Hi guys,
I bought a China Mobile M35t, which is pretty much the same as Xperia SP except that it runs on China Mobile's proprietory 4G Network.
The bad news is, Google's been erased from the phone, which means I can't sync my contacts (and there are many).
I have played around with the phone and have rooted it and it now has Google Play Store. But I still can't sync my contacts, and some apps are blocked to me on the Play Store. I suppose the workaround may be to use another country's SIM but that still doesn't help me with the contacts.
SO my question is, can I use an American Xperia SP ROM? It would be self-defeating if I somehow lose the 4G.
thanks,
Mark
So, you are running wich version of Android ? the 4.1.2 ? So, you can download a Internationnal ROM, and extract contactprovider.apk it may work in your phone : Just put it on /system/app and put permission rw r r
Or directly flash the .254 with flashtool
Deleted as there was a double post. Apologies.
Android version is 4.1.2. THe build number listed is 12.0.C.2.42.
Do you think installing an international ROM will work on this phone?
Try to install .254 with flashtool, you'll be fixed

Im not sure but.. if your china model have exactly same hardware specification i think you can... try it but find a m35t rom first to flash if it fails
edit: sorry didnt saw ppl answer allready
Hi WingKwan,
Yup I did! I had to revert it to the previous ROM (by flashing the phone, and installing the official ROM), rooted it, and installed the necessary Google apps. So it now runs Google Now, Play and other apps. The only downside is I can't update the ROM when the 4.3 is released. Oh, and Google Play lists quite a few apps as 'incompatible' with my phone, but the workaround is installing those apps through other stores.
that's alright. Thanks for being helpful!

If Google play has incompatible apps then use build prop editor to change m35t to c5303 Google play will then see your handset as a global sp and let you install apps accordingly

Hi guys, I realize it has been a while, but I have one (hopefully) last question about my phone.
My google apps are all running smoothly, but I realized that my location services has a feature missing.
In Settings -> Location services ->
I only have one option/slider, which is 'Access to my location'. I do not have anything else, and it is a blank space below 'Location Sources'.
I have read that our phones should have
Settings -> Location services -> Use wireless network
So, my question is, how do I get my phone to use the WI-FI for location, as opposed to always using GPS? There should be a Google setting app I'm missing (I think).
thanks,
Mark

Somehow I also managed to root them, still not sure with which tool as I used 3 and none finished the job without errors...
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I first rooted it last year (.42), but when I updated the stock ROM, I couldn't root it again. I was then forced to flash my phone and reinstall .42. I have been using it since.
All my Google apps are running, but honestly sometimes I wonder if it is worth it. Google is blocked in China, and I can't use Google Now. Maps crashes intermittently even when I'm not using it. On top of all that, my phone has become very slow despite using Greenify and Smart Booster. By checking Settings > Apps , I can see that the bulk of our 1GB RAM is exhausted by Avast (ok, I'm paranoid) and the Google Play Services, which constantly restarts. I didn't have this problem outside China, so I can only assume it is due to the block on Google.
What is really strange is, Chinese apps can determine my location using WiFi behind the scenes.

Not sure if this has been questioned already, I'm having a mess around with a few ROMs on my HTC One, if I install a ROM with Sense/HTC ROM on the phone it all works perfectly fine and flawlessly, as soon as I install a Google Edition ROM or CM etc it wont let me download any apps giving me the Error 403 on the Play Store. I've tried all the solutions and none work, wondering if anyone shares the problem or knows a fix.
Thanks, Dan.
Seems like you're out of luck if you've tried "all the solutions".
Sarcasm aside, list what you have done so people know what you've done, how you did it and then maybe they can offer some assistance.

Well by all the solutions I mean I've literally spent hours doing all the obvious ones, clearing proxies, clearing Google Play Services, Play Store and the Download Managers caches, datas etc. Removed my account, rebooted whilst doing all this. Signed in with a different Google Account, I literally cannot find another solution anywhere, sorry for being vague.
It must be a problem on Google's side. The same thing occurs with my Xperia Z, and I've tried all the fix suggestions on both stock and PA 4.0

FEB 11, 2014
Google Play Store is experiencing yet another partial downtime and is bringing up the dreaded 403 error message for a good number of Android users.
Actually this error has come up once in a while, often randomly and without any explanation given afterwards. It's not exactly a fatal error but it does prevent users from downloading or updating apps. It can be an annoyance and an inconvenience at worst.
Unfortunately for users, there isn't really anything they can do about it, other than wait, and maybe complain.

i have the same problem before
Hi all, i have an Ascend P7-L00. knew everything was gonna be crap when i did a first sign in of google. but didn't noe it was going to be this bad.
1.) Google Accounts can't sync contacts. i have tried formatting the phone a few times
2.) mobile signal on slot1 will drop every once in awhile
3.) GPS signal will drop every few km travelled
4.) installed nova launcher cos the stock is real slow! my 2yrs old note2 doesnt have non of those issues at all. haiz.
Don't have the issue with sync, but I have the P7_L10 though.
Reception of signal is little more worse when I compare it with my prev phone: Sony Xperia S
Speed is good in my opinion.
haiz, now in thailand, using a local sim on slot1, occasionally it will show i am roaming, and no data is available, turning on data roaming doesnt get internet back on also.

I am experiencing similar problems with:
1) same problems for the google account. other people found solutions, but i just use outlook account instead for the time being. as remember the P7-L00 is a China unicom phone. so i try to workout how to report these to Huawei. buy i think you can send email to their USA or Europe support center: [email protected]
i will try to write a summary and send to this address. i think you need to do the same. otherwise no one knows what is going on?
2) 4G lte ( i am using Telstra's 1800mhz 4G), some times the signal drops, and the phone is trying to scan for wifi even i had wifi turned off. looks like there are some bugs there. it is very annoying when i am using skype to chat with someone, the in every few minutes i need to turn on the data again. somehow it switches off by itself, then start to scan for wifi ( even with the wifi disabled)? i did not see this problem until i start to use skype.....
4) the phone is very fast after i had removed/ disabled most of the Chinese apps. it is faster than my note 7105 lte.
hope anyone else can share some of the experience about these.

i have just updated this new 124 version. it seams a bit smoother. but i will test the 4G LTE signal drop issues to see if the new version fix the problem. the new rom has new baseband. i think it may help the signal in 4G/3G, etc.

i would try to unroot it first. and doing a factory reset, then install the new factory 124ps01 firmware. I have two sim cards, the OTA is not ready yet, so i installed the upgrade via usb drive. just connect to a usb drive to your phone, and select update from usb.
most chinese apps can be removed, then only few huawei's apps which can be disabled. the new firmware experience is good, especially the network signal, and battery performance. i left the phone with airplane mode at 11:00 pm, and this morning at 9:00, it did not even drop 1% at all. tried few skype and other voip calls, and found that the 4G signal is more stable than before. the phone is also very fast. i was trying to root the phone before, but giving up due the new firmware does not allow root at this moment. but i think the factory firmware is optimized and it is very fast - much faster than my note 2 that i can compare with. so i am happy. i will give it a few more days test to see how it is going.

How to install Gapps to P7-L00
Everyone having problems with Google service on his/her P7-L00 (or other Chinese market variant) should be aware of the bad news: the phone simply lacks the good-old Google apps. But the good news is that you can install all required apps without rooting and/or flashing the phone. You can install them as any other Play app. It is so because the firmware has built-in two core apps: the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk. These apps enable to install further Google apps.
The simplest way is to search the web for 'Google Installer' app (I think here, in XDA it's also present), download it and install to phone, and then the app itself provides a list from which you can choose the apps you need (Play Store, Gmail, Search, Hangouts, Translate -- whatever!).
Take note that both GoogleCalendarSync and GoogleContactSync app are very important to install otherwise you would not be able to use you Contact and Calendar apps with your Google account.

Hi guys this are the problems that i noticed after the update. This thread is specially for XT1058 but they could be in any builds too
why we dont have the full material launcher ?
sometimes my moto voice starts up without/with any command even in pocket.
moto voice's resposiveness is less than KK one. ----> this happens because of custom launch phrase.
and my phone does not go into sleep mode even after passing of time set in settings .
does anyone have this problems ??
David schuster told that there were some bugs in final release and they're planning updates for them.

Not sure what you mean about the launcher. The Moto X has always has a slightly modified launcher. You can download the Google Launcher from the store.
I did have the same issue with the phone not going to sleep. I rebooted and have not had the problem since, though I can't say for sure yet that it won't happen again.
I'll tell you what problems I faced.
- 1st fresh install, complete sbf: after 24 hs of using it without problems, the phone freezed, rebooted and after the bootanimation bum! black screen. It was on because if I held power button I can see the power off banner. After many reboots getting the same results, I decided to factory reset. And just in case, I reflashed Boot and System.
- 2nd fresh install: I'm getting the static noise bug on moto voice, WiFi toggle dissapears sometimes...
I don't want to keep playing this with a joke rom. I wish I stayed on KK.
CM here I go...
I took an OTA and no problem since. Has it ever occurred to you that you cause the problems you described by not following the general practice? Why sbf? Why not OTA?

Well I own a Movistar 1058 so I flashed retail Brazil for 1058 (it works for every 1058 latam).
I also flashed manually (mfastboot). I think it's 'cleaner' than RSD (and by the way I've never used RSD). Besides I have always used mfastboot to flash stock KK after using custom roms and never had a problem. So I discard the method to be the culprit. Aaand, I've seen others reporting same issues too.
Hello,
I've updated to 5.1 recently and made Factory Reset.
Problems:
1) Google GMail app does not support Exchange Account - for some reason Lolipop has separate application for exchange accounts -_- which is worthless because GMail should support it by default, thats very annoying for me, i dont want to use extra apps.
2) Sometimes BACK button doesnt work when i finish scrolling through Facebook app and i am forced to minimize the app and then restore it again.
3) Sometimes, especially after i unplug the phone from the charger, my screen doent want to go to sleep, it just literally sucks my battery life, only thing that helps this bug is a restart
Those are 3 major things that annoy me after update.
Is it only me with the Exchange problem or everybody else got this thing messed up ? I was really hoping to setup exchange on my Gmail app after the update....

Google TTS distortion Moto X AT&T 5.1
I updated to 5.1 on XT1058 AT&T variant of Moto X 1st gen on 7/7/15.
When I have Moto read aloud my text messages the audio output is highly distorted. When I listen to podcasts I have no distortion. If I go to settings/language & input/Text-to-speech output/ and press Listen to an example it is distorted.
In the past with KitKat 4.4.4 I was able to uninstall the latest version of Google TTS which resolved the problem. With the 5.1, neither the current version of Google TTS dated 7/8 nor uninstalling the current version work to solve the issue.
Does anyone have this issue?
Has anyone found a solution?
I tired listening to a tts example it was very clear, my tts version is 3.4.6.1819666.arm you can try it with other tts engine. There are some engines available on play store
What drives me nuts is the stutter I get when swiping away my recent apps. But no other issues so far for me.

I am using the same version of TTS as yours. I tried Ivona TTS, but there is no way to force the use of Ivona over Google TTS in every instance. It's a known issue with trying to use other TTS engines as the default engine. You end up with 3 different characters speaking/reading to you.
Thanks for checking your TTS

Thanks for the link, that cleared out some things for me, but I've noticed that app looses it's settings after the reboot, is there a way to fix my option (Default is LTE/GSM, but i want it to be GSM - Auto), theres a lot of other buttons that i hardly understand what do they do
Thanks
Anyone know how to get Android native sip working, can't find it in phone settings...
Used an activity launcher but it didn't make any calls...

Not sure if there is a native client, but I know Zoiper works for me.
necroing this here, i just purchased two of these for my kids to play pokemon go. They have FI data only sim cards and typically use my PBX to place calls. The native sip functionality seems to be missing in the settings. I'm considering using a custom rom which will likely resolve the issue, but I've heard of issues with custom roms and pokemon go so I was trying to avoid this route.
Any input regarding the native sip functionality or specific roms for this phone that work fine with pokemon go AND have working native sip would be appreciated. if your reply is about using a third party app, i'm well aware that they work and such comments are not helpful. thanks.

If you have root, you might be able to replace the stock dialer with the latest google dialer. I'm trying this today and will let you know how it goes.

awesome, looking forward to your results. I briefly checked play store for the google dialer, but didn't see it. I considered loading gapps but i couldn't remember if the google dialer was included in any of them.

It would be listed as Google phone, not dialer , for some reason. It is in the open gapps package. And there are ways to add the needed framework and just the dialer if wanted.

If i use the google full debloat and then flash opengapps, do you think this would suffice?

i am pretty certain that the open gapps install script automaticly disables or removes the old version of apps that it installs., so dont think you need to use the de-bloat beforehand.
Now Im gonna try to install the gapps too to see how it goes.

Gapps installed fine. Took awhile to start after. Needed to "optimize" 47 apps.
It has google phone. But I do not know where or how to set up "sip" of "voip" on this dialer (or any for that matter)
EDIT:
google just showed me this. Dont know if it works for sure but , here it is.

I followed the diretions in that link, but I do not have the "sip account" setting available.

Great! thanks for running through this! If you're interested in testing sip functionality, PM me and i'll make you a sip account on my PBX. It's US Nationwide calling and Canada.
I'm assuming arm is the appropriate architecture, being that it's an arm cortex a53. I looked through each edition of gapps and I didnt see anything that included google phone. Should i assume it's simply built into any version of Nano and above?

I re-read my post. It was not clear.
I do not have the menu for sip account. So something is missing from phone app.
It is version 10. XXXX
on my other phone(blu life max) running slim-rom and open gapps. The phone app is version 9.XXXX and it has the sip menu
I will try to find the gapps I installed on that phone and see if it is v9 vs v10 that is the problem of missing menu first.
If I get the sip-menu then I can follow up with trying your pbx if you want.

Still same missing sip menu using older gapps with v9.XXX dialer. Must be some stock rom interference with the settings. If camera is not a problem for you then the cm13 port might be an option. OR . The zen rom port has working camera, and has not had too many reviews. I will try to add gapps to that one and see if it has sip menu.
It's not a huge deal, I'll just run csipsimple for now. The kids use the camera for catching Pokemon...
Offer for sip service if you want to play still stands regardless, just hit me up. I appreciate your help!

the zen-ui rom has finished and it does not have sip-menu. Installed the gapps on it and still missing the menu.
The slim-rom I have on my "life max" is same rom used to port to r1. So my last attempt is to flash that rom and see.
But my port is not fully working. Audio drops out and camera stops working. But if the sip menu (voip) is there, then it is a rom problem. But if the menu is still missing, that tells me it has to be a kernel problem. All the roms have same kernel.
UPDATE:
yes the sip-menu is shown with the slim-rom port.
so this would be the 'native" option.
I have not spent time working on the rom in a while. I was hopeing for community help to finish. But that has not happened.
My current position with the rom is, I beleive the main issue remaining is the audio/ media server stops and rom needs reboot. This server stop is seen in the logcat. But i do not know why yet. And after it stops the camera server becomes unstable, then it stops.
I have seen , but not tried yet. An app in playstore that is meant for addressing the problem of camera server stopping. It is supposd to be able to restart it with out restarting whole phone.
Im planning to keep slim-rom on for few days or more and explore this app as possible work-a-round
Uninstalling the stock phone app and trying to install Google Phone from apkmirror did NOT work. Don't try it; I was only able to restore a working phone app by restoring /system. Maybe something in build.prop is disabling this? I might look around and see if this is a possibility; CSipSimple works perfectly though if people need sip support, as others have said.

I took on trying to fix my lineage and slim ports because of this sip phone question.
I now have a solution for sip phone on stock rom.
It is same solution from before that did not work, I found so reason it did not work. Blu had intentionaly removed the permission to sip and voip.
so if still interested in getting sip without third party apps. Here is a recovery install zip, that adds the google dialer framework, apk, and needed /etc/permissions
there is warning in the gapps install about adding google dialer that is also relivent here. Default phone app must be set to this goole dialer and also recomend disable stock dialer.
Wow, you rock man! Thanks for your efforts on this!!

Is there a problem if I install Indonesian ROM with NFC on Globlal model without NFC?
Will the phone get hard pricked or something?
P.S I change ROMs using miflashtool.

The phone will not die, but you will have problems with the software, such as not recognizing the camera after taking a picture, the flashlight does not work, you can not change the Hz of the screen ...
This happened with Xiaomi.eu a long time ago, since they use the base ROM for spesn (the NFC variant) and had not made the necessary modifications to work in spes (the non-NFC variant).
I did it. And nothing bad will happen. What NeoSDAP says about the camera is bullsh*t, the camera works fine.
Look out the thread I created about the process and the result:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/is-it-safe-to-flash-indonesian-rom-over-a-global-rom.4534777/
Don't install the version with Android 12, I tried it some time ago it's messed up: weird default configurations and options missed. I saw there's an update for it, that probably fixed that but still, do it under your own risk.
I'm still using the lastest Indonesian ROM with Android 11. Except for the fact that apps like Netflix can't be downloaded from the Play Store because of the lack of Play Protect certification, everything else works like a charm. For apps you can't download from the Play Store like Netflix, you can download them from sites like APKPure and they work, so it's not really a problem either.
Good luck.

miui dialer and messages apps.

plus, it alwayas feels smoother to me.

It also has the Mi Calendar app instead of Google's and the Mi Browser (besides Chrome). It also has the "App Vault" option for the left screen (-1 says the Launcher), not only Google Discover like the Global ROM. And the best thing about it for me it's that it's an official ROM. It's not a custom ROM that who knows what the hell was modified in it. I've using it for months and everything works fine.

NFC is hardware dependent. If your phone doesn't have the required hardware, NFC won't work. This is similar to FM radio.
I wouldn't suggest flashing ROM for another region on your phone, especially if your bootloader is locked. If you unlock your bootloader, it will give you a lot of flexibility and ability to troubleshoot problems.

So, you hate the apps just because they're from Xiaomi?? Why did you buy a Xiaomi phone then?? If you love Google so much, you should've bought a Pixel phone.
