I recently started tinkering around with Bluestacks again. It's been a few years. I do remember it being fairly easy to root, and install Xposed. Now all I am finding are a bunch of frustrated posts regarding the lack of support for Xposed on Bluestacks platform. What was it?? Did someone finally contact someone about something, lol??
Even the famous BSTweaker stopped providing not only support on their latest tweakers, but have also removed all traces of tweakers that were compatible to patch Xposed. Seriously, what happened?? Mysteriously the BSTweaker version 5.7.1 is gone everywhere on the net. Seems as though you will no longer find any version of BSTweaker that once supported Xposed patching ANYWHERE.
And any attempt through their respectable XDA channels to get an answer or solution will be either met with "it's already been answered" with no link to where it was answered, or you will just be completely ignored. And sooooo many people too.
BSTweaker 5.x does not work on BlueStacks 4.40 and above. Same with BSTweaker 6.x.

This is already known by the insane amount of people already trying to accomplish the same thing I am. Finding versions of Bluestacks and BSTweaker that work together IS NOT the problem here.
Just finding somone who actually has the last supported Bluestacks and BSTweaker for Xposed would prove impossible. You will not find a single verson anywhere on BSTweaker's site that supports the install/patch of Xposed, to include their old versions they provide through GoogleDocs. And I reference BSTweaker version 5.7.1 because it's the last known version of BSTweaker that supported the install/patching of Xposed.
Why not use MEmu instead of BS? It's also Android 7 based, comes pre-rooted and you easily can install Xposed. on it.

Been years since I've used it. Thinking pre-Note, lol. I'll try that. I just really love Bluestacks configuration. TY

Dear all,
Has anybody so far successfully installed an Android Rom on the Meizu MX3?
Any hint would be mostly appreciated!
I could not find anything via Google or forum search...
Cheers
Julian
I realize this is reviving an old-ish thread, but I too am interested in any info regarding the above.
Due to high pricing, the MX3 is a possible option for me soon.
Hey iSilence,
I have not made any progress so far on the issue. However, I managed to install the Google Playstore and thereby got most of the relevant software related functions I need on the MEIZU.
Would still prefer a nice Android on that machine.
Cheers

From what I've found out till now, the issue with Meizu is that the bootloader is locked.
The furthest people have gotten was to install MIUI on the MX2, and there are a few fixes/mods for the MX3.
MIUI may be possible on the MX3, the device is still pretty fresh so there's hope.
I don't know about stock Android though. One can hope.
I installed CM 12.1 and Netflix won't work. I searched, and searched and searched the thread about Netflix, but all I see is talk about "Netflix hack version 10." Then I found this post by Lysergic Acid.
It says, "Updated Netflix hack to version 10." I'm confused. When I flashed the ROM, it didn't have Netflix on it. So I downloaded Netflix from the Play Store, and it doesn't work. The video just loads forever. It never plays. I read that other Lollipop ROM's for the GT-i9100 warned that Netflix doesn't work with them. I can't have this ROM if Netflix doesn't work!!! So I was hoping Netflix would work with it. Someone please help and clarify how I can download the "Netflix hack." I just want Netflix to work.
I have no idea what I'm looking for. I tried both of these apk's and neither one works. I just get a black screen when I try to open Netflix (the apk downloaded in the link I just provided), and it hangs there forever. Please... someone tells me where to get a working version of Netflix!

The netflix hack is still included. Probably, it could be android 5.1's fallacy. You can try an alternative method, though. Just install an older version of netflix and check if that works. If it doesn't, then it assures that the error is related to the new android version.
Regards.
"The netflix hack is still included."
Included in what? I don't understand. Included in the ROM? If so, where is it? Why is it not there? Why is there all this talk about a hack version which indicates that others who have CM 12.1 also have Netflix working?
I tried downloading old versions of Netflix and I got the same issue (video forever loads, but never plays). I would have never installed CM 12.1 if I knew I couldn't get Netflix working. WHY ARE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT A NETFLIX VERSION 10 HACK?! Is Netflix working on their phones installed with CM 12.1? I asked on that thread, but my question was just ignored.
Please help! I *need* Netflix. I give the phone to my 3 year old daughter so she can watch stuff on it. Kodi is too confusing for her to use and navigate through.

I'm not trying to be rude, but if you are flashing the latest lollipop roms, then you have to expect bugs. If netflix is so important I would recommend going back to the last stable rom you used with netflix and keep an eye on the progress on the development. When the issues are fixed you can then flash with confidence. Nobody who expects everything to work should be flashing alpha and beta builds and works in progress
Then the thread lies. Because people there supposedly have Netflix working, I read that BEFORE I FLASHED THE ROM. They made it seem as if Netflix was included in the ROM. It was misleading.
I have written on the thread three times in between a bunch of chatter, and I'm still continuing to be ignored for a simple answer. If the answer is somehow "No, there is no way to have Netflix," then I can be on my merry way and flash Kitkat again. But instead, I get no answer. You would think something like that would be in the FAQ, like all the other Lollipop custom ROM's, but no.

I understand your frustration, but I doubt whether too many people are worried about netflix on an s2. If anyone had similar experiences or had found a way for it to work you would have had a reply. There is no point spamming a thread because you don't get any responses; if I think I can help anyone I will answer, if I cant I don't answer. And for the record no-one is lying, no-one promised it would work. The developer(s) included a hack that they thought would work. They don't rigorously check every feature and fix they include, they rely on us testers to report anything not working and they try their best in their free time to get everything working. As I said in the last post if you expect everthing to work without problems, go to an older trusted build that is no longer in alpha/beta stages and wait for these ones to be developed
Thread closed at OP's request.
I need an older version of Andromium OS. Andromium used to work with android 4.2, but now it doesn't. The current version is 0.1.5 and the last version 0.1.4 only work with android 4.4. Does anyone have an apk for version 0.1.3, 0.1.2 or 0.1.1? Thanks in advance.
BTW, I have searched all over the web for the apk files for versions 0.1.1, 0.1.2 and 0.1.3, but can only find 0.1.4 and 0.1.5. The versions do exist I just can't find the apks.
Um...maybe contact the developer and/or check their forums?

Hi Guys,
I really looked forward to playing Pokemon Go and was really shocked when i saw that the release version of it supports just android 4.4. kitkat and onwards but no older versions. My phone is stuck on 4.3 jellybean and cant be rooted so im sitting here sadly now I already managed to get the app installed by using Gmaps patcher, it also starts but won`t let me sign in via google or pokemon club. So now im asking you guys at xda, who are the most amazing guys in android scene, is there ANY possibility to make it work on android 4.3 jelly bean? The fact that it was planned for 4.3. in the beginning and beta testers claimed it would work on that version leaves me with al glance of hope.
Here are some ideas i have as a noob:
Since its possible to install the game and make it run, but just signing in wont work i guess the app is not far from running on 4.3. On top of that the games developer and beta testers claimed it working on 4.3 and onwards. So i guess in early stages it already WAS running on 4.3. Maybe it can be patched or modified in a way that it will work? If so, is anybody willing to work on that proect? Im affraid me as a noob is no option.
The Fact that beta testers and the developer said it would work on 4.3 might mean that an older version or beta version would run on 4.3.? Is there anybody who has a old/beta/field test version to test that?
Is there any other option? Or is it complete hopeless? Please try to help me, i was waiting for this great game so long and now i cant pay it, while all my friends do

Ah that sucks. I think there are some apps that where being back portet. If it's viable to Pokémon go too i dont know through.
You could buy a cheap as android Phone with android 5.0
For example ZTE blade l3 it should be around ~80 to 90 bucks, if you can afford that much

Thank you for our answer. Maybe someone knows if this gets packported maybe? Im sure lots of people would appreciate much.
You can dowload 0.13.5 version.that work.
you can't install apk files that uses higher API level (Pokemon GO, 19) on older Android version (Jelly Bean, 16). It's like trying to use a remote tv controller like a cellphone, you're trying to use a function that your system doesn't have. i don't think a generic patcher can solve this and i don't know where you found that apk, but you should be careful of what you install on your device. Anyway, out of curiosity i checked for you, given the possibility that for some "strange" reason Niantic decided to set the minimum sdk level to 19 without really use any functions that is not supported in Jelly Bean (whaaa? so why use higher API level than? maybe cause if you are running on KitKat you are 90% running on a "new" device, this is faster than making a list of hundreds of compatible phones). Worst case scenario is that you will get a NoClassDef exception (probably) and of course app crash.
(the following is not a piracy attemp, we are not trying to hack anything. it's intended for learning purpose and to satisfy your curiosity)
ok, let's start :
so, you need to set minimum sdk to Jelly Bean level (16)
to do this , you will need to edit the AndroidManifest.xml file, inside the apk, adding this line
("<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16">)
and of course deleting any labels or parameters that are not recognized by 16 API level (in Pokemon Go case : things like android :isGame, android : banner, etc..)
(oh..but you can't just edit the manifest inside the apk, that is compiled. you need to decompile it first)
even if doing this doesn't break the app (very improbable) now you need to recompile it again (just for obtain a new compiled manifest file, that you can inject in the original app using Winrar/Winzip..infact .apk are just jar/zip files).
of course, we can always just edit the compiled manifest, just need to be able to read, unreadble anti human characters.
so, now it's "working" on android 4.1 , but can't get past splash screen, hangs after that

anyway i'm really curious, can you tell me what you did? i'm hitting a roadblock
oo
Could we go the other direction? Is it possible to install the required libraries that 4.1/4.3 is missing and fake the system version to Pokemon Go?
Mine wont install at all on 4.3

actually, Pokemon Go can be installed on Android 4.1. it hangs after the splashscreen because it can't "see" some .so files (even if they are inside lib folder). it seems to be cause of a different behaviour of dlopen on different Android platforms.
i'm trying to get a list of dependences for that libray and see if it can be workarounded

Being a no good dirty cheater, I'm a big fan of Game Guardian and I use it with great success on my HTC U11 phone. I recently discovered that it can be used without root, by using a virtualization environment such as Parallel Space or VirtualXposed. As I haven't rooted my M5 (SHT-09), I downloaded Parallel Space and GG and got it all running. However, I've found that I cannot make any edits to game memory space from within GG.
The are a number of posts on the GG forum suggesting that there is a bug (or security feature) in many Huawei device cores / firmware that relates to the implementation of the ptrace system function call. Something in the firmware seems to prevent the GG process from modifying the child process memory space using PTRACE_POKETEXT or PTRACE_POKEDATA.
The suggestion of the developer of GG is to "change the firmware so that there the ptrace system call works normally".
Anyone aware of this "feature" of Huawei device firmwares? Is there / could there be a solution to modify the firmware to "fix" this behaviour?
I saw you posted on my thread. Thanks for that. I wanted to see whether flashing a different kernel like Serenity would help. But i doubt it. Might be worth a try. Would have loved to know that beforehand. :/ Any other ideas? What I am seeing is that it needs a competent developer to recode the Kernel. I would then flash that patch. Other than that it is defined as unfixable. That we'd have to change the device. :/
It's the main reason that I haven't rooted / unlocked the bootloader, as running GG is pretty much all I use root for on other devicxes. And the fact that rooting / boot unlock kills Widevine level 1 support, which is madness on a 2k device like the M5. Wouldn't want Netflix streaming SD content only.
From what I understand, which isn't much, the issue is buried deep down in the kernel. Not sure if a custom kernel would solve the problem or not. Knowing XDA, I'm sure someone will be crazy enough to try it at some point in the future!

Yeah I get that, but some games dont have a cloud feature. Making parallel space useless. Plus I appreciate some other root features. I have a note 8 which should work GG without root, but I'll see how it goes. Oh really, I'm a big time stream fan. I havent tried Netflix with root yet . Should still work tho. I think. Hmm well, problem is all kernels are made for devices like the mate 10 or the P20. Not sure if they will work with the M5, wouldn't want to brick after all the trouble. [Edit, found the nextflix module apk. Can flash that with Magisk. Makes it work again ]

Alright guys, I found this out today (I'm also Kr1msonReaper on GG forums);
Huawei kernel prevents GG from working in Android Oreo HOWEVER-- If you downgrade to Android Nougat, I find that it works perfectly. Hope this helps!
Just a note, when you are, of course, debloating Nougat, make sure to disable Huawei system update app so you don't find yourself in Oreo the next day.

How do you downgrade to nougat? Any reason not to do it? And will I retain root ?
I actually like Nougat more than Oreo as it fixes issues such as the ptrace error and seems to have more battery optimization. It's been a long time since I downgraded to Nougat and since then I got a new phone but here's the tutorial I followed. @mrmazak has helped me out of se sticky situations and his tutorials have never failed me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649/amp/
I believe you will lose root but you can easily flash magisk again after installing the downgrade package.
Hope this helped!

I am not sure this would work on the Huawei mediapad m5 tablet. As far as I can tell it never had a nougat firmware to rollback too. I looked for sht-w09 and the all the files appear to be for Android 8 and none for 7 nougat. Unless I am missing something??
Other than they locked out ptrace stuff and that it appears unlikely to get Android 9 in the US for my mode l its a pretty good tablet. Maybe I should just sell it and move on to a tab s6 that can be rooted.

Hey! You're right I couldn't seem to find a nougat downgrade. On the bright side, I did find a Pie update for your model. Who knows, maybe ptrace will be fixed in that version?
