Google Apps for Xoom - Xoom Themes and Apps

So I am running CM11 with 4.4 pico gapps package from Open Gapps. All of my gapps are downloaded from the Play Store with latest versions. Most of them work. However, I cannot get Google Duo or Google Maps to work at all. They force close as soon as they’re opened, often times as soon as the device boots up, also. I’ve tried alternate apps like Facebook Messenger for video calls and Waze for navigation. Messenger gives error message “Couldn't complete call: There is a call in progress. Please try again later" when trying to start a video call. Waze opens but the map stays blank. Again, these are the latest versions from Play Store. If anyone knows which versions of the 4 aforementioned apps will work on the Xoom running 4.4.4 or can provide APK for these I would be very grateful.

I've ditched all Google services on the Xoom. You just can't count on Google moving forward for this device anymore. For Waze, I'm using the old version 3.9.7.2.0 (from APK Mirror), which still runs well.

[Q] How to get Google talk to work kfhd7

I have a rooted kfhd 7. Play store working all other gapps working even voice. I have tried several different methods and versions of talk and it force closes every time. I have Google framework and sync. I'm lost here. If you need more info just ask. Gmail is working perfectly.

Some initial issues - play store not updating apps etc

What's with the mandatory 128MB update when you first boot the phone?
This thing runs HOT - 15 minutes and the back top of the phone is way warmer than my N4. Can't wait for devs to get kernel control apps going.......
GPS lock is FAAASSST. That was one of things I cared about. Much quicker than the N4.
LTE speed/signal seems low for where I am - map says I should be getting full connection (Denver area). But it works!
Volume is PITYFUL even at full! Hoping some FauxSound magic on this in the future.
Play Store Update Issues:
I have about 9 play store updates (Youtube, Google Earth, Twitter, TrustGo Antivirus) that all say 'update', but the store won't update them. It shows as downloading then nothing happens.
I'll call Google and ask about this, but clearly a bug!
I believe I've had that issue with apps not updating in the past...
I *think* I fixed it by deleting the Google Play data/cache.

Thanks for the reply
UPDATE:
A quick power down and reboot, and apps are updating just fine.
Sorry for the false alarm on the play store stuff.
The thing I found annoying was that it was auto installing apps I had installed across both my n4 and n7. I do understand that it was just looking at my account and installing the aggregate of installed apps. When I tried to remove them it tried to auto install the apps I didn't want on my phone TWICE more. It was like whack-a-mole.
Finally seems to have conceded that I actually do know which Apps I want on my phone..

Missing maps link

Maybe I'm going mad but I'm sure when I first used my Urbane there was a Google Maps app. However now Maps isn't in the app list. The only way I can get it up is to trigger a set of directions thorough "OK Google" . Does anyone have maps show in the list? (I.e next to Weather, Alarm, Settings, Google, Play Music etc)
No maps app here too.
Same here, but here's how I fixed it.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Google Maps. Then I resynced apps on my Android Wear app. I appeared as an option a min later!
I had to do the same thing with Google Music
Thanks. I tried uninstalling, and then reinstalling and resyncing, no luck.
I'm also missing other apps (I think) does Whatsapp, Ubur or Shasam have apps for wear? Hard to tell if I missing them or they just don't have a way to launch on the watch....
You need the latest version of maps and android wear. I removed the watch from android wear, reset the watch, paired them again, it worked. Also got an update that up to now it had been saying did not exist and a few other oddities fixed. I'm not sure why I didn't do this before, I suppose because I'm used to it being a bit of a chore to reset a rom on the phone and I need to recalibrate my thinking for the watch/android wear. It only takes a minute to get the reset going, check back in about 15 minutes to pair with phone, check back in after a while and its done. Knowing what I know now I'll likely do this every so often just to see what new apps will be pushed to the watch and if it will pick up an update.

Teclast X98 Air 3G (C8J7): for Chrome,Facebook, Firefox now crash to desktop at start

Got this table on stock 4.4.4 firmware. It is amazing how much it has endured, however a couple of weeks ago Chrome, Facebook and Firefox (from what I have tested so far) crash to desktop on open. OTOH Youtube, the stock browser ("Internet") seem to work perfectly!
I've restored factory defaults but the isssue persists. Any idea what might be wrong here? This is similar to what was reported at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74944248&postcount=1241
FYI, I have 2FA enabled on my Google account.
what happens when you factory reset, and reinstall as new device - creating a new Google account ?
I also have 2FA enabled. No Chrome issues
Thanks for the response mate. I used a different but existing google account, that did not have 2FA enabled. Unfortunately the result was the same.
EDIT: I neglected to add the following: on the first boot after factory reset and right after I configure the Google account, the system started updating various play store apps. It also indicated it wanted to auto-update the play store itself, but the process got stuck. I overcame the problem after resetting the play store, google play services and the google framework. After that the google play notice disappeared entirely! However, apps like youtube and chrome were succesfully installed (whereas, before the play store reset they wouldn't).
which device are you using ?
is it X98 Air iii ( M5C5 ) ?
It's in the thread title, Teclast X98 Air 3G (C8J7).
duh...my bad...
So you didn't install the kernel, right ? That's only for M5C5.
Something else to try : Install Chrome from apkmirror ?
Thanks, I'll try that.
if that _does_ work, at least we'll know it isn't related to Chrome, but more to the Google Play services.
Using a Chrome version dated from the start of April did the trick.
Is this related to GPS then? If so, how can I "attack" this problem?
good questions...i have no answers.
I wonder, does your "outdated" Chrome app now show up in your installed apps in Google Play ??
If yes, which version does Play think the Chrome app is ? Does it want to update the app ?
Yes it does and Play store tried to update it. Of course I've disabled auto update for it.
If you had the same model as I and Android 4.4 installed, it would be a nice idea to tell me the versions of Play Store, Google Framework and Play Store Services installed, to make a comparison. It still might prove useful.
FYI, I've also installed older Facebook, Messenger, Firefox versions and they play like a charm!
I'm on an M5C5 device (X98 Air iii ),
android 5.0,
rom v7.0_20150720
Google Play Services 12.6.88
Google Play Store 10.1.08
Google Services Framework 5.0.1-1602158
All apps are allowed to auto-update, in my setup.
So you have Lollipop installed. Is it a custom rom and if so, is it reliable?
There is a 5.0 version for the Air98 3g, perhaps I should try that.
it's the mirek190 rom v7... the software is about as reliable as the device will ever get.
I use it mainly as media consumption (Plex)...some funkyness, but it mostly works.
Well I'm having the same problem of chrome and firefox crashing at stating of app and I'm on stock firmware and ROM and have not done any changes. Running latest version of play store
What to do?????
Don't recall the actual site, but I downloaded older (April-dated) versions of firefox, chrome, facebook and installed them (after uninstalling the play store versions first). Worked just fine. Just make sure to disable auto-update for these apps.
Same here, i m on mirek 5.0 v7 rom ...
Is there anyone who got the solution of this problem...??

Camera App Not working, as well as google play services, and fast boot.

Alright so I just picked up a Xiao Mi 8 SE in China while on vacation and have run into a few problems. I was accepted unlock the device but when I enter fastboot while connected to the PC my phone turns black with a small text on the top left corner saying to press any button to shut off device. I also tried to install an official global rom since people have stated it was possible to do with out first unlocking it, but that failed as well. I tried to install google play services from the Mi App store but it wasn't there. So I tried some mirror apk sites to install a vpn and google play services. After "successfully" installing google play services, when I open up the google play store, or any other google app, it crashes immediately, Finally I just tried using the stock camera app, and it crashes 2 seconds after opening it. Is there something I'm missing? I had also just picked up a VIVO Nex with a Chinese ROM it worked fine with google services. I have no idea how to proceed from here. Any help will be appreciated.
Give it to me. Thanks.
