I'm having issue trying to reset my device to use Google Parental controls (Google Family Link) - doesn't seems to allow me to add children even though the device meet the requirements.
Currently using Pixel Experience 8.1 ROM, but I tried Lineage OS 14, as well as MIUI 8.2.1.
It seems to complain that Update is required and please try again.
Anyone having similar issue?
Bump. No help guys?
I am looking to pick up a prob7 however with the recent device blocking I need to be sure of google certification. Google’s official list includes all variants of the Pro 7 family, however i’ve seen zero proof from the actual device. Can anyone confirm whether the device is certified in the play store. Also, which rom variants are certified? Do I need the G rom or is the A rom also certified? I am
Maybe new devices will be approved or you need to wait for a system update.

What do you mean by Google certification? Are you interested if this phone would run Google Play, services and the whole suite of Google apps? It does.
G Rom has Google built in and every Google thing works as expected.
A Rom comes Google free, but you can install Google Store and all other Google things easily (by apk).
/e/ is a Google-free LineageOS fork for several devices that is fully open source and keeping your data save while still providing services like app store etc. and it was recently covered in the XDA news and as our device is now officially supported by LOS 15.1 chances are really good to get it maintained officially from /e/ foundation...
all that is needed is that we vote for it in the /e/ foundation community vote for next device support... if we only get about 25+ votes more it will easily become number one :good:
Put my vote in for Nougat and posted in comments a request to add us to Oreo list

MicroG is not a full ROM, it's a replacement for Gapps that allows you to use Google-like services, without any Google apps(like a Maps clone). This e/ is a full ROM, like LineageOS(based on LOS actually), that also bundles their own Gapps replacements(their own Email, Drive, even an Assistant). So think of it like LOS + MicroG, except it's made together by the same developers and so more integrated(LOS preserves support for Gapps, e/ will not work with any Gapps). Plus, e/ is focused on privacy, so all of its Android code has been modified to remove any kind of Google branding or prioritisation(I'm quite sure the Android system actually gives things like Google Play Services extra powers/permissions, e/ won't). LOS though is focused on providing (some useful) customizations, while working with most packages out there(Gapps, MicroG, or neither). So LOS still preserves those Google-first code built into Android that e/ removes
EDIT: Oops clarification I read up a bit more on /e/, they actually bundle microG lol so it actually is a LOS + MicroG setup(for now), but they are looking to add more of their own services(currently just their own Email) so that might change in the future Still it is true that it's more integrated than a simple LOS + microG will ever be because that's their focus, unlike LOS and MicroG

Thank you very much, e/ sounds like a real solution for enhancing privacy on android!
Thanks folks, nice improvement -> from 8th rank to forth rank in two days... Only some more votes and we achieve first rank!
Voted!
I registered and voted! Thank You!
Registered and voted. Thanks.
Voted yeeehaaa
Nice one guys, Axon 7 is ranked first one now :victory:
Please continue to vote if you haven't already and ask for Oreo support in the comments, too :good:
I really wish I could have something like this, and still have Google Play, but maybe have it running in a VM? Running sandboxed? I'd like to still access all the apps I've bought on my Google account without giving Google everything on my phone.
My number is through hangouts, so unless I have an alternative to google voice/hangouts, I can't use this

Hello,
I have an android 10 GSI budget phone on my hands, previously I used GLTools in android 9 to be able to get high graphics settings on my phone but it's no longer working nor supported.
I was wondering what alternatives do I have so that I can spoof my device as a pixel 3 for example?
The game I'm trying to get to patch is League of Legends: Wild Rift(it's a unity game).
Downgrading to 9 is a no-go for me since I like to have the latest GCam. I have Magisk and can use xposed if really necessary but I'd rather avoid that.
Devs made a new, better version of GLTools that supports android 10 and 11

I have a friend with a Huawei Honor 9 DV (model number STF-L09) which I believe is an official UK model and it's currently running on Android 8 as they are concerned if they upgrade, they may lose the Google apps. I've been trying to search for a definite answer on this but there's so many Huawei devices sold in different regional versions as well I can't get a clearcut answer on it. My understand is if the device came with Google apps it will keep them and the devices without Google apps were shipped that way, is that correct?
Yes.
I had a honor 9 last year running Android 9 and Google play store was fully functional and all apps installable.
I'm running STF-L09 with Android 9 and Google apps with no problem.
