I have Oneplus n10 unlocked/global
With magisk 24.1
No rom(s)
Not sure what Magisk module caused this issue. My guess was MicroG-Gapps.
After a few reboots Oneplus launcher (and third party launchers) keep stopping
I keep getting XYZ keeps stopping (Weather, Google, Oneplus Account, Duo, Maps, Youtube, Google Fi,)
After a few mins of constantly tapping close app it seems that Malware-bytes keeps opening,.
I cannot load my icons/homescreen
I can sometimes get into settings via drop down notifcation bar and clicking on the gear icon.
I can get into apps and open a few apps from there.
As soon as malware-bytes starts opening itself it becomes a tug-of-war.
Say I get to open magisk malware-bytes auto opens every few sec and sometimes will stop for maybe 2mins.
I have to go back to Settings>apps>magisk>open and act quicky before malware-bytes opens again and takes me away from previous app.
I have TWRP 3.5.2_10-1_eduardoa3677 installed with a few backups pre crash. Backups do not repair this issue TWRP cannot load/access SDcard or OTG/USB
I have gone into filemanager (TWRP) and removed MicroG-Gapps obviously still everything is still crashing.
My guess is everything is just corrupt.
I was able to disable all Magisk Modules.
Any advice on restoring apps?
At this point I am leaning twords flashing DerpFestR Rom?
Edit: Reinstalled Microg-Gapps that has stopped the constant apps crashing. I cannot open anything that uses googleplay services / google. I might try to install Gapps From androidfilehost or maybe from a rom forum on XDA. hopefully that will reset google services?

Hi - So I have this issue where opening google maps crashes back to desktop. The interface opens, the place where the map is stays blank, and boom, crash to desktop. Of course this means navigation, places also do not work as intended. Ironically other mapping apps including locus (which uses the google maps api) work just fine.
Now, I tried:
- Deinstalling via titanium backup and reinstalling from market
- Factory reset THEN reinstall the whole rom (cognition)
Still not working. Looks to me like another app conflicts with it. I have 205 user apps. I'm not going to be able to take one out a time and test.
I tried reading from the catlog via system tuner. Unfortunately all it says in there is that maps crashed (oh really?? ) and not much else.
I guess my questions is, where can I find logfiles, or anything else that would help me discover which application is crashing my map tool.
So I cut off the wake up path for a few apps when they opened Google play store for inapp purchases.
I later realised this broke it for all apps and not just the apps I cut off the wake up path to. After doing this I can no longer access any kind of in app purchases in all apps.
I degreenified Google play store instead of reattaching the wake up path. That didn't fix it, I couldn't find Google play store in the hibernated apps or anywhere to reattach the paths.
I disabled the xposed module, uninstalled greenify and this still didn't fix it, none of the apps are able to open the in app purchase window.
I know this might be a strange problem but any help would be really appreciated since the only option I see now is to wipe/flash the Rom again.
Here's an example, not all apps show an error they just get stuck in the loading screen when accessing any in app option.
Example
Well, tried to reinstall greenify, doesn't work now, have the donation package installed, no network problem just the Same problem as all the other apps.
I think that the only option is to wipe and reinstall the ROM. I once had a similar issue where Play Store simply vanished and Google Play Services refused to function. I did a wipe and nandroid install which solved the issue. All other attempts failed.
Greenify should have re-attached all cut-off paths before de-greenify an app.
Try removing /data/system/packages.xml (backup first!) and reboot.
WARNING: To anyone coming here with a more recent version of Android (Android 11 in my case) -
DO NOT TRY TO DELETE /data/system/packages.xml
Will effectively reset the phone and remove ALL APPS on reboot!
DO NOT TRY TO RESTORE THE OLD PACKAGES.XML FILE EITHER! Everything including SystemUI will crash and you'll have no other option than factory reset!
Hello.
So, I got greenify. I always thought it was a free app, but for the first time this week I really started using it and when I tried to hibernate some pre-loaded (system) apps, it didn't let me without the donation package. I thought "ok, maybe it's better. Paid apps generally know what they are doing".
But to my surprise, apps like YouTube, even Samsung's "Clock" and others, keep coming back, and even non-pre-loaded apps (such as facebook) do not stay in hibernation (at least, I always see them under the "Will hibernate in a few minutes when screen"... by the way, "when screen" what ?). So I always have to manually hibernate apps I open and use, and some keep waking up on their own anyway (when greenify promises they won't, that one has to manually execute apps for them to wake up, then that they will auto-hibernate once closed). I might be actually disappointed in paying for this. It's not working, and I turned greenify "on" in "accessibility" too.
Also, I don't want to risk flashing Xposed to still be able to get notifications when I already use TWRP and SuperSU (and my ROM is official, yet customized by myself, since I uninstalled all bloatware, then just backed up the new ROM with TWRP and reinstalled it), plus, Xposed says it is compatible with "6.0", so Idk if that includes Android 6.0.1 or not. But I wish Greenify's devs had been smart enough not to kill every push notifications.
Any greenify experts out there whom know how to finally make auto-hibernation work by itself, and make apps like Facebook quit being stubborn ?
Any light with getting notifications still too ?
Thanks in advance.
Apps that wake up on device's boot:
Camera
Clock
Featured (apps) *widget
Email (Samsung app)
Facebook
Galaxy Apps
Gallery
Gmail
Play Music
Google+
Hangouts
Internet (Samsung's browser)
Maps
Memo (Samsung)
Messenger (Facebook)
My Files (Samsung)
Opera Max
Photos
Recarga Certa (Samsung's app for adding creds to SIM)
Smart Manager
Theme Store
Twitter
Video (Samsung)
YouTube
Some of these are the ones that keep waking up during operation (not just on boot), such as Facebook, Clock and Opera Max.
Some very weird things started happening on my phone earlier today. It's a Nexus 5X, running 8.0 Oreo, with the October security patch. I'm not rooted and I'm careful about what I install. The phone is fairly new, from this summer.
I will begin with describing what I did in the hours before this started. I can think of two things that possibly could have started it:
1) Two of my Facebook contacts sent malicious links to me an hour before. It looked like Youtube videos but was not. I did NOT open any of these links, knowing directly they were harmful (not sure if you can be affected by just receiving them, not clicking on them?). I received them in the Messenger Lite application (an official app from Facebook with scaled-down functionality).
2) A few hours before the Facebook links, I sideloaded an APK containing the new Pixel Launcher. I got the APK from Android Police/APK Mirror.
Can't attach links, but Google for: Hands-on with the updated Pixel Launcher, including the new Pixel 2 features [APK Download]
The APK was working fine and nothing seemed odd with it (I used the launcher for a few hours). As long as Android Police know what they uploaded, this shouldn't be the cause for my problems. I bet on Facebook Messenger instead. (People that click such malware links typically get their Facebook accounts hacked, however my account seems fine and my account didn't spam others with the same link. I did not change password or did anything else to "recover" my account yet).
So what happened after this on my phone?
Here is the first thing I noticed. I open Play Store to install updates. It turns out I have one update pending, it's called BankID. This is a major Swedish app used by nearly every smartphone user in the country, and it's for signing into government websites, bank websites, insurance company websites, and much more. When I click update in Play Store two things happen almost instantly:
1) Six pictures are downloaded from Messenger Lite to my phone. That makes no sense, how could clicking a button in Google Play trigger something to happen in Messenger Lite? In fact I tried it three times, with the same behavior every time. (Well, actually opening the Messenger Lite photo album, there are only photos there I already downloaded, so nothing new seems to be added there - but the photos were probably re-downloaded I believe).
2) The BankID update downloads to 100 % (the downloading takes a little longer than expected), then it halts and does nothing, i.e. it's not installing. No error message, it just stops there. I can choose to abort and try again, which I do three times or more, with exactly the same behavior.
Also, I now notice Play Protect hasn't run for two days, but when I try to run it, it seems to be down. After ~30 seconds of scanning it says "App verification temporarily down". "App verification temporarily down" could very well be connected with the halted update I just described? It still says it hasn't run for two days after this.
When I experiment, I notice other things that are very weird indeed.
1) Notifications in Gmail, Snapchat and possibly other apps aren't coming through. By opening the apps, I can sync manually.
2) When I move a file to a new folder using the Downloads app (Files app, stock one) I get a error message saying the move operation failed. This also triggered the photo notifications from Messenger Lite (same behavior as described above, with six photos). However, after a while the moved pictures are indeed in the right folder, even though the error message saying otherwise.
3) After some time I remove "app data" for the Google Play app. When I open it after that, there are now three app updates pending (e.g. Google Wifi also). But the same behavior occurs, when I try to download one or all of them, I get the Messenger photo notifications and the updates halt at 100 % without installing. So the BankID app - which could be targeted by attackers for obvious reasons - could just be a coincidence. It could have happened with any app I suppose, this was the only one pending right then. But still, why couldn't Play Store detect other pending app updates until I refreshed it the way I did? Was Play Store blocked from connecting to Google (or forced to connect to some other server, perhaps?).
What did I do after all of this?
I uninstalled three apps:
-Facebook Lite
-Facebook Messenger Lite
-Pixel Launcher APK
However the uninstall process was very odd. A process called "Package Installer" had a notification saying "Uninstalling Lite" and "Uninstalling Messenger Lite". It didn't seem to be working, it was stuck after some time. I restarted my phone and the apps seem to be gone now, at least they aren't listed in Settings --> Apps. So the uninstall process was successful I suppose, even though it didn't seem to work.
After I restarted my phone I also noticed:
-When I install Messenger Lite from Play Store now, it's easy to uninstall it the way it should be - in mere seconds.
-When I open Play Store, updates are now installing fine. Play Protect is also scanning fine now.
Everything looks back to normal now. But I'm not trusting my device. I'm gonna factory reset it. Before I do, I wonder:
-Can I feel safe the wipe would erase whatever malware I might have had on the phone?
-Is there something I could do to let us know what caused this? Upload a log here somehow?
The only piece of advice I have received as of now is: "Try restarting in safe mode, installing some AV software, and generally looking for suspicious processes." I haven't done that yet, would it still be a good thing to do? Must I install AV software before rebooting into safe mode, or could I install it directly from safe mode? (App suggestions, AV software?).
Usually I'm very careful and security-minded. I haven't had something like this happen before. So I'm very intrigued and mad about this. I'm gonna change my Google account and Facebook account passwords later on I think (I already have 2-factor authentication enabled).
One last thing: When I install Pixel Launcher on my non-rooted phone, it's not running as a system app if my understanding is correct. (At least it shouldn't be). But none the less, when I wanted to uninstall it I had to go into Settings --> Apps and tap "Show system apps" to find it in the list. Is that normal? Perhaps it doesn't mean anything, I just want to know.
Thanks for your advice in advance. Anything else to add? What should I do know? All you might have to say is appreciated.
Come on now guys, someone must be able to help?
If I factory reset the device, will it be clean? I didn't mess with custom ROMs, root, the bootloader or something else. (I suppose the bootloader is locked).
When activated Google assistant interrupts constantly, as often as every couple of seconds sometimes. I have tried the advice from every thread that I can find on the subject, but nothing works.
When disabled I then get constant pop ups of the notification prompting me to turn it back on!
I have a Xiaomi MI9 running android 10, but it doesn't have the normal menu that is present on the phones used in all the articles or videos showing how to be rid of google assistant. So for example on my phone the google app does not appear in the app manager list, and nowhere can I find the 'default apps' option.
I even tried - as suggested by some - installing Amazon Alexa as the assistant app, but there's no way to toggle between them and I still get pestered all the time but the google app, disabled or otherwise.
I am ready to consider any option, getting of the MIUI, rooting the phone, setting it on fire, whatever I need to do to be rid of this issue, It's making my phone unusable.
Please help!
