Hi everyone,
Just got my new gt2 pro, from giztop.
I saw that it didn't come already set up and i decided to reset to factory default, now i don't have google apps (i thought there is a risk of that happening).
what is the best way to install google apps on this phone?
I also haven't played with custom roms in years, but maybe it's not a bad option....what rom is recommended and what are the advantageous/disadvantageous of going this route?
thanks!

wrong forum i guess....heheh

Hey all, I've come here to ask these basic questions...since this is the place where gurus come.
I'm currently in possession of an a500 running stock 3.2 however I can not update it or even use the google play store to download apps as the a500 is no long supported. Are there any work arounds to get the play store to work on a stock rom (and how could I update it to ICS)? I think it's pretty ****ed up that by dropping support for it you can no longer download a thing from it.
I say this because the owner of this tablet is not at all good with technology and would greatly appreciate the vanilla experience of android compared to a custom rom.
And I'm not all that familiar with how the play store operates on custom roms so my next questions are:
1. If a custom rom was to be used which is the most stable?
2. If using a custom rom will the play store become usable again?
Thank you all!

Play store, as far as I know should work fine on a stock install. It has worked for me in every single ROM I have ever used, including stock roms.
Since you got it used - the prior owner may have screwed something up. Done a factory reset yet?
Google play store has always worked on all my ROM's, sounds like something else is wrong.
Probably best to make a nandroid backup and change or reinstall a Custom ROM after the correct WIPE method of that ROM.
Google play store will automatically update to newest version 3.10.10 or you could download a newer version, but i'm sure that will not fix ur problem...
Best to restart with a ROM u know is new to your tablet...This will be easier to troubleshoot in future
and before your install ROM, wipe everything (except External SDCARD)
at this point all will be fresh and only problems will be with ROM (unless you have hardware isues), but you won't know until you change ROM
I recomend TWRP Recovery 2.3.3.1, not CWM

The play store works fine, you have something borked on your tablet.
Sounds like you prefer to return to Acer stock Rom. If so, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560 and dowload the 3.01 EUU for the A500, (not for the A501), flash it in APX mode, go to Play store, update (like, at least 4 times) and you will be on stock Acer ICS 4.03.
Your welcome (for clicking thanks!)
Hey there, new to the community and the rooting world, please excuse my lack of vocabulary.
I was wondering if it's possible to have some of the stock apps while using CyanogenMod. Like keeping the split screen, S Memo, S Planner and such. I was thinking if I flashed into my backup of the stock ROM, back up the .apks of said apps, flash back to CyanogenMod and install them, would that work? It'd be a bit of a hassle, so if anyone knows a faster method, or if there's already someone who has something similar done.
Thanks in advance.
Hello.
After being 2 years with a Galaxy Nexus, I have bought a LG G2 D802 32GB.
Well, I've managed to hard brick the device with only 2 days of use but got it back through warranty. But ever since I've been somewhat scared and doubtful of what I can and cannot do with this device.
I installed stock Lollipop via LG PC Suite (5.0.2 v30b), got it rooted and then installed TWRP via autorec. But I want to be able to flash rom and kernel among other things like I did with my good old Nexus and never got any major problem.
As of now, the performance on stock LG Lollipop is good, but everything is so bloated and I can't live with only 24 GB of storage. I also heard that there is a camera mod that allows the G2 to take slow-motion video and 4K photos so I would like to try that out.
Well, I've been searching here but everything is so confusing that I decided to only step into things when I understand everything about them and there's no risk of bricking the phone again. The Galaxy Nexus subforum is easier to get the hang of because there is only 3 versions of the phone (GSM and CDMA sprint and verizon). This one has like 7 and I kinda lose sight of what I need to check on.
TL,DR: Please check my questions below. (I put the important text bold)
http://prntscr.com/73hrp9 --> Those 3 sections... what's the main difference between them? Where should I look for roms for my device? What happens to the phone if I accidentally flash v30a stock or some custom rom for another version of the phone? Will it brick or bootloop or just some things such as network connection won't work?
I have a spigen slim armor case but the aluminium back is pretty damaged. Does anyone know if they still support the G2 in terms of acessories? I would want to replace the aluminium part of the case and maybe buy some screen protection. I know I can ask this and look for this in the acessories part but I found many topics with too much spreaded info and nothing convincing enough. What do you recommend for screen protection? iloome doesn't support the G2, I've seen the Glass-M and Ultimate Shield... Is there more options?
What can led to a brick in my device? How can I avoid it? Please don't tell me to not flash any custom rom and just stick with the stock. I want to try out new things, I just need to know where and what should I look.
I don't get the recoveries here! I have TWRP installed, but for what I've read there are more than 1 version of TWRP. They vary from the way I install it and they can be lost if I flash some kinds of roms. This doesn't happen with the Galaxy Nexus, TWRP is TWRP and CWM is CWM and stock recovery is stock recovery. What really happens in the G2 and what kind of recovery should I have to always have a anti brick backup plan?
What about the camera mod? Can I use it with stock lollipop? Can I use it with another custom roms? Do camera quality decrease with custom roms as they don't have lg software to process the images?
Well, I know the policy here at XDA is for searching and doing things ourselves as this is a developer forum and not a support forum. But as I learned what I should and should not do with my previous phone, I'm hoping to have a similar experience with this one without having to experience any more bricks and problems. That's why I'm asking before I do crap just because I didn't notice the small letters at the end of the post, or the comment #252652 of the thread of a user warning that the thing I'm doing will result in a bad experience. I'm just having some precautions and asking things directed to more experienced users who have the phone longer than me and can answer easily.
Hi all,
I'm very new to that scene so sorry if it is obvious but I can't figure out what roms actually can run Pokémon go. Does anyone have any feedback on what roms work / don't work? Picked up an s7 G935F and didn't get warned it had SU already on it. Figured might as well get a better rom while fixing it.
Any recommendations on a rom, or even advice on how to tell if a rom can indeed run Pokémon go currently? Is it just Magisk compatable that I should watch for? I'd rather keep the root if I can and play around. Already got Odin and Twrk working
Found the below link from 130 days ago... Is this still the fix most people use? If so any rom should work right?

Hey guys
I decided to by the p10+ via amazon so i ended up with the VKY-AL00 version. I see that most of the guides here refer to the VKY-L29 variant of phones. Will trying them out brick my device?
Is there a way to make myself a stock version of (bare with me, the last phone i successfully rooted/flashed was my Galaxy S3 with cyanogen mod. and this was like 1 year ago, im super rusty with terms) the kernel, bootloader, recovery and ROM?
EMUI is attrocious to me, I would liked to install cyanogenmod (or LineageOS now?) but i doubt they have it up yet. Regardless, i would like to keep the camera software that comes with the p10+ since it has a crap ton of options for the camera. Is there a way to keep this app If i flash a new ROM to the device? If not, is there an app out there that can do what this one does? (maybe even better?)
Thanks!
