No option to make Default Apps - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers

Hello Forum,
Usually when you tap a link or document for the first time on a new device, you are presented with an list giving you the option to make one of the apps on the device the default app to open the link or document from now on.
In my case I just get a generic Android system error with a "report" button.
I solved the opening a link problem by using the option in Firefox to make it the default app.
However, for documents and anything else that may come my way, will crash instead of getting the familiar menu option mentioned above.
Any ideas, please?
Possibly an option that is turned on or off in system?
This is a stock ROM direct from Xiaomi. MIUI 10.1 Stable.
Thanks in advance.

I am using Solid Explorer file manager, there's such menu like you mentioned.

How to move G-Sensor setup to Start Menu?

I want to be able to access this app to use it as a level. Want to move it to the Start Menu so I can make a Quick Link out of it. I copied AccelerometerCalibrator.exe from Windows to Start Menu and I get a link, but it does not run the program. Runs from the settings/system menu. No other new processes running with it. Anyone know how to do this? Is there another file that needs to be moved as well?
Yea, please. I'd like to see an answer to this, too...

Hi,
Try creating a shortcut as per this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645916
The G Sensor calibrator is mentioned 7 or 8 from the top in the first post.
Thanks for the tip!
I had created a link to the G-sensor but was wondering why it would not run by itself. I had not seen that thread with all of the link data. Thanks again for the tip!
I did this just by holding on the icon and selecting Move to Top.
I don't know if this is old news already, but got a sudden urge to get G-Sensor easier place to access. And made it today by copying AccelerometerCalibrator.exe from Windows to Start Menu/Programs as a shortcut. Now it can be found under start menu in UI.
Try this

Bridgeman

Good day. Can you please help me with installing this app. It is called Bridgeman. And the installers consist of 5 apks. Namely:
* BridgeMan_1.0.apk
* Celestial_1.0.apk
* Misc_1.0.apk
* Tides_1.0.apk
* Voyage_1.0.apk
I got these installers from my phone that has a successfully installed Bridgeman. I used an app called File Expert to get these apks. Wellabout the app. The app is just a one icon app but it consist of manyparts. The main app is the Bridgeman. When you open it, it consist offour menu which are: Voyage, Celestial, Tides and Misc.
When I installed only Bridgeman.apk I can see the menu, but noresponse when I press any of the four. So that's when I saw the fourapk of the menu. And I installed all of them. Now when I press a menufor example Voyage. I get sent to a new page like how it is supposed to work. But after sending me to a new page I just get kicked back out to the main menu.
Weirdly enough the Misc menu is the only one that is working. But Celestial, Voyage and Tides do not work and just gives me a blackscreen and get kicked back out to the main menu.
I also included a zip file of what I got from sdcard0/Bridgeman folder. If this would help.
My phone that has a working Bridgeman is an LG-E510 and 2.3.4 AndroidVersion. While the one I am trying to install is a Samsung Galaxy S2International and 4.1.2 Android Version.
Can anyone help me on this?Do I need to copy some files from the old one? Am I missing files?
I don't think the problem is in the File Expert because I justtransferred a calculator app by the same process. But I could be wrong on this. Anyways the calculator is just a one app apk so it's muchsimpler, unlike this that have many apks. It seems when I press for example the Voyage the page or line that must be executed when I pressthat cannot execute somehow. If this help.

Re: bridgeman
I suggest to seek technical support sending an email or calling their office since the developer's website is googleable(I have googled the word "BridgeMan Android" and found their developer's official website is ww.deckmaster.com.ph(Just add another w), I assumed that you can find a way to communicate with the developer

[Q] Default location for Gallery

I'm running ASNET MIUI and would like to change the default location the gallery goes to when i open it. At the moment it says "empty" and i have to click "local images" and then "camera" every time. Perhaps there's a file or something i can modify to change this?
I would post this in ASNET's thread but i don't have sufficient privileges, it's possible this is a generic ROM question anyway as the solution may apply to others.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, thanks!

Require assistance please. Zte Avid Plus Z828 FRP 'd

So, I got a Zte Avid Plus z828 (t mobile no sim card) that has frp so basically i cant get pass the google account verification screen. I have found a way to get into the settings and enable developer mode without no otg method or apk methods. I simply used the text to speech method where i open the source for that and then open up google and search settings allowing me to access the settings and enable developer mode via build version.
Now here's the problem I can click backup and reset but when i actually click RESET PHONE nothing happens. I can keep on clicking it and nothing will happen it's a button thats just there. I want to enable USB debugging with hopes of using adb shell and wiping the phone that way but i can't even access the developer settings. I click on the developer settings and nothing happens its the same situation with the RESET PHONE option. Why is this occurring? Anyone have any advice as to how i can get around this? I've tried downloading apks that would open the developer settings but it opens for less then a second then instantly closes. I'm new here so i'm not even sure if this is where i was supposed to even post this, sorry if it wasn't the correct place to post this. if you need me to elaborate anymore just ask, i'll gladly do it.
Hello Friend!! I also have the same problem with this phone. but I have not been able to enter the menu. as you could enter the menu of the z828? Thank you

Yeah I'll make a short guide I can try to post screenshots later but for now i'll try my best to guide you to the point where I am.
1. Go through the setup until you get to the google verifying part.
2. Open up your keyboard and hold down the comma to access the gear which will allow you to get into the google keyboard settings.
3. Once you're at the google keyboard settings go to Text Correction.
4. Then go to Personal Dictionary and select English (US) or whatever you have there.
5. Then click on the search button and just type random letters and hit search is what i did to get to this next step.
6.. You should be able to type in the letter "g" and you should see something called google voice typing
7. click that and go to Text-to-speech.
8. Then click the blue gear next to google text to speech
9. click install voice data
10. you should see 3 dots on the top right hand corner open that and click open source licenses
11. once you're at this part just simply hold a line down as if you were going to copy it.
12. you should see about 4 options on what you want to do with that line like copy or share it search it on the web.
13. what you want to do is click search, its the fourth option.
14. delete whatever is on the search and type in settings the option to access the settings should pop up on the bottom as a suggestion.
15. click that and now you're at the settings.
From here on i assume you know how to access the about phone and turn on developer settings but this is the problem you can turn it on but you cant access the developer menu you can just click it and nothing will happen. same for trying to reset the phone from the back up and reset menu.
if anybody knows what the case may be please let me know i'm constantly trying to find the solution to this whenever i have the free time but so far no solution has came up. i am able to download apks by instead of typing in settings on the google search i type in file manager and simply transfer over the apk through my pc onto the phone. that i can do without usb debugging becasue my pc picks the phone up as a portable device.
I fixed the zte avid plus z828 frp problem!
Dont mean to double post but after a week of trial and error I solved the problem. I bypassed the FRP and Hard resetted the phone. Phone's working 100% now. I can probably post a guide somewhere I guess if highly requested.
Feel free to close the thread as the problem is solved

please do!!!!

Hello yerhope!

I am a victim of this same circumstance.

Hey, I would like to highly request the tutorial....
Furthermore, I'd like to say I've poured over these sort of sites, rephrased my questions, etcetc all trying to get the same things accomplished, getting past the google password, and yet you with your quick clearly stated actually step by step explanation were the one to get me the farthest in fixing this problem. :highfive:

He said he resolved problem but put no feedback so others can benefit, I really doubt he resolved the problem of bypassing or unlocking or rooting his phone, he probably slammed it on the floor and resolved the problem that way. We don't need people like that here. I will try it when I get a zte z828 from someone that has the same problem, I will post feedback if I am successful or not, so by July 15, 2016, I should now if it is possible.

He did get in. I did get in myself but when i tap factory reset nothing happen.
(Security patched)
Maybe he did resolve it like i did.
Root and remove it with gcpro
Thats what i did.
On some ZTE phones (has worked on 1 but not another for me), you can use the emergency dialer to dial:
*983*987#
This will lead you directly into factory reset options (if it works).

Okay, I spent more time than i care to admit on getting through this frp. I have z3x and a few other utilities and i use them when i can, but i don't honestly lay hands on ZTE very often. Anyway, you do NOT need GC or any other box--
so following the last poster's steps (credit to yerhope):
9. click install voice data
10. you should see 3 dots on the top right hand corner open that and click open source licenses
11. once you're at this part just simply hold a line down as if you were going to copy it.

13. what you want to do is click search, its the fourth option.
this is where he leaves off... and where i pick up.
14. Download "quickshortcut maker" apk to your computer (or copy from apk extractor on a phone or any other method..
15. Select z828 in my computer and copy quickshortcut maker to downloads
16. On the phone, after clicking the search button, clear the browser box and type in "file manager" - it will show up just below. select it
17. Go to downloads in the file manager and select quickshortcut maker
18. install the app, blah blah blah
19. Once in the app, search "google account" you will have several pop up
20. Select the one that says "email and password" when you do, it will ask for a password to an account you aren't sure of.
21. click menu on top right - Browser sign in is the option - click it
22. Sign in to your email and account
23. Once you are signed in, press and hold power for a soft reset (restart)
24. Proceed as usual to wifi page and BOOM!
25. Profit. not much though, cuz its still a ZTE.

Yerhopes solution worked for my zte lever
Follow yerhopes solution after step 15 while in settings go to backup and reset make sure back up data is off then factory reset erase Everything phone will reboot old owners info gone no need to download anything worked for 2 Zte levers i bought from ebay.
Bought a EE Jay Tablet (also a ZTE tablet) that had FRP enabled, easiest way I could do it was
1. connect to wifi, get to the previous account required screen.
2. open the keyboard and hold the @ symbol and open the keyboard settings.
3. top right corner press the 3 dots and choose help and type in apps in the search box.
4. access the app settings screen via the link from the help section then goto all and launch settings app
5. enable unknown sources in security and return to app settings screen and launch chrome this time or any browser.
6. goto http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Apps and download this file com.sika524.android.quickshortcut.apk
7. you may get a download notification that the file has finished if not go back again to the app settings screen and all again and launch downloads app
8. you will now see the file download open it and install and then open the app
9. in the quick shortcut app search for google account and choose email and password and select try
10. now the google accounts manager has launched, in the top right corner press the 3 dots and choose browser sign-in
11. sign in with a google account and once done it will close and go back to the quick shortcut maker.
12. you still won't have access yet but all I done was reboot the device and continued the setup, this time there was no errors or required sign in and had full access.
Hope this helps someone, this was basically a copy of this video which may be helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKdVvBSIb0M
Idk wat im doing but watever I do cant make crap any worse so I went under security and theres a place says trusted agents I clicked that and it said google smart lock so I turned it off im hoping this works guys ill let u know

I used this method, personally, for zte Avid I believe. Yerhope's solution works for some firmwares prior to firmware i was on. i'm sorry, i do not recall that at this moment as it was some time ago. if Yerhope's solution is not effective for you, then progresss to my steps that pick up right where previous solution left off. so once again, YES, this worked on my device, did not test for others. my understanding is kingo can acquire root access in a special way as well that will allow you to adb clear frp. looking for commands? i do not have them sorry.

Droid DNA File Manager? If No How to Install One?

Hi
Recently inherited a Droid DNA that would like to use only for Audio & Video (No phone, Internet...)
Looked for a file manager app. Did not find any. Downloaded the man http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/htc-dna/HTC-DNA-UM.pdf and did quick search also nothing.
Is there a hidden file manager? If not appreciate suggestions how to install one.
Have access to a Windows 7 PC but wonder if 1st need to install a HTC Droid DNA driver?
Thanks
Ken
Update
Searched and found Verizon User Guide for phone http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/htc-dna/HTC-DNA-UM.pdf
Read entire guide, no mention of a File Manager.
Decided to check App Manager (which should have done 1st) and under All found listed Android File Manager v5.5.24..... (408 KB) and enabled.
Am wondering why it did not show on Home Screen, so rechecked User Guide.
Found p87 "Adding apps and other shortcuts on your Home screen" and followed instructions "1. Go to Settings, and then tap Personalize. 2. Tap Customize home screen. 3. Tap > Apps or Shortcuts. You can: ยง Swipe to browse through the apps or shortcuts"
Somehow All Apps never opened (only Apps already on Home screen).
Then tried "Tap to search for specific apps or shortcuts" when did this No Keyboard opened...
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Will add, since the phone had many apps disabled when I got it, am wondering if some necessary files are disabled?
Thanks
Ken
