Shark Cooler app won't install on Joy UI 11? - Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a Cooling Case(BR08) for my Black Shark 2 Pro(DLT-H0), however after I downloaded the apk using the QR code from the back of the box the app is simply cannot be installed. :/ It just saying that "App not installed." Anyone ran into this issue? I can't even turn on the cooling case without the app. :/ I can pair the device through bluetooth however but I can't find any cooling case related thing in shark space either. I just noticed however that we needed Shark Arsenal app to get the FunCooler pro working, well at least to modify it's speed and the RGB leds. However that app is now integrated into Shark Space itself so FunCooler Pro is working without anything now on Black Shark devices, did we hear anything regarding the Cooling Case though? Since as I said I can't find anything relating to it in Shark Space app I'm guessin the controlling is still going through the Shark Coooler 1.2.1 app. Which cannot be installed on the latest Joy UI so, are we f*cked? To be honest I didn't even find any other downloading sites to get the apk besides their link which is http://toolbox.blackshark.com/download
So what are your thoughts? :/ I contacted Black Shark support about this though. Their 2 and 2 Pro is only 1 year old device, still they don't update their app to the latest Joy UI? It's kinda disappointing.
Thanks in advance!

Hi. I did find a solution for the problem. Don't use the app they are providing on QR code. Also, DO NOT manually pair the shark cooler within the phone's bluetooth settings. Just keep them unpaired. Turn on the shark cooler while it's on the phone. Start the BT on the phone then start the Shark Space app. It should automatically detect, if not then go into Shark Arsenal -> SharkCooler press Connect, and it should list the Shark Cooler. After that pairing it'll work as it should. They implemented the whole Shark Cooler app into the Shark Space with the 3.0 release. Let me knot if this worked out for you too.

[Updated] Dungeon Defenders

How many of you have problems with the game?
It hangs when I start a new game
It actually loads until the part where the character appears on screen and when it loads all the navigational pad and buttons, it hangs
I thought this was updated for SGS2 already?

Yeah...No.
Lemme explain:
The app was updated to work with the GS2,but at first it didn't work properly(Or in my case didn't work at all,like it does for you.Unless you believe that it works like what you describe).It closed just after selecting my character,like when I ran it with CF3D.
Sometime yesterday though a second update was released,that clearly stated that Galaxy S II users should completely uninstall and then reinstall to update.After that ,it does work.It's still buggy though,it lags and it closes randomly sometimes,But hey,it's a first step in the right direction!
When it hangs the music is still playing in the background
Interestingly, the main menu, at the bottom right corner, the version is still 5.0
I already downloaded the 5.3.1 version...

That reminds me of when I tried to play the game on my DHD with the nVidia plugin(didn't know that a Qualcomm version was available,I thought it was Tegra-only).It hanged when first showing the level,music played,but all I could see was a door.Nothing would move.
So,try uninstalling,deleting the files from /sdcard/Adroid/data/com.trendy.ddapp.xxx(don't remember exactly the name) if they aren't automatically deleted,and then reinstall anew from market.Hope that fixes it.
Doesn't work... I uninstall via "Manage Applications" and the folder in sdcard\android\data\com.trendyXXXXXXXX was already removed
Redownloaded via market, wifi-ed the additional files again, also same situation
I don't understand it, if I can play Samurai II, why can't this work.... got CF3D running on nvidia plugin too!

That's the problem!You shouldn't be using the NVidia plugin!The game works with no plugin now.Tegra version has problems for other handsets.
It does work, though your might need to uninstall the app first.
It runs perfect on mine. no shutdowns whatsoever.
Except that after a few waves, the round move cursor gets extremely hot. (near the front face camera).

Good man! Not using plugins solved the problem!
I can confirm the insane heat at the camera area
Freakin hawt!
Yeah. It would have been hotter if not for the heat sink in the phone.
It's a but unnerving pushing intense graphics on the phone though.

This game is poorly optimized. It runs like crap on any phone, even Tegra 2 phones.

[TWEAK] Status Bar Tweak for Game Compatibility

This was made for CM7 A3.5, not sure if it'll work right on other builds.
What this does specifically:
1) It makes the status bar 168 in height.
2) It adds 133 padding to the top of the status bar to align the status bar contents back to the bottom.
What it achieves:
1) 16:9 App Space, if a game was designed to compensate via stretch, scale, etc..., for the status bar. A lot of games do.
2) It makes quite a number of games made specifically for 16:9 tablets have better or functional touch UI's so you can actually play them. Dungen Hunter 2 for example will require this. Majesty: Fantasy Kingdom works better with this. Exitium: Saviors of Vardonia needs this to have a fully functional UI in all menu's etc...
Downside:
1) You will have a huge chunk of black space on your status bar. Maybe someone more bord can go elaborate and write a toggle button for this or something. I'm not there yet. Lmao. & I've gotten used to it, so it's not that ugly anymore. I rather have functionality over pretty until ICS comes out.
Instructions:
Back up your
/system/framework/framework.apk
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
copy provided framework.apk to /system
copy provided SystemUI.apk to /system
change permissions of provided framework.apk to RW-R--R--
change permissions of provided SystemUI.apk to RW-R--R--
move provided framework.apk to /system/framework and overwrite
move provided SystemUI.apk to /system/app and overwrite
dungeon hunter 2 and exitium are the best example of what this tweak makes work.
for dungeon hunter 2: the graphics and touch control graphics are aligned to the bottom of the screen while their respective touch location on the screen is aligned to the top. the offset between touch location and graphic makes the game unplayable.
for exitium: the menus and stuff overlaps, you can't even access your cash account online to grab your free coins for buying the game. a lot of menus are overlapped, armor screens are overlapped, etc... because the aspect ratio the GUI was designed for is 16:9.
Game List that this tweak helps on (more 2 come):
Dungeon Hunter 2 Samsung GP1000 version + must have ChainFire3D and Reduce Texture to 16bit.
Exitium: Saviors of Vardonia
Asphalt 5 Samsung GP1000 version
could you post a screenshot?
I'm assuming this wouldn't work on the MIUI ROM.
But you did answer my question about why I couldn't get Dungeon Hunter 2 or Sacred Odyssey working.

well, you need ChainFire3D to get some of the gameloft games working.
toggle 16bit textures on. & try the Nvidia and THD plugins.
this is in addition to ChainFire3D. like Dungeon Hunter 2 was unplayable even when working due to the touch positions being displaced from the visual UI. this helps the put the visual UI @ their touch positions.
also, after you purchase the game from gameloft, you'll have to search the net for the Samsung Galaxy P1000 Tablet apk of the game. there's a thread at rootzwiki on game compatibility that gives a lot of info on how to get some of these games working.

Sorry. The game loads and you can log in if you actually signed up and the screen is just black and you can hear music. I also went into settings and disabled the status bar when an app wants full screen and this did not fix the game from staying just black and having music.

Interesting. Maybe I will clean install or something. I tried using chainfire but I am not sure if I am installing the plugins properly. Nothing seems to happen when I try to enable a plugin. Do I need pro?

Whoa, I tried reinstalling without doing anything different and I am stuck on a "Loading" screen. I've been on it for about 10 minutes. About how long did it take you to get past this screen?
Yeah, the game is stuck on the Loading screen. It should be saying "Downloading content" or something like that. Bummer. Not sure what is going on.

ok, googled the issue, and read complaints about not being able to connect & apparently the game makers of this game are retarded; this game has an issue, not device specific, where people can't connect to the content servers. & are SOL because the game developer is completely ignoring the issue. some people complained about un-install, then re-install, and bricked the game. so I tried that, and bam! stuck at loading screen like you. lmao! i guess try to make a new account and see if that'll let you in. the first time i tried it was with a new acct. obviously it's a server or major development problem if you can get in with new accounts but can't get in with an already active one.
add: no luck with new account either. maybe it's just random luck to get into the content download server? lmao. sry, i didn't think ahead and titanium back my app data for you & me before i un-installed and re-installed. lol. i guess if someone out there could provide titanium back up data on this apps external data we could just restore that and avoid having to connect to download it.

Trouble installing 3rd party apps.

I'm trying to install some of the Humble Indie Bundle 6 games on my N4 and I'm running into a problem I've never faced before. The APK files download just fine, but when it comes to actually opening them to start the installation, it won't install. The button that says "install" does nothing when I press it. I checked in my security settings and "unknown sources" are allowed. I included screenshots of both these in the attached files. I even tried un-selecting the "verify apps" option, in case the humble bundle app had been removed from their white list for some reason, it still won't install.
I thought it might be a bug with the Humble Bundle beta app so I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, but it too is getting stuck on the installation. It downloads just fine but it won't install. I've tried rebooting my phone, still no luck. I'm on the latest Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Has anyone else been getting this problem, or does anyone have any idea on how I could fix it? I didn't pay much for the games but it sort of sucks to have bought them and be unable to play any of them like this.
I'd like to try with some more third party apps to see if it's all of them, or if it's just the Humble Bundle APKs that are causing me trouble (if it's the later I can probably contact Humble Bundle and ask them for assistance), but I'm not familiar with those. Could someone please recommend some good safe ones I can test out?
My humble bundle beta installed fine. So at least you know the app should work. Sorry can't help you more. Hopefully someone else has a solution. Silly question... have you tried rebooting?

Any app that requires permission to draw over other apps can potentially cause what you're experiencing. Examples include but are not limited to:
- the HALO feature in PA ROMs
- Screen filter apps
- Other floating apps

Could any of that happen if I haven't rooted?
Also,
I've just tried to reinstall TubeMate, another third party app I like. It's APK also refuses to install, which probably means there's a problem with my phone and not just the Humble Bundle app. I'm starting to think I'll have to factory reset the phone, which is certainly do-able, just... not very fun.

Yes, this can happen without root access. I've seen your problem addressed several times in multiple forums and ALL of them is because of a floating app.
Look through your app list. Is there ANY app that, as a feature, floats on top of other apps?
Eg, Facebook Messenger, Screen Filter, Floating Stickies, AirCalc, etc
Just force stop them and you should be able to sideload apk's again.

The phone says 1.68 GB are free, but when I plug it into my desktop it tells me 1.57 GBs. So... somewhere between those two.
EDIT:
Found it... It was the Twilight app (no, not THAT Twilight... lol), it's an app that tints the whole screen a slight redish color so it doesn't hurt my eyes too much when I use the phone in the evening. That must count as a "floating". The moment I disabled that I was able to successfully install the APK. YOU SIR, ohyearar, have won a thanks.

I installed it yesterday to give it a go. Really nice clean interface, im liking it a lot.
Some benefits.
Simple interface, clean...Shows speed and time and shortcuts to some apps (I only use music, digital radio and spotify so this is perfect for me)
Installs as an App and you can start it from shortcut, once happy you can have it start automatically on boot as your default launcher.
Has in built screen dimming which works (All other auto dimmers have never worked for me)
3 different launcher themes, im using the one in the photo.
Easy to remove if not happy

Yes all hard buttons function the same, Back exits apps and Home takes you back to desktop.
Really its just a choice of 3 new launchers in an App rather than playing around with system files
This looks really clean!
I gave it a shot on mine. Looks really nice. I wish the app buttons were a bit larger though. Looks much more like a OEM type interface.

Ye thats what i thought, looks similar to WinCE radio launchers
One thing i found to be a pain was that android by default, launches apps you had previously running (Which includes this Launcher)
So its already loaded when your device boots up, but as you open up your music, the Self boot of the app kicks in as well and you go back to desktop.
Im sure easy to get over somehow
So you have it set to autoplay off usb? Mine was playing the music as soon as it booted. If you disable the autoplay it doesn't launch the music app on startup.
I have it and love it! Originally downloaded it because it uses power amp as the default music player, I downloaded pro because with pro I can make it as my default home screen launcher. I've been very pleased with the results so far. And I've been running its for about a month.

I'm a bit confused by this app. Can someone help please? I bought a car with AndroidAuto built in and I made the assumption (probably wrongly) that this is a replacement launcher for my car dash. But - I'm not sure how to get it to mirror into my vehicle. Do I need AA installed, or do I use Mirror Link? Confused!
Hard Buttons
How did you connect the head unit to your hard button controls?
How to add activity shortcuts to Car Launcher app?
How to deactivate speed in statusbar?
I used the Trial for about 5 minutes before I purchased the full version. This is exactly what I needed Now, Unfortunately im going to have to purchase poweramp i think
Using it for a few weeks now. Very happy with it.

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)

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.
not working

I tried this but same issue, this time after i downloaded many of my apps and restart phone. Then play store wont open. . I did just as u described.
I use APKUpdater (github.com/rumboalla/apkupdater) in place of gplay. Pretty happy I don't have to install any of g's bloatware
thanks for the tip

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

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

@awayu,
Thanks for your help.
To upload, try the paper-clip icon. I am attaching a picture.
Best regards,
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:
