Hi. I recently change my phone ROM to a custom one, after one year using the phone just as it came.
I installed Pixel Experience+, which its great, but there's two stock apps that I miss: Mi Screen Recorder and Mi security app.
Stock screen record was awesome: Just one touch on status bar to start recording, a floating button to start/stop and it let you record system audio and mic audio, choose 1080/720, 30/60 fps, etc. The Pixel experience+ one its just start/stop and nothing else, I don't even know if it's HD.
Security app was great too: Good trash cleaner, and a App Lock option by pin/fingerprint that it works great.
Is there a way to install those apps in Pixel Experience rom ? I tried to install apkmirror apks but it didn't work. Maybe it's something that it needs to be flashed. Or something that it just can't be done, that's why im asking.
Thanks!
ps: I just intalled the ROM, I didn't root the phone.
Some of them.
Short answer is NO at the moment there isnt any zip file that you flash it and boom Mi apps installed. (like the gapps) What you can do is to track & find which Mi-apps you want to install (manually).
What i had done in the past was to find the Mi Home launcher apk and the gallery i thing if you search you may find more apks but keep in mind that you can replace every single one app, just search for an alternative.

Thanks for the answer. That's bad new, I really liked those apps.
Yeah, I tried to download Screen Recorder and Mi Security apks from akpmirror and install it, but I couldn't.
I guess I'll have to try a third part app lock and screen recorder. Any suggestion?
uum... try to avoid 3rd party app lock (your custom rom may include that option already) as for screen recorder nop i dont have any suggestion. :|

I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
Hi everyone,
I'm encountering real problems trying to flash Action Launcher 3 as a system app. I want to find a way to do it without having to reinstall it every update.
Currently running the last update of LAOS 14.1. I think some kinda of flashable zip could be a solution, but I'm not able to find one that works.
Let me know.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Now it is called "Action Launcher: Pixel Edition", not "Action Launcher 3" anymore.
If anyone is still wondering, I made a zip with the proper file to keep whatever application you want after every system update! (It should work also with bootlogo or boot animation). If anyone is interested, I'd like to build some more flexible application to do this! Let me know.
Hi all. New to the forum. I have been searching the web for the last hour or two and haven't found a solution to my problem. I have used the search feature on this forum trying to find a solution but I don't think there's a thread for it. Im trying to install the showbox app. So I clicked the let unverified apps download button. We're good there. Now after I download it I go to file manager and try to install it, but when I click the install button the phone doesn't do anything. Almost as if it's not registering the touch to the install button on the screen. Tons of people have had these issues. Many other forums and videos say to uninstall or close out your screen filter apps or screen apps. I have no such apps. Version 4.95 and older I have all tried, the same thing happens. . Any Insight on how I can get this app installed please let me know. And if there is a thread send me a link. Thanks.

try with a file manager such as root browser maybe?
@BrewCrew94!!, since you mentioned the Install button that means you made it to the Package Installer so we can rule out the ROM's file manager.
You don't say what ROM you're running. For a time there was a package installer bug that plagued some ROMs. That was eventually fixed though.
If it is an overlay problem there could be something missed that's blocking the install button. Even a ROM's built-in appbar could do that.
You could maybe try Install Button Unlocker from the Play Store. If that helps then there is an overlay issue somewhere. If not, then not sure at this point.

Standard problem, when some kind of overlay app is installed as many of those use the top layer of overlays.
Every button on a deeper layer does not work in this case.
Thanks for the responses! OK so on my axon 7 I haven't a clue about what rom I am running. Nothing custom so I'm assuming I am running the latest version. I recently downloaded MI Favor. I could Check the settings later. I found a solution to the problem by creating a new user on the phone and strictly only downloaded it. It works through the file manager but doesn't work on my main phone user with all my apps. I heard of the overlay issues but I couldn't figure out what the problem app could be.
I mentioned that Install Button Unlocked app, well, I think that publisher has a companion app to identify overlays. There are others like that also. Maybe one of those can help ID what's blocking the installs.

I have updated the new showbox
Hello!
I installed the file and updated the free version of showbox v5.26!
I'm running Lineage 17.1 Nightly without GAAPs. And the AOSP camera is terrible. Every photo comes out blurry.
I tried installing Gcam V.2.2.1 from Arnova8G2 and OOS camera apks from mirror apk but nothing works. After install I get the same problem, "Camera Keeps Stopping".
Does anyone know of a work around for this. I can't get any camera apk working, (other than the stock pre-installed AOSP camera)
You can't just use the OOS Camera. You need a bunch of other libraries and such to make the OOS camera work.
Once I find a GCam that everything works on I tend to just stick with it. On 17.1 I'm using, 7.2_GCam_Urnyx05-v2.1.apk.
Look here, download GCam from here. (I would start by trying 2.1 since it works for me.)
Other versions are here if you want to try them.
Next to the 2.1 download click the configs link, scroll down to OnePlus 6/6T. These are XML files, I would download the first one natural / noiseless. You can try others later if you want. In internal storage of your device create a folder called GCam, inside that folder create one called Configs7. Place that XML that you just downloaded (oneplus6t-more-naturally-and-noiselessly-v2.xml) inside Configs7.
Now when you open the camera double tap the black area near the button that takes a picture, and select that XML.

Thank you so much! I did followed everything you said, but I still have the same problem. The app force closes before I get the chance to add the config. I tried enabling all of the permissions from "app info" along with allowing it to "modify system settings". But it still force closes

Just out of curiosity, Does installing WebView fix it? ? (You can uninstall it if it doesn't).
Im trying to think of what might be different since this works for me. Some apps require webview and will crash immediately if you dont have it. The LOS browser should work for this, but I've found for many apps it doesn't. There is a a library that is required for WebView on some ROMs (like Omni), but Ive never needed it on LOS.

Sorry for the late reply. I installed webview, but that didn't change anything.
It's also worth noting that after flashing Lineage, I lost my TWRP recovery. I then flashed Magisk through Lineage's supplied recovery.
I wish there was a simple solution for this. I came from OmniRom and Omni had the stock OOS camera and it was great! But without GAAPS installed, Omni is way too glitchy for my liking. That's the only reason why I'm using Lineage, to avoid random app force closures....guess I didn't avoid it entirely with the camera issue

Wait.... Several things in there. So did you use the MicroG version of Omni then? As Omni can use Gapps if you use the regular build of Omni? Next did you just flash LOS straight over Omni? This maybe giving you issues. Also that GCam folder must be in place otherwise it won't work, you did that step right? As for recovery, yes, you have to flash TWRP after LOS to keep TWRP.
I have a Lineage Install Guide here. The second post has the cliff notes version if you want. However the long version does have some extra stuff in it, like passing safety net and such.

Yes, I tried the micro-g version on Omni...twice. I haven't tested the standard version yet. When I flashed Omni, however, I didn't flash it over OOS. It was a clean flash.
I did not flash Lineage over anything either.
Yes I have that GCam folder in my internal storage, as instructed.
Appreciate the info, I'll check out your install guide!
Edit: Worth mentioning that when I used Omni. Both times, there was a broken google search bar at the top of the app home screen page. Couldn't get rid of widget, use it, nor move it. It was stuck in place, and no longer said "Google". It was an entirely blank search bar.

The apps need to be ported, to can work with a different OEM that use a different framework, check if this old version still works https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-2-1-notes-google-keep-alternative-with-export-import.1946262/ if not, search for "Miui notes app ported" or something similar.
