Can't update themes and keyboard languages - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't change themes on Galaxy A20e.. It says there's an update available for Samsung Themes, but it doesn't do anything on tapping Update - it just reports error S2.
Also, I can't update or add keyboards (languages). Whenever I tap on the download icon on the languages list, it just doesn't do anything (i.e. immediately writes out "download cancelled" at the bottom).
Could all this be connected to Galaxy Store app, or is there another reason? In the beginning I denied its access to phone and contacts (as I don't really need/use it), but later on re-enabled. However, nothing changed - Galaxy Store app also reports that there's an update available, but it doesn't go past the update progress screen.
I've already tried force stop for Galaxy Store and Galaxy Themes, deleting their cache and data, starting the device in safe mode and trying to update those two there... still nothing changed.

Play Store "My Apps" Tab Won't Resolve

Hey guys, weird issue: my "My Apps" tab in the Google Play store won't show up. It just loads and loads and never appears. I also can't download new apps (they just "download" forever with zero progress), and I can't install them remotely from my desktop either.
I've tried wiping caches (all of em, many times, in many combinations), and factory restores -- those help for a while but the issue always returns. I've tried deleting my account and readding it, the works.
I upgraded to 4.3 by flashing the Nordic build, and then rooting that (unlocked bootloader). That's (as best as I can recall) when the issue arose.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Is there a best way to just completely zero out the tablet, and then flash fresh clean firmware (preferably that is rootable)?
Thanks a ton for any help, I'm really at a loss here.

[Gear S] pairing with your phone

Just I bought Samsung Gear S and I wanted to run (which seems to be the normal course of things )
I have a Galaxy S5 ROM including: Alexndr Cpd7 DevBase v3.3.
I installed Gear manager, no problem sparring phone with the watch and ran the manager - sought out his watch and appeared window "I join with Gear ...." and that all the fun is over. Whereupon the window hangs and end - it can not go on
I tested the connection on another phone: LG L2 - according to the handbook on xda downloaded the appropriate packages and everything installed. Gear manager is launched (of course the phone pairing) but is not a watch - you can not connect.
I have no idea - tell me what to do. Do you have any ideas?
Edit
Now I know that the problem lies with the ROM. I installed the original phone 4 a file ROM and joined up with a watch without a problem.
After the merger 4 updates installed ROM, which he downloaded system - I thought it would help.
Unfortunately, after restoring from the backup ROM Alexnder, it turned out that they still can not I connect with the watch.

My phone attacked by Addware

Hello Everyone,
Everytime I turned on mobile data or wifi, my phone started installing apps in background and advertisement prompt up on the main screen. App like adultVictoria, twitter (5kb), HD etc. installed as system app and I have to forced stop and disabled them because those apps are become system apps and I cannot uninstall it from my phone.
I was totally helpless and then I installed Kingo One click root.apk and uninstalled them successfully. But problem still persist. Suddenly my screen back to home screen and there are many box message of apps that says stopped working and I have to tap ok ok ok almost whole day.
I finally decided to wipe all data and partition and install custom ROM i.e. CM13 and accordingly I downloaded it. I tried to flash custom recovery in my rooted phone but unfortunately couldn't able to do it. Under default recovery system it says "failed to verify signature" etc. etc.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos i9082
Can anyone help me here?
Flashfy, ROM manager all apk failed to serve the purpose.

Google Account disappears, can't add back

Hey,
today I needed to turn off my phone to swap battery. On turning it back on, my Google account wasn't there anymore, a notification said "due to changes to your account you have to sign in again". But signing it just won't do it. It doesn't fail, I come to the accepting terms and conditions, but when accepting the app just closes, the account isn't created so it seems that whatever app is responsible for that just crashes for no reason without any notification. The strange things: in the process I can see only the arrow in the bottom right, not the words "next" or "accept" (at the last page), only when I tap on them I can see them. And I had no accounts.db under /data/system/users/0. Now I have that file via TB restore. And I now see, after reflashing my ROM (by wiping /system, cache and dalvik-cache in TWRP and flashing the ROM) that I also have under /data a system_ce (with accounts_ce.db) and system_de (with accounts_de.db and accounts_de.db-journal), but I don't know if I had them before the TB restore or the ROM reflashing (having english (US) and german (germany) as system languages).
No solution form anywhere else was helpful. I froze AdAway with TB, deleted /system/etc/hosts, deleted data from PlayStore and PlayServices with multiple reboots and the mentioned reflashing, nothing seems to help.
I'm running Emotion ROM based on CM 14.1 on my Note 4 N910F with latest modem and bootloader I can find. Since I don't know how far that could be ROM or CM related, I'm posting that problem here. I have absolutely no problems logging in with my account on my desktop PC via browser, even logging in on google.com from chrome on the phone is no problem. But filling in the infomation either initiated over system settings -> accounts or by opening PlayStore, I pass everything but the account is not under the accounts section and PlayStore would just open again with the login page.
Anyone any idea how to fix it? Here is a logfile of me trying to log in.
UPDATE: Just did a TWRP restore. Did not help! Going to ask Google meanwhile since it might not be a problem with my device...at least if I can find out where to do so.
PS: just looked into my account settings, it seems to recognize that I log in to my device, but that's it. Disconnectiong the device from there and trying again also doesn't work.

Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 & Lineage 14.1 problems and questions …

Hi,
is there a pissibility to install TouchWiz launcher on Lineage 14.1 SGS2 ?
I ask, because i have many problems and missing features on LA 14.1, and i think this might be a problem of the Trebuchet launcher.
1. Missing Samsung Driving Mode
2. USB-PC connection is always at "charging" (doesn't stay at MTP)
3. GPS doesn't show the status, if it is on or off, or searching for a singnal (it only shows up when requested by an app)
4. Menue Button shows launcher settings instead of System settings
5. Changing / swiping home sites stops at the first and the last site. (no endless search-change in one direction possible)
6. there is no "nerby" connection possible. DNLA, Chromecast, NAS, and BT doesn't appear in the OS native media players. (like it was in OS 4.12)
7. The OS integrated screensharing doesn't work. It just connects for a second to the chromecast device and then it closes.
8. Email attachements (e.g. WAV) doesn't open. Error message: "no app installed to open" And there is no choice to choose an app manually. But i have many apps installed that can play WAVE.
I think this is related to the Trebuchet launcher?
Is there another launcher possible that fixed all these issues?
Tasker command Problems (E-Robot):
9. Can't unlock display via Tasker
10. Some events doesn't work, e.g. "App started / App opened / App get in focus / App closed" etc.
Other:
11. When i try to overwrite some app-setting files in root directory, the app says "no such file", or "permission denied". But the file has the same permissions as the orig file before.
(in one of 50 trials the files where accepted without an error message, but i don't kow why, or what i done right)
12. When I insert the SD card from the phone to the PC, the Win-PC says the SD card is locked. But it isn't! So I must do error-check and correction every time, or sometimes new-format the SD card.
13. Is it possible somehow to change/rename the automatic code names of the internal storage and external Sd card? "4B95-09FD" and "410E-190C" is so ugly, and i can never remind which is what. Why are the developers doing such ugly ****???
14. Since i have installed and deinstalled the "iPlay Music" app (3 Days ago) the playstore always opens itself one time each hour and prompts me to install the player. How can i stopp the playstore to bother me with this installation prompt?
15. When the screen is waked up (e.g. by a call, or message) it keeps awake and does not lock again, sometimes.
16. The soft key bottons in display-off mode are always shining or blinking. Why??
Are there any solutions to any of these issues?
Maybe a Nougat Rom with touchwiz?
My old 4.12 stock rom was really more easy to handle. I miss it :crying:
Best,
Rooster
