google goggles - what is google doing

???
just tried to load & install newest update of google goggles - install failed "insufficient storage available"....
running CM 4.2.9.1.....
does that mean google goggles "tries" to install itself into internal storage?
does that mean google found a way to circumvent apps2sd?
wtf

I didn't have any issues installing it. It didn't install on my G1's internal storage which currently has 79.52MB available.

weird...
just to check what is going on (whether something really wrong on my side), i installed another app (backgrounds), and the installation went fine.
another person in the market comments reported the same issue

I'd check your A2SD was actually working It might be installing as a system app, I'm not sure, and I don't know if your system apps are in sd\app_s or in system\app.

it gets more weird... i just checked.
even if google goggles wants to install itself into the internal phone storage, there is still 59.73MB free...
i don't get it

question:
did you all try to install the latest update?

I use CM 4.2.9.1 as well and did not have any problems upgrading to Goggles 1.0.1.
Does "adb logcat" report anything interesting?

... that's the first time this happened to me

did a complete reinstall of CM ROM, etc., but still the same problem.
weird
next CM update i will wipe then it may work.

I search the file .apk (goggles 1.0.1). Thanks

I had this issue onCM4.2.9.1 as well but got around it by uninstalling 1.0.0 and installing 1.0.1. It didn't use any internal memory either.

There's your problem. Uninstall Goggles and try installing it again from the Market. If you get the same error, do this:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
rm -rf /data/data/com.google.android.apps.unveil
and then try installing it again.

Can't say for sure, but somehow the permissions on that folder were different from what the app required. This can sometimes happen if you originally install the app manually (e.g. downloaded the APK from somewhere) instead of directly from the Market.

I search apk file (goggles v1.0.1)

This happens to me every once in a while. I usually just reboot and try the install again, and it works.

well i didn't, but i did try to uninstall Amazon MP3 manually (via SU File Management System) - i might have hit the wrong file and messed up the permissions folders...
anyway, it works now

other people running 4.2.9.1 are seeing the same thing. it isn't google's app.

[Solved] Play services update too big?

Hello
My only phone, the N1 is driven by ev_passion_nightly-2014.08.17. Thanks to Mounts2SD I thought storage capacity limits shouldn't bother me in future: Internal memory says 182 MB free, SD card 2.6 GB free (it's a 4 GB card).
This week Gmail updated to 5.0 - with this update comes the need to update google play services (6.1.88 (1557022-034)). I wasn't able to update (tried play store and .apk) the services due to "Not enough memory available"-Error.
Is anybody experiencing the same?
Regards

Yes, I just tried to update and it also failed due to "insufficient storage available". I did a backup of the old version and unistalled it. After that reinstalling from the Play Store worked fine.
I had a similiar issue with Dropbox last week though and just uninstalling it wasn't enough. I still got "ISA" error when trying to install from store again but installing the apk (copied from another device) went well.

I was just able to uninstall the updates of play services (now I'm on 4.0.34) a full uninstall doesn't seem to be possible that easy. Unfortunately the "ISA" error remains

No Superuser access? Which ROM?

ev_passion_nightly-2014.08.17 - I just don't know how to do it

So if you have Superuser you can use Link2SD to freeze/uninstall any app.
Just make sure that you cancel the file system selection dialog (ext2/ext3/ext4/...) because you are already using Mounts2SD. Even without the linking feature it's a great app manager.
Grant Superuser to Link2SD so you can manage all apps. Search for Google Play services in the list, then press and hold it, choose "Uninstall".
Installing it from Play Store should work again.
If not, download it from APKMirror. I checked the MD5 so it's legit.

Thanks, uninstalling worked now. Installation however still isn't working. APK still complains about storage, and Play Store can't be accessed - it stops at an account selection popup.

Are you sure that Mounts2SD is working correct? What does "Storage Threshold" say? Which content types are "green"?
Try to "Clear all app caches" with Link2SD and set "Install location" to "Automatic" in the settings.

Mounts2SD should work correctly (see attachments). I've cleared the app cache and set location to automatic. "ISA"-Error is still present.

Yes, Mounts2SD seems to be fine. It's strange though that your error still persists when mine was gone after that.
Are these directories still present? You can check it with ES File Explorer or any other file manager with root access.
/data/data/com.google.android.gms
/data/app-lib/com.google.android.gms-1
What if you try to install the previous version?

/data/data/com.google.android.gms is gone, the other on is still present. Installing the previous version doesn't work too (ISA-Error).

Rename it (to something like com.google.android.gms.old) and try to install again.

After renaming installation of the new version was possible and Gmail 5.0 is running. Thanks a lot for your help!

Can't install sony apps on Cm12.1 (aicp)

Hi everyone,
I would like to install sony apps on my Xperia SP running aicp (no tangerine kernel). Problem is, apks won't install (app cannot be installed).
As far as I learned, it is because you have to disable signature verification, which I tried thanks to the thread on sont cross device development and with lucky patcher.
The two mehthods above had failed. When I restarted my device with the modified services.jar or the patches, it rebooted, started, then kernel adiutor says "applying settings on boot". When it finishes, device restarts again and keeps restarting until i delete lucky patcher or reinstall the original services.
now my question is, do you guys know a fix for this? Is it kernel's fault? Should i download tangerine? Is it because of kernel adiuitor? Are there other ways to install on cm?
Please respond, and thank you for reading!
Kind regards,
Deleunes254

did you try to push the app into system with the right permissions ?
or search for something called universal apk for music or album or movies on google

im using each and every sony app working fine (latest)
on aicp r4 ..

Got the music app working now....just pushed the apk in system>app with correct permissions and boom....started working

Hey! Can any one test this zip. Just flash this in recovery. I haven't tested cause my phone is in service centre (slipped from my hand).
After flashing see if music is compatible in play store or can be installed manually.
Please backup ur rom before flashing.
Please report if it works.

You don't need to reflash the ROM to remove system apps. Either go into the /system/app folder with a file explorer with root permissions & delete the apk or folder containing the apk or use something like Sys app remover to get rid of it. Just tried installing Music via adb and although I was successful, the bloody app refused to start. You know the standard Android "unfortunately, app has stopped working blah blah" nonsense. Used ES File Explorer to remove it.
Also dirty flashing probably won't help since it leaves what you installed as it is and you installed these apps. So either do a clean installation or remove them like I mentioned.

You mean just copy paste the apk in system/app folder with ES and change permission to rw-r-r? Did that and also tried it with adb but no luck. Same old "unfortunately, music has stopped" crap. Might have to try the other way now - flash the ported apps and update them via playstore.
Is it working for you properly? From where and which version of Music did you install?

Certain apps don't work from google play?

Does anyone have any issues with certain apps from the play store that just crash when opened? Apps like IMDB, google Inbox, Google contacts just crash when they are opened. Why is that? I am running the google now launcher with typical root, play store setup etc.

yes I had an issue downloading facebook messenger app.. it crashed.. I downloaded it for Amazon store and it worked perfectly from there.. I am sadly using 5.1.1.. with Play Store installed via adb..

Inbox is a known problem, was mentioned on threads about installing the play store.
Google contacts works on mine though, though maybe I installed it through gapps.

Well thats the problem I am having, I can't update services because that runs through the Play store, and I can't log into the play store so I can't update. I am getting the message about the services being outdated but I can't do anything as it just redirects me to the failed play login. I have no idea what version of Play store this is, its just whatever was pushed via the zip file. I am going to do a factory reset and try again.
For the record, did you do this on 5.1.1. or did you do this on 5.0.1 and then update?

I updated via OTA to 5.1.1 then installed play store via adb.. I suggest that you uninstall all the four apps of google that the zip file installed which are Google Play Services.. Google Services Framework.. Google Accounts.. and Google Play Store.. then install them again via the same adb then reboot.. that's what I did actually.. I hope this will help..

Someone in another thread told me to try the Amazon app store version of IMDb if I was using the stock rom. I tried it and it works perfectly. I did have to unistall the Google version before the Amazon one would install. It's worth a try with some of the other apps to see if it works for them too.

I'm running Fireos 5.01
Rooted with google play services installed.
I have removed all the bloat suggested and don't intend to use any amazon apps.
In any case, the two problems i have are slightly strange.
1. I can't seem to install any .apk that doesn't come from google play store (I have Dev options opened an unknown sources checked)
2 I Can't add any widgets to my Home screen, when i try the widgets just disappear.
None of these two problems are show stoppers for me and I have all the removed .apks uploaded to mega in case i find i need any of them.
Has anyone else seen this?

To get widgets to work, I had to make my launcher (Apex) a system app. I tried titanium backup first, but it seemed to have trouble doing it. I finally downloaded an app called /system/app mover from Google play store and it worked. I can add widgets now.

Thanks for the information s14sh3r.
Sorry for the late reply
However I already had Titanium backup installed so i thought i would try to see if i have the same problem with TB as you.. sure i did it hang then locked me out of the launcher a reboot brought it back.
So i headed over to the market and picked up system app mover and run that after installing busybox.
Funny thing was, it was already marked as a system app... errr I guess TB almost made it happen any idea's i do have another launcher available also i have a pro copy of Apex so would i need to make the pro key and the widgets app, a system app.
Update
I got it working by getting "system app mover" to move the app back to where is was, I rebooted then i made it a system app once again,
Rebooted and selected "Apex launcher" and Bingo!
I have access to widgets again
Thanks for your help s14sh3r.

Happy to hear you gt it working. One thing I've noticed is I seem to have to reboot more to get thinhs to work. Considering how cheap the tablet is, I can live with that :laugh:

I have a problem with Instagram after I installed latest CyanogenMod rom.
From the Play store it's written: " Your device is not compatible with this version" (it's translated from italian,not really sure if it's 100% right ).
Before I rooted my device in order to install Cyano rom,I had the original firmware with Play store installed and Instagram was not only avaiable but worked smoothly.
Any idea of how to fix it?
BTW...I tried to get back to the original firmware following the related tutorial but there's no way to make the device "visible"to the pc via usb through the embedded recovery mode (quite strange because I can flash without problem TWRP recovery using adb tool by cmd line).
So...I'm in trouble even if I want to get back to the original firmware...any help will be (again) really welcome .
Thanks in advance.

Mostly the advice is the same sideload the app if play store won't let it install.
You can use this to go back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/howto-install-fireos-5-1-1-root-gapps-t3265594
If you do go back to 5.0.1 in TWRP by renaming the 5.0.1 bin to end .zip remember to stay offline until you've turned OTA off unless you don't want TWRP any more.

Thanks a lot for your advice...I I'll try it later ?.

Well,finally I fixed it simply downloading the apps in .apk files into the device and installing them directly from it,easier than I thought .
Thanks a lot for helping me.
