Hello friends.
I've just bought an HDC Note 3 SM-N900 chinese phone, with Android 4.3, MTK6589 processor, 720p screen, 1GB ram, etc. (from dhgate)
I'm very happy with the phone except for that it doesn't have Google Play Services installed on it, so i can't use Google Apps correctly, or i can't even install some of them.
I've red that this problem is common in custom roms, and it can be fixed easily through flashing the gapps of your android version to the phone with cwm recovery, but this doesn't work at all with mine, because system becomes unstable after installing them, and google apps (even google play) don't work after flashing, and also, when i have them installed and i try to open google+, for example, a notification pops up telling me this "Google Play Services isn't compatible with your device. Contact with the manufacturer for more details"
Can anybody please help me? Thank you in advance. Regards.
Hello Jose,
It seems that I've bought the same phone and I have the same problem. Google Play app works but Hangouts, YouTube, Google Keep don't work on the device. Could you please give link to your phone with it description? It we have absolutely the same phones we can combine our efforts.
Regards,
Artem

Anyway, the chinese seller says that he will provide me a new software version for this phone soon, with google apps and some other bugs fixed. When i have it, i will tell you.
Best regards,
Pepe.

Thank you, Pepe. I've found your phone on DHgate and I have the same one. If I find something useful I will inform you too.

Hello Pepe,
By the way, what version of GApps have you flashed on your phone? Android 4.2 or Android 4.3?
It seems that our phone really has Android 4.2. Maybe flashing GApps for Android 4.2 could fix the problem?
P.S. Pepe, how did you install modified recovery? I've just get root.

Artem

Hello Pepe.
I found the solution!
You must have root-access and ClorkWorkMod (CWM) recovery.
1. Download GApps "gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip" from wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps and put it into your SD-card.
2. Enter CWM recovery and make Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache and Wipe dalvik cache
3. Don't exit recovery and enter "install zip from sdcard" and install GApps from SD-card
After that reboot your phone.
If any questions please don't hesistate to contact me.
Best regards,
Artem

GApps Freezing
These GApps don't work for me. Have tried 20121212 (4.2.2) and 20130812 (4.3)
Both flash OK in CWM Recovery, but at the Welcome screen, it hangs at "Connecting to Wifi". Then I get "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." I'm stuck in a loop here. I'm a bit stumped.
Device: SM-N900 2Gb RAM 32Gb ROM Single Sim
Build Num: JSS15J.N900UBUBMJ2
Any ideas would be appreciated . I would like to try a custom ROM if there is one available for this model. Needrom has one for the Note 3 Sunny. Could I give that a try?
EDIT: I did a Factory Reset in CWM then flashed Gapps 20130812 (4.2.2 this time) again and it worked fine without the above loop. But the original problem of Google Play Services being "unsupported" on my device remains. Guess I will just have to do without hangouts etc for a while. :-/
Need ROM of this Phone Please
Hello am new here,been following this tread and purchased the same phone,while trying to flash the gapps my phone is having issues could someone please upload a backup.
Thank You In Advance

Dap, am gasit. Pentru root folosesc framaroot 1.8.1 si intru in recovery cu mobile uncle tools. Pana la urma tot nu m dau seama daca are 2,5 gb ram sau 1gbram. Am o problema la gps, adica nu merge deloc, nu prinde niciun satelit si wireless ul este praf, are sensibilitatea foarte proasta. Am bagat pana acum firmware ul V1 , V2 , V5 dar degeaba.

Hmm, have you done all wipes before and after booting GApps? I dont know, earlier I tried to flash GApps without all listed wipes and whis lead to errors. But when I did all wipes as it described above, then everything turned out!
Who knows, maybe if you will try to flash you phone again and again then eventually it will works. But I agree, thit phone is not good at all.

i already respond you and send you a private message on needrom, but i dont know if you dont want to process the information that i told you or you are NOT able to process...
there is no CWM application to be installed, forget about this stupid question that you ask everywhere... of course you will not find anything BECAUSE there is not...
you have to create your own CWM for your device, you can do this with MTKDroid Tools...

thanks
Tried several CM 12.1 based Roms and having troubles with calling. As soon as I dial a number, it shows call ended and I can't even place a call.
Please anyone help !!
AOSP 5.1.1 Rom
You could try this rom, if it works perfectly do let us know. I dont see a reason why it shouldn't. The box of the phone says redmi 2.

Hey Guys Some one Explain it on MiUI forums.....
As many of you are aware, Xiaomi released the Redmi 2 Enhanced Edition (or Pro Edition as it is known elsewhere) with 2GB RAM and 16GB Storage back in February. However the only model released was the HM2014813 China Mobile version. Funnily enough this phone fully supports global GSM/HSPA frequencies and even has better LTE band support as it works on both 1800 & 2600MHz across Europe and Asia. Not only that but many resellers are now selling this device to international customers.
Whilst Xiaomi has released other Redmi 2 versions across India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia etc they are all based on the standard 8GB model with 1GB RAM. These are built off the China Unicom HM2014811 model and as a result the MIUI 6 Global ROM works across all of these versions. However previously when attempting to flash the Global ROM onto the 2014813 model, the installation would fail.
Initially most users and moderators believed this to be due to the difference in RAM across the models, with one having 1GB RAM and the other having 2GB RAM.
Some users though speculated that this actually wasnt the reason as the Xiaomi MI3 and Xiaomi MI4 share a ROM under the Cancro model name. This is despite a difference in RAM (2GB & 3GB respectively) and even a different processor (Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 801).
It was therefore believed that it had something to do with the different radio frequencies and LTE band support. I decided to take a closer look and recently I managed to get a hold of the Redmi 2 (2014813) Enhanced Edition. I started by downloading the latest fastboot ROMs available. Firstly I downloaded the fastboot ROM for the 2014813 model from Chinese MIUI webiste. This was version 6.5.2.0. I then dowloaded the latest Global fastboot ROM which was version 6.4.4.0 (as the 6.5.2.0 ROM hadnt been uploaded yet).
I extracted the TAR images fully and opened the flash scripts. In those I found the file corresponding to the cellular modem known as the NON-HLOS.bin. I thought that if I swapped the modem file from the Global ROM with the one in the 2014813 software, I would be able to successfully install the ROM via fastboot.
I tried it and it worked! I managed to get the ROM to fully install via fastboot on my Mac. I unplugged the device and set it up. Everything went through fine, even setting up my Google account. However the most important part to test was still left. The phone functionality. Did my modem swapping solution work?
I plugged in a T-Mobile SIM Card and straight away got HSPA+ signal! I tested with a telephone call and got crystal clear reception on both ends. I then turned off WiFi and tried the mobile data which worked fine. I have now tested every single part of the phone including Camera, Gyroscope, LED, Bluetooth, GPS, Compass and Loudspeaker. They are all working. The phone even shows 2GB RAM in the multitasking menu.
The only function not working is the OTA update. As the update zip will try to replace the modem, it will fail during installation. However this is very easy for Xiaomi to fix. All they need to do is provide a Global ROM for the 2014813 model with the correct modem which as seen is just a single file. They should easily be able to add a download link in each future update for the 2014813 model, both as fastboot/recovery packages and as an OTA zip. Hopefully they add this soon, especailly as more and more users are buying the Redmi 2 Enhanced Edition. Other than that everything else works.
i have flashed redmi2 prime using remix rom i am getting red screen on my phone please help me further
I just wanted to know that what are the hardware requirements to upgrade to a new android version , lets say lollipop..
My phone has 4gb interñal memory and 780mb ram , is that enough to run lollipop (im running on kitkat now) , If yes than how much memory will be left after upgrading to lollipop?
It's not hardware matters, as long as latest ROM available for your device, then go for it. If you're mentioning stock rom, it depends on your manufacturer that releasing firmware upgrade or not.
May I ask what are you trying to achieve?

I don't think that's how it works, System partition different each device, it's not fixed. Idk, but usually it takes 20-30% of internal storage for system partition.
Moreover, unless you already altered your system partition, you shouldn't worry about that.. Lets rom handle system partition automatically. Another option you can use external sdcard for extra storage, I admit 4gb is to small for int storage.
Hi everyone my problem is a Slow cramped SONY M4 Android 6.0.1 (E2303) 8mb What to do? update Rom? from what I'm reading different things from its possible to use the latest version of Android to its highly risky compared to other phones like my old Galaxy 5 mini, that thanks to you guys I was able to update and continue using until its hardware gave up. If I could just get rid of the bloatware but I can't delete or transfer it to sd, yes this phone promised so much and delivered little!

go to settings and then to the memory page. if it shows 1GB or less your motherboard is broken and needs proper micro-soldering repair but if it shows 2GB then you should reflash the os

I'm glad your M4 aqua's board is still fine but mine is broken and I haven't had time to replace it yet but first of all, I already said that try to reinstall the whole stock OS on your phone with Xperia companion and if it's still slow after that then you should try a custom ROM and it's your choice what version of android to use on it but the stock Rom has 2 versions android 5 and android 6 but I guess Xperia companion can only reinstall android 6, OH and the Xperia m4 officially supports up to 6 that you already know
