hope this helps

thanks for your help but it didn't work any other ideas

Maybe permissions were not set right when you uploaded the new version.
Anyways , reflash your ROM AFTER a full wipe.
That should do the job.

Try to download and install this: Click

Try to flash gapps again...
If it's not working then enter into cwm
Goto advanced-> fix permission -> yes...
Xperian8~ click thanks if it helps...

You can also try to download newer version of Google Play. It helped for me.

Zte Axon Mini root or custom roms

Full Tutorial and clean Rom by @demenicis http://www.needrom.com/download/zte-axon-mini-model-b2016-only/
You can search on this thread to find the files for Android 6.0.1
You need to root and install TWRP for flashin Android Marshmallow
I recently bought a ZTE Axon Mini here in Europe. It is a pretty good phone, the only problem is the software part which has some lag and UI problems.
They certainly can be fixed with a custom rom or rooting and doing changes or by ZTE themselves.
Here I will write the problems
1) The touch responsiveness could be more fast and snappy, when scrolling etc.
2) random lag occurs from time to time, Some other lag issues with the background apps closing etc.
3) Notifications sometimes do not show at all even when keeping aps on whitelist (deactivate mi assistant to solve this)
4) Dolby Audio gets deactivated almost every time you use headhones .
5) Marshmallow release anytime soon?
6) the UI is too heavy for the phone, most stock apps have issues
7) You cannot adjust brightness inside camera app on auto mode, the HDR mode is really not good ( too blurry)

Most of these issues have been fixed on 6.0.1 Rom (search thread)

Hi,
I can't confirm 1), actually my device runs smooth. I have the Build Version ZTE B2016 FTV1.0.0B01.0
2) random lags occurs, but rare.
3) it seems that this is an issue by the power saving management, I also have some issues with it. I'm actually testing autostart and whitelisting for background the important apps like messengers.
4) I didn't tested this yet
5) I read something arround February this year.
If you google for root, you can find some work instructions, but OTA will be deactivated. I have not tested it yet, will give the phone a few months and ZTE for the update

Issues
I have a lot of problems with this phone. Sometimes apps doesn't work. Most of the times I can't recive notifications, sometimes is laggy, some options doesn't work or change to it's inicial configuration, force touch is not accurate.... A lot! Please ZTE do something!. BTW, how can I solve the notification problem?!
Thank you so much

The notification part is the worst until now.
What I would add is that the camera app is unstable. It gets randomly on night mode and could be improved, on the focus and autoexposure part .
Overall the phone is great, it needs to be improved on the software part and I believe it could succeed and give ZTE a even better reputation
Now on the updates, does anyone know when marshmallow will be released for the Axon mini?

Ok guys, I have solved the notification issue, it seems ZTE had optimized the system for app cleaning, it even cleaned out some resources whatsapp and other apps such as this need to send notifications. Here is the solution for the ZTE AXON (all series)
1. Go inside settings /Power manager /manage background . Here deselect all the apps that you want to send notifications.
2. settings/power manager/auto start manager . Here select all the apps that you want to send notifications.
3. go inside Mi-assistant /Acceleration/ Whitelist . Here select all the apps that you want to send notifications. Otherwise, disable Mi-Assistant from the settings/apps.
It seems the tap to accelerate would remove all resources from these apps, With these changes, every notification will come as usual. CHEERS!!

How come Axon on 5.1.1 doesn't have Power manager or Mi-assisant?

I am also on 5.1.1.

Notification works better with enabling autostart and enabling background settings. I have disabled the Accelerator / Mi-Assistant, Android has its own power management.

Which version of Axon do you have ?

It seems the ZTE Axon A1R doesn't have mi-assitant or even power manger/ background manager, and it's on 5.1.1
Guess no way to get that without unlocking the bootloader?

Tried this on mine and this made no difference in fact in an attempt to combat the delayed notifications I had done the above and unfortunately in my case made no difference? If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.

Inside mi assistant remove the auto run on startup and then press exit the mi assistant.
This last few days every notification has shown on time, I did a fresh factory reset and the applied all the settings. Don't know if that would help everyone but I am satisfied until now

I didn't do a factory reset and stopped the Mi-Assistant. Notifications work well after that. But don't forget to do Step 1 and 2, that is still neccessary beside of stopping the Assistant.

I was wondering what is the difference between zte b2015 and b2016 models. I have the b2016 but it seems nothing changes with b2015.
My geekbench 3 scores single core 712 multicore 3107
Antutu 38051 .

Moto X (Victara) - Issues with Dialer

Hello!
I'm having a serious problem with Dialer on my Moto X. I've tried several ROMs and they all have the same issue: the phone crashes and reboots when I make or receive a call.
Any ideas on how this can be fixed? I'm currently running the latest Nightly version of CyanPop for the time being, but have tried others and nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance!

Screen overlay detected

After updating my Huawei Mate S to Android Marshmallow EMUI 4.0.1 (CRR-L09C432B361) I am having screen overlay issue. Sorry, I can't give screenshot. Gallery, facebook upload, Gmail etc. are not working properly. I am getting a message like this- "Screen overlay detected- To change this permission setting you first have to turn off the screen overlay from Settings > Apps". When I click on Settings tab, it takes me to a settings section named "Draw over other apps". When I click on the relevant app, I find some of their permissions denied, which I can't turn on. I did some googling and found some other related posts mostly indicating to disable some kind of screen filtering apps or clean master which I don't have. Tried resetting, then wiping cache data, didn't fix. Tried disabling developer options, didn't work. Can anyone help to solve this issue.

As you probably know by now & as I understand it, this is a security measure, which will trigger Marshmallow to pop-up 'Screen overlay detected...' warnings each time you try to change an app's permissions (i.e. for the apps that are affected by this 'drawing over other apps' feature).
There are 2 ways to get around this so you are allowed to freely change apps' permissions (do one or the other - whichever is more convenient for you):
1. Go to Settings > Apps > access 'Advanced' (near the bottom) > under 'Advanced' subsection, access 'Draw over other apps'. Here, individually change the settings of ALL the apps to 'No' (in other words, disable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app). Once done, you can freely change apps' permissions in Settings > Apps > [name of app] > 'Permissions' without the annoying 'Screen overlay detected...' warning popping-up every time. Once you have correctly changed the permissions (for every app that's not working properly), you should return to individually change each of the apps' settings to 'Yes' in the 'Draw over other apps' section (in other words, re-enable 'Permit drawing over other apps' for every app).
or (easier for me)
2. Reboot your phone into Safe Mode (click here if you need to know how). Once in Safe Mode, you can freely change apps' permissions in Settings > Apps > [name of app] > Permissions without the annoying 'Screen overlay detected...' warning popping-up every time. Once you have correctly changed the permissions (for every app that's not working properly), restart the phone as normal.
For both of the above & If you prefer, all changeable apps' permissions can also be easily done via Settings > Apps > access 'Advanced' (near the bottom) > access 'App permissions'.
If some apps are still not working as they should, check to see that the affected apps have 'Yes' below their name in the Apps > Advanced > 'Draw over other apps' section, AND they have ALL their permissions enabled under the Settings > Apps > [name of app] > 'Permissions' section.

Don't you need the phone to be rooted to do that?
I suspect most users would have an unrooted phone.

Will this also work on Nougat? Running resurrection remix 5.8 on Mi max Hydrogen. Running LMT Pie launcher prevents me from granting any permissions or sideloading any APKs. Is this specifically for the Mate S?
If it's safe to flash on nougat on the Mi Max, I could try it on Mi Max.

How to prevent System Update from 6.0.1 to 7.1.1?

Need help!
I just factory reset my Nexus 6, root it and found in About phone - System update - "System update downloaded and... (restart now)".
I am definitely not want to update from 6.0.1 to 7.1.1, so I am going to Google play service and clean all data. And found that System update start downloading immediately again with only options "Pause downloading", so I pause it for now. I am also found this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/how-to-stop-update-downloaded-t3157232 , but it about 5.1.1 and the answer is wrong, because there is no "Automatic System Updates toggle" in 6.0.1 Nexus 6 (this option came in 7.0). I am also installed Disable services app, and disable SystemUpdateService in Google Play Services and Google Services Framework, but it not work.
I am also try another method - Rename /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip to otacerts_bak.zip , but its also didnt work for me
So, how to prevent it, cos I am afraid to reboot my phone?

It's been forever long since MM. I think things were different then, but some ideas;
Long press the notification and a settings gear/cog should be available. From Settings select "Turn off notifications update"
Go to settings -> apps -> Google Play services (not store - you may need to "show system apps") then uncheck the notification box.
Settings -> about device -> software update -> check for updates
There might be an toggle in developer options (tap on build number 7 times to enable developer options)

I try most of those ideas in start topic. Notification not a problem, I am already blocked it - problem with downloading.
And, as I said, Developer options didnt have it in 6.0, only from 7.0

Hmm, maybe I found solution for my question:
Not enough to kill SystemUpdateService, but when I killed SystemUpdateService Activity receiver, System Update options just disappear from menu "About".
Can somebody confirm it?
