Has anyone gotten google play to work? I like what I see. It does seem quicker, It recognizes 4G LTE for my carrier, and it supports wifi calling, but I can't get Google play to work.

 

[UNDR8D83]

that link i provided was the hassle free way of getting it to work instead of manually installing it with google installer apk

also check ur data connection management n make sure play store has permission to connect to data

 

[Monk3y]

I tried yesterday with clean install, with and without gapps, with and without Google installer nothing worked... Play store still not working

 

[UNDR8D83]

it worked for me on my first install, but in saying that since u mentioned it i did a full wipe and re-installed and now its not working for me either...very strange

try this for now http://xiaomitips.com/download/google-installer-app/

im charging my phone atm cos i full drained it playing around too much haha but i'll try too n come back with results

 

[UNDR8D83]

ok dont know how i managed it the first time but seems the link i provided is no go so i'll be ammending my first post but here is how i got gapps working now

install the google installer v2 apk n install as instructed, but this will still not get it working 100%

then goto the APKMirror.com and download the lastest framwork and play store apk's and install

BOOM! everything works again

Can someone check if Smart Lock works on this ROM? Seems like previous releases had issues with this feature.

Thanks.

Is the IR still blocked for 3rd party apps?

Smart lock settings do open this time. Didn't test beyond that, though.

Well I have finally got this firmware working. The gapps are working and I rooted it and deleted all the Chinese bloat. It runs real smooth and fast. Since it was a Chinese firmware/ROM and is technically not meant for US, but does support band 12, it has Wi Fi calling. If it was released here, T-MOBILE would probably have stopped that. Nice feature on an awesome phone. The only thing lacking is sd card support.

sorry wrong

It's very easy. First install your firmware, then through fastboot, install twrp recovery and flash SuperSU to root. After you reboot, go back into twrp recovery and flash the google apps file. Here's a link to a YouTube video on how to do it. They also do root in the video, but you do not need to do their way. https://youtu.be/OuIjlX5vSXs

Thanks, looks like I just bricked it ;-(. I keep you posted.

Edit: (30 minutes later): Its back !! Wow thats scary !! No LED light nothing. Battery was at 90% when this happened.

How did you brick it? Did you do clean install? This method should not cause brick, bootloop at the very worst, but not brick. Place it on the charger and see if it will accept a charge. If the LED lights up, it is taking on a charge, let it take on charge and try restarting it in a couple hours.

After replacing recovery rom I got screen as shown in other thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/twrp-twrp-3-0-2-0-testing-help-gemini-t3396582

Left side of screen shows o.k, other half shows strange.
Than not going into recovery or fastboot anymore (bootloop).
Turning it off.

Power light is not coming on also during "charging".
No LED light. Nothing. Battery was at 90% when this happened. Recovery rom is gone.

i had a similar expeience. I didnt like way it was behaving with the new ROM so I decided to apply my most recent TWRP backup. After reboot its bricked. No led then blue led etc. I can still enter fastboot and commands complete but it will not boot TWRP and go to blue led. I have asked for help on another thread but no replies yet.
All help and suggestions please

Thanks Madmicro , that's exactly same here. The rom itself still boots up now.
FYI, I am on the EUI 5.8 developers rom
