    Post Go the Google way?

    If you can do without Google docs and drive, I say skip the Google hack. It's kinda risky. Even if you use the Mate XS as is without the hack, you can still use some Google services. Gmail still works through Microsoft Outlook. Google calendar works through Business Calendar. Google Maps load...

    Post Full guide to install Google services

    Thank you. Two questions: 1: the older method (from that Spanish video) worked for me. And even though there are error messages the first time I open any Google app, simply turning off the notification will stop it from popping up again. So I've been doing that with no real issues. Does the...

    Post LZPlay IS NOT working anymore - NO MORE GMS

    TechTablets basically got scammed. That website he listed NEVER worked, was NEVER the real LZ play. his phones had already installed GMS via the REAL LZPlay. He was cocky in the comments too -- when readers said "you debunked headlines!" he'd respond saying "yeah maybe those sites should...

    Post Huawei Mate 20 Pro: Known issues (EMUI 9)

    Want to add my two cents: The Mate 20 phones introduces a new swiping navigation system that is very very similar to Xiaomis implementation. After using iPhone X I do find traditional Android buttons outdated and waste of screen space so I like huaweis swiping alot. BUT while swiping works...

    Post [GUIDE/ADB] OPPO FIND X System Apps Safe To Uninstall/Disable Without Root

    So I also installed nova and had the same swipe navigation bug. But then I chose another swipe method (#4, "back on the left") and now my home swiping gesture works fine WITH nova. I am not sure if this is just unique to my device, but it appears the bug only affects the first swipe option...

    Post Home button solution for gestures and 3rd party launchers

    Hi Justin, thanks so much for all the help so far on this forum. But whole installing this app you suggested, I might have stumbled into a native fix for the "third party launched breaks swiping home button" thing. Like you, I went into adb and deleted stock Oppo launcher in favor of a custom...

    Post Are there any deal breakers in this gorgeous device?

    1: The mechanism feels very durable, and 95% of the time the camera pops up fast. I have encountered 5% of time when the camera would pop up but the camera app takes an additional second or two to load. 2: nope. Unable to use nova launcher unless you into adb and do all types of advanced phone...

    Thread Anyone able to get a third party launcher on this? (pls, only ppl with phone answer)

    Anyone here manage to get a third party launcher on the find X? I am so annoyed that, Oppo, like Vivo, made the process just about impossible it seems. On the Vivo NEX, at least you just need to sign up for a vivo account. But on the find X, even with an Oppo account I can't get nova on. The...

    Post Root and custom ROM support

    Jesus, yes I've tried it. This is the last time I'm answering this: YOU CANNOT USE NOVA OR ANY THIRD PARTY LAUNCHER UNLESS YOU HAVE A VIVO ACCOUNT with the Nex. This is a NEW development, as the Vivo X21 can handle third party launcher without a Vivo account fine. I have no idea how, despite...

    Post Root and custom ROM support

    ---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ---------- [/COLOR] I have the vivo x21 (and oppo r15 pro) too. The Nova problem is unique to the nex. I was able to get Nova on the vivo x21 and oppo r15 pro fine. But in nex you MUST HAVE A vivo account. Trust me...

    Post Root and custom ROM support

    I have the Nex. To answer some questions here: No google out of box but vivo's app store has a "Google installer" app that gives you Google play store and services framework. After that just go into the actual play store and load up the rest. So far everything running fine. Can't install third...

    Post Root and custom ROM support

    I have the Vivo Nex now. Can't use third party launcher unless you sign up for a vivo account which can only be done with a China phone number. This is a new development as I was able to get nova on vivo x21 without account. Really annoying.

    Post Slow up-take? Are people buying this phone? Are you happy?

    Dude.... Most of these problems you should have KNOWN before you made the purchase. Like, you like physical home button and the Mate 9 specific single button gesture. You don't like Android oreo... You don't like back fingerprint reader... Then why buy it? And why sells the Mate 9 pro so fast...

    Post Considering trading my note 8 for an S8 plus

    I'm late to this thread but this is just an insane comment. Both the s8+ and note 8 are so so so so similar and virtually the same phone save for a stylus and a second camera that can take gimmick bokeh shots. I get this is a note forum but holy hell the way some of y'all trash the s8+ and act...
