Revert stock apk to an older version.

For various reasons I wish to rollback the Google Plus application to something older than factory default. I have not had any luck. How do i do so? No root.

You can uninstall all the updates of Google Plus from the application manager. Have you tried that?

Not good enough. I actually need to roll back to a version older than factory stock.

I see. As there is no option for really deleting the app, you have to manually go to the phone's root directory and delete the googlePlus apk from there, so you can install an older version, but I guess that is not possible without root.

And to my understanding the s6 active can't be rooted??

EXACTLY
No developer yet is interested to create a root for the SM-G890A.
So the best is to drive over the phone with a pickup truck. :crying:

Galaxy s6 and S6 Edge with AT&T have root, so hopefully we will also get it, if not very soon.

Cannot install or update applications from the Play Store since upgrading to N

I enrolled on the beta program on my Nexus 6 and allowed it to update to Android N (June build) and now I cannot install anything from the Play Store or update applications through it. I get an error every time.
I have tried:
Turning it off and on.
Disabling Play Store and clearing the cache (cannot see anywhere to uninstall updates).
What should I try next? Should I try and uninstall the Play Store and reinstall it through apk?

Clear data of Google Play Services and Play Store then try installing/updating apps.

This did not work. It still just shows "Downloading" constantly and yet nothing happens. The bar just goes across endlessly til I stop it.

It is error code 495 if that helps, I will try Googling it now...

It still has not worked. I also turned off the data saver built into Android 7 and also turned off Opera Max in case they were affecting it.
I really don't want to flash it but I might just wait until the final launch of Android 7 in August and flash it.

Max does not route Google Play requests through compression servers as it's HTTPS. Also we're testing if it works properly before each release .

I have the same problem, but what I have found that works is: starting the download.. force stopping the play store app. Tap playstore app again, then download will finish. I have to do that every download. Keeps me from switching back to MM.

no clue why anyone wants N at this point; very few things actually work on it, and MM has so many fantastic roms/tweaks/features right now..
Its only another month or so until its officially out; especially if you are N00B, you should really wait until then

I got bored and didn't have access to a PC so I thought I'd try it. Surely access to the play store and the ability to install apps is one of the most basic and prioritised functions and given it's the 3rd Android N beta release I thought it would be fine.

Actually DevPreviews have been what I would consider fine for me. Very few problems that would cause me to return to mm. 99% of the stuff I use works, so I'm good with it. I am encrypted and I manually flash different partitions when updating. I've had very few problems.

Truth be told I don't know a great deal about Android yet. I can do some basic stuff that average phone owners can't like installing apks but I've never flashed anything. I'm not scared to try with a step by step guide though so I might try one later. I will see what version of CM is newest - does CM automatically update now? So when Android N is launched it will update? Or I'd have to flash it again?

Just restart the device and then try. Or force stop playstore and run it again. i'm using android N beta (NPD56N) since 7 days and i found no bugs yet! its working perfect on my nexus 6

I was the same way when I started with my Evo. I've come a long way since then( only less fear lol). I've learned a lot from searching first, then if I can't figure it out, there's someone on here willing to help. Trial and error is a great teacher. I don't use CM anymore. I use pureNexus.. When it comes out for N, I'm going back to it. Beanz is a great developer. Make a rom back up and start flashing.

New design Android Messages not working on P20 pro

Hi guys,
So I have the latest version of Android Messages but i still have the old design. I've been trying to uninstall and reinstall it but still not working. I've also tried to reboot my phone and everything but it still stuck on old design.
If anyone can help me I really appreciate it.
Thanks.

It's probably a server side push. I tried the version that first had dark mode but then Google pulled it

Can you tell which version you got?

I had the update, dark mode completely flips and app doesn't open. Switched off the dark mode and all fine. (On pixel experience treble ROM)

You're clearly using emui. Probably caused by the treble ROM, although I've read reviews on Google play saying the same (most likely unrooted phones)

I am on same version of Android Messages and CLT-L29 8.1.0.152 (C636) with no issues. except not able to set custom notification sms sounds for each person like I could before.

Why wouldn't I be using emui? There is no mention of what ROM is in use in this thread??
Also I am rooted.
Magisk 16.4
PS: There is a tweak that can be done but this was reverted back afterwards, can't remember it exactly but just Google it.
After the most recent update the dark settings were listed and I've had no issues

you need to enable dark mode, force close the app, clear cache.
then it should work.

No solution for GMS on phone...?

Hi there,
1 week ago, i bought the p40 pro+ and ever-since I have been trying to downgrade but i feel like its not possible.
Every video on youtube doesnt work for me because they have all different base software models and therefore also different firmwares. I then asked some help on this form in an existing topic but nobody was able to help me. I also had contact with Bender-007 (creator of googlefier, i believe?) and after 3 days going back and forward, he wasnt able to fix it. So im starting to believe that my phone is unable to downgrade?
Things I have tried:
- hisuite + proxy
- googlefier
- VM ware (which worked but i dont wanna use my phone this way)
- downgrading without PC or USB method but not working.
So, the real issue is that everyone keeps telling me that i need to download firmware xxx.131; but i keep telling everyone that xxx.131 doesnt exist for my base software information! I have ELS-LGRP6 and the earliest firmware existing on firmware finder is xxx.132; not 131.
So, if the correct firmware i need to downgrade to, is non-existent to any firmware finder i use, then how can i downgrade?
Look at the screenshot. The green are alphabetically set to show LGRP6 and it ends at xxx.132; then magenta starts which is only LGRP4 and this is the only one that shows me xxx.131.... But i need from ELS-LGRP6 EDIT: screenshot is not showing so click the link. https://ibb.co/5r4vzP4
So anyone please has some solutions? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Have you followed the redskull guide from YouTube? I was able to install Gapps using his guide on 10.1.0.155.
Please try his and have patience, because you might be repeating the procedure several times.

I have tried from over 15 different youtubers. Including Redskull. But I will give it another try. Thank you. Ill keep the topic informed. As long as i havent written that it works, im more than happy to hear other peoples solutions. Thank you!

What I did was to follow RedSkull's guide till account creation and launching of the blue G App (pressing the blue button and let it run in the background), and then I start following the @eloygomezTv guide from that step. Only change I did was before installing the Google Play Services (from EloYGomeZTv files), I uninstalled the microG. And then I followed the guide from EloYGomeZTv with his files and viola, I was able to install it. It took me two tries though.

I dont understand your comment. sorry... I dont follow the exact thing you did. What is microG? Is that the G-app? And, did you press it or not?
The issue is that i never can open the G-app... So the fact he can open it means its not gonna work for me probably. Because hes procedure at the start is exactly the same as the procedure of red skull... They do both do the exact same things and the only issue i have is not being able to open G-app. And the reason i cant open G-app, is because i need to downgrade BUT the downgrade is xxx.131 and this one doesnt exist for ELS-LGRP6.... So, im still in the same situation as one week ago

Ok so i fixed everything. GMS is finally working.
There is a new video online on youtube which made it all happen (to install GMS). But first, i had to downgrade ELS-LGRP6 which wasnt easy because nobody new the correct firmware i had to download for this base software. So, i decided to take the earliest firmware i could find, checked if it was OK for my device and then used proxy and hisuite to downgrade to ELS-LGRP6 xxx.132
Then i used this youtube to walk me through. Its amazingly simple and shows everything too.

Hello,
Cool for you, i did the same thing as you and it works well, I can open the Play store, youtube and the other apps without problems except for the maps.
Do you have the maps in the apps?
I have no maps displayed but a message telling me “update google play services” and nothing more.
If I open “maps” the app opens and closes quickly.
I do not know why
now I am in LGRP6 10.1.0.144 (C432E2R3P3) and the smartphone offers me to make the updates (I dont do so as not to lose the GMS)

Question Google backup not working when screenlock is set for android13

Hi, I recently upgraded to OOS 13 stable version and I found the builtin backup to google does not work anymore if I enable the lockscreen password.
If I remove the lockscreen password, the backup could succeed.
I am wondering whether anyone has the same issue ?
BTW, I have magisk module installed and rooted.

How do you know it's not working?

Go to system -> google -> backup
Click backup now, it will prompt the lockscreen and starts to backup, then it will complain 'backup failed'.
Open your google driver and check your backup file, it will show size of zero.

Oh ok, that's odd. What size pin / password do you have?
If it's 4 then increase it to 6 and see if it helps..
