Now I might be missing something painfully obvious here but whenever I try to update my phone with a new custom rom I get to a point in the initial setup where everything craps out and android says that the system UI has crashed. I just can't do anything from that point on.
For the record I am DOWNGRADING from 6.0 marshmallow to 5.1 lollipop. The os boots and I can get to the setup, it just crashes when I try to access the actual system UI.
Also yes I do have openGapps installed (although I'm using the pico package. Do I need a package larger than the pico package to avoid this crash?)
Hi All,
I was running CM12.1 on my HTC One M7 and I saw there was a new update (OTA) so I've downloaded it and installed it from the recovery. Afterwards it was a CM13 update but it went well (a "dirty flash") but as soon as CM booted the first time I did get a lot of "play services is stopped" errors. So I thought, Gapps is not compatible so I've downloaded the latest version from http://opengapps.org, the nano version. Flashed it, cleared the dalvik cache and rebooted.
Now the Google Play store is working again and I won't get any "play services is stopped" messages but other Google apps like Gmail and Youtube crashes directly when I open them. Maybe I've to try the "stock" version of Gapps?
Any thoughts?
Try a clean install, thats what you should always do when installing a major update.
I'm afraid I've too... but it's a OTA update (CM Nightly) so I've to pay more attention on what updates I install and won't install, didn't see it was CM13. Now trying to install the stock version of Gapps (with all the apps instead of the nano version). I hope it works, don't have the time to do a clean install with backups and stuff now.
I've installed the "stock" version of GApps and now everything is working fine.
I cant seem to find a reliable gapps for CM12.1, SlimLP and Resurrection Remix. I have tried Dankomans slim mini, TkGapps, OpenGapps pico, nano, full, they all install just fine but then when the system boots and i try to login to the play store to update my apps they all start 505ing and its usually just google apps and services, i seem to be able to install other non google apps just fine.
If someone could help point me in the right direction i'd really appreciate it, ive been flashing for hours, im at my wits end. :crying::crying::crying:

Open GAaps arm/5.1/nano works fine. Your problem lies elsewhere. Be sure to do a full wipe and flash GAaps concurrent with rom. Leave FlashFire defaults alone.
I tried to use Open Gapps and it didnt work for SlimLP, so I installed CM12.1 with Open Gapps, I am getting the same problems with CM12.1, So i said lets try another rom, I installed Resurrection Remix, same problem, so i tried tkgapps same thing. why is it 505ing with every gapps package and rom that i Use? is there something im doing wrong? Perhaps the newer builds on open gapps have probelms? Should i try an older build? I am using flashfire 0.53
Here is what i do when flashing list order first to last:
1. Wipe: System Data, 3rd Party apps, Dalvik, Internal storage, Cache Partition
2. Install Rom.xxx.zip (default ff settings)
3. install SuperSU (default settings)(if necessary)
4. Install Gapps package (Default ff settings)
everything goes through smoothly, i get to a good running environment. Then, once I add my google account and open the store, it attempts to check for updates. Updates are usually available for google webview etc, they all fail with a 505. Tried, removing account then signing back in, changing time, clearing cache stopping processes, nothing seems to solve the issue.
so ive finally encountered a solution to at least get everything running. Install CM12.1 with TKgapps (tk_gapps-modular-pico(uni)-5.1.1-20150920-signed.zip) NOT opengapps. Not sure why opengapps isnt working right now but its not, with no rom that i have tried (fire 7" 2015) other versions of tkgapps didnt work either they also 505ed on me, but these ones work great.

Still hoping for good working gapps for SlimLP (my favorite so far)
yeah... so even after all of that, i woke up just to find it 505ing again. fml.
i have never had this problem with any rom for any other device, EVER. this is so frustrating.
I gave up on finding a fully functional gapps package for any roms on this device. What I did is just force update every apk 505ing on me through ADB. Everything is running smoothly now. Will update if anything changes. (should have done this like 5 hours ago... but when you are tired you dont think straight... hahahaha)

Sorry to hear of all the problems w/GAaps packages. Seems to be a 1-off as a large community uses Open GAaps on this device w/o issue. Multiple ROMs.
Some people having trouble with latest released carbon rom 8.1 Oreo running, the issue is with Google play services which stops again and again. I found it that if you install stock or full package of open gapps it won't happen then. And rom will run smoothly.
Google play services stops again and again with pico or nano version of gapps.
That's it for now....
I've recently factory reset my Note 9 which was rooted and subsequently unrooted prior to purchase. Before I reset it, I could install S Health 4.x to bypass the root issue with the most recent version. This time, however, I cannot get version 4.x to install. I've tried via APK mirror and also via ADB, but it fails "App not installed". Other apps downloaded from APK mirror install fine.
Any ideas without rooting again, which I don't want to do?
Facing the same issue after updating to pie on s8.
It was working on oreo
dont know what all of you guys are doing wrong but I'm on pie and its working fine.(knox tripped)
im not hiding it with magisk. every custom rom available for pie that ive tried had it working. maybe the roms have something baked in to make it work but i have not herd of such.
plus v4 is ancient.
