Hi folks,
I just bought the Arnova childpad for my kid, it seemed a better toy for my kid then the LighInTheBox 7" pad that I bought. (It isn't that powerfull even after hacking the system)
The childpad is very responsive. Although the screen is not easy to control, scrolling through a list for example, always makes you select the first item when you touch the screen.
I have some issues with the Childpad, could anybody advice:
- In ICS, how can I move apps to the SD card, any software to move doesn't allow that. Nor in the app settings, there's no button Move To SD. Is there a way in ICS
- The Childpad can't access the PLAY store, nor does it let you setup a google account. Could it be fixed?
- How can I move nice game apps from my other tablet to this tablet by SD card. What software is suitable for it?

I'm in the same boat as you, I bought one for our little guy... Netflix doesn't work properly and no market. I'm trying to root/market it as we speak...
You can sideload the apk for amazon market to get most apps on it, but you can't do much about the issues with the rom without root...
---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------
Got it rooted using unlockroot 2.3 (Actually I had superuser installed and it never would prompt for root access, I ran unlockroot and suddenly could get root.) Now if I could get netflix going this thing would be ready for action.
I think that's the way they have set it up. Although it must be possible to put a new Android rom on it, I'm sure.
The child market is intresting, but because the screen is so sensitive, it's hard to select from it. Plus it's intresting to get other Play-apps.
Did you find a way to load apps from the SD? I managed with the backup app from my phone to get some apps loaded, but not all.
Seems there aren't many users for this tablet.
Any idea how I could install a new clean Android on it?

No, but I'm wondering the same thing as well. IF CM9 could be easily ported (shouldn't be hard considering it is already running ics) or worst case scenario even CM7 would suffice. I wouldn't mind the rom so much if I could just get netflix, because my son isn't quite as OS critical as I am.
I'm very intrested as well. There's not much A in this Q section here :-D
Maybe we should ask elsewhere?
There must be an easy way to reinstall the system, I'm sure .

I have the same problem. If you have a good idea, I want well to know it
From what I read about the childpad on the Arctablet.com "The ChildPad shares its design with the Arnova 7d G3, the only difference are the colors. While Arnova 7d G3 is just black, the ChildPad is painted in nice-looking white and blue colors" So presumably any thing that comes out for it should, in theory, work on the childpad. I haven't seen much in the way of rom development for it either, but there are some promises of roms coming. I thing we are in one of those spots where it is a waiting game to see if anyone picks up development on either of these devices.
I bought the tablet for my grand daughter. I have installed only a few apps and the tablet is already running out of space. So I am very much interested in learning how to load apps onto the SD card. I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590807 and was wondering if this could also be apply to a rooted Childpad?
Those with Childpads - could you please help me by letting me know how much storage the device shows - ie either the Internal settings -> storage or when you plug in to a PC and view properties.
My two both show 2gb of total storage - is this correct?
The devices are labelled as 4gb and find it hard to believe that 2gb of the advertised storage is inaccessible to users.
Many thanks

The device is 4 gigs of storage. The 2gb is free. Yes 2gigs is all the preloaded CRAP on the device. There are a bunch of videos as well as audio and preloaded apps.

So I got one of these for my 3 year old this last weekend, here's my observations:
- I could not root, everytime I put the device in USB debugging mode it would not detect on my PC.
- Sideloaded google play store. Installed fine, every time I launch it minimizes itself and doesn't load.
- Sideloaded Angry Birds Space and it worked great
- Apps with adult adds....really? Does my son need a dating site add? Planning on installing ad blocker once i can get root.
- Screen is weird. Not as capable as a standard tablet. I have to use my finger nail and/or press really hard.
If anyone finds a more reliable form of rooting the Child Pad please send me the link.
-Magic
Thanks -
The supplied apps and videos etc are (on mine) all in the accessible "Internal storage", ie what you see when you connect to a PC.
When I do a properties I get xMB free of 2.05GB. Therefore if I delete ALL of this supplied content, the maximum storage I am going to get is 2.05GB which is far from the advertised 4GB.
Is this what other people see - 2GB available?
Silly question, maybe I missed it in this thread, but how did you install the google apps on those childpads. I bought 2 of them for my kids and I started installing their gmail account on it. Now it's via the exchange function, but I rather like to use the official gmail app. Also gtalk would be handy as they now use gtalk on the PC to talk to me when I'm working in the office.

Simply download the .apk from the web. However, these apps do not function as they are locked out in this version of ICS. Currently there is a custom ROM in the works with root and play store enabled.
this is probably what you are looking for

thats the best firmware currently it runs really fast and without problems except for one gamebreaking bug sadly.
the screen is mirrored after flash meaning its unusable but they are working on it and it should be fixed soon
(if anyone has a tip on how to get into the screen calibration thing in 4.1 android , or force it to do the calibration at next startup please help)
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-x86/uNo7a39-s3I
The mirrored screen problem also happened with other devices and this is kernel based.
The link above is a dirty trick to fix the issue. But it requires a recompile of the kernel.
Exelletor on the Arctablet forum told me that recompilong this rk29xx based kernel waa not that easy.
I had a look to the info provided and i could more or less pinpoint the things that needed to be changed, but currently I did not find the time to perform the compile.
Hope this can already help?
I have a Galaxy S II, running CM10 Nightly 19Sep Stock kernel, only thing changed is the ROM which I've been flashing for over a year without issue.
Noticed on Monday 22Oct that the phone was starting to lag at certain things and behave screwy, so downloaded latest nightly and did a complete backup. Did not flash.
Had a look in the gallery yesterday, and to my horror the earliest photo in there is from 21Oct, over 600 photos gone. Gallery used to show thumbs from all of the ebooks I have in there, those are gone as well and the photos from the individual ebook folders for covers are gone one by one.
Swiftkey deselected itself as an input option with no input from me. Swype is just gone.
External SD which I barely use will show as unmounted when connected via USB.
Going to go through forum tutorials to try and get those pictures back, but should I be worried about something else? Hardware? What could possibly be causing this?
Well at the very least this product deserves a thumbs up. It works.

Going to get most of the media back.
It's suggest a restocking.
You can take your sd out and check if not corrupted our something.
Hope you can still get your files.
You will get more support form the forum if you post in the one specific for your device

Hi,
This is my first time specifically posting a question as a Q&A style thread so I hope I'm doing this right.
I have been using the Redmi Note 2 for about a month now. Overall, it's been a great phone (especially considering the price). However, I've been experiencing a couple of issues and I am hoping that some of you may be able to help.
I have rooted the phone but have not installed a ROM/kernel.
I have been using Wakelock Detector to track my battery life. Of most significance is com.baidu.map.location (NetworkLocation). I have attached the two screenshots showing the frequency of how often it wakes up my device. I tried to greenify it but it wouldn't allow me - it says "Sorry, "NetworkLocation" is ingreenifiable". Does anyone have any idea for me?
I have also been trying to use Amplify as another means to try and improve battery life. As mentioned, my phone is rooted, and the app prompted me to install the Xposed app which I did. However, after installing the app, it wants me to install the framework but it does not allow me to. I have attached the screenshot of this too.
Nova Launcher - Sometimes when I open the app drawer, the resolution of the app launcher appears funny. To fix it, I normally just press back and go back into the app drawer and it goes back to normal. I have attached a screenshot of what this roughly looks like. This is not a big deal but can be a little annoying. Has anyone experienced this?
SD Maid - I used to use this app on my old Galaxy S3 i9305 to clear out storage space taken up by unnecessary stuff. This app no longer works on this phone. I have attached a screenshot of the issue that I am having.
I have downloaded Auto Call Recorder from the app store with the intention of having it automatically record my phone conversations. It does not work but I am unable to figure out why. I have checked the settings and I cannot identify any obvious setting that is incorrectly configured.
Flynx - I have been trying to use Flynx as it appears to be an incredibly useful app, but it seems something is not working correctly. In the screenshot that I have attached, where it says "Tap on the bubble to open it!" I am assuming there is a bubble that is supposed to appear for me to tap, but it does not appear.
APUS Launcher/Clean Master - finally and maybe most worryingly, I sometimes get 2 or 3 apps "pushed" to my device prompting me to install it. I can only remember 2 at the moment; APUS Launcher and Clean Master. Fortunately, I am asked to give the app permission for installation but it worries me because it has occurred a few times and I did not download it at all. I do not have a screenshot of this at the moment, but I will do it next time it occurs.
I have been told that my provider (Vaya in Australia) sends out a SMS for "automatic update" purposes. I only spotted this because I have noticed that I was charged for 2 separate international SMS on 2 occasions when I did not send them (to a UK number, +44 7786209730). I am not sure whether this one is a phone problem or something else.
I appreciate any of your assistance in advance and I am sorry if I have not provided enough information. I am also not sure as to which issues may simply be app problems as opposed to a problem with MIUI software or Xiaomi.
Hope I will be able to get some assistance!

Does the crash happen when the dialog opens, or when you click the orange entry?
Try giving your sdcard a name, possibly doing it from a desktop computer.
Hi, the crash happens when I click on "Overview" then click on "To start press [refresh icon]" and then you just press there - what normally happens is it will give a overall summary of the phone.
However, I have just tried it again. When that error message comes up, instead of tapping on the listed entry (as is instructed), I press "Done" and it is able to give me a summary!
So for some reason it appears as though it doesn't work (at least from the error message), and I just press done and it still works.
Thanks for your reply nevertheless! Would not have figured that out had you not replied hahaha.
If you just press "done", SD Maid won't have access to your external sdcard.
Did you try installing the Xiaomi EU rom, since it's supposed to be cleaned from chinese apps (Like the baidu one).
Hi all,
Sorry it seems like I never came back to expand what I have done to try and fix these problems.
I ended up changing to Hermes ROM here http://www.smiui.net/redminote2_hermes.php
Most of the issues above are now solved, but there are some that are still present such as #2 and #5. So Amplify still doesn't work, but I think this is a hardware limitation and Auto Call Recorder still doesn't work. As for why Auto Call Recorder doesn't work, I don't know why, but I am not greatly bothered by it so I have not attempted to do anything to resolve that problem.
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
This is my first looong post here. This is my journey with the new Mi5. I own it for 3 days now and I desperately need help with Android Auto.
After 2 weeks of waiting, I finally received my White Mi5 Pro from AliExpress. I love everything about the phone, the design, the build, the weight, the ceramic glass... For your information, I have been a fan of OnePlus and I'm currently using OnePlus 2 as my daily driver. It runs Hydrogen, because I hate the OxygenOS. In the past I flashed MIUI6 into my OnePlus 2 and I absolutely love the UX. I think this is the how all Android ROM should go for. So I didn't want to buy the OnePlus 3 when it came out, and ordered a Mi5 Pro instead.
My Mi5 Pro came with a Chinese stable ROM of course with loads of useless Chinese bloatware. After booting it up, I immediately checked for ROM update and did upgrade to the latest version (MIUI 7.5 | Stable 7.5.6.0 MAACNDE). Then I realized I need Google Play Store to download all my apps. As an Android developer, my life has been with Google since forever.
So of course I searched everywhere on the internet for ways to install Google Play Services. I did find the package that would allow me to use Google Play Store. The package is at http://en.miui.com/thread-285420-1-1.html. I managed to install it successfully and got all my regular apps downloaded from the Play Store. So far so good. The ROM still has the some Chinese in there but that's OK, as long as I have all the apps I want.
Did I mention I'm an Android developer? I need to go to work to pay for this wonderful device if they come out with another model next years right? I can't live without Android Auto and this is the main reason I bought the Civic. So I got in my car, a new 2016 Civic EX-T (T is for the Turbocharge FYI) and wait for the ANDROID AUTO to come up. It never came. OK, maybe the permission issue? I granted all permissions to Google Play Serivces, Android Auto, Maps etc. Didn't work. I turned off Permission completely. No hope too.
To debug more, I notice that Android Auto works with the OnePlus 2 when the device is connected in the USB MTP mode. By default, when I plug my phone to my laptop, the default connection mode is USB charging only. I knew I needed to change the default USB connection mode. I searched around and found this wonderful app MIUI USB Settings https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.vincze.usbsettings&hl=en as it is highly suggested by a lot of people. Plugged in the phone to my Mac, launched the app, it showed a white screen when it's supposed to show a Setting page for me to select the USB connection mode. Nice, I guessed MIUI7 changed this page to another URI so the app couldn't find it. I searched again and found that for Android 6 device, the USB Configuration is inside the Developer mode. I went in there and changed it to MTP protocol. But after I selected if from the list, it came back to charging only. Is this the bug right there??? I tried to select PTP, and it came back to Charging only too. Looks like MIUI7 likes to be charged so much. This is why everytime I plug the phone to my car, Android Auto can't launch because it's always in charging mode, meaning no data communication between my phone and the car. Why are we not able to set the default USB connection mode to MTP?
I then decided to manually change to MTP after connecting to my car. The car shows "Loading...' (yes! it recognized there's an Android Auto device connected) but that's it. Android Auto was not loaded in my car's touch screen. I looked back to the phone and saw "Google Play services has stopped".
Being an engineer, I did not give up. I thought it's due to the ROM issue. I went back to the download sitehttp://en.miui.com/download-299.html#435 and downloaded the Developer version (which is MIUI 8). Re-installed all the Gapps and restored all data. Everything worked. However I Android Auto didn't show up in the car touch screen when connected. I saw the "Android Auto connected to car" notification on the phone but that's it. I thought the cable had problem so I tried with the OnePlus 2 and the car show Android Auto after 1 second.
Again, I refused to give up. In the past I flashed so many ROMs onto the OnePlus 2 so I wanted to flash the global version onto Mi5 to use the gapps coming with it with the hope Android Auto would work. I researched more and knew that my Mi5 Pro came with a locked bootloader therefore I can't flash anything nor root it. So I searched more and knew that the only way to unlock bootloader is to apply for it and wait for the approval. Seriously Xiaomi, why do you make the process so hard? I applied a few days ago and now I had to wait for the approval? Why can't you automatically approve it and not manually? If the Xiaomi team is reading this please could you approve my request? My UID is (catennacio UID: 3262109).
So I'm stuck now, can't do anything with the locked bootloader. All the Gapps I tried (including the ones with Google Installer v2) crashed when connecting to the car. Then I searched more and found this http://en.miui.com/thread-299790-1-1.html . Huraaayy! I can still flash Global ROM to a bootloader locked device? Nice. I read the article just to know that I need a god darm Engineering cable!!!! Where can I get it? On AliExpress! When will I get it if I order? Another 3 weeks!!! Oh god why!! Why do you make my life so miserable?
So I'm really stuck now! I go back to my OnePlus 2 and it still works with the car. The Mi5 is not bricked but it's sitting on my table as a brick to keep my papers from flying. I can't use it without Android Auto working. All I can do is to wait (which I hate) for the bootloader to be unlocked, flash the global ROM and pray that Android Auto work.
With the new MIUI 8 Global Public beta coming out on Jul 11, I hope the dev team could take a look at this before releasing it, because I can't wait for another 1 month for the Stable release:
1. Please fix the USB default connection mode to be MTP, or at least allow people to change to. In MTP it's still charging. For a developer like me it's very annoying to see ADB doesn't recognize the phone because it's in the wrong mode and I have to manually change it to MTP.
2. Please really take a look into the Gapps you are puting in. I've been through a hellish experience trying to find a good Gapps package that has proper contact sync, supports multiple Google accounts well, and has PlayStore download apps on LTE. I have an unlimited package data but somehow the Gapps I use "Waiting for LAN to download because of the package size". More importantly, could you please test and assure that Android Auto will work? Because if not, after my bootloader is unlocked, I will have to install another ROM that supports Android Auto properly.
I'm sorry if this is too long, but my original excitement with the new device is now gone. I have to go back to my OnePlus 2. If you want to help, please approve my bootloader unlocking application so I can still keep trying...
If anyone knows a way to make a locked Mi5 work with Gapps and Android Auto please let me know!
Thanks for reading. Peace!
I haven't tried Android Auto (and don't have a car anyways) so I can't confirm if my Gapps work with it. Some people on the MIUI forums claim that it works on their phones here: http://en.miui.com/thread-249360-1-1.html, so it may be a Gapps issue. I personally downloaded an auto-installer off the Mi App Store, which seems to work fine with the exception of my Google Calendar facing sync problems.
However, I have unlocked my bootloader, and if memory serves it took less than 10 days for the request to be approved. Check the MIUI unlock application page--if it redirects to http://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html, you'll be able to download and use their unlocker. You could also download the application first and try your luck, it will have you log in to your Mi account then verify if your account's been approved.
Additionally: the "Waiting for LAN..." message appears because MIUI's download manager has a limit set for mobile data downloads by default. Go into the downloads setting page and switch the download size limit to unlimited.

Sell your Mi5 and buy a real phone?
Do you have any update, I have the same problem.
Hi there. I'm using MIUI 8 global developer with Gapps preinstalled on mi 5. I tried everything you tried on a CLA 250. LOVE IT BTW. I'm suspecting it could be the cable. I will try and let you know.

Good afternoon, I'm new with the Pocophone and MIUI, but I'm adapting fast.
I have a problem and I can not find the solution, I often hear music directly from the browser, the music from the browser with the screen off is cut when I spend about 7 or 8 minutes. I have tried with several browsers but it follows the same problem. I followed some comments saying that it is necessary to put the lock in the section of recent applications and I have also put the option "No restrictions" in the section of the battery for each of the browsers.
After these tests I have been unable to get the music to play from the browser without being cut.
Do you have any solution to this problem? Does anyone know what can I do?
Greetings and many thanks.

I think that it is the Doze function of Android that is putting the browser to sleep. I don't know the exact location of "battery optimisation" in the F1, but you can search for it in the Settings and choose "not optimised" for the browser. You may also have to do the same for the music player which plays your music.
Solved
Please, close this post. After the last estable update the problem is solved.
Thanks.
