How can i install Line App. on e ink screen of Yota3?

Just bought Yota3 from ebay but it isn't working the way i thought it is. I thought it was going to work just like Yota2. Now i can't install any apps on to eink screen.

i don't think mirroring feature is in yota 3

bad news.
I expected the way of working like Yotaphone 2

Could you please tell me exactly how mirroring works on Yota3? On yotaphone 2 I can use epd just like color. How about yota3?

I am a Chinese Yota3 user.
Yota brand was bought by a Chinese company, which turned out to be a disaster. You need some tricks to make yota3 easy to use.
There is still mirror mode, but need some effort to turn on.
Download a app named More shortcuts, long press at desktop to open widgets, add more shortcuts.
Choose Activity - Factory test - Mirror activity.
Then there will be a shortcuts added for mirror mode.
In this mode, only Back Button can be used. You may need a gusture app to help. (Like assistive Touch in iphone）
Or You can use Direct app mode (newly introduced in yotaphone3) to launch an app on eink. (talk later)
（btw, how can I post a screenshot here)

As a new user of Yota3, I'm really interested by the "Direct app mode" and the shortcuts... I missed these function. Yotaphone 2 with the mirror mode was much more easy to use

In OTA updates after Feb. there are several app shortcuts added to Discover page on EDP which can help to launch them on EDP if already installed in color screen. This is called Direct app mode. But you cannot customize the app shortcuts on Discover page (stupid).
The shortcuts launch by package name.
Here is how we go. Change any launcher's (or any other app you'd like) package name to any of the shortcuts on Dicover page. Install to color screen. Launch it on eink Discover page.
I have a modified eink launcher at hand. But dont know how to upload.
* ATTENTION If you OTA update to Dec version or later (included Feb version) battery usage will increase a lot. And newly added apps/functions are mostly for Chinese user. You can only send back to factory in China if you wanna go back to ealier version. COZ no root yet.

Thanks for your answer. For now, I didn't updated the phone, it's still on Y3SCN06A1000MPX1712021 Rom.
You can send attachments with your posts (if the app is not too big) with the "clip" icon , near the smiley icon, when writing a message.
Another question: do you know how if the latest firmware upgrade add some changes to the screen timeout time? With my firmware, I can only set maximum 30 min: when I choose "Screen always on"" (Settings-Display- Sleep-"Screen always On"), it doesn't work. This may help when using Mirror mode, otherwise after 30 minutes, it will quit this mode if you don't touch the screen (I use the mirror mode with GPS app).

I tried the method suggested by awayu using Activity Launcher app, but couldn't quite get it to work.
But I went to Baidu in a hope to find more info on this on Chinese forums and found this one:
tieba.baidu.com/p/5587584209
It offers to download and install apk that impersonates Hinhua News (新华社 - top leftmost on Discovery screen) and provides up app launcher on e-ink screen instead.
So I've bitten the bullet and installed this apk and seems to be working.
In a way this is even better solution as it gives you menu of apps to launch, but at the cost of installing random apk. It was a bit re-assuring that it doesn't seem to require any permissions.
I'm not affiliated with the author of the post at baidu, use at your own risk!

Alternative way of mirror mode
Specially thanks to awayu who sent me this modified E-ink launcher app which really works. Under the command of this launcher users can have good control of the apps on the front screen when using EPD. For instance I can even turn on mobile network under the reading mode (long press the power bottom to switch) so I can have access to any phone calls when reading. After installing this app I am pretty much happy about Yota 3 now.

English google play stops working
It just can't be opened. I reset several times but same issue. What to do ???

Try to avoid using the preinstalled "AppStore"
Perform factory reset to get back to the "clean state". Disable the preinstalled AppStore (or freeze it) to prevent it from installing any untrusted apps by Chinese developers. Instead using the (preinstalled) browser to find the necessary apk(s) to install google frameworks. Remember not to install any untrusted apps and from then on you should be fine.

However I cannot install new apk without reset phone. Perhaps this is connected with Google play error ??

That E-ink launcher app makes mirror mode looks like yotaphone2? I have been thinking between Hisense a2 pro and yotaphone3 for several months.

Yotahub search on Yotaphone 3
Now I realize I am a bit fan of Yotaphone 2 and not of Yotaphone 3( after the recent purchase of it).
I like Yotaphone 3 e-ink display to be the same (visually) as Yotaphone 2. is it achievable? Want to put e-ink apps and widget as Yotaphone 2 does.
My question is, is there a way to achieve it? Any help. :fingers-crossed:

Tweak your Firestick/FireTV [Disable services / Debloat / Speed up]

Hey guys,
I have a 2nd gen firestick and i've noticed it does get quite hot and occasionally reboots.
To mitigate this, I have done the following:
Stop/disable all unused features (App store settings / Privacy settings etc)
Used clean master lite to remove temp files, clear cache
Used a small drill to add ventilation to the device!
You can see a step by step guide here
Since doing the above, my device definitely is cooler and seems to run smoother.
Let me know how you find it.
thanks!

Tried to install cmlite on my firestick but its UI not compatible.
Any other junk cleaners wud u recommend?

did you install Set orientation too?
You need to do that and set it to force the apps to run in landscape.
Do that first and then launch cmlite

Thanks for the suggestion. Wil try once again. But meanwhile i installed sdmaid to clean junk.
Can you provide link for set orientation apk
Thank you

all the links are mentioned in the video guide

All you need to know already is in this guide.

I personally had an overheating Fire Stick 2 and did all of this. I got a replacement (that I didnt debloat just changed launcher, etc) and it barely even gets hot. Ill bet something is being removed software-wise that shouldn't be.

If you have a heat problem, you must not uninstall or disable com.amazon.imp!
com.amazon.imp is active -> CPU load ~20
com.amazon.imp is disabled or removed -> CPU load ~70%
What works is to hide the package (pm hide com.amazon.imp)

Looking to run the app in the background?

Hello Members,
I was looking to run one of the apps in the background as it's work related . However, on the flip-side Android is building the operating system in such a way that it kills the apps for more battery life and/or best performance.
In order to fix it I have changed the following setting on OnePlus 6T which has worked like a charm.
Settings --> System --> Recent App Management --> Normal Clear (by default it is Deep Clear) - Change it to Normal Clear.
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers!

Actually default is normal clear.

Thanks polzovotel. However, for me it was Deep Clear

By me it was also normal clear. And it is not working.
I wanna have termux running in the background always, but it gets killed.
I disabled battery optimization for the termux app, I turned off adaptive battery. It still gets killed automatically.
Within termux there is termux-wakelock setting but it is not working on the 6t.
Tried with a Samsung phone and it works perfectly.

Good Lock - Make it work even if you don't have it in Galaxy Store!

I found a way to make Good Lock work even if you don't have it in your region.
Take out your sim card, connect to wifi and use a VPN (I used ExpressVPN - Los Angeles 3 - I used this because it works with Netflix maybe this matters)
Goto Settings -> Apps -> Galaxy Store -> Force Stop -> Storage - > Clear Cache and Clear Data
Now open the App you will get US Store Good Lock is there and will activate and work.
Hope this helps.

not working

I use the trick that an italian girl (Michelalastrega) explained to me.
1-download all the apk from, for example, apk mirror.
2-install them
3-install an app to create shortcut like quickshortcut maker
4-reboot the phone
5-create every shortcut you want
In these way I have all the function of good lock 2019 on my s10 plus.

At the end good lock is like a box with inside many apps.
I use the apps and I don't need the box.
I can use all the last version of QuickStar, Lock Star, Nav Star, Clock Face, Multistar, Nice Catch, Task changer, On hand operation+, Edge lighting+, edge touch, sound assistant, and I'm happy with this trick

someone recording camera on my phone

Hello guys,
Someone is using my phone to record what happening on cam
Could someone please help me on how to disable this ? Each time i connect to my wifi this icon near hours show up and start blinking, any one have an idea ?
Thanks guys

Depending on what version of Android you have, you could go through permissions to see which apps allow camera use while app is running. Use the Permissions manager to do this.
Turn them off any suspect apps. If that doesn't do it, turn them off in batches until you narrow it down.

You could also turn off all sensors.

A good starting point: Disable for all applications that you side-loaded ... meaning, any apps that you didn't install from the Google Play store.

I did a clean install, everthing was erased (with odin samsung phone), untill now all god, but each time i connect to my wifi the small icon start recording...
Any idea guys ?

That symbol is samsungs screen recorder
