What happens with my bought apps?

Hello
I am very close to rooting my device - however I have one last question before I do it.
What happens to the apps I've bought when I install a new firmware?
How will the phone know I've paid for them?
Thank you.

It is linked to your google account, so as long as you use the same account, the device will know which programs you have paid for, and will let you download them again.

okay - thanks!

HTC One 802W (Unicom version with 2 sim)

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.
Is there any known way to do this yet?
If there is a website in Chinese with instructions on how to do this, then please send me the URL, and hopefully my wife can translate as I try and step my way through.

Hi guys, those who have bought this phone, are you able write a short review of the phone? Especially how does the htc store app compare to google play? This would really help people like me who wants to buy the phone.

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.

I have downloaded the files..
but the clockworkmod recovery files are not .zip files so cannot be flashed... they are .exe files.. but when i try and run them on my computer..i just get the gibberish as shown in the screen shot?....
are you able to help me with this please?
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.

Custom Roms

I saw in another post that the kernel source got released, Im new to this, I was reading a post about how to create custom roms and all that, and i was wondering , we do need root access to get the system files and all that to begin working on a rom ?
What i wanted to do was basically a full stock lollipop rom, but with the Axon Software ( Camera, Dolby Digital, and a few other things ).
I dont have any background expirience creating roms, but whats leading me to this is , loving the phone but hating the toggles, and a few other software bugs ive encountered.
I have some programming knowledge, and I will make this my little side project if theres any chance for it to be done. If anyone has some background and wanna help/teach me, ill be thankfull.
This is the link I been following.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690

I have no programming knowledge, but I'll gladly provide moral support and encouragement in this endeavor! A stock lollipop rom with ZTE features would be spectacular.

I know right ? Well, If by any chance it can be done, ill keep trying. I guess first we need root.

I would like to support this and I have some java and c++ programming experience. The only problem is that there hasn't been any word on root methods or bootloader unlock methods. Supposedly ZTE phones come bootloader unlocked already, but I haven't been able to prove this since we can't access the bootloader via fastboot :/ if we can at least get root that would be a good start.

Marshmallow on Axon Elite?
Hi all,
I came across this poat while checking for new ROMS. If this checks out I would happily go for the Elite as the price point and features are value for money. For those of you who do have it can you confirm that this is actually a Marshmallow ROM.

What's up with all of the surveys?

That's what I thought but beyond that has anyone managed to actually get the ROM and verify it to be working?
I am on the cross roads for a new phone.

I was hoping to get the Elite and be able to flash it as the phone had a lot of potential!

You need to install Google Play Services and Google Services Framework. You will need to sideload these apk's. You will need to Google them.

Please, how can i upgrade my ZTE AXON Elite to Android 6.0? Is it posisible? Thanks

Marshmallow isn't available for this device yet.

When will a custom ROM appear for the Axon Pro?I hate all these chinese stuff and i would like to have the option to reset the phone and redo all the Gmail account,without the phone asking me for the last gmail account.I bought the phone from a friend and i did a reset later that day and it kept asking me for the old account.It sayd that the phone was reset and needs the old account and i couldn't go forward because it kept connecting to google and asked for the old account.I had to use my friends account again to use the phone.I want a simple rom,without this stupid connection to google and other chinese stuff.Any idea when a rom will be available?

No clue but now that you have your friends Google account you should be able to delete it and add your own.

I'm surprised that there isn't any custom roms for this phone yet,i mean its a phone with 4gb of ram,810 Snapdragon so its pretty powerful.

I did a factory reset and it keeps saying that the phone was reset and i need to enter the gmail account that was previously entered.I also tried entering 15-20 time in a row ,because a lot of people say on forums that on note 4 and other phones if you enter the wrong account,the phone will reset and it will let you enter another account.On ZTE this doesn't work .

Nothing new for the AXON PRO?

[Help] Convert Chinese Samsung Galaxy Mega SCH-P729 to an English Firmware.

Hi Guys,
My uncle has been overseas in China recently and has bought the phone listed in the title for his kids. Unfortunately some of the phones features do not work here in Australia. He has asked me to flash some new software onto the phone so it works here.
Is it possible for this phone to be flashed?
Does any software exist that can be flashed onto this phone (CyanogenMod or any other roms).
Thanks guys.
I know this isn't the correct forum but I tried to find the closest to the forum to the phone I could find. If somebody knows a better place please direct me there.
Thanks again.

Cannot update Galaxy Watch 3, it says "Watch software update: Registration failed"

Hi everyone.
As the title says, I just got a brand new Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 (45mm, if that matters) and I'm having trouble updating it. I can set it up just fine and notifications and everything works correctly. But once I try to update its software, it says "Watch software update: Registration failed" (please see screenshot below).
My Watch is model SM-R840 running Tizen 5.5.0.1, build number R840XXU1BTK1.
Can anyone help me please? I tried googling but couldn't find anything other than some sketchy stuff about flashing new firmware, etc.
I tried it on a Samsung Galaxy phone as well as on a Google Pixel. I tried resetting, etc., but nothing seems to work...
