Hi!
Has anyone managed to get Family Link working on a Redmi Note 3 Pro?
I've tried with stock global fasboot rom's (stable and developer) and get a error after login with child's account, that mentions minimum requirements of android version and Google Play Services.
Also tried several customs rom's (Nougat, Oreo and Pie), with the same result...
I know Family Link works on custom rom's, because I had it on my Moto G 2014 (Titan), with Lineage 14.1.
Best regards.
Anyone?
I've search troughtout the Internet, still could'nt figure it out...

Bypassing Family Link may be somewhat easy, doing it without me finding out it's a little bit trickier...
But my question isn't about the advantages or disadvantages of parental control in smartphones.
I tried also setting a family link child account in pocophone, and still get the message with the requirements, although the phone is running android O.
Maybe it's Xiaomi incompatibility?

I dont think its anything to do with hardware compatibility.
Are u sure all ur kids phone have android oreo.
Go to google product forums and search keywords family link doesnt work. May be u will find some answers.
I already tried with different roms M N O. Fresh install and latest gapps.
Always get the message - this device needs newer software - when adding child account.
Also did login with my account, updated apps in playstore, removed my account and add child account. Same result.
Searched the web, found 2 or 3 similar cases, without solution...

How google family link is unique ? Is there any alternative app ?
Family link it's very complete in features, but one of the main reasons I want to use it is because of my daughter's Google account, that already as lot's of data, photos, messages, contacts...
It is a child account, and I can't log in on any phone without family link.

I think u cant use it if ur kid is 13 and above. Also Now they have split family link into 2 apps For parents and children.
Also check if ur phone and kids phone shouldnt be rooted. May be Selinux for all phones should be enforcing and not permissive. I m Not sure if it is requirement. I m just saying.
Are u on custom rom?
Also i think strong apps likes family link should be system app and should be included in gapps package which cant be uninstalled easily. And can be removed only from recovery.
And it should not be user app. User app are easy to trick and can be easily uninstalled.
Family Link is working fine in Moto G 2014, with Lineage 14.1. Fresh install with micro gapps. On first boot, when asked for google account, I put my daughters account and it automatically installs Family Link and the process runs smoothly, as described in Google support pages.
Very different with Kenzo. It always gives the message "this device needs newer software" when adding child account. Tried with many custom roms and stock.
I can live without it, and create a new adult account for my daughter, but this problem is getting really frustrating, and it's making my ocd twitch...

You can install telegram and direct chat with devs on telegram chat. May be they might give some answers. Search and join any kenzo group or any specific rom groups.
So I finally got Family Link working with Kenzo.
I flashed miui global stable through miflash and relocked the bootloader, and it worked.
As mentioned, in Moto G 2014, with unlocked bootloader, family link works fine, so maybe it's xiaomi thing...
I prefer global dev (miui 10), but I'm tired of changing roms
please HELP me

Hello. Just today, I began to solve the same problem as you did some time ago. Could you please advise me how you managed to get to NOTE 3 Original ROM and lock BOOTLOADER? Any MiFlash I can't run properly on my PC. If you could advise me where you downloaded the functional MiFlash and the official ROM, I would be grateful for this valuable information. My daughter cannot use her account on this phone because of the Family Link malfunction on NOTE 3. I have a version of Windows 10 on my computer or I have a MacBook. Thank you for every answer.

I got Carbon successfully installed and love it! But one thing I miss is how easy it is to stop users from browsing my private data when I hand my phone over to them (Emui Privacy Protection, google (in quotes) Hide Your Contact, Album and App)
I figure with Carbon the closest equivalent is the guest account?
If it isn't, please clue me in, but if it is, my phone is limited to one user account when I can't force fw.max_users=4 to stick.
pm get-max-users keeps going back to 1 after every reboot.
Does anyone know of an alternative locking functionality to that emui awesomeness I had before? Or is there a way to make guest work?
Sorry to make y'all google above, I'm a newbie and am not allowed to add url's to this post

The URL that comes up when you google "Hide Your Contact, Album and App" is too long to do that, but it comes up instantly with the exact results that I'd paste anyway.
I just wanted to illustrate the feature that I am missing and wish I could make work in Carbon. Thinking about reverting to emui just for that feature, but if I did that I'd feel so inadequate, having worked so hard to get twrp and carbon installed.

You can have multiple ROMs at once. Highly recommended by me .

Yeah, what I need though is more like what's available in the emui stock os, where you can lock your phone, unlock it with an alternate pin, and the temporary user can't open any but the apps you specify.
Rebooting to a separate rom is too much trouble for handing the phone off for 30 secs.
Have you seen the emui privacy protection feature? Pretty cool.
I'll probably just use screen pinning; not quite as good, but it works.
You could use stock ROM most of the time when you know you might have to share the phone, and make Carbon your secondary to use only when you won't be likely to need to share phone.

That would be one solution.
Since I posted this two days ago, I've experiment with the screen pinning tool, and also I DID successfully add another user account, so switching users should be a good solution.
You'll have to forgive me; I work in IT Security. One just doesn't hand over one's information to another user!!
Isn't there a Carbon thread. Maybe ask Carbon questions in there.
There are app lockers out there like this. What you do is choose an app you want to lock (for example, Gallery) and then you choose when to lock it and how to unlock it.
Hello. I just got the Verizon Ellipsis 10 (QTAIR70 tablet. Is there a working root method for it available? Thanks in advance.
I posted this question about 4 weeks ago and there has been no response yet. It's not even listed as a device on this site. It might be because it is from Verizon. They make it almost impossible to access your own device. This will be the last Verizon device that I buy.
Root Help please!

I'm in the same boat. Have an Ellipsis 10 and need to find out how to root it.
Ellipsis 10
Does anybody no how to root Ellipsis 10 im trying to figure it out . IF anyone can help please thanks
BUMB
Is there any news on this front
I also have the Verizon ellipsis 10 I have $500. Into mine, with all the accessories! I want to Root it. I had problems with my service, for over two weeks I wasn't getting any service, So I told them to disconnect me, because I wasn't paying for something that I wasn't getting. They continued to charge me for three months after wards. I wasn't even using my tablet at that point. They sent me to collections. I feel that after paying $500. For the products & getting screwed over, that I deserve to have better options & control of my device. Has anyone safely rooted this device???? Please help!
How do you get senior members to see your post?????
I have been watching this for a while. Does not seem like anyone is working on root for it unfortunately. I have had mine for a while and have been waiting for root not sure if it's going to happen. Good luck
Please root of custom recovery for qtair7
Can I install a custom bootloader on this? And root? In developer options it has an option for OEM unlocking.
I'm guessing no one with any knowledge or skills has one of these. A friend gave me his after he factory reset it and got locked out. It'd be nice to have root, and CM on it.

Just noticed your post.
I actually have one that I've been unable to get past the FRP on for the last month or so.
Would you be kind enough to share your knowledge on the bypass?
I'd be very grateful if you would.
Kind regards.

I also would love an frp workaround.. I have a client who has hired my computer security company to remove an frp lock from their grandsons ellipsis 10 tablet... he forgot his password...
Thank You for helping and being a part of XDA..
I know this is an old thread but the FRP workaround on this device is pretty easy. You have to side step the device setup download a few files and install them and then you can add and additional G account, then finish device setup and do a factory reset from the device settings screen.
Visit the following page and in setup you need to download and install Google acount manager 5 and the add a google acount apks. you then setup a new G acount through the browser. They have a youtube video on how to do it if you look for a link on their page.
lavileztechservice.com
I have unlocked a few of the ellipsis 10 tablets with the frp account.
If you need more help respond here and I can search my memory to help your out.
If you could help with this i would be GREATLY and ETERNALLY grateful! Plea$e contact me at
[email protected] Again thank you and I look foreward to your reply, I paid for this damn tablet and would like to use it for something other than a paperweight!!
Ok so I hear the bypass used here as mentioned used to work but if your tablet now has the latest updates, it won't. When I try to get In via browser it won't, stating that java needs to be enabled. Well tonight I finally slipped In and got into Google somewhat of a browser. And I can search and click links but when I go to try and download apk files, just nothing at all happens.
To get into the Google browser I go thru the setup till I get to verify account. Hit the forgot email, and typed in a phone number. Hit next band then it asks for first name. But now, on the keyboard below notice the small microphone. Tap that. Then, tap the settings icon on the left. After that, go to About on the bottom left. Then legal, on the right side. Then, tap privacy policy. On the very top look for the colorful GOOGLE and tap that. In. From there I can't get the apk files to download. Or if they are downloading, no option to open. Can anyone help from here??
just add 2 google accounts! first thru google account manager then thru settings under accounts and voila back out all the way to activation screen and finish the activation as normal and your done had to try different thing because info on this is very limited and the other tips did not work for me
side note developer mode would not turn on no matter how many times i tapped on build number while in bypass mode developer works once your in as main account
elipsis 10 bypass
so i am able to get to the part where i am supposed to tap it 7 times to get in dev mode but nothing happens, what do I do next?

I very wait a video can be root and open network of this tablet
I sold off the few Elipsis 10 tablets that I had, but you were correct in that they were not updated when I bypassed frp as the last update patched those vulnerabilities.
You have to experiment to get to the chrome browser and be able to install apks, same as almost any other android device with an FRP lock.

It is not spyware.
I thought it's used to get anonymous usage statics and device information! Duh. It certainly picked up my interest. I will try decompiling it and check!

i was about to make thread regarding this yesterday only.. but huge thanks to you that you made it.. BUT WHY ARE YOU LYING THAT YOU FOUND IT..? Its was figured out by chinese developer few years back itself on official chinese miui forum, But recently again it came in news after a student from netherlands tried to confront Xiaomi on this apk. And it was on Indian News Website aajtak yesterday, and here is the link...
http://aajtak.intoday.in/story/researcher-says-hackers-may-access-xiaomi-device-using-this-backdoor-1-887976.html
Now coming to the Apks, YES these two are sending users data to Xiaomi servers, but not 24x7 as its mention in news. Many users including myself aware of this when it came on miui forum 1 or 2 years back, So every time I update latest beta build i manaully delete these apks. :good:

you are lying it again dude, i dont know why. more you lie, you will dig yourself deeper... It was almost trending on facebook and popular android websites(as i have subscribed so many tech and android websites) from last 2 days, .. it came on aajtak website yesterday, they published 4 times the same article on thier FB page. Yes it came on miui forum once, but though the website is own by xiaomi, they deleted the thread after 3-4 days.
Now coming to you findings, first question, why did u uninstalled it? though it is a system app, how did you came to know its useless or spyware..? According to you it came back after you uninstalled it, Let me tell you, It only comes back when you install a system update, and everyone knows here, when you flash updated MIUI version, every system apps comes again with it. even you loss root n xposed too. So if you updated your software, then you must be knowing everything, and there is no reason for doubting how it came back. And if it came back without updating, then You are BUSTED bro.
Second thing, Only titanium backup shows analytics.apk .. and no other System app uninstaller shows both of them(as far i have used), So you need to go through specific directories to delete them(root). and most time there are many copies of the same application in diferent locations, So you have to delete all of them and thier caches,

Could you correct your spelling as well please!
It is not "analyst" but called "Analytics"!
Package name: - com.miui.analytics
In system > app as: - AnalyticsCore.apk
Edit: No wonder you could not find anything on google, if you searching with the wrong phrase.

When you back up everything and restore it again, you will have as little space as now.
Get a file manager like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager
It will show you which apps or files take up the space on your phone (see screenshot attached). Delete apps and files you don't need and only then make a backup
Here's another great app that will help finding out what takes up the most space - DiskUsage

Honestly all custom ROMs will be basically the same since pretty much all of them are AOSP based. They all should have Italian language. The only difference you will experience might be in some tweaks that other ROMs don't include out of the box. LineageOS might be a good starting choice since it gets frequent updates, it's very popular and it's one of the most basic ones out there, maybe start with that one. Something like Resurrection Remix would add many more tweaks but visually they both will be similar. I chose AOSiP since it's fairly basic but had some useful tweaks LineageOS didn't include and it gets updated just as frequently.
If you don't know how AOSP compares to MIUI, maybe check some Youtube videos to see how the interface looks like. Note that camera performance/quality might be slightly worse when compared to MIUI. MIUI also might have features, AOSP does not have. It's screenshot taking capabilities are much better for example. Audio volume out of the box might also be much lower when compared to MIUI so you will probably need to fix that.
1. Hopefully you have Snapdragon chipset since development for Snapdragon is more active than for Mediatek
2. Pick a well known/popular ROM (basically sort by views and pick something that has official in it's title). I wouldn't download anything from someone's Dropbox/Google Drive
3. Choose Android 10 or 11, no need to install anything below
4. Choose ROM that has frequent updates so your security patch is up to date
Before ROM installation you need to unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery (TWRP for example). All these processes have guides here in XDA. I don't know if 4X differs from 4 so better read about that before doing anything
Ok. Thank you very much....i'll try....
Will there be custom roms soon thanks to Is Android 12L?
There is some activity regarding elish and enuma in the LineageOS Gerrit. But shhh

If the job will be accomplished — yes.
I asked @SebaUbuntu about Mi Pad 5/ Pro support but he cannot promise anything. His idea is to make unified tree with Poco F3. Maybe fundraiser could help him
I am waiting eagerly this lineage os work to complete, but there is no progress

I'm willing to throw some money at it if he can add the Poco F3 baseband to a pad 5 5g custom rom. Same chip set and specs basically.
I want calls and SMS to function. I want to ditch a phone and just have the Pad 5. My online banking is done via OTP (one-time pin). I can withdraw money cardless I just need my SMS to send me the pin.
Also money in and out of my account I'm sent an SMS.
I'll tip in $100 USD. Let's go.
The SMS (both sending and receiving msgs) works fine on mine (Pad 5 pro 5g). The voice call doesn't work at all. You can't even use a dialer for 'secret codes' for testing. I am currently on a GSI, but it was the same on MIUI. I am in the UK if it makes a difference.

Can you please describe how well the GSI works on your device and was it easy to get it running?
Yes it's working fine except for the pen. Check the GSI thread on the non-pro Pad 5 forum. I have posted there a few times myself.

If you're in the US you can set up a Google Voice account and send/receive SMS via Google Voice app or voice.google.com, this way you don't rely on cell service @ all...

Development seems to be dead.
Will be an instant buy for me if i can flash LOS or ArrowOS, do not like preinstalled crap in stock oem roms.

Not at all, the miui interface and the google framework is integrated, i need a vanilla rom without such crap, then i can install manually the apk i need for my use.
I will strongly prefer to ditch MIUI if nothing else to greatly reduce the risk of irreversible hardbricks that seems to be fairly common with updates after the first year or so and very rare in case of custom ROMs if at all. Just today a new report mentioned MIUI 13 hardbricking Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11, Mi 11 Lite 5G. MIUI is just garbage IMO anyway.

Go into developer menu and turn off Miui optimisation. Can sideload any apk once it's turned off.
I couldn't load any system apps and non store apks until I did.
MIUI is ok when you sort all the permissions out.

Miui is heavy, without this crap the os load 2 times more fast also, i prefer 100 times the standard aosp minimal but fast gui.
