I have a software problem - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have LG G2 phone.
The problem is, when i click on the application button, a message shown to me telling me that :"Unfortunately, Home was stopped"!
so i can not reach the list of the applications!
Could you please tell me how can i fix this issue?

Your launcher is messed up somehow, if you can't get to Google play to download a launcher, you could sign in to Play on computer, and push launcher, such as Nova, to the phone. BTW, this a G3 forum.

Make sure you have your phone backed up and try a factory reset, You're getting a force close error which is almost always caused from bad permissions.
If that doesn't work, you can download es file explorer (needs root) and fix the permissions on these 3 system apps "home" & "Home Selector" & "Home Theme"
And if worse comes to worse, you can flash back to a fresh firmware.

[Q] Google Play Store App

hi,
this is my first post,
i've just installed 9.1.0-CRYPTOMILK-ALPHA9-marvel ,on my HTC Wildfire S A510e, and trying to get along...
but, unfortunately, i can't manage to run Google Play Store application.
first, i've tried through browser, after click on INSTALL button, i get message your download will start shortly....or something like this,,,,and actually NOTHING happens....
then, i've search for instalation of GooglePlayStore app, and came across to something like this : com.android.vending-****.apk,
*** various versions, from -1-DL to -4.1.6
i have installed via usb connection to my pc(windows xp sp3), and then command prompt, like :
adb install com.android.vending-***.apk, every single time went ok, got message Success. before that, on the same way i've installed Astro File Manager...runs perfectly.
then ,on my phone, when i start Google Play Store application, every time application begins to load and then suddenly crashes,
without anykind of message !
what i'm doing wrong ?
is there some incompatibility between my phone, android version,google play store application version ?
please help !

I don't understand why I need this? Should I refresh my device?
The rom-developer writes in the first post: "Fourth Build
-Recreated GAPPS - 17MB - Only PlayStore and ContactSync" so there should be the playstore within, shouldn't it?
Can you plz explain how this app can help me?
thx !

Generally what happens there are 2 many gapps available around there. With this app its easier to find the one for ur Rom, Since a wrong one may give you Force Close for all ur apps.

ok thx! i will try it! :good:
I installed the app and it would have installed gapps, but only the regular "bloated" version. So I searched for a compatible version and tried a few times. A compatible Version for the rom [ROM][4.2.2]EnviroROM[V4][Pre-Final] so far is Superslim Gapps for JB 4.2.2.
Thanks for your help!

com.google.process.gapps has stopped message

100% fully stock AT&T G3. Every time I reboot as soon as it loads the OS I get the following error message "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.". Is there any way to fix this so that I do not receive this error message?

i am glad i am not alone. currently looking for answers as well as updating it to v10G did not help. the error is still there.
Are you running swiftkey? I had the same problem and discovered swiftkey was causing it and had to downgrade to an older version.
No swift key. Thanks for the suggestion

no swiftkey either here
I had the same error on boot and I didn't have Swiftkey installed. It actually turned it to be the Google keyboard. I switched back to the LG keyboard and then updated the Google one in the Play store. After switching back to the Google one, I no longer get the error message on boot.
Anyone can confirm this "hdcp" advice?
Just cleared the google play store services data and the error went away. This happened to me after I used unlock code.

last time I had it I had to root and delete google play services frm data with root explorer then reboot and follow mine steps then install the latest google play services in between the errormessages
Deleted Google Keyboard. Problem disappeared. This was causing my phone to restore deleted photos and mess up photos that were already on the SD card. Huge headache.

My grandma's phone was having this error message, I tried clearing Google Play Store and Service, Calendar, & Calendar Storage's data and cache. Didn't work. I tried this and the error message went away. THANK YOU!
I had the same message of "unfortunately the process .com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
I did as the others suggested and I un-installed google keyboard and rebooted the phone and the message was gone!
Just a guess, but Sounds like it must be some kind of bug/error in the way the LG software for the keyboard handles a change in keyboard settings when it is changed or swapped out since some people have had the same issue with swiftkey?
I had this same error. Phone is rooted and it turned out to be the Google Keyboard. Uninstalled it and problem went away.
+1 on rooted and Google Keyboard causing the error.
Anyone know of a fix or workaround? LG's keyboard causes my phone to lag.
Go-to Google keyboard advanced settings and uncheck the display icon setting then reebot.

[Q] Cannot download Apps

Hi friends
at this first, i need to say that my English is not good, cause its not my first or even second language XD
So ... sorry for my bad English.
I bought this phone yesterday (i9190)(4.2.2)
everything is ok, but i have a problem.
i cant download any apps on blackmarth, apptoide or our Official market "Baazar" and I have this limit to Galaxy apps and google play market. For reasons, our country cannot access Google play market, so i only have "Galaxy Apps" market for download apps. and i think you know that Galaxy apps does not contain all apps we need.
Ohh... i forget that to say i rooted phone and freezed (!!?) knox apps and its staffs.
and one other thing... that i can install apps manually from phone's file manager or ES or etc... (I 've been a nexus user, and know that should check "Unknown source" in security settings.)
it says "Failed to download [app]" on notification bar before start download
or throw error: " Parse error There was a problem while parsing the package. " after finishing download.
i think its a security option that Samsung put on his Roms.
now i want to know , is there any way to disable this ..... security option .. and download/install apps freely? (At least from our official market!)
i dont want to flash CM based roms or MIUI.
again, sorry for my bad English.
any idea?

From where did you buy it? Does your phone have other google apps like gmail, g+, google maps etc?
You can download the latest playstore (Version 5.4.12) from the attachment provided below..Transfer it to the phone and enable unknown sources...Install apk normally..
The apk/file provided by @a76vna is google installer...It will help you download all the apps made by google (Only google apps ; No third party apps can be downloaded from it)\
Please tell us how did it brick..Is it stuck on bootloop??...You can revive the phone by downloading and flashing the stock rom from official Asus website...

Sorry for the short post.
The phone was stuck in a boot loop. It would show the ASUS logo, then the spinning wheel.
Turns out the problem was that I was trying to flash the .11 version of the pre root image instead of the .13
Flashing the .13 version fixed the boot loop and also installed all the google apps! So both problems are solved now.
I was able to install all the gapps using this method.
I found the google installer for the miui and than it worked flawlessly.

Any changes you know where I can get the correct Google Play Services for the zenfone 2? I tried all sorts different version and nothing works. Every time I install it I just keep getting the message "Unfortunately google play store has stopped". I tried all sorts of different things to get it to work but its still not working. Right now I have it uninstalled by factory data resetting the phone. I downloaded the attachment you had and every time I open it it just close back and no errors. If anyone has any suggestions for me would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Will do. Some of you might already know this trick but ill tell you what I did. You need to uninstall google play store and google play services I could not do it from the phones options so I had to factory data reset my phone. To do so go to settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset Note : This will erase all your data on your phone. I did not back up my data or turn on any of the options in the backup & reset. Ones you are done with the factory data reset check if you any google apps installed on the phone. If you do then try to find a way to uninstall them I don't know how. If you don't have them installed then go to settings > security > tun on unknown sources. Then go to your browser on the phone and go to m.app.mi.com then click on the green button at the top right hand side it will start downing Xiaomi market. When you have the app installed on to your phone open it and search google. You should get a button that says "search other markets" if you do click it. You need to find the right now I can't post pics so do a search for Xiaomi google installer in google images and you see it . This should install google installer, ones its done installing open google installer and install google play store you should know and see the icon for it. You will get a prompt saying install google services framework click ok. Then you should see "Google Services Framework" ,"Google Account Manager" , and two different google play icons. On the bottom there is a install all button click it. You will get another prompt just click continue and just keep hitting next and install ones you get prompted. That it you should have everything working now hope that helps.
PS: I know this is a long away to do it. You can just download for the 4 apps and transferring them to your phone internal drive and installing them. You could do that but that's not what I did.

[Q] System update

Hi
I downgraded my nexus 7 to 4.4.4, because i think kitkat is better.
The tablet downloaded the 5.0.2 update, it's more than 300mb.
Where does it download?
I want the know the folder and file name to delete it,
because i have 16GB version, and it's matter
Sorry for bad English.
MFG,
Mike
Founded, cache/update.zip (We can delete it)
+
We need to disable the update with DisableService app (Free on play store)
Google play service->systemupdateservice untick.
Reboot, finish.

Thank you! I've used that app for other things but didn't even think of using it to get rid of that annoying notification. Have been searching XDA for 45 minutes trying to see what to freeze. Proof that if you search you will find it here. Thanks again, such a simple resolution lol.
