Installing tablet app on mi A1 (tissot) - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

I have a rooted Xiaomi mi a1 tissot running Android 8.1.0 and I want to install the CSIRO soilmapp app from google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.csiro.soilmapp&hl=en_US
It says it's not compatible with any of my devices. I assume it wants to run only on tablets. I do not own a tablet.
I have the prod build editor but I'm unsure exactly which lines I should change and what I should set them to. If Xiaomi has a similar tablet product I could try that or perhaps the settings for a galaxy tab of some sort.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

just download the apk from here (https://apkpure.com/in/soilmapp/au.csiro.soilmapp) or other sources, and try to install directly at your phone.
No need to change anything

[Q] an American trying to use google apps on a chinese Xiaomi Redmi Note 4g

hello!
I recently bought a Redmi Note 4g and I'm trying to set it up so it's actually useful to me. I've tried downloading the apk for google play app store, doesn't work. I think it might be because I'm using a Chinese ROM, but I have so far failed to replace my current ROM with a Global version, and I'm not sure why.
model number HM NOTE 1LTE
Android Version 4.4.4 KTU84P
MIUI version 6.4.1.0 (KHICNCB) Stable
is the global ROM sufficient? if so, how do I install it? I have attempted this, but I'm not very knowledgeable, and have so far failed to understand the directions provided.
do I need a custom ROM?
all I really need is the ability to use google apps, I think. please help!

1- flash custom recovery ie cwm, twrp etc.
2- boot into the custom recovery and flash gapps.
3- profit.

thank you for your timely response, however, "I'm not very knowledgeable, and have so far failed to understand the directions provided." I only sort of vaguely understand your instructions, and I'm not sure how to proceed from here. can you be more specific? thanks again

The Playstore app requires google services framwork installed as a system app, for that you need root access and/or a custom recovery

I think you are using chinese version, you need to update version by installing global version.
you can download the ROm , en miui forum
, save file in the root of memory internal, boot into recovery and choose update
Provided you have developer edition ROM (which comes pre-rooted) I had the same issue. Just search the Web for "Google installer for Xiaomi and you'll find an apk which will let you install Google Play and subsequently all the Google Apps.

Mi Remote not working on Xiaomi.EU

I've noted that since the first time I flahsed Xiaomi.EU rom in my 3S, Mi Remote app stopped working with my tv and air conditioner.
The app runs without problems, I can add new devices and search them by brand, but when I prss the blue button "to test" the IR codes, no code works.
On stable MIUI or a custom ROM like RR/LOS the app works without problems. I'm in the latest weekly release (based on china beta 7.6.8)
Is anyone else having this problem? If so, has anyone solved it? Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: I did the following to make Mi Remote App work:
Root the ROM, using the latest SuperSU zip
Remove the Mi Remote apk from system partition, or install some uninstaller from the Play Store and uninstall Mi Remote App
Reboot
Install Mi Remote from Play Store, or download the APK and install it.
Now it's working without problems, with the downside of having to root to make this possible. It was possible to delete the apk from TWRP to avoid rooting, but didn't try that.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
Thank you. I had the same problem in Mi Globe ROM(Which is based on Xiaomi.EU). Your solution helped.

[Root]Fix/Enable Miracast/Cast issue in LineageOS 14.1 or LoS based ROMs

So I searched for These and found a app named Miracast enabler. Thanks To @r3pwn
Though the app is not the only thing that will enable miracast there are some other things to do....
**A rooted Phone must required for this. And LineageOS or LOS based ROM.
So...
Here are the steps.....
1) First add the line in your build.prop and restart ur device.
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
2)Now download the Apk and install
Link -- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qIaDJmdbIJKvJEw-MZmhhvkoTpPdQ9-5/view?usp=drivesdk
Then open the app and give root permission then click on install. Give storage permission if it ask.
2) Now download Mirror enabler from this thread
Thread Link -- https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-tv/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
Direct download link from thread --- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001616583
Open It and give root permission
Then u will see 3 options Disabled
Enable Them one by one! Then restart your phone! ( If The app crashes Try yo enable 2nd option first then reboot then Enable other 2 options.Then reboot)
After that goto Settings >Display> Cast then click on option(3 dot in the top). Then mark "Enable Wireless Display".
Now u will be able to cast ur device screen on any wireless display!
*****This tricks is tested on Redmi 3 with Lineage14.1+Opengapps nano.

MirrorEnabler is Incompatible with my device
I'm currently running Lineage 16 on an A7 2017
I've done the first few steps, but the MirrorEnabler says its incompatible with my device and I'm lacking audio_submix file and I should contact my provider, what does this mean? And can it be fixed??
Is it compatible with ZTE Blade V7 Lite phone(Android 6 version) that has no built in screen mirroring function at all?? ?

I doubt it, except if you are running a LOS 14 (based) ROM. But try it out and report: Make a backup in TWRP, install the apks as explained in the OP and try it out. If it works, great, if it doesn't just restore the backup from TWRP and tell us in this thread if it did(n't) work.

same here. lacking audio_submix file.
I didn't get any help!
Hey I think this project is dead, so probably we won't get any response from the developers. Also I left Lineage Os for crDroid, and I am a lot happier with crDroid mainly because ScreenMirrowing is work, Hotspot, ECT. Sound works absolutely fine, you can fix some call cracks by turning off (Google's) Microphone! Here's a link , check it out and a lot of what's working in crDroid compared to Lineage Os whether 14.1/15.0 or 16.

Yoga Smart Tab

Hello,
So I got a Lenovo Smart Tab (yt-x703f) and really want to flash TWRP to it, so I can flash LineageOS rom, but it seems like there's no support for it, or even a subthread on XDA.
(I tried various twrp images)
Anyone got some experience with that tablet and have something working?
Cheers
For some reason this device gets the silent treatment on all fora. I can't figure out why, this could be a great multimedia device with some adjustments. batt life is great as is the sound. Screen is ok ish and the speed needs to be tweaked, but no one is willing to tweak
You can root the device and even flash a GSI on it. Tested myself and everything is working
Yoga Smart Tab - Iron Grey​Part Number: ZA3V0005US
Not sure if we are talking about the same device but lenovo does not support their mid tier devices with OS updates and would like to install a bloatless OS also pie is really dated and wondering if i will run in to issues with app compatibility. There is also that issue where it won't run HD in netflix because netflix is a static app and can not be removed and reinstalled. Hence bloatware and would love a clean google experience.

Flashing a GSI might help if the device supports Project Treble. Basically any device launched with Android 8 and above should support Project Treble.
Hi, I have a Lenovo Yoga smart tab (YT-X705L) and I want to install a new rom on it. I’m not an IT wizard so I need help with that. Would you find anyone who can give step-by-step instructions from start to finish with download links.
And if you can find experiences on how anything works (which is GSI). Thanks in advance.
