Weird Apps preinstalled - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi guys!
Today I got the Xiaomi Mi A2.
I bought it from Amazon (eu, global rom: reseller = A-MONTAIN)
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07FMPVBQR/
the package was sealed etc. so IDK how this happened,
I didn't see anything at first, unfortunately I didn't take a screenshot but on the stock launcher apps weren't visible, I was able to see them when I installed Nova Launcher,
It was a green Turkish app that served I dont know what purpose, and other two were Mi Apps that didn't show in stock launcher, I uninstalled all of them, too bad I didn't think about taking a screenshot before.
but still I wanted to warn you guys,
have a nice day!

I've posted about this a while back... Search the thread for "Capting"

How make make my phone better.

Anyone have any tips that I could use to make my Android/Atrix experience better.
Any tips?
*Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Oh sorry, didn't see it. Don't need to swear at me.
Here is my tip from my shallow experience with the phone and android.
1. do factory reset after your phone has been fully charged to 100% for 4hours-ish while its turned off
2. get before update root
3. update to 1.57
4. do the post update root
5. get titanium backup pro and go to the freeze the applications under the safelist.
6. get an launcher (I bought launcherpro plus, but i think just launcherpro is just as good... because the only major perks i've noticed was the launcherpro widgets and widget resizing)
7. freeze the motoblur home(after installing another launcher like lpp)
8. download screengrabber app (it works on rooted phone and I like using it, you may not need a screen capture program)
9. do the webtop mod if you want to try it. you need android sdk first to do adb commands. (I tried it to see how lapdock would feel like and I found it pretty good)
I love launcher pro, as it looks so nice!!! 3d app drawer and home screen flipping animations, and overall so many settings you can customize. (# of app row, column etc)

thank you so much!
Haven't used the phone, but just look around under the forums and find some guides. Atleast you will be able to find a guide to root it and such which will make life much better and more open for improvement best of luck.

That was pretty pointless...
no need to cuss...
I was in the same boat as the OP and it was hard for me to search through the massive massive amount of info on this forum.
No need to be so hostile... There has been alot of hate on the forum lately. I know it gets annoying when the new users start asking questions that can be found by searching. But, you have two sensible choices: 1. give them some tips so they know what to search for, or 2. don't reply to thread and let the thread die off...
Dude, You better calm down! I just got banned a couple days for fighting with somebody and cursing and you have a ****load of posts just like this! I had 2 posts then banned! You've been lucky so far but all someones gotta do is report you and then here comes the ban hammer!
No ones even starting with you! This guy just asked a question! Calm down!
if you dont need stuff like email, calendar and contacts updated to the minute its a good idea to disable this feature in settings and with titanium backup. theres a big thread in the dev section about what apps from att that are safe to freeze with titanium. this alone will significantly increase your battery life.

and if you're feeling real brave??.... You could root the **** out of it and flash gingerblur or gladiatrix or the newest rom greyblur!! Im about to flash greyblur right now!
If you want a gingerbead look to your phone, as well as getting rid of the hideous white notification bar, you should try out GingerBlur, a pseudo-rom for the Atrix.
GrayBlur has also been released, which I'll be trying out shortly.
Get a launcher. If you have the money (15$) I would buy SPB Shell. That is one amazing launcher. Or just get one of the many others like ADW, Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, etc.
If you want to tether (data plan required), go to the dev section to get the tethering APN for mobile hotspot.
Install Tenfar's custom bootstrap recovery. Allows you to flash ROMs.
Install the Amazon App market. A free paid app a day (games too).
And last but not least: check out the themes section. Lots of cool themes and boot images.

You'll have to side load it. you can enable that by running glad root.
Then, download the apk from amazon, put it on your phone, and install
Definitely worth it

Hm wasn't aware of that. I do know that every single download oas considered a purchase, so if you ever want to switch devices, you can just redownload them like ever normal market.

Yeah as long as you reinstall amazon appstore all the time with it and I was reading that the appstore is kind of a form of spyware and require too much info from the user.
Uninstall appstore and you'll see. I had angry birds rio and a few others for free. I uninstalled the appstore and then my apps just stopped working! I heard this would happen but didnt believe it! But it is 100% true! Which like I said sucks!
How do I disable MotoBlur using TiBu?
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Get GO Launcher EX. It's so much smoother than stock, you'll love it. I just returned to it after using LauncherPro Plus for a few weeks. Features on LauncherPro are great, but it had some stability issues for me, and GO Launcher is MUCH smoother and consistent for me. There are a lot of themes for it as well.

Instructions (Thank Zevral!)
zevral said:
Just in case someone messes up their Rom (like me), here is how you flash the original:
Download the newest version from here
You now have the update.zip, now connect your Meizu with your PC
Copy the update.zip to the main folder (internal) of your Meizu
Optional: you might want to do a factory reset, otherwise your gonna flash over your old install. To do a factory reset, go to settings -> about phone -> memory/storage
Reboot and press Vol+ & Power at the same time.
Choose System upgrade and press Start
Wait for it to install, you're done!
In case you're wondering how i messed it up:
i rooted and uninstalled some apps that i thought were not necessary. I somehow managed to mess up the Dialer and a few other things So be careful, you might break something by uninstalling random system apps.
A normal factory reset will not save you, i tried! The uninstalled apps are gone, you have to re-flash the rom.

I now have this phone,I really like it.
But the firmware is very buggy,I hope a fw update is soon.
Notifications seem to stop once an app is not used for a while,for example if you open up Outlook to check your emails it will notify you once you get a new email,the LED notification light will flash,but if you leave it for about 12 hours then it will not notify you of any new emails,even the notification bar will not show your email.
Same with Facebook and Skype.
The phone is very light and I really like Flyme .
Also another thing I found is that scrolling up and down on a webpage is sluggush and slow,just like an Apple phone.
I have owned 3 other Meizu model phones and they all had lightening fast scrolling.
Hi i'm waiting for m2 note,it will arrive next week for sure ..someone tested xposed ?

3rd Party Launcher
Have you tried installing other launchers on the phone (Nova Launcher, Google Now Launcher etc)??? PLease also try and put widgets using the custom launcher and see if it works.. I've found out that the Lenovo K3 Note does not accept widgets using custom launchers.. some users have also reported those launcher crashing

Hello
one of my friend bought a chinese version (Flyme 4.5A) by mistake.

Do you know if there is the possibility to flash an international firmware version?
Thanks in advance

Hello friend.
Did You try to install google installer apk through Meizu App Center?
Install this app and You will have google services and play store. After that You can install google apps through google play.
I have same version (Flyme 4.A) and i did it that way.
I hope You can fix it.
Super!
I'll tell her about it
And any solution for chinese voices and writings?

International version (I) only for international Meizus.
Universal version (A) You can install on both, International and chinesse Meizus. It is the version that is updated more frequently.
Chinesse version (U, C). From chinesse operators.
Have a good day.
And how can I know if the device is international or chinese one?
Only thing I know at moment is the firmware version (4.5A) and the origin (China web shop)
On the 4.5A there is a huge amount of chinese stuff, like google voice and many labels and guide text.
These features were not translated selecting Italian language.. Any solution?
Also, is there a repository to look for the international firmware version and is there some tool to flash it?

I think your version its like mine, you cant install International. I bought mine on china web shop too. Dont try to intall (I) firmware, follow with (A), its ok.
You can uninstall easilly all apps that remains on chinesse. There some features not translated to Spanish too.
Take a look on Spanish forums: Movilesdualsim and Htcmania. Theres lot of information about, some guides too.
I got my Meizu m2 note the other day. Living in Sweden. I'm happy about the phone overall, but one thing that bothers me is that you need to use the "security" app once in a while. Why? If I turn off the security app functions, the phone gets really slow after a while, app drawer lags, etc. Why do we need to use a security app when stock android remains fast even without it?
I really don't want this security app to kill applications etc, apps are not meant to be killed. This is a stupid feature of the phone and it seems I have to live with it, otherwise the phone gets sloooooow.
I can't wait to get it. I bought meizu phone,it's very good
I have problem with this phone and instagram/facebook. So when i wan't to uplad an video to fb or instagram it says it is not supported format. Sent that same video to my tab z and i can upload it. Tried few videos, all the same. Did latest update, hard reset, again.

Just received my Meizu M2 Note last week. One of the best phones I've used. Moving from a Moto x 2013, and definitely liking the upgrade so far. The system seems snappy and there was an OS update waiting for download out of the box. Using with a single Nano SIM and a 32GB Micro SD. The camera is absolutely fantastic, too. Totally smokes the Moto X's (and the Moto's OV sensor is brilliant).
FYI, if you install Google Play using the 'Google Play Installer' from the Meizu App Center you need to over write the Google Play Services with a 64bit version. You have to do this manually with a '448' version. You then need to disable auto updates from within the Meizu App Center otherwise it will overwrite this 64bit version with the previous incorrect version.
So, yeah, really happy so far

Axon 7 Chinese version help (A2017)

So I just yesterday got my Axon 7, which I got shipped from China as it was cheaper. Little did I know that there were different versions of the phone and the one I received was the A2017, which I have been told is the Chinese model.
This is my first actual Android phone so I have fairly limited experience, apart from playing around with my mates Nexus 6P (which I found very easy and intuitive to use), so I have a few questions/issues.
My problem is that the software the Axon came with is fairly different to the "Paired down version of Android Marshmallow ... to be as close as stock android as possible." shown in most review vids, even ones with the 6GB Ram Chinese model - eg. youtube.com/watch?v=xNOql_uuOAM
Here are some screenshots of my phone - imgur.com/a/6pOlh
The main problems I have noticed are:
The lack of app tray.
No google service apps.
A bunch of random, for the most part Chinese (even when system language is English), apps that I can't uninstall or even remove off of the home screen.
Different, non stock android icons for all apps.
I mean it isn't the end of the world, but I would love to get the normal android experience on this phone is basically what I am saying.
Sorry if this is a dumb question/easy fix, as I said this is my first time owning any android phone.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Just download Google Play Services and Google Play from APKMirror and install them manually, it worked for me.

Want to get official ota updates, if any in this stage of axons lifecycle. Would have flashed LineageOS but sound quality and loudspeaker bug holding me back. Until those get fixed, hopefully, sticking to stock Chinese rom for time being.

The rom is available in Xiaomi's forum: http://en.miui.com/thread-466349-1-1.html
Installing went fine and I've gotten things running. There are two major bugs despite their post saying "100% stable".
1) You cannot change the wallpaper in the settings. While I was able to change the home screen wallpaper with Nova launcher, I have not found a way to change the lock screen wallpaper. It will be stuck with the wallpaper of the custom boot image.
2) This rom is PLAGUED with "your device isn't compatible with this version" on the play store. It's nearly impossible to download your apps without using marketspoofer constantly. As a result, you won't be able to get updates for these apps. I'm talking about snapchat, spotify, etc. It's bad.
I'd highly advise against using this Rom for the time being. I'm switching back to Xiaomi.eu and will apply the 4g fix manually.

The lockscreen wallpaper bug exists on almost all MIUI ROMs. This is because you are using a different launcher from the stock one. Even I use Nova Launcher. The workaround to change lockscreen wallpapers is simple.
Go to settings>Installed Apps>Defaults
Change default launcher to System Launcher. Then press the home key so that the system launcher loads up. Now you can change your lockscreen wallpaper successfully and once you've done that, you can change the default launcher back to Nova. Sadly, this is the only way to do it and this bug isnt new. Has been there since a while.
I havent tried the Epic ROM so I can't comment on the issue with Playstore incompatibility.

I don't have such problem. All my apps are getting updates normally including the one you have mentioned. I have never seen the device isn't compatible error message with this rom. Not sure is something I do or something you do that's causing this. Been using the epic rom for more than 2 days now, buttery smooth and very good ram and battery management. Haven't noticed anything wrong so far.
Not having any issues whatsoever. Got like 100 apps from play store.

I guess no one else is facing issues with installing apps via Playstore. Maybe something got messed up during the ROM installation. Try clean flashing and it may solve the issue.
OP should maybe edit the title, it's a bit misleading as it seems like it's an isolated case, perhaps a clean flashing would solve the problem he is facing. With our community being this small, this post won't get sink that easily and for new comers, EPIC rom is a fantastic custom ROM

May be a coincidence,my personal set-up/apps disabled,IDK,but, I am now experiencing an issue similar to yours:
I have no problem loading or updating from the Google Play Store,but, I can no longer side-load apps. (Parsing Error)
I reverted to a GlobeROM backup that's based on the same update (7.1.5) & have no problems side-loading apps.

Interesting... I was able to install adaway, marketspoofer, xposed, etc fine. The ROM seems temperamental or just susceptible to isolated issues.

I have no problem loading or updating from the Google Play Store,but, I can no longer side-load apps. (Parsing Error)
I reverted to a GlobeROM backup that's based on the same update (7.1.5) & have no problems side-loading apps.

I just tried side-loading on the EPIC rom, and it's working for me. so far I haven't experienced any issue with this ROM, will update if I find anything new.

Another thing I forgot to mention was my Samsung Gear S2 wouldn't connect, the Gear Manager app crashed every time.
Works fine on EU & GlobeROM.
I'll try things out on the next EpicROM update,see if anything has changed,both as a dirty flash & starting from scratch.

I haven't tried EpicROM like I mentioned in another thread but I guess the reason some are experiencing issues with EpicROM is probably because the ROM has a lot of mods compared to the stock EU and Globe.
One of the mods I can recall is the Dolby Atmos sound mod. There are many other mods as well.
Hence dirty flashing the EpicROM may be the cause of the random issues. I assume the people who have no issues with Epic have done a clean install of the ROM.
This is one of the reasons why I don't prefer custom roms with a lot of mods. I always prefer having a base rom like EU and then manually modifying it to my requirements. That way I have a control over the mods and also helps me narrow down the cause of any issues that may arise.

I don't think epic rom has many mods (not yet at least). Actually the EU rom I installed has more mods than Epic, Epic has atom. My eu rom had arise viper, eu gps MOD, Dolby atom, scrolling animation MOD.
For me at least, I have only done dirty flash. So I came from clean 6.12.10 to 6.12.22 then to custom EU 6.12.29, then now custom Epic 7.1.5, all dirty from start.
That being said, I will see what epic provides on their next release. I may go back to custom EU as so far, I can't see any difference between them, but at least custom EU can select Arise and adaway pre-installed. Would save me 2 mins to install by myself.. Lol

I was referring to the weekly xiaomi.EU base ROM. I haven't noticed any mods on this ROM. I can confirm that there is no viper or dolby atmos because I don't see it anywhere in the ROM. I may be wrong and there may be some under the hood mods. But I haven't noticed anything so far.
I guess you may be referring to the MiGlobe ROM. Because nothing other than Gapps came pre-installed with the base EU ROM I am running.

You are correct, I said the name wrong. Was indeed referring to MiGlobe Rom.
No problem here. I used both of them and still using. Maybe u have to delete play Store data and retry it again. The rom is so far smooth here...

One UI 3.0 Released!

Hello
I just received the latest oneUI update 3.0 with Android 11.
I am in France on an Unlocked S20+ Exynos.
So far the 3 main things i have noticed , compared to OneUI 2.5.
1. The fingerprint recognition is way faster
2. The UI is very smooth
3. Battery life seems to have improved (Exynos)

I’ve read today that GoodLock will be available February 2021 for One UI 3.0
my question, does Magisk and xposed work right now?
Updated today. It's butter smooth
Can it be rooted yet?
Updated yesterday. Seems really good so far. Very smooth.
Nicelock models isn't working.
Omfg, i have never seen something so ugly as this OneUI 3 update. First thing that you notice after updating, is the new monstrous fingerprint icon. Secondly, the interaction with the phone when using a 3rd party launcher is buggy as hell. Using Nova Launcher and gestures navigation is buggy. Thumbs down Samsung for this update.

pretty sure using any 3rd party launcher on android 11 is buggy, even on pixels, so dont think that is Samsung specific

Camera Scene optimizer does not make any difference with this update.
Anyone else noticed this problem ?
Package disabler doesn't work anymore...
I hear that TMobile is getting their updates now. Does that mean that each carrier is taking a week to do their releases? In reverse alphabetical order? I am on AT&T, maybe the last to get it...
if anyone gets the at&t update please post what version it is thanks

Hello to all
Same problem with nova launcher .... after the update to 11, some gestures work incorrectly.
For example, once the screen is turned on and off, the screen turns on again for a few moments and then turns off again and permanently.
I wrote an email to "TeslaCoil Apps Customer Support" reporting the anomaly and they replied "That's an issue on Samsung's end that they introduced well over a year ago that you would need to contact them directly about".
Personally I think it's a Nova problem as with version 10 everything was going perfectly.
I hope for a launcher update where the problem is solved.
I attach a short video where you can see the problem.
Hello to all.
