So there are a few things that I can't seem to get fixed up. First,with the Google keyboard, I don't get the stock emojis, only these weird LG ones that I don't care for. I can't seem to get them to go away even after erasing the stock lg keyboard.
Second, I can't get the 'Now on Tap' or 'Ok Google' from any screen to work, regardless of what I try. I only have the option to do it from the home page or Google app.
Anyone else having these issues and know how to fix em?
I'm on 47A, rooted, twrp installed, and Xposed framework installed.

I would post this in the Dev forum, but seeing as I never post on here I can't yet access that side of the world. I flashed the latest version of MacROM just a little while ago, no Glass or Chrome, just MacROM, with ADW as home launcher because I have EX backed up with Titanium. I have never had this happen before so don't really know what's going on here.... I had Google Maps DL from the market as I was setting the phone up, and then downloaded Titanium. I had a previous backup of Maps and did not want it to conflict with the new DL, so I deleted the old backup before I restored my old User Apps with Titanium. There's that conflict done away with, now can anyone tell me why Google Maps will not stop downloading repeatedly from the market?? When I try to click on the download bar in my Status bar, it says it cannot be found, when I try to kill the market with ATK, it keeps going, I try to kill it with Optimizer, it keeps going. At any point it will also say "Google Maps, Google Maps" then the percentage bar.........any ideas on why or maybe how I can stop it? I'm gonna reboot my phone and it may work but either way I just wanted to get some feedback. And yes, I did all the wipes. Used Clockwork for the flash.
....
Just figured I'd update from yesterday and say that after like an hour, all the downloads of the app finally stopped and gave me a failure notification. So I went back and re-downloaded Google Maps from the market and everything went like it should. App works fine, didn't find any bugs, but it still has me scratching my head about what happened at first. I'm bout to flash over to the updated MacROM or aosp gin tazz since there are some freshies out. So I just wanted to make sure that nobody else had this issue with any ROM, or with any other apps, more than likely gapps?
I can't even get passed the setup wizard on MR6. Just when I press finish, the wizard stop working and brings me back to active my phone. I press skip there but nothing else happens.
that's weird did you do all the wipes? I was without a computer for a couple days so I'm bout to flash MR7 because my download messed up and it was a bad .zip on my phone. I had flashed MR6 before this past time and it worked perfect so I can't figure out what was wrong.
Just flashed randomblame's excellent JELLYTIME ROM on my Inspire. It's working great, but like so many others I've been bitten by the paid app bug in the Play Store encryption process. I'm looking for a work-around, but there doesn't seem to be much out there, or I'm missing it.
As far as widgets go, HD Widgets responded well to the "back up, delete and restore" treatment. But neither of my preferred keyboards (SwiftKey or Thumb Keyboard) will persist after a reboot. I tried the process mentioned above, but keyboard still reverts to stock. I'm using a free version of another keyboard app, and it does persist, but I'd really like to find a better solution.
3 questions:
1. Is there a workaround to get these keyboard apps to persist? I've found nothing, and I'd rather not go through the whole installation process every time I reboot.
2. If not, is there a way to use Tasker to install after reboot? I'm not really knowledgable about Tasker, and this seems to be beyond it's capabilities, but I'm not sure.
3. I've read that Google disabled encryption in the JB Play Store. What does that mean exactly? That apps purchased from JB Play aren't encrypted? If that's the case then they should persist correct? But I have, I think, the JB Play Store, and when I installed SwiftKey from Play, it still doesn't persist. Maybe I don't actually have JB Play. Or maybe Play remembers that my phone was originally Gingerbread and it won't let me install JB apps. I don't know.
Any suggestions?
P.S. Just checked. Along with JELLYTIME I flashed JB gapps zip found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796675
Looks like the right one to me. Hmm...
Another P.S. When I search Play Store for Google Wallet on my laptop, it tells me it's not compatible with my phone. So I'm thinking Play doesn't realize I'm running JB. Is there a way to fix this?
Has anyone had any luck with getting the new Google Experience Launcher to work on stock Jellybean? I can get the new Search to work and the "OK Google" hot words. When I try to select the GEL as my launcher, I get an error the "Google Services has Stopped" or something along those lines. I know I could just try Houstonn's full KitKat, but I'm not ready to try that. Has anyone gotten GEL to work on stock and if they did, did they do anything special to get it to work? I've tried the language changes and reinstalled the new Search, Play Services, etc.

Same issue here. Most likely related to a missing lib file I think. Thats how I got it to work on 4.2 rom once.
Morning! I flashed AOSP to my Nexus6P yesterday and it's a fantastic ROM and has no issues. My issue here seems to be when I flashed Gapps. All Google apps flashed perfectly on my device, with the exception being Gboard. While it functions, I cannot access any of the settings; every time I click one it throws back the error "Gboard has stopped". Additionally, if I try to add a Gboard overlay in Substratum, an error pops up that the asset cannot be found, or something of that sort...tried it on all of my packs, same thing. I have a feeling my phone doesn't recognize Gboard as actually being installed. When I look for it in Play under My Apps, it isn't there.
Any advice? Thanks!
Hmm I would try uninstalling it from the settings application or disabling it, go into google play and get gboard from there.

No option to uninstall. If I view it in Settings>Apps, it says com.android.imputmethod.latin, where I think in the playstore it has . google in the name. Maybe that's what's screwing it up? When I view it on the playstore there isn't even a button for "open".
I'm having the same issue... Tried everything, but didn't help. Can someone help?

Might I ask what you've tried? It's driving me up a wall, and there's literally nothing about this anywhere.
I got it to work, finally. I had to do factory reset, wipe everything, and then install it through AROMA, don't do stock, I don't believe it is actually gboard but rather google keyboard (on stock) which I don't even think exists anymore.
Google Lens is already on the phone, but there's still the Google Lens app in the store that you can install. There's also GPay already on the phone, but some apps tell me to install Google Pay from the store.
Why? Does having double the apps screw with anything in the long run?
Maybe updates? I would go with the factory load versions unless they don't work well.
For Gpay, the one on the phone is the old version. They are pushing everyone to upgrade to the new version, that is the one in the store.
I don't use Gpay. The worst that will likely to happen if you don't upgrade is eventually it will stop working. You could get into issues with Playstore which demands updating. Playstore is so on my bad side, I rarely use it anymore.
I use the factory load versions for most of the Google apps especially Gmail and Gmaps as the update's UI's* sucked. Some of the Google system apps are factory load too because the update caused issues like excessive battery consumption*. So it is after 2 years, current load is over 1.5 yo, still fast, stable and user friendly.
You should experiment to see what works best for you. Just be aware that updates (especially firmware) can break just as easily as they can fix devices.
*Samsung seems to modify these and many times the factory load version works best. Or perhaps it's just the oldest version before Google screwed them up more
I installed the Google Assistant app just so I could add it as an icon to my home screen in Nova Launcher.
It's for people who root and want specific apps installed without installing the background/integration stuff.
