Hello, my name is Rob and I'm new to XDA but I've used your forums before to help me root my Coolpad and this new phone (kudos)
So I bought this phone a little over a month ago and I've been super severely disappointed in it.
I'll just start off quickly by telling you a little behind my purchase...
I needed to upgrade from the Coolpad 3G that I had been using for months with Sprint's pre-paid and I was planning on getting a Samsung Galaxy.
Well they had to run my credit and I couldn't put down the $200+ deposit they wanted for the S5. So the guy brought up this HTC Desire that was on sale for $99.99 or whatever, without and research or anything I went ahead and bought it because I desperately needed a new phone with 4G capability for my new job... the sales guy sold me on it having 8 GB internal storage (Which was a huge lie... thanks, man), 1 GB of RAM, a solid quadcore processor and a decent camera.
I immediately got home and realized that there was only barely 1 Gigabyte of free storage and I about threw a fit but I knew I needed the phone so I kept it and I took the next step, (Rooting it so I could install and run link2SD)
So I went through the long, tedious process of rooting my phone and putting TWRP, superuser, etc. on it and got my link2SD going.
The day after I finished rooting my phone these errors started popping up and telling me that I had an update I needed to install and download:
(I guess I can't post the pictures I want to post on here until I make 10 posts? so I uploaded screencaps all to this directory)
http :// skakills.com /HTC/
It made it so I can't even use my Gmail or my hangouts app on the phone (Gmail being the most important) this is seriously distressing.
also , this update pops up every few hours and I have tried to install it but it just bounces me back to the recovery TWRP screen and I can't seem to figure it out.
I work a double shift at work every day, I play in 2 bands and I've scoured the internet, forums and lost tons of sleep over this, I just want to be able to use this phone for a few more months without these issues, if anyone has any kind of idea what I can do to fix the errors and get my updates installed or if there is a better option (I'm okay with wiping / resetting since my apps and pictures are all backed up) let me know ASAP, please and thank you very much!

Download an app killer/disabler of your choice (I use Titanium Backup but it's the paid version) after you install it look through all the apps on your phone and find this one "updater" and freeze/disable it and then reboot the updating will stop and the reason you can't install it is because the phone is no longer stock and you unlocked the bootloader.
Regarding the play store problem open internet and search for the latest version of play store and then download the version via internet by searching for the version to download like this Google Play version 5.8.8 APK Download and after downloading the APK install it and reboot into twrp and clear the dalvic cache and cache reboot and the problem should be gone.

I really appreciate the help as far as that update thing goes.
I guess I didn't explain the part with the GMail and the hangout apps.. it is only those apps that are affected, I guess I will try uninstalling the gmail and hangout apps again because I try to launch them but it gives the "Unknown issue with Google Play Services" error and then force closes.
Also every once in a while it is giving me a weird 'Google Music' error .
I will try to freeze that update thing with Titanium backup (I have the full version I got on my old phone I just haven't installed it on here yet)
Once again, thanks a lot I really appreciate the quick response and I hope to check more of the forums out soon.

Well if you fix the Google play store error you'll be able to update your Gmail and Hangouts apps.. I fixed them before by first fixing the play store problem. Go into twrp and select wipe and choose cache and dalvic because it will help.

Okay so I froze the 'Updater' app, rebooted and I think that it has stopped which is good.
I still am getting this Google Play Services Error every few minutes, I downloaded the Google Play .apk , installed it, rebooted into recovery and cleared the dalv and regular cache but I'm still seeing this error come up... I even tried to disable Google Play Services notifications and just accept that it won't ever go away but it is still happening. I'm still not sure of the actual cause of these errors, at least I can use GMail and Hangouts now because I just restored the factory versions.

If I were you, I'd download the entire gapps package (google apps) it's between 150 and 250MB in size and it's a zip so you can install it via recovery I'm pretty sure your problem will go away if you get the updated gapps for your phone.

Yes there is a site but no entire Google apps package is an apk it's in zip format and all you need to do is download it to your sd card and then boot into recovery and tap install then navigate to wherever you saved the download to and tap to select it for installation and after the install go back to the home page and select wipe and then on the next window select dalvic and cache then swipe the bottom to wipe them both and then reboot and you should be good to go.. Here's the package
In this package you will find the core Google system base, off-line speech files, Google Play Store, FaceUnlock, Google Bookmarks Sync, and the following Play Store applications:
Google + | Google Calendar (replaces stock/AOSP Calendar) | Google Now Launcher | Google Play services | Google Search | Google Text-to-Speech | Gmail | Hangouts | Maps | Street View on Google Maps | YouTube

Just make sure you follow the instructions exactly as I wrote them cause you need to clear the dalvic and cache so don't forget.

What rom and kernel do you happen to be using? Try this too though tap settings then apps and look for the Play Store and tap into it and then force close it and then scroll down and delete the data and when it says all user accounts will be deleted or whatever just say yes and then go back to your home and reopen the Play Store and try to use it again after it logs your account back in.
Edit: Do you see Google play services in your app list? Uninstall the update if it says to uninstall update on it and then update it again then try to use stuff.

You should try pattiboi new kernel that he put up yesterday because it's pretty smooth running and my phone is much better than it was before.. Did you uninstall updates to the Play services and try to update it again?
Edit:
Do you have titanium backup? If so I need you to download this version of Google play services and install it but first use titanium backup to fully uninstall the Google play services that's on your phone.. Here's the link for the Google play services version 8.1.15 make sure you don't tap the one that says get it on Google play store because obviously you can't use the Play Store so tap the one next to it, it looks like this "d Download" after you downloaded it install it and reboot your phone...

yes I have Titanium backup. I'll try this new kernel, yeah I tried to uninstall updates for Play services but there wasn't even an option for it.
I'll download this and run that in titanium before installing

You should try fixing your problem before going to the other kernel.
All you need to do is delete Google play services in Titanium Backup and then download the one I gave you and install and then reboot.
Hi All,
I just got my MIX. Stock Chinese ROM. Bootloader locked.
I'm having the hardest time getting google contacts to sync.
I opened up the mi app store and I did a search for 'google'.
I then installed the app that looksl ike a play buttoun surrounded by 4 partial circles (one in each corner). That installed a bunch of google stuff, including play store (which works).
There are no phone contacts though, and when I do:
settings -> other accounts -> Google
I don't see 'contact details' and I feel that's wrong.
I only have 'app data', 'gmail, google fit data, and people details.
I'm still locked so I can't install twrp to install gapps.
any other suggestions?
- Frank
I got it working - used this installer:
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=280245&page=2#pid5079888
to install google contacts.
Then enable all contacts permissions for the app, then sync.
How do you guys enable permissions for google apps ? I flashed a Gapps pico zip and it's as if the permission system can't touch apps who are in /system (it's grayed out in the apps list), but i'm getting force close constantly because of google play services having no permissions for location services

Thanks but that's the issue actually, it's not in that list, because it's in /system (I think)
I think I had a similar issue with contacts not syncing from google, I had to permit something(i think it was "google contacts" or just "contacts") in the permission manager and after that it worked just fine after a reboot

I think you have to wait a bit for it to sync and maybe do a reboot and turn sync on off it happened to me aswell
Hey Frank,
I just got my Mi Mix and i'm running into the exact same problem. I have all the other Google play services installed and syncing fine (Gmail, Calendar, etc) but i can't see to get my contacts to show. I've tried installing both Google Contact sync 6.0.1 and even latest 7.1 and given permissions to everything , even tried rebooting multiple times, but contacts wont show in the Google accounts.
How did you get it to work?

I faced permission problems on China Stable and China Developer. I tried:
flashing gapps nano
using installer
following at least 3 different tutorials for MIUI 8 6.x gapps from en.miui.com
I finally gave up and installed the EU rom.
There's one thing missing in EU rom: They restricted the themes to only contaion international (mostly Indian) Themes.
But 90% of the cool themes are in the chinese theme store and they're awesome. But it's not possible to get them if they're paid. I have MiCredits and want to use paid chinese themes, but that's impossible on the EU rom.
I had the same issue when I first got the phone until I installed Google installer for MIUI

Does it manually sync or do you get an error?
I used the v1 installer to install Google contacts (looks like a red square with a white g). I wonder if it installed other frameworks.
Also I set same wakeup privs to the Google play services.
Once I get unlock code and can backup I'll reset my phone and try again from scratch.

Had the same problems with flashing gapps, it seems flashing gapps puts them in /system, which the permission manager in MIUI fails to access, so the system gapps are stuck without proper permissions. No idea how that's even possible since apk's in system get administrative rights AFAIK, probably an additional layer of security in MIUI ?
Eventually I wiped everything, started over again, flashed the dev rom, got these 3 required gapps apk's from apkmirror and installed them manually, everything worked fine after a reboot then.
Google Account Manager 7.1
Google Play services 10.0.84 (448-137749526)
Google Services Framework 6.0.1
Google Contacts Sync 6.0.1 (Not required for basic play store functionality, but you should use this version if you want google contacts sync)
I know there are installers on the miui forums that do this for you but they look very dodgy and the less Chinese apps on this phone the better.

I'm on xiaomi.eu already, with working gapps. But I would be interested to go back to Chinese Developer ROM and install the gapps manually your way.
So which ROM do you use and do your google apps, especially GPS work for Google Maps and can you turn on Google Maps Timeline?
Even after using the installer v2, I found I had to downgrade Google contacts sync to version 4.0.4
Then contacts starting syncing.
Hi all. So just got and put it up for sale as contacts wouldn't sync and I use dual SIM pro to assign a sim to a contact. Even had problems with that. However just come across this thread and wondered if I installed EU Rom and these apps it would work?
How do I install the EU Rom?
Sorry for the noob questions.
First try Google contacts sync to version 4.0.4
I got mine yesterday and installed nova launcher prime and works great.

as the title says i have been having problems getting the youtube app to stop updating , i followed the instructions in the vanced post , i did the method 2 of the magisk installation (where you download the latest version from the page and install the module) placed the install via magisk module and the detach from playstore module on the download folder , all goes normal i even deleted all youtube data , and unistalled the app with titanium backup , and disabled the auto update tick box several times and it still ends up updating youtube and removing the vanced version :/

For the app should be enough.
that's what i always do and it still ends up updating , even with the detach module, maybe i'll have to disable it all together :l
That's werid stopping auto update from the play store should stop all that

Well, it doesn't. I'm experiencing the same.
i am using it on pie. is really frustrating the app update by itself.
SWITCH OFF AUTO UPDATE IN PLAYSTORE ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL.
detach in TB is NOT WORKING also.
but version on nougat doesn't have this issue, maybe google did something fishy on PIE?
I guess you should ask for help in the dedicated threads for Youtube Vanced instead of creating a new thread for this.

Same in Oreo. Never had problem with Nougat.
I installed it just like the OP, it would detach but play store would attach youtube back on the update list by itself every night. When the phone is restarted the detach module in magisk will detach it again, but the next morning, play store would put it back on the list.
use service disabler

Disabling the auto-update from Play Store works fine for me. I've been using Vanced for months and no such issues.

Your link is dead. However, you inspired me.
Which service in Google Play Service should be disable?

Only disable that 2 services in Youtube can detach the app from Play?? It works?
I was thinking to disable some service in Google Play Services.

Read the part in the first post under:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757
"Explanation of the (Ad)Vanced options of the official installer:"
After thatd download the files from the 3# post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75772897&postcount=3
Use the Mediafire host. in the Installer folder you'll find all the necessary files.

I've been trying to figure out this issue for a while.
Basically issue for me is on Google Pixel XL and now Pixel 3 XL and my friends Moto x4, all on both Android Oreo and Pie... Using Magisk repo install and uninstalling stock YouTube, and then adding enable_detach empty file in cache folder in root along with turning off "Enable auto update" in Google play store for YouTube . Usually this works for a few weeks but every now and then it ignores it and updates itself and turns on auto update without user explicitly allowing it. (Says YouTube was just updated).
I can easily fix it by uninstalling updates again but my friend doesn't know how to do this easily. I also tried to remove YouTube forcefully with titanium backup from system app and detaching months ago but that caused a lot more problems. Currently it gives option to attach to market forced despite it still showing up in market saying update (and auto update off for it)
I wanted to understand the plz and settings.sh options if using specifically Magisk method 1 (Magisk repo). Or are those only if using the other methods under magisk and/or root only option (no Magisk)?
Use the Sudohide xposed module.
This Module will prevent apps from detecting other installed apps on your device. Settings are done on per app basis.
Steps to hide VancedYT (A) from Play Store (B):
1. Select app A in the main list a new list view will be launched
2. Tick the checkbox next to app B in the newly opened list view
3. Press apply to save and back to exist
4. Restart luncher or reboot the phone.
Slow down.
Detach using titanium backup WORKS
For me I could only press "attach to playstore"
So I did. After I got button detach.
It worked and removed it
Hi !
On my nokia 7 plus (android 9 / 00WW_3_39D) I have a problem on google play store.
When I install an application no progress notification of download and installation is displayed ...
But I have the right to install installed ...
I launched "reset pref apps"
Verifications of the authorization of the notifications in the checked, unchecked and recchecked parameters (for google play store, download, service play store)
Restart phone.
With these manipulation: no positive impact.
When I download to a browser without problems, the notification and download icon in progress is displayed.
Here is a screenshot "log of notifications":
download but not visible in the bar ... application has been installed this time visible ....
if you have any ideas to solve this problem I'm interested: D

Thank you!
Hi,
other solution found on the forum OnePlus:
"
So i cleared the cache and data of Google play Store and boom it worked. Now download progress bar is there.
So the steps that worked for me was:
1) Settings-> app & notification->see all apps->3 dot at top & choose show system-> android setup-> clear cache and data
2) Go back-> scroll down to download manager app-> turn off all the setting and enable it again
RESTART NOW
3) Go to app and notification-> select Google play Store-> clear cache and data
Now start downloading any app.

Hi. I have this device since last Saturday. I was trying today to see if I can install Google apps, because I like stock feeling of android. Now I won't keep them, because without root I can't freeze system apps, and so I would have 2 galleries, 2 message apps etc running in background.
I tried many of them, but when I tried Google phone play store says my device is not compatible.
So I tried to download the APK (arm64) but I can't install it.
Is there a way to bypass this limitation and, why the hell I can't install such an important Google app?!
You must root your smartphone with magisk then you must download Google framework install It and then download Google dialer apk not from Google play store. I have not problem and use It by default phone app
