XGIMI Play 6 — Setup Guide

Chinese GMUI 6 version. ADB over network only (USB ADB non-functional). IP on home network: 192.168.1.58.

Key Constraints

Architecture: arm64-v8a (MT9639 chip) — verify all APKs
OS: GMUI 6.0 (Android 11) — Wireless ADB not available (needs Android 12+)
ADB: Network-only via port 5555

Bootstrap Sequence

1. Install via USB flash (before ADB is up)

APKs must be renamed: file.apk → file.apk.1 (flash drive workaround). Flash must be FAT32. Install via built-in file manager.

Install in this order:

SystemUI Tuner (github.com/zacharee/Tweaker) — enables ADB
Projectivy Launcher — replaces stock XGIMI launcher

2. Enable ADB

Settings → find ADB → enable. Connect from Mac:

brew install android-platform-tools
adb connect 192.168.1.58:5555
adb devices

3. Install remaining apps via ADB

adb -s 192.168.1.58:5555 install /path/to/file.apk

Recommended apps: LeanKey Keyboard, VLC, Total Commander, YouTube ReVanced, Кинопоиск TV (4pda.to, regular .apk not .apks).

4. Replace launcher

# Disable stock launcher
adb -s 192.168.1.58:5555 shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.xgimi.home
# Set Projectivy as default
adb -s 192.168.1.58:5555 shell cmd package set-home-activity \
  com.spocky.projengmenu/.ui.main.MainActivity

5. Keyboard

# Disable Sogou Chinese IME
adb -s 192.168.1.58:5555 shell pm disable-user --user 0 \
