The major difference is that you have the ROM in zip file and the ROM is deodexed, zipaligned and the /system/app folder has been moved to /data/app and it supports init.d script support.
Majority of the difference is behind the User Interface. In terms of user interface they both look alike.
Have you restored your phone to Factory settings considering your problem?

Flashed your ROM, everything working fine with great speed and also the battery life got improved dramatically. Very nice work.
Yes, I restored to the factory settings but no success, looks like hardware fault. Tried wifix manager app from play store but still the wifi and mobile data disconnect while screen turns off.

Thanks for your positive feedback
Have you tried this?
Goto System Settings > Under Wireless and Networks Tap WLAN > press menu key and tap advanced > Tap Keep WLAN on during sleep and select always.
Now your phone won't disconnect, if this is the case.

Thank you for your suggestion. This is the first thing I have done, but wifi and mobile data sleeps automatically. I have tried stock roms from different devices like saadusmani's ROM and your ROM but nothing improved in wifi and mobile data connection. I should claim warranty.
But before that I need to unroot the phone and change the stock splash screen (screen before boot animation). Do you know how to change the splash screen to stock Qmobile screen?

Restore to stock firmware by downloading it from www.ehtisham.com or www.labandroid.com

[Q] Download Booster For All Files / Torrents / Specific Apps Possible?

So we have the download booster working as intended here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785420
Where are the files located that make this feature work?
And once there, could it be as simple as changing a value such as "download size" from 30mb to say 1kb to force all downloads to go through the booster? And or could specific apps be selected to always use download booster?
I have a dream of downloading things very very fast.
Any input is appreciated.

I'd also like to know if we can tweak this.
Currently it seems like only HTTP and HTTPS services are open to the download booster. We need to open up FTP and and torrents for this to be very beneficial.

NUBIA RECOVERY TOOL
so my understanding is this tool is for restoring stock firmware on devices, unfortunately the Z11 is not on the list so it will not automatically download it for you so you will need to manually obtain the stock firmware and can either then flash through this tool or just flash it in stock recovery on the device
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2...EZBNGF3U1VIQWs - Nubia Recovery Tool
STOCK ROMS
These are flashable via recovery tool above or in settings > system update > local update. OR via stock recovery OR TWRP
NOTE: PLEASE UNROOT BEFORE UPDATING,
These are also FULL STOCK ROMS, so you can wipe system + data and reflash any of these to go back to clean stock
There are sourced directly from nubia website and are unmodified in anyway by myself

Smart Select Edge from S8?

hi guys i wonder if anyone has or know a way to install the smart select edge panel from S8 to the S7 edge?

I've read somewhere on xda that you'll also need to download the new AOD along with smart select apk, but personally I didn't have that issue nor do I understand why one would need the other to work...
But I downloaded the apk from apkmirrior, installed, then swiped open the edge panel tab, click the tiny settings gear once panel is open so you can enable/disable /download other edge tabs, and enabled smart select for one of your edge tabs. Viola
Sorry i tried to upload screenshots but xda network error...

I'm actually starting to run into the same issue with package conflict on certain apps trying to install from unknown sources.. I know that the options others have tried don't work.. As far as smart select goes, have you tried downloading the apk from XDA? Some are having success that way..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...galaxy-s7-edge-sm-g935f-t3584881/post71741190
Also there are many people having success with installing apks that run into package conflict, and it has to do with putting a shortcut of the apk on homescreen, turning off all security sign in features for lock screen so you can access your apk shortcut as fast as possible.. Then reboot your phone and as soon as you can, try to install the shortcut.. Also make sure to enable installation from unknown sources before reboot.
I haven't been able to get that to work for my conflicts, but lots of people have..
EDIT: I recently did an update from Verizon for the April security patch and whatever the bloatware they added and that's when I started running into conflicting packages

There are so many mixed reports that say worked for their package conflicts, but the only way that continually is working is doing a backup and factory reset, then download and install the previous package conflicticted apks before going back through and backing up old apps/data.
I know it's a pain to do all that, and that's why I haven't gone through with doing a factory reset yet but I'm getting to that point if someone doesn't find out a solution soon..

I just tried to get smart select working .
So I installed the smart select apk, it installed successfully without any errors and it did show up as one of the default panel just like it should.
But when trying to use any of the smart select features on the panel my phone freezes for about 20 seconds.
The only option in smart select that works for me is "pin to top".
I am using a S7 edge rom, not a ported s8 rom.
Any suggestions?

Have you downloaded the latest optical Reader app from Samsung? I just came across this article that states you need the optical reader to make it work properly?

I tried all methods. None of them works

I'm our of options myself, I'm also in a position where I'm getting package conflicts but thankfully have been able to get some before I did my last update from Verizon, which is when I started getting package conflicts.. I wish you luck though and hopefully we can come up with something

Just wanted to quickly say that the apk from this link (found above):

works.
Using a non-rooted tmo S7E
Rectangle and Circle screenshot can be fixed by installing S8's AOD

I get conflicts with that apk too. But i appreciate your sharing.

I received the same conflict. But I tried the following: create a new folder in root system/app , rename the new folder 'SmartClipEdgeService'. Then download the apk from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/smart-select-2/smart-select-2-1-0-42-release/smart-select-1-0-42-android-apk-download/ , rename it 'SmartClipEdgeService.apk' and put it in the folder. Restart the device and you should be able to select it in the edge panel.
Unfortunately, I can't use the rectangle or oval either, the app just crashes when I try. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be much appreciated!
I'm on G935F btw.

Update: Could get the rectangle and oval to work by downloading S8's AOD apk and replacing it in the root system/priv-app/AODService_v20 folder (also renaming the apk as 'AODService_v20.apk') BUT I lose AOD and I keep getting an error message saying AOD keeps stopping when I restart the phone as well as when I try to use the smart select features. The smart select hangs for abit but will work eventually.

Working on my end without freezing.

I have figured out a way to get the Smart Select Edge fully functional on the S7 Edge after some trial and error. You will need root. (I don't know if all the steps are necessary but that's just what I did.)
1. Create a new folder in root system/app , rename the new folder 'SmartClipEdgeService'. Then download the apk here , rename it 'SmartClipEdgeService.apk' and put it in the folder.
2. Download S8's AOD apk here and replace it in the root system/priv-app/AODService_v20 folder (also renaming the apk 'AODService_v20.apk'). Backup the original apk just in case,
3. Set the AOD apk permission to 0755 (rwx-rx-rx), folder permission should be the same.
4. Clear AOD cache and data (if you can't find it in applications, use titanium backup to 'open system details' and clear data, also use it to 'clear cache'.
5. Restart and it should work! You will have both AOD and the smart select edge fully working, just go to settings on the edge panel and select 'smart select' as one of your panels.
When the new AOD is installed it will have a 'learn how to use aod' notification on the AOD screen that you might not be able to get rid off. Just tap next very close to the bottom of you screen if it doesn't register.

Media Pad M3 8' add Google Services (install Core GSM Core Package) - solved

There are bits and pieces of this all over XDA (and the web) so I thought I'd just put it here to make it easier.
I purchased a Chinese Huawei Media Pad M3 8' WiFi tablet in March 2018 with the following details.
Model: CPN-W09
Build: CPN-W09C233B066 , CPN-W09C233B067 (updated 8 Apr 2017 with no negative effects)
EMUI 5.1
Android 7.0
Kernel: 3.18.31-gee0501b​
I wanted to get google services on this device. This is what finally worked for me.
Startup the tablet. Select USA English, skip Huawei registration and Wifi. Skip cloud services, enable pin, enable fingerprint ID. Get to home screen.
Connect to computer, enable file transfer and drop GSM the gsminstaller apk into your download folder. Install the gsminstaller and after the installer is installed, open it and press the 'one touch installation button'. After that, I installed Google Play service 12.5.20 and Google Play store 9.3.14 both of which I downloaded from apkmirror.com.
I was able to log into my google account and everything seems to be working fine. I even reset the tablet to factory specs to make sure I had the right steps and it looks like the GSM core stayed installed.
Note I got the link to the gsmcore (gsminstaller.apk) from this thread. so thanks.
Also, as I researched this, I stumbled across a couple of other tidbits that I thought I'd put here.
There are some hidden menus you can reach by putting the calculator in landscape mode (so you can see the '(' ')' characters.) and keying in the following combinations.
To get the Product ID enter: ()()1357946()()=
To get the Project Manager (install firmware from SD card, reset etc) aka Manufacture Mode enter: ()()2846579()() =​
Hope this helps someone else.

Use the Files app to find the APK where you put it on the tablet, double click it and install the APK (app). After it is installed , you'll see the icon in your apps. Click that and then you will see the one-touch install button.
Report back here if it works so other people can find the info for your tablet.

I have the same problem, it just doesn't allow you to install the APK (App may damage your device, Installation forbidden.) and there is no option to turn off checking apks

To skip the Hicare check, you just need to disconnect from the internet before you double click on the APK. Then you should be able to install the GSMinstaller.

When I switched off and on the external sources/third party app radio buttons, there was an option to "Enable external sources app to scan..." that was enabled by default. I disabled that tick box and it never checked any APK's again.
Hope this works for you.

I follow the steps, and got the play store installed,but when I went to install a few games, it said it couldn't install them. It also said the google play services wouldn't work unless it was updated, but when I went to update it, it didn't say there was an update. A few things installed,like Nova launcher. The games I tried to install, I was able to install them last time without a problem (don't remember what I did then to get Google play to work). Today I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it,and it obviously erased everything. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have the WiFi only model.

It worked for my MEDIAPAD M3, I had to factory reset it, and skip all the set up options. do not add any password or wifi to it. just skip it all, then run the GMS installer., and also install the google play store , framework and play services.
then, you can add your wifi password.
