Guys,
anyone had luck with installing Gapps? I can get all of the necessary files in their places, but I get the "problems parsing image" error. I am able to modify protected content mounting R/W on root explorer paid version.
I am thinking I need the correct version of Gapps. Can one of the XDA geniuses please help me out.
Thanks,
Rob

Supposedly the CM4.x gapps would work, but I haven't given it a look yet. Also I vaguely remember someone else posting about how the google stuff isn't 100% working due to some connection issues.
We are attempting to get Market to work and am having connection issues. Here is the thread.
Android Market Support (Vending.apk)
I found a link to applanet which is great for market, I just need a calendar that can sync.
Hi!
Have anyone already tried to compile stunnel for galaxy tab?
I saw somebody that could compiled it for android 2.1 and make it possible to be used at my backflip (http://blog.tempest.com.br/marco-carnut/autenticacao-mutua-https-android-stunnel.html, in Portuguese). Although, I didn't find anybody that managed to do the same for Froyo and the version compiled there can't be run on GTAB.
So, can anyone compile stunnel with SSL support for me or help me to do that?
I have already tried to download android SDK and NDK to cross-compile it but I had no luck. After some modifications, I got an executable that doesn't show anything on screen...
Thanks,
Ronan
Maybe tunneloid can be used instead. Sorry, cant post links, but it is available via google and/or market.

Thanks for the answer, I really think it should work for what I need. Unfortunately, I just can't find it at Market or the .apk at internet and it seems to be only in Japanese.
Thanks!
Is there a chance that the custom roms can be used in these china versions? I am tired of the blinkfeed screen and would like a custom rom installed to get rid of this. Not sure if these roms can be used without destroying 2 sim card support.
thanks.
just install a different launcher if you dont want blinkfeed
I'm not sure whether ROMs will work on your variant (but I'd guess that they would) but as long as you're rooted with a custom recovery installed then you could always try it and see if you can install them or not. Of course, just make sure that you make a backup beforehand so if anything goes wrong, you can make sure that you can recover your phone to a working state.
You don't actually need to install a custom ROM to get rid of blinkfeed though. If you take a look at Q12 on the HTC One FAQ, you'll see that there are 2 ways you can "get rid" of blinkfeed without needing to install a ROM.
*NOTE* As this is a question, you shouldn't have posted your thread in the development section. I've just asked a moderator to move your thread to the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Please remember to use that section if you have any further questions.

So far all 3 recovers in one forum can not be flahsed into One 802w. So there is no way to root it at this moment.
Not sure any recovery can be made for 802w or not.

If you can read Mandarin I would recommend trying out this site. It's probably the best and most reliable of the Chinese sites for custom Rom and rooting solutions for PRC specific devices: http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=1257
Just want to Root and install Google Apps
Hi Guys Im not looking for a custom rom, but would like to be able to root my 802W so that I can install google apps.

The poster above you posted a link to the Chinese HTC One forums. From what I can gather they have already rooted it and have Roms available. Maybe your wife can help you out with understanding it. I can't repost the link because my post count is too low but it is the bbs gfan URL above.

Once i get it figured out I will write up and make the files available for other english speaking 802W users.

The HTC store is absolutely useless. There are so many things that are not available on it. But if you bought this phone in China, then you have no choice as the Play Store and any Google services are banned. I had to install a custom tweaked ROM that had google services on it to enable everything again.
Hi there,
I just purchase HTC ONE M7 802W (china unicom version with 2 simcard)
But Since I Need google framework (google appslaystore, map, gmail, google contact etc etc etc more importantly, I live in Indonesia)
Then I guess I need to install the google apps into my HTC one.
The question is:
Is it possible to install the google apps without flashing
Rooted 802w from Shenzhen?
May you let me know if I could buy one from your friend in Shenzhen rooted?
I am very interested.
I got a brand new galaxy s4 phone from my girlfriend which she bought in China. The phone is cool. But after I started to use it, I realized the phone would not do anything with Google apps. I live in US and I need my apps, not all those apps from China which only give you Chinese references. I need help! I am brand new to this and I have no idea how to fix this problem. Thanks.

Well, this forum is for the S4 Active, not the S4, so first you have to go to the right forums.
Here's a link for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2162
Then you check the threads there for information on rooting and fixing your problem.
This Is My First Shot at making something for this device,so please bear with me.
This Is A Custom Stock ROM that has been debloated and slimmed down a bit to my personal liking.
ive used SuperR's Kitchen on Ubuntu to bring this to you guys.
i used Captain_Throwbacks Metro Base ROM as a starting point.
i will include my list of apps that i have removed in the second post.
i would suggest a factory reset and dalvik/ART wipe
as always,if your device explodes or stops working,i assume no responsibility for any damages or data loss.
flash at your own risk.
if anyone has any suggestions and/or input,please feel free.
im no developer,just taking a shot at this.
the goal is to remove as much bloatware as possible,whilst maintaining stability.
:highfive:
i added /data/app support as well as busybox & deodexed the ROM.
im currently uploading my first build to google drive and will share links shortly.
bear with me as i dont have the best internet connection.
DeZiREv5K
OP Updated with newer build.
Code:
6-14-16 build changelog
--Removed HTC Launcher(replaced with google now launcher)
--updated play store to latest version
--updated HTC Service pack to latest and integrated back into ROM(no longer needs Seperate download)

6-16-16 build changelog
---removed google play launcher & replaced with nova launcher(issue with installment on first boot)
6-19-16 build changelog

Yeah it's required
Just looking at channel log I'm assuming this is still relevant. I'm on V3 and with some frustration (I don't have Wi-Fi and had to trick my 6yr old laptop to boot up) I got it running well.
As someone who has hard bricked smart phones since the xv6800, this is a first good go. Inspires me to start cooking my own roms.
Suggestion: A file browser would have made it so much smoother. No one with half a brain will ***** about es file explorer or root browser being cooked in. Fortunately bad habits inspired me to always backup original stock. Most people would've been screwed there. Dirty flash. Pdanet. Got it all up and going.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to any tweakings you find out of my league

Thank you for the input,much appreciated.also,i updated OP with a newer build that uses nova launcher as default and puts back a few apks that got cutout by mistake.
My phone got simlocked after trying this ROM. It's still locked even after restoring the nanodroid backup I made prior to flasing this ROM.
I'm not in the US sooo I am not using sprint.
Any advice?

This ROM is based off of the original Stock MetroPCS USA variant,i didnt add anything that would potentially affect your simlock status.ive only removed stuff that was already there.
If youre not in the US and youre not using MetroPCS Variant of the phone,you shouldnt be flashing this ROM to be 100% honest.flashing incompatable firmwares across devices can sometimes lead to bricks.whats your Carrier and device?

I agree. It's very unusual.
I got this phone from a local phone shop. The owner seem to have unlocked the phone with some kind of service. I contacted my carrier who wrote down a couple of numbers from inside the phone (including the original phone number) and boom, I was able to use the phone with my number.
I have a theory about the error. Maybe you could see if that makes sense:
Maybe the phone isn't locked. But after a factory reset it keeps trying to "activate" the phone using the methods given by sprint.
There's this one step during the initial setup (right after factory resetting the phone) where it tries to register the phone, and fails. This step takes at least tem minutes and returns an error that locks up the phone.
I think the phone assumes that it's locked because it's not able to "reach" sprint servers and denies all incoming and outgoing calls/messages because of this.
If you know a way out of this please let me know.
Another user also provided me with an app that seems to be solving the issue. But it's not marshmallow compatible. Any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks a lot. And great debloating work you did there

Again,what is your Carrier?if youre using anything other than MetroPCS USA,you should not use this ROM.thats #1.#2 is if youre using sprint,you should get the RUU to return the phone to factory software,and i assume youre using sprint because our Metro devices havent gotten MM yet,and you mentioned it.
And yes,CDMA/Sprint phones will not work correctly if theyre not provisioned from the carrier correctly.so if the activation is failing,then youre not going to be able to use the device to send messages etc until its activated correctly.
Suggestion,try using nightbreeds MM ROM thats for those kinds of carriers.

Oh lesson learned. I'm from Yemen and my carrier is YemenMobile (CDMA). I don't know why but I assumed that the phone won't mind the ROM since it was kinda unlocked. SORRY.
The phone was saying Sprint when I bought it. I think I'm going to get back to factory and see if that does the trick. :-/
My extended apologies
