redownloaded titanium backup, installed it, force closed Google Framework Services and Market, went into titanium and wiped data for Google Framework Services and Market and then tried to open the market and got the error. I then rebooted the device and I tried to access market. At first it wasnt opening so i rebooted again and then it started working, however it still isnt the full marketplace. Also randomly the Google Framework Services error came up again. How can I get the full marketplace working? Would you recommend that I backup this rom and just reflash with the 2.2.1 tnt and start over again? I dont have much data on it and can start from scratch easily.
Ok so I have gotten rid of the Framework error and stability issues. I did a factory reset which seemed to have cured a lot of those issues. However I still dont have the full andriod market. I followed the steps again but I keep getting a limited version of the market with barely any apps. Is there something else I need to do to get this working better? I have heard of people getting the full market with angry birds, etc on it, so I know it can be done..
Some of the roms, sepcifically the Vega one, I wasnt able to get the market to work on correctly. I finally did by doing a factory reset, installing Cyanogen mod, Cyanogen gapp pack, and than flashing the Vega one over it without a reset.. and then the usual market fix. And it finally worked. There has to be a better more reliable way though. (From my understanding, it should work out of the box with Vega since it uses the release key instead of the test key in build.prop. But it does. )
I don't think the "fix" has given *anyone* completely full market, has it?
I've done the fix on TNT Lite, newest release, and newest VEGAN and I am still missing apps here and there.

I seemingly have access to the full market. I applied the fix referenced on the TNT tutorial page:
Setting / Applications / Manage Applications / Running / "Clear cache"; then "Force stop"
Then go up to Google Services Framework and "Force stop"
Open Titanium Backup; click on "Backup/Restore" and scroll to Google Services Framework 2.2.1 - and "Wipe data"
Go back to Home and launch Market. You should receive an error message (if not, repeat steps above).
Reboot and you should be good to go.
I also installed the latest update to the market (via update.zip) referenced here

Correct, to the best of my knowledge, even with a good build fingerprint in build.prop (now pre-done for you in Vegan ROM) and after applying Market Fix, we still seem to be lacking a few apps here and there from Market. Perhaps 2-5% of the apps in Market are still missing. Off the top of my head, Pocket Legends, Tank Hero, one of the MAME ports are known to be still missing. Some other minor apps.
CyanogenMod is the only ROM that apparently doesn't have this issue, though I haven't tried it to verify that for myself.

It's a waste of time loading this onto the A7, no market app the only thing i see change is the ability to run the default browser in full mode other than tht nothing else work for me as i type this i am loading dexter mod back to my tablet.. ..hope dexter can make this usable..
got the newest firmware, runs great. created a new gapps package w/ a patched market like dexter had in 1.2 and can see all the apps i couldn't (skyfire and qik are my test).

Hey bestialbub, Also did the new update + your gapps update. Everything I used from market works great. One game "Crazy Snowboard" seems to have a ornamentation problem but I think that its a app problem because "Penguin Skiing" , a similar game, works fine. This Gapps update is a great alternative for people who want or need the OFW firmware updates from Elocity but don't want to wait for Dexter to update his mod's. Great work!!! I will be ending you a donation.
Recommendation for "gapps update:
Adding a backup and restore app like "Titanium Backup" as part of the gapps update so I don't have to reinstall from market every time I do a an update.
Recommendation for "Elocity updates:
Elocity needs to fix the way the sdcard is mounted. Sd card should be more compliant with android 2.2 standards. Right now system backups and apps are stored in "storage" folder. OFW updates and "wipe/data factory resets" reformat/destroys all data on that partition and there is no system option to backup to the sdcard (ie., sdcard-disk0.) This is a problem when you are providing all these OFW updates. I have to use a market(not included) provided app to backup my app and another app to move the folders from "storage" to sdcard. That makes no sense.
For some reason i dont have adobe flash and Asphalt 5 still cannot load these two option alone for me make me revert back to dexter mod...
just got off the phone with elocity and mention my gripe with this firmware
i mention to them about dexter and bestialbub who is helping us elocity owners, they guy there say only appoke a gapps apps will work with their firmware...
i believe i did see adobe flash listed in market for update/installation, which is going to be more updated than what would come preinstalled. otherwise i'll check to see if inserting gapps into the system image causes any initial setup problems, as the preinstalled adobe flash is installed on first boot, i think even to the user data partition, so this shouldnt be an issue.
all other non gapps issues are likely rom specific and still awaiting my inspection. recovery is next on the list.
regarding manufacture support or statement against software not supplied by them; they obviously wont support it. most manufactures would even recommend against it; except these new tablet manufacturers are skirting support and linking directly to xda forums for support; so they cant straight nay say solutions promoted here. they cant endorse them either.

I downloaded and installed flash 10.2 from market without any problems. Tested the installed version here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. "Asphalt 5" seems a little complicated to install right now but looks like a nice game. I might try it myself if I can get the files together.

I got an OTA update to 5.1 last night

Anyone else?
I got the OTA update of Android Lollipop 5.1 on 06/18/2016 for Blu Vivo Air
I got it too, for some weird reason I ave three complains 1) media volume and volume in general seems to be lower with the new update 2)there's something in particular going on with the storage, I have more than 8gb of space available and when ever I go to download my 8th app, it tell me i have no space to download, even when the app is just 19 mb 3)emoticons seem to remain the same as Kit Kat, hideous yellow smiley blobs of some sort with now way to change the font of the system, other than that I love 5.1 interface a lot more than Kit Kat 4.2. I would just advice BLU to fix this issues on Vivo Air phones
The emoji are the same here as well. The storage is also a problem for the new update. The "move to internal storage" or "move to phone storage" option is gone sadly. I think that has something to do with it, because I have at least 7gb of phone storage free. Other than that the update is fine.
weather app
I got it too, lost the weather app, somebody has it? please
I am having problems with the com.android.phone process. Keeps closing continuously. Was forced to root and uninstall the Phone apk using TiBu.
Did you all do a full reset ?
Also agree with naylo85's #2 - storage is acting weird (probably play store). If I install apks directly, they work. I got TiBu and Kingo on device root installed that way.

Cannot update to 8.1 and GPS errors 495 & 924

Hello everyone
I looked for solutions and did whatever I could have found (factory rest several times, deleting data & chach memory of the play store and play services) but I still unable to update any apps or the android version in my device.
My N6P was in the drawer for few months and I decided to make it like a tablet for home use.
In an official version 8.0.0 with september security patch level . Build number ORP6.170623.019
Any solutions?
Thank you

Stable AOSP 7.1 setup w/ working Google and Voice - ACHIEVED!

This guide is to install AOSP 7.1.2 and GApps on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, model GT-P7500 ("p4"). It has also been reported working on the Wifi-only version GT-P7510 ("p4wifi") with minor changes, noted in the instructions. I will update this main post as better information becomes known.
Updated 2018-Aug-06
After a couple dozen wipe-and-retry sessions, I thought I'd share my current setup which to date has been the most stable configuration I've had between Nougat and Oreo. I've had absolutely no stability issues so far with this setup, and I even have fully functional Google search, voice search (and Ok Google), and voice typing - no crashes. Anyone who's tried to install a modern GApps on these devices will know the frustration of literally endless and unstoppable "....has stopped" messages!
Here's what I've got working on my GT-P7500:
- AOSP Nougat 7.1 (all thanks to @decatf)
- Fully functional Google Apps - NO "... has stopped working"/"... keeps crashing" issues. None.
- Google Search, Google Now, voice search, voice typing, and other voice-related services ALL WORK. No crashing.
I should also mention that I have NOT included the instructions to create the 1GB /system partition. I figured this out when I was trying to install modern GApps that needed more space; in the end the instructions below turned out to be the best and do not require the expanded space. I have posted the file in another thread if anyone wants it for other purposes.
Installation Instructions:
Download these files to your PC. Some files are different for different variants of the device - make sure you get the right ones for your device!
Odin v1.85 (download)
Use only this version, the newer ones don't work well with this device.
TeamWin Recovery Project
Custom unofficial versions for p4* by @decatf. Direct download links below; select the right one for your device. (original thread / downloads page) Some have reported issues with TWRP 3.1.1; if you experience issues, try TWRP 2.8.7.0 instead.
TWRP 3.1.1.0 - for GT-P7500/p4 (download) - for GT-P7510/p4wifi (download) - for SGH-T859 (download)
TWRP 2.8.7.0 - for GT-P7500/p4 (download) - for GT-P7510/p4wifi (download) - for SGH-T859 (download)
Android Open Source Project 7.1.2 Custom Built for Galaxy Tab 10.1 - AOSP 7.1.2 built for p4* by @decatf (downloads page) (original thread).
decatf's AOSP 7.1.2 2017-10-05 - for GT-P7500/p4 (download) - for GT-P7510/p4wifi (download) - for SGH-T859 (download)
SuperSU v2.82 (download) (original thread).
Custom GApps from decatf's Lollipop release (download) (original thread).
Yes, really, the Lollipop version. Just trust me.
Boot into Download mode (instructions).
Connect to PC.
Start up Odin v1.85.
If the device is properly recognized, it will show up in the first of the row of white squares at the top. If not, install the Samsung USB Drivers and start again.
Use Odin 1.85 to install TWRP 3.1.1 Custom.
Reboot to Recovery mode (instructions).
Wipe the device, including the /system partition.
Transfer the AOSP, SuperSU, and GApps files to the device.
Install decatf's AOSP 7.1.2.
Install SuperSU v2.82.
Do NOT install GApps at this time, despite all the instructions everywhere else that you would normally install GApps before the first boot. This older release is being used to get a version of the Google app that works on this tablet's no-longer-supported CPU, and the install is done after first boot to bypass Google's Setup Wizard which will put you in an impossible-to-exit loop.
Reboot to System, and allow complete boot-up. Note that the boot will take several minutes as Android 7 does its thing setting up - be patient!
Once fully booted, wait a minute for the system to settle, then reboot back into Recovery.
Install custom GApps.
Reboot to System. Boot should be much faster this time.
You can do this part later, but the final steps will be smoother if you do this first.
Install a CPU Speed Control program of your choice. Device Control, 3C Toolbox, No-Frills CPU, heck even Automate or Tasker if you already have a script setup.
Set your CPU Max speed to 1400 MHz (1.4 GHz). I find stability issues at anything above 1400 on my device; your mileage may vary. When testing speeds, do not set them to apply on boot until you are certain it is still stable, or you may have some difficulty reverting.
Optionally Set your CPU Governer to Performance. This results in a smoother system overall, and doesn't seem to have much of an effect on battery life. I also use some settings to drop the Governer to Interactive when the screen is off, back to Performance on screen on. You can do this using any number of programs like Automate, Tasker, IFTTT, 3C Toolbox, and many others...
Most important step - open Play Store, go to My Apps, select Google, click the Menu in the top-right corner, and uncheck Auto-Updates. Alternately, you can go to Play Store Settings, and disable auto-updates altogether, but that is more troublesome than simply inhibiting the single app.
Update Google Play Services. It will need to be updated before most of the newer apps will function, so might as well do it now.
Install all the other Google apps you want from the Play Store, and any updates... you will need to update Play Services before most of the newer apps will function... but never, ever update the main Google app.
Open Settings.
Scroll to the bottom, and open Language and Input. Select Physical Keyboard settings, and enable "Show Virtual Keyboard". This ROM fakes having a physical keyboard always connected for some reason, so you will never see an on-screen keyboard unless you turn this on.
As long as we're in Settings, go to Security, and enable Unknown Sources. You'll probably want this.
Set up your Wi-Fi connection.
Adjust any of your other preferred settings.
You're finished! Try installing some of the software below.
Known issues:
Browser will crash once or twice during the first few minutes of operation for unknown reasons. Doesn't seem to happen again after that.
Recommended software that works: (I'll add Play Store links later...)
3C Toolbox / 3C Toolbox Pro - I've found this to be an excellent package for numerous functions including CPU control, app control, and battery reporting - I was able to quickly determine which of my chargers would charge it fastest. Also gives options for optimizing device on each boot and a number of other useful functions.
Via Browser, a modern browser built to be slim and speedy "for geeks". It is surprisingly responsive compared to the other two options on this old device.
decatf's Chromium for Tegra 2 CPUs (direct link to Downloads). This is a modern browser with all the features you expect, but compiled to run on the older CPU. It is a little bit slow but is essentially Chrome without the official branding, including the ability to sync with Chrome on other devices. @decatf is nice enough to keep compiling new versions to keep it roughly on par with Chrome, let's hope he keeps it up.
Firefox Focus, a privacy-focused version of the Firefox browser maintained separately. For whatever reason, this one is still compiled for older devices where the full browser is not. It is a modern and relatively speedy browser which can be nice to have on hand, but purposely eliminates features most people want in a daily-use browser, like bookmarks, history, etc.
Got suggestions for useful software that functions well on this old device? Let me know!
Mainstream software that WILL NOT WORK, even though it shows up as compatible in the Play Store and will install fine (but complain about your CPU type or report 'unsupported device'):
Google Chrome browser - as an alternative, check out decatf's Chromium, noted above.
Mozilla Firefox browser - as an alternative, check out Firefox Focus and Via Browser, noted above.
Find another one? Let me know! There were more but I've forgotten.
Original post...
You read it. I have a Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500) which I have managed to configure with decatf's AOSF Nougat 7.1, Google Apps with fully functional Google App and Voice Search (NO crashes), and with an enlarged /system partition so there is actually room on the partition to install some extra system apps without mucking about with linking or anything.
I slapped a quick guide to the GApps bit on the end of decatf's 7.1 thread in Development, but I wonder if there is enough of an interested audience for me to write up how I did the whole thing?

I could find little to no information on how to do any of this, but I pieced it all together, experimented, and got it working. I've solved most of the problems I was having, including the ones that seem to be most commonly posted here from what I can see.
So here's what I've got working on my GT-P7500:
- decatf's AOSF Nougat 7.1
- Fully functional Google Apps, NO "... has stopped working"/"... keeps crashing" issues. None.
- Google App WORKS. No crashing.
- Google Now WORKS. No crashing.
- Voice search WORKS. No crashing.
- Voice typing and other voice-related services WORK. No crashing.
- Larger /system partition.
What I haven't figured out or haven't worked on yet:
- Some apps do not seem to be reading the compass properly, but I think a test app showed it as working, so needs more investigation...
- Get (standard) Firefox running.
- Which partitions can be safely reduced or eliminated to increase available data space.
- Experimenting to see if any voltage adjustments will allow 1.6GHz overclocking to function without freezing up. My device will only run stable at 1.4GHz
pOST the instructions
please post instructions
Yes Please!
Please post the instructions. I still use the OG Galaxy Tab 10.1 regularly. Yes its slow as all heck, and barely runs 2 apps at a time. But Id like to do this just for giggles before my Yoga Book comes in the mail and i lay my 6yr old Tab to rest.
I'd also be very much interested in this. I just got one of these as a gift for a NGO that I'm working for, and would love to be able to use it...
yes please!
Please post instructions/guide. Would love to able to update the tablet. My daughter uses it and it's so slow
pls advice if said method can be aplied to P7100
I am also interested in what you did to get everything working (for me, the Setup Wizard continually crashes right after the first screen).

I followed all the steps up until I got to 'install SuperSU'. First root I did, it stopped the home button/recent apps button from working. So I started again and didn't install it
GApps worked perfectly and I was able to login to google and download all my apps
Once I rebooted the system, the tablet was stuck on the "Android" logo for about 5-8 mins so I left it and then it loaded normally. 2nd time it loaded perfectly.
Installed Device Control [root] but it said it wasn't able to access the processor tab so uninstalled.
FYI, I had to use TWRP 2.8.7.0 available at the same link https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=24424 for my p4wifi. I tried the latter one, but didnt work so just copied over the older tar file, installed in TWRP itself, rebooted recovery, and then the rest of the steps worked. Thanks OP for trying to bring this old tablet back to life!
When I install aosp-7.1-p4-20171005.zip, I got:
E3004: This package is for "p4" devices; this is a "p4wifi"
and stop installing

Word/Excel
Hi! I can't launch Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint from Play Store. I get a message "This device uses a processor that doesn't meet the system requirements for installing Office.". Have I done something wrong during the update? Thanks!
Mine is running very smoothly including internet and video, however, I am having the following issues:
- home screen circle and task history triangle buttons in the bottom menu are not working
- when I plug in the USB cable my computer recognizes the device but no menu pops up on the tablet allowing me to select file sharing
- I can't access developer options in the settings menu (tapping 7 times on the build version does not bring it up)
So right now I can't move any files to the tablet.

Unfortuntately, something is wrong with my onscreen menus. I can't swipe down to expand the menu, so I only see the top row of symbols (wifi, user, flashlight, auto-rotate, Bluetooth) and can't get to any other symbols. I'm kind of new to this so I'm not sure what impact different versions of TWRP would have - my version is 3.0.3. Maybe I should update to the version noted in the post.
I get the same error for Word.
Good guide, but some inconsistencies in the sequence.
For example, you indicate to disable the auto-update on the Google app BEFORE to fill in your Google account: it's impossible.
And even after you enter your Google account, you need to install at least one application (and therefore activate the wifi) to see the Google app in the list "My applications".
Other than that, it's more stable than my previous installation, and just for that: thank you!
f4t2
Good guide, I successfully installed Nougat on my Tab 10.1. following your steps. Very smooth. BTW, I didn't install any Gapps son I can't provide any feedback about it. I can say overclocking to 1400 Mhz seems pretty stable on my unit.
Regarding the non-NEON issue, I found this guy built a relatively recent Firefox 59 package compatible with our device. It's not the latest version, but it's better than what we had. It works fine for me.:good:
