# XGIMI Play 6 (CN) — Customization Session Summary
|
|
|
|
## Goal
|
|
Replace Chinese stock launcher and Sogou keyboard with custom launcher (HALauncher) and Gboard. No root, no firmware flash.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Key Findings
|
|
|
|
### Firmware
|
|
- CN and Global versions differ **hardware-level** — global firmware won't install on CN unit
|
|
- No community-made custom ROM for Play 6 exists yet (as of early 2026)
|
|
- Active 4PDA thread: https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1115248
|
|
|
|
### ADB
|
|
- USB ADB: **not working** — projector doesn't expose itself as USB device despite cable + ADB enabled in settings
|
|
- Wireless ADB (Android 12+ feature via SystemUI Tuner by zacharee1): **not working** — projector is on Android 11 or lower
|
|
- ADB over port 5555 via older SystemUI Tuner (ALEKSKART): **not yet tried** — next step
|
|
|
|
### APK Installation
|
|
- Works via USB stick (FAT32), rename files: `app.apk` → `app.apk.1`
|
|
- Not all apps launch after install (e.g. Kinopoisk fails, VK Video works)
|
|
|
|
### Secret menu
|
|
- Last settings item → hold **down arrow 5+ sec** → hidden service menu appears
|
|
- Contains focus calibration and keyboard selection
|
|
- Switching keyboard from there didn't work for one user
|
|

|
|

## The Working Method (from 4PDA post)
|
|
Once ADB is connected:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Disable Sogou keyboard
|
|
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sohu.inputmethod.sogou.tv
|
|
|
|
# Disable stock XGIMI launcher
|
|
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.xgimi.home
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Revert if needed:
|
|
```bash
|
|
adb shell pm enable com.sohu.inputmethod.sogou.tv
|
|
adb shell pm enable com.xgimi.home
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|

|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
1. **Download SystemUI Tuner by ALEKSKART** (older version, supports Android 9-11, enables ADB on port 5555)
|
|
- Link: https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1057683
|
|
- File: `SystemUITuner-1.0-min-sdk28.apk`
|
|
- Requires 4PDA account to download
|
|
|
|
2. **Install it on projector** via USB stick (rename to `.apk.1`)
|
|
|
|
3. **Open it**, find option to enable ADB / port 5555
|
|
|
|
4. **Connect from Mac:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
adb connect <projector-ip>:5555
|
|
adb devices
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. **Install Gboard + HALauncher** via ADB if USB stick method is unreliable:
|
|
```bash
|
|
adb install Gboard.apk
|
|
adb install HALauncher.apk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. **Run disable commands** from "Working Method" above
|
|
|
|
7. **Reboot** and verify HALauncher loads as home screen
