How to hide CyanogenOS to an app? - Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers

Hi,
just to say it: I would not have to ask this question at all, if the cyanogen forum would be up... I'm pretty sure I'm not the first cyanogenOS user with this problem.
I'm a TripAdvisor user and the android app is letting me down during my holiday at this very moment. Because I'm using CyanogenOS (not rooted) it won't show the embedded google map. The complete error message I'm getting is: "Themes on devices running Cyanogen OS are known to cause crashes with Google Maps. Maps on TripAdvisor will be disabled on this device."
I've never had a crash with Google Maps on Wileyfox Swift2. So how do I get rid of the issue with very little effort?
Thanks!

I have this same problem. It's a bit annoying for the TripAdvisor app to not even give the user the option to try the embedded Google Maps. The original poster's idea of "hiding" the fact that the device is running CyanogenMod (in my case, despite that TripAdvisor thinks its Cyanogen OS) from the app would be a useful workaround.
Anyone?
thanks.
(OnePlus One, CyanogenMod 14.1 nightly last, until LineageOS gets up and running...)

Same problem here with running Oneplus One CyanogenOS . I'm pretty sure it is a way of tripadvisor boycott Cyanogen powered devices, because I never had a single problem using both Tripadvisor or Google Maps...

Hi littlebifi, you made a point to note that your device is not rooted; is that to suggest that on a rooted device you know of a way to fool the TripAdvisor app into NOT blocking Google Maps embedded? How?
thanks,

Hi,
I'm sorry, but I don't know if it's possible to fool the app if the device would be rooted. I just stated it to describe my current setup.
As a temporary solution I downgraded my Tripadvisor app to the previous version (uninstalled the old one, downloaded an old apk from some database online and installed this one) and now it's working again. But now I have annoying update notices from the play store, but the embedded map works again.

URL of prior version Tripadvisor app .APK?
Thanks for the reply. Could you post the URL of the prior version Tripadvisor app .APK that you used? (I make the assumption that you're satisfied that it's a legitimate version, not infected/tainted).
cheers,

I'm not allowed to post outside links. So please post the link I send you as pm instead of me
I can't give any guarantee for the outside link. It works for me.
Version 19 and higher has the block for mods, so I choose the latest Version 18.

Thanks. I tried both the link you sent in the PM and another I found by searching, and on my OnePlus One with CM14.1 both are rejected as corrupt...

Is the option "Unknown sources" active? You find it under Security in the section "Device administraion".

It's not the fact that it's an .apk instead of a Store installation (that would give a different error). The Android Package Installer really thinks that these are corrupt - or perhaps the OnePlus One or CM14.1/Android 7.1 .apk has to be slightly different than whatever I'm finding in these .apk archives?

I've got Titanium Backup on my device; all I had to do was protect and restore the last v18 of TripAdvisor. I've got embedded maps again!

[Q] screen will not turn off after auto hibernation on Nexus 5 and Nexus 7

it worked fine for the first few weeks I had greenify installed, but a couple of weeks ago on both my Nexus 5 & Nexus 7 2013, the screen will not turn off after auto hibernation. greenify still has all the device permissions and accessibility and unsecured lock screen it needs to do this, any ideas?
Which version are you using? There is 2.4.4 beta in the Playstore. Try it and see whether your issue goes away.

Thanks for the response. I am running 2.4.3. Unfortunately, Greenify beta is not showing up in the Playstore for me (just the 2.4.3 version is showing up). I've found the 2.4.4 apk at a few other websites, but am hesitant to download them from there (I'm not sure how secure those sites are). Do you have a download link that you trust, or could you post the apk?
Thanks

To get the official beta apk, there are 2 methods. I believe you could have already know this earlier if you open the main thread of Greenify. Please search the forum thoroughly. Anyway in the main post,
Join [G+ community] or [Google Group] then [OPT-IN] to receive beta version directly from Google Play. (You will get 404 error without first joining community or group)

If you want to install them manually without play store, you can go to oasisfeng's dropbox folder for that matter.
Please do a recent backup before using the Beta for easy downgrading.

Moved to https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-spenboardswitcher-3-4-changing-t3656384
The application is attached.
Changelog:
V3.3
-Improved installer by writing main application directly to /system/ instead of extracting to storage and then moving it.
-Added installation support on marshmallow
V3.2
-Added dynamic installation which will help this application get installed on many devices without any problems
-Added support for jellybean and kitkat devices.
-Should work on Note 2, 3, 4 and 5 and other S-Pen devices now without any problems (all variants, only N910F note 4 variant was tested, please give feedback)
V3.1
-Rewrote the installer. Installer is much more reliable now.
-Rewrote the service from scratch up. No notification, and uses very little power since it only runs when the pen state changes.
-Removed Learning/Static modes because I thought they were redundant.

I'm glad you like it. There is no known way to detect when an application is opened, which means that the only way to do this is to periodically check for the foreground application (every 5 seconds for example), which would make the application drain too much battery for my liking.
I'll look into it further (maybe there's a way to detect application launch using root), but I can't make any promises.

Did it ask for root on first launch? Delete the application's data and check supersu if root privileges have been granted.

Yes, it asked me about root privileges and I allowed it on first launch.
I can't delete application data because this button is inactive in a application manager...
Supersu checked, everything is ok.
Is the app compatible with Marshmallow? I can't test it yet, I'm waiting to root because of knox and warranty
It does not work with Note 5 - 6.0.1, I downloaded it from Play Store, run and install, then reboot my phone. After that I run the app again and it still asks me to install.
I will very soon work on a fix for both Jellybean and Marshmallow versions. Sorry for the late reply but was extremely busy.

I'm such an idiot. I rooted for your app alone and didn't find this thread until afterward. I have a Note 5 on 6.0.1. Has there been any progress? I'd gladly buy the app. Thanks.
EDIT- Once you click Install, only a fraction of a second passes and it says to reboot. There is no way enough time passes to actually install anything.

[SEARCH] Secure way to download APKs from Google PlayStore (w/o Google Services)

Hey people!
Is there a "safe app" (open source, obtaining APKs directly from Google PlayStore) on Android to download APKs from the PlayStore and install it on a Android device which has no GooglePlay services running? If not, which one is the safest solution to use a (linux) program (open source) or browser extension (open source) to do so? I don't wan't to step in fishing traps or get myself some malware from 3rd party app stores.
Thank you!
Blankstore but you won't find all apps due to the generated Android ID.
Thank you very much! Unfortunately the program seems to be discontinued and therefor it's not working on Android .

I used it for several months and it's still working. There's no "active developement", only bug fixes. That's why OP mentions "discontinued". FYI he will work on a new App store this summer (or later if he doesn't have enough free time).

I tried Apkpure a few days and my sha1 checks were ok compared to the original apks (next updates from Google Play were working too) BUT we have no guarantee that it will always work like that... I'm waiting for the new Blankstore. For now, most of my apps are downloaded from F-Droid and the remaining ones are updated through the original Google Play. Fortunately, we have microG framework.

AL00 No Playstore

Hi guys, I just got my Mate 10 ALP-AL00 with pure chinese ROM, no Playstore, no Google Apps whatsoever. How do I install Google Apps and which type should I choose (full/micro/nano)? Any help would be appreciated.
Oh man you should buy L29

(Un)fortunately it's a gift, I had no choice from the very beginning.
you can download play store .apk and install normally
all google services are disabled in china so you will need to flash european or american rom
Follow this guide
You could rebrand to L29 - you can do this through FunkyHuawei (it costs), but you could also install Google Services:

I have the Chinese version as well ALP-AL 00
all I did was grab the Google play a PK file from X DA side loaded onto my phone and everything works beautifully.
Luckily the Google services that I use are very minimal. I use the play store Google games Google hangouts that's about it and for everything that I just listed works beautifully no problems.
No need to rebrand your phone or any of that nonsense to get Google play services working on your Chinese branded phone enjoy.

You don't need to install GMS on Mate 10, it's built in.
If you can't download app from Play Store, try give all permissions in Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Apps -> Google Play Store -> Permissions.

You need to allow the built in download app to download file bigger than 50 using mobile data, else some app wont downloaded until you get connected to wifi
Also allow storage permission for play store
Huawei send an update OTA to AL 00 and now the PlayStore didn´t work anymore (before update all was fine, installed PlayStore from HiApp). Now it´s impossible to load any Google app from Huawei HiApp Store. manually installation didn´t work, too. Install runs, but connect to update or install new apps failed. Any idea? Changing language and Country didn´t work, I´m from Germany and already tried Tanzania, Germany and China, too.

I think that feature is location-dependent. Only works in China as far as I know.
Had anyone figured out how to get Google pay working for the Chinese variant?

I am attempting to put a thread together that includes most of the information that anyone may need when either thinking about purchasing a Chinese Mate 10 Pro, or rebranding one.
I would be interested in getting feedback from anyone who has one of the BLA-AL00 variants, and if you could list any issue you may have with that version.
Can you still use google play, what works and what doesn't work., etc etc,
My consolidation thread is Here
I hope it can be of help to others.

Yes, this was the only version that worked for me.
Just to add, if I enable app-twin for whatsapp it immediately says it's not certified, then disabling it stops it.
This also happens when using phone clone and copying whatsapp over when app twin was used, but I didn't realise at the time why until I set it up without phone clone.
Everything else seems ok though.

Can't be guaranteed, but I've been through two updates and it's not affected GMS
Thats good news. Cheers
Same here no issues after update
Did someone already tried to use https://apkpure.com or other "alternative" Store?
Recent method 1 and method 2 are not working. what happens is that LZPlay is not integrating the .apk as system files and for this, they do not work. Take great care of your previously installed GMS.
google has blocked all methods now
Does this not work anymore? I tried the method from redskull and during signin stage, I did not get an error and did not see the "next" button. It just get stuck at trying to signin forever and can only see the cancel button

Hello,
I have a P40 pro Plus with the buid 10.1.0.156 (C432E2R3P3) (FR).
I used the following method to downgrade to version 10.1.0.132 :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2b_lBPc-Hk
and for install GMS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lcq...ature=youtu.be
for the software used a search in Xda and you will have the solution
The only downside is that it is not possible to update the version afterwards, but it works while waiting for a possible commercial release from the USA.
Hi, I have tried RedSkull's latest guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLzeYQ9YHVI) to install google services on P40 Pro Plus (10.1.0.155), but after trying multiple times, it was not successfull. Then what I did was to follow RedSkull's guide till account creation and launching of the blue G App (pressing the blue button and let it run in the background), and then I start following the @eloygomezTv guide from that step. Only change I did was before installing the Google Play Services (from EloYGomeZTv files), I uninstalled the microG. And then I followed the guide from EloYGomeZTv with his files and viola, I was able to install it. It took me two tries though.
