After various tentative I can confirm that doing a factory reset (from telephone "Reset" menu) resolved the Play Store issues.
I'm now able to install apps from Play Store.
I had to manually set the IMEIs after reset (so write down your IMEIs vefore doing that).
I also set the language of the phone to Italian (you can choose your language). This obviously does not change the system menu language but this way all apps (eg. whatsapp, facebook, gmail etc) are shown in your desired language.
@Gameover31 I've installed Whatsapp, and after some configuration it's running without problems. I receive all notifications. I will keep using the phone to check if there is a problem on the long run.
So here's the steps i followed after installing Halo 7 Cleopatra MOD:
- Write down your IMEIs (dial *#06* or read them from the phone box).
- Do a factory reset (Settings->Reset->Factory data reset). This will take some time. This fixed all the PlayStore problems I had.
Setting the IMEIs (credit to @Huber7052 for this part):
- Download "MTK Engineering Mode" from play store
- go to Engineer Mode ( MTK ) -> CDS information -> Radio Information
- select Phone 1
- enter AT+ EGMR=1,7,"IMEI1" (replace IMEI1 by the first IMEI number, the " will be needed)
- click the "SEND AT COMMAND" button
- go back and select Phone 2
- enter AT+ EGMR=1,10,"IMEI2" (replace IMEI2 by the second IMEI number, the " will be needed)
- reboot your phone
- verify the IMEI numbers by dial *#06#
Note that every time you'll do a factory reset, you must set the IMEIs again.
- Install and set as default you preferred launcher (Eg. Nova Launcher, or you can use the Google Now launcher provided by Cleo Google Apps Installation).
- Install a system app remover (Eg. System app remover (ROOT) from Jumobile).
- Open it and grant ROOT access.
- Uninstall all the Chinese s**t apps. There's a lot so do't be scared to erase. Here's some screen of the app that i deleted:
- Some other residual chinese apps are not system apps so you can delete them directly from app drawer.
It is possible to set your desired language for the phone. As already said this does not affect your phone menu language but this way your apps will be in your desired language.
To do this install app "MoreLangs" from Sightidea Studio. Open it and grant root access. Select your language from the list.
After this you can proceed to install your favorite apps (eg. whatsapp, hangouts, Google Duo, facebook.. etc.) and then you have allow notifications and background use (very similar to what we done with pepsi dido OS):
1) Go to Settings ->Startup manager and activate apps that you want to run automatically when the phone starts
2) Go to Settings ->Security -> PureBackground and activate apps that you want to use with notifications.
3) Go to Settings->Battery e make sure "Standby intelligent power saving" is ACTIVE.
4) Go to Settings->Notification Manager and enable notification on the app you want.
With this configuration I've used it for 4 hrs and made a lot of notification tests all with success. Will update if something goes wrong in the long run.
I followed Cleopatra instructions and everything works fine. Are you sure you flashed the correct version and followed all the steps? I suggest you to try again.
