[Q] system time hack for a specific app topic

Hello everyone.
Does anyone know an app or a way to specific system time for a single app but leave the real system time untouched, so it doesn't affect other apps and the entire android system?
This is actually for my favourite game "Dota Arena" Chinese version. The game server sends out events and activities at certain time each day using chinese time zone GMT+8, I live at time zone +12. So I often receive an error when the game tells me something is happening but if fact it is not until 4-5 hours later due to time zone difference.
I am hoping that there is a hack or an app to specific system time for this game app, so I could avoid these problems without changing my real system time.
Any input would be helpful.
Thank you.

[Q] What if I can't connect to a specific cellular network provoider (yesss! AUT)? topic

Hello all,

I want to understand in a more detail how android is working because I have a specific problem with the cellular network.

On my galaxy s4 i9505 I was running a CM11 Snapshot M9 for a while without a problem.
It's ok but I often wanted to update to the latest CM11 builds (Snapshot or Nightlys) but there seems to be a problem with my cellular network.

The thing is, my provider is "yesss!" which is a discount mobile provider in Austria. With the M9 build the correct network is found and automatically connected. On all newer variants there is no automatical connection.
When I search for cellular network providers I only find the bigger ones like "A1", "Drei", "T-Mobile", ...
I can connect manually to "A1" which is a roaming partner of "yesss!" but it won't reconnect automatically and it is detected as roaming (which is correct). So basically the modem is working but there is no cance to find a connection to "yesss!"

How does it work?
I found out that even on the newer builds, the same modem is used.
I tried: I9505_XXUDMGG_MODEM.tar and later I9505_XXUDMHI1_MODEM.tar
both work with CM11 Snapshot M9 but are not working with newer builds.
So it may seems to be no problem of the modem?!

I tried to go to the "*#*#4636#*#*" menu and checked the settings:
on both versions "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)" is configured, so also no difference.

I tried some inofficial CM12 builds and other Andorid 5.0 builds.
Allways the same... The roms are working fine but the can't connect to "yesss!". only "A1" is possible.

Does anybody know what I could do?
Please help. Right now it seems that I am stuck at an old CM11 build.

[Q] How to force specific usb drivers to try to resurect an android tablet topic

I installed incompatible drivers to a LePan II (tc979) android tablet. and it pretty much died instantly. i used to try many things with it knowing that i have the correct usb drivers : AnyDATA_USB_Driver and the official firmware :Release_LePanII_v406_Secured_Fused_fast boot.
But that error made the tablet really bricked, and it wont show any sign of life (wont power on) the only thing i have is "unknown device" in the Universal Serial Bus Controllers tab of device manager.
I tried several ways to update the drivers to the one that is made for the tablet and all i get is "the best driver software for your device is already installed - Unknown device"
even after uninstalling them and trying a few device drivers on my computer...
it just wont work and without being able to detect my tablet the firware cant restore life to it.
Can somebody help me?

Play store crashes when downloading specific app topic

Hi all!
As always, I will start with the disclaimer that I am legally blind, and that I attempted to see if this issue was already addressed recently, but I have trouble navigating the forums.

I am a fairly competent Android user, but I am by no means an expert. I am just totally lost on this issue. I have the Galaxy Note 4 (T-Mobile variety) and am running the most recent firmware. I am rooted with a vanilla setup.

The phone has been working wonderfully, but after trying to download the Dungeon Hunter 4 game, suddenly the Play Store crashed. Since then, any time I attempt to download Dungeon Hunter 4, the store crashes and loops the "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped working." Other apps seem to be downloading just fine, oddly enough.

I did the usual measures: cleared cache and data for Play Store, Play Services, and Download Manager. Alas, it was to no avail. I also removed and re-added my Google account, too. It fixes the crash quite effectively *UNTIL* I attempt to download DH4. (Gameloft customer service leaves a lot to be desired - I submitted a support ticket a week ago!)

If anyone has any thoughts on the issue, I'd be immensely happy - - thanks guys!
