Hi,
I'm on XtreStoLite 2.4 5.1.1 on my S6 edge for months now. All was working perfectly. Recently, GPS started crashing randomly, but except for the error, services and sync seemed to be working fine. Now ytdy armageddon started and now Google apps connected to GPS (search, keep, music, but not play store for example) will not run and get killed instantly.
What I did based on what ive found:
- deactivated play services, uninstalled updates and restored the account, GPS 9.0.83 (240-121911109)
- wiped cache/dalvik which helped for couple of minutes
appreciate any help!
I've had problems too with the latest play services on LG G4 H815 6.0 v20d. Google Play Services crashes non boot and Google Chrome crash after a few seconds of opening.
Uninstalling updates fixed it but I'm told by many apps that I need the latest version. I didn't wipe cache though.

True, stopped the apps from crashing, but made them unusable, even Inbox which worked just fined on the corrupted (?) version.

Got a fix. Google apps working. No force closes/errors. Root needed to prevent auto-update to latest version.
i) Get to the May 7th (or earlier) Play Services from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/
Look at the notes at the top to see which version you need arm or 64 ect.
In you're case, it's '240' so arm64 + arm android 5.0+ version. Direct download for you link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-9-0-81-240-121617224-android-apk-download//ii) Enable airplane mode to prevent updates
iii) Then just install the apk on top of your rolled back version. Apks only install if version is newer.
iv) Using a root-enabled file manager like ES File Explorer, open \data\app and create two new, empty folders titled com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk. This tricks Google into causing auto updating of your GPS to fail.
v) Reboot (important)
Optional) Set Google Play Services as a device administrator again under security settings for Device Manager features.
If you get an error during install, then follow this guide to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832

Edit: yep. Same here. When I turn internet back on, it updates to latest version. Try installing an older version.
I'll try and find another way to stop auto updates.
Same problem here, uninstalled services by titanium then installed back by apk and flashed open gapps, worked for me
None of those worked for me. Well, I used the opportunity to update XtreStoLite to MM, and problem disappeared, obviously
However, come to think of it, it could have sth to do with Amplify killing processes. Thing is, I didn't manipulate with anything there recently, but after activating xposed module on updated ROM i saw some crashes again. Anyway, I disabled it in any case now, want to see how the battery will last on the updated ROM, but it could be connected

Were you by any chance changing your phones emojis? I was and rebooted and noticed the GPS crash. Undoing emoji changes didn't fit it.

- You have problems with the application Google Play Services 7.0.97?...
Google with the latest updates of play services has caused many problems, continuous blocks and excessive consumption of the battery...
I have not found a definitive solution to use version 7.0.97, but I can explain an alternative and provisional...
- What you need?
1. Root
2. Google Play Services .apk version 6.6.03 universal armeabi CPU (I preferred version and stable)
3. File manager with permission root
How to?
1. uninstall the previous version of the Google Play Services
2. install version 6.6.03 (...)
3. create a folder in /Data/app with name com.google.android.gms-2 , permits changes in RW-R-R (this folder blocks the automatic update)
Note:
- Updated from sdcard worked

Great ... until it gets auto-"upgraded" by Google. Since this is not listed as an app in Play, how would one mark to not auto-upgrade. Maybe if it shows on recent upgrades in "my-apps," auto-upgrade can be unchecked from there.
Tasker scripts and/or the "Amplfiy" Xposed module can be used to tame the battery drain, or use an app-permissions that might come with your ROM to take away keep-awake. Will do nothing for the instability, however.
Maybe post a link to the old version.

This looks like for lollipop.
In previous Android, using Link2sd, this would BE the link to the apk.
So what I did try was side-loading 6.6.03. The downgrade installed without a hitch thanks to the xinstall module, link2sd symlinked it, fine.
Then rebooted. Hoped to intercept the expected update and uncheck the Play Services auto-upgrade at that point. Unfortunately, most recent Google App (Search/Now) will not eat 6.6.03 so got com.google.process.gapps stop messages. The Google Now pane offered a click to install Play Services but this did not work.
Attempt to side-load 7.0.86 simply hung so trying to restore 7.0.97 from Titanium which also takes quite a bit of time but should eventually work (hope). So far, not successful, but will get it. Had side-loaded it originally.
is it causing problems on every version of android or only on kitkat ??

Well im on cm9 and i havent got any error so far
So I recently upgraded to cm13 from cm12.1. Everything went smooth and even xposed was working without trouble.
I configured a few things, removed some apps, installed new ones and didn't use it much for 2 days. Then I searched for something directly from the homescreen searchbar... and the app crashed.
Opening chrome and searching in there went without problems. THen I noticed that other apps (like blog apps or amazon) also crash whenever I try to open them, this brought me to thinking that webview might be the problem. I checked the play store and installed latest version, reboot, nothiong changed... apps crashing.
Yesterday I tried clean flashing latest cm13 with latest open gapps (NO xposed, NO custom kernel): setup app (that appears when setting up the device) crashes after setting up wifi.
It says: Google Play-Services was closed, I made a quick snap of the crash report and attached it to this post.
The whole report would not fit on a single screen so the picture is divided into left and right.
Can any1 tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Hi,
I had the HDX 8.9 Saturn running with the older rooted firmware (4.x). Then I updated to Android 5.1.1 with the help of the other thread here and everything was working immediately after that.
However, I noticed that there were some residues of the old Android 4 installation. Especially a very outdated Android Webview (v.41) was causing issues with some apps I wanted to use. (updating the webview from play store did not work as the old one was a system app and was not "overridden" by the play store app).
So after the upgrade the old webview was still there and the behavior of the 3rd party apps still like before. So I opened up Titanium Backup and removed the old webview as well as an app from Amazon (someting like amazon.webviewkkhelper or similar) with the same version as the outdated Android webview (the "kk" in the name made me think it was a Android 4.4 Kitkat residue).
Now, after a factory reset, however, I cannot sign in my Google account. After entering user/password the screen jumps back to the first screen (choose between login with existing account or new account).
In logcat I can see that apparently the webview is called and not found:
Code:
W/PackageManager( 997): com.amazon.webview.chromium is not installed for user 0
W/PackageManager( 997): com.android.webview is not installed for user 0
I'm not 100% sure that these messages are actually describing whats causing the issue, but they are a strong indicator that the google login wants to access a webview component.
Now, I have sideloaded the most recent webview from APKmirror, but it is called
Code:
com.google.android.webview
and is threfore probably not found / used.
Can anyone help me restore the system webviews that came with the Android 5.1.1 update?
Which versions of it do you guys see in the stock image?
Thank you in advance
Jochen

Assuming you rerooted install the Play Version of webview and then migrate it to the system partition using TB or another tool like Apps2SD. I have seen this both work and fail on Lollipop bases ROMs. Good luck.
Edit: Understand the naming issue; recent Google Play Services builds should look for both.

Thanks @Davey126, that helped. I installed the older webview v60 which was still called com.android.webview and made it a system app.
Then it worked again!
Login failed still but that was a different issue. Had my system further borked by trying to install Google stuff via flashfire... who knows what that did, but it did not work either. However, it prevented the old play store stuff to fail. I manually cleaned it up (hopefully) but at least now I can install the old playstore + gms again again .
Login worked afterwards. Lets see how it goes

I have installed both Greenify and Donation from Play Store on Lineage15.1 . It was working before. I did a clean install of the ROM and now it wont work.
In about, Donation Pack is recognized. In settings without installing Donation Pack, it prompts to purchase and now it is greyed out which means it does recognize the donation but wont work.
Using latest Magisk and Gapps. And it has nothing to do with startup at boot becuase it did not prompt me to do so as it does on OxygenOS.
I do not have the smiley face modding app installed. It also did not work when i installed Xposed. But, before all this it did work. Other apps with donations are working fine.
I dont know why this keeps on happening to all the people who actaully paid for it and not to the pirated copy users.

If you restored Greenify through TiBU or a similar app, this issue is likely. Sometimes even when it is installed from PlayStore, this happens.
Wipe the data and cache of the Donation app and then uninstall it. Then reinstall the Donation app from PlayStore and check.

Done that wont work. Did not use Titanium. This is clean install LOS with NanoOpenGapps and Magisk. I had cleared Dalvik, System, Cache, Data, Internal.
This is i guess a weird case of license verification fail. But then again it does recognize the donation just the features are greyed out. I have tried restarting and clearing cache of Store as well as Greenify packages.
@oasisfeng Need a little bit of help here.
Same problem here, just cleaned flashed rom.

I had the same issue. Installing an older version of the Google Play Store fixed it for me. There seems to be an issue with licensing in the current one. Version 10.6.30-all [0] [PR] 201585272 and older did the trick for me.

How do you do that? Becuase i flashed the lastest GApps so uninstalling updates would only take me back to 10.7.x
If you try to sideload, it wont let you and again for downloading Greenify you need Internet connection which also means Play Store will update itself.
Edit: I actually tried a Nandroid Backup one month old where the Pro features were already activated but now no incall sound for me ( This was not a bug in the build-worked when i created backup ). When the Play Store upgraded, the features were still available because Greenify stores a local key saying that this device is good to go.
ditto... same problem!! Hopefully Google address the bug soon and update Play Store. Rather than hunt around to install an old version I'm just gonna wait it out
Google has addressed the broken LVL issue. The latest OpenGapps releases are now bundled with version 10.6
Will be flashing it now an hope it solves the issue.
Edit : Works like a charm on version 10.6.
Thanks for the info on broken Play Store @Mo72

As is obvious by now, this box is known for Google Play issues. My box did come with regular Google Play Store as opposed to the TV version but it down right refuses to update to the latest version and if I try to install via APK I always get 'App not installed'. Since the device does have ROOT out of the box I took the opportunity to make things a bit more useable in that department by installing Magisk, and I have been able to manually update the Play Store to the latest version and it works just fine but I don't want to have to do it this way every time. The box can live with the Play Store being completely uninstalled using this method and I thought I'd try installing from scratch. Nope. It still gives me 'App not installed'. I've even tried manually creating the folders and moving the APK to /data/app/, setting the relevant permissions and ownership but still this was a no-go as when I restarted the device every change I'd made in there had been cleared. What else can I try?
android 10 doesn't let you modify the system partition period. the only ways to modify it are via magisk modules, flashing the whole rom with your mods included or maybe via TWRP (which we don't have).
I've noticed on this box that it doesn't like having it's system apps removed either, others have said the changes won't stick or you'll get a bootloop. freezing system apps does work however, I was able to freeze the ATV YouTube and install Vanced.
on the play store front I've not had too many problems other than paid apps not showing as paid for about 24 hours after a factory reset. I haven't checked what version it was on or whether it was latest, I'll go and look now.

It has actually been pretty bulletproof for me with regards to that. I am able to mount the system partition as R/W and swap out the Play Store APK with the latest version and set all the permissions and everything and it works just fine. It's just not an ideal way of doing things. What would cause this? All other APKs install and update just fine. The paid app thing happens only because the Play Store is out of date. Every BETA I am subscribed to is also stuck on 'Removing you from the beta'.
from the little I've read the makers of these boxes don't intend to do any maintenance or updates on their boxes, next year they'll bring out android 11 boxes that'll stay as they are more or less.
I haven't messed around with the two update apps don't want to start again from scratch. I'm thinking maybe one of them covers the play store.

Update apps? Play Store is supposed to update its self but it can't. Can't update via APK, can't install from scratch via APK, 'App not installed', 'Update failed' etc. There is a serious issue with the FW here and it doesn't affect a single other of my Android 10 devices. If you mean Aptoide and APKPure, they just download and execute APK files. Same results.
was thinking about the Local Update and Wireless update apps in the app draw, they can't both for firmware.
I think this is safe to call a forked version of Android, it's pretty much locked down to the way the want it, maybe they never intended the store to be updated independently of the whole rom.

Oh I see. Wireless update is essentially System Update. I'm not sure about the other. Perhaps it's like the old Backup & Restore thing the old boxes had that you needed to boot in to TWRP. I've only ever re-flashed it via PhoenixSuit and PhoenixCard.

try looking on APK mirror if it's a free app. maybe an older version will get you started. always compare file sizes with files from playstore just to be safe.
