Hey,
i am owner of an Cube iPlay10
It comes with stock Android 6.
No Contacts app pre Installed.
Tried to Install Google Contacts App (and other) but i cannot save any contact.
Eventough i have poeple added in my google account, its not syncing them to the tablet.
I have no system application called "contact storage" installed. Either there is no way to install it as an apk afterwards, or i need root!?!
And that will be another problem i guess...
Can you guys help me out?
I have done a video of it on YT for better understanding...
https://youtu.be/7z8CVLxNVBw
Sorry for bad english, i am not a native speaker.
Regards
Did you ever solve the issue? I also have an Iplay10 and I am facing the same problem...
Nope! Wanet to root it to store contacts storage.apk to /app and bricked it i guess!
You bricked it? During the rooting or afterwards when you moved contacts to the system app folder? Mind explaining more how it happened?
I rooted mine by using Magisk, it works fine but I'd really like to get contacts working...
I bricked it while using flash tool. Now its not responding. Only when pluged to the Computer, the PC recognizes a device. Thats all.
Try to find a apk called contacts storage in marshmallow version 6.0 and lut it in system/app folder. Reboot and it should install this apk. This app is missing in system apps so iplay cannot save your contacts.
If it still responds when plugged to computer, you should probably be able to reflash official rom and root it. I followed exactly the steps in that video to root mine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcxOFz7CR-I
The video creator has links for all the files, and even the official rom.
Would you happen to have a link to that contacts storage app? Did you hear this from someone else who has an Iplay10 and solved the issue?
i did it with help of this exact video.
smtg went wrong i guess
i have complete rom, preloader all the stuff with scatter file and everything checked in sp flash tool, but when i connect the phone, only a bing appears. SP Flash tool is showing no response. when i unplug the tablet, then sp brings the usual error.
i will oen up a new thread i guess.
try oneof these and tell me if it worked out for you.
https://android-apk.org/com.android.providers.contacts/
(lookout for marshmallow 6)
i have heard it from german android forum, and wanted to do just like that, but then bricked!
I found 2 in that list that were marked as Marshmallow compatible, but both failed upon install. They seem to be signed by specific manufacturers like samsung, etc... and given that they gave an error message upon normal install, I was reluctant to stick them into the system app folder. I don't have a pc handy to reflash or recover so I'm a little paranoid about bootloops/bricks...
Please let me know if you recover your tablet from that brick.
Dear all , just to share my issue (to reduce the risk for others to have the same ..) and maybe find somebody providing me some suggestion
after more than one month of use and having more problems than usual to have a GPS localisation ,
the watch is now always showing the message : Please open the App, and select "check for update" on the watch device page to continue the update"
Unfortunately , even if the watch is BT visible , BT paired , it is not any more visible to AMAZFIT nor to MI-FIT apps , and when I try to "find the watch" , after a while it appears a message : "connection impossible, please reset your watch and try again"
The watch does not show any menu , buttons are just reacting activating the display , even switching off and on the watch....but after few seconds of the logo " AMAZFIT"....again the message " Please open....." as wrote:
I believe it is lost.....but if some smart Guy has any suggestion , I'll try !!!
Thanks !!!
I played with notify&fitness several times changing FW, resources, GPS firmware, fonts etc. Never had any problems with my GTR even if "Please open the App, and select "check for update" on the watch device page to continue the update" message appeared. All I had to do was to renew update process again within notify&fitness app.

thanks for your comment, the problem here is the watch is not synchronized anymore with notify&fitness, so no way to repeat the update.....any other suggestion ??
thanks again
I have the sane problem
I did the same thing and I have the same problem. That's because I was not even 24h with my amazfit gtr

.......and did you find anyway to find a solution.....is yours still bricked ?
I think, your firmware and your res are not the suite version together. Now you have to connect your GTR with Notify and Fitness and install a couple res and firm. After that I think your GTR will be ok.
If you need I will send you firmware and res (version: 1.3.4.05)
I found a solution my friends!!!!
1) turn off bluetooth
2) turn off the watch
3) Uninstall notify & fitness
4) uninstall amazfit
5) restart the smartphone
6) turn on bluetooth
7) install from google play the amazfit app
8) turn on the watch
9) the app finishes setting the watch

Dear Carfaelm
I followed step by step your precious instructions , but Amazit si not finding the GTR...; let me check if my situation is the same you had :
a)after step 6 , did you manually paired the GTR with the BT of the phone ?
b) was your watch , after the turn on phase, showing the message"Please open the APP........." or was showing other conditions ?
thanks again

Well. The essential application is AMAZFIT.
I suggest trying another smartphone (I did this test and he recognized my GTR)
Another option would be to use the Mi Fit app. In this case, try using Mi fit to recognize GTR, then open amazfit.
I repeat: The key application is AMAZFIT. Do not freak out! If you do not brick your smartwatch, it will work again.

I'm thinking here: Try clearing your entire smartphone cache or use another device. you may need to force clock detection manually through the amazfit app

Thanks , your support is important !! but here it seems now clear to me that I need to find the way to perform an HARD RESET of the GTR ...Amazfit App seem to detect the GTR , but in the same time of the detection it appears the request of a RESET .....I was wondering who could know a way to generate an HARD reset with a combination of actions on the push buttons....or similar
If every other solution fails simply wait for the watch to discharge. It causes hard reset on mi bands so maybe for GTR too.

dear.
With me it was not necessary to do a hard reset. Once the app found GTR, it completed the installation. including already with the display always on feature. take it easy, explore the ways the app and watch connect. I'm afraid hard reset won't be easy. you might need to look for some amazfit-like apps like mi fit. I don't know what I could be doing wrong for not having done it yet, but don't despair. you don't bricker your gtr

Dear
thanks again , I appreciate your comments , it is thanks to these contributions I'm sure I'll find the way... !!
the problem is that the App does find the GTR , but REFUSE to connect , showing a popoup message with this TEXT ( approx) " Impossible to connect , your device need a factory reset - do it and try again " and the message ask me even to confirm to have " understood" ; this message is not the message that is delivered when the app is not finding ANYthing... ; effectively the Phone is finding the AMAZIT GTR and I can even PAIR the phone with the AMAZFIT GTR , but I do not find the way to obtain any communication with any app , so no way to perform any installation ......; I tried Amazfit app , M- FIT app , ...and so on
this is the why I'm looking to find the way to perform a factory RESET in a manual way ( not using any app because no APP is communicating with the watch !!)
The watch uis visible to the Bluetooth , I even can identify its MAC address : DC:B5:66:63:22:B5 but I do not know which app can connect to the GTR to let me perform the RESET
The phone is always showing the message " Please open the APP to ........perform the update" but not connecting==> no update !
Again, thanks again for any suggestion
I honestly can't think of an immediate solution. but I'll keep trying to help researching other solutions

Hello,
I have Verge A1811 with Rom 3.2.2.0. The watch does not update to newest version 3.2.6.0. The watch itself and the Amazfit App say: latest version running.
I tried with English (US) and German. Amazfit App is the current version.
Any ideas to force the update?
I had the same watch before (had to return it because of defect), there the update runs without any issues.
Any ideas?
turn wifi on watch on and make update via watch
Solved
I finally solved the update problem:
1. Delete Amazfit App on Phone
2. Created complete new Amazfit Account with location "USA"
3. Factory Reset on watch
4. Set watch to language US Englisch
5. Bind watch to App/phone
6. Connect watch to WiFi
7. Et voila: all updates received up to 3.2.6
hello, i have a stratos 3 and i want to install new apps in the smartwatch, i have tried with apkinstaller and with some apk´s of this list.

When you say "create an empty launcher(...)" should I keep the original launcher_config.ini and also the "new" launcher_config.ini in s3 storage or should I replace the "original" file with the new one!??
should i rename it the "new" launcher_config.ini or should i keep the both file with the same name!?
Good afternoon, I come here to give you my feedback on the friend 1immortal solution, I can say that in a way it worked because now I can see all the apps installed for me and the original ones including the "internal" ones of android. is there a Some way to not see these "internal" android apps?! Another thing that happened is that I got access to an "extra" app (stress level monitoring), I didn't install it but it appeared here !!!!
Hello,
A friend gave me his Lenovo tab 10 X605F tablet that his university gave him.
I plan to root it change the theme, boot animation and return it to him.
But there is a problem: I can't change the startup animation of the university.
Each time I try to change the animation, either manually or with a "bootanimations" application, the system crashes
I tried to trace the problem and I found that the media/system folder can't be touched without the tablet crashing completely, it's like a safety feature, but I don't know how to remove it.
I tried to see if there are any services running in the background that prevent me from removing this application but I couldn't find anything.
Do you have any idea where this come from?
PS:
The tablet is root, has twrp and magisk
