[Q] System update - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

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.

It'll probably go back to 3.4.4 w/o issues, but why would you do that? It's just going to auto-install again.
It's a bigger hassle to uninstall and block updates than just let it be. Embrace change. Everything is being rebranded, you might as well let the Play Store do its thing.

Annoying Market Glitch - reinstall after wipe

I was booting up for the first time after a wipe, finished the setup and all my apps were auto installing over wifi. Well my power went out in the middle of all the apps downloading,so an error appeared for each app in my status bar.
Manually I could start each installation one by one. All good. But adobe flash player was one of the apps that got interrupted. I've obviously had it installed constantly thru ICS. Well immediately the market won't let the download continue for flash because it got interrupted. Even though it was just installing 30 seconds ago. Says my device is not compatible. Is the market that glitchy where I'm not out of the loop of existing users allowed to continue using flash? It took a simple power outage failed download and the market can't remember I should have flash installed?
I'm annoyed cause I wanted to keep flash officially in my app install list.

Maybe try pulling the flash related apk from a back up, then push to your /system/app folder then fix permissions then use titanium back up to restore market link

Seems as if Adobe has pulled the Flash player out of Play Store earlier then the said august 15th date...
Can't find Flash player on the play store thru search (on a Gnex which doesn't have it installed).
On my phone, which does have it installed, says my device 'isn't compatible with this app' when I go into the Play store and look it up. If you'd like, I could attach the .apk file here..
EDIT: Attached Adobe Flash Player 11 apk

I don't think you can search for Flash on a Gnex since it's not supported. Try browsing to play.Google.com from your desktop. But even if you find it you may not be able to push it to your device.

Hmm, that's strange. Seems your right, but I HAD previously installed it on my Gnex... and flash is working in any case. Maybe it's JB, since it's not supported, it won't show up in the app store?

Correct.
Please use the Q&A sections for questions.

If you copy the url of the app from your desktop/play store and open it through market on your device, it will say unsupported.
Forget flash. Use html5, it's way better.

Thanks. Yeah this is some kind of bug, Google should be made aware of it. Frustrating.

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!

Any experience regarding installing Google apps?

Hi buddies,
1. Do you have any success regarding installig Google apps on Chinese version (M9wp)?
2. May be someone knows how to replace chinese search engine Hidi with google search?
Hi,
Download this GMS from the stock app market (see photo)
Install
Run the app, let it download the package and install it (without SD card)
Reboot the phone
After the reboot I had all the Gapps but most weren't working because the G play services version was not updated,
I downloaded the latest version, installed it than something weird happened, using a VPN of course, I wasn't able to download all the updates of the Gapps while I was able to download any other app from the play store, this for a couple of days while I was looking for a solution, than the third day, without me doing anything I was able to download them and now I have the play store version for all the Gapps and they work
About G search I just put a widget on the home and hid the Chinese hidi
Sent from my HTC M9pw using XDA Free mobile app
Thank you very much for a detailed information.
What do you think will I need vpn anyway while I'm already in Europe now?
( Already solved this issue)
I have installed GMS. After first run also.downloaded 190mb app package and when I'm trying to open app again to install google apps some chinese warning are popping up.
Well since Google is blocked nowhere but China you shouldn't need a VPN connection, cannot say more than that since haven't used mine outside China,yet.
the first pop up says that you have downloaded the package and asks you if you want to install it,
The second tells you that you have to restart the phone to complete the installation.
Great!
Everything works as you promised.

Is play store working on Fire TV stick?

Afternoon everyone.
As per the title, is the play store working on the tv stick?
I've got root (with kingo), I've installed the xposed framework. I've "adb install'd" the apk's for acc's manager, play- services, framework, search, play store (all from a firegapps zip file, found in a year old thread). I've installed and activated HDXposed also.
WHere do I go from here, if at all possible?
Ok, so i now have the play store app opening but am getting an error [RH-=01].
I'm presuming this is due to using old apk's.
Any pointers anyone?

Clear cache/data for Google Play Services, Framework and Playstore. Try to open and set up playstore again. also, what version of playstore are you using? I would try to fined a leanback version.

Same error, after clearing cache and data.
The apk's came from the firegapps zip, in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/how-to-install-gapps-root-t2960705
I've got an amlogic s812 clone box that I have root access to. I'll try scouring that box for the same apk's as that'll use a leanback variant.
Ok. I've flashed updates to the services, framework, account manager and the playstore (leanback variant from December. Most recent I could see) and still getting the same error.
i think, we get the Librarys installed to get it work but thos can only work when TWRP is installed. But current, we wait for a release of it, nobody knows if it come or not.
other way is, a Dev write a script what install all files with correct permission included... same as xposed.

Aye, thanks. I'd come accross that site during my rsearching. I'm also comfortable using abd for pushing/shell/installing etc but I didn;t want to be beaten by not getting play-store to work. ALthough, this does cover the majority of the apps that'd be needed.
