I've tried everything I can think of but no dice. Can't use "ok Google" voice command in the assistant and it everything points towards this being a region problem (even though my device is in English US and they don't have a region choose option {at least not one you can open}). Also another weird quirk is that messenger chat heads work for a bit and then go away completely (like even the option to enable it is gone after sometime installed, you can reinstall it to get it back for a bit and then it goes away) any help relating to these 2 issues would be greatly appreciated.
Update about the voice assistant: somehow I manage to click on the "ok Google" setting in the voice match section, it let me train my voice model and everything and then it disabled itself still not letting me do anything...
Update about the messenger problem: Still going on, only works for a few minutes after reinstalling then the option to enable it disappears and moves to the notification settings (and when you enable it there only a grey banner appears when you pop a chat head)
Lastly does anyone know if there's a way to update that permission? (On the 3rd screenshot) still trying to change the region to no avail
Tried SO MANY DAMN THINGS and configurations to get this to work -- and like you, for a fleeting moment -- I could get the Voice Match thing to not be greyed out. But then. Moments later. It was greyed out again, dashing all my hopes and dreams (but stupidly tricking me into trying for another few hours in vain).
I have no clue what sequence of things I did to get that enabled for the brief 30 seconds.
Other Realme devices have secret code command menus that allow you to change the phone region setting (not the Google setting)... unfortunately none of those codes worked for this GT 5G. So I think the only option is to attempt to flash Global rom on it, which I suspect has been solved by some folks in the other thread. Perusing now.

That's what I'm thinking in the long run, since I just got it a few days ago imma chill out (since it's not a vital functionality) in case I gotta return it or something imma run stock and down the line I'll qo the custom ROM route. Thx for your input

hi guys,
Please bear with me, i am very inexperienced to this. I have a Sprint TP & while I dont hate it, some things really annoy me. Im not sure if I need a custom rom or just a few tweaks & clean up the exisiting software, hopefully you can help.
THINGS I HATE:
Screen Lag from portrait to landscape. Sometimes I have to open & shut the phone 5 x's & take out the stylus before it switches. & general TF3D lag.
Constant notifications of messages being sent!
Not having month calender view be default.
A better way to lock keys rather than having to punch in #'s (the pre has a nice lock feature)
Battery life.
Flash Support?
A straigt up contacts button without having to load my fav, then hit a button, then load.
If some1 could point me in the right direction that would be cool. Ive read a bit & a custom rom seems a little scary, so Im nervous to do anything that complex.
THANKS!
Aight I'll bite. The screen lag your S.O.L. without changing to a custom ROM. You can try some of the reg hacks but I never found anyone them to be worth it on the stock rom.
You can change the message sent notifications in the reg or you can find a cab some where. (Searching helps) but most custom roms already have this.
Calender view is an easy one just open the calender and hit menu>tools>options and change start in to month view.
Battery, again custom rom.
Flash support. its there, again searching helps.
I noticed a huge performance and battery life increase when I quit using TF3d and 6.5 default for the today screen on any rom. You can find all those settings when you hit start>settings>today
hope that gets you started. has far which custom rom to start out with. MightyMike, Juicy, and, SSS are good starts.
Overall, do your homework, get your **** straight and go to town. It can be fun trying new software and roms on your phone and all the info is here and on ppcgeeks.
Thanks for the help. Ive read a few things here & there, but it does get confusing & i just dont want to brick my phone, that is why i am tentative about custom roms... I found a new browser for flash support (skyfire) but it looks like crap. Maybe over the weekend i can read up on the custom roms you suggested. Thanks again.
Disable SMS Sent Notification
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
I'm new too. There's lots of good stuff up in the Raphael Wiki to get started with.
so, ive seen this before
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settin gs] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
Where is that exactly?
& i was just over @ pcgeeks, is seems you can put the stock rom onto your phone if needed. Is this true? Would you be able to bring it in for service if you do that? or would they be able to find out you flashed it?
You can flash the stock rom back onto the phone. Just remember to relock it as the last step.

if you see anything with HKEY or HKLM it is referring to a registry edit. To do any of registry edits you need a registry editor such as (but not limited to) PHM or Resco explorer. These are free .cab files that can be downloaded automaticly to your phone.
What they are saying at PPC is that if you flash any roms to your phones and something happens to it or you need to take it in for repair you HAVE to change it back (or flash it back) to its original operating system...you know the laggy nonresponsiveness lol. Otherwise you run the risk of never being able to buy a phone from that company again and I dont know what else but I keep imagining public castration...which is extremly scary to me <_>
As far as battery life etc, there are some tweaks for the battery life and certain ROMS actually save battery life. There are also some programs that save battery life as well.
Theres a locking function called JMZ lockscreen that is included in some roms...personally I dont use it but then again its user preference.
I would recommend if you are wanting to change your phone a little. Look into how to unlock your phone so you can start flashing roms. The initial process takes a little bit of time, but its like riding a bike everything takes time. feel free to email me if you want and have any questions and Ill do my best to help you out.
*edit* One last thing that is CRUCIALLY important. When you go to flash a rom if you are a CDMA (verizon, etc) carrier do NOT try to install a GSM (att, etc) rom on your phone or you will kill it.
I will definatley be reading up on this stuff this weekend. I cant stand typing messages sideways anymore. Thanks for your help. Im sure Ill be posting a few more questions soon!
I need input on if I should keep everything as is or change it to this kind of menu
Code:
Press 1 to root
Press 2 to add gApps
Press 3 to replace system components
I personally like how it is now but want public opinions.
I personally felt that it was fine as is, very simple and straightforward however, if you could make the Root script Unroot too, that would be interesting. Though i have no wants to unroot so i do not know how the process differs from rooting it (i.e. is doable through batch files) so it is even capable of being done that way. My 2 cents for what they are worth.
Also, do not take this as it can't be improved upon as everything can, however even if you didn't it would be fine as is.

I already released a unroot one click app. :|
I think it's fine as is. It's easy enough to understand, once you get everything working properly.
I love the root script it eliminated some force close issues on my device. I was wondering since roms are not avaiable if their could be custom scripts. Maybe a super custom script with three keyboard choices a choice of launchers replaced stock email, stock keyboard,gallery, wallpapers, homecatcher and other enhanced apps. I don't know if this is a direction you want to go just throwing it out there. It might help some new users. Also I dont know if its possible to have shortcuts like any cut has incorperated for debug keyboard and application menus that are hidden. Again just thinking outloud so if this sounds like a big pile of suck please just ignore and move on.

When I ran the script, the last part of nookandzergy that put on a custom keyboard didn't work. So I just reset and did the root with saying no to custom keyboard and it worked fine.
I like your idea. I ran the script in the original thread and it said it was successful. But the android market is hinky. It took dforever to register my device, and now it crashes as soon as it is launched. I did a factory reset, still have the same problem. Is there a way to tell for sure that the root was succesfu,. Thanks btw for your hard work on this. It is greatly admired.
Would it help resolve the driver issue that a lot (me) have had?
Dude thats strictly a windows problem. I swear, trying to get this thing detected properly on windows 7/xp was one of the most frustrating adroid rooting experiences I've ever had. After 3 hours f screwing around with the windows method, I switched to Ubuntu linux and had it rooted in 30 min.
I thought you script was fine as is, this is my first Android device and first experience Rooting and everything seems to be working fine. Thanks

Spoken like a true developer. You craft a thing of beauty and continue to be drawn to making it even cooler.
I don't know if you should rewrite the script or not but I like your attitude!
I decided to not rewrite it to have a numbered menu as that wouldn't go with my idiot pproof batch scripting habits so instead, I added new features yesterday and today.
Sent by breaking the sound barrier
I think it is working great
I don't know it's a right place to write down this kind of thread. But it contains a contents about ROM so... I think this Forum is right place.
Okay Let's starts it.
Here are some informations and news about CM7 and MIUI for streak.
First I'm not good at English so some sentences were broke and I don't know I can write down what I want to said.
When I find that both ROMs were on xda, I announce it to hPa, developer who ports CM7/MIUI for streak and HeffyEnd who translate MIUI into Korean and add some patches.
they posted some article at Korea's dell streak user community and HeffyEnd show a way to use the MIUI into English. HeffyEnd tries to write about that at xda but he didn't write a post or thread at xda yet so I posts it.
First, hPa says he will upload and posts some informations and datas at xda's Streak Forum.
He says he will upload data about CM7 and MIUI's development and also how to change Streak's frame late into 55Hz. He will comes to this forum so if someone want to ask something, ask to him.
and he also say he didn't know how exactly he active a 2.4Ghz at Streak. He didn't tries to fool the developers and users, he didn't know the what's the problem of this fake clock(or useless 2.4Ghz… well I don't know to what to call this happening) problem so he just guesses about it.
He says his CM7 uses different clock rule after 988MHz, so He guesses the two tables which able to over clock to 1.4Ghz and 2.4Ghz are actually shows the same result without clock rate they show it.
and Korean user Deltaman tries a test on CM7 and figure our that the effect of over clock decrease after 1267Mhz. Aututu score increased when he increase the clock after 1267Mhz but effect was decrease. and result of 1806/2208/2476MHz is almost same(3216/3352/3351 point).
I say once again. "He didn't tried to fool others. It just a accident or something like that."
by the way, He hopes that xda's developers will make improve versions bases of his develop result. Yes, he hopes it.
Second, HeffyEnd says that there is a way to use the English version of MIUI.
There is a two MIUI rom. One is released by hPa and the other one is translated and modified by HeffyEnd. At the xda's link, I think It's the HeffyEnds.
HeffyEnds rom is optimized to Korean not for other country's so it's hard to use it outside Korea so use the hPa's MIUI instead.
http://www.mediafire.com/?y16376w3a8shlwi
At this link, you can download a original hPa's MIUI. Download this ROM and modify it's build.prop file.
When you open the build.prop file, you can see the text like below
ro.product.locale.language=ko
ro.product.locale.region=KR
change ko and KR into en and EN so both line will change like these
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=EN
save it and install it. HeffyEnd says to use this way, you can use the English version of MIUI.
by the way, this ROM is customized to Korean's phone number system so… It doesn't fit to other country's one. I mean some phone number at address book could be looks odd.
and I need to add some information about MIUI.
This MIUI ROM needs some times to stable after installation. After you install and reboot it. Do not touch streak about 5~10min to Rom will takes stable. I recommend 15min for safety.
If you uses phone without this rest time or try to use too fast, This rom show some errors. When I tried to use little bit hurry, I failed to add my google account at MIUI. So I reinstalled it and take a 15mins breaks, It works fine.
There is a more things you need to before you uses MIUI.
- Goes setting->My Location->Automatic Assisted GPS to OFF. If you don't do it. GPS didn't works well.
- Run superuser application and turn off the root. push the setting button on streak to call a menu and select a setting. At there you see the Root permission control, Turn off and turn it on again. After that, reboot.
- At the home screen, push device's menu button -> goes to home setting -> turn off and on the high quality and shadow.
and finally, I don't exactly know about that, MIUI has a problem when you using the titanium backup's full recovery mode(data and apps), So don't use it or partly recover what you needs. In my opinion, I recommend you to re setting datas manually.
In contrast, MIUI recovery works fine.
and last... I want to say about other ROM develop tries at Korea. I don't know those developer like to announce it but this is a common information at Korea so it thinks it doesn't make an problem.
- Three developers were tries to make a CM9. They has a their own version of CM9 test rom. I don't know now they uses hPa's data but they were trying to make it.
- The other ROM developer calls lonkey12 ,who makes a ROM calls LICS MOD(It does not released on XDA), tries to port CM7. It's the different to hPa's try. There is a some rumor that he tries to port CM9, but I failed to check it's true.
- There is a one more developer tries to develop custom ROM for Streak. NeCoritol who makes a NeCoroiD ROM(You can see his name and his rom at xda wiki but not uploaded here) tries somethings. I don't know what exactly he makes but he tries something.

WOW! Thank you so much dear! its really nice to see working and stable miui rom on my streak! we can use this for daily use
yes, and u also can change any other values in BP (e.g. DPI, heapsize, etc) - preflash
Hey! How great is this? Would someone be kind to post pictures of the MIUI rom and provide us with their user experience with it?
Ive been on the CM7 rom, and can say its the best rom available.. though the battery drain is worse but i dont use my streak as a phone.

Hello,
FM Radio not working in MIUI Rom........
All great guys make Dell Streak Alive
Dear all,
I know this forum has "developer" in the title and all and am relatively tech-savvy, but long story short I am neither technically inclined nor remotely interested in overtly technical affairs related to my mobile phone.
A couple months ago I switched from iPhone, been happily using Kit Kat. The occasional update is pushed and I just install it because otherwise it keeps sitting in my notifications. Overall I was very happy. Yesterday an update came along, and it turned my phone upside down. This thing is called Lollipop, I have discovered. I cannot undo this and I do not want to wipe my phone, so I've tried playing nice with this thing but as it stands I cannot tolerate some of the new features.
1. Close All in app switcher is gone.
2. Menu bar and lots of other bars are in bright blue or other bright shades.
3. No widgets on lock screen.
4. Currently playing media image always shown on lock screen.
These annoy me to no end. So I would like to root my phone to fix these. Just. Want. Simple. Root.
Half an hour of searching and there is no simple guide to do this. Some say you need to wipe your phone, others say you need to put it in an ADB or something and you need a baseband or a kernel or TWRP. On an iPhone you just turn on Airplane Mode, hit a button and it's done. On Android it all looks like like an in-depth exercise in thermonuclear astrophysics.
Please, somebody, is there a simple way to root an Xperia Z2? I'm not interested in using my phone to take over the world or something. I don't wish to spend more than 10 minutes to get this over and done with. I have PCs and Macs, whichever guide is the easiest just throw it my way. Thank you.
Flash 4.4.2
Root
Install recovery
Flash rooted 5.0 in recovery
Simple (and returned in search results). That your only option to possibly keep data.
Thank you for your reply Matt.
Please don't take this the wrong way, I appreciate your help but I truly am new to all this, so please pardon me if these questions sound elementary.
I have googled for terms such as "simple root", "z2 root", however most "few-click" root programs don't support Lollipop at the moment, which is a 5.0 something, I don't know.
When you say "flash 4.4.2", what exactly do you mean? Are we reinstalling Kit Kat? If so, doesn't that mean losing all data on the phone?
OK, first, download and install Flashtool from HERE , install the software and then go to drivers folder, or just copy and past this link in your Computer address bar C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe
check these boxes |Flashmode drivers|Fastboot drivers| Xperia Z2 device drivers and press next to install them, better restart your computer afterwards. After doing these steps reply to me and I'm gonna tell you what next
QUICK RANT:
There are people with similar problems on Blackview's forum website, so I thought to add another unsolved google result to the mix. Apparently every thread and comment are approved my their moderators, even with the promise that each one is answered within a day, all of my thread requests and comments have been blocked. I assume this has to do with maintaining product confidence. At surface level all the issues seem minimal and the threads all have answers. Someone even stupidly asked If the phone would get the Oreo update, now their lone approved post in the rom section is the poster-child for post release support "hope". I guess I am stupid for buying this inaccessible paperweight.
MY PROBLEM:
No matter what option I select at the startup, the device stalls on the connect to wifi and check for update screen. No amount of updating or even suggested OTA upgrade will fix this especially given that OTA requires access to the options/settings screen that is only found post startup. I have basic experience flashing a droid III to make it compatible with different carriers. I don't have experience flashing newer phones or custom roms. Please don't put my thread in limbo, you are my only hope frontier superusers! :angel:
Edit/Update:
I figured out a work around based on a YouTube video I watched that explained that you need to access the settings menu to force stop the "startup wizard" process. I accessed it through using the contact/feedback page feature of the third-party custom emoji keyboard that comes stock on the Android. Perhaps I shouldn't detail anymore in case seeing how this is a hole in the Android nougat security. PM me for more details if you want.
TLDR; there is a stock app on these phones that allow you to bypass a bugged startup wizard and resume basic setup and function of the phone as long as it has not been synced with a previous Google account no flashing required.
I had no issues with the setup wizard, it just needed some time. (I skipped it on the first start to perform a OTA update before make any more settings. After this update everything works like it should.)
Same problem
I have the exact same issue. The installation wizard keeps on quiting. Drives me nuts too. I does not matter what I do and what options I choose, with or without sim, with or without wifi. It has something to do with the android version, more android telephones are affected. However on other phones (see YouTube) you can still access the normal menu and work around the issue. With the BV9000PRO this does not work.
Hi. I'm having the exact same problem on my bv9000 pro, but when I access the boot menu, it's in Chinese. Are the menu settings in the same order as in English? That way, I may be able toggle/turn off that setup wizard and be able to use the phone. Thanks.
This works for me
This worked on my phone: copied from a YouTube post:
Disable all the wi-fi connections in the radius of the Phone, skip the procedure for the SIM, at this point it will ask you if you want to continue without connections and yes, do not enter the name and surname to give the phone a name, accept the Google / Android agreements, at this point the phone will be activated, no update is necessary via OTA if you have the BV9000 PRO-F phone (full HD version). There are two versions of this PRO series phone, the BV9000 PRO (not full HD) and the BV9000 PRO-F (full HD). I hope this solution will work for you too. Let me know bye.
I had the same and trouble shooted through it all and the only issue I have left is finding a carrier for the USA and if or how to change parameters of Bv 9000 phone frequencies to work in the United States. Any advice from anybody in the world please send advice, Tony

Hello everybody,
trust my message finds you well.
Sorry for posting this here, but i am not able to post a new thread and honestly i have been dealing with blackview sites and their admins with no luck , they dont answer your questions, neither do any support, nothing !
I have a blackview BV9000 pro, my screen broke up but is still working.
I bought a new screen and installed it but didn't work.'
'
After reading some forums, i understood that the new screens that are sell now are FHD+ and we need to upgrade our ROM so the new screen can work.
My questions are now :
1- where can i find this new rom that includes English and google play services.
2- if i install it, my old screen will still work?
3- this rom will let the new FHD+ screen to work?
thank you in advance.
Hi I know this is an old thread but I have issues with my second Blackview phone that is the BL6000 Pro.
To answer you: I have found several links to stock roms on the Blackview forum, they might even be interchangeable but I haven't tried.
I am currently seeking support to see if flashing with another "series" ROM will fix the Bl6000 pro hardware compatibility issues.
