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

How did you manage to root it? I am having serious problems as no toolkit can do the job :/
I have 2 phones, one with 12.0.C.2.42 and other with 12.0.C.2.58, Android 4.1.2
Thanks

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.
This is a thread that has only 10% of its content related to the Xperia SP.
I'm a new user of HTC One, Android Version 4.4.2, 5.5 HTC Sense.
I bought Deus Ex The Fall from Google yesterday but every time I install it, run it, and click on ANYTHING on the menu, it says "Unfortunately, Deus Ex The Fall has stopped" and then quits.
I don't understand, I re-downloaded and reinstalled, I even reset the phone to factory, still does NOT work. I did not root my phone. I paid around $7.50AUD for the game. I just cannot get it to work.
I know some forum users here got their game to work but I'm unable to see how. Can someone please assist me?

Did you contact the developer about it? This is not an app support site. Wait....This is not a support site of any kind. Email the Dev about it.
Also dont post more then one thread about an issue.

Yes but what your missing is that they are running a custom rom. Also without a logcat there is not much anyone can tell you. You could get 100 people saying it works fine for them and another 100 that says it doesnt work. But without any real info from a log cat there is nothing anyone can say or do to help

How can I become them? How can I run a custom rom? What should I do? I paid for this game and I really want to play it.
What is logcat? If I provide logcat will you be able to help me?
Did someone noticed this
I updated few apps one day and next day I got message from play store to update them again, and the version of apps are exactly the same on my phone and in play store.
Is this another bug?
This happens quite often.

No, not a bug at all. This is normal behavior with some apps. When an application developer updates the app, they might make small changes after the initial release. These small changes might not warrant a version number change. It happens with Twitter all the time. Nothing to worry about.
Ok thanks for explanation. I thought something is going wrong with my lollipop.

Hello, since last update with miui 12 I can't update Chrome anymore and that Andrioid System WebView. Any ideas how I can solve it or need to wait for another miui update? I tried to clear data, uninstall(though it doesn't uninstall completely).
Keyboard sometimes stops working properly. To deal with keyboard I have to close it using 'back' button then start editing my post again. It's quite annoying and my friend having the MI9 as well seems to running into that issue. Any ideas how to deal with that? Is Gboard faulty under Miui 12? I had one app in miui 11 that to login into I had to switch to 3G rather than use LTE(took me a while to figure out). It's an app from my network provider so I can check there how much money is left, or the GBs for Internet as turn on some services.
That app is working now fine but it got new update recently with new interface and stuff(and I don't want to update it, because it's not working properly and the interface is much worse). Is there anyway to make it disappear from updates page so I accidentally will not update it? Already had to download it from APK mirror once...
Thanks in advance for any replies.
After upgraded to 12.0.2. I found my Google service didn't work as normal. I decided to reinstall one by one apk again ( Google play service, framework, account, contact, calendar, play store). After that Google service seem to be fine but only one day. Got error for Google play service missing and play store can't sign in. So, I turn off miui optimization and reinstall Google service again after that Google seem to be fine. But the main problem for me is after 12.0.2 push notifications doesn't work anymore ex line app ( call, message ). If leave mobile for 2-3 minutes , I won't get notifications anymore until enter to the app again. ( Already set battery optimization-off, run in back ground, notifications- important). Any suggestions are welcome.
The only suggestion i have is to downgrade to android 10 again (12.0.2.0 was an upgrade to android 11).

I just got the notification for the 12.5 update are your gapps still working? Mine worked for a while after deleting and reinstalled google play services. Downloading and installing again could fix your line issues.

I was thinking of reinstalling the line app itself. I wanted to test it here but none of my friends use it.
