I wonder if there will be a xxx-gapps-rom.zip for the 8.9" version soon?
Cool, as soon as I figure out how to get supersu on the hdx ill give this a try! Thanks for working on it!

That would depend on there being a SafeStrap for the 8.9" version soon
This works great on my tablet BTW. Thanks!
Hmmm looks like I might be the first one to try this out. I'm downloading now and I'll report back when it's finished.
Update: Installed the ROM and immediately hit the Play Store. Tried to add an existing Google account but it caused a reboot. Right now I'm stuck on the calculator since I have no nav buttons
Update 2: Tried to enable Wifi, got another reboot.
I'm going back to my stock ROM slot for now, being unable to use the Nav buttons makes this a bit difficult.
Installed and working perfectly. So far everything but gmail works, and works really well. thanks Cpasjuste.

The problem can only comes from the data partition. Did you try to first restore your stock data partition then flash the zip ?

No I did it the other way around, and the data restore failed.I I'll give it a try and report back. Thanks. Good work by the way.

Just tried it. ( Restoring data, flashing the zip).
I can see my apps from my stock ROM so I know the data restore was successful. I'm still missing the nav bar and Play Store still results in a reboot.
EDIT: Just tried it a second time and it seems to be working.
So unlike your flashable zip for the stock firmware this ROM gets rid of the Amazon Video App correct. Amazon video has Prime Instant Video Offline Downloading and that is a killer feature for me. Anyway to sideload that stock APK and have it work?
Here's a video of the end result

Hey thanks for your hard work. Glad development is picking up for the hdx7.

It does say it removes ALL Amazon background services, so, Sideloading probably will not work, at least not enough for the app to recognize this as a Kindle.
i can't long press anything with this rom... it just flips the screen around. can't get to the apps settings either. also, games like shadowrun always are upside down.

I use Nova launcher and long press works fine. Hungry Shark Evo always starts upside down for me but I guess unlock rotation lock, get it right then relock and it's fine. It's a pain but works. Only that game does that to me so far. Not sure why...
Soooo.... I installed and this was working OK, but random reboots. So I went ahead and wiped dalvik. Now I've got a bootloop. Is there a way to access safestrap?
***edit-fixed*** adb reboot got me into safestrap

The screen flip only happens in landscape mode, not portrait.
Temporary work around is turn on the "lock orientation" in the notification area (left most button), then it won't flip.
A slightly better work around is smart-rotator app.

Turn on fix orientation for the apps you want to "fix".
Has anyone have any problems with the Voice Search option after the last update? Every time I try to use it it FC. I have cleared my dalivk and cache and everything and still FC. I'm on stock 5.1.1 rooted with ElementalX kernel and Xposed.

Did you clear data in app management.. It survives uninstall.
This issue has popped up recently. Try finding a pre-4.8 version of the google search app from an old gapps, then turning off updates in the play store. Not sure if it is all ROMs, but there is something going on when it tries to activate voice output. Definitely does it on Benzo. I tired using the latest Google TTS and it still does it.
Im not sure. But read on Aosip forum its related Viper.

Thanks for the input. I did a full wipe and factory reset and reinstalled the stock Rom. Works perfectly
Hey guys,
I've a brand new Note Pro.
I've flashed this rom: xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V6.6.5.0.LXHCNCF_v6-5.0
The problem is it comes with the play store. When i open it i get the error: Google play services has stopped.
When i try to flash Gapps it also gives an error, saying it has a different version already installed.
Anyone that can help?
Thank you

Clean cache if that don't work uninstall all Google apps and reflash gapps
Thank you for all the answers.
The only way i can make it work is by installing miui 7 and then gapps.
Is there any way i can install a multi language custom rom with gapps?

Sorry but no, always the same error. Tried everything. Wiped everything unninstalled all the google apps and tried to install them again.
Another issue is also the mi key. Also can't install the MI click app.
It's too many issues for such an expensive phone. Really dissapointed.

xiaomi.eu ROMs are already shipped with Google apps, why are you trying to flash them?

Because they crash
There must be something wrong, then.
Have you verified if your device is not a fake one?

It's an original one. Works good with versions 5.7.31 and 5.8.13(beta), but with version 5.8.6 google apps crash.
If I install 5.7.31, configure google apps and then flash 5.8.13 without wipe, it will work but once in a while i get the google play services crash.
I'm guessing something is wrong with the version 5.8.6 and the mi note pro.
Idk what to tell you lol

I'm on official 5.8.13 and everything works perfect. Even the antutu benchmark is way better. Went from 47k on 5.8.6 to 52k on 5.8.13cn.
So I guess I'm gonna wait around for the multi language 5.8.13 from xiaomi.eu.
Q. Can't download anything? Stuck??

What is GG WP? What that means?

Uninstalling trucallrr seems to work. But I think it should work with any uninstall. Can someone try and report? I mean just uninstall any application and try google play store download.
For the record, reinstalling trucallrr doesn't bring back the problem! Go figure
If u can't download on play store ....try enabling battery saver for a min and then disable it...it should work
Wait, are you telling me that on oxygen os 4 truecaller is installed? Another reason to stay with the beta 10 I guess...

All it was said was, if you have it installed and are having downloading error from play store .. try uninstalling trucallrr.

Just fix your permissions on your sdcard, look into my post history, i wrote this several times over the board. The reason why play store cannot download is because the permissions on the sdcard are not set properly. This can happen, when you copy your precious files from your pc on the phone via twrp, as then root will be the group and owner in contrast to the media group.

Hello,
I have a European version.
I have a question about DarkMode after the official update. Previously, Realme devices also have an option to apply Dark Mode to selected Third Patry apps, now in realme UI 1.0 this option has disappeared. Although on the official website I see that UI 1.0 should have this option
Is this a matter of the Europe / India version?
did you get ota or you manually download it?
manually downloaded from Realme India, like any previous update.

Well,I initially started off on the early access beta and did do a factory reset of that when I first got an OTA to RealmeUI,
I got an OTA for the latest update but also manually did it a few days back.
The dark mode for third party apps has been there throughout though,
Why you not seeing it ?? ?
I restored the factory settings (for the system), then I updated the downloaded package again and I still do not have this function
I would like to upload a screenshot but I think I have this function blocked as new in the forum (min 10 posts)
