I recently bought an Honor 9 Lite.
I installed all my usual apps, however some of them won't open up on my Honor Lite. These apps worked perfectly fine on my older android phone.
The apps that won't even open up and crash are: Eurosport Player and Transport for Edinburgh (bus times/location app). The permissions for this app (such as location) are allowed.
Yesterday I tried a factory reset of the phone. I reinstalled the Eurosport player and it worked! Then all the automatic updates happened and now the Eurosport player won't even open.
I also tried clearing the cache/memory, but this doesn't help either.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have 8.0.0 android version.
Same issues
I'm experiencing similar issues with my apps since the recent EMUI update to LLD-L31 8.0.0 128(C432). Apps that previously worked perfectly well are either not opening at all (The Word for Today) or are not functioning correctly (Android Auto - which is no longer able to load up Google maps from within the app). I haven't tried all of my apps yet, but am really hoping for an imminent update that will fix these issues
The most recent version is .131, so see if you can update.. may already be fixed.

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...??
Today I upgraded to pie my p10 vtr l29 c432
Everything is fine and I have magisk too.
The problem is that for some reason after some reboot I started to notice that some Google bloat that I disabled like Google play music or video or drive became active without my consent.
Then I've installed yt vanced, of course I've disabled automatic updates of apps before.
Well again I started to feel internet sluggish and... Surprise.. My phone start to update all my app without my consent without automatic updates.
Is this normal? Or I have to worry?
I read somewhere dual apps can cause problems, so I deleted my only dual app on the phone (WhatsApp) and made sure that "user 999" is no longer there ("pm list users" shows only user 0). But the problem with Android Auto still persists.
It simply crashes after the initial configuration. Then subsequently every time I tap on the icon to run it, it crashes and quits right away.
I cleared data for both Android Auto and Google play services. Same problem.
I did some debloating when I started using the phone before installing Android Auto. Could this be the issue, that I debloated something that was essential to Android Auto's operations?
I also have Magisk running on the phone. Tried hiding Android Auto (Google Play Services is already hidden). Same problem.
Any help appreciated ! Running MIUI EEA 10.2.26 by the way.
Found the issue.
In app permissions I allowed the app to access calendar. But I have removed Google calendar from the system with adb tools (I use Outlook so Google Calendar becomes redundant). I guess Android Auto assumes Google Calendar is always there so it crashes when it is not found.
I disable the calendar permission and everything works now.
I have been reading the various threads and GitHub issues for popular custom AA apps and it seems nobody has really explained the real reason the apps are not working any more: any apps developed using an unofficial AA app SDK (aauto-sdk) OR using the internal AA APIs will no longer run (crash on start - the screen just blinks and goes back to AA launcher) because of this Exception:
java.lang.SecurityException: Wrong signature - go/gearhead-retail-device
There are temporary workarounds such as downgrading the Android Auto APK and preventing server-side config from downloading to device but currently, for normal non-rooted users which have auto-update on these apps won't work. Renaming their package names won't help either as they will still trigger the Exception when trying to show their UI on AA screen.
For AA developers: Google wants to limit the functionality of AA apps for various reasons, including safety while driving. The only official way to develop AA apps is to use the Android for Cars App Library. This library does of course not allow for low-level API access which custom AA apps relied on - no longer can you just manipulate your own Activity and draw normal Android UI. It also limits the amount of text/interaction permitted. This means any custom apps will have to workaround using the very limited APIs available in this library - a full redesign will be needed.
Perhaps load older version and either use a adb edit or a package disabler to kill updates on stock devices.
OTA updates is the first thing I lock down on a stock Android... once bitten, twice shy.
Any directions what someone which is rooted should do so, never need to update android auto? I have a dedicated phone for android auto in car. I use it only for this. But every now and then, android auto doesn't work and force you to update to last version. (in which last version custom apps doesn't work).
Some suggest use firewall for Google play services and android auto, to cut internet from those. I tried it but I'm not sure it's working..

You have to ID what are the offending update app/UID(s).
Google play Services can be temporarily disabled but it has dependencies like Gmail and certain 3rd party apps. The update app(s) may also be dependencies of this service.
Not a practical solution.
Each case is unique. Sometimes it's a force update to an app like in my Samsung's case, Wearables. The update screwed my Buds+ sound proper. Wearables checks for updates everytime it's used.
Solution: uninstalled new version, install older previous backup copy and use Karma Firewall* to ID the app's and/or UID when it connected to the internet.
Repeat above process as when it connected it again updated Except the second time around I firewall blocked Wearables (there are actually 2 that needed to be blocked) internet access.
Took close to an hour to troubleshoot, quit irritating.
Updates, destroyer of worlds
Yes, well... play with it
*Karma's valuable logging feature is blocked on Android 10 and higher. You can still ferret out the offending app/UIDs but it's harder
Actually app are working correctly on android 9\10\11 installed using aaad, kingInstaller or aaease. Unfortunately this error is showed on android 12 devices and can't find a workaround for now

As now on android 12 will work only with version 6.9xxxx44 but Google is start showing a notification to update, you can avoid it for now but I don't know how lot will work this trick. The other solutions is working with new version but is really annoying and practically you need to clear data of android apps every time you want to connect to the car and use custom app
Guys, I've a rooted Moto Z2 force, I'm plannig to use it as an android auto device only. AA is not available in the play store, but I can sidelode any version (I've downloaded the 7.2.62).
I'm tried a couple of tools, AA Tweaker, AA installer, etc, but so far only the cartube application is showing in the car screen (but e.g. fermata auto is not)
I'm planning to use the some official AA applications
- spotify, gmaps, waze, abetterrouteplanner
and would like to have
-youtube, netflix and maybe carscanner on the car screen (in motion as well for the passengers)
Please share you working setup, which tools and which versions (including android auto) are you using with android 9 - or point me to a thread where it is already discussed
Hi.
I have a non root samsung note 9(android 9) with wireless AA set up to aftermarket smart module connected to OEM headunit in my peugeot. Uninstalled AA. Installed screen2auto with AA Ease. Downloaded and installed AA 6.6xxxx version. Activated developer options and selected download from unknown sources. Playstore forced update on my phone to latest version 7.1xxxx but kept original settings and third party apps. Enabled wireless projections on settings and this works quite well provided bluetooth pairing. So can use voice control to for maps, music apps and receive and send messages.

Thank you very much, the android version was the problem I've installed AA version 6.9.613744 (instead of the latest 7.*) and everything started working instantly.
Sorry to bring this topic up again, the solution works for me for a few days, than AA is not showing the extra apps anymore. If I uninstall and install android auto again, it works again for a few days. I have no idea why, is there a blacklist AA downloads?

My samsung note 9 is non root. I installed as described above and still have apps on galaxy note 8(android 9) and note 9 ( recently updated to android 10). You can try clearing cache of AA. But you should read through screen2auto rooted thread as you will probably find solution and/or somebody will offer good solution.

Yes, Google blocked again all 3rd party apps with Android Auto 7.1.
With 7.1 I have the 3rd party apps for about 2 minutes. If I don't start Android Auto in this time, I have to clear data and cache of Google Play Services and Android Auto and do all the setup again. That means I have to do this before every car ride.
