Zipatile "rooted" Android firmware without zipato add-ons

I also tried several versions of the Google Play Services but None of them is working. After a few seconds there is a dialogue saying "Google Play Services has been stopped ("Google Play-Dienste" wurde beendet") - and the Play Store doesn't run.

So, which Version is really running?

yes I do not think they want anyone messing with and hence slowing the system down.

I too thought the Zipatile was coming with a open android platform and was looking forward to the possibilities. But I can understand also why they have taken this approach, as their is only 8G rom. I also was hoping for a sd expansion slot and/or 3g sim backup. Maybe in future versions. When i get a chance ill look into getting play store on there if possible. I think we will need to install gapps through recovery mode with the MD5 checksum disabled or ignored.

Adrian, there is an SD slot on the top of the zipatile. It takes microSD cards up to 32GB. But you must avoid UHS class cards (they also have on the labec an "I" sign as they wont work. I had one 65gb and I wan inable to update the firmware. After I purchased a 16Gb version without this class speed (it is only class 4) and no problems at install.

thanks matthew for all your work on this. Ill do the install tomorrow, looking forward to it.

is this realy working? dont we need a Driver for Windows for the ZipaTile?

hi there, did you have any luck to get correct TWRP for Zipatile?

Hi,

Somebody have found something more?

Well, what applications you want to use that are gapps dependant? I would not dare to install any google on zipatile as it is not the fastest hardware out there (obviously for 350 how can you expect to have a metal frame, snapdragon 820, ....tablet with all the functions) and google is eating a lot of energy and storage.

Tasker is running on zipatile no problem. so is skype and doorbird (apparently).

I haven't tried tasker, as I thought I would need google services to verify it. I suppose I could find a cracked version. Cant comment on skype, but Doorbird works as an intercom service, but notifications are not received by the Zipatile, because notifications are dependant on Google Cloud services. This makes the Doorbird app almost useless.

I wish someone could figure out how to use the Doorbird api for Notifications and use it to trigger a virtual sensor on the Zipatile. This would allow you then to use the inbuilt siren(doorbell) instead. I can not get it to work, and if it could be worked out to trigger the sensor over local ip, even better.

Anyone work this out and i'll you a beer or 10.

Hi,

Rooting is not possible with kingroot apk, can you explain how you did it?Rooting is not possible with kingroot apk, can you explain how you did it?
